As the questions were answered perfectly by Liu Guangqi one by one, he even threw out one or two novel opinions from time to time. Bai Jingqi looked at Liu Guangqi's eyes with more and more interest
"Hahaha, what a genius. What your teacher said is absolutely correct. You actually read it all in such a short time and it's absolutely correct. It's really not easy. Here are the people, prepare lunch. I want some today. Good enough to have a chat with my apprentice."
Bai Jingqi hugged Liu Guangqi's shoulders and shouted loudly.
"I knew you could."
Bai Mei on the side knew that the matter was done when she heard the old man's words, and Liu Guangqi was also excited and pinched her face.
It happened to be dinner time. Under Bai Jingqi's urging, a table of chicken, duck and fish was quickly served. As Liu Guangqi's teacher, Bai Mei naturally stayed.
At first, the Bai family thought that Liu Guangqi would be very excited when he saw such a table of food, just like when Zheng Laofi saw the meat rolled in pancakes and ate it up.
But Liu Guangqi's performance was beyond their expectations. Not only was he very elegant in his food appearance, he was also very particular about his table manners. He was not at all like a child from a working-class family, and he was even more particular than some young masters.
In particular, Bai Jingqi specially opened a bottle of red wine, and the little habits Liu Guangqi inadvertently exposed made the family unable to see through him, such as the way he holds the wine glass, the posture of clinking the glasses, the way of tasting wine, the small movements of shaking the glass, and There is Liu Guangqi's conversation.
If it weren't for the strange clothes Liu Guangqi was wearing, they would have thought he was a rich young man walking out of a mansion.
Li Xiangxiu on the side became more and more satisfied as she looked at Liu Guangqi. This was not what she imagined the young master of the mansion looked like. She has been worrying about what kind of person she should train Li Tianyi to be, but now it's better, Liu Guangqi directly gave her a template.
"Looking back, I'll have people sort out the medical records at home and move them to the back room. If you want to read them in the future, you can come over and have a look. You're welcome. You can't take so many books back with you."
After drinking and eating, Bai Jingqi patted Liu Guangqi on the shoulder and made arrangements.
"Well, I understand, master."
Liu Guangqi agreed without any hesitation. Because he knew that what Bai Jingqi said was true. The medical records of the Bai family's medical practice for generations could not be described in a few words, and they would probably have to be counted in boxes.
"Guangqi, when you go to school later, you have to take more care of our family Tianyi. He is two years younger than you. Don't let people bully him in school."
"Don't worry, Master. I will definitely be optimistic about God's will. I'm still a bit popular in school. Those bastards have to sell me some face."
Liu Guangqi patted his chest and promised
"That's fine"
Li Xiangxiu nodded with satisfaction.
After saying this, it was already late. Just when Liu Guangqi was about to leave, he suddenly felt that his apprenticeship today was too hasty. Not only were there no parents present, but there was only Bai Mei as a witness. It was really too shabby. , and it’s really unreasonable that he didn’t give the apprenticeship ceremony to his master.
Thinking of this, Liu Guangqi turned around, knelt in front of Bai Jingqi, and kowtowed three times respectfully.
"What are you doing, kid? Get up quickly. Now that we have a new China, we no longer want to kowtow and become apprentices."
Liu Guangqi's move made Bai Jingqi and Bai Jingqi stunned, but they immediately understood what Liu Guangqi meant. Pulling Liu Guangqi's arm, he was about to help Liu Guangqi up.
"Although times have changed, respecting teachers and respecting morality is the virtue of our Chinese nation, and this will not change."
As he said this, Liu Guangqi kowtowed to Bai Jingqi twice more, completing three more, and then he was pulled up from the ground by Bai Jingqi.
After kowtowing, but the apprenticeship ceremony had not yet been given, Liu Guangtian put his hand into his pocket, took out a pair of red and bright walnuts that had been plated, and raised them in front of Bai Jingqi.
"What a beautiful lion head. It's not cheap. Where did you get it?"
