After being dressed as a scumbag, I was dismissed?!

Chapter 55

Gu Beizhi followed Guan Zhou to the depths of an alley, very quiet.

"That's it." Guan Yang pointed to the brown door.

"Okay." Gu Beizhi stepped forward and knocked on the door.

After a while, a man about the same age as Guan Zhou came to open the door, "May I ask who you are?"

"A certain surname Gu, name Beizhi, a native of Wangjia Village, is Guan Yang's brother-in-law, came to visit Master Zhang, and troublesome Let me know." Gu Beizhi smiled politely.

The young man on the opposite side saw Guan Yang standing behind him, and after thinking about the morning, he immediately understood that this was someone from the family, "I'll go tell the master now, you wait a moment."

After a while, he was in his forties. Master Zhang came out to greet Gu Beizhi and Guan Yang. If Guan Yang was the only one, he would naturally not come out, but when he heard the words of Gu Beizhi, he immediately stopped the lecture and came out to greet him.

Huolu Town is not big or small, all the talents are registered, and Wang Juren will lead the gathering once a year. He has long been famous for this young but unfamiliar scholar.

"Gu Xiucai, there are some failures to welcome, and some failures to welcome." Master Zhang was also a scholar, but after he passed the exam, he knew that his talent was not good, so he did not continue the imperial examination, but started a private school pragmatically.

In recent years, his life has not been bad, and he has taught one or two scholars, but then those students all transferred to Wang Juren's private school to continue their studies, and did not worship him as a teacher.

It is said that literati are inferior to each other, but in a situation where the future of one party is far better than their own, it would be stupid to offend others regardless.

"I take the liberty to come to disturb, and I hope Zhang Xiucai will not be surprised." Zhang Xiucai and

Gu Beizhi were greeted by Zhang Xiucai. They chatted in Zhang Master's bedroom, and Gu Beizhi presented the gift.

"Master Zhang, I'm here to apologize to you this time. Because A Yang is going to have a try next year, I think I'm a comer too, and I have some experience, so I told Guan Yang privately."

"But I forgot that he was there . You have studied here for many years, and you have rich experience, and you have taught Zhang Zhi, Chen Guangmin and other talented students, why should I do this? I am really sorry."

Master Zhang was a little proud when he heard the two talented students he had taught. He stroked his beard, "I've won awards, I didn't expect Gu..."

"You are A Yang's master, and of course my elder. Just call me Beizhi." Gu Beizhi's attitude was very sincere, even a little low. Own.

But Master Zhang was very happy, "That old man is no longer a foreigner with you, and Bei Zhi also knows about my two students?"

"Of course, not only do you know that Zhang and Chen, the two talented masters, were taught by you, but also Yibin Building. The cashier, the shopkeeper who came to a bowl of noodle restaurant, the cashier of Liuji Buzhuang, etc. are all taught by you. When we sent A Yang to study in the town, we found you after many inquiries."

Gu The few people Bei Zhi mentioned were all the students taught by Master Zhang who got along well, and in the eyes of ordinary people, they were all very good jobs.

Master Zhang is not only a little proud, but he is even more pleasing to the eye when he sees Gu Beizhi and Guan Yang. Originally, he did not like Guan Yang the most. Although Guan Yang is hardworking, his foundation is a bit poor, and he is three years older than the same group of students.

But when he heard that his cousin married Gu Beizhi and he was still studying here, he couldn't help but lean towards him.

Because it's good to speak out, although Gu Beizhi wasn't the youngest scholar in the Huolu Town exam, he was the best in the exam. Even Wang Juren, who is now the most famous, was only twenty in the past.

Almost everyone concluded that as long as Gu Beizhi continued to take the exam, he would definitely succeed in the exam, but his luck was bad, and he encountered such tragic events as his parents passed away one after another.

Thinking that next year he will also perform filial piety, next year will coincide with the imperial examination, he will be able to catch up, maybe by the end of next year they will have another Juren master in Luzhen.

Master Juren's brother-in-law is his student, what does that mean? It shows that Master Juren also agrees with his knowledge!

Master Zhang seems to have seen the scene where he is envied by his peers. If Guan Yang can pass the exam next year as

a scholar... Thinking of this, Master Zhang's heart is so hot that he can't hold back his smile, "Hahaha, it's a great praise, Guan Yang was late in his enlightenment, but his success lies in his steadfastness and hard work, and he will have a chance to end the game next year."

"Yes, A Yang is an elm head, and thanks to Master Zhang's careful teaching, he was enlightened. I can give him a share based on my experience, but I didn't expect it to cause Master Zhang's misunderstanding, so please don't take it to heart."

Gu Beizhi put this matter on the bright side and observed it carefully. Master Zhang's expression, "A Yang is my husband's eldest brother, and our husbands all hope that he can become a talent as soon as possible..."

"It's okay, it's okay, Beizhi finished ninth in the exam at a young age, Share your experience with your younger brother, what's wrong with this? But you must not delay your usual class, do you know Guan Yang?"

Master Zhang characterized this as a private matter for the family to communicate behind closed doors. Can't say anything.

Even if Guan Yang passed the exam in the future, others would only say that Master Zhang taught well, and no one would mention Gu Beizhi's credit, otherwise Guan Yang would just go home and study.

"Yes, the students remember it." Guan Yang lowered his head, admitting his mistake to the master.

