Chapter 76 Shujiang Escort
"Uncle Mingzhen, can you teach us some Shaolin martial arts?" Fan Yu interrupted.
"This... cannot do it." Mingzhen shook her head.
"So stingy!" Hu Qiudi snorted.
Mingzhen felt a little ashamed.
"You guys have a good meal for me and don't talk anymore." Xue Chang's voice came, and the children suddenly became quiet.
"Senior Brother Mingzhen, the children are rude, don't be surprised." Xue Chang had apologetic on his face, but he felt interesting in his heart.
"The child is straightforward, so what's the blame?" As soon as Ming Zhen finished speaking, he heard the two girls opposite him muttering in a low voice: "It doesn't look much older than us, and he speaks so old."
"My brother speaks like this now."
"That's different, because he is the master."
...
Mingzhen scratched her head awkwardly.
Xue Chang wanted to interrupt his apprentices' whispers, but suddenly remembered something and asked, "Uncle Huiming, is there any Nine Yang Divine Art in Shaolin Temple?"
"Nine Yang Divine Art?" Huiming was confused: "I haven't heard of it."
"Where is the Dragon Elephant Prajna Prajna Prajna?"
"I haven't heard of it."
"Where is Xiao Wuxianggong?" Xue Chang said that he was wrong: In my memory, this seemed to be the martial arts learned by Jiumozhi of the Western Regions, and had nothing to do with Shaolin Temple.
Sure enough, Huiming shook his head.
"Where are the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms?" Xue Chang mentioned it because he had seen someone posting a post in a martial arts forum online that said: The Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms are not the Beggar Gang Kung Fu, but are owned by Shaolin Temple, because Qiao Feng grew up in Shaolin Temple and learned a lot of Shaolin martial arts. The Dragon Subduing Tiger is a special term in Buddhism. It can be seen that the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms are from Shaolin.
Before Huiming responded, Fan Yu said loudly: "Master, I know that the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms in the story you told were from--"
"Speak less and have a good meal!" Xue Chang immediately rebuked.
"There is no such palm technique in Shaolin Temple." Huiming asked with some confusion: "Where did Nephew Xue hear it?"
"Uh..." Xue Chang laughed dryly, glared at Fan Yu who wanted to interrupt, and said perfunctorily: "I once heard stories about scholars telling stories about heroes in the world in the teahouse. I talked about these magical martial arts in Shaolin Temple, but I thought it was true."
Hui smiled clearly: "Those storytellers are accustomed to making a big splash, and they cannot believe it."
"That's it." Xue Chang responded, feeling relieved. The reason why he asked this was that Shaolin Temple was very nervous about his secret skills and was worried that he would practice the martial arts of Shaolin Temple in the system in the future. If he was discovered by Shaolin Temple in the future, he thought he was learning secretly and wanted to settle the score with him, that would be miserable.
Now it has been clear that these martial arts masters from martial arts novels do not exist in the current world. After he has enough prestige, he can practice boldly. At the same time, he also has a question in his mind: Are other martial arts in the system mall not present in reality?
After everyone finished breakfast, Xue Chang said to his apprentices: "I'm going to hire a private school teacher for you to teach you how to read and read classics - Xiao Mastiff. What's your expression?"
"Master, we don't have enough time to practice martial arts now. What books are you reading? Reading is not helpful to us in practicing martial arts." Fan Yu said disapprovingly.
"Idiot!" Xue Chang cursed: "Why is reading useless for practicing martial arts! In the future, you will get a martial arts secret book and don't know the words, how can you learn it! Moreover, reading will make you smarter and better understand the essence of martial arts! Not to mention that reading will make you understand many principles, and will not make you a reckless man who only knows how to fight and kill! Do you understand?"
"Oh." Fan Yai responded reluctantly.
Huiming said with great praise: "Children, your master treats you sincerely and wants to hire a teacher for you! Reading makes people wise and reasonable, which is absolutely true! In our Shaolin Temple, all the monks who are entering the school must first read Buddhist scriptures and memorize Buddhist scriptures before they can start to teach martial arts. Shaolin monks who are truly skilled in martial arts are all great monks with extensive knowledge."
"In our Arhat Hall, no matter how old or how high his martial arts are, we must copy a Buddhist scripture every month." Ming Zhen interrupted.
The words of the two greatly touched Fan Yu and the others, and their psychological resistance was greatly reduced.
