After Nanshi got up, the old man picked up the "Human Sentiment Post" and blew lightly a few more breaths.

Seeing that the ink was dry, he gently folded it up and put it away.

Just such a dime of rough-edged paper, in his heart, it seems to be much more valuable than the previous set of enamel fish porcelain.

Nanshi watched the old man keep moving around, and his expression seemed a little sad.

Seeing that the old man finally stopped, Nan Shi asked, "Brother Snow Monk, since it has been decided, how should this ceremony be carried out according to your wishes?" ”

"Hmmm! Although we don't use the secular set, we don't need any apprenticeship ceremonies, but the ceremony can't be abolished, and I ask Brother Jinyu to help me preside over it! ”

The old man seemed to be more light-hearted because his wish had been granted, and he pointed to the long scroll of Pu Ru and said, "That object is a bundle!" ”

Nanshi hesitated and said: "Apprenticeship is a big deal, do you want to discuss a time and invite some old friends to watch the ceremony?" ”

The old man took out half a bottle of old wine from under the dining table, picked up a wine glass, put it in Nanshi's hand, and smiled self-deprecatingly: "Being old and not dying is a thief, at my age, how can I have any old friends?" ”

After a while, he said: "Even if there is such a half, I will write a post at that time, and Xiao Chang can visit him when he goes to the capital." ”

The old man's words were a little bit lower than the rising autumn wind.

"Hehe, Jin Feng is the main killer, I'm afraid those old guys won't be able to take a few stabs!"

……

As Nanshi said, apprenticeship is never a trivial matter.

The meaning of a student and a disciple is very different.

That's really a teacher for one day and a father for life.

Not to mention, even in the Republic of China period for several decades, the master treated the disciple who passed on the mantle as much as he treated the son, and the apprentice respected the teacher as his own father, and the difference between the two was just a blood relationship.

Apprentices choose teachers, and teachers choose apprentices.

Famous teachers are rare, and apprentices are also hard to find.

The old-school people know that it is much more difficult to accept a disciple with good moral character than to meet a famous teacher, which is also the reason why many craftsmen in the past could not meet good disciples and would rather let the craft be lost.

The road knows the horsepower, and the people will see it for a long time.

Whether you are a good disciple or not requires a long time of testing and tempering. Only when the master feels that this disciple is worthy of imparting the mantle, will he give it to him.

During the long period of trials and tribulations, there are only four words to describe it: the apprentice is difficult.

How embarrassing is it?

Some businesses even signed a contract before going to the master's house, life and death have nothing to do with the family, it is all arranged by the master, but if there is such a major event as unclean hands and feet, the master can directly beat him to death, and the government will not care.

Of course, the antique shop is not so strict, but it is not much better.

The apprentices brought by the shopkeeper of the antique shop first had to work for the shopkeeper for three years for free.

These three years of work are more than just working in the store.

Everything in the master's house, including laundry, cooking, and washing urinals, the apprentice has to do it, and he only has no money for food.

This one is called a child.

After the three years of apprenticeship were completed, and the apprentice was promoted from apprentice to apprentice, the master began to teach skills, and this teaching is also exquisite.

Usually the master will not teach by hand, the apprentice has to listen and watch more by himself, and at the critical time, the master will mention a sentence or two, as for whether he can understand or learn, it depends on his own ability.

What talent, what ability, at this stage is not comparable to the ability to observe faces.

This is called the master leading the door, and the practice is in the individual.

In this way, in another 3578 years, according to the level of the apprentice's own learning, he can become a teacher.

The teacher mentioned here is just a craft master, but you still have to follow the master, usually for another five years and ten years, before you can go out and set up your own door.

This is how Sun Yingzhou, a contemporary porcelain collector, came over.

Geng Baochang followed Sun Yingzhou as an apprentice, so naturally he came over like this.

At that time, "Dunhua Zhai" was famous, but ordinary people couldn't enter and couldn't be apprentices.

Sun Yingzhou is a strict person, requiring tea sets and smoking utensils to be washed clean, and table legs to be wiped clean.

But why can Geng Baochang stay?

Because he gets up at five o'clock every day, regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter, sweeping the floor, emptying urinals, burning stoves, ...... all kinds of chores are done properly.

Even if it is the delicate work of serving tea and pouring water, lighting cigarettes and serving, it is not sloppy.

In winter, Geng Baochang washed and scrubbed his hands and feet every day, and the cracks on his hands were bloody, and he couldn't sleep at night when the small wounds were painful.

This kind of day is the hardest, plus there are too many chores, when will I be able to learn?

Not seeing hope is the most torturous, and not many people can survive.

So Geng Baochang, who was finally left behind, how to learn art?

It's all up to you.

The shopkeeper talked with the guests, talked about antiques, and admired porcelain.

At this time, Geng Baochang's ears were completely erected, and he was concentrating on listening while serving tea and water with his hands and feet.

Once, I was so engrossed in listening to it that I burned my fingers by lighting a cigarette for a guest, and I didn't bother to throw away the matches.

This is why there were later Taishan Beidou Sun Yingzhou and the Forbidden City National Treasure Geng Baochang in the industry.

As a professor at Nankai University and director of the Institute of History, Nan Jinyu has taught and educated people all over the world in this life.

But these students will not respect him Nan Jinyu like the "teacher" in the respect of the Heaven and Earth Monarch, because the teacher's profession is to train students, which is his Nan Jinyu's own job.

After careful study, the "closed disciples" mentioned before Xiao Yao, Mu Duanming and others were mostly because Nan Jinyu was an academic, and there was no need to take the jokes seriously.

Just like now in the circle, others will say that Mu Duanming is Nan Jinyu's student, but they will not say that Mou Duanming is Nan Jinyu's disciple, and because of this, on formal occasions, Mu Duanming and Chang Xian never call each other "senior brothers".

Chang Xian is a person who attaches great importance to etiquette, since he has decided to apprentice, this worship cannot be avoided, and he immediately took the wine bottle in Nanshi's hand and poured wine into the cup in front of him.

"Master, this cup of wine is a disciple to respect you, one day as a teacher and a lifelong father, from now on, I will always remember your teachings, please Master drink this glass of wine......"

Picking up the wine glass, Chang Xian came to the old man, holding the wine glass in one hand, pulling the chair behind the old man with the other, kneeling down as soon as his knees were weak, raising his glass with both hands, and respectfully raising it above his head.

“…… Child, for the rest of my life, it is not my wish to accept you as an entry, but since it is the will of God, and do not fall into the ambition of Qingyun! ”

The old man himself had mixed feelings, took the wine glass that he often held above his head, and drank it with his eyes closed.

The old man slowly opened his eyes and said, "Get up, since you have worshiped the teacher, I will give you a worship ceremony for the teacher......

Let Chang Xian get up, the teacher went out tremblingly, found something out of nowhere, handed it to Chang Xian, and said: "This crystal is a thing from the Qianlong period, it was given by my elders, I am disappointed, I hope you can understand the meaning." ”
