"It's over, I must be misunderstood by my daughter-in-law that I'm lazy." Chen Zikun stood on the balcony and sighed, turned around and jumped, only to hear the snap under his feet, as if something was broken.

Slowly lifting his foot, the red celluloid fountain pen had turned into pieces.

"The wind is so fucking big." Chen Zikun slowly picked up the fragments of the fountain pen, put them in the palm of his hand and tried to assemble them, the pen tip and ink bladder were still intact, but the pen barrel was broken, and the spell was definitely not able to be put together, and he was having a headache, suddenly hearing a sound of footsteps, a group of female students walked into the classroom excitedly, and Lin Wenjing was among them.

"Uncle, have you done your homework?" As soon as Lin Wenjing's words fell, he saw the wreckage of the fountain pen in Chen Zikun's hand, and he was stunned, and tears fell down.

"That, don't cry, I'll buy a new one to compensate you." Chen Zikun said clumsily.

"You are so disagreeable, your young lady is kind enough to teach you to write, but you broke her pen, can you afford it? It was a gift from her mother. Wang Yueqi said menacingly.

"Forget it, he didn't mean to." Lin Wenjing said in a low voice, took the wreckage from Chen Zikun's hand, and went away without a sound.

"Hmph" Wang Yueqi snorted coldly at Chen Zikun, and turned her head away.

Chen Zikun scratched his head, "All the previous efforts have been wasted!" ”

This matter can't be delayed, Chen Zikun hurriedly came to the library, Assistant Mao was sorting out and classifying newspapers and magazines, and when he saw Chen Zikun coming in, he said, "Brother Chen is here to find Director Li, he just went out." ”

Chen Zikun said: "It's okay to look for you, I want to know where to sell fountain pens in Beijing, the kind of tap pens with red barrels and very delicate fountain pens." ”

Assistant Mao thought for a while and said: "There are a lot of wolves and sheep hairs sold in Dong'an Market, but there are few fountain pens sold. ”

"Thank you, Brother Mao." Chen Zikun turned his head and left, pulling his foreign car straight to Dongjiaomin Lane.

Dongjiaomin Lane is the embassy area, guarded by soldiers from all over the world in turn, in January is the British soldiers on duty, next to the iron gate, wearing yellow tweed military uniforms and wearing bowls and steel helmets British soldiers patrol back and forth, the bayonet on the shoulder is shining, Chen Zikun pulled the foreign car straight in, came to the door of the Six Nations Hotel and stopped, but saw Xiao Shunzi hanging his head and coming out of it, wearing a clean coat, and his face was very white.

"Little Shunzi, why are you here?" Chan asked.

"Hey, don't mention it, I heard this morning that the Six Nations Hotel was recruiting West Cubs, so I came upside down, and the first round was brushed down." Xiao Shunzi had a sad face and was depressed.

"Why was it brushed off? Haven't you been preparing for a long time? Chen Zikun said in surprise.

Xiao Shunzi said: "I kind of understand, this West Cub is not so easy to be, you think, you can earn more than a dozen yuan a month just by tipping, don't rob crazy, those Chinese assistants in the hotel, Xiangli have stuffed relatives and friends into it, I have no way to just join in the fun, there is no drama at all." ”

"Give me your registration form." Chan said.

"Big Chen, what do you want to do?" Xiao Shunzi hesitated and handed over his registration form, which had already been crossed with a big cross.

"If they are allowed to go the way, won't we be allowed to go the way?" Chen Zikun took the registration form in one hand, pulled Xiaoshunzi in the other, and went straight to the door of the Six Nations Hotel.

The Six Nations Hotel is a place where ministers, officials, and people from Beijing's upper class gather together, and the decoration is magnificent, and the people who come and go are well-dressed, suits and leather shoes, and the doorman wears a red European-style uniform, serving the guests politely, and suddenly sees two shabby-dressed Chinese swaggering in, and the doorman is stunned, and he forgets to stop it.

Chen Zikun came to the front desk, rang the bell, and a waiter in a suit looked at him with disdain, and said in a sarcastic tone: "We don't need to work here. ”

Chen Zikun was tall and looked at him condescendingly: "Is this how you treat guests, call your manager." ”

Xiao Shunzi was frightened, and timidly pulled the corner of Chen Zikun's clothes: "Don't dare to mess around in this place, let's go." ”

Chen Zikun stood still, stared at the waiter and said, "Didn't you hear clearly? I repeat, call your managers. ”

The waiter turned his head and shouted, "Guard! ”

"What's the matter?" A man in a suit with shiny hair walked over, followed by two tall Indian guards, looking at the name tag on his chest, it was the deputy manager of the lobby.

"These two are making trouble." The waiter pointed to Chen Zikun and said.

The deputy manager of the lobby was just about to ask the guards to pick up people, but Chen Zikun took out a business card: "My lord has something to find your manager." ”

The deputy manager of the lobby took the business card suspiciously, and a stereotypical face suddenly smiled: "Oh, please sit down, come on, bring two cups of coffee." ”

The waiters hurriedly stepped forward, beckoned Chen Zikun and Xiao Shunzi to sit on the sofa, and served fragrant coffee and pastries, and the deputy manager of the lobby hurriedly went upstairs with his business card.

"Big Chen, what kind of reputation are you doing?" Xiao Shunzi was restless, frightened, and didn't dare to drink coffee.

Chen Zikun crossed Erlang's legs and said proudly: "Help you set the job." ”

As he was talking, a blonde and blue-eyed foreigner manager came downstairs, and his Chinese language was quite good: "Hello, what do you have to tell Professor Gu?" ”

Chen Zikun said: "Our master asked me to bring his film to ensure that this person works with you." He pointed to the little straight.

