Qin Yu, who was about to reach into the tray again, was a little surprised when he saw that one corner of the Gorgon cake on the tray was missing. There were at least five or six cakes in this corner, right?
So, in just one cup of tea, I actually ate so many pieces of Gorgon Rice Cake?
But this plate of pastries was placed in front of him, who else would eat it if not him.
Qin Yu suddenly realized that it was not these two boys who were stupid, but that he really "loved eating" in front of them.
But, since when did he like to eat glutinous rice cake?
At this time, Qin Yu had not yet realized that when a person is in a good mood, his appetite will increase greatly.
When he saw the two boys in front of him again, a piece of cake had to be chewed for a long time before swallowing, he couldn't help but nodded on the table and said: "Stop, stop, stop, I have something to ask you two."
Upon hearing that Mr. Qin wanted to ask questions, Lin Yuanqiu and Zhou Zixu hurriedly withdrew their hands that were about to take the cakes from the plate.
Seeing the relieved expressions of the two boys at the same time, Qin Yu couldn't help laughing, "I want to ask you two, is this Gorgon Cake to your liking?"
"No." Zhou Zixu shook his head sharply.
Lin Yuanqiu also answered honestly: "The students ate it well at first, but then it became a little too sweet."
Qin Yu put down the tea cup and asked again: "If you don't like it, why do you buy it so many times?"
In fact, Qin Yu also knew that this was too much to ask. The two boys must have bought it one after another because they saw that he liked it very much.
Sure enough, I heard Zhou Zixu say, "Master, you like to eat. Brother Lin said, a thousand people have a thousand preferences. Master, you love to eat Gorgon Rice Cake, you must be the same as we love to eat fish. No matter how much you eat, I don’t feel tired either.”
Lin Yuanqiu nodded repeatedly, expressing his agreement with his brother-in-law's words. Today, the canteen cooked fish pieces again, and he had two bowls of rice at noon.
Seeing the two people in front of him, who seemed to take it for granted that they bought it because you like to eat, Qin Yu didn't know what to say for a moment.
Thinking about these two boys again, they knew that they would most likely be invited to eat pastries together, but they still dared to buy them. He saw the expressions on the two of them chewing the pastries for a long time before swallowing them. .
Qin Yu suddenly felt that he was a little unreasonable. Despite the sincerity of the two children, he actually thought that they were stupid and forced them to eat together.
So, is this bad old man too difficult to serve?
Alas, it was really not easy for these two children to learn more from him.
Thinking like this, another picture soon appeared in Qin Yu's mind. On a cold winter day, two children were shivering in the teahouse. Then they each took a breath of hot air on their hands and started again. Start writing family letters with others.
Thinking of this, Qin Yu, who had never thought of accepting a disciple in his life, said by mistake: "Yuan Qiu, Zixu, do you two want to become my teacher?"
…
Chapter 124 Beginner Disciple
The sudden question stunned Lin Yuanqiu and Zhou Zixu, and it could be said that they did not recover for a while.
Zhou Zixu couldn't help but turn his head to look at Lin Yuanqiu, the question in his eyes was obvious. He wanted to ask, Brother Lin, did we hear it correctly?
Lin Yuanqiu, however, reacted much faster than his brother-in-law. After seeing Mr. Qin's face full of smiles and loving eyes, he immediately stood up from the stool as if on conditioned reflex, then knelt down on the ground neatly and said excitedly: "Teacher, Yuanqiu is willing, Yuanqiu is very willing!"
Zhou Zixu's heart was pounding. Sure enough, he heard it right. Lord Qin really wanted to accept him and Brother Lin as his disciples.
So without hesitation, he hurriedly stepped forward, knelt down and said, "Teacher, Zixu is also willing. I am extremely happy!"
Then, the two uncles and uncles, who had a tacit understanding of each other, touched their foreheads to the ground and kowtowed three times in a row before Qin Yu could ask any more questions, completing the three-ring ceremony of apprenticeship.
Qin Yu: "..."