Xue Chang examined his thoughtful apprentices: Xu Xi was born in a wealthy family, but unfortunately, due to family changes, he lived on the streets at a young age and rarely read. Fan Yu grew up in the mountains and fields and had never studied and was illiterate. Xue Wu and Fan Yu had similar backgrounds, and they were also ignorant. Hu Qiudi could write and calculate, otherwise he would not be able to be a shopkeeper in the Jinya Restaurant Store. However, he had talked about Geng Po that this little girl had never liked to study since she was a child. If Geng Po, who had not served as a second-rank military officer in the court, forced him to study, he would probably not be much better now...
Finally, Xue Chang's eyes fell on Xue Yuting: Among the few apprentices, the younger sister is indeed the most knowledgeable, and this is also thanks to the original owner's father. Although he did not let his daughter learn martial arts, he hoped to train his daughter to be a lady who is both knowledgeable and knowledgeable and can handle housework. Therefore, he also hired a teacher and taught her for a while.
"Bo Xue has asked someone to find a teacher who is willing to come here to teach. During the time when the teacher has not been invited, the younger sister--" Xue Chang paused and said aloud: "You will teach them to read and read for the time being."
"Ah, I, I can't! I can't!..." Xue Yuting was surprised, especially when everyone's eyes were focused on her, she felt even more panicked, her hands kept swaying like flying wheels.
"That's it!" Xue Chang said unavoidably. As a teacher, he knew very well that it would be more effective to force a child like Xue Yuting, who is introverted and shy, patiently persuading him to the front desk: "Qiu Di, you assist Yuting. Starting today, I will teach them to learn words and literature during the day, and I will be responsible for checking at night. Whoever does not learn well and performs the worst will be punished heavily. Do you understand?!"
"I understand, Master." The disciples' response was quite powerful.
Xue Yuting wanted to speak but stopped several times, but she didn't have the courage to say it, and she tightened the corners of her clothes nervously.
"Junior sister, don't worry, I'm here. If anyone dares to disobey, I'll teach him a lesson for you!" Hu Qiudi patted Xue Yuting's shoulder and cheered her up.
Xue Yuting reluctantly smiled to express her gratitude.
Although he had been together for only two or three days, Xue Chang, who was the only child in his previous life, has begun to accept the reality of "I have a sister". This time, he forced Xue Yuting to come out to accept the task, which is a realistic need on the one hand, and on the other hand, he also hopes to use this to change Xue Yuting's character and make her future development smoother.
After completing this, Xue Chang looked at his fifth apprentice again: "Xiao Wu, this morning, you can go to Jinhefang Market and buy some things for me-"
"Young master, my feet are much better." Xue Fu interrupted, "I'll go. You have to buy so many things, so Xiaowu can't remember them all, and he is illiterate. In addition, there are a few things that are not sold on the market, and you have to find an acquaintance. How could he know them?"
Xue Chang thought about it and felt it was reasonable, so she said to Xue Fu: "Then... let Xiaowu accompany you. You hire a carriage and take the carriage directly and take the car back so that I won't worry about your foot injury."
"Thank you for your concern, Master." Xue Fu said gratefully.
"But I'm still a little worried!" Xue Chang thought of something and said loudly with concern: "The day before yesterday, when you went out, you were secretly murdered by the people from the Sihai Escort Agency, which injured your feet. When you go out today, will they take revenge on you again because of yesterday's failure? Unfortunately, I have important things to do today and can't accompany you, otherwise... you don't go to Jinhe Market today, and wait until I have free time before-"
"It's better to let Mingzhen accompany Butler Xue, I believe no one dares to make trouble." Huiming said.
Xue Chang's goal was achieved, and he pretended to be humble and said, "How dare you work with Senior Brother's big boss?"
"Junior brother, it's okay." Mingzhen said seriously: "I've been staying in the courtyard of the Xunwusi during this period. I'm almost sick and just going out for a walk."
Huiming stood up and said, "I went back to my room to copy Buddhist scriptures. If you need it, please call me."
"Thank you, uncle and senior brother!" Xue Chang bowed to the two of them with gratitude. After delivering them to the two of them, he turned around and walked into the kitchen and said to Zhang who was busy: "Auntie, you have time today, so go and hire a few mothers and maids."
While washing dishes, Zhang shook his head and said, "There are not much work at home now, and you have your apprentices to help you. I'm so busy that I don't have to spend money to hire someone."
"Auntie, now my family is rich, and I will open a store to make money next time. You don't have to worry about money anymore." Xue Chang patiently persuaded: "Now there are eight people in the family, and friends come to you from time to time. Most of the housework is handled by you alone. How can you not be tired? I am also planning to revive the escort agency. In the future, there will only be more people in the family. If you are exhausted, who will take care of this family? My father will know below and blame me even more! Besides, you are recruiting people now and have time to teach and cultivate slowly. When there are more people in this yard in the future, you will have the capable staff to help you manage your affairs. Do you think?"
