After sitting down on the second floor and ordering food, Xiang Nan came to the kitchen on the pretext of convenience.

"Why are Master Lu here again? Do you want to invite you to the capital again to treat that so-and-so Gege?" Sai Xishi asked worriedly when he saw him.

Xiang Nan nodded, "Your guess is quite accurate. Bingxue is indeed smart."

"Then have you agreed?" Sai Xishi asked again quickly.

Xiang Nan nodded.

"Oh, you really don't want to die?" Sai Xishi stretched out his delicate hand, poked Xiang Nan's forehead with one finger and said, "I told you the other day, you can't go to the capital..."

"I understand the truth, but my arm can't twist it!" Xiang Nan sighed, "Master Lu came with the prince's decree this time. If I don't go, it will be disobeying the decree, but I have to squat.

From the big prison."

When Sai Xishi heard what he said, he couldn't help but be speechless.

Indeed, for ordinary people like them, even the Grand Master of Qipin County is considered a great official, let alone a prince. If he gets angry, his life will be ruined.

"Besides, only the prince can make the decision to marry you to me. If I don't give it a try, how can I marry you home?" Xiang Nan smiled again.

"Oh, you are such a rude person." When Sai Xishi heard this, he was immediately embarrassed and irritated, "People are worried about you, but you only care about joking."

"Okay, I understand what you are thinking, and I will be careful." Xiang Nan nodded.

"Well, you must be careful." Sai Xishi looked at Xiang Nan affectionately and urged.

…

After eating, Lu Zhengming took Xiang Nan and Defu on the road and headed straight to the capital.

Although Xiang Nan doesn't like Defu's talkativeness and trouble-making, he actually knows that this apprentice is not good at all, but he does have loyalty and filial piety.

In the play, although he caused a lot of trouble, he also did a lot of good things, which cannot be generalized.

"Son, when we go to the capital this time to treat Gege, we have to be careful about everything." Xiang Nan said in the car, "Remember, you must be careful in your words and deeds. Don't say what you shouldn't say and don't do what you shouldn't do.

Don’t do anything, remember?”

"Then Master, what are the words that should be said, what should not be said, what are the things that should be done, and what are the things that should not be done?" Defu asked with a smile.

"Just remember one thing: Master tells you to speak, and you speak again. Master doesn't tell you to speak, so keep your mouth shut. Otherwise, you'll get a slap in the face if you say anything." Xiang Nan instructed,

"If Master asks you to do something, you should do it again. If you don't do something you are not asked to do, you must not do it. Otherwise, if you do something, you will get a thumbs up. Do you remember everything?"

He had watched a documentary before, which talked about ginseng pickers from the Northeast going into the mountains to pick ginseng. There were a lot of rules for picking ginseng, and one of them Xiang Nan remembered very clearly.

That is, except when seeing wild ginseng, ginseng pickers must not make any noise at other times. This rule is established to prevent distraction.

Once someone breaks this rule, he or she will put stones in his basket. The stones are heavy and difficult to carry. If he breaks this rule a few times, he will remember the lesson and will never talk nonsense again.

Defu is Xilaile, and Hu Suhua has raised her as a son since she was a child, so she is a bit frivolous and impetuous. He is not as disciplined as other apprentices. He said a lot of things that he shouldn't say, did a lot of things that he shouldn't do, and caused a lot of trouble.

trouble.

So Xiang Nan specially thought of this method to treat him, but he didn't believe that his stinking problem could not be corrected.

"Master, are you too cruel?" Defu was startled and said in surprise.

He was slapped and slapped on the hand at every turn, which has never happened before.

"Son, where is the capital? It's a place where high-ranking officials gather, where celebrities and gentry gather. Anyone who picks jobs, carries burdens, sells vegetables, or sells food may have someone behind them, and you can't afford to offend them.

If you are not careful with your words or actions, you may offend others at any time. When the time comes, people will deal with you, but they will not be as kind as Master." Xiang Nan explained, "So I will clear it up for you first, so as not to hurt you.

Go out and offend others."

"Master, what you said is too exaggerated, isn't it?" Defu obviously didn't believe it.

"Master Lu, do you think I am right?" Xiang Nan stuck his head out and asked Lu Zhengming who was standing on the horse.

"Yes, there are three religions and nine schools in the capital, and there is a mixture of good and bad. Defu, you should be more careful." Lu Zhengming nodded.

This time, their master and apprentice went to the palace to treat Gege. They should be careful in what they say and do. Otherwise, they would violate taboos, get into trouble, and make the prince and Fujin unhappy, which would really cause some trouble.

"If that's the case, then I won't go." Upon hearing this, Defu suddenly made a bitter look on his face.

He originally thought it would be a great thing to follow his master to the capital to see Gege. So when he first came here, he was very happy. He didn't expect it to be so dangerous. If he had known it would be like this, he shouldn't have come.

"Then go down and walk back to Cangzhou by yourself." Xiang Nan nodded.

"..." Defu was stunned for a moment.

They had traveled by car for most of the day, and now they were almost at Bazhou, which was two hundred miles away from Cangzhou. If they were to walk back, they would be paralyzed from exhaustion.

Besides, he didn't really want to go back. He was just being coquettish so that Xiang Nan would let him go. After all, it was his first time to go to such a prosperous place in the capital, and he was full of curiosity, so how could he be willing to go back halfway.

"If you don't get out of the car, just be honest and obedient." Xiang Nan said immediately, "Son, you are seventeen this year, and you will be able to marry a wife after the new year.

When my master was your age, he left his apprenticeship. You are still an apprentice now, do you know where the difference is?"

"Where's the difference?" DeFu asked curiously.

"The only problem is that you have an unstable temperament. You are irritable and uncertain when things happen. How can master trust you to let you become a disciple?" Xiang Nan glared at him and said, "When you go to the capital this time, you should watch carefully and learn from it.

, open your eyes and gain knowledge. If you do well, Master will allow you to become a disciple."

"Really?!" Defu said happily after hearing this.

After he became a master, he could take charge of his own business and was known as Zhang Langzhong!

Moreover, after working alone, your salary can also increase. If you work for a few more years, you can even open your own pharmacy and make money by yourself. It is really beautiful to think about.

"When did master lie to you?" Xiang Nan nodded.

"Humph, why don't you lie to me anymore?" Defu said with a flat mouth.

Xilaile had cheated him a lot of money before to eat braised lion's head across the street, but later she refused to pay the bill and even used her daughter-in-law Hu Suhua's pearl beauty cream to pay off his debt.

"Okay, I just promise not to lie to you this time." Xiang Nan smiled awkwardly, thinking that it's no wonder that Defu is not in tune, and it's not enough to be a master who dares to love Xilaile.

"Then you swear." DeFu demanded.

"I swear, if I break my promise, I will be struck by thunder, okay?" Xiang Nan raised his hand and swore.

"That's pretty much it." Defu chuckled.
