Half a month after traveling, Huo Chong stood outside the door in a manner and listened to the conversation of the people in the main hall. The old man who saved Huo Chong said, "I have accepted a new apprentice, named Huo Chong. He is a real person, and he can live in a reliable position."

"Uncle Liu, didn't the kid who came to you last time say that he couldn't win?" someone asked.

Uncle Liu was very disdainful, "I drove that away long ago. Huo Chong is my newly accepted apprentice, not that child."

He was 30 years old and was still called a child. Huo Chong smiled bitterly. However, this matter was nothing compared to his affairs. Seven or eight days ago, Huo Chong finally confirmed that this year was the year of Dingyou. When he asked his life-saving benefactor, that is, Huo Chong's current teacher, Uncle Liu, Uncle Liu said that this year was the fifty-sixth year of Kangxi.

Huo Chong's history is very ordinary, and he has no idea how to calculate the year. He has confirmed that this year is the year of Dingyou, and after sixty years of the heavenly stems and earthly branches, one Jiazi. Combined with the fact that 2020 is the year of Gengzi, after repeated calculations, it was finally confirmed that it was 1717 and the fifty-sixth year of Kangxi. He was in Zhangdian, Shandong. He was quite far from Jinan, which he had been to when he was a grandfather.

At this moment, I heard a noise in the main hall, "Uncle Liu, what are you waiting for? Call the young man for us to see him."

"Huo Chong! Come in." Uncle Liu shouted outside the door.

Huo Chong quickly stepped forward, walked past the threshold, and approached the main hall. The windows were covered with window paper, which was not very light. Uncle Liu's house was another two-entry house. There was a bedroom more than one meter in front of the main hall, and the eaves blocked the sun, making the light in the house dim.

When he walked to his master, Uncle Liu, Huo Chong saluted his master first, "Master, what are the instructions?"

Uncle Liu said kindly and kindly: "These are all the leading figures on our side, so I will greet you."

After Uncle Liu finished his order, Huo Chong turned around and bowed several times to the people on the chair with Qing Dynasty etiquette. Everyone sat on the chair and responded, while looking at Huo Chong up and down. Huo Chong also looked back at everyone naturally.

The chairs on both sides were middle-aged and elderly people wearing a little sloppy clothes. It is now the third month of the lunar calendar, and these people's cotton jackets are relatively long and not long enough. They are neither short clothes nor long gowns, and their collars are below the knees, revealing the cotton pants and cotton shoes below.

Uncle Liu said to everyone: "How do you guys think of this kid?"

Everyone withdrew their gaze and praised Huo Chong for being tall, strong, sensible and handsome.

If I hadn't known that this was a disciple, these words would have made Huo Chong feel that he was going to go on a blind date. Since the master wanted to introduce Huo Chong to these people, I think there would be opportunities to deal with him in the future. Huo Chong turned his eyes to Uncle Liu. Uncle Liu's rat tail was already gray and his goatee was also gray. He was wearing a double-breasted long goat jacket that was common in Qing Dynasty films and TV dramas. There were several deep wrinkles on his face, and his triangle eyes were very vivid. Just looking at his appearance, he looked like a local squire.

No matter how you look, you don’t look like an extremely enlightened and friendly person. However, Uncle Liu not only saved Huo Chong, but also treated Huo Chong kindly. On the third day after they met, they began to teach Huo Chong a lot of special knowledge. Within half a month, Huo Chong was accepted as a disciple and even introduced Huo Chong to people in the village.

This action is too strange. In the 21st century, Huo Chong and a company boss whom he had never met before were eaten at a certain Jingongmen. Just because he sat next to each other, the boss of a company left Huo Chong's phone number, and after a little training, he appointed Huo Chong as the manager of a certain department. Perhaps only film and television dramas with Phoenix Man as the protagonist dared to act like this.

Just as I was thinking, I heard the middle-aged man sitting in the second place on his right hand ask: "Uncle Liu, have your eldest disciple ever seen this little brother?"

As soon as this said, the room immediately became quiet. Huo Chong also felt that speaking of this guy was uneasy and had obvious intention of provoking.

In the 21st century, teachers are still responsible for many things for students, and in this era, teachers have to bear more responsibilities. For example, if students in the 21st century beat people to death, the head teacher will be held accountable for education. This Qing Dynasty teacher will not only be condemned, but will be criticized for the whole life. He also has to pay for what his apprentices do to appease the families of the deceased.

With this personal relationship, the conflict between the apprentices can be imagined. When the eldest brother saw this young brother, he treated the new manager with the same attitude as the old department manager. Perhaps he was polite on the surface, but in fact he was uneasy and conceived.

Uncle Liu's calm expression immediately turned into indifference, and asked in a cold tone: "Lao Wu, what do you mean?"

This is probably ranked fifth, but I don’t know whose name, middle-aged man, haha, "It’s not interesting. Just ask. By the way, Uncle Liu, I’m short of money recently. Can you give me half of my money first?"

Uncle Liu tilted his head slightly and stretched his face. The deep wrinkles on his face became deeper, especially the nasolabial folds between the corners of his mouth and cheekbones were even more deeply entangled, and he looked like he was not angry and was very arrogant. He gently patted the armrest of the chair, and Uncle Liu replied: "Fifth, let's follow the rules and we will only pay before the end of the year. It's only March, are you going to break my rules?"

Lao Wu didn't dare to act rashly, so he lowered his head slightly, "Uncle, I'm really in a hurry to use money."

Uncle Liu decisively refused, "Fifth Lao, I have been doing this for many years. I have always followed the rules. There is no such rule here. If you use money today, he will use money tomorrow, and do it like this. What will I do if I fail? If I use money until the end of the year."

