As soon as Li Qiu finished speaking, you could hear a pin drop in the hall.
Yunlin, Zhang Changgui and others looked confused, not understanding what Li Qiu meant.
Why did he ask Yunjing inexplicably if he had any words?
What are words?
Yun Jing was slightly stunned. Looking at Li Qiu, two words suddenly popped into his mind, it's done!
When he asked himself if he had any words, it was not just a matter of words, but a very intuitive expression of his intention to accept him as his disciple. He just asked him if he would like to become my disciple.
Yun Jing vaguely remembers that the word is usually given by an elder or a mentor. It is not just a title or a nickname, it often also carries the high hopes of the elders and their own will. It can even be said that,
Words are more important than names in some situations!
Although he didn't understand the process of apprenticeship, Yunjing could probably guess that he expressed it in such a euphemistic way because he was probably taking the scholar's face into consideration. He couldn't directly ask Yunjing if he wanted to become his apprentice.
If Yunjing is ignorant and says that he doesn't want to see anyone anymore, he doesn't know where he will lose his face.
At this time, Yun Jing stood up, and with Li Qiu's slightly encouraging eyes, he took two steps forward, bent down and saluted, "Sir, please give me the words."
Why did I ask the gentleman to give me my words instead of asking him to accept me as his disciple? This is not to say that Yunjing should be pretentious, but this is the most correct approach.
If he asks the other party to accept him as his disciple as soon as he comes, it will inevitably give people a bad impression of being eager for quick success.
Sure enough, Li Qiu was very satisfied with Yunjing's performance. A hint of approval flashed in his eyes. He smiled and said: "Don't be in a hurry to give me the word. You are still young and it is too early. In the future, you will be able to obtain fame or tie your hair and crown."
Let’s talk about it later, now I ask you, are you willing to worship me as your teacher?”
The word is the high hope that an elder or mentor has for the younger generation. When Yunjing asks Li Qiu to give him a word, it is regarded as acknowledging his identity as an elder. In this way, it will not seem abrupt for Li Qiu to directly ask him if he is willing to become a disciple.
Even if Yunjing says he doesn't want to, it's just the junior's ignorance and he won't lose face.
"Yes, I will pay my respects to my master."
Under Li Qiu's encouraging eyes, Yunjing knelt down on his knees and kowtowed three times respectfully.
Kneel down to heaven, kneel to ground, and kneel to your parents and mentors. This is the right thing to do.
After Li Qiu calmly withstood Yun Jing's three nods, he stood up and took two steps forward to help Yun Jing up and said cheerfully: "Okay, now you accept me as your teacher, and you will teach me carefully in the future. Come on, good disciple."
Son, let me take a good look at it."
After receiving Yun Jing's great gift and personally admitting it, the master-disciple relationship between Li Qiu and Yun Jing was decided. Even if there were no guests to witness, from now on, Yun Jing could still bear the name of Li Qiu's disciple when he went out.
.
Li Qiu carefully looked at the cloud scene in front of him. Even though he looked ordinary, Li Qiu became more and more satisfied and happy as he looked at it.
Yunjing is his first disciple and the only one at present. The meaning is different. It means that from now on, he, Li Qiu, will also have the mantle passed down, and his will and expectations will also be passed down.
Looking at Master Li Qiu in front of him, Yunjing was filled with emotions. This bow not only meant that his destiny would change from now on, but it could also be said to be tied to Li Qiu's future life.
All lose!
Now that I worship him as my teacher, I seem to be able to enjoy countless benefits, but I still have to shoulder the responsibilities and obligations of being a disciple. I can't say I'm taking advantage, nor can I say I'm suffering a disadvantage.
In general, there are only advantages and no disadvantages to Yunjing at the moment...
At this moment, Zhang Changgui, Yunlin and others beside them were confused. Looking at Li Qiu and Yunjing, they couldn't turn their heads.
Aren't you still taking exams? Why did you become a disciple?
Huh?
Become a disciple!
When Yunlin Yunshan realized this, his face turned red with excitement, as if he was in a dream.
From now on, this means that his Yun family, no, the entire Xiaoxi Village, will finally have a scholar!
