Chapter 7 Etiquette "Master Guo, everything is ready."
A respected old man said to Guo Wei.
"it is good."
Guo Wei coughed dryly, straightened his chest, and sat on the Taishi chair.
"The apprenticeship ceremony begins, and the two beloved disciples serve tea to Master Guo."
the old man shouted.
Everyone fell silent and watched Heihu and Chu Linguang come to Guo Wei together. They each held a pot of tea, and with a bang, they knelt down in front of Guo Wei.
"Master, please drink tea!"
The two said in unison.
Guo Wei nodded, first took Heihu's tea, took a sip, and returned the teapot to Heihu. Then he picked up the teapot in Chu Linguang's hand, took a sip, and handed it back to Chu Linguang.
"kowtow!"
The old man shouted again.
"Bang bang bang!"
Both Chu Linguang and Hei Hu kowtowed to Guo Wei three times. The Yuan Dynasty attached great importance to the etiquette relationship between master and apprentice. Guo Wei drank the tea offered by Chu Linguang and Hei Hu, and accepted the kowtows from Chu Linguang and Hei Hu. From then on, he would The skills he learned were taught to Chu Linguang and Heihu sincerely. If they hide their secrets in the martial arts world, they will be scorned by others.
Similarly, after Chu Linguang and Heihu complete their studies, they will support Guo Wei, let Guo Wei enjoy his old age, and at the same time maintain the reputation of the school. If Guo Wei is unfortunate in his later years and the school suffers, they will turn a blind eye and be cast aside by others, and even find it difficult to find success in officialdom and the world. Get a foothold.
"Two good disciples, this is my teacher's kindness."
Guo Wei prepared a red envelope for both Heihu and Chu Linguang.
Chu Linguang touched the copper plate and two lumps, and he was shocked. Guo Wei actually refunded the two people's tuition fees for a year.
A full two taels of silver and three large coins were enough for him to live for several years.
"I worshiped under Master today and learned a skill that will be with me every day. It will travel around the world every day and will definitely make Master famous. I will live up to Master's teachings. If the martial arts entrance examination is high school next year, no matter where the disciple is, Master only needs a letter from home." , all over the world, even if we are thousands of miles apart, our disciples will arrive overnight and we will never let anyone deceive the Guo family even a hair."
After receiving the red envelope, Heihu knelt down again, facing Guo Wei and said in a loud and emotional voice.
Chu Linguang screamed inwardly. These words were obviously prepared by Heihu in advance. He graduated from junior high school in his previous life and was a pariah in this life, so he did not have such literary talent.
But if he stood there stupidly at this time, he would make the guests laugh, and Guo Wei would lose face.
"boom!"
So Chu Linguang quickly knelt on the ground and said seriously to Guo Wei: "Me too!"
"Okay, okay! I really saw you right, master, get up quickly!"
Guo Wei's eyes filled with tears. He held the shoulders of Heihu and Chu Linguang with both hands and pulled them up from the ground.
"Congratulations to Master Guo for accepting two more apprentices."
"Master Guo is blessed. These two disciples will definitely pass the martial arts exam in the future."
"Heroes are born in young men. Master Guo, your two apprentices have given you a good reputation."
……
The guests came forward to express their congratulations.
"Hahaha, don't forget to stay and drink."
Guo Wei invited the guests into the living room.
While everyone was drinking at the banquet, Chu Linguang and Hei Hu both stood behind Guo Wei, making tea and pouring wine for Guo Wei. This is the etiquette between master and if the three of them usually eat together, they have to wait for Guo Wei to sit down and move his chopsticks before the two of them can move. The guests should abide by the rules in the presence of the guests. They should not let people think that the apprentice is too old or too young, causing the master to lose face.
As a modern person, Chu Linguang is not averse to this kind of etiquette. Guo Wei is his mentor and will teach him martial arts in the future and help him obtain fame.
Regardless of whether you can pass the exam in the future, if you learn a skill, you will be rewarded by your master. Especially in a society like the Yuan Dynasty, if you are not a relative or a friend, why should you teach you what you have learned in your life? If you want to be recognized by the master , usually big and small things must be done in place.
"You guys are tired today, let's sit down and eat!"
Guo Wei saw Chu Linguang and Hei Hu pouring a round of wine for the guests, and after standing beside him to wait for a while, he ordered them to sit down and eat.
The disciples follow the rules well, and as a master, I cannot turn a blind eye and neglect them, otherwise I will be disliked.
"Thank you, Master!"
Chu Linguang and Hei Hu bowed.
Before the two sat down, they poured Guo Wei another glass of wine and made a pot of tea, and chose to sit near Guo Wei, so that if Guo Wei had any instructions, the two of them could respond immediately.
When the guests had finished their meal and dispersed, Chu Linguang and Hei Hu put down their dishes and helped Guo Wei send the guests out. After watching Guo Wei enter the room to rest, Chu Linguang and Hei Hu returned to the dining table to clean up the mess.
"Two junior brothers, follow me to the restaurant, and I'll take care of you."
Guo Fang came in and said.
Guo Wei accepted a disciple today, and her daughter had been busy all day, but she didn't have to deal with the guests, nor did she have to serve them tea and wine, but there were two matchmakers pestering her, which annoyed her very much.
Now the guests are gone.
Guo Fang wanted to go out and relax.
"Okay, thank you, sister."
Heihu put down his bowl and chopsticks and said excitedly.
Chu Linguang saw that there were a lot of food and wine on the table. Although there were traces of chopstick movement, it was still many times richer than when he ate it with brown rice mixed with lard.
But Hei Hu didn't refuse, so he couldn't disagree with Hei Hu, let alone refute Guo Fang's interest, so he said together: "Okay, thank you, senior sister."
After a drink, Guo Fang talked to Chu Linguang more today than he had said to Chu Linguang in the past year. After drinking, Chu Linguang and Heihu learned that among the disciples Guo Wei had accepted, some of them had passed the examination to be a scholar or even a martial arts examiner. But they all distanced themselves from Guo Wei after entering officialdom.
The reason was that Guo Wei had a son who was sent to the army. Guo Wei hoped that his disciples could help him clear the relationship and let his son return to Baiyang County. In the end, none of his disciples could help. In order not to be implicated by Guo Wei's son, only important ones were I will come back and take a look at Guo Wei someday.
A few days ago, Guo Wei went on a long trip to inform a few disciples that he would accept another disciple today and asked them to come back and take a look, but none of them came back.
So after the guests dispersed, Guo Wei returned to the room alone, probably wondering whether Heihu and Chu Linguang would turn a blind eye to his request like other disciples in the future.
Chu Linguang and Heihu were speechless for a long time, and finally understood why Guo Fang insisted on dragging them out to drink today. It turned out that he wanted to warn them that they must not let Guo Wei down no matter what in the future.
The two took Guo Fang back to the martial arts gym.
On the way back, Chu Linguang was thinking about what he would do if he was in high school and faced Guo Wei asking for help in the future, and if it would be difficult for him.
Should he take a desperate risk and help Guo Wei repay his favor, or should he turn a blind eye to Guo Wei like the previous brothers?
He took out the red envelope given to him by Guo Wei from his pocket. The silver inside was the same as the tuition fee he had paid before. Guo Wei returned the tuition fee, which was undoubtedly telling him and Heihu that they had established a master-disciple relationship.
A teacher for a day, a father for a lifetime.
Chu Linguang has no way of knowing the answer now, so he can only take one step at a time.
