Section 7: My name is Li Qingxia, and I am your uncle

Section 7: My name is Li Qingxia, and I am your uncle

In this way, every day from now on, Yang Xiaochuan studied cultural knowledge in the morning, followed his master to practice the qi practice method of martial arts in the afternoon, and practiced the knowledge of family alchemy with his father in the evening, and then ran to the stone platform of the lotus pond in the garden to teach Xiaoling knowledge and learn the basic skills of martial arts.

In the future, regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter, wind, frost, rain and snow, Yang Xiaochuan did not have a day to teach Xiaoling, and the two of them slowly changed from master and servant to a relationship that they thought were brother and sister.

Time flies quickly, more than six years have passed, Yang Xiaochuan is 13 years old, Xiaoling is 11 years old, these more than six years of study, Yang Xiaochuan's cultural literacy has been greatly improved, all kinds of etiquette, learning is also very good, of course, Yang Xiaochuan also taught all the knowledge and etiquette he learned to Xiaoling, these two people are making progress together.

With the growth of martial arts, Yang Xiaochuan has reached the peak of true qi, according to Huo Feipeng's words, if there is a month, you can learn, the ancestor of his master, the self-created immortal and martial arts are one, and Xiaoling has only reached a level of condensing true qi, which is still the result of Yang Xiaochuan letting her practice hard every day.

After learning the alchemy taught by his father on this day, Yang Xiaochuan just wanted to say, father, I went back to sleep, Yang Tianyu preemptively said, Xiaochuan, you will go out with your father and mother tomorrow.

Yang Xiaochuan was about to speak, but he heard his father say that he would take him out tomorrow, Yang Xiaochuan asked suspiciously, "Does your father have anything important tomorrow?"

Tomorrow is Prince Li Qinghe's birthday, you have to go with us to congratulate Prince Li Qinghe on his birthday, you are so old, Prince Qinghe hasn't seen you once?

Prince Li Qinghe, Yang Xiaochuan said, is it a prince who has a good relationship with you, father?

Yes, my relationship with the prince is indeed very good, and you still have a marriage contract with his youngest daughter, hehe

What! Marriage contract! When did I have a marriage contract? Father, can you tell me slowly? Your son and I don't have a good heart, don't let me be scared! Why have I never heard you talk to your mother? As he spoke, Yang Xiaochuan's face turned red.

Yang Tianyu looked at his son's expression, haha laughed, hey, will you be embarrassed by this stinky boy!

Yang Tianyu continued, it was set when you were two years old, your mother and I like that little girl very much, her name is Maggie Lee, you can see her tomorrow. She's a year older than you, you have to call your sister, hehe.

Yang Xiaochuan's head slammed, and Yang Xiaochuan didn't react at all for a long time!

Yang Tianyu saw that his son did not react, and immediately patted him on the shoulder, Xiaochuan, you are talking, why didn't you react, are you happy to see your future wife.

Yang Xiaochuan heard his father say that he was happy, and hurriedly shook his head and said, Father, you and your mother have finished marrying me, do you still want me to be happy or not! Anyway, if you are happy, why should you care about my feelings? Barely squeezed out a smile, Okay, I know, I will go with you and my mother tomorrow, I will go back!

Without waiting for his father to reply, he turned around and walked out of the family alchemy room.

Yang Tianyu looked at Yang Xiaochuan's back and shook his head, it's bad, this kid has something to think, he's not happy. Said to himself!

Yang Xiaochuan walked out of the alchemy room, walked towards the garden, and arrived at the big stone platform of the lotus pond, where Xiaoling had already been waiting, and was very happy to see Yang Xiaochuan coming.

Brother Xiaochuan, why did you come so late today, I thought you weren't here today?

Oh, my father told me something, so I'm late, sorry Sister Xiaoling. Yang Xiaochuan said apologetically.

Xiaoling looked at Yang Xiaochuan suspiciously, she knew that Yang Xiaochuan must have encountered something, otherwise she wouldn't be so listless, so she asked again, did something happen to Brother Xiaochuan? Can you tell me about it?

Yang Xiaochuan looked at Xiaoling, shook his head and said, you can't help me, sister Xiaoling!

Xiao Ling still said in a gentle tone: Brother Xiaochuan, I have treated you as my own brother, weishenme, you refuse to tell me?