Are these two brats worried that they will regret it?
Thinking of this, Qin Yu couldn't help laughing. Although he had made the idea temporarily, when he saw Lin Yuanqiu and Zhou Zixu with admiration in their eyes, he suddenly felt that this was good.
These two boys are sincere and I like them very much. I have long wanted to teach them well in terms of knowledge. Now that I have the status of master and disciple, I no longer have to restrain myself when it comes to teaching.
And Qin Yu's "no need to tie your hands and feet anymore" is definitely literal.
No, as a new teacher, he was preparing to let the two fresh disciples get up quickly, and then talk about his thoughts and expectations, hoping to encourage them.
But when he saw the four large plates full of glutinous rice cakes on the table, Qin Yu was immediately furious. He immediately lifted an ear with one hand, then raised his foot and hit the two of them on the buttocks, "You two are like this." Are you buying cakes? No matter how much I love it, no matter how big my belly is, I still can’t eat four kilograms!"
You two brats, you think I am a pig.
Lin Yuanqiu and Zhou Zixu were so excited that they never expected that the teacher who had a loving face just now would actually hold their ears.
But after hearing what the teacher said clearly, I realized that I had bought too many snacks.
So, does the teacher accept them as his disciples just to be able to deal with them in a legitimate way? After all, after becoming the teacher's disciples, they are no different from the teacher's children. Naturally, they can be beaten whenever they want.
Seeing the teacher blowing his beard and staring, but actually not showing any anger on his face, Lin Yuanqiu was about to say: "The students are aware of this, and I promise not to do this again."
As a result, Zhou Zixu beside him said, "Teacher, four pounds is not much. Don't you have ten days?"
This means that even the four kilograms of Gorgon Rice Cake was not eaten by you in one day. Brother Lin and I only come here every ten days, so it’s not much.
Yes, this means that as a teacher, he will not plan to eat.
Qin Yu couldn't tell whether to laugh or cry, but he felt that what this silly guy said made sense.
It's just that the atmosphere has reached this point, so he can't "give up halfway."
So, the two disciples, who had just become disciples and were still a little bit hot-tempered, were driven to the wall outside the door by their teacher.
Lin Yuanqiu wished he could stay away from this silly brother-in-law. Alas, he usually looked like a very clever person, but he didn't expect that he was now lacking in foresight.
At this time, Zhou Zixu, who was disliked by his brother-in-law for being a stupid brother-in-law, suddenly remembered something.
So Lin Yuanqiu saw that his silly brother-in-law, who had been standing against the wall for a while, took a step to the side, then stretched his neck to look into the small study room, and then heard him say, "Teacher, the student has something to do." I forgot to tell you.”
Qin Yu stared, "What's the matter?"
Hehe, Zhou Zixu touched his head, a little embarrassed, "Teacher, today the student received a letter from home, and the student's marriage has been decided."
Zhou Zixu felt that since there was a teacher-student relationship, he should let the teacher know everything about him.
As for the situation at home, Zhou Zixu had already mentioned it when he came to the Qin Mansion last time, including the previous several trips to the Lu Mansion.
As for why they wanted to talk about Lu Mansion, it was Lin Yuanqiu who brought it up.
After all, matters in the court are complicated, and they don't know whether Mr. Qin and Mr. Lu are entangled with each other. Therefore, it is better to say some things clearly. Mr. Qin's kind teaching would only make him angry.
Qin Yu naturally knew why Zhou Zixu wanted to tell him about the engagement. It was because he wanted to hide everything from him. He said to himself that he had indeed seen the right person. These two children were really sincere.
As a teacher, he was naturally concerned about his students' marriages, so he waved to Zhou Zixu and asked him to come into the study room to talk with him in detail.
When he found out that the person he was talking about was Lin Yuanqiu's biological sister, Qin Yu couldn't help but want to laugh. This was really a good thing.
However, this is also quite good.
When he confiscated the two of them as students, Qin Yu didn't think much about other things. After all, he didn't like to meddle in other people's affairs.
