Reborn Farmhouse's Small Restaurant [Wears Book]

Chapter 96

Du Qingchen held a big banquet at home to congratulate the three of Du Rulin. Tao Xiude and Xia's father and son also prepared gifts. Tao Xiude's gift was naturally expensive, but Master Xia was different from others, but brought four copies. My own annotations were given to the four Du Rulins respectively. The value of the four books is not much different, and they can be said to be treated equally.

Qiu Jin didn't expect to receive gifts himself. The neighbors who came and went to congratulate each other, the guests invited by the Du family, all brought gifts to the three people who passed the test, but no one ever thought of him.

Qiu Jin bent over to take it, her nose was sore, she couldn't help but raised her sleeves and wiped her tears.

Master Xia didn't seem to see Qiu Jin's body trembling slightly, and he didn't dare to look up at anyone. He smiled and said, "I have a teaching friendship with the four of you, and I can be regarded as half of your teachers. Now that your exams are over, I will I don't have anything good to give you, only a few books that I read in my spare time and occasionally annotate are also my heart."

"Thank you, Master." Several people answered solemnly.

"Qiu Jin." Master Xia's eyes fell on Qiu Jin, who was still crying and didn't dare to raise his head for fear of being laughed at.

"Master, I'm here." Qiu Jin immediately raised his head, revealing his rubbed red eyes.

Master Xia was gentle and elegant, with a smile on his face, "One failure is nothing, I was only 30 years old when I was admitted to the Xiucai exam, but the next year I was awarded the Juren, and four years later I became a jinshi and an official in the court. Your chance , or in the future."

"Master... woo woo..."

"You are pure and simple, and you have a little talent for reading, but you have passed the exam in just a few years, enough to look down on most students, you don't need to feel inferior, let alone Compare with others."

"Yes... Master..." Master

Xia nodded and turned to Du Rulin, "You did well in the test."

"Master Xie." Du Rulin replied excitedly, his eyes could not help but glance at the slender and gentle brother standing behind Master Xia.

"You too." Master Xia said to Qiu You and Liu Tai.

"Thank you, Master." Liu Tai and You Qiu also bowed to answer, and they were each happy. Although Master Xia didn't say much to them, they respected Master Xia very much. Whether Master Xia was in terms of character and talent, he was always the best. worthy of their admiration. Just like now, others didn't care about Qiu Jin who fell off the list at all, only Master Xia would comfort him carefully, and even brought his own annotations as a gift to the four of them.

Du Qingchen stepped forward with a smile and said respectfully, "Master Xia, please take a seat!" Master Xia

nodded and led his son into the seat. Next to him was Master Liu. The two smiled at each other, bowed their hands, and said hello. .

Seeing this scene, Tao Xiude felt a little embarrassed. He only brought three gifts. Who would have thought that he should bring another one for Qiu Jin? In other words, he has always been familiar with this young man, and has never been in his heart, who is this person! He doesn't know.

Tao Xiude didn't think much about it. What he brought was an example, only Master Xia, and most of those who didn't bring it. Actually, there was nothing to be embarrassed about. Tao Xiude continued to talk to Su Junxia with a smile.

Xia Zijin is the elder brother of Master Xia's family. Because he is elder brother, the seat is arranged next to Su Dong. Su Dong is about to give birth now. Although he can't eat any wine or meat, he has to come out and sit for a while on such a happy day. of. Su Dong looked at Xia Zijin and felt that his face was very kind. Xia Zijin was gentle and steady, similar to his father. Su Dong liked him very much at a glance.

Xia Zijin looked back at Su Dong, smiled gently, and nodded as a greeting, after all, he didn't know each other either.

Seeing that Xia Zijin greeted him, Su Dong couldn't help but say, "My name is Su Dong, and I am Du Qingchen's husband."

"My name is Xia Zijin, and I came with my father." Xia Zijin turned to look at the position of Master Xia not far away, and showed his identity.

"I know, I would like to thank you for Rulin!" Su Dong said.

Xia Zijin lowered his head slightly, and didn't answer for a long time. He just secretly raised his eyes and looked at Du Rulin, who was sitting opposite. As a result, he met Du Rulin's line of sight, and he turned his head quickly. Du Rulin was staring nervously here!

What is his sister-in-law telling him? Does sister-in-law like Xia Zijin? ! what! I'd love to hear it! It's a pity that everyone at this table is chatting, and he is far away from Xia Zijin, so he can't hear the noise at all! Du Rulin was a little anxious, but he held back.

