MTL - Child Bride’s Peaches and Plums Are All Over the World-Chapter 38 apprenticeship
Bai Yitang looked at Li Baolu, who was chubby and stout, with an undisguised disappointment on his face, "I'm too fat, I definitely won't be able to fly."
Li Baolu: "..."
Gu Jingyun looked at Li Baolu quite tangled, not sure if she wanted to lose weight.
After a while, Li Baolu defended: "Master, I am strong, not fat. Don't you need a good body when practicing martial arts?"
Bai Yitang lifted his eyelids and said, "I'm not your master, so don't yell. If it's other kung fu, that's fine. I can teach you even if you're weak, but what I'm best at is light kung fu."
"If you want to learn my martial arts, in addition to aptitude and comprehension, your own conditions should also be good," Bai Yitang looked at Li Baolu with an unbearable expression: "You are too fat, and beginners have to practice more in addition to their own weight. , so that the body has a floating energy, when it is practiced, it will rise like a flying swallow flying into the sky, fall like a dragonfly on water, it will not make a sound when it hits the tile, and it will land silently."
Li Baolu's eyes shone with astonishing brilliance. She thought Gu Jingyun's Qinggong was exaggerated. From her point of view, the ancient Qinggong was just running, leaping, and swift and flexible. But now, listening to Bai Yitang's meaning, this is actually the same as the memory of the previous life. It's almost the same in Chinese movies and TV dramas.
Originally, she just wanted to learn to protect her family, but now she is really interested in martial arts, she grabbed Bai Yitang's clothes, looked at him and said, "Uncle Bai, teach me, you are not fat. Oh, I'm losing weight!"
Bai Yitang shook his head, "No, you are fat now, and you may be fat in the future, but my fellow apprentices and I are thin people."
Just as Li Baolu was about to speak, Bai Yitang waved her hand to stop her and said, "Even if you lose weight, you are not born thin. My brothers and I are not fat no matter what we eat. You are not born to practice Qinggong."
Li Baolu couldn't help but pouted, "Isn't there a fat man who can do light work?"
"Yes," Bai Yitang said, "but it's all three-legged cat kung fu. Even if my apprentice is not a gifted and intelligent person, the conditions can't be so bad, so I won't accept you as a student. And it has been confiscated since my grandfather opened the mountain. Fatty's apprentice."
"If you teach a fat apprentice who is extremely light-handed, wouldn't you be able to raise your eyebrows in front of your uncles and uncles?"
"It's tempting, but it's more likely to fail, and it's not worth my risk."
Gu Jingyun rolled his eyes and asked, "Can you accept other apprentices besides Baolu in your life?"
Li Baolu was refreshed and looked at Bai Yitang with bright eyes. Yes, this is a place of exile, and Bai Yitang stayed here. Besides she would find him to practice martial arts, who would worship him as a teacher?
Bai Yitang was also choked. Everyone here can’t even eat enough to eat, how can they have the strength to practice martial arts with him?
"Also, even if Baolu is unbearable, no one will know that she is your apprentice," Gu Jingyun stabbed a knife in his heart, "You are in the village of sin now, do you think your brothers and theirs are so well-informed that they still know you are here? Got an apprentice?"
Who would know if he didn’t say it?
Bai Yitang pursed his lips.
Gu Jingyun continued: "After teaching, I will take Baolu out of Qiongzhou in the future. I can make her famous for you. If you don't teach well, we will never mention that you are her master, and we will never let you lose half of your face."
Bai raised his eyebrows.
"Would you like to let your kung fu go silent?" Gu Jingyun bewitched him and said, "The years are long, isn't it bad to have an apprentice serving you?"
Bai was moved, and his eyes couldn't stop looking at Gu Jingyun.
Gu Jingyun waved his hand and smiled: "Don't look at me, you know my body, even if I have a heart, I am powerless."
Bai Yitang was so disappointed, so he reluctantly set his sights on Li Baolu.
Li Baolu tried her best to look at him with her round eyes pleadingly.