Huo Chong looked at what happened and felt very funny. Although it was only half a month ago, he was not unfamiliar with the industry he was engaged in in this era's teacher Uncle Liu.

As the next little leader of the Tianli Sect, Uncle Liu, in addition to providing religious services to believers, also provides another service. In the harvest of money in a good year, and in the disaster year, he opens a porridge shed to serve porridge. If the believers who give money encounter great difficulties, Uncle Liu will also come forward to help and even provide funding.

As long as these contents are slightly modified and written in exquisite legal text as ‘user agreement’, it is a p2p platform agreement. In the Qing Dynasty, he was forced to join the school of this business. Huo Chong felt that if there was any will, God would definitely play with all living beings with full malicious intentions.

Seeing that he couldn't get the money, Lao Wu wanted to fuck him softly. Uncle Liu didn't even look at him and talked to the people next to him. Just as Lao Wu couldn't help but scratch his head, a person rushed in from the yard and arrived at the door in a blink of an eye. It turned out that it was Uncle Liu's second apprentice Zhu Youquan.

Zhu Youquan ran to the door, but wanted to go in but didn't dare. Uncle Liu got up and walked to the door, whispering something. Zhu Youquan immediately said anxiously: "Master, something happened!"

Uncle Liu pushed Zhu Youquan backed two steps in a row, and then shouted in a low voice: "How could something happen!"

Zhu Youquan quickly lowered his head, but the anxiety on his face was beyond words. Uncle Liu took the lead and walked towards the wing room, and Zhu Youquan quickly followed Uncle Liu. Seeing that the two disappeared from their sight, everyone turned their eyes back to Huo Chong. After a moment of silence, everyone started to have family conversations with Huo Chong.

Huo Chong had already thought of a set of rhetoric, but it was simple but not leaked. Soon everyone stopped asking about Huo Chong's background, so everyone asked why Huo Chong's accent sounded so rare.

Huo Chong can still deal with his origin, but he really has no choice but to have accent problems. He started from elementary school in Mandarin, and even speaking Mandarin, it is also a Mandarin-style Shandong dialect. It is very different from the pure dialect of Shandong in the Qing Dynasty.

Moreover, these people also attract Huo Chong. Every time they see these people’s money rat tails, Huo Chong can’t help but take a look. In this era, men shaved their heads, leaving only a small piece of hair behind their heads, and braided them with this small piece of hair.

Seeing that everyone is a rat tail, Huo Chong realized that in order to ugliness China, foreign films would create this ugly rat tail if they are related to the Qing Dynasty. However, this rat tail is real. The hairstyle of hair outside the forehead in Chinese film and television works is a lie.

Seeing that these guests were all rat tails of money, Huo Chong felt even more different about his master Uncle Liu. Uncle Liu didn't ask why Huo Chong had three millimeters of hair, but heard that Huo Chong was very surprised at whether he was a monk. Uncle Liu asked a female family to cut off a strand of hair, braided Huo Chong in a small braid, and attached it to the back of her head. If there was no such strand of hair, I don't know what Huo Chong would do.

The guests were not very interested in Huo Chong. After chatting for a while, they began to talk about local affairs. The main content was nonsense, but they gradually heard some information. The local magistrate wanted to be promoted and was about to get some money before leaving. The servants searched in various ways, making everyone try their best to avoid it.

A brother surnamed Zhang said that someone was arrested for literary inquisition in Lin County, and he was a little gloating and a little awe. The person sitting next to him was named Liu Wenyuan. He said to the brother surnamed Zhang who mentioned literary inquisition in disdain: "I heard that it was the emperor who ordered them to be arrested, and it was the emperor! It must be that they committed a big deal that the emperor wanted to kill them. They were very guilty!"

Many people nodded, and although the brother named Zhang mentioned earlier nodded, he was still afraid, "Scholars can do big things that the emperor knows, it should be extraordinary."

Liu Wenyuan curled his lips, "The literary inquisition will be implicated, and even the family members cannot escape. Speaking of which, these people are just a shame after studying. Being a scholar is as uncomfortable as being a scholar. Now I know who is older."

Huo Chong listened quietly and tried his best to enrich the social system knowledge he had already started to build with the information contained in these words. He heard a few steps outside the door, looked up and saw Uncle Liu coming in with a serious expression, and said a little absent-mindedly: "Everyone, everyone has seen me, my apprentice. I still have something to do today, everyone will go back. I will invite everyone to drink when I have time."

Everyone looked at each other for a few times, and their expressions were disappointed. Liu Wenyuan said tentatively: "Since you are a disciple, you must let this child give us a bar."

Seeing Liu Wenyuan's look of anticipation, Huo Chong's eyes turned away from him and felt funny. After the official activity of becoming a disciple, it was indeed necessary to set up a banquet. If it weren't for something big, Shandong's rules would definitely not have been cancelled like this. However, Uncle Liu has announced the cancellation, and this person is still looking forward to this meal, which is really a bit ignorant.

Before others could join, Uncle Liu said, "Huo Chong, please call everyone for dinner. I'll go out in advance."

Huo Chong hurriedly asked, "Master, do you want me to go with you?"

At this time, the second senior brother Zhu Youquan walked out the door with a stern face to wait for his master. When he heard Huo Chong's words, Zhu Youquan cast an unfriendly look at Huo Chong. Huo Chong sighed in his heart that his master Uncle Liu was very nice to him, which made the senior brothers unhappy.

Although the words of the old fifth brother were unpleasant, they were not wrong. If they met the eldest brother, they still didn’t know what would happen.
