The arrival of Yunjing and the others did not attract much attention. After all, too many people came, and those people did not know them.
However, no one knows them, but someone knows Manager Zhao.
When Yun Jing and Manager Zhao got off the carriage together, many people probably realized that the real owner was coming, so they subconsciously set their eyes on Yun Jing and looked at him secretly.
After looking at the cloud scenery without leaving any trace, those people almost had the same sentence in mind:
Is this the apprentice that Mr. Li wants to accept? Even if he is so young, he doesn’t look like anything special. He is so ordinary that people can’t stand out. He thought he was some exquisite young man who would be unforgettable at first sight.
Of course, if you think so, no one will come out and comment on Yunjing at this time. Doing so is simply making yourself uncomfortable.
If Mr. Li can accept him as his disciple, there must be something that Mr. Li values about him, but we can't see it. At this time, making judgments and adding trouble to others is not to offend others, just look at it.
No matter what, from today on, Yunjing, this little baby who appeared out of nowhere, will definitely be remembered by many people.
When Yunjing and Manager Zhao got off the carriage, he immediately felt many eyes looking at him intentionally or unintentionally. He didn't feel embarrassed, but looked at those people curiously.
At this time, a thought came to his mind, that is, his master invited so many people here? After thinking about it, he probably guessed that not all of these people were invited by his master, and there must be some who were uninvited.
The people who come here want to take this opportunity to make friends with people they don’t usually know.
There are people like this everywhere, and on days like this, even if the host knew about it, it would be hard to chase them away.
In addition to Yunjing's attention, his family members who accompanied him were also the focus of attention.
Unlike Yunjing, Yunlin and the others had never experienced such a battle. Facing the gazes of those people, they felt uncomfortable all over and did not dare to look at them. They lowered their heads and followed suit.
Fortunately, this awkward mood did not last long. Zhang Changgui ran out from the crowd to say hello. Now that they had an acquaintance, Yunlin and the others felt a little more relaxed.
To be honest, not only Yunlin and the others were at a loss at this moment, but Zhang Changgui was also embarrassed. He was invited by Li Qiu and he came too, but he had not been embarrassed to go in before. It was not until Yunjing and the others arrived that they showed up and set foot in Xiaolin Building together.
.
The first floor of Xiaolin Building is a hall. When Yunjing and the others entered, most of the twenty or thirty tables were already occupied.
However, they did not stay here and went straight upstairs under the leadership of Manager Zhao.
The second floor was relatively quiet. There were some seats by the windows, screen partitions and the like. There were also many people sitting there. They still did not stop and went directly to the third floor under the curious gaze of people.
Along the way, Manager Zhao nodded and exchanged greetings with people from time to time. During this period, he whispered to Yun Jing that most of the people sitting on the first floor were the servants of the real guests. On the second floor, some were the town servants invited by Master Yun Jing.
There are respectable people on the upper floor, some of whom come uninvited, and those on the third floor are the relatives and friends of his master Li Qiu.
He told Yunjing that there was no need to say anything now. After the apprenticeship ceremony, Li Qiu would naturally bring him to get to know him.
Manager Zhao said this during these journeys and reminded him again because he was afraid that Yunjing would be ignorant and make some jokes.
It is worth mentioning that even though Zhang Changgui was invited by Li Qiu, because of his weight, he was not allowed to go to the third floor and was placed in a relatively remote location on the second floor...
Arriving on the third floor, Yunjing unexpectedly discovered that there were no private rooms on the third floor of Xiaolin Building, but a hall of about 200 square meters.
There are only six large round tables here. Except for Li Qiu's table, the others are almost full. There are men, women and children. Yunjing doesn't know anyone except Li Qiu, the master.
Li Qiu noticed the arrival of Yunjing and his family immediately, and immediately said with a smile: "Xiaojing, come here, come to me, uncle Yun, brother Yunshan, and younger siblings are all here, no need to
Discreet and polite”
Without any surprise, the arrival of Yunjing's family became the focus. People who were talking and laughing stopped talking and looked at them curiously.
This made Yun Lin and others so embarrassed that they could only look at the floor. This situation was too difficult for them.
Li Qiu's large round table that could seat sixteen people only had nine people sitting there, and the free seats were obviously reserved for Yunjing's family.
To Li Qiu's left was a graceful woman who looked to be in her forties, to her right were two young men in their early twenties, and further to the right was a young woman who looked to be less than twenty years old.
The others seemed to be about the same age as Li Qiu, some were gentle and elegant, and some had a bookish air, and some Yunjing felt a hint of majesty in them, probably officials.
Yunjing and the others went over and came to Li Qiu's side. Yunjing said "Master".
Li Qiu nodded and smiled: "Good boy, are you tired from the journey? Sit down and rest for a while. This is your senior wife. They are my sons and daughters. You can just call them senior brother and senior sister. I will wait for the others.
I’ll introduce it to you again”
With that said, Li Qiu motioned for Yun Jing to sit on his left, and the graceful woman sat on an empty chair on her left.
The senior ladies and senior sisters that Li Qiu spoke of were also the graceful woman and those young men and women around him.
Yunjing did not sit down immediately. Instead, he called Mrs. Yongrong and the three young men and women respectively, "Senior Wife, Senior Brother and Senior Sister."
