Chapter 85 A Feast of Sincerity and Wine to Express Gratitude
1. Gratitude arises upon successful apprenticeship.
With the formal apprenticeship ceremony now complete and the master-disciple relationship officially settled, Zhou Deshan and Xu Jingming were instantly filled with indescribable joy and heartfelt gratitude.
Looking back on these days, the two of them put aside their reputation as renowned doctors and traveled around asking for help, waiting anxiously every day.
After countless sincere visits and prostrations, and countless moments of waiting and anxiety, my long-cherished wish has finally been fulfilled, and my desire to become an apprentice and learn from a master has been perfectly realized.
At this moment, the two of them had completely shed their former arrogance and pride, and had also let go of all the initial barriers and misunderstandings they had.
There was no longer any arrogance or pride in my qualifications; all that remained was the joy of fulfilling my dream of becoming an apprentice, and a deep, heartfelt gratitude.
The two stood side by side in the courtyard, facing each other and whispering to each other, and soon made up their minds.
You must sincerely prepare a fine banquet, personally host the feast, and properly thank all those who lent a helping hand and made this possible.
The two of them knew perfectly well that their successful entry into Chen Shanhe's tutelage was never solely due to one person's efforts.
The person we should be most grateful to is Chen Shanhe, who disregarded our previous contempt and prejudice, broke the conventional rules of age and seniority, and made an exception to accept us as his disciples, willing to wholeheartedly impart his life's medical knowledge and principles.
I also want to sincerely thank Su Wanjing for her constant companionship and gentle, warm advice day and night; and I am grateful to Murong Fangxiang for mediating between us and helping us achieve our goals.
We should be even more grateful to the provincial government officials who set aside their official airs, remembered the life-saving grace, and spoke up for justice, which gradually led to this rare master-disciple relationship.
The two were of one mind and immediately agreed to personally organize the banquet to express their gratitude.
The banquet is not about extravagance or ostentation, but about sincerity and heartfelt gratitude. It is a simple and heartfelt feast to thank everyone who has helped us.
Now that the major issue on their minds has finally been resolved, the two of them relaxed, their worries, anxieties, and unease of the past few days gone by.
My heart is overflowing with gratitude and warmth, and I can no longer hide it. I only wish to keep all the kindness in my heart and take this opportunity to sincerely thank everyone in person at this banquet.

The apprenticeship ceremony is complete, and my heart is at peace.
Overjoyed, I felt deeply grateful.
Once a lifelong wish is fulfilled,
With heartfelt gratitude, I thank all the virtuous people.
II. Personally select an elegant venue and prepare a lavish banquet.
After finalizing the idea of holding a banquet to express their gratitude, Zhou Deshan and Xu Jingming did not waste a moment and immediately set off together to personally select a suitable venue for the banquet.
Knowing that today was an important occasion for expressing gratitude, the two were unwilling to choose a noisy, ordinary restaurant in the city, fearing that the noise would disturb the warm atmosphere of their gathering and conversation.
I went to great lengths to explore the streets and alleys of the provincial capital and carefully selected a private wine shop with a quiet and tranquil environment and an elegant and refined style.
Far from the hustle and bustle of the city, the private rooms are quiet and elegant, and the hall is decorated in a simple and elegant style. The atmosphere is warm and peaceful, making it the perfect place for people to sit together, raise a glass, chat and share their feelings.
The two entered the wine pavilion and personally inspected the layout of the hall, carefully examining the tables, chairs, and overall environment. They thoroughly inspected every detail, not daring to be careless in the slightest.
Only after confirming that the venue was satisfactory did the two feel at ease and book a private room for the banquet.
He then personally contacted the restaurant owner to finalize the cold and hot dishes, meat and vegetable dishes for the banquet, and carefully matched the dishes.
Fresh ingredients are carefully prepared, with a mix of hot and cold dishes, meat and vegetables, and fine teas and wines prepared in advance. Every dish is carefully selected to ensure it is exquisite, delicious, and presentable.
After finalizing the menu and drinks, the two busied themselves running around, carefully arranging and decorating the banquet hall.
He personally took care of everything, from arranging the guest seats and setting out fresh tea and snacks to cleaning and tidying every corner of the house.
From finalizing the venue selection to confirming the menu and drinks, and then to the meticulous arrangement and tidying of the hall, everything was arranged in an orderly and proper manner, without the slightest oversight.
The two had practiced medicine for half their lives and were always respected and revered in the provincial capital. They were usually treated with deference by others and rarely had to lower themselves to do such a trivial matter.
But today, in order to repay everyone's kindness, I did everything with my heart and soul, without being perfunctory or careless.
Because the two of them were filled with genuine gratitude, every meticulous arrangement was made with heartfelt sincerity.
I only hope to take this carefully prepared banquet as a way to properly repay everyone's help and support over the past few days, and to live up to every kind suggestion and this rare bond of kindness.

