Chapter 208 Teaching
In the evening, in the study, Prince Ye was writing the content of the professor's homework for tomorrow.
A guard walked into the room with a steady pace, carrying the gleaming sword. He stood straight, knelt on one knee, and raised the sword high with both arms like an eagle spreading its wings. He said respectfully, "Your Highness, Master Su Yu's sword is finally complete."
When King Ye heard this, a hint of joy suddenly flashed in his eyes. He stood up impatiently, walked quickly to the sword, and picked up the sword carefully.
He gripped the hilt tightly and slowly drew out the exquisite scabbard. In an instant, a brilliant light poured out like a waterfall. The sword body was long and slender, like a nimble dragon. The pointed tip of the sword was a sharp triangle, as if it could pierce the sky. There was also a unique sense of design faintly revealed on the sword body.
A closer look revealed two large and very elegant characters engraved on the sword - "Liu Guang". The font made it clear at a glance that the sword owner was unrestrained.
The hilt of the sword is designed with exquisite flowing cloud patterns, and each cloud is lifelike, as if it will float in the wind at any time.
King Ye looked at this light and slender sword that he had never seen before, and couldn't help but admire it in his heart. As expected, the sword was as its name suggested, emitting a sense of otherworldly brilliance.
He walked to the open space outside the study with joy, raised the sword lightly in his hand, and began to dance. The sword seemed to come alive in his hand, flying up and down with his movements, flashing dazzling light.
After the dance, he swung his hand, and the sword shot straight into the thick tree trunk beside him like an arrow, three inches deep into the wood, without a single millimeter of error.
King Ye slowly pulled out the sword and carefully examined the sword body. There was not the slightest damage at all. It was still as smooth and clean as new and extremely sharp. It was indeed a rare and good sword.
At this moment, Anhuo, who had received twenty lashes, was dragging his tired body slowly to the outside of the study. When he saw this shocking scene for the first time, a hint of surprise suddenly flashed in his eyes, and then he was secretly amazed.
He couldn't help but say, "Your Highness, this sword is really good."
King Ye turned his head, looked at Anhuo with a smile and said, "This sword was designed by Su Yu."
Anhuo was secretly surprised. It turned out that this was the sword forged by his apprentice. He didn't expect it to be so powerful.
He said: "Your Highness, we have really found a treasure this time." His apprentice was the treasure.
King Ye nodded in agreement and said: "Yu'er, this is indeed a treasure, and the sword is really good. After Yu'er gets the sword, I will close the blacksmith shop and the craftsmen will be directly employed in the Ministry of Works. Tomorrow, this king will go to the palace to meet the emperor and report this matter."
Anhuo said: "Your Highness is wise."
In the space, Su Yu circulated the spiritual power around his body like an old monk in meditation. He tried hard to absorb the spiritual energy in the space and devoted himself to practicing the fifth level of "Wudao Jue". It was not until there was a knock on the door outside that Su Yu opened his eyes.
If Su Yu had a very clear mirror at this moment, he would find that his eyes were more lively than before, which was also a great improvement to his temperament.
After Su Yu left the space, washed and dressed, he started a new day of physical training.
Time passed quickly and before he knew it, it was already noon. In the flower hall, Su Yu hurriedly finished his meal. He had to go to see his teacher to study today, so he couldn't go too late.
Su Yu ordered: "Xie An, go to the study and pack a set of writing materials, and take the Four Books and Five Classics with you. Then we will harness the horses and set off for Jiang Mansion."
Xie An replied, "Okay, master," and then hurried to the study.
Su Yu looked at Madam Jiang and said, "Grandma, where exactly is your home? Is it far away?"
The Queen Mother... "Well, old ladies usually ride in a horse-drawn carriage, and I don't know how to get there."
Well, how would she know where that brat of hers lived? He didn't live in the royal palace, but ran away to live in a small farm. She had only heard of him and had never been to her youngest son's farm.
Yue Ren, the guard behind the Queen Mother, thought to himself that he knew the place, but he had to protect the Queen Mother and couldn't run around casually.
Master Anhuo came to the rescue at the right time and said: "Master knows, Master will take you there."
Su Yu smiled happily and said, "Thank you, Master."
After Xie An harnessed the carriage and everything was ready, the carriage slowly drove onto the bustling West Street. The master was directing the direction in front of the carriage. Su Yu lifted the curtain and looked at the scenery along the way, silently memorizing the route to the teacher's house.
