Gou becomes a boss in the fairy world.

Chapter 1461: Tempering the Heart in the Mortal World (V)

"Mr. Wang, great joy!"

Looking at the shrewd old lady in front of him and hearing her exaggerated tone, there was a hint of weirdness in Wang Chen's eyes.

This uninvited guest was a matchmaker, and she was known to be the best matchmaker in Qing'an County and the annual sales champion.

Wang Chen really didn't expect that a matchmaker would come to his house.

Seeing that Wang Chen was indifferent to her words and did not respond at all, the matchmaker surnamed Wang felt a little embarrassed.

But she was extremely thick-skinned and continued calmly, "Do you know? Chen Fugui, a wealthy man from the west of the city, has chosen you and is willing to take you as his son-in-law. You will have endless blessings in the future!"

Wang Chen's expression became even more strange, and he couldn't help asking, "You mean, his family wants me to be a son-in-law?"

"That's right!"

Grandma Wang said with a smile: "Mr. Chen has only one daughter. He has treated her like the apple of his eye since she was little. Naturally, he is reluctant to let her marry out."

"Don't think it's bad to be a live-in son-in-law..."

She encouraged him with her eloquent voice: "Mr. Chen said that if you are willing to come, he can give you two shops and a rice shop, and the big house at home can accommodate dozens of people. If you give birth to a child in the future, only half of it will be changed to a surname."

"Only half!"

"With such conditions, there are countless people in the county who want to come to your house, but Mr. Chen chose you!"

This old lady Wang looked like she had made a fortune, which made Wang Chen laugh. "I am not lucky enough to enjoy such a good thing. Go back and tell Mr. Chen to thank him for his kindness."

Wang Po obviously didn't expect that even with all her extravagant words and all her power of persuasion, she couldn't make Wang Chen hesitate at all.

"Mr. Wang, this is..."

"please."

Wang Chen simply served the guest tea and sent him away, not wanting to waste any more time arguing with him.

Wang Po was met with a cold shoulder and had to leave in a huff, cursing as she left the house.

As soon as the matchmaker left, Wang Chen put down his teacup and said calmly, "Come in, what are you doing sneaking around outside?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Yijian walked in with a face full of shame, bowed and said, "Teacher."

Wang Chen looked at his first student and smiled, "What do you want to say?"

The other party looked as if he wanted to say something but hesitated, and it was obvious that he had something hidden in his mind.

Chen Yijian swallowed his saliva and said quickly, "Teacher, please don't be fooled by that old lady Wang. Everyone knows Chen Fugui from the west of the city. His daughter is eight feet tall and has an eight-foot waist. She also likes to wield spears and sticks. People on the street call her Chen Ba Chi!"

Ba Chi Chen!
Wang Chen had never heard of it before: "Is it so amazing?"

"Ah."

Chen Yijian nodded vigorously: "Chen Bachi is already 25 years old this year, and she is still not married!"

It really is a sinkhole!
Wang Chen smiled and said, "I know. I won't be fooled. Go and get busy."

Now the school prepares lunch for students every day. Rice, grain, oil and salt are purchased by Wang Chen, and students bring their own pickled vegetables and bacon, and then they cook for themselves.

Wang Chen asked Chen Yijian to be in charge of this matter. Apart from the regular purchase of grain and oil, he was not responsible for anything else.

And Chen Yijian did not disappoint his expectations at all. This poor boy with the spirit of a snake and a python soon showed his talent and managed his fellow schoolmates in an orderly manner.

Since he can now have a full meal every day and some meat from time to time, the boy has grown a head taller in the past six months and is no longer as skinny as before!

Although he was still poor, he changed into a set of coarse cloth clothes, which gave him a hint of masculine spirit.

"Yes."

Chen Yijian bowed respectfully to Wang Chen and then walked out.

Wang Chen looked at his departing back and touched his chin thoughtfully.

There are many talented people in the community, and among the fifty students currently enrolled in Wang's Academy, Chen Yijian is undoubtedly the most outstanding one.

He has a very strong learning ability. He was the first to finish learning the "Thousand Character Classic" and the first to master the basic martial arts taught by Wang Chen. He has a strong will and a persevering temperament, and he studies very hard.

Although the other dozens of students were far inferior, there were a few who stood out.

What’s interesting is that these students’ level of faith in Chen Yijian is second only to Wang Chen, and they have become the former’s younger brothers!

Wang Chen did not interfere in this regard.

But what he didn't expect was that after he rejected Wang Po, Zhang Po and Sun Po came to his house one after another to act as matchmakers.

Wang Chen was a little puzzled. How could he, who was teaching in a very low-key manner in Tongluo Lane, suddenly become a hot shot in the blind date market?

It was not until the innkeeper, who was familiar with him, came to visit that Wang Chen found out the whole story.

It turned out that just half a month ago, Yu Heqian, the magistrate of Qing'an County, somehow found out about Wang Chen's affairs, and praised him as a "role model for scholars."

Many people thought that Wang Chen had been favored by the county magistrate and might have the opportunity to work as an official in the government, which naturally made him a potential stock.

The most important thing is that Wang Chen has never been married and is an outsider with no relatives or friends. He is also a young scholar who opened a private school in the city. Even if he is a bit spendthrift, it proves that he has considerable family wealth.

Even with such conditions, he is already far superior to many commoners' children in the county.

It is normal for matchmakers to come in droves.

"Mr. Wang, if you don't mind, I can help you find a suitable family."

The innkeeper advised sincerely: "You have been in Qing'an County for more than a year. It is time for you to start a family and a career."

What he was worried about was that Wang Chen would reject all these matchmakers, which would easily lead to gossip and even rumors.

Wang Chen thought about it, nodded and said, "Then I'll trouble you, shopkeeper."

The innkeeper smiled and said, "It's not a bother, not at all. I just don't know if you have any requests, sir?"

Wang Chen said calmly: "Just be gentle and virtuous."

To temper one's mind in this mortal world, one needs to live an ordinary life. If one does not get married, have children, and have children, then it is definitely not complete.

Before returning to the Mountain and Sea Realm, Wang Chen had already prepared himself mentally.

The innkeeper accepted the task of matchmaking and left happily.

Wang Chen took the fishing rod and net bag, then rode his big black donkey to the Qingshui River outside the city to fish.

In the past year, he would go fishing in the Qingshui River every afternoon, rain or shine.

No matter how big or small the fish are, they are brought back and kept in large tanks and used as snacks for the students the next day.

River fish is not as good as pork, beef or mutton, but it is also meat and contains a lot of nutrition.

The donkey's hooves clattered as it stepped on the bluestone slabs all the way out of the city gate, took the official road and then turned into a small path, and soon arrived at the riverside.

At this time, the autumn weather was clear and the breeze was not dry. Willows were swaying on both sides of the river bank. Wang Chen chose a spot to sit, set a bait, and cast his rod to fish.

Just waiting for the fish to bite.
