Bao Guowei naturally wanted to give Mr. Qin this face.
He raised his hands in salute and said respectfully: "Mr. Qin is serious! If Mr. Qin hadn't vouched for me back then, how could I have gone to Zhicheng Middle School, let alone these things."
After talking about the scene, Mr. Qin looked at Qin Yun and his tone was much stern.
"As a gentleman says, a horse cannot be chased. Yun'er, since you have already lost, how can I protect you?"
"Besides, if we are three people together, I must be my teacher. With Bao Guowei's ability and attainments, it is more than enough to be your Chinese studies teacher, and it is even more of an honor for you to be your history teacher!"
When things got to this point, he had completely lost.
Qin Yun gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, uncle."
"Since ancient times, respecting teachers and respecting morality has been the most important principle. Our Qin family has the Qin family today precisely because we love to learn and value teachers. Now, Gao Sheng, go and buy things. Today, Yun'er, you will kowtow here and become your master. , perform the apprenticeship ceremony. Mr. Xiong and I will host it for you!"
"Bang!"
Like a thunderbolt falling on Qin Yun's head, his pupils instantly shrank to an extremely small size.
He pointed at himself in disbelief and said, "Me...me? Kowtow to him?"
"Huh? Don't you know the etiquette of our Qin family? Have you forgotten that when you were a child, the private school teacher came to our house to teach you literacy and sentence reading? You didn't kowtow to the teacher at that time. At that time, every morning when the teacher came, you had to say hello Woolen cloth!"
"It's just that things have changed in today's world. Greetings are not so complicated. Just bow and say hello and shake hands. This is convenient, but this apprenticeship ceremony is necessary."
Qin Yun was stunned on the spot, at a loss. He pointed at Bao Guowei and stammered: "Him? I kowtow to him. If he has a muddy leg, I kowtow to him! What kind of international joke are you making!"
Mr. Qin was furious, his eyes were wide-eyed, and he stretched out his hand to hit him. Gao Sheng saw this and stopped him quickly.
Bao Guowei was watching the show from the side, his face expressionless, but his heart was full of teasing.
Suddenly, he saw Mr. Qin glance at him, obviously to observe his reaction.
In his previous life, Bao Guowei was a social beast, but he still knew this etiquette.
By doing this, he was obviously given enough face. If he didn't follow the steps, he would get into trouble.
Bao Guowei is not a gentleman, but he doesn't bother to do things like adding insult to injury.
"Mr. Qin! If you do this, you will destroy Guowei's nephew! Cousin Qin Yun is very talented and deserves to be taught by a famous teacher. Guowei only knows a little bit and is just practicing in front of Mr. Xiong. He doesn't dare to be called a teacher. .”
"What if Cousin Qin Yun is eager to learn? It would be great to discuss things with nephew Guowei, but I am really too ashamed to be a disciple!"
The words "Master Qin" and "Cousin Qin Yun" instantly shortened the distance between them.
Bao Guowei is the son of his servant Lao Bao. He has a master-servant relationship with the Qin family, but now that he has shown strength, he is already on an equal footing with the two of them.
Mr. Qin rolled his eyes, and he naturally knew that these two calls to close the distance were actually a kind of transaction.
What Bao Guowei and Lao Bao want is a name, a name that is equal to the Qin family. If they give him this name, then today's bet will be cancelled.
"Haha. Nephew Guowei, you are so humble. He will be a great talent in the future!"
Mr. Qin didn't hesitate. After all, Bao Guowei's potential had already been revealed. It would be a loss for the Qin family to meet such a person who might make great achievements in university in the future.
"Well...it's just that we have a bet. Our Qin family has always been a family that keeps its word. If you say you want to become a disciple, then you will become a disciple!"
Bao Guowei shook his head.
"The previous bets were just a prank by the juniors, and I just won by luck. If this is really going to be the case, Qin Yun will inevitably be wronged..."
"Mr. Xiong Shili was a professor at Wuchang University before. His research on Chinese studies is second to none in the country. If cousin Qin Yun worships Mr. Xiong, then he will live up to his talent and knowledge!"
Xiong Shili's expression changed, but he immediately regained his composure.
"Yes. Indeed, little brother Qin Yun has good talent, but he lacks a little diligence. If he can get the guidance of a famous teacher, he may be able to achieve something."
"I have studied New Confucianism for many years, and I have gained a lot of insights into Chinese studies. If young brother Qin Yun is willing to become my disciple and get a beloved disciple, I will do my best to cultivate him!"
When Mr. Qin heard this, he suddenly smiled and said quickly: "Mr. Xiong, this is inappropriate! I know Yun'er's talent..."
Xiong Shili waved his hand and interrupted him.
"Mr. Qin, it goes without saying. Qin Yun's shortcomings can be made up for by hard work. He still has some spirituality, so just give me some face."
Now that the words have come to this, how dare Mr. Qin disobey him? Just as Gao Sheng has arranged all the apprenticeship items, the apprenticeship ceremony can begin.
Qin Yun was reluctant, but he also knew the importance. Xiong Shili offered to accept him as his disciple. If he refused, he would lose face and have his legs broken by his uncle.
Everyone moved to the main hall.
The first thing to pay homage to as a master is Confucius. Xiong Shili studies New Confucianism, and his first worship is naturally the founder of Confucianism.
The second bow to the master is the master.
As the saying goes, "My parents are the one who gave birth to me, and my master is the one who taught me." The apprentice must kowtow three times, and then present a red envelope and apprenticeship sticker. This is the conclusion of a contract with the master.
Finally, there are the master's instructions.
Xiong Shili came to the Qin Mansion with no intention of accepting a disciple, so he didn't have any words of instruction. He just said a few random words and that was it.
"Master!" Qin Yun saluted with his hands raised.
Xiong Shili patted his shoulder and said slowly: "To be a scholar, you need to have the spirit of 'drilling', and to be my apprentice requires a hundred times the spirit of 'drilling'. Do you understand?"
"Disciple understands."
Mr. Qin has a pleasant face and has been smiling from ear to ear ever since Xiong Shili agreed to become his disciple.
"Thank you, Mr. Xiong. It is an honor for my Qin family to accept Yun'er as your disciple!"
Xiong Shili smiled, looked at Bao Guowei aside, and said, "No need to thank me. If you want to thank you, just thank Bao Guowei! Bao Guowei is extremely talented and intelligent, and I still want to be his master, but... it's not enough. Ge!"
Bao Guowei looked horrified, cupped his hands and said, "Mr. Xiong is really ridiculous!"
Mr. Qin naturally knew what Xiong Shili meant. If he could accept Yun'er as his disciple, he would naturally give Bao Guowei face.
"Ahem. Nephew Guowei, I was harsh in my words before, but I didn't expect that you have grown up now. What a surprise!"
Knowing that his goal was achieved, Bao Guowei said with a smile: "Where, if it weren't for Mr. Qin, I wouldn't be able to enter Zhicheng Middle School. If it weren't for my dad, I wouldn't be able to learn so much."
After that, he hid behind himself and pushed his rickety old bag forward.
