Seeing someone a year or two older than herself calling her teacher "Mom," Ling'er was momentarily at a loss, unsure whether to agree.
Li Yu said to Ling'er's "410" son: "This is the disciple I mentioned a few days ago. Now you are my wife. It's fine if he calls you Shi Nan."
After hearing Li Yu's words, Ling'er nodded to Li Xiaoyao, indicating she recognized the term "Master's wife."
After Ling'er nodded in agreement, Li Xiaoyao smiled and said, "Teacher, it's our first meeting. Shouldn't you give me some gifts?"
Li Yu knocked on Li Xiaoyao's head again and said, "Really, you're not old or young. You're the one who asks for a meeting gift."
Ling'er looked at Li Yu puzzled and asked, "What is a meeting ceremony?"
Li Yu explained, "It's the custom of the Central Plains. When disciples formally acknowledge a master, the elders of the school often give gifts to the new disciple. Of course, if they don't give, then there's nothing."
