Chapter Thirty-Eight: Azure Apprenticeship (Part II)
After Yin Qianhe and Xiang Tianqing chatted about apprenticeship, the two washed and rested separately. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The next day, Xiang Tianqing still got up early in the morning as usual. Since he lived in the Yin family, he has always been committed to not causing trouble to the Yin family.
Except for the workshop and the small courtyard outside the workshop, he never walked around anywhere else. He never eats at Yin's house. Although the Yin sisters invited him to dine with him three times and twice, he would politely decline each time, and then go to the street to find something cheap to eat.
After he came, the earliest person in the Yin family changed from Yin Qianyi to him. When Yin Qianyi gets up early to do things, she will see that he is already cleaning the yard. At first, Yin Qianyi felt very unhappy, after all, he was a guest, so he competed with him to clean up, but then he couldn't resist him, so he acquiesced to his help and handed over the work to him. After cleaning the yard and tidying up the workshop, the clean and tidy workshops that the workers come to see every day are actually the fruits of his labor.
In order to save money, he never eats breakfast and starts making clothes after cleaning. And these days there is one more thing, and that is to do gymnastics. He has to do gymnastics three times a day, and he gets up early and does it himself once to drive away drowsiness; During the day, I followed Yin Qianhe with everyone to restore my spirit; Do it again at night before going to bed to drive away the tiredness of the day. This is the ordinary life he struggled in Beijing.
At the moment, he is satisfied with having a job that can support himself, not to mention that this job is still what he likes to do. But he never forgot the purpose of his coming to Beijing, which was to learn from a teacher and then become a first-class tailor. When he first came to the capital, he had already visited several famous tailors, but people were unwilling to accept him, so he had to come to the Yin family to work out of the compulsion of life.
Yin Qianhe's words last night made him feel hope again. Tailor Wang is also famous in this area, and many people know that he is good at craftsmanship. These days in the Yin family's workshop, although he didn't make a few clothes, Xiang Tianqing is an insider, and a little identification can show that he is not empty. If only I could worship him as a teacher.
The workers came one after another according to their usual hours, and when the tailor Wang and his family appeared at the door, everyone took the initiative to greet them.
"Yo, Master Wang is here."
"Shui Bi is dressed in bright clothes today, did she make it yourself?"
For these greetings, Tailor Wang nodded with a slight smile, and Wang Shuibi just walked to his position, only Deng would proudly pull a few words with the person who greeted him.
"It's been so early for everyone, and it's all been hard."
Like a steward's wife, although Tailor Wang is only a steward of a small workshop, Deng has also experienced the joy of living on people here that he has never experienced before, and there are more than a dozen workers at the bottom.
Xiang Tianqing saw Tailor Wang today, and suddenly had a strange sense of fear, and he didn't dare to take the initiative to greet him. However, when the tailor saw him looking at him inexplicably, he smiled first and said goodbye.
Xiang Tianqing hurriedly put down his things and stood up, and replied respectfully, "Master Wang is early."
I wish I could get the first word out of this sentence soon.
The workers took their positions and continued with yesterday's work. Sister-in-law Lu picked up the needle and thread and was about to ask Tianqing for help.
I saw her smiling, twisting her waist and walking towards Tianqing, "Tianqing, I forgot the oblique needle I said yesterday, can you help me sew this skirt again." ”
Xiang Tianqing habitually prepared to take the skirt, but Yin Qianhe's timely appearance reminded him.
"Oh, sister-in-law, it's not suitable to use a diagonal needle here. As for what to use, you should ask Master Wang, he knows a lot more than me. ”
He didn't say this by slapping the king's tailor on the back, but that he really thought he was far behind. Although his craftsmanship is already very good, because he is too young and comes from the countryside, his experience and insight are naturally not as good as that of the tailor Wang who grew up in the capital. To put it bluntly, the tailor ate more salt than he ate, and made more styles of clothes than he had ever seen.
Sister-in-law Lu put away her smile and complained, "Didn't you help them all sew, why didn't you help me sew?"
Xiang Tianqing saw that his words had upset others, and he immediately panicked, and couldn't say why, so he had to apologize repeatedly.
Yin Qianhe, who saw all this in his eyes, was relieved that Xiang Tianqing finally had the courage to refuse others. But his jerky little methods are really unbearable to look at, and the slightest objection from others will be defeated. It seems that it is necessary to promote his master-apprenticeship with the tailor Wang as soon as possible.
Yin Qian didn't care about him, walked straight to Tailor Wang, and said to Tailor Wang: "Master Wang, please go out with me, I have something to tell you." ”
"Oh, good."
Tailor Wang followed Yin Qianhe out of the house, and the two stood in the courtyard and talked. Deng was suspicious and followed the window to observe the situation. She kept her eyes open and stared at them, not daring to blink. I don't know why she is so distrustful of her husband, or so confident, she feels that Yin Qianhe has taken a fancy to him.
Aunt Li came over and whispered: "What is it not good to say in front of us, you have to go out alone to say it?" ”
Deng replied in a strange voice, "Yes." ”
For the ordinary thing of Yin Qianhe and Tailor Wang going out to talk, the unintentional people don't care, they just take care of their own business.
And those who have a heart have their own thoughts, and they can't do anything at ease. Deng is one, and Xiang Tianqing is one. The psychology of the two is different, but their performance is almost the same, Xiang Tianqing is also full of doubts, and he looks out at every turn.
The stared person had no idea what was going on inside, and went back to the house after saying what he had to say. When the two of them entered the room, they unconsciously looked at Tianqing, and Yin Qianhe even smiled at him. Xiang Tianqing's heart "knocked" a little, was she really helping him say about apprenticeship?
Deng hurriedly approached Tailor Wang and asked, "What did Miss Yin tell you?" ”
Tailor Wang said impatiently: "It has nothing to do with you, what do you ask?" ”
"I'll just ask, what are you murdering? Is there anything that can't be seen? ”
"Don't talk nonsense."
"Then you can tell me about it, if something happens, maybe I can help a little."
Tailor Wang was afraid that the Deng family would be annoyed all the time, so he told her what Yin Qianhe said.
"Are you serious? Want to accept that stupid and stupid Xiang Tianqing as an apprentice? ”
"Where are people stupid? I'm afraid his skills are not much worse than mine, and I'm worried that I won't be able to be his master. ”
"The craftsmanship is okay, but after all, it's an uninformed, and it's a fuss when you see anything. If you want to accept him, you haven't confiscated the apprentice anyway, but the apprenticeship can't be less. ”
"What apprenticeship? Just toast the bowl of tea. ”
"How can it be so cheap? Master is just like Dad, how can he not be divided into generations and not pay attention to etiquette? You're embarrassed to say, so I'll go tell him. ”
Before Tailor Wang could stop her, she walked up to Xiang Tianqing and shouted, "Tianqing, I heard from our master that you want to worship him as a master. There are rules for our apprenticeship in the capital, I don't know if you understand? ”
