60. Forget the New Year's handover
Early the next morning, without waiting for Xiang Ange to think about how to speak to the old man, and even after the old man was not happy, he discussed with Gongzi Jin and let Antai live here, and he still lived on the master's side. After all, according to the ancient rites, as an apprentice, he should always serve by the master's side until the day he leaves the school.
As a result, before Xiang Ange could speak, Gongzi Jin had already carried a simple red bag, filled two jars of wine in it, and followed him to Mr. Bian's house. Xiang Ange glanced back at Gongzi Jin's appearance, and felt that his leisurely appearance was really not compatible with the red bag in his hand, and the bag knew at a glance that it was a supermarket or where it was gifted, and there was a LOGO printed on it, and the jar inside also looked gray, he didn't say it was a wine jar, and Xiang Ange thought it was hiding sauerkraut.
Gongzi Jin didn't care about Xiang Ange's tangled appearance at all, Shi Shiran followed him in, Mr. Bian was checking the situation of herbs in the courtyard, and taught a few little disciples in a loud voice: "Are you all pig brains, how many times have I taught it, you have to put it away and wait for it to dry in the shade, you see, this is all done and lost powder, this is how your master usually teaches you......"
Yes, the old man must be in good health, full of energy, but his temper is still not good, and his mood is not very good. Xiang Ange walked in hard and called out to the master.
Mr. Bian saw that it was him, although his face was still gloomy, but he didn't scold directly, and stood in the hall with his hands behind his back to take the exam.
Xiang Ange hurriedly cheered up and answered one by one, for fear that he had said something wrong, after a while, seeing that he was answering fluently, this time was indeed thoughtful, not wasted, Mr. Bian eased his face, and showed a little smile: "It's okay, it's better than those few." ”
Xiang Ange breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he had passed the first level, and hurriedly said, "Master, I will work hard." ”
Old Mr. Bian nodded, only then did he notice that Xiang Ange was followed by a person, and when he saw his appearance clearly, he couldn't help but frown, and then asked, "Ange, who is this?" ”
Xiang Ange hurriedly introduced: "Master, this is Gongzi Jin, my best friend, Zijin, this is my master, Mr. Bian." ”
Gongzi Jin stepped forward, made a very decent junior salute, and said: "The junior has seen Mr. Bian, and the little heart is not respectful, and please don't be surprised by the old gentleman." ”
Mr. Bian didn't care much about what he brought over, but after a closer look, he was surprised, and he didn't care if they were still there, so he took the red bag, carefully put the two jars inside on the table, got closer and smelled it, and then asked: "This is almost a hundred years of tiger bone wine, which is priceless, where did you get it?" ”
Gongzi Jin just smiled and said: "By chance, I just got two altars, and it is not suitable for us to drink such tiger bone wine, so we borrowed flowers to offer Buddha." ”
Mr. Bian showed a trace of hesitation in his eyes, the tiger bone wine that is about to be a hundred years old can be seen to be precious, I am afraid that it is more priceless when put outside, this is still two altars, he is such a plain and unreasonable subordinate, but it is not very good.
Gongzi Jin then said: "Ange is under the old man's door, and he hasn't even given a decent apprenticeship gift, and this is also a part of Ange's heart." ”
Saying this, he put the value of the tiger bone wine on Xiang Ange, who knew that Xiang Ange immediately dismantled the stage next to him: "Then Na Cheng, this is something you worked hard to find, the teacher's apprenticeship, I am ready." ”
Mr. Bian was sighing that the friend around his stupid apprentice was a useful one, who knew that he would sell himself with a word. The old gentleman was helpless, glanced at Gongzi Jin, but still accepted the tiger bone wine, nodded and said: "That's it, I will accept the things, if there is someone around you in need in the future, just bring it." ”
Everyone knows that Mr. Bian is getting older and older, and now he doesn't go out to see a doctor anymore, except for a few old leaders in Beijing, the rest of the people can't even touch his door, let alone anything else. Although tiger bone wine is precious, it is not a life-saving medicine in the end, and Mr. Bian's promise is worth it.
