After Master Nan got up, the old man picked up the "Please of Love" and blew a few more breaths.

Seeing that the ink was dry, he gently folded it up and put it away.

Just one piece of rough paper that costs one cent, it seemed to be much more expensive in his mind than the previous set of enamel fish porcelain.

Master Nan looked at the old man walking constantly, his expression seemed a little sad.

Seeing that the old man finally stopped, Master Nan asked, "Brother Xue Seng, since he has made a decision, how should this ceremony be performed according to your wishes?"

"Well! Although we don't use the secular style, we don't need any apprenticeship ceremony, but the ceremony cannot be abandoned. Please help me preside over it!"

The old man seemed to be lighter because he had finished his wish. He pointed to the long scroll of Pu Ru and said, "That object is considered a repair!"

Master Nan hesitated and said, "Acquiring a master is a big deal. Should I discuss a while and invite some old friends to watch the ceremony?"

The old man took out half a bottle of old wine from under the dining table, picked up a wine glass, put it in Master Nan's hand, and smiled self-deprecatingly: "I am old but not dead, but I am a thief. How can I have any old friends at my age?"

After a while, he said, "Even if there are still one and a half, I will write a post at that time. Xiao Chang can visit him when he goes to the capital."

The old man's words are a little more lonely than the rising autumn wind.

"Hehe, the Golden Wind Lord kills you, I'm afraid that those old guys will not be able to get a few stabs!"

...

As Master Nan said, becoming a disciple is never a trivial matter.

The meanings of students and disciples are completely different.

That is really a teacher for one day and a father for life.

Not to mention it, even during the decades of the Republic of China, the master treated his disciples who passed on his robe and his sons as his sons. His disciples treated him as his father, and he regarded him as his father. The two were just blood-related.

A disciple chooses a teacher, and a teacher also chooses a disciple.

It is rare to find a famous teacher, and it is also difficult to find a good disciple.

The old-fashioned people know that it is much more difficult to accept a disciple with both good character and moral character than to meet a famous teacher. This is also the reason why many craftsmen in the past would rather let their skills be lost.

The road is a long way to know the power of horses, and people's hearts will be seen over time.

Whether you are a good disciple will take a long time to test and temper. Only when the master thinks this disciple is worthy of teaching, will he give it all.

During the long trial and tribulation, there are only four words to describe: it is difficult for apprentices to do anything.

How difficult is it?

Some businesses sign contracts before going to the master's house. Life and death have nothing to do with the family, and are arranged by the master. If there is any major matter such as unclear hands and feet, the master can directly kill him, and the government will not care about it.

Of course, the antique shop is not so strict, but it is not much better.

The apprentice brought by the shopkeeper of the antique shop must first do three years of work for the shopkeeper for free.

These three years of work are not just about working in the store.

The apprentice has to do anything about the master’s family, including washing, cooking, washing urinals, and they just have to pay for the meal.

This is called a disciple.

After the disciples finished the past three years, they rose from the disciple to the apprentice, and the master began to teach skills. This teaching also has its own merits.

Usually, the master does not teach step by step. The apprentice has to listen more and watch more by himself. At the critical moment, the master will give a few words. As for whether he can understand or learn, he depends on his own ability.

No talent or ability can compare to the ability to observe the appearance at this stage.

This is what is called the so-called master leading the door, and practicing is with the individual.

In this way, after another three or seven or eight years, you can start a master based on the apprentice's own skill level.

The master mentioned here is just a master's skill, but you still have to work with your master. Usually, you can work for five or ten years in vain before you can go out and start your own business.

This is how Sun Yingzhou, a contemporary porcelain collector, came here.

Geng Baochang was an apprentice with Sun Yingzhou, so he naturally came here like this.

"Dunhuazhai" was very famous back then, but ordinary people could not enter or become apprentices.

Sun Yingzhou was a strict person and required tea sets and cigarette sets to be washed clean and the legs of the table were wiped clean.

But why can Geng Baochang stay?

Because he gets up at five o'clock every day, regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter, sweeping the floor, pouring the urinals, burning the stove..., all kinds of miscellaneous tasks are done properly.

Even the meticulous work of serving tea and water or lighting cigarettes is not careless.

In winter, Geng Baochang's hands and feet were frozen and cracked every day. The cracks on his hands were bleeding as long as he stretched out a little, and the fine wounds hurt so much that he couldn't sleep at night.

This kind of life is the most difficult, and with too many miscellaneous work, when will you learn something?

The most tormenting thing is not to see hope, and not many people can survive.

How did Geng Baochang, who had finally stayed behind, learn his skills?

It depends entirely on your own efforts.

The shopkeeper talks to the guests, talks about antiques, and appreciates porcelain.

At this time, Geng Baochang's ears were completely raised, and he quickly served tea and water while concentrating on listening.

Once I heard it so much that I lit a cigarette for the customer and burned my fingers, and I didn't bother to throw away the matches.

This is why Sun Yingzhou, the Taishan Beidou and Geng Baochang, the national treasure of the Forbidden City, came later.

As a professor at Nankai University and director of the History Institute, Nan Jinyu has taught and educated people all over the world.

However, these students will not respect Nan Jinyu as much as they respect the "teachers" among heaven, earth, king, and parents, because the profession of teachers is to cultivate students, which is his job in Nan Jinyu.

If you look closely, the "closed disciples" mentioned before Xiao Yan, Mou Duanming and others are mostly because Nan Jinyu is an academic school and there is no need to take the jokes seriously.

Just like in the circle now, others would say that Mou Duanming is a student of Nan Jinyu, but they would not say that Mou Duanming is a disciple of Nan Jinyu. It is also because of this that in formal occasions, Mou Duanming and Chang Xian never called each other "school brothers".

Chang Xian is a very etiquette person. Since he decided to become a disciple, this worship cannot be avoided. He immediately took the bottle of wine from Master Nan's hand and poured wine into the cup in front of him.

"Master, this glass of wine is for you. I will be a teacher forever. From now on, I will always remember your teachings. I will invite Master to drink this glass of wine..."

He picked up the wine glass, Chang Xian came to the old man, holding the wine glass with one hand and pulling the chair behind the old man with the other. He knelt down when his knees were weak, raised his glass with both hands, and raised it respectfully above his head.

"...Child, I am not my wish to take you into the rest of my life, but since God will do this, don't fall into the ambition of the blue sky!"

The old man himself was also mixed with emotion. He took the wine glass that Chang Xian raised above his head and drank it all with his eyes closed.

The old man slowly opened his eyes and said, "Get up, since you have become a disciple, I will give you a teacher gift..."
