Chapter 118: Pulling Relations
Soon after the disciple entered, Xue Yan came out of the house - the so-called flower sedan chair is a person, if you want to become a leader in the industry, a famous master, not only must you have real skills, but also need to be praised and coaxed by others, otherwise you are afraid of deep alleys if you have good wine, no matter how big your ability is, if no one knows, how can those rich and powerful people come to you to see a doctor? Therefore, Xue Yan has always attached great importance to a person like Su Hao, who has a wide range of contacts, otherwise Su Hao would not have sent someone to invite him to visit the doctor yesterday afternoon.
When the two sides meet, it is a cold and lively scene, Su Hao is the owner of the teahouse, he deals with all kinds of people from the three religions and nine streams every day, he is skilled and sophisticated in dealing with people, although his lips are thick, he has a three-inch tongue, there is no danger of being cold in the place where he is, Su Quan's eloquence is another performance, although he is not as sophisticated and sleek as his brother, but he is full of poetry and books, and his export is a chapter, and no one dares to despise it.
Seeing that Su Quan's body has recovered, Xue Yan is also smiling, he has long heard that Su Hao has such a knowledgeable second brother, but Su Quan has been teaching in Meilong Town for many years, and it is rare to come back once a year, so he only heard his name, but did not see his person, and the other party was sick yesterday, and it was inconvenient to say too much. Entering the house, everyone sat down.
"Jing'er, don't hurry up and salute Doctor Xue." Su Quan instructed his nephew.
Su Jing had been told repeatedly before he came, and when he heard the order, he immediately came and knelt down in front of Xue Yan's seat, and kowtowed respectfully, "Su Jing kowtowed to Doctor Xue." ”
"Hehe, good, who is this kid?" Xue Yan stretched out his hand, smiled and motioned for Su Jing to get up, and at the same time set his eyes on Su Quan - when he saw a doctor yesterday, Su Jing was dragged to the side room by his mother to talk, so Xue Yan had never seen Su Jing.
"Oh, this is my eldest brother's son, he came to Meilong Town to study with me half a year ago, and this time he returned to Qingyun City, one is to accompany me back to see a doctor, and the other is to find a famous teacher." Su Quan replied with a smile, and at the same time introduced the purpose of coming back.
"Huh? Brother Su is very knowledgeable, he has a good export chapter, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, all of which are fine, with a teacher like you to teach, do you need to hire another teacher? Could it be that Brother Su wants to go out of the mountain again and return to his career? Xue Yan was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked - Su Quan is quite famous in the literati circle of Qingyun City, and Xue Yan has also heard of his affairs, it is rumored that Su Quan was the chief staff of He Kun He of Yangzhou Assassin History, and later He Kun's embezzlement of disaster relief funds was reported and dismissed, and Su Quan was implicated and went into hiding, but then again, with Su Quan's talent and experience as a staff member of the Assassin History, it is extremely easy to find a backer in the officialdom to seek an errand. But Su Quan went to a remote town like Meilong Town to become a teacher, and many people thought it was a bit incredible, so if Su Quan really had plans to go out of the mountain again, it would be reasonable.
"Hehe, Divine Doctor Xue misunderstood. For the time being, I have no plans to re-enter the official career, and it is not that I want to stop teaching my nephew in the future, but my ability is limited, and I need to find a smart teacher for Jing'er. Su Quan explained with a smile.
"Huh? Brother Su is already a well-educated Confucian, and he is unique in calligraphy and painting, if even you feel that your ability is limited, I really can't think of anyone who is qualified. Xue Yan smiled dumbly - looking at Su Jing's appearance, he is only eight or nine years old, and if he can't teach it with Su Quan's fame, isn't it a big joke?
"Hehe, the ruler is short, the inch is long, although the calligraphy and painting are small and successful, barely boasting, but the chess game is really general, and it is not worthy of the eyes of the masters." Su Quan said with a smile.
"Uh, listening to what Brother Su meant, isn't it that he is planning to invite a Go teacher for Jing'er?" Hearing a little clue, Xue Yan asked.
"Exactly. Jing'er has been learning chess with Su for more than four months, and her chess skills are improving rapidly, I am becoming more and more difficult, and I am worried that my own ability is not enough to delay the child, so I want to ask a teacher again to teach Jing'er the way of chess. Su Quan replied.
Seeing that the second brother had already substituted the topic into the topic, Su Hao also interjected, "Hehe, Doctor Xue, this visit is to thank you for yesterday's diagnosis, and the other is to ask Doctor Xue to help Jing'er introduce a Yilin master as a teacher, Doctor Xue is known as a good chess player, has many friends in Qingyun Yitan, and has a wide range of popularity, if you can help the dog find a famous teacher, Su is grateful, and he will thank him with heavy gifts." ”
"Oh, I see. Hehe, it's easy to say, it's a good thing. Boss Su, which master do you plan to let the child worship in? "The brothers of the Su family ask themselves to be the introducer, that is also their own face, this kind of thing Xue Yan will naturally not refuse, but Su Hao has lived in Qingyun City for a long time, although he is not from Yilin, but he is by no means ignorant of the situation in Yilin, please have a calculation in his heart before recommending candidates.
"Heh, I heard that Zhao Rongnan and Liu Shijie are the most famous chess players in Qingyun City, and it would be best if Jing'er could worship under the two of them, but" At this time, Su Hao's face showed hesitation.
"Just what?" Xue Yan asked.
"It's just that Jing'er only has a month and a half to learn chess, I'm worried that the time is too short, and the names of the two gentlemen are too big, I'm afraid I won't accept it." Su Hao explained.
"Huh? Why is that? What can you learn in just a month and a half? Hearing that there was such a condition, Xue Yan was surprised-no wonder Su Hao made a special trip to ask for his help! Zhao Rongnan and Liu Shijie are all chess players who opened the hall to teach apprentices, although the standard of accepting apprentices is very high, but it is not without room for flexibility, if the student's talent is not high, it can still be included in the high tuition fee, (after all, no one will deliberately get along with money), Su Jing looks like a smart child, and the Su family is not a family that is short of money, if you want to worship under those two disciples, you can prepare a lot of money to come to the door directly, and you don't need to ask yourself to come forward at all.
"Hehe, Doctor Xue doesn't know." Su Quan smiled and continued--If you don't explain things clearly, it is impossible for Xue Yan to really help.
"Meilong Town, where I live now, is going to hold a Go tournament at the end of this year, and there are probably less than two months left, and I want Jing'er to participate in the tournament and win the championship, so the time to learn chess is only one and a half months."
"In this way, I've been to Meilong Town twice before, and I've met the old lady of the Liu family there, I don't know how his health is now, is he okay?" Xue Yan asked with a smile.
"Oh, Mrs. Liu is in good health and in good spirits, and this Go competition is led by his old man." Su Quan said with a smile - since the two of them know each other, things are much easier.
