struggle in ancient times

The county seat is not very big, and there is a little trouble, and everyone knows it.

While they were still admiring the flowers comfortably, all the scholars who had nothing to do gathered together angrily.

"You should have heard the news in the past few days, right?" Luo Xiucai, who took the lead, said with a dull expression.

"It's true that everyone knows. Those little bastards thought they were doing it very covertly. Hmph, if they tilt their butts, I can see what they think." Wang Xiucai said contemptuously.

"To be honest, this outsider is really abominable. A strong dragon does not overwhelm a snake. How dare a scholar hang out with a group of children."

"My kid used to respect us quite a bit, but now he hasn't come to ask for advice since yesterday. His wings are really stiff, and he thought that he could be lawless if he had someone to back him up." Tang Xiucai said indifferently.

He is very confident, those little brats can't get over his Wuzhishan.

Don't think that you can turn the world upside down just by getting some news, you must know that without their recommendation, you can't pass the exam.

The people present thought of this and agreed very much. They probably forgot that the recommendation quota had already been handed in.

Only the servant who served the tea and water at the back seemed to know the situation and told them that the recommended quota had already been confirmed last month.

But none of this has anything to do with him, and there's no need for him to be scolded for what he said.

"However, we should teach that person a lesson. After all, he is inexperienced and proud of his youth. As seniors, we should teach him well."

"It's true that I don't have these seniors this year, so I must do my part." Wang Xiucai smiled viciously.

"Brother, whoever gave him a message, we can also show our friendship as a landlord." Tang Xiucai said gently, but this warm skin can't cover his black soul.

"I'll write it, and I'll book it at Taihe Restaurant." Luo Xiucai, as the richest and oldest senior there, stopped the matter.

Then the post was sent by the servant, but it was a pity that I got a word from the waiter.

"Those Mr. Liao went out early this morning and haven't come back yet. If you put the post here, I'll give it to them when they come back."

The young servant conveyed the original words to several scholars who were still drinking tea and chatting.

Luo Xiucai threw the cup on the ground in a fit of temper.

"What a scholar, he really doesn't know the rules, he is so uneducated, he should strip away his fame and go back to the field to reform himself."

The faces of the other people were also very bad. They never expected that they would get such a result after going there in a hurry.

"Forget it, don't be angry. We will make plans when he comes back. We must suppress his arrogance and let him know his position."

"That's right, you can't let it go, it's a dragon on our territory, you have to lie down."

Maybe it was out of breath, Luo Xiucai always felt that he had overlooked something, but he couldn't remember it, and he was not in the mood to get together here, so he might as well think about what to do.

Everyone also dispersed.

Without knowing it, Liao Tingyu made a group of people very angry.

Now they are still dating sweetly, talking about Qingqing, me and me, holding the warm fragrance and warm jade, immersing themselves in the gentleness.

When he got this post, he read the above content.

"Thank you little brother, I'll go up first, please feed the cow for us."

"Okay, sir, just don't worry, I don't know if you still want someone to prepare dinner for the evening." Xiaoer rarely met such a talkative guest, and asked very enthusiastically if he wanted to prepare dinner.

If it is someone else, heh!If you are hungry, you can cook by yourself, or buy it at a high price if you don’t have a cook. This is a rare hotel in the county.

"No, thank you, we've already eaten, just prepare the bath water." Liao Tingyu said.

Back in the room, Huang Zilan asked: "Who gave you that post? What was written in it? After reading it, you don't seem to be in a good mood?"

"It's nothing, the teacher came to inquire about the crime, clean up early, there will be a war tomorrow." Liao Tingyu didn't take this matter to heart at all.

He had expected it a long time ago. After all, with his experience, no matter how careful those people were, they would still let their feet slip.

After all, people grow old.

"Seeing your expression, I don't worry anymore. Do you need me to help out tomorrow?"

"No, I want to invite you to the theater." Liao Tingyu smiled.

The next morning Liao Tingyu woke up slowly, the sun was already high, Xiao Er saw the two of them getting up, and said with a smile: "Mr. got up a little late today, I specially asked the kitchen to prepare a little breakfast, I wonder if you will eat it or not? "

"He even left us a special breakfast. I thought we could only go out for food this morning! The hands of outsiders are not as good as the craftsmanship of the master chef here, especially the steamed stuffed buns. The taste is amazing. Just wait." Liao Tingyu said in surprise.

"That's right, our master's skill in making steamed buns is the golden sign of our shop. I'll serve it to you." Xiao Er said, Liao Tingyu directly rewarded Xiao Er with dozens of coins, which was pure income behind his back. !

It's also rare for Xiao Er to meet a master who rewards silver, so he is even more considerate now.

He didn't expect that he would get such a good fortune just by talking to the cook casually. Sure enough, the people he met were good and the income was good.

He happily went downstairs with the reward in his pocket, and there were two bowls of thick rice porridge among the food served.

Sure enough, the money was well spent, Liao