"Ichisedo? Xu Wenchang? I really haven't heard of it. After thinking seriously for a moment again, the shopkeeper shook his head with certainty, and said truthfully, "Of course, it is also possible that the small shop is close to the street, the news is closed, and I am lonely and unheard, so the son can go inside to inquire." ”

"Thank you, shopkeeper." Zhu Ping'an thanked him.

Next, Zhu Ping'an and Liu Dadao searched along the cultural street, and asked two shops one after another, but they both said that they had not heard of Yizhitang Private School, nor had they heard of Xu Wei and Xu Wenchang.

"Mistaken?"

Zhu Ping'an couldn't help but have some doubts, and then took out the half of the calligraphy and painting from his arms, and confirmed the date of payment, it was indeed the day before yesterday, according to Chu Xiong's words, Xu Wei distributed calligraphy and paintings to promote Yizhitang Private School the day before yesterday, and now it must still be in Yingtian, and it is impossible to leave so soon.

Zhu Ping'an thought about it, and felt that Xu Wei's fame was still limited to his hometown in Shaoxing, and his fame in Yingtianfu was not so great, otherwise he would not have recruited students by distributing calligraphy and paintings. It is precisely because of the lack of fame that these shopkeepers have never heard of Yizhitang Private School and Xu Wei.

"Broadsword, let's look for it carefully."

So, Zhu Ping'an cheered up and took Liu Dadao to carefully search for Yizhitang and Xu Wei in Cultural Street.

Walked over, walked back again.

Zhu Ping'an and Liu Dadao walked back and forth on Wenhua Street, carefully searched the shops and houses on both sides of the street twice, and did not miss any of them, but still did not find any trace of Yizhitang Private School and Xu Wei.

Xu Wei can't evaporate from the world! So there is a high probability that Chu Xiong made a mistake?!

Zhu Ping'an stood on the street of Culture Street, stretched out his hand and rubbed his head, and sorted out his thoughts anew.

Perhaps, Chu Xiong is not mistaken, he is mistaken.

Chu Xiong met Xu Wei in the Cultural Street to distribute calligraphy and paintings to promote a private school, it does not mean that Xu Wei opened a private school in the Cultural Street, Xu Wei may have opened a private school near the Cultural Street, but the flow of people in the Cultural Street is relatively large, so Xu Wei came here to distribute calligraphy and paintings for publicity.

Zhu Ping'an inquired about the rent of the shops on the Cultural Street, because the Cultural Street is a mature and prosperous street, the rent is nearly half more expensive than the left and right streets, and the rent of a shop of about 30 square meters costs eight taels of silver a year, not counting the transfer fee and a lot of taxes. After understanding the cost of opening a store in Wenhua Street, Zhu Ping'an can already determine Fang Cai's thoughts. Xu Wei's Yizhitang private school was not opened in Wenhua Street, but in other nearby streets.

Zhu Ping'an understands Xu Wei's personality, Xu Wei is an arrogant person, after winning the Xiucai at the age of 20, he has been persevering in the township examination, but he has not been able to win. The reason why he opened a private school in Yingtianfu was a compromise to make a living in order to make a living, and judging from his current economic conditions, he would definitely not choose such a costly cultural street, but a nearby street with cheap rent.

"Dadao, let's go around the neighborhood."

Thinking of this, Zhu Ping'an took Liu Dadao to the nearby street to continue to search for Xu Wei and Xu Wenchang.

Zhu Ping'an's first choice is Pichai Street, which is adjacent to Cultural Street, which is different from Cultural Street, which is a bazaar street. The reason why Pichai Street is called Pichai Street is because this street used to be a place where villagers picked firewood from the East Gate to sell, and later slowly developed into a farmer's street selling firewood, agricultural goods, vegetables, etc.

This street is noisy and chaotic, the living environment is not as good as that of the streets such as Culture Street, the people living in the middle and lower classes are all living in the middle and lower classes, and the rents of shops and houses on both sides of the street are more than half cheaper than those of Culture Street.

Zhu Ping'an inquired, and Pichai Street was the cheapest of the nearby streets. In addition, Xu Wei is now a showman, and he has been named Sun Shan in the township examination many times, and he is not too famous in Yingtianfu, and the objects that his private school can only attract are the middle and lower classes.

Therefore, Zhu Ping'an deduced that Xu Wei's Yizhitang private school was most likely opened on this street.

Sure enough, Zhu Ping'an and Liu Dadao asked people on this street, and only halfway through walking, they heard the news of Xu Wei's private school.

"What, you're looking for a private school...... I really want to hear of it...... A vendor selling sesame oil in the streets and alleys scratched his head and thought about it after being asked by Zhu Ping'an, "Oh, I remember, there is a small alley in front of me that has recently opened a new private school, it seems to be called Yizhitang." ”

"Thank you, little brother." Zhu Ping'an was overjoyed when he heard this.

Following the guidance of the oil seller, Zhu Ping'an took Liu Dadao to this dark alley.

The alley is nameless.

It is said that it is dark and black, but it is actually an exaggeration, but the alleys are more closed and narrow, and the light is worse than that of the main street.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Ping'an and Liu Dadao walked into the alley to look around, but they didn't find a private school......

"Uncle, let me ask you, is Yizhitang Private School here?"

Zhu Ping'an met an old man in the alley, so he asked the old man about the news of Yizhitang's private school.

"Yizhitang private school, not far ahead, from this number seven, there is a crooked neck tree at the door, how can there be any plaque, it is shared, he rented two of the houses."

The old man answered Zhu Ping'an's questions.

"Thank you, uncle." Zhu Ping'an thanked him.

"Housheng, you don't want to send the baby to Laoshizi Yizhitang Private School to study, right?" The old man saw that Zhu Ping'an understood etiquette, and when he thought of the things in Yizhitang's private school, he couldn't help but ask kindly.

"Well......" Before Zhu Ping'an could speak, the old man spoke again, "If you want to send your baby to him to study, I still advise you to think about it." ”

Belch?!

Listening to the tone of the old man, it seems that he has a bad sense of the private school of Yizhitang, and he kindly dissuades himself?!

Zhu Ping'an couldn't help but be stunned, "Old man, Yizhitang private school ......"

"Housheng, seeing that you know the number of etiquette, I kindly remind you that it is better not to give this branch of private school."

The old man shook his head.

"Old man, I would like to hear about it." Zhu Ping'an arched his hand.

"The master of this branch hall private school, Ergoro...... Unreliable......" The old man waved his hand and reminded Zhu Ping'an.

Ergolang is the local dialect of Yingtianfu, which means bad mind and nervousness, and it means two hundred and five plus neurosis. Hearing the old man's description, Zhu Ping'an couldn't help but pull the corners of his mouth.

"Really, my house is not far from the house he rented, just one family away. The master surnamed Xu in Yizhitang's private school often howls at night, and he is always scary, normal people would do this kind of thing. The day before yesterday, I saw him sitting on the ground, chatting happily with a firewood seller, and the two of them sat on the ground, and they drank with fried soybeans, and they were very drunk......"

The old man was afraid that Zhu Ping'an would not believe it, so he deliberately cited two typical examples to prove that Xu Wei was abnormal......
