"Mister Wang, so happy!"
Looking at the shrewd old lady in front of him and hearing her exaggerated tone, Wang Chen's eyes became a little weird.
This uninvited guest is a matchmaker, and she claims to be the number one matchmaker in Qing'an County and the number one salesperson in the year.
Wang Chen I really didn't expect that a matchmaker would come to my home.
Seeing that Wang Chen was indifferent to her words and did not respond at all, the matchmaker surnamed Wang was somewhat embarrassed.
But she was very thick-skinned and continued calmly, "Did you know? Chen Fugui, the foreign minister in the west of the city, has chosen you and is willing to recruit you as your son-in-law. You will have endless blessings in the future!"
Wang Chen's expression became even weirder, and he couldn't help but ask, "You mean, his family wants me to be Upper Sect's son-in-law?"
"That's right!"
Granny Wang said with a smile, "Mr. Chen is an only daughter. She has regarded her as the apple of her eye since she was a child, so naturally she is reluctant to marry outside."
"Don't think it's not good to be Upper Sect's son-in-law..."
She spoke eloquently, "Chen Yuanwai said that if you are willing to come, he can give you two shops and a rice store. Moreover, the big house at home can accommodate dozens of people. If you give birth to a child in the future, only half of them will change their surnames."
"Only half!"
"With such conditions, countless people in the county want Upper Sect, but Yuanwai Chen has taken a fancy to you!"
This Granny Wang looked like "You've made a lot of money", which made Wang Chen couldn't help but laugh, "I can't bear such a good thing. You go back and tell Mr. Chen to thank him for his kindness."
Granny Wang obviously didn't expect that he could not make Wang Chen hesitate for even a moment with all his extravagant words and all his power of bewitching.
"Mister Wang, this is..."
"Please."
Wang Chen directly served tea to see the guest off, too lazy to continue chatting with the other party.
Granny Wang was frustrated and had no choice but to leave angrily, cursing when he went out.
As soon as the matchmaker left, Wang Chen put down the tea cup and said calmly, "Come in, what are you doing sneaking around outside?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Yijian walked in with a face full of shame, bowed and said, "Teacher."
Wang Chen looked at his first student, smiled and said, "What do you want to say?"
The other party looked like he was hesitating to speak, obviously he was hiding something in his heart.
Chen Yijian swallowed and said quickly, "Teacher, please don't be fooled by that Granny Wang. Who doesn't know about Chen Fugui in the west of the city? His daughter is eight feet tall and has an eight-foot waist. She also likes to dance with guns and sticks. People on the road call her Chen Bachi!"
Chen Bachi!
Wang Chen I've never heard of it before. "Is it so powerful?"
"Yeah."
Chen Yijian nodded vigorously. "Chen Bachi is already twenty-five this year and hasn't gotten married yet!"
It is indeed a sinkhole!
Wang Chen smiled and said, "I understand, I won't be fooled, just go and do your work."
Now the school prepares a lunch for the students every day. The rice, grains, oil and salt are purchased by Wang Chen. The students bring their own pickles and bacon, and then they make them for themselves.
Wang Chen asked Chen Yijian to take charge of this matter. Except for the regular purchase of grain and oil, he ignored the rest.
And Chen Yijian completely lived up to his expectations. This poor and humble disciple with the spirit of a snake and python quickly showed his talent and managed the students in an orderly manner.
Since he can now eat a full meal every day, and even eat a little meat from time to time, in the past six months, this half-grown boy has grown taller and is no longer the skinny person he was before!
Although he was still poor, he had changed into a set of coarse clothes, and he seemed to have a somewhat high-spirited masculinity.
"Yes."
Chen Yijian bowed respectfully to Wang Chen, and then went out.
Wang Chen looked at his leaving back and touched his chin thoughtfully.
Out of the fifty students Wang Clan School currently enrolls, Chen Yijian is undoubtedly the most outstanding.
He has a very strong learning ability. He was the first to complete "Thousand Character Classic" and the first to master the basic martial arts taught by Wang Chen. He has a strong will and a persevering temperament, and he also works hardest in his daily studies.
Although the dozens of other students were far inferior, a few stood out.
What's interesting is that these students are second only to Wang Chen in their belief in Chen Yijian, and they have become the former's younger brothers!
In this regard, Wang Chen did not interfere in any way.
But what he didn't expect was that after he rejected Granny Wang, Granny Zhang and Granny Sun came one after another to act as matchmakers.
Wang Chen is a little confused. He taught and educated people in Tongluo Alley very low-key, how could he suddenly become a popular fried chicken in the blind date market?
It wasn't until Upper Sect, the innkeeper who was familiar with him, visited that Wang Chen knew the whole story.
It turns out that just half a month ago, Yu Heqian, the county magistrate of Qing'an County, somehow found out about Wang Chen, and then praised him as "a scholar setting an example".
Many people think that Wang Chen has been favored by the county magistrate. Maybe he will have the opportunity to join the government as an official, and he will naturally become a potential stock.
The most important thing is that Wang Chen is not married yet, and he is still a migrant with no relatives. He is also a young scholar who has opened a private school in the city. Even if he is a bit prodigal, he has proved to be quite wealthy.
With such conditions, many civilians in the county have been beaten down.
It's normal for matchmakers to come in droves.
"Mister Wang, if you don't mind, I can help you find a suitable home."
The innkeeper sincerely persuaded, "You have been in Qing'an County for more than a year, and it is time to start a family and start a business."
What he was worried about was that Wang Chen would shut out all these matchmakers, which would easily lead to gossip and even slander.
Wang Chen thought for a while, nodded and said, "Then I'll trouble the shopkeeper."
The innkeeper smiled and said, "It's not troublesome, it's not troublesome at all. I just don't know what your request is, sir?"
Wang Chen Saran: "Just be gentle and virtuous."
Mortal Realm Heart Refining You need to live an ordinary life. If you don't marry a wife, have children and grow up, it will definitely not be complete.
Before returning to the Mountain Sea Realm, Wang Chen was already mentally prepared.
The innkeeper accepted the matchmaking task and said goodbye happily.
Wang Chen took the fishing rod and net bag, then rode on his own Large Black Donkey and went to the Clear Water River to fish outside the city.
In the past year, he would go fishing at the Clear Water River every afternoon, rain or shine.
The fish caught, no matter how big or small, are brought back and kept in a large tank, and the students are given extra meals the next day.
River fish is not as good as pork, beef, and mutton, but it is also meaty and contains a lot of nutrients.
The donkey's hooves clattered, stepping on the bluestone slabs all the way out of the city gate, taking the official road and then turning into the path, and soon arrived at the riverside.
At this time, the autumn air is crisp and the breeze is not dry. There are willows on both sides of the river bank. Wang Chen chooses a seat to sit, build a nest, hang bait and swing a rod to fish.
Just wait for the fish to take the bait.
