Chapter 157 Apprenticeship

Master Zeng pondered, he didn't suspect Qiao Qiongyan all at once, because Qiao Qiongyan was a brainless person in his eyes, otherwise how could she have been arguing to divorce after being provoked by her daughter? Such a sinister idea came...

Hearing this, Zeng Jiayue stopped her tears and asked in a hoarse voice: "Father, what do you say?"

"You don't need to worry about this matter. You stay at home. In a few days, I will send you to the temple for a while. I will come back after the wind has passed."

After Master Zeng finished speaking beyond doubt, he went out with a gloomy face.

"Mother—" When Zeng Jiayue heard that she still wanted to send herself to the family temple, she burst into tears again: "Mother, father knows that I am not pregnant, and I was framed by others, why did you send me home?" temple?"

Mrs. Zeng also wiped her tears sadly, and said distressedly: "Yue'er, your father is also doing it for your own good, so just listen to your father."

Mrs. Zeng knew very well in her heart that the rumor that her daughter was pregnant with someone else was too lethal. Even if her daughter was plotted, how many people would believe it?
When something like this happened, the Huang family divorced again, and the daughter's life would probably be ruined, and it would be impossible to remarry to a wealthy family. Mrs. Zeng felt as uncomfortable as if she had been dug out.

"Mother, why do you even say that? Dad sent me to the family temple, isn't this killing my daughter?" Zeng Jiayue cried with snot and tears.

It was hard for her to get rid of her grievances, but her father even sent her to the family temple to suffer.

I heard that the conditions in the family temple are very poor, and you have to chant scriptures and work every day there, so how can people stay there?Zeng Jiayue didn't want to go even if she was beaten to death.

"Jiayue, your father said that he wanted you to hide for a while, not to die there, don't worry, mother will pick you up as soon as the wind dies down." Mrs. Zeng coaxed softly.

"Mom, I don't want it, I don't want it! I won't go even for a day!" Zeng Jiayue played with her temper.

"Yue'er!" Seeing that her daughter was so ignorant, Mrs. Zeng couldn't help scolding her angrily. When are you still making trouble here?
After drinking angrily, seeing her daughter's face full of tears, Mrs. Zeng's heart softened again, and persuaded: "Yue'er, it's not that your parents are cruel, but now we have to send you to the family temple. There are rumors of pregnancy, and the Huang family's resignation is enough for us to bear, even if your father doesn't send you to the family temple, the patriarch will send someone to send you there."

When it came to the resignation of the Huang family, Zeng Jiayue cried like a tearful man: "Mother, I want to see Mr. Huang, and I want to explain to him clearly that I didn't do anything to offend him..."

Mrs. Zeng sighed, and said, "Silly boy, what's the matter now, what else is there to explain?"

My master was beaten out every time he went to Huang's house. It would be strange if his daughter was not directly soaked in a pig cage. How could Mrs. Zeng let her daughter do such a stupid thing?
Mr. Huang's eldest brother is doing big business in the capital city. He heard that he has a lot of contacts and has gotten along with some officials in the capital city. Mr. Zeng and Mrs. Zeng thought they could get close to such an in-law. He was able to go a little farther, but he didn't expect that the benefits had not been reaped, but he had suffered such a dull loss, and the Huang family didn't even want to listen to their explanation, so they resigned directly, and even said that they would be with Zeng from now on. The family situation is not balanced, which makes it difficult for Master Zeng and Mrs. Zeng to speak.

The [-]th day of the first lunar month was the day when Bo Beibei paid homage to Master Rong. Master Rong asked Jiang Yun'er for a day's leave and took Bai Beibei back to his home.

Qiao Qiongyan and Xiaozhu wanted to follow, but Master Rong refused.

When he arrived at Master Rong's house, Bo Beibei found out that Master Rong had bought a two-story courtyard near the General's Mansion, and it took him less than a quarter of an hour to walk.

Master Rong has no daughter-in-law and children, and there are only three or five servants in the family. He felt very deserted when he first entered the outer courtyard.

Bo Beibei followed Master Rong into the inner courtyard, and saw a dozen men sitting in the hall of the inner courtyard.

"Beibei, come quickly and meet your uncle, uncle, and senior brothers." Master Rong had a happy smile on his face, and introduced everyone present to Bai Beibei one by one.

Bo Beibei stared blankly at the dozen or so men, old and young, didn't they say that in ancient times, the defense between men and women was very important?Why are there all men in the hall except her?

"Why are you in a daze, why don't you hurry up and visit all the senior uncles and your senior brothers?" Master Rong's displeased voice sounded in Bai Beibei's ear, which brought Bai Beibei back to his senses.

Before he really learned his master, Bo Beibei followed Master Rong's introduction to more than a dozen people and bowed briefly.

There were too many people, and Bo Beibei didn't pay attention, as soon as he finished greeting, he forgot who was with whom, and only remembered the faces of a few people.

"Okay, okay!" The oldest man yelled "Okay" three times after receiving Bo Beibei's gift, and said, "Girl, Lao Rong is finally willing to accept apprentices, so even if you are a daughter, we don't care about it." Objected."

Hearing this, Bo Beibei raised her eyes and glanced at all the people present, seeing that they were looking at her with some strained eyes, she couldn't help but frowned slightly, dare these people look down on her as a woman?
Looking at the expressions of these people, Bo Beibei's little excitement about being able to worship Master Rong as her teacher suddenly cooled down, but fortunately, Master Rong treated her very well and didn't mean to look down on her at all, otherwise this teacher would not be able to worship her. Bye is still a problem.

Bo Beibei thought it would be a simple process to pay homage to Master Rong, but unexpectedly it took a long time.

Waiting for the oldest man to ask someone to bring out a polished kitchen knife, put it on the Eight Immortals table in the middle of the hall, light the joss sticks, place the offerings, and bow down to the kitchen knife.

After being introduced by Master Rong, it was only then that Bai Beibei found out that this kitchen knife turned out to be an ancestral kitchen knife left by their master.

After paying homage to the relics of the ancestors, the oldest master presided over the ceremony, and the apprenticeship ceremony began.

At first, Bo Beibei thought that the apprentice ceremony was just pouring a cup of tea for Master Rong, but when he heard the "Master Uncle" read the family rules, Bo Beibei had the urge to retreat.

I don't know why, but Bo Beibei feels like she's on a thief's boat. How can learning cooking be so complicated? These house rules are so strict, how can she abide by them all?
Bo Beibei didn't know where these people lived before, but Master Rong summoned all these people here in one day?What kind of sect did she enter?
It was already noon after the teacher's ceremony. For lunch, all the uncles and brothers showed their skills. Looking at a table full of exquisite and delicious dishes, Bai Beibei didn't have the slightest appetite, because she felt that eating nothing was good at this time tasteless.

"Junior Sister, why do you eat so little?" A 15-year-old man sitting next to Bai Beibei asked with concern, then gave Bai Beibei a piece of crispy chicken and said, "Junior Sister, you are too thin , we need to eat more, as cooks, we must make ourselves fat first, so that others can trust our cooking skills."