Gongzi Jin also nodded in agreement, but in his opinion, he never used this promise. However, when Mr. Bian saw him like this, he had a good impression of him a little more in his heart, and felt that he was not a pretentious person, he hated most that some people clearly wanted to get benefits from their side, but they still had to pretend to be benevolent and righteous, and they were disgusting.
After accepting the tiger bone wine, Mr. Bian was also in a good mood, and turned his head to ask Xiang Ange: "You said that you prepared an apprenticeship ceremony, why don't you take it out for me to see?" ”
Xiang Ange's cheeks flushed slightly, compared to the tiger bone wine that Gongzi Jin took out, what he prepared was really average.
I saw Xiang Ange take out a book from his schoolbag, the book is very new, and I know that I just bought it at a glance, although the quality is good, but it is not worth anything.
Xiang Ange handed the notebook to the old gentleman: "Master, during this time, I have compiled some ancient recipes that I have collected, I think you will definitely be interested." ”
When Mr. Bian heard this, he was really interested, although he didn't think that Xiang Ange could collect any precious ancient recipes, but he still turned the notebook, opened it and took a look, this time he looked at it, his face was covered with a look of surprise, turned a few pages, his face became more solemn, and he looked up at his disciple.
Xiang Ange's face was calm and his eyes were clear, Mr. Bian's mind eased, closed his notebook, and asked, "Where did you find these recipes?" ”
The ancient recipe is not so easy to find, since ancient times, Zhongzhou people have the habit of cherishing the broom, and the family of traditional Chinese medicine is even more so, some secret recipes are passed down from generation to generation only male, and it has to be the eldest male grandson, so many things are drowned in the long river of history.
One of the very important reasons why Mr. Bian was able to become a master of traditional Chinese medicine is that the Bian family used to have a background in traditional Chinese medicine, and this part of the heritage was passed on to the old man. So when he saw this simple notebook, Mr. Bian was so surprised, the things in it didn't look like a powerless child could get it.
Xiang Ange was ready to be asked, in fact, he also hesitated to come up with these recipes, but in the end, if these recipes were taken out, maybe they could save more people, and there was another one, he also believed that Mr. Bian was a person, and he would never be estranged from himself because of these recipes, but he still had to make a cover up about the source of the ancient recipe: "I heard grandma say that when there was still turmoil, they picked up from the garbage dump, some of which had been burned as starters, and some of them were kept." ”
When Mr. Bian heard this, he believed it, and couldn't help but be silent, the turmoil hurt them greatly, even now, he still didn't want to recall those hard years, looking at the notebook in his hand, he inevitably showed a little sentimentality: "What about those originals?" ”
Xiang Ange subconsciously glanced at Gongzi Jin next to him, and saw Gongzi Jin's smiling eyes. Where would he have any originals, and after listening to them, he quickly explained: "The originals are too badly damaged, and they haven't been well preserved before, so they can't be read anymore, but fortunately, I wrote them down when I was a child, and now I write them out silently." ”
When Mr. Bian heard this, he also sighed deeply, and secretly felt that Xiang Ange's qualifications were extraordinary, and perhaps there was a role in this batch of medical books, but as everyone knows, his guess is not much different from the truth, but this medical book is not the other medical book.
After sighing with emotion, Mr. Bian carefully put away the notebook, and said, "Your gift is very much to my liking, and the master is very happy." ”
Xiang Ange's cheeks flushed slightly, after all, it wasn't his credit either. He scratched his head and said with a smile: "If the master likes it, it's fine." ”
Mr. Bian saw that he was not proud, but he was even more satisfied, and said with a smile: "You, you, as the old grandson said, is a sincere child, and he is also lucky, and the friends around him look very good." ”
This is by the way to praise the son of Jin, it seems that because of the tiger bone wine, the old gentleman has a good impression of him.
Gongzi Jin smiled slightly, and suddenly asked, "Bian Lao likes to play Go?" ”
It turned out that there was a game of Go on the other side of the window, but it didn't look like it was used very often.
When Mr. Bian heard this, he became interested, and asked with a smile: "If you have time, you will go down, and the children will too." ”
It's not that he said, there are still a few children nowadays who can play chess, and as for Go, it's good to know one, two, three, four, five, don't expect them to really sit down for a few hours.