Until they arrived in front of a mansion in the east of the city. There were two big characters "Jiang Mansion" written on the plaque. The strokes were vigorous and powerful, and there was a hint of majesty. Su Yu thought, this must be the place.
Sure enough, he heard the driver in front of the carriage say, "This is it." After the carriage stopped, Su Yu jumped out of the carriage with a basket of books on his back.
The servant Xie An said: "Master, let me carry it on your back."
Just as Su Yu was about to say no, the gate of Jiang Mansion opened and three servants hurried out.
A servant said attentively: "Mr. Su, leave the carriage to me. I will make sure to feed it with the best fodder."
Another attendant said, "Master Su, let me carry the book basket." Then he helped Su Yu take down the book basket and put it on his back.
The third attendant said: "This must be Mr. Su's servant, let's all go in first. The servant will follow me to the side hall to have some tea and some cakes."
Su Yu was a little confused by their enthusiasm, and An Huo was even more confused. He had never seen anyone receive such treatment in the mansion!!!
Anhuo thought to himself, the prince really loves his disciple.
What Anhuo didn't know was that this wasn't just painful, it was really painful.
Early this morning, Prince Ye gathered everyone in the mansion and told them that whenever they saw his disciple Su Yu from now on, they should treat him like a young master and regard him as half his son.
From now on, anyone who dares to disrespect Su Yu will be expelled from the mansion, and someone will be waiting at the gate.
Finally, it was Anhuo who spoke to Su Yu: "Let's go to the study first."
So Anhuo led the way in front, and Su Yu followed behind. They crossed the exquisite hanging flower gate and walked along the winding corridor. Su Yu exclaimed as he walked, "This house is so big."
The two of them walked straight to the door of King Ye's study. Two guards with swords were still standing on both sides of the door.
Seeing the two people coming, a guard immediately said with a smile: "Mr. Su, please wait a moment, I will go in and report."
Su Yu said: "Okay, thank you for your help."
Su Yu thought, wow, the house is already so big, and there are guards guarding the study. It looks like they are indeed a wealthy family. No wonder when I went to his house to express my gratitude, I brought a big box of gifts. No wonder he is so generous.
The guard stepped into the study cautiously, knelt on one knee and said respectfully, "Your Highness, Master Su has arrived outside the door."
Prince Ye was originally concentrating on the memorial in his hand. When he heard the news, he was delighted. He quickly put down what he was holding, stood up, and went to greet his treasured apprentice with an expectant look on his face.
Prince Ye hurriedly strode out of the study. Seeing Su Yu from a distance, he quickly stepped forward and said, "Yu'er, come with me. I have prepared an excellent place for studying."
Su Yu said happily after hearing this: "Okay, thank you very much, Master."
Prince Ye asked with concern as they walked. He knew that he had to understand his disciple's learning situation first in order to better guide his progress. So he asked, "By now, I believe you have finished reading all the important classics such as the Four Books?"
Su Yu stood respectfully to the side, his demeanor becoming increasingly solemn as he replied, "Teacher, I have indeed successfully completed all of the Four Books. Of the Five Classics, I have only finished The Book of Rites."
Prince Ye nodded slightly, and after a moment's silence, he said, "Well, then I can roughly understand your study progress."
At this moment, King Ye thought to himself that his disciple's study progress seemed to be a little slow. He couldn't help but wonder how his previous teachers had taught him.
The two continued to move forward, and soon they came to a very secluded courtyard. King Ye stopped and said solemnly: "This is the study place that I have specially prepared for you. You can concentrate on studying here in the future."
Su Yu followed him in. There was a wooden table for studying, cushions on the floor for sitting, and a table for lectures. There was also a meditation incense burning on the table, which smelled very pleasant.
There are also ancient paintings hanging on the wall, and the indoor lighting is very good. The bamboo curtains on the side are rolled up, and you can see the bamboo branches outside. The environment is very quiet.
King Ye asked: "Do you still like it?"
Su Yu replied: "Thank you for your trouble, teacher."
King Ye said: "Yu'er, please sit down first."
Su Yu saw that the pen, ink, paper and inkstone were all laid out, but it was not the pen from his home. This pen was obviously a top-quality pen, and even the root of the brush was made of jade.
His bookcase had been placed next to the table, and it was obvious that it had not been opened yet.
Prince Ye also noticed his gaze, and he said: "Yu'er, I have everything here. You don't need to bring pens, ink, and books with you. I will prepare them for you. You can leave your books at home and review them. Come back to me after you finish reading them."
Su Yu said: "Thank you, teacher."
