195 Apprentice (two more)
"But don't you want Chunwei? Where can I have so much time to teach me? Do you still have to take the exam?" Xiaojingkong is not so easy to compromise.
This came to Gu Jiao's heart. Now the most important thing in the family is Chunwei next month. Whether he can be the Gongshi Lady depends on Xiao Liulang's performance.
Xiao Liulang: knew you would say that.
Xiao Liulang said sternly: "I didn't teach you, but Grandpa Aunt taught you, and Grandpa Aunt taught you too."
Xiao Jingkong collapsed on the chair without a soul.
The next day, Xiao Liulang led Gu Xiaoshun and Gu Yan to apprenticeship.
The process of apprenticeship went smoothly, and the other party did not ask for an expensive apprenticeship, and very kindly accepted the two apprentices.
Master's surname is Lu, a man with a national character face, his true age is almost fifty, but he looks less than forty.
Gu Xiaoshun scratched his head and asked Gu Yan in a low voice, "Gu Yan, have you heard of Master's name before?"
Gu Yan shook his head: "No, I only heard of Lu Yuan."
"Who is Lu Yuan?" Gu Xiaoshun asked. He was a bun and didn't know anything about Beijing.
Gu Yan patiently explained: "A master! It's amazing! Although our master is also named Lu, we definitely have nothing to do with that master."
That Master Lu was the most famous craftsman in the Zhao Kingdom, and even the emperor's dragon chair and dragon bed were made by him, which shows how important his position in the Zhao Kingdom is.
There are rumors that the swallows carved by Master Lu can fly, and the fishes carved by Master Lu can swim. What's more, it is said that Master Lu once carved a beauty, and that beauty survived and became Master Lu's wife.
There are so many rumors about Master Lu that can't finish talking about it for three days and three nights.
It's just that the temper of this Master Lu is moody, very weird, and once offended his majesty, and was almost given death by his majesty.
After that, Master Lu retired and stopped taking business from the court.
Some people say that Master Lu changed his name and surname, and changed his place to continue to be a carpenter. Nowadays, many people on the market boast that they sell Master Lu's works.
The two were talking in the yard, and a woman in a cloth skirt came out carrying a dustpan and pickles.
Just by looking at her posture, this woman could be called graceful and graceful, but when she looked at her face... both of them were a little surprised.
It was a face that had been disfigured.
Different from the smooth birthmarks on Gu Jiao's face, this face has interlaced scars, terrifying and terrifying, and those who are less courageous can scare away on the spot.
The two didn't move, and stared at each other for a long time without gaffe.
Gu Jiao often gets blindfolded because of her disability. Gu Yan and Gu Xiaoshun will not treat others like this.
"Who are you?" Gu Yan asked.
His eyes were clear, without a trace of fear or contempt.
The woman smiled.
An ordinary person would feel warm when she laughed, but she didn't. With a smile, all the scars on her face moved, making it even more hideous and terrifying.
She said: "Are you his new disciples? I am your wife."
It turned out to be the teacher's wife.
Seeing that she didn't seem to be lying, they bowed their hands and bowed to him: "Madam."
The woman didn't say yes or no, she just smiled faintly, put a dustpan and pickles on the shelf to dry, then turned and went into the house.
Gu Yan became more convinced that this craftsman surnamed Lu was not Master Lu.
Master Lu's wife is a great beauty, but no one who has seen her is not overwhelmed by her beauty.
His aunt Shu Fei is already a stunning beauty in the sixth house, but it is said that she will still be eclipsed when compared with Master Lu's wife.
Gu Yan and Gu Xiaoshun waited in the yard for a while before Xiao Liulang and Master Lu came out.
"The two children, please." Xiao Liulang arched his hands and said to Master Lu.
Master Lu also gave a slight gift: "Young Master Xiao is polite. I will accompany my wife out these two days and let them come to class in three days."
"Okay." Xiao Liulang responded, and asked Gu Xiaoshun and Gu Yan to say goodbye to Master Lu before getting in the carriage and leaving.
After the three people left, Master Lu planned to go back to the room, and saw his wife Nan Xiang coming out of the room with the curtain.
"The wind is strong, why did you come out?" Master Lu stepped forward, holding his wife's arm with concern and said.
Nan Xiang looked at the carriage that was gradually disappearing at the end of the alley, and asked him: "Why did you suddenly agree to accept a disciple? Isn't it the most annoying to be a master?"