Yang Xiaochuan heard what Xiaoling said, sighed, and said, "You don't know, tomorrow is the 50th birthday of Li Qinghe, the prince of the Central Plains Empire, and my father and mother asked me to go together", so I am bothered by this matter.

That's a good thing, Brother Xiaochuan, you should be happy, don't you like to be lively the most?

Yang Xiaochuan said helplessly, it's okay if you only participate in your birthday, but you still have to meet with the girl who has been engaged to me since I was a child, that's why I'm not happy, you know this time!

When Xiaoling heard the marriage contract, she chuckled in her heart, not knowing that Weishenme heard that Yang Xiaochuan had a marriage contract, she suddenly felt that something was suddenly missing in her heart!

But soon, she adjusted her mentality and said, "Brother Xiaochuan also has a fiancée," hehe, why have I never heard of you?

Yang Xiaochuan shook his head helplessly and said, Don't say you don't know, I only found out today, otherwise why am I so depressed.

Xiao Ling heard what Yang Xiaochuan said, nodded and said, There is no problem, Brother Xiaochuan, you will show your enthusiasm when you meet her tomorrow, just like me, isn't it good, what do you have to worry about?

Xiaoling, how can you know that I am in pain now, a fiancée suddenly appeared, how would you feel if you suddenly had a fiancé?

Then I don't do it, I don't even have a feeling, how embarrassing, Xiaoling said!

You see, isn't this enough, if you don't do it, can I do it, a girl I've never seen before, or a future wife, my mother, I don't know how to face her, and I still show my enthusiasm, how can I take it, when the time comes, I won't run away and Amitabha!

Xiao Ling smiled, Brother Xiaochuan don't worry, you are still young, tomorrow is just a look, what did she say, she is also the daughter of the prince, she is the identity of the county lord, she will not look at you tomorrow, it is not necessarily!

If she doesn't look down on me, then I'm even more worried, how can I say Brother Xiaochuan, I look okay, and my family background is not bad, if she doesn't look down on me and quit the marriage, then our Yang family can have fun, so I'm very depressed, I don't like me, I'm not happy, I can't look down on me, I can't go back and go.

Brother Xiaochuan, don't think about it, according to what you taught me, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, the mountains and rivers are full of doubts, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village, hehe, you are now overwhelmed by such a small problem, you will have to do big things in the future!

When Yang Xiaochuan heard Xiaoling's words, he suddenly smiled, he used famous sentences, apply what he has learned, okay, it seems that you are about to leave the school, hehe, come on, call you today's class, and you can study by yourself in the future.

Xiao Ling was a little puzzled when she heard that she was reading, and hurriedly asked: Brother Xiaochuan Weishenme doesn't teach me anymore, is it finished?

It's not because I'm going out with my master, but the master wants to take me to the Demon Beast Forest, and hone it in the Fairy Beast Forest, so I can teach me the unity of immortal and martial arts, so I won't have time to teach you in the future, Sister Xiaoling. Yang Xiaochuan replied!

Oh, I see, I wonder when you'll be back, Brother Xiaochuan?

I don't know about this, it depends on when the master asks me to come back.

Okay, I'll teach you today's lesson, I'm a little tired today, I'm done teaching you, I'll go back to sleep, Yang Xiaochuan said to Xiaoling!

Okay, Brother Xiaochuan, teach me quickly, what did you teach me today?

Let's start here, and picked up the map of the Azure Continent, the ****** on this map

The next day, as soon as the sky was bright, Yang Xiaochuan got up, quickly asked Xiaoling to serve to wash his face and brush his teeth, and let Xiaoling pick up a dress that is usually only worn on important occasions.

Brother Xiaochuan, after you change into a dress, the whole person has become a lot more handsome, I think your county lord's fiancée will definitely like you very much, Xiaoling said beside her.

Yang Xiaochuan glanced at Xiaoling, his eyes were full of depression.

Xiaoling knew that she had said the wrong thing, so she didn't know the voice, and quickly helped Yang Xiaochuan tie the button and tie the noble ribbon, which can only be tied by the nobles. After a while, I helped Yang Xiaochuan finish piercing.

Yang Xiaochuan took a look at his outfit and smiled helplessly, and at this moment, there was a knock on the door, and there was another voice.

