After lunch, everyone withdrew the food and drinks, and sat in the living room and began to chat.

"Teacher, do you know about Wanjia?" After Xu Chen recognized this master, he didn't mind leaking out a little bit about his own affairs.

"Wan Jia, Wan Jia of Yuzhang?" asked Xu Fan.

"That's right!"

"Uh...... I don't know much about this Wan family, as a teacher," Xu Fan said after pondering for a while.

"This Wan ...... How can I say it? I feel like a teacher is two words, low-key! I have been in Yuzhang for several years, but I have not been deeply impressed by this Wanjia. The head of the family of the Wan family has only met once at the banquet of the Taishou, and he is very gentle, and it stands to reason that the middle-aged man in his forties was originally the most prosperous and powerful, but the feeling of the head of the Wan family as a teacher is a little dull. Xu Fan recalled for a moment and said, but immediately shook his head again, denying his opinion.

"No! It can't be simply said that it is twilight, it should be said that he is like an abyss, which is calm on the surface, but the danger in the depths is impossible to ignore. ”

Xu Fan lowered his head and thought about it, as if he felt that it was not very accurate to say this, and shook his head again.

"I can't accurately describe that feeling for a teacher, I'm ashamed, I've seen the world as a teacher, and the patriarchs of Shandong, Guanlong, who have been inherited for thousands of years, have also seen some of them, but no one has ever given me such a deep feeling as him. Xu Fan really couldn't find any specific adjectives, so he had to replace them with impressive.

"No, teacher, don't scare me!" Xu Chen was already crying.

"One Li Linfu is terrifying enough! Come back to such an unspeakable one, God, you still won't let me go down, or you should send me back again! Then Li Linfu can comfort himself and say that he is still far away, and there is still time to prepare, but how can this ten thousand families under his nose prepare?" Xu Chen wailed in his heart.

"What's wrong with you, what's wrong?" Xu Fan really didn't expect this demon apprentice to have this expression.

"Although the head of the family of the Wan family is unpredictable, but he is also very kind to see how he treats people, he can make the local family of Yuzhang the leader, and he must not be a narrow-minded person, not to mention what kind of identity and status do people, how can they care about your little doll. Xu Fan thought that his apprentice had offended Wan Jia, and hurriedly relieved.

"He won't, but his son will!" Xu Chen said helplessly.

"Son, do you mean the second son of the Wan family, Wan Shijun?" asked Xu Fan.

"What! is the second son, is there still the eldest son?" Xu Chen was puzzled, looking at the guy's expression when he introduced himself and the temperament of those guards, how to look at it, he was also a long-term son-in-law.

"Yes, there is also a big son in the Wanjia family, who went to Beijing to take the exam a few years ago, and was admitted to the Jinshi, and now he is an idle official from the eighth rank in Chang'an City. Xu Fan continued.

"Loose official, is it just a petty official from the eighth rank?" Xu Chen was very surprised, and he didn't realize that the teacher in front of him was just a petty official from the eighth grade.

"That's not right! If, according to what you said, this Wanjia family is extraordinary, and the eldest son of their family has become an official in the court, how can it be that he has not even caught the county order of the lower county in Jinshi, but he has only been an idle official in Chang'an, and he has been a few years at a time, could it be that they have some ulterior secrets?" Xu Chen has completely become a conspiracy theorist, and he will think about anything suspicious.

"This, I don't know if I'm a teacher, even this eldest son's storage zài, for the teacher to listen to a few friends talk about, it seems that all the families don't want to mention this eldest son's storage zài. Xu Fan thought about it again and continued.

"Could it be that he was evicted from his home? Xu Chen muttered to himself.

"What the hell is going on?" Xu Fan was already a little impatient.

"Oh, back to the teacher's words, it's like this, when we went home yesterday, ......" So Xu Chen told what happened yesterday, focusing on the bullet chapter that Wan Shijun memorized.