"Oh." Master Lu sighed, "The young man named Xiao Liulang is Feng Lao's apprentice. I owed Feng Lao Qing back then, but this time I just treated it as Feng Lao."
"Old Feng accepts his apprentice?" Nan Xiang pouted his lips. "That old-fashioned man can't even look down on Daru Zhuang, so he can look down on a lame child?"
The Zhuang Daru in her mouth is Zhuang Xianzhi, the fourth master of the banker, who was appointed as the governor of Youzhou some time ago and is now one of the best scholars in the Zhao Kingdom.
Zhuang Xianzhi has always respected Old Feng, hoping to inherit Old Feng's mantle, but unfortunately, Old Feng did not know why he confiscated him as a disciple.
"I think that kid is not bad," Master Lu said, "I don't seem to be an ordinary country kid in conversation."
"Could the person whom Old Feng admired be a simple person?" Nan Xiang smiled faintly, and moved the topic away from Xiao Liulang. "If one favors two apprentices, will it be too costly? ?"
Master Lu said: "It's not that big. If it wasn't for Old Feng's help, I'm afraid I won't be able to meet you in this life. Old Feng is our matchmaker, and I will survive this favor anyway."
Nanxiang was amused.
In front of outsiders, she was a little worried that she was too horrible when she laughed, but she had no worries about this in front of her husband.
She laughed enough, then took Lovejun's hand and said, "I like those two children. The ones who came before are much better."
Gu Xiaoshun and Gu Yan weren't the first two to ask for apprenticeship to learn art. didn't know how many of them had come before. Many of them were talented, but Nanxiang didn't like any of them.
As long as she showed up, those people seemed to have seen a ghost, and some were even scared to pee on the spot by her.
"Xiang'er likes it." He accepts his apprentice regardless of his aptitude, and relies solely on his wife's liking, even if he is an idiot. Not to mention, that pretty young boy named Gu Yan seems to be a fool.
"Teach well," Nan Xiang said, "Don't fool others."
Master Lu cleared his throat: "I know, ma'am."
Regardless of how he promised, he actually has a spectrum in his heart. The carpentry work is hard, tiring, and boring. The average person can't hold on for a few days, up to three months. He can guarantee that the two children will take the initiative to ask him not to study. NS.
When the three of Xiao Liulang returned to Bishui Hutong, they heard the noise in the courtyard all the way. It turned out that Feng Lin and Lin Chengye were here.
There was also an acquaintance who had met in Pingcheng-Du Ruohan.
Du Ruohan was kept at home by his uncle since he returned to Beijing to study, and he was not released during the Chinese New Year. It was still the past few days that his aunt had pleaded with his uncle, and Zhuang Xianzhi allowed him to take a one-day holiday.
Du Ruohan had earlier found out that Feng Lin and Xiao Liulang were studying at the Imperial College. He was not familiar with Lin Chengye and didn't deliberately inquire about Lin Chengye. It was only when he went to the Imperial College to look for Feng Lin today.
According to Du Ruohan, the two of them finally came to the capital. He was the host. Ask them to go to the most famous restaurant in the capital, Zuixianju, to have a big meal, and then rent a painting boat at night, or swim in the lake. , Don't be too happy!
But Feng Lin and Lin Chengye were all thinking of Xiao Liulang and Jiao Niang, mainly thinking of Jiao Niang, especially miss her, must come and see her, so Du Ruohan was also dragged by them.
Xiao Liulang had no feelings for Du Ruohan, but Gu Yan and Gu Xiaoshun were very curious about the guests at home.
"Jiao Niang's younger brother." Feng Lin introduced Gu Yan and Gu Xiaoshun to Du Ruohan, and introduced Du Ruohan to Gu Yan and Gu Xiaoshun. "My and your brother-in-law’s childhood playmates, you are called Brother Du."
Xiao Liulang: You really don't think of yourself as an outsider.
Gu Yan and Gu Xiaoshun greeted the guests.
Gu Jiao went shopping for groceries. Not long after the three came back, she also entered the yard.
She noticed at a glance that there was an additional guest in the yard.
Apparently the guests also found her.
When Xiao Liulang was about to introduce, he heard Feng Lin rushing over and said: "The Jiao Niang is back! What did you buy so heavy? I said that I don't need to buy such dishes! Xiaochengzi, hurry!"
Lin Chengye came over and slipped over the things in Gu Jiao's hands.