Young Master Xiaochuan, are you done? The old man and the lady are waiting for you?

It turned out that it was none other than Yang Sanbao, the head of the guard of the Yang Mansion.

Okay, Brother Sambo, go and tell my father, I'll be right away. Yang Xiaochuan said in a helpless tone!

haode, little master, Yang Sanbao replied quickly, turned around and left.

Yang Xiaochuan lifted the collar flower, looked at his noble ribbon again, shook his head helplessly, turned back to Xiaoling and said, Okay, Xiaoling is already good like this, I'll go.

Xiao Ling just looked at Yang Xiaochuan, opened her door, and walked out, feeling a little lost in her heart, not knowing that weishenme was going to be lost, she shook her head vigorously, and after stopping, Xiao Ling also walked out of the door.

Yang Xiaochuan came to the door of the Yang Mansion, a carriage dedicated to Yang Tianyu stopped in front of the Yang Mansion, the chief and deputy captains of the Yang Mansion's guard team, riding horses and standing on both sides of the carriage, Yang Sanbao and Yang Zilong, driving the carriage was Yang Fan, and sitting next to him was the guard Yang Yu.

Yang Xiaochuan walked to the carriage, Yang Fan and Yang Yu got out of the carriage, Yang Yu opened the carriage door, Yang Fan took the carriage stool, Yang Xiaochuan looked at Yang Fan with a smile and said, xiexie you Brother Yang Fan, after finishing speaking, he got into the carriage.

In the carriage sat Yang Tianyu and his wife, and Sakura sat next to Mrs. Yang.

Xiaochuan, why are you so slow, Mrs. Yang said!

It's nothing, I went to the toilet just now, so I came late, Yang Xiaochuan explained!

Oh, Mrs. Yang sighed, didn't say anything, and asked her son to sit beside her.

Yang Tianyu didn't say anything, looked at his son's expression, didn't feel anything, Yang Tianyu smiled reassuringly, Xiaochuan, today is the children and families of all the nobles of the Central Plains Empire, and they will all go to congratulate Prince Li Qinghe on his birthday, so you must give me a good performance today, don't lose the face of the Yang family, you know?

Yang Xiaochuan heard his father's words, nodded and said, Don't worry, father, my etiquette will not be learned in vain, and after speaking, he made a noble gesture. ”

After Yang Tianyu and his wife saw it, they couldn't help laughing, and even Sakura, who had never laughed, laughed along, Sakurako said, Miss, master, today's little master will definitely be one of the most eye-catching focuses of the audience, hehe.

Mrs. Yang continued, my son, must have fascinated thousands of girls, hehe!

Yang Tianyu didn't say anything, well, yes, it's very good, just use aristocratic etiquette to deal with today's scene. haha

Yang Tianyu shouted at Yang Fan and Yang Yu outside the car door, let's go!

Yang Fan heard Yang Tianyu's shout, and also said, it's the master!

The carriage ran up little by little, and the horses of Yang Sanbao and Yang Zilong on both sides of the carriage also ran away, and after a while, they moved away from Yang's mansion.

The carriage passed through the ancient town of Pan, ran in the direction of the official road, and galloped away, after nearly an hour and a half of the journey, the carriage arrived at the south gate of the capital "Huaxia City" at more than 9 o'clock in the morning.

The soldiers guarding the city glanced at the carriage, and when they saw the carriage printed with the word Yang, Yang Sanbao got off the horse, walked to the soldier, took out the guard token of the Yang Mansion, and showed it to the soldiers guarding the city, and the soldiers guarding the city saw Yang Sanbao's token and smiled.

It turned out to be Count Yang's carriage, hehe, let it go, spit out from the soldier's mouth.

Yang Sanbao walked back to his car and got on the horse, Yang Fan drove the carriage to the city again, Yang Sanbao and Yang Zilong followed behind the carriage, the speed of the carriage in Huaxia City could not be too fast, just walked at a uniform speed, and drove towards the direction of the famous king road. (The people who live on the Mingwang Road are, the kings and grandsons of the empire, the princes and other royal relatives, only the descendants of the empire can live on the Mingwang Road, and those who have no princes after three generations have to move away from the Mingwang Road)

Walking on the Mingwang Road, Yang Xiaochuan pulled up the curtain of the carriage and looked at the scenery of the Mingwang Road, it was really the smell of Zhumen's wine and meat, and there were frozen bones on the road! It is worthy of being the place where the kings and grandsons of the empire lived, it was too luxurious and extravagant, and every mansion was splendid, and the area was not only large, but also extravagant.

