Jianye Yamen Post House, a high-end guest house for patrolling or passing officials. In front of the koi pond in the courtyard of the post house, a tall and handsome Confucian in white is holding a folding fan and watching the fish. He is Chu Madsheng, one of the four masters of the Tang Dynasty.

Half a year ago, Chu Mad Sheng was ordered by his master to come to Jiangnan to search for Jiangyang thieves, and the traces of the defeated general Yuwen Shentong in the previous dynasty also unearthed some available talents in Jiangnan by the way. And Yuwen Shentong is uncertain, and the talent is indeed found in Jianye, to be exact, it should be a natural genius, and that arm strength really has the legacy of the overlord of Xiang Yu and Sun Ce in ancient times!

At this time, there was a commotion outside the door, and the post man stepped forward to report respectfully: "Lord Chu, Zhou Yuanwai has brought his son Zhou Tong to the door to apprentice. ”

Chu Madsheng frowned: "Please come in!" ”

Then the horn was cheerful, and a fat man with a red face with a tall young man who was a head taller than him, and more than a dozen servants carrying the apprenticeship dowry entered the door in a noisy manner, and a large group of Jianye people were watching outside the door.

Chu Madsheng especially didn't like this battle, and the words that came out were telling Yuwen Shentong that he was coming, and it would be even more difficult to arrest him. However, apprenticeship is an important event in life, and Long's focus is on respecting himself as a master and a sect, and it is also indispensable.

Chu Madsheng raised his hand slightly, and the fish pond suddenly surged with water waves, and an invisible aura spread throughout the audience, and those trumpeters who blew the trumpeters were like a fish in their throats, and suddenly they couldn't make a sound, and the hustle and bustle of the audience was instantly silent.

Chu Madsheng said lightly: "Zhou Tong? ”

Although his voice was low, everyone in the audience felt as if he was speaking in front of him. In this way, the tall boy was suddenly stunned.

The fat man immediately pushed his son: "Quickly kowtow to the master!" ”

Chu Madsheng said lightly: "Red tape is avoided, just kowtow to me three times, one worships the ghosts and gods of heaven and earth, the second worships the patriarch of the sect, and the third worships me as a teacher." ”

The young man's knees that had just bent suddenly stopped, and he said in astonishment: "Master, I have recognized the gods of heaven and earth, why do you worship ghosts?" ”

Chu Madsheng was suddenly stunned: "Why do you ask this?" ”

The crowd outside the door laughed: "In the morning, Young Master Zhou entered the haunted house and was scared to pee his pants!" ”

Zhou Yuan was angry and immediately turned around and scolded angrily: "Get out!" ”

"It's not the first time I'm scared to pee, just get used to it!"

Zhou Tong's face turned blue with anger: "Master! I don't want to worship ghosts, I want to learn peerless martial arts to kill ghosts! ”

"Presumptuous! Get on your knees! Zhou Yuan angrily kicked Zhou Tong's half-bent leg and knee, but he just didn't kneel.

Chu Madsheng was secretly surprised, so he gently pressed the folding fan on Zhou Tong's shoulder and said with a smile: "Although I admire you for daring to disrespect ghosts and gods, the rules are not something I can change!" The first thing you need to do when you enter the school is to follow the rules, not to change them. ”

At this moment, Zhou Tong's shoulders seemed to be weighed down by a thousand catties, but he still said stiffly: "I only say that I don't respect ghosts...... But, didn't say it...... How can you say that you are ungodly...... Disrespectful ...... ghosts and gods"

After speaking, he finally couldn't hold it anymore and knelt down, and the onlookers were in an uproar.

Chu Crazy sighed: "Because of disrespect for ghosts and gods, it is easy to read it!" In short, you are now an entry-level disciple under my Datang Sect, I will teach you the first mental method 'The Way of Being an Official', you go back to practice to the 10th floor first, and come to me." ”

Zhou Yuanwai was pleasantly surprised: "Thank you Master for your support, in the future, my dog will definitely treat my master like my father!" ”

Chu Crazy smiled and said, "Ah don't! I don't want him to treat me like he does to you! ”

Zhou Yuanwai was extremely embarrassed: "There are many defeated mothers, all of them are his mother's temper since she was a child!" I can't control him, so I will implore Master to discipline him strictly! ”

Chu Madsheng haha: "Since everyone outside the staff said so, then I'm welcome, haha~~~"

Zhou Tong was chilled!

……

Jianye Buyu, Wan Sheng and his mother-in-law found the proprietress Mrs. Wang.

