These three people, two men and one woman, all looked like they were not ordinary people by the looks of their clothes, and at least they were of modest means.
The three of them came uninvited. The young master at the head stepped forward with a look of expectation in his eyes. Before he could speak, Lu Hanjiang asked: "You guys have been following us a few streets down, but something happened?"
Yongle also raised his head and looked at a few people, and seemed to have some impression. Just when they were at the edge of the ring, these people carefully listened to Lu Hanjiang's comments on the three competitions from beginning to end.
The three people looked at each other, and the leader raised his hands and said: "Excuse me, you, we are all martial people. I just heard your remarks and knew that you are very human, and I admire you very much, so I was rude and followed you." .”
"A martial man?"
Lu Hanjiang glanced at the three of them: "You don't seem to know any martial arts."
Several people showed embarrassment, but the leader still said: "Although we are good at martial arts, we have never met a famous teacher to teach us, so..."
"Sit down first."
After Lu Hanjiang invited the three of them to sit down, he asked: "Since you want to learn martial arts, why don't you go to a martial arts gym? The master from the Changsheng Martial Arts Gym on the stage just now also has good martial arts skills."
Several people hesitated a little when they heard the words, and another young master said: "Although we are not proficient in martial arts, we have heard what a real martial arts master looks like. That Master Chu only knows some fists and kicks, how can he be called such a master?" 'Famous teacher'."
"I see."
Lu Hanjiang chuckled, such young people are not uncommon in the arena. After listening to a few storytellers, they have fantasies about the masters of the arena. They don't want to put in much effort and just want to reach the sky in one step. They are so lofty and ambitious, nothing more than this.
"In that case, why are you here looking for me?" Lu Hanjiang pretended not to know and asked calmly.
Several people hesitated for a moment, and then the woman said: "Your Excellency is well-informed. You can see through the martial arts of the people in the ring at a glance. It seems that the martial arts of those people are not taken seriously by you. Their actions are not like those in the countryside." I dare to ask, where did you come from?"
"Nature comes from where it comes from."
Lu Hanjiang smiled playfully, drank all the tea in the cup, and pulled Yongle to stand up and leave: "Everyone, farewell."
The three people didn't expect Lu Hanjiang to leave immediately, and they were confused immediately. The leader was the first to chase him out and stopped him: "Your Excellency, wait a minute!"
Lu Hanjiang turned around and said, "Master, what else do you want?"
The man suddenly bowed his head to the end and said in a deep voice: "Your Excellency...I sincerely ask you, senior, to accept me as your disciple!"
This shocked all the guests in the teahouse. Someone immediately recognized the man's identity and exclaimed: "Isn't that the second son of Shopkeeper Zhou of Wanhua House?"
"There is also Mr. Shan from the carriage shop, and the eldest lady from Master Xu from the school are also here."
These three people all came from well-known families in Changxing County. The guests at the teahouse recognized them immediately, but why did Mr. Zhou call a young man senior.
Yongle seemed a little uncomfortable being watched by a crowd of people. Lu Hanjiang looked at the Zhou family master who was bowing his head calmly and said: "Master, what do you mean? You and I are similar in age, seniors can't afford this."
"When it comes to martial arts, those who have mastered it are the teachers. The martial arts of our seniors far surpass ours, so they naturally deserve this honorific title."
Mr. Zhou seemed to have determined something. He kept his head lowered and said in a deep voice: "Junior sincerely wants to learn martial arts. Please accept me as your disciple!"
The other two people also came to their senses and came forward to salute together: "Senior, please accept us as your disciples!"
This scene made the guests in the tea house stunned. Lu Hanjiang smiled slightly: "The rules of the master are strict, please don't force me."
After saying that, he led Yongle to continue going downstairs, but the word "Master" made the three people's eyes light up. The young master of the Zhou family crossed Lu Hanjiang in a few steps and blocked him at the entrance of the stairs.
