A legendary happy life

The next day.

Xu Nanyu, who had recuperated, went out under the eyes of the whole family, and went straight to Mr. Li's villa.The news I got was that Mr. Li was still resting, and he didn't mind, so he said 'wait', and closed his eyes on the chair to rest.This wait is the whole morning.It was close to lunch time before slowly going downstairs.

"What? Another good thing?"

Xu Nanyu got up to meet her. "I don't dare to call good 'things', but it is true that the family enjoys nothing else."

He helped Mr. Li to sit down, brewed tea with flowing water in his hands, and handed his hands to Mr. Li.

Mr. Li looked at him without smiling. "Let's talk about 'stuff' first."

Not annoyed, he held up his cup and said: "I came here this time to ask the old man for something, and I hope the old man will show mercy." After speaking, he knelt down on both knees and held up the teacup: "Please accept me as a disciple, old man. Teach me ancient skills."

Mr. Li smiled and asked, "Don't you already have a master?"

"The boy also wants to find that old grandfather, but unfortunately time is running out, so I want to ask the old man to teach me the skills of ancient knowledge, so that I can better understand the meaning of 'ancient' and understand the essence of the predecessors' life, so that we can carry forward the quintessence of China." Holding the teacup in his hand, the teacup was flat and steady, and there was not even a wave of tea that was eighty percent full. You can imagine his sincerity.

"If I remember correctly, your strength is emeralds. A while ago, the only piece of glass in our city was the light seen in your hands."

"My boy does not deny that my love for emeralds is no less than that of antiques, but this does not affect my apprenticeship."

"Chewing more than you can chew, picking sesame seeds and throwing watermelon is not worth the loss."

"Old man, I like emeralds, and I also like antiques. Monkeys pick up sesame seeds and throw watermelons because they don't understand the meaning of watermelons to them, but I understand the meaning of emeralds to me and the meaning of antiques. It is to divide my soul, the boy will not lose ancient things for jade, and vice versa." Jade was the thing he touched the most in those ten years, and being familiar with it was like being familiar with himself, and he really liked jade.

"A person's energy is limited. Whether jade or ancient relics are things that require all efforts to achieve something, it is not beneficial to choose both for the mission. It may be easier if the two are connected, but the two are not. It’s running in the opposite direction, going the opposite way.”

"To me, emeralds and ancient objects are the same. They are both the pursuit of 'beauty'. Emeralds pursue gorgeous beauty, while ancient objects have been carefully crafted by the predecessors and washed and precipitated by the long river of history. Why not?" "Beauty"? Different ways lead to the same goal, but as long as my love for "beauty" remains the same, one day, the combination of the two paths will not be a myth."

"Have you figured it out? Even if I don't accept you as a disciple, I won't change my beginning and end?"

"I've made up my mind." Finally, there was a slight tremor in the raised hand, causing ripples in the tea soup in the cup.

Mr. Li helped him up and motioned to put down the teacup. "Since you insist so much, I won't force you."

Xu Nanyu's eyes darkened.

"but."

Eyes brightened. "But what?"

"I can give you a chance to prove to me that you care about both and don't affect either." Instructing the servant to bring a book and handing it to him, he said, "I will take the exam for you after the Lantern Festival. Prevent you from learning jadeite. Of course, you can change your mind."

He took the book carefully and pursed his lips. "I will certainly not disappoint the old man."

Old Li smiled. "I hope so."

When he got home, he was greeted by a family who was hesitantly waiting for him.

Grandma Sun asked first. "How is it? Did the old gentleman agree to accept you as an apprentice?"

Shaking his head.

The family looked at each other in blank dismay, and Luo's mother comforted her first. "Xiaoyu, don't be discouraged. If you can't do it today, you can go tomorrow. If you can't do it tomorrow, you can go the day after tomorrow. One day you will be able to impress others."

Shaking his head again.

"Then ask someone else to be your teacher."

Shaking his head again.

Luo's mother asked: "What's the matter? You shake your head. Did you agree to accept you as an apprentice?"

Sighing, he looked at the whole family. "I didn't agree, but he gave me a chance." Pointing to the book on the coffee table. "After the Lantern Festival, if I can pass the test, he will agree."

Lin Daiyu snatched the book anxiously, flipped through it, and looked up. "It's very simple. It's all about antiques." Give her two days, and she can memorize it fluently.

