Chapter 139 The Son is a Villain 8

Chao Yao and Wanqi Xiao arrived on time, and they both dressed up today.

Chao Yao, dressed in gorgeous clothes, is like the epitome of wealth.

She wore a hairpin inlaid with jade and pearls, which was finely carved to look like clouds swirling around her, sparkling brightly.

This step-shaking crown complements her black hair, adding a touch of mystery and nobility.

With every step she took, there was almost no sign of the hairpin shaking.

Wanqi Xiao's outfit today makes him look even cuter and more lively.

He was wearing a bright blue brocade robe embroidered with delicate cloud patterns, which looked like clouds floating in the sky, fresh and natural.

The color of the brocade robe matched his hair color, making his eyes look even clearer and brighter.

On his head he wore an exquisite golden crown, inlaid with a crystal clear gem that shone like a star.

The golden crown complements his brocade robe, highlighting his nobility and loveliness.

His face is childish and his skin is as white as jade.

Her eyebrows are curved like willow leaves.

Her eyes are big, like two shining stars.

He has a small and straight nose, a cute rosy mouth, and when he smiles, he shows a row of neat and white teeth, making people want to pinch his face.

Wanqi Xiao had a small gold collar around his neck, inlaid with a yellow gem, which matched the color of his clothes perfectly.

She wore a pair of small gold bracelets on her wrists, which were engraved with exquisite patterns, adding a touch of elegance.

When everyone saw the mother and son's attire, they felt relieved.

Although the boss is an orphan and a widow, he is rich.

County Magistrate Zhang smiled more today than ever before. He walked towards the wealthy mother and son and was the first to say hello.

"Madam Chao, congratulations!"

Chao Yao smiled slightly, "We still have to rely on Master Zhang. Without your management, how could the commercial street be built?"

Magistrate Zhang was very pleased with Chao Yao's words. He laughed and said, "Madam Chao, you are too polite. The time has come and there are still many people waiting outside. Let's get started."

The opening ceremony of Chaoyao and Wanqixiao's commercial streets was grand and lively.

The streets are lined with red lanterns, extending along the streets like a long red dragon dancing in the night sky.

Dragon and lion dances are basically necessary activities. People enjoy watching them and it creates a lively atmosphere.

When it comes to speaking, there has been basically no major changes from ancient times to the present.

Chao Yao took Wanqi Xiao forward and spoke first, followed by County Magistrate Zhang.

"I am honored to attend the opening ceremony of the commercial street of Madam Chao and her son today. They have made great contributions to the local people, and the opening of this commercial street has injected new vitality into the local economic development. Here, I would like to express my warm congratulations on the opening of the commercial street and wish the commercial street a prosperous business and abundant financial resources. At the same time, I also hope that Madam Chao and her son can continue to seek benefits for the local people and benefit the area."

His expectations were simple, so he stated them directly.

The applause from the crowd was getting louder and louder, and Magistrate Zhang reached out to suppress it.

"There is one more thing today. I will accept Madam Chao's son Wei Xiao as my student. He will be my only student in the future."

The cheers from the crowd grew louder. Magistrate Zhang was extremely respected in Huangwu County. He had been here for a long time and had a high prestige.

Wanqi Xiao stood up with a solemn look, and County Magistrate Zhang helped him straighten his clothes.

Then, under the guidance of Magistrate Zhang, he performed the ritual of washing his hands. According to Magistrate Zhang's request, he had to wash his hands in a basin.

The washing method is to wash it once on the front and back, then wipe dry.

The meaning of washing hands is to cleanse the hands and mind, to remove impurities and retain essence, in the hope that one can concentrate on future studies without distractions. This also shows sincerity and respect for the apprenticeship.

The next step is to perform the kowtow ceremony. Wanqi Xiao should kneel on both knees, kowtow three times, and present a letter of submission to his teacher.

But for some reason, as soon as he bent his knees, suddenly the whole sky was filled with lightning and thunder, and the purple lightning seemed to tear County Magistrate Zhang to pieces.

The more Wanqi Xiao tried to kneel, the closer the thunder and lightning came.

This scene scared everyone out of their wits.

"God won't allow it!"

Some people in the crowd began to howl, "God won't allow this! This apprenticeship ceremony won't work!"

Magistrate Zhang also realized this. It was obvious that God did not allow Wanqi Xiao to kneel.

"No thanks, no thanks. Please don't kneel down."

He quickly helped Wanqi Xiao up. He had no idea where this kid came from and how he could be so capable.

Wanqi Xiao stood up straight, the thunderclouds retreated, and the sky was clear, as if the wrath of heaven and earth just now had never existed.

Chao Yao looked at this scene and felt that his son's identity became even more mysterious.

This was also the case when she saw Wanqi Xiao practicing. All the spiritual energy seemed to be a part of him. If it weren't for his still young body, all the spiritual energy would have flowed into his body.

"Master..."

As soon as Wanqi Xiao said these two words, there was a sudden thunder in the sky.

"No, no, no, this apprenticeship ceremony won't work. I will still teach you knowledge in the future, but we will no longer be master and apprentice."

County Magistrate Zhang was really scared. It seemed that God really would not allow him to accept Wanqi Xiao as his disciple.

Wanqi Xiao said seriously, "Master Zhang cannot accept me as a student today, but you must teach me in the future. I should pay the six rituals and pay the tuition, but how about not being called 'teacher' in the future?"

Although he is small, he does know the big picture.

County Magistrate Zhang was a little dizzy from the thunder and felt a little embarrassed.

After Wanqi Xiao said this, he finally had a way out.

"Okay, I'll accept the gift, but we won't be master and apprentice in the future."

Wanqi Xiao took the six-gift package from Chao Yao and presented them to County Magistrate Zhang one by one.

The six gifts are celery, which symbolizes diligence and love of study, lotus seeds, which symbolize the bitterness of the lotus seed heart and painstaking education, red beans, which symbolize good luck, red dates, which symbolize passing the imperial examination early, longan, which symbolizes fulfillment of one's merits, and dried lean meat strips to express Wanqi Xiao's kindness.

The people watching below had not yet recovered from their fear, and some had already run back.

Chao Yao also realized that this was not a good idea. His commercial street and Wanqi Xiao's apprenticeship ceremony had encountered such a situation on the first day, which would give people a negative impression.

She thought about it for a long time, and waved her hands in her wide sleeves a few times, and a rainbow slowly appeared in front of the stone gate of the commercial street.

The rainbow is a good sign, and when everyone saw it, their fears were mostly calmed down.

"It seems that God only forbids me from becoming a disciple, but agrees with everything else."

"Maybe it's because the young master has a great background, so it's like this."

"It's been years since I last saw this colorful bridge!"

"To be able to see this scene in this life is worthwhile."

……

The public's tone gradually changed, and County Magistrate Zhang followed suit and announced the opening of the commercial street together with Chao Yao.
