Chapter 215 Combining work and rest
Wen Yue sorted out her thoughts and then said:
"I heard from my father that he was born into an ordinary family in Lifeng Town, and he was very smart since he was a child. Later, his father died on the battlefield, and his mother also died in childbirth. The people in the Yamen accepted him because they thought he was quite spiritual. Become a government servant."
"Because he is very observant and can make good friends with people in the yamen, even our four major families have extended an olive branch to him. Therefore, he is like a fish in water in Lifeng County. After making a lot of money, he He went to a bigger country to do business and has not been heard from since."
"When he returned to Li Feng Town again, it was already ten years later. According to dad, on that day he wore a suit of brocade clothes, took two guards on the martial arts list, went straight to the yamen, and found the members of our four major families. people."
"In order to thank us for our help to him, he helped the four major families build this Treasure Pavilion with money. Every year, this Treasure Pavilion brings countless profits to the four major families."
Lin Xiaofan was a little shocked when he heard this.
No wonder people dare to blatantly auction internal energy skills. I am afraid that the power under his command has far exceeded that of this famous family in Daqian.
But what shocked him even more was this person's ability. He came from an ordinary background, but in this era, with his own abilities, he has achieved a level that makes the entire Daqian Kingdom look up to him.
I just don’t know when I will be able to become that big.
"Dang...dang...dang..."
The ancient bell rang from downstairs and echoed throughout the hall.
Everyone present looked down.
"Master, today seems to be an auction once a month. Should we go and take a look?"
When Wen Yue heard the sound of the bell, there was a hint of excitement in her eyes.
In this auction, some beautiful treasures often appear, and these are her favorites.
auction?
Lin Xiaofan's eyes lit up. He also wanted to see what this auction was like.
"it is good."
The auction house was downstairs, and the two of them walked down the stone stairs.
"Master, if you want to enter this auction house, you need to pay a venue fee of five taels of silver, even if you are a member of the four major families. The annual auction requires a venue fee of twenty taels of silver."
Five taels of silver.
Lin Xiaofan looked around and saw dozens of people walking down alone.
The venue fee for this auction alone is estimated to be thousands of taels of silver.
When we reach the bottom, two handymen are guarding here, and they can only be released after paying the venue fee.
"Oh, Miss Wen is here. By chance, there is still an empty seat in the second row of the auction house. I wonder who this is?"
On the side, a man dressed as a housekeeper came over and looked at Lin Xiaofan standing aside with a smile.
"This is my master, Lin Xiaofan."
Wen Yue's introduction made the housekeeper stunned for a moment.
When did Wen Yue have a master? And he looks young, only sixteen or seventeen years old.
Lin Xiaofan...
He thought about it in his mind for a moment and finally remembered.
"Oh, this is Counselor Lin, right? Don't blame me for being a young man who can't see the truth. Sir, you can choose the location of this auction as you please."
The butler quickly apologized and smiled.
Counselor Lin is something the manager has mentioned emphatically. If he comes, he must be taken care of.
I was blinded for a moment and didn't recognize it.
Lin Xiaofan waved his hand and entered the venue directly.
The entire venue is stepped, with thousands of chairs placed on the steps. Perhaps because it is underground, the overall environment is a bit dark, except for the auction table in the center which is very bright.
At this time, many people were already sitting on the chairs.
Under Wen Yue's leadership, Lin Xiaofan sat directly in the second row.
"Master, this second row is a VIP seat. If there are many people, even us juniors from the four major families can only go up to the fourth row. As for the first row, it is not open to the public under normal circumstances. Generally, Only the most important figures in the country can take the seat."
Wenyue spoke.
Lin Xiaofan glanced around. Maybe it was still early, but they were the only two people sitting in the second row.
Three or four rows behind them, there were several well-dressed people sitting.
"Wenyue, as your master, I naturally want to teach you something. I wonder which aspect you are more interested in?"
There was nothing to do at this time, so Lin Xiaofan thought about asking first what to teach Wenyue in the future.
He had a bit of a headache about this.
Although I have lived two lives, I have no experience as a teacher. Moreover, they are half-baked in many aspects and cannot be taught much.
"Ah? Are you going to teach me now?"
When Wen Yue heard this, there was some surprise in her eyes.
Normally when a master accepts a disciple, he first works as a slave for three to five years. After three to five years, if I like you, I will teach you something.
If you encounter a master with a bad personality, you may not be able to teach anything in your life.
But Lin Xiaofan, who had only been a disciple for one day, wanted to teach her something.
"What? Don't you have nothing to do now? Or is there something wrong now?"
Lin Xiaofan didn't understand what Wen Yue meant. Is it possible that this is not how the disciples are taught?
Or should I say that it would be too casual for me to teach in this situation.
"No no."
Wen Yue shook her head hurriedly and explained hesitantly:
"It's just that I feel that it's a bit against the rules for me to just learn things without doing anything for the master."
Only then did Lin Xiaofan realize that he had forgotten that there were many rules in this era, and he immediately explained:
"In our lineage, there aren't that many rules. My master started teaching me things on the first day I entered the school."
This was indeed the case when I was on Blue Star in my previous life. On the first day you enter school, you start learning knowledge.
"Master, I want to learn the art of war."
Wen Yue stopped being pretentious and kept this kindness silently in her heart, waiting to repay it slowly in the future.
"art of war?"
Lin Xiaofan was a little surprised.
After all, Wenyue was born as a girl, and she looked and dressed very quietly. She didn't look like someone who was used to attacking at all.
"I wonder how much you have learned about the art of war?"
Lin Xiaofan asked first. If the other party knows more, it's really not easy to fool him.
"I have read the four major art of war books hundreds of times. I understand a little about the contents. There are also other art of war books, and I have read hundreds of them."
Wen Yue's face was filled with humility.
When Lin Xiaofan heard this, his pupils opened slightly.
You have read the four major art of war dozens of times and hundreds of books on the art of war. Come to ask me about the art of war?
He has also been studying recently, so he has heard of the Four Great Art of War, which were written by the sages of this world.
Those sages were all astonishing talents during their lifetimes. They commanded hundreds of battles, and finally wrote down what they learned throughout their lives in the art of war for future generations.
Wen Yue has read it hundreds of times and is almost done studying it. Coupled with the assistance of hundreds of art of war books, is this level not better than that of him who has only read Sun Tzu's Art of War twice?
When Wen Yue saw that Lin Xiaofan didn't speak, she thought she was a little dissatisfied with her as an apprentice, so she lowered her head in shame.
"Master, I was occasionally lazy before, so I didn't study well. But in the future, I will work harder."
