Chapter 856 How about the gift from the Prince Yong's Mansion?
Then he opened some oil paper at the bottom, and just as Ma Qi thought, he had gathered all the six rites.
Wrapped with celery, lotus seeds, red beans, red dates and longan.
They are all foods with beautiful meanings.
Speaking of which, the Fourth Master and Si Fujin really paid enough attention to them.
When giving gifts to noble families, the servants around them draw up a list of gifts, and the master only needs to make slight additions or subtractions.
Now it seems that these gifts were not prepared by the slaves. I believe that no servant of the palace would dare to give such things. This must have been carefully ordered by the master.
How many years has it been since you received such a thoughtful gift?
Ma Qi couldn't help feeling a little sad.
Before talking about it, he had thought that if the fourth master tried to win over him in the future, no matter what he gave, he would not accept it.
But these things in front of him made him unable to refuse.
The image of a family of three standing at the door reappeared in his mind. He couldn't help but smile.
The look of this family of three standing together really makes people feel comfortable.
Then he opened the remaining oil paper packets.
Two piles of exquisite snacks, two piles of crispy meat jerky, two piles of fine tribute tea, and two piles of nuts.
There is no exception, except for food and drink.
The Yongjun Prince's Palace prepared gifts really well.
Reporter Ma Qi casually grabbed a handful of almonds, stuffed one into his mouth and pointed to the boy next to him: "It's all wrapped up."
Xiao Si was also puzzled at this moment. He could follow Ma Qi, so he was naturally a bit gorgeous. At least many of the things in here were really not easy to buy.
But the Prince of Yong County only gave these things, which is really not a good thing.
What I don't understand even more is why such a gift has won the favor of my own adults.
Looking at the adults, they seem to care about these gifts.
It's really puzzling.
After three times, three times, five times and two times, all the grease was wrapped up, and it was restored to its original shape. Then Ma Qi said: "Look, Master Zhang's vehicle is still in front of us?"
"Come back to me, sir, we are not far away."
Ma Qi nodded and said, "Follow us and walk side by side. I'll have a few words with Mr. Zhang."
At this time, the road was built wider and the carriage drove smoothly to the side of Zhang Ying's carriage.
"Master Zhang, can you take a rest? Can I have a few words with you, sir?"
Ma Qi lifted the curtain, pulled his neck and shouted.
Zhang Ying was sitting alone in the car with her eyes closed and concentrating, but she was suddenly startled by his loud voice, and her eyebrows wrinkled slightly.
I wonder what Ma Qi is going to do?
Now these two carriages are walking side by side, making it difficult for people to ignore them.
What he wanted to say to himself, couldn't he stop the carriage and find a place to talk slowly?
Do you have to shout at your neck in front of a large crowd?
Sure enough, no matter how prominent the Fucha family was, they could not change the vulgar habits of military officers.
However, Zhang Ying finally opened the car curtain and asked, "Master Fucha, do you have any advice?"
He wanted to see what medicine Ma Qi was selling in his gourd.
When Ma Qi saw Zhang Ying, he smiled and said, "Look at what you said, Mr. Zhang, I don't dare to take advice seriously.
I just want to talk about our two young apprentices."
Zhang Ying's expression remained unchanged: "Oh? What do you think, Mr. Fucha?"
Ma Qi's smile deepened a little: "I don't take it seriously. It's just that we two teach the same person, so we should divide the work.
Lest you and I have different opinions and confuse the disciple."
Hearing what Ma Qi said, Zhang Ying's expression softened slightly: "What Mr. Fucha said is very reasonable. We really should discuss this matter. If Mr. Fucha has any suggestions? Please feel free to enlighten me."
"Xiaoguan, I really have some foolish opinions. To say that if you want to serve the court better, both civil and military skills are very important.
You and I might as well be both civil and military.
You teach literary skills, and I teach martial arts, so we don’t get in the way of each other!
What do you think, sir?"
Zhang Ying nodded when he heard this: "That's very good."
Zhang Ying actually had this idea before. Although Ma Qi was also a bachelor of Wuying Palace, Zhang Ying felt that maybe he was inferior to him in some aspects.
It’s not about knowledge, it’s about experience.
Ma Qi was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, while he himself was a student from a poor family and got to where he is today step by step.
It can be said that I have seen all kinds of life.
My little brother was also born with a silver spoon in his mouth. If Wen is taught by himself, I'm afraid it will be more beneficial academically.
Ma Qi came from a family of military commanders, so he would be like a fish in water if he came to teach martial arts.
"That's it, then we've decided. From now on, I wonder if little brother's literary skills are better than his martial arts, or whether his martial arts is better than his literary skills?"
Ma Qi said, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, and he looked very aggressive.
Zhang Ying didn't hesitate at all, looked into Ma Qi's eyes, and said with a smile: "Then it depends on the abilities of you and me!"
After looking at each other like this for a while, the two suddenly laughed again.
"There is a bend ahead. Master Zhang, please go ahead with your carriage."
Ma Qi glanced at the road ahead, then smiled.
Zhang Ying hugged him and hugged his fists, and then wanted to lower the curtain, but then Ma Qi said: "By the way, what do you think, Mr. Zhang, of the gift from Yongjun Prince's Palace?"
Zhang Ying was stunned by these words, and there was a hint of confusion in his expression.
Ma Qi knew it as soon as he saw him like this, probably because he hadn't seen the gift yet, so he smiled and waved his hand: "Just say it casually, adults don't need to care."
Then he lowered the curtain and the carriage slowed down.
Zhang Ying felt that she was asking a question without a clue. After lowering the car curtain, her eyes unconsciously focused on the gift.
Thinking of Ma Qi's abnormality, Zhang Ying opened the gift as well.
He was also a little surprised. No wonder Ma Qi would ask that. He smiled and shook his head: "It seems that I am going to prepare a return gift for this young apprentice."
So, in the evening of that day, Fourth Master received gifts in return from Zhang Ying and Ma Qi.
Looking at the two people's return gifts in front of him, the fourth master couldn't laugh or cry for a moment.
The gifts from both families were all celery, green onions and the like.
This incident was a result of the apprenticeship ceremony that happened by accident.
Fujin was a little childish, but unexpectedly the two adults didn't mind it and started acting childish too.
How could a wealthy family use something like this to perform a apprenticeship ceremony?
"Sir, is this the ceremony for becoming a disciple now?" Chu Yu looked at these green vegetables with great interest.
The Fourth Master nodded subconsciously, then shook his head.
Chu Yu pouted: "You are nodding and shaking your head, are you yes or no?"
At this moment, Pangpang also raised his head to look at Fourth Master, who seemed to be more interested in these things.
The fourth master immediately scratched Chu Yu's nose: "Why are you so short-tempered?
