"Are you really going to announce your engagement? What a pity! I wanted my boy to pursue Qiu Ziling. I thought if I gave him my full support, there might be a chance. But now it seems that it's not possible."
"Is it the person standing behind Qiu Xiongyi? That should be the son-in-law of the Qiu family, but why is he dressed so casually in such a solemn occasion?"
"Who is that person? He doesn't seem to be from our circle. I have never seen him before."
"I think his name is Yu Sheng. I heard he is quite famous in the Eastern Theater and is highly regarded by He Jun. He is a talent that is highly valued by the upper class."
"Really? It seems like his origin is indeed unusual!"
A group of people exchanged glances with each other, some were confused, some made random guesses, and some secretly felt it was a pity.
On the platform in the center, Qiu Xiongyi said seriously, "Yes, today, on this auspicious day, just as everyone guessed, my daughter will... take Mr. Yu Sheng as her teacher. This is truly a joyous event that deserves celebration."
"ah… "
There was thunderous applause. People around looked at each other in confusion. They found that people around them were also looking at them in confusion. It was so embarrassing.
"Did I hear it wrong? It seems like it's not a marriage but a discipleship!"
"It must be a slip of the tongue. What the hell is this about becoming a disciple? It's impossible even to think about it."
"Yes, it must have been a slip of the tongue. After all, it's my first time marrying off my daughter, and I'm so excited."
Whispering, this is too ridiculous. How come the promised marriage suddenly turned into a discipleship? Everyone was waiting for Qiu Xiongyi to correct his slip of the tongue.
However, Qiu Xiongyi then said affirmatively: "That's right, everyone heard it right. I invited you all here today to witness my daughter becoming his disciple. Mr. Yu Sheng is a rare talent, not only handsome, but also extremely talented. I believe that my daughter is convinced by her past life's practice to be able to become his disciple."
Listening to this torrent of praise, it was as if the Qiu family was being destroyed in order to allow Yu Sheng to take over.
The people watching the ceremony looked at each other in confusion.
"Yes, he really is my disciple! Oh my god, this kid looks so young, how can he be so worthy?"
"It's not a marriage, it's a discipleship. This Yu Sheng really has an extraordinary background. It seems that I can only befriend him and not offend him in the future!"
"Even Qiu Xiongyi is so polite to this kid. Who is he? Is he the son of some legendary boss?"
As a group of people kept talking about it, Yu Sheng’s worth suddenly skyrocketed.
At this time, Qiu Ziling, who had changed into a polite little dress, walked out under the supervision of the housekeeper. She naturally heard what Qiu Xiongyi said. She staggered and almost fell to the ground. She muttered in disbelief: "What? I actually have to worship this guy as my master. Isn't it a marriage? No... This is also a good thing, yes, it is a good thing! But..."
He looked at Yu Sheng carefully. He was so sloppy that one corner of his clothes was stuck in his trousers. It was embarrassing that such a person was his master.
But I am still very happy. Life is full of ups and downs.
Recognizing him as a master is just embarrassing, but recognizing him as a husband means losing your virginity.
Qiu Xiongyi looked at the reactions of the people below and gave Yu Sheng a look: It seems to be very successful. These guys were completely frightened.
The two of them worked together to perform a play, and Qiu Xiongyi tried his best. First, he knew that He Jun had never valued a young man so much. Second, he also knew Yu Sheng's record in Jun County. Third, as a husband and a master, her daughter had a big leg to hold on to no matter what, and it was impossible for Yu Sheng to not teach her anything.
Even if she only learned a little bit of medical skills, it would be a good thing for the uneducated Qiu Ziling.
In order to show the importance of this apprenticeship, Qiu Xiongyi requested that everything follow the most ancient and complicated rituals.
The portrait of the founder was hung up, and an incense table was set up. Yu Sheng burned incense and presented petitions to the founder and the master, performed the ritual of three kneelings and nine kowtows, and reported to the founder and the master that he would be accepted as a disciple to carry on the sect's legacy. Then Yu Sheng sat upright on a special seat set up at the side.
Everyone was curious about who Yu Sheng's master was. Then a huge portrait opened and a huge God of Wealth appeared, looking chubby.
The only unusual thing was that he had a dragon coiled in his left hand, a jade ruyi in his right hand, and a beautiful maid sitting underneath.
It can be said to be noble and unique.
Although this painting looks so out of place, it does appear to be quite old. This is a fake that Yu Sheng spent 200,000 yuan to have the system make. If someone takes it for inspection later, this thing must have a history of tens of thousands of years.
"Oh my god! This painting is so exaggerated. What language is this guy speaking? I don't understand it. Japanese, English, Siberian, or South African?"
"It should be a dialect, but it seems to be a dialect I have never heard of. Looking at the sound of it making noises and scratching, it can't be an ancient language."
"That's very possible! But I don't understand a word of this. This apprenticeship ceremony is really boring. At least you can speak Mandarin."
After all, it is an ancient heritage. You should know that modern language standards have only been around for a few decades. In the past, different customs existed in different places. Not to mention the language, which was even more different. A group of people couldn't understand what Yu Sheng was mumbling.
In fact, even Yu Sheng didn't know what he was mumbling. Anyway, it was just a bunch of nonsense, and this group of people had to listen even if they could understand, and pretended to understand even if they didn't.
Yu Sheng muttered to himself for ten minutes, and was almost sweating. It was not that he didn't want to talk about a person casually, but it would be easy to be exposed, so it was better to just talk nonsense like this.
Even he himself doesn't know what he is saying, and he doesn't believe that others can figure out anything.
Finally, the first ceremony was completed and I could sit aside peacefully.
At this time, Qiu Ziling walked in front of Yu Sheng and knelt down. At this time, the housekeeper acted as the master of ceremonies and began to introduce the disciples.
"How shameful!" Qiu Ziling's feet moved a little unnaturally. She raised the letter of apprenticeship above her head, presented it to Yu Sheng with both hands, and kowtowed to him three times.
Then he obediently offered Yu Sheng the name-changing tea, which meant that from now on he would call Yu Sheng "Master".
Then came the most crucial part, exchanging tokens of love. Qiu Ziling handed over a big red envelope for good luck. Yu Sheng also picked up a necklace that looked like a treasure and threw it to Qiu Ziling.
There was a big check in the red envelope. Although Yu Sheng didn't look at it, the system had already reminded him how much money it was. He couldn't help feeling unhappy: "It's only 66,666,600 yuan, which is a perfect match. This is too stingy. A young lady from such a big family only gives this little money to become a disciple. It's really stingy."
Qiu Ziling, who was about to become a disciple, was even more depressed. She had been performing the rituals of becoming a disciple for nearly an hour, being watched like a monkey.
However, Qiu Xiongyi was also present, so she suppressed her anger and did not dare to act rashly.
After Yu Sheng and Qiu Ziling took a group photo, all the people participating in the apprenticeship ceremony also took a group photo with the help of a drone.
"The ceremony is over!" Qiu Xiongyi shouted happily. He looked at his relatives and friends and said, "Today, we specially prepared a Tianhai Banquet. Everyone must enjoy it. Don't be polite to me, Qiu."
