Chapter 175: Studying Books and Wanting to Apprentice

Day, early in the morning.

Just after breakfast, Su Chen led Su An, together with Du Zigui, inquired all the way, and came to Lao Liu's house in Gutian Village.

Standing in front of Lao Liu's house, looking at the current situation in the courtyard of Lao Liu's house, the three of them couldn't help frowning. It's too small, too simple, too broken, and there's a faint smell of cow dung in the whole courtyard.

Looking at the more than two dozen ploughing cattle squeezing around in the cow tent in the courtyard, Su Chen and Du Zhigui were speechless for a while.

How could a generation of calligraphy masters, the saviors of the Queen Mother and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince live in such a place?

Du Zhigui pursed his lips disdainfully, no matter how famous he is, he has no money, and he is not a poor man, he used to say that Liu Yiyi was a farmer, which is really true.

And Su Chen was thinking, is this the real reason why Mr. Liu is greedy for money and business? If so, that's understandable.

"All three, please sit down, Liu doesn't have so many rules for the mansion here, let's just be casual." Liu Yiyi sat in the main hall seat facing the entrance of the hall, and said to Su Chen and Du Zhigui with a chuckle.

"Mr. Liu, please." Su Chen and Du Zhigui bowed their hands to Liu Yiyi in unison, and then sat down beside him. Su An was still standing behind Su Chen as always.

Liu Yiyi glanced up at the old man behind Su Chen who looked very energetic, and wanted to invite him to sit down, but when he thought of the rules of this era, he endured it again. He looked up at Su Chen and asked him, "Brother Su, I haven't seen you for a while, why do you have time to come to a small place like Sanyuan?" Su Dasi Nongqing, has his old man arrived? ”

"Mr. Lao Liu is worried, only the younger brother came this time." Su Chen put down the tea bowl he had just picked up. Xiang Liu Yiyi said: "And the little brother is here this time." I just want to ask Mr. Liu for advice in person, and I hope that Mr. Liu can teach me. ”

Didn't you come to seek medical treatment again?

Liu Yiyi raised his eyebrows and said to Su Chen, "Oh? I don't know why? Please also ask Brother Su to explain in detail. ”

"Chen wants to worship Mr. as a teacher. Learn Naliu's calligraphy with Mr., and hope that Mr. will be able to accept the morning. With that, Su Chen stood up, respectfully saluted Liu Yiyi, and looked up at Liu Yiyi, his eyes were very longing.

Du Zhigui glanced at Su Chen in surprise. Is this what he came from Chang'an? Worship a farmer as a teacher? Du Zhigui didn't understand it, and even scoffed at it.

Liu Yiyi is indeed very famous and talented, but his identity is still a farmer and a businessman, how can anyone be willing to worship him as a teacher?

"Apprentice? Hehe. Brother Su laughed. Liu Yiyi shook his head, chuckled and refused: "Not to mention that Liu has no intention of accepting apprentices, even if there is, Liu does not dare to accept Su Sinong's precious grandson as an apprentice." You know, Liu's head. But there is also a businessman's hat, if it affects Brother Su's career, Old Man Su will not come to fight with Liu. ”

After speaking, Liu Yiyi took a sip of the tea bowl, looked at Su Chen's somewhat disappointed little face, and then said: "However, if Brother Su is willing, when he is free, Liu doesn't mind studying Liu's calligraphy with Brother Su." ”

As the saying goes, strange goods can be lived, but if he taught Su Chen, or some other people this Liu calligraphy, there are more people who know how to write, and there are more people who write, will this matter gradually become dull, and he can save a lot of trouble.

A surge of joy rose in Su Chen's chest, and Liu Yiyi said this, wouldn't it be equivalent to being willing to teach him Liu's calligraphy?

"In this way, Chen Zizi can't ask for it!" Such a good opportunity, a fool would be willing to miss it, Su Chen hurriedly bent down to respond.

"Well, then it's decided, when you have free time, Brother Su just comes to find Liu, and Liu must know everything." Liu Yiyi nodded, then stood up, confessed to Su Chen and Du Zhigui, and walked out of the living room.

Outside the gate, he saw Li Dechen looking inward.

"Uncle Li, why are you here at this time?" Liu Yiyi walked to the door and asked Li Dechen, shouldn't this old man still be digging a well in the field at this time? Why did you have the leisure to get here? Isn't there something going on in the ground?

"The owner, that's the case," Li Dechen bent over and replied: "The drainage pipes you asked to dig have a rough prototype, so the little old man wants to ask the owner to come over and have a look, if there is no problem, we will start laying wood and stone to consolidate its form." ”

"Hmm," Liu Yiyi nodded his head, calculating the excavation time, it has been two days, and it is normal to dig this degree. He looked at Li Dechen, waved his hand at him and said, "Liu will go in a while, and Uncle Li will go back first." ”

"Yes, the owner, the little old man will retire first." Li Dechen saluted Liu Yiyi, and then turned around and went to the west.