"What do you think he means?" After Xu Fan listened, he was a little confused after thinking about it, so he had to look forward to his apprentice's opinion.

"The disciple didn't know, I saw him for the first time yesterday, but he seemed to know who I was for a long time. Xu Chen told the truth.

The master and apprentice thought about it for a long time, but they still couldn't find what to do.

The afternoon class was a little boring, the lecture was absent-minded, and the listeners were drowsy, Xu Fan ended today's class early when he saw that everyone was not in a good state.

"In the future, you will come once every two days, and the rest of the time at home will have to review the past and learn the new, do you understand?" Xu Fan knew that his disciples had their own things to do, so he didn't arrange his homework very tightly. Anyway, my own big disciple will teach them at home.

"Yes, teacher. Everyone said respectfully.

"Well, it's getting early today, so go back. ”

"Goodbye, teacher!"

As soon as he got home, while it was still dark, Xu Chen came to the study in the backyard and turned out some things he remembered before.

After returning to the front yard, he hurriedly instructed a young man to call Lao Liu, the head carpenter of the family.

After a while, the young man led an old man in his fifties and walked in.

The old man's figure is a little thin, rough hands and feet, dark skin, the wrinkles on his face are like the loess plateau, the ravines are vertical and horizontal, and there are no black threads on his head, he is said to be less than fifty years old, but he looks like an old man with a sixtieth birthday.

"Lao Liu, how is the business lately?" asked Xu Chen kindly.

"If you go back to the owner, the business is very good! Don't you know, our wooden tables and chairs are sold in a boom, and the old man's orders here are busy until winter. Liu Laohan is very excited, since Xu Chen put on new furniture in the hotel, more and more people to the store guys, shopkeepers to ask where these tables and chairs are from, Wang shopkeeper they have long been instructed by Xu Chen, there are new furniture only need to leave the address and deposit in the hotel, and then deliver it to the guests after it is done, anyway, the hotel has been open here, is it afraid that they will run away for the money?

So, Lao Liu has more and more orders here, he is busy and he has no time to sleep, of course, he can't sleep at night, just count his copper coins, that's hundreds of copper coins! Xu Chen also gave Lao Liu two percent of the dividends, so many days to save hundreds of dollars, and it is still increasing, Lao Liu Tou never thought in his life that he could have so much money one day, every night he has to count it before he can rest assured, sleep with the money bag in his sleep, for fear of waking up and find that it is just a dream.

Fortunately, the dream continues.

"Lao Liu, this money can't be earned, there's no need to work so hard. You still have to pay more attention to your body!"

Liu Laohan didn't agree with Xu Chen's words, isn't it true that people have to work hard to make some money in this life, and can they leave a family business to their children after death?

"Hehe," Xu Chen looked at Liu Laohan's expression and didn't say much.

"Lao Liu, give you an opinion! In the future, our furniture will be marked with its own unique mark, and you go back and think of a carving that is not easy to be imitated. In the future, our family will only make high-end furniture, choose the best materials, and the craftsmanship should be the most exquisite, and we would rather work slowly and carefully, but also ensure high-quality products, and don't take those ordinary jobs in the future, our family only makes high-end goods, and the price will be increased by ten times!" Xu Chen said.

"Ahh

"Don't worry! There will definitely be people who want it, and you will only earn more! You should have also found it, there have been furniture made by other families on the market, these things are not difficult, experienced carpenters will take a look, and in the future, the furniture made by our family will only be sold to those big families, these people have money, as long as our furniture is the most authentic, they will naturally not want those stalls. ”

Although I don't understand what the stall means, Lao Liu Tou understands what the owner said, that is, only the furniture that will be made in the future will only be sold to the rich. In fact, Lao Liu Tou came today to report to the owner about the appearance of fakes in the market, and wanted to find the owner to think of an idea, but he didn't expect the owner to know it a long time ago, and the owner is the owner!

