Chapter 52: Master Duan (1)
After breakfast, Qingshu changed into lotus lotus-colored clothes. The earrings and collars worn on his body were also removed, leaving only the Buddhist beads on his wrists.
After changing their clothes, Qingshu and Mrs. Gu complained: "Grandma, you can ask someone to make me some dirt-resistant clothes!" ”
Her current clothes are all brightly colored and are not resistant to dirt, and she definitely can't wear these clothes when practicing.
Old Mrs. Gu was thinking about the practice without anyone seeing it: "When Master Duan agrees to accept you as an apprentice, I will ask someone to make you a few sets of dirt-resistant clothes." ”
Qingshu clenched his fists: "Grandma, I will definitely let Master Duan take me as an apprentice." ”
Old Lady Gu didn't hit Qingshu and decided to make her happy first.
More than a quarter of an hour later, the grandfather and grandson arrived in front of a low house.
Qing Shu was a little puzzled and said, "Grandmother, didn't you say that Master Duan is the head of the dart board?" Since he is the head of the dart, he must have earned a lot, how could he live in such a shabby place. ”
Old Madam Gu knew Master Duan's details very well, and naturally knew why he lived here. However, she didn't feel the need to tell Qingshu this, so she smiled.
Qingshu thought she didn't know, so she didn't continue to ask.
I knocked on the door several times before I heard a hoarse voice sound: "Wait a minute. ”
Qing Shu saw that it was a woman with half a hundred hair and a face full of frost, and she said, "May I ask if this is Master Duan's home?" ”
Seeing the two of them, Aunt Duan asked with some confusion, "You are also here to find him?" ”
These days, all the people who come to the door are men, and it is the first time that an old lady has brought a little girl to the door. Therefore, Aunt Duan didn't think about apprenticeship.
Old Lady Gu said, "Yes, we are here to find Master Duan, is he there?" ”
The woman nodded and said, "Yes, come in!"
When the two of them walked to the courtyard, they smelled a strong smell of medicine, and Qingshu hated the smell of medicine the most, and his brows couldn't help frowning at the moment.
In the courtyard, a dark-faced man in a short suit chops wood. As soon as the axe went down, the wood as thick as an adult's thigh was split into four pieces.
Qingshu's eyes were straight, this is not something ordinary people can do.
The woman came to the man and said, "Master, this lady has come to you." ”
The man put down the axe in his hand and took the towel on his shoulder to wipe his sweat before asking, "Who are you?" What's the matter with me? ”
In Qingshu's imagination, Master Duan should be a burly and stout person. As a result, Master Duan was only of medium stature and relatively thin, which was completely different from what she imagined.
If it weren't for Mrs. Gu's swearing, she didn't believe that the other party could kill more than a dozen bandits by herself. Sure enough, people cannot be disguised, and the sea water cannot be measured.
Qing Shu raised his head and said, "Master Duan, I heard that you are strong in martial arts, and I want to practice martial arts with you." ”
Master Duan refused without thinking about it: "I don't accept apprentices, please go back!" ”
The gentleman made a promise, and since he said that he would not accept the apprentices, he would not be able to slap himself in the face.
Old Madam Gu said very simply: "Good girl, Master Duan is unwilling to accept apprentices, then let's go back!" ”
Giving up so easily, Master Duan couldn't help but look a little sideways. In the past two years, the apprentice has always tried every means to get him to nod his head in agreement, but of course, in the end, it has been in vain.
Qing Shu said innocently: "I didn't think about apprenticeship, I just wanted to learn some leg and foot kung fu, so that I could protect myself in case of danger." ”
Master Duan was a little surprised, but still shook his head and said, "I won't teach you, please go back!" ”
The smell of medicine is getting stronger and stronger, and the smell is unpleasant.
Qingshu thought about it for a while, and said slyly: "I won't let you teach in vain, I will pay." ”
Living in such a dilapidated house, coupled with the smell of medicine in the yard, it can be seen that this family is not doing well.
Old Lady Gu looked at Qingshu and smiled, this girl is really getting more and more refined.
Aunt Duan asked Qingshu before Master Duan spoke: "If we let us be in charge of you, how much can you give?" ”
Qing Shu looked at Old Lady Gu expectantly. She didn't know how much it would cost to hire a martial arts master, so she had to make up her grandmother's mind about this matter.
Master Duan said with a straight face: "You can invite someone else!" I don't know how to teach. ”
Old Madam Gu said very simply: "Since this is the case, then bother." ”
After speaking, he took Qingshu's hand and walked out.
Aunt Duan followed out: "Auntie, where do you live?" When I get him through, I'll write back to you. ”
Qing Shu hurriedly said: "My grandmother's surname is Gu and she lives in Dongli Hutong, you will know when you inquire there." ”
Aunt Duan's face was happy, the people who lived in Dongli Hutong were all rich and noble, and if her husband went to teach this little girl, the monthly money would definitely not be less.
Sitting in the carriage, Old Lady Gu looked at Qing Shu and said, "Actually, Master Duan is right, we can find another master, we don't have to look for him." ”
Qingshu shook his head and said, "Grandma, I just want to follow Master Duan to practice martial arts." ”
If she didn't see anyone, it would be fine, and when she saw someone, she would identify Master Duan.
"Why?"
Qingshu explained: "Grandma, Taifeng County shouldn't be able to find someone better than his kung fu." If you want to learn, you naturally have to learn from the best people in martial arts. ”
Since she knew that the old lady believed the words of Master Wuchen, Qing Shu would no longer hide and pinch in front of her. Of course, only in front of the old lady, in front of outsiders, she is a little smarter than ordinary children.
Old Mrs. Gu said deliberately: "But Master Duan doesn't want to teach you, and grandma can't help it." ”
Qingshu said very confidently: "Grandma, Master Duan is very short of money, and I don't want to apprentice, I just want to learn some leg and foot kung fu." In the future, even if he doesn't study well, he won't lose his reputation, and I'm sure he'll agree. ”
After a pause, Qingshu said: "Grandma, a penny is difficult to defeat a hero, even if Master Duan is arrogant, he has to compromise for the sake of his wife and children." ”
In a short period of time, she found out Master Duan's weakness, and Qingshu's acuity was not inferior to her. Good guidance, the future is worry-free.
Old Lady Gu smiled and asked, "If he asks for a very high price, do you want to invite him too?" ”
Qingshu thought about it seriously and said, "Grandma, why don't you ask him to be our family's guard and teach me kung fu by the way." That's a win-win, what do you say? ”
She was also afraid that Gu Heping and Yuan Shanniang would jump off the wall in a hurry and do something crazy, and it was also reassuring to have a person with strong martial arts to take care of the home.
Later, Qingshu learned that she was completely worried.
Old Mrs. Gu laughed: "No one has agreed to teach you martial arts, and you still want people to take care of the home." ”
This girl's abacus is crackling, she has her demeanor, she likes it.
"Grandma, money is not everything, but no money is absolutely impossible. As long as we can afford it, he'll say yes. ”
After speaking, Qingshu asked with some concern: "Grandma, do we still have money in our family?" ”
If you don't have much money, you will have to save money later.
The words of our family greatly pleased Mrs. Gu: "There is no more, there is still money for you to invite Mr. and Master." However, practicing martial arts is very hard, and it is easy to get injured if you fall, and grandma is afraid that you will not be able to endure this hardship. ”
Qingshu grinned and said, "Grandma, don't worry, I won't give up halfway." ”
If you learn the skill, you will not be bullied, and you will not be treated as goods in exchange for benefits. Therefore, whether it is studying or practicing martial arts, no matter how hard and tired she is, she will persevere.
