"Well played!"
Officer Huangfu had a smile on his face. If others had seen him, they would never have guessed that he was talking about his daughter - this old fox had the naive demeanor of an old naughty boy.
Chen Jianchen had a very good impression of Huangfu Yuan. Even if he found out that the other party was an old vixen, he didn't feel anything was wrong and they got along with him as usual.
In the world, people's hearts are like ghosts, and evil people are like hemp. In comparison, they are far more dangerous and more harmful to people than monsters. And the so-called people and the so-called monsters are not the only criteria for distinguishing good from evil. But before, there was He Yingning, Xiao
Chen Jianchen was able to act more naturally and calmly regarding the views and concepts of Huangfu's father and daughter.
Huangfu was stroking his beard and suddenly said: "Liu Xian, it's just that my little girl is naughty. If you beat her today, I'm afraid she will be dissatisfied and rebellious. Is there any way to solve it?"
He originally thought that if he directly revealed the truth, his daughter would have thoughts of revenge, but then he thought, if he revealed the truth, he would not be able to conceal the parentage of his father and daughter. If Chen Jianchen knew the truth, I am afraid that no matter how open-minded he is, he would be frightened and leave immediately.
.After all, secular concepts are deeply ingrained. Humans are human beings and demons are demons. They are clearly differentiated. Even if you read all the books of sages, it will be in vain. It is difficult to smooth out the cracks here.
Chen Jianchen said: "It doesn't matter, Miss Huangfu will definitely be resistant at the beginning, but as long as it is handled properly, Xiaosheng is confident that he can be a good master."
Now that you have agreed and taken up the job, you must live up to the trust of others - this has always been one of Chen Jianchen's major principles in doing things.
The imperial officer stood up and bowed, bowing and saying: "If Liu Xian can train the little girl well, I will definitely repay you with my body broken to pieces." There were tears in his eyes, which showed that his daughter occupied a very important position in his heart.
People are sentimental, how can monsters be ruthless?
Chen Jianchen hurriedly returned the courtesy and said: "You are too harsh in your remarks. This is just my duty."
Huangfu suddenly said, "Wait a moment, Liu Xian. I have a gift for you. Let's talk about my feelings." After saying that, he turned back into the inner hall and walked out after a while, holding a scroll in his hand.
This scroll is about two feet long and more than a foot wide. The main body is made of unknown wood. It is completely tender red and has a soft luster. From a distance, it gives people a very comfortable look. Damn.
When you get closer, a vague fragrance floats into your nose. When you smell it, your spirit is lifted and it is very refreshing.
This is……
Chen Jianchen was a little unsure.
The imperial officer put the book cover on the table and said: "This object is made of blood sandalwood from overseas. It is immune to insects, water and fire, and is not damaged by swords. It can also naturally emit a scent of blood sandalwood."
Fragrance can refresh the mind, and it can be regarded as a treasure. It is just old and useless, so it can be given to Liuxian. There is a saying that swords are given to heroes, and beautiful jade is given to beauties, but this book and scroll should be given to Liuxian the most.
A scholar who is courageous, responsible and understands justice."
Invincible to insects, invulnerable to fire and water, invulnerable to swords...
This sounds like he has a lot of background and looks very powerful. Chen Jianchen doesn't think that Huangfu Yuanwai can lie. Without it, he is an old vixen who has been practicing for hundreds of years. He has a high level of cultivation and a huge family fortune. What he gives away
How could it be trash? Although he didn't know what kind of wood the blood sandalwood was, just looking at the scroll was enough to understand that the value of this wood was far greater than gold.
Wood is more valuable than gold.
"Except for seniors, this gift is too heavy, and I don't dare to ask for it!"
The imperial officer smiled and said: "The so-called 'no merit will not be rewarded', but Liuxian is not the case. Your willingness to serve as the little female master is a great achievement for me. As the saying goes, 'Given by the elders,
"You can't say no, you don't need to say anything more about Liu Xian, just accept it."
Chen Jianchen showed a wry smile and suddenly said: "To be honest, I like this thing as soon as I see it. However, I am an ordinary scholar. If I carry such a precious treasure when I go out, I am afraid that there will be no way for misfortunes and blessings, but I will bring it on myself."
Otherwise, it will lead to death."
As the saying goes, "money should not be revealed." If Chen Jianchen was carrying such a bloody sandalwood book basket everywhere, he would be really impatient, and it would easily provoke other people to have evil thoughts, and make people have the idea of killing people and stealing goods.
In the past, Wang Fu once gave Chen Jianchen a valuable red sandalwood scroll. The scroll was exquisitely crafted and worth a lot of money, but compared with the blood sandalwood scroll in front of him, it was nothing more than rubble. Rosewood
A scroll can make people jealous and tempted at most, but this blood sandalwood scroll can directly make people take action.
Therefore, Chen Jianchen dared to carry the red sandalwood bamboo basket when traveling, but he did not dare to carry the blood sandalwood bamboo basket. It was a pity that when he killed the black-shirted guard that day, the red sandalwood bamboo basket was damaged. Although it was later repaired,
There are always cracks and defects - this scroll has been fetched by the Huangfu family's servants from the Suzhou Chengfu Inn and placed in the east chamber.
Hearing this, the imperial officer was startled, and looked at Chen Jianchen with more admiration: Facing the treasure without being moved, he could calmly think carefully, which is definitely not something ordinary people can do. In fact, the various functions he mentioned are just
It's just a part of the blood sandalwood scroll.
