Chapter 51: A bit of a mess of generations?
"Don't worry, can you also promise me three conditions?"
"Stinky boy! Still tell me about the conditions? Did you regret it? ”
"Master, don't worry, listen to me first, okay?"
"You say, I can promise you one condition!"
Xue Lao knew that Chu Zhen was a child who knew how to measure, and he also wanted to hear what he thought.
The reason why Chu Zhen wanted to make conditions with Xue Lao was not to take the opportunity to ask for any benefits.
In fact, being able to worship Xue Lao as a teacher and become a disciple who entered the room and closed the door, Chu Zhen was already so satisfied that he didn't want it.
"Thank you, Master! I agree to all three of your conditions, and I promise to study hard and be a good disciple of yours. ”
Chu Zhen betrayed himself and continued:
"Actually, I only have one request, that is, you need to keep a low profile about accepting me as a disciple who closes the door to the house."
"Huh? Why? ”
Xue Lao didn't expect Chu Zhizhen to make such a request.
"That's right, Master, I've heard a saying that says, be a low-key person and do things in a high-profile manner."
Chu Zhen inadvertently "created" a famous sentence in advance, and Xue Lao couldn't help but nod when he heard it.
"I also know your identity now, you have a high status in our Huaxia circles, whether it is theoretical, academic or political, as your closed disciple, you will naturally receive the attention of others, and some people will even take the initiative to approach you through me."
Xue Lao probably understood what Chu Zhen wanted to say, and a smile appeared on his face again, waiting for Chu Zhen to follow.
"Don't blame me for thinking too much, I'm still a freshman in high school, and I hope I'm just an ordinary student in the eyes of others."
"Xiao Zhen, I understand what you mean! Be a low-key person and do things in a high-profile manner, it's good that you can understand this truth! ”
Xue Lao patted Chu Zhen's shoulder and said very gratefully.
"I don't like bullying and cronyism the most in my life, and our relationship can be kept out of publicity. Of course, if someone really bullies you, you have to ask me if I agree first. ”
The second half of the sentence is domineering, after all, Xue Lao has been in a high position for many years, and he never hesitates when he needs to kill decisively.
"Master, mighty! I'm relieved to have your sentence! ”
"But there is also a limit to being low-key, accept you as a disciple who enters the room and closes the door, and you can't be sloppy during the ceremony, and some people will be invited to watch the ceremony in a small area, and your parents will also want to meet you when they have a chance in the future." Don't worry, leave these things to Master, and your task is to study hard and make progress every day. ”
"By the way, Master, when it comes to studying, I want to borrow the English version of "The Third Wave" first, and then I also want to read "Zizhi Tongjian", can you recommend two more copies for me?"
Seeing that Chu Zhen did not forget to read, Xue Lao naturally supported him, he thought about it and said:
"Xiao Zhen, you should read the two books of "Tang Ji" and "Five Dynasties" first, in terms of content, they are more suitable for you."
Chu Zhen hurriedly nodded in thanks.
At this time, there was a few gentle knocks on the door of the study, and then Wu Fangying's voice reminded that it was time to eat.
Chu Zhen was not verbose when he heard it, and immediately found out the three books "The Third Wave", "Tang Ji", and "Five Dynasties" and put them on Xue Lao's desk. Then ask Xue Lao Dao:
"Master, is there a suitable bag?"
Xue Lao smiled:
"I knew you'd ask, well, wrap it up with this."
As he spoke, Xue Lao took out a stack of kraft paper from the cabinet on the side of the desk and handed it to Chu Zhen.
Chu Zhen neatly wrapped the three books with a double layer of kraft paper, and then wrapped the three books together with a piece of kraft paper, so that the books could be protected to the greatest extent.
The master and apprentice immediately went out of the study together, and Xue Lao took Chu Zhen directly to the dining room.
The dining room of Xue's old family is a semi-open dining room closest to the kitchen, and the ventilation effect is very good.
Before he walked into the dining room, Chu Zhen could already smell the aroma of the food.
"Huh? Why does it still smell like crab? ”
You must know that Chu Zhen did not return to the capital after graduating from university in the previous life, but stayed in Yangcheng, in addition to being mainly with Huang Ting, there is also an important reason that eating in Yangcheng!
When Chu Zhen was young, he often pretended to be a gluttonous gourmet, not only proficient in all kinds of Yangcheng cuisine, but also all over the country. Especially after working as a trainer, I traveled everywhere and tasted almost all the delicacies in all provinces of China!
Chu Zhen was very confident that there should be crabs in tonight's dishes, and they were hairy crabs that were rare in the capital!
At this time, Chu Zhen heard Xue Lao laugh and said:
"Hehe, Xiaozhen, you have a good mouth today, there is one thing you shouldn't have eaten today."
When Xue Lao said this, he suddenly thought of a little evil, and said in his heart that Chu Zhen's little guy was not very old, and he said that he wanted to be a low-key person. This time, I wonder if you will be so light and breezy when you eat crabs?
So Xue Lao stopped talking and took Chu Zhen directly into the dining room.
At this time, there was only one woman about sixty years old in the dining room, and Chu Zhen estimated that it should be the housework in the Xue family.
"Old man, are you here? Who is this? The woman greeted Xue Lao.
"Aunt Wu, this is Chu Zhen, you can call him Xiao Zhen, he is Xiao Zheng's classmate, and he is also my new disciple! After that, he would come to our house for dinner every Thursday. ”
"Xiao Zhen, this is Aunt Wu, you must not offend her, or the hard dishes you want to eat will definitely be useless!"
Xue Lao, who accepted the genius apprentice, was in a very good mood, and introduced the two of them with a joke.
"Hello Aunt Wu! I also help my mom cook at home, so if you need help in the future, just call me! ”
Although Chu Zhen was not a middle-aged and elderly woman killer in his previous life, he also belonged to the kind of woman who was very popular, and this opening made Aunt Wu smile so much that she couldn't close her mouth.
"Okay, your name is Xiao Zhen, tell Aunt Wu what you want to eat in the future! Come and sit down. ”
Chu Zhen didn't sit down, but waited for Xue Lao to sit down, and then took the initiative to sit in the lower position.
After sitting down, the first thing Chu Zhen saw was a plate of hairy crabs in the middle of the dining table!
Of course, he won't stretch out his hand, because the people are not there, which is the most basic etiquette.
Chu Zhen took a look at the four seats left in addition to Xue Lao and himself.
In less than a minute, everyone arrived, Wu Fangying, Qin Zheng, Aunt Wu, and a little Lori, Wu Fangying's husband Cedar was not at home and went to Henan Province to carry out archaeological tasks.
Before the meal, Xue Lao said to the people:
"Before eating, I would like to introduce a new guest, Chu Zhen. Xiao Zhen, Xiao Zheng and Aunt Wu, you know, this is my granddaughter Xue Jingyi, this is Jingyi's mother, you can call her Sister Fang Ying, or call her sister-in-law. ”
When Xue Lao said this, everyone, including Chu Zhen, was stunned.
"Dad, are you mistaken? Isn't he a classmate of Xiao Zheng? Why do you call me sister-in-law? ”
Xue Lao thinks about it, this generation is a bit messy!