Mr. Zhou gritted his teeth, bent his knees, and immediately knelt down: "Senior! We are sincere in learning the art, please accept us, senior!"
The other two people also knelt down, one on the left and the other on the right, blocking the road. The people in the tea house had been stunned for a long time. They had not seen such a strange scene in more than ten years.
Yongle was also shocked, and Lu Hanjiang said helplessly: "I can't bear such a big gift. Please get up quickly."
"Senior!" Mr. Zhou took two steps forward, and his words were rather rogue: "Senior, if you don't agree, I won't get up!"
"Yes, if senior doesn't agree, we'll have to kneel here today." Another person also helped.
Lu Hanjiang raised his head and let out a helpless sigh, and said: "Since you are so sincere and we are destined to meet each other, it would be a bit unkind for me to refuse again. Anyway, if you can pass my three tests, I will
I will make an exception to accept you."
Several people were overjoyed when they heard this, and immediately said loudly: "Thank you, senior!"
Now that Lu Hanjiang had relented, several people stood up and moved out of the way. He took Yongle to a random spot on the first floor and sat down. Several people came forward and lowered their heads, as if they were respectfully listening to the instructions.
The movement just now disturbed many people. At this time, many people had gathered inside and outside the teahouse. Everyone was holding their breath and waiting for Lu Hanjiang's "three tests".
Lu Hanjiang didn't show off, and went straight to the first test: "My first test is that if you want to become a disciple, you must first pay fifty taels of silver."
"this......"
Several people were stunned, not only them, but also the onlookers around them were stunned.
It is not a new thing to say that paying money to become a disciple is nothing new. Most people who join martial arts schools or general sects will also pay a fee, but this amount of money is never written in black and white, and most of them are
It is very rare for an apprentice to propose on his own initiative and hand it over in secret. It is very rare for someone like Lu Hanjiang to take the initiative to speak up and do so in front of everyone.
Immediately, some people clamored that this person was a liar. After all, in the eyes of everyone, these knights and knights were all heroes who regarded money as dirt. How could anyone talk about money as soon as they came up?
If his character is not good, his martial arts skills are definitely not good either. He is probably a liar.
In response to the heated discussion among the people, Lu Hanjiang did not comment. He glanced at the three people who looked hesitant, and immediately stood up to leave: "Even the Buddha does not save poor people, so naturally my martial arts will not be taught to poor people. I have already told you about the content of the test.
Listen, it’s not my fault if you can’t pass, so just don’t pass.”
After saying that, he pulled Yongle to leave. Young Master Zhou panicked when he saw this. He stopped hesitating and said immediately: "Senior, wait a minute! I left in a hurry today and didn't bring enough silver with me. Please allow me to go home.
Go get it."
Now the people in the teahouse were even more shocked. Fifty taels is not a small amount. Most of the people drinking tea here will probably never see such a large amount of money in their entire lives. Just because of these casual words from Lu Hanjiang,
Young Master Zhou actually believed it this week and was really planning to go back to get the money? This is simply ridiculous.
After Lu Hanjiang left a message to meet him here tomorrow, he led Yongle back.
The three of them were left to be pointed at by everyone. Miss Xu was a bit thin-skinned. Seeing that there were many people here, she asked to change places. They left the teahouse and reached the corner of the street. She asked in a low voice: "Brother Zhou, is that person really a Jianghu person?"
Are you a hero? Why do you say..."
Another Mr. Shan also hesitated and said: "Yes, I heard people say that the hero is never short of money and doesn't care about money. Is he deliberately playing tricks on us?"
But after careful consideration, Mr. Zhou said: "I don't think so. Masters in the world have weird temperaments. Since he has set a test, he will not deliberately embarrass us. Although he is asking for silver, fifty taels is not enough for us.
It’s not that he can’t take action, so this is not deliberately making things difficult. I guess he is testing our sincerity and eyesight this time!”
After hearing this, the other two people were convinced and said in unison: "Brother Zhou can understand clearly."