III. Spread the message far and wide to invite everyone.
The banquet venue was selected, the food and drinks and the hall decorations were all arranged perfectly, and all the preparations were completed.
Zhou Deshan and Xu Jingming finally put aside their busy work and calmed down. They visited each person in turn according to seniority and gratitude, sincerely inviting them to the banquet.
The two first went to pay their respects to their master, Chen Shanhe. They were respectful and humble, and solemnly extended a banquet invitation. Every word they uttered was a heartfelt expression of respect and gratitude from the younger generation to their master.
He then made a special trip to find Su Wanjing, expressing his gratitude with gentle sincerity. He thanked her for her kind words and gentle advice over the past few days, and sincerely invited her to join him for a gathering.
The two then went to Murong Fangxiang's residence to pay a special visit to high-ranking provincial officials, explaining their original intentions for hosting the banquet.
In gratitude for everyone's hard work and kind advice over the past few days, we have specially prepared this banquet and respectfully invite all distinguished guests to our elegant venue for the occasion.
Each time they extended an invitation, the two of them adopted a humble and gentle attitude, speaking sincerely and earnestly, and expressing the gratitude that had accumulated in their hearts.
Every sentence came from the bottom of my heart, every word was sincere and heartfelt, without a trace of hypocrisy or flattery, earnestly recounting the kindness and gratitude shown by everyone who extended a helping hand.
After receiving the invitation, everyone present, upon hearing of the couple's sincere gratitude and the special banquet they had prepared to express their thanks, accepted the invitation without any hesitation or formality.
They all readily nodded in agreement, readily promising to keep the appointment on time. Everyone appreciated this pure and harmonious sentiment and was happy to attend the gathering and chat.
All invitations have been properly communicated, and everyone is ready to gather at the elegant wine pavilion at the appointed time to enjoy drinks and conversation.
After Zhou Deshan and Xu Jingming finished handling all the invitation matters, they completely put aside their worries and anxieties of the past few days and waited peacefully for the time to begin the banquet.
The two felt at ease and at peace, only hoping that when the banquet officially began, they could personally thank everyone for their hard work, help, and kindness.
In human relationships, sincerity is always the best policy. This act of gratitude at this moment fully demonstrates the warmth of human kindness and is especially touching and heartwarming.

With plenty of time before the appointed time for the banquet, the invited guests set off one after another and arrived at the elegant restaurant.
Chen Shanhe walked slowly side by side with Su Wanjing, his expression peaceful and gentle, his demeanor calm and composed.
Murong Fangxiang arrived at the appointment with composure, her demeanor gentle and graceful, her eyes and brows radiating tranquility.
Provincial government officials also arrived on time, shedding their usual serious demeanor and treating people with gentleness and approachability, without a trace of official airs.
Everyone entered the banquet hall, greeted each other warmly and naturally, and spoke in a friendly and natural manner.
There was no significant difference in social status or rigid formality based on age or hierarchy; the atmosphere was warm and harmonious.
The master and apprentice lived in harmony and peace, and those who helped each other chatted and laughed. The hall was filled with warmth and affection.
There was no awkwardness or formality; we hit it off immediately, chatted freely, and felt relaxed and unrestrained.
Even before the banquet officially began, the entire hall was already filled with a harmonious and warm atmosphere, brimming with human warmth and hospitality.
A harmonious atmosphere permeated the air, and the gratitude and reciprocation warmed people's hearts, creating a peaceful and stable environment.
Zhou Deshan and Xu Jingming stood aside, looking at the harmonious scene before them, their hearts filled with satisfaction.
I secretly rejoiced that I had the good fortune to become a disciple and gain enlightenment, and I was even more grateful to the kind people around me who made it possible for us to gather together and share our warmth.
