Chapter 273: Apprenticeship Again
The next day, the weather was clear, the time was just right, and the little old man who was not good-looking came to the door when the braised meat shop was just opened, carrying a big wine gourd, and there were no guests, but it was also a blink of an eye.
The guy didn't know the identity of the little old man, in his eyes, this was a poisonous doll, and when he saw him, it was like turning around and walking away, but he couldn't, so he could only greet him with a smile.
Unexpectedly, the little old man was in a good mood today, and he didn't embarrass him, just asked him to call Jiang Xiaotuan out.
The guy went to the backyard to find Jiang Xiaotuan, and as soon as he told her that the poison doll was coming, Jiang Xiaotuan knew what was going on.
Yes, the monk can't hide from the temple, not to mention that she doesn't want to hide either.
Jiang Xiaotuan hurriedly welcomed people to the backyard, invited them to the upper seat, and asked Xiaoyue to hurry up to make tea, apprentice, naturally want to serve tea.
The little old man saw it in his eyes and didn't say anything, but he finally saw that she was motivated, but for the sake of a rare good seedling, it was nothing to take the initiative himself.
After the tea was brewed, Jiang Xiaotuan knelt on the ground respectfully, holding the teacup in both hands, "Master is above, and I will be worshiped by the apprentice." ”
Jiang Xiaotuan stubbornly ignored his baby face that people couldn't help but touch, and kowtowed.
The little old man was quite satisfied, and picked up the shelf of the elders, but it was a pity that his hand was making a movement of brushing the tiger's whiskers under his chin, but his chin was slippery, nothing was long, and it looked a little funny, "Well, get up, enter my door, don't pay so much attention to it, don't be like your senior brother, just betray me." ”
Jiang Xiaotuan thinks that his character is quite reliable.
"The master has also prepared some gifts for you."
Jiang Xiaotuan saw him carrying a big wine gourd, it was difficult to give her wine to drink, no, no, she was not strong enough to drink.
Sensing Jiang Xiaotuan staring at his wine gourd, the little old man glanced at her, "What do you think, your master and I are the one who picks and searches?" ”
Saying that, he first took out a ginseng from his sleeve, and at first glance it was a top grade, and look at how the head had been for decades, with distinct roots and whiskers, and shaped like limbs, this kind of quality is rare in the world, and the price is thousands of taels of silver.
Just a ginseng is already a big gift, but he continued to pull it out of his sleeve, "This lingzhi was given to me by someone else, I am a poison-maker, I can't use it, give it to you, it's a pity that this thing can't be beautified." ”
Jiang Xiaotuan just wanted to say words of gratitude, but he was angry with his last sentence, in his eyes, how ugly he is, try to see it and never forget to complain about himself.
After the ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum, the little old man took out a snow lotus from his sleeve, "This is what I picked casually, look at the strange and beautiful ones, if you do it, you won't be able to do it, so I'll give it to you." ”
Picked casually, this thing is even rarer in the world.
Jiang Xiaotuan couldn't help but exclaim, "Master, where did you pick casually, and take me to pick too." ”
"You...... No, no, you can't climb up with your small body, this is picked on the thousand-year-old snow-capped mountain. ”
"It's not a precious thing, it should be eaten, it should be used, don't save it."
Jiang Xiaotuan nodded, she must not be conscious, and she started taking it at night.
These three things add up, and there are two or three thousand taels of silver. Jiang Xiaotuan sighed, such a master can give her a dozen.
However, this is not over, the little old man took out a bunch of bottles and cans from his sleeve on the other side, "These are the medicines I usually refine, you can take them." ”
Although it is a medicine, it will definitely not be an ordinary medicine refined by a person who is a Lingzhi Snow Lotus as soon as he makes a move, Jiang Xiaotuan immediately thought of his top-level injury medicine, which she could not compare to what she refined.
Jiang Xiaotuan unceremoniously put away those bottles and cans, and smiled not reserved at all, "Master, then I'm not welcome." ”
"Well, tell me, add up these things, are there more than your last master gave you?"
"The last master?" Jiang Xiaotuan was stunned when he heard this, and was about to explain to him that he didn't have a master.
The little old man saw it, "I'm talking about the master Yuanyi who taught you how to make jewelry." ”
"Oh......" Jiang Xiaotuan suddenly realized, it seems that he knows a lot, but this is also a well-known thing in the capital, just ask and ask.
Both of them are her masters, and they treat her well, Jiang Xiaotuan doesn't want to praise one and belittle the other, she said with a smile: "Both of them are my masters, each has their own strengths, whether it is painting or medicinal materials, the affection of the two masters for the apprentice is priceless." ”
"Flim Flam." The little old man was not very satisfied with Jiang Xiaotuan's answer, but if she held herself, he felt very uncomfortable in his heart, indicating that she had a problem with her character.
"Thank you, Master, for the compliment." Jiang Xiaotuan said with a smile.
The little old man glanced at his mouth, with a childish meaning, "You are thick-skinned, okay, I originally planned to go around the capital and leave, since I accepted you as an apprentice, then I will stop and stay for a few more days, teach you skills, you have to study hard, don't delay me to do business." ”
Jiang Xiaotuan nodded, "Master don't worry." ”
"Well, that's it for today, I'll go back and think about how to teach you, it's been a long time since I was confiscated, and I don't know where to start."
