Volume 1 Don't Look Back Chapter 7 Named Disciples
"Would you like to be my student?" Wei Ying's hands were behind him, and he had a superior demeanor.
Hearing Wei Ying's words, Qin Chuan was stunned at first, and then his heart was ecstatic, being able to become Wei Ying's student was simply beneficial and harmless to himself, and when he just wanted to nod, an old voice sounded in Qin Chuan's heart: "If you don't want to be resigned to mediocrity, then don't be his disciple, he is not qualified enough." ”
"Who are you? Why can I hear you? Qin Chuan asked suspiciously in his heart.
"You will understand these questions later, but in short, do not let this person be your preaching teacher." With that, the old voice disappeared.
Qin Chuan shouted in his heart for a long time, but the voice never answered.
Wei Ying stood for a long time, but he didn't hear Qin Chuan's answer, which made him a little surprised, and when he turned his head to look, he found that Qin Chuan was bowing his head with a sad face.
"Qin Chuan, don't you want to be my student?" Seeing that Qin Chuan didn't care at all, Wei Ying was a little angry, if the dignified Qin State Daliangzao wanted to accept students, how many people couldn't ask for it, how could he still hesitate to come to Qin Chuan.
Wei Ying's words woke Qin Chuan from his contemplation, and when he saw Wei Ying with an angry face, Qin Chuan also knew that he was a little out of shape, and suddenly showed a trace of embarrassment, bowed to Wei Ying, and said: "It is the honor of a disciple that the teacher can accept students as disciples, but the old man said that he would not let the students worship Mr. as a teacher." ”
When Shang Ying heard this, his heart suddenly understood, it seemed that there was indeed a master standing behind Qin Chuan, thinking of this, the expression on his face eased slightly, and he hesitated for a moment before saying to Qin Chuan: "Since it is the old man's intention, then I have to comply, but since the old gentleman asked you to sit as my student, it must have a profound intention, in this case, are you willing to be my registered disciple?" ”
Qin Chuan breathed a sigh of relief, and began to shout the voice in his heart, but the old voice did not appear, so he bowed and saluted: "Student Qin Chuan, meet the teacher." ”
Hearing Qin Chuan's words, Wei Ying also showed a smile on his face, their school's requirements for the recruitment of disciples under their sect were not as strict as those of other schools such as Rumo Dao. Whether it's formal or named, there's not much difference.
"Since I have become your teacher, I naturally need to prepare a gift for you, but I am in a hurry today, and I will make up for it for you later, as for the schoolwork, I will also send some bamboo slips to you, and if there is something I don't understand, I will solve your doubts when I am free." Wei Ying stood in front of Qin Chuan, and there was a hint of a smile on his face.
"Do as you are told." Qin Chuan bowed and saluted, and he was also very happy in his heart.
"Let's go, come out of the house with me, I'll take you to buy clothes and have a good meal." Wei Ying took Qin Chuan's hand and walked outside.
"Sir, I can't just go out of the house."
"Then what's the matter, I'm Da Liangzao, I see who dares to stop you."
"Sir, I haven't finished my homework today, and the other gentlemen will punish the students if they find out."
"It's okay, your husband and I are a good man, and the other gentlemen are not as big as me, and what he said doesn't count."
"Sir... Sir..."
Holding Qin Chuan's hand, Wei Ying suddenly had a strange feeling. He thought of his husband, and he also took his hand like this, and traveled around the six countries. For his own questions one after another, Mr. always answered patiently. At that time, I always asked my husband if he was annoying to himself, and he always smiled and shook his head, saying that it was a natural thing for Mr. to teach students, so how could he get bored.
At that time, Wei Ying didn't understand what Mr. meant. Now when he also has students, and the students have questions to ask him, he understands how his husband felt at that time. Not boredom, but a responsibility.
Sir, did you know that the student has also become a gentleman and has his own student. Wei Ying said silently in his heart.
The two of them left the Guogong Mansion with questions and answers. But the guards didn't stop him this time.
Qin Chuan doesn't remember when he left the mansion last time, when he came to the outside of the mansion, looking at the bustling crowd, Qin Chuan's eyes were full of curiosity, although for later generations, this place is not as good as the most depressed county, but for the Qin State in this period, it can be regarded as a relatively prosperous city.
Yongcheng is not a big city, with more than four streets horizontally and vertically, and then the city wall. Although the castle is very small, there are indeed many shops of all kinds, such as firewood, rice, oil, salt, and grocery stores, those who sell medicine, wine, and iron, all of which are called Lion Street, and it is said that there used to be two stone lions on both sides of the street, but now there is no trace of them.
After walking through the entire city, Wei Ying took Qin Chuan to the shop selling cloth and bought a piece of black cloth that felt okay to the touch. The owner of the cloth shop is an old man with a lame leg, and bluntly said that his family's cloth is the best black cloth in Yongzhoucheng.
Nowadays, it is difficult to do business in this world, and the shops that sell cloth not only sell cloth but also tailor-made clothes for customers. While measuring the size, the owner of the cloth shop praised Wei Ying's good eye, bought the best cloth with the least money, and praised Qin Chuan for his delicate appearance, and he would definitely be able to be a big official in the future.
In the Qin State, the costumes of the Chinese people are basically black, so the most sold is black cloth, and the rest of the cloth is basically invisible, and this shop that sells cloth, except for the black cloth is some gray linen, and there is no other cloth. In the words of the boss, clothes made of other fabrics always feel awkward to wear, and black cloth is not only strong, but also dirt-resistant, and easy to clean.
After paying for the time to pick up the clothes, the two left the cloth shop. A few steps further on, there was a liquor shop, the space inside was not too big, a few long tables were placed on the ground several randomly, and a man was listlessly leaning against the corner of the room, squinting and napping.
