The apprenticeship ceremony in Taixi Mountain is very simple.
I knelt on the soft cushion and kowtowed three times to Master respectfully. Master put down the tea cup and said very kindly: "Xiao Twelve, since your daughter's family has entered my Taixi Mountain, I don't ask you for help."
If you are good at learning, as long as you can live a happy life and marry a good man in the future, you will be satisfied as a teacher..."
I lowered my head and replied in a low voice: "Yes."
Humph, I, Ye Rongwen, can write scripts and use slingshots in martial arts. This master has underestimated me!
"Yes." Master nodded with great satisfaction, turned around and ordered Brother Ten, "Xiao Shi'er, later you can carry the yellow jade longevity star on my case to Xiao Twelve's room to add blessings to Xiao Twelve.
.”
"Thank you, Master." I bowed to Master and said respectfully.
Huh, I know how to give greeting gifts. This master knows some etiquette, so I won’t argue with him this time.
Master also ordered me to serve tea to senior brothers six to eleven one by one, and this ceremony of apprenticeship was completed.
Finally, Senior Brother Ten invited me to sit on the empty red sandalwood chair next to him.
As soon as I sat down, Master announced two things to us:
The first one is that senior brothers from the sixth to eighth grades have accomplished their studies and will go down the mountain and return home on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month;
Secondly, starting from tomorrow, all my daily life will be taken care of by Senior Brother Eleven.
When they heard about these two important events, the sixth to eleventh senior fellow apprentices all looked gloomy and remained silent for a long time before they all stood up, bowed to their master and said goodbye.
I saw all the brothers getting up, but I couldn't sit still for long, so I got up too.
"Xiao Twelve," Master looked at me with a smile, and Jinbei said calmly, "You stay."
Hearing Master call my name, all my six to ten senior brothers wiped away their gloomy expressions and showed gloating smiles.
As for my eleventh senior brother in white robes and plain fan, I don't know if he remembered something or had some evil spirit. He slowly turned his head and stared at me inexplicably for a while, then said nothing.
Crossed the threshold and left the Hermitage.
How could I, a reclusive lady, have been looked at like this by a man next to me? Therefore, his look made my face feel hot, and my heart felt like weeds had grown out, making it a mess.
I quickly lowered my head to hide my expression.
The master had a keen eye, and maybe he saw my appearance. He slightly curled his lips, lowered his head and picked up the tea cup, and continued to use the cup lid to brush the two tea leaves.
Since entering Taixi Mountain, this is the first time that I have been so clear-headed with Master. Therefore, I feel a little uneasy in my heart, that is, I am afraid that during those days when I was ill, I may have shown some bad appearance, which will cause me to suffer.
The master looked at it, but he was afraid that the master had already learned about my jasper slingshot from the brothers and wanted to take away my sweetheart.
With this thought in my mind, I quickly gathered my thoughts, gathered my emotions, and prepared to show my most dignified and elegant smile.
After a while, I secretly raised my head, and Master was still looking at my face with a smile:
"Xiao Twelve, when your father and brother sent you to my Taixi Mountain half a year ago, you were still a living dead. You could only lie down and almost forgot to eat and drink. Now, relying on the medical skills you have spent half your life as a teacher, you are
I am very happy to be able to be alive and kicking." The master paused and took the tea cup made by the official kiln from the coffee table, depicting the green bamboo after the rain.
"But Xiao Twelve, you have to know that my Taixi Mountain will never raise useless idlers. Therefore, from tomorrow onwards, you will bathe in the life-saving velvet grass every day, and you will have to go to the back mountain by yourself."
Pick it!" The master gently opened the two tea leaves with the cup lid, took a slow sip, and looked up at me with a smile.
Is this the Master who is called by the world to have supreme moral character and extremely noble sentiments? I was slightly confused, the smile on my face did not change, but my heart was already turned upside down:
Do I, Ye Rong, still have to work if I only have half my life left?
How could he order me around so easily?
How could his tone be so cheerful?
How could he look so relaxed?
he……
Thinking about it, the grievances I have suffered in the past six months, worries about the future, and fear of death all came to my mind, making me completely forget about the demeanor and magnanimity that a lady should have. This apprenticeship ceremony in Taixi Mountain was very special.
It's crude.
I knelt on the soft cushion and kowtowed three times to Master respectfully. Master put down the tea cup and said very kindly: "Xiao Twelve, since your daughter's family has entered my Taixi Mountain, I don't ask you for help."
