Gu Jingyun stopped in his tracks, looked up at the deserted sunshine in the sky, and said with a smile: "Then let's take a detour for the next two days."

Erlin and Dongfeng hurriedly stopped what they were doing to salute Gu Jingyun, Erlin whispered: "The new year is not over yet, and there will definitely be snow in the future, I'm afraid we will have to detour until next February."

Gu Jingyun withdrew his gaze, glanced at the stains on the wheels, shook his head and said, "No."

Erlin saw the old man drop this sentence and left, his monk Zhang Er turned his head and asked Dongfeng in confusion, "What does the old man mean by that?"

"You ask me who am I asking?"

There has just been a heavy snowfall in the capital. Although the sun is out, it doesn't have much temperature, which makes people feel colder.

The main street is cleaned by handymen hired by the yamen, and then the snow is shoveled into the car to be transported away, while on other streets, each house sweeps the snow in front of the door and piles it under the trees or on both sides. Some people even use a cart to shovel the snow If you walk, you will shovel to the side of the road if you are not careful, so as to prevent the snow from melting into water and stains when people step on it. Moreover, in such a cold day, thin ice is easily formed after snow melts into water. When people step on it, there is water underneath. , the top is thin ice, easy to fall.

It's okay for a child, the three-headed fall hurts at most, but the adult may break a bone, or even die.

Therefore, it is common sense for almost every family to clear the snow before their doors, but these few families in the second half of Lingsheng Street obviously do not have this understanding.

Since Gu Jingyun settled down on Lingsheng Street, the number of snow-sweeping days they spend every winter can be counted in two palms, and most of the time their families in the second half have to detour.

This year's situation is good, because not long after the snow fell, Mr. Gu's students came here to sweep the snow. Most of the Lingsheng Street was swept by Chu Yi and Chu Yu. Sweep clean.

People in the second half of Lingsheng Street were overjoyed, saying that Mr. Gu's students are really good boys, but Chu Yi and Chu Yu didn't come today, and other people consciously took their own brooms and went out to sweep the snow. The doors of those houses were quiet, and there was no movement at all.

Chu Yi and Chu Yu still didn't come the next day, and the end of the year was approaching, and everyone had to prepare New Year's goods. When other people went out and saw the muddy snowy road, they sighed and resolutely detoured.

Those houses also opened their doors, and looked at the road in front of them in a tangled look, and finally moved out the stones and stepped out the same as before.

On the third day, Chu Yi and Chu Yu still didn't come, and someone couldn't help but ran to Gu's residence to inquire, "Why don't Mr. Gu's two students come to sweep the snow?"

Old Li Tou, who was guarding the gate, got the master's order early, and said slowly after hearing the words: "Students are also celebrating the New Year, the academy is on holiday, and they all went home."

"Isn't that road going to be closed again?"

"Everyone cleans the snow in front of the door. As long as everyone abides by this rule, how can the road be blocked?"

These words were spread to the homes of those families. This street is all neighbors. When they came out, they were looked at with strange eyes. Sometimes I can't bear it.

Moreover, having already enjoyed the convenience of smooth roads, it is difficult for them to endure such dirty roads.

When the sun rose on a new day, several families finally couldn't help but came out with shovels and brooms to sweep the snow with everyone. Although so-so, the road is open again.

When Chu Yu and Chu Yi came out of Gu's house again, they didn't need to detour again. They looked at each other, and Chu Yi asked, "Brother, do you think Mr. Gu asked us to sweep the snow here to train us or to educate us?" How many families are these?"

Thinking of being questioned about her knowledge and being buried by test papers these days, Chu Yu couldn't help sighing, shaking her head and saying, "I don't know."

Chu Yi couldn't help but sigh.

These days they were nervous, thinking that after finishing the test papers, Mr. Gu would decide whether to accept them as disciples or not, but they still thought too well.

Mr. Gu took the test papers but threw a book to each of them, and asked them to take it back to read. When he came back the next day, he began to inquire about knowledge, from enlightenment books to university middle school, and even historical miscellaneous notes. Don't open your mouth to accept them as disciples.

The heartstrings of the two of them were tense, seeing the changes on this road today, the two of them were even less sure that what Gu Jingyun did before was really a checkpoint set up to accept them as disciples?

Perhaps it is really to solve the stubborn illness on this road?

The two of them came to the door the next day with a little bit of self-confidence holding the homework done. Chu Yi was fine, he was only eleven years old and could keep working hard, but Chu Yu couldn't help but waver. After all, he was already a juren and had little time. , he wasn't sure he could wait until Gu Jingyun spoke.

Both of them stood silently in front of Gu's mansion, Chu Yi turned to look at Chu Yu and said, "Brother, let's go."

Chu Yu didn't move.

Chu Yi reached out and grabbed his hand, and said solemnly: "Mr. Gu said that learning is endless, and I also think that studying is not just to pass the Jinshi exam. My second uncle also said that as long as you persist, you will always get something, even if you don't reach it. Even if you reach your original goal, you won’t persist for nothing. Brother, haven’t you made any progress during this period of time?”

