After a month, Guo Manzi took the strings, took to the streets, and began his pendant rap career, which soon became famous, famous and popular with the audience. Several young people also threw themselves under Guo Manzi and worshipped him as a teacher. Guo Manzi thought about it at the beginning, so he accepted them one by one.

As soon as he said, Guo Manzi was singing, and a few artists came, who were strong and strong, and waved their hands to stop Guo Manzi.

Guo Manzi looked at this situation, his heart tightened, and he arched his hand and said, "How many people are looking for Guo?" ”

The other party asked with a cold face: "If you don't have anything to do, you dare to ask who Mr. Guo's master is?" ”

Guo Manzi thought of the one-eyed Liu, but the one-eyed Liu Youyan was the first, and he was not allowed to call him a teacher.

Guo Manzi had no choice but to say, "No." ”

When the other party heard this, he immediately came to Heng: "Do you understand our rules here?" What qualifications does a person who has not studied with a teacher have to work as a street performer? From today onwards, you are not allowed to go out on the streets unless you have visited the teacher! ”

A few people couldn't help but say, took Guo Manzi's strings, and walked away.

Guo Manzi was stupid.

Helpless, Guo Manzi had to ask someone to seek a teacher. Artists Zhang Dayuan and Wu Mazi have long taken a fancy to Guo Manzi and are vying to accept him as an apprentice. This makes Guo Manzi embarrassed, Zhang and Wu are both famous local figures, which one is better?

This is the Hongshan Temple Conference. Zhang Dayuan and Wu Mazi waited for Guo Manzi to come. Guo Manzi asked someone to carry a letter, saying that he was seriously ill and couldn't get up, but he actually intended to avoid it.

Zhang Dayuan burst into flames and pointed at Wu Mazi: "What kind of ability do you have to compete with me for apprenticeship?" ”

Wu Mazi was annoyed and angry: "The surname is Zhang, I haven't settled accounts with you yet, you asked me first!" You say, who noticed Guo Manzi first? Who told someone to pull his strings? It's me! You came out in the middle of the road to fight against Lao Tzu, what kind of heart did you have? ”

Zhang Dayuan rolled up his sleeves, and his face turned into purple pig liver: "Who are you?" ** The live is crooked! ”

The two pounced on and were about to fight, when the artist Liu Qingshui stepped forward to separate them: "I see, don't accept any of you two, I'll take it." ”

This Liu Qingshui's stage name is Golden Horse, he is highly respected, and his reputation is above Zhang and Wu. The two of them were speechless for a while, staring at Liu Qingshui, exhaling and exhaling.

Liu Qingshui smiled leisurely: "What do you say?" ”

The two opened their mouths, but they still couldn't make a sound, but their eyes clearly showed reluctance.

At the moment of embarrassment, a long-haired old man came over and hugged his fists: "Don't fight with any of you three, the old man has an idea, which is fair and reasonable." ”

The three of them saw that this old man was Jiang Dayang, a respected local artist, who had retired for many years.

The three of them calmed down and said, "Elder Jiang, please advise." ”

Jiang Dayang said: "The three of you compete with Guo Manzi, and whoever sings the best will be Guo Manzi's master." ”

The three of them were a little empty in their hearts, but they had no other way, so they nodded and said, "Okay, who is afraid of whom!" ”

Yingzhou City opened four study sheds, Liu Qingshui, Zhang Dayuan, Wu Mazi, and Guo Manzi appeared one by one, and the heroes gathered, turning Yingzhou City almost upside down. The people poured out of the alleys, feasting their ears and never returning.

After three months of competition, no one compared to Guo Manzi, and the audience surrounded Guo Manzi's study shed. Things are even more difficult, Guo Manzi, who has outstanding skills, must choose someone to be the master, and everyone looks at Guo Manzi with a blank eye. And Guo Manzi never said a word, only looked at Jiang Dayang, who was determined by the immortal wind bones.

After a while, Jiang Dayang pointed to Liu Qingshui and the others: "Which of you thinks you are the most qualified to be Guo Manzi's teacher?" ”

The three of them looked at each other, unable to respond.

Jiang Dayang stroked his long hair and smiled: "The old man thinks that Guo Manzi is a unique family with outstanding skills, so why do you need to apprentice?" ”

Liu Qingshui said: "Yes...... But we can't break the rules. ”

Jiang Dayang laughed and said: "Artists and artists, follow art and morality, art is high and virtuous, there are no teachers and self-teachers, there are some old rules, just change them." ”

Liu Qingshui and the others sighed for a while, but they had no power to refute, and finally had to nod yes.

Jiang Dayang pointed at Wu Mazi and said, "Mazi, there is something that should be returned to its original owner, right?" ”

Wu Mazi was slightly stunned, suddenly realized, and hurriedly ordered the disciples to return the strings to Guo Manzi.

With tears in his eyes, Guo Manzi bowed deeply to Jiang Dayang.

Since then, the century-old rule that you can't practice art without a teacher has been broken.

One day two months later, a descendant suddenly found Guo Manzi and asked him to go to Jiang Dayang's house. Guo Manzi has always been grateful to Jiang Dayang, and he is busy with his next life. When he arrived at Jiang's house, Guo Manzi saw that there was still a person sitting next to Jiang Dayang, and the one-eyed made him stunned on the ground. God, I really can't imagine that this person is one-eyed Liu.

One-eyed Liu stood up and said with a smile: "Manzi, I didn't expect it to be me, right?" You screamed in Yingzhou, I'm really happy for you. ”

Guo Manzi came to his senses: "Yes, it's too unexpected...... How did you get here? ”

Guo Manzi arched his hand to Jiang Dayang: "I'm here to visit the master, and I'm here to see you." Do you know that I studied under Mr. Yu Jiang back then, and after I finished my studies, Mr. Jiang drove me out, just like I asked you to go away. Maybe you think it's too cruel, but you don't know the teacher's good intentions. I don't let you apprentice because I am afraid that you will be under the shadow of the teacher for the rest of your life; Let you go away in order to let you break out of your own world. In fact, as soon as you left Kaifeng, I sent a letter to Mr. Jiang to take care of you secretly. ”

Guo Manzi suddenly opened his mouth, couldn't help but have hot eyes, bowed down and said: "The teacher is indifferent to fame and fortune, and is willing to be a ladder, which can really be described as both virtue and art, and has established a generation of teacher style!" Manzi strictly abides by the teacher's training, and accepts apprentices in his life to follow the example, inherit the teacher's style, and forever show future generations! ”

……

When Guo Manzi heard that the person sent by Li Tao said that Luzhou had opened a theater and wanted to invite him to come, he agreed without hesitation.

The most incredible thing is that Jiang Jiao's original new chief shopkeeper of the seven or eight warehouses turned out to be a chubby child. This person is none other than Li Tao's good brother Fan Changfeng. At the beginning, no matter how Li Tao persuaded him, Fan Changfeng didn't dare to take over, after all, he had never done business. In the end, it was Hua Jingjing who was scolded, which made Fan Changfeng accept it with a bitter face. I don't know if I used to be exposed to it at home, or if I was born to do business.

Fan Changfeng runs several warehouses and has done well, especially rouge and tea, which have become the two most profitable.

The rouge workshop is run by a couple, the male is called Lin Tong, and the female is called rouge. Rouge's long eyebrows are clear and beautiful, but it's a pity that he is blind. Lin Tong and Rouge were originally just ordinary craftsmen of Jiang Jiao's original rouge shop, but since Li Tao heard about the experience of Lin Tong and his wife, he did not hesitate to let the couple manage the rouge shop, and promised to give them dividends from Rouge's income every year.
