杰克知道丹尼爾的意思,這無非就是不愿意,向晚晴知道不可能那么順利的,向晚晴張嘴說道:“Teacher, Daniel, I know that there are countless people who come to you for a apprenticeship. I came here today with a brave face, because I think you just didn't meet a suitable apprentice.丹尼爾老師,我知道找您拜師的人數(shù)不勝數(shù),我今天也是硬著頭皮來了,因?yàn)槲蚁肽皇菦]有遇到合適的徒弟而已。”
丹尼爾哈哈大笑起來。
“Miss Xiang. But I'm old now, and I don't usually have any patient temper. Are you sure to study with me?向小姐,可是我現(xiàn)在高齡了,而且平時(shí)沒有什么耐心的脾氣,你和我學(xué)習(xí)……”
沒等丹尼爾說完,向晚晴堅(jiān)定的說道:“No matter what, I am willing to pay. There is a Chinese sayingGu Maolu, if it doesn't work once, I'll do it again and again until you agree. This is my sincerity.無論什么,我都愿意付出,中國(guó)有句話說的好,三顧茅廬,如果一次不行,我就兩次,周而復(fù)始,直到您同意為止,這是我的誠(chéng)意?!?p> 丹尼爾第一次聽到一個(gè)女生為了求學(xué),竟然愿意三顧茅廬,雖然自己沒去過中國(guó),但是三顧茅廬的典故自己也是知道的。
杰克剛要解釋的時(shí)候,丹尼爾站起來,對(duì)杰克說道:“Don't bring everyone here in the future. Besides, I'm taking a lunch break.以后不要什么人都往這里帶,另外我要午休了?!?p> 杰克知道丹尼爾的意思,就是趕他們走。
向晚晴和杰克離開了湖中小屋,向晚晴回頭看著那個(gè)小木屋,她暗下決心,自己一定要拜這個(gè)丹尼爾為師。
杰克在一旁安慰向晚晴。
“My teacher is like this. For so many years, many people want to be his students, but no one.我老師就這樣子,這么多年很多人都想成為他學(xué)生,可是沒有人。”
向晚晴看著杰克,沒有說話,杰克解釋道:“I am an exception. I am an orphan. I met my teacher by chance, and then I followed him. Later, when Joanna left, my teacher never laughed.我是例外,我是孤兒,我是在一次偶然的機(jī)會(huì)認(rèn)識(shí)了老師,然后就跟著他了,后來喬安娜老師的離開,讓老師沒有笑過一次?!?p> 向晚晴自己給自己打氣。
“It doesn't matter, China's humble abode, I would like to.沒關(guān)系,中國(guó)的三顧茅廬,我愿意?!?p> 后來。
向晚晴開始每天都會(huì)準(zhǔn)時(shí)準(zhǔn)點(diǎn)來湖中小屋等著丹尼爾,丹尼爾也知道向晚晴站在房子外面。
第三天的時(shí)候,早晨天氣明顯陰沉很多,丹尼爾看了外面的天氣,搖了搖頭,中午下起了大雨,丹尼爾提前進(jìn)入了午休。
向晚晴沒有放棄她站在屋外敲了一次門,沒有人開門,她就站在那里,后來雨停了,丹尼爾下床打開門看到了已經(jīng)昏倒了的向晚晴,連忙扶起來放在沙發(fā)上,拿出熱毛巾放在了向晚晴的額頭上,拿出了一張?zhí)鹤由w在了向晚晴的身上,逐漸的向晚晴醒來了,看到了丹尼爾正在畫圖稿,向晚晴咳嗽了一聲,丹尼爾回頭看了一眼,指責(zé)說道:“Why are you so stubborn, this child?你這孩子,怎么那么固執(zhí)呢?”
