In fact, there was nothing to deal with. Yunlin and the others were only going to attend Yunjing's apprenticeship ceremony, and they were not going to stay permanently. So at most they could just wash up and wear "decent clothes" that they were reluctant to wear.
"Mr. Yun, wait"
When Yun Lin turned around, Manager Zhao called out to him.
Yun Lin turned around and asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"
Smiling, Manager Zhao signaled Yun Lin to wait a moment, and then said outside: "Bring the things in."
Then, under the confused gazes of the Yunjing family, the remaining five servants of the Li family came outside the yard, each holding a wooden tray with neatly stacked brand new clothes.
After these people came in, Manager Zhao smiled and said: "Mr. Yun, my master prepared these for you. Your family has them. Go and change them."
Although the clothes in the tray are not luxurious fabrics like silk, they are still good fabrics that ordinary farmers would be reluctant to buy even if they tighten their belts.
Looking at those clothes, Yunlin was a little confused and asked: "What does this mean? No, I mean, we can't accept it. This is impossible."
The Yunjing family had never worn such fine clothes, and besides, they accepted such 'precious' things from others. While they were flattered, they really couldn't afford to accept it shamelessly.
"Mr. Yun, my relatives and friends will all attend the apprenticeship ceremony later. Well, they are more or less people of some status. I will accept Master Yun as my disciple. There will be so many people watching, although they will know about you.
Your family will not care about what you wear, but you have to think about Master Yun, right? If you don't dress decently, they will think that the master does not pay attention to Master Yun as a disciple, and then both the master and Master Yun will be disgraced.
You don’t want to do that, right? So it’s okay, just accept it. Master Yun becomes a master to me, and we are a family. Don’t be a stranger, and don’t feel embarrassed. In the future, Master Yun will be more filial to the master, and learn more skills to help him grow his face.
That's it." Manager Zhao had obviously anticipated this situation and had already prepared some hard words.
He said so, Yun Lin and others really couldn't refuse, so they could only accept it.
Seeing this, Manager Zhao was relieved. It would be difficult if the Yunjing family refused to accept it.
It has to be said that Yunjing's master Li Qiu was very well prepared. Not only were the clothes of Yunjing's family relatively decent and well-fitting, but the condition of Jiang Susu, a pregnant woman, was also taken into consideration. In addition to loose clothes, she also had a pair of
There are silver hairpins and rouge and gouache.
Jiang Susu had never used these luxury goods before. When she was at a loss, the woman who brought her clothes smiled and said to find a place to teach her how to use them, thus resolving the embarrassing situation.
Regarding these details, Yun Jing estimated that they were prepared only when Liu Dazhuang and the others went back to report that day.
Because Yunjing and his family had to go to town, and there were livestock and poultry at home that needed someone to take care of them, but Manager Zhao arranged for one person to stay and help take care of them.
Even this has been considered.
Yunjing had to admire his master's carefulness in this regard. Of course, it was also possible that his servants had helped him think through these things...
When it got dark, Yunjing's family had packed up.
Including Xiao Yundong, all of them were washed and put on new clothes. It is said that people rely on clothes to wear horses and saddles. If the Yunjing family was freshly dressed and freshly dressed, if they were not in this small farmyard, they would not be able to recognize them on the street in the town.
It turned out that they were farmers digging in the fields.
Especially Jiang Susu, who was always beautiful, but now she wears new clothes, adds a hairpin, and the woman has put on light makeup and arranged her hair, her whole look is completely new.
Yunshan was stunned. My wife is so beautiful? Why didn't I notice it before? He couldn't believe it. He rubbed his eyes to make sure he was not dazzled or dreaming.
Jiang Susu, who had never been so 'dressed up' before, was embarrassed to see her. She lowered her head and blushed and didn't know where to put her hands.
"Mom, you are so beautiful," Yun Jing looked at her and said from the bottom of his heart.
Jiang Susu patted his head and blushed and said, "You're the only one with a sweet mouth. You're already old, so you're not good-looking." As she spoke, facing the gazes of others, she lowered her head in embarrassment.
Yun Jing said: "It just looks good."
That's what he said, but Yunjing felt uncomfortable. Originally, his mother was in the most beautiful years of her life, but she worked so hard for her children and this family, and never dressed up seriously for herself, not even a piece of jewelry.
, I gave my whole body and mind to this family, and I’m afraid I didn’t take even a moment to think about myself...
The family packed up and made arrangements, and at dawn they set off for the town with Manager Zhao and others.
Yunjing and others were being carried on horseback. Jiang Susu was pregnant and naturally could not ride a horse, so he was carried by two healthy women on a recliner covered with quilts.
She had never enjoyed this before, and she didn't know what to do.
Their family's high-profile activities certainly attracted the attention of the villagers, but they were too embarrassed to come to inquire. There were various speculations and discussions, but they would not say bad things sourly. After all, the villagers all remembered his family's kindness...
…
The group of people left the small road in Xiaoxi Village and arrived at the official road shortly after dawn.
At this time, Yunjing and the others no longer need to ride horses, and Jiang Susu does not need to be carried, because several carriages have been prepared and waiting on the official road.
Manager Zhao settled Yun Lin and the others, and then he and Yun Jing got into a carriage alone. On the way to town, he told Yun Jing over and over again what to do when he officially became a disciple.
Yunjing listened carefully and memorized it carefully, fearing that he would make a joke if he misremembered something.
Even though Yun Jing had a good memory and could remember everything in one go, Manager Zhao was worried and asked him repeatedly if he remembered.
To be honest, Yunjing once thought that becoming a disciple was just a matter of kowtowing a few times and calling him "Master". After listening to Manager Zhao's instructions, he realized how ceremonial it was to become a mentor.
The intensity...
The weather was good that day. When the group of them came to the town, the sky was bright and cloudless, but the weather was a bit hot in the middle of summer.
They did not go to Li Qiu's house, but went straight to Xiaolinlou, the best restaurant in town.
On the way, Yunjing heard from Manager Zhao that today the entire Xiaolin Building was booked by his master Li Qiu as a place to entertain guests who were witnessing his acceptance of disciples.
Yunjing didn't calculate or think about the required expenses. In short, he believed that even if he packed up his house and sold it, he probably wouldn't be able to afford it.
It's not that Li Qiu is extravagant and wasteful, he really attaches great importance to recruiting disciples. Yunjing even had a vague guess that if it weren't for taking care of his family, Li Qiu might have to go to the county to hold this ceremony!
Xiaolin Building is on the same street where Yunjing and Yunlin originally sold maltose. It has three floors.
When Yunjing and the others arrived, the place was already decorated with lanterns and colorful lights and bustling with activity.
At the entrance of Xiaolin Building, horse-drawn carriages and ox-carts came one after another, as well as sedans and the like.
It was obvious that those who came to watch the ceremony were more or less well-dressed and well-dressed. Every time they arrived, someone would invite them in at the door and arrange for them to sit down.
Some of those people knew each other and some did not. Those who knew each other would exchange greetings when meeting each other, and those who did not know each other would also nod to others. By taking this opportunity, they thought that many unknown people behind them could also get to know each other.
Li Qiu invited many people to watch the ceremony, and those people came with more or less servants, so the entrance of Xiaolin Building was packed.
Such a lively scene is rare in Niujiao Town only a few times a year. There were many people watching the excitement, but no accidents occurred. There were more than a dozen police officers maintaining law and order.
It can be seen that Li Qiu's weight in Niujiao Town is quite large. He recruits apprentices and has police officers to maintain law and order...
