The happy life of a prodigal

Everyone in the world is like this, what can I do?

Thinking of this, Catcher Pei secretly glanced aside from the corner of the eye, and sure enough, he saw a figure in a dark alley.

Another figure was seen in front of another stall.

They are all top second-rate warriors.

He took a deep breath, looked at Fang Xiu, and said leisurely: "The green mountains will not change, and the green water will flow forever..."

After finishing speaking, he jumped up and disappeared from Fang Xiu's sight in a few strokes.

Seeing this scene, Xiu'er had a question mark on her face, walked quickly to Fang Xiu's side, and asked with concern: "Master, what's the matter?"

Fang Xiu waved his hand and said, "It's okay, I met a very interesting person."

When Xiu'er heard this, she subconsciously looked towards the direction where Catcher Pei disappeared. It's a very interesting person. Is the young master talking about the chattering cop?

"Young master, I just went to buy candied haws and saw a notice posted at the gate of the city. Many people gathered there to watch it. I don't know what it is..."

Xiu'er stood beside Fang Xiu, whispering.

Fang Xiu looked up at Xiu'er.

Xiu'er hurriedly lowered her little head, her pretty face flushed, and she didn't say a word.

She has only left Kyoto once in her life, and she has never had a good time outside.

Now that I have finished shopping in the city, I naturally want to go out of the city to join in the fun.

Of course Fang Xiu also knew what she was thinking, so he didn't say anything, but said: "Go, go and have a look."

Chapter One Thousand and One

"Thank you sir!"

Xiu'er's delicate face showed joy.

Fang Xiu reached out and touched her head, and led her towards the city gate.

This city of Jinzhou is not too big, and you can go to many places on foot without even using a carriage.

It only takes ten minutes to walk from where Fang Xiu is to the city gate.

Xiu'er was right, there was indeed a notice posted at the gate of the city.

There are also quite a few people surrounding this notice, joining in the fun, but they don't know what is written on the notice.

Fang Xiu stepped forward to take a look, but saw a familiar figure among the crowd.

Dressed in a green shirt in winter, holding a folding fan, fanning the wind gently, obviously shivering from the cold, but persisting with gritted teeth.

That's right, the nephew of the official prefect of Jinzhou standing next to the notice, Mr. Zhao Ziping.

At this moment, he was standing next to the notice, struggling to read the contents of the notice.

The people below asked curiously: "Young Master Zhao, Young Master Zhao, what exactly is written in this notice?"

"That's right! Mr. Zhao, you are a scholar, so hurry up and read it to us!"

Zhao Ziping heard the voices of the common people, and wanted to scold: "I'm watching!"What's the rush!

But when I heard that sentence, Mr. Zhao, you are a scholar.

The original resentment disappeared in an instant, replaced by joy.

There was a faint smile on his face, looking at the notice, he read word by word: "Jinzhou Port, pirates are raging, the guards are exhausted, and the troops are tired..."

After reading for a long time, the common people listened carefully.

After Zhao Ziping finished reading, he looked around, glanced at everyone, and asked, "Do you understand?"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, but shook their heads and said, "I don't understand. I've been talking about it for a long time. What do you mean?"

"It seems that pirates are coming."

"Pirates? Isn't there no pirates in Jinzhou Port? Why did pirates pop up again?"

"That's right! This pirate won't go ashore, won't he come to Jinzhou Prefecture!"

"Didn't the British Lord establish a Jinzhou Guard? Where did the soldiers in the Guard go?"

Everyone was talking about it, Zhao Ziping heard it, but he was depressed and wanted to vomit blood.

I have been reading here for a long time, and everyone can understand it, so what is the effort I wasted here?

Looking at these people, he became more and more impatient and wanted to curse.

However, before he could open his mouth, he heard an old man leaning on crutches tremblingly saying: "Mr. Zhao, what does this notice mean? We haven't read the book, and we can't understand it. You are a scholar. Give Let's explain."

student......

Zhao Ziping's eyes lit up when he heard these three words.

I am a scholar, and a scholar must have the bearing of a scholar, not like those arrogant warriors.

The sage once said that the common people just need to be educated.

If these people have all read books and know everything, then what do you want to do as a scholar?

So, he explained loudly: "Actually, there is no content, it's very simple. This notice means that a group of pirates suddenly appeared at the port of Jinzhou. We want to go fishing recently. We can rest for a few days." .

In addition, the soldiers of the Jinzhou Guard and the soldiers of the military station were tired during this period, and the number of them was small. It was okay to protect everyone on land, but it was a bit worse to fight those pirates in the sea. I want everyone to sign up enthusiastically, and form another anti-corruption guard team to repel the pirates! "

When he said this, his voice trembled a little, but he still gritted his teeth, unwilling to put on an extra cloak.

At the same time, I have to fan myself from time to time.

In his eyes, this is what a scholar should be like.

Standing in front of this city gate is an insult to his status as a son of the family.

But only here, only in the face of these farmers who do not know a single character, can his sense of superiority as a scholar be reflected.

Other places, whether it's Goulan, a brothel, or a restaurant.

The others are also scholars, and they also recite poems, so he can't compare...

He stood alone on the stage, proud of himself, he was a scholar.

The people in the audience fell into discussion because of this notice.

"What? Are there really pirates?"

