Chapter 140
"You read that right, that direction is to the quiet room of the school." Another student hissed and said hastily.

Tao Heting gritted his teeth secretly, he didn't expect the relationship between the Zhou family and the second uncle's family to be so good, is this to support Tao Hechen explicitly?
Then, Tao Heting heard his classmate ask: "He Ting, is your cousin's family familiar with Zhou Xuesi's family?"

Otherwise, why did you have to go to Zhou Xuesi's quiet room just after entering the school?
On weekdays, except for monitoring their study progress and celebrations, Zhou Xuesi seldom shows up in front of these students. To Zhou Xuesi, these students admire him very much. How many people want to become Zhou Xuesi's disciples?It's a pity that Zhou Xuesi no longer accepts disciples.

Tao Heting smiled hurriedly: "I heard from the elders that there is some connection."

"Oh my God." A student who was usually very good with Tao Heting patted Tao Heting on the shoulder: "Heting, you are really low-key, you never said anything about it."

Tao Heting sighed slightly, and said, "You also know that my second uncle's family has been divided, how can I go to take advantage of it? After all, there are very few contacts on weekdays."

Another student said: "What He Ting said is that we scholars should be somewhat proud, but when we think about it this way, it makes sense. No wonder He Ting's cousin is going to Zhou Xuesi's Jing Think about it, entering the school at such a young age is just to take advantage of Zhou Xuesi's face and gain fame."

"That's right." With those words, all the students nodded in agreement.

"However, He Ting, you should take care of your cousin more, after all, you are a cousin." Another student said to Tao Heting with a smile.

"Very much." Tao Heting smiled: "After all, I am the older brother, and we all study together, as it should be."

"Yes, yes, yes." Everyone laughed tacitly, talked with Tao Heting intimately and went to the classroom.

But when Qian Lian's family came to Zhou Mu's quiet room, Zhou Muwen had been waiting for a long time, and Zhou Zichen was also staying in the quiet room at this time.

Seeing Tao Hechen's handsome and upright appearance, Zhou Muwen nodded in satisfaction.

Tao Hechen hurriedly bowed respectfully: "The student has met the department."

Zhou Muwen stroked his beard with a smile: "Okay."

Tao Hechen saluted Zhou Zichen again: "Young Master Zhou."

Zhou Zichen returned the gift with a smile: "Ah Chen, after a while you worship my father as your teacher, we will be considered brothers, you should call me senior brother."

Qianlian and the others hurriedly greeted Zhou Muwen and Zhou Zichen.

Zhou Muwen smiled and said to Duan: "Ah Chen's talent is very good, as long as he works hard, he will become a great talent in the future. Today, the old man is willing to accept Ah Chen as a disciple and guide him. I wonder what Madam would like?"

Duan hurriedly laughed and said: "Of course it's very good. Although I'm a village woman, I also know that it would be a great blessing for Ah Chen to be taught by Mr. Chen. I also want to thank Mr. for caring for Ah Chen."

After hearing Duan's words, Zhou Muwen nodded with a smile and said, "So, let's start without delay."

As soon as Zhou Muwen finished speaking, Zhou Sheng hurriedly placed a futon in front of Tao Hechen.

Tao Hechen hurriedly straightened his clothes, and then he knelt down on the futon and saluted respectfully: "Disciple Tao Hechen has seen the teacher."

Zhou Sheng on the side hurriedly handed over a cup of tea, Tao Hechen took the cup of tea, raised it above his head and said, "Teacher, please drink tea."

Zhou Muwen took the tea, took a sip, and said with a smile on his face: "Ah Chen, from now on, you will be my disciple of Zhou Muwen, remember to be diligent and motivated, and never slack off. To learn the ways of Confucius and Mencius, you must not only dress properly, but also Understand the facts, if you are an official in the court in the future, you must also seek the well-being of the people, respect the king above, respect your parents below, and be worthy of the heaven and earth, this is the right way."

"Yes." Tao Hechen replied respectfully: "This disciple respectfully obeys the teacher's instruction."

"Well, good, children can be taught." Zhou Muwen nodded with a smile, and put the teacup on the table beside him.

At this time, the old pine tree spirit hurriedly brought up the six gifts, and Tao Hechen said to Zhou Muwen: "I have a little heart, please accept it with a smile."

Zhou Muwen is a wine lover, seeing that there is a jug of wine in the six rituals, his eyes lit up: "Oh, there is another jug ​​of wine."

Tao Hechen smiled and said, "Teacher, this jar of wine is brewed with longan. It tastes very good. I hope the teacher likes it."

"Hahaha!" Zhou Muwen smiled happily when he heard that it was longan wine: "Okay, you have a heart."

After saying that, he hurriedly ordered Zhou Sheng to accept Liuli.

Afterwards, Zhou Muwen gave Tao Hechen a set of the Four Treasures of the Study on the case table: "I hope that this set of Four Treasures of the Study will accompany you to soar into the sky in the future."

Tao Hechen excitedly took over the Four Treasures of the Study: "Thank you, teacher."

Next, Tao Hechen washed his hands according to the steps of apprenticeship, implying clean hands and heart, removing impurities and storing essence, and let Zhou Muwen use a brush dipped in cinnabar to smear a red mole between his eyebrows.

This is called cinnabar enlightenment, which is the last process of apprenticeship ceremony. "Mole" and "wisdom" are homophonic, and cinnabar spotting moles means "wisdom", which means to open up wisdom and have clear eyes and hearts. It will be easy to learn in the future.

"Okay." After the apprenticeship ceremony was completed, Zhou Muwen smiled and said to Tao Hechen: "From now on, you will be the disciple of this old man. It is not an evil thing to act in the name of a teacher, of course, if you are bullied for no reason, the name of being a teacher is not for nothing, you can just fight back, and if there is anything, the teacher will take care of it for you."

"Disciple, thank you teacher."

Qian Lian watched from the side, and couldn't help but pursed her lips into a smile. She liked Zhou Muwen's character.

"Haha." Zhou Zichen stepped forward and patted Tao Hechen on the shoulder: "Quickly, call senior brother to come and listen. From now on, we will be brothers. If you have something to ask senior brother, senior brother will call you back."

In the past, all the disciples that Zhou Muwen accepted were older than Zhou Zichen, but this time there is one who is younger than him.

Tao Hechen smiled embarrassedly, and called out to Zhou Zichen, "Senior brother."

"Haha, it sounds so good." Zhou Zichen laughed even louder when he heard it, and Zhou Muwen couldn't help but want to help his forehead. Is this really his own son?Why are you so stupid?
Zhou Muwen was delighted to have accepted his proud disciple. Not only did he announce it in the official school, but he also celebrated with ten banquet tables in Wenxianglou.

Now, not only Taohua Town, but almost half of the Great Qin Dynasty knew that Zhou Muwen had accepted a new disciple, a 16-year-old disciple who had just read the Analects of Confucius.

All of a sudden, everyone couldn't help but wonder how this student named Tao Hechen was able to gain Zhou Muwen's appreciation.
