Chapter 170: Apprenticeship

Xue Zhujing obviously prefers this kind of drawing related to architectural design rather than figure depiction and landscape painting.

And the old craftsman also praised and praised the drawings she made, and felt that she was quite talented in this regard, and bluntly said that she was a pity that she was a daughter, otherwise she would definitely become a skilled craftsman in the future.

When the old craftsman said this, the delicate-minded Jiang Qianyue glanced at Xue Zhujing vaguely, and naturally noticed the loss in the other party's eyes.

In his heart, he thought of the conversation with Zheng Linchu a few days ago.

It seems like I should do something.

If Lang Jing is here, what will happen to her?

After thinking about it for a while, Jiang Qianyue made up her mind to pay attention.

I heard her ask the craftsman, "Master Chen, do you really think Zhu Jing has talent in this area?" ”

"That's nature, it's a pity that it's a female baby", said, the craftsman shook his head again, "Alas, it's a pity, if it's a male baby, we really want to accept it as a closed disciple and inherit our mantle, at least it is more in line with our hearts than those few apprentices who don't make it." ”

Hearing him sigh so emotionally, Jiang Qianyue asked him, "Then why can't you accept her, Zhu Jing admires a craftsman like you the most, as long as you are willing, she would like to worship you as a teacher." ”

While speaking, Jiang Qianyue looked at Xue Zhujing again and confirmed to her, "Yes, Zhujing?" ”

Xue Zhujing is not a stupid person, she immediately understood, and said respectfully to the craftsman, "Master Chen, I really want to learn, as long as you are willing to teach me, I am willing to do whatever I want." ”

Master Chen subconsciously refused, "This, how can this work, you are a girl, how can you do this business?" ”

Without waiting for Xue Zhujing to answer, Jiang Qianyue asked, "Why not?" ”

"How can a woman do this in this world!"

"Then when she does this business, won't she have it in the future?"

"No, no, that's not what I said," Master Chen shook his head.

Jiang Qianyue asked again, "So why not?" ”

You say no, you have to give a reason.

Master Chen just wanted to say that he had never seen a woman do this, but then he thought that he had just said this, so he had no choice but to say, "Female dolls are not suitable for architectural design." ”

"Why doesn't it fit, didn't you just say that she was quite talented, and you praised her design drawings for a while."

"It's... Anyway, no", Master Chen still shook his head.

"So you're going to have to give her a reason she can't, right?"

Her series of questions seemed to have to ask why, which made Master Chen, who couldn't say the specific reason for it for a while, a little embarrassed.

"Alas, what's the matter with you girl, she's a girl doll, how can she learn from me as a big man, it's inconvenient!"

"Oh, Master Chen, you can be Zhu Jing's grandfather at your age, wouldn't it be good if you taught her as your granddaughter."

"How can this be said to be right, it will make people gossip."

"Do you have any daughters at home?"

Although he didn't know why she suddenly asked like this, Master Chen still replied, "Of course there are female dependents." ”

He's not an old bachelor.

After that, I listened to Jiang Qianyue and said, "Don't you usually have a job, this drawing can't always be designed outside, it always has to be taken home, since there is a woman in the family, what is the taboo for her to study at your house." And if you're outside, and you're not alone, you don't need to worry. ”

Seeing that she couldn't talk about this aspect, Master Chen changed his reason again, "Even if she learns it, what can she do, other families will not invite a girl to be a craftsman, isn't this learning in vain, why waste this effort!" ”

"You can rest assured, our family doesn't have to rely on it to eat, wait for Zhu Jing to learn, if others are not clear, let's let her design for herself, not afraid of learning in vain."

"Then I won't be able to take her out to someone else's house when the time comes! And doing design is not as simple as staying at home to write and draw, you have to walk outside all day, which is also very physically demanding, and she insists on living with a female doll. ”

"Don't worry, my Xue family doesn't care about showing up, and her family is very supportive of her. As for physical strength, then you don't have to worry about it.

We will insist on exercising every day, and now our physical fitness is not much worse than that of ordinary men, even if we walk outside all day. ”

"But, but you let us accept a girl as an apprentice, or a closed disciple, how does this make the world see us."

Jiang Qianyue thought for a while, "Then what if you only let her study with you, and not be commensurate with her master and apprentice to the outside world?" Even if others ask, you can say that you are one of your juniors, just take her out to learn more.

Of course, internally, she will still treat each other as a disciple. ”

"This..."

Master Chen couldn't find a reason to oppose it all of a sudden, and he was a little moved by what she said.

Seeing that there seemed to be a play, Jiang Qianyue made persistent efforts, "You see that you have been a craftsman all your life, and you always have feelings for this industry." How can you bear to let such a talented and motivated person waste this talent just because of external reasons. ”

"But...", Master Chen hesitated.

"Moreover, we would like you to give you a restraint, and if you usually have food expenses at your house, you will also pay for the food."

。。。

In the end, with Jiang Qianyue's incorruptible tongue, coupled with the sufficient amount of restraint they promised to give, and the love in their hearts, Master Chen finally agreed to teach Xue Zhujing.

Externally, she is not commensurate with her master and apprentice, but Master Chen will try his best to teach her, and it is up to her to see how much she can learn.

If she could, she would try to take her out, but if she couldn't, she would have to stay at his house to study.

Of course, she can only go during the day, go in the morning, leave in the evening, and take care of her daily food and restraints.

In this way, the matter is decided for the time being, as long as it is agreed by everyone in the family.

Xue Zhujing can learn from real craftsmen, and the sisters of the Xue family are naturally happy for her, where will they object.

The Tang family and the Shen family still had some concerns about letting her stay at a strange man's house for a long time, but in the end they did not object.

Who let her like herself, and with the Xue family's current financial resources, they really don't have to worry that the girl in the family will not be able to marry because of her reputation.

Let them have such an idea, of course, it is Xue Langjing's credit.

As for Xue Yuhai, he didn't say anything from beginning to end, but it can be seen that he didn't agree with it in his heart, but he didn't say it.

Why not?

is because he knows in his heart that he can't be the master of his daughter's affairs now, and the only one who can be the master is probably his mother, and the most influential is of course Xiaoba.

How could Hachi object! The only one who can oppose it is his mother.

But she didn't, no matter how much she said, it would be useless, and if she said too much, it would cause everyone's dissatisfaction, and his father was a lesson from the past, so he simply didn't say it.

No one objected, so Xue Zhujing's matter was decided.

It just so happened that Master Chen had been busy with the design drawings of the Xue family for the past few days, so she naturally followed along to study.

Although there was no formal apprenticeship ceremony, the Xue family did a good job, which also made Master Chen quite satisfied.

Soon, the Xue family's new house, pig farm, and pond were built.

And the silver in Xue Langjing's hand naturally began to spend a lot of money, which made her feel distressed, feeling that her purchase of equipment was always far away.

Well, in fact, she also knew in her heart that with the current level of their hunting team, this equipment probably wouldn't be needed.

But I just can't help but be anxious and want to equip it as soon as possible.
