Chapter 37 Teacher, the old tree has blossomed (more)
Three days later.
The new chief of Daning County has arrived.
At the same time, Chu Ning was promoted to the new chief constable and continued to be in charge of Xiafeng Town.
The police station has double happiness.
Looking at Chu Ning who was given the chief constable's token by the new chief, the constables sitting in the audience were full of envy.
This token is the goal they strive for all their lives.
The expressions of the captains of the police present were also somewhat complicated. The detectives did not know that Gan Qiao had suffered a setback in Xiafeng Town and finally surrendered, but they, the captains of the police, had found out about it.
With such a young martial artist able to suppress Gan Qiao, Daning County might just have one more big family.
They are both constables, but they are completely different.
Some constables remain constables their entire lives.
For some constables, the title of constable is just a transition.
The captain of the police present had already made up his mind at this moment. He would go back and tell his detectives not to offend Captain Chu, otherwise he would not avenge them if they got beaten.
After being promoted to captain of the police and changing his uniform, Chu Ning walked out of the police station somewhat confused.
Something is wrong.
Why didn’t the teacher keep me? I have to ask him what happened in Xiafeng Town.
He also wanted to know how his teacher became the chief of police.
The teacher who teaches children suddenly becomes the chief of public security. This promotion is too fast.
For the next three days, Chu Ning stayed in Xiafeng Town. He also learned that his teacher had visited several towns but had not come to Xiafeng Town.
What's going on? "Chu Ning, I have good news for you. Instructor Liu has become the chief of our Daning County."
Jin Le walked into the gate of Xiafeng Town Police Station: "You have the best relationship with Instructor Liu in the school. Now you can walk sideways in the police station."
Liu Junshan did not let anyone know about Chu Ning's apprenticeship. Jin Le and others only knew that Chu Ning often went to the school to ask Liu for answers, but they did not know that Chu Ning had already become a disciple.
"Do you think that as a police chief, I would not know this news?"
Jin Le was stunned. It seemed that this was the truth. Chu Ning should have known it earlier than him. After all, Instructor Liu had been in office for a few days. He learned about it from his father. At that time, his father asked about his relationship with Instructor Liu in the school. He asked his father why he asked this. Only then did he know that the chief patrol officer of Daning County had been replaced.
"Wait, you became the head of the police?"
It was a little late before Jin Le realized the key point: "Have you broken through to the martial artist level?"
"Um."
After getting Chu Ning's confirmation, Jin Le stared at him for a long time, and then looked regretful: "Among us, except for Zhao Qin and Tang Ruowei, whose current situation is unknown, the others are behind you. It turns out that alcohol and sex are the biggest obstacles to martial arts training."
"So you're going to stop drinking?"
"Who said I want to quit masturbation? Hehe, I want to quit..."
Jin Le looked at Chu Ning dimly. Why did this man answer differently from the others? This made him look like a fool.
"Chu Ning, since you have become the head of the police, I will also go to the police station to sign up to be a constable, and then I will come to your Xiafeng Town."
With Instructor Liu above him and Chu Ning below him, Jin Le suddenly felt that being a constable was not a bad thing.
"When you become a constable, do you have to have a banquet at home?"
"That's a must."
"Then if I become the head of the police force, do you have to give me gifts as well?"
"It's inevitable. When will you have the banquet?"
"today."
"today?"
An hour later, Zhang Song and He Jin also arrived.
The three of them looked at the dishes on the table and looked at each other. It seemed that this banquet was prepared for the three of them.
Chu Ning smiled and said, "This table is not only for today's captain, but also for last time's constables."
…
Jin Le: "Chu Ning, are you so short of money recently?"
Zhang Song: "If you need money, I have some money to lend you."
He Jin: "If you need money, you don't have to rush to return it to us last time. We don't need these three hundred taels."
Chu Ning waved his hand and said, "Repaying money is repaying money, and paying a gift is paying a gift. These are two different things and cannot be confused."
"It's true that they can't be confused, but you didn't even invite me, your teacher, to your wedding banquet. Are you resentful of me?"
After Chu Ning finished speaking, a voice came from the door and Liu Junshan walked in.
"Instructor Liu!"
Jin Le, Zhang Song and He Jin stood up immediately when they saw Liu Junshan. Even though they had graduated from the academy now, they were still as awed by Teacher Liu as they were when they were in the academy.
However, there were expressions in the eyes of the three people that were both shocked and not shocked.
The shock was because Instructor Liu called himself a teacher and wanted to accept Chu Ning as his disciple.
I'm not shocked because I think it's normal when I think about it. Chu Ning has left the school, but he can still come to the school to ask for advice from Instructor Liu. This can only be explained by becoming Liu's disciple.
"The disciple has no resentment towards the teacher."
Chu Ning explained, looking at his teacher, he suddenly felt that the teacher was a little different from before.
Originally the teacher was rather introverted, with a hint of otherworldly temperament, but now he seems to have returned to earth with a carefree and unrestrained demeanor, and his goatee seems to have been trimmed a bit.
This is a way of respecting teachers. In simpler terms, it means that a middle-aged man who is experiencing a second spring in life seems a little bit showy.
The teacher went to a brothel in the city? Chu Ning hurriedly brought a chair over, and Liu Junshan sat down directly, saying, "I didn't prepare any gifts, it's not good to sit down like this."
"Teacher has given me enough, how can I ask for more gifts?" Chu Ning said with a smile, but he was muttering in his heart: "Okay, you are already sitting down, right? Teacher must have been to a brothel in the city. If a middle-aged man wants to change drastically, it can only be because of a woman."
Although promotion is possible, if the teacher is obsessed with power, he could have been promoted long ago with his ability and would not have stayed in the school for so many years.
