Seeing that Fan Hongdao didn't speak, Chen Ju asked again: "What do you think?"

But Fan Hongdao still can't believe it, he just published a collection of poems to sell and inquire about the news by the way, how could such a strange thing come to the door?

Anyone knows that going to the inner study hall to teach is definitely a huge benefit for readers. There is no lack of precedent in the Ming Dynasty www.biquge.info pen & fun & pavilion, someone went to the inner study hall as a teacher, and formed a teacher-student relationship with the eunuchs who listened to the class, and it was not uncommon for them to seek a high position with the help of eunuch students after a few years. There are even rumors that the reason why some people can enter the cabinet as university scholars is because of the help of the eunuchs in the palace.

Fan Hongdao felt that it was difficult for him to give any answer, if he agreed, it would seem too unreserved, and if it was really a joke, then he would become a big joke.

If you simply refuse, it will be too bad for Gonggong Chen, and he is also a eunuch who has entered the ceremonial eunuch, not an ordinary errand runner. Moreover, if this is the real thing, and you refuse it in a hurry before you think it clearly, it is very likely that you will regret it in the future.

After thinking about it, Fan Hongdao didn't say yes, nor did he say no-isn't it just sloppy, he, Fan Hongdao, didn't know. He deliberately raised concerns and said: "I have been selected by the Ministry of Officials, and I am about to act as the chief secretary of the Nancheng Branch Office of Daxing County as a superintendent, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to hold two positions." What does the old gentleman think?"

But Gonggong Chen disagreed with this concern, "This is not a problem, those teachings in the Inner Study Hall are part-time, while doing a bachelor's degree in the Hanlin Academy, and teaching in the Inner Study Hall at the same time."

Not to mention the subject of poetry, you can have a few days a month, which doesn't take up much time, and you can still do other things at other times, without affecting you to find another job. ”

"Is the old gentleman serious?" asked Fan Hongdao again.

Chen Ju sneered: "Do you think we are idlers who have nothing to do, and we have a lot of time to spend time with you here? The manly husband is decisive, and we are not joking! If you are interested, after you go to the Nancheng branch office to take office, we will let someone inform you!"

Fan Hongdao gritted his teeth and said: "If the old gentleman has blue eyes, he will be disrespectful." ”

When Chen Ju saw that Fan Hongdao agreed, he didn't say anything anymore. He was about to turn around and leave, Fan Hongdao hurriedly asked again: "I still have to ask the old gentleman about something, I wonder if the old gentleman can know Zhao Jian and Zhao Gonggong of the internal official supervisor?"

Gonggong Chen nodded and said, "There is such a person, what's wrong?"

Fan Hongdao looked at the father and daughter of the Li family beside him, and made up a reason: "I have two friends from the northwest, and they had a little relationship with Zhao Jian and Zhao Gonggong in the past. Now that they have also come to the capital, they don't know where to meet Zhao Gonggong. ”

Chen Ju replied very safely: "Zhao Jian should not have an outer house, he has been living in the palace, and your friend is afraid that he will not have a chance to see it." No matter why Fan Hongdao inquired about Zhao Jian's news, this was a steady answer, and it was also the truth.

But after Gonggong Chen left, the disappointment of the Li family's father and daughter was overflowing, if Zhao Jian did not have regular extrauterine activities, it would be troublesome.

Nowadays, many famous eunuchs will buy an outer house outside the palace, go to the outer house to experience ordinary life in their spare time, or wait for old age to retire in the outer house.

What the Li family's father and daughter expect most is that Zhao Jian also has an outer house, so that they can further inquire about the address of Zhao Jian's outer house, and then wait nearby, and always have the opportunity to meet Zhao Jian. Then they can assassinate, take revenge, and fly away.

But if Zhao Jian didn't have an outer house and lived in the palace for a long time, there would be no chance for the Li family's father and daughter to assassinate. Even if Zhao Jian had the possibility of going out of the palace to do errands, the Li family's father and daughter would not have the ability to squat in the entire imperial city and wait for the opportunity.

However, Fan Hongdao's mood is the opposite, what he is most worried about is that the Li family's father and daughter "violate the ban with martial arts" and make a major criminal case. There is no chance of "breaking the ban" now, and that is of course better.

"You don't have to be discouraged, you have to think about it in the long run. Fan Hongdao still had to comfort the Li family's father and daughter on the surface: "The sky lives up to the painstaking people, and I will help you slowly find opportunities and come up with a way." ”

Father Li let out a long sigh, life was unsatisfactory nine times out of ten, he originally planned to go to Beijing to do a vote and leave, but now he has to prepare for a long-term battle.

It seems that in order to survive in the capital for a long time, you really have to listen to Fan Hongdao, go to the Nancheng Branch Office to be that Laoshzi catcher, otherwise what better means of livelihood can their father and daughter have in the rivers and lakes?

Seeing that the sun was gradually turning westward, more than half of the goods brought by Ma Chaofeng had been sold, and he not only sold books, but also brought some other goods such as the Four Treasures of the Scholar's Room. And Fan Hongdao was a little bored after standing for most of the day, and was thinking about finding a place to sit and drink tea.

At this time, another guest came to the booth, checked through the books, and picked up a few inkstones to check. This man was about 30 years old, dressed as a literati, and looked like a potential buyer, so he was greeted by a buddy.

But the guest directly found Ma Chaofeng and saluted: "If there are these things left outside the baggage, how much will it cost?"

Ma Chaofeng suspected that he had misheard, and confirmed: "What does this friend mean is that he wants to buy it all?

The guest said heartily: "People in Gu'an, Xiajing Prefecture, surnamed Sang, learn to be Jia if you can't study, and you can get a little profit." Now I want to donate to persuade students, so I want to buy all your books and study materials and transport them back to the county for distribution. ”

Ma Chaofeng suddenly realized, no wonder this person looked like a scholar more than a businessman, it turned out to be a Confucian businessman. In recent years, there have been more and more scholars, and many scholars who have difficulties in making a living or want to make a fortune have gone into business, called Confucian businessmen, and it is not surprising that they will return to Sangzi after making money.

Since the big customer came to the door, Ma Chaofeng had no reason not to sell, and immediately said to the guest Sang Li: "Cheng Hui Cheng Hui! Please sit down in the back, the price is negotiable!"

When the two of them sat down to negotiate the price, Sang Li said again: "It is a temporary intention, so the silver around me is insufficient, and I am willing to use other things to offset the price." As he spoke, he took off the jade pendant from his waist and presented it to Ma Chaofeng.

Ma Chaofeng hesitated slightly, the other party wanted to use the jade pendant to offset the silver taels, is this a trap?

Sang Li took the initiative to say: "There are also jade traders in the inner market, and the horsemen can go to find people to identify and inquire on their own. ”

Hearing this, Ma Yuanwai decided to give it a try. Many merchants in the inner city are familiar with each other, and Ma Yuanwai is sure that he can find reliable jade merchants to help him identify the authenticity, as long as the value of the jade pendant is enough, it is not bad, and he can make a little more.

Then Ma Yuanwai personally took the jade pendant outside to find someone to identify, Sang Li only followed behind, and did not interfere with how Ma Yuanwai appraised. After two acquaintances identified and determined that the jade pendant was worth one hundred taels, the horse crew was relieved and led Sang Li back to his stall.
