Chapter Nine, Brother You has great influence
"Not difficult." Zuo Xiao shook his head and said, "Master, there is something I need to discuss with you."
Oh? Seeing that Zuo Xiaoyou was serious, Ye Wen said to those disciples: "Continue practicing." Then he said to Zuo Xiaoyou: "Go inside and talk."
After leaving with Huang Liang, Huang Liang stared at Zuo Xiaoyou, his eyes constantly darting around. Without needing to look, he knew that Zuo Xiaoyou was bursting with gossip. Zuo Xiaoyou, annoyed by the gaze, coldly said: "No talking, no asking, keep your eyes forward."
Good
What is the relationship between teaching martial arts and foreigners? Huang Liang does not understand
I see. Left Xiao nodded and said, "I will inform the master. By the way, should we tell Uncle Hong about this matter?"
"What are you saying! I can't defeat you?" Aki was furious
No need. "Zuo Xiaoyou waved his hand and said: 'You have captured Yip Man's disciple, haven't you?'"
Right Brother! Just as Left Little Right and Huang Liang were about to leave, Aki suddenly remembered something and hurriedly called out to him
Li Hongji Fish Stall, this stall certainly did not get into a fight
Oh, yes
Zuo Xiao You pushed Huang Liang and said: "I'm leaving." He turned to Aji Dao and said: "Please inform Hong Bo to arrange for my master to challenge various martial arts schools."
This is how it is. Aki quickly recounted the rules for opening a school and accepting disciples in Xiangjiang, "Therefore, Brother You's master must stand up to accept challenges from the masters of various martial arts schools. As long as he can endure for the duration of a stick of incense, that will suffice. Then, by paying a monthly fee of 100 yuan, he can teach martial arts safely and soundly."
"One hundred yuan per month, isn't that too much?" Ye Wen frowned. He currently has only a dozen or so disciples, and with a tuition fee of five yuan each month, it only adds up to a few dozen yuan, which is simply not enough to pay the membership fee
"It's settled then," said Zuo Xiaoyou with a smile as he stood up. "I'll go find a seat; you must come tonight."
Zuo Xiaoyou smiled and encouraged, "Master, I believe you are the most formidable. Perhaps in the future, your Wing Chun can spread across the world, and you can become a generation's grandmaster!"
The crowd hurriedly released Huang Liang from the pool, and no one dared to treat him roughly. They politely untied the rope from Huang Liang's wrist, accompanied by smiling faces. However, Huang Liang did not appreciate their kindness and appeared cold and indifferent.
Alright. Seeing that both parties have taken a step back, Zuo Xiaoyou let out a sigh of relief and said: "This matter is all a misunderstanding, and it's good to have it cleared up. So, tonight I will host, at 7 PM, at Yu Ji Da Pai Dang, and let's invite the brothers. Ah Liang, you should also bring your junior disciples over so that we can get to know each other and avoid any misunderstandings in the future"
A You
What! ? '' Aki and everyone were stunned
Bowing to foreigners... Huang Liang's tone seemed a bit off
It was unexpected that the little girl's father was a master of Hung Gar Kung Fu. Ye Wen found this matter quite convoluted; his disciple had a conflict with the other party, which consequently led to the establishment of the rules for opening a school and teaching students
"Brother You, what brings you here?" The few people who were playing cards were somewhat surprised to see Zuo Xiaoyou, yet they stood up with smiles on their faces.
Huang Liang was already bewildered, not expecting that his senior brother was acquainted with everyone here, and it seemed he had quite a reputation. He couldn't help but feel increasingly respectful towards this senior brother.
Take this. " He shoved it into his hand, saying, "No matter what, this time it was my junior apprentice who caused the trouble, we cannot let the brothers work in vain.
"Alright." Ye Wen gritted his teeth and said, "I accept the challenges from masters of various martial arts schools."
Son-in-law! Suddenly, Huang Liang raised his head, dumbfounded.
"Master, do not worry." Zuo Xiaoyou said, "I will take care of the initial membership fee..."
"Alright, I will definitely be there." Aki stood up to see him off
Well
Because of the presence of Zuo Xiaoyou, Aji did not come on too strong; instead, he awkwardly said: "I did not know that Brother Huang is the junior disciple of Right Ge. If I had known, I certainly would not have... Hey! This is truly like a flood washing away the Dragon King's temple, where one family does not recognize another family."
"Brother You, it seems that your master has not yet been approved to teach martial arts. Are you aware of this?" Aki inquired
Of course, it must be mentioned. Aki said with a hint of pride: "The rules of the Hong Kong Martial Arts School are established by the master, not out of the master's tyranny. Most of the membership fees collected by each martial arts school are used to facilitate communication with foreigners. Without the master's mediation, they would have no way to teach martial arts safely."
Having said that, he took out one hundred yuan from his pocket and handed it to Aki, saying: "This is for the brothers to have some tea, everyone can disperse now"
Thank you, Brother You. " Aki took the money and said to the brothers around, " Why aren't you thanking Brother You yet? "
Since that time when he went to treat Hong Zhenan, Zuo Xiaoyou has been going over almost every day to tutor the young girl or to narrate the Three Kingdoms to those rough men and little kids. Influenced by Yi Zhongtian, Zuo Xiaoyou's storytelling of the Three Kingdoms has become exceptionally vivid and engaging. After finishing his martial arts lessons, Hong Zhenan and his disciples most enjoy listening to Zuo Xiaoyou recount a segment of the Three Kingdoms
"Ah Liang, be quiet!" Zuo Xiaoyou scolded, "What do you understand! When a person is under a roof, they must bow their head. If it weren't for Uncle Hong mediating, many people would be left without food. Those who can endure hardship for the sake of others are the true heroes"
Rest assured, Brother You, I will take care of it.
