Chapter nine hundred and fortieth: literary talent
In the early morning of May, people were coming and going on the streets of Fengshui Town.
"We sell steamed buns, steamed buns with thin skin and lots of meat!"
"Tanghulu, delicious and sweet candied haws!"
"Boss, bring me two big meat buns."
"Okay, wait a moment!"
"...."
Various small vendors selling goods and people passing by make up a lively and bustling scene, with the sounds of vendors shouting, pedestrians talking, and children playing.
It has to be said that remote places do have their own advantages in being remote in certain eras, and have a certain effect of avoiding war. This is the case in Fengshui Town. Although the outside world is now full of wars, due to the barrier of Guanshan, in seven or eight years,
In the past, Fengshui Town was still relatively unaffected by external wars and remained as peaceful as ever, with the busiest times in the morning and evening every day.
"Good morning, Master Lin."
"Hello, Master Lin!"
"Good morning!"
"Master Lin."
"How is business this morning?"
"not bad."
"..."
Dressed neatly, Uncle Jiu also appeared on the street, greeting acquaintances on the street in a familiar manner, and seemed a little busy.
After seven or eight years, Uncle Jiu is now fully worthy of being highly respected throughout Fengshui Town and is famous far and wide.
Disciple Wencai followed closely behind Uncle Jiu, like a follower. With his short hairstyle and an aged face, he was clearly in his twenties but looked like he was thirty or forty years old.
"Hey, you look so good today, what are you going to do?"
A vendor had just finished greeting Uncle Jiu, and noticed Wen Cai's neat appearance, and couldn't help but smile and joke.
"Master Ren invited the master to drink tea today, and the master took me to drink foreign tea."
When Wen Cai heard this, he narrowed his eyes and smiled, looking honest and courteous.
"Oh, then go quickly. Master Lin has walked to the front, so hurry up and follow him."
When the merchant heard this, he immediately glanced at Jiu Shudao, who was already far ahead.
"Eh!"
Wencai quickly responded with a smile, and then rushed towards Uncle Jiu in front of him. Looking at Wencai's back, the vendor couldn't help but smile, shook his head and said to himself.
"What a difference!"
"There is a big difference. Compared with Master Lin's eldest disciple, Little Master Lin, Master Lin's current two disciples are indeed very different."
Another vendor at the stall next to him also smiled and shook his head when he heard this. The literary look reminded them of Lin Tianqi, although Lin Tianqi spent less time in Fengshui Town after he settled in Fengshui Town, and even went to Fengshui Town.
It has been seven or eight years since he came back, but Lin Tianqi's impression left a deep impression on everyone in Fengshui Town.
Personable, both civil and military, outstanding in style...
This is the intuitive impression that the entire Fengshui Town people have on Lin Tianqi. Compared with Lin Tianqi, in the eyes of the entire Fengshui Town people, the two apprentices that Master Lin accepted later are undoubtedly much different, regardless of whether
In any aspect, even he is far behind Xu Dongsheng.
Although the group of people didn't see clearly what Wencai and Qiu Sheng meant, with Zhu Yu in front of them, it was inevitable that they would feel a comparison.
On the other side, Wen Cai quickly left the stall and caught up with Uncle Jiu. He didn't know the conversation and thoughts of the two vendors behind him, but he hesitated after catching up with Uncle Jiu.
"Master, can I not go have tea with you?"
"Why, do you have any grudge against Master Ren?"
After hearing this, Uncle Jiu put his hands behind his back and continued to move forward without turning his head.
"No, I'm thinking that I haven't even had tea with a foreign country in my entire life, and I'm afraid that I'll make a fool of myself and embarrass you, Master."
Wencai said, thinking at the same time, he had never drank foreign tea and entered a foreign restaurant in his whole life. It would be so embarrassing if he went in and made a fool of himself.
Uncle Jiu also stopped when he heard this, turned to look at Wen Cai, and raised his eyebrows.
"Are you afraid of embarrassing the master? Okay, very good, then you don't have to go."
After saying that, Uncle Jiu strode forward again.
"ah!"
When Wen Cai heard this, his heart suddenly became confused. Looking at the back of his master striding away, he was indeed a little timid and afraid of being embarrassed by following him, but he felt a little flustered when he heard his master's tone. He was worried that his master was angry, so he stopped for a moment.
He was at a loss where he was.
And Uncle Jiu, who had just strode away and walked a few steps, suddenly began to think secretly again after walking for a while, thinking to himself.
"Although I had foreign tea with Tianqi back then, it was only once or twice, and it was already eight or nine years ago. I can't remember it for a long time. It was Tianqi who helped me at that time.
Ordering food, Tian Qi is not here now, I don’t know those foreign languages, and I haven’t drank foreign tea since I came down. It would be embarrassing if I make a fool of myself later.”
"No, you have to bring the talented people with you. If you really make a fool of yourself, someone will be able to take care of you."
Thinking of this, Uncle Jiu immediately made a decision in his mind and shouted behind him without looking back.
"Literary talent!"
"Oh! Master! I'm coming!"
Hearing his master's voice, Wencai immediately ran up as if he had heard some fairy music.
"Master, what's wrong?"
After a few steps to catch up, Wencai spoke.
With the idea of tricking his disciples in his heart, Uncle Jiu's attitude suddenly became kind, he patted Wen Cai on the shoulder and said kindly.
"Since you have never drunk foreign tea in your whole life, then master will take you to drink foreign tea today to open your eyes."
The poor scholar didn't know what his master was thinking, so he immediately nodded happily.
"Yeah!"
"Let's go!"
Seeing this, Uncle Jiu patted Wencai on the shoulder again and walked forward again. At the same time, he took out the old pocket watch in his pocket and checked the time.
"Master, this pocket watch is so old. I've seen that you've been carrying it for seven or eight years, and you haven't thrown it away yet!"
Seeing this, Wen Cai couldn't help but talk too much. Uncle Jiu immediately glared at him and said angrily.
"What do you know? Your senior brother bought this for me, and do you know how much this pocket watch is worth? It costs tens of thousands of dollars outside, and it's not even worth a fraction of what you bought it for."
"What? It's just a watch. It's more beautiful than other watches. I don't believe it's so expensive."
Upon hearing this, Wen Cai immediately murmured in dissatisfaction.
Uncle Jiu glared at Wen Cai again and lectured him angrily.
"You, if you had your senior brother..."
"Master, are you saying again that if I were half as big as my senior brother, you would be satisfied?"
But before Uncle Jiu could finish speaking, Wencai interrupted in advance.
"Half? You?"
Uncle Jiu's eyes widened when he heard this, and he snorted angrily and said disdainfully.
"Don't tell me half of it, even if you are as good as your senior brother, I will be satisfied!"
"A hair, master, what you said is too shocking, isn't it?"
Wen Cai was immediately dissatisfied.
"Hitting people? Humph, you will know when your senior brother comes back one day. The most proud thing in my life is to have a disciple like your senior brother. If you and Qiu Sheng were one ten thousandth as good as your senior brother,
I am completely satisfied as a teacher..."
"I talk about Senior Brother every day. I haven't seen anyone for seven or eight years. Anyway, no one is here. It's not up to you to brag about it."
Wencai was dissatisfied and murmured in a low voice, thinking that when the time comes, I would like to see what this senior brother is like and whether he really has anything.
Uncle Jiu said no more, because the master and the apprentice had already arrived at the door of the restaurant.