Xu Nanyu tilted her head and smiled wryly. "Third Sister, if it were really that simple, I'd be laughing in my dreams."

The family took turns flipping through the book and looking at him inexplicably.

"This book includes almost all categories of Chinese antiquities. The radiation period spans 5000 years from the ancient Three Emperors and Five Emperors to the present!" After flipping through the book on the way back, he understood that it was impossible for Mr. Li to only test the knowledge in his book. It is something that is not written in the book, and his task is to find them out and memorize them.5000 years!Just thinking about it gives me a headache.

"Xiaoyu, if you don't succeed, you will be benevolent. As long as you do your best, I believe the other party can't blame you for anything."

laugh.That's all he can do to comfort himself now.Standing up, he said to Lin Ruyu, "Second brother, I may have to trouble you about transferring schools." He was late in elementary school for some reason, and he is only in the second year of junior high school. In order to keep up, he had to skip a grade to the third year of junior high school , in the first half of the year after the high school entrance examination.Fortunately, Lin Ruyu has a classmate whose father is the principal of the junior high school, which can save a lot of trouble.

Nodding, indicating that the bag is on him.

Going back to the room, looking at the thick books on the entire wall, he knew that this year he would not be able to live comfortably.

From entering the room, the three meals are condensed to two meals, and the door does not leave the second door. It is quieter than those rich ladies in ancient times. Even the success of skipping a grade only took a little time to have a meal with the principal. Not to mention.The New Year's greetings the next day were all hastily done, and I devoted myself to the book.By the time Shiwu went out, he had lost a full two laps.

Mother Luo and Grandma Sun wiped away tears while watching.

Since Father Lin sent Xu Nanyu to the ground, he waited outside, not daring to leave the gate.

Xu Nanyu was ushered in by the servants, and was told that Mr. Li was resting and sat on the chair for another two hours.

Mr. Li went downstairs slowly and asked with a smile, "Are you in a hurry?"

Shaking his head to meet him, he helped him to sit down. "The old man should keep the boy waiting for a long time." At the beginning of the year, Xu Nanyu had already called to pay New Year's greetings, so Xu Nanyu sat on the chair carefully and waited for Li Laokao.

Mr. Li smiled and asked: "Have you changed your mind yet? If you give up the jade item, I will immediately take you as a disciple."

"Old gentleman, please come up with a question." Handing over the book with both hands, this is a new one, and the old one has already been torn by him.

Old Li looked at him. "Really don't change? You should know how far this book radiates. Can you guarantee that you can pass the test? In 20 days, memorize the knowledge that others will never know in their lifetime?"

Put the book in front of him. "The boy can't guarantee it, but the boy has tried his best. Whether he can pass the old gentleman's level, the boy has a clear conscience."

Mr. Li looked at him solemnly, and found that Xu Nanyu didn't look away, and pushed the book away with a sudden smile.Blinking: "Have you still poured tea?"

"Ah?" Dazed, he hurriedly poured tea, knelt down to offer the tea soup with a 'plop' sound, and kowtowed three times. "Disciple Xu Nanyu has met Master."

She drank tea with a smile and helped him up.Seriously: "I hope you can keep your promise."

"Tu'er will never look back!"

"I hope so." In fact, Mr. Li never objected to him learning jadeite while learning antiques. He was just afraid that his character would not be firm enough, and he would fail on both sides. That's why he had such a test.In fact, the results pleased him.

The situation took such a sudden turn for the worse, which made Xu Nanyu feel extremely unreal. She was still dizzy when she got home, and fell asleep and then woke up in the afternoon of the next day.Downstairs, the family sat in the living room drinking tea silently.

"I succeeded in apprenticeship!"

The whole family nodded, but looked at him with extremely complicated eyes. "We already know." Lin Ruyu said, looking to the side and swallowing silently.

"Know? How do you know?" He fell asleep when he came back, and he didn't remember telling them.

Lin Daiyu pointed to the side with a dry smile.

Xu Nanyu looked over suspiciously, her eyes widened, and she stammered pointing at the countless cardboard boxes that could block the entire door. "This, this, what is this?!"

"It is said to be a 'gift' from the old man."

Xu Nanyu ran over to open it.

Lin Ruyu looked at him sympathetically. "We've seen it all."

He sat down on the ground, tilting his head and moaning.Almighty God, please let him wake up~~~!
