The eyes of the scholars present were evasive, and no one responded. Some scholars even sneaked away when no one was paying attention.

The scholar turned around and no one was willing to borrow money.

The scholar surnamed Wen went forward and took the scholar's arm: "Brother Zheng, thank you for standing up for me." He returned the copper coins in his hand to them, and thanked them again.

He took out a red rope from his neck, and a jade pendant was tied to the end of the red rope. He handed the jade pendant to the boss: "How about it, boss, I will bet this jade with you, and I will go back to get the money."

Someone among the group of scholars behind the clerk spoke up again: "If you have this thing, you should have brought it out earlier, so that we are wasting time with you here."

The scholar who was blocked from speaking before, finally no one could stop him from speaking, he angrily reprimanded the person who opened his mouth: "It's not helping you at all, so you know that you are wasting your time."

That brother Zheng came up again to persuade the scholar not to be angry, and explained to the person who opened his mouth: "This brother misunderstood, this jade pendant is the only relic left by Brother Wen's first mother. How dare you take it out so easily."

Qi Qingxi looked at all this with cold eyes, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that it was true that literati were despised. At first, he blamed the boss for insulting them as thieves, but now he began to fight among himself because of these few copper coins. He is really a little bit of literati No strength of character.

On the contrary, these few scholars who are willing to help the clerical students have some loyalty, but they can't help being stumped by a few copper coins.

But Qi Qingxi felt a little strange the more he looked at this matter. Since there are so many loyal people who are willing to pay even the money with the clerk, no one is willing to take the place of the clerk and stay with the boss in exchange for him to go back and get the money. ?

What's more, this steamed stuffed bun, even in their restaurant, is only five renminbi, let alone at this kind of street stall, no matter how expensive it is, it is only three renminbi.

According to the boss, the scholar just ate two steamed buns and a bowl of porridge, so how could he need so many copper coins?

But if you think about it this way, it's just an early meal and a few copper coins, so it's not worth doing any tricks or digging into some crooked ways.

On the other side, when the boss saw the jade brought out by the clerk, his eyes were already shining, and he stretched out his hand to snatch it.

"Hold on."

Suddenly, a young man with a simple face pushed aside the crowd and stepped forward. He took out a piece of broken silver and handed it to the boss: "I will pay for this brother's meal. Is this enough?"

The boss immediately took the money and said happily: "Enough is enough, this is definitely enough." He blinked at the scholar surnamed Wen.

That's right, the boss and the scholar named Wen are actually exchanging glances.

Qi Qingxi suddenly wanted to understand what kind of business these people were playing.

They specially organized this game to defraud these scholars who are ignorant of the world, who don't know the grain and don't work hard.

"Brother, thank you so much, why don't you follow me back to the inn, and I'll return the money to you."

"We are all classmates, so don't worry about trivial matters."

Listening to the conversation between the clerk and this simple scholar, Qi Qingxi couldn't help but sneer.

Unexpectedly, her sneer was heard by the emotional scholar, who frowned and stepped forward to stare at Qi Qingxi: "Why does this girl think our behavior is funny?"

Qi Qingxi wore a veiled hat, lest the scholar could not see her expressions and movements clearly, she deliberately increased her volume and said: "Yes, it's very funny."
