There were already two carriages parked in front of the Wu family, and the third one had just arrived, and it happened to collide with the Tai family's board car.

Old Man Tai helped Tai Yongning get out of the car, although Tai Yongning tried his best to walk more steadily, he could still see some inconvenience in his legs and feet.

In the third carriage, the one who jumped down was a young man in a brocade robe, twelve or thirteen, his appearance was very good, but it was a pity that his chin was raised a little high, and some nostrils looked at people, looking arrogant.

He glanced at Tai Yongning, didn't mean to say hello at all, and took a few steps up the steps.

Steward Wu was talking to the little girl at the door, and when he saw that the Tai family had arrived, he was about to go out to greet him, but he walked opposite the young man.

The young man thought that Steward Wu was picking him up, so he casually arched his hand and said, "I'm tired, lead me to see Mr." My father had something to do, and he didn't arrive a quarter of an hour late. ”

Steward Wu paused for a moment, and immediately smiled, "Oh, it's Qi Gongzi who has arrived." Wait a minute, I'll find a guy to show you the way. ”

As he spoke, he motioned for a little guy to step forward, and then hurriedly went down the steps to help the old man Tai, smiling very closely.

"Old man, I haven't seen you for a few days, and you are young and energetic. I can go up the mountain for a few days, is there any good harvest? ”

Old Man Tai laughed and said, "Little brother, you also look good, this is a happy event!" I did go into the mountains, but unfortunately I only brought back two rabbits. Don't worry, if you get something good, there will definitely be no one else's, and you will definitely send it early! ”

"Haha, then I'll wait for the old man to have a bumper harvest one day!" Steward Wu smiled, looking forward to the Tai family getting mountain ginseng again, even if the remaining half of the family was enough to dispense medicine, but this kind of heavy treasure that gathered the essence of heaven and earth, no one was too much.

He turned his head again to salute Tai Jizu and Tai Yongning, Tai Jizu solemnly returned the salute and entrusted him seriously, "Brother Wu, my child's leg injury is not yet good, and it is inconvenient on weekdays, and you have to work hard to take care of it." ”

"Rest assured, rest assured!" Steward Wu hurriedly agreed, "Young Master Ning is our master's disciple, we will definitely take care of it, otherwise our master will punish us." ”

As he spoke, the people entered the house.

The young man was annoyed that the steward Wu had left him to greet others, so he followed the little guy and heard them laughing and laughing, and couldn't help but feel even more uncomfortable.

For a while, everyone entered the front yard, and Mr. Wu was sitting in the study with the other two families drinking tea.

I had seen it a few days ago, and I was no stranger to it at this time, but Tai Yongning came here for the first time, so I saluted one by one and greeted him for a long time.

Soon, the father of the young Qi Gongzi also arrived, and he was a very amiable middle-aged man.

After the Wu steward asked for instructions, a mat was placed in the middle of the ground, and the four teenagers were arranged in order of age, and they all came forward to kowtow to the teacher and send the apprenticeship ceremony.

The gifts of the other three were very rich, most of them were pen, ink, paper, inkstones, etc., such as the hard-to-find plum incense ink ingots, dozens of taels of silver and a knife of rice paper, and the lone book of the previous dynasty......

Only the gifts of the Tai family are ordinary, if you have to say that they are novel, they are the three sets of cashmere pants.

Old Man Wu didn't say anything, but that Qi Gongzi couldn't help but sneer.

On such an important occasion, naturally no one in the room made any noise, so it seemed very abrupt.

Everyone subconsciously looked over, especially the other two students, frowning slightly.

Qi Gongzi also knew that he was rude, his face turned red, but he still had a hard mouth, and muttered, "Apprenticeship is such an important thing, it is so sloppy to send such a cheap thing!" ”

Master Qi immediately opened his mouth and scolded, "Presumptuous, Qi Ming!" Who made you so rude, don't hurry up and make amends to your junior brother! ”

Tai Yongning is the youngest of the four disciples, and the third in line is the senior brother, they worship under Master Wu today, and they will be the same door in the future.

No matter where you go, whether you are an official or not, it is a relationship of both glory and humiliation.

Unexpectedly, without waiting for outsiders to bully him, Qi Ming, the senior brother, looked down on the junior brother first.

Qi Ming was reprimanded, and he actually regretted talking too much in his heart.

But the young man's temperament, pride is always higher than the other, he just refuses to say anything more when he stalks his neck.

Tai Yongning was also unhappy, his hands were clenched into fists, and it took him a long time before he took a deep breath and spoke.

"What Senior Brother Qi said is not right, the apprenticeship is not about how valuable, but about the heart. The gift I brought, the wine is one of the softest and most mellow on the market that my grandfather said. The dim sum is the most crispy and delicious in the Min family's shop, and the knife meat is also the freshest.

"Besides, the three sets of cashmere clothes and pants, the cashmere was personally bought by my third uncle and eldest brother from the grassland, and the elders of our clan personally cleaned and spun the thread, and then my mother took people to stay up for five days and nights and weave it by hand.

"My husband is not in good health, and he is more cold than ordinary people, and this cashmere shirt and pants are not bloated in a long shirt, but also warm and hot, which is the most suitable.

"I think that this apprenticeship has gathered the hearts of our whole family, and Mr. will definitely not dislike it, but I didn't expect to be misunderstood by Senior Brother Qi."

These words not only explain the origin of each apprenticeship, but also point out the family's intentions. In the end, he even took the army of Qi Gongzi!

Master Wu, the person who received the gift, did not dislike it, what qualifications do you have as an outsider to make irresponsible remarks!

If it is picky, there is naturally something wrong with this remark, but it is rare for a twelve-year-old country boy who has only studied with his mother for a few years and has not been taught by anyone to have such a response!

Qi Gongzi's face was ugly, he was blocked and held in his chest, and he couldn't say anything.

In addition, the longest-ranking disciple, that is, Song Hui, the second son of the Song family, couldn't help but nod lightly, he liked this little junior disciple who had backbone and was not easy to bully.

The second-ranked disciple surnamed Teng Mingming was also quietly surprised, and he was a lot more curious about this little junior disciple from a peasant family.

Old Man Wu looked at the looks of his disciples, smiled at the corners of his mouth, and said, "And the mud."

"It turns out that Yongning's apprenticeship contains such a deep heart, and I'll try the cashmere pants after a while to see if it's as warm as you said.

"The other three gifts are also good, whether they are valuable or not, when the heart arrives, the teacher is equally happy."

After that, he motioned to Steward Wu to step forward, and took four sets of four sets of fine scholar's four treasures from the tray in Steward Wu's hand, as well as four pieces of mutton fat jade pendants, and distributed them to the four disciples.

The four treasures of the study room are just that, and the calligraphy and painting shops can still be bought. But the jade pendant is rare, the texture is generally the same, carved with four patterns of Meilan bamboo chrysanthemum, the discerning person is the same piece of mutton fat jade divided into four pieces of pondering.

Master Qi arched his hand and said, "Sir, this jade pendant is really rare." ”

Master Wu nodded and said with a smile, "I hope that the four of them will study together in the future, support each other, and grow together." ”

Tai Yongning and the others hurriedly lined up in a row and saluted respectfully. It's Qi Ming who lowered his head, without the arrogant appearance of Fang Cai.
