Upstairs and downstairs, it is already a piece of Wuyangyang.

When everyone heard this, whether it was related or unrelated, they all became solemn.

As the so-called "Heaven and Earth King's parents and teachers".

Teachers, so preaching is also a matter of karma and dispelling doubts. Whether it is reading or practicing martial arts, there must be a "teaching". The role of a good gentleman and a good master does not have to be low for parents. Therefore, there is a saying that "one day is a teacher, life is a father".

It can be seen how heavy the apprenticeship ceremony is.

There are three paragraphs before and after this ceremony.

The first paragraph is for the gentlemen to offer incense to the sages; the second paragraph is for the students to pay their respects to the teacher and hand them a letter of worship. Give a student a gift or a motto, and from then on the student will perform the teacher's ritual to honor the teacher.

Ji Zhiyin and others are familiar with etiquette.

As soon as the hour came, they were already waiting on the side, whether it was hair or clothing, they were all neat and tidy, and they couldn't find anything that was inappropriate.

Gu Juefei also had a purifying attitude.

He was young and had an extraordinary temperament.

Such a clean-up fight before the Xiangxiang case, when bowing down and bowing, the graceful demeanor is not reduced by half, but it makes people feel more mature and stable.

With Meng Ji's "visit to the sages", the eyes of many ladies and maids on the second floor were all glued to Gu Juefei.

Many people remembered the admiration for him when the girl was pregnant with Chun.

Just this figure, was the dream of many ladies in the capital?

It's just that most of them are now mothers, married to men they like or dislike, who may or may not be satisfied, but Gu Juefei hasn't married yet.

For a time, many people showed a little nostalgia or loneliness on their faces.

Only Lu Jinxi, because he knew Gu Juefei very late, and he had only "frivolous" this noble son who was rumored to be unfamiliar with women, felt really light in his heart.

What she cares more about at the moment is actually Xue Chi.

Just now when she was chatting with Princess Yongning, Egret Qingque had already returned and found out about the situation. It's just that Xue Chi is still thinking about things in the inner hall, and he hasn't come out yet, and he has nothing to do.

Xue Chi is so young, with a small head, what can he think about?

Lu Jinxi was really curious.

It's just that Xue Chi was in the hall, and Yuewei Museum didn't seem to have any intention of forcing him to come out, so she didn't ask anyone to ask Xue Chi to come out.

But now, it is time to start apprenticeship, and there is still no one at the entrance of the inner hall.

Those with sharp eyes have already discovered something wrong now.

After the gentlemen have worshiped the statues of saints and sages, it is the students who have worshipped the gentlemen. Because everyone worships a different gentleman, they all come one by one.

But no matter how they counted, they found that there were only four people standing in that place, all of whom were young talents.

Didn't it say that there were five people recorded in total?

How come there are only four?

"Who is the fifth?"

"Why haven't you seen anyone?"

These people were all puzzled and asked each other, but no one knew the reason. Only at the end did they say: "No hurry, you should know when the time comes?"

The four people in front were naturally Zhou Chun, Wang Huai, Zhuang Keqin, and Shi Yizhi.

The fourth Shi Yizhi brought the tea with both hands to the serious-faced Elder He. After Elder He took a sip, Meng Ji next to him announced "the ceremony is complete".

So Shi Yizhi stood up in the eyes of everyone's envy, bowed again, and was then led by the book boys to wait below.

"Finally the last one."

"Who will it be?"

"Eldest Master Gu hasn't accepted the students, neither has Mr. Ji. You said, who will accept this student in the end?"

"There must have been Mr. Confiscated."

...

Some whispers began to sound in the reading room.

Although Meng Ji stood far away, he heard it.

He was in charge of presiding over the apprenticeship ceremony, and now he looked around vaguely. The little ancestor of the Xue family hadn't seen anyone yet, which made him embarrassed for a while.

If it was announced in a while, and no one came to apprentice, wouldn't it be shame for Gu Juefei and Ji Lao?

Gu Juefei is nothing to be ashamed of, he is very happy.

But if it was Mr. Ji who was embarrassed, Meng Ji felt that he needed to think about it.

At this moment, he involuntarily looked at Gu Juefei, who was sitting on the rightmost Taishi chair, and gave him an inquiring look.

Gu Juefei sat upright, obviously the students hadn't come out yet, and he didn't know whether he thought about it or not, but he was calm, as if he wasn't worried at all.

The curvature of the lips has not changed, and there is a vague sense of confidence, only slightly nodded.

Meng Ji immediately understood, although he felt that Gu Juefei's risk was very likely to smash his signboard, but he had to do it.

Amidst the growing voice of discussion, he spoke calmly and raised his voice slightly.

"The fifth place, Xue Chi. It will be elected by Mr. Ji and Mr. Gu at the same time."

"So, Young Master Xue, please pay respects to the two gentlemen."

"what?"

"Am I right?"

"Are you talking about the little overlord of the Xue family?"

"The one at the General's Mansion?"

"Where is it, why didn't I see it?"

...

When Meng Ji's last two sentences came out, there was a wave in the Yuewei Pavilion. The high-ranking officials and nobles in Beijing are also these people, how could they have not heard the name of Xue Chi?

At this time, couldn't believe it.

That child is only five or six years old, how can he be favored by two gentlemen, Gu Juefei and Ji Zhiyin at the same time!

two!

It's not the white radish from the vegetable market. want as much as want - this is a great scholar who is willing to be his master!

What about Xue Chi?

What about people?

Everyone spontaneously searched for it.

But the strange thing is that didn't see anyone coming up. The surroundings are crowded and crowded, and even people can't see clearly, where can find a five-year-old child?

There is no one?

The discussion suddenly grew louder.

Lu Jinxi was sitting beside Princess Yongning, her brows furrowed secretly at this moment.

Others didn't know why Xue Chi didn't show up, but she could guess one or two. This kid didn't want to worship Gu Juefei as a teacher, and he didn't want to be disciplined by multiple teachers, so it was normal not to come out to worship.

Poor Gu Juefei, he was going to be disappointed and miscalculated after all.

As she thought in her heart, Meng Ji, who was standing in the hall, had already raised her voice and shouted twice: "Please come to pay respect to Master Xue!"

But still no one came out.

The situation immediately became embarrassing. Even the other great Confucians on the Grand Master's chair couldn't help but cast doubtful glances at Ji Zhiyin and Gu Juefei.

There was a faint trace of regret on Ji Zhiyin's face, but Gu Juefei still had a smile on his face and didn't speak.

Meng Ji waited for a while, but he had seen the big scene, and then he smiled: "It seems that Xue Xiaogong is not there, or he doesn't want to. Since that's the case, let's do it—"

"Wait a minute!"

A young voice suddenly came from the direction of the inner hall behind, interrupting his words.

The word "stop" jumped to the tip of the tongue, and this time, it was finally retracted without any risk.

Meng Ji felt relieved when he heard the voice, and hurriedly looked back.

A low figure had already run out of the inner hall.

Probably because he was running in a hurry, he almost stumbled under his feet, his small chest was heaving, his cheeks were a little red, and his breathing was short, as if he had made an important decision.
