Chapter 31
After this little episode, the crowd continued to chat, eat and drink. At this time, three children aged six or seven ran in outside the door, surrounded by Guo Huaili and kept looking at the plate of beans. Guo Huaili looked at the children, then at Looking at the fennel beans on the table, he stroked his beard and smiled, then squeezed out a few beans from the plate for the child.But the child ate it all up and down, and then drool over the plate of fennel beans.Seeing this, Guo Huaili quickly covered the plate with his hand, shook his head and said to the children, "It's not too much."

As soon as these words came out, the soup that Lin Yifan had just drank in the room immediately spurted out. If Luo Feng on the opposite side hadn't reacted quickly, he might have been sprayed all over the face.Luo Feng glared at Lin Yifan angrily, asking for an explanation.Lin Yifan was not in the mood to explain, implying that Luo Feng was calm, while he looked at Guo Huaili carefully.The sentence just now reminded him of the novel "Kong Yiji" he had read in modern times, and comparing what happened just now, it was not much different from what was written in the novel.Then it's next. . . .

The children did not leave, they still looked at him pitifully.Guo Huaili was a little soft-hearted and reluctant, so he smiled and said: "Children, I will ask you to write a word. As long as you can write it, I will give you another fennel bean, okay?"

The child didn't want to, so he nodded quickly.Guo Huaili then happily dipped his finger in the wine, wrote a character for fen on the table, and said, "This character is called fen, which is the character for fennel beans you eat. Look carefully."

The children tilted their heads, looked at it for a while, and then made random gestures on the table, which made Guo Huaili shake his head again and again, "This is wrong, it is not written like this."

It's always wrong at first sight, and the children quit, looking at the fennel beans and shouting for them.Guo Huaili had no choice but to give them a few more fennel beans. While giving them, he said: "This word fen may be a bit difficult, but it doesn't matter. As long as you can read, you will write it in the future. Actually, this word fen There are four ways to write it. Shall I write it for you?"

Before the words were finished, the children who had divided the beans all ran away with a huff.Guo Huaili laughed, and continued to eat the fennel beans.

Lin Yifan was so excited, it was like meeting an old acquaintance in a foreign land, this Guo Huaili was carved out of the same mold as Kong Yiji, but, I don't know if his fate will be as miserable as Kong Yiji in the future?Now that he knew that his fate might follow Kong Yiji's footsteps, Lin Yifan couldn't sit still, stood up, and shouted to Guo Huaili who was at the door: "This Kong, uh, Mr. Guo, can you come here to talk about it?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Lin Yifan suspiciously. At first, Guo Huaili thought he was calling someone else, but when he looked back, he saw a young man inside looking at him. Is the young master called next?"

Lin Yifan nodded, "That's right, Mr. Guo, would you like to talk to me?"

Guo Huaili was overjoyed when he heard the words, and nodded quickly. It's rare that someone used an honorific title for him and invited him to sit. The sun really came out from the west, so he quickly picked up the dishes on the table and walked over quickly.

When he came to Lin Yifan's place, he saw three young people sitting on the seat, all of them were handsome and extraordinary, so he felt that these three people must be extraordinary.Sitting cautiously on the empty seat, he bowed his hands to the three of them and said, "I'm Guo Huaili, I've seen you all."

"My name is Lin Yifan, this is Luo Feng, and this is Luo Qing." Lin Yifan introduced himself and the others.Then he asked: "I see that Mr. is a scholar, why did he end up in such a state?"

Guo Huaili was very embarrassed when he heard the words. He raised his sleeves to cover his face, and replied eagerly: "I, I am devoted to learning and have no intention of earning a living. That's why I am so poor. Ashamed, ashamed."

Seeing his ashamed expression, Lin Yifan smiled and said, "Sir, there is no need to be like this. Today's embarrassment is just a matter of bad luck. I believe that with Mr.'s talent, he will definitely be able to achieve his wish."

Guo Huaili smiled wryly and said: "This young master is praised by me, but I still have a little self-knowledge, my fame has already become a cloud, I hope to bring two or three sons, enlightenment and teaching are enough."

"Oh, sir, it seems that you have a lot of experience in the way of education. I wonder if you can tell me a little bit?" Lin Yifan suddenly thought when he heard that, Hengshan County was short of education management.Although Guo Huaili looks down and out now, he doesn't look like a pedantic person.If the ability is not bad, he will be dragged to Hengshan to teach.

"Young master is absurd. I have no great skills. When my family was rich in my early years, I tried to study everywhere. Later, I went to a private school to teach elementary school, so I knew something about enlightenment. Now I am poor, half my life has been lost, and there is no hope of fame. , If you can teach one or two outstanding scholars, you will be satisfied." After Guo Huaili finished speaking, he sighed and drank the wine in one gulp.In his heart, such a wish may be hopeless in this life.

"In that case, if you don't dislike it, sir, my family still lacks a teacher. I wonder if sir is willing to come and teach a few naughty children?" Lin Yifan was overjoyed when he heard that, he turned out to be a teacher with work experience. That would be great. He lied to him and arranged for him to work in education when he returned to Hengshan County.

"Ah?" Guo Huaili was taken aback for a moment, then ecstatically, stood up hastily, trembling, and said, "I, I am willing. But I don't know if what the young master said is the truth?"

"Hehe, of course it's the truth. Mr. is a great talent. It's my dream to come to my humble job." Lin Yifan nodded in satisfaction.My heart is full of bullshit, I have one more scholar in the Hengshan County Government, and one more person to share the work.

"I have nothing to repay Dong Weng's kindness. How dare you not do your best?" Guo Huaili hastily expressed his loyalty and even changed his title.My heart is full of cattle, and I finally have a place to eat.

"Since the husband is willing to be the teacher of my family, how can he take care of him in this simple place? Let's go, let's find another tavern." In order to win over this scholar, Lin Yifan has spared no effort.

Just as the four of them were about to leave the tavern, Guo Huaili suddenly asked a bit embarrassed: "Dong, Dong Weng, I wonder if you can lend me some money first."

Seeing Guo Huaili's eyes cast towards the counter, Lin Yifan knew in his heart what he was going to do, so he said without hesitation: "What's this, take it, it's half a tael, it's a month's salary paid in advance." He took out a piece of broken silver and stuffed it into his hand.

Guo Huaili was moved inexplicably, Dong Weng actually trusted him so much.I was a little excited again, with a salary of half a tael a month, the salary was really not ordinary high. "Thank you Dong Weng."

Without further ado, Guo Huaili walked to the counter, put the money on it, cupped his hands and said, "Shopkeeper, I still owe you 29 Wen, and I will pay you back now."

The shopkeeper's face was slightly red, he forced a smile and cupped his hands in congratulations: "Hey, Guo Huai, Mr. Guo met a nobleman today. Congratulations. I'll give you some extra money." After saying that, he took the silver Said, and then counted out a large handful of copper coins to Guo Huaili, with an embarrassed smile on his face.

Guo Huaili took a little inventory, then nodded and said: "Shopkeeper, now you and I are in debt, so let's say goodbye."

"Go slowly, come again next time!" The shopkeeper nodded and bowed, and shouted enthusiastically.

Guo Huaili ignored him, looked back at the people inside, and cupped his hands, "Everyone, there will be no future."

After speaking, he followed Lin Yifan and others to leave the tavern and disappeared outside the store.Only the faces of the people in the tavern were filled with envy and hatred.