Liu Yiyi looked at it

Sitting in the living room, the two sons and brothers stood in the courtyard and thought for a while before returning to the house, arching their hands, and said to Su Chen and Du Zhigui with a smile: "I am entangled in mundane things, and Liu is afraid that he will not be able to accompany the two here." I wonder if the two of you are interested in going to Liu's field with Liu to have a look? ”

Although this is a bit rude, Liu Yiyi also doesn't want to delay his farming plan in order to accompany these sons.

"Of course! If Mr. Liu doesn't mind. To the surprise of Liu Yiyi and Du Zhigui, Su Chen actually agreed, when he went out with his grandfather in the past, he didn't run to the fields a lot, so Su Chen didn't care much about these.

Although Su Chen didn't care, Du Zhigui was a little unhappy, he had grown so big, where had he ever seen such hospitality? It was also a shame for him to think of bringing the guests to the field. Looking at Liu Yiyi's smiling face with a faint smile, Du Zhigui had a feeling of being despised by others.

However, his purpose today was to accompany Su Chen, a distinguished guest, and since Su Chen had agreed, he didn't have much to say, but nodded at Liu Yiyi gloomily, which was considered to be accepted.

"Not bad!" Liu Yiyi looked at Su Chen, who had a calm face, and the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked. This boy is very good.

From the beginning of the General's Mansion to the present, he has a good feeling for Liu Yi. is not arrogant or boring, he also has a mind and measurements, and he does not have the condescending spirit of ordinary noble sons, then Old Man Su is quite good at raising his grandson.

"Without further ado, let's go now." Liu Yiyi nodded at them slightly, and then took the lead out of the living room. personally drove the carriage that Du Zhigui and the others drove when they came, and went to the fields in the west of the village together.

Following Li Dechen's heels, Liu Yiyi drove the carriage to the ground.

"Boss, you're here." Seeing this, Li Dechen hurriedly stepped forward to help hold the horses, and helped Liu Yiyi and Su Chen to get out of the car.

The group stood still at the head of the field, looking at the more than 100 tenant farmers who were busy in the fields.

"The owner," Li Dechen fixed the carriage, and then leaned in front of Liu Yiyi, and said softly: "The pipes of each group and each field have been dug up, please take a look at the owner, if the owner thinks it is okay, then the little old man will lead people to start forming." ”

"Well," Liu Yiyi nodded his head as he walked deep into the field, these tenant farmers are still quite smart, and although the pipes dug out are of different shapes, there is no doubt that they are the most reasonable drainage and irrigation routes.

"Uncle Li," Liu Yiyi beckoned to Li Dechen and instructed, "Just build it like this, let's get started." ”

"Yes, the owner, the little old man will order it to go down." Li Dechen answered, and bent away.

At this time, Liu Yiyi also walked to a half-finished well and checked the progress of the tenant farmers in digging the well.

"Huh?!" Su Chen saw the farm tools in the hands of the tenant farmers in the well pit, and softly wondered, what is this? How come you've never seen it? And dig so fast?

Su Chen couldn't help but glance at Liu Yiyi, and couldn't help but think of his 'Liu's plow' a while ago, could it be that this is another new type of farm tool?

"Mr. Liu," after looking at it for a long time, Su Chen finally couldn't help but ask Liu Yiyi, "I don't know what the thing digging the well below is?" Can you give it a try in the morning? ”

"Oh?" Liu Yiyi looked at Su Chen in surprise, this Su Chenguo is different, few noble sons will be interested in this kind of thing, worthy of being the descendant of Dasi Nongqing, Liu Yiyi unconsciously remembered the Su Lao'er who caused him to lose his plow.

"Of course," Liu Yiyi agreed, this shovel is not as expensive as the Quyuan plow, the cost is high, it is not easy to promote, and the structure is simple, easy to imitate, and Liu Yiyi has no intention of getting rich by relying on it, so there is no such thing as keeping it secret.

Stretched out his hand to borrow the shovel from the tenant farmer, handed it to Su Chen and said: "The name of this thing is called the shovel, it is a kind of thing, suitable for planing, picking, and digging, Brother Su Chen, please." ”

"Shovel?" Su Chen took it with both hands and looked up and down, it was really as its name suggested, the entire noodle was made of pig iron.

Seeing this, Su Chen couldn't help but be a little disappointed in his heart, such things are good, but they must be extremely valuable, even if they are made, not everyone can afford to use them.

Su Chen followed the appearance of the tenant farmer just now, leaning on the pole with both hands, kicking the shovel with his left foot, and with a little force, the whole side was so easily smashed to the ground.

This, Su Chen looked at the small pit that he dug out in disbelief, and thought in his heart, this, is it still it? ——

Lin Hua thanked Chunhong, too hurried, helpless to come to the cold rain and late wind.

Rouge tears, stay drunk, when is it heavy? Since people grow and hate the water, they grow and hate the water!
