Xie Yunjiao had just gotten up when she saw a few more people standing at her door. She stood there like a log, not knowing how much time had passed.
Seeing Xie Yunjiao, Yang Shengshan waved to her with joy: "You're finally up. Do you know how long we've been waiting for you?"
Xie Yunjiao glanced at Yang Shengshan and said, "Just tell me what's wrong with you again."
"I say, you really have to thank me this time," said Yang Shengshan.
Lord Xu really couldn't wait any longer. He didn't want to wait for Xie Yunjiao and Yang Shengshan to chat about family matters, so he asked directly where the child who was painting was.
Yang Shengshan winked at Xie Yunjiao, hinting to her that this was a good thing.
Xie Yunjiao thought that Lord Xu and Yang Shengshan were both men, and Gu Huai and Ye Baien had gone out to the mountains to practice martial arts, so she did not invite them into the house but moved two stools in the yard for them to sit down.
Then I made tea for them and went to wake Doudou up.
After drinking a cup of hot tea, Yang Shengshan and Xu Daren felt like they were alive again.
Yang Shengshan didn't understand why Lord Xu looked so anxious just now, but when he arrived at the door of Gu's house and saw that the yard was quiet, he didn't let him wake up Xie Yunjiao and the others, but waited outside for a while.
He looked around the yard again and again, and finally stared at the two squealing little pigs in a daze.
If they hadn't seen Xie Yunjiao get up, they didn't know how long they would have to stand in front of the door as punishment.
It is spring now, and the sun has not yet come out, so the countryside is shrouded in fog. If you stand outside for a while, your hair will be wet by the fog.
After a while, Xie Yunjiao came over with two children.
Mr. Xu asked who painted the painting, and Doudou said it was him.
Lord Xu's expression began to get excited. He asked, "Would you be willing to be my apprentice?"
This child is so talented and has such good painting skills at such a young age. If he is well trained, I am afraid that his future achievements cannot be underestimated.
I thought this trip would be in vain, but I didn’t expect to meet this child at the last moment!
This is simply God helping him!
"I already have a master. Master Peng is my master." Doudou said.
Lord Xu's attendants couldn't help but get anxious: "What are you talking about, kid? How can our master compare with others? Our master is a Hanlin Academy Hanlin, with a special status. He has only accepted one disciple so far, and you are his second disciple. This is the highest honor."
Lord Xu did not stop his follower because what he said was true.
He has only accepted one disciple in all this time, Yan Qing, the eldest son of the Yan family in the capital.
He was born into a prominent family and was proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and his painting skills were even more amazing.
He achieved such success by becoming a disciple of Lord Xu.
Who in the capital city doesn't envy Yan Qing's unique identity?
Now Lord Xu has lowered his status and come to the door in person to accept him as a disciple. However, Gu Jue is so ungrateful that he says he already has a master. Isn't he stupid?
"But I really like studying with Master Peng and don't want to leave here," said Doudou.
Because he heard that Lord Xu came from the capital and would be returning to the capital soon.
He was afraid of having to follow Lord Xu back to the capital, so he said that.
He doesn't want to leave his mother, father and other people!
Lord Xu understood Doudou's meaning and said, "Sages have no permanent teachers. If you accept me as your disciple, I will not impose too much control on you, nor will I require you to follow me to the capital. You only need to send your practice paintings to the capital every month for me to see, so that I know you are practicing diligently."
Lord Xu really likes Doudou and he doesn't want to waste such a talented person.
As long as Doudou is willing to continue practicing painting, everything else will be easy.
Doudou was still thinking about it. He felt that it was not that easy.
He looked at Xie Yunjiao and called out softly, "Mother."
The attendant looked at Doudou and couldn't help shaking his head, thinking that the child was too young and didn't understand what it meant to become the master's disciple.
That's fame, countless fame!
The master has only accepted one disciple so far, so if Yan Qing is willing, he can roam around the capital.
Young Master Yan's family is well-off, so there's no need for him to use the master's name to show off.
But this Gu Jue is different. He comes from a poor family. If he becomes the master's disciple, he will save a lot of trouble. It will be a great opportunity to make a breakthrough and bring honor to his family!
"Madam Gu, you have to persuade your young master well." said the attendant.
Xie Yunjiao smiled at her attendants, then said to Doudou, "Doudou, don't be nervous. Follow your heart. If you like it, then agree. If you don't like it, then don't agree."
Anyway, the painting has been given away and has received recognition, so Doudou is very happy.
As long as Doudou is happy, she will be happy too.
The rest is not important.
He is still so young and has many opportunities to learn.
Although, she really wants Doudou to seize this opportunity.
"I like painting, mother, and I want to become your disciple. If I don't have to go to the capital to study, I'm willing to do so."
Master Xu smiled happily. He asked Doudou to serve him a cup of tea, which meant he had accepted this good disciple.
But he said that if Doudou went to the capital in the future, he would hold a big banquet and tell everyone that he had accepted a new good apprentice.
Xie Yunjiao said let’s talk about this later.
Knowing that Lord Xu had a tight schedule this time and couldn't stay long, Xie Yunjiao gave all the dry food in the house to Lord Xu so that he could eat while he was on the road.
When the followers saw the bulging bags of dry food, they were filled with disdain, thinking that this was all this country woman could offer.
"If you don't mind, these are brushes I made from wild wolf hair, and some homemade ink sticks. Please accept them."
Lord Xu's followers wondered what good things Xie Yunjiao could come up with, such as brushes and ink sticks. Their master already had the best ones and had no use for the things Xie Yunjiao gave him.
Unexpectedly, Lord Xu thanked them and happily accepted the gifts.
This was a sincere gift from his little apprentice's mother, so he was naturally very happy to accept it.
"Master, let me take these things and put them away." said the attendant.
Unexpectedly, Lord Xu regarded them as treasures and was unwilling to let others take care of them.
He carried them all the way back to the capital, placed them in his study like treasures, and didn't let anyone touch them.
He did not use the pen and ink stick that Xie Yunjiao gave him. Instead, he placed them on his antique shelf like treasures, and placed them in the most conspicuous position.
"Go tell Yan Qing that I have accepted a young apprentice."
The follower thought to himself that this master really valued this young disciple who had not yet formally become his disciple, and even informed Young Master Yan.
It seems that the master's decision to take Gu Jue as his apprentice is a done deal.
