Chapter 296: Rushing to accept a disciple, a last-ditch disciple?

After Tong Huaian in the side room received the article copied by Xiaowu, he planned to leave.

He had to go find the Fourth Master, who was still waiting for a reply. But when he thought of Jiang Youzhen's performance today, his eyes were filled with joy.

The Fourth Master was not wrong about Jiang Youzhen, and his vision was excellent.

He had to try his best to convince the Fourth Master that he must bring Jiang Youzhen into his fold, otherwise Jiang Youzhen would definitely be a strong opponent in the future. If he wanted to achieve great things, he couldn't let Jiang Youzhen join the enemy camp.

He couldn't help but think of the Second Prince. The Second Prince seemed to be trying his best to fight for it, and Jiang Youzhen seemed to treat him a little differently. He couldn't help but have a headache.

"Leave one person behind to secretly protect Jiang Youzhen, and let's go to the Fourth Master's villa."

"Yes!" Xiaowu agreed.

Compared to a year ago, he has become much calmer and knows what to ask and what not to ask.

There was still laughter and joy in the hall, and everyone was talking happily. The magistrate had just ordered that the curfew for tonight be postponed for another hour, so everyone could enjoy themselves.

I didn't expect that the most lively place in the county tonight would be this teahouse, rather than those brothels.

"It's hard to imagine that Jiang Youzhen has achieved such success before he even entered the provincial academy. I think even if he doesn't go to the provincial academy, he will be qualified to take the provincial examination next year."

"Who says it's not true? I heard Wen Ruyu say that Jiang Youzhen's talent is not inferior to his, and even better than his. I just thought he was just being polite, but I didn't know that what he said was true."

"Alas! Some people are truly favored by God. God is so unfair!"

Everyone followed the person who was speaking and looked towards the waterside pavilion, where they saw Jiang Youzhen serving tea to the people at the top.

He is tall and slender, with a handsome face, and he is a gentleman with all the elegance and grace.

Everyone sighed in unison. They had to admit it! Such a talented and handsome young man, I'm afraid his house will be visited by many people in the future.

Maybe he will be chosen as a son-in-law from the list and become a good son-in-law in the eyes of high-ranking officials in the court. Wouldn't that be a quick rise to fame?

"Mr. Luye, the topic of this essay is very interesting and rigorous, which is rare in the past. I will order someone to copy it down later. I believe that many scholars will be interested in it."

Lin Jiuan smiled with a hint of sarcasm in his words. Can you imagine that it is just a competition, but the questions are more rigorous than the provincial examination?

However, he had to admit that this person was not just famous for nothing. It was impossible to come up with such a policy question without real talent and knowledge. But this only showed the strength of Jiang Youzhen and Ke Zhenan.

The two of them finished the article within just one hour, while Jiang Youzhen didn't even take an hour.

Lin Jiuan sat at the top, his ears filled with the discussions of the students around him about Jiang Youzhen.

This policy question will become a classic and a classic model article.

Jiang Youzhen will become famous. And this is just the article that Jiang Youzhen wrote before she entered the government school, which is also what she said she only knew the basics.

Although Luye Jushi was ridiculed by County Magistrate Lin, he did not feel embarrassed but was very frank instead.

"I have been thinking about this question for several months. I originally planned to discuss it with a few friends. Today, I suddenly had an idea and wanted to see how Jiang Youzhen would answer it."

Hmm? You old man, you are using the same questions you discussed with several great scholars to test a candidate who has not yet entered the government school? Can you be more shameless?

Lin Jiuan almost sneered when he heard this. Fortunately, Jiang Youzhen was a little capable, otherwise if he had been defeated too badly today, he would definitely have been reprimanded by the Fourth Master.

"Layman, you are using policy questions discussed by several great scholars to test a young student? Or you have only learned the basics?" Zhao Zan couldn't help but speak up. Aren't you going too far?

No wonder they couldn't think of a good answer for a while when they were thinking about how to answer this article. When Jiang Youzhen's article came out, they felt a little ashamed.

"If not for this, how could we have tested the potential of Jiang Youzhen and Ke Zhenqiu?"

Mr. Luye looked at Jiang Youzhen with a smile, and suddenly asked, "Jiang Youzhen, have you ever become my disciple?"

Huh? Jiang Youzhen was peeling an orange that he hadn't finished peeling yet, and looked over in surprise when he heard that.

Hmm? What does this mean? Everyone in the pavilion looked over, with Zhao Zan and Su Wang being particularly anxious.

Jiang Youzhen immediately stood up and said respectfully: "I have not yet become your disciple. I only have Jiang Shaozhi as my mentor."

Pan Changye smiled like a blooming chrysanthemum when he heard this, "Okay! Are you willing to worship me as..."

"Wait a minute!" Su Wang interrupted their conversation and stood up excitedly.

"Jiang Youzhen! Are you willing to be my disciple?" He said this and stared at Jiang Youzhen.

Jiang Youzhen was stunned. What was going on? Did Pan Changye mean to accept him as his disciple? Was the difficulty just now a test to test him?

And this great scholar Su Wang also wants to accept me as his disciple?

The students who had not yet left the hall stood up in surprise when they heard the noise here.

"What? Could it be that these two people want to accept Jiang Youzhen as their apprentice?"

"Ah? I heard that Mr. Su is very picky and ordinary people are not worthy of his attention."

"Then it's only natural that you're attracted to Jiang Youzhen! Jiang Youzhen's performance just now was amazing and overwhelming. Isn't it expected that someone as outstanding as him would be accepted as a disciple?"

Upon hearing this, everyone couldn't help but nod their heads, as if they really shouldn't be too surprised.

"But what about Master Luye? I heard that Master Luye was very optimistic about Zhou Lin. I also heard that Zhou Lin's family has a history with Master Luye. Doesn't he want to accept Zhou Lin as his disciple?"

"It doesn't say that I can only accept one disciple! Then can't I accept both?"

"Eh? That makes sense! What choice should I make? Can't I have both?"

"Then how should Jiang Youzhen choose? I would be in a dilemma. Mr. Su is the county school instructor, and I heard that he will be promoted to professor soon. And the other Luye hermit is said to have a lot of connections in the court, and many of his fellow students are officials in the court, so he has a wide network of contacts."

"Tsk! I'm not accepting you as my apprentice, why are you so embarrassed?"

"Aren't I just worried about Jiang Youzhen?" the man replied unconvinced.

When the others heard this, they thought, isn't it? If it were them, it would be really difficult!

These two people have a lot of connections. As we all know, becoming a disciple is not only for the teacher's talent, the greater benefit is the connections.

Once you become a disciple of a teacher, those connections will be transformed into resources, and the teacher will do his best to pave the way for you.

A mentor not only teaches you knowledge, but is also like a second parent.

Many people stopped what they were doing and looked towards the waterside pavilion, wanting to see who Jiang Youzhen would choose.

"Hehe! Actually, this was originally what I meant, but you spoke before me. In that case, I won't be polite." At this time, Zhao Zan also stood up and smiled at Jiang Youzhen.

"Jiang Youzhen, are you willing to become my last disciple?"

It's not about accepting a disciple, it's about accepting a last disciple! After accepting Jiang Youzhen, he will not accept any more disciples.
