Chapter 47: Receiving Disciples
"No kidding, how can I afford you."
Chu Fengquan was joking when he thought Sun Qi, and the dignified prefect gave him a part-time job, and it sounded fantastical.
"Cousin, there will be a scientific examination in two months, you don't want to read well, be careful of your father's punishment."
"My ambition is not in the scientific examination, I just want to follow Chu Gongzi to make money, you see that Chu Gongzi is not scientific examination, but it does not prevent him from being powerful."
"How can you compare with Chu Feng, he can do everything, and he can get a good future without scientific research."
"So I'm going to learn from him."
Sun Qi is close to his heart, he has been thinking about this for half a month, and he has to do it today.
Chu Feng was also embarrassed, although it was true that he could make money by following him to open a bookstore, but as the son of the prefect, the best way out must be scientific research.
"I can promise you, but first your father agrees."
"I'll go talk to him now." Sun Qi made up his mind and walked to the front hall, although he was not sure, but he had to try.
Qin Luoshi was afraid that he would be beaten, so he went with him, and Chu Feng and Zhou Zhou Nuo also followed.
"What?! You're not doing the exam? So what do you want to do? ”
Governor Sun slapped the book in his hand on the table and glared at Sun Qi.
"I want to do business with Gongzi Chu."
"You, the son of Chu was born to do business, you are my son, don't I know how many catties and taels you have?"
Governor Sun's hands trembled, and he took a few deep breaths before calming down a little, if he hadn't seen Chu Feng there, he would have slapped him a long time ago.
His son himself knows best, and Sun Qi has been in trouble with him for a while because of this.
After a stalemate for a while, Governor Sun invited Chu Feng aside: "Young Master Chu, you are only one year older than Sun Qi, but I can see that you are much better than him in all aspects, so the old man handed over his son to you, please teach him well." ”
Well?
Chu Feng didn't understand his words, a small question mark on his face, first of all, he was sure that Governor Sun definitely didn't agree to Sun Qi to give him a small job.
"Young Master Chu, you are knowledgeable, I am very relieved to hand over the child to you to teach, my only request is to ask him to participate in this year's scientific examination, please Chu Gongzi."
Governor Sun arched his hand at Chu Feng and said, at the moment, this is undoubtedly the best arrangement for Sun Qi.
He had seen Chu Feng's ability, and he had secretly observed him, whether it was for his old mother's medical treatment, or his behavior, or the poems he wrote, they were all impossible for ordinary people to do, even when he was young, compared to Chu Feng, it was far behind.
Everyone was talking about a loser before, but after he observed, he was not a loser at all.
As the governor of a state, he understands better than anyone else the truth that he uses his eyes and does not need his ears to see people.
Governor Sun has said this, and Chu Feng will be a little ignorant if he refuses again.
Moreover, Sun Qi's identity is the prefect's little son, and it is only fitting that many matters of the bookstore are entrusted to him.
In this way, Chu Feng became Sun Qi's master.
"Really, Dad, did you really promise me? Great, great! ”
Sun Qi jumped three feet tall happily, not at all like a fifteen-year-old boy, and gave a big hug to Sun Zhifu.
Sun Zhifu was stunned for a moment, and gently patted his son's back, and his mood was better.
He has been strict with Sun Qi since he was a child, and his son has never been so close to him.
After lowering his head and wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes, he said, "It's so old and so unstable, you have to study hard with Gongzi Chu in the future." ”
"Yes Dad, I will!"
Subsequently, under the witness of several people, Sun Qi bowed to Chu Feng.
Qin Run staggered over, and when he heard that after Sun Qi became Chu Feng's apprentice, he could go directly to the Chu family without saying hello to his uncle and grandfather, he was also shouting to apprentice.
"Do you know what an apprentice is? Eat your pastries well and don't mess with them. ”
"Uncle and grandfather, my grandfather said that I am not a child anymore, I know what apprenticeship is, I want to worship my eldest brother as a teacher, I want to follow him to make a lot of delicious food, and I learned to be the first to eat for my uncle and grandfather."
This made everyone laugh, especially Governor Sun, who laughed heartily, he really liked this nephew so much, no wonder he could coax his grandfather so serious and stereotypical to be so happy.
"Okay, okay, then you will be your eldest brother's apprentice from now on."
"But I haven't done the apprenticeship yet."
Everyone couldn't resist him, so they had to rely on him, so a pair of chubby little hands handed it to Chu Feng with a cup of tea: "Master, please drink tea." ”
Coming out of Governor Sun's mansion, Chu Feng and Sun Qi went to see the shop of the bookstore, and Zhou Nuo and Qin Luoshi went to someone else's house to attend the banquet.
"Master, I know there is a shop that is very suitable for a bookstore, let's go there directly."
Sun Qi has a master, and his name is very smooth, and Chu Feng is not wrong about him, the shop he is looking for is indeed very good, and it is very suitable for the bookstore.
But when I asked about the price, the tooth asked for two thousand taels of silver for rent, and he didn't give a penny cheap.
Although Chu Feng is not short of money now, he has invested a lot in the later stage of opening the bookstore, and he doesn't want to spend more money that shouldn't be spent.
Seeing Chu Feng's hesitation, the tooth man began to boast about how good the shop was.
What he said is true, there are not so many shops in Dingzhou Mansion that can be suitable for being a bookstore, and this Chu Feng also fell in love, but the price cannot be negotiated.
"The two sons look extraordinary, renting such a large shop must be a big business, and these three melons and two dates still care."
"What do you mean by three melons and two dates? Is it true that those who do big business will be wronged by you! Sun Qi went back dissatisfied.
"Let's see, and we'll come back to that."
Chu Feng pulled Sun Qi and walked to Yayu on the other street.
This tooth guy knew Sun Qi, and when he saw him coming, he hurriedly greeted him: "Sun Gongzi, what do you need me to do?" ”
Sun Qi followed the words that Chu Feng had just taught him, and said, "My family has a few shops to rent on the next street, can you see what price you can give?" ”
"Dare to ask where exactly is the shop?"
Sun Qi said the location of the shop they saw just now, and the tooth guy thought for a while and said, "Sun Gongzi, although the shop there is large, the location is not the most prosperous, and it can be rented for a maximum of 1,500 taels a year." ”
"Can't it be any higher?"
"It can't be any higher, fifteen hundred taels are said to be high."
Sun Qi glanced at Chu Feng, and after the two made eye contact, Sun Qi continued: "You are so sure, can you also rent out the shop over there?" ”
"Of course I can, I'm the biggest guy in Dingzhou Mansion, and I can find you any kind of house you want."
"Okay, then at the price you just said, I rented that shop."
Yayu didn't react a little, didn't he have to rent a house just now? Why do you have to rent an apartment now?
"Sun Gongzi, I heard you right, right? Are you going to rent a house from me instead of putting a house with me for rent? ”
"You heard it right, let's go through the process now, 1,500 taels a year, and we'll rent it for three years first."
Chu Feng took out four thousand five hundred taels from his arms and put them on the table, and did not forget to praise Sun Qi with his eyes.
This kid is very smart, Chu Feng just taught him a little on the way over, and he did this thing so beautifully, it seems that he is a person who can be reused.
After the tooth reacted for a while, he had to agree, how could he easily take back what he said.
It's just that in the past, he used to trap others, but he didn't expect to be trapped.
Although the price of 1,500 taels was low, he would not lose money, so he reluctantly went to the government to go through the formalities.
The shop is easy to say, and the headaches are still to come.