They were so excited by this huge surprise that they were speechless, as if they were drunk and couldn't tell the difference between north and south.
After Zhang Changgui came to his senses for a moment, he felt a little unbelievable and proud at the same time. After all, it was his matchmaking that facilitated this. No matter what, he also had a romantic relationship. He didn't dare to think about the advantages, but there were absolutely no disadvantages.
That’s it.
He looked at Yunlin Yunshan with envy and said, "Uncle Lin, Brother Shan, congratulations to you." Then he looked at Li Qiu and said, "Congratulations to Mr. Li for getting a good disciple."
Li Qiu looked at him and nodded, feeling that he was the matchmaker who was able to accept Yunjing as his disciple. He thought about it and said: "Brother Changgui, today I accept Xiaojing as my disciple. The name has been decided. Ten days later
, I will prepare a banquet at Xiaolin House in the town, invite relatives and friends to come and witness, and officially accept Xiaojing as my disciple. You can come and watch the ceremony then."
Hearing this, Zhang Changgui stared slightly and was almost incoherent with excitement. He took a deep breath and said, "Thank you, Mr. Li, for the invitation. I will definitely go there then."
How could he not be excited? The people Li Qiu knew were not ordinary people to him. Those who attended formal occasions such as accepting Yunjing as his disciple would all have status. He would even just sit in the corner.
Showing his face and seeing it is enough for him to brag about for a lifetime. Although it is a bit unrealistic, if he can make one or two people there, his destiny will change drastically!
To put it bluntly, Li Qiu asked him to attend the ceremony to give him a chance. Whether he could grasp it or not was up to him.
At this moment, Yunshan was the first to react. In his excitement, he said to Yun Lin beside him: "Dad, dad, where is the gift?"
"Oh, yes." Yun Lin suddenly realized, looking around, then walked quickly to the door, picked up the bacon eggs and a big rooster that he had brought there, walked to Li Qiu and said with some restraint: "Mr. Li
"This is my Xiaojing's apprenticeship ceremony. We don't understand this, so please don't mind."
To be honest, after seeing the luxurious courtyard of Li Qiu's family, Yunlin felt that he couldn't handle the things he brought. But he still had to give the apprenticeship gift, so he had to bite the bullet. The gift was too shabby, and he
I even blushed with embarrassment.
Li Qiu didn't mind, but took it with his own hands and put it aside with a smile: "Uncle Lin, please don't do this. Since this is your disciple's wish, I will accept it."
Scholars are the most disciplined people. Since he accepted Yunjing as his disciple, and Yunlin was Yunjing's grandfather, Li Qiu naturally resigned himself to the next generation without any pretense.
Seeing that he not only did not dislike it but accepted it with his own hands, Yunlin breathed a sigh of relief. Then he looked at Yun Jing standing next to Li Qiu and couldn't help but smile on his face. His grandson was about to become a scholar.
It’s truly an ancestor’s blessing.
Next, under Li Qiu's signal, all parties sat down again. After some pleasantries, Li Qiu looked at Yun Jing and thought for a while and said: "Disciple, I won't keep you here as my master today. You can go back for now. Ten days later
Again, at that time, in the presence of the guests, I formally worshiped me as my teacher. Although my teacher is just a commoner now, recruiting disciples is a big deal. Naturally, I won't do it quietly. You are my only disciple at the moment. When the time comes,
I will take you to meet my relatives and friends.”
"Disciple, follow the master's instructions," Yun Jing said respectfully.
Nodding, Li Qiu added: "You have to be mentally prepared. After you come here next time, you won't have to go back for a short time. You need to stay with me as a teacher so that I can teach you. Well, you don't need to prepare anything, food and clothing.
Accommodation, writing and books will be arranged for you by the teacher.”
Although he had long expected many conveniences after becoming a master, Yun Jing was still a little unbelievable after Li Qiu said it himself. The master-disciple relationship in this era is truly beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
"Thank you, Master," Yunjing thanked him from the bottom of his heart.
Smiling and shaking his head, Li Qiu said: "These are all things a teacher should do, they don't count. From now on, you just have to study with peace of mind and don't live up to my expectations of you. It's the greatest benefit to you as a teacher that you succeed in your studies."
