Chapter 676: Apprenticeship Ceremony

 Everyone returned to their seats and observed the ceremony of worshiping the master.

 All the rules and etiquette have been prepared in advance, and everything needs to be followed in order.

The first step in becoming a teacher: worshiping the ancestors and saints, expressing one's piety and praying for the blessings of the saints to ensure success in one's studies.

The second step of the apprenticeship: perform the apprenticeship ceremony. The master and his wife take their seats, the student kowtows three times, and then hands over the apprenticeship sticker prepared in advance.

The third step of apprenticeship: the master gives instructions, announces the rules of the sect and bestows a name. The content of the lectures is nothing more than words of encouragement to educate students to respect their ancestors and abide by the rules, be honest, and study hard.

Hearing what Zhang Yiren said, Bai Yunxi agreed and echoed,

"This is true. What mother doesn't want her children to be safe? Without a good body, everything else is nonsense."

She has a grudge against the county magistrate's wife, so what's the point of dragging her along?

 As a mother, it is impossible not to feel resentful when you treat yourself and others.

  …But, I didn’t bring any extra clothes.”

Just now she felt that although Mrs. Liu was a bit hot-tempered and a nice person, she was trying to drag her into trouble at every turn, so she had to be on guard.

After the lecture, Dean Zhang stroked his beard and pondered for a moment, "Today, I will give you two more words as a teacher, diligence. Diligence leads to work, waste comes from play, success comes from thinking, and failure comes from following."

"Being favored by the dean of the chapter and becoming his beloved disciple is a blessing for your son and an honor for you as a mother. With the dean protecting you all the way, your future will be smooth."

 Then Zhang Yishan's advice came out, "Don't worry, I'll accompany you to change."

 There is a common saying among the people, it is my parents who gave birth to me, and it is my master who taught me.

 After the ceremony, everyone sat down respectively, and the banquet began.

Fuzi Liu stroked his gray beard and laughed at Dean Zhang.

 “Brother Wenjun, congratulations.”

“Thank you for your kind words, it’s Xiao Wu’s blessing.” Bai Yunxi was still a little excited after watching the apprenticeship ceremony from beginning to end.

 After the apprenticeship ceremony, everyone congratulated the dean again on getting a good disciple.

Hearing Mrs. Liu's tone, Ma Ruren's face froze. She had indeed heard a lot in the front hall just now.

Hearing her unintentional tone, Mrs. Liu nodded with a bright smile.

"What Ma Ruren said is right. What mother doesn't want her sons to flourish and be promoted step by step? Right, the eldest sister of the Bai family?"

 “Haha…Same joy, same joy.”

Hearing Ma Ruren’s unclear tone, Madam Liu took a sip of tea and chuckled.

   “Māruren don’t know that if the masters of the college meet a talented student, it is like picking sesame seeds in the sand. It is very rare.”

"Madame Liu is right. Both of them are rare talents. We mothers all hope for the best for our children. The farther they go and the higher they stand, the happier we parents are. "

“Oh, I’m so sorry, I didn’t mean to do it, my hand was shaking.”

 How could she stand up for someone she just met before she figured it out?

Just when she was thinking about how to avoid Madam Liu’s grasp, a sharp scream suddenly came from the girl’s side.

 After this ceremony, the master-disciple relationship is second only to the father-son relationship.

"It's okay, I have it. I just made it, and I haven't had time to put it on yet."

Looking at Ma Ruren’s stiff smile, Zhang Yiren smiled gently.

“Actually, we mothers, no matter whether our sons are promising or mediocre, as long as they can grow up safely and healthily, that is our greatest wish.”

 Two hundred five. Two hundred and thirty four. One hundred and forty six. Seventy-one

“What’s wrong with you? Why did you pour all the soup on me? These are my newly made clothes.”

Mrs. Liu looked at her master, turned around, held Bai Yunxi's hand and patted it, "If Chengqin can get the guidance of Dean Zhang, his future is limitless."

Mrs. Liu looked at her deflated look with a smile in her eyes.

"So, in addition to educating children well, talent is the biggest reason. Some people have no talent. No matter how hard they work in the later period, they will be average students at most. If talent is combined with hard work, then everyone will be a real talent. A good young talent to compete for." "Now we have Chengqin, a young scholar, and before we had Brother Yu. Both of them are rare young talents, and their futures will be limitless in the future."

Hearing Mrs. Liu's tone, Ma Ruren's eyes flashed with an almost undetectable gloom, and for a moment, he put on a gentle and sensible smile.

Baiyunxi nodded, "Thank you for your kind words."

Ma Ruren's position was just opposite Baiyun River. Thinking of the young scholar who was standing next to the dean just now, he praised him with a crooked look on his face.

 “You raised a good son.”

 Fortunately, the old man didn't **** it from him, so he remembered this sentiment.

 “Thank you Ma Ruren for your compliment.”

Let’s be envious, be jealous, it’s a pity that your son is not up to par, it’s useless no matter how much you resent him.

The female guests were still arranged in the backyard. In order to facilitate the conversation without restraint, Zhang Yiren arranged a separate table for the girls, so that her daughter could stay with her niece of the same race. The rest of the ladies, as they had learned in advance, asked those they were familiar with to sit together, which would make it more lively.

Hearing Madam Liu’s thoughts and seeing the way she stared at him, Bai Yunxi’s mouth twitched. This person really doesn’t take it too seriously to watch the excitement.

 “You are really...”

Knowing this, he poked her in the heart again and again. Looking back, he might have to throw a set of tea cups to vent his anger.

Dean Zhang smiled at him and naturally understood the meaning of his tone. He had taken this apprentice by force.

There were indeed several people vying to receive the name of Bai's son, but in the end, Dean Zhang took the lead.

Xie Yu not only occupied the position of the eldest son, but also stood out in every way, which made her son mediocre and unable to stand out over the years.

 Want to use her as cannon fodder to be bombarded?

 Zhang Yiren glared at Mrs. Liu. This person really wants to poke people's hearts when he sees the opportunity. He clearly knows that Ma Ruren's biggest grievance is that the eldest son always takes precedence over the younger son.

"When they learned that Chengqin had passed the exam, the masters were as excited as if they had passed the exam, and they were vying to be accepted as their disciples. At this time, it was not the teacher who accepted the student, but the student who chose the teacher. "

 It is a great honor for a country boy to have this opportunity.

“Just like me, even though I only have one daughter, Yishan, in this life, I only hope that she will be safe and content with finding a husband in the future.”

 Since then, Bai Xiaowu, Bai Ansheng, courtesy name Chengqin.

Bai Yunxi reluctantly twitched at her. She was just a country woman, and she just wanted to have a meal in peace. Why did she keep pulling her away?

Hearing the noise over there, everyone at the main table turned to look over. Zhang Yiren frowned, got up and walked over.

 “What’s going on?” While speaking, she looked at her daughter.
