Chapter 335 Talking Hearts
Guan Lehe has been in the mountains for many years, his temperament is much more peaceful, and he will follow the rules that should be said, but he is still a wild and unruly person in his bones. He does not stick to the rules when it comes to ideas and theories, and he does not require his students to be certain. Follow his ideas and theories and don't allow other ideas.

Du Jinning is a modern person, and there are many concepts and ideas in his bones that are incompatible with this world.Once she meets a gentleman who wants to control the students' thoughts, it is difficult for her to get along well with him.And people in this era are very particular about "being a teacher for a day and being a father for life". She cannot disobey the teacher or go against the teacher's wishes.Once her thoughts and practices conflict with the teacher, the teacher may bind her tightly like a rope.If she wants to break free from this bondage, she has to pay the price of fame.

She doesn't need political resources and support, why is it necessary to find a rope to bind herself?
So she didn't want to worship other people as teachers.

Furthermore, the Guan family remains neutral in political struggles, which is also what she likes very much.She is very glad that she accidentally worshiped Guan Lehe as her teacher.Otherwise, if she changed to another family, such as the Yan family, Qi family, and Liang family, she would have to stand in line with her after she embarked on an official career.

She is a student of agriculture, but she is impatient to start any political struggles.

"Teacher, if you don't worship Mr. Qi as your teacher, will you not be able to study in a government school?" Du Jinning asked.

Guan Lehe was really surprised this time.

If Du Jinning directly said that she didn't want to worship Mr. Qi as a teacher, he might think that she was taking care of him and would try his best to persuade her.But when Du Jinning asked this question, it was obvious that he really didn't want to worship Mr. Qi as his teacher.

"Why, don't you like Mr. Qi?" He asked.

Du Jinning shook his head: "Mr. Qi is a simple person. He only has knowledge in his eyes and nothing else. I don't dislike him. It's just that he must have a lot of students, right? There are also many officials in the court, right?"

Guan Lehe nodded: "Yes. Mr. Qi is willing to teach students. As long as he has talent and learning, there is no problem with his character. If you ask him, he is very happy to accept him as a disciple and teach him carefully. Now he is only 13 years old. The seven-year-old seventh prince once followed his old man and studied Shiwen for a period of time. Under his name, there are 13 people who have worshiped as teachers of the eight classics, and the most promising one is the second-rank student of the imperial court. Like the Seventh Prince, there are countless students who have been instructed by him."

The reason why Mr. Qi is called a great Confucian is that on the one hand, his knowledge is really good;

"That's it." Du Jinning said, "After winning the Jinshi, I will definitely enter the imperial court. Although I am still a child student, I am a little far away from the Jinshi, but from now on, I want to make a plan for myself. I am interested in planting, and I will devote myself to agricultural planting in the future. It is my long-cherished wish to be an agricultural officer and increase grain production. I am unwilling to participate in various power struggles. So sir, I want to remain neutral in the court like the Guan family. I don't want to worship Mr. Qi as a teacher because of this kind of consideration. If I worship under his sect, when I enter the court, before I can see the situation clearly, I will probably be labeled as a certain camp. .”

"Moreover." Without waiting for Guan Lehe to speak, she continued, "I think master and apprentice are like father and son, which is very particular about fate. Teacher, you are a gentleman with a true temperament. You have profound knowledge and achievements, but you are not stubborn. Self-satisfied, free-spirited and not rigid, I sincerely feel that it is my honor to have such a teacher as you. Other teachers may not make me respect and love from the bottom of my heart. I feel that I have such a teacher as you in my life A teacher is enough. I don't need to ask anyone else to be my teacher."

In the future, as she goes farther and farther, she will meet all kinds of people like Mr. Qi who appreciate her.So she felt it was time to speak out.When encountering similar things in the future, she doesn't need to waste any more words and needs to make various explanations.

Guan Lehe was stunned for a long time before he realized that there were faint tears in his eyes.

"Teacher, how lucky you are to love me so much." There was a trace of difference in his voice, but he quickly adjusted, coughed and said, "I can't be more gratified that you have such insight. Yes. As a teacher, I never thought you could think so far and see the world more clearly than as a teacher. You have a firm mind and a clear goal. A person like you is not a great tool, and the heavens will not tolerate it."

As teachers, they seldom make such evaluations on students, and they are worried that students will feel arrogant when they hear it.But Guan Lehe felt that saying otherwise was not enough to show his appreciation for Du Jinning.This kid is really better than he imagined.

"Thank you for your compliment, sir." Du Jinning made a bow.

Seeing that this is the case, Du Jinning still doesn't feel the slightest pride, Guan Lehe is more and more satisfied.

He answered Du Jinning's question at the beginning: "You want to go to a government school. This idea is right. Only when you go out can you see far. If you stay in a small place all the time, your life is stable, but your vision is easily limited. It will become more and more inert."

Speaking of this, he looked into the distance through the door, and suddenly felt a little restlessness in his heart.

When he returned to Lishui County back then, it was partly because his political opponents used what he did as an excuse to attack the Guan family, and he wanted to avoid it;

Now that he has stayed in a small place like Lishui County for more than ten years, if not for what Du Jinning said just now, he might have stayed like this. As he said just now, people are lazy, and he gave birth to Laziness, so even if the old man told him to come out of the mountain, he didn't bother to move.

But the conversation between Du Jinning and him just now was like throwing a stone in his heart, causing ripples.He suddenly felt that this place was like a cage, imprisoning him, and he wanted to leave this place.

Du Jinning looked at the expression on her teacher's face, from confusion to contemplation, and gradually to clarity and yearning, she knew that Guan Lehe might have a different understanding of life and future.

She stood there quietly without making a sound.

Not long after, Guan Lehe came back to his senses and told Du Jinning calmly: "Jinning, the teacher suddenly wanted to go out. When he was young, the teacher liked to live a life of flamboyance, fresh clothes and angry horses. Although after more than ten years of polishing, I don't know I will act like that again, but I don’t like the semi-reclusive life of the stagnant water in my bones. After a while, I will go to Beijing. If I have the opportunity, I will stay in the capital, or go to study and give lectures, or work in other places. came back."
