Chapter Seventy-Six: Accepting Apprentices

"I suddenly want to take you as an apprentice again." Shi Er said, on the fourth watch, he stood in the dark shadow, and Linglong couldn't see his face clearly.

He had also mentioned that he wanted to take her as an apprentice before, but at first she refused, but then she agreed, and he disliked her for being greedy for money, and took back what he said with half a bag of jade.

At this time, I don't know what kind of illness this man has committed, and he mentions the matter of accepting disciples again.

"Why do you want to take me as an apprentice?" Linglong asked.

Shi Er walked out of the dark shadow, took the ivory bone sprinkling gold fan that had just been closed from Linglong's hand, opened it again, looked at the fan above, and said with a light smile: "Just for what you just said, I suddenly felt that if there was an apprentice like you, it would be a wonderful thing." ”

Depreciating the calligraphy and painting that Emperor Taizong was proud of as worthless, isn't it a wonderful thing.

Although Emperor Taizong was not the founding ancestor, he was the great-grandfather of the current saint, and the first emperor was his grandson.

In the Dawu Dynasty, Emperor Taizong's poems and paintings have always been the favorite collection of literati and ink writers, Emperor Taizong never skimped on pen and ink when he was alive, his favorite is to inscribe everywhere, as for his poems and paintings circulating in the black market, it is said that he was excited after hearing about it, and even secretly let people raise the price.

Therefore, his poems and paintings have long been circulated among the people, and they have been spread in a grand manner, which is also the most proud thing of Emperor Taizong during his reign.

The Dawu Dynasty won the world by force, and it was still martial in the early days of the dynasty, until modern times, although the study of Confucius and Mencius was vigorously admired, but the martial style was still among the nobles. After Taizong, there has never been a talented person among the children of the royal family.

Therefore, Emperor Taizong's poems and paintings have become the pride of the Dawu royal family, and Emperor Taizong's poems and his paintings have become legendary works that have been passed down for centuries, as for his skills, it has long been impossible for later generations to comment.

Linglong was confused, and it took a while before she grinned and made a smile that was more ugly than crying.

"Just because I said that Emperor Taizong's paintings are worse than the calligraphy and painting stalls on the roadside, and then you don't think I'm greedy for money, and you want to take me as an apprentice?"

Shi Er nodded solemnly: "Yes, this is not a dream, this is true, don't just be happy, hurry up and kowtow to the teacher." ”

Fortunately, he didn't drink water at this time, otherwise Linglong would have sprayed him all in the face. This person's self-confidence is so strong that he can not blush and his heart beat without believing that she will be willing to be his apprentice.

For the sake of him risking back to Qingjue Villa to steal something for her, Linglong didn't want to hurt his self-esteem, so she said haha: "Thank you, it's better to be exempt, master, I'm not interested in being an apprentice to others." ”

Shi Er's fake face moved, probably frowning, and the delicate performance was beyond his expectations, he thought she would be grateful.

He stared at Linglong meaningfully, and when he saw that she was fiddling with the paperweight, he suddenly realized: "You don't think it's good for me to be an apprentice, do you?" ”

Linglong didn't expect him to ask like this, so she simply smiled: "Yes, being an apprentice and having no salary, what's so fun, I don't want it." ”

Sure enough, this child is also greedy for money, obviously a very fun child, but vulgar and unbearable.

Perhaps it was Linglong's comments on Emperor Taizong's poems and paintings that surprised him too much, Shi Er suddenly wanted to do a good deed every day and save this insatiable but very filial child, so he said: "Be my apprentice, you have a salary, how much do you want?" ”

He really wants to be paid!

Linglong was stunned, but she still shook her head, speaking in her heart, she knew that Shi Er's kung fu was much higher than her, and she knew that he would be able to do light skills by looking at his body, maybe on par with the person who wrote on the fog pavilion. She is now practicing hard every day, and the harder she practices, the more she knows that no matter how hard she works, she will not be able to practice such light skills.

Not only does it require a light body, but it also requires knowing how to exhale, which has long been lost in modern times.

If you worship Shi Er as a teacher, you may really be able to learn real light skills, but in her previous life, Mary Qin made her too miserable, and she instinctively resisted the word "master".

Moreover, she is not only a woman, but also a lady, if she is discovered by Shi Er, it will not be a good thing.

Linglong still shook her head: "I'm used to being alone, you better pick another good material and beautiful quality as an apprentice, we don't have a master-apprentice fate." ”

Many things are like this, if you force it, you can't ask for it; The more you say no, the more the man is begging for nothing.

Shi Er is like this, for the first time in his life, he fell in love with a person and wanted to accept him as an apprentice, so he made an exception to pay for this, but people refused.

Therefore, he thought more than the previous two.

"Give you a good thing every month, and the value is guaranteed to be no less than the last jade cup."

"You don't have to serve the master with tea and water, as long as you do business with me, I will guide you a few tricks when I am in a good mood."

Throwing out two favorable conditions one after another, he peeked at Linglong, and saw that she was still indifferent, so he simply said: "Forget it, kowtow is also exempt, just give the master a cup of tea." ”

Linglong endured it so that she didn't let herself laugh, how much this person wants to be a master.

Shi Er should not be very old, at most about twenty, and a scheming person will not be like him.

"Okay, since you are so sincere, I will do a good deed every day and be your apprentice, but I have conditions, if you agree, then you can do it, if you don't agree, forget it."

Under the moonlight, Shi Er's starry eyes lit up, and Linglong even saw that there were flames in his eyes suddenly jumping.

"Tell me about it." He said.

Linglong looked up at the sky, she had to return to Zhuangzi before dawn, the villagers got up early, if she went back late, it would be easy to be discovered.

"First of all, the monthly money can't be one item, it needs two!"

"Second, if you want to give me that pocket, it will be given as an apprenticeship from the master."

"Third, you can't teach me when you're happy, and don't teach me if you're not happy. I want to learn light skills, the kind of light skills that can write in mid-air. ”

After the conditions were finished, she blinked and looked at Shi Er with big eyes, Shi Er listened very seriously, and when she saw that she didn't say anything, she asked:

"Anything else?"

Linglong thought about it, but she really couldn't think of anything else, so she said, "It's gone." ”

"What's so difficult about this, it's all right for the teacher, find a teahouse, you can give tea to the teacher."

Linglong looked up at the night again, the fourth watch, and couldn't delay any longer.

"Jianghu people don't use these vulgar rituals, I have tea here", she took out the water bag on her waist, but remembered that she had drunk it all for Qi Shi Er, so she said with a smile, "The tea is gone, or you just make a show, take a sip, and I will give you tea, okay, master." ”
