  Chapter 1357 Old and scary

"Yizhitang? Xu Wenchang? I really haven't heard of it." After thinking about it for a while, 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, and the news is blocked, and I If you are ignorant and ignorant, you can go inside and inquire about it."

   "Thank you, shopkeeper." Zhu Pingan cupped his hands in thanks.

  Next, Zhu Pingan and Liu Dadao searched along Wenhua Street and asked two more shops, but they both said that they had never heard of Yizhitang Private School, nor Xu Wei and Xu Wenchang.

   "Misunderstanding?"

Zhu Pingan couldn't help feeling a little suspicious, then took out the half of the calligraphy and painting from his arms, and confirmed the date of inscription, it was indeed the day before yesterday. According to Chu Xiong's words, Xu Wei distributed the calligraphy and painting the day before yesterday to promote Yizhitang Private School, and it must still be in Yingtian now. , it is impossible to leave so soon.

  Zhu Ping'an thought for a while, and felt that Xu Wei's fame was still limited to his hometown in Shaoxing, and he was not so famous in Yingtian Mansion, otherwise he wouldn't have recruited students by distributing calligraphy and paintings. It is precisely because of the lack of reputation that these shopkeepers have never heard of Yizhitang Private School and Xu Wei.

   "Da Dao, let's look for it carefully."

  Therefore, Zhu Pingan cheered up and took Liu Dadao to carefully search for Yizhitang and Xu Wei in Wenhua Street.

  Walking over and back again.

Zhu Pingan and Liu Dadao walked back and forth on Wenhua Street, carefully searched all the shops and houses on both sides of the street twice, and did not miss any one, but they still did not find any traces of Yizhitang Private School and Xu Wei. No one has ever heard of Yizhitang private school and Xu Wei.

   It is impossible for Xu Wei to disappear from the world! So there is a high probability that Chu Xiong made a mistake? !

  Zhu Ping'an stood on the street of Wenhua Street, stretched out his hands and rubbed his forehead, and reorganized his thoughts.

  Perhaps, Chu Xiong did not make a mistake, but he himself did.

The fact that Chu Xiong met Xu Wei on Wenhua Street to distribute calligraphy and paintings to promote Yizhitang private school does not mean that Xu Wei opened Yizhitang private school on Wenhua Street. I just came here to distribute calligraphy and paintings for publicity.

Zhu Pingan asked about the rent of shops in Wenhua Street. Since Wenhua Street is a mature street with a thriving business, the rent is nearly half that of Zuo Zuo Street. This is not counting the transfer fee and the considerable amount of taxes and so on. After understanding the cost of opening a store in Wenhua Street, Zhu Ping'an was able to confirm what he had just thought. Xu Wei's Yizhitang private school is not opened in Wenhua Street, but in other nearby streets.

  Zhu Ping'an understood Xu Wei's character. Xu Wei was a proud person. After being selected as a scholar at the age of 20, he has been persistently taking the provincial examination, but he has not been able to pass the exam. The reason why he opened a private school in Yingtianfu was a compromise he made to earn a living. Judging from his current economic conditions, he would definitely not choose the cultural street with such a high cost, but choose a nearby place with cheap rent. street.

   "Da Dao, let's go around."

  Thinking of this, Zhu Pingan took Liu Dadao to the nearby streets to continue searching for Xu Wei and Xu Wenchang.

  Zhu Ping'an's first choice is Pichai Street, which is close to Wenhua Street. Unlike Wenhua Street, Pichai Street is a bazaar street. The reason why Pichai Street is called Pichai Street is because this street used to be a place where countrymen picked up firewood from the east gate to sell it.

  This street is relatively noisy and chaotic, and the living environment is not as good as other streets such as Wenhua Street. The people who live there are middle and lower classes. The rent of shops and houses on both sides of the street is more than half of that of Wenhua Street.

  Zhu Ping'an inquired about it. Pichai Street is the cheapest one among several nearby streets. In addition, Xu Wei is now a scholar, and he has failed in many provincial examinations. He is not very well-known in Yingtian Mansion, and his private school can only attract the middle and lower classes.

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

   Sure enough, Zhu Pingan and Liu Dadao searched and asked people on this street, and found out about Xu Wei's Yizhitang private school after walking halfway.

"What, you are looking for a private school in Yizhitang. I really want to hear about it somewhere." After being asked by Zhu Pingan, a peddler selling sesame oil scratched his head and thought, "Oh, I remembered, there is There is a new private school recently opened in a dark alley, it seems to be called Yizhitang."

   "Thank you, little brother." Zhu Pingan was overjoyed upon hearing that.

  Following the instructions of the oil seller, Zhu Pingan took Liu Dadao to this dark alley.

  The alley has no name.

  It is said to be dark and dark, but it is exaggerated, but the alleys are relatively closed and narrow, and the light is worse than that of the main street.

   Surprisingly, Zhu Ping'an and Liu Dadao walked into the alley and searched around, but they didn't find a private school

   "Master, I'll ask you, is Yizhitang private school here?"

   Zhu Ping'an met an old man in the alley, and asked the old man about the Yizhitang private school.

   "Yizhitang private school, not far in front, the seventh house from here, the one with a crooked neck tree at the door, there is no plaque, it is shared, he rented two of the houses."

  The old man answered Zhu Pingan's question.

   "Thank you, sir." Zhu Pingan cupped his hands in thanks.

   "Young student, you don't want to send your baby to Yizhitang private school in Laoshizi, do you?" Seeing that Zhu Pingan understands etiquette, and thinking of the things about Yizhitang private school, the old man couldn't help asking kindly.

   "Yeah." Before Zhu Ping'an could speak, the old man continued, "If you want to send your child to him for education, I'd advise you to think it over."

Uh? !

  Judging from the tone of the old man, it seems that he has a bad sense of Yizhitang private school, so he kindly dissuaded himself? !

  Zhu Ping'an couldn't help being stunned, "Old man, Yizhitang Private School"

   "Young student, it depends on your etiquette, so I kindly remind you that it's better not to send it to this private school."

  The old man shook his head.

   "Old man, I would like to hear more about it." Zhu Pingan cupped his hands.

   "The master of this private school, Er Wulang, is unreliable." The old man waved his hand and reminded Zhu Ping'an.

  Erwulangdang is the local dialect of Yingtianfu. It means bad-headed and neurotic, and it means Erbaiwujia crazy. Hearing the old man's description, Zhu Ping'an couldn't help but twitched his lips.

"Really, my house is not far from the house he rented, only one house away. The master surnamed Xu in Yizhitang private school often screams and howls at night. It's scary. Normal people would do such things Ah. Also, how could he look like a master? The day before yesterday I saw him sitting on the ground, having a good chat with a firewood seller. "

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