Chapter 5 Chen Chang'an
Yong'an City, Chen's firm.
After Dumb came to Yong'an City with the caravan, he temporarily lived in the caravan owner's shop as a buddy.
There is no way to do it, Dumb has never left the village, and he is full of curiosity about the outside world.
It's just that he doesn't know the world, he doesn't know much about the world, and the caravan owner is afraid that he will be easily deceived when he is alone.
In these years, it is too rare to see a simple child like Dumb, if he is really allowed to go out alone, I am afraid that he will be sold and still count the money for others.
Because of what happened in the early morning, the whole caravan had to set off early, and finally rushed back to Yong'an City near noon.
The caravan owner told everyone to go back to rest, and ordered someone to make room for Dumb to stay.
After dinner, the caravan owner called Dumb over.
"Dumb, I know that you came out alone, and you will temporarily live in the trading house in the future, and I will give you five taels of silver every month, which should be enough for you. ”
The boss of the trading house looked at Dumb and said with a kind face.
"Well, okay. ”
Dumb still looked unhurried, and said lightly.
"Let me introduce myself first, my surname is Chen, and my single name is a single character, and you can call me Uncle Chen in the future. ”
"Okay, Chen... Uncle Chen"
Dumb is still a little uncomfortable.
"Well, okay, dumb, you can be a buddy in the store for the time being, and learn more from others how to communicate with others. Also, in the early hours of this morning, I think you should have a foundation in cultivation, right?" Chen Li asked casually.
"Practice, what is practice?" Dumb was a little confused.
"The so-called practice, cultivator, study also. Refers to the process from ignorance to cognition. As the name suggests, spiritual practice refers to the process of learning and exploring to recognize and ultimately understand the essence of the world......"
Chen Li saw that Dumb didn't seem to know anything about cultivation, but he obviously had some foundation for cultivation, and the secret path might be some special reason that caused him not to remember the past, so he began to explain to him what cultivation was.
Dumb listened a little bit as if he didn't understand.
Afterwards, Chen Li continued: "I see that you have some cultivation foundation, so I plan to let you participate in the enrollment assessment of Jinyang Academy in half a year. ”
"What does the academy do?"
"The academy is a place dedicated to teaching people to learn and practice, and when you get there, you can practice like everyone else, and besides, it's not a place where anyone can enter, it depends on whether you have talent or not. ”
Chen Li patiently explained.
"This Jinyang Academy is the top cultivation holy place in my Jinyang Country, I don't know how many people want to enter and practice every year, you must seize the opportunity when the time comes!"
seemed to be a little worried that Dumb wouldn't take this matter to heart, so he specially admonished him.
"Okay, Chen... Uncle Chen. Dumb nodded yes.
"Dumb, you are going to enter the academy to practice in the future, so you have to change your name, otherwise everyone else will call you dumb, how ugly it is!"
After a pause, Chen Li continued: "It's better to be like this, you will follow my surname Chen in the future, as for the name, do you have any favorites?"
"Chen... Dumb?"
Poof!
Chen Li, who was drinking tea, was amused by Dumb's answer, and the tea was everywhere, so he quickly stood up and wiped off the water stains on his body.
"Dumb, you're just too simple, that's it, since you don't have a favorite name, then uncle will name you. ”
Dumb also felt very innocent, he really didn't know what to call it.
"Hmm...... The capital of my Jinyang Kingdom is Chang'an, so it's better for you to call Chen Chang'an in the future!"
Chen Li thought about it carefully, he has been in business all his life, and his knowledge is not high, so there is no good way to name it, and after thinking about it, he thought of Chang'an City, the capital of Jinyang, which made his eyes shine.
In this way, Dumb's new name was finally determined - Chen Chang'an!
-------------------------------------------------
"Chang'an, come over and help!" another guy shouted.
"It's coming!" Chen Changan hurriedly ran over.
Chen Changan has been coming to Chen's firm for four or five months, and now he has basically learned to communicate with people, although sometimes he still does things carelessly, but he will not make too many mistakes.
On this day, the boss Chen Li called Chen Changan to the front.
"Chang'an, you have been in the trading house for a few months, and now almost everything that can be handed over to you is handed over to you. ”
"Thanks to Uncle Chen's kindness, Chang'an can't repay it. ”
Chen Changan really felt that his uncle Chen Li was really good to him, from the beginning he took him in, taught him to be a man and do things, and asked him to go to the academy to learn skills, these Chen Changan has always kept in mind.
"Chang'an, now that the day of enrollment of Jinyang College is getting closer and closer, you can put aside the work in the commercial bank first, it is still far from the national capital, so I want you to leave early!"
Chen Li looked at Chen Changan with a smile, since this little boy came to the firm, the changes every day are visible to the naked eye, and the things taught to him are learned quickly, which also saves him a lot of worry.
I called him this time because I wanted him to leave early, so as not to delay the time.
Immediately, Chen Li took out a map, which recorded all the cities of Jinyang Kingdom, and marked Yong'an City and Chang'an City, the capital of Jinyang Kingdom.
"Chang'an, you put away this map, so as not to get lost on the road. There is also a coil for you, you can clean up yourself and set off tomorrow. ”
As he spoke, Chen Li took out some more silver tickets and handed them to Chen Changan.
Chen Changan took the silver ticket and map handed over by Chen Li, bowed deeply, didn't say anything, and turned around and left the room.
Chen Changan, who returned to his room, was looking at the silver ticket and the map in a daze.
Looking back on his experience in the business bank in the past few months, Chen Changan has a feeling of being in a different world.
The boss Chen Li can be said to take care of him, Chen Changan feels in his heart that Uncle Chen is a good person, and now that the day of enrollment of Jinyang College is getting closer and closer, it is indeed time for him to prepare to go.
At night, Chen Changan packed some simple change of clothes, brought silver tickets and maps, and left alone without saying hello to others.
On the table in the room, only a letter remained.
Outside Yong'an City, Chen Changan turned his head and looked at the city where he had only lived for a few months, and finally he still had a trace of reluctance and concern.