Gu Beizhi also knew what Master Zhang had in mind, but he couldn't say anything. Instead, he said with a smile, "In the future, my family will ask Master Zhang to work hard, and Beizhi is very grateful."

Master Zhang waved his hand, "It should be , Beizhi doesn't need to be so polite."

After being polite again, Gu Beizhi took Guan Yang away again on the grounds that he had something to do, and said that when Guan Yang came back to class tomorrow, the two of them left.

Gu Beizhi had to go back to work in the shop. He planned to let Guan Yang go home first, have a good night's rest, adjust his mentality, and then go to Master Zhang's class tomorrow.

After walking out of the alley of Master Zhang's house, Guan Yang was still sullen, Gu Beizhi stopped and touched his head, "What's the matter? A bitter face."

Guan Yang didn't notice that Gu Beizhi, the elder, seemed to be teasing a child . He touched him and sighed, "Brother, I was wrong..."

Guan Yang felt sore when he thought of the humble apology from his brother just now. When you say it's down, you won't be soft-spoken if you apologize.

"You kid..."

Gu Beizhi patted him on the back and comforted him.

"Okay, what a big deal. Your master is a good person, but you have some good face. If I give him enough face, he will naturally not be angry. You don't need to take it to heart. It will be fine to take the papers to the private school in the future. It 's gone."

What else can Guan Yang say, even if he feels uncomfortable, he can only remember this mistake and never make it again in the future.

"Okay, let's turn this over, don't think about it anymore. After you go back, talk to the second uncle about Guan Hong, and find a time for the second uncle to bring you and the second child to visit."

Gu Beizhi He told Guan Yang that since Guan Hong's ladder has been handed over, they have to catch it, and it is best to resume the exchanges between the two families as soon as possible.

There have always been people in the court who are good officials, and there is a relative who is a swordsman. In the future, the Guan family will receive a lot of invisible preferential treatment.

Don't underestimate the swordsman, although there is no rank, it is impossible to hold that the swordsman is passed down from generation to generation. Usually, the county magistrates and the town mayor and other officials who have grades and are dispatched by the court have changed a few times, but the swordsman is still the same class. centaurs.

Because they control all aspects of the operation of a yamen, taking Huolu Town as an example, it can still operate normally without the mayor.

It can be seen that the importance of swordsman and pen officials, even if they have no official or rank, but the depth of interpersonal relationships and the mastery of the yamen should not be underestimated.

Guan Hong took the initiative to enter the relationship, mostly because of Gu Beizhi's bright future.

And Gu Beizhi didn't let Guan Yang deny it because of the errand of Guan Hong's family, which was considered to be mutually beneficial.

"Hey, I get it, brother." Guan Yang looked at the sky, and he didn't want to waste it. When he left Master Zhang, he had already taken out all the papers, "Brother, I can go to your place. Have you finished writing the paper?"

Gu Beizhi had nothing else to do today, so he agreed, "Let's go, I'll show you when I finish writing it."

"Okay, brother, I'm going to write it soon!" Guan Yang smiled.

Gu Beizhi gave him a chestnut that didn't hurt very much, "Don't be quick, be accurate!"

"Got it!" Guan Yang has a natural sense of sanctity and urgency about reading, which many people do not have.

Gu Beizhi led Guan Yang back to the store, and happened to meet Mr. Zheng who came to the store to find paperweights, picking and choosing.

"Old Gu, you're back!" Brother Xiao Ding quickly dragged him to Mr. Zheng's place, "Young Mr. Zheng has already brought a cup of tea, so I'll be waiting for you."

"You go to my room first." Gu Bei Zhi gave Guan Yang the key.

"Got it, brother." Guan Yang walked back with the key, and met Young Master Zheng who turned his head to look over. He nodded lightly as a greeting.

"Master Zheng is here to hunt for treasures again?" Gu Beizhi took out the tea leaves specially prepared by the shopkeeper for the reception of distinguished guests, and re-brewed a cup of tea for Master Zheng.

He is really good-looking when he does this set of actions, a gentleman, with grace and dignity in the light of the wind, which is pleasing to the eye. As long as his old customers like to watch him make tea, he almost felt like he didn't see him that time.

Gu Beizhi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he could only develop a habit. When the guests came, they would perform first, so that the guests could get over their addiction, and then talk about the business.

"Master Gu's craftsmanship is superb." Master Zheng admired it, and after smelling the aroma of the tea, he answered, "I really didn't come to pick paperweights today, I came to you on purpose."

"Oh? I would like to hear it. Details." Gu Beizhi picked out some paperweights that were not in line with Zheng Gongzi's aesthetics and put them away, and added two more pieces and placed them in front of Zheng Gongzi.

Mr. Zheng said that he didn't come for the paperweight, but after Gu Beizhi took off a few crooked melons and cracked dates, his eyes were still fixed on the paperweight, and Gu Beizhi didn't rush him and let him choose.

"This is not bad, I will wrap it up in a while." I don't know if the golden thread jade paperweight was too impressive to Mr. Zheng. Eight of the ten paperweights he bought later were made of ruby ​​or golden thread jade.

"Okay." Gu Beizhi summoned Brother Ding and asked him to take it and wrap it up.

Zheng Gongzi slapped his mouth and said, "Master Gu, you have learned to be cunning now. Let's talk about business. I want to ask Master Gu if he would like to accompany me to visit Liuxian County?"
