    Arriving at Tanggu Pier in Tianjin, Sun Yuanqi had Lao Zhao, Lao Zheng and a few people waiting for him.  Yang Du was free and easy, carrying a small cloth bag, bowing to Sun Yuan, saying "we should never forget each other", and then left.

    Sun Yuanqi was stunned and touched the back of his head: Could it be that I really have a bone on the back of my head?

    Yang Du was still shaking the folding fan coquettishly in his hand, and he could still hear the crooked poem he was reciting from a distance: "The red sun is scorching like fire, and the fields of rice are half withered. The farmer's heart is like soup, and the princes and princes are shaking the fan  .Young master, that prince and grandson, shake your fan¡ª¡ª"

    It is said that Yang Du said goodbye to Sun Yuanqi, took a sea ship to Shanghai, then took a river ship to Changsha, and arrived in Xiangtan in mid-October.  As soon as I got off the boat, I hurriedly went to visit my mentor, Mr. Wang Kaiyun, who lived in the city.

    Just as he was about to enter, the concierge caught sight of him, but he didn't believe it and rubbed his eyes.  After being convinced that the person coming was Yang Du, he sent a thousand greetings and prepared to go to the backyard to report the good news to the old man: "Master Yang, you are back. The old man is talking about you three times a day! My little ears can hear it.  The cocoon is about to grow out. Now go in and report to the old man, so that he can be happy!"

    Yang Du waved his hand: "Don't go in, I'll give the teacher a surprise myself!"

    When I entered the courtyard, I saw that all the brothers and sisters were there, as if they were still busy with something.  He thought to himself: Why are all the brothers and sisters gathered here?  Is it possible that you knew in advance that I was coming back?  However, no one told anyone when I came back!

    Everyone was overjoyed to see each other, and there was no need to talk and laugh.  After asking, I found out that my junior brother Qi Baishi had received travel expenses and betrothal money from his friend Xia Wuyi who was going to Shaanxi to serve as an official, hoping that he could go to Xi'an to teach his wife to learn painting.  Reading thousands of books is worse than traveling thousands of miles. In order to broaden his horizons, Qi Baishi decided to travel thousands of miles to Xi'an.

    Someone may ask: How could Qi Baishi, who was born in the second year of Tongzhi (1864), be Yang Du's junior brother?  As mentioned earlier, Yang Du was born in the twelfth year of Tongzhi (1874)!

    This has to be mentioned by Wang Kaiyun, a famous scholar in the late Qing Dynasty.  It turned out that this famous scholar, poet, and conspirator was a well-educated man. In addition to young talents like Yang Du and the children of officials, there were also many handicraftsmen who were born in poverty.  The famous ones are the "Three Craftsmen of Wangmen": blacksmith Zhang Zhongyang, coppersmith Zeng Zhaoji, and carpenter Qi Baishi.  In 1899, Qi Baishi met Wang Xiangqi as his teacher with poetry, literature and painting as a meeting ceremony. This was several years later than Yang Du, who had started in 1895.  ¡ª¡ªIsn¡¯t there something like this in Jin Yong¡¯s novels? Linghu Chong is younger than Lao Denuo. Just because he was admitted first, Lao Denuo has to call Linghu Chong ¡°elder brother¡±.

    Qi Baishi, who is nearly 40 years old, is well-known in Xiangtan for his skills in carving, painting and engraving. However, as a rural painter, his footprints are limited to the vicinity of Xiangtan and he has never traveled far.  He was going to travel far in the next few days, so the brothers gathered together to give him some advice and common sense about traveling; and to give him a farewell party.

    Wang Kaiyun heard laughter in front of him in the backyard, and hurriedly came out with his crutches. When he saw Yang Du in the crowd, he was overjoyed at first, and then turned serious, and scolded in pain: "Yang Xizi, you still dare to come!"

    Yang Du heard the sound and hurriedly took a few steps forward, knelt down and bowed respectfully to the teacher: "How can students not come? Shaoling is 'never forgetting you at every meal'. Students are stupid and dare not speak out the rules of the emperor."  , but my father and teacher never forget every meal!"

