Xiao Yue listened to Mr. Cao's concerns, she didn't think twice, she immediately took a cup of tea from the stone table, regardless of the snow on the ground, in front of Mr. Cao, bent her knees, raised the teacup in her hand, and said in her mouth: "Apprentice Wenyue, give tea to the master." ”

Mr. Cao was stunned at the moment.

An Pu on the side saw that Brother Yue didn't want to deceive Lord Mu, he really wanted to worship the master as a teacher, he was very happy, so Brother Yue was the same name as him, he knew that the master loved himself the most, so he stepped forward, took Mr. Cao's arm and said: "Master, haven't you always praised Brother Yue for his outstanding intelligence and unparalleled in the world? ”

Mr. Cao didn't hate Xiao Yue, but admired him very much, but he was frank and unrestrained all his life, worthy of heaven and earth, he said a panic today, and he also wanted to help Xiao Yue, and now Xiao Yue has made an apprenticeship to him, if he takes the teacup and drinks Xiao Yue's tea, then it means that he officially accepts Xiao Yue as an apprentice, which is not a casual thing for him.

"Xiaoyue, you get up first. Mr. Cao held Xiaoyue's hand.

"The master is reluctant to drink Xiaoyue's cup of tea. Xiao Yue was a little anxious, she didn't want to use Mr. Cao's prestige to clear the obstacles for herself, she just felt that in this world, the feeling of being helpless was really uncomfortable, even if she found a nominal master, it was better than being alone.

Mr. Cao sighed and said, "It's too cold on the ground. This apprentice is not in a hurry. ”

Xiao Yue's heart was crossed, and she said her thoughts, "Actually, I know that you dislike my qualifications and are not worthy of being your student, but I gave advice to Lord Wang and made a strategy to control the water, which was indeed inspired by Mr., even if you don't recognize me as a student today, in my heart, you have long been my master." ”

Mr. Cao listened to Xiaoyue's words so resolutely, knowing that her mind was unchangeable, he took the teacup in her hand and helped him up, but he didn't drink the cup of tea.

"Xiaoyue, the old man doesn't dislike you, but he is ashamed of himself! Even if you say that you are inspired by me, it is better than the blue! This cup of tea, the old man dare not drink it, I am ashamed to be ashamed!"

When Xiao Yue saw him take the teacup, she thought that he had agreed to her apprenticeship, but she listened to him and had a sad expression on her face.

"The old man doesn't know if you are really apprenticed to the teacher, or for something else," Mr. Cao looked at her and said word by word: "The relationship between master and apprentice is comparable to the relationship between father and son, and the old man knows that you are not an ordinary person, so he is more cautious." ”

Xiao Yue lowered her head and blushed, because at this moment, she suddenly remembered that her doctor's supervisor was also a noble and respected old professor like Mr. Cao, and being rejected by Mr. Cao made her feel very uncomfortable.

An Pu looked up and saw Xiao Yue's sad appearance, he couldn't stand still, pulled Mr. Cao's sleeve and said, "Master, I see that Brother Yue is really apprenticed, you see that the ground is full of snow water, he didn't even look at it, so he knelt down to apprentice." ”

Mr. Cao looked at the large watermark on Xiaoyue's knee, shook his head and said, "Come into the house and talk, it's too cold outside." He took Xiao Yuejing's cup of tea and entered the house.

An Pu stepped forward, took Xiao Yue's hand and said, "Brother Yue, let's go in too." ”

Xiao Yue smiled bitterly and looked down at him and nodded.

An Pu comforted her and said: "Brother Yue, I think Master will definitely agree to accept you as an apprentice, I know Master too well, if there is another person now, he would have left a long time ago, he will let you in and talk to him now, there is still hope, don't be sad." ”

Xiao Yue squeezed out a smile and said gratefully, "Thank you, Yu'er." ”

The two entered the house hand in hand.

Mr. Cao had already sat down, he saw the two of them coming in hand in hand, coughing for a long time, An Pucai was reluctant to put Xiaoyue's hand and stood next to Mr. Cao.

"Satsuki, sit down too. Mr. Cao smiled and said, "Actually, the old man and I are anti-guest, and today you are the master." ”

Xiao Yue smiled reluctantly, and didn't speak, just looked at the teacup in Mr. Cao's hand.

"The old man heard that Xiaoyue, you don't have a teacher?" Mr. Cao held the teacup, neither put it down, nor drank the tea, but just carefully rubbed the lines on the teacup with his hands.

"I said that I was self-taught, and that was a big lie. "It's impossible for Xiaoyue to tell her about crossing this matter, first, no one will believe it, they will think she is lying, and second, there is no way to verify the truth or falsehood.

"Oh, then dare to ask what is the name of Master Xiaoyue?" Mr. Cao was very curious to know what could teach a student like Xiaoyue in the world today.

"There are two of my masters, one is Shushan and the other is Xuehai. Satsuki knew that her former teachers were now very far away from her, and she could only blur them.

"Shushan, Xuehai?" Mr. Cao was even more surprised, "The old man has never heard of these two people. ”

"I don't know if Mr. Cao has ever heard such a sentence. Xiaoyue said word by word: "There is a diligent path in Shushan, and there is no end to learning from the sea." ”

"There is a diligent path in the Book Mountain," Mr. Cao held the teacup with one hand, stroked the white beard with the other, and muttered in his mouth: "Learning the sea is endless." ”

An Pu was also confused, "Master, why can't I understand." ”

Mr. Cao had a clear expression on his face, he held the teacup in his hand to his mouth, and slowly drank the tea inside.

Xiao Yue and An Pu were also very happy watching from the sidelines.

Xiao Yue stood up and knelt in front of Mr. Cao again, "Apprentice bow to Master." ”

An Pu was also dancing happily on the side.

After Mr. Cao finished drinking the tea, he handed the teacup to An Pu and touched his beard, "Xiaoyue, I can take you as an apprentice, but I have two conditions." ”

"Well, Master, please. Xiao Yue looked at Mr. Cao happily.

Mr. Cao is also very happy at the moment, although he heard that Xiaoyue has no teacher, but he is still afraid that Xiaoyue has already apprenticed, and he doesn't want people to think that he is superior in Xiaoyue's intelligence and takes advantage of the fisherman.

"First, we are only nominal mentors and apprentices. He saw Xiao Yue's face change suddenly, and explained: "With your current intelligence and knowledge, I can't teach you anything more, so it is still the old man who took advantage of it and picked up such a good apprentice for nothing." ”

"Master, my experience and your way of life, I should study it well. Xiao Yue said sincerely

"Of course, if you don't dislike the old man's verbosity, then I'm not welcome, and I'll say whatever I want. Mr. Cao said jokingly.

"Well, if there is anything wrong with Xiaoyue in the future, please speak up. Satsuki nodded repeatedly.

Mr. Cao stroked his beard, "Anyway, if we meet in private in the future, don't follow the courtesy of the master and apprentice, the old man will feel that he is taking advantage of you." He didn't wait for Xiao Yue to object, and then continued: "The second condition, the time I take you as an apprentice is not counted from today, but from the time you meet me in Luodai Town, we all declare it to the outside world, how about it?"

"Of course, there is no problem with this, if Master is willing, it is okay to push the time forward. Xiao Yue felt that Mr. Cao's plan was probably because he was afraid that others would think that they were worshipping a master-apprentice relationship for the sake of profit.

"The third condition," Mr. Cao looked at An Pu and said to Xiaoyue, "You come here, the old man only talks to you." ”
