Siheyuan: Jie Hu Lou Xiao'e

When Su Ci heard that Uncle Guan had agreed to accept him as his disciple, he quickly knelt down and performed the apprenticeship ceremony.

No matter in which era, as long as you want to become a master, this apprenticeship ceremony is indispensable. Similarly, only by performing the apprenticeship ceremony can you be considered a member of the master's sect.

"Okay! Okay, okay! Since I agreed to accept you as my apprentice and accepted your apprenticeship ceremony, I naturally can't be stingy. I went out in a hurry today and didn't bring any gifts, so I'll give you these two small porcelain vases."

After Uncle Guan laughed twice, he handed the two small porcelain bottles to Su Ci.

Su Ci took it with both hands and thanked him before standing up.

The deaf old lady looked at the two people in front of her and felt happy from the bottom of her heart.

"Old lady, I plan to take my apprentice to Mr. Niu's tavern, and bring some books with Mr. Niu back for Xiao Su to read, and also let him say hello to Mr. Niu. Do you think so?

?”

Uncle Guan said.

Although he has accepted Su Ci as his apprentice, in terms of seniority, the deaf old lady is the eldest in the room.

Besides, Su Ci is the grandson of the deaf old lady, so he naturally wants to say hello to the deaf old lady.

The deaf old lady nodded in agreement.

After getting the deaf old lady's permission, Uncle Guan took Su Ci and left the yard.

Along the way, Uncle Guan asked Su Ci a lot of questions, and he didn't stop until he arrived at a tavern.

As soon as the two got out of the car, a man also wearing a gray gown came up to them.

And this man is the Mr. Niu mentioned by Uncle Guan!

On the way, Su Ci heard from Uncle Guan that this Mr. Niu was also a great person. He was forthright, loyal, and had the style of an uncle from the capital city!

"Rare guest, rare guest, what brought you, Mr. Guan, here? You need to have a good drink today."

Mr. Niu bowed his hands and said.

"Master Niu, you are so polite. You actually came out to greet me in person. I'm really surprised."

Uncle Guan returned the gift with cupped fists.

After the two exchanged pleasantries, Mr. Niu welcomed them into the tavern.

The three of them found a table and sat down, then ordered some Beijing specialty snacks.

"Uncle Guan, I've been curious since I just walked in. The little brother next to you is a bit unfamiliar. He doesn't look like the people in our circle."

Mr. Niu said.

Uncle Guan took a sip of tea and looked at Master Niu.

"I'm not afraid of your ridicule, Master Niu. This is the bad disciple I just accepted today. Please take care of me, Master Niu, in the future!"

Now Mr. Niu was shocked and looked at Uncle Guan in disbelief.

He knew that Uncle Guan had not accepted any apprentices for many years, and none of the apprentices he accepted was mediocre.

The young man in front of me must have some special ability to be noticed by Uncle Guan.

Thinking of this, Mr. Niu became more and more curious.

"Uncle Guan, with your vision, you will not accept a disciple easily. It seems that this little brother has some abilities. Why don't you show me your skills?"

Uncle Guan naturally knows what Mr. Niu means.

"Xiao Su, Master Niu wants to test you. What do you say?"

Uncle Guan suddenly threw the words to Su Ci, and Su Ci naturally had to continue.

"This junior is not very talented, but I still have some confidence in my eyesight. As long as Mr. Niu shows the antiques to the boy, he can tell the year he is in."

Su Ci said.

After hearing this, Mr. Niu turned around and went into the house. When he came out, he had a teapot in his hand.

Place the teapot in front of Su Ci.

"Boy, please take a look at it and tell me the year of this teapot later."

Mr. Niu said.

Su Ci opened his True Eyes, picked up the teapot and looked around before carefully returning the teapot to Mr. Niu.

Niuye asked the result of the teapot.

"Master Niu, this teapot of yours has a long history. I would say it dates back to the Ming Dynasty, and it was also the early Ming Dynasty. Is this junior right?"

Su Ci said.

This time Mr. Niu was shocked.

