Chapter 4: Apprenticeship

The high priest was silent, and the black-robed soul master on the left said: "Chu Qin, Lord Shangguan is the head of the Military and Political Division, and his only daughter does not need to participate in the selection if she wants to become a child attendant, you should know this rule." ”

Chu Qin replied: "Chief priest, subordinates know this rule, but the Imperial Soul Division also has its own rules, and the Imperial Soul Master has the right to choose his own child attendant, and I want to take care of it." ”

Another black-robed soul master said: "Chu Qin, Shangguan girl named her to be your child servant, you have also seen her, she is beautiful and smart, why do you want to refuse people thousands of miles away?" ”

Chu Qin replied: "From the priest, does the Imperial Soul Division even have to listen to the words of a little girl?" ”

"Presumptuous!" From the priest stood up.

"Alright." The high priest said: "Chu Qin, you can take care of it, but Shangguan He must be your child attendant, otherwise you will not have a child attendant this time." ”

Chu Qin bowed and saluted, "Subordinates obey orders." ”

Xian Bai was about to leave by the white-robed soul master who was lured, but no one wanted Lixia and stayed until the end, perhaps because she was the winner designated by Gu Du, and the soul master felt that she was incapable and should not be alive, at least Gu Du thought so in his heart.

But in the end, Rexia became the high priest's child attendant.

After the distribution, the high priest said, "This selection is over, and we are dispersed." ”

Everyone salutes the High Priest together, and then each of the Soul Master's original Attendants comes to pick up the new Attendants.

Gu Du was led to a large courtyard, surrounded by houses on all sides, with blue bricks and black tiles, gold lacquer window lattices, purple doors, and zigzag patterns painted on the doors and windows.

Directly below the patio is a stone table, on which is painted an extremely complicated pattern, there are no chairs, and there are four pools around the stone table, the size of the four pools, just enough to wrap the stone table.

Follow Chu Qin into the house on the left, the house is about five zhang long, about two zhang wide, surrounded by wooden shelves to the top, in the middle is a large long table, every big step there is a chair, above the table hanging five glass plates, each plate has seven lights, illuminating the room is extremely bright.

Chu Qin didn't speak, took a book from the west shelf, and then sat down at the table and began to read, his boy waiter stood behind him, his eyes drooping expressionlessly.

Gu Du didn't dare to ask, he could only observe, and found that the boy waiter was standing on the left, so Gu Du leaned in and stood next to the boy waiter.

Half an hour passed, Chu Qin coughed lightly, the boy waiter turned around and walked out, Gu Du hesitated, followed the boy waiter, he had to know what the boy waiter should do.

The boy waiter went out, went to the house in the north to make tea, brought it back and put it next to Chu Qin, and then stood behind Chu Qin with his eyes down.

Gu Du understood, and coughed lightly because his throat was dry, and he had to make tea.

Gu Du swallowed, he was actually thirsty.

The Tong attendant touched him with his hand, and then walked out again, Gu Du hurriedly followed, entered the water room, and the Tong attendant took a teacup and handed it to him, saying, "Make your own tea and drink it, and clean the cup after drinking." ”

Gu Du took it with both hands, bowed to him, and asked, "What do you call it?" ”

The boy didn't answer, turned around and left.

Gu Du didn't have the heart to make tea and drink it, so he scooped half a cup of cold water with a cup and drank it, washed the cup again, put it back in its place, and hurried back to the study.

After more than half an hour, a young girl walked in, wearing a yellow robe, with long hair tied back behind her head, and a slender braid on each sideburn, with a yellow ribbon tied at the end of the braid.

This girl is extraordinarily beautiful, with a goose egg face, apricot eyes, eyebrows like a crescent moon, a small nose, red cherry lips, plump peach cheeks, and a slender pink neck.

The girl walked straight over, raised her hand and dialed Gu Du, Gu Du hurriedly got out of the way, and the girl stood in Gu Du's place, like the boy waiter, with her eyes down and silent.

Gu Du didn't know where to stand, so he pondered for a moment and stood behind the two of them.

After more than half an hour, Chu Qin said, "I'm tired." ”

The boy reached out and picked up the tea bowl and walked out, the girl picked up the book on the table and put it back on the shelf, Gu Du was confused again, and he didn't know what he should do.

Chu Qin stood up and walked out, the girl followed, and Gu Du also hurriedly followed.

Outside, Chu Qin stood at the stone table and looked at the patterns on the table, until the boy waiter came out of the water room, and then turned around and walked towards the courtyard gate.

Leaving the big courtyard, passing through a courtyard, entering a gate, it is a small courtyard, the north is a two-story building, the door opens to the south, there is a large water tank in the middle of the courtyard, there are five fish of different colors in it, and there are green leafy plants floating on the water.

Entering the small building, Chu Qin sat on the collapse against the north wall, and the boy brought two soft cushions and placed them on the ground a big step in front of Chu Qin.

The girl hurriedly knelt on the cushion on the left side and said, "Disciple Shangguan He pays a visit to the soul master." ”

Then three prostrations.

Gu Du had already understood, but he didn't know what to do, but fortunately he had Shangguan He to guide him.

Gu Du hurriedly knelt on the cushion on the right and said, "Disciple Gu Du pays homage to the Soul Master. ”

Then also three prostrations.

Chu Qin said, "Get up." ”

The two stood up, and Shangguan He bowed to the Tong servant again, and said, "Meet Senior Brother Hu." ”

Gu Du followed and said.

Tong Shi replied: "Foolish brother nonsense, senior sister Shangguan is good, senior brother Gu is good." ”

Shangguan He straightened up, then turned to look at Gu Du.

Gu Du was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses, hurriedly saluted again, and said, "Meet Senior Sister Shangguan." ”

Shangguan He replied and said, "Senior Brother Gu is good." ”

Chu Qin said: "Today you worship me, you are my child, you can ask Hu Yan if you have any questions in the future, and he can't answer it and ask me again." ”

Shangguan He responded: "Yes." ”

Gu Du hurriedly followed and said, "Yes." ”

Chu Qin said again: "I promise each of you three requests, and you can make them during your time as my child's attendant." ”

Shangguan He said: "Qi Qi Soul Master, the disciple wants to serve the Soul Master. ”

Chu Qin frowned slightly and replied, "Okay." ”

Shangguan He's face was flushed with excitement, and he bowed down and said, "Thank you Soul Master." ”

Chu Qin looked at Gu Du, Gu Du's eyes flickered, and Chu Qin said: "If you have any requirements, just mention it, if I can't do it, I will let you change to something else." ”

Gu Du lowered his head and said: "The disciple has no mother since he was a child, and he has no father at the age of ten, and the gangsters on Bitter Wine Street have always taken pleasure in humiliating and beating their disciples, and the disciples want to take revenge on them. ”

Chu Qin said, "Okay." ”

Gu Du was stunned, he didn't expect Chu Qin to agree.

Chu Qin said again: "Hu Yan, tomorrow take my waist card to Commander Yu, ask him to send a team of people to follow you, and you take Gu Du to arrest people." ”

Gu Du hurriedly said: "Soul Master, the disciple doesn't want to kill people, he just wants to fight each of them one-on-one." ”

The corners of Chu Qin's mouth hooked up with a smile, and said, "That's better, but you still have to have officers and soldiers to follow, otherwise who will be one-on-one with you?" ”
