Chapter 11 The Greeting Ceremony from the Master

Huang Shang was a man who believed in his words. The next morning, after breakfast at Mi's house, Huang Shang handed over a list of books he wrote overnight to Zhao Rong, asking Zhao Rong to buy self-study according to the books he listed on the list, and gave Zhao Rong a collection of Mr. Yanshan that he had paid for to publish, so that Zhao Rong could learn his poems.

That's not all, Huang Shang said to Zhao Rong again: "Don't be anxious. After my teacher returns to Beijing and has a fixed address, I will immediately write a letter to contact you. At that time, I will copy the poems and essays that I have not published in the book to you, so that you can study carefully. You must also study well. When we are destined to meet again, I will teach you carefully in person."

When Zhao Rong quickly thanked him, a servant from the Mi family suddenly came to Zhao Rong and said, "Young Master Zhao, a member of the army came outside the door. He claimed that he was your father. Please go out to see him."

When Zhao Rong heard this, he didn't dare to be negligent, so he asked Huang Shang to wait in the room, and then quickly went out to see his cheap father. When he arrived at the door, he saw that his cheap father, Mr. Zhao did lead Zhao Xiaoyi and a few servants outside the Mi family. Zhao Rong hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and Mr. Zhao quickly grabbed Zhao Rong and lowered his voice and asked, "Dalang, what happened? Xiaoyi said, you were very popular at the literary conference yesterday and wrote several good poems. When did you learn to write poetry, why don't I know?"

"Dad, let's talk about these things when you go back." Zhao Rong replied in a low voice, and asked quickly: "Dad, my name is Xiaoyi and tell you, I have paid a visit to a teacher. Have you brought you a thank-you gift?"

"Bring it." Mr. Zhao said to the gift box that Zhao Xiaoyi and others were carrying, and said, "I heard from Xiaoyi that you have been a teacher who is an official, so you have prepared the gift very heavily."

"Thank you, dad." Zhao Rong hurriedly thanked his father, and said, "Dad, come in quickly and I'll take you to see my teacher. His name is Huang Shang. Huang Huang. The clothes of the clothes have just stepped down from the prefect of Yuezhou. This time I return to Beijing to report my life, and I may have to be a bigger official."

Unexpectedly, the baby son really worshiped an imperial official as a teacher. When Mr. Zhao heard this, he was overjoyed and asked his servants to pick up gift boxes into the yard. He followed Zhao Rong all the way to the room where Huang Shang lived, and he would salute Huang Shang respectfully as soon as he met. Huang Shang stopped Mr. Zhao and smiled and said, "No need to be too polite. Since I have accepted the son as my disciple, you and I are both peers. There is no need to be so many etiquette among peers."

"Mr. Huang, don't be polite." Mr. Zhao insisted on bowing and bowing, saying: "Mr. Zhao didn't know that it was the blessing he had cultivated in his life. He could actually let Mr. Huang take the dog son as his disciple. Zhao was so honored. He had a little care and asked Mr. Huang to accept it. Come and bring Dalang's apprenticeship in."

He is worthy of being the richest man in Dantu Town. The gifts Zhao Yuanwai brought are indeed quite generous. In addition to preparing six ritual buns according to the rules of this era, he also added twenty of the best silk, ten pounds of eight cakes per pound of dragon and phoenix tea balls, two sets of Confucian robes made of silk and belts made of rhinoceros leather, a set of Xing kiln tea sets from the Tang Dynasty and a set of silver tea sets, which are quite valuable.

That's not all. After carefully asking Huang Shang was a high-ranking official in the court who stepped down from Yuezhou, Mr. Zhao took out a thick stack of slaughter from his arms and respectfully presented it to Huang Shang, saying, "Mr. Huang, I'm so sorry, because the time is too hasty and I don't know what you always like, so I can't prepare any decent things. I have a little 300 guan of money for the old man to spend it on the road. Please be sure to accept it."

"You can't accept it, you can't accept it." Huang Shang quickly waved his hand and said, "I accept the son as his disciple. According to the rules, you can only accept the Six Lessons of Your Family. How can you collect your money and so many gifts from the official? Please take it back quickly. It is enough for me to only accept Six Lessons of Your Family."

"Mr. Huang, don't be polite." Mr. Zhao was also very good at speaking and said, "The old man can accept dogs as his disciples. That's because the ancestral tomb of our Zhao family is smoking. I have a little care. Please accept it for tens of millions of dollars, tens of millions of dollars."

