The happy life of a prodigal

"5000 taels..."

"How did it become 5000 taels?"

"There's still interest..."

"you!"

Wu Yi took a deep breath, his eyes showed determination, and he said seriously: "Okay, 5000 taels, within three months, I will definitely give it to you!"

Fang Xiu looked at Wu Yi and said, "No stealing, no robbing, no borrowing, let alone gambling, extortion..."

Wu Yi glanced at him and said, "Do you think I can do these dirty things?"

Fang Xiu thought about it.

It seems that both of them have done such things before.

"Cough cough..."

Wu Yi seemed to have thought of this too, coughed twice in embarrassment, and said, "In short, it's a deal!"

Chapter 362 The Scholar Who Makes Trouble

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a loud quarrel downstairs.

Immediately afterwards, the door of the private room was knocked open from the outside.

"Where is Fang Xiu!? Is Fang Xiu here!"

A few obviously drunk scholars stood at the door, looking around, shouting.

In front of them, a few boys in Tsing Yi desperately reached out to stop them.

But it seemed that they were afraid of hurting them, so they didn't use any strength.

Seeing this scene, Fang Xiu frowned slightly and asked, "What's going on?"

Next to him, the newly-appointed shopkeeper of Zuihualou heard the question, hurriedly came up to him, leaned into his ear, and explained in a low voice: "Master, these scholars are drunk, I heard that you are here, so I must see you." You, little ones, can't stop you..."

When Fang Xiu heard this, he waved his hands and said, "Drive them out."

The shopkeeper of Zuihualou breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly said: "I understand, I will drive them out!"

After finishing speaking, he walked up to those young servants and whispered: "Young master has orders, drive all these people out of Zuihua Pavilion!"

"it is good!"

The few servants got the order, and their previous scruples were much less, and they teamed up to drive these scholars outside.

Don't look at these scholars who were able to break in before, it was all because of drinking some wine, their courage came up, and the boys didn't dare to use their strength.

Now, the servants have received Fang Xiu's order, and they all used their strength one by one.

These scholars were pushed away a few steps in an instant, without the slightest ability to resist.

When one of the scholars saw this scene, his face showed anger, and he shouted: "I am a scholar, I have a reputation, and I don't kneel when I see Mr. Fu Yin.

You untouchables, how dare you touch me! ? "

When the young servants heard this, sneers appeared on their faces.

If the young master is not here, they might really be coaxed by this sentence.

But if the young master is here, it means that they have a backbone, not to mention a few small talents, even the master Juren, they can catch up!

"Have you taken yourself seriously after drinking a few drinks?

This is the Zuihua Pavilion, not a place for you to run wild, get lost! "

The boy in the lead cursed even more.

When the scholars heard this, they were furious and shouted like crazy.

"What are you talking about!? We are scholars, and we are here to take part in the provincial examination. After we pass, we will be masters and officials. What are you guys!?

A handyman who sells himself as a slave dares to talk to us like this, you...you are looking for death..."

"When I am admitted to Juren, I will definitely punish your crimes, punish your crimes!"

"Where did that shitty young master of yours go!?

Let him come out and talk to us, you are not qualified! "

A few scholars shouted fiercely, but they didn't have any strength, so they could only let these young men push them outside.

A servant even kicked them hard: "Our young master is also something you dogs can see when they meet each other?

Nonsence! "

These little servants are also human beings, and human beings naturally have dignity and their own temper.

In the past, when facing these famous scholars, they also spoke kindly.

However, no matter who heard the words 'sold as a slave', they would feel uncomfortable, so their actions became rough.

In the lobby, a middle-aged man in fancy clothes frowned slightly when he saw this scene, but he didn't speak.

However, when he saw the servants making a move again, he stood up, looked in the direction of several servants, and shouted: "Stop!"

Seeing this scene, the shopkeeper rushed over and comforted him: "Guest officers, the shop is really ashamed to disturb everyone's cleanliness because of this incident today.

All of you will get a [-]% discount on today's meals as compensation..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard the middle-aged man in Chinese clothes say: "Let's not talk about these things.

Shopkeeper, let me ask you one thing first, what did these scholars do to be beaten and scolded by the servants in your shop? "

As soon as these words came out, the shopkeeper's face became a little cold.

He looked at the middle-aged man, and said, "What did these scholars do, didn't you see this guest officer just now?"

Hearing this, the middle-aged man sneered twice, and said: "Of course I saw it, but I just drank some wine, talked some nonsense, and also admired the reputation of the young master of the Fang family, and wanted to meet him, What's wrong with that?"

When talking about the reputation of the young master of the Fang family, he deliberately emphasized his tone.

There is a strong sense of irony and disdain between the words.

When the shopkeeper of Zuihua Pavilion heard this, his expression turned completely cold, he looked at the middle-aged man, and said, "Of course you're fine if you're drunk.

But if you want to mess around and make trouble wantonly after getting drunk, it's considered a problem.

Moreover, there is no problem for them to meet Young Master Fang, but there is one prerequisite, that is, Young Master Fang also wants to see them.

But Young Master Fang didn't want to see them, and they insisted on meeting Young Master Fang, isn't this causing trouble?

