Li Hanyao was dressed in men's clothes, so it was inevitable that she would not be able to explain her identity to her subordinates when she asked to see her, so she sent the Lei brothers to go first. The Lei family brother is from Banqiao Village, and he knew Huang Xiu, and when he met him, he told him that the chess was coming.

Huang Xiu hurriedly ordered: Please come in quickly.

Li Hanyao went in.

Huang Xiu instructed the servants to prepare tea, changed into a gray brocade robe with eighty percent of the new ones, sat upright in the hall, thinking about what to do next, his heart was slightly worried, his eyes looked out of the door, and he was stunned for a moment.

What a handsome boy!

Well, it's familiar.

Li Hanyao looked at the middle-aged Confucian sitting in the hall, and was also slightly stunned. Huang Xiu, who left the countryside, faded away from laziness and leisure, with majestic sword eyebrows, sharp phoenix eyes, handsome and beautiful, exuding an abundant heroic righteousness in the pride, plus wild and uninhibited, it is not unreasonable to be able to be famous in Shilin.

Huang Xiu recognized the person and couldn't help laughing.

After laughing, he said with a straight face: "You still know to come!" ”

Li Hanyao bowed down with a smile and bowed: "Uncle is here, how can I not come." With such a big bustle, wouldn't it be a pity not to come and see it. ”

Huang Xiu shouted solemnly: "Kneel! ”

Li Hanyao blinked her dark apricot eyes, full of confusion.

Huang Xiu saw that she was at a loss, and his heart was anxious, and he said with a straight face: "Why, my old man has taught you all these years, although the days are short, but you are doing your best, can't you afford to kneel?" He hinted at Li Hanyao's apprenticeship.

However, he is a little weak-hearted -

Dedication does not stand up to scrutiny.

Fortunately, Li Hanyao didn't scrutinize, and immediately knelt down and said, "Afford it!" The younger generation didn't kowtow because the uncle never liked these rules. Who would have thought that I would kneel ...... today" Speaking of this, she was stunned again, and her eyes unconsciously glanced at the Huang family servant holding the tea tray next to her, what did she mean by asking her to serve tea?

She is a very smart person, and after a little thought, she thought of a possibility, but she couldn't believe it, and her heart "thumped" and jumped.

Now apprenticeship, is it considered deception?

If you don't worship, you may miss the opportunity.

Huang Xiu saw this girl's dark eyes rolling around, looking unthinkable, he was so angry, and scolded in his heart: "Do you still need to hesitate?" Don't hurry up and apprentice! Do you want my old man to ask you? ”

Li Hanyao has always lacked courage, but this matter cannot be solved by courage alone.

Thinking back then, when she was young, she wanted to worship the handsome Confucian in front of her as a teacher, and thought to herself: "He is an elder, I am a junior, isn't it normal for a junior to kowtow to an elder?" Every time we met, I kowtowed, and after kowtowing too much, he pitied me and understood the courtesy, and his heart softened, maybe he would accept me as a disciple. ”

Who knew that Huang Xiu's heart was as hard as iron.

How did you say it at the time?

Oh, yes:

Xiao Yao'er just knelt down, with a smile on her face, and before she said auspicious words, Huang Xiu drank tea, as if she had been scalded by tea, "hissed", hurriedly put down the teacup, and hurriedly called her up, and was afraid that she would not get up, and said with a straight face: "You are not my person!" I can't afford this. ”

Although Xiao Yao'er is smart, she is young in the end, and she was stupid by his outspoken and disgusted refusal, so embarrassed that her little face turned purple, and her hands were unconsciously wringed, and she couldn't give birth to wisdom in a hurry, and she didn't know what to do. After holding it for a while, he squeezed out a smile that was more ugly than crying, and said, "Then when the uncle can stand it, the younger generation will knock again." After saying that, he got up and stood there in a daze.

Huang Xiu was surprised by her wit at the time.

Because there is room for this excuse.

