Chapter 43 Master and Apprentice

Uh, daddy, daddy, what are you doing all the time, you're selling us out again?
In Hong Qing's heart, she had already decided that Chen Menglei came here to accept disciples, and she had already made several calculations in her mind, and was ready to throw them out one by one, if she could push it, she would push it, if she couldn't, then she would unceremoniously send it to her father. Hanging on the body, in a word, this teacher, Hong Qing does not plan to worship, the problem is that the plan obviously cannot keep up with the changes, and the third master left so shamelessly, Hong Qing's little scheme suddenly collapsed for a long time, There was nowhere to borrow his strength, and he was really annoyed, but his father wanted to leave, and he had no choice but to pretend that he didn't care, and stood where he was with a faint smile.

"Pour tea!"

No matter how bright Hong Qing's smile was, Chen Menglei didn't seem to notice it, and didn't say a word, just squinted his eyes, and sat still like an old monk. This sitting lasted for nearly half an hour until Hong Qing When he was standing with numb legs, he stretched out his hand, pointed to the half-empty teacups in front of him, and gave an incomparably succinct order.

What?Pour tea?Well, you can go on and on, let's continue!
After half an hour of silent confrontation, although the smile on her face was a little stiff, Hong Qing didn't take it seriously. She had already planned a countermeasure in her heart, and that was the strategy of neither resisting nor cooperating—no matter what Chen Menglei said What is it, listen to them all, but if it really comes to the matter of apprenticeship, then don’t do it, the worst is to play a fool and make the old master run away, even if you will be severely beaten by your own father for this, it’s okay No hesitation, but I didn't expect the old master to be silent for a long time, and actually made such a trick. Hong Qing really couldn't react for a while, and she didn't want to obey orders, but after thinking about it, the basic respect for the elderly is still needed, left and right are just It's just pouring a bowl of tea, it's really not a big deal.

"Go on!"

The tea bowl is not big, there is still half of the water in it, so the volume is not big, Hong Qing picked up the teapot and poured it, the water was already flush with the mouth of the bowl, but before Hong Qing put the teapot down, Hearing Chen Menglei's order in a deep voice.

Still down?What are you doing!
When Chen Menglei yelled, Hong Qing's hands couldn't help trembling for a moment. After being stunned for a while, she raised her head and looked at Chen Menglei carefully. Seeing his bright eyes, he didn't seem to be joking. Although there was a murmur in his heart, but his hands didn't stop, he continued to pour tea into the already full bowl according to his words, needless to say, the tea overflowed and flowed along the table, neatly In an instant, the ground was wetted by the boss, and it was as ugly as the scar on the bald man's head.

"What did the little prince see?"

After all, the water in the teapot is limited, and without counting the breath, it has been poured quickly and completely. Before Hong Qing can express anything, Chen Menglei has already stroked his long beard on his chest, and asked calmly. A rather strange sentence came.

Um?What is this old clapper doing so well?

Hong Qing was already a little impatient for being surrounded by Chen Menglei, if it wasn't for the fact that this old man was her father's master, Hong Qing really wanted to give him some flair, of course, if she was annoyed, Hong Qing would For Qing Chengfu, he didn't want to bring anger to his face, he just raised his eyebrows slightly, and said in a flat tone: "Did the master say that the water will overflow when it is full?"

"continue."

Chen Menglei did not comment on Hong Qing's answer, but said noncommittal.

"Is it too late?"

"continue."

"Tolerance is a virtue?"

"continue."

"Water carries the boat, and water capsizes the boat."

"continue."

"The highest kindness is like water?"

"continue."

……

"What did Master see again?"

After changing more than a dozen answers in a row, she was almost dry when she spoke straight, but what she got in return was the word "continue" that was neither salty nor frivolous, Hong Qing really got a little angry, so she retorted angrily.

"The old man saw a fool pour the tea all over the floor."

Hong Qing was in a hurry, but Old Master Chen was not in a hurry, stretched out his hand to stroke the long beard on his chest, and replied slowly.

"..."

As soon as Old Master Chen said this, Hong Qing was immediately dumbfounded, and for a moment really didn't know what to say.

"Hahaha……"

Seeing Hong Qing's stunned look, Old Master Chen laughed unscrupulously, until Hong Qing's face turned red from laughing, and at the same time she felt embarrassment rolling in her heart, and she also felt that she was so cute and stupid, that she was just like this After being teased by the old master, he shook his head helplessly, and then laughed out loud.

"The little prince is so courageous. He dared to guess the holy will. Aren't you afraid of causing disaster for your father?"

Hong Qing was laughing heartily, but Old Master Chen stopped smiling suddenly, with a serious expression on his face, and cut off his throat with a solemn expression.

"Gah..."

As soon as she heard these words, Hong Qing's small body trembled involuntarily, and the laughter stopped abruptly.

what happened?Could it be that that fellow Li Minquan sold Lao Tzu?Not too possible!Although that guy's personality is mediocre, he still has a lot of courage. Besides, if he wants to keep his status in the palace, he has no reason to destroy the Great Wall himself. Hey, this old master is deceiving us.