After walking for a while, the carriage walked to the middle of Mingwang Road, which is also a prime location, the carriage stopped, there was a noisy sound outside, Yang Xiaochuan opened the curtain of the carriage, and saw one by one carriages, waiting in line, looking at the carriage in line, looking at the carriage at the head of the head, to here, it should be the palace of the prince of war, Li Qinghe, the emperor named him the prince of war, in charge of the military power of the Chinese Empire.

After waiting for a while, they finally waited for Yang Tianyu and their carriage, and a little old man in his 60s outside the gate of Prince Zhan immediately said, Lord Yang Tianyu arrived, and the lord next to him immediately wrote. Yang Fan and Yang Yu sent the gift to the old man.

The old man immediately said, Count Yang is polite, the prince has an explanation, after Count Yang arrives, I will personally lead you into the mansion.

After the old man finished speaking, he personally got into Yang Tianyu's carriage, and said to Yang Fan and Yang Yu, as well as Yang Sanbao and Yang Zilong, The guards will go to the south courtyard of the palace, and someone will greet you there.

After speaking, the old man personally drove the carriage to the palace of Prince Zhan.

The area of this War King's Mansion can be half of the palace, Yang Xiaochuan lifted the curtain of the carriage and said!

Yang Tianyu looked at Yang Xiaochuan and nodded, Yes, son, you don't know Prince Qinghe's military exploits, this is the mansion of Emperor Bixia's gift, of course it is big.

Father, do you mean that when Emperor Bixia first ascended the throne, there was that civil strife? Yang Xiaochuan asked suspiciously?

Oh, you know, Yang Tianyu also asked Yang Xiaochuan in a puzzled tone?

If I'm not mistaken, it should be the civil strife initiated in 4965 of the Azure Calendar, it was the king of the Xishan Kingdom, that is, the uncle of the emperor Bixia and Prince Zhan, Li Yuanhao initiated a civil strife, because of what Li Yuanhao said, Emperor Bixia ascended the throne is really not enough, and the name is not returned, saying that Emperor Bixia should pass the throne to him, who is a younger brother, so he raised 300,000 troops to rebel, I am not wrong, father.

Yang Tianyu nodded happily, okay, it's not wrong, son, your cultural accumulation is already okay, Yang Tianyu said happily.

Yang Xiaochuan was not happy, and continued, because Prince Zhan supported his elder brother to ascend the throne and led the army of 200,000 to meet the enemy, at that time, many princes of the empire had the idea of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, and they were unwilling to send troops to help Emperor Bixia and Prince Zhan, so Prince Zhan only had 200,000 soldiers, and he had 300,000 soldiers against his uncle Li Yuanhao.

The war lasted for 3 years, the prince of war was seriously wounded 3 times, and once he was almost not saved, and finally defeated the rebels, Li Yuanhao, the king of Xishan, led the remnants to the junction of the Warcraft Forest and the Fairy Beast Forest, and it was also the junction of our Central Plains Empire and the Western Empire to escape, and the Prince of War was famous all over the world and helped the emperor Bixia to sweep away the civil strife.

In order to commend his merits, Emperor Bixia gave him a sword to walk in front of the palace, seal the prince of war, hereditary replacement, and be in charge of all the soldiers and horses of the Central Plains Empire. Right, father. Yang Xiaochuan said with a look of adoration!

Mrs. Yang looked at Yang Tianyu and said to Yang Xiaochuan!

Mother, what's going on, what do I say less??

Hehe, do you know how this marquis of your father came from?

Yang Xiaochuan is a very smart person, as soon as he heard his mother say this, Yang Xiaochuan also looked at his father, could it be that his father was also involved in the war at that time.

Yang Tianyu laughed, son, father, not only did I participate, but I also saved Prince Zhan's life, so we are a fateful friendship, otherwise how could you have the opportunity to be his son-in-law?

Yang Xiaochuan nodded and said, no wonder, my father is just an imperial marquis, Prince Weishenme Zhan has such a good relationship with you, it turns out that you saved his life, father, you must have used the ability of our "Divine Medicine Family" to help Prince Zhan at that time, right?

