Chapter 112: Apprenticeship Ceremony
Finally, after Zhang Nan and Du Ruhui agreed to put the ceremony of apprenticeship for three days, Du Ruhui took Du He back to his mansion first, while Zhang Nan began to think about who he should sacrifice to as the ancestor who traveled through time.
In the end, Zhang Nan selected the best time traveler from many time travelers to be the ancestor of his sect.
In ancient times, it was not an exaggeration to say that it was as important as marriage, otherwise how could there be a saying of "master". Of course, Zhang Nan felt that Zhang Nan was not very willing to do this "son" who was similar to his age inexplicably.
Because from a historical perspective, Du He is a little expert in cheating his father, brother and prince. Although he wants to do something by himself, it turns out that there are still big problems.
Du He's apprenticeship meeting, or Zhang Nan's apprenticeship meeting, spread throughout the entire top aristocratic circle of the Tang Dynasty. The main reason is that there are famous playboys in the entire Tang Dynasty who want to worship the popular saints and cling to the founding county within a month. For ancient times, when entertainment was scarce, this was also a good topic of conversation after dinner.
Time soon came to the time for the apprenticeship. Zhang Nan was also a rare and serious one. He did not wear casual clothes, but put on traditional Tang suits. After all, it was a very important occasion. According to the news that Zhang Nan heard in three days, for this apprenticeship, Du Ruhui posted a wide invitation and invited his friends to watch the ceremony.
In fact, the ceremony of apprenticeship is just a matter for the two masters and apprentices. It may be because Du Ruhui was really happy that his second son, the prodigal son, turned around, or it may be because he thought that Zhang Nan, who was talented, was willing to be his son's teacher. Du Ruhui changed his past diligence and feasting, but instead, it was a big banquet for guests, proving that Du Ruhui's view of this apprenticeship is still very important.
On the day of the apprenticeship ceremony, Zhang Nan brought his own preparations and came to Du's mansion in advance. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Du He walking around the yard like a new son-in-law. When Du He saw Zhang Nan coming, he quickly met him.
"Master Zhang, it's so early." Du He said with a smile.
"Qinglian, I don't think you're wearing today, you're going to be a disciple." Zhang Nan also said with a smile.
As soon as he heard Zhang Nan say that he had something to wear, Du He immediately changed his face. "Master Zhang, is there something wrong with my clothes? Why don't I change one now?"
Seeing Du He so seriously, Zhang Nan could only say in his heart: "I really don't have a sense of humor."
"No, I mean, Qinglian, you don't look like you are here to become a disciple today, but rather like a new son-in-law, which is so grand." Zhang Nan said with a smile.
When Du He heard Zhang Nan say this, he breathed a sigh of relief. Just when he was about to say something, Du Ruhui came to the front of the two.
"Qingquan, it's so early." Du Ruhui walked up and said.
"Hey, it's not too early or too early. After all, it's a big deal. This is also my first time to accept an apprentice. Be careful." Zhang Nan said.
Seeing Zhang Nan being so concerned about this apprenticeship, Du Ruhui nodded with satisfaction and said, "Qingquan is intent, but Qingquan doesn't have to be nervous. I invite people who are familiar with Qingquan, so you can just treat it as a banquet."
"I'm relieved to say that, Lord Du." Zhang Nan smiled.
"Come on, Qingquan, come in and talk, don't stand here, come and taste the newly bought tea I have. Let me tell you, I really prefer this one." Du Ruhui said, and then welcomed Zhang Nan into the hall.
When it was almost time for the apprenticeship ceremony, the bigwigs who sent the invitations to Du Ruhui came to the door one after another. As the master, Du Ruhui pulled Du He to the door to greet him, while Zhang Nan sat in the hall, quietly waiting for the start of the apprenticeship ceremony.
"Oh, Keming, congratulations, I found a good teacher for Qinglian, the talent of Qingquan, I am also very envious. Hey, it's a pity that my son, eh." As soon as Fang Xuanling entered the Du Mansion, he bowed his hand to congratulate. After saying goodbye, Fang Xuanling remembered his son and couldn't help but sigh.
"Hey, why is Brother Xuanling like this? I think Yi Ai is much better than a dog son." Du Ruhui smiled.
"Hey, Qinglian is now a prodigal son. Let's look at my incompetent son. Hey, let's not talk about it. Today's happy day, let's not talk about these, Keming, you'll be busy first, I'll go to Qingquan to talk to see if he still lacks students." Fang Xuanling was still worried about his son Fang Yiai.
Thinking back to the time, his son Fang Yiai and Du Ruhui's son Du He, they were notorious in Chang'an City, but now, Du He's prodigal son has turned around and not only learned to be considerate of his parents, but also wanted to do something by himself. On the other hand, his son still wanders around the streets and alleys of Chang'an City every day, which is really a misfortune for his family.
As soon as Fang Xuanling entered Du's mansion, two loud voices came from outside the door.
"Keming, was your son so stupid that he actually thought of becoming a disciple, and even looking for Qingquan to become a disciple. To be honest, is this your idea?" Cheng Yaojin heard the voice before he saw him.
"By the way, I think it must be Keming's idea. Keming, he is really good at making decisions and planning." Yuchi Gong said in a rare manner that he agreed with Cheng Yaojin.
"As the saying goes, the prodigal son will not change his gold. Are you, the elders of Qinglian, still unwilling to see Qinglian turn from evil to justice?" Du Ruhui said with a smile.
"How could you be unhappy? Qinglian, you have to study hard with your master in the future. You can learn half of your master. Uncle Cheng, I will guarantee you that you will definitely have a place in the officialdom of the Tang Dynasty in the future." Cheng Yaojin said.
"I thank Uncle Cheng for being proud of his admiration. Qinglian did a lot of wrong things in the past, but now I think about it, I feel very ashamed."
"Hey, it's great to correct your mistakes." Yuchi Gong patted Du He's shoulder.
Several people stood at the door and greeted each other. Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Gong also entered the Du Mansion to discuss the matters of this military academy with Zhang Nan.
Afterwards, Changsun Wuji, Li Xiaogong, Li Jing, Gao Shilian, Xiao Yu and others all came to Du Ruhui's mansion. Basically, Du Ruhui invited the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion. It seems that Du Ruhui still attaches great importance to his son, at least he has earned enough money from inside and outside.
