Today can be regarded as the highlight moment of Lao Wei's life.
Not only did he become the young master's personal guard, but he also accepted a princess as his disciple. By the way, he also licked the widow of the same village, although he didn't lick her.
"Congratulations to Old Wei for accepting a disciple. It's such a happy thing, wouldn't it be too much to treat me to a drink?" Li Qinzai patted Old Wei on the shoulder with a smile.
Old Wei chuckled and said: "It's not too much. Fifth Young Master came to the old man's house and asked my mother-in-law to cook some of her specialty dishes."
Li Qinzai blinked: "Just the two of us drinking, it seems a bit dull, why not invite Widow Song here too?"
Old Wei was startled and said hurriedly: "No need!"
As he spoke, he quickly glanced at Princess Yiyang next to him and said in a low voice: "Fifth Young Master, save some face. This old man will have to teach his disciples in the future."
Li Qinzai laughed loudly, then glanced at Princess Yiyang and said: "A gentleman, a master, both civil and military. You are worthy of being a princess. You are treated luxuriously and top-notch when you first come here."
Yiyang lowered his head and said, "This disciple is seeking another disciple. I hope you won't be surprised, Sir."
Li Qinzai smiled and said: "No wonder, I also hope that you can learn more skills. If you have many skills, you will not be overwhelmed. Life is still long. There is always something that can make a living and save lives."
Old Wei's eyes lit up: "'Many arts are not burdensome'. This statement sounds reasonable. After all, Fifth Young Master is a great talent. Every word he speaks has the taste of a sage."
"That is, I have been a sage for half a month."
Pointing at Old Wei, Li Qinzai said to Yiyang: "Let's learn from him today and practice martial arts first. Practicing martial arts is very hard, I hope you can persevere. I will discuss a class schedule with Old Wei later, and we will take two courses: civil and martial arts.
, strive for both without delay."
After hesitating for a moment, Li Qinzai waved to Cui Jie and Qiao'er again.
Bringing Qiao'er to Old Wei, Li Qinzai said with a smile: "One cow is led, and two cows are led, so why not teach my dog too? The boy is naughty and active, so he should be taught how to defend himself.
"
Old Wei was startled and his expression immediately became solemn. He bowed solemnly to Li Qinzai and said in a deep voice: "Fifth Young Master is really willing to let the Young Master practice martial arts with the old man?"
Li Qinzai was also startled and said: "Why are you so formal all of a sudden? Practice martial arts... While you are teaching the princess, you are also teaching Qiao'er. Is there any problem?"
Old Wei solemnly said: "The old man taught the princess, in fact he was a master and apprentice but not in the name of master and apprentice, but if the old man taught the young man, it would be extraordinary. This is the humble ability of the old man that the fifth young man respects. If the fifth young master
The young man has been entrusted with something, and the old man will risk his life to train the young man into a good person."
Li Qinzai kept blinking. The inexplicable serious and solemn atmosphere at the scene made him a little confused. It was as if Qiao'er's apprenticeship had touched a sacred muscle in Lao Wei's heart...
Cui Jie, who was standing next to her, understood the whole story, so she quickly pushed Qiao'er and said, "Qiao'er, kneel down to master and worship me!"
Qiao'er was also smart. She immediately knelt on her knees and said in a sweet voice, "Qiao'er pays homage to Master."
After he finished speaking and kowtowed three times, Lao Wei held his arms with both hands and helped him up.
The ceremony is completed.
Li Qinzai also bowed to Old Wei and said: "My dog will be entrusted to Master Wei from now on. If the child makes a fuss or gets angry, feel free to scold him or say hello. I will never blame him."
Old Wei also saluted Li Qinzai solemnly: "Old man will live up to the great trust of the fifth young man. If the young man fails to become a talented man, the old man will just die."
Li Qinzai said hurriedly: "It's not that serious, it's not that serious. If he is a piece of mud, why can't all the lakes reach the wall? Who can blame him?"
Cui Jie quietly tugged at him and rolled her eyes at him: "Husband, please speak properly when you are serious."
