Chapter 31 Finally, I have to worship

At the age of Master Nian, who has no children and a half around him, what he admires most is a filial son like Yang Liulang. Yang Liulang's words moved him very much, and also made him very jealous of Yang Dazhu, jealous of him for having such a pair of clever and sensible children.

Master Nian's slightly bitter jealousy was keenly perceived by Yuer, so Xiao Yuer deliberately said with a naive face, "Master Nian, if you accept my sixth brother as an apprentice, he will definitely honor you as much as my father. As long as Master Nian is my sixth brother's master, Yuer will also be filial to you together! "

Yuer's words happened to speak to the master's mind, so he followed Yuer's words and asked, "Six boy, would you like to treat me as your biological father as your sister said?"

Yang Liulang has read books for several years and also understood some of the principles of life from the book. Therefore, as soon as Master Nian asked, he answered seriously: "The ancients often said that 'one day is a teacher and a father for life'. His little nephew strongly agrees with this. If his little nephew is lucky enough to learn from Master Nian, he will treat Master Nian as his father. Filial piety."

"Good! What I want to accept is an apprentice like you!"

Master Nian first patted the table with an excited face and praised, and then turned to Yang Dazhu and said, "Brother Yang, to tell you the truth, I have always wanted to accept an apprentice who can recognize me as my father. Naturally, such an apprentice naturally has to find the kind of fatherless and motherless. Only when he has no father or mother can he treat me as filial as his own father. No? With this younger generation, after I return for a hundred years, someone will wear filial piety for me and send me to the end.

Master Nian suddenly said this heartfelt words, which immediately made his anger a little depressing. Yang Dazhu clumsily and comforted him, "Master Nian, why do you bother to say such a thing? You..."

Before Yang Dazhu finished his words, Master Nian waved his hand and asked him not to say any more, and said with a self-deprecating face, "Brother Yang, you don't have to find words to comfort me. I know my situation. This is also the reason why I refused you and did not want to accept six children as apprentices before."

"I used to think that the six boy had a good father like you. If he really became my apprentice, he would only treat me as a master and would not sincerely filially me as a master, but the six boy's filial piety just changed my mind..."

It turned out that the master did not want to accept Yang Liulang as an apprentice before, but he thought that Yang Liulang only wanted to learn art and did not want to live with him. Because Yang Liulang's parents were together and the family was happy, he thought that Yang Liulang could not meet the requirements of the apprentice he wanted.

However, after listening to Yang Liulang's words, the master learned that he had been made difficult for him without complaint and wanted to repay his father's kindness. This filial piety deeply infected Master Nian and made him understand the simplest truth - since Yang Liulang was so filial to his father, how could he not be filial to teach him in the future. What?

From another perspective, if Yang Liulang knows the meaning of Master Nian, in order to learn Master Nian's craftsmanship, he will break away from the father-son relationship with Yang Dazhu and recognize Master Nian as his father without saying a word. Such a ruthless and righteous Yang Liulang, does Master Nian dare to expect him to be filial to himself in the future?

So it was Yang Liulang's own filial piety that changed the mind of Master Nian, which made him completely change his original intention and made up his mind to take Yang Liulang as an apprentice!

After making up his mind, Master Nian deliberately raised his face and said in a familiar tone, "Since you are willing to filial piety as my helpless old man as your biological father in the future, I reluctantly accept you as an apprentice and teach you all the skills I have learned in my life. You will definitely take painstakingly in the future. Study hard and practice hard.

This sudden joy made the three fish suddenly stunned and looked at each other frequently. It seemed that they could not believe that they had been making things difficult for Yang Liulang. Suddenly, they completely changed their attitude and generously agreed to accept the apprentice... This good news came too suddenly! Didn't the master say that he would only accept fatherless people as apprentices?

The stunnedness of the fish made Master Nian deliberately sink his face with dissatisfaction and said, "What's wrong? Don't you want to?"

Master Nian's words made the three fish come to their senses quickly. Yuer was afraid that Master Nian would suddenly change his mind or come up with some strange ways to make things difficult for Yang Liulang, so she answered first: "Yes, yes, we are willing!"

"Since you are willing, why don't you let the six boy kowtow to toast tea for me quickly," Master Nian said and raised his eyebrows and joked with a smile, "My apprentice is too incompetent, right? I don't know how to please the master. If he doesn't please my master, I will hide my selfishness and not teach him everything I have learned in my life! If you can't learn all my skills, you may not earn the capital to marry a wife..."

The words of the iron-faced master made the three fish open their mouths wide and stunned again, and the fish suddenly had the impulse to laugh -- this year's master and New Year's father-in-law actually had a sense of humor! He will also threaten Yang Liulang to please him with "can't earn his wife"!

