Sun Tixue Xiaoxiao didn't say anything about Chen Yichen's humility. In fact, he also had a trick on him.

Because at the family dinner of Duke Chengguo’s Mansion, Sun Tixue began to have a bad impression of Chen Yichen.

The root cause is that when writing poems and essays, Chen Yichen looked like a starving ghost reincarnated, staring at the dishes on the table and swallowing saliva. It was really insulting!

However, Chen Yichen's performance later responded to Sun Ti's academic performance greatly. He did not expect that a student who had not even passed the exam would advance and retreat in such a big scene, and responded and fought back with great pleasure.

Especially when the last song "Linjiangxian" was released, compared to the young scholars, they have been ups and downs in officialdom for half a lifetime in the past six months. They have a deep feeling of the indifferent and free meaning described in the poem.

With this kind of favor, Sun Tixue took the initiative to stay and wait after learning that Chen Yichen was coming to visit Lin Zhen today.

"Since that's the case, Xiaoyou Chen probably hasn't written a word yet. Then I'll call you Yichen."

"Young Sheng has not yet obtained the word "table", please feel free to the master."

Seeing that the two of them started chatting, Lin Zhen quipped: "The autumn wind is easy to be cold now. Even if you forget your age, you should go into the house first, and you don't have to hurry up."

"Haha, Brother Dunsheng said very much."

Sun Tixue smiled and could tell that he was in a good mood today.

"please."

After the top scholar Gong Lin Zhen said that, he made a gesture of inviting him.

Seeing Lin Zhen and Sun Tixue turn into the main hall, Li Tingxiu approached Chen Yichen and asked quietly: "Yichen, when did you meet the Grand Master?"

Li Tingxiu was full of questions at the moment. Chen Yichen seemed to be very familiar with Sun Tixue. But with the status of a grandmaster, how could he be so close to a school child? Under normal circumstances, it is impossible to meet him once. What exactly happened?

"At the family dinner of the grandmaster, I and the Grand Master were at the same table, but I didn't say anything."

“That’s all?”

“That’s all.”

Not to mention Li Tingxiu, even Chen Yichen herself was surprised. When she was at the table, Sun Tixue looked at him and showed contempt and applauded Zeng Mengjian. Why is his attitude turning 180 degrees?

Several people entered the main hall and sat in turn. The first person in charge Lin Zhen said: "Weichu, we parted in Zhangzhou, and four years have passed without realizing it."

"Yes, you resigned from your post and returned to your hometown to run a school, but I wanted to go to Yingtian to teach. I met again after a quick separation, and it has been four years since the spring and autumn."

When Li Tingxiu said this, he sighed and felt deeply. This was the case in ancient times due to the geographical conditions of transportation. Sometimes when we parted in a hurry, we didn’t know when we met again.

This passage can be called a huge amount of information in Shen Yichen's ears. He thought that Mr. Li Tingxiu and Lin Zhen were at most in the same year as the imperial examination. Now it seems that this is much more than that. Are they friends from fellow villagers?

"This time I came to Yingtian to give lectures and temporarily served as a professor at Zhaowen Academy. I will have the opportunity to walk around more in the future."

"Weichu, I'm going to tell you. After resigning from his post, I recalled the days when I was having a drink and having fun at the Beijing Township Association. I missed it very much."

Lin Zhen may not have seen Li Tingxiu for several years, and the topic is more about recalling the past and speaking casually and freely.

However, this behavior is also very consistent with Lin Zhen's personality. You should know that he can resign as the top scholar and return to his hometown to teach. Such a state of indifference to fame and fortune is really impossible for ordinary people to do.

"I'll call me a person like drinking and having fun."

Sun Tixue inserted a sentence in time, but his words and deeds did not have any airs of a master.

"Of course, it's better to have fun alone than to have fun."

"Ha ha."

...

Several senior bosses had a great time talking, and Chen Yichen, who was sitting in the last seat, could only smile awkwardly. After all, the gap between age and identity was too big, so he couldn't even interfere in such a scene and did not dare to talk too much.

After chatting for a few words, Lin Zhen saw Chen Yichen who was a little embarrassed, and then he remembered that there was still something serious about it today.

"Weichu, what's the matter when you said in the letter of worship that I asked me to meet Yichen?"

When he heard Lin Zhen finally mentioned his name, Chen Yichen's spirit came, and in fact he was also curious about what Li Tingxiu wanted to do.

"It's a shame to say that as Master Meng of Yichen, he is a little knowledgeable in the classics. Next year, not only will there be a college entrance examination, but it is also a year of the provincial examination. So I want to ask Brother Dunsheng to be Yichen's teacher to point out this sutra for him."

Just like modern teachers with different grades and subjects, there were also teachers from different periods in ancient times. To put it simply, it was roughly divided into three main periods, namely, Mengshi, professional teachers, and seated teachers.

Teacher Meng is a teacher like Li Tingxiu who teaches students basic enlightenment education, which can also be called a tutor. Under normal circumstances, teacher Meng is a student or scholar. Education is remote and backward, and even those who have not entered the school can also be a teacher.

There are very few who serve as the Mengshi for his fame and reputation. From the side, we can see how top-notch educational resources of the Duke of Chengguo Mansion are and how much Chen Yichen was before.

There are also two types of professional teachers. One is the advanced version of the Meng Master, who teaches higher academic studies. The other is to teach according to your aptitude, or to accept them as disciples when you meet good talents.

Like Lin Zhen, a big man with high attainments, recruits disciples and teaches masters as masters.

The last teacher is quite special. He hardly teaches anything in his knowledge, but in ancient times it was the most important teacher-student relationship.

Because the attendant is the chief examiner of your imperial examination, from the moment he chooses you, he will automatically become your attendant.

Compared with the teacher Meng and the master, the teacher has both the teacher and the lead in the career. What is the future career of life? It is largely bound to the master. Both parties can be said to be a community of interests, so the relationship naturally needs to be close.

In addition, there are some titles such as "Fang Master", "District Examination Emperor's Teacher", etc., which are not as important as these "Three Teachers".

Chen Yichen never expected that Li Tingxiu brought him over to make Lin Zhen his master of scriptures!

This is the top scholar of the Ming Dynasty. In later generations, it is equivalent to a doctoral supervisor at Tsinghua University and Peking University. It is unimaginable to be my primary school teacher!

Not to mention Chen Yichen, when Li Tingxiu said this, Lin Zhen and Sun Tixue, who were present, both of their expressions were frozen for two seconds.

Good guy, you old guy really dare to think about it...

"Which in Weichu, although I returned to my hometown to teach, I had never had a precedent for accepting school children as my disciples. After hearing the poem "Linjiangxian", I admired Yichen very much and even planned to invite him to attend this year's Winter Solstice Poetry Conference."

"But if you want to become my disciple, it's not OK to just rely on "Linjiangxian". Yichen has to use other knowledge to impress me."

After saying that, Lin Zhen turned his attention to Chen Yichen, with a testicle in his eyes.

Seeing this, Chen Yichen stood up and saluted Lin Zhen and said, "I'm brave enough to ask the top student to take the exam for the public school."

Li Tingxiu gave the opportunity to him. If he was indifferent and unsure, he would have let down his efforts.
