Chapter 24, apprenticeship with Bai Jingqi
As the questions were answered perfectly by Liu Guangqi one by one, he even threw out one or two novel ideas from time to time. Bai Jingqi's eyes looking at Liu Guangqi became more and more interested
"Hahaha, what a seedling, what your teacher said is not wrong at all, you have read it all in such a short time, and it is not easy at all. Come on, prepare lunch, I'm going to talk to my apprentice today. ”
Bai Jingqi hugged Liu Guangqi's shoulders and shouted loudly.
"I knew you could."
Bai Mei, who was on the side, knew that it was done when she heard the old man's words, and Liu Guangqi, who was also excited, pinched her face.
It happened that it was the meal at this time, and under Bai Jingqi's urging, a table of chicken, duck and fish meat was quickly served, and as Liu Guangqi's teacher, Bai Mei naturally stayed.
At first, the Bai family thought that Liu Guangqi would definitely be very excited when he saw such a table of dishes, just like when Zheng Lao Fang saw the pancake and rolled meat.
But Liu Guangqi's performance was beyond their expectations, not only did he eat very gently, but he was also very particular, and the table manners were not left behind, not at all like a child from a working family, he was even more particular than some young masters.
In particular, Bai Jingqi also opened a bottle of red wine, and Liu Guangqi's inadvertently exposed small habits made the family unable to see through him, such as the way to hold the wine glass, the posture of clinking glasses, the way of tasting wine, the small action of shaking the glass, and Liu Guangqi's conversation.
If it weren't for the somewhat strange clothes on Liu Guangqi's body, they would definitely think that this was a rich young master who came out of the mansion.
The more Li Xiangxiu on the side looked at Liu Guangqi, the more satisfied she became, isn't this what she imagined the young master of the mansion to look like. She has always been worried about what kind of Li Tianyi should be cultivated, but now that she is okay, Liu Guangqi directly gave her a template.
"When I go back, I'll ask people to sort out the medical cases at home and move them to the back room, if you want to read them in the future, come and read them, you're welcome, you can't bring back so many books."
After being full of wine and food, Bai Jingqi patted Liu Guangqi on the shoulder and arranged.
"Well, I got the master."
Liu Guangqi agreed without excuses. Because he knew that what Bai Jingqi said was true, it is estimated that the medical cases recorded by the Bai family for generations of medical practice cannot be described in a few books, and it is estimated that they have to be counted in boxes.
"Guangqi, you go to school when you go back, but you have to take care of our family's providence, he is two years younger than you, don't let people bully him at school."
"Don't worry, master, I will definitely be optimistic about Providence, I am still a little popular in school, and those bastards have to sell me a face."
Liu Guangqi patted his chest and reassured
"That's fine"
Li Xiangxiu nodded with satisfaction.
After saying this, it was not too early, just when Liu Guangqi was about to leave, he suddenly felt that he was too hasty in this apprenticeship today, not only was there no parents present, but even there was only one witness, Bai Mei, which was really shabby, and it was really a bit unreasonable that he did not give the apprenticeship to the master.
Thinking of this, Liu Guangqi turned around directly, knelt in front of Bai Jingqi, and kowtowed three times respectfully.
"What are you doing kid, hurry up, now that it's New China, I'm not going to kowtow to apprentices."
Liu Guangqi's move made Bai Jingqi and the others stunned, but they immediately understood what Liu Guangqi meant. Pulling Liu Guangqi's arm was about to help Liu Guangqi up.
"Although the times have changed, respecting teachers and respecting the way is the virtue of our Chinese nation, and this will not change."
Saying that, Liu Guangqi kowtowed to Bai Jingqi two more times, made up three heads, and then was dragged up from the ground by Bai Jingqi.
After the head knocked, this is the apprenticeship has not been given yet, and then Liu Guangtian reached into his pocket and took out a pair of red and bright walnuts that had been plated and held them up to Bai Jingqi.
