The two of them with a big age difference glanced at each other, Xiao Jinchen nodded, smiled and gave a salute, and made a gesture to go up the steps of the Peach Blossom Nunnery, after all, for him, this should only be regarded as the etiquette of the younger generation seeing the elders.

Wu Yong, who was missing two arms, was just stunned for a moment, and then fell to the ground with a pop, old tears, this kneeling scared Xiao Jinchen, there were many people who knelt against him in the past years, but most of them had a purpose, so he could also stand it at ease, but how could he afford such a disabled old man kneeling to him?

The young prince was about to help Wu Yong up in a flash, but the old man knelt and moved back two steps, his voice was full of vicissitudes, and it made people feel thick when he listened: "I know this is a bit difficult for a strong man, but I really can't help it, old man, I just ask my son to promise one thing today, and I will get up after I promise."

"How can this make the old gentleman hurry up, Jinchen just agrees, don't do this, Jinchen really can't stand it." The young prince's tone was rarely flustered.

The child with pigtails next to the old man is already stupid, his name is Wu Wei, he is the only grandson of this old man, his father died early, so he was raised by his grandfather since he was a child, in his eyes, grandpa is a very powerful big man, what decisions to make between neighbors, generally refer to grandpa's opinions, sometimes the two parties have contradictions, as long as grandpa comes out to mediate, most of them will be reconciled as before.

Over the years, even if the family is poor, and then can't open the pot, his grandfather has never begged anyone, not even the rice oil sent by those uncles and aunts, when he was the poorest, he and his grandfather ate wild vegetables for two days in a row, which was the most unpalatable thing he had ever eaten in his life, not to mention, it also had a sour smell, as for all the expenses of the family, it was obtained by grandpa bit by bit by singing songs in the theater, but even if it was so difficult, He had never seen his grandfather bow his head, let alone kneel to others, so the impact of this scene on him was almost like the sky had fallen.

The people around him had never seen this old man like this, and they all quickly surrounded him at the moment, and saw that the young man's eyes kept hinting at asking them to pull the old man, but who dared, in the eyes of the people on Axe Street, the old man was their spiritual symbol, for them, everything the old man did was right, and at this moment, they didn't know what to do.

The old man spoke again, which was particularly clear in the silent street at this time: "Old man, I know that there is nothing I can give to your son, think about it, and there is only this kneeling, I only hope for one thing, can you take my grandson as an apprentice, just teach him some basic things, if you can teach him how to behave and do business, then it would be great."

When Xiao Jinchen heard this request, he felt a little ridiculous, "Old man, it's such a small request, why do you kneel to me, I'm just a junior, if you want me to accept him as an apprentice, just say it, I'm really ashamed of your kneeling!" ”

"And you agreed?" The old man looked up at the young man who didn't dare to stand in front of him and asked.

"Yes, yes, you get up first." Xiao Jinchen hurriedly helped the old man up, breathed a sigh of relief, and scratched his head: "It's just that the juniors don't know anything about doing business, as long as you don't dislike me."

The old man smiled heartily and shook his head: "Lao Er doesn't dare to ask for too much."

……

Xiao Jinchen has an apprentice in such a daze, but he likes this child very much, because in the past two days, this child has done things seriously, of course, it is not a heavy job, it is just literacy and reading, but for this child named Wu Wei, it is not easy.

Ten years old, I have never been to school, and the words I know are only one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight or ninety, and my own name, which is not a small difficulty in teaching, so Xiao Jinchen has been studying for the past two days, but it is also easy.

The book in his hand is not ordinary, named Chu Ce, and Ye Siyun's famous Chu Fu is only one word, the name Chu Ce, in fact, it should be called his governing policy, because this book is from top to bottom to teach people how to govern the country, how to strengthen the army, how to follow the people's will and get the people's will, there are a total of twenty-one strategies in the whole book, every word is beautiful, in Xiao Jinchen's opinion, with this book, the truth of the world can be mastered, compared to the things he has seen are much stronger, the more he reads, the more wonderful he feels, there are some small annotations in it, Most of them are closely related to the great politics of the Western Chu Dynasty, which has benefited Xiao Jinchen a lot.

And the author of this book, is Chen Wenbo, who is called Chen Bubo by his mother, this old man, really worthy of his name of Confucianism, a scholarly spirit, arrogant, and extremely romantic, after saying goodbye to Mengwanzhong that day, Chen Wenbo came to him, saying that he wanted to teach him how to govern the country, so he did what he said, and directly gave Xiao Jinchen what he had learned in his life to Xiao Jinchen, which even made Xiao Jinchen feel that he was a little unworthy, Chen Wenbo was good to him because he liked his mother, that was their business, why did he Xiao Jinchen.

Chen Wenbo seemed to guess his thoughts, and joked with him with a smile: "If you really feel sorry for it, it's okay to call me Dad."

This can involve a matter of principle, just kidding, you can change anything, but the surname is a big taboo, but Xiao Jinchen has a lot less resistance to this matter, and some gratitude is not necessarily said, take it to heart, remind yourself at all times, and repay it silently, which is much better than lying on your lips with hypocrisy.