"Ahem, anyway, don't say anything, it's all in the wine." Li Qinzai patted Old Wei on the shoulder and said.
Cui Jie sighed, expecting her husband to speak serious words, but she might never see him again in this life.
So Cui Jie bowed to old Wei Yingying and said: "Uncle Wei, I'm sorry. Since Qiao'er has become a disciple of Uncle Wei, he is an official disciple. We, the Li family, will make up for it later. As for Uncle Wei,
From now on, he is not only the bodyguard of the Li family, but also the worshiper of the Li family."
Old Wei was so moved that his hands and feet were trembling. The appearance of Parkinson's disease occurring prematurely made Li Qinzai uncontrollably worried. If this happened next and he rolled his eyes, he would have just gone to the mountain to find a Feng Shui treasure to bury his master.
Is the pace a bit fast?
Old Wei said in a trembling voice: "The Li family...consecrates?"
Cui Jie nodded affirmatively: "Qiao'er is my husband's eldest son, and he has been granted the title of Captain of Light Vehicles by His Majesty. Only those who are worshiped by the Li family are qualified to teach martial arts. Uncle Wei is very capable, so I will condescend you to be a worshipper."
Lao Wei's Parkinson's disease became more and more serious, and his face turned red.
Guarding and worshiping are not the same nature, worshiping is a lifelong profession.
In other words, from today on, whether Lao Wei is born, old, sick or dead, he will be worshiped by the Li family. In the future, when he is too old to move, the Li family will also pay monthly salary. As long as the Li family does not collapse, the descendants of Lao Wei will be able to live in the Li family.
The house is in bad shape.
It can be said that the enshrinement of a powerful family is equivalent to the civilian version of a title, an iron rice bowl for generations to come.
"Old man... thank you, Fifth Young Master, Young Madam." Old Wei's knees weakened in excitement, and just as he was about to prostrate himself, Li Qinzai held his arm.
"Isn't it just an offering? Be more reserved, both disciples are watching." Li Qinzai reminded in a low voice.
Old Wei hurriedly said: "Yes, thank you later, old man."
Li Qinzai said with a smile: "I hope that when Qiao'er grows up, he will beat the dandies in Chang'an City to pieces. At that time, Qiao'er will have done so many evil things that it's hard to describe. What a glory Old Wei will be as a master..."
Old Wei was dumbfounded, and Cui Jie was so angry that she pinched him hard: "Husband, can't you say something nice? If Qiao'er really becomes that virtuous when he grows up, it will be the biggest failure of our lives."
But Li Qinzai said indifferently: "His father is not a good person. Do you expect his son to become a sage? If you want to avoid being bullied, you must first be a bad person. Only the reputation of a bad person is the best self-defense."
Everyone returned to the other courtyard. Cui Jie prepared two generous gifts and took Li Qinzai to the door of Old Wei's house. In front of the farmers and villagers, Li Qinzai solemnly presented the generous gifts. Princess Yiyang and Qiao'er also went there again.
The apprenticeship ceremony was held.
So Yiyang and Qiaoer officially became Lao Wei's disciples. Yiyang had a special status and was only a registered disciple.
With Lao Wei teaching Qiao'er martial arts, Li Qinzai was relieved. Although he himself had no interest in martial arts and was sure he didn't have the patience, he still hoped that Qiao'er could master some martial arts and wait until he grows up.
When I was older, I knew that having martial arts skills by my side was definitely not a bad thing.
No one dares to predict what the future will bring. After all, power and money are external things, but ability is truly in one's own hands.
If the worst happens, and one day in the future the Li family collapses, Li Qinzai is gone, and the Li family members are forced to go into exile, Qiao'er will at least have the ability to save his life.
Even if there are no financial expenses on the way to exile, he can still set up a stall on the spot and perform performances such as crushing boulders with his chest, grinding stones with iron chickens, etc., and raise funds through crowdfunding to raise some travel expenses, and maybe he will be favored by a rich woman.
