Reborn Cultural Empire

"Go and open the door." Ji Tangdan glared at Yang Yi, wondering if he had gone too far today, and he had always suspected that the kid who took the exam had made him look like a soldier.In the past, if someone knocked on the door, he would open the door to welcome guests, so why would he be so dumb as he is now.

Cough cough, Yang Yi really couldn't be more guilty at this time, that's why he acted cautiously, would he just talk nonsense.

But since the old man started to order him, shouldn't he hurry up and show his courtesy?He rushed to the living room and opened the door.

Outside was a man in his 30s. Before he could speak, a slightly frustrated literati breath came over his face.But generally speaking, he is still very good-favorable. His eyes are bright and his face is gentle. He seems to be a generous person who is not difficult to get along with.

"Uh..." The man at the door was obviously surprised when he saw Yang Yi, and subconsciously raised his head to look at the house number, then turned his head and smiled at Yang Yi: "Hello, little classmate, I'm looking for Teacher Ji, is he there?" .”

Yang Yixin thought that this should be a latecomer in the circle, and when the old man came to ask for advice, he smiled and nodded: "Yes, please come in."

When the two entered the room, Yang Yi noticed that the man's hands were still holding some objects. Although they were tightly wrapped in ink flower pine paper, judging from the boxy shape, the seal and inkstone could not be escaped. different.

Entering the room, the old man was holding Yang Yi's manuscript and reading it, still looking funny but unwilling to release the manuscript.After seeing the man behind Yang Yi, he loosened his wrinkled gray eyebrows: "Well, it's Xiao Wu, why do you have time to visit the old man's house?"

"The teacher was joking..."

"Hey, stop!" Before the man could explain why he came, Ji Tangdan waved his hands again and again: "I have said repeatedly before that I dare not be your teacher. Drink tea and talk about tea, or talk about Zen." Dao, the old man is welcome. As for the teacher, I can't do it, I can't do it."

Hearing this, the man's original modest and gentle smile didn't change at all.After shaking his head helplessly, he said with a wry smile: "Elder Ji said so, as a junior, I can only be obedient."

Then he held out the gift respectfully: "I know Mr. Ji is good at making seals. Here is a piece of good material from a friend. The old man knows my three-legged cat's work. In order not to waste it, I had to take it here."

"That's all right, all right, there's no point in pretending to be modest." Ji Tangdan snorted twice, and without looking at the seal material wrapped in bamboo paper, he pushed the thing back directly: "You have something to say. Do you still remember that when I come here, I can only come here empty-handed! Anyone who has brought something, please don’t come in.”

The two of them came and went, but Yang Yi found out some ways. Although Ji Tangdan seldom accepted gifts from others, he never let go of the tributes from the juniors as he is now.On the contrary, the old man will pile up and comment on the things presented by his disciples during the New Years and holidays. If someone's gift is not very satisfactory to the old man, he may even sneer at it, which is very old. respect.

Now facing his favorite seal stone, he blocked the door without even looking at it. It seemed that he didn't like the person in front of him very much.

"Grandpa, you..." The man shook his head and didn't know what to say, but he just didn't take the stone back.Seeing that Ji Tangdan still tilted his head and ignored it, he did not give up and handed over another stack of things, which seemed to be a manuscript: "See if this works, I know that I want you to give pointers to the article, that's a big deal I don't dare to ask for it in vain, this material is just a flattery to your old man..."

Ji Tangdan didn't even raise his head, his eyes still fell on Yang Yi's manuscript: "Hehe, I don't dare to be that! I'm a bad old man, and I'm not a virtuous monk, how dare I accept personnel."

It turned out that they were also people who wanted to ask the old man for pointers. Yang Yi had encountered such a visitor no less than four or five times when he was in Ji's family class, so he didn't think it was unusual.

But the only thing he couldn't figure out was that since it was someone he didn't like, he just hit him.You still go to each other with so much thought, it really makes Yang Da feel entangled.Since he couldn't figure out the situation, he could only sit aside in a proper manner.

This man felt like a dog biting a hedgehog for a while, and he didn't accept gifts for Ji Tangdan. He asked the old man to comment on the article, and he pushed it back with a single cloud of hands.After he smiled self-deprecatingly, he saw Yang Yi next to him, frowned, and asked with a smile: "This little friend, I've never seen him before, is he the grandson of Elder Ji?"

Yang Yi quickly stood up, before he could speak, the old man next to him said calmly: "How can I have such a blessing, this little thing is my little apprentice, a closed disciple."

Being robbed of his lines, Yang Yi was also helpless. Ever since this man came in, Ji Tangdan seemed to be a different person, and there was a sense of targeting everywhere.But what makes the reborn man even more puzzled is that this man also has the temper of a good man, allowing Ji Tang to kill him, but he just insists on not leaving.

Hearing what Ji Tangdan said, there was a hint of surprise in this person's eyes for the first time, probably because he couldn't hide his inner thoughts.After looking at Yang Yi for a few times, he smiled and said with emotion: "If you can become Ji Lao's closed disciple at such a young age, then I think this little brother has a bright future. Unlike me, I have worked so hard to seek a teacher but I can't get one." .”