"Okay, Chang'er, I'll listen to you. When the kitchen is done, I'll go and hire someone." Zhang was convinced.
Xue Chang looked down at Tuotuo, who was lying at Zhang's feet and fighting against the bones, and gently kicked the bone away.
Tuotuo immediately rushed over, grabbed the bones firmly with both front paws, and even let out a "whistle" at Xue Chang to show dissatisfaction.
"Little guy grow up quickly, I'm still looking forward to your guard house." Xue Chang stretched out his feet and kicked it gently, muttering with a smile.
"Chang'er, wait a minute." Zhang called out Xue Chang, who was about to go out, put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hand, wiped them clean on the apron with both hands, walked to Xuechang, and carefully sorted out his hair and clothes. After a while, she looked at it and said, "Okay."
"Thank you, aunt!" Zhang looked at Xue Chang's back as he left, showed a kind smile, and murmured to himself: "I have really grown up and can be the head of the family!"
Xue Chang found Xu Xi, gave a few more instructions, and then left.
The Shujiang Escort Agency is at the east end of Jinhebei Street. The original owner was a regular visitor here before, so the concierge did not stop him at all and he respectfully said hello to Xue Chang.
As soon as he walked into the yard, Yin Bin, who received the news, came over.
"Achang, you're late. The stadiumers have gathered in the martial arts training ground long ago, waiting to earn your money." Yin Bin said half-jokingly and half-seriously.
"Is uncle at home?"
“In the hall.”
"I'll go and say hello to him first."
Xue Chang entered the hall of the Shujiang Escort Agency. There was only a middle-aged man in the hall. He was thin but smart and capable.
"Uncle Yin!" Xue Chang walked forward, bent down respectfully and bowed respectfully.
"Xiao Chang is here!" Yin Dezai walked forward, grabbed Xue Chang's arms, looked at them with excitement, and then sighed, "Oh! I heard that your family was in trouble. I have not had a good meal and couldn't sleep well in the past few months... I heard that you came back alive a few days ago, but I was so happy! I had long wanted to go to see you, but when I thought that you had just returned, there must be a lot of things to do, so I didn't bother you for the time being. I heard Bin'er say the day before yesterday that the old guy from the Sihai Escort Agency was going to cause trouble for you, and I specially sent Wang Jingwu, Liu Tiejun and others to help, for fear that you would be bullied.
I heard that you were going to find a escort to train, so I quickly asked them to prepare. After noon, you will be having dinner here. Your aunt has been talking about it for several days, so she wants to have a good look at you and specially prepared a family dinner. Then our uncle and nephew will have a good gathering-"
"Dad, they are all waiting, let's talk about it later." Yin Bin reminded impatiently.
Yin Dezai glared at him, then said to Xue Chang with a kind face: "Go and do your business first, but be careful and don't be hurt! Bin'er, tell the bodyguards to take action lighter. If you hurt Xiao Chang, I will never finish it with them!"
"I understand." Yin Bin replied lightly.
"Thank you Uncle Yin!" Xue Chang looked grateful, but he knew very well that the chief escort of the Shujiang Escort Agency, who had been with the original owner's father for decades, did not care as much about him as he did.
Xue Fu told him, "When the Jincheng Escort Bureau was in trouble before, he asked Yin Dezai for help, but he was rejected by him." In the IOU returned by the Sihai Escort Bureau yesterday, Xue Chang also found that the original owner's father wrote an IOU to the Shujiang Escort Bureau. Although there were not many, only three hundred taels, it can be seen that Yin Dezai is a realistic snobbish person. The Jincheng Escort Bureau collapsed, and his years of friendship with Xue Hai disappeared in a blink of an eye. He also surrendered to the Sihai Escort Bureau and transferred the IOU to Lin Lei.
As for the fact that he said that he sent Wang Jingwu and others to help yesterday, it was fake. Last night, when Xue Chang and Yin Bin and Wang Xuan and the others were having dinner, Yin Bin was drunk and revealed, "He didn't tell his father about this matter at all, but privately used his years of friendship to invite Wang Jingwu and the others."
So Xue Chang was very clear in his heart. He recognized Yin Bin as his brother, but he did not intend to recognize Yin Dezai, the snobbish uncle. If it weren't for the fact that he needed to find someone to accompany him at the Shujiang Escort Agency this time and needed to get Yin Dezai's recognition, he wouldn't have come to say hello.
