Chapter 61: Another Apprentice

"This is the duck neck!"

"I look like a duck's neck!"

"Duck neck, indeed!"

"Where is this rat head, it's obviously a duck neck, Chu Gongzi Hugh wants to talk nonsense!"

Among the guests, more than half of them all stood on Zhou Tongzhi's side, and the rest were also under consideration.

After a few moments, almost everyone in the guests said that it was a duck's neck, not a rat's head, on the table.

"A few of you, take a closer look, is it a duck neck or a rat head?" Zhou Tongzhi asked with a smile.

Zhou Zhou Nuo couldn't help but shudder when he saw it, and whispered: "Why does his smile make me chills?" ”

"From a distance, it looks like a rat's head, up close, it looks like a rat's head, if you look closely, it looks like a rat's head, forgive me for not seeing, I haven't seen anyone's duck with teeth and beard, could it be that this duck has bone hyperplasia, and eats fish card thorns to grow Bai Sensen's teeth? Or is it a few long whiskers that grow from luxuriant hair? ”

Among the guests, the laughter of a child was heard, and the adult next to him hurriedly covered his mouth.

"So how many of you think this is a rat's head?"

"A few of us look like rat heads."

Zhou Tongzhi took a deep look at Chu Feng and the others, and raised his glass to the guests: "Everyone's intentions are in the eyes of the officials, and we will be friends in the future." ”

……

Ah Wolf searched everywhere he could, but he didn't find any clues, this Zhou Mansion that revealed hypocrisy and treachery everywhere, Chu Feng didn't have to stay.

After a few people came out, they found a tavern and continued to eat, but they were not full at all after being poured out by the rat's head.

"Master, I want to participate in this year's scientific expedition." Sun Qi raised his head and said.

"This is a good thing, your father has always wanted you to take a scientific expedition," Chu Feng patted him on the shoulder and said, this child has been talking less and less since his father's accident, as if he has grown up all of a sudden.

If Governor Sun knew that he was willing to participate in the scientific expedition, he would definitely be very happy.

"Sun Qi, it's good if you can figure it out, if you encounter any difficulties in your studies, you can find your master, we have all seen his talent."

Liu Yuanju said, sandwiching a piece of meat into Chu Feng's bowl: "Brother Chu, my father said that if I can't pass the state exam, I don't have to be his son, you must help me." ”

I was going to talk about this today, but I was almost forgotten by that Zhou Tongzhi.

"I haven't even entered the academy seriously, I'm afraid you're not joking with your future when you say this."

"Brother Chu, don't be modest, we all see your talent."

Feng Yibai also sandwiched a piece of meat for him and said, "We know that you are more humble, but now everyone is your own person, so you don't have to leave room for speech." ”

"Chu Feng, don't be modest, my father said that if I can write a poem like that, give me 100,000 taels for a poem," Zhou Zhou Nuo didn't understand what these literati were polite about, and said with a wink.

"Oh, Brother Chu, we won't delay you too much, we just need you to mention it occasionally."

"Brother Chu, if you don't agree, you just don't treat me as a friend."

Chu Feng is convinced, what these people believe is what it is, think about it carefully, the current scientific examination is nothing more than the content in the Four Books and Five Classics, which requires candidates to memorize by rote, no need to teach, and then poetry and strategy, as a modern person, this is simply too simple.

"It's not impossible to teach you, get the tuition."

"That's no problem, let me apprentice."

"Then you should apprentice."

Unexpectedly, Liu Yuanju did not hesitate at all, and knelt down directly in front of Chu Feng: "Master, please accept the apprentice's worship." ”

Chu Feng thought that this guy was just drinking and joking, but he didn't think that the next day he actually came to the door with a bunch of gifts.

"Master, you haven't drunk the apprentice's apprenticeship tea yet, and today is considered an official apprenticeship."

"It's not a brother, are you really here?"

Chu Feng's only little sleepiness dissipated in an instant, and he said in surprise.

"Of course, it's hard to chase after a word, you promised me in person yesterday, and everyone else can testify, you can't go back."

"Does your dad know?"