Du Qingchen transferred a few guys from the restaurant to help. The yard was very lively, and the banquets at his house were all his family and friends, and he didn't need to pay special attention to etiquette. This is why Du Qingchen was reluctant to post to invite Min Anshi. If there is one more of him, the way the banquet will be set up will have to be changed, so it can't be so random.

Master Liu and Master Xia knew each other quite a bit. The two had heard of each other from several students, but this was the first time they had met. After a few chats, Master Liu realized, um, this is a Someone who is similar in temperament to him.

Of course, Master Xia doesn't think so. Although he admires Master Liu's character of hating evil and hating, he considers himself to be more slick, and there are not so many things that he dislikes. Although he is slightly similar to Master Liu in temperament, he Actually a very lazy and gentle person.

Master Xia cooperated, and Master Liu consciously met a confidant. The more they talked, the more opportunistic they became. Master Liu even called his son and said, "This is my son Liu Tai. These days, please take care of you."

Master Xia knew it naturally . Liu Tai, but he also knew that it was Master Liu who regarded him as a friend, so he would introduce him again solemnly. Introducing his own children among friends is also a kind of recognition. Master Xia also called Xia Zijin over and said, "My brother, Xia Zijin."

Master Liu looked at Xia Zijin, Xia Zijin had already bowed and saluted, Liu Tai also returned the salute, Master Liu turned his eyes back to his son, and sighed, "Wenrun and elegant, with extraordinary bearing, if my boy has your family My brother has a three-point tolerance, I can wake up with a smile even when I sleep."

Master Xia's smile became wider, and he waved his hand humbly: "Liu Tai is quite poetic, but I hope my son Jin has a three-point understanding of him. !" The

two of them looked at each other and smiled, very happy.

Liu Tai stood there speechless and looked at Xia Zijin, who suddenly stuck out his tongue at him, and returned to normal in an instant, bowing his head with a reserved and warm smile.

Ouch I'm going! Liu Tai's eyes widened, and he remembered the shame of having his head touched. Xia Zijin regarded him as a child because he was taller than him! !

Liu Tai coughed lightly and interrupted, "Father, Master, Ru Lin and Qiu You just said that they wanted to come over to toast Master, as a token of thanks!"

Hmph, called Du Rulin over to see if Xia Zijin would dare Now, don't think he doesn't know, Xia Zijin is very well-behaved when he sees Du Rulin, and even blushed and shy.

"That's it!" Master Liu had no doubts, and called You Qiu and Du Rulin to come over.

When did he say he wanted to toast Master Xia now? They obviously wanted to wait for the two masters to finish their chat. You Qiu's seat was not far away, so they could hear it clearly, but when they heard the words, they could only bring a glass of wine over, and Du Rulin followed closely.

Du Rulin, Qiu Friends and Liu Tai took the wine glasses and solemnly expressed their thanks to Master Xia and Master Liu. After everyone drank, they stood honestly. Du Rulin also stood opposite Xia Zijin. This time Xia Zijin was honest, and he was unmoved even if Liu Tai secretly made faces at him.

"Good! Good!" Master Liu put down his glass, very happy, and said to Master Xia, "How are my disciples?"

Master Xia was naturally happy. Hearing this, he raised his eyebrows, "Isn't that my disciple?"

"You only taught them for a few days. I am their teacher." Master Liu said proudly, a little drunk. .

"What about being a teacher? A teacher with a single word is also a teacher." Master Xia said with a smile.

Du Qingchen was not far away. Hearing the words, his expression changed slightly, he turned his head and said to the two masters: "Both of them are naturally their teachers, Master Xia taught me so carefully, and naturally he is also a teacher, since there are already masters and students. Friendship, it's better to add joy to happiness today, take it seriously, how about Master Xia accepting these disciples?"

Du Qingchen smiled, as if joking.

On weekdays, he often heard a few teenagers mention Master Xia. He admired and worshipped Master Xia very much inside and out. Master Xia was born in the jinshi, and he had enough knowledge. Although he was a bit worse than Min Anshi, Du Rulin and the three of them were also very good. But a scholar, what is the use of a bull's knife to kill a chicken? Besides, Min Anshi doesn't seem to be looking down on his family, so he doesn't need to climb high.

Furthermore, Master Xia is more down-to-earth than Min Anshi. Just when he brought a gift to Qiu Jin, Du Qingchen understood that this person has a pure and gentle character, and is smooth and thoughtful in handling things. Such a knowledgeable character is worth entrusting. It is more trustworthy, so he took the opportunity to test his words. If Master Xia didn't want to, he would just take it as a joke, and he could come back if he had something to say.