    Wang Kaiyun said: "Huh! You can say nice things and pour ecstasy soup into my master. Let me ask you: Why don't you listen to the dissuasion and insist on going to that barbarian country without telling my master?"

    Yang Du kowtowed again: "Replying to the teacher, the student has heard since he was a child how the foreigners can build ships and cannons, and how they are arrogant and unkind. Later, he followed the teacher and heard several times that Lin Wenzhonggong and Zeng Wenzhenggong advocated Westernization.  Learn from the barbarians and learn skills to control the barbarians. Every time a student has doubts in his mind, how do the barbarians live? Why are they so powerful? On the newsprint, most of them are barks and barks, and they are passed down by false rumors, which cannot be trusted. When I hear what foreigners say, they may be blinded by a leaf and cannot be seen.  Mount Tai is like a blind man touching an elephant, but it is difficult to see the whole leopard. So students want to see it with their own eyes, so as not to be groggy and follow what others say."

    "You bastard! How can you just go to this barbarian country at will?" Wang Kaiyun's face softened a little, and he paused on his crutches, "Follow me to the study room, and I will ask you a few questions. If you don't like me, I'll have to do it."  I want to knock you thirty years old!"

    After saying that, he turned around.  Yang Du kowtowed before getting up and following him to the study.

    Entering the study, before Yang Du could salute, Wang Kaiyun picked up a piece of letterhead from the case and handed it over.  Yang Du quickly bowed and took it, but there was a poem on it. The ink was dripping but not yet dry. He must have written it not long ago:

    The frost on the empty mountain is deep, and the moon is setting thousands of miles away.

    ¡¯s son is not lying high,?Explained: "Xianzi, you have also read the "Old Tang Book". You said, why did Li Taibai live in seclusion in Luzhong with Kong Chaofu, Han Mian, Pei Zheng, Zhang Shuming, Tao Mian and others?  Do you sing and drink every day in Culai Mountain? It¡¯s just to attract attention. Later, when you heard that Wu Yun was famous, you rushed to Kuaiji and lived with Taoist Wu Yun in Yanzhong. Isn¡¯t it just to raise your hopes? Another example is  He married into Master Xu Yu's family. Although Li Tang was open-minded, his son-in-law had a bad reputation. Why? It was just because Master Xu Yu was the prime minister of the previous dynasty! He also traveled east to Weiyang and squandered 300,000 yuan in less than a year.  Silver, to help the poor prince and grandson. Doesn¡¯t he know that this silver was earned by his father¡¯s hard work? It¡¯s just the cost of his own reputation all over the world!

    "Xianzi, those who master the art of kings say 'subjects choose kings', but they are a minority after all. The right thing is still 'king chooses ministers'. Scholars have no reputation, how can they meet their masters? This is what Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty did  Xiong Xiong, when he first met Li Sheng, he was just a naughty man, let alone someone who waited for him to come down. How can he talk about being reused? So, Xianzi, you'd better go under Xiang Shuai's curtain!"

    After listening to the teacher¡¯s earnest persuasion and not letting himself give up the Imperial Technique, Yang Du finally reluctantly agreed.

    The old man was then happy: "By the way, Xianzi, what is the name of that strange person you just mentioned?"

    "This man's surname is Sun, his given name is Yuanqi, and his courtesy name is Baixi. He is the great-nephew of Shouzhou Zhongtang. Few people in China know it, but he is famous in the West. He now runs a school called 'Jingshi University' in Beijing  ¡ª¡ª¡±

    "Jingshi University? This name sounds familiar, let me think about it!" Wang Kaiyun suddenly remembered something, got up and went to the bookshelf at the back to look through it for a while, and finally found a letter from it, "It seems that I am not an old fool yet, I am a teacher."  I remember someone from the 'Jingshi University' wrote a letter. Let me see Hey, it turns out that I was invited to teach. In that case, how about I go to Beijing first?" (Remember this site)  Website: www.hlnovel.com
