When she got the land deed, Minghua glanced at it and saw that it was her name that was written on the land deed. Logically speaking, an unmarried daughter could not have private property, but the master did it for her.
"Master, is it okay to write my name on it?"
"What's the problem?" Xu Shoufu said calmly: "The money was advanced for the master, and I didn't intend for you to pay it back; I thought it was a apprenticeship gift from the master, and I was in a hurry when I was offering tea to the master. , I couldn’t prepare a satisfactory apprenticeship ceremony for you.”
Minghua: Shouldn’t she be given the apprenticeship ceremony?
Before she could be confused for a long time, Xu Shoufu said again: "There are disciples in our lineage, some are poor and some are rich. Disciples from rich families naturally want to be given the apprenticeship ceremony; but you, a commoner, are too embarrassed to accept it as your master."
Heartbreaking!
But you are right. If you accept the apprenticeship gift from a rich family, you should accept it with a clear conscience. For disciples who are not well-off, do they give a apprenticeship gift as a token of their sincerity? Or should we compare it to the previous senior brothers and sisters?
It's inappropriate no matter how you look at it.
Ji Jin echoed from the side, "Little junior sister, the master set the rules back then and told us that for those who have a lot of money, the master will accept it. For disciples who are tight, the master will accept the things that they can't handle. Okay. Now, our senior brothers all think it is feasible, so this practice has continued; your second senior brother must have a high family background, but he is a concubine and only has a few monthly appointments, so when he apprentices, the master also confiscates his apprenticeship Gift; I also gave him a big gift to let him take care of his situation at that time."
As for what kind of gift it was, he couldn't reveal it.
"Besides, I also have a meeting gift for you." Ji Jin took out a small purse from his arms and gave it to him, "Master just happened to give it to me, so I will give it to you too; I didn't know what kind of meeting gift would be better for you before."
Take advantage of Master's guidance and give the house deed together to avoid future troubles.
"Can I open it and take a look?" She touched the purse and felt it was light. She didn't think it was worthless; on the contrary, something that made Ji Jin feel worthy of giving must be very valuable.
Ji Jin nodded, "Whatever, it's yours if I give it to you."
Minghua looked up at him while opening her purse, took out the paper in her purse and looked at it carefully; it was another land deed, which was next to the second-entry yard that the master bought, and could even be opened into a large yard.
Signature: Xiao Minghua.
have to.
Her name was written again.
So, how convenient ancient power was.
"Master, senior brother, the law says that underage children are not allowed to own private property." Being discovered is the handle.
Xu Shoufu thought about how the little girl's family did not understand the twists and turns of officialdom; there were human feelings outside the law, so he asked her, "Who am I to you?"
"Master!"
"Master is like father, right?"
"Right?"
Xu Shoufu:......
"What's right? That's it; I'm half your father. Can't I give you a house and put it in your name? Doesn't it say in the law that property gifted by the father and approved by the elders cannot be recorded in the name of the children? Down?"
Minghua hesitated and shook his head, "No."
"That's okay." Xu Shoufu said helplessly: "As a little girl, you have a lot to worry about. You are still young, and you are at the age where you should be carefree. If there is anything, just let your parents worry about it. Why are you worrying so blindly?"
It seems, it seems to work.
Minghua didn't argue anymore, but asked, "What about Senior Brother?"
"Do you know that it is not a family custom to give gifts from others?"
"I don't know." It's not written in the regulations.
Xu Shoufu glanced at the two apprentices next to him and went to drink tea with his forehead on his forehead.
Cui Changhe gave her a thorough introduction, "There is an unwritten rule in Beijing. No one is allowed to take gifts from others; not even the family. If there is a dispute, as long as the giver is willing to testify, then it is valid. .”
"Is that so?" That's not the opposite of the law.
Ji Jin explained, "That's right. After all, if someone else has a good relationship with someone and is willing to give a gift, who can say anything? Thinking about it on the other hand, someone else spent money to buy it for someone, and someone's But the family wants to take it for themselves, is that any different from taking it for granted? After all, it’s other people’s money, not their family’s money.”
"It's so troublesome." Scratching his head, the Beijing people are really good at playing, "So, as long as it is given away, it cannot be classified under the family name; then, if the children want to buy private property, wouldn't it be okay to ask someone for help! The family Can’t take it back.”
"So, the rules are the rules, and there are loopholes that can be exploited. Don't be too honest. Who doesn't want to leave a way out for yourself?" Ji Jin squatted down and whispered to her: "Elder brother also has private property. There are quite a few; most of them are gifts in the name of master, and so is your second senior brother, so you will get used to it in the future."
All right.
In ancient times, it was the custom to have a master who was half a father, and a disciple who was half a son. This was due to the general environment and the sophistication of people, and no one dared to challenge it.
"I understand." Minghua thought for a while, she couldn't receive this benefit in vain, she had to give a gift in return. She looked around and said to Xu Shoufu: "Master, Brother Dashu, Second Senior Brother, I will give you a gift later." I’ll give you a good gift; I’ll go back to the guest house first and be back soon.”
"There is nothing missing from a teacher."
"Senior brother is not lacking anything either."
Minghua didn't care about them, and ran to the guest house with two land deeds in his arms. Xiao Leshi sat on the stool and knitted his clothes, and asked as he stood up.
"Here you go, are you hungry?"
"I'm not hungry, mother. I'm going back to the room. I have to go back to the master in a while. Don't get up."
Xiao Leshi sat down on the stone bench again, shook his head and chuckled, "This kid has become very popular since he came to the capital. I don't know how the affairs of the house are going."
She didn't go to see the house because she didn't understand; she didn't want to embarrass her daughter. Anyway, with Xu Shoufu here, he wouldn't choose a bad house for her daughter.
Minghua went back to her room and closed the door, "Little bell, little bell."
"Ding......"
The little bell came out of her sea of consciousness and appeared to ring like a little bell, which was a response to its master.
"I want three things that are not too out of the ordinary. Do we have them in our space? For example, things that can save lives or improve physical fitness."
"Ding......"
"Forget it, I'll see for myself."
Closing her eyes, her consciousness entered the inner space of the little bell. It was very spacious. There were many things scattered around. Minghua rummaged around and found all the things that only those with advanced cultivation could use. Ordinary people would definitely explode if they ate them. , because they cannot absorb so much spiritual energy.
After rummaging for a while, I found a small jade box; when I opened it, I found that it contained only spiritual fruits that were like spiritual energy.
"It's just you."
It’s just that when did this thing enter her space? Most of the things in her space are innate-level spiritual objects. Forget it, I can’t remember. It must have been a gift from some junior brother or sister.
