Chapter 021 The Guo Family Brothers
The tray Guo Zhengguo was carrying at this time contained six items: celery, lotus seeds, red beans, dates, longan, and dried lean meat strips.
These six things taken together are called the "Six Rituals of Shuxiu". In ancient times, before a disciple formally began to worship a teacher, in order to express respect for the teacher, he would perform "Xiu", also known as "Xiu".
Each of these six rituals has its own interpretation. Celery, which means studiousness and diligence; lotus seeds, which means painstaking education; red beans, which means good luck; dates, which means getting to high school early; and longan, which means meritorious service. To achieve perfection; dried lean pork strips are used to express some of the disciple's thoughts.
Zhuo Jun recognized this because when he was a child, he was only nine years old. It was not until he spent three months gathering these six rites that his master officially agreed to accept him as a disciple, so he was very impressed.
As for the cup of tea on the mahogany desk, it should be "apprenticeship tea".
Seeing Guo Zhengguo taking such great pains to follow the ancient etiquette, Zhuo Jun didn't know what to do for a moment.
"...Teacher Zhuo, is it because I'm too old?" Guo Zhengguo also knew that he was trying to force others to do something difficult, but he had lived for more than half his life and knew that if he missed this opportunity, he would never see it again in this life. I want to meet a master like Zhuo Jun!
"That's not true..."
"Oh, I'm so worried. Teacher Xiaozhuo, for the sake of our Lao Guo's sincerity, accept him as your apprentice. I, Xie Mei, can guarantee that you will never meet him again if you travel all over the world. A hard-working apprentice like Lao Guo! He really likes to study this and will never let you down!"
At some point, Xie Mei, wearing a bib and white face, also came to the door of the study and couldn't help but help.
Zhuo Jun has actually thought about this issue carefully during this period. It is absolutely impossible to formally accept Guo Zhengguo as his disciple and be included in the gate! However, some things about food and health can be taught. In fact, Above, apart from Patriarch Chen Tuan’s inner alchemy technique, the Stag Kung Fu and some other advanced techniques and guidance techniques that are now extinct, as well as some formulas for hidden incense secret medicines, Master does not prohibit other things. He spreads it.
The most important thing is that it can be seen that Guo Zhengguo really likes this way, he has a certain foundation in it, and he is a good person.
"Secretary Guo, Auntie Xie, it's like this." Zhuo Jun pondered for a moment and said solemnly: "I can impart part of the sect's inheritance on food and health preservation to others, but due to the sect's rules, I cannot formally accept it. Secretary Guo, you are my disciple, which means that you can study this way with me, but you cannot be included in the door. At most, you can only be counted as a registered or outer disciple. Are you willing?"
Plop.
Guo Zhengguo knelt down without hesitation. He was seeking the truth wholeheartedly and didn't care about his identity at all. For a moment, his eyes were red with excitement. He held the tea cup with trembling hands and offered it respectfully, "Master, please use the tea. "
This time, Zhuo Jun did not help him, nor did he show humility. He sat on the old man's chair, took the tea cup and took a sip according to the rules. After casually telling him a few simple rules, he quickly reached out and took Guo Zhengguo's hand. He helped him up and said with a wry smile: "Secretary Guo, now you are satisfied."
"Master..."
Zhuo Jun waved his hand to stop him and said solemnly: "You should understand what I mean. We don't have the status of master and disciple. I just accepted your tea ceremony and paid homage to me. I just don't want you to feel indebted to me when you practice in the future."
, I feel that I have learned in vain, which leads to unclear ideas. Remember, from now on I will still call you Secretary Guo, and you will still call me Teacher Xiaozhuo!"
Sensing Zhuo Jun's seriousness, Guo Zhengguo didn't dare to insist anymore. He said in his heart, "Don't scream if you don't let me. Anyway, you are the master in my heart. I will treat you as my master!"
Seeing that Guo Zhengguo's wish came true, Xie Mei was sincerely happy for him. She was happily going to the kitchen to continue cooking when Zhuo Jun suddenly stopped her, "Aunt Xie, please wait a moment."
Zhuo Jun walked straight to the water dispenser in the corner of the living room, took out a disposable cup, poured a cup of pure water, then took out a small white porcelain bottle, carefully dropped a drop of bright cyan transparent liquid into it, and then, there was an indescribable flow of water.
The inexplicable fragrance instantly filled the entire room, and Guo Zhengguo and Xie Mei, who were standing far away, suddenly felt refreshed.
"Teacher Xiaozhuo, what are you doing?" Xie Mei looked at the fragrant cup of pure water in front of her and said with some surprise.
Zhuo Jun smiled and said: "Secretary Guo has just performed a complete apprenticeship ceremony. According to the rules, I have to return the ceremony. I didn't know it in advance, so I didn't make any preparations, so I just mixed a cup of beauty water. Although I can't let you come back, auntie."
Youth, but if you have less gray hair, lighter wrinkles, and sleep better at night, it won’t be a problem..."
Before he finished speaking, Xie Mei over there raised her neck, fucked her all in one breath, wiped the corners of her mouth, and said without finishing her words:
"Um, Teacher Xiaozhuo, how many cups of this beauty water should you drink a day? How many days does a course of treatment last?"
"..."
While Xie Mei was cooking in the kitchen, Zhuo Jun completed a "guidance" massage for Guo Zhengguo.
Like Fang Zhengyuan, Guo Zhengguo is also a knowledgeable person. As soon as Zhuo Jun's hand touched his shoulder, he immediately felt a warm little mouse scurrying around the shoulder joint. He knew that this should be a legend.
The inner family is really angry, and I can't help but respect my new master even more!