Since the opening of Zuihua Pavilion, there are not a few guest officials who are drunk, but as long as there is no trouble, we will treat each other with courtesy.

Even after getting drunk and falling asleep in the store, we will contact the family and send the drunk guest officer back.

But when I'm drunk, I want to make trouble...

With all due respect, let alone being kicked out, so what if they were beaten and scolded! ? "

These words are well-founded and convincing.

The diners in the lobby listened and applauded.

"Okay, what the shopkeeper said is right!"

"Yes, it's no big deal to be drunk, but it's a matter of character if you get drunk and make trouble."

"Don't tell me, this Chunfeng Tower and Zuihua Pavilion come from the same line. Last time I got drunk in Chunfeng Tower, a servant really sent me home."

"..."

Hearing the discussions of the diners around, the middle-aged man's face was very ugly.

He thought for a while, raised his eyes, looked at the shopkeeper, and said, "But...they are all scholars, and they have fame."

"If you are a scholar, you should be more knowledgeable and sensible, and understand right and wrong. Why do you make trouble after getting drunk?"

The shopkeeper said first.

After hearing this, the middle-aged man sneered twice, and said, "I didn't see them making trouble, it's just that the temperamental people express their depression..."

This is talking nonsense with your eyes open.

The diners in the lobby booed after hearing this.

The shopkeeper also smiled angrily, and said coldly: "Yelling in the store, smashing wantonly, smashing the door of the private room, disturbing the guests who are eating, if this is not a disturbance?

So what is trouble?

But I don’t know where this Hakka official’s house lives, so I’ll bring a few servants with me someday to visit, taste wine, make trouble...

No, according to the guest officer's words, it's not called making trouble, it's just a temperamental person expressing his depression! "

Chapter 363 Never seen such a brazen person!

When the middle-aged man heard this, his face flushed red, and after a while, he choked out a sentence: "They are scholars!"

"Scholar... so what?"

At this time, a voice suddenly came from upstairs.

Everyone raised their eyes and saw a young man in a fine attire walking down the stairs slowly.

"Master Fang..."

When the diners saw the young man, they all smiled and said hello.

Fang Xiu returned the gifts one by one.

Then, he walked up to the middle-aged man, looked at him, and said indifferently: "Can scholars be arrogant and act recklessly?"

When the middle-aged man saw Fang Xiu, his original anger subsided a bit, and his face showed joy.

The shopkeeper is best at verbal disputes, and it is common sense that he can't speak against him.

Fang Xiu is such an ignorant dude, and Qiu Ba, how can he still say no?

The middle-aged man looked at Fang Xiu, and instead of answering his question directly, he asked, "I heard that Mr. Fang is going to take the provincial examination as an official student, but I don't know if Mr. Fang is a scholar?"

Fang Xiu looked at the middle-aged man and said with a sneer, "If scholars are like those scholars just now, then my young master is naturally not. If one is knowledgeable and reasonable, and can distinguish right from wrong, then my young master is naturally..."

When the middle-aged man heard this, he was startled for a moment, and then he seemed a little annoyed, and said, "My Dachu is your Majesty and the scholar-bureaucrats rule the world together, and scholars should be the backbone of the court and the pillars of the country.

But it was just a few verbal disputes with those young servants, why did he become defiant and reckless when he came to Mr. Fang's place? "

"Are you a scholar?"

Fang Xiu did not answer his question, but asked back.

Hearing this sentence, the middle-aged man raised his eyebrows, and said with a little complacency, "I'm not talented. I took part in the township examination in Mingzheng 11th year, and I passed it by luck. I should barely be considered a scholar."

When everyone heard that this middle-aged man turned out to be a Juren, they all cast envious eyes.

After all, in Chu State, Juren can be an official.

Of course, this depends on luck.

Because there are vacancies in various places, the first thing to think about is the Jinshi who will take the exam.

After the allocation of the Jinshi, it is the turn of the Juren. The Juren also needs to line up. Only those with senior qualifications are eligible to be officials, and they don't necessarily have to go to some backcountry to be a nine-rank sesame official.

Juren in the 11th year of Mingzheng, that is, ten years ago, after calculation, it is estimated that they will be able to be ranked in the last few years.

Thinking of this, all the diners were a little afraid to speak.

After all, this future man in front of him is a real official. Although he may not necessarily go to some remote village, he is also an official, and he is not the same as ordinary people like them.

Fang Xiu laughed when he heard this, and he laughed very disdainfully: "The 11th year of Mingzheng Juren, that is to say, you have participated in at least two general examinations and failed all of them..."

The middle-aged man was enjoying the eyes of everyone, and when he was complacent, he heard such a sentence, and his expression changed instantly.

He wants to curse.

But since he was a Juren, he couldn't swear, so he said silently in his heart: Don't care about this kind of Qiu Ba.

If he had read Mr. Lu Xun's book, when he read the true story of Ah Q, he would definitely be able to find some similarities in himself.

Fang Xiu took a step forward, looked at the middle-aged man, and continued: "Since you are a scholar, then I want to ask you something, what have you done in the past ten years since you won the exam?"

"What did you do?"