"Good boy, sit down, sit next to me, let me take a good look." Li Qiu's wife, Yun Jing's mistress, took Yun Jing's hand and motioned him to sit down. Looking at Yun Jing's expression, his face was filled with tears.
They all look at the kind smiles of their children.
When Yun Jing sat down according to his words, Li Qiu's children and Yun Jing's senior brothers and sisters looked at Yun Jing respectively and said with a smile: "Little junior brother, after today, we will be a family from now on. We must have a good time after this."
Close and close”
"I'll take you to have fun"
"I'll take you to eat something delicious..."
They looked at Yun Jing, curious and enthusiastic, obviously not repelled by him becoming their father's first apprentice.
Yunjing smiled and nodded. Because he was not familiar with it, he didn't say anything and sat next to the master's wife.
This is in line with his attitude, which is too shy for such a scene at his age...
At this moment, Yun Jing was thinking about a question. He was sitting on the left hand side of his master and his wife, while the master's biological child was sitting on the right hand side. If Zuo Weizun said it, wouldn't it mean that, as his disciple, at least
In such a formal occasion, identity is more important than the master's biological child?
When Yunjing and the others were greeting each other, Yunjing's family members were also placed at this table. However, Yunlin and others were so reserved when facing such an occasion that they didn't even dare to say anything, and they were too embarrassed to look around. Anyway,
Feeling uncomfortable all over.
Manager Zhao came to Li Qiu and whispered: "Master, all the main guests have arrived. Do you think...?"
Nodding, Li Qiu stood up and said: "Everyone, I found a good disciple a few days ago, and today I officially accept him as my disciple. Please help me bear witness. Next, we will do business first, and I will introduce him to you after the business is done.
My good disciple"
With that said, Li Qiu walked to the separate table and chairs that had been prepared aside under the gaze of many people.
Manager Zhao had already given instructions on the way, so Yunjing got up and followed.
At this time, someone started joking, and he obviously had a good relationship with Li Qiu. He said: "Brother Qingshan, you are so anxious to complete the apprenticeship ceremony, are you afraid that we will steal your good disciple? Haha."
Qingshan is Li Qiu's name. Using this word to call him on this occasion shows that the speaker has a good relationship with Li Qiu.
"I'm really afraid of being robbed by you," Li Qiu, who had already sat down, said with a smile. No one knew whether he was joking or serious.
But as soon as he said these words, people looked at Yunjing with different eyes. Could it be that there is something special about this child?
The ceremony was about to begin. At this time, people were not saying anything and watching quietly. Even the originally noisy downstairs became much quieter.
At this time, Li Qiu was sitting upright, and Yunjing came to stand three steps away from him.
Li Qiu looked at Yunjing with a serious expression and said loudly: "Yunjing, are you willing to worship me as your teacher, uphold my will as a teacher, inherit my mantle, and receive my teachings? Will you have no regrets in this life?"
"Disciple is willing, I will have no regrets in this life!" Yun Jing replied.
According to what he had rehearsed on the road, when he was answering, he bent his legs and knelt down in an orderly manner.
Li Qiu nodded with satisfaction and said: "Okay, I will accept you as my disciple today under the witness of everyone."
Yun Jing did not kowtow and kneel down immediately, but at this moment, Manager Zhao handed a cup of tea to Yun Jing and said loudly: "Bye, tea!"
So, Yunjing held the tea cup with both hands and raised it above his head, bent down and touched his forehead to the ground, saying: "Yunjing bows to the master today, and I sincerely ask my master to teach me the way to live in the world!"
Li Qiu took the tea from Yun Jing's hand, took a sip, and said, "I accept your obeisance as my master, and I will teach you the way to live in the world!"
After speaking, he placed the tea cup on the table next to him.
Yunjing was still kneeling and said, "Thank you, Master."
After speaking, he straightened up, but did not stand up, still kneeling.
Then, Manager Zhao next to him handed a cup of tea to Yun Jing again and said: "Goodbye, here's the tea."
Once again, he raised the teacup high and bent down to touch the ground with his forehead. Yunjing said: "Yunjing bows down to the master today. I sincerely ask my mentor to teach me how to establish myself."
Li Qiu took the tea in his hand, took a sip, and said solemnly: "I accept your obeisance as my teacher, and I will not hesitate to teach you how to achieve success in life." (Note 1)
"Thank you, Master," Yunjing said. After receiving his master's reply, he straightened up and knelt down.
Manager Zhao handed the third cup of tea to Yun Jing and said: "Three thanks, tea!"
Yunjing raised the teacup high and touched the ground with his forehead: "Yunjing bows to my mentor today. I beg my mentor to help me get lost and confused in the future."
Li Qiu took the tea, took a sip and said, "I accept your obeisance as my master, and I will definitely guide you out of your lost ways and confusion in the future!"
"Thank you, master." Yunjing thanked him respectfully and straightened up.
Manager Zhao on the side said with a smile: "It's done!"
Li Qiu also smiled, stood up and looked at the cloud scene in front of him and said: "My good disciple, get up."
Disciple, disciple, after these three worships, although Yunjing is his disciple, he is no different from his biological son.
"congratulations……"
After the apprenticeship ceremony was completed, everyone around stood up and congratulated...
