"It turned out to be Master Hu, who are you?"

Chen Tang arched his hand, looking puzzled.

Master Hu got out of the donkey cart and said with a smile: "Chen Xiucai, I went to the village to look for you, and the clan elder said that you had entered the city, so he hurriedly took the car to chase you." ”

After a pause, he said: "Hu has a reluctant request. ”

"Speak. ”

Chen Tang wanted to say: Since it is "reluctant to invite", then don't invite it......

Master Hu coughed dryly: "I want to invite you to the village and serve as a teacher again." ”

Chen Tang smiled dryly: "Master Hu, I can't hide it, I have to prepare for this year's exam, the time is urgent, I'm afraid there is no way to do anything else." ”

Master Hu seemed to have expected him to say this, and immediately said: "Ten days, you only need to teach for ten days, and you will pay a hundred yuan a day." ”

This price code is very high.

Chen Tang looked at him: "Master Hu, I don't know something. ”

"Please. ”

"Why are you looking for me? With such a generous salary, if you go out, the people who come to apply for the job will break your head. Don't talk about showing talent, I'm afraid even lifting people will be moved. ”

Chen Tang asked strangely.

Master Hu sighed: "Here's the thing, last night, Hu went back with your calligraphy, paintings and articles, and I didn't regret reading it with Xi'er, I was very happy, and I must come to you to go back." I couldn't resist them, so I had to pull down this old face and invite them. ”

This reason barely makes sense.

It's just that Chen Tang has doubts in his heart, and he has more than 3,000 money on hand, so he doesn't have to worry about his livelihood, how can he easily agree to be a teacher again?

Then he said: "Thanks to the favor of my daughter, but this year's examination is too important to me, and I have no time to be distracted, so this teacher, Chen really can't do it, please ask Master Hu to invite another master." ”

As he spoke, he made a salute, turned around with his book on his back, and went to the city.

"Chen Xiucai ......"

Master Hu shouted unwillingly in the back, but he couldn't respond, so he had to stop, his face changed slightly, and he was uncertain.

The man who drove the car said in a low voice: "Master, if I don't make a move, I will directly catch this little white face in the car and send it to the young lady." ”

"Shut up!"

Master Hu shouted: "Hugh Hu, if you surprise the nobles, you will die and will not be redeemed." ”

The man was stunned, his neck shrunk, and he didn't dare to speak.

Looking at the back of Chen Tang who was walking away, Master Hu sighed, not knowing what he was thinking in his heart.

......

said that Chen Tang entered Panzhou Mansion without looking back, walking all the way, thinking about Master Hu in his heart.

The two got along with each other at close proximity just now, and the sword box in the book was silent, which was enough to show that Master Hu was by no means an evil - for many years, Master Hu had treated people and things, spoke and acted freely, and behaved normally, so it could not have been an evil spirit.

So, are you really thinking too much?

Back at home on Hanmo Street, Su Ling was practicing calligraphy in the room, and when she heard the sound, she hurriedly greeted her, her face full of joy.

"Brother Bujin, are you hungry, I'll cook a bowl of noodles for you to eat. ”

Chen Tang waved his hand, and said roughly that he had won the head of the Wenhui and won a large amount of money, as well as the killing of pigs and sheep in the village, and the celebration for him.

Su Ling listened, his eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands and praised: "Brother Bujin, you are too powerful." ”

Chen Tang said: "Ah Ling, have you been lazy at home these days?"

Su Ling immediately said: "No, I practice calligraphy every day." ”

As she spoke, she entered the room and took out a stack of papers, all of which she had written. The font is upright, with a bit of beauty.

Chen Tang read it and nodded again and again: "It's a good writing, it's progressive." ”

Su Ling suddenly laughed so much that his eyes were bent into two crescents.

The next day, just after breakfast, a guest came to visit, it was Zhao Sanye. He sat down and looked at Chen Tang with a strange look on his face.

Chen Tang asked, "Third Master, who are you?"

For a moment, he thought that the incident that night had happened to Yan Zhihai.

I heard Zhao Sanye say: "Yesterday, Master Hu came to me. ”

Chen Tang sighed and asked casually, "What is he looking for you for?"

"Inquire about you. ”

"Huh?"

Chen Tang suddenly became calm: "Didn't you say that you are not familiar with Master Hu?"

Zhao Sanye nodded: "It's really not familiar, last year, I visited Hujiazhuang, and I wanted to talk to Master Hu and exchange martial arts experience, but he pushed back and didn't fight me." After a few words, he sent me away. ”

Chen Tang asked, "Master Hu's martial arts are very high?"

Zhao Sanye said: "I can't see through it, I can't see any clues, it should be the realm of the inner family." ”

"And then?"

Chen Tang asked.

Zhao Sanye spread his hands: "No more, and then yesterday, he actually took the initiative to find me." I don't know where he found out that you sold me two letters, so he asked, I wondered, did he want to buy words from you too?"

Chen Tang replied: "He wants me to go to the village to be a teacher again, saying a hundred yuan a day." ”

Zhao Sanye: "This price is very high." ”

"I didn't say yes, I'm not short of money now, and I think it's a bit weird. ”

Zhao Sanye smiled: "I remember that you once worked as a tutor in Hujiazhuang for half a month, was it strange at that time?"

"That's not ......"

Chen Tang thought for a moment and replied.

In the half month that I was in Hujiazhuang, except for being full of Hu Buxi's pranks, there was really no strange encounter.

Zhao Sanye asked: "Does it have anything to do with the martial arts practiced by Master Hu...... But no, you're a tutor for his daughter, not a tutor for him. ”

"Isn't it?"

Chen Tang said: "Anyway, I thought it was weird, and I was going to prepare to take the test, so I rejected him." ”

Zhao Sanye nodded: "This is your business, just make your own decision." ”

Chen Tang changed the topic and said: "That night, Lao Zhang sent me back to the village, and asked the third master to help me thank him." ”

"Lao Zhang, a few days ago he said that he was old and not good at running around and working hard, so he no longer worked as a coachman with me and went back to the countryside to retire. ”

Chen Tang said "oh", thinking that Lao Zhang might have been really frightened, so he simply washed his hands in a golden basin - with his status in the rivers and lakes, he could not be called a golden basin, at most he washed his hands in a mud bowl, retired to the countryside, and went to farm.

Then he asked, "What happened to the evil thing?"

Zhao Sanye shook his head: "Later, there was no movement, and the academy tossed for three days, and it was quiet." That Yan Zhihai resigned as the dean, I don't know whether to hide in the Yan family to recuperate, or go somewhere else, anyway, there is no news. Hey, this kind of thing is already mysterious and mysterious, it's not easy to figure out, it's okay, everyone can rest assured. ”

Chen Tang's heart was bright: That Yan Zhihai obviously went out of the city to avoid disaster, but he died in the woods of the ferry, and there was no scum left, and if the Yan family wanted to learn about the death, it was estimated that it would take a long time.

Even if he knew that something had happened to Yan Zhihai, there was no way to find out.

There is no need to pay attention to this matter.

After saying a few more words, Zhao Sanye said goodbye and left.

Chen Tang stayed at home to read and write, and to review his homework. At noon, another guest came, and when he opened the door, Chen Tang felt a headache:

"Chen Xiucai, let's meet again, it's really fate!"