"What a beautiful lion's head. It's not cheap, right, where did you get it? ”
Bai Jingqi was stunned for a moment when he saw the lion head in front of him, although he didn't like to play these literary games, but he also knew the preciousness of these things, such a big, round walnut was hard to find, not to mention that it had been plated out of the pulp, it was even more precious, this had to be put in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, the prince of the Eight Banners, Baylor, who couldn't figure out how much money to buy.
"This walnut was left by my grandfather, and our family is poor and has nothing of value, so we can only use this thing as an apprenticeship. Don't be disgusted. ”
As he spoke, Liu Guangqi stuffed the walnuts into Bai Jingqi's hands. This pair of walnuts looks very bluffing, in fact, it is the product of acquired industrialization, but it is not easy to grow so big and match the right, Liu Guangqi spent hundreds of dollars to buy it home and give it to his grandfather, but he didn't expect it to be like this after ten years of hard work.
Taking this thing as a worship ceremony, on the one hand, saves money, and on the other hand, it looks face-saving, in the eyes of rich people, this thing is much stronger than a few catties of meat.
"You kid, let me give you something. Xiangxiu, bring me the pen in my study. ”
Bai Jingqi looked at the three-edged lion head in his hand and decided to return the salute, so soon, Li Xiangxiu walked over with a very beautiful gold pen.
"This pen was bought and given to me by a foreign friend from abroad, and I have always carried it with me, and now I am older and use less, so I will give it to you while I am happy."
As he spoke, Bai Jingqi stuffed the golden pen into Liu Guangqi's hand.
"How can this be, this is too precious"
Liu Guangqi pretended to excuse himself.
"What's precious, it's not necessarily as valuable as your two walnuts, so you can keep it."
Bai Jingqi shoved the pen into Liu Guangqi's arms and sat back on his recliner.
"You just take it, this is also my grandfather's heart. That's not right. ”
Bai Mei was persuading Liu Guangqi, and suddenly she seemed to remember something, and she shouted with a disgraced face.
"It's not right, that's not right. Isn't that a good thing?"
Li Xiangxiu asked on the side
"Originally, he was my student and my younger generation, but now he has become my grandfather's apprentice, won't he become a generation older than me, so how can it be? No, no, this division can't worship. ”
"Hahahaha, you're just remembering now, it's too late. This matter was promoted by you, and you will call Uncle Shi obediently when you see someone in the future. ”
Bai Jingqi heard his granddaughter's complaint and smiled gloatingly. Li Xiangxiu on the side also covered her mouth and laughed.
"Haha, it's okay Teacher Bai, let's talk about it in the future, I still call you Teacher Bai outside, and call the master the old man, so that no one will know."
Liu Guangqi saw Bai Mei's resentful look and thought of a compromise solution.
"That's a good idea, that's it."
Bai Jingqi clapped his hand and said, he didn't care so much about Liu Guangqi shouting at him or not, and the reason why he accepted Liu Guangqi was because he wanted to find something to do for himself when he was older, and passed on his medical skills by the way.
"What's good, why do you still call me Teacher Bai outside, why do you really want me to call you Uncle, there is no door"
After saying that, Bai Mei stomped her feet and walked out.
"Master, I've been out long enough, it's time to go back."
After Bai Mei left, Liu Guangqi also said goodbye to Bai Jingqi and left the Bai family's mansion in Bai Mei's steps.
"This kid has a lot to accomplish in the future."
Bai Jingqi looked at Liu Guangqi's distant back and muttered to Li Xiangxiu on the side.
"Just this time, I can see something."
"There are many things that can be seen, and with the unconcealable wealth and nobility in him, his future achievements are destined to not be small."
"That's right, you said that he was a child from a poor worker, how could he have such a good cultivation. It's not like the people in our yard who are children, the way I hold the cup, the action of tasting wine is exactly the same as that taught by those foreigners, what I do is not as standard as what he does, and..."
After Liu Guangqi left, Li Xiangxiu and Bai Jingqi began a discussion about Liu Guangqi.