Today's Peach Blossom Nunnery still has very few guests, after all, there are more than 20 days before the New Year, and things at home will always be better than outside, this is the consensus of people, not to mention that with more and more people who go out to beg for a life come back, the family reunites, even if it is a bite of leftovers, it is also fragrant.

Xiao Jinchen sat on the chair, Wu Wei sat on the other side, the young prince read a sentence in the book, he followed along, Yuanfu sat not far away, with a smile on his face, he likes this kind of life, he doesn't have to look at people's faces to act, and there are not so many grievances and killings, which makes people feel extra relieved, there is a kind of idea of living a life like this, Yuanfu knows that this is impossible, so he feels even more precious.

Wu Yong leaned and sat on the threshold, for two days, no matter how Xiao Jinchen persuaded him, he just liked to sit here and listen to his grandson's reading, not to mention how comfortable it was, he hoped that there would be a big man with a future on Axe Street, but those who were old had already been stereotyped, and no matter how much they changed, they couldn't change anything, so after thinking about it, he pushed his grandson out, of course, he was also selfish, and the old man who had suffered all his life knew that he was pitiful without knowledge, so he didn't want his next generation to be like this, Isn't he a living example, but if he can have a little knowledge, why should he kneel to this young man? How can you let your grandchildren suffer with you?

The old man's chest was a little stuffy, he smiled, he was sick, he had been guilty of a lot lately, he somehow wanted to take a sip of wine, and when he saw the two of them stop, he cleared his throat.

"Xiao Gongzi, I don't know if I can give the old man a glass of wine to drink."

Xiao Jinchen agreed 10,000 times, anyway, there was a lot of wine, so he agreed with a smile: "Okay."

"Erdan, bring a bowl of wine for grandpa." The old man greeted his grandson.

That Wu Wei grinned when he heard this, and quickly went to the counter to pour a bowl of wine for Wu Yong, his favorite thing to do was to feed his grandfather wine, because as long as this is the case, he feels that he is not a burden, grandpa has no arms, then he is grandpa's arms.

Wu Yong waited for his grandson to wipe off the wine from his mouth, just wanted to speak, but felt a tearing pain in his chest, the old man remembered one thing in a trance, the year his son died, he was not at home, I heard his daughter-in-law say that his son was holding his chest and died, and his daughter-in-law was depressed in the next year, at this moment, the old man seemed to understand something.

There is no fear of death, living to his age, he sees life and death very lightly, he is just a little worried about his grandson, but he has no strength to get up, the old man silently said in his heart, I hope my grandson can meet a good master, and then lowered his head.

Wu Wei didn't hear the expected compliment, in the past, grandpa would praise himself at this time, why didn't he say it this time, why did he suddenly lower his head, the last time the person who bowed his head in front of him was called Wu Ming, it was his father, and then he died, so Wu Wei suddenly panicked, his mouth was deflated, and he finally cried.

Xiao Jinchen raised his head suddenly, he didn't know what was going on, he subconsciously glanced at Yuanfu, but saw the young eunuch sighing, there was impermanence in his eyes, in fact, Yuanfu noticed that something was wrong with the old man after he finished drinking, but it was too late, so he didn't move, planning to let the two of them say goodbye, but who would have thought that he would lose his breath without even saying a word.

Xiao Jinchen got up and walked to Wu Wei and squatted down, touched the young man's head, and was stunned.

……

Zhou Zeyu has been staring at the three miserable men not far away for two days, but he is getting more and more confused, these three people don't look like the fierce people, especially the relationship between the three people is the most moving, the care next to the middle accommodates the middle, although the middle doesn't speak, but whether he eats or drinks, he always lets the two next to him come first.

But he didn't dare to take it lightly, and he also found out about one thing, it is said that these three were beaten up on the other side of Axe Street, and he didn't know the name of the man, otherwise he would have patted the man on the shoulder and called him brother.

Suddenly, Zhou Zeyu only felt that his hairs stood on end, and he quickly flashed to the side, he looked back at the person, good guy, this is too ugly, there are so many scars on his face, it is like a ghost, but now is not the time for him to wonder, almost without thinking about it, he knows that this person is the murderer of Lao Liu, it seems that Xu Ningzhi has noticed himself.

Zhou Zeyu ran away, the man didn't succeed in one blow, he was a little surprised, but he didn't pause, he stood in front of Zhou Zeyu in one step, and he was about to slap it with a palm.

Zhou Zeyu couldn't dodge when he saw it, but he knew that this place was very close to Axe Street, maybe Yuanfu was also there, although he didn't know what Yuanfu's strength was, but he was definitely better than this person, and he didn't care if he escaped or not, so he shouted at the top of his throat: "Yuanfu, save me."

The man in black thought that someone was really coming, so he quickly turned back, but the back was clean, how could there be anyone, he was angry in an instant, and he turned around and wanted to take a picture, but it was not Zhou Zeyu in front of him, but a very young shy man, Yuan Fu smiled, slapped it over, and the man in black fainted directly.