Bai Jingqi was stunned for a moment when he saw the lion head in front of him. Although he didn't like playing with these toys, he also knew how precious these things were. Walnuts as big and round as this were hard to come by, not to mention that they were already there. If it is sold out, it will be even more precious. In the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, the princes of the Eight Banners, Baylor, might not know how much they would pay for it.
"This walnut was left behind by my grandfather. Our family is poor and doesn't have anything valuable, so we can only use this thing as a apprenticeship gift. Don't dislike it."
As he spoke, Liu Guangqi stuffed the walnuts into Bai Jingqi's hands. This pair of walnuts looks very intimidating. In fact, they are the product of acquired industrialization. However, it is not easy to grow so big and match the pair. Liu Guangqi spent hundreds of dollars to buy them home as a gift. I lost my grandfather, but I didn’t expect that it would take ten years to become what it is now.
Using this thing as a apprenticeship ceremony saves money on the one hand, and looks good on the other hand. In the eyes of rich people, this thing is much better than a few pounds of meat.
"You kid, let me give you something. Xiangxiu, please bring the pen from my study."
Bai Jingqi looked at the three-sided lion head in his hand and decided to return the favor, so soon, Li Xiangxiu came over with a very beautiful gold pen.
"This pen was bought by a foreign friend from abroad as a gift to me. I have always carried it close to me. Now that I am older, I use it less, so I will give it to you while I am happy."
As he spoke, Bai Jingqi thrust the gold pen into Liu Guangqi's hand.
"How is this possible? It's too expensive."
Liu Guangqi pretended to decline.
"Why is it so valuable? To be honest, it may not be as valuable as your two walnuts. Just keep it."
Bai Jingqi thrust the pen into Liu Guangqi's arms and sat back on his recliner.
"Just accept it. This is also my grandfather's intention. It's wrong."
Bai Mei was persuading Liu Guangqi when suddenly she seemed to remember something, her face turned pale and she started shouting.
"What's wrong? That's wrong. Isn't this a good thing?"
Li Xiangxiu asked from the side
"Originally, he was my student one generation younger than me. Now he has become my grandfather's apprentice. Doesn't that mean he has become one generation older than me? How can that be the case? No, no, you can't worship this master."
"Hahahaha, you just remembered it now, it's too late. You are the one who pushed this matter. From now on, when you see others, please just call me uncle."
Bai Jingqi heard his granddaughter's complaints and smiled happily. Li Xiangxiu on the side also covered her mouth and laughed.
"Haha, it's okay, Teacher Bai. From now on, we can talk about our own affairs. Outside, I will still call you Teacher Bai, and the master, Master, so no one will know."
Liu Guangqi saw Bai Mei's resentful look and thought of a compromise.
"This is a good idea, so let's do it."
Bai Jingqi made a final decision and said that he actually didn't care that much about Liu Guangqi calling him master or not. The reason why he accepted Liu Guangqi was because he was getting older and wanted to find something to do for himself and pass on his medical skills.
"Okay, okay, why do you call me Teacher Bai outside? Why do you really want me to call you uncle, you don't even have the door?"
After saying that, Bai Mei stomped out.
"Master, I've been out for a long time, it's time to go back."
After Bai Mei left, Liu Guangqi also said goodbye to Bai Jingqi and followed Bai Mei's footsteps and left the Bai family mansion.
"This boy's future achievements are limitless."
Bai Jingqi looked at Liu Guangqi's retreating back and muttered to Li Xiangxiu beside him.
"Just this once, what can be seen."
"There are many things that can be seen. With the aura of wealth and nobility that cannot be hidden in him, he is destined to have great achievements in the future."
"That's true. You said that he is a child from a poor working class. How can he be so well-educated? He is nothing like the servants and children in our courtyard. The way he holds the cup and the way he tastes wine are the same as those taught by foreigners. They are exactly the same, what I do is not as standard as what he does, and..."
After Liu Guangqi left, Li Xiangxiu and Bai Jingqi started a discussion about Liu Guangqi.
