The Imperial College is the palace in the hearts of all scholars, and most of the officials in Daxia came from it.
Chen Hao was naturally yearning for it. Hearing that the Imperial College was coming here to select candidates, Chen Hao started making various preparations half a year ago.
If the people in the Imperial College heard the rumor that he was teasing his sister-in-law, they would definitely not choose him.
Because what Daxia values most is personal reputation.
At that time, I am afraid that not only will I not be able to enter the Imperial Academy, I will not even be able to pass the imperial examination.
Then the books I have read for more than ten years have been in vain.
"Chen Fan, don't mess around. You and Hao'er grew up together as cousins. You can't ignore brotherly love!"
"Chen Fan, we are all members of the Chen family. This is all a misunderstanding."
Chen Hao's parents also stood up nervously and said.
Naturally, they understand the stakes involved.
After saying that, she took the people away. Although grandma was unwilling to do so, she had no choice but to give up.
Looking at the Chen family who were starting to end but ending, Chen Fan showed a hint of disdain in his eyes.
The two sisters immediately cheered.
"My husband is awesome. He really scared us sisters to death just now. I didn't expect that my husband resolved the crisis with just a few words."
The two sisters said with a smile.
Chen Fan looked at the two sisters with a wicked smile and said, "The meeting will be even better later."
The two sisters naturally understood what Chen Fan meant, and their pretty faces immediately turned red with embarrassment, which was very seductive.
Chen Fan couldn't bear it anymore, hugged the two sisters and went back to the room.
As the door closed, a faint sound soon came from inside.
…
In the afternoon.
Chen Fan looked at the two sisters beside him, who were already so tired that their blushing was not gone, and fell asleep from exhaustion, with a proud smile on his lips.
He put on his clothes and went out.
Chen Fan's purpose of going out was also very simple, that is, to make money, otherwise the two sisters would go hungry.
Soon Chen Fan arrived at Dongyang County.
At this time, the streets were busy with people coming and going. Chen Fan looked left and right, secretly looking for opportunities to make money.
He didn't believe it. The King of Soldiers who had traveled through time could still make money?
After walking around, Chen Fan stopped in front of a teahouse. At this time, many people gathered outside the teahouse.
I saw a storyteller in the teahouse, talking vividly.
The storyteller's skinny lips kept moving, telling each vivid story.
His fingers waved in the air, as if creating invisible pictures, outlining those fascinating plots.
When the storyteller narrates a gripping plot, people's breathing seems to stop and time seems to freeze.
And when the storyteller describes a funny plot, the teahouse will burst into laughter, like spring rain moistening things.
"Mr. Guo Hua is indeed the most famous storyteller in our country! His voice and demeanor are unmatched!"
Everyone praised him one after another.
Chen Fan had to say that this storyteller named Guo Hua was extremely skilled in language, and even he felt as if he was actually speaking.
But the only flaw is that the stories he told have no appeal to Chen Fan.
But the people in Daxia listened with gusto, and the tea drinkers inside kept praising him.
A storyteller can earn at least dozens of taels of silver.
This is already an extremely high salary in Daxia.
Suddenly, Chen Fan's eyes lit up and he thought of a business opportunity.
"Everyone, if you want to know what happened next, I will rest for a while and then talk to you."
When Guo Hua talked about the wonderful place, he suddenly stopped.
This caused everyone present to curse.
However, no one left because of the scolding. Everyone was waiting for Guo Hua's next plot.
Chen Fan took advantage of the people in the teahouse not paying attention and took the opportunity to come to Guo Hua's side.
"The storyteller you just said was so wonderful!"
Chen Fan started to flatter him as soon as they met.
Hearing what Chen Fan said, Guo Hua immediately showed a proud and proud look on his face.
But when he saw Chen Fan wearing patchwork clothes, Guo Hua had a touch of indifference on his face.
"Go and wait outside! I'll talk about it later."
After finishing speaking, the storyteller drank tea alone and didn't look at Chen Fan again.
Because he knew that a poor man like Chen Fan couldn't afford him a reward at all.
Chen Fan saw this and did not leave. He looked at Guo Hua with a smile on his lips.
"Although what the gentleman said was good, the story he told was too poor and did not attract me at all."
As soon as Chen Fan said these words, Guo Hua immediately put down the teacup in his hand and looked at Chen Fan with anger.
"What are you talking about? My story isn't engaging?"
"I have been familiar with Daxia's official and unofficial history, folklore, and literati's articles since I was a child. Even many of the widely circulated stories in Daxia are from my mouth."
"How dare you say that my story is not attractive? I see that you are clearly here to cause trouble. Get out of here, or I will have someone beat you out."
Guo Hua said with an angry look.
"Sir, don't worry. Listen to me tell you a story. Let's see whose story is better."
Chen Fan said with confidence.
Hearing Chen Fan's words, Guo Hua looked at Chen Fan with disdain. He didn't believe that Chen Fan could tell any good stories.
Comparing him with Chen Fan is simply an insult to him.
"You do not deserve……"
"Once upon a time there was a monkey that jumped out of a stone."
Guo Hua just wanted to say that Chen Fan was unworthy, but before he could finish speaking, Chen Fan spoke.
When he heard the first sentence of Chen Fan's story, Guo Hua was attracted and immediately shut up.
Chen Fan then told the story of Sun Wukong causing trouble in the Heavenly Palace.
Guo Hua listened with great interest, just like the audience just listened to his story.
Guo Hua didn't expect that there was such a magical story.
"Keep talking! After Monkey King proclaimed himself the Monkey King, what did the Jade Emperor do? Why did you stop and keep talking!"
Chen Fan stopped at the key point, and Guo Hua suddenly felt itchy.
Looking at Guo Hua's expectant eyes, Chen Fan showed a proud smile. His storytelling ability was not as good as Guo Hua's.
But the excitement of the story is by no means comparable to that of Guo Hua.
After all, this is a story passed down from five thousand years of civilization.
"How about we make a deal?"
"What deal?"
Guo Hua looked at Chen Fan doubtfully.
"I will tell you the story, and you will come on stage later to tell my story, and each of us will get half of the reward."
Chen Fan stated his purpose.
Hearing what Chen Fan said, Guo Hua thought for a while.
"No, the maximum is 37 points, I will give you 7 points..."
Hearing what Guo Hua said, Chen Fan immediately stood up and prepared to leave.
"Wait a moment."
Hearing this voice, a smile appeared on Chen Fan's lips.
"I will suffer a little loss! Half for each person."
Guo Hua said with a painful look on his face.
Only then did Chen Fan tell Guo Hua the next plot.
Chen Fan also kept an eye on it and did not tell all the plot. He only stopped when Sun Wukong was pressed under the Five Fingers Mountain.
After hearing what Chen Fan said about the plot, Guo Hua immediately walked up to the storytelling table eagerly.
When the people in the audience saw this, they immediately became quiet.
At this time, it was like a spotlight was shining on Guo Hua, and everyone's eyes were focused on him.
"Everyone, I will not tell you the story just now. I will tell you a new story."
After hearing Guo Hua's words, the people below immediately stopped working.
"Why didn't you tell me? You haven't told me the wonderful part yet! How can I sleep tonight if you ask me to do this!"
"What fun can a new story have? Let's continue telling the story just now!"
…
The people below expressed their dissatisfaction, but Guo Hua remained calm.
After gathering his emotions, Guo Hua spoke.
"It is said that in ancient times, a monkey jumped out of the stone..."
When they heard Guo Hua's first words, the originally noisy and dissatisfied audience immediately fell silent.
