Farm Girl Turns Everything Around: Sly Husband, Let's Farm

Chapter 1280: Chapter 1079: A Heavy Gift for the Master_1 Chapter 1280: Chapter 1079: A Heavy Gift for the Master_1 Time swiftly passed, and soon the day of apprenticeship arrived.

After breakfast, Tong Sanlang and Yang Zheng bathed and changed their clothes, then paid respects to heaven and earth and to the sages. Lastly, Yang Zheng paid his respects to Tong Sanlang.

As a royal grandson, Yang Zheng was not required to kneel when taking on a master; a simple bow was sufficient.

After the ceremony, Yang Zheng presented his apprenticeship gifts: in addition to the traditional six gifts of ritual offerings, there was also a wooden chest containing banknotes–a total of two hundred thousand taels of silver.

This was money that Yang Hao had sent someone to withdraw from the Money House in town overnight. He had brought over two hundred thousand taels of silver for this trip, with two hundred thousand allocated for living expenses and the remaining tens of thousands certainly sufficient for other expenditures.

As it turned out, Qiao Xiaomai’s watermelons sold for an exorbitant price, so he felt embarrassed to eat for free and could only continue offering silver.

The chest full of banknotes left Tong Sanlang and Qiao Xiaomai stunned, both widening their eyes at Yang Hao, “Your Highness, what does this mean?”

“It’s the ritual offering.”

“But this is way too much,” Qiao Xiaomai was still flabbergasted.

“Not at all. I want Sanlang to teach Zhengzheng wholeheartedly. I hope he won’t hesitate to impart everything he can teach.”

On hearing this, Tong Sanlang hurriedly said, “Your Highness, I will of course teach with all my heart, but such a generous gift is too much for me to accept.”

“You must accept it. This is the compensation you deserve. Your Martial Arts skills are unrivaled, and if Zhengzheng can inherit your true legacy, even a million taels wouldn’t be too much,” Yang Hao said earnestly and sincerely, his tone firm and allowing no refusal.

Although he initially thought the two hundred thousand was for food expenses, on second thought, considering Tong Sanlang’s Martial Arts, he felt the amount wasn’t enough.

If Yang Zheng truly became the kind of emperor with both literary and martial skills, with strong determination and courage, as Yang Wenxiao hoped, what would be wrong with giving him another million or ten million taels?

Food expenses and the like were trivial; their family of three had come here to seek a master and learn.

However, Yang Hao’s words were sincere, and yet Tong Sanlang felt apprehensive. His Martial Arts were high mainly because of his good lightness skills. “In the world of Martial Arts, nothing beats speed,” making him appear very impressive.

But he couldn’t teach that to Yang Zheng!

Accepting such a considerable amount of silver for something he couldn’t teach made him uneasy.

“Your Highness, I cannot accept this banknote. Please take it back. I will do my utmost to instruct Prince Zheng and will not keep anything reserved,” he too put on an earnest and sincere face.

“You must accept it; this is an order,” Yang Hao was no longer interested in discussing the matter and simply issued a command.

Tong Sanlang “…”

The wooden chest was indeed heavy, so heavy that he could barely lift his arms.

What to do?

He really couldn’t teach lightness skills!

If the Yang Family felt he was holding back and intentionally not teaching, he would be unable to clear his name, even with ten mouths.

Qiao Xiaomai, standing on the side, also felt her heart suspended in mid-air.

Great, if Yang Zheng’s Martial Arts did not measure up to Tong Sanlang’s, she and her husband would not be able to explain themselves, even with a thousand mouths.

This wasn’t an apprenticeship gift; this was a gift that could cost them their lives!

Noticing the hesitation of the couple, Yang Hao’s face broke into a smile, “Every individual has different aptitudes, so there’s no need to force anything.

You just do your best to teach.”

They both breathed a sigh of relief at these words.

“Rest assured, Your Highness, I will do everything within my power,” Tong Sanlang said.

Yang Hao smiled and nodded.

Tong Sanlang placed the heavy wooden chest on the table, then took out the hand crossbow that he had just finished making the day before. He handed over the wooden chest containing the hand crossbow to Yang Zheng with a smile, “Prince Zheng, please open it and have a look.”