Bai Yitang sighed and said, "Okay, I'll accept you reluctantly, but you remember that if you don't learn kung fu well, don't report my name when you go out."
Li Baolu didn't expect that she would be so disgusting, so she twitched the corner of her mouth and responded.
Bai Yitang waved his hand and said, "Then you should go back first. You need to prepare a lot of things for the apprenticeship. Go back and talk to the adults in your family, and I will officially apprentice after I choose a date."
In ancient times, great importance was attached to apprenticeship and art, especially the Jianghu people from a famous family like Bai Yitang had more requirements for apprenticeship rules.
So when Li Baolu received the specific time for the apprenticeship, he also knew that Bai Yitang had entered the mountain and beat a wild boar out, so he wanted to do a apprenticeship.
He also didn't know the rules of apprenticeship. Gu Jingyun, who was planning to do everything in secret, was also dumbfounded. He was just going to go to a master. Does he need such a big fanfare?
Bai Yitang also regretted that there were too few people to invite, but unfortunately said: "If I am still free, I will not only invite my apprentices to participate, but also friends from Lulin and the heads of various sects. It's a pity, now We can only invite eighteen families and the chief of the village."
Li Baolu & Gu Jingyun: ... If you say that you should be low-key and not public, how about you don't recognize your apprentice if you don't study well?
Qin Xinfang only knew about the apprenticeship, so he stood behind the two children and asked, "How many things you should have told me that you didn't tell me?"
Li Baolu and Gu Jingyun hurriedly shook their heads, and their little heads almost fell off.
He Zipei resisted their little heads and didn't let them shake it, but asked Qin Xinfang, "Do you really want Baolu to learn kung fu?"
That is too far from the education she received since she was a child. She has read the Four Books and Five Classics since she was a child, and she studied piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Her former best friend also came from a family of military commanders, but she also learned a bow horse, kung fu and so on. .
Qin Xinfang looked at Baolu, then at Gu Jingyun, and finally said: "If you want to learn, you can learn it, but you can learn kung fu, but I can't let go of the courses here and the things your aunt taught you. ."
Gu Jingyun frowned slightly, feeling that his uncle was too strict with Baolu.
Li Baolu agreed without thinking.
Qin Xinfang taught her the knowledge from books, while He Zipei taught her about human relations, managing the things that the servants and other mistresses must know.
For example, after returning to Beijing, when she sees the Gu family members, what kind of gifts should be prepared, who are the relatives in the Gu family, and how to give gifts to family friends, relatives, and bosses, and how to return gifts.
These are all things that must be learned. As for qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, it is something that cultivates sentiment. It can be learned, but not proficient, or simple, but it should be easier.
Li Baolu responded happily, but Qin Xinfang doubted whether her little baby could endure this hardship, after all, the learning intensity is not weak.
He didn't stop Li Baolu from practicing martial arts, but he guessed that they were bullied in the county seat, otherwise the two children would not have tossed around to learn martial arts as soon as they came back.
His ability is limited now, and it is impossible to place guards by Gu Jingyun's side, so who will protect the weak nephew has become an urgent problem.
Who else in this world would be absolutely kind to Gu Jingyun besides the three of them?
That is Li Baolu, they will be husband and wife in the future, husband and wife, he can give Gu Jingyun to her with confidence.
As for the rules, he is a criminal, so what are the rules?
Qin Xinfang reassured He Zipei and said, "The rules are set by people, and naturally they have to be broken. Apart from those pedantic and sour scholars, who do you see really follow the rules?"
Qin Xinfang stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Besides, how many people in our family do not follow the rules?"
He Zipei glared at him, turned around and said, "Since your masters have already discussed it, why do you need to ask me to discuss it? You can do it if you want."
So, Li Baolu officially worshipped Bai Yitang as his teacher on a sunny day. She knelt on the ground and served tea to him, and kowtowed three times sincerely.
Bai Yitang looked satisfied, although the apprentice was a little fatter and looked a little stupid, but fortunately, he was filial and obedient, and it may not be impossible for him to become a talent after training slowly.