"Shopkeeper, do you have any alcohol?" Seeing the appearance of the guy, Wei Ying frowned and asked.
Hearing the sound of someone talking, the guy in the store came back to his senses, saw a customer coming to the door, and immediately smiled on his face, and hurriedly came to Wei Ying's side, while wiping the long table with burlap, he asked diligently: "Two guest officers, I don't know what wine you want to drink, our wine here is not only varied, but also affordable, it is definitely the best wine in the whole Yongcheng." ”
"Shopkeeper, come to a jar of Qin wine, a plate of bitter vegetables, and a plate of cooked mutton." Wei Ying interrupted the man's words as he spoke.
Hearing Wei Ying's words, the guys in the store lit up their glasses, and they were calculating the price of these things in their hearts. The smile on his face was even brighter, and he said to the two with a smile: "Don't worry, guest officer, the wine here is definitely the best, wait a while, and the wine will come soon." With that, he quickly ran towards the back.
After listening to the guy's words, Qin Chuan asked with some doubts: "Teacher, is their wine here really that good?" The best in the whole of Yongcheng? ”
"Qin Chuan, the entire Yongcheng sells wine to their family, do you think they are the best?" Wei Ying looked at Qin Chuan with a smile on his face.
Qin Chuan opened his mouth in surprise, but he kept muttering in his heart, Could this be the simple folk customs of the old Qin people?
Soon, the guy put a jar of Qin wine, a plate of bitter vegetables, and a plate of cooked mutton on the table, and said with a courteous face: "Please use it slowly, if you have anything, just greet me." ”
Wei Ying picked up a wine glass, opened the mud seal on the wine jar, first sniffed it, and then poured the wine in the wine jar into the wine glass, and suddenly a smell of wine wafted out of the glass.
"Sure enough, it's authentic Qin wine, and the storage time is definitely not short." Wei Ying sighed in admiration, swallowed the wine in the cup in one gulp, closed his eyes, and waited for the spicy energy of the wine to pass before opening his eyes. Pick up the bitter herbs from the plate with chopsticks, put them in your mouth, chew them slowly, and swallow them into your stomach. There was a look of intoxication on his face.
Qin Chuan looked at the expression on Wei Ying's face and was a little puzzled, are bitter herbs really so delicious? Why do I eat it every day, but I can't eat anything other than feeling bitter.
Wei Ying opened his eyes and looked at Qin Chuan with a blank face, as if he had seen through Qin Chuan's thoughts, and laughed.
"Qin wine with bitter vegetables, the two are eaten together, it is really a must of the Qin country. It's a great aftertaste. Wei Ying explained to Qin Chuan with a smile.
"Do you want to taste Qin wine, it's definitely full of stamina." Wei Ying tempted Qin Chuan.
Just smelling the smell of wine, Qin Chuan knew that this wine was definitely not a good wine, and Wei Ying also said that it was full of stamina, isn't it similar to fake wine in later generations, it is not good to drink.
Qin Chuan's head shook like a rattle. Stretched out his finger and pointed to the mutton on the other plate in the plate, and said to Wei Ying: "It is better for students to eat cooked mutton, and the wine will be left for Mr. to enjoy alone." ”
Looking at Qin Chuan, who was gobbling up mutton, Wei Ying shook his head, drinking Qin wine and eating bitter vegetables by himself.
"Qin wine with bitter herbs is definitely a must-have in the world." An old man's voice came from Wei Ying.
The old man's words immediately attracted the attention of Wei Ying and Qin Chuan, and when they turned their heads to look, they saw a person in gray linen clothes, sitting unkempt in the corner of the wall, and an empty wine jar was thrown next to him.
Qin Chuan glanced at the old man, only to see that the old man was squinting his cloudy eyes, looking like he had just woken up drunk, and then he turned his head and continued to deal with the cooked mutton in his hand, while Wei Ying stared at the old man for a long time, and did not see the clue, so he continued to drink.
"I don't know if the little old man can ask for a glass of Qin wine and a mouthful of bitter vegetables. It would be great if there was a piece of cooked lamb to drink. The old man stood behind the two of them at some point, and said in a somewhat flattering voice.
"You bad old man, why are you still here, be careful that I let the government arrest you, and you have no money to drink. Go and go, go away quickly, and don't disturb other guests to eat and drink. When the man saw the figure of the old man, he immediately ran over from the side angrily and shouted at the old man. Then he explained apologetically to Qin Chuan and Wei Ying: "I'm sorry for the two guest officers, this old man came out of nowhere, he has no money to drink, and he still didn't leave, and he collided with the guest officer, please don't forgive me." ”
After speaking, he pulled the old man and walked out of the store.
"Meeting is fate, the old man just wants to ask for a glass of wine, you are very anxious, wait for the old man to finish drinking this glass of wine, and leave immediately." The old man staggered, and he was also a little angry with the guy.
"Give the old man a jar of Qin wine and a stack of bitter vegetables." Wei Ying said to Xiao'er expressionlessly.
The guy didn't move, as if trying to make sure he had heard it wrong. However, the old man was really anxious, urging the man to hurry up and get the wine and serve the food.
The guy snorted and ran to the back to carry the wine.
The old man sat down opposite Qin Chuan and Wei Ying very unceremoniously, and said to Wei Ying with a smile: "The old man thanked him first, and he has lived half his life, so it's good for this." ”
Wei Ying ignored the old man, while Qin Chuan stared at the old man opposite with a curious expression, and in a trance, he seemed to see the old man's cloudy eyes, and he actually winked at himself, which aroused Qin Chuan's curiosity.
"Who the hell is this old man?" Qin Chuan muttered to himself.
