"It is really rare for the virtuous nephew to have such a desire to learn, but the old man is only shallow in learning, and in recent years, he has felt that his energy is not as good as before, I am afraid it is difficult to be this great benevolence! Xu Fan finally refused, but also promised to help them find another teacher.

It stands to reason that this is not bad, although the shouting of "uncle, virtuous nephew" is non-stop, but Lu Hao understands very well that this is just polite words, there is no friendship between the two, if you force it, I am afraid that even this superficial etiquette will be exhausted.

But when he came, Xu Chen had already given a death order, and he had to finalize the matter today, as long as he came step by step, and Xu Chen would leave the rest. Lu Hao believed in his eldest brother's judgment, so he gritted his teeth and bowed down again.

"Please also ask Uncle Shi to have mercy, if Uncle Shi doesn't accept the little nephew today, the little nephew will not be able to kneel for a long time!" As soon as he said this, it was the threat of Hongguoguo.

"Big brother, is this going to work!" Although he kept shouting in his heart, Lu Hao still had a resolute expression on his face.

Sure enough, as soon as Xu Fan heard this, his face immediately turned blue, he was a polite young man just now, but now he looks like a scoundrel, which caught him off guard. However, his good upbringing still kept him from scolding on the spot.

"If you want to kneel, go out and kneel!" said that, he brushed his sleeves and left.

"It's done!" Xu Chen shouted in his heart.

So, Lu Hao led a few people out of the courtyard, in front of the bamboo gate of the small courtyard, brushed up the long hem of the long robe, and bowed respectfully, the standard movements without a trace of difference, with the resolute expression on the face, showed a trace of solemn taste, especially the movements of the five people were neat and uniform, no matter how you look at it, it looks like it has been rehearsed in advance.

……

In the summer dusk, a breeze blows out of the peach grove, rolling up a few yellowish fallen leaves on the ground, bringing a fragrance of fruit.

Several hours have passed, and a few teenagers in front of the bamboo gate are still kneeling there without moving, like a few lifeless stones.

This shows the benefits of exercise, a few hours of motionless kneeling teenagers still did not waver, of course, in fact, the teenagers still with the help of props, before coming, Xu Chen prepared two "kneeling easy" for everyone. Two thick cloth pads, plus a slightly soft mud floor, so the pressure on the knees is not so strong.

Suddenly, the bamboo door that the teenagers expected opened, and an old man walked out, but he didn't look at a few teenagers, carrying a bamboo basket, and walked straight past the teenager, according to Xu Chen's analysis, Xu Fan couldn't agree so quickly, so all the teenagers came with the preparation for a protracted battle.

Therefore, none of the teenagers looked up at the old man and still did not move.

Rewind time for a moment, in the small courtyard.

Xu Fan's anger disappeared for the most part, and suddenly he felt that something was wrong, and his years of official career made him suddenly realize that he might have been tricked, so he found the old servant beside him.

"Lao Xu, you go to the city to inquire about who the teenagers behind Lu Hao are. Xu Fan immediately grasped the point, terrible intuition!

So, this old man Xu took the opportunity to go out to buy vegetables and came to Yuzhang City, he first found a few colleagues of his master in the yamen to ask Lu Hao about it, most of these officials were once found by Lu Hao, and naturally he knew more about the original county son.

So, Xu Laohan came to Chongrenfang under the guidance of everyone, Xu Chen They are also legendary in Chongrenfang, a group of half-grown teenagers, suddenly rose to sweep away many ruffians in the workshop, and also built a fish market for fishermen, so that Chongrenfang changed from the smell of the street. This qiē made the citizens in the fang full of gratitude to this group of fatherless and motherless teenagers, Xu Laohan soon got the answer he wanted, and almost all he received was the appreciation of the villagers for the teenagers, and after a while, he came to the front of the "Ganshui Fisherman's House" under the guidance of everyone, and saw the couplet in front of the door.

"Good words! Good literary talent!" Xu Laohan has been Xu Fan's scholar since he was a teenager, and he still has literary talent, and he can't help but express his heartfelt appreciation in front of this ancient famous sentence.

After a while, Xu Laohan came to the fish market that everyone said, only to see the rows of stalls in the red gate full of all kinds of aquatic products and river freshness, Xu Laohan walked around, only to see the flow of people, but in an orderly manner. Although the net street drum has been beaten, but the buyers and sellers in the fish market are still trading in an orderly manner, although it is not chaotic, the buyers are mostly dressed as a guy housekeeper, Xu Laohan has been with Xu Fan to Yuzhang for many years, and naturally knows that the people of Yuzhang City like to eat these river fresh, most of these people are the descendants of the major families or the guys in the hotel restaurant, there is no insurance means in this year, so everyone can only take advantage of the approaching time of the night to come here to buy, so that they can cook in the pot as soon as they are transported back.