Xu Chen didn't pay attention to Lao Liutou's thoughts, and then condoled the employees, and after talking about work, it was time to talk about life.

"Lao Liu, your eldest daughter is about to give birth, right?" Xu Chen had already figured out the situation of this old man Liu.

"Yes, calculate, next month will be the day, and I don't know if I can give birth to a handle. Old Liu Tou was also a little anxious.

"Hehe, what's the hurry, your eldest daughter is still young, and sooner or later she will give birth to a son. Xu Chen said with relief.

"It's very risky to give birth to your first child, so you have to pay more attention!

"I'm tired of the owner, the girl's husband's family is also a solid family, and the stable woman invited is the best in ten miles and eight towns. ”

"That's good! When the child is born, I will give you a big gift!"

"Then thank you to the owner!"

"Hehe, it should be! Your youngest son is almost ten years old, right?" Xu Chen continued.

"Yes! Wandering around blindly all day long, there is no one right, let him learn carpenter work, and he refuses to study hard!" "When it comes to this little son, Lao Liu Tou is full of happiness, no way, Liu Laohan and his daughter-in-law have been married for more than ten years and have been unable to have children, and then finally got pregnant, but she gave birth to a daughter, which made Liu Laohan angry! Seeing that the incense was about to be cut off, fortunately, God opened his eyes, so that Liu Laohan was almost forty years old before giving birth to such a son, and he was considered old in this era. It's a pity that Liu Laohan's wife died after giving birth to a son. Liu Laohan had no choice but to pull two dolls by himself, being a father and a mother, and even this carpentry work was another craft he learned after fishing, just to make more money.

It wasn't until Liu Laohan met Xu Chen that his life immediately changed dramatically. So Liu Laohan is grateful to Xu Chen from the bottom of his heart.

"It's almost ten years old, and it's not too young, so let's let him come to our house and read and write with the big guys!" Xu Chen saw that the fire was almost over, so he threw out his weight.

"Really? That kid in our family can also come to read and write?" Liu Laohan had seen Xu Chen teach lessons to the teenagers, and he had heard from the gentleman in the private school that his owner's knowledge was even better than his! You must know that the gentleman in the private school was a very learned and literate person in Liu Laohan's eyes, and his own owner's knowledge was better than that of his husband, so it was worth it? Now the owner wants to take his son as an apprentice and teach him to read and write.

"Of course, let him come and study with him, if he has good qualifications, I will recommend it to my teacher, see if I can give him a place in the exam, if his grades are good, maybe he can go to the imperial examination, and become an official or something in the future." Xu Chen continued to flicker, anyway, this Liu Laohan didn't understand much, and besides, he didn't lie, if his son really studied well, it was okay to recommend it to the teacher, as for whether he could go to the imperial examination, it depended on his own ability.

Liu Laohan didn't think about it so much, he was already immersed in the amazing news that his family was going to be a scholar and maybe he could become an official in the future.

Xu Chen waited for a while, so that Lao Liu Tou could digest it.

"The owner, Lao Liu will go to the yamen tomorrow to change his household registration, and from then on, Lao Liu will be a servant of the owner's family. Liu Laohan was not stupid, and immediately knelt down and said. After listening to so much today, how can I not understand that the owner has something important to do by himself.

"As for ...... Lao Liu's son also hopes that the owner can help keep a civil registration, and don't be classified as a slave like Lao Liu. Liu Laohan still has the idea of letting his son participate in the scientific expedition.

"As for the female baby, Lao Liu will send them some copper coins tomorrow, and from then on, Lao Liu's life will be yours of the son!" This old man Liu is also a man with a tough mind, and once he makes a decision, he will be decisive.

"It's not so exaggerated, Lao Liu, don't be nervous!" Xu Chen was very satisfied with Liu Laohan's attitude.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Xu Chen stopped going around in circles, "Come and see, did you build this kind of boat?"

"Yes!" Liu Laohan said after looking at it.
