Chapter Twenty-Seven: Apprenticeship
Qin Jiayi, the painter's granddaughter, looked at Lu Xian'er with big curious eyes and said
"You are the little fairy that my grandfather boasted about every day, I thought you had three heads and six arms", Lu Xian'er said with a smile
"Sister Jiajia, it's because the teacher likes me that he praises me, and the teacher also praises you in front of me, saying that you are not only beautiful but also cute", Jiajia looked at Lu Xian'er with wide eyes
"Did my grandfather praise me in front of you", Lu Xian'er smiled and nodded yes, Jiajia showed a smile on her face, and the painter's daughter Zhu Yuerong said with a light smile on her elegant face
"Xiao Xian'er is really good at talking, I've always heard my father praise you two students for being good, I've wanted to meet you for a long time, and today I finally saw you, I like you so good-looking."
The table was full of food, grandpa Lu Yunsheng and Lu Shijun Lu Xian'er were invited to the table to eat, Jiajia and Xian'er did it together.
The meal was very hearty, Zhu Li said at the dinner table
"This meal, one is for me to practice, and the other is for my two students to meet my family", Lu Yunsheng raised his glass and saluted the painter Zhu Li, thanking him for his hard work in cultivating his grandchildren
"Brother Lu, I also want to toast you with a glass of wine, fortunately you brought me to teach these two children, these two children have also taught me a lot of things", Lu Yunsheng hurriedly said that the painter had won the award, and the painter Zhu Li said to everyone very seriously
"I've been teaching in the university for a long time, and I have a high level of intellectuals, and at first I felt that I was a dignified professor, and it was a bit too cheap to teach two children, but the facts told me that I was wrong, these two children are not tight, talented and very diligent, especially the little fairy Bingxue is smart I have only seen in my life, and I am very happy to be her teacher."
Lu Xian'er also raised a glass of juice to the painter Zhu Li
"Teacher, thank you for the compliment, the key is that the teacher teaches well, I am very happy to be taught by the teacher", everyone laughed, thinking that the little fairy was very cute, Zhu Yuerong and her husband looked at the little girl Lu Xian'er in amazement, when the father often said how smart the little girl was at home, the two were only a little exaggerated when the father heard the little girl's words today, just like a little adult, I couldn't help but be secretly surprised.
Zhu Yueqi also heard her father say that Lu Xian'er is a little girl, and when she saw it today, she felt that it was indeed extraordinary. Zhu Yuerong said with a smile
"Xian'er Shijun, Auntie, I really want to thank you, although my daughter Jiajia is smart but very playful and impatient, since her grandfather taught you to paint, every time she comes home, she praises you, Jiajia compares with you, and she is not greedy for fun, and she doesn't need to be urged to paint, now she knows how to paint hard, and she has patience in doing things, I and Jiajia and her father also said that I really want to thank you, today you come to my house, and Auntie also toasts you with a glass of juice", Lu Shijun and Lu Xian'er both picked up the juice and drank it, and said
"Thank you, Auntie", Lu Xian'er poured a glass of juice to honor Jiajia
"Sister Jiajia, it's a pleasure to meet you, you are very beautiful and cute", Jiajia was praised by Xian'er and smiled happily and said
"Xian'er, you are so beautiful and cute", the two little girls played together, and everyone was very happy to eat.
The painter kept telling the two students and his granddaughter that they must paint more, no matter what they do in the future, painting is also a talent, and many aspects can be used to paint skills, and those who work hard will inevitably have gains", several children nodded in agreement, Xiao Xian'er threw herself into the arms of the painter Zhu Li and cried, saying that she would definitely go to the north to visit the teacher in the future, the painter Zhu Li was really reluctant to let Xiao Xian'er, Lu Shijun also surrounded the teacher with tears in his eyes, and his granddaughter Jiajia also threw herself into her grandfather's arms, reluctant to let her grandfather go, Everyone has feelings together, and naturally there are many reluctances, and finally the painter Zhu Li and his son returned to the north.
Xian'er still likes to stay in front of her younger brother Lu Shikai for a while every day, and draws a lot of headdresses, hats, scarves, small animals, and small clothes in front of her younger brother to show her younger brother, the little brother is lying on the crib dancing with his hands and feet, seeing those brightly colored patterns, the corners of his mouth are cracked and smiling like a little Buddha, Xian'er likes his brother's innocent smile very much, because when she sees her younger brother Shikai's innocent smile, she can think of the innocent and lovely smile of the younger brother in her previous life, as if she can heal the scars on her soul.
