Chapter 52 Apprenticeship
"Haha... I really laughed to death. I heard that Wang Kuo wanted to accept disciples today, but no one went. I don't know what kind of expression he will have after waiting for a whole day."

On the first floor of the Observatory of Stars, a young student was talking eloquently, telling the news he got from hearsay.

"What expression? I'm afraid I'm going crazy. I heard that Zhen Raji and Jacky, who lost to him, are upstairs. We can also see their reactions."

"It's not that I heard, I saw them go up this morning with my own eyes, and they haven't come down yet."

"Hey, as long as today is over and no one compromises with him, Wang Kuo, then he will be a laughing stock."

"What about the laughing stock? After all, he is just a Jinyiwei. He is not on the same road as us, so he is afraid that we will make fun of him?" Some people expressed different opinions.

"You can't say that, he is not afraid of jokes, but what about his disciples? So if anyone becomes his disciple, hehe, this life is over."

"I think Wang Kuo is the same. Could it be that he has no face and no skin, and is really not afraid of people's jokes? He is not afraid of our jokes, isn't he also afraid of the jokes of the people in the capital? After today's incident, maybe I will help him promote it ,Ha ha……"

"By the way, don't mention Zhen Raji and Jackie. Didn't you say that there are sixteen people this time? What's the reaction of the rest?"

"Hey, I heard that these people have discussed this time, and they are going to fight to the end together. It is estimated that no one will go."

"Tch, your news is out of date. I heard that a student named He Yong has gone."

At this time, the star observatory building was already full of friends and guests. While talking here, some people suddenly joined in there. They were all students, even if they didn't know each other, but obviously their opinions on this matter were very unified.

"Hmph, this He Yong is really embarrassing us scholars." Hearing what the man said, a student couldn't help snorting angrily, pouted his lips, and looked ashamed of it.

"Yeah, everyone is unwilling, but he went to apprentice. I think even if this person didn't go to Wang Kuo this time, he would be a duplicitous thing in the future."

"That's right, this person is really a disgrace to us scholars."

For a while, everyone spoke freely and launched a fierce crusade against He Yong. However, under such circumstances, in a corner not far away, a young man dressed as a literati suddenly put down his wine glass and said.

"A gentleman should cultivate his morality first when dealing with affairs. Since he has promised to do something, he should do it. How can a gentleman do what he says he will do?"

This person's voice was not loud, but it was clearly heard by the students at the two tables around him. Immediately, someone frowned and retorted displeasedly.

"This man's words are wrong. A gentleman should know the word "virtue" in the world. Although a gentleman can't go back on his words, it is also a gentleman's act to destroy relatives in righteousness."

"That's right, his Wang Kuo has caused chaos in the government and the world. This person is a traitorous official. We should rise up to resist, but how can we recognize a thief as our father?" The impassioned words of this person also aroused a voice of approval, but let The person sitting alone shook his head and sneered directly.

"Hey... It's really funny. When can a small thousand households represent the entire Jinyiwei? Recognizing a thief as a father, I wonder if you can give me one or two examples of what Wang Kuo's treacherous officials have done?"

"You..." Everyone couldn't help being stunned when they heard the words. It's okay to let them talk casually, but when it comes to specific events, they really don't know, and they are a little embarrassed for a while. Fortunately, so many people don't respond quickly The person immediately picked up and answered.

"I see that you are here to wash Wang Kuo's face. Could it be that you are also a Jinyi traitor?"

"Jin Yiwei is in trouble for the court, and Wang Kuo is a member of Jin Yiwei's thousand households. He is not a traitor of Jin Yiwei. Could it be that he is still a good person?"

Well, this is obviously a blow to overturn a boat of people, and even in order to add charges to Wang Kuo, they directly pulled out the title of Jinyi traitor party.

But anyway.After this person finished speaking, the speaker could only shake his head helplessly, not saying anything.

These people wanted to defile Wang Kuo on purpose, and there were countless literati following him, so even if three people became tigers, no matter how much he said, it would be useless, it would be better not to say anything.

Seeing that he was not talking, those students raised their heads proudly, showing disdain for his general knowledge, and gathered together to discuss again.

In fact, they also know that the Jinyiwei is the Jinyiwei. They can call it the commander of the Jinyiwei, or the acquaintance of the Jinyiwei. , and there is no need to pay for the actions of the entire Jinyiwei.

But so what?I say that, everyone just believes it, who let you Wang Kuo suppress so many of them with your own strength, you can’t hold your head up, if we don’t defile you, who else will we defile?
In fact, it was precisely because they knew about it that they kept calling Zhen Laji and Jia Ji by their names during the discussion, instead of calling them Brother Jia and Brother Zhen like before.

It can be seen that in their hearts, the actions of Jia Ji, Zhen Raji and others still make them despise them. On the contrary, even though He Yong and the others are cursing, their approval in their hearts is even higher than that of Zhen Raji and others.