The foreigner manager looked at Xiao Shunzi, the young man was clean and energetic, and his facial features were also thoughtful, so he said: "The person sent by Professor Gu, of course we welcome, Jimmy, go and take him through the formalities." ”

Xiao Shunzi couldn't believe his ears, the dream job was easily obtained, what kind of demon trick did Chen Da use to make the foreign managers of the Six Nations Hotel bow down.

The foreigner manager continued to say to Chen Zikun: "Please tell Professor Gu that his speech "Spring and Autumn Righteousness" at the Six Nations Hotel last time was really wonderful, and we look forward to Professor Koo's visit again.

Chen Zikun said with a big grin: "Well, I will naturally tell our master, but whether he comes or not is his business." ”

The foreigner didn't care about his rudeness, but smiled and said, "If there is anything else you can serve, please command." ”

Chen Zikun pinched a silver dollar on his waist and said, "I want to buy a fountain pen, but I don't know where to sell it." ”

The foreigner was secretly shocked, and Gu Hongming really deserved to be called a "strange master", even his servants were the same as the master, dressed like a coolie from the lower class, and his language and behavior were rude, but in fact, he was a master of Chinese and Western culture, you must know that ordinary Chinese can't even use a brush, let alone a fountain pen.

The manager immediately arranged for a waiter to take Chen Zikun to buy a fountain pen, and Xiao Shunzi was also taken to register his name and go through the formalities.

Chen Zikun squeezed his eyes at him, and followed the waiter to the store attached to the hotel, where there was a dazzling array of goods from Europe and the United States, and naturally there were also tap pens, including Montblanc from Germany, Parker from the United States, and some British and Japanese brands, but there was no slender women's fountain pen with a red barrel like Lin Wenjing.

"It's so fucking expensive, even if there is, I can't afford it." Chen Zikun clutched the only silver dollar in his pocket, and his pride was devastated, these fountain pens were expensive, and the cheapest price was more than five yuan.

Stupidly came out of the Liuguo Hotel, and just walked to the side of the foreign car, an old man beckoned: "Foreign car!"

Chen Zikun was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart that I am a self-use car at home, and I don't do business with the outside world, but it is not bad to save money to buy a fountain pen for my daughter-in-law while I am free, so I greeted warmly like other coachmen: "Old man, you are auspicious, where are you going?" ”

The old man was wearing a long shirt, with a white beard, and a fairy style, and got into the car with the help of Chen Zikun, and said, "How much does it cost to go to Fayuan Temple?" ”

"Take your liking." Chen Zikun is a cheerful person, this business is really a coincidence, if it is somewhere else, he, a newcomer to the country, may not know, but Fayuan Temple is in the south of Xuanwumen Waijiaozi Hutong, back and forth several times.

Chen Zikun pulled up the car and walked away, he was tall and long-legged, running like chasing the wind and the moon, the old man was in the car, closed his eyes and recuperated, and when he arrived at the gate of Fayuan Temple, Chen Zikun put the car down and said: "Old man, it's here." ”

The old man got out of the car, touched his pocket, and looked ashamed: "I'm really sorry, I didn't bring any money." ”

"It's okay, I'm slipping my legs." Chen Zikun waved his hand, and he was arrogant.

"That's not going to work." The old man was very stubborn, "Little brother, you wait here, I'll go back." With that, he hurriedly entered the Fayuan Temple.

Chen Zikun had to wait at the door, not much effort, the old man came out with a piece of rice paper, on which was an ink painting, a few shrimp jumped on the paper, the ink was not dry, obviously just drawn, next to the date of the payment, one side of the seal on the four seal characters "Baishi Mountain People".

"Little brother, this painting is the right to be used as a fare, please accept it with a smile." The old man handed over the painting.

Chen Zikun was a little unhappy, squatting at the door for a long time and thinking that the old man had gone back to get the money, how did he know that he took a painting to fill the number, a broken painting, three dollars are not worth two dollars, but look at the old man's kind intentions, and accept it Don't embarrass the family.

"Okay, I'll take it." Chen Zikun took the painting and threw it on the car, arched his hand at the old man, turned around and left.

As soon as he walked out a dozen steps, suddenly a shout came from behind him: "Those who pull foreign cars, stay." ”

When I turned my head, I saw a blind man wearing sunglasses sitting on the side of the road, with three words written on it under a banner: Hu Banxian.

"Demi-Immortal, you call me?" Chen Zikun stopped and asked.

"Come here." The blind man beckoned at him.

"What's the matter?" Chan walked up to the blind man and squatted down.

"You're going to have a big disaster lately." The blind man said.

Chen Zikun said with a smile: "Don't fool me, I'm the head of the peach blossom luck, and I'm about to marry a daughter-in-law, where is the difficulty?" ”

The blind man said, "No, no, although you have had noble people to help you recently, you have brought small luck, and you can't withstand this great calamity." ”

Chen Zikun laughed: "Half immortal, your set is all leftovers from other people's play, you have the ability to guess what my name is, where I live, and how many people in my family." ”

The blind man said, "It's easy, put your hand out and I'll see." ”

Chen Zikun wondered: "Aren't you blind, what do you think?" ”

The blind man took off his sunglasses and said, "Does the one who wears sunglasses have to be blind?" "The eyes are bright, and he is not blind at all.

"Ouch, I'm sorry for you." Chen Zikun quickly apologized and stretched out his left hand.

Hu Banxian looked at his palm prints, looked at his face again, stroked his beard and said: "Although you speak with a Guanwai accent, you belong to the south and the north, and you are resolute and resolute between your eyebrows. ”
