Chapter 76: Apprenticeship
When the admission list was finally posted, the accepted apprentices were all ecstatic, but when they saw the annual tuition fee of one hundred taels, they were all shocked, which was equivalent to the expenses of an ordinary family of five for four years.
"The tuition fee is too high, the Gaishi Martial Arts Hall is only fifty taels, I want to be crazy for money, right? Fortunately, I didn't get in!" said an unsuccessful apprentice sourly.
"What is the Gaishi Martial Arts Pavilion, even the Thousand Thousand Sects behind him are not as good as our Nanxiang Martial Arts Pavilion, this price is too high, you deserve to find a street performer to apprentice!"
"That's right, this money is really not much, I can accept it completely, but it's a pity that the little cub in the family didn't get in, and whoever can't pay the money can give me the place. ”
"Don't dream, you are poor and rich in martial arts, who wants to learn martial arts from a poor family, will you care about this money?
"Renyi, it's the first time I've heard of a martial arts hall tuition waiver in most of my life, and the master of the Wang Pavilion is really this. The speaker gave a thumbs up.
A simple sentence has won Wang Ke countless praises, and they have praised Wang Ke for his benevolence and righteousness, and his ancient gentlemanly demeanor, as for the outrageously high tuition fees, they have long been ignored by people.
Wang Ke just followed the bursary system in his previous life, but he didn't expect that there would be this unexpected gain, and he was even more proud.
Next is the apprentice into the museum, arranged shifts, naturally it was a busy time, and after everything was done, the Nanxiang Martial Arts Hall ushered in the first opening ceremony after Wang Ke became the owner. Of course, it's called the Apprenticeship Ceremony.
Wang Ke didn't expect that Zhongzhou actually had a school opening ceremony, and it was even more red tape than in his previous life, and it was definitely not just the principal who came to the stage to talk nonsense. Instead, there was a whole set of etiquette requirements, and he only felt that his head was big.
To be honest, Wang Ke didn't want to hold this ceremony at all. One is that he was deeply devastated by various guilds in his previous life, and he has long hated this play, and the other is that since he crossed over, someone will come to kick the gym whenever it is important, and he is somewhat worried in his heart.
It's a pity that this is a tradition of the Nakasu Martial Arts Hall. And it is also the most important one, because those who practice martial arts are the most important teachers. These apprentices worshiped in the Nanxiang Martial Arts Hall, even if Wang Ke did not accept them as apprentices. But it is also his registered disciples, and these apprentices are equivalent to having a teacher, so they attach great importance to it.
Not only the apprentices attach importance to it, but each batch of apprentices in each martial arts hall must make a special event when they enter the museum. and invite guests. Think of this as an important occasion to show your strength.
Therefore, if the apprenticeship ceremony is not held, the apprentices and parents may not agree to the first one, and the head of the hall will not be happy, after all, this is an excellent occasion to show their martial arts.
Therefore, Wang Ke can only be good, but he also repeatedly emphasized that he must be simple and low-key, and only invite the parents of apprentices to come. Just have a random ceremony.
On that day, the apprentices and parents came to the martial arts hall early. Parents naturally sat on the side viewing seats, while the apprentices lined up in the middle of the training ground, waiting for the apprenticeship ceremony to officially begin.
Outside the door of the martial arts hall was a group of people watching the excitement, and seeing that there was no one else at the scene of the apprenticeship, it attracted a whisper.
"This apprenticeship is too simple, it will damage the identity of the owner of the royal pavilion. ”
"That's right, didn't you say that the Gongsun family and the military envoys all had good relations with the lord of the Wang Pavilion, why didn't you see each other?"
"They just saw that the road was uneven, and you really treated Wang Ke as a character when they did?"
"The Lord of the Royal Pavilion is a figure who can defeat the elders of the Thousand Thousand Sects, you didn't see ...... that day"
"Okay, don't say it, hearing is false, seeing is believing! If they really befriend Wang Ke, how can this kind of scene not be?"
Now the most regrettable thing is probably the people sitting inside, who worked hard to enter the Nanxiang Martial Arts Hall, and paid such an expensive tuition, I thought I was looking for a good teacher, but on such an important occasion, there was not even a support, fortunately my boy did not come. ”
After all, not everyone saw Wang Ke's demeanor that day, and when these discordant voices appeared, many people really believed it, and many people felt that it was better not to come today.
The rumors spread into the hall, and the parents who watched the ceremony were also a little unable to sit still, and they all felt that their faces were dull, and then they saw Wang Ke sitting there like no one, quietly looking at the sundial.
Wang Ke looked at the time, and the auspicious time was about to come, so he walked up to the temporary apprenticeship platform, and was just about to open his mouth to announce the official start of the opening ceremony, but he heard a shout from outside the door: "Wait first!"
Wang Ke thought that who was kicking the hall again, and turned his head to look only to find that Tie Bi walked in from outside the door with several hall owners he had met last time, and Tie Bi also said: "Brother Wang, wait for us to come in and start the ceremony." ”
"Brother Tie, the hall masters, it's just a small apprenticeship, and a few relatives came, Wang Ke is really ashamed, don't blame him for missing the distance. Wang Ke said.
"Brother is polite, we have to let you bear with us if we are not invited. Come on, come on, everyone sit down. Tie Bi greeted him as if he were at home.
Someone in the crowd outside the door said: "See, it's not that you didn't come, it's that the owner of the Wang Pavilion didn't invite at all!"
"Come on, who doesn't know that Tiebi's son is so stupid that no one wants to teach him, so he can only send it here, these people are just brought by him to help save face, otherwise why don't you see other martial arts hall owners coming?"
As soon as this person's voice fell, the crowd behind him was noisy again, and when he looked back, it was Gao Deyang of the Gaishi Martial Arts Pavilion who squeezed over with dozens of hall owners, and as soon as he entered the door, he said: "Pavilion Master Wang, we are late, don't blame you." ”
Except for Gao Deyang, Wang Ke almost didn't know any of these people, but they couldn't rush out when they came to celebrate, so they had to greet them with a smile, and invited them to sit down at the viewing table.
As soon as they sat down, they heard another shout from outside the door, it turned out that Liang Bufan came to celebrate with a few darts from the mighty dart bureau, and Wang Ke could only bring someone to greet him. He also deliberately glanced at Jiang Zhen, this apprentice's eyes were burning with hatred, but he still pretended to be indifferent like everyone else, and he couldn't help but shake his head secretly in his heart.
Almost all the martial arts hall owners and folk firsts in Songjiang came one after another, which made the doubts just now much quieter, but there were still people who said disdainfully: "But so, when is it not the case in the Gaishi Martial Arts Pavilion, even the deputy envoy of the military jurisdiction can be invited." ”
At this moment, a gong sounded from behind, followed by a shout of "respect, avoid", and the crowd immediately separated one way, but it was the chief officials of the three major yamen of Songjiang Prefecture, Zheng Yuan, the military envoy, Dong Bida, the prefect, Li Mingbiao, the chief soldier, and the big and small officials of the military jurisdiction department came together.
Before they could reach the gate of the martial arts hall, the crowd on the opposite side made another way, and Gongsun Yuanming rode a tall horse and showed up with his three children. (To be continued.) )