The meal was very sumptuous, and Xie Mei's drinking capacity was quite good. Because of the relationship of apprenticeship, the couple and Zhuo Jun unconsciously became a little closer. They drank and drank, the host and guest chatted happily, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
While eating, the doorbell rang suddenly. Guo Zhengguo was in a high mood and didn't want to answer it, but the doorbell kept ringing and finally started banging, so he had to frown and get up to open the door.
After the door opened, there was a middle-aged man in his mid-thirties standing at the door. He had a Chinese character and a face full of uprightness. His facial features were very similar to Guo Zhengguo's, but he was much burlier. The middle-aged man was neatly dressed and holding a briefcase.
, exudes a kind of righteousness that is not angry and self-defeating. It seems that he is a figure in charge of authority.
"I asked you, can you please be gentler with me in the future, just like a bandit!" Guo Zhengguo's face softened slightly when he saw the person coming, and his eyes widened.
The middle-aged man chuckled, "Okay, brother, I just came back from a business trip and I'm hungry!" As he said that, he strode into the house, found a pair of slippers and put them on with ease, and shouted:
"Sister-in-law, where is the rice? I'm here to eat it again!"
Then he saw Zhuo Jun sitting on the dining table. His relaxed feeling suddenly stopped and he hesitated: "Brother, sister-in-law, there are guests here!"
"Zheng Ding, come and sit down, we are all our own people." Xie Mei greeted with a smile, then turned to Zhuo Jun and introduced: "Teacher Xiao Zhuo, this is Lao Guo's younger brother. He is now a criminal police officer of the Municipal Public Security Bureau
Be the leader of the detachment."
"Sister-in-law, who is this little brother?" Guo Zhengding felt that his sister-in-law Xie Mei attached great importance to Zhuo Jun, and asked with confusion on his face.
"What little brother? Be respectful, he is your brother and I just became my master today!" Guo Zhengguo said with a dissatisfied look on his face when he heard this.
"...Brother, you don't joke like this." Guo Zhengding casually pinched a piece of chicken and stuffed it into his mouth, smiling nonchalantly.
"Who are you kidding? Guo Zhengding, look at you, do you look like a people's policeman? You don't stand or sit down. No wonder the people's dissatisfaction is so loud now! I tell you, I am very serious,
The 'Six Rituals of Xiu Xiu' have been offered, and the apprenticeship tea has also been served!"
"What?" Even though Guo Zhengding was used to seeing big winds and waves, he was still a little dumbfounded when he looked at Zhuo Jun in front of him.
Delicate, fair, elegant, and in his early twenties at most, Guo Zhengding thought at first that it was a former student of his brother Guo Zhengguo who came to visit him.
After all, Guo Zhengguo has been engaged in teaching before, and his level is first-rate. He is also an expert lecturer who enjoys special subsidies from the provincial government. He is definitely full of talents. Every year, many students come to visit him, and he has met a few before.
Second-rate.
He never expected that his brother Guo Zhengguo would worship this young boy in front of him, who looked like he had no hair, as his master! If his brother was called master, what should he be called?
He didn't want to believe it, but he couldn't help but not believe what Guo Zhengguo said about the "Six Rites of Practice" and the apprenticeship tea, because this was the consistent tradition of his family's apprenticeship. When he was a child, he also apprenticed to his apprentice in this way.
"Sister-in-law, my brother..."
"Zhengding, my sister-in-law and I agree with this matter and have witnessed it with my own eyes. Your brother has already kowtowed too much." Xie Mei said in a funny tone, ignoring Guo Zhengding's look for help.
"But, him?" Guo Zhengding said with a bitter look on his face. Since his sister-in-law Xie Mei agreed, that basically eliminates the possibility of being deceived, because most of his criminal investigation skills were taught by Xie Mei.
, but for a while, my heart still couldn't turn around.
"He, what is he? Have you been an official for a few days and started to look down on people with your nose in the air? He is your brother and my new master. You want to call me uncle! I will give your uncle a cup of tea quickly." Guo Zhengguo said.
Hui seemed even more dissatisfied, and his voice was much higher.
Guo Zhengding's parents passed away when he was ten years old. It was his brother Guo Zhengguo, who was more than ten years older than him, who raised him up and provided for him to study. His brother and sister-in-law treated him like his biological parents. Even later, after he graduated from college, it was his sister-in-law who thanked him.
Thanks to Mei's relationship, he entered the Municipal Public Security Bureau. With his own strength and opportunities, he rose all the way to become a member of the Municipal Bureau's Party Committee and the leader of the Criminal Police Detachment of the Municipal Public Security Bureau.
Therefore, he was in awe of Guo Zhengguo in his heart. When Guo Zhengguo got angry at this time, he really didn't dare not do what he said.
Forget it, just bear with it, the worst is to avoid him when you see him in the future, Guo Zhengding thought to himself. But when he thought about the fact that he, the head of the criminal police detachment of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, had to hide from a little boy with no hair at all.
When I was young, I felt depressed and depressed for a while.
Holding back his reluctance, he picked up a cup of tea and walked up to Zhuo Jun, bowed and held the tea in his hands, "Uncle, please have some tea."
After secretly adding the word "小", it suddenly became less difficult to say.
Zhuo Jun didn't feel uncomfortable at all. He smiled lightly, took the tea cup, took a sip, nodded and said, "Well, Captain Guo is too polite."
Seeing Zhuo Jun acting so matter-of-factly and calmly, Guo Zhengding felt even more unhappy. This guy was young, but he was pretending to be young. You know, even the director and political commissar of the municipal bureau couldn't respect him like this.
Tea! I suddenly felt that no matter how good the food on the table was, I had no intention of eating any more. Just when the phone rang, I said hello and left in a hurry on the pretext that I still had a case.
Chapter completed!