Huang Shang still refused, while Zhao Yuanwai insisted on giving it to him, and even put Jiaozi on the desk next to Huang Shang. Zhao Rong was also very dissatisfied and bowed repeatedly, and tried his best to ask Huang Shang to accept it. In the end, Huang Shang had no choice but to nodded reluctantly to accept it. Then after a little calculation, Huang Shang ordered to his Changsui: "Go, give the boy's envoy my folding fan."

Changsui agreed and soon took a very exquisite folding fan. Huang Shang took it and handed it to Zhao Rong, saying, "Rong'er, don't you respect Tong Envoy's great military achievements in Xixia? Just so happens that there is a folding fan that Tong Envoy used. On the fan is a poem written by Pan Mei, a famous general of the founding Song Dynasty. It is the favorite thing of Tong Envoy. It is also the breakup gift he gave to me when I left Beijing and took office in Yuezhou. Today, I will give this folding fan to you, which is regarded as a gift for my meeting for you."

"I dare not, I dare not." Zhao Rong waved his hand in a hurry and said, "How dare I accept such a precious treasure?"

"Please accept it, this is a gift to you for your teacher." Huang Shang smiled and said, "This is also the instructions of your teacher, you must listen."

Seeing that Huang Shang had already said this, Zhao Rong had no choice but to take the folding fan with respect and thank Huang Shang repeatedly. He also curiously unfolded the folding fan and looked at the poem on the fan. At first glance, he saw such a poem - Huang Sand wore golden armor and would never return until he broke Loulan! Zhao Rong couldn't help but feel curious and said to himself: "This is really Tong Guan's beloved folding fan? Can a yin and yang person who is neither male nor female like such generous and heroic sentences?"

After seeing Huang Shang, Zhao Yuanwai naturally had to pay homage to the owner Mi Youren under Zhao Rong's leadership, thanking him for his hospitality to his beloved son. Mi Youren also warmly welcomed Zhao Yuanwai's arrival. As a result, it happened that during this period, Mi Ning suddenly came to Mi Youren and talked. Zhao Rong quickly poked his cheap father gently and nude to Mi Ning again. Zhao Yuanwai immediately understood the eyes lit up, and then whispered to Zhao Rong: "Don't be anxious, talk on the way back."

Next, because he had met Zhao Rong's father, Huang Shang, who had been delaying for four days in Runzhou, asked Mi Youren to leave Runzhou and go to the capital that day. Mi Youren could not keep him, so he had to bow and say goodbye to Huang Shang. The Zhao family's father and son naturally had to offer farewell at the same time, and then sent Huang Shang to the wharf outside the city, rushing to pay for a boat to take him away. Huang Shang refused again and again, so he had to accept the kindness of the Zhao family's father and son, and reminded Zhao Rong to study hard before leaving on the boat.

The highlight came. As soon as Huang Shang's ship had just walked away, Zhao Rong couldn't wait to say to Mr. Zhao: "Dad, what do you think of the little lady Mi you met at the Mi family just now?"

"Beautiful." Zhao Yuanwai answered very simply, and said, "I just don't know how acupuncture girl is popular, and how she has a personality and temper?"

"I don't care whether she will be acupuncturer or acupuncture girl or not, I will marry her!" Zhao Rong said more simply, saying, "Anyway, you already know the place. I will ask a matchmaker to her house to propose marriage tomorrow and ask her house to marry her."

"Is it too urgent?" Zhao Yuanwai shook his head and said, "Let's wait for me to inquire. Also, Dalang, do you really don't like your cousin Xiulian? Your mother said again, saying that she is the most suitable for you."

"Dad, if you want me to die, then let me marry my ugly cousin!" Zhao Rong said angrily: "Also, if you don't agree to send someone to the Mi family to propose marriage tomorrow, then I will jump into the river now and directly cut off the roots of our Zhao family!"

After saying that, Zhao Rong really stepped forward two steps and acted to jump into the river to commit suicide. Mr. Zhao had no choice but to hold Zhao Rong quickly and said, "Ancestor, can I call you little ancestor? I will send someone to the Mi family to propose marriage tomorrow, and will send the chief tomorrow?"

"What if the bride price the Mi family wants is high?"

"A small matter. As long as the Mi family agrees to marry their daughter, he will talk to you. Even if he loses everything, I will definitely marry that little lady to you!"