"What do you mean by the master? Forgive me for being ignorant, I am really at a loss, and I ask the master to give me some advice."

After all, Hong Qing is not an ordinary person, after just thinking about it for a while, she realized something, she refused to admit it, so she spread her hands in a dazed manner, a beautiful Tai Chi pushing hands, and her hands were slippery He kicked the question back to Old Master Chen's feet again.

"Young Lord, do you want to say that all the plans during this period of time have been written by Li Minquan?"

Old Master Chen is obviously not so easy to fool, no matter how naive and innocent Hong Qing looks, but Old Master Chen is not moved at all, the corner of his mouth is raised, and he laughs sarcastically, mercilessly dismissing Hong Qing's thought The word clicked out.

"This..., is there something wrong?"

Having decided that the old master was cheating, Hong Qing naturally refused to admit it, blinked her big eyes, and replied innocently.

"No? That's right. A person who is not even proficient in "Book of Changes" can know the way of an emperor. As for Meng, Liang, and Chen, they are just sour Confucians. In fact, the ears of a dog are not of much use, but your third master seems to be very shrewd, but in fact he is ignorant, resourceful and indecisive. If he is left alone, he may be able to make a difference, but at present, what? But he is only mediocre, how can he repeatedly hit the Sacred Heart, how can the little prince explain this, huh?"

Seeing Hong Qing pretending to be stupid, Old Master Chen immediately smiled contemptuously, pointed his fingers, and commented on all the people in the Prince's Mansion of Cheng County, without mercy in his words. It pointed out that the root of the recent series of abnormal behaviors of Chengjun Palace lies in Hongqing.

Fuck me, this old demon is really not a cover, you can guess it, dare to say that Li Minquan was in such a mess before, but he was confused by this old bastard, dizzy, this time it's a big trouble up!

Listening to what Old Master Chen said, although Hong Qing could still stand firmly on the spot, her back was already covered with cold sweat, not for any other reason, but because at such a time, Hong Qing no longer knew what to take. It's self-arguing, but there's no other way, Old Master Chen knows too much about the abilities of the upper echelons of King Chengjun, so much trouble that Hong Qing couldn't find anyone to push him away. Besides, this matter really can't be explained, The more you trace it, the darker it will be. In view of this, Hong Qing simply shut up and remained silent.

"The reason that too much is too much is too late, I think the young prince knows it, but why doesn't he practice it personally?"

Old Master Chen didn't pay attention to Hong Qing's silence at all, and suddenly changed the topic, and asked Hong Qing some unexpected questions.

"Huh? Master means..."

Hong Qing was stunned for a long time, but she couldn't figure out what Old Master Chen was referring to in this question. Under the itch, she had to break the silence, and tentatively asked half of the words.

"During the early court, did the young prince encourage the third master to come forward to support the prince?"

Old Master Chen didn't show off this time, and directly pointed out the problem.

"What's wrong with this?"

As soon as Old Master Chen pointed out this matter, Hong Qing knew that her plan might have been guessed by Old Master Chen, so she didn't want to make false claims, but bowed to Old Master Chen cautiously. Ask for advice humbly.

"It's too late. As the saying goes, 'the Sacred Heart is unpredictable', the mystery lies in the word 'difficult'. Hey, why does the Fourth Master not know where the Sacred Heart is, but why does he not move? Fortunately, the Third Master has many scruples. Dare to do it, otherwise, the little prince will have to think about the consequences."

Old Master Chen gave Hong Qing a dissatisfied look, and briefly brought up the whole story.

so close!

Old Master Chen didn't say anything, but Hong Qing really didn't realize the seriousness of the problem. At this moment, when she thought about it carefully, cold sweat broke out like a slam, why?It's very simple, as long as you know how Yang Xiu died, you can understand how harmful the good guessing Sacred Heart is. Fortunately, the third master finally persuaded, and the old man gave Hong Qing a chance to fully perform. Good thing happened.

"Thank you, master, for your reminder. I know I was wrong. If I can get my master's instruction, it's really a great fortune for my students. Master, please accept my disciple's respect."

It's hard to say Hong Qing's other abilities, but she is still very good at judging people. After several conversations like this, how can she not know that Chen Menglei's ability is definitely one of the great wise men of today, how can she just miss it, you know What he lacks the most now is talents. To have someone like Chen Menglei assisting him is a blessing that cannot be asked for, so he knelt down on the ground and respectfully saluted him as a disciple.

"Lonely lying in a lonely village does not feel sorry for itself, Shangsi defends Luntai for the country. Lying in the middle of the night and listening to the wind and rain, the iron horse and ice river fall into dreams."

Facing Hongqing's apprenticeship ceremony, Old Master Chen did not express his opinion directly, but murmured a poem "November [-]th" by Lu You, with tears flickering in his slightly closed eyes...