But now that Lin Yuanqiu and Zhou Zixu have become his students, the meaning is definitely different.
In Qin Yu's view, he should only have these two disciples in this life. It can be said that they are the disciples who open the door and the disciples who close the door. Naturally, he hopes that his two students can always live in harmony and take care of each other.
Also, thinking of the current situation in the DPRK, Qin Yu felt that it was necessary to tell his disciples that they should study hard in the Imperial College and not get involved in matters that had nothing to do with knowledge.
The other person is Lu Huai, who has a deep mind and often walks among the supporters of the eldest prince and the second prince. Although he does not take sides, it is obvious that he is able to steer the ship with the wind.
In Qin Yu's view, this kind of approach of trying to please both sides is worse than being one-sided by others.
Therefore, it is better to stay away from such people as much as possible.
Zhou Zixu nodded, "Students understand."
Naturally, he would not go to the Lu family again. This time, his father also said this in the letter, saying that there was no reply to the letter he sent to the Lu family. It seems that the other party had a grudge because of the refusal of the marriage.
…
It is said that respecting teachers is the same as being kind to parents.
Although I have kowtowed to the teacher today, it is not a trivial matter to become a teacher, and the due etiquette cannot be omitted.
Therefore, after returning to the dormitory after dinner, Lin Yuanqiu wrote a letter home. In the letter, he informed his family about today's apprenticeship, and then asked his father to come to the capital.
The apprenticeship ceremony requires the presence of two family members, and the teacher's friends will also be present to witness, so that Qin Yu can be officially accepted as his apprentice.
After putting the written letter into the envelope and putting it away, Lin Yuanqiu opened the book box and took out all the remaining baggage.
At this time, he was still feeling excited and could not calm down. He felt that there was a high possibility of insomnia tonight.
Therefore, since I can't sleep, I might as well take advantage of this moment to finish all the remaining Bodhisattva portraits. In this way, I can deliver the painting to Shopkeeper Zhu tomorrow afternoon.
To be honest, Lin Yuanqiu never thought that he would have such a lucky day.
After getting along with Lord Qin, he respects and appreciates him from the bottom of his heart.
In Lin Yuanqiu's opinion, Master Qin is not only knowledgeable, but he is also honest and not hypocritical.
Therefore, how could Lin Yuanqiu not be excited and excited to be accepted as a disciple by Master Qin, whom he liked.
So it’s normal to be so happy that you can’t sleep.
This time, a total of 17 orders were received, and there were also two sets of five-panel Kang screens.
Lin Yuanqiu roughly calculated the money he could get tomorrow, and suddenly felt that as long as a person had a skill, he could live freely no matter where he went.
By the time Lin Yuanqiu finished painting all four paintings, it was almost midnight. Although there was a long distance between his residence and the street outside, the night was quiet, and the sound of banging at midnight could still be heard clearly.
After washing off all the paint on the tip of the pen and gathering it together with his fingers, Lin Yuanqiu hung the brush upside down on the pen holder.
Since he started painting, Lin Yuanqiu has never bought another brush for writing. Because these brushes that have been used for painting once are basically the same as new ones, so there is no need to waste them.
By the way, there are also these inkstones.
Seeing the dozens of extra inkstones and the fact that there were still many more inkstones in the drawer, Lin Yuanqiu felt that he had to hurry up and open the shop.
So I have to go to Changrong Street tomorrow if I have time.
In fact, Lin Yuanqiu prefers to have someone at home to help, but in his last letter, he mentioned that his eldest sister-in-law and his second sister-in-law were pregnant again, and the third sister-in-law had just given birth to a daughter not long after she was born.
The capital is too far away from home, so my cousin and the others will definitely not be able to leave for a while.
After putting away all the brushes, Lin Yuanqiu quickly washed up and went to bed.
After painting for a few hours, I felt a lot calmer, and now I was feeling sleepy.
So, hurry up and go to bed quickly. In three hours at most, you will have to get up early to read in the morning.
