Volume 1 Chapter 510: Apprenticeship Ceremony

Sheng Wanyan also breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Uncle Hu didn't mind.

Uncle Hu has been through all kinds of ups and downs, how could he not know what she is thinking?

This is a child who values ​​friendship and loyalty, and I treat her as my own child. How could I not be happy that she can have a better future?

He hoped that Sheng Wanyan could learn more so that she could be noticed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and hired in advance.

Sheng Wanyan's worries disappeared, and she began to enter a very rich study life.

Sheng Wanyan looked at the study plan prepared by Mr. Zhao himself. The study plan was very detailed and it was obvious that a lot of thought had been put into it.

I'm afraid Mr. Zhao has already started making preparations. Sheng Wanyan smiled helplessly and started studying according to this plan.

Gu Tingxiao will return to Bingcheng in the middle of next month, so he can be left to take care of the house for the next month.

The family of three divided the work and worked together, and soon the day for the apprenticeship ceremony arrived.

Mr. Zhao attached great importance to it and invited many of his old friends and students. When Sheng Wanyan and her family of three arrived, there were many people at Mr. Zhao's house.

Mr. Zhao lived in the staff quarters of Peking University. His children were all talented in the translation field. When they learned that their father was going to accept a disciple, they hurried back.

No one expected that Mr. Zhao, at his age, could still find a disciple who suited his taste.

Before, everyone thought that this was the end of him and that he would never be able to become a closed disciple in this life. Every time a younger generation with good language talent came to recommend themselves, he would refuse in an official tone.

But not long after that, he notified everyone to attend the apprenticeship ceremony, saying that he had a closed disciple.

And it was a girl, everyone was so surprised.

Naturally, Mr. Zhao’s old friends and students attach great importance to such a major event, and his last disciple is like a member of his family.

Sheng Wanyan was carrying a lot of gifts for becoming a disciple. When she arrived at Mr. Zhao's residence, there were quite a few people standing in the yard.

When the master's wife saw her coming, she immediately came over with a smile and took her in. Sheng Wanyan had been here once or twice before and was already very familiar with Master's wife Zhao.

"Yan'er, come in quickly."

"Master's wife."

Mrs. Zhao was a very kind old lady, and she was very good at making pastries. Every time Sheng Wanyan came, she couldn't help but eat a few more pieces.

"This is your husband and daughter, right?"

"Yes, this is my husband Gu Tingxiao and my daughter Gu Jinsheng, nicknamed Yiyi."

"Hello, Master~"

Yi Yi clenched his little fists and placed them on his chest, calling people obediently, and his little appearance was very cute.

"Oh~ Good, good, good boy."

Mrs. Zhao reached out and rubbed Yi Yi's chubby face. It felt so good!

Sheng Wanyan handed the gift she brought to Master Zhao's wife: "Master's wife, this is the gift I brought as a disciple, please accept it."

When Mrs. Zhao heard that it was a gift for becoming a disciple, she did not refuse. It was all courtesy.

"Okay, okay, you're thoughtful."

"Come, grandma made some delicious cakes. I'll take you to eat them."

Mrs. Zhao bent down and held Yi Yi's little hand. She was so happy. She just liked children. The home would be more lively with more children.

"Okay~"

Yi Yi very obediently held her hand and went to eat cakes. Now that Mr. Zhao's great-grandchildren had returned, Yi Yi could have some company.

"You go in and sit down. Your master is inside."

"There are some old friends in there, you can go and get to know them all."

"Don't worry, I'm here, kid."

Mrs. Zhao took her hand and gave her a few instructions, and Sheng Wanyan smiled and nodded.

Sheng Wanyan walked into the house. There were many old men sitting in the house, and their eyes were full of shrewdness.

These are the diplomats who once made great strides in international conferences.

"master."

Sheng Wanyan went over to say hello, and when Mr. Zhao saw her coming, he immediately stood up and introduced her to everyone.

"Come, come, let me introduce you. This is my last disciple, Sheng Wanyan."

Everyone looked at her with a curious look, and Sheng Wanyan greeted the elders gracefully.

"Hello, elders. I am Sheng Wanyan, and I hope you will give me more guidance in the future."

"Yan'er!?"

Before anyone could say anything, a very unbelievable voice came from the crowd.

Sheng Wanyan looked over and saw that it was Grandma Gu.

Grandma Gu couldn't believe that her third grandson's wife was actually the last disciple of her old friend.

"grandmother."

Sheng Wanyan hurried to support her. Grandma Gu was deeply moved. This third grandson's wife was so outstanding that she was even chosen by her old friend.

"You guys...know each other?"

Mr. Zhao looked at the two of them, and Grandma Gu quickly introduced them to everyone.

"See, I forgot the introductions."

"This is my third grandson's wife, and that's my third grandson."

When Grandma Gu said this, not only was Mr. Zhao surprised, but all the elderly people present were also very surprised.

"What! Is this your granddaughter-in-law?"

"Yes! It's mine!"

Grandma Gu raised her head with pride, not to mention how proud she was of it.

Everyone, look at me and I look at you. She is your own granddaughter-in-law, why don’t you accept her as your last disciple?

Now, the former minister’s closed disciple is the granddaughter-in-law of the former deputy minister.

This is really a perfect match. They are still so close even after retirement.

"Ah! What a coincidence!"

Mrs. Zhao was playing with the children at home. When she heard about such a great fate, she couldn't help but sigh.

"Old sister, we will be closer from now on."

"That's right, we are even closer than before."

Grandma Gu and Mrs. Zhao are old sisters. They were classmates and college roommates when they were young.

The two old sisters have basically never been separated. Mrs. Zhao married Mr. Zhao, and Mr. Zhao and Grandma Gu are colleagues.

Now Sheng Wanyan has become Mr. Zhao’s last disciple, and a last disciple is as close as his own child.

"Hahahahaha! Great, great, let's make it even closer."

Mr. Zhao was overjoyed when he heard the news. Now they were all family, and the child's future was secure.

"This is your third child. He has grown so big now."

"When he was little, he was still a little kid."

Mrs. Zhao was also moved when she saw Gu Tingxiao. When Gu Tingxiao was a child, he often followed Grandma Gu to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but she hadn't seen her since he grew up.

I only heard that he went to serve in the army and rarely returned to Kyoto.

"Yes, this is the third brother."

"The two children are destined to be together."

Mrs. Zhao smiled when she said this. She could see that the grandson of the Gu family really cared for her old man's closed disciple.

Even though they didn't get married at the beginning, they still know each other through Mr. Zhao and Grandma Gu.

This is fate, a fate predestined by heaven. People who are meant to be together will be together sooner or later.

Mr. Zhao took Sheng Wanyan to introduce his family's children and students. Mr. Zhao has four children, two sons and two daughters.

"This is my eldest son Zhao Yuzhong, my second son Zhao Yuxin, my third daughter Zhao Yuer, and my fourth daughter Zhao Yushuang."

The four children of Mr. Zhao are of the same generation as Mr. Gu. If we follow the seniority, Sheng Wanyan has to call them uncle and aunt.