Master Xia was stunned for a moment, but Liu Tai, who secretly made a face to fight back, stopped, Du Rulin reacted quickly, glanced at Xia Zijin, who was slightly surprised, and his legs instinctively knelt down.

"Du Rulin pays a visit to the teacher, please accept me as a disciple!"

Seeing this, Du Qingchen thought that Du Rulin had thought about this for a long time, so he would react so quickly, so he restrained his joking and tentative tone and put a glass of wine in Du Rulin's hand. , said: "Did you forget to pour the tea? There is no time at the moment, why don't Master Xia use wine instead of tea?" Du Qingchen smiled and looked at Master Xia.

Seeing this, Qiu You hurriedly filled the glass with wine and knelt down, "Teacher please accept me as a disciple!"

Qiu You thought clearly, Master Xia was a serious jinshi with a lot of knowledge, and they really couldn't find it again. He is a better teacher, and Mrs. Xia is gentle and gets along well with them. If you miss such an opportunity, there will be no more.

When Liu Tai saw the two little friends kneeling down, he didn't have to think too much. He also knew that apprenticeship was the best choice. Recently, Master Liu has been teaching them, and they have gradually become powerless. Teaching talents has reached the limit. They can't always rely on self-study and comprehension, right? Still have to be taught by famous teachers.

Master Xia is the best candidate, and Liu Tai also knelt down, and he likes Master Xia and is willing to worship him as a teacher.

When Master Xia saw this, he was even more happy after being surprised. He also liked a few teenagers. Ordinary people may not see it, but he knew that these teenagers were extremely talented and could make a career in the future. , where there is still dissatisfaction, but still modestly said: "You really want to worship me as a teacher? You are not afraid that my lack of knowledge will delay you?"

"How could it be? The teacher is very knowledgeable!" Du Rulin said quickly.

"You are eager to learn, and there will always be a time to learn." Just like Master Liu at this time.

"Even if you have finished your studies, the teacher is still the teacher." Liu Tai raised his head seriously and said with bright eyes.

You Qiu bumped into Liu Tai, "How can you learn everything? The teacher is rich in five cars. He is a person who has learned a lot, and it is enough for us to learn for a lifetime." Master

Xia waved his hand, "It's not that great, but... Since you don't dislike it, then, this is I just drank the cup of wine, haha..."

After Master Xia drank three cups of apprentice wine in a row, he was also slightly drunk, and Xia Zijin went over to help him.

Du Rulin breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Xia Zijin secretly, smiled unconsciously, and lowered his head. Once you are a teacher, you will be able to see the Xia family brother from time to time, and you can also meet upright. Moreover, under normal circumstances, as a teacher, it is easy to marry your daughter or brother to your own disciple! Du Rulin smirked.

Du Qingchen was about to say a few pleasant words when a visitor came from outside the door. The housekeeper of Min Mansion brought a gift box and entered the door with a smile. He glanced at Du Rulin, smiled and cupped his hands: "Congratulations to Mr. Du for winning the title, I heard that the Du family is today. During the banquet, my master specially asked me to send congratulations to the door to express his feelings."

"Who is this?" Du Qingchen didn't know the housekeeper of the Min residence.

"It's from the Min Mansion." Du Rulin smiled, walked over, saluted, and invited him to take a seat.

"No need." The old housekeeper bowed his hands and said with a smile: "I won't bother you when the congratulations arrive, and I have to go back and return to my life."

Du Qingchen hurriedly stepped forward to keep him warmly, "How can I let you go for a meal. Why don't you leave without eating?"

Hearing that they were from the Min residence, Master Liu and Master Xia also got up, these scholars still respect and are interested in the famous Confucian scholars in the world, Master Xia stepped forward and cupped his hands, bringing A little drunk, he said, "The old gentleman went so hard for my disciple, how could he not have something to eat? Please take a seat!"

"Disciple?"

"Yeah!" Master Liu said with a smile: "I am his teacher too, but I am a teacher, and Brother Xia is a mentor."

"I have never heard of it before..." the old butler asked.

"The teacher you just worshiped, the old gentleman came a step late, otherwise, you will be able to see it." Master Liu said with a smile.

The old housekeeper's face became lighter again, Du Qingchen noticed the other's expression, and his demeanor also cooled down, leaving only a polite smile on his face.