向晚晴虛弱的說道:“Because of sincerity, I must learn from you.因?yàn)檎\(chéng)意,我一定要拜您為師。”
丹尼爾站起來拿起桌子上的熱水還有感冒藥給了向晚晴,向晚晴接過來老老實(shí)實(shí)的吃了藥,丹尼爾坐在了向晚晴的旁邊說道:“You're not afraid of my poisoning?你不害怕我下毒?”
向晚晴咳嗽了一聲,繼續(xù)說道:“Not afraid.不怕?!?p> 丹尼爾拿起桌子上喬安娜之前設(shè)計(jì)的圖稿給了向晚晴,向晚晴接過來,看了看,喬安娜之前也是著名設(shè)計(jì)大學(xué)畢業(yè)的高材生,后來因?yàn)榧膊∽寙贪材扔⒛暝缡拧?p> 丹尼爾在一旁看著向晚晴詢問道:“What do you see from these drawings?你從這幾張圖紙看到了什么?”
向晚晴應(yīng)答。
“I saw teacher Joanna's blessing.我看到了喬安娜老師的祝福。”
丹尼爾很意外,面前的女人說的話。和其他之前來拜師說的話,不一樣。
“What blessing?什么祝福?”
向晚晴微笑的說道。
“Teacher, I hope you can be as sunny as sunflowers and as bright as the moon like this sign.喬安娜老師,希望您能像這個(gè)logo一樣有向日葵的向陽,還有像月亮一樣的皎潔?!?p> 丹尼爾聽了向晚晴的話,看了外面的太陽,抬手看了一眼時(shí)間,時(shí)間不早了。
丹尼爾把向晚晴手里的圖紙收回來,對(duì)向晚晴說道:“It's getting late today. I'll ask Jack to pick you up.今天時(shí)間不早了,我讓杰克來接你?!?p> 話落,丹尼爾帶著圖紙去到了一間房間,杰克也很快開車來接向晚晴離開。
看著向晚晴的離開,丹尼爾拿起床頭柜上的照片,對(duì)著照片深沉的說道:“Anna, this girl is very unusual. She is very similar to you when you were young. She is Chinese, and she has perseverance. I want to take her as my apprentice.安娜,這個(gè)女孩子很不一般,她和你年輕的時(shí)候很像,她是中國(guó)人,她很有毅力,我想收她為我的徒弟?!?p> 這個(gè)時(shí)候窗外飄進(jìn)來一朵花瓣落在了丹尼爾的手上,丹尼爾滿眼的淚光看著照片說道:“Did you also agree?你也同意了嗎?”
車上的向晚晴靠著車窗,一旁的杰克說著一些話,不讓向晚晴睡過去。
“Don't sleep, I'll take you to the hospital.別睡啊,我送你去醫(yī)院。”
“Don't worry, I'll be fine.放心吧,我沒事的。”
杰克一點(diǎn)也不相信向晚晴的話,一邊開車一邊開心的說道:“Congratulations in advance.提前恭喜你了?!?p> “Why do you say that?為什么這么說?”
向晚晴看著杰克。
杰克解釋道:“You passed my teacher's test.你通過了我老師的考驗(yàn)了?!?p> “Why do you say that?為什么這么說???”
杰克繼續(xù)說道。
“When I went in just now, I saw the missing drawing on the ground. It was the drawing of Teacher Joanna before her death. I can see that the teacher basically won't show Teacher Joanna's drawing to others. You have succeeded.我剛才進(jìn)去的時(shí)候,看到了地上遺漏的圖紙,那是喬安娜老師生前的圖紙,我看得出來,老師基本上不會(huì)把喬安娜老師的圖紙給別人看的,你已經(jīng)成功了。”
話落,向晚晴的手機(jī)上收到了一條消息,一條沒有備注的消息。
上面很清楚的寫著“Remember to come to class tomorrow明天記得來上課。”
向晚晴看著信息,她知道自己的努力沒有白費(fèi)。
一旁的杰克也替向晚晴開心。
第二天,向晚晴自豪的來到了小木屋,開始了她的求學(xué)。
