36. Visit Xuezheng (one change)
Instead of taking the big road, he chose to take the mountain road as much as possible, so that he could run fast when no one was looking. If you take the main road to the county seat for thirty miles, it is too slow to walk normally.
A year ago, Wu Wu went to the county seat with Master once. On mountain roads, as long as you detect no one nearby, you will run with your luck, and when there are people, you will walk slowly. In less than an hour, worry-free was already approaching the county seat.
Sanssouci changed into newly bought clothes in the woods and put on a scribe's hat to cover his bald head. As soon as he changed his dress, he immediately became a scholar, and if he grew up a little more, he would be more like a scholar.
After entering the city, it was easy to find the county school according to the guidance of passers-by.
Standing under the big plaque of "Qiyang County School", worry-free one foot has already stepped into the door, and the probe looks into the school.
"Which scholar are you? If you want to find your son or lady, you must pass through the communication. A thin old man with a mouse whisker came out of the door and asked in an old-fashioned manner.
Worry-free hurriedly said: "I'm not looking for a son or a young lady. ”
The old man's attitude immediately deteriorated, and he rolled his eyes: "Then what are you here to see?
"I'm not here to see the excitement, I'm here to find someone. "Stand still, steady as Mount Tai, just rely on the old man's old bones to push him in the slightest.
"Didn't you say you wouldn't be looking for someone, why did you say you were looking for someone?" asked the old man.
Carefree is a little angry with this snobbish old man, but he doesn't want to offend him, after all, he still wants to pass it on. He said patiently: "I'm looking for Master Xuezheng!"
"What? are you looking for Master Chen?" the old man was startled, this kid was not badly dressed, the old man was afraid that there would be no big deal about worry-free, but he didn't dare to use it. The old man asked, "Who are you from Master Chen, and what is the matter with him?"
Wu Wu felt that if he was Master Chen's junior brother, the old man would spray him to death on the spot, and this hairy boy would definitely be talking crazy. Wu Wu didn't want to mention Master's name in front of outsiders, after all, Master Chen was demoted here mainly because Master disappeared for no reason.
Wu Wu said: "I was sent to him by an old man of Lord Chen, and I have something to tell you face to face. ”
"Report the name of Lord Chen's deceased!" The old man's request was also reasonable, after all, he was going to Lord Chen to spread the word, and Lord Chen would definitely ask.
Wuwu took out a handful of copper coins, about a dozen of them, and stuffed them into the old man's hand. The old man is usually used to collecting money, although compared with the sons and ladies of those big families, he doesn't give much worry-free, but he still smiled with his eyebrows open, and ran to pass it on without saying a word.
Wu Wu usually heard from the master about a lot of things in terms of love and sophistication, and he also saw some of them when he went to a big family, so when he saw the old man's bad attitude, he knew that he was making money. Anyway, it wasn't bad, so I sent him a few small dollars.
It didn't take long for the old man to come back with a depressed face, and he glared at him: "Chen Da said, recently Tianlong Academy is going to recruit in this museum, and all those who come to intercede must be blocked out of the gate." Let's go!" It seems that this old man must have been reprimanded by Lord Chen, after all, he didn't even report the name of the deceased, and it was inevitable that he would be scolded.
No worries had to retreat outside the gate. The old man stood inside the door and stared at him with an unkind expression. Wu Wu really came to Chen Shaoshan for the recruitment of Tianlong Academy this time, although he just wanted to inquire about the date of recruitment, but Chen Shaoshan let it go, and if he asked him again, it was inevitable that he would think that he was pulling the relationship.
To be honest, Wuwu is already a little unhappy with this Chen Shaoshan. has been demoted to an eight-grade sesame official, the shelf is still so big, even if you don't meet him, his temper is still so big.
Wuwu is also a person with backbone, he thinks that it doesn't matter if Chen Shaoshan is gone, it's a big deal to ask Kuang County Ling directly.
Wuwu also wants to give it a try, this Chen Shaoshan was one of the master's protégés back then, I don't know if he still remembers the master after the master's disappearance over the years.
Seeing that Wuwu didn't mean to leave, the old man was about to open his mouth to curse, but Wuwu waved his hand at him and said, "You listen to me first! I have a few words, and the old man only needs to help pass them on to Chen Da." And I won't treat you badly, this bit of silver is my father-in-law's compensation for being scolded for me. Carefree handed the old man a small piece of broken silver, about half a tael.
When the old man saw the silver, his eyes lit up, and a smile instantly appeared on his face. Besides, Master Chen is a scholar, even if he scolds people, he is not scolded, and he has not been scolded by him, and it is worth it to be scolded by him a few words with these rewards.
The old man asked hesitantly, "What do you want me to bring to Master Chen?"
"Bring pen and paper, and I'll write it to you. Carefree replied.
"Come with me to the porter and write. The old man took Sanssouci into the porter inside and prepared a pen and paper for Sanssouc.
Master once told Wuwu that when Chen Shaoshan was young, Master said this when he showed him palmistry: "In his early years, there was no dryness or sorrow, and he lived with others as a child. There is a noble in the school pattern, and the middle-aged rich do not have to worry. Carefree put these words down on paper.
Wuwu felt that he had to damage Chen Shaoshan's ugly temper again in order to relieve the anger in his heart: "The official is degraded, but the temper is big, does Shien remember it?" and then signed "Wuwu" and handed it to the old man.
Chen Shaoshan lost his father at a young age, depended on his mother for his life, and although he lived poorly, he was at ease. After remarrying with his mother, his life was not as free as before, and he gave up his studies to herd ducks under the pressure of his stepfather. The master saw that Chen Shaoshan was writing well on the stones by the river, so he stepped forward to talk to him. Later, looking at his palmistry, a vertical line was split from top to bottom in the middle of the horizontal stripe on the palm, which was the over-the-top pattern, which inferred about his remarriage with his mother.
The master also saw that Chen Shaoshan had a beautiful school pattern on his palm, and speculated that he was versatile, tenacious, elegant and noble, and had a strong ability to deal with things. And it is speculated that his fate will be able to get ahead when he is young, and he will be even richer and nobler in middle age, and he will be in a high position.
The master remembered that he was a filial son and a malleable material, and gave him a chance to change his life. Chen Shaoshan has been on the rise since then, so the master is a grace and reinvention for him.
The old man accepted the money, but he had a very trustworthy expression, and promised: "Little brother, don't worry, I will definitely help you pass on the word to Master Chen." But after speaking, he stood still, and did not mean to speak immediately. Wuwu knew that this old man was scolded and scared by Chen Da, and he didn't dare to provoke Chen again for a while.
Old man Yu added: "When Master Chen goes out and passes by here, I will help you pass it to him, and it will definitely arrive, you can rest assured." ”
This was handed over to Chen Shaoshan in the end, and he didn't care much about worry-free. If it can be handed over to Chen Shaoshan in the end, it would be good to touch his memories of the past. Carefree turned around and left the school.