………………

"Student He Yong, I met the teacher."

Two flowers bloomed, each representing a branch. When the Star Observation Building was noisy, He Yong also came to Wang Kuo.

Not long after the servants went down, the three of Wang Kuo saw a young man in relatively ordinary clothes walking in. He was carrying six things in his hand, and he came to five meters in front of Wang Kuo in a regular manner. A disciple ceremony was performed.

These six things are celery (meaning hardworking and studious, proficiency in work), lotus seeds (lotus seeds are bitter, meaning painstaking education), red beans (meaning good luck), red dates (meaning early high school) and longan (meaning consummation of merit and virtue) ) and a thin strip of meat (to express the disciple's heart).

These six things are exactly the six rites of Shuxiu, and they are also all the gifts a student uses to learn from a teacher.

Wang Kuo didn't understand these things, and he didn't know whether it was the same as his previous life, but he knew that this world was the same, because before he was ready to accept disciples, he seemed to have inquired about it.

Looking at He Yong who had performed the disciple's ceremony in a proper manner, Wang Kuo's eyes flashed with satisfaction.

In any case, it is absolutely fine to be able to practice the Six Ceremonies with a beam and worship with student etiquette.

Of course, Wang Kuo will have to observe it before he can draw a conclusion.

So he nodded in satisfaction and said: "Well, as long as you want to, there are not so many rules here, since you are here, please take your seat first."

"is teacher."

He Yong wanted to say something, but after opening his mouth, he couldn't say it in the end, so he had to sit down obediently.

"Sit wrong, go and sit there."

Wang Kuo pointed to the first position on the left.

It turned out that in the entire hall, in addition to the current three positions of the main seat, there are also sixteen positions on the left and right sides below, which were reserved by Wang Kuo for the sixteen students.

"This..." He Yong was taken aback when he heard the words, and glanced at the first position on the left, feeling an inexplicable mixed feeling in his heart.

There is a saying that the left is big and the right is small, so the first position on the left means the big brother.

In other words, Wang Kuo wants him to be the senior brother of all the students?

Although Wang Kuo had already expressed the idea of ​​making him a big brother when he was in Guanxinglou, He Yong still didn't think that he could have the strength of a big brother.

What's more, the position of senior brother is naturally good, because the status of senior senior brother often represents authority, just like the eldest brother is the father and the eldest sister is the mother.

So with the status of senior brother, he can be there when the teacher is not around.Instead of the teacher, teach the juniors.Naturally, he can also order the juniors.

"This...thank you, teacher."

He Yong was taken aback for a moment, then nodded, then walked to that position and sat down.

"Since you have already decided to apprentice as a teacher, why should you care about whether it is a senior or a junior?"

He Yong actually understood in his heart that although the position of Senior Brother represents authority, it also represents responsibility.

More importantly, as a disciple of Wang Kuo, it would be very difficult not to be laughed at by other students when he was away from home, and he, a senior brother, probably bore the brunt of it.

It may be that some people have been observing the situation here, or it may be a coincidence that shortly after He Yong came in, several students came one after another.

Another hour passed, and besides Wang Kuo and the other three, in the hall at this time, five students including He Yong had rushed over and sat down in order of left and right.

"Okay, since we haven't come yet, let's not wait." Wang Kuo looked at He Yong and the others with a gloomy expression.

Half of the gloomy complexion was because he was really angry, and the other half was because he showed He Yong and others.

Anyway, if he didn't express anything after being slapped in the face, he wouldn't have to mess around anymore.

"However, before becoming a teacher, I still need to make sure. Do you really want to worship me as a teacher?" Wang Kuo looked at the few people, only to see He Yong opened his mouth to speak, and quickly waved his hands.

"No hurry, I'm giving you a stick of incense time to think about it, and answer me after a stick of incense."

"If you ask me to be your teacher, you will be Wang Kuo's disciple. From now on, you will be a family. You can refuse if you want. The gate is there, and you can leave at any time."

"Teacher, I am willing to be a teacher, and please take me in."

What Wang Kuo didn't expect was that as soon as his words fell, He Yong stood up and bowed respectfully three times.

"The disciple is willing to worship the teacher, and ask the teacher to take him in."

"The disciple is willing to worship the teacher, and ask the teacher to take him in."

……

Some of the five people inevitably wanted to go back on their word, but since they were able to come here, it actually showed that they had a choice in their hearts, especially after He Yong made his statement first, and the remaining four people looked at each other, their faces darkened, and they stood up and followed closely. Followed by the salute.

"Okay, since you have a choice, you are my disciple, Wang Kuo. If that's the case, then you can become a teacher."

There are many rules in the apprenticeship ceremony, so it took more than an hour before the entire apprenticeship ceremony officially ended, and the status of the master and apprentice was confirmed at this point.

At the same time, Wang Kuo also knew the names of the four disciples except He Yong.