Feng Lin said to Du Ruohan: "This is Jiao Niang!" Then to Gu Jiao, "Jiao Niang, he was my neighbor when Liu Lang and I were young. We grew up with the three of us. His name is Du Ruohan. You can call him He has a small belly! His aunt is married to the capital, and now he is barely considered half a citizen of the capital. Next month, he will have a spring with us!"
Xiao Liulang's eyes were cold: When you meet Jiaojiao, you talk a lot! Also, who is the male owner of this house in the end!
Du Ruohan and Xiao Liulang did not know Feng Lin so well. First, he knew Feng Lin for a longer time when he was a child. Second, he always felt that Xiao Liulang was not the same Xiao Liulang from when he was a child.
In short, it's quite strange.
But Xiao Liulang's family is quite easy to get along with.
Especially Aunt Xiao Liulang.
The matter had to start when Du Ruohan came to the door. He was a rational person. Although Feng Lin told him that he didn't need to be too outside, he still bought something and brought it up.
There was a box of fried chestnuts in sugar, but the old lady was so pleased that he called it coldly.
The old lady doesn't put the survival at home now, and she is easily sued by Xiaojingkong. She puts the old sacrificial wine over there.
The old lady felt that the young man was very prosperous and decided to take him to fly.
"Play?" The old lady took out the leaf card from Gu Changqing. The new leaf card felt very comfortable, and the old lady couldn't put it down.
Du Ruohan knew about the leaf card, but his uncle in the mansion would not allow him to play.
Feng Lin can't play, Lin Chengye will.
The old lady called Gu Xiaoshun over.
Gu Xiaoshun, the old lady, Du Ruohan, and Lin Chengye made up a table of leaf cards.
Du Ruohan is novice.
Facts have proved that not every novice has the luck of Gu Changqing. After a game, Du Ruohan loses only his pants.
So the old lady likes him more!
Young man, there is a future!
When lunch was approaching, there was another person at home.
"I'll open it!" Xiao Jingkong opened the door with a da, da da da da da, he stuck a small head out of the door, and blinked at the visitor, "Who are you looking for?"
The man said: "I'm looking for Xiao Liulang."
"Oh." Xiao Jingkong was disappointed.
Why didn't you come to him?
He is no longer a kid without friends!
Xiao Jingkong slowly went to the study and called Xiao Liulang.
Xiao Liulang went to the door. He looked at the man with the goatee in front of him. He was kind and shrewd, well-dressed and well-mannered.
But Xiao Liulang didn't know him: "You are—"
The man arched his hands: "My surname is Wang, and it is good for Young Master Xiao to call me Wang Yun. I have been adored by Young Master Xiao's name for a long time, and Wang came to visit today. Can he enter the house without comment?"
Xiao Liulang glanced at him again and led the person to his study.
Xiao Jingkong is also in his study, working on a problem.
Xiao Liulang said to him: "Take a rest and write later."
Xiao Jingkong looked at him suspiciously: "Why are you so kind suddenly?"
Xiao Liulang: "Jiaojiao made something delicious."
Little headroom is gone!
Wang Yun laughed: "Is this Young Master Xiao's younger brother? Yuxue is really cute."
Is Yuxue cute? That is the appearance, he is actually a real mischievous little monk who makes people crazy.
Xiao Liulang stopped spitting out the little monk in front of outsiders. He asked indifferently: "I don't know what the Lord Wang said when he came home?"
Wang Yun didn't expect Xiao Liulang to be so direct. He was startled, and said with a smile: "Wang came to the door today to discuss an important matter with Young Master Xiao."
Xiao Liulang: "What about Chunwei?"
Wang Yun was surprised again and said with a smile: "Young Master Xiao is really smart, he even guessed this."
Many people have come to Xiao Liulang recently, all for Chunwei's business, but usually they find the Imperial College, and only Wang Yun comes to the door.
Xiao Liulang bluntly said: "I don't have the energy to teach others homework, and I don't have the energy to make a fuss about the topic."
There are no more than two kinds of people who come to Xiao Liulang. One is to ask for advice like Lin Chengye and Feng Lin; the other is to ask the masters to ask the question and let Xiao Liulang make an article according to the topic and sell it to them.
They were all rejected by Xiao Liulang.
Wang Yun looked down and laughed, brushed his sleeves, and said: "I didn't come to ask Young Master Xiao to teach homework for my young master, nor did I come to buy Young Master Xiao's articles. I wanted to invite Young Master Xiao--"
He said the last two words.
