High Score Movie Life

Chapter 64
More than a month has passed, and He Shen went to Qin Mansion every day to answer questions, rain or shine.

Today he received his salary from the accountant, which was a full 50 taels of silver.

I think he just drinks tea and chats every day, and gives me 50 taels of silver. What a nice job!

During this period, I met Mr. Qin once, but he neither asked for advice on how to save the country nor discussed how to do business. Instead, he carefully inquired about He Shen's food, clothing, housing and transportation, and whether there was any lack of care.

He Shen wanted to do this, but he couldn't show his laziness in front of his master, so he pretended to work hard.

Unfortunately, for some unknown reason, Mr. Qin didn't want him to get involved in the family's business. Instead, he persuaded him, "With your talent, how can you just stay in the humble business of industry and commerce?"

"If there is nothing to do at home, sir, you don't have to light the knot every day. You can go to Goulan to listen to music, or arrange flowers and jade in the Bada Hutong. Wouldn't it be nice?"

He Shen smiled after hearing this.

Lao Qin, you are really blind. A senior accountant like me is something that many people can only dream of at this time.

That being the case, He Shen could only accept it calmly.

Since he doesn't have to check in every day, he has more free time.

So Heshen began to think about improving his own strength. Now in the late Qing Dynasty, it was the time when national martial arts was flourishing.

If I don’t seize this opportunity, I don’t know what kind of world I will be in next time I travel.

Speaking of the masters of martial arts in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, there are countless.

But He Shen's vision was extraordinary. Not only did he need to be from a well-known and upright family, but he also had to be highly cultivated and highly respected.

Why choose someone with high moral character and high prestige?Because it involves seniority issues, he doesn't want to be inferior to others in the future.

Among them, Yang Luchan, Dong Haichuan, Guo Yunshen, Sun Lutang, Li Shuwen, Du Xinwu, etc. are the most respected and highly ranked in terms of strength.

However, due to system mission constraints, he could only find people who were in Beijing at this time.

As a result, there were only three people left on his apprenticeship list, namely Du Xinwu, the second-generation head of the Natural Sect; Gong Baotian, the chief guard of Ouchi; and Wang Wu, the broadsword.

Among them, Big Sword King Wu was the first to be eliminated. This person had a close relationship with Tan Sitong. Because his friend was beheaded, he chose crazy revenge in anger. He was a key criminal of the Qing court.

Even if he wanted to become a disciple, he could not find any trace of this person.

As for Gong Baotian, a master of the imperial family, he not only held a high position but was also Cixi's personal bodyguard. How could someone of his status be able to contact him?

The last one is He Shen's first choice as a disciple. Now Du Xinwu has just resigned as a bodyguard and came to BJ to guard the Qing Palace. Since he is not an imperial guard, his monthly salary is only 80 taels of silver.

Besides, He Shen had inquired clearly a long time ago that this person lives in No. [-] Jiangfang Compound, Xizhimen Street, and goes in and out of the Qing Palace every day, and his whereabouts are very fixed.

It would be rude to visit him rashly, so He Shen borrowed the help of the Qin Mansion to send a greeting note.

Early the next morning, he prepared a generous gift and went to visit her.

The Jiangfang Courtyard belongs to the inner city and is far away from the teahouse. Besides, he brought a lot of gifts, so he had to call a carriage.

After arriving, He Shen put down the gift and knocked on the door.

The person who opened the door was a young clerk. Seeing that Heshen was well dressed and carrying heavy gifts, he asked, "Is the visitor Mr. Wang, a guest of the Qin Mansion?"

He Shen didn't dare to show off, so he raised his hand and saluted, "Sir, I don't dare to accept it. I admire Master Du very much, and I'm here to visit you today."

"Please come in! My young master has already told me that if your husband comes to visit, you can come in and say something." The young waiter immediately opened the door to welcome the guests.

"Excuse me!"

Heshen picked up the gifts and followed the waiter through the front yard and into the reception hall.

"Sir, wait a moment. I'll go report to the young master." He Shen nodded, then put down the gift and scanned the decorations in the hall.

Although the Du family comes from a noble family, they are far less wealthy than the Qin family. Maybe this place is just a temporary residence and looks like an ordinary family.

Not long after, a strong man in his late thirties walked in from the backyard. He was wearing a linen shorts and wide martial arts pants.

His body is upright, his hands and feet are thick, and his appearance is mighty. There is an air of expressiveness between his eyebrows. He looks deep and forward like a tiger and leopard hunting, and his aura is extremely threatening.

With such a momentum coming, He Shen didn't dare to show any timidity, he opened his eyes slightly and looked at him!
After looking at each other for a moment, seeing He Shen almost unable to hold on any longer, the other party immediately regained his composure and burst into laughter.

"I didn't expect that my little friend also possesses martial arts. Du was so itchy just now that he couldn't help but give it a try. I hope that my little friend will understand!"

His demeanor looked free and natural, and it didn't look like he was deliberately doing it. Besides, he came to be a disciple, so how could he dare to blame him.

"I've heard about Master Du's reputation a long time ago, and now I'm living up to his reputation!" He Shen complimented.

Du Xinwu waved his hand and said disdainfully: "It's just a false name, why should I care about it?"

"My friend, please sit down. I wonder why you are here?"

Martial arts practitioners like to be straightforward, but He Shen also liked it, so he immediately stepped forward and knelt down.

He begged with sincerity: "I admire Master Du very much. I came here just to be my apprentice. I hope Master Du will take you in as an exception."

He Shen's move was beyond his expectation. He originally thought he was here to learn martial arts, but he didn't expect that he was here to become a disciple.

Now he is still in his early thirties and has only been in the army for a few years. This is the first time he has encountered such a situation.

However, people who practice martial arts are extremely strict in accepting apprentices. Unlike today, which is just a formality, in ancient times, accepting apprentices meant inheriting the family, passing on techniques, and honoring the lintel.

So he refused and said: "My little friend is already interested in martial arts. Why should we abandon the near and seek the far away? Why don't we just give up."

I knew you would be like this. Xin Xin and Shen Shen had already mastered the "shameless" stunt and the "shameless" magic skill. I saw him kneeling with his legs and raising his head to pray.

"The boy has only practiced some country moves, and he is very eager for those famous martial arts. I hope Master Du can fulfill my desire for martial arts."

What kind of person is Du Xinwu? He has been extremely intelligent since he was a child. He likes to read poetry and books, and he has a clever mind. He can master any martial arts immediately.

So develop a haughty, conceited temper.

If he really wanted to accept a disciple, he would definitely choose a genius with extraordinary intelligence and aptitude.

People like He Shen are over the age limit, have fixed bones, and have almost no room for improvement. Why accept him?Shame on going out?

"No need to say any more, little friend, please leave quickly." After saying that, he stood up and walked towards the backyard.

He Shen knew there was no hope this time, but he wouldn't give up.

Walking out of the door in a blink of an eye, of course you still have to leave the gift, otherwise it will be difficult to come to the door next time.

Next, He Shen turned on the harassment mode and came to greet him every now and then. As long as the other party relaxed a little, he would stay put and never leave, which made Du Xinwu tireless.

Once he met a fellow martial artist who came to visit, He Shen immediately regarded himself as Du Xinwu's disciple, causing a lot of jokes.

Within a month, Du Xinwu couldn't stand it anymore and was ready to have a detailed talk with Heshen.

On this day, he came to the door again with heavy gifts, and Du Xinwu took him to the backyard with an angry look on his face.

"Your Excellency's behavior is really disgusting. There are so many masters in the world, why bother to keep an eye on Du!"
