17, rootless duckweed (for collection, for reading)
"You also salute a handful of incense."
Shan Wuju moved out of his position and motioned for Wei Tu to step forward.
"Yes, Master."
Wei Tu nodded, took a handful of incense, put it on the incense candle and lit it, bowed down and bowed, then knelt on the ground, and kowtowed three more times.
After doing this, Wei Tu inserted a handful of incense in his hand into the incense burner.
Seeing that Wei Tu was polite, Shan Wuju felt a little more satisfied in his heart.
……
After worshipping the teacher, it was getting late, and Wei Tu, in order to avoid suspicion, asked Shan Wuju to resign and left the inner courtyard.
along the road.
He met a few maids.
These maids obviously knew the news of Wei Tu's apprenticeship with Shan Wuju, and when they saw Wei Tu, they put away their previous arrogant demeanor in the face of long work, turned to humility, avoided the side, and bowed to the blessing.
One of the plump maids even called Wei Tu "Young Master", and his voice was so sweet that he could pinch out the water.
This made Wei Tu a little dazed, and it wasn't until he got out of the courtyard that he relieved himself.
"Young Master?"
"I've become a young master?"
Wei Tu returned to the west room a little dazed, he repeatedly smacked the sentence "young master", and a smile appeared on his face from time to time, no longer the composure he had when he was apprenticing just now.
If anyone sees it, I'm afraid they will think that Weitu is guilty of hysteria and has been giggling.
In the fifteenth year of Qing'an, he was sold to the Li family, although he was appreciated by the main family, but in the end he was still a horse herd who led a horse and fell on it.
Now.
Twenty-three years to Qing'an.
He not only redeemed the deed, but also became the son of Shan Wuju, which can be said to have improved his social status a lot.
Such and such.
No matter how calm Wei Tu is, it is difficult to have a normal mentality, not arrogant or happy.
"Don't let up! The reason why I am respected by the descendants of Shan Mansion is because I am a disciple of Shan Wuju, and this identity is like a rootless duckweed, and it is not stable......"
Half a quarter of an hour later, Wei Tu got off the kang, twisted a bucket of cool well water, washed his face, and his face returned to its previous calmness.
"For this happy event, I have to write a letter and tell Xinghua ......"
"Tomorrow I will find a single martial arts, borrow a pen and paper, and write a letter to Xinghua."
Wei Tu said in his heart.
The west room where he was located was a long-term shop, and there were no other sundries in it except for the bed, table, clothes and bedding.
Not to mention paper, ink, pen and inkstone, which can only be used by rich people and literati.
However.
That's when —
There was a sound of shredded footsteps outside the west door.
Wei Tu has been practicing health skills for so long, not only has his strength increased, but his hearing and eyesight have improved, and he can hear that this footstep is not a man's footsteps.
Next.
There was a knock on the door.
"Brother Wei, are you resting?" Shan Gao knocked on the door and asked.
"Is it the third grandmother?"
Wei Tu was surprised.
In large households, not only the outer men and subordinates must know to avoid suspicion, but also the inner relatives.
At this moment, it is late at night, and Shan Gao's family comes to Changgong Shop, lonely men and widows, it is inevitable that there is something inappropriate.
However, without waiting for Wei Tu to think about it, Shan Gao's next sentence dispelled Wei Tu's scruples.
"The west room is too simple here, I have to be instructed by the master to take you to the wing room in the second courtyard."
Shan Gao's Dao.
Listen to this.
Wei Tu was relieved and relieved.
Immediately, he got dressed and got out of bed, and after tidying up, he opened the door.
As soon as the door opened, Wei Tu found that not only was Shan Gao's family standing outside the door, but also Deng An, who had just returned from the grain drying field.
Deng Anxu was afraid of Shan Gao's family, standing outside the eaves, ten steps away from Shan Gao's family, watching the movement here from a distance, and did not dare to go back to the room to rest.
"You come with me." Shan Gao saw Wei Tu come out and said with a smile.
Less leaning.
The two entered the courtyard one after the other.
While entering the courtyard of the second entrance, Shan Gao handed over a key to Wei Tu and said: "This is the key to the courtyard gate of the second entrance, you put it away, don't lose it." ”
Wei Tu nodded, and after hanging the key on his waist, he quickly pulled away from Shan Gao's and kept it five steps away.
In order to prevent stepping on empty doors and committing adultery in the inner house, large families often lock the courtyard doors at night and prohibit the people in the courtyard from moving.
Not much.
Shan Gao led Wei Tu to a side room in the second entrance, and asked the maid to tidy up the bedding and clean up Wei Tu.
"Brother Wei, it's night, I'll leave first." Shan Gao stood outside the door, pursed his lips, and disappeared under the corridor after bowing to Wei Tu's slightly restrained Weifu.
"This ......"
Seeing this scene, Wei Tu was stunned for a moment, and then he thought for a while, and then he was a little relieved.
In the Shan family, because Shan Gao's family has been managing internal affairs, he regards Shan Gao's family as a housewife with the same status as Li Tong's.
But it wasn't until today that he remembered that Shan Gao's family was only Shan Wuju's third room, and he had no children under his knees, just a more favored concubine.
In fact, the status is not high.
And he, after becoming Shan Wuju's apprentice, his status in the Shan family is actually equal to that of the Shan Gao family, and even surpasses the Shan Gao family.
Although Shan Wuju did not directly state these differences in status, the subordinates and concubines of the Shan family made this distinction clear.
"This is the Ping of the Floating Roots, the clouds of the wind."
Wei Tu secretly alerted himself.
Previously, although he realized this when he was in the West Room, it was not profound, after all, he had just been promoted to a higher status, and he was still immersed in great joy.
Until now, seeing Shan Gao's former "master mother" groveling to him, no matter how confused he is, it is time to wake up.
Once his martial arts training progress is not as expected by Shan Wuju, or if he fails in the martial arts of Jinke, although this apprentice's status will not be abolished, it is difficult to say his status in the Shan family.
After the maid had laid out the futon, Wei Tu began to look at the new room.
There was a wooden bed on the east wall of the room, on which was hung a printed summer cloth tent, and in front of the bed was a half table with two long-necked porcelain vases placed on it.
Further to the west, there is a lacquered wood table with a stack of old books and a pen wash rack on the curtain.
Wei Tu opened the cloth curtain and took a closer look, there were several brushes of different sizes inserted on the pen stand, wolf hair, sheep hair.
There is no shortage of paper, ink, pen and inkstone.
As for the old books, Wei Tu flipped through them a few times and found that these old books were all uncommon military books in the bookstore, including the "Discipline School" for military training, and the "Taigong Book" and "Yin Fu Jing" that paid attention to the strategy of arranging the formation.
"Master is really thoughtful......
When Wei Tu saw this, he was grateful in his heart for taking him as an apprentice.
If it is said that after the redemption, the probability of him succeeding in the martial arts examination is 30%.
At this moment, with such an all-round teaching as Shan Wuju, Wei Tu is confident, and he can raise it to more than fifty percent, or even sixty percent or seventy percent.
Soon.
Wei Tu cleaned up his mood, began to polish the ink, and began to write letters.
In the letter, he informed Xinghua of the good news that he was accepted as a disciple by Shan Wuju, and told Xinghua that he did not have to wait for him to go home for the New Year, and that he should hurry up and make up for all his shortcomings before the February exam.
In this way, you can be sure to go to the martial arts examination.