"Uncle Guan, your apprentice is really amazing, not bad at all."

Mr. Niu smiled.

Uncle Guan later told Mr. Niu that Su Ci had never studied antiques. Mr. Niu was even more surprised and even said that there was someone to succeed Mr. Guan.

Later, Uncle Guan and Master Niu gave Su Ci some rules in the antique world, such as not stepping over other people's stalls, only moving forward or exiting, not using friends to bargain, and not taking other buyers' hands.

Look at things inside......

While the three of them were chatting animatedly, Mr. Niu's family members rushed out of Mr. Niu's room with a bunch of books in their arms.

Because Uncle Guan said he was looking for books for Su Ci, Master Niu sorted them out.

When Niu Ye's family put the book in front of Su Ci, Su Ci's eyes lit up and he stared at the book in front of him.

Uncle Guan looked at Su Ci and naturally knew that Su Ci was eager to learn, so he asked him to read it first and then give him some pointers if he was unclear.

After Su Ci nodded, he picked up a book and read it immersedly.

It was already evening before he knew it. Seeing how engaged Su Ci was, Uncle Guan didn't intend to disturb him.

But looking at the sky, I knew it was getting late.

"Xiao Su, it's getting late, take these books home and read them slowly!"

Uncle Guan said.

Only then did Su Ci realize the time. He looked up at the sky and realized that it was indeed getting late, so he was about to stand up and leave.

Before leaving, I returned a few more books to Mr. Niu.

"What? These books are not interesting to you?" Mr. Niu asked.

Su Ci quickly explained.

"Master Niu, it's not that I'm not interested, it's just that I've read all the basic books and memorized them all."

Master Niu and Uncle Guan were shocked again!

"Boy, antiques are not something you can learn quickly. Since you said you remember them all, let me test you."

Mr. Niu said.

Afterwards, Master Niu asked a few questions about antique appreciation, and Su Ci answered them fluently.

Uncle Guan and Master Niu were shocked again, and even said that Su Ci was a rare talent that could only be seen in a century.

After saying goodbye to Master Niu, Su Ci returned to the yard.

For several days in a row, Su Ci would go back to the house and read a book as soon as he got off work. If something happened, he would take the book to the security department to read it.

On this day, Su Ci was looking at antique books in the security department as before, when suddenly Director Yang's voice came from outside the door.

"Xiao Su, come out, I'll see you if I need anything."

Su Ci put down the books in his hands and hurried out.

"Director Yang, what do you want from me?"

Su Ci asked.

"Now put down everything you are doing and come with me. There is a leader who wants to see you."

After speaking, Director Yang took Su Ci and walked towards the parking lot.

Su Ci followed Director Yang to the parking lot of the steel rolling mill. Although it was called a parking lot, it was actually just an open space with only a few cars on it.

The two got into the car quickly. After the car started to leave the gate of the steel rolling mill, Director Yang suddenly looked at Su Ci.

"Xiao Su, the place we are going to is the big boss's house later. When we get there, just say whatever the big boss asks. If he doesn't ask, you won't say anything. Don't talk nonsense. Do you know?"

Director Yang said.

Su Ci said he knew it, but in his heart he was thinking that the big boss calling me over this time must be for the technical reform of the factory. If I don't say it, why should you?

Along the way, Director Yang took care of some things for Su Ci, but in summary, it was nothing more than don't look around, don't touch around, don't talk around, etc.

Soon, the car stopped at the entrance of a compound.

The driver, Xiao Wang, opened the back seat door. After the two got off the car, Director Yang gave Xiao Wang a few words and then took Su Ci into the courtyard.

The style of the compound was somewhat Western. Director Yang asked Su Ci not to run around and just follow him.

Soon the two entered a room, where Director Wang was waiting for them.

Seeing the two men arriving, Director Wang stepped forward and was polite to Director Yang, then turned to look at Su Ci.

"Director Wang, this is Su Ci, the chief of the Security Section of our factory that I mentioned to you before. He led the machine improvement and production reform of the factory this time."

Director Yang said.