Second uncle Lu Yingjie didn't care about the paintings that Xiao Xian'er painted for his son at first, he only felt that these paintings could make his son laugh happily, and sometimes he also made his son laugh with the paintings, and then looked at the paintings carefully, only to find that these little things painted by Xiao Xian'er are very cute, small clothes and skirts, and headdresses are quite distinctive. Second uncle Lu Yingjie looked at Xiao Xian'er in surprise, hugged Xiao Xian'er and kissed her on the face
"Xian'er, you are my little lucky star." The beard tied the little fairy and hurriedly covered her little face with her hands, and complained to the second uncle with her big watery eyes, and the second aunt Li Qingzhu looked at this scene, laughing and couldn't stop the flowers and branches from trembling, and joked
"Xian'er, you can also kiss the second uncle on the face", the second uncle Lu Yingjie nodded with a smile and said
"Xian'er, I have a thick skin, you can kiss it casually", the second aunt Li Qingzhu twisted Lu Yingjie's arm with her hand, and said with a smile at Xian'er
"Xian'er, you see that the second aunt helped you beat the second uncle, the second aunt has milk egg custard that is smooth and delicious, and it is delicious with sesame oil", Xian'er took a bite with a soup spoon, it was smooth and soft and delicious, and thanked the second aunt with a smile in her eyes, and then fed the second aunt with a soup spoon, and the second aunt happily ate it, praising the egg custard fed by Xian'er was really delicious, Lu Yingjie stared at Xian'er and said
"Xian'er also feed the second uncle a mouthful of custard", Xian'er didn't want to give it a little, but looking at the second uncle who was looking at her, she couldn't bear it, so she also fed the second uncle, the second uncle Lu Yingjie laughed, like a candy child who got his favorite, his eyes were shining, the second aunt Qingzhu pursed her lips and smiled, looked at him and said
"Stupid", Lu Yingjie smiled, turned his head to look at his son, only to see his son looking at him with bright eyes, saliva from his mouth smiling, and couldn't help laughing, his son was also excited when he saw him laughing, and his mouth made a giggle laugh, Lu Yingjie rarely hugged his son and kissed him, and his son's happy little short legs were very excited.
Lu Yingjie took the patterns painted by Xian'er back to the factory for processing, and sure enough, the effect was very good, these children's clothes and skirts made of childlike small patterns and small clothes were put on the market to sell particularly hot, people bought them one after another, and wholesalers came to the door in an endless stream.
The childlike headwear is also a big seller in the market, the business is very prosperous, there are many people who call to order, he is busy and asks his wife Qingzhu to help, Mrs. Lu and sister-in-law Shen Xinlan help take care of Lu Shikai together, the Lu family's business gradually stabilizes, Li Qingzhu returns to his son, and finally can take his son again.
Mrs. Lu and her eldest son took Xiao Xian'er to prepare for a trip to the temple in the next city, and heard that the temple was quite spiritual.
That time, Xiao Xian'er dreamed and cried so sadly and aggrieved during the day, I was afraid that she was really frightened. Mrs. Lu didn't believe in any gods and monsters when she was young, but when she was older, she heard a lot of people, and Mrs. Lu believed it a little, especially after her daughter died, she always felt that the whole family was safe and sound", several people enjoyed the scenery on the side of the road in the car, and just happened to meet the opening of the Christian church on the road, and I heard that the church was also very spiritual, and I thought that it would be good to go to the church to ask for the safety of the whole family, and the temple was a little far away.
A market has been formed around the church, people are doing business, where there are more people to do business, there are many people who wear and play and eat and sell all kinds of things along the way, and it is also very lively, Lu Xian'er's eyes look east and west, I feel very fresh and lively I have never seen such a scene, I am very happy to look at the people who are shouting business, Mrs. Lu is happy to see Xian'er, as long as Xian'er likes something, she will buy it, several people soon have full hands in their hands, and suddenly Xian'er stopped, Looking at an old man sitting on the ground next to a stall, his clothes were a little dirty and rotten, his beard was messy, but his eyes were shining, looking at the steamed buns not far away from the owner of the steamed buns, although his eyes flashed when he wanted to eat, but he didn't ask for it, Xiao Xian'er smiled at the old beggar and felt very pitiful, so he sent the bag of steamed buns he had just bought to the old man and said
"Grandpa will give you something to eat", the old man looked at the little girl in front of him with extremely clear pink and snow-white eyes, blew the beard on his mouth, looked at the bun in the little girl's hand, reached out and took it and ate it directly, Xian'er took a bottle of juice from Abba's hand and handed it to the old man
"Grandpa, don't choke on eating slowly, you can drink this juice, it's delicious", and then turned around and left with his family, some people around were talking about how beautiful and cute the little girl was, and he knew that it was good to do good deeds at such a young age, Lu Yingcheng and his wife Shen Xinlan glanced at each other and smiled knowingly, Mrs. Lu arrogantly praised her granddaughter Xian'er for being really sensible, and several members of the Lu family went to the church, went in and told the pastor about the child Xian'er, the old pastor smiled and said that it was not in the way, and prayed for Lu Xian'er, Then told Mrs. Lu that they still had to do more good deeds and accumulate virtues, Mrs. Lu and the others nodded in agreement, and then voted a lot of donations to express their hearts, and took Xian'er home.
