If the imperial examination is hopeless, or if you want to support your family or something, the more suitable way out is to be a teacher as a teacher. It's just that Mr. Teacher is not so easy to be, it is difficult to enter the government to learn, and it is not so easy to run a private school by himself.

There are many powerful families who are not willing to send their children to study in government schools, but prefer to invite some famous gentlemen to live in the mansion and set up tents to teach.

The benefits of this are obvious, teachers can teach more attentively and attentively, and parents do not have to worry about their children being bullied outside, or being deceived and instigated by others.

Of course, the gentlemen who are tutors are generally very well paid, with no worries about food and clothing, and a good remuneration.

Therefore, this is a very promising job, especially for women, which is a lot more worry-free.

At the same time, the shopkeeper Li listened very puzzled, logically speaking, since he was teaching his daughter, it was impossible to invite a young gentleman.

Why?

This still needs to be asked, teaching and teaching, and falling in love over time, who knows if the daughter will be taught to have a big belly, and whether the gentleman will be transformed into a son-in-law?

In that case, it will be smiling and generous, and it will make people laugh off their big teeth.

At the moment, the emperor didn't seem to have any scruples at all, so he opened his mouth and invited Chen Jianchen to go, is it because of that poem? Speaking of which, it is inevitably a bit of a child's play.

Not only him, but in fact, Chen Jianchen himself was quite puzzled, just looked at the other party, and did not see anything unusual, he groaned slightly, and replied: "The kindness of the old man is appreciated." It's just that the kid is studying at Minghua Academy now, but I'm afraid that he won't be able to separate. ”

Putting aside other factors, it is said that the home of the emperor is in Suzhou, and if he wants to leave his hometown and leave the well, it is difficult for Chen Jianchen to choose. It's not that he has a heavy love for his hometown, but under inertia, he suddenly wants to leave his hometown, but he is a little reluctant.

Besides, it is true that you can make money as a tutor, but you can also make money by staying in Jiangzhou, and there is no need to go so far. In addition, he is still a little suspicious of the identity of the emperor, and it is even more difficult to agree to the other party rashly.

Hearing this, the emperor asked a little eagerly: "Gongzi really doesn't want to go?"

Chen Jianchen shook his head: "It's not that I don't want to, but it's actually difficult to get out, so please ask another teacher from outside." ”

Hearing this, the shopkeeper Li next to him immediately puffed up his chest, and he couldn't wait to say it himself: The good teacher is here......

How do you know that the emperor didn't look at him at all, only sighed regretfully, and arched his hand and said: "In this case, the old man doesn't dare to force it, he has the opportunity to invite the son to the house again." ”

After some gossip, the emperor took the pen and ink, said goodbye and left, and when he left, he sighed and felt sorry for Chen Jianchen's refusal.

Shopkeeper Li sent him out, he didn't think Chen Jianchen refused to be a tutor There is any pity, Chen Jianchen is in his prime, the future is immeasurable, and wasting time to be a gentleman is the brain.

After this incident, Chen Jianchen's status suddenly improved in the mind of Shopkeeper Li. Without him, he is the only one who can make money for the slush and help him make money. The tone suddenly became very polite, and Chen Jianchen was invited to have calligraphy works, although they were sent to Slush Zhai, the consignment time limit could be increased to one month.

Chen Jianchen exchanged a few words with him and returned to the academy.

-- In the process of selling foreign characters and ink to the emperor's staff, Chen Jianchen made a net profit of nearly nine ingots of silver, and effectively earned the first pot of gold in his life, and with this money, he could almost open a calligraphy and painting shop in Jiangzhou by himself.

However, Chen Jianchen was not complacent about this, such a situation was by no means the norm, although there seemed to be no problem with the emperor's official staff, it always gave Chen Jianchen an abnormal feeling.

There must be demons when there are words and things, and there must be demons, and there is always no big mistake in being careful.

In the following period, Chen Jianchen wrote two more words and handed them to Slush Zhai for consignment, but the price was lowered. In addition, he began to ask Wang Fu to help pay attention to see where there was a suitable place to rent and open a calligraphy and painting shop.

Hearing that he was going to find a place to open a calligraphy and painting shop in Jiangzhou, Wang Fu didn't say a word, patted his chest and agreed. It has connections, complex communication, and people in all aspects, who can help.

Five days later, Wang Fu came to Chen Jianchen and said: "Liuxian, I don't know how to do it during this period, there are very few empty houses for rent in the places facing the street......

Chen Jianchen asked, "None of them?"

Wang Fu frowned and replied: "Yes, yes, but there is a big difference with your request...... Well, by the way, there is actually a house at the east end of the street, the place is not small, and the rent is cheap, but ......"

He stopped at this point.

"But what?"

Wang Fu immediately lowered his voice and whispered: "It is said that the house is haunted, and no one dares to move in to live and do business. ”

"Haunted?"

Chen Jianchen raised his eyebrows: "You can talk about it carefully." ”

At that moment, Wang Fu immediately told the general situation-

It turned out that the house belonged to a large landowner surnamed Geng in Jiangzhou, and it was a separate courtyard, which was opened to sell oil. Originally, the business was doing well, but one night half a month ago, in the middle of the night, the place where the oil was stored suddenly made a strange sound, gurgling, like a cow drinking water.

The strange sound woke the man up, and he hurriedly ran out to look, but before he got close to the oil drum, he suddenly saw the oil and water churning, and there was a behemoth in it.

When the giant man heard the human voice, he stood up, his teeth and claws, his mouth was bloody, his eyes were like lamps, and he looked like ghosts, and as soon as he stared, the man was so frightened that he fainted.

Fortunately, the ghost had no intention of hurting anyone, and the guy escaped. But after this incident, he said that he would not do anything.

Hearing that there were ghosts and things, Geng Yuanwai was shocked and angry, and quickly invited a Taoist priest to exorcise evil spirits, but he invited three Taoist priests, and in the end they were all useless.

It didn't take long for the shopkeeper and the guy who sold the oil to run away in fright. Geng Yuan couldn't do anything else, so he had to abandon the yard. Sell it for a low price, or rent it out.

But under such circumstances, where would anyone dare to take over?

Haunted house?

Chen Jianchen smiled suddenly, he didn't suspect that there were really monsters and ghosts in that courtyard, so it didn't play into his arms? As for the Taoist priests invited by the Geng family, it could basically be judged that they were all swaggering and deceiving guys, and they had no real skills--in this world, there were very few real monks, and they often stood in seclusion, and few of them walked around in the mortal world. Chen Jianchen was able to get acquainted with Qingyun at one time, which was really a chance.

"Brother Futai, I want to go to that house tomorrow. ”

Wang Fu was stunned for a moment, but then thought that Chen Jianchen had been taught a spell by Daoist Qingyun, or it was really possible to subdue the ghosts, so he agreed immediately.
