Chapter 50: No reward for no merit (please collect and read)
After Mr. Hu finished the toast, he stood up and left.
There was a banquet at the village, and guests came in droves. It was impossible to accompany Chen and Jin here.
In just a short period of time, as the owner of a village, he has shown his friendship as a landlord, making people feel like a spring breeze.
Of course, the feelings of the students who were kicked out of the side hall were another story.
It can be seen from this that Hu Yuanwai's regard for Chen Jin is by no means unusual.
The more he looked at it, the more he looked like he was looking for a son-in-law.
Full of wine and food.
Servants came in to take care of things and served tea and water.
Zhang Tong covered his mouth with one hand and picked his teeth with a bamboo stick in the other, with a look of satisfaction on his face.
Two people, a large table of dishes, unprecedented richness, extremely comfortable to eat.
Chen Jinhu said: "When I look at Yuan Hu, he doesn't look like a Yuanwai."
Zhang Tong was stunned and quickly realized: "It really doesn't look like it. In fact, this Zhuangzi was only established three years ago. The origins of Hu Yuanwai's family living here are quite mysterious."
Chen Jin nodded slightly: "No wonder."
At this time, a maid came in and greeted: "Mr. Chen, please come with me. My master has invited you."
She only invited Chen Jin.
Zhang Xiucai stayed in the side hall, feeling lost and tired, leaning on his chair and dozing off.
Chen Jin followed the maid, walking through corridors and courtyards, twisting and turning, and finally came to a main hall.
The layout here is elegant and antique, with several landscape paintings and calligraphy hanging on the walls, which are in good shape.
Chen Jin glanced at it and noticed that there was some literary charm hidden in the calligraphy and painting. It's just not much, it looks thin and dull.
Most of those with literary charm are from the hands of famous artists.
The so-called "wenyun", applied to the concept of spiritual practice, actually belongs to the method of "visualization and induction".
The main reason is that the author has profound skills and concentrates on it. His writings naturally contain his thoughts, which are integrated into his writings and can be manifested when others think about them.
Different rhymes have different effects.
Normally, they are used to cultivate one's mood and relax one's mind and body.
But if there are some works with weird or even ugly content, the rhyme orientation will be different.
If people see it, they will be frightened and may develop malicious intentions.
"Mr. Chen, please sit down and wait a moment. My master will be here in a moment."
The maid said, quickly served tea, snacks, etc., and then walked away.
Chen Jin's expression was relaxed, and the charm of the calligraphy and painting on the wall was something rare for ordinary people, but to him, it meant nothing.
As long as he wants to, just write a word and it will be enough to win.
His gaze fell on the screen.
The screen is very exquisite and gorgeous, with a picture carved on it:
The mountains and forests are lush, grass and flowers are in full bloom, and a green fox is sitting on a piece of bluestone like a human, as if in trance, which looks quite expressive...
At this moment, someone was hiding behind the screen and peeping.
Chen Jin raised his eyes and seemed to be able to see through and see the man.
The man was taken aback, turned around and left in a hurry.
"Mr. Chen, I didn't greet you well and kept you waiting for a long time."
There was a burst of hearty laughter, and Hu Yuanwai strode in.
Chen Jin said: "It's okay. I don't know what happened when I was asked to come here?"
He doesn't like so many pleasantries when speaking. It's boring and he just gets straight to the point. Hu Yuanwai asked: "May I ask Mr. Chen where he is going on this study tour?"
"I just go out for a walk and learn a lot. When I get here, I am ready to return to Genshui County."
"So fast?"
Chen Jin said: "I'm unhappy. Although a foreign country is good, it is not a place to stay for a long time."
Hearing this sentence, Hu Yuanwai's eyes flashed, and after a moment he said: "I wanted to ask you to stay and treat me well."
Chen Jin raised his eyebrows: "I'm just a passerby, I don't dare to disturb you."
Hu Yuanwai coughed dryly: "To be honest, I have a daughter who lacked discipline since she was a child, resulting in a naughty nature. I have always wanted to find a good teacher for her to teach her. I feel that it is suitable to meet you, Mr. Chen today." ”
"Since we are looking for a good teacher, shouldn't we ask the respected old master?"
"I can't do it, old master. Although he is mature and prudent, most of them are old-fashioned and sluggish. My daughter doesn't like that kind of serious preaching."
Chen Jin asked again: "What about the young students gathered in the village today?"
Hu Yuanwai sighed: "Everyone in the audience, some are boastful, some are frivolous, some are rigid and conservative, but no one agrees with me."
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Chen Jin smiled and said: "It seems that the requirements of outsiders are quite high. No wonder we have to hold a big banquet and invite scholars to choose from."
Hu Yuanwai explained: "I hold this Spring Flower and Autumn Flower Banquet twice a year, not just to find a good mentor for my little daughter, but also for the sake of being arty. For this reason, I even attracted criticism from the outside world, saying that my move To attract people's hearts, He is just a rich man, how can he think of that? But people are afraid of this, today's banquet will be the last time." br>
Chen Jin said: "Really? That's a pity. I just ate a steamed sea bass, which was very delicious. I'm afraid I won't be able to eat it in the future."
Hu Yuanwai looked at him: "This is easy. As long as you stay, I will ask the cook to cook for you every day."
"No reward for no merit."
"You have become my daughter's teacher, isn't that a meritorious service?"
Chen Jin refused: "I am just a student, how can I be a teacher?"
Hu Yuanwai suddenly clapped his hands.
Two healthy servants came in carrying a box, placed it in front of Chen Jin, and then opened it. The golden light shone brightly, reflecting the human eye.
Astonishingly, there was a box full of gold ingots, neatly stacked and solid.
Hu Yuanwai said loudly: "This is a repair for Mr. Hu."
Chen Jin glanced at it and still refused: "This year's college exam is coming soon, I have to go back to prepare for the exam."
Hu Yuan smiled and said: "What's so difficult about that? As long as you agree to stay, I can find someone to jointly recommend you as a scholar."
In the imperial examination system of the Qian Dynasty, in addition to the normal examinations, there were many titles, such as "Enke", "Examination of Filial Piety and Integrity", "Examination of Scholars", etc.
The latter can obtain honors without taking exams.
Of course, such quotas are rare and precious, and they will basically not fall on the heads of ordinary families. They will be assigned by the people above and divided up early.
Now Hu Yuanwai was very loud and directly promised Chen Jin one.
Under that charming smile, he could not help but reveal a bit of domineering.
Chen Jin asked: "Executive member, you just said you were just a rich man."
Hu Yuanwai blinked his eyes: "Because he is a rich man, he has a wide range of contacts. Don't you believe it?"
Chen Jin said: "I believe it, but I can't agree."
Hu Yuanwai was startled, then clapped his hands and praised: "Gold cannot move his heart, and fame cannot move his ambition. Tsk tsk, I feel more and more that you are the most suitable person to be my little girl's teacher. Well, Mr. Chen, you might as well stay here tonight , can you make a decision after meeting your daughter?”
He bowed his hands in salute and used a pleading tone.
Chen Jin pondered for a moment: "Okay."
After twelve o'clock, it will be the new book list for the last week. I wonder if I can get a good ranking and earn some traffic.
It’s a new month again, no matter what, I have to ask for a monthly pass.
Thank you!
