Shen Mingchen was stunned for a moment.

Mr. Xu doesn't follow the routine.

He was just so humble, but Mr. Xu directly blocked his words.

How can I answer this?

However, this also shows that Mr. Xu is a wonderful person.

If you follow the crowd, how could you write such a charming poem?

Hold on to the green mountains and do not relax, and the roots are originally in the broken rocks.

Thousands of blows are still strong, no matter how winds are east, west, south and north.

Shen Mingchen recited it silently in his heart again and secretly said that this poem is so fragrant!

At this moment, Xu Yan's image in his mind became a little taller.

Shen Mingchen has decided to take Xu Yan as his teacher at all costs.

Of course, Xu Yan didn't know about Shen Mingchen's psychological activities, and thought that one sentence had already persuaded Shen Mingchen to retreat.

Unexpectedly, Shen Mingchen bowed directly to him and said, "I would like to ask Mr. Xu to accept me as a student."

Xu Yan thought to himself that he was going to even get the apprenticeship ceremony? He planned to be the boss and forcefully? Get on the bus first and then get the ticket?

This Shen Mingchen is so cruel to himself, it's so terrifying.

"Young Master Chen, why bother you?"

Xu Yan thought to himself that he accepted Shen Mingchen today, and He Mingchen and Li Mingchen will be there tomorrow.

By then, disciples will be one after another, and the descendants will be endless.

No, this hole cannot be opened!

"There is not only a relationship between master and apprentice in this world. You and I can communicate even if we are not a relationship between teacher and student."

Shen Mingchen shook his head and said, "That's different. I know that Mr. Xu is testing me, and I will not give up easily."

Xu Yan: "..."

At this moment, he just wanted to whistle to the sky.

After being silent for a long time, Xu Yanfang cleared his throat and said, "I have never accepted a student, probably because I am afraid of trouble. Since you want to take me as your teacher, you need to agree to me three conditions."

Seeing that Xu Yan was about to give in, Shen Mingchen was overjoyed.

"Please speak with your mentor."

Change the title so quickly?

Xu Yan wanted to roll his eyes.

"First, don't call me the word "teacher" in front of others."

Now it was Shen Mingchen's turn to be speechless.

"What's the solution?"

"No, I just feel tired of it. You can just call me in private, but you don't allow it in front of others."

Xu Yan's attitude is very firm.

Shen Mingchen thought for a moment and felt that it was not difficult to do it, so he promised: "Don't worry, my teacher, I will never mention those two words in front of others."

Xu Yan nodded and continued, "Second, keep a certain distance from me."

Shen Mingchen thought to himself that this condition is very strange. Could it be that my teacher has a cleanliness habit?

He subconsciously sniffed his sleeves, and there was no special smell.

Although he was a little confused, Shen Mingchen nodded: "Don't worry, my teacher, I will definitely do it."

Xu Yan took a deep breath and said, "The third and most important point is that you can't live with me."

Xu Yan thought that if he provided food and accommodation, with Shen Mingchen's example, there would probably be many poor scholars who would follow suit in the future. Wouldn't he become a welfare home by then?

Besides, two big men will inevitably cause gossip when living together.

Especially scholars in the Ming Dynasty had a habit of breaking their sleeves, and it was really bad to say that they would go out and influence them.

Shen Mingchen thought Xu Yan was going to mention something, but he didn't expect it to be so simple.

"Don't worry, the teacher, the student has a house and will definitely not live in your place."

Seeing that things had come to this point, Xu Yan sighed: "Okay, okay..."

I came to Hangzhou and accepted a student in a confused manner, and was also a great poet who became famous in the future.

It's really amazing.

...

...

Today is the day when Miaofengtang Hangzhou Branch opens.

As the shopkeeper of the bookstore, Xu Wei was in a mixed mood.

He handles the layout and decoration of the Hangzhou branch. Now that the bookstore is opened, he looks like an old parent looking at growing up as a son.

With the successful experience of Dinghai County Bookstore, Xu Wei is very confident in the Hangzhou branch.

After all, Miaofengtang only has manuscripts in Journey to the West. This monopoly advantage can enable the Hangzhou branch to expand rapidly and seize resources.

Dinghai County cannot compare to Hangzhou. There are many bookstores in Hangzhou, so it is not easy to divide the share of those time-honored brands. Only by offering fire books of Journey to the West can Miaofengtang have a foothold in Hangzhou.

Mr. Xu treated him well, so Xu Wei naturally hoped to manage his Hangzhou branch well and earn more money to repay Mr. Xu's kindness for his kindness.

According to Xu Yan's previous suggestions, Xu Wei continued to distribute leaflets and first played the names of Journey to the West and Miaofengtang.

As expected, on the day of official opening, the people who came to Miaofengtang to read books were not only crowded, but also very impressive.

Xu Wei's heart was finally able to let go.

As a scholar, it is not easy to put aside his face.

Even a few years ago, Xu Wei would not think that he would help others one day. But now his mentality has changed a lot, and how to live out value is his primary consideration.

As for the imperial examination, it is best to have fame and fortune, and there is nothing to regret if there is no.

Let the flow.

Xu Wei's Buddhist attitude towards the imperial examination also allowed him to devote more energy to managing the bookstore, so that the Miaofengtang semicolons were spread throughout prefectures and counties in the south of the Yangtze River in the following years.

Of course this is a later story, so I won’t say it for now.

...

...

Xixi Hongyuan.

Hong Miaoyun savored the poem over and over again, his eyes full of envy.

A young man, with excellent poetry talent.

The gentle young man, with a proud spring breeze.

Hong Miaoyun hopes to study with Xu Yan at Gushan Academy. In this way, she can ask Xu Yan for advice from time to time and discuss poetry.

Unfortunately, all this was just his fantasy. Because she was a woman, it was impossible for her to enter the academy.

Thinking of this, Hong Miaoyun's expression was a little dim and his emotions immediately became depressed.

"Miss, guess what I brought back!"

At this moment, the maid Cuiwen ran to Hong Miaoyun and waving a booklet and laughed foolishly.

"You damn girl scared me to death."

Hong Miaoyun covered her chest to calm down and glared at Cuiwen fiercely.

The little maid laughed and said, "If the lady saw this, she would never blame me again."

Hong Miaoyun said strangely: "What is this?"

After taking the booklet and opening it, I saw that there were a few big words written on the home page, such as Journey to the West.

“Where did you get it?”

"Miss, don't you know? The rumor of Journey to the West has been so popular in Hangzhou recently. Almost everyone in the city is waiting for updates."

"So exaggerated?"

Hong Miaoyun didn't believe it, so she planned to take a look at it herself.

At first she thought the book was mediocre.

But after reading for a while, I fell into it.

Hong Miaoyun was so immersed in his mind that he actually finished reading the five episodes in one breath.

She murmured, "I don't know what's going on later."

Cuiwen covered her mouth and smiled, "What did I say just now. But there are many people like Miss waiting for updates. But when to update depends on the mood of the Lord of Huayang Cave Heaven."