Hearing his son's words, Yang Tianyu nodded silently!

Didn't the Yan family, the father, help the empire at that time? Yang Xiaochuan asked suspiciously?

Yes, it also helped the empire a lot! At that time, the food of the army was all solved by the Yan family, otherwise this war would have been lost a long time ago! Therefore, the emperor also canonized the title of earl of the Yan family, hereditary replacement!

Yang Xiaochuan nodded, I see.

The carriage stopped, the door was opened, Yang Tianyu's family of three and Sakura all got out of the carriage, this is a large hall covering an area of 2 hectares, the palace door is written with three typing "War King Palace" under the payment, the emperor seal "Li Qingyang", this plaque is given by the emperor Bixia, it is really a grace to the home, who dares to build a palace privately in their own home, but the emperor specially approved, the palace of the prince of war can.

Just when Yang Tianyu was thinking about the plaque, a man in his early 30s, wearing a noble ribbon, walked out of the hall, walked up to Yang Tianyu and the four and said, "Marquis Yang, the prince asked me to invite you in, please come with me, please." This man said!

Yang Tianyu and the four of them followed this person into the Battle King Palace.

The design of the palace of the king of war is not the luxury of the palace, and there is no style of the palace, there are 8 stone pillars connected to the roof in the hall, there are two large vases with blue and white patterns at the door, the ground is paved with diamonds, it is enough to do it, the general princes and nobles can not take the diamond to pave the ground, can not afford it, there is a stone pillar at the top of the hall, the stone pillar is painted with a golden tiger, there are 50 rabbits under the feet, it looks very majestic, there is a huge mural hanging on the north wall of the main hall, the top is painted the great achievements of the prince of war, there is a big bow hanging on the west wall, there is a bamboo basket next to it, there are several arrows in it, and there is a copywriting below, It seems that this is the place where Prince Zhan usually handles official business, Yang Xiaochuan thought in his heart.

On the east side of the main hall, a long table has been placed, which is 100 meters long, and many nobles have gathered on both sides of the table, such as earls and marquises, and other nobles sit on the left, and family members sit on the right, this is Yang Xiaochuan's first thought, just when Yang Xiaochuan thought about it, a voice entered his ears.

Tianyu, why did you come, brother, I've been waiting for you for a long time!

Yang Tianyu looked at the rest room of the main hall, and a middle-aged man of about 50 appeared in front of everyone, this person was dressed beautifully, wearing a purple gold hairpin, holding a purple gold jade belt around his waist, a ruby inlaid in his head, a pair of green dragon leather boots on the soles of his feet, and a yellow cloak on his shoulders, and walked in front of Yang Tianyu with a smile.

The prince is fine, Yang Tianyu said, and then Mrs. Yang, Sakura, and Yang Xiaochuan all saluted the prince.

Okay, you don't have to see outside today, hehe, get up, Li Qinghe said gently.

Tianyu, this is Xiaochuan, they have grown so big, they have all become handsome young men, Li Qinghe looked at Yang Tianyu and asked?

Yes, it's children. Xiaochuan quickly gave the prince a gift, Yang Tianyu urged Yang Xiaochuan and said!

Commoner Yang Xiaochuan greeted the prince and wished him a happy birthday, as blessed as the East China Sea, longevity than Nanshan, good flowers and full moon, and family and everything. After saying that, he got down on one knee and clenched his fists.

Li Qinghe walked quickly to Yang Xiaochuan and helped Yang Xiaochuan up, don't be so polite, Xiaochuan, you don't have to listen to your father, you are like my son in my heart, don't be so restrained, hehe.

Mrs. Yang said hello to Yang Tianyu, and then led Yang Xiaochuan and Sakura to the second room of the rest room, and Mrs. Yang raised her right hand and knocked on the door.

Please come in, a gentle and gentle woman's voice sounded, and when I heard this voice, I felt very comfortable listening to it, which was Yang Xiaochuan's first feeling.

Yang Xiaochuan followed his mother and Sakura into the second rest room, the room is not big, more than 20 square meters, inside a richly dressed woman sitting on the main seat, next to her there is another 12 or 13-year-old girl, and next to her there is a middle-aged woman wearing martial arts clothes.