The proprietress was surprised: "Yo? Why did the old woman come here in person today? Could it be that you have an opinion about my salary? ”

Granny Wan smiled: "No opinion, I'm old, and I don't need much money, I'm very satisfied with the salary of the owner, but I feel that my eyes are getting worse and worse, and I'm afraid that there are no more years to live, so there is a wish that I can't let go, so I came to the owner to discuss." ”

The proprietress frowned: "What wish?" ”

Granny Wan said: "I have a family handicraft "Splendid Country", I want to make it while my eyes can still use it!" ”

The proprietress was shocked: "The tribute to the palace of the previous dynasty is splendid!" How would you? ”

Even Wan Sheng was secretly surprised, although he didn't know what it was, but it sounded amazing?

Granny Wan smiled: "I'm afraid it won't be in two years!" ”

The proprietress hurriedly said, "Then what do you want?" ”

Granny Wan said: "You need two good silk Ling, 20 bundles of good twisted gold thread, one is woven and sent to the owner, and the other is left to my granddaughter-in-law, so that she can inherit my family craftsmanship from the remaining brocade, Mrs. Wang should know that the embroidery of this brocade is from easy to difficult from shallow to deep, and it is the best embroidery teaching material." (Note: Lingling, the best silk produced in Jiangsu and Zhejiang)

Wan Sheng was shocked, it turned out that my mother-in-law quietly helped me think about my daughter-in-law?

The proprietress was even more shocked: "Daughter-in-law? ”

Granny Wan sighed: "Yes, otherwise my wife will kick her feet, what will I do with my grandson?" You have to leave some property for him to start a family in the future, right? ”

The proprietress came back to her senses: "Ah, yes, why didn't you say it earlier, but you also know that Ling Ling is too precious, very out of stock, and we only have one, or my family finally got it from Yangzhou, you think it's better to start work with one horse first, and then wait for the next horse we are sending?" ”

Granny Wan sighed: "Okay, then this first horse will be given to Mrs. Wang when it is completed." ”

The proprietress smiled: "That being said, we are in business, let's make a contract according to the old rules." Also, Ling Ling is very precious, and if there is a mistake, I am afraid that it will not be able to be compensated by the jade pendant that Granny Wan mortgaged before, so what-"

Granny Wan sighed: "So, Mrs. Wang can only miss the tribute, and miss the opportunity for Lord Wang to soar?" ”

The proprietress was stunned suddenly, and then smiled: "Look at what my mother-in-law said, okay, that's still the old rule......"

After completing the contract, Mrs. Wang specially sent a shopkeeper to carry the precious horse and silk thread out of the door. At this time, there was a lively sound of horns in the direction of the yamen.

Granny Wan sighed with emotion: "Whose family is this to marry a daughter-in-law?" ”

The proprietress said with a smile: "This is the apprenticeship ceremony for the young master of the Zhou family to join the Tang Dynasty Mansion, and the young man of the Zhou family will be regarded as a person of status in the future." ”

Wan Sheng's heart tightened.

After returning home, Wan Sheng asked the words that had been held in his heart: "Mother-in-law, why did only one silk promise her?" ”

The mother-in-law smiled lightly: "Because I only need one." ”

Wan Sheng was stunned and said, "Mother-in-law obviously wants two horses?" ”

The mother-in-law smiled: "This is called asking for a sky-high price, and advancing is retreating." It's like borrowing money, if you open your mouth to someone to borrow 10 yuan, others must be scared not to borrow, so you should change your mouth and only borrow 1 yuan, right? Most of the others will still borrow 1 text, in fact, you only need to borrow 1 text. In the same way, if I only wanted 1 horse, she might not believe in me, and most likely disagreed. But as soon as I opened my mouth and asked for two horses, she would settle down, and only agree to borrow one! ”

Wan Sheng suddenly realized, and then asked: "Isn't my daughter-in-law gone if there is one less horse?" ”

The mother-in-law sighed: "When you practice a splendid country, why do you have no wife?" Okay, the rules of the sect are still required, you now kneel down and kowtow to me twice, one worships the ghosts and gods of heaven and earth, and the other worships the ancestors of the sect. ”

Wan Sheng was stunned and said, "Mother-in-law, what sect are you talking about?" ”

Mother-in-law Zhengse said: "Proud to come to the country daughter village!" Shinong businessmen are all women, fishermen and farmers are all red makeup, the patriarch of the sect, the grandmother of the sect, the sect only accepts female apprentices, and my mother-in-law I was also half a disciple of the daughter village back then, I am not qualified to accept apprentices, and I have broken the rules, so I will accept your two heads. ”

Wan Sheng was stunned when he heard this: "It turns out that my mother-in-law also has a background?" Proud to come to the country? Where? Haven't heard of it? ”

The mother-in-law said angrily: "There are many things you haven't heard of." ”

Wan Sheng had to kneel down and kowtow twice. The mother-in-law nodded: "From now on, you are not a beginner in learning arts, and you can be regarded as a disciple of your daughter's village." Then go boil water, take a shower, and get ready to learn. ”

Daughter village does not enter the male disciples? Wansheng is simply in the clouds......