The hesitation on Chu Yu's face gradually disappeared. He learned a lot from Gu Jingyun in class, but he learned more from being around him. Chu Yi was right, even if he failed to worship Gu Jingyun as his teacher in the end, he actually Can also learn a lot.

He smiled gratefully at Chu Yi, and knocked on the door.

Old Li opened the door and grinned when he saw the two of them, "The two gentlemen are here, come in quickly, the master has been waiting for you."

"Mister is waiting for us?" Chu Yu and Chu Yi looked at each other curiously.

Old Li nodded with a smile, "Yes, the word was passed down early in the morning that if the two young masters come, they will go to the flower hall to look for him."

In the flower hall, Gu Jingyun was smiling and listening to An An's childish voice reciting the "Three Character Classic", while Li Baolu was planning to check the accounts.

At the end of the year, the account books of the farm store and the mansion have to be checked, and this year Master and mother-in-law went to Yazhou to celebrate the New Year, so she had to calculate the master's dividend and send it to them.

Traveling is also very expensive, especially if you travel comfortably and comfortably, it costs a lot of money.

When Chu Yu and Chu Yi entered the door, they first saluted Li Baolu, and then stood aside respectfully, waiting for An An to finish reciting a section of the "Three Character Classics" before going forward to greet Gu Jingyun.

Gu Jingyun touched An An's head, pulled her aside and stood up, and then looked up at the two people in front of him.

Chu Yu came from a poor background, but stood proudly in light-colored clothes. His talent was not very good, but Gu Jingyun admired his theories, which are the articles that can best understand a person's heart.

As for Chu Yi, Gu Jingyun felt that this child was brave and very lucky. Not everyone who falls into the hands of human traffickers can be rescued, nor can everyone survive such injuries.

He is brave, resolute, and has great luck and talent. These four points are enough for him to make a difference.

Even if these two people don't worship him as their teacher, their future achievements will not be low.

Gu Jingyun picked up the tea and took a sip, and the two people standing in the hall tensed their backs by coincidence, and felt their spines tremble.

Gu Jingyun put down the teacup, and the eyes of the two of them could not help but follow the teacup to the table, and raised their hearts high.

"Both of you are very good, you are willing to worship me as your teacher and be my disciple..."

"Yes!" The two of them nodded fiercely without waiting for Gu Jingyun to finish speaking, for fear that there would be a turning point behind him.

Gu Jingyun couldn't help chuckling, and said: "What I can give you is not as much as you imagined. Except for knowledge, I am very stingy about the rest. Don't think that if you join my school, you are the same as the emperor. You can go straight to the sky."

Chu Yu knelt down with a serious face and said: "Sir, the students dare not make such an impression, but only hope to learn from the master, so that in the future, they can be worthy of the world, worthy of the king, worthy of the common people, and worthy of their parents and ancestors."

Chu Yi also quickly knelt down, he groaned for a long time, and finally blushed and said: "Sir, knowledge is priceless, and what you teach us is the most precious."

Gu Jingyun nodded slightly, "Then you should do the ceremony of apprenticeship."

Hongtao came forward with two cups of tea, Chu Yu and Chu Yi offered tea to Gu Jingyun, kowtowed and called "Sir".

Then he went to kowtow to Li Baolu to offer tea, and called "Master".

Li Baolu had prepared for a long time, and each of them gave them a big red envelope, and said with a smile: "I have prepared this red envelope a long time ago, but you sir have not made up your mind, so I have been struggling to take it out, and I finally gave it out today. You guys Senior brother lives not far away, you guys will come to visit later, second senior brother, he is currently trapped in the deep palace, we will see you later, as for third senior brother and your senior sister, they have gone home and will not come until the next year. Don't allow them to underestimate them when they are young."

Chu Yu said no, and Chu Yi said that at his age, there is no obstacle at all for asking Qu Weizhen and his brother to be senior sisters and juniors.

An An ran to her mother, squeezed hard to the front of Chu Yu and Chu Yi, and looked at them with piercing eyes.

Chu Yu smiled at her. An An was younger than his daughter, so she couldn't help but want to pay for the meeting gift.

Seeing that Chu Yu had given everything, Chu Yi also started to dig out his purse.

An An looked at the money handed to her, and couldn't help puffing her cheeks, straightened her chest and said, "I want to call you sister!"

Chu Yu and Chu Yi felt a thunder strike and were stunned.

Seeing that they were gone, An An turned around aggrievedly and threw herself into her mother's arms, shouting, "Obviously I got started earlier than them, why didn't they call me Senior Sister?"

Li Baolu also remained silent to her daughter who was about to turn two years old.

Seeing that her mother was not comforting herself, An An immediately burst into tears with a "wow".

Distress flashed across Gu Jingyun's face, and he stepped forward to pick up his daughter in three steps at a time, and said to the two newly recruited apprentices: "An'an has been enlightened by me since she could speak, and now she can memorize half of the "San Zi Jing" .”

Chu Yu held back for a long time, and finally called "Second Senior Sister" softly to the child in the husband's arms. Chu Yi was still young, so he didn't realize it for a while, and raised his head to stare at An An.