Yang Yi was not easy to answer, so he smiled and dealt with it.When the man showed a look of surprise, he was a little unnaturally awkward, probably because he had doubts about Yang Yi's youth, or to be precise, he was young.

However, this person is also a character who is very good at mobilizing the scene. Seeing that Ji Tangdan is not concerned about his own affairs at all, he said that this little disciple seemed to have something to say, so he followed the old man's words: "Mr. Ji, there are so many people out there who are like me, crying and wanting to worship under the door. You have high vision, and you can't see any of them. But this little classmate, why did you fall into your old eyes? What's the matter?" He also told us about his amazing talent."

From this sentence, it can be heard that this person is somewhat appreciative of the fact that Ji Tangdan doesn't follow his style at all, but accepts a brat as a closed disciple.Presumably he was conceited and had some talent, but it didn't work at all with Ji Tangdan, so he couldn't help wanting to see what Yang Yi was relying on.

"Huh? Why, you are still not convinced by this tone." Ji Tangdan rolled his eyes, and was a little unhappy that this person questioned his vision: "If I show evidence that makes you feel inferior, So what?"

Although the self-cultivation is very good, but speaking of old children, old children, seeing someone doubting his closed disciple is as unacceptable as slapping him in the face.On the contrary, if someone directly disrespected him, maybe Ji Tangdan's reaction might not be so violent.

Yang has not figured out the relationship between this person and Ji Tangdan until now. He said that he is an elder and a junior who have a little friendship in the circle, so this old man doesn't like to directly bombard people.

It can be said that there is any affection, so what's the matter with this tone that sounds neither salty nor indifferent but actually rejects people for thousands of miles?

Yang Yi shook his head, too lazy to think about it.And just now the old man questioned him back and forth, and now he is showing him like a baby, this is really...

"Elder Ji's disciple, I must be ashamed of myself." The man knew how to be humble in front of the senior, and he didn't compete with Ji Tangdan in the open.But since the other party has thrown such a good step, he has no reason not to take the opportunity to build a relationship. There is no gap from Ji Tangdan, and it is good to get to know his students.

"But since Mr. Ji has spoken, it's not good if I don't say anything." After pondering for a while, the man seemed to be very embarrassed and smiled: "Well, if Mr. Ji said no to the material of this seal, it must be I won’t accept it. But it’s really a waste to put the things here with me, so why don’t you pass them on to Ji Lao’s disciples.”

It is absolutely insincere and rude for others to give one gift and two gifts.But Ji Tangdan himself didn't care much about this material, or he didn't care much about this man, so it was up to him to do what this man wanted to do.

On the contrary, Yang Yi felt that the old man didn't want to see people, and they were not easy to get along with, so it was better not to provoke him in his spare time.Just believe half of what this person says—although he hasn't found anything disgusting about this person until now.On the contrary, the feeling is really good.

But I didn't expect that Ji Tangdan didn't object either, he actually seemed to acquiesce, and then raised his eyebrows at this person: "What else did you write, show me."

Obviously, Ji Tangdan's words are not very pleasant to listen to. Under normal circumstances, no one wants to be called "things" for the articles they have written so hard.The old man was also from a writing background, so he would definitely not be ignorant of such a taboo, but he still said it outright, which shows that he really doesn't like the visitor very much.

The man didn't pay too much attention to this, and hurriedly handed over the manuscript.

After Ji Tangdan got it, he didn't deliberately play it off because of his subjective opinion about this person. Instead, he picked up his reading glasses and began to read carefully.

Only then did Yang Yi have the opportunity to look at the man a few times. The moment his eyes met, he keenly grasped some unclear expressions in this man's eyes. It wasn't hostile or guarded, but rather interested.

How could such a person make Ji Tangdan so unwelcoming.

After a long while, Ji Tangdan raised his head. He only saw the third page and gave up, not going any further.

The man was still waiting respectfully for Ji Tangdan's comment, he didn't see any nervousness, he was very calm.

When commenting on the article, the voice of the old man no longer had the slight sneer before, but Zhongzheng said peacefully: "This article, you mentioned it last time, said that it was conceived since last year, and it took more than a year to complete. new work?"

"Yes, I also ask the teacher to criticize and correct me a lot."

Ji Tangdan sighed: "I remember it was in the spring of 92? When you came here with Lao Wu, I told him that there are some things that are useless by individual efforts alone. Futile, the word futile You know what? What do you mean?"

Although he didn't say it clearly, the hidden meaning in the old man's words still made the man's heart sink, and he forced a smile: "Mr. It's not surprising that you can't see it if it's a little thing."

"Okay, stop! I'm not a writer. I can't read your manuscript because I'm prejudiced. Speaking of which, among the five or six of us old guys, if there is a serious grandson Old Wu is alone. His descendants, if we can take care of them, will we take care of them? As I said just now, there are some things that depend on talent, what's the use of hard work without talent?"

