Chapter 28 Luo Yan's Appreciation Ceremony
Just when Luo Yan was ready for everything, rumors spread in Chang'an City that Assistant Teacher Lu, who hadn't accepted students for many years, was going to accept closed students for the first time in a few days.

Of course, Lu Deming didn't say that he was a closed disciple, but people can't stop guessing.

How old is Old Master Lu? More than 70.Although people who want to be Master Lu's disciples can line up five or six times around Chang'an City, Master Lu has not let go of his mouth for many years.Students who can barely teach Guozixue are already good, but now they actually say that they want to accept a disciple?
Then came the question.Whose child does Old Master Lu want to accept as his disciple?
That's the point.With Master Lu's prestige among scholars, if anyone's child can become the disciple of Old Master Lu, then this family can at least be upgraded to a scholarly family, among other things.However, Master Lu kept his mouth shut, and until now he has not disclosed any news related to accepting disciples.

There were one or two people in the Secretary's Department who knew about it, but these people naturally wouldn't cause trouble, so when Luo Yan was in Chang'an City, he was able to stay leisurely in the Secretary's Department.

How many days can there be in a ten-day period?When Luo Yan finishes the task and prepares the bundle repair and the teacher apprenticeship card, the day of the teacher apprenticeship ceremony will come.

Before dawn, Luo Yan got up to take a shower and change clothes.In order to be more energetic on this special day, Luo Yan also took a day off and wandered around many tailor shops, found a light blue long gown, and bought a silk ribbon of the same color as a belt.After bathing and changing clothes, it's not over, at least I have to check the clothes of the whole person.

The gate of Kaihuafang opened very early, Luo Yan ate something hastily, and rushed to Lu's residence with Shu Xiu and the teacher's invitation.

This was the second time to come to Lu Deming's house, and he was a little nervous standing at the door.It is estimated that this is the so-called "today is different from the past".Shaking his head and taking a few deep breaths, Luo Yan calmed down and knocked on the door.

This time the concierge finally didn't need to report. He opened the door and saw Luo Yan, with a smile all over his face: "It's Luo Xianggong, please come in quickly, the master has already ordered that from now on, you don't need to notify when you come, just go in Yes. The master just had morning tea and is waiting for Mr. Luo in the study."

Luo Yan was also touched for a while, Old Master Lu really cares about accepting himself as a disciple, and he doesn't know what's good about him.

After entering the door, Luo Yan saluted Lu Deming very respectfully, and then said: "I haven't seen you in ten days, the teacher has shown his power in the Guozi Academy, and the boy knows it in the Secretary Department."

"Haha, you have to know that it's not that simple for you to become famous. The old man won't let those naughty little monkeys suffer a little. How can Chang'an City be as lively as it is now. However, you will have trouble in the future." Eat it. Ever since I said that I didn’t write those three articles, those little monkeys from the military family are clamoring to find the culprit and make him look good.”

"Teacher, is it really okay for you to bully students like this? I really can't stand the three punches and two kicks of those guys with my small body. At that time, you finally accepted a disciple and was beaten disabled. You will not be able to face it." Let's go." Hearing Lu Deming's words, Luo Yan felt so bitter.Whenever the two attributes of the second generation of the official and the bear child are superimposed, the destructive power produced is astonishing.Thinking of being dragged into an alley and being beaten and kicked, Luo Yan's back felt chilly, and he hurriedly asked his teacher for help.

Old Master Lu replied angrily: "There is a teacher here, what are you afraid of. Use your brains, when will we wait for literati to be compared to martial arts in peace."

Luo Yan secretly complained, you are not afraid because no one dares to touch a great Confucian like you, I am just a pawn, and it is not easy for those second-generation brats to play with me.

Seeing Luo Yan's mournful face, Lu Deming also said helplessly: "I'm just going to scare you. Today, I accept you as a disciple. It's too late for those monkeys to curry favor with you. How could they give you a good look? I want to know how you write The Mount Tai collapsed in front of me and the color has not changed. When this apprenticeship ceremony is over, copy your manuscripts a hundred times, and practice your Qi-nourishing Kung Fu."

Now Luo Yan is completely sad, a hundred times, how many days it takes to copy this, it is really enough to nourish one's spirit.But unable to resist, Luo Yan had no choice but to answer yes.

The apprenticeship ceremony began at the beginning of Chenshi, and the deacon was an old man Luo Yan didn't know.

As a Confucian student, he naturally respects Confucius, so the first thing in the ceremony of worshiping a teacher is to salute the statue of Confucius.The apprenticeship ceremony was held in Lu Deming's study, and the statue of Confucius was actually temporarily used from another place.At this time, Confucius was not worshiped like a god.

After paying homage to Confucius, the second item is for the disciple to salute the teacher.

For Luo Yan, who had never experienced the apprenticeship ceremony, he felt more curious.Anyway, the deacon can do what he says, and Luo Yan doesn't need to think too much.The rest of the mind is all used to observe.

Apart from a few people from Prince Qin's Mansion who came to watch the ceremony today, there are only two people who don't know this deacon himself.After thinking about it, he is not some unknown person.I can only wait until the apprenticeship ceremony is over, and Master Lu will introduce it.

