The formal apprenticeship took place a day later.
On this day, the iron pot prepared a lot of things.
Chen Yijun and Rong Manli were stunned when they saw the iron pot and the yellow talisman prepared: "Do we still need this?"
"I don't know if others want it, but Tuantuan definitely will."
Chen Yijun waved his fan, seemingly lost in thought.
Rong Manli glanced at Chen Yijun and kicked him directly: "Just say what you have to say, don't look so mysterious."
Chen Yijun said helplessly, "It must be related to Tuantuan's identity."
Upon hearing this, Rong Manli showed a look of sudden realization.
"Oh, right." Chen Yijun thought of something and said slowly, "Let's go back to the capital first and go see that girl Guan Xin. The profits have doubled in the past few months, and they're all from the shops she manages in the capital."
Rong Manyi was quite surprised: "Oh? In that case, Xin'er is indeed very good at doing business. If you want to take her as your goddaughter, I have no objection."
At this point, Rong Manli smiled and said, "I quite like that girl too."
Chen Yijun laughed heartily: "I knew you would like it. After all, whether it's Huanglian or Guanxin, they are both kind-hearted people. Alright, let's get things done when we return to Beijing this time!"
"I'll go tell my parents and godparents first!"
Watching Chen Yijun's departing figure, Rong Manli fell silent for a moment, a complex expression appearing on her face.
He probably really wanted a daughter...
"Second Aunt, what are you thinking about?" Bai Tuantuan looked at Rong Manli with a puzzled expression, reached out and hugged Rong Manli's arm. Her fingers accidentally touched Rong Manli's pulse, and she suddenly paused. "Second Aunt, have you been feeling unwell these days?"
Rong Manli glanced at Bai Tuantuan with a puzzled look and shook her head: "No, I'm just a little tired. I probably didn't sleep well."
Bai Tuantuan smiled and pulled Rong Manli's hand: "Come on, let's go take on apprentices first!"
Seeing the apprenticeship ceremony that the iron pot had set up, Bai Tuantuan stepped forward directly.
Family and friends were all sitting in the seats next to me.
The talisman in Bai Tuantuan's hand burned, and she threw it towards Nannan, who was kneeling in front of her. The next second, the talisman turned into green smoke, and a master-disciple line directly connected Bai Tuantuan and Nannan.
Nannan clearly felt the connection between her body and Bai Tuantuan, and looked up in surprise.
"Master, your disciple Nannan bows to you!"
His childish voice carried a hint of determination.
Bai Tuantuan smiled and helped Nannan up: "From now on, you will be my apprentice. As your master, I will give you a name."
The little girl's eyes lit up.
"Your mother's surname is Xiang, so your given name is Xiang Chaoyang. May your future life be as beautiful as the rising sun, and may you be full of confidence and hope for life..."
The pen in the iron pot's hand suddenly floated in mid-air.
"Xiang Chaoyang, the tenth generation disciple of the Meng family, has completed the ceremony!"
As Tie Guo finished speaking, Xiang Chaoyang's name shone brightly and was written on the family genealogy.
Xiang Chaoyang rushed towards Bai Tuantuan and hugged her tightly, saying, "Master, Master, I will definitely take care of you in the future!"
Bai Tuantuan laughed out loud: "Okay, okay, I'll wait for you to give me all the good food in the future!"
Iron Pot watched the two embrace, then lowered his eyes.
"At least you're happy now, so don't overthink it." The sound of a ladle came from behind. "Besides, Tuantuan has changed now, so perhaps Chaoyang's fate will change too."
Iron Pot sighed softly, and when he looked up again, he had a faint smile on his face: "Alright, the apprenticeship ceremony is over, let's eat!"
"I have some news to announce!" Bai Tuantuan sidled up to Rong Manli. "It's about my second uncle and aunt."
Everyone was taken aback and looked at Bai Tuantuan with a puzzled expression.
"My second aunt is pregnant..."
As soon as Bai Tuantuan finished speaking, a "crackling" sound came from behind.
Looking again, Chen Yijun fell to the ground, got up, and rushed over: "Tuantuan, what did you say?"
Bai Tuantuan's little face was flushed as she looked at Feng Yue: "Grandma and Sister Shikui, come and see."
The two men, one on each side, took Rong Manli's pulse and their faces lit up with surprise: "It's a pregnancy pulse!"
Feng Yue was extremely annoyed: "It's my fault, it's my fault. I didn't even notice that something was wrong with Ali. Quick, quick, sit down."
Chen Yijun chuckled foolishly, causing the other brothers to turn their heads away.
Rong Manli was also shocked; she never expected that she would be pregnant again!
"Second Aunt, don't worry, the baby is fine!" With that, Bai Tuantuan took out a coin and quickly performed a divination. "A good divination! The baby will definitely have a smooth and successful future!"
Chen Yijun finally snapped out of his daze and hugged Rong Manli tightly: "Ali, you're amazing! I have two daughters now!"
"Two daughters?" Bai Tuantuan looked at Chen Yijun in confusion.
Feng Yue smiled broadly and said slowly, "Your second uncle has decided to take Xin'er as his goddaughter, but Xin'er may not agree."
Seeing the smiling faces of her family, Bai Tuantuan felt even better.
Xiang Chaoyang approached Bai Tuantuan and whispered, "Master, what are we going to learn now?"
"No rush. First, learn to read with my mother. I'll give you some books later. You can start the next step when you understand them."
He nodded to Chaoyang.
Ten days after Bai Tuantuan returned, Bai Han and the others decided to return to Beijing.
Only Chen Zhixiu, Bai Tuantuan, Yu Shikui, Xiang Chaoyang, Tieguo, the Green Plum sisters, Qiu'er and the others, and Ruotang remained on the deserted island.
Bai Han and the others were very reluctant to part with Bai Tuantuan, but they knew that Bai Tuantuan had her own things to do, so they had to leave first.
Not long after Bai Han and his group left, news came that the Emperor would send someone to take over the isolated island.
“But this place was clearly built by Tuan Tuan.” Green Plum pouted.
Bai Tuantuan laughed: "It was the Emperor's order that led us to this isolated island. It's alright, you can still stay here, it's just that the management has changed."
Green Plum and the others were naturally unwilling; wherever White Plum went, they went too.
So, the day before the people from the capital arrived, Bai Tuantuan took them directly to her island.
Looking at the island, which resembled a paradise, they were overjoyed even though it was not yet fully developed.
Seven years have passed in the blink of an eye.
"Miss, a letter has arrived from the capital!"
Ruotang's voice startled the young girl who was reading a book.
The girl rose from the chaise lounge, her snow-white skin shining even brighter against the backdrop of her pale yellow dress.
A hint of doubt lingered on her delicate face.
Beneath her long, curled eyelashes were a pair of bright, expressive eyes.
She looked up at Ruotang, and a soft voice came from behind her: "Sister Ruotang, is it a letter from Grandfather?"
Ruotang stared at Bai Tuantuan, momentarily stunned.
Under the sunlight, the girl's appearance was exceptionally beautiful, captivating even someone who had watched her grow up.
"Sister Ruotang?" Bai Tuantuan stood up; at fifteen years old, she was already as tall as Ruotang.
Ruotang snapped out of her reverie and smiled, "Yes, a letter has arrived from the capital. You should go back now."
Bai Tuantuan glanced at the contents of the letter, her naturally red lips curving upwards slightly: "Yes, it's time to go back. After all, there's still Xiao Ruyan in the capital!"
