Two days later, people from the Hou Mansion came to invite Liu Feng, Qin Tian, and Lin Chuan to the house for a banquet.
"It seems that the family has reconciled and now they want to thank us." Qin Tian said.
"That's for sure. We are a family after all. There is no obstacle that a family cannot overcome. As long as the family ties are still there, we will return to the family sooner or later." Liu Feng said.
"You're right, let's go, let's go together. After all, we have a share of the credit, haha!" Lin Chuan said.
So the master, apprentice and uncle came to the Hou Mansion together.
The dinner was very sumptuous, everyone exchanged glasses, it was so lively!
During the banquet, Hou Baoyi raised his glass and said: "Our Hou family really wants to thank you for your help this time. Without you, we two brothers would not have had the opportunity to reconcile, and the reputation of Baozhengtang would not have been so unscathed. Really
Thank you very much for all your help!"
"You're welcome, you're welcome, we are just doing something with a little effort, no need to worry about it," Liu Feng said.
"Thank you for giving me the opportunity to find my way back. I'd like to toast you and do it first as a token of respect!" Hou Baoyi's brother said.
"Thank you for saving my husband!" an unknown woman raised her glass and said.
It turns out that this is Hou Baoyi's sister-in-law. Although she was beaten away by Hou Baoyi's brother before, Hou Baoyi has been helping her, and now he has sent someone to persuade her to come back, so that the family can live together again.
, Hou Baoyi's younger brother is even more grateful to his eldest brother.
"Thank you for helping my sister's family reunite, and now you have helped my husband's family reunite. Our whole family is grateful for your help. This kindness cannot be expressed in words, and it is all in this glass of wine." Lan Yi said.
"You are so polite, no need to thank you, it's all fate, it's all fate! In fact, we didn't do anything, so don't take it to heart. But we came here to eat and live, so we bothered you!"
Qin Tian said.
"Yes, you're welcome. We are all our own people, so there is no need to be so polite," Lin Chuan said.
"Well said, I respect you three! We will all be a family from now on," Hou Baoyi said.
"Father, I want to take Liu Feng as my disciple, but I don't know if Liu Feng is willing to accept me as his disciple." Hou Xuewen said.
"You have to ask Liu Feng himself about this," Hou Baoyi said.
"Master Liu, are you willing to accept me as your apprentice? I admire you very much. Since I was a child, I have been thinking that if one day I want to take someone as my disciple, I must find someone with both civil and military skills like you."
Xuewen said.
"When you say this, I almost don't recognize myself." Liu Feng said, "How can I be so good? I don't dare to take it seriously when you say that."
"My apprentice is going to become a master, so don't I become a master?" Qin Tian said.
"Hello, Master!" Hou Xuewen said to Qin Tian.
"Oh, this kid is too sweet. Liu Feng, please accept this disciple as soon as possible. He even calls him Master." Qin Tian said.
"Then what do you want me to be called?" Lin Chuan also became confused.
"Hello, uncle!" Hou Xuewen said.
"Hahaha, I didn't expect that I would become my uncle." Lin Chuan was so happy that he couldn't help but smile from ear to ear.
"Well, since your master and master-uncle have both recognized me, I, the master, have no choice but to recognize you as my apprentice. But being my apprentice is not an easy task. You have to pass my assessment first."
"Master, what test are you talking about? I will definitely pass it," Hou Xuewen said.
"In three days, I will give you three hundred taels of silver. You have to spend them all in the way you think is most appropriate. Then I will come and give you a review. If the review is not up to standard, it will not be considered official.
To recruit a disciple, you must pass the review to be considered as my Liu Feng's disciple." Liu Feng said.
"Are there any conditions?" Hou Xuewen said.
"One hundred taels will be spent in three times. The requirements for the three times are to spend the most generously, spend the most value for money, and spend the warmest money. These are my requirements. You understand it yourself." Liu Feng said.
"Okay, master, I understand."
In the next few days, Hou Xuewen went out early and came back late, taking one hundred taels of silver with him to spend every day.
On the fourth day, Liu Feng came to see him. It was time to accept the results of his money. Everyone was sweating for him. How to spend money can be considered a luxury, and how to spend money can be considered worthwhile.
, how can you spend money and still be considered warm?
Hou Xuewen talked about how he spent the three hundred taels of silver.
On the first day, he exchanged one hundred taels of silver for gold powder and sprinkled it from Zuihua Tower. Passers-by said it was too luxurious.
The next day he gave one hundred taels of silver to the beggar on the roadside. He felt that this was the best value for money.
On the third day, he spent one hundred taels of silver to buy everyone's favorite snacks and everyone's favorite clothes for his mother, sister and father. He felt that this was the warmest way.
Hou Xuewen told everyone how he spent his money in the past three days and the reasons why he spent it this way.
After hearing this, everyone praised him one after another. Liu Feng also felt that this apprentice was not easy, and he actually did everything he asked.
"Not bad, not bad. It seems that you are quite smart. You have indeed spent the money in the most lavish, value-for-money and warmest way. Okay, I can accept you as my apprentice today. Why don't you hurry up and serve tea to the master?"
?”
Liu Feng said.
When Hou Xuewen heard this, he quickly went to pour tea and gave Liu Feng the apprenticeship ceremony. Liu Feng took his tea, took a sip, and helped him up. Everyone congratulated them and applauded them.
Unexpectedly, he actually accepted a disciple here, and Liu Feng felt a little excited.
Qin Tian and Lin Chuan were even more excited. Both of them had upgraded, and they were so happy that they went to have a drink together. You had a glass of wine and I had a glass of wine. It was so enjoyable.
"Master, uncle, please don't get drunk." Liu Feng said.
"It's okay. It's rare to be happy. Just leave us alone and let us have a drink happily." The two of them said.
Liu Feng thought to himself that since he accepted him as his apprentice, he should first give him a good moral education class. A person can live a stable life based on morality. He can't do without morality.
If he becomes a talented but ungrateful person in the future, he will not be worthy of being his master. Therefore, these three tests he gave to his apprentices are also based on this consideration.
Hou Xuewen did a good job, he was very smart, and he was the type that Liu Feng liked. Because they accepted this apprentice, Liu Feng and the others would not be able to leave the Hou Mansion for a while, so they had to live here.
Sun Yin would come to visit everyone every day, talk to everyone, and then go to play with Xue Xin. Here she finally found her home.
This time Liu Feng accepted Hou Xuewen as his apprentice. Apart from Hou Xuewen, the happiest person was probably Sun Yin. She felt that this way, the relationship between Liu Feng and herself became closer.
