    Text] 340. Ceremony - 340. Ceremony But no matter how much Yang Yi slandered, he did not dare to say certain things clearly. Not to mention that there were so many people here today, even if it was only Ji Tangdan, he would only  I can whisper a few words behind my back, that's all.  Moreover, it was still a good day for the old man, so he couldn't be presumptuous. Looking at the past, the sum of the five young ones around him was sixteen times his age. Sixteen times sixteen, this still didn't count.  The teacher’s wife who went out early in the morning to buy groceries.  As a "little" junior brother who is either a grandson or a son or daughter, if there is anyone in this room who must be polite, it must be Yang Yi.  So now he is just listening respectfully, watching the old man arrogantly display his foresight and discernment.  "Yes, yes, teacher, you have a keen eye for recognizing talents." Several men just stood motionless beside them, with vague smiles on their lips. It was obvious that they all knew what kind of temper their teacher was.  Only the woman who was called Zhaoying, like coaxing a child, smiled and agreed: "But teacher, our little junior brother has so many things in his hands, why don't you say anything to ask him to put them down."  Obviously, this woman has an unusual status among Ji Tangdan's students. Seeing her speak first, others also agreed: "Yes, teacher, let the junior brother bring the things over and take a look.  What kind of gift did he give you, old man?" Among the few people, there are some who have heard of Yang Yi's deeds, some who have never heard of it, and some who are immersed in their own knowledge.  However, they are not talkative people. Before Yang Yi presented Ji Tangdan with a birthday gift, they would not just change the topic to other places out of their own curiosity.  As for Yang Yi, he could not be said to have turned a deaf ear to the glances around him that were looking at him with great interest, but he could also be said to be as indifferent as a floating cloud.  Seeing the unfazed look of the younger junior brother, the remaining people nodded and secretly cheered for their teacher's look.  Ji Tangdan probably felt that he had earned enough face, and Yang Yi was neither arrogant nor humble just now, which had obviously caused some different waves in the eyes of his other students, so he no longer felt awkward and faced Yang Yi  Nodding: "Bring it to me and see, what kind of book is it? It's worth treating as a treasure." Although the old gentleman is more old-fashioned and has strict requirements on the students, he does not restrict their attitude towards himself.  There is no need to kneel down and offer gifts, just wait for Yang Yi to hold them up.  Yang Yi didn’t answer, but smiled and offered what he had in his hand. However, he still couldn’t help laughing, so he put on a meaningful smile at the corner of his mouth.  Ji Tangdan needs reading glasses when he is old, but there are a few people next to him. They observe very carefully and catch a glimpse of the smile on Yang Yi's mouth.     Huh?  Could it be that it's still something extraordinary?  This time, everyone's curiosity was aroused again.  However, due to etiquette and some literati's reserve, I just managed to hold my butt down.  When I opened the cover of the first book.  Ji Tangdan was still a little careless, but when his eyes fell on the preface, his expression condensed, and then he revealed some unconcealable surprise.     Um?  Sure enough, there is something. At this time, everyone's curiosity was once again aroused to a new level. If Ji Tangdan hadn't been holding on, they would have stepped forward to see what it was that could make him well-read.  The teacher also showed such a look.  "Why you suddenly thought of n-ng?" It sounded like he was questioning, but there were no outsiders in this room. Who else couldn't hear the sigh and emotion in his teacher's tone? Then Ji Tangdan picked up the second  Ben, after flipping through it, put on an expression of "As expected" and "You're such a brat".  Then, before Yang Yi came back, Ji Tangdan was confused again: "How much did it cost? Don't think that after publishing a few books and making a few small bucks, we started spending money lavishly and not taking money seriously.  Although you can't be enslaved by money, you can't develop the bad habit of spending money. You report the cost to me, and I will transfer it to your account at that time. " Huh?  cost?  transfer?  A few thoughtful people have vaguely guessed the content of this book, but they are not sure.  Only Yang Yi couldn't laugh or cry: "Teacher, didn't you have something wrong with your head something something something like that? When your collection is published, we have to pay you royalties. Why do we need you to spend money in return?"  , Yang Yi's senior brothers and sisters all showed expressions of surprise.  Now that the truth was revealed, the few people in the underground were no longer restrained. Looking at Ji Tangdan's eyes indicating permission, they passed the book around.  Antique cover, exquisite binding, and good paper.  In order to make the book look more comfortable, Yang Yi deliberately left more white space around it, making it look extra grand.  And this set of nineteen??Books have been Ji Tangdan's life's work. Although he is not yet a prolific author, each of them is the work of the old man's painstaking efforts. Although it is not visible to the ears of ordinary people, in academic circles, it is  It is a very famous work.  Such works are of course of great cultural value, but in terms of commercial value, the two are not on the same level.  