"I know, he is very happy, let me learn from you."

Yes, I was put here, and Chu Feng had to drink this cup of apprenticeship tea if he didn't drink it.

Sun Qi walked in from outside with a book, and Liu Yuanju happily went over and hugged his neck: "Senior brother, how is your father?" Don't have any signs of waking up yet? ”

"The wound on my body is almost healed, but I am still in a coma...... Wait, why do you call me Senior Brother? ”

Liu Yuanju raised his head proudly: "Because your master is also my master now, you apprenticed earlier than me, can't I call you senior brother?" ”

"Then shouldn't you call me Senior Brother too?" Qin Run, who was eating dried fruits on the side, said.

"That's right, junior brother, I apprenticed at the same time as Rolling Roll, if you are my junior brother, you are also his junior brother." Sun Qi said with a smile.

Liu Yuanju looked at the harazi on Qin Run's mouth, and after struggling in his heart, he arched his hand and said, "Senior brother." ”

"Hello junior brother," Qin Run said with satisfaction, and stuffed the dried fruit in his hand into his mouth.

Liu Yuanju flattened his mouth, a little uncomfortable, but he couldn't say.

Sun Qi reported to Chu Feng the situation of the bookstore in the past few days, after the first three episodes of "Journey to the West" came out, it didn't sell well at first, but after a few days of oral transmission, the sales improved, and there were many more people who came to the bookstore to buy books.

Seeing that Chu Feng's bookstore made money, the three bookstores directly began to blatantly do piracy, which was a little cheaper than Chu Feng's, which led to a part of the passenger flow pouring into there, and the sales volume of Chu Feng's bookstore was directly cut off.

"When did the copyright law start to be promoted?"

Chu Feng was a little helpless, there is no awareness of copyright in this era, and there has always been such a vicious competition between bookstores and bookstores.

Chu Feng decided to go to the bookstore now to see for himself.

"You're all doing your homework at home, I'll come back and check it out."

After a brief explanation, Chu Feng took Ah Wolf and walked towards the bookstore.

The bookstore is called Mu Linsen, and the words on the plaque were written by Chu Feng himself, and the bookstore, which was still lively the day before yesterday, was half a morning today, but there were few people at the door.

Chu Feng walked into the bookstore, and the manager of the bookstore greeted him with a smile: "The owner, what are your orders?" ”

"Why are there so many fewer people who have come to buy books in the past two days?"

"Alas, everyone thinks that we sell it too expensive, so they all go to the next few stores to buy it, they are really too much, so they come out exactly the same according to our publications."

In the past two days, the sales have declined sharply, and Steward Chen has talked to those bookstores, and the requirements they gave are either that they participate in the shares and have the business to be divided equally, or they can directly grab it as now.

Steward Chen blasted them out on the spot, and dared to say such a shameless proposal.

"Okay, I see, you're busy with yours."

Chu Feng wandered to the backyard, which was a small printing yard with only two workers in it.

After asking, I found out that the original print had not been sold out, so Steward Chen directly stopped it.

Suddenly, there was a commotion at the door of the bookstore, and when Chu Feng came out, he saw Steward Li from the bookstore next door at the door.

"What's wrong?"

"The owner, this person is shameless, he is openly robbing guests at the door of our bookstore, shameless!"

Steward Chen spat at Steward Li, and Steward Li wiped his face and said loudly: "Am I breaking the law by selling my books on the street?" I haven't heard that this street belongs to your Chu family. ”

This Steward Li is indeed shameless enough, even if he pirated Chu Feng, he even openly solicited guests at the door of Mu Linsen, no wonder Steward Chen was so angry.

"You blatantly pirated my book, have you ever thought about the consequences?" Chu Feng was not annoyed, and looked at Steward Li and asked.

"What can be the consequences? I've been open for more time than you, and you still want to scare you? Hum! ”

Chu Feng smiled and didn't speak, turned around and left, and Steward Li couldn't help but be shocked in his heart.

On second thought, I'm afraid to beg! He is now on the side of Zhou Tongzhi, what can the little Chu family do!
