Chapter 577
Chapter [-]: Apprenticeship

After many years, the Analects of Confucius that Sun Leqing learned back then, although the meaning is somewhat vague, but he can still barely recognize all the words on it.

Occasionally he forgot some characters, so Sun Leqing asked Xia Kai for advice humbly. It took him more than a year to teach all the characters in "The Analects" to his son Sun Simao.

But because Sun Leqing only has a half-knowledge of the meaning of those words that are not commonly used, and he doesn't want to pretend to understand, and make mistakes to make people laugh.

Whenever Sun Simao asked a sentence he didn't understand, Sun Leqing often passed it vaguely, causing Sun Simao to memorize the entire "Analects of Confucius", but he had only a half-knowledge of the meaning of the sentence.

Sun Simao's thirst for knowledge is very strong, so naturally he will not be satisfied with being able to recite "The Analects of Confucius" thoroughly, and wants to learn more.

He got up early every day and listened to Xia Kaichen read. He actually understood the meaning of some words from Xia Kai's ups and downs reading, and he admired Mr. Xia even more!
Because his mother, Mrs. Jiang, learned how to grow medicinal materials, she often managed the medicinal garden with He Yuanying, and she often met Xia Kai, so Sun Simao had a whimsical idea and asked his mother to take him to Mr. Sun for advice.

Although Jiang is also literate, but she mainly practice female celebrity, she couldn't bear to refuse her son's request, so she took her son to ask Xia Kai for a second time, Sun Simao benefited a lot, and she felt suddenly enlightened. Feel.

After Sun Leqing found out about this, he couldn't calm down anymore!He is also a scholar, so he knows that this teaching cannot be done casually, it is okay once in a while, but he often comes to ask for advice, and it is not in accordance with etiquette not to ask for a teacher!

Therefore, Sun Leqing picked an auspicious day, took his son Sun Simao and apprentice ceremony, found Xia Kai, and asked him to accept his son as a teacher.

Although Xia Kai is also a scholar, since he entered the world of cultivating immortals, he respected strength and ignored these vain rituals, so he didn't care about Sun Simao's advice!
When I saw Sun Leqing bringing his son to visit the teacher today, I really didn't react, thinking that Sun Leqing had discovered his identity as a cultivator, so he didn't answer.

Although Sun Simao is smart and eager to learn, and his understanding is amazing, Xia Kai also likes him from the bottom of his heart, but he let go of his spiritual sense for a little inspection, and found that he has a mortal physique without spiritual roots, so he gave up the idea of ​​accepting disciples.

Hearing Sun Leqing said that he wanted to be a teacher, Xia Kai quickly understood that Sun Leqing's apprenticeship was naturally to teach Confucianism. He had nothing to do, and teaching students was also a kind of pastime, and he agreed in his heart!

But Xia Kai did not immediately agree to Sun Leqing, but turned to Sun Simao and said, "Simao, are you willing to worship me as a teacher?"

Sun Simao is a little ghost, knowing that Mr. Xia asked for his opinion, he intends to accept him as a disciple, so he quickly kowtowed to the ground, kowtowed three times, creating a fait accompli, and replied respectfully:

"The disciple is willing to worship under the master, listen to the master's teaching, be a teacher for a day, and be a father for life!"

Xia Kai was also polite, and after receiving the three respects from Sun Simao, he continued:

"Although I have been studying for more than ten years and have been admitted as a scholar, I haven't achieved success yet. I am still studying hard. I shouldn't be accepting apprentices now, but when I see you, I feel destined. In addition, you are smart. Make an exception and accept you as a registered disciple, get up!"

After Sun Simao got up from the ground, he stood respectfully aside, waiting for the master to talk to his father.

Xia Kai turned his head to Sun Leqing again and said: "Mr. Sun, we are already old friends. I have already agreed to accept your son as a registered disciple, and he has already kowtowed to recognize his teacher. You stay here for the apprenticeship ceremony, and other ceremonies will be avoided. !"

When Sun Leqing heard that Xia Kai agreed to accept his son as a disciple, he was also very happy, and suddenly remembered that Mr. Xia hadn't given a name yet, so he hurriedly said to Xia Kai: "The dog is worshiped under Mr. Xia, but he doesn't have a scientific name yet, please give him a name! "

At that time, it was customary for schoolchildren to give their names to teachers. Xia Kai pondered for a moment and said, "The nickname given to your son by Village Chief Sun has a lot of meaning. It’s still the original name, but it’s a homophonic character, it’s great to be called Sun Simao!”

Sun Leqing heard that although the name is still the original pronunciation, but the artistic conception is quite different, and it will not affect the usual customary appellation. He couldn't help being overjoyed, and said to his son:

"Mao'er, thank you sir for giving me your name!"

Sun Simao kowtowed again obediently.And said: "Mr. thank you for giving me the name!"

After Xia Kai accepted Sun Simao as a student, he had another job of educating Sun Simao every day, but for him, it was not a burden!
He seems to be writing and practicing calligraphy every day, and his unshakable morning reading is actually deceiving people. With his photo memory, no topic can stump him!

As for instructing students to study, it is even more fun for him. Sun Simao's innocent questioning has actually increased his understanding a lot!
Of course, there are still many patients who come here because of fame, Xia Kai is also serious about diagnosis and treatment, and the treatment effect is naturally not bad!
Watching Mr. Xia look, hear, ask, and treat patients, he has an indescribable confidence and chic, which makes Sun Simao admire him very much, and he gradually began to like medicine!
In addition to completing the homework left by Xia Kai, Sun Simao often studied some medical books in his husband's study, and his medical attainments gradually improved.

Recently, Sun Yumin, the son of Sun Leshan, often came to invite Xia Kai to participate in some literary meetings.

The first time Sun Yumin came to visit Xia Kai, he was actually a little reluctant, but because it was his father's confession, he had to come over to invite him, which is to be perfunctory!
He was also afraid that Xia Kai would lose face, who knows that Xia Kai is not only highly talented, but also easy-going, and he never shirks every invitation.

Xia Kai also performed well at the essay meeting. Whether it was reciting poems against each other or punching orders, he was proficient in everything, and he was always able to rescue Sun Yumin.

In the past, Sun Yumin won the first place in these families because he was admitted as a scholar earlier, which made the lintel of the Sun family three inches higher, and some people in other families were also dissatisfied.

Now that everyone is a scholar, Sun Yumin will inevitably become the target of public criticism at the literary conference. Several people will often join forces to set him up. Although it is not a big deal, he is very embarrassed and loses face!

But since Xia Kai joined in, every time Xia Kai would make a timely rescue, those talents became much more restrained!
Those scholars knew that Xia Kai was a child of Niyang Xia's family, so they didn't dare to offend him easily. It was a big family with many former students and old officials. Somehow he got involved with Sun Yumin.

When they saw that Xia Kai was helping Sun Yumin, not only did they not dare to vent their anger on him, even the Sun family didn't target them very much.
