Chapter 212 Got an extra apprentice?
When Lin Xiaofan woke up again, it was already three o'clock in the morning.
When he opened his eyes, he was in a luxurious room. There was a faint aroma in the room, a large table was decorated with various jade stones, and various landscape paintings were posted on the walls.
Li Hu stood at the door, with a bit of exhaustion in his eyes. He looked like he had not slept all night and had been staying here.
"Li Hu, what time is it now? Where are the others?"
Lin Xiaofan stretched and stood up, calling Li Hu over.
"Brother Lin, it's already three o'clock. Everyone else has gone to other guest rooms."
But I drank too much last night and seemed to have lost my drink. I only remembered that I promised Wen Ru something, but I couldn't remember what it was for a while.
No matter, let's go out and take a look first. I still have a lot of serious things to do.
Pushing open the door, there is a long corridor outside. At the door, two beautiful slaves stood quietly. Seeing Lin Xiaofan wake up, he quickly saluted.
"Sir, I will go and call my master for you."
A slave bowed and walked out of the corridor.
Lin Xiaofan stood on the corridor and opened a wooden window, revealing the garden outside.
The snow has not completely melted away, and among the white snow, several red flowers are blooming, which looks particularly stunning.
I have to say that the design of the Wen family's mansion is quite good. After he finishes these things, he will also find someone to design a mansion like this. Every day when you open the window, you can see the beautiful scenery. How can you feel bad?
Wen Ru came to greet him without letting him wait too long. Coming with him was a girl dressed in white.
The woman looked to be only sixteen or seventeen years old, with a standard oval face, fair skin, and a pair of big, watery eyes that looked timidly at Lin Xiaofan. After making eye contact, she lowered her head.
"Counselor Lin, you're awake."
Yesterday, they were drinking and chatting. He also asked Lin Xiaofan some questions about the art of war. Now he admires Lin Xiaofan even more. When the wine got to his head, he would worship Lin Xiaofan as his teacher.
Fortunately, Lin Xiaofan still had some sense at the time and refused the request. Otherwise, it would be a bit funny to think about having a disciple who is over forty years old and tall and thick.
Then, Wen Ru looked at the woman aside and spoke seriously.
"Call master quickly."
"what?"
Lin Xiaofan's expression changed. He had a drink. Why did he get an additional apprentice?
"Brother Lin, have you forgotten that at the end of the banquet last night, I proposed that you accept my daughter as your disciple? You agreed at the time and you are not allowed to go back on it."
Seeing Lin Xiaofan's appearance, Wen Ru explained.
"Wait, brother Wen Ru, let me take a moment."
Lin Xiaofan rubbed his head, thought for a while, and finally remembered something.
He was very drunk last night, and Wen Ru kept flattering him, saying that he was the best strategist of all time, and that if anything happened to him in Li Feng Town in the future, just look for him.
Wen Ru was very generous at that time, and finally asked Lin Xiaofan to accept his daughter as his disciple.
Lin Xiaofan was also drunk, thinking that Wen Ru had mentioned many things, including asking him to be a guest of the Wen family, asking him to accept him as his disciple, and asking him to serve as an official in Lifeng Town, but he rejected them one by one. If you reject this last thing, it would be too disrespectful to the other party.
So he got drunk and agreed, so he got an additional apprentice.
"master."
The woman lowered her head and raised her head to peek at Lin Xiaofan from time to time, with a slight blush on her face.
Although she is a woman, she has been very interested in the art of war since she was a child. She once studied the art of war to the point of forgetting to sleep and eat.
After hearing that Counselor Lin had defeated [-] coalition troops on the front line with his many tricks, she had a deep admiration for Lin Xiaofan and wanted to meet him in her dreams.
Now that she could worship him as her teacher, she felt excited.
And what surprised her was that this counselor Lin was so young, he looked no more than sixteen or seventeen years old, and he was also handsome.
"Brother Lin, this is my daughter Wenyue. She has been familiar with the art of war since she was a child and is extremely intelligent. When will the apprenticeship ceremony be held?"
Wen Ru didn't give Lin Xiaofan a chance to react, and then asked.
"Ah? Apprenticeship ceremony?"
Lin Xiaofan was still looking at Wen Yue's figure and appearance just now. Hearing this, he quickly waved his hand:
"No need, there is no need to hold this apprenticeship ceremony."
"Ah? Counselor Lin, how can this be done?"
Wen Ru wanted to say something else, but Lin Xiaofan interrupted first:
"Brother Wen Ru, every sect has its own rules. In our lineage, we have always kept things simple, and there is no such thing as a master ceremony. When my master accepted me as a disciple, it was not so complicated."
Lin Xiaofan just found an excuse to excuse himself.
He had learned so much knowledge in his previous life, and there was no such thing as apprenticeship ceremony.
After thinking about it for a moment or two, the anthology did not persuade me anymore:
"Okay, then everything depends on what Counselor Lin comes up with."
For a person like Counselor Xiang Lin who is an outstanding strategist, his sect is also very unpredictable.
It is normal for this kind of sect to have strange rules.
"Counselor Lin, after learning about your arrival, many families have sent you invitations, wanting to invite you to their homes. But since you are not awake yet, I will send you the invitations first. Take it."
As Wen Xuan spoke, a slave next to him took out a few pieces of jade and silk.
"There are four major families in our town of Lifeng, namely the Jiang family in the north of the city, the Guan family in the west of the city, the Qing family in the east of the city, and our Wen family in the south of the city. Among them, the Qingzhou Guan family is one of the eight major families in the capital. It is a branch of the official family in the capital, and therefore the most powerful among the four major families."
After hearing this, Lin Xiaofan took a few pieces of jade and silk and glanced at them.
If we visit one by one, I'm afraid it will waste a lot of time, so let's talk about it later.
While the two were chatting, a guard walked over quickly and whispered something in Wenxuan's ear.
After hearing this, Wenxuan's face became quite ugly.
"Counsel Lin, something happened in the family, and I need to deal with it. I'll excuse you now."
"Brother Wenxuan has something to do, so go ahead and get busy."
Lin Xiaofan also expressed understanding. Moreover, he has to go out to do errands now and is also preparing to leave.
"Yue'er, take your master and walk around the city."
Wenxuan left a few words and left, taking a few slaves with him.
For a moment, only Lin Xiaofan and Wen Yue were left in the corridor, and the scene fell into a bit of embarrassment.
"Well, master, how about you and I go for a walk?"
Wen Yue spoke shyly, breaking the silence.
"it is good."
Lin Xiaofan nodded. Now that he had just arrived, he had to go out on business and it would be nice to have a guide. And since he has accepted the other person as his master, this bond will last for decades, and the relationship will have to be cultivated.
