Chapter 41: The Banquet Conspiracy
Su Ziheng watched it funny from the side, don't look at Xie Qingxuan's superb martial arts, and pretend to be old and serious. In fact, she is essentially only a girl about twenty years old, even younger than Su Ziheng in her previous life when she was a teacher.
It's just that it's not good to laugh on such a formal occasion, so he has to try to control his straight face, and after Xie Qingxuan's voice fell, he continued to sing loudly: "Apprentice salutes to Master." ”
When the little girl heard this, she knelt on the ground, banged her head with a bang, and kowtowed nine times in a row, knocking her head red. And said loudly: "Disciple Zhang Xiaoya pays a visit to the master." ”
Xie Qingxuan looked directly at Xiaoya, tried to put on a majestic appearance, and said with a straight face: "You haven't officially worshiped the ancestor, and you can't be regarded as a disciple of my teaching, but only my personal apprentice." Therefore, the canon is the teacher, so I will not tell you first, but only a few of my rules. ”
"The most important one is not to deceive teachers and destroy ancestors; Do not bully the weak; In the future, when you see your fellow doors, you must watch and help each other. If you dare to use the martial arts I taught you to do evil, don't complain about clearing the door for the teacher. ”
Xie Qingxuan's words were secretly spit out with true qi, and the voice was not loud, but it was deafening, which made the little girl's heart sink, and she quickly kowtowed again, "The disciple doesn't dare, he will definitely follow the master's teachings." ”
But she thought in her heart, I would naturally listen to what the master said, but I had to listen to my sister and uncle.
Xie Qingxuan said: "That's very good, get up." ”
With a flick of the sleeve of his right hand, a powerful force swept towards Xiaoya, lifting her up from the ground.
Everyone's faces changed, but they didn't expect Xie Qingxuan to have such an unfathomable kung fu. I can't help but be secretly happy for Xiaoya, I can worship such a master as a teacher, and I will definitely have a bright future in the future.
Su Ziheng coughed lightly and continued to sing: "The apprentice gives tea to the master." ”
Zhang Wanqing, who had already prepared on the side, walked up with a tray, on which was a freshly soaked high-grade cloud mist hair. This is the best tea she bought from the tea shop on Xishi Street as a sign of respect. It was almost a gram of silver or tael, and she was a little heartbroken when she bought it.
The little girl held the teacup and came to Xie Qingxuan's side, knelt down and raised the teacup above her head, and said respectfully: "Master, please drink tea." ”
Xie Qingxuan took the teacup, took a sip, and said, "Good tea!" Then he placed the teacup on the table.
Seeing this, Zhang Wanqing held the completed apprenticeship ceremony and red envelope and handed it to Xie Qingxuan, "Miss Xie, the little girl will be handed over to you to take care of in the future, if there is anything inappropriate, please punish it." ”
In this era, the custom of respecting teachers is still very heavy. The master can dispose of the disciples below at will, and the so-called one day as a teacher and a lifetime as a father is this principle. Where will it be like Su Ziheng in his previous life, where students do wrong things in school, and they can't be beaten or punished.
Xie Qingxuan took out a short sword from his arms, handed it to Xiaoya, and said expressionlessly: "This is the sword that your ancestor gave me when I was apprenticed." Now I pass it on to you, and I hope you will treat it well. ”
Xiaoya excitedly took the short sword that was more than a foot long and equivalent to a large dagger, and nodded heavily: "Master don't worry, I will definitely treat it well." The sword is in the people, and the sword is dead. ”
Su Ziheng frowned, and he didn't know where this girl heard what she said, it seems that she should be mentioned more in the future, and don't take things outside her body too seriously. It's just a sword, and there is no need to rise to the height of life and death.
Xie Qingxuan said coldly: "This is just an ordinary sword, for you to use when practicing, there is no need to look too closely." When you leave the school, the teacher will give you another sword that sharpens iron like clay. ”
Su Ziheng glanced at her in surprise, but he didn't expect Xie Qingxuan to look cold on the outside, but actually not bad on the inside. It is qualified to be at least one Master.