Gongzi Jin nodded, and said without modesty: "I have learned some." ”
Seeing him like this, Mr. Bian hurriedly said: "That's right, come and talk with me about a game, oops, there are too few people who can play Go, and some are still stinky chess baskets, I haven't enjoyed playing for a long time." ”
Xiang Ange touched his nose next to him, and felt that he was lying down for no reason, and he couldn't play Go or something, but soon, Xiang Ange found something to do for himself, made two cups of tea and brought them to them, and stood next to them in a fight on the chess field.
Mr. Bian played casually at first, after all, Gongzi Jin looked like a child in his early twenties, and he could have some Go attainments, but he still liked this child, and he had no opponent for a long time, so he planned to have a good time.
Who knew that after a few strokes, Mr. Bian became serious, and the person opposite was very strong in chess, definitely not comparable to ordinary people, or even comparable to him.
Of course, Mr. Bian will not know, if Gongzi Jin shows his real skills, he will definitely beat him to the ground with a few efforts, but who let this old gentleman be Xiang Ange's master, he can't not give no face at all, if the loss is too ugly, if the old gentleman is angry and embarrassed, he will not gain more than he loses.
So, in Mr. Bian's view, they are chess opponents equally, the game is called a hearty, although in the end he still lost, but only lost three sons, this kind of physical and mental happiness, after the old brother passed away, there has never been.
After the next plate, Mr. Bian looked at Gongzi Jin with no longer picky eyes, as if he was looking at his own grandson, and he couldn't wait to pull him to have a few more plates.
Still can't stand it anymore, he doesn't know much about Go at all, he watched it for nearly three hours, and the two of them came out of a high, seeing that they finally won or lost, he hurriedly said: "Master, Zijin, it's been so long, let's take a break." ”
Gongzi Jin didn't care, but Mr. Bian stopped doing it, pointed at Xiang An and scolded: "Stinky boy, you can't learn a little." ”
Xiang Ange looked innocently at his master, and gave Gongzi Jin a complaining look, but it was just a game of chess, and he changed from a good apprentice to a stinky boy.
Of course, even if Mr. Bian is willing, Gongzi Jin is not happy, he slowly put down the chess pieces, and said with a smile: "Bian Lao, let's get here today, it just so happens that I bought a house nearby, even if we are neighbors in the future, it is not easy to play chess, if you are always interested, I will definitely follow the rumor." ”
Mr. Bian was happy when he heard it, but he couldn't help muttering in his heart, what kind of person is this Gongzi Jin, the famous second generation in Kyoto, he also knows some of it, but there is really no one with the surname Gong. But it is not a simple matter for an outsider to be able to buy a house near here, and everyone knows that this side is not something that can be bought with money.
Mr. Bian is old and sophisticated, and he didn't ask about it, but just smiled: "Okay, okay, this is what you said, don't be impatient when the time comes." ”
Gongzi Jin said with a smile: "Naturally not, it just so happened that Ange brought his younger brother over, the children are lively, and it is inevitable to make trouble, it is better to let them live with me, so as not to disturb Bian Lao." ”
Mr. Bian was slightly stunned, and subconsciously looked at Gongzi Jin, but Gongzi Jin said very sincerely: "I am alone in Xia, there is only one friend of Ange, and I ask the old gentleman to agree." There is another one, if Bian Lao has an order in the future, Ange can still pass on a word, which is also convenient. ”
Come on, he said all the good and bad things, Bian Lao didn't care about these trivial matters, if he really wanted someone to serve him, those few little apprentices would be enough, but when he saw Gongzi Jin's appearance, he couldn't help but squint his eyes, and suddenly said: "You came here with precious tiger bone wine, won't it just be for my apprentice." ”
Xiang Ange listened to it next to him, and felt that there was something wrong with this, but Gongzi Jin had already said with a smile: "Ange wants to follow the old gentleman with all his heart, if he is gone, my side will be messed up, so I also ask the old gentleman to fulfill it." ”
Mr. Bian didn't excuse him when he saw him, he laughed, and suddenly said, "It's okay, but you still have to accompany me to the next game." ”
Gongzi Jin naturally didn't agree, Xiang Ange was slightly relieved when he looked at it beside him, and glanced up at Gongzi Jin, feeling that this guy was too good at pretending to be a little bit today.
