Chapter 165 Xu Guangqi asks for support

In March, it is the time for spring to be busy. When the tenants in the farm are busy planting cotton in the fields, two men from No. 1 Middle School and One Young Master stood in front of the house. The middle-aged man looked at his forty years old. As for the young man who looked like he was fifteen or sixteen years old, he had a pair of godly eyes. Both of them were dressed as scholars, and they should be a father and son. They stood in front of the door like that, occasionally paced back and forth.

"Dad, will you remember us?"

"this……"

The middle-aged man looked at the closed door of the mansion and shook his head and said.

"I shouldn't remember it. Even so, I can't help but thank you for your life."

"Will my benefactor come back today?"

"Didn't that servant just now? My husband and wife went to the factory to find him. Naturally, the factory is not a place to entertain guests, and he will definitely come back."

Just as the father and son were talking, a carriage came over there. The carriage was parked in front of the yard and when the person got out of the carriage, the middle-aged man led his son over and bowed.

"I dare to ask if the young master is Mr. Shi."

"What are you?"

He looked at the father and son in front of him in surprise, as if he was a little familiar.

"Oh, it's true that it's my benefactor. Hurry, Qi'er, why don't you kowtow to my benefactor."

Benefactor?

Before Shi Yiwen could react, the young man knelt down and kowtowed.

"Thank you, my husband, for saving your life..."

"Are you...we have seen it in Songjiang?"

Shi Yiwen finally remembered it, and he hurriedly supported the boy and said.

"No need to perform such a great gift, absolutely not..."

"Mr., if I had no benefactor at the beginning, I was afraid I would not see my son. When I came to my senses next time, my benefactor had already left. Later, after several rounds of inquiries, I found out that my benefactor was in Nanjing, but I missed my benefactor at the dock. Fortunately, I got help from noble people and arrived in the capital and thanked me in person..."

Looking at the father and son who were chasing thousands of miles away, Shi Yiwen said in confusion.

"You have traveled thousands of miles to the capital, just to..."

Looking at the young man with dust on his forehead, Shi Yiwen was also quite moved and said with his arm on his shoulder.

"It's just a small task, why bother to do this? Why do you have to do this? Come in quickly."

The two of them were invited into the house, and asked Xiao Lian to serve tea, and asked their father and son to sit down. They were polite again. The matter was considered a conclusion. When their father and son introduced themselves, Shi Yiwen was shocked.

"You...a name is Xu Guangqi?"

Looking at the boy in front of him in surprise, Shi Yiwen felt surprised.

Did I save Xu Guangqi?

What would happen to him if I couldn't save him?

It must have been saved by others.

Tinking in his heart, Shi Yiwen looked at Xu Sicheng and asked.

"I wonder Brother Siyuan, what are your plans next?"

"I'm going to be the one who returns to the emperor, and I can only bring my son to thank him in person. It's not easy to come to Beijing, so I want to find a famous teacher for the son in Beijing to prepare for the next day of the exam."

Looking for a famous teacher?

Looking at Xu Guangqi sitting there, he was only sixteen years old now. In history, he seemed to have to wait for more than ten years before he could get a fame.

It takes more than ten years to pursue fame and fortune... This is a waste of talent!

Thinking of the series of achievements that the young man in front of him has achieved in the future, Shi Yiwen suddenly asked.

"Well, Guangqi, are you willing to worship me as your teacher?"

"Mr. Byrne is his teacher?"

Xu Sicheng looked at Shi Yiwen in surprise. He knew that the young man in front of him had returned from overseas and knew his identity as a psychic. But could he be Qi'er's master?

The reason why he came to Beijing thousands of miles away was not only because of the help of noble people, but more importantly, he knew that there were many famous teachers in Beijing. If such a teacher taught Qi'er, or even himself, then he would have greater confidence in taking the provincial examination in the future.

But... does Shi Tongzhi in front of him understand articles?

Just as Xu Sicheng was suspicious, Shi Yiwen's next words made him confused.

"However, I can't teach the Four Books and Five Classics, so I just understand this slightly, so I can't teach you the imperial examination articles."

Although I hope to accept Xu Guangqi as a student, I would rather explain some of the words in advance.

Perhaps it was Xu Guangqi that made Shi Yiwen have another idea in his mind, and maybe he could use a student like a professor to show himself. He was weak and knew very well how weak his power was. Even though he seemed to have become friends with the emperor, so what?

"If you accept some students, they will enter the officialdom in the future..."

But can you teach them the Four Books and Five Classics by yourself?

Standing there blankly, Xu Guangqi couldn't help but feel a little confused. Although he was very curious about what his beloved said in his heart, the imperial examination was related to his future.

How to choose?

Thinking of this, Xu Guangqi turned his eyes to his father, trying to get an answer from his father, but he saw that his father seemed to be thinking too.

"What can my benefactor teach me?"

"I can teach you the knowledge of the world and the knowledge of governing the country and benefiting the people."

After a simple sentence, Shi Yiwen stopped talking and just picked up the teacup and waited for his answer.

What choice would he make?

Just when Shi Yiwen thought Xu Guangqi might not be his student, he heard Xu Sicheng, who had been thinking about it.

"Qi'er's life was saved by the benefactor. Now, the benefactor is willing to teach Qi'er's learning of the world. Although I am ignorant, I also know that the way of learning is to be practical, and what we seek to study is the way to govern the country and benefit the people."

After saying that, Xu Sicheng ordered his son again.

"Qi'er, why don't you kowtow to see your mentor quickly!"

"Students greet their mentors."

Facing Xu Guangqi's gift, Shi Yiwen was not polite, but accepted it with a smile. At the same time, he took out a pen from his pocket and handed it to him and said.

"I don't bring anything to you, I'll give this pen to you, as a teacher, a little bit of my wish."

"The elder dared not refuse, and the student thanked his mentor."

After accepting the student, Shi Yiwen, who was in a good mood, got up and told the outside.

"Xiaoyun."

Listening to the young master's shout, Kou Yun quickly walked in and said goodbye.

"Master, what are your instructions?"

The flashing eyes really made Shi Yiwen, who hadn't come back for a few days, feel a little moved, but today is a good day, so I want to celebrate it well.

"Young master, I took a student and made a table of good dishes at noon. Brother Xu and I had two drinks."

"Oh, be kind, I'm welcome. I should be preparing for a banquet for apprenticeship."

Shi Yiwen did not be polite to Xu Siqing about this, but just said casually.

"I'll make up for it next time, oh by the way."

As if he remembered something, Shi Yiwen asked.