"Rite over!" After Su Ziheng finished speaking, he glanced around at everyone in the hall again, and said with a smile: "Since it is rare for everyone to come once, you will have a meal at my place at noon." ”
Zhang Wanqing was also on the side to persuade everyone to stay, and Ji Xiaoxiao and Cai'er girl, who had planned to leave, stayed behind.
Zhang Wanqing and Ji Xiaoxiao and her maid Xiao Taohong and Cai'er were busy in the kitchen, Zhang Wanqing didn't plan to let Ji Xiaoxiao and Cai'er help, but they said that if they didn't let them help, they would leave. Zhang Wanqing had no choice but to agree.
Song Jianming had already sent his family back, and he and Su Ziheng accompanied Xie Qingxuan to chat in the courtyard.
Xie Qingxuan looked at the courtyard and frowned slightly, "The environment here is too small for practice, do you want to move to Changle Fang with me?" ”
Su Ziheng waved his hand and said, "No, I plan to move to a Zhuangzi outside the city to live, and then there will be a lot of space." When the time comes, Miss Xie will come with us. ”
Xie Qingxuan pondered for a moment, nodded and agreed.
Song Jianming asked suspiciously, "Why does Ziheng want to move outside the city?" ”
Su Ziheng explained: "The younger brother doesn't plan to participate in the imperial examination next year, so there is no need to stay in the city. I plan to go back to my ancestral home first and reopen the White Deer Academy left by my father, so that I can have some income and not sit on the mountain. ”
Song Jianming nodded and said, "Then Ziheng must give Brother Wei an address, so that Brother Wei can come to the door to disturb him." ”
……
……
In a house in the west city of Xining Prefecture, a wine banquet is being held with the song and swallow dance.
Li Haobang greeted a handsome maid and poured wine for Xu Bohan and Sikong Lun, and then said triumphantly: "Xu Shao, little marquis, what do you two think of this mansion?" ”
Xu Bohan looked at a singer dancing in the center of the field and drooled, where did he notice what Li Haobang said, and replied casually, "Yes, very good." ”
Sikong Lun has received very strict training since he was a child, and his knowledge is outstanding, which is much stronger than that straw bag Xu Bohan. I came in all the way just now, and I was very impressed by the design of this house, "Li Gongzi, this house must be a famous design, right?" ”
Li Haobang nodded and said: "Yes, the house here was designed by Mr. Gongyi of Momen before he became famous, although it is not a masterpiece, but it is also beginning to take shape." If the little marquis likes it, he will give it to the little marquis. ”
Sikong Lun was surprised: "Could it be Mr. Liang, the public of Momen?" I heard that he is a master architect who combines the strengths of the Mo family and the public loser. If that's the case, you can live there. However, there is no need to give it away, and when this son leaves Xining Mansion, he will return it to Li Gongzi. ”
When Li Haobang said just now that he was going out of the mansion, he was still very distressed, but this mansion cost him most of his savings. However, if you can make friends with the little marquis Sikong Lun, this cost is still worth it.
As long as Xu Bohan marries Zhao Wan'er home, and then he unites the forces of the Xu family and Sikong Lun, he will soon be able to get back more silver from the Zhao family. It's just that when he thought of Zhao Wan'er and Su Ziheng's imminent engagement, he was in a bad mood.
Li Haobang drank all the wine in the cup, and asked cautiously: "Xu Shao, could it be that we just watch that kid and Wan'er get engaged?" ”
Xu Bohan withdrew his gaze from the singer, turned the white jade wine glass in his hand, and said with a smile: "According to last night's temptation, the Zhao family is estimated to be engaged. But ......"
He changed his words and said coldly: "Then it depends on whether that kid has the life to get engaged." Just let that kid go to hell before he gets officially engaged. He Zhao Chengwen can't let his daughter get engaged to a ghost, right? ”