After thinking about it for a while, I felt that it was wrong, what did it mean to wait until he could stand it and then kowtow? It's not that he can't stand it now, it's that he won't bear it!

The little girl put gold on her face.

He stared at Xiao Yao'er and was silent.

Xiao Yao'er was stared at by him.

In her limited years, if something she didn't do well, her father and mother always encouraged her to say that when she grew up a little more, or persevered, she would one day be able to do it well. Therefore, Huang Xiu said that she couldn't stand her head, she couldn't think of words to deal with it, and when she was in a hurry, she said, "Wait until the uncle can stand the younger generation and knock again", she didn't expect anything wrong with saying this, and she didn't feel as if it was wrong when she stood up.

As the saying goes, "a blessing in disguise", the most direct benefit is: since then, her psychological endurance has increased; As the saying goes, "Eat a trench grows wisdom", so she kept in mind the lessons of the past.

Now that she has grown up, her adaptability has increased, and she has experience in handling things, when she faced the embarrassment of kneeling again, she decided to bring up the old things again, let Huang Xiu think about it carefully, don't wait for her to kneel, accept her and regret it; Inevitably mentioning the old things made Huang Xiu angry and ashamed, suspecting her of revealing her shortcomings, she decided to use a trick to "secretly Chen Cang" to cover up the old things under her admiration for Huang Xiu.

After thinking about it, she raised her face and said seriously: "The younger generation has long wanted to kowtow to the uncle, and I am afraid of making the uncle impatient." Although the uncle said that he couldn't stand it, in the hearts of the younger generations, the uncle was like a master and a father, and he could afford it completely. ”

Huang Xiu heard the first sentence, and before he had time to be happy, he heard the words "can't stand it", he was also an extremely smart person, and immediately remembered his vicious face back then, and in addition to being embarrassed, he was really annoyed and angry.

"Isn't that a quick knock!!

He was about to die of anger.

This is really the fast news of the world.

Li Hanyao still couldn't believe it, and confirmed again: "Am I really knocked? ”

Huang Xiu said firmly: "Knock! ”

He doesn't want this old face anymore.

The events in front of him somehow touched him, reminded him of a past event buried in the depths of his memory, pierced his heart, and made him open the door to accept apprentices, lest he miss it, and it became a regret again.

As he gets older, he can't stand it anymore!

The servant on the side was so frightened by his shout that he almost threw away the tea tray in his hand, but he glared at him fiercely and hurriedly lowered his head.

"Disciple to meet the teacher!"

Li Hanyao clearly saw the pain that flashed in Huang Xiu's eyes, confused and surprised, and didn't dare to delay any longer, so he solemnly kowtowed three times, took the tea from the servant's hand, raised it high, and said earnestly: "Master, please drink tea." ”

Huang Xiu showed a smile and took the tea.

"Get up."

"Thank you."

Li Hanyao got up happily, and the servants hurriedly congratulated her and Huang Xiu: "Congratulations to the master, you have accepted the disciple; Congratulations girl! ”

Huang Xiu said with a smile: "Reward the moon silver." ”

Li Hanyao untied the purse, first turned out the gold leaves inside and stuffed it to the servant, and left some broken silver, handed him the purse, and said with a smile: "Uncle Lu, you have taken care of your teacher all the year round, and you have worked hard." The money was used to buy alcohol and drink. No matter how hard my uncle is to give the rest to outsiders, it will make everyone happy. ”

Lao Lu saw that Li Hanyao was so generous, and he thought thoughtfully, not to say that he was rewarding his apprentice, but to thank him for taking care of his mentor's hard work and rewarding, which not only showed filial piety, but also avoided the bounty overpowering his mentor, he didn't dare to accept it, and he was very comfortable. Li Hanyao asked him to send a reward to the people who followed, obviously he didn't treat him as an outsider, he was more intimate and agreeable, he smiled from ear to ear, and hurriedly bowed and said, "Thank you, girl." He thanked Huang Xiu again, and then went out and distributed the silver to everyone.
