Chapter 62 Apprenticeship
Soon Yi'er and Long Baoer came over, along with the seven brothers of the Xue family and Chang Xuan.
After the brothers bowed to Taoist Ma in a polite manner, Yi'er stood next to Taoist Ma.
"Although Yi'er and I have the title of master and disciple, we have not yet performed the ceremony of becoming a master."
Xue Qingsong smiled and said, "If it's convenient for Taoist Master Ma, how about you use the Feng Shui treasure land of my in-law's family to perform the ceremony of becoming a disciple?"
The old lady smiled and said, "If Ma Daoye accepts a disciple here, it will really bring glory to my Chang family."
Brothers Chang Maozhi and Chang Maoming hurriedly asked people to prepare things, while Xue Qingsong asked what they needed.
"No need to go to too much trouble, a cup of tea is enough."
Soon the tea was refilled, and Yi'er knelt down in front of Taoist Master Ma and offered the tea with both hands.
Taoist Master Ma took the tea and gave a few more admonitions, "Since you join my family, you must also have a name. Although you are the only one in your generation for the time being, you still have to abide by it. If you are Qing in this generation, you should be called Qingfeng. Bar!"
Yi'er kowtowed again, "Qingfeng thanks Master for the name."
Chang Maoming couldn't help it anymore, "Master Ma Dao, this child is studying with you. Is he going to become a Taoist priest?"
Taoist Master Ma laughed, "That's not necessary. It depends on Qingfeng's intention. If you are willing to go to Yuntaiguan with me to place orders, that's fine."
Chang Maoming was about to make a move. Taoist Master Ma saw that he seemed to have something on his mind, so he asked Yi'er to go play with Long Baoer.
Chang Maoming found an opportunity and whispered his intention.
Taoist Master Ma nodded, "Pindao is an outsider, but the relationship between Qingfeng and Chen is still intact. Mr. Chang only needs to obtain Yi'er's consent. Then Pindao will come and have a glass of wedding wine."
Chang Maoming was overjoyed and bowed, "I would like to thank Taoist Master Ma in advance. If this matter can be accomplished, I will definitely invite Taoist Master Ma as the honored guest."
After the matter was revealed, Chang Maoming felt reassured and turned to look at Yi'er with a hint of eagerness in his eyes.
Yi'er didn't know about this at this time, but he was very happy to become a disciple of Taoist Master Ma. This means that he has real relatives.
But he didn't have much expectations for his original relatives in the capital.
I don’t want to and I don’t dare.
Yi'er was raised as a container since she was a child. She is precocious and sensitive.
After they returned to the capital, the Xue family and the Chang family secretly inquired about Yi'er's biological parents, and Yi'er knew them all.
But after searching and searching, there was no clue, and Yi'er's eyes became dimmed.
Just like what the devil Guo Cheng said to him, if he really cared, how could he let him take her away so easily.
If you really care about this child, why don't you look for it? Even after a few years, you should be able to find out this matter easily.
Unless it was, no one had ever reported it to the authorities, and no one had ever known that such a child was missing.
Under such circumstances, how could Yi'er not feel disappointed.
But Ma Daoye is here.
Not only did Ma Daoye come, he also reiterated that Yi'er was his disciple and wanted to formally include him in the door.
For dinner that day, Yi'er ate an extra bowl of rice.
Chang Maoming approached Yi'er and established a good relationship with him, while also telling Cao about the matter.
As long as there is no reconciliation, the two are husband and wife. This matter must be discussed with Mr. Cao.
Ms. Cao didn't speak for a long time after hearing this, and her face was so gloomy that it seemed like she could drip water.
Chang Maoming sighed in his heart.
It's not like he hasn't thought about adopting a child before. After all, adoption is unlikely.
The Chang family was already depleted and had no relatives. And his eldest brother had only one child, so he could only adopt him.
But Cao refused to do it and even made trouble several times. Over time, Chang Maoming stopped thinking about it.
This time when he went home and saw Yi'er, he was interested again. And even his elder brother saw it and took the initiative to tell the truth.
Chang Maoming had already thought about it, and that was enough for the previous times. This time, even if Mr. Cao disagreed, he would still raise the child.
He really thinks highly of Yi'er. He is very calm at a young age, and he has some bones that he has touched before, so he is very suitable for martial arts training.
Their Chang family's martial arts skills can't go to waste, can they?
What's more, this child may be Qin Qi's flesh and blood.
Qin Qi had several legitimate sons, so he probably didn't care that this one was living outside. Furthermore, since Qin Qi entrusted the child to them, they must give the child a status.
Chang Maoming was already prepared, but unexpectedly, Cao took the initiative to find him and agreed to the matter.
Chang Maoming was a little surprised, but also a little happy, and he couldn't help but soften his attitude toward Cao.
When Mrs. Cao saw Chang Maoming like this, she cried aggrievedly.
It had been many days since Chang Maoming came back, but the two of them had never slept in the same bed once. How could she not feel aggrieved.
"Okay, okay, don't cry." Chang Maoming sighed and took his wife into his arms.
In fact, he was the one who felt sorry for Cao. He could not serve as an official in the court and was not considerate enough. He clearly knew that Cao's mind was not broad enough and his vision was extremely limited. After all, his family status was not high.
He should be more tolerant.
What's more, it's not Cao's fault that she has no children. His Chang family had difficulties in having heirs. When the eldest sister-in-law got a boy in one fell swoop, the Chang family had to wait for several days.
Later, my sister-in-law became pregnant again, a little girl, but unfortunately she died early.
Mr. Cao has no children and cannot see him. It is understandable that he has a left-wing personality.
"It's my fault. I will stay with you more in the future."
"Really?" Ms. Cao looked up at Chang Maoming with tears in her eyes.
She has been married for more than ten years, but every time she sees Chang Maoming's face that shows few traces of time, she still feels like she was a girl, and her heart flutters.
"Well, I won't travel far from home in the future. Even if I do, I will tell you." Chang Maoming said.
If he could adopt Yi'er into his lap, he would personally educate the child and teach him all the arts, skills, and martial arts.
Thinking of this, Chang Maoming thought of Yingying again and couldn't help but say, "Yingying, you can also serve some snacks!"
"Huh?" Ms. Cao didn't turn around for a while.
"Yingying still looks like a young lady now. She has a bad temper and looks... it is not good for a little girl to eat so much."
Chang Maoming patiently advised.
It's not that they don't want to let their children eat. The Chang family has a big business and still cares about a few eggs and chicken legs. It's not that I can't afford to eat ginseng and bird's nest every day, but if my child develops such a temper, I'm afraid he won't be able to go out and meet people.
Speaking of Yingying, Mr. Cao was also a little aggrieved.
In fact, she also knew that Yingying's current state was not right, but she was spoiled by this child. He didn't do what he wanted at all, and would roll around on the floor and cry non-stop.
But if she really wanted to deal with it ruthlessly, she couldn't bear it.
She had no children of her own, so having this niece was even more painful.