At this time, the trading is mostly a large transaction, and every time the buyer and seller complete a transaction, they will report the number to the teenagers who are waiting beside them, dressed in Wuhou Fangding costumes, and hand over more than a dozen or dozens of silver coins with their hands full of sticky juice, and the teenagers do not dislike it, and directly bagged it and sketched a few times on the account book in their hands, and then walked away with a smile, and the fishermen who sold fish also greeted this group of teenagers with a smile.

Xu Laohan asked a few fishermen who were trading nearby, and the answers he got were not as he expected.

Xu Laohan also bought a few fresh fish in the fish market, put them in a bamboo bar, and prepared to stew a pot of fish soup for his master when he went back.

Xu Laohan consciously found out clearly, of course, these are the things that Xu Chen took out to show people. Xu Laohan is worthy of being an old servant who has followed Xu Fan for many years, and he is meticulous in his work, and he touched all the "old bottoms" of Xu Chen, so he went back satisfied.

When he returned to the small courtyard in Taoyuan, he saw several teenagers still kneeling in front of the bamboo door, as if there was no difference from the seat just now, this time he looked at the teenagers with a much kinder look, and even a smile on the corner of his mouth.

This smile naturally did not escape Xu Chen's eyes, and as soon as he came back, Xu Chen kept paying attention to Xu Laohan with the corner of his eye.

Actually, Xu Laohan still missed a big drama, a big drama starring Xiao Shi.

It is said that not long after Xu Laohan walked away, a damn mosquito actually got into Shi Lei's open robe, sucked a mouthful of blood on Shi Lei's chest, and a big bag immediately appeared. This damn mosquito, you don't want to bite your chest, I don't bite my white arm, why do you go inside!

You must know that Shi Lei carried the bamboo tube containing the wine in his arms, not that he was unwilling to hide the wine in his sleeves like his brothers, but it was that the limbs of this guy were relatively large and unusually large, and the wide sleeves had no place to hide the wine cylinder except for his arms, so he could only stuff it into his arms.

It's hard to do now, anyone who has been bitten by mosquitoes knows that the place on the chest is sensitive to touch, not to mention that the damn mosquito is still scurrying around in the stone coat, ready to choose another place to start, this kind of physical and mental double struggle, the stone did not endure for too long, and the silence broke out after a moment!

"Brother, why do we have to beg this old boy in a low voice! Xiaoshi quickly got up, but fortunately he was not stupid enough to call out the eldest brother directly. I patted my chest with my hand, scratched it a few more times, my nostrils were facing the sky, my eyes were looking up at the starry sky at forty-five degrees, my hands were on my waist, and my legs were shaking rhythmically.

Anyway, Xu Chen and his friends were stunned!

Lu Hao shouted wildly in his heart, "This doesn't fit the script! What kind of script did you change randomly!"

Fortunately, Xu Chen reacted quickly, and suddenly realized that this sudden situation was also a very good opportunity to perform, so Xu Chen immediately reminded Lu Hao with his eyes.

It just so happened that Lu Hao was also looking back at Xu Chen, and after receiving Xu Chen's hint, Lu Hao also understood.

"Stone! Kneel down for me! I don't want to study, what do you kid want to do? Do you want to be a gangster for the rest of your life!"

Xu Chen really admires his two brothers now, this line is too modern, who did these two boys learn from!

After hearing this, Shi Lei still looked like a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water, so angry that Lu Hao forgot to kneel, stood up, and slapped the back of Shi Lei's head with his right hand, just Shi Lei bent down, and then knelt down, thinking that the mosquito had been slapped to death anyway, so Lu Hao's palm only symbolically touched the back of Shi Lei's head.

Lu Hao looked at his palm, and then looked at the upright kneeling posture of the stone, and was a little speechless for a while, when did this kid start to be so ghostly.

Seeing this, Lu Hao had no choice but to run to the front and kneel down upright again.

…….

After Xu Laohan came back, he reported the situation to Xu Fan, and left Xu Fan alone and went to the kitchen alone.

"It turns out that this guy opened that shop!Xu Chen?Yes, you actually want to kneel, so kneel for a while. Xu Fan smiled and said to himself.

In fact, what Xu Chen didn't know was that since Xu Fan went to Xu Chen's hotel for the first time, he was attracted by the novel decoration and delicious food there.

Of course, what attracts Xu Fan the most is the couplet in front of Xu Chen's door and the series of rewards and punishments he promulgated in the hotel, Xu Fan really wants to meet this interesting young man, but Xu Chen has been dragged by Chai Qi's affairs these days, and he didn't go to the hotel at all, which made Xu Fan very disappointed.