Blood sandalwood is produced on overseas islands. It takes thousands of years for the tree to take shape. During these thousand years, the wood will suffer nine lightning disasters and be struck by nine thunderbolts without dying. Finally, it is truly mature. Due to its unique characteristics, blood sandalwood is
Sandalwood is an important material collected by monks to make magical instruments and treasures. It is not only more valuable than gold, it is almost equivalent to a priceless treasure.
In fact, this blood sandalwood scroll has been refined into a magic weapon by Huangfu, but it is a useless auxiliary magic weapon with three major functions: wind, dust and rain. However, these "three defenses" are not suitable for Huangfu.
As far as members are concerned, there is no need to exist, so it is very suitable to give it to Chen Jianchen, so that everything can be put to good use.
——He refined a piece of blood sandalwood into the shape of a scroll, originally intended to be given to a scholar.
Now it seems that Chen Jianchen is that scholar!
The blood sandalwood is indeed extremely precious, but no matter how precious it is, it is not as precious as a daughter.
In addition to the superficial reasons for inviting Chen Jianchen to be his daughter's master, Huangfu actually had another consideration. He was originally a fire fox who had been practicing for five hundred years. By chance, he received profound Taoist inheritance, and his cultivation level has reached Yuanying level.
At that time, his daughter Jiao Na had just broken through the golden elixir and was able to transform into a human body.
If a demon takes form, it will suffer a catastrophe from heaven.
For people in the Taoist sect, the Heavenly Tribulation is an existence that everyone will be shocked by. This is because this Heavenly Tribulation is not easy to live through. If you are not careful, your body and soul will be destroyed and turned into ashes.
In order to let his daughter survive the natural disaster safely, Huangfu Yuanwai racked his brains and thought. He understood that the natural disaster belonged to a law of heaven and earth. If he wanted to endure it, in addition to his own powerful magical support, he also had to be familiar with the laws.
.
The way of law should be obtained from reading and literacy.
This is called "Ming".
"If you don't study, you don't understand." This is the truth.
However, Jiao Na was born naughty and active, and had no intention of studying. This became the biggest obstacle, and was also the reason why Huangfu Yuanwai kept asking her for tutors. Among the eight former tutors, there were Hongru, who was rich in knowledge, and some who were well-educated.
Scholars from Qunshu, and even some who were on the imperial list of high school, were all teased to such an embarrassing state in front of Jiao Na that they became so angry that they ran away after only two or three days.
It's not that they were all scared away, but more because they felt that their face was damaged and it was an insult to their politeness, so they left in a hurry.
Now, it's Chen Jianchen's turn.
Regarding Chen Jianchen's performance on the first day, Huangfu was very satisfied, so he said "well played". The way to be a teacher is to be relaxed and strict, to be both strict and compassionate, and only when you have mastered the temper can you continue.
Therefore, Huangfu took out a blood sandalwood scroll and presented it to Chen Jianchen, which was regarded as a rich reward. But after hearing what Chen Jianchen said, he realized that he was a little reckless. After thinking for a while, he suddenly said: "Liu Xian feels that this scroll is too big."
Show off, don't be afraid, the old man has his own way of changing his appearance, just wait a moment."
Then he took the book basket and entered the inner hall, probably using magic.
Chen Jianchen's heart was bright and he remained calm.
Sure enough, after a while, Huangfu came out with a book bamboo basket. He saw that the red light on the material surface of the book basket suddenly dimmed and turned gray. It looked just like an old gray book basket. They were sold on the streets, and dozens of them were sold.
The money and even the natural fragrance disappeared - if you didn't know better, you would have thought that he had changed his book basket.
"Liu Xian, how do you think it is now?"
Chen Jianchen didn't show any pretense. He stood up and saluted, "Thank you so much for the gift." He didn't ask much about the reason. He didn't ask for help on some things, which at the same time represented a kind of trust.
Huangfu laughed out loud: "You're welcome, Liu Xian. I hope Liu Xian will take more care about my little girl in the future."
"That's what I want."
Chen Jianchen took the book handle and found that it was extremely light, weighing only about half a kilogram. When he carried it on his back, he felt like it was nothing. It was much better than the bulky red sandalwood book handle. The natural fragrance of the material itself could not be smelled.
, but it still exists, and it feels very comfortable to breathe.
After looking at it carefully, he stretched out his hand and pulled up the four circular poles to support the white sunshade cloth on top. The tentacles of this sunshade cloth have a smooth texture, neither cotton nor brocade nor silk. It is very special. It is not ordinary. No wonder.
It is impervious to water and fire. Pulling out this piece of cloth can just block the sky above your head, so you won't be afraid of heavy rain.
At this time, a fine set of the four treasures of the study had already been placed in the inner compartment of the bookcase. These were considered as extra gifts - Huangfu Yuanwai was thoughtful.
After the meal, he drank tea and chatted for a while, then Chen Jianchen said goodbye and returned to the east chamber. The servants of the Huangfu family had already prepared a large wooden barrel and hot water for him to bathe in. After taking a bath, the servants moved out the belongings.
.
After taking a hot bath and putting on dry clothes, Chen Jianchen suddenly felt comfortable. Then he sat at his desk, practiced calligraphy for a while, and then continued reading. He did not want to go to bed too early, because intuitively
, Chen Jianchen determined that something would definitely happen tonight.