Yang Yi knew that what the old man said was not true. If this man was treated so coldly just because he had no talent for writing and Ji Tangdan was too much trouble for him, it would be unjustifiable at all.

The juniors who stayed behind from the old age, as long as they have some abilities, they will definitely take care of them.

But this is the old man's private matter, and it's not easy for him as a student to ask.

Over there, Ji Tangdan saw that the man was hesitant to speak, but he didn't express anything else, so he sighed and handed over another stack of manuscript paper beside him: "Come on, although writing is a job that depends on talent, but you have never It was typed out from the pile, and it has the basic ability to distinguish. Take a look at this manuscript, and how do you feel after reading it. "

The man opened his eyes wide in surprise, and took the manuscript from Ji Tangdan.

What does this mean? Even if the manuscript is better than his, it is nothing more than a normal thing.Besides, Wen Wu No. [-], he believed that although his articles did not catch Ji Tangdan's eyes, they would never be compared to other people's articles at once.

Familiar with the Three Hundred Poems of the Tang Dynasty, he can recite poems even if he can't write them. He has been hanging around in old papers since he was a teenager.If there is such an article, it must at least be at the level of the Mao Dun Literature Award!

He hadn't heard of anyone in the Yuezhou circle who could have such talent and writing skills.

So after taking it over, the man was also careless at first.Although there was no expression on his face, the hands holding the manuscript were very casual, not as cherished as he was holding his own.

But after reading two or three lines, he realized the extraordinaryness of this manuscript.As the old saying goes, a person who has been rolling in the pile of articles for a long time, no matter what his own ability is, definitely has the minimum ability to appreciate and discriminate.After looking at it for a while, this person immediately realized that Yuezhou, which has always been a place full of literary talents, finally produced splendid articles that can match its aura of heaven and earth.

Of course, the main credit must be attributed to the war-torn Afghan writer who has been displaced for half his life.If it weren't for his rich and soul-stirring experience, which forged the extraordinary quality of his articles, it wouldn't be Yang Yi's shameless impostor here.

Of course, even without Rahimi, Yang Yi could still harm others.

Who thought it would be easy to change the look of an article, try it yourself!Someone is quite confident now. Although the biggest highlight in this article is the heroine’s psychological activities and her suffering that has been accumulated for most of her life but has no place to talk about it, the inherent secrets of Islamic society and the differences brought about by different beliefs The explanation of the values ​​of the country, as well as the details of daily life, are all corresponding to the description of the history of the Republic of China.

Even if he just checked the information, Yang Yi felt that he was not ashamed of this book.

After changing things related to the times and the environment, the spiritual core that leaves people moving remains unchanged. Because of the oppression and suffering suffered by Afghan women in their country, Chinese women in another time and space can empathize with them.Some things, such as the pursuit of truth, goodness and beauty, the desire for human freedom, the criticism of cruel war and system injustice, all of these can be extended to the artistic conception of the full text.

So looking at it, the man's pupils also involuntarily widened, and his face sometimes shook his head sadly with emotion, obviously sinking into the content depicted in the text.

When this person finished reading more than [-] characters, he couldn't help closing the book and sighing again and again: "That's good, that's good! Mr. Ji, you just didn't admit that you are a master of articles, so what are you going to say now!"

Obviously, although this person must have some flaws that have been criticized by others, so that Ji Tangdan is very indifferent to him, but under the great lethality of good articles, he also reveals his literati temperament.After seeing the exquisite words, his face flushed as if he was drunk.

But it is undeniable that some of this excitement was deliberately done to flatter Ji Tangdan.

"How do you know it was written by me?" Ji Tangdan saw that his disciple's article was recognized and liked, and he was very proud of himself.Although the doubts about Yang Yi still could not be completely dispelled, but at the moment he shook his head rather reservedly: "I don't dare to be greedy for merit, I didn't write this manuscript."

The man shook his head with a smile on his face: "Mr. Ji, don't make fun of a junior! Writing articles about the Republic of China can make people read it as if they had heard and seen it. Without personal experience, I don't have your famous skills to put it here. I really can't get it out."

After hearing this, Ji Tangdan glanced at Yang Yi again, and felt that the manuscript he had worked out would always make people's hearts restless and flustered.

But now it is clearly not the time to pursue this issue, Ji Tangdan has secretly decided that this novel and the rest of the content of Yang Yi must be completed under his supervision, otherwise he will never believe him.

After making up his mind, Ji Tangdan smiled slightly, and raised his chin at Yang Yi: "This manuscript was written by my little apprentice, how about it, can you still read it?"

These words were like thunder, which made the man stunned for a long time.After he came back to his senses, he forced a smile and shook his head repeatedly at Ji Tangdan: "Just now you said don't make fun of us juniors, and you will become more energetic."

Ji Tangdan straightened his face immediately: "I don't like to hear your words. Why, do you think my students can't write such good articles because they don't have this level?"

The aggressive questioning made the man speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say.
