Chapter 194: Apprentice (two more) (1/2)

Chapter 194 Apprenticeship (two more)

”But aren't you going to Chunwei? Where can I get so much time to teach me? Do you still have to take the exam?” Small clearance is not so easy to compromise.

This is what Gu Jiao's heart is. Now the top priority of the family is Chun Wei next month. Whether he can be the Gongshi Lady depends on Xiao Liulang's performance.

Xiao Liulang: I knew you would say that.

Xiao Liulang said sternly: ”I didn't teach you, but Grandpa Aunt taught you, and Grandpa Aunt taught you too.”

Xiao Jingkong collapsed on the chair without a soul.

The next day, Xiao Liulang led Gu Xiaoshun and Gu Yan to apprenticeship to learn art.

The process of apprenticeship went smoothly, and the other party did not ask for expensive apprenticeship, so he accepted the two apprentices very kindly.

Master's surname is Lu. He is a man with a national character face. His true age is almost fifty, but he looks less than forty.

Gu Xiaoshun scratched his head and asked Gu Yan in a low voice, “Gu Yan, have you heard of Master’s name before?”

Gu Yan shook his head: ”No, I only heard of Lu Yuan.”

”Who is Lu Yuan?” Gu Xiaoshun asked. He is a soil bun and doesn't know anything about Beijing.

Gu Yan explained patiently: ”A master! It's amazing! Although our master is also named Lu, we definitely have nothing to do with that master.”

Master Lu is the most famous craftsman in Zhaoguo. He even made the emperor's dragon chair and dragon bed, which shows how important his position in Zhaoguo is.

There are rumors that the swallows carved by Master Lu can fly, and the fishes carved by Master Lu can swim. What's more, it is said that Master Lu once carved a beauty, and that beauty survived and became Master Lu's wife.

There are so many rumors about Master Lu that I can't finish talking about it for three days and three nights.

It's just that the temper of this Master Lu is moody and very weird. He once offended his majesty and was almost given death by his majesty.

After that, Master Lu disappeared and stopped taking business from the court.

Some people also said that Master Lu changed his name and changed his surname and continued to be a carpenter in another place. Nowadays, many people on the market boast that they sell Master Lu’s works.

The two were talking in the yard, and a woman in a cloth skirt came out carrying a dustpan and pickles.

Looking at her posture alone, this woman can be called graceful and graceful, but at the glance of her face...Both of them are a bit wrong.

That is a face that has been disfigured.

Different from the smooth birthmark on Gu Jiao's face, the scar on this face is staggered, terrifying, and a little coward can scare away on the spot.

The two did not move, nor stared at each other for a long time.

Gu Jiao often gets blinded because of her disability. Gu Yan and Gu Xiaoshun will not treat others like this.

”Who are you?” Gu Yan asked.

His eyes are clear, without a trace of fear or contempt.

The woman smiled.

Ordinary people can feel warm when they laugh, but she doesn’t. With a smile, all the scars on her face moved, making it even more hideous and terrifying.

She said: ”Are you his new disciples? I am your wife.”

turned out to be the teacher's wife.

Seeing that she didn't seem to be lying, they bowed their hands and bowed to him: ”Madam.”

The woman didn't say yes or no, she just smiled faintly, put a dustpan and pickles on the shelf to dry, and turned around and went into the house.

Gu Yan became more sure that this craftsman surnamed Lu was not Master Lu.

Master Lu’s wife is a great beauty, and anyone who has seen her is not unfazed by her beauty.

His aunt Shufei is already beautiful in the sixth house, but it is said that compared with Master Lu’s wife, she will still be eclipsed.

Gu Yan and Gu Xiaoshun waited in the yard for a while before Xiao Liulang and Master Lu came out.

”The two children will take care of you.” Xiao Liulang arched his hands and said to Master Lu.

Master Lu also gave a slight gift: ”Young Master Xiao is polite. I will accompany my wife out in the past two days, and let them come to class in three days.”

”Okay.” Xiao Liulang responded, and asked Gu Xiaoshun and Gu Yan to say goodbye to Master Lu before getting in the carriage and leaving.

After the three people left, Master Lu was about to go back to the room, but he saw his wife Nan Xiang coming out of the room with the curtain.

”It's windy, why did you come out?” Master Lu stepped forward, holding his wife's arm with concern and said.

Nan Xiang looked at the carriage that was gradually disappearing at the end of the alley, and asked him: ”Why did you suddenly agree to accept a disciple? Isn't it the most annoying to be a master?”

”Oh.” Master Lu sighed, ”The young man named Xiao Liulang is Feng Lao's apprentice. I owed Feng Lao Qing back then, but this time I just treat it as returning it to Feng Lao.”

”Old Feng accepts disciples?” Nan Xiang said, ”That old-fashioned man can't even look down on Zhuang Daru, so he can look down on a child with a lame leg?”

The Zhuang Daru in her mouth is Zhuang Xianzhi, the fourth master of the banker, who was appointed as the governor of Youzhou a while ago and is now one of the best scholars in the Zhao Kingdom.

Zhuang Xianzhi has always respected Feng Lao, hoping to inherit Feng Lao's mantle, but unfortunately, Feng Lao did not know why he confiscated him as a disciple.

”I see that kid is not bad.” Master Lu said, ”It's not like an ordinary country kid in conversation.”

”Could the person whom Feng Lao admired be a simple person?” Nan Xiang smiled faintly, and moved the topic away from Xiao Liulang. ”If one favors two apprentices, will it be too costly? ?”

Master Lu said: ”It's not too big. If it weren't for Feng Lao's help, I'm afraid I won't meet you in this life. Feng Lao is our matchmaker, and I will survive this favor anyway.”

Nanxiang is amused.

In front of outsiders, she was a little worried that she would be too terrible when she smiled, but she had no worries about this in front of her husband.

She laughed enough, then took Lovejun’s hand and said, ”I like those two children, the ones who came before are much better.”

Gu Xiaoshun and Gu Yan weren’t the first two to ask for a teacher’s apprenticeship. I don’t know how many of them came here before. Many of them were talented, but Nanxiang didn’t like any of them.

As long as she showed up, those people seemed to have seen a ghost, and some were even scared to pee on the spot by her.

”Xiang'er likes it.” He accepts apprentices regardless of their aptitude, but depends on the lady's liking, even if he is an idiot. Not to mention, that pretty young boy named Gu Yan seems to be a fool.

”Teach well.” Nan Xiang said, ”Don't fool others.”

Master Lu cleared his throat: ”I know, ma'am.”

Don’t look at his willingness to agree, he actually has a spectrum in his heart. The carpentry work is hard, tiring and boring. The average person can’t hold on for a few days, up to three months. He can guarantee that the two children will take the initiative to ask him not to study. Up.

Xiao Liulang and the three returned to Bishui Hutong, and they heard the noise in the courtyard all the way. It turned out that Feng Lin and Lin Chengye were here.

Along with the two of them, there was an acquaintance who had met in Pingcheng-Du Ruohan.