Mrs. Yang, you are here, please take a seat! The richly dressed woman hurriedly greeted Mrs. Yang.

The princess was polite, Mrs. Yang said a greeting, and sat down in the position of the host and guest, Yang Xiaochuan sat next to her mother, and Sakura Zi stood by Mrs. Yang's side!

Mrs. Yang saw the 12 or 13-year-old little girl, her eyes were full of smiles, oh I haven't seen you for many years, this little princess of Manyu is really getting more and more beautiful, Mrs. Yang said.

The girl smiled sweetly at Mrs. Yang, and Mrs. Yang praised her, and the girl spoke up.

As soon as they heard this voice, Mrs. Yang and Sakura couldn't help but be stunned, and Yang Xiaochuan was also stunned, because the voice that just said to invite in was this voice.

The princess laughed softly, Mrs. Yang, this is Yang Xiaochuan, your son-in-law!

Mrs. Yang hurriedly said, Yes, princess, this is my son, Yang Xiaochuan. Xiaochuan came to greet him and said to Yang Xiaochuan.

Yang Xiaochuan heard his mother's words and hurriedly stepped forward to greet the princess!

The princess saw Yang Xiaochuan's salute, and said with a chuckle, yes, he must be a promising young man in the future, hehe, get up quickly, there is no need to salute.

Hearing the princess's words, Yang Xiaochuan hurriedly said, Princess Xiexie!

Yang Xiaochuan walked to the county lord's side again, bowed slightly, hugged his fists and said, saluting the county lord.

Maggie Li looked at Yang Xiaochuan and laughed softly, it didn't matter if she laughed, but Yang Xiaochuan couldn't.

I have never seen a girl's smile, and it can be so beautiful, but Yang Xiaochuan still restrained it, and still held his fists in a saluting posture.

No need to be polite, I'm a year older than you, you can just call me Sister Manyu, hehe!

Yang Xiaochuan withdrew his fist salute and said to Maggie Lee: "The county lord is not good, you are the daughter of the prince, I am a commoner, how can I not distinguish between up and down, so I still call you the county lord!" Yang Xiaochuan said respectfully.

At this time, the woman in the martial artist clothes spoke, yes, she also knows how to count etiquette, there are not many young people like this now, come and let me see you, this female martial artist said!

Yang Xiaochuan looked at the female martial artist, then at his mother, and walked over slowly, the seniors are good, the juniors are polite. Yang Xiaochuan gave a salute with a fist.

The female martial artist didn't say anything, but said, your true qi has reached its peak, you should be about to learn the unity of immortal and martial arts, Yang Xiaochuan looked at the female martial artist, and his face was a little surprised!

How did she know, the master told me that only by reaching the realm of the Great Martial Grandmaster could I see that my true qi had reached its peak. Could it be that she is in the realm of a great martial master?

At this time, Maggie Li walked over, took the hand of the female martial artist and said, Auntie, his true qi has reached its peak, are you right?

She is Maggie Lee's aunt, isn't that the princess of the empire! Yang Xiaochuan immediately thought of it, and just wanted to kneel down and salute the princess.

But he was held up by a liliang, you don't have to be like this, boy, can Huo Feipeng's dead ghost teach you to do it? If it doesn't work, I'll change you to a teacher, and promise to be better than him, how about it?

Yang Xiaochuan immediately said, a teacher for one day and a father for life, you insulted my master just now, I want you to my master daoqian, after saying this, Yang Xiaochuan's eyes sharpened, don't think that you are a princess, you can insult people casually, hurry up daoqian, I know I can't beat you, but if you don't daoqian, even if you are seriously injured by you, I will be my master!

The female martial artist laughed, Huo Feipeng, Huo Feipeng, you really don't know what good things you have done, God has given you one, such a haode apprentice. The female martial artist muttered to herself!

Okay, am I kidding you, let me introduce me, my name is Li Qingxia, I am also from the Fan Sect, I am Huo Feipeng's junior sister, and I am also your uncle.

Yang Xiaochuan was stunned for a moment, but immediately reacted, and hurriedly saluted again, but was supported by Li Qingxia's liliang.

Your etiquette is really too much, how can you be as troublesome as Senior Brother Huo! Alas, what kind of master you really have, what kind of apprentice you have.