Jiang Xiaotuan smiled, "Master, why don't you eat here at noon?" ”
The little old man shook his head, "That's it, I'm used to being alone." ”
Jiang Xiaotuan sent people to the door, and the little old man let her go back, and walked slowly and leisurely by herself, looking at the direction he went, it should be a tavern.
In the next days, Jiang Xiaotuan will spare half a day every day to learn poison from the little old man, Jiang Xiaotuan has a foundation in medical skills, plus she is smart, she draws inferences from one another, and learns quickly.
The little old man didn't boast on his lips, but he felt very proud in his heart, and he wanted to teach everything he had learned all his life, and in fact he did the same.
The days passed leisurely, and in a blink of an eye, it was Lu Qiuyan's wedding, Jiang Xiaotuan, as her good sister, was taken care of by her, and it was impossible not to go, so she specially asked the little old man for a day off, and went to add makeup to her the day before the wedding.
But what surprised her even more was that she actually saw Cen Huanbao in the Lu family, but it's right to think about it, the Cen family and the Lu family have a good relationship, the Lu family marries a daughter, and the Cen family wants to express something, but she didn't expect Cen Huanbao to come.
Cen Huanbao hugged Jiang Xiaotuan tightly, "Oh, Xiaotuan, don't be angry, I asked Sister Qiuyan to hide it from you, I want to surprise you." ”
It's not okay to be angry, Jiang Xiaotuan took her hand, she hasn't seen her for a few months, she hasn't changed much, but she has a more smile than when she just left, and she thinks that she has already walked out of her emotional wounds.
"When did you come?"
Cen Huanbao smiled, "I just arrived yesterday, if I had come in advance for a long time, I was afraid that I couldn't help but surprise you, and I would have run over to see you a long time ago." ”
People are in good spirits at happy events, Lu Qiuyan is already good-looking, but at this time, her face is full of red light, and her beauty is even more prosperous.
"Why are you two still entangled?" Lu Qiuyan quipped.
"Sister Qiuyan, I haven't seen Xiaotuan for a long time, we used to be in the countryside for a while, and we had to get together if we didn't see each other for a few days."
Jiang Xiaotuan smiled and nodded, "You came to the capital to play for a while this time, right?" ”
Cen Huanbao nodded, "Of course, I was busy with business last time, and I didn't have time to play, I heard a lot about you yesterday, and I still want to meet that person......"
"What that guy?" Jiang Xiaotuan's face turned slightly red.
Cen Huanbao glanced at his mouth, "Oh, don't pretend to be confused, Sister Qiuyan told me, I just want to see that little prince who is high, how personable, handsome and chic, took you down." ”
"What's the matter, Sister Qiuyan, why are you talking nonsense to her?"
Lu Qiuyan took a step back, "I didn't, I told the truth, Sister Huanbao, I told you, be tactful, our little group girls are shy." ”
The two of them sang and harmonized, which really embarrassed Jiang Xiaotuan, "Okay, okay, Sister Qiuyan is the main lord today, why did you talk about me, are our bride's dowries ready?" ”
"Okay, okay, Aunt Lu counted it several times overnight yesterday, and the red makeup of ten miles must be fine."
Lu Qiuyan smiled, Jiang Xiaotuan and Cen Huanbao hadn't seen each other for a long time, and the two of them got together again and chatted without paying attention, and there were a lot of guests she was going to entertain today, and they had already started to serve guests one after another.
The guests who came today were either her parents' friends or her little sisters, and on the big day, the people who came to add makeup were close people, but no one expected it.
Liu Ru actually came.
The Yin family, the Jiang family and the Liu family, not to mention notorious in the capital now, are also avoided by everyone.
Lu Qiuyan and Liu Ru were originally-for-tat people, so naturally they would not invite her back on such days.
Her appearance was quite unexpected.
Liu Ru looked at the stunned expressions of the men, women and children present, and said with a smile: "It seems that I am not very popular!" ”
Lu Qiuyan frowned, but because of the identity of the master, it was difficult for her to open this mouth.
Jiang Xiaotuan was very embarrassed, in the past, it was Lu Qiuyan who stood in front of her, and at the critical moment, she naturally had to stand up to protect her, this is a friend, "Miss Liu, this is a bad word, it's not like, it's just." ”
Jiang Xiaotuan's words provoked bursts of laughter, and Liu Ru's expression became uncomfortable.
"I didn't ask you."
Cen Huanbao didn't know about Liu Ru and Jiang Xiaotuan, but she knew about her and Lu Qiuyan, the good sisters were all charging into battle, and she couldn't back down, "Whoever you ask, you are not welcome." ”
There was another burst of laughter, two sisters, you say a word to me, just like Lu Qiuyan's left and right protectors, Lu Qiuyan's heart is extremely down-to-earth.
"Miss Liu, our two families have never had much friendship, and I am not friends with you, if you are visiting today, if you congratulate, then I will say thank you, if it is for something else, then I'm sorry, please go back." Lu Qiuyan said with a slight smile.