Since Luo Yanzi was an orphan, Kong Yingda read out the invitation letter for the third item on behalf of Luo Yan's parents.All the people present were listening to this.The content written in the apprenticeship post indirectly reflects the author's level and intention.Fortunately, Luo Yan discussed this with Mr. Zhao for two or three days. Naturally, what he wrote made all the people present nod their heads.

Then there are two links: the disciples offering tea and the teacher presenting tokens.

In fact, this apprenticeship ceremony is a procedure, so the two links of offering tea and presenting tokens are very fast.

What is worth mentioning is the token presented by Mr. Lu.

It was a copy of "The Analects" that he had annotated.As the only book in the Nine Classics that records Confucius' words and deeds, Lu Deming's intention to give it to Luo Yan is also obvious, that is, to let Luo Yan remember his own words and continue to learn for the sake of the past.This was said by Lu Deming in front of many spectators when he was presenting the token. Naturally, Luo Yan didn't need to think about the meaning of it, as long as he did it.

The apprenticeship ceremony ended with the deacon's "Li Cheng".

Afterwards, Old Master Lu Deming began to introduce three people he didn't know to Luo Yan.

The deacon is Yu Shinan.Luo Yan wanted to faint with some happiness, who is Yu Shinan?A great calligrapher in the early Tang Dynasty, 24 heroes of Lingyan Pavilion.However, it stands to reason that Yu Shinan had already joined Prince Qin's mansion at this time, why didn't he see him some time ago.

As if seeing through Luo Yan's question, Lu Deming said with a smile: "Yu Jishi is naturally quiet and ascetic, it's not that we like to be lively. If I hadn't taken in students today, I'm afraid he would have stayed in his study."

Lu Deming's explanation did not arouse Yu Shinan's disgust, but he smiled in agreement: "Brother Lu knows me. I have also read Luo Xiaoyou's article. Brother Lu can accept Luo Xiaoyou as a disciple, which is also a good fortune."

Lu Deming rolled his eyes when he said this: "I still took advantage of co-authoring."

Yu Shinan didn't reply, just kept laughing.

Afterwards, Lu Deming pulled Luo Yan to the two strangers who were watching the ceremony: "This is Yan Shigu, who is now a member of Zhongshushe. If it wasn't for today's rest, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to invite him because of my face. And this Gao Shilian, the uncle of Princess Changsun. A few days ago, he voted for the Jiaozhi prefect and was appointed by His Majesty as the governor of Yongzhou."

Luo Yan also checked who Yan Shigu was through the "Book of Tang" in his mind, so he was very respectful to him.As for Gao Shilian, this is amazing, Luo Yan doesn't need to read a book to know him.Since he voted in Tang Dynasty, he was sent to Yongzhou, which is Li Shimin's territory.This shows how much Li Shimin trusts this man.So I hurried to see a gift.

After the apprenticeship ceremony, a banquet is naturally indispensable.But everyone didn't need to go to the restaurant outside, Old Master Lu had already prepared a family banquet.

After the food was served, they simply ate a little, and everyone started discussing Luo Yan's article.Except for Yan Shigu who didn't explicitly turn to Li Shimin, everyone else here is Li Shimin's team.Of the eighteen bachelors, seven of them came at once today.

It was Yan Shigu who first mentioned Luo Yan's article.

As a member of Zhongshushe, he was responsible for important edicts such as military affairs and government affairs, so naturally he spent a lot of time with Li Yuan every day.During the meeting, when Li Yuan was full of praise for the three articles that Lu Deming presented, Lu Deming proudly said to Yan Shigu: "Many people are asking if I wrote those articles, and I have repeatedly stated that I did not write them." Yes. The author is sitting at the banquet today, so why not guess who it is?"

Now Master Yan came and scanned the crowd with interest, and finally fixed his eyes on Brother Gai.

Although Yu Zhining and Li Xuandao were the most likely, but because of Lu Deming's trickery, it was naturally impossible.If Kong Yingda wrote the rest by himself, why should Lu Deming do it.As for Yu Shinan and Gao Shilian, one of these two characters is not the kind that can make a lot of noise, and the other has only been in Chang'an for a few days, so the time is not right.As for Luo Yan, Yan Shigu didn't think about it at all.

Then the Gai brothers are left.These two people are great Confucians, and they are also well-read. In the past two years, they have followed the King of Qin and gained a lot of knowledge. I am afraid that they are one of the two brothers.

Seeing Yan Shigu cast his eyes on himself, the Gai brothers smiled wryly, and then they took the initiative to say: "If you say that my two brothers wrote it, then you will really lose. My brothers also want to write, but they can't." Come out. Thinking about how many years I have been studying, I can only say that I am lucky to read such an article, but I don’t even feel jealous.”

Everyone laughed loudly: "If you say such things when you are young, then the rest of us will be ashamed to death."

The laughter made Yan Shigu cast his eyes on the most unlikely person, and then asked Lu Deming in the blink of an eye.

Looking at Lu Deming, he smiled smugly.Yan Shigu was stunned, it was actually true.
