Chapter 57: A Gift of No Small Importance (1 update)

Sang Yian was very confident in the gift she had chosen.

Especially after receiving so many red envelopes, she was even more grateful that she had been busy for so long last night and finally selected a few suitable ones, otherwise she would not be worthy of the red envelopes and gifts she received today.

Moreover, so many colleagues, old friends, and fellow apprentices of her master were here. If her gift was ordinary, wouldn’t her master be laughed at? Although she

and Zhao Xuhuai had only established the master-disciple relationship today, she had already been practicing with the live broadcast more than two months ago.

She still respected Zhao Xuhuai very much.

Naturally, she didn’t want him to lose face because of her.

How could Zhao Xuhuai know that his little apprentice would think so much.

Luo Zhengtian watched Lu Zhiyao and a staff member carry up six gift boxes wrapped in exquisite wrapping paper, and walked around these colorful gift boxes.

"Old Zhao, this apprenticeship gift from your last disciple is really lively."

People who have been waiting to see the excitement also gathered around, "It's really lively, I haven't seen an apprenticeship gift so fancy."

"Well, it looks a bit like the gift my grandson gave when he was courting a girl. Look at the packaging, how thoughtful it is!"

"I really put a lot of effort into it. Every Teachers' Day, I can put a row of such exquisite gift boxes on my desk."

Luo Qingying looked at Sang Yian, "You didn't treat the apprenticeship gift as a Teachers' Day gift, did you?"

Sang Yian was not an insider and didn't understand many rules. She was puzzled, "Is there any difference here?"

She was a little uncertain and looked at Zhao Xuhuai, "Master, is there a saying that the apprenticeship gift is owed? If what I gave is not suitable, I will make it up next time?"

Zhao Xuhuai waved his hand casually, "No, no, your uncles and aunts just want to see the excitement. What's so particular about the apprenticeship gift?"

"These are all the disciples' good intentions. Whatever they give is what they deserve. Don't you know that Professor Huang has also received blessings from disciples for peace and happiness?"

An energetic old lady on the side said proudly, "My disciple is worried about my health! This is a good wish!"

Everyone immediately agreed, "Yes, yes, yes! These are all the disciples' filial piety."

Seeing this, Sang Yian was relieved. These people were open-minded and would not care about these material things.

Only Luo Qingying on the side remained silent. A broken blessing was enough. It was not worth 50 yuan. What was there to show off?

"Let me see what's in this fancy gift box and see if there is any new fun!"

Professor Huang said, pointing directly to a small rectangular box on the top, signaling Zhao Xuhuai to open it quickly.

It was the first time that Zhao Xuhuai received such a colorful gift box. It was indeed a little girl. Only a little girl could give such a bright gift.

He used a small blade to peel off the wrapping paper bit by bit along the fold of the package. This was a gift from his apprentice. He had to keep it well and keep it as a souvenir!

The wrapping paper was not an ordinary gift box, but a long rosewood box with a luster.

Zhao Xuhuai breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he did not directly draw two ×s on the wrapping paper and tear it violently. Otherwise, who knows if he would use too much force and leave two irreparable scratches on the wooden box!

He felt scared when he thought about it, "You stupid kid, why didn't you tell me earlier? If I cut it with a knife, the box will be destroyed! If such a good box is destroyed, it will be a waste!"

The stupid kid Sang Yian: "..."

"No, why don't you just take this rosewood box? Why do you have to wrap it in a fancy wrapping paper?"

Zhao Xuhuai was puzzled.

Sang Yian was also puzzled, "Shouldn't gifts be wrapped beautifully? If it's not wrapped beautifully and a flower is put in it, it's too careless, right? When I was in school, I gave gifts to teachers every Teacher's Day like this."

Zhao Xuhuai looked at her serious expression and doubted his life. Is the generation gap between them really that big?

Wouldn't a rosewood box look more formal and more prestigious without some beautiful wrapping paper?

He opened the box directly, and inside was a Zhuge brush, made of purple hair, which is the most precious type of Xuan brush.

Zhao Xuhuai was extremely surprised, "You kid, this Zhuge brush is so precious, how can you give it away so casually!"

"Oh! Good guy! It's really a Zhuge brush! The authentic ancient Zhuge brush, the quality can't be compared with those produced uniformly by machines."

Professor Huang supported his neck to look forward and praised subconsciously.

"Let me see, let me see, I haven't used a real Zhuge brush yet!"

The person who said this was President Liang, the current president of the Calligraphy Association, who is very lively and a real Internet addict.

He has a Zhuge brush, which was a gift from his master when he became his apprentice. He was reluctant to use it.

"The tip of the brush is like a cone, the tip hair is even, the root of the brush is round and full, and the hair is evenly covered. It is indeed a real Zhuge brush."

​​President Liang's eyes lit up, and he wanted to take the Zhuge brush home directly.

Even Luo Zhengtian on the side was a little envious of Zhao Xuhuai, "What kind of luck did you have to get such a caring little apprentice!"

Zhao Xuhuai was so proud, he was really happy physically and mentally, but after admiring it, he still put the brush into the box.

"I am very touched by your filial piety, but you may not know how precious this kind of ancient brush is now. It is hard to find one now."

"You don't know that your uncle Tang has always wanted a Zhuge brush. On his birthday, his apprentice would spend a lot of money to buy Xuan brushes from various places every year, but every time they were fake."

"Your uncle Tang has told him many times not to search for it anymore, but the apprentice is very stubborn and still insists on giving it to me. I don't know how much money he has put into it!"

Tang Guoxuan glanced at him and said, "Old Zhao, you can do it now! Don't expose people's shortcomings. Besides, my apprentice just has a poor vision, but then again, failure is the mother of success. With more experience, he will accumulate experience."

Zhao Xuhuai didn't continue to talk about this and handed the small wooden box to Sang Yian, "This is too expensive. Be obedient and take it back for your own use. You don't have to keep it."

Sang Yian raised his hand to tidy up the hair around his ears, feeling a little embarrassed, "Maybe it's not that valuable. If I take it back, I might not be able to keep any of my apprenticeship gifts today."

"Oh, it seems that the remaining 5 items are not small! Come on, let us open our eyes!"

President Liang came over, very curious about the remaining items.