The fish held back for a long time before she resisted the impulse of laughing. After she resisted the impulse, she found that Yang Liulang had already made tea for Master Nian. Yang Liulang did not immediately bring it to respect Master Nian, but first held the basket brought by Yang Dazhu with a red thread in his hand and followed the rules. He knelt in front of the master.

After Yang Liulang raised the basket high and presented it to the master, he said according to the rules of worshiping the teacher: "Please accept the little nephew as an apprentice. The little nephew will study hard in the future to carry forward the master's unique skills and will raise the master as a father until his old age."

In southern Fujian, teachers must first kneel in front of the master with the worship service, kneel down, and then present the worship service with both hands. If the master is willing to accept the teacher, he will receive the worship service in the basket tied with a red line. After the master receives the worship service, the person who comes to worship the teacher can continue the following worship ceremony.

This year, the master has tested Yang Liulang so many times. Naturally, as soon as Yang Liulang finished speaking according to the rules, he reached out to receive the teacher's salute. He didn't care what was in the basket and directly put the basket aside.

Seeing that Master Nian accepted the teacher's worship, Yang Liulang quickly brought over the tea cup that had been prepared on the table, raised his hands high and held the tea to the top of his head. He slowly sent it to Master Nian and said, "Apprentice Yang Youzu, thank the tea to the master."

As soon as Master Nian heard it, he knew that this "Yang Youzu" was Yang Liulang's serious name. After remembering the name in his heart, he reached out to take Yang Liulang's tea, opened the tea lid and took a sip, indicating that he had received Yang Liulang's tea. Then Master Nian put the tea on the table and looked at Yang Liulang with bright eyes, waiting for his next ceremony.

Yang Liulang knew that it was time to kowtow to the master after the tea ceremony, so he immediately bowed his hands on the ground and respectfully kowtowed to Master Nian three times. After kowtowed, he officially shouted: "Master..."

"Good boy, the ground is cool, get up quickly!"

This affectionate "master" made Master Nian's eyes red in an instant, and the look on his face was more like an old treasure. Yang Liulang's respect from his bones made Master Nian take the initiative to sit down and help him up with his own hands... After worshiping and helping him, from now on, they will be masters and apprentices who depend on each other. Two.

Yang Liulang is really a filial child. After worshipping his teacher, he took the initiative to say to Yang Dazhu, "Dad, the master lives here alone, and there is no one to take care of him on weekdays. The child wants to stay at the master's house while learning from the master and taking care of the master's daily life. What do you think?"

Yang Dazhu knew more about Master Nian's situation and what Master Nian was most eager than Yang Liulang, so he nodded repeatedly and said, "It should, it should be, this apprentice should have been by the master, otherwise how can he learn it well? Six boy, go home and pack some clothes, and live here with Master Nian in the future. When you are free, you can go home more often to see your mother and brother and sister.

The fish beside her also sincerely wanted to make Master Nian happy again, so after listening to Yang Dazhu's words, she immediately pulled the corner of Yang Dazhu's clothes and asked "Father, now that the master is the sixth brother's master, so will we be a family in the future?"

Yang Dazhu was stunned at first. After coming to his senses, he immediately scraped off the bridge of the fish's nose happily and replied, "Yes, our sister is right. The master and we will be a family this year! Master Nian loves our sister so much. When Amei grows up, she has to be filial with your sixth brother.

"Well, when the fish grows up, she will definitely be filial to her father and mother, be filial to the master, and be kind to a few brothers!" Yuer pretended to pat his chest and guaranteed that the appearance of the little man made Yang Dazhu and others laugh. Of course, in addition to laughing, Master Nian was also moved a little more.

After pretending to liven up the atmosphere in the room, the fish continued to say, "Brother Six, you should often take Master Nian to our house to play! In this way, our family can be more lively!"

"Okay, our sister sent a message, how dare the sixth brother not obey?"

"Hee, the fish knows that the sixth brother loves the fish the most..."

So in the laughter of Yu'er and Yang Liulang, Yang Liulang's learning from his teacher finally came to a perfect prelude. After that, Yang Liulang lived in Master Nian's house and wholeheartedly followed Master Nian to learn his skills.

After the Yang family lost a few people, various expenses were relatively less, and it was barely possible to maintain the normal expenditure of the family, so the family's life returned to its previous calm and stability.

The Fang family did not feel guilty after seeing Yang Liulang being sent away. She got along with the big family with a smile every day as if nothing had happened, and she still took advantage of all kinds of opportunities. The big housekeepers of the Yang family took these in their eyes and just looked at them. I'm too lazy to care about Yang Erzhu's face.
