Article 217 Persuasion
The man behind the curtain sighed and said, "Alas! Chief, if you come early, the old man will definitely agree to your request. What a pity! Now, the old body can only ask you to ask for another master. ”
Hearing this, Cai Dao was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "Master Jia, why is this?" ”
"Hehe, Xiaodao Chief, in fact, the reason is very simple. You, the actual controller of the Cai Academy, have offended my little master. The person behind the curtain laughed twice and said something that made Cai Dao even more incomprehensible.
"Humph!" Sure enough, Cai Dao found that a gap was revealed behind the curtain, and the little girl held her little head high, staring at herself fiercely, like a demonstration, and snorted angrily.
Cai Dao couldn't help touching his smooth little chin and asked hesitantly, "Ah! Master Jia, this is a wrongful poor Dao, before today, the poor Dao has never seen a young lady! How can this be offended? ”
"Xiaodao Chief, others say that you are a prodigy, so let you guess how you offended this little master of my family." When Master Jia said this, Cai Dao listened to it, and he felt that the meaning of ridicule was even stronger.
That little girl's little head was raised even higher, and Cai Dao was afraid that she would break her neck.
"This ......" Cai Dao glanced at the old shopkeeper who was the only one who appeared now, he was still the same as when they first met, he still had a sincere smile on his face, Cai Dao wanted to find even a little hint or clue from it, it seemed that the possibility was very low. He carefully recalled any details of his first meeting with the little girl.
Well, a very cute little girl, it seems, not a few years older than herself......
By the way, not a few years older than me!
In fact, Cai Dao has a bad habit that can never be changed, that is, he always thinks that he is still the uncle of the later generations who squatted in the university at home to continue his practice, but he forgot the actual age of his current body. Since that little girl is less than ten years old, she must have wanted to sign up to study in Cai's Academy. However, she must have been directly stuck in the first hurdle by the question of age.
Other than that, the two have no intersection.
Now that he had found the most likely reason, Cai Dao no longer hesitated, and asked bluntly: "Master Jia, is it that your daughter wants to join the poor Taoist school, which offended Miss!" ”
"Hehehe, how is it, girl, I finally saw it! Aren't you convinced? The person behind the curtain obviously teased his daughter first, and then said: "He is worthy of being a world-renowned prodigy, in a word." Yes, if it was before, as long as you promised the school to accept my daughter, I would immediately agree to your request. But now, please forgive the old body for not being able to help. ”
"Master Jia, with all due respect, even if you agree to Poor Dao's request, Poor Dao will not be able to enroll your daughter into the school. The enrollment conditions set by Poor Dao cannot be changed, and Poor Dao has always been true to his words and deeds, and will not change it for anyone. Isn't it said that Bianliang Primary School will also recruit female students? After all, it was a school given by His Majesty himself, and it was much more formal than the poor Taoist school. Cai Dao knew that this matter was difficult, but he couldn't let go of the enrollment conditions he had formulated.
"What about Yuan Zhaodi?" At this time, the little girl who had been silent for a long time finally caught a flaw in Cai Dao's words and asked.
"Oh, the girl knows Yuan Zhaodi!" Speaking of this talented little girl, Cai Dao had long expected that someone would treat her as a flaw. However, when Cai Dao decided to recruit Yuan Zhaodi, he had already thought of countermeasures.
Cai Dao stopped the words that had been prepared a long time ago in his heart: "Master Jia, Yuan Zhaodi's matter, in fact, Poor Dao specially found someone to investigate. Some people outside say that the child was born in Bianliang City eight years ago, but the Wen Po who delivered her has passed away. No one has proved this, and her parents insist that Yuan Zhaodi was born on New Year's Day seven years ago. This matter was indeed reported by someone, but the rules of this school are who reports it and who gives evidence, and if there is no evidence, the school can only accept the child. Are you still satisfied with this answer? ”
"Humph! Strong words, is that Miss Ben can also say that she is the same as Yuan Zhaodi, she was born on New Year's Day seven years ago. The little girl was still stiff-mouthed and argued strongly.
Cai Dao was happy when he heard it, this is really easy to find loopholes: "Hehehe." This young lady, may I ask, do you believe this when you say it yourself? Besides, when you signed up, you and your parents didn't say that, right? ”
"Ben ......, huh!"
"Chief, I'm sorry for letting you go in vain. It's not that the old body deliberately shirks it. Since you know Su'er, you should have heard her say that we embroidery girls, the older we get, the more blurred our eyes become. This is the reason why the old body retired from the palace. Recently, the situation has become more and more serious, and both eyes are almost as blind as they are. Alas! Xiaodao chief, please forgive the old body for not being able to help. Master Jia explained behind the curtain.
So that's the case, Cai Dao had already expected that since the other party was no longer visible, it would be difficult for him to force him to invite again.
"In that case, Master Jia, take care. Poor Dao will bring your words to Aunt Su. Leave! After speaking, Cai Dao bowed deeply to the curtain and turned around to leave.
"Wait, Trail Master." The old shopkeeper, who didn't say a word just now, suddenly said when he saw that Cai Dao was leaving.
Cai Dao stopped, turned to look at the old shopkeeper, and listened to what the other party had to say.
"Xiaodao Chief, since you are inviting a female red master. Although the little girl is young, she has now learned sixty or seventy percent of the crafts of my Hun family. Can't you ask the little girl to be this master? "I have to say that the old shopkeeper looks honest, and his brain is really big this time.
"Old shopkeeper!" Cai Dao arched his hand at the other party and said, "Miss, her skills may be really good, but even if she learns ten percent of Master Jia's skills, she can't be this female red master." The poor Taoist school is different from the traditional way of masters leading apprentices, and the 3,500 girls still use the previous one-on-one teaching method. It can't be taught at all. Besides, Miss has a very big shortcoming now. I believe Master Jia also knows this. ”
Cai Dao's explanation is indeed reasonable, but the old shopkeeper and the little girl don't know where their shortcomings are. He and she couldn't help but turn their gaze to Master Jia.
Of course, Master Jia couldn't see it, but she knew that her official and daughter must be waiting for her to give an answer, she combined with Cai Dao's words just now, thought about it for a while, and then thought: "Xiaodao Chief, what do you mean, do you ask this female red master not only to demonstrate the embroidery method in front of those girls, but also to explain the specific embroidery process to these children orally, and have answered their questions." And the disadvantage of the little girl is that she can do it but not say it. ”
"Mother, why can't I say it. If you hadn't stopped me just now, I would have had to drench the blood of this stinky Taoist dog and get out of our house. Hum! ”
The little girl didn't understand, but the old shopkeeper suddenly understood. He himself is such a person, he himself is a carver. His master once commented on him, and when he started working, he was definitely a leader. However, once you become a teacher, you are purely misleading. This is the result of years of personal practice, and his daughter is still young, and her embroidery skills are indeed outstanding. However, it is not clear to ask her to talk specifically about the skill itself.
Everyone fell silent all of a sudden, but Cai Dao was suddenly inspired by the old shopkeeper's amazing brain.
"Master Jia, since Miss she was taught by you. Every time she weaves a piece, you must be able to explain the technique in detail, right? Cai Dao asked in an affirmative tone.
"That's fine. But, Chief, what do you think? The old body has heard that you kid has always had a lot of ghost ideas. You don't want to beat the little girl's idea. ”
Although Master Jia said that Cai Dao was terrible, the little girl was not afraid at all, and stared at Cai Dao with wide eyes, wanting to hear what this prodigy was going to say?