In the middle of the night, a dark shadow came to Xiao Xian'er's bedside to look at it, stretched out his hand and pointed at Lu Xian'er's sleeping hole, carefully inspected Lu Xian'er's bones, and nodded after a while
"The roots are good, and they are related to my sect." So he picked up the little fairy and flew out of the window, came to a house made of bamboo on the side of the mountain, turned on the light after entering, put the little fairy on the bamboo bed in the room, and untied the little fairy's sleeping hole, the little fairy woke up from the haze, opened her eyes and saw that she was in a strange house, sat up all of a sudden, and saw a strange old man in front of him dressed in tatters, and looked carefully, it seemed to be familiar again, it seemed to be the old man who met during the day to ask for food.
His eyes blinked, looking at the old man in front of him, the old man saw that the little fairy was still so calm in a strange place, and he didn't have the panic and fear of a child at all, so he couldn't help but nod and said
"The little girl has a good heart". Lu Xian'er asked calmly
"Grandpa, did you bring me to this place?" The old man stared at Lu Xian'er and said with a smile
"I brought you here, don't be afraid, I just want to talk to you, I don't want to be disturbed by others, don't worry, I'll send you home after talking to you", Lu Xian'er nodded after listening to what the old man said, and the old man introduced himself
"Little girl, you give me buns to eat and juice to drink during the day, it can be seen that you are a kind-hearted child, not only good-looking but also ice and snow smart, let me move the heart of accepting you as an apprentice, I want to teach you my life's kung fu, little doll, are you willing?" Lu Xian'er looked at the beggar grandfather, shook her head and said
"I learned martial arts from my grandfather and father," the old man laughed
"Female doll, what you learn is not called kung fu, it can only be called three-legged cat kung fu. The kung fu of my school is a hidden kung fu, and no one can learn it if they want to, that is, you have entered the eyes of my old man today, and I want to take you as an apprentice."
Lu Xian'er blinked her watery black eyes
"Grandpa, although you are good at kung fu, you can't belittle my grandpa's kung fu", the old man said with a smile
"You watch", suddenly grabbed Xian'er and went out through the window, and flew around as light as a swallow, and then came in through the window, putting the little fairy on the bed, Lu Xian'er couldn't react a little, did he experience the legendary light skill in the clouds just now,
"Did you see the little girl? It's called kung fu, I didn't lie to you." Lu Xian'er was caught out by the old man just now, and she was nervous at first, but later she found that she seemed to be flying in the air, her eyes widened and she didn't believe it was true, it seemed to be very mysterious, but it really happened in front of her, no wonder the old man said that Abba and their kung fu were not in the stream, and they really couldn't see it in comparison, Lu Xian'er's heart beat violently.
The old beggar stared at the little fairy and said temptingly
"Little girl, you worship me as a teacher, and I will teach you everything, but there is another condition, you can't reveal the kung fu you have learned in my school without authorization."
Lu Xian'er was very smart, and suddenly knelt in front of the old man
"I am willing to worship you as a teacher, the master is above, Lu Xian'er will kneel down and kowtow to you", Lu Xian'er said and kowtowed to the old man three times.
When the old beggar saw that the little girl had kowtowed, he laughed happily and hurriedly pulled up the little girl
"Your name is Lu Xian'er, this name is good, with the spirit of a fairy family", said and opened the dark room of the bamboo building, only to see a picture of ancient costumes hanging on the wall of the dark room, on which an old man was immortal, and the old beggar said to Lu Xian'er
"This is the ancestor I sent, Xian'er, come and kneel down and worship him." Lu Xian'er kowtowed to Master Zu three times in a proper manner, and the old man saw that Xiao Xian'er was so polite although she was young, and felt that she had accepted a good apprentice.
The master said with a happy smile
"Xian'er, in the future, I will bring you here every night to teach you to learn kung fu, you just practice hard, don't tell anyone who you learned kung fu from."