"According to Mr. Zhao, this pirate is quite powerful. The soldiers in the guard and the soldiers in the army can't beat it. What use are we?"

"That's right! That's right, we're good at farming. Let's go to war. Why don't we go to work in Kyoto Prefecture?"

"I heard that you can get three taels of silver a month for building roads in Kyoto Prefecture! It's much more than fishing."

"To be honest, if I were younger, I would definitely go to Kyoto Prefecture to build roads!"

"Who isn't..."

"The pirates come as soon as they come, as long as they don't hit the Jinzhou Prefecture, if it doesn't work, let's go to the Kyoto Prefecture to find a way of life, after all, we can't starve to death..."

Standing in the crowd, Fang Xiu listened to everyone's discussion, his eyes darkened.

The magistrate's announcement was beyond his expectation.

The voices of the common people are even more so.

He never thought that these common people hated joining the army to such an extent.

He sighed leisurely, for a moment he didn't know what to say.

At this time, Mr. Zhao seemed to have discovered something, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he walked towards Fang Xiu.

"Hey, boy, aren't you the one who blocked my road at the gate of the city yesterday? Why, you didn't bring your guards with you today!"

Fang Xiu raised his eyes, glanced at Zhao Ziping, and said angrily: "I'm in a bad mood, don't provoke me..."

"..."

When Zhao Ziping heard this, the expression on his face froze for a moment.

Immediately, with an angry look on his face, he glared at Fang Xiu and said angrily, "I am a scholar, do you know what crime should be for insulting a scholar?"

Xiu'er stood beside her young master, looked Zhao Ziping up and down, said with disdain on her delicate face, "You are considered a scholar, let alone my young master, you are probably not as good as me.

Only here, in the face of these illiterate people, can you barely be regarded as half a scholar, in other places, are you also considered a scholar? "

What Xiu'er dislikes the most is that someone has a bad attitude towards her young master.

Mr. Zhao targeted his young master yesterday, and the young master didn't bother him. He didn't expect him to come here again today.

When Zhao Ziping heard this, anger burst out in his eyes, he stared at Xiu'er, and said angrily: "You are a woman who knows..."

I wanted to scold people, but remembered that I was a scholar, and swallowed the last word abruptly, saying: "What do you know!"

Chapter One Thousand and Two

"Oh? Really?" Xiu'er raised her eyebrows, stared at Zhao Ziping with a pair of almond eyes, and said angrily, "Since you are a scholar, why don't you write a poem?"

"..."

Zhao Ziping stood there blankly, not knowing what to say for a while.

After being stunned for a moment, anger appeared on his face, he glared at Fang Xiu, and said through gritted teeth: "You two, don't think that I dare not touch you!"

Fang Xiu heard this, raised his eyes to look at Zhao Ziping, and said leisurely: "I want to see how you plan to touch me."

Zhao Ziping gritted his teeth when he heard this, there was really nothing he could do about him.

If he really made a move, I'm afraid that Butou Pei would show up right away, and it would be meaningless for him to give him a chance to perform in vain.

So, he said fiercely: "My son is a scholar, so I don't care about it like you."

The people around naturally also saw this scene, and they all started discussing in a low voice.

"This scholar is different. Mr. Zhao is much more sensible than before after reading the book."

"That's right, Mr. Zhao is really a bit of a man now..."

That's natural, I am a scholar!

Zhao Ziping was secretly proud of what he heard, but he only realized it after a while.

What does it mean to look a little human?

Does this mean that I have no human appearance before?

He turned his head and glared at the man. According to his previous temper, it was natural for him to let the dog bite him at this time.

But for some reason, the three words "scholar" appeared in my mind, and I forcibly endured it.

I am a scholar, and I don't care about these vulgar people.

Thinking of this, Zhao Ziping suddenly thought of something, and said loudly: "My lord has already decided to leave Jinzhou Mansion in a while and go to the Academy of Arts and Sciences to study.

The dean of the Academy of Arts and Sciences is An Guogong, Jie Yuan, and another dean is Yayuan! "

When he said this, his face was full of pride.

It seems that by becoming a member of the Academy of Arts and Sciences, he himself has the opportunity to become Jie Yuan.

Some of the surrounding people showed doubts and asked: "I heard people say that An Guogong is a martial sage, and he created the Shenji Battalion with his own power to stop the enemy from the grassland and defend our Great Chu. Without being disturbed by those savages, why did you become an understanding yuan?"

"No, no, I heard that An Guogong made his fortune as a merchant. Many things around us, such as newspapers, Jinzhou Grand Theater, and cloth, are all sold by An Guogong's shops."

"Why what I heard is different from yours. I heard that An Guogong is the real parent official. When he was in the Central Plains, he was loved by thousands of people. When he returned to Beijing, countless people lined the road to see him off. Crying into tears..."

"An Guogong is clearly a martial saint!"

"No, it's the elder Xiaoge!"

"It's a big merchant!"

Everyone was arguing, but Zhao Ziping waved his hands when he heard it, and said loudly: "You are all right, An Guogong is both a martial sage and a Xiaoge elder, and he also has many shops under his name. Xuanzhai, Chunfenglou and many other well-known shops.

But An Guogong is also Jie Yuan, and he is our scholar! "

When he said this, the pride on his face was undisguised, and he raised his head.

It seems that these people are not praising An Guogong when they praise An Guogong, they are praising him.