Today, Xu Pan saw Lu Hao leading a few young people to come, after listening to Xu Laohan's report, Xu Fan had already started to accept this group of young people, after all, what this group of teenagers did was very suitable for Xu Fan's taste, plus at a young age, he was extremely smart and did not have the rampant ambition of the young man, he could kneel at the door for so long, and he was also a young man with a strong mind, even Shi Lei's clumsy performance only added a smart and clever flavor in his opinion.

But when Xu Laohan said that the hotel was opened by Xu Chen, thinking of the reward and punishment regulations that grasped people's hearts carefully, and then looking at the bitter trick in front of him, Xu Fan could be sure that this qiē was designed by Xu Chen, who was kneeling in the second row. Suddenly, I felt that this Xu Chen was a little too smart! Coupled with his heavy thoughts, he had such a city government at a young age, and after becoming an official in the future, whether it was a good or a bad thing for the country and the people, this qiē Xu Fan couldn't be sure, even if he wanted to accept him in the end, he had to sharpen his young man's sharpness first.

In fact, from Xu Fan's thoughts, it can be seen that this Xu Pan is by no means as simple as it seems.

Of course, Xu Fan's consideration Xu Chen would not know, who would have thought that Xu Fan had already been interested in himself? Xu Chen is not a fairy, where did he get the front and back eyes?

So, I had to kneel silently, but fortunately, before I came, Xu Chen let everyone eat hard, and they all ate until they couldn't fit in.

So, now I smell the aroma of dinner coming from the people around me, and I don't feel very hungry.

The sun still went down, the moon climbed up, and the night wind blew coldly on everyone, and now the teenagers began to admire Xu Chen's foresight, and after kneeling for so long, he was just a little tired, not cold, not hungry, and he could still hold on.

If...... If this damn thunderstorm doesn't come, even a qiē can still hold on.

In Yuzhang City in summer, the weather is more transmuted than the face of a doll, and in the second half of the night, the showers came without the slightest warning.

The rain fell quickly, very shortly, and violently, and the long shirts on the boys' bodies had already been wet, and the thick layer of water was tightly attached to the skin, and the soil on the legs and feet had been softened by the rain, and completely turned into mud.

The rain stopped, but the cold wind of the night blew on the body, coupled with the clammy coat, the teenagers had begun to shiver, the small wooden stopper on the bamboo tube had fallen off in the shaking of the teenagers, taking advantage of the opportunity to brush their foreheads with their hands, the teenagers took a sip fiercely, the hot wine passed through the throat, bringing a trace of heat to the body, and the teenagers drank very slowly, because the night was still very long.

The lights in the courtyard had long since been extinguished, but the teenagers were still trying to maintain a proper posture.

This night may be a rare long night in the lives of teenagers, and it has also become a rare memory in their lives afterward.

No matter how long the night is, there will be an end time.

The wine in the bamboo tube has long been drunk......

The early risers who lived nearby were shocked to see this group of shivering teenagers who were still trying to maintain their posture!

They saw them yesterday afternoon, and at that time they thought they were ordinary students, who had been in this situation before, but almost all of them knelt for a few hours and then left.

This group of teenagers seemed to have been kneeling here all night, oh my God! It was windy, thundering, and raining in the middle of the night!

This group of teenagers is really rare!

"Ge with cubs is just right!" Many early farmers do not hesitate to praise themselves, and farmers are always the most simple.

Of course, there were also some discordant voices, "Isn't it just a bitter ploy! Lord Xu is such a learned person, he will not be deceived by this trick!"

This is a teenager dressed as a student, and it seems that he has also knelt in front of the door.

……

Ignoring these voices, in fact, Xu Chen and the others were no longer in the mood to pay attention to these, and what supported them was only an unwillingness, yes! Just unwilling! If they gave up now, wouldn't the previous suffering be in vain!

"Master, they've been kneeling outside all night!" Old Man Xu couldn't stand it anymore.

Xu Fan naturally heard the discussion of the nearby farmers, and said in a low voice: "This is their purpose!"

However, Xu Fan still relented, "Go outside and tell them, let them remember to bring a bundle when they come tomorrow." ”

After saying that, there was silence.

Xu Laohan hurriedly came to the bamboo gate, and the door that Xu Chen had been waiting for for a long time finally opened......

There was no cheering, no joy, and the teenagers had long since lost the slightest strength.

Zheng Tai took several other teenagers and hurriedly ran over, helped everyone up, and handed over the ginger soup they brought and the bean soup that had been boiled all night.

Xu Chen and the others poured it down regardless of it, and went home with the support of other teenagers......

Leave a place where it is "easy to kneel" and an empty wine barrel......

Seeing this, Xu Fan smiled, he felt that he might have accepted a group of very interesting disciples......
