Chapter 19: Yizhuang (Fourth Shift)

Now that you've come to a new world, you have to go out and explore.

It is better to read 10,000 books than to travel 10,000 miles.

It is also a harvest to visit the Qinglou, see the casino, and understand the customs of this era.

In short, it's good not to stay in that uncomfortable room.

Well, to be honest, it was actually Chu Nan who had no money in his pocket and was kicked out by the proprietress.

Even eating is a problem right now.

"No money? I won't make money if I don't have money! I have hands and feet, but my mother didn't open this inn to study the church and do charity. ”

A fierce woman yelled at him.

Chu Nan was kicked out of the guest room, and now he is wearing a tattered robe, which is inevitably pointed at, but the good thing is that this is the most common clothes in this era, and no one suspects that he is a traverser at all.

"The old lady looks down on you the most, a self-proclaimed scholar, you can't pick your shoulders, you can't carry your back, you don't have the strength, you have no money? ”

The fierce fat woman spat on the ground, looking very disdainful.

Chu Nan suddenly remembered, Yizhuang, isn't that the home of Uncle Jiu!

It seems that this is Renjia Town.

Chu Nan's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly stepped forward and flattered: "Auntie, do you know where Yizhuang is?"

The fierce fat woman glanced at him, and said with her nostrils facing the sky: "Go out, turn left, and walk five miles further, and it will be Yizhuang." ”

Looking at Chu Nan's disappearing back, the fat woman muttered: "You have become a fool when you read!

Chu Nancai can't manage so much, and the most important thing at the moment is nothing more than worshipping Uncle Jiu as a teacher.

trotted all the way, and when he reached a Zhuangzi, Chu Nan was already sweating profusely.

Tuk Tuk Tuk –

Chu Nan went up and knocked on the door, and after a while, the door was opened, and a person probed.

"Who are you looking for?"

Chu Nan saw that he was a little fat and a little stupid, and immediately guessed that he was Qiusheng.

"Hello, I'm here looking for work. ”

Looking for a job? Qiusheng thought it was a little funny, and came to Yizhuang to find a job? What else could he do in Yizhuang? Move zombies with himself?

Immediately, he refused: "Little brother, we are Yizhuang here, you can't do the work here." ”

Chu Nan hurriedly squeezed up, "But, I really need to find a job." ”

Qiusheng was about to refuse again, when a familiar voice came from the courtyard: "Qiusheng, invite someone in, come in and tell me something, how many times have I told you, don't stop the guests at the door." ”

"Oh. Qiusheng touched his head, opened the door, and said humbly: "Master let you in." ”

Chu Nan said gratefully: "Thank you, thank you." ”

After entering the courtyard, Chu Nan found that this Zhuangzi was not small, but it was indeed a little scary, because there were a few coffins parked in the small thatched house next to it.

Uncle Nine walked out, and when Chu Nan saw the idol in his mind when he was a child, he was inevitably a little excited, and hurriedly shouted, "Uncle Nine is good." ”

Uncle Nine didn't care, everyone called him Uncle Nine in Renjia Town, he was used to it, he first looked at Chu Nan, saw that Chu Nan was magnificent, and his appearance was dignified, not like a person with bad intentions, the evaluation was one point higher, and then asked: "Little brother, what are you doing?"

Qiusheng explained on the side: "Master, he said he was looking for a job. ”

Uncle Nine was stunned, isn't this a foreigner's statement?

The ninth uncle said kindly: "Little brother, I am here in Yizhuang, if you want to find a job, you should go to the Ren family, the Ren family is rich, and the shops on a street are rented from the Ren family." ”

"However, I heard from them that Uncle Nine is a good person, kind-hearted, a living bodhisattva, and always sends warmth to those in need. ”

Chu Nan slapped a sycophant.

Uncle Nine was stunned, this was the first time he had been praised in person.

Living Bodhisattva? Am I that good?

Although there are already two apprentices, Wencai and Qiusheng, these two apprentices never boast about themselves, but often cause trouble.

Uncle Nine didn't ask Wencai and Qiusheng to praise himself, he just begged these two goods not to cause trouble for himself, so he burned high incense.

Uncle Nine was embarrassed to be praised, and smiled and gave a color to Qiusheng on the side, "Don't serve tea yet?"

"Come, little brother, come into the house and tell me how they praise me?"

It was Chu Nan's turn to be stunned, is this still the ninth uncle in my impression? Why is it so stinky and beautiful?

Chu Nan quietly followed Uncle Jiu into the house, and after sitting down, Qiusheng made tea and brought it over.

After taking a sip of tea, put down the teacup.

Uncle Nine nodded secretly, although this young man looks quite down, his words and deeds are in line with etiquette, not like a child from a poor family, but like a child from a big family.

"Uncle Nine, in the past few days, I have been tossed and turned to Renjia Town, suffering from white eyes along the way, this is the first time in recent days to drink hot water, Uncle Nine, you are really like those uncles and uncles said, often help poor passers-by. ”

"Haha, false praise, false praise" Uncle Nine felt that Chu Nan's posture of drinking tea was good-looking, so he simply learned Chu Nan's animation when he drank tea.

After drinking some tea, Chu Nan knew that the test was coming.

Just now, Chu Nan had been quietly patting Uncle Jiu's ass, the two had a very happy conversation, and Uncle Jiu even promised to write a letter of recommendation to the Ren family, recommending Chu Nan to go to the Ren family to do things, but Chu Nan cleverly shirked it.

I saw Uncle Jiu put down the teacup and said: "Chu Nan, I see that your words and deeds are extraordinary, you don't look like you are from a cropper, but like the son of a big family, why did you come to Renjia Town?"

Chu Nan straightened up, sighed, and said: "People have joys and sorrows, the moon is cloudy and sunny, don't hide it from Uncle Jiu, after the laydown, my father sent me to study abroad, until a few days ago, I received bad news from my fellow villagers, saying that my Chu family was looted by a group of robbers, and I hurried back to China, but unfortunately it was too late." ”

"The Chu family was burned to the light, I looked for the security chief, no one could tell what kind of robbers it was, in desperation, I had to rush to the Lingnan area, to my father's friend, but my father's friend learned the news of the Chu family's accident, and drove me away with a cold face, and in desperation, I ended up in Renjia Town. ”

Uncle Nine nodded secretly, and said curiously: "Since you have studied abroad, why don't you find an errand in your hometown?" I believe that with your talents, it should not be a problem to support yourself." ”

Chu Nan took out a set of rhetoric prepared in advance, "Uncle Jiu, the old mansion has suffered an accident, I can bear to stay, and when I go to other places, others don't listen to my accent like a local, where are they willing to use me." ”

All this was naturally planned by Chu Nan in advance.

In this era, there are many illiterate people, the labor cost of being able to read a few big characters is higher, the scholars still have some status, and the students who return from abroad are even rarer.

It's important to have a proper background.

It is not necessary to let Uncle Nine feel unfamiliar, but also to make Uncle Nine sympathetic.

After thinking about it, the identity of a scholar is suitable for me.

Uncle Nine nodded and said, "Since this is the case, then you will stay in my Yizhuang to do things first, and when you find a suitable job, it will not be too late to leave." ”

Chu Nan hurriedly thanked him.

Uncle Nine ordered Qiu Sheng again, and he took in Chu Nan.

Chu Nan was happy in his heart, it was definitely not possible to directly worship Uncle Nine as a teacher, he had to adopt roundabout tactics to slowly eliminate Uncle Jiu's vigilance, and finally until the golden stone, sincerity was open, so that it could come to fruition.

He passed the first level of apprenticeship.

This trial task 1 is half completed.