It can even be said that there are some difficult and obscure works among them that no one except researchers of Chinese studies and history will even take a look at. If they were printed, the booksellers would almost certainly lose money.  "But Yang Yi didn't consider this at all. Instead, he designed and planned the old man's life's hard work from beginning to end, and then published it.  Such a gift can undoubtedly show his sincerity and respect for his master.  Therefore, with Ji Tangdan's weird temper, he couldn't help but feel a little lost the first time he saw these books, and he was obviously stunned.  "Junior brother, I have to talk about you." Seeing his teacher suddenly sighing sadly, the man sitting under Ji Tangdan suddenly laughed: "You have done such a unique thing today  "Big gift, let us senior brothers and sisters have the nerve to take out birthday gifts. This is not okay, it has made us so embarrassed, we have to compensate us." Yang Yi's senior sister Zhaoying seems to have a good impression of her junior brother.  Hearing this, he drawled his voice angrily: "Oh, Senior Brother Yi Zhang is so embarrassed that he didn't prepare the gift for the teacher carefully, and now he raised the junior brother up as a target. You are a golden cicada, but you are very familiar with it.  "Senior Brother Yi Zhang smiled. He didn't mean to blush at all. Instead, he said frankly: "That's right. I'm just trying to get wise. By the way, you don't know yet, so I want to tell you.  I'm afraid you won't say that if you know my junior brother's background. "It's very free and easy, not secretive at all, which makes Yang Yi quite funny, but he doesn't feel dissatisfied at all.  "Forget it, you think you are the only one who is well-informed?" Zhaoying rolled her eyes at him helplessly: "I know a lot more about my junior brother's grades than you do about "Those Things About the Song Dynasty," right? And "Those Things About the Song Dynasty"  "Shennong Code" is also right? You like to hang out the most, but it is also someone else's property" The senior brother who initially used Yang Yi as a "target" obviously only knew the first two pieces of information. He also saw his junior sister  They all knew it, so he grinned rather sarcastically.  But when he heard that Lian was also Yang Yi's property, the expression on his face froze for a moment.  Although this stagnation was short-lived, for a free and uninhibited true scribe like him, it was tantamount to letting go of his inner defenses. Even Senior Brother Yi Zhang himself could not remember the last time he was moved by an accident.  , what time has it been?  It was obviously Ji Tangdan's birthday party, but several students and disciples talked about it and turned the topic to Yang Yi.  A certain reborn person didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Although he can stand here now, standing in a place where these real celebrities and famous people gather together, only he knows what kind of means he used to be lucky enough to be ranked side by side with them.  It was precisely because of the little bottom line in his heart that he felt very embarrassed. He thought that the old man Ji Tangdan would not say anything and take care of it. What does this involve now? But obviously his wish failed.  Seeing that the disciple he had accepted in his seventies was actually recognized and liked by the students, the old man became very proud and happy.  Moreover, this set of birthday gifts just now can be said to be what Ji Tangdan had in mind. A well-established scholar who has published books does not have much other thoughts besides making his works famous. Now this gift from Yang Yi,  I did something that Ji Tangdan had planned to do for a long time, but had always been tied up in trivial matters and could not do it for one reason or another.  When he was in a good mood, he didn't bother to restrain his disciples from talking about anything. Moreover, the other students were all familiar with each other. There was only one Yang Yi, who had been studying with him for more than half a year, and he had not been allowed to see him.  Senior brothers and sisters.  In Ji Tangdan’s view, since Yang Yi plans to embark on a path of cultural renaissance, in addition to doing business and establishing territory, he must also involve the circle of learning.  The former is the underlying basic building, while the latter is the key element that can make it truly famous.  Although a certain literary and artistic work that can truly be passed down must have its own connotation, it cannot do without someone's help and cheers.  Although his external appearance is old-fashioned and even a bit old-fashioned, the old man knows everything in his heart and is quite protective.  So now that I saw the fellow apprentices chatting happily, I simply watched happily from the side, which could be regarded as helping Yang Yi to set up connections in disguise.  Well intentioned. ?… ?  Those who were able to come to Ji Tangdan's house early without being invited were the people close to the old man. The remaining guests only arrived near noon.  Between not paying attention to tradition and etiquette, and possibly making the elderly unhappy, it is natural to choose the former.  As the saying goes, guests do as the host does, and when in a country, do as the Romans do. Since the elderly do not want to be disturbed too much, they can only follow the host's wishes.  And as the guests began to arrive, the task that was originally his senior sister Zhaoying's duty to serve tea and water to welcome them and send them off was undoubtedly transferred to him.
