Chapter 30: Master and Apprentice
More than a month has passed since the opening of the shop, and Bai Mingqiu's life has become a little busy.
Every day as usual to get up boxing, farm work, boil the body, after breakfast to go to the store, do some carpentry skills, sometimes for people to make some wood carving, these are done, it is close to the evening, and Huiyin sister after a meeting, when the stars and the moon shine, he returned home.
Although he is busy, it is not inseparable, Bai Mingqiu's carpentry work seems to have reached its peak, and it doesn't take much time to make a quantitative amount of Zuò every day, and once people are busy, their spirit will be different from their leisure time, even Huiyin said that Mingqiu has a good complexion recently.
Shotimaru often wanders around the store, Reimu and Marisa also visit from time to time, and Huiyin Meihong doesn't come here much, anyway, the three of them meet every day, so they rarely come here during the day.
Barnyard Aqiu is very enthusiastic about Bai Mingqiu's carpentry shop, and he will visit every day during this time.
Outside the door of the Bai carpenter, a small carriage was parked on one side, and on it sat an elderly coachman, who was leaning sleepily on the back of the horse with his eyes half-closed.
Inside the door, a demure girl with elegant purple hair and a young man with a gentle smile sat opposite each other.
The time of Ah Qiu's selection is after four o'clock in the afternoon, when the people who are busy with the farm are about to return home, everyone is about to have dinner, and the shop is not in business, so it will not hinder Bai Mingqiu's business, and this alone can see Ah Qiu's gentle nature for the sake of others.
"Mr. Bai, is that really not allowed?"
Ah Qiu had a pitiful look on his face, and his deep purple eyes containing reincarnation were full of sincerity.
Bai Mingqiu pursed his lips, looking very embarrassed.
Ah Qiu blinked and stared at Bai Mingqiu.
"Ah Qiu really likes wood carving, and some time ago, he specially mentioned Mr. Bai's wood carving to everyone at the old family meeting, and called on everyone to buy it."
It turned out that there was a few days when Bai's carpentry suddenly became popular, because of Ah Qiu's recommendation.
"Thanks, Aqiu." Bai Mingqiu said softly, "But... I still can't say yes to you. ”
"Uhhh
Ah Qiu looked like he was crying.
Bai Mingqiu gritted his teeth, he really couldn't stand this girl who was kind to him so desolate.
"Okay, okay, I'll agree, okay?"
"Huh?" Ah Qiu's eyes lit up.
"But, there's one thing I want to emphasize."
"Huh?"
"Abeg, you don't have to call me Master in the future, and I won't treat you as a disciple, we are still equal to each other."
“…”
Barnyard Tian Aqiu has become interested in wood carving since she saw Bai Mingqiu's wood carving, Bai Mingqiu's wood carving seems to have opened a new world to her, like such a wonderful skill, she also wants to learn it, but because of her busy affairs, she has no opportunity to consult Bai Mingqiu.
Coincidentally, Ah Qiu recently finished writing about the origin of Gensokyo and was thinking about whether the son of Yu Ali should continue to be reincarnated, and he was depressed and depressed, and it happened that Bai Mingqiu's carpentry shop opened, and suddenly, Yu Jie's spirit found a direction to pour out - to learn the method of wood carving from Bai Mingqiu.
But Bai Mingqiu, a gentle and considerate man on weekdays, categorically rejected her today.
But this aroused the persistent Ah Qiu's thoughts, and he simply took out the coquettish Dafa that he hadn't used for a long time because he was precocious, Bai Mingqiu still didn't eat this set, and finally Ah Qiu was so anxious that he couldn't help it, so he pretended to cry before Bai Mingqiu agreed.
But...
"Huh? Master? ”
"Yes, there is a saying in the Heavenly Empire, one day is a teacher, and a lifetime is a father. And I've always been commensurate with your peers, if you suddenly worship me as a teacher, I will be very embarrassed..."
Bai Mingqiu frowned, with a look of embarrassment.
Ah Qiu laughed out loud.
"Mr. Bai... Haha, hahaha. ”
Seeing that Ah Qiu couldn't stop laughing, Bai Mingqiu was very helpless, and he didn't know what he said wrong.
In the final analysis, Bai Mingqiu's life is still very short, in the previous six lives, he had never been someone else's teacher, teaching others skills or anything. He has worshipped many masters, so he has formed his own concept of master and apprentice - if you want to learn something, you must first become a disciple of others.
When I came to Gensokyo, only Demon Dream asked me for skills, but Demon Dream said "learning", which is naturally different from apprenticeship, and there are many novelties in Demon Dream's knife skills that Bai Mingqiu is very interested in, so the two can only be called learning from each other.
As soon as Ah Qiu entered the door today, after a little greeting, he said to Bai Mingqiu with an eager face: "Mr. Bai, please teach me wood carving skills!" ”
This scared Bai Mingqiu, although his wood carving skills are really good, but when it comes to teaching people, he only feels that he has too many deficiencies and can't be a teacher, so he refuses Ah Qiu, and then Ah Qiu is coquettish in every way, and his cuteness is not enough for outsiders, but Bai Mingqiu is still unmoved, until she is about to cry.
Bai Mingqiu sighed, lamenting that he still couldn't see women's tears.
But seeing that Ah Qiu in front of him was smiling without a ladylike demeanor, Bai Mingqiu didn't know why, so he asked, "Ah Qiu, did I say something wrong...?" ”
"No, no!" Ah Qiu narrowed his dark purple eyes, "I just feel that Mr. Bai, who has always been mature and reliable, also has such a rigid and cute side, thinking about it, I can't help but laugh." ”
“…”
Bai Mingqiu was speechless, and only one sentence came out for a while, "Ah, please be happy." ”
Since she had discussed this matter with Bai Mingqiu, Ah Qiu made an appointment with Bai Mingqiu for the next meeting, and then drank the black tea that Bai Mingqiu specially prepared for her, and got up to say goodbye.
Bai Mingqiu sent Ah Qiu to the door, she evoked the sleeping old coachman in harmony, calmed the old coachman's somewhat frightened apology, and then bowed to Bai Mingqiu.
"Then, the disciple Barnyard Tian Aqiu will leave, Master, there will be a period later."
"Hey, Aqiu! What if you don't call Master? ”
"Master, if you don't say it, I can't remember it."
Ah Qiu's dark purple eyes were sly and cute, and without waiting for Bai Mingqiu to say anything, she turned over and got into the carriage, and the old coachman whipped and set off.
Bai Mingqiu sent Ah Qiu away, his face seemed to be a little annoyed, but the corners of his mouth were unconsciously hooked.
Although it doesn't match his original intention, it's good if Ah Qiu is happy.
Ah Qiu has the same illness and pity as himself, for this sad girl, Bai Mingqiu always has a heart of pity, and it is one thing that Bai Mingqiu wants to do very much.
He smiled, but he thought of the fate of this girl who was quiet and elegant in appearance and optimistic and cheerful in nature.
As a human being, it takes a lot of energy and energy to be reincarnated, not only does he not live to be thirty years old, but he also has to work hard for a hundred years with the king of Yama, and the most unfortunate thing is that after reincarnation, all other memories will be forgotten except for the memories of history and knowledge.
In other words, even if Ah Qiu, who reappears more than a hundred years later, is no longer the gentle lady who is knowledgeable and reasonable, but someone else.
Thinking of this, Bai Mingqiu let out a long sigh.