The promotion system of the Liang Dynasty was very simple. As one’s ability improved, one’s official position would be promoted. Even if one was suppressed, at most he would be assigned to a position with little benefits.
"This is a gift for you. Don't worry, although I'm not that rich, I can still afford it."
Liu Junshan took out a red paper bag, and Jin Le and the others said quickly: "Yes, yes, yes, the gift can only cost a few dollars. Chu Ning, you can do it when you have good things in the future."
Chu Ning scratched his head: "Okay, I was a little embarrassed at first, but now that you teachers have said so, I will hold a banquet for martial arts promotion tomorrow. Promotion to martial arts master and promotion to constable are two different things."
Liu Junshan remained silent. Jin Le and the other two opened their mouths slightly, wanting to refute, but it seemed that what Chu Ning said made some sense.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"Then in a month I will hold a full moon party for the promotion to head constable. The next day... Then the hundredth day... Then the anniversary..."
Looking at the teacher whose face had completely darkened, Chu Ning added, "Teacher, as an elder, it is an honor for me to be here. I cannot ask for a gift from you."
Liu Junshan looked better now. Jin Le beside him smiled and said, "That's good. My wife is already six months pregnant. This month I plan to take another concubine. I will invite you, Chu Ning, to come. There will also be a full-month banquet, a hundred-day banquet, and a first-week banquet after the baby is born..."
"Yes, I will take a concubine too." Zhang Song and He Jin also reacted and nodded hurriedly.
Chu Ning's mouth twitched and he forgot about it.
But why are you two joining in the fun? Everyone is holding a banquet and giving gifts to each other, but in the end, all the money goes to Jin Le, who owns the restaurant.
They were drinking and joking. Because of the presence of Liu Junshan, Jin Le and the other two were a little restrained and didn't drink too much. After eating and drinking their fill, the three of them left with their arms around each other's shoulders.
In the past, Chu Ning would have gone with these three guys. Men are very loyal after marriage, and the only activity they do after drinking is foot soaking and massage.
There is no foot bath in Daning County, but there is massage service. The techniques of the technicians there are regular and comfortable.
Chu Ning made tea and poured a cup for the teacher.
He knew that the teacher came today not just for the banquet, and he must have something to tell him if he stayed behind.
But looking at the teacher's expression, he seems a little embarrassed.
Finally, after drinking three cups of tea, Liu Junshan spoke: "Chu Ning, you have a master's wife."
Chu Ning was not surprised at all, but what did the old man mean by his hesitation? Is it embarrassing to marry a wife in middle age? The teacher is still a little thin-skinned, what is there to be embarrassed about.
A man is a boy until he dies. As long as he can still do it, it doesn't matter.
"Congratulations, teacher. Who is your wife?"
"Your master's wife is from the Chen family of Raozhou Prefecture."
Chen family?
Chu Ning was stunned. He also quickly reviewed the information of the eight major families. Raozhou Prefecture is the Chen family. Is the master's wife a member of the Chen family of the eight major surnames?
If it weren’t for the Chen family, the teacher wouldn’t have to say this.
So the teacher is hooking up with a rich woman? No wonder the teacher became the general manager.
Facts have proved that even in a different world, living off a woman is still a good thing.
So, the teacher didn't see me these few days because he felt embarrassed to be a gigolo? Liu Junshan looked at his disciple who was silent, with his expression changing from time to time, and suddenly got angry: "What nonsense are you thinking? Your master's wife and I were classmates in the academy many years ago, but because of some things, the teacher was unable to be with your master's wife. Not long ago, I went to the capital and met your master's wife. Your master's wife has not married yet, and she still has the teacher in her heart."
"Love will eventually marry, Master, you and your wife have a happy marriage after much hard work."
Chu Ning had a rough guess in his mind. The story of the official's daughter and the poor scholar might have some changes in the details, but the general idea should be correct.
"In fact, I have to thank you for the fact that your master's wife and I can be together."
"Thank me?"
What does this have to do with me? "Last year, the teacher had already broken through to the level of a general, but he was inspired by you and never showed his true strength to the outside world. This time when I went to the capital, I met your master's wife's eldest brother. The teacher will not hide from you that the reason why I couldn't be with your master's wife back then..."
“That’s fine too.”
Chu Ning didn't know what to say after hearing this.
Back then, my teacher and his wife were in love with each other in school, but his wife's elder brother broke them up. If the teacher wanted to be with his wife, he had to beat him after three months.
Although the teacher is a genius, the master's wife's elder brother is a member of the Chen family and has many resources. Naturally, he lost the three-month battle.
This time, the master's wife's eldest brother once again tried to stop him, and ridiculed the master for not even being a military general after so many years. If he wanted to marry my sister, he had to at least be a military general.
According to the teacher, when he showed his strength as a martial artist, his master's wife and brother's faces turned pale.
"Chu Ning, it's right to hide your abilities. Try not to expose all your strength to the outside world in the future."
Seeing the teacher tasting the sweetness of hiding his shortcomings, Chu Ning couldn't help but mutter in his heart: "It's also hard for the teacher's wife. She played such a drama to take care of the teacher's self-esteem."
It is normal for an official's daughter to fall in love with a poor boy and be separated, but my teacher's wife has not been married for more than ten years. I am afraid that my teacher's brother-in-law must feel guilty and feel sorry for his sister.
How could anyone stop him at this time? The reason for performing such a drama was just to take care of the teacher's self-esteem. After all, the teacher failed and left sadly that year.
The teacher must be still brooding over what happened back then, and he couldn't bring himself to go find his teacher's wife. His wife must have known this, as she had been waiting for the teacher for so many years.
My master's wife is so amazing.
I’m afraid that the teacher will be eaten to death in the future.