And that group of disciples gradually reached a consensus about Zuo Xiaoyou—he would be the future son-in-law of their master
Thank you, Brother You
"It's nothing." Huang Liang shook his head and said, "Master, I have troubled you."
After listening to Zuo Xiaoyou's account, Ye Wen hardly paid attention to anything else, but he distinctly registered the fact that there were one hundred disciples, each paying a tuition fee of five hundred yuan per month
For a struggling martial arts master, nothing is more important than being able to easily earn more money. Currently, he relies on his disciples for food and shelter; if this matter succeeds, he will be able to free himself from their gifts and become self-sufficient. Upon careful consideration, such temptation is simply irresistible
With such a relationship, these apprentices faced Zuo Xiaoyou much like they would face Hong Zhenan. Zuo Xiaoyou's easygoing nature and humorous speech further enhanced the apprentices' favorable impression of him, and they all held him in high regard
The pie drawn by Zuo Xiao and You Hua is too large and too tempting, even the homebody Ip Man cannot help but feel a flutter in his heart. However, as a master, he cannot show this in front of his disciples, so he masked it with a laugh and a scolding, saying: "Stop dreaming."
Zuo Xiao You sighed and said: "You have captured my junior apprentice."
"Good." Huang Liang nodded.
The master is still at the martial arts school" Left Little Right asked: "A Liang, what happened?"
Ah Liang! Upon seeing his disciple return safely, Ye Wen was very pleased and hurried over to check on Huang Liang's condition, asking: "Are you alright?"
Huang Liang closed his mouth and obediently followed Zuo Xiaoyou back to the rooftop
Zuo Xiao smiled and thought to himself: Master, this is not a dream! By the 21st century, there are very few people who know Wing Chun.
Zuo Xiaoyou shook his head and said: "Speak slowly, first release the person."
As soon as Zuo Xiaoyou arrived, Hong Zhennan's eldest disciple Aji quickly offered a cigarette
How did Brother You know?" Aki was taken aback and said, "That's right, that kid has been posting advertisements everywhere and even blocked our posters. We tore down the advertisements, and when that kid dared to retaliate, we just captured him.
"Who allowed the foreigners to control Hong Kong now!" Aki also felt a bit helpless: "You don't know, in order for us apprentices and those martial artists to have something to eat, the master has endured quite a bit of hardship with the foreigners.
What happened?" Left Xiao turned around.
"Less talk." Zuo Xiaoyou shot a glare at Aki, who awkwardly chuckled with a silly grin.
Aki's heart sank, realizing that he had gotten himself into trouble this time. He quickly shouted to the others, "What are you still standing there for? Let them go."
Seeing the disheveled Huang Liang, Zuo Xiaoyou asked, "A Liang, are you alright?"
"It's good that there is nothing wrong." Ye Wen smiled, turned to look at Zuo Xiaoyou, his eyes filled with appreciation: "Ah You, you have worked hard."
"How?" Left and right, with a deliberate frown: "Is teaching martial arts still subject to approval? Who should I seek approval from?"
"Brother You, we cannot accept this money." Aki quickly declined.
The three of them pulled over a few stools and sat down. On the left, Xiao was listening as Aki and Huang Liang recounted the events leading up to this matter, which indeed matched the details he was already aware of.
Upon learning that Aki has a good relationship with the senior master, Huang Liang also took a step back: "No, I was too impulsive."
One person spoke, and Huang Liang fell silent, but Aki was very excited: "You, Brother You, really understand Master. No wonder Master always wants you to be his son-in-law"
Zuo Xiaoyou waved his hand and said: "Everyone is busy. Aki, let's have a talk"
"Master, please listen to me," said Zuo Xiaoyou. "As the saying goes, if the name is not correct, the words will not be smooth. As long as you, Master, accept the challenge, with your skills, you will surely attract many young people to learn our Wing Chun. Hong Bo has over 200 disciples, and just from the tuition fees, he earns more than 1,000 yuan every month. I believe you are no worse than Hong Bo. If you can draw with him in the ring, even if you don't have 200 disciples in the future, surely you can have at least 100! That way, you would earn 500 yuan in tuition fees every month, and it would be very easy to take out 100 yuan for the membership fee."
They spoke to me about honing their skills, yet they are not enough for me to engage with, what does it have to do with me! Huang Liang said fiercely
In the storeroom, Zuo Xiaoyou recounted in detail what had happened at the fish stall, and then stated the rules that must be followed in martial arts training, saying: "Master, this is how the events unfolded. I have already asked Aki to have Hong Bo arrange the challenge, so Master only needs to be prepared to accept the challenge."
"Brother You, how can I accept this?" Previously, Zuo Xiaoyou had already given one hundred yuan, and now he is going to treat us again in the evening. Aki truly feels a bit embarrassed.
"It's nothing." Huang Liang shook his head and asked, "Senior Brother, what brings you here? Where is Master?"
Zuo Xiao raised his hand to stop him and said, "Don't be impulsive. Let's sit down and resolve this slowly."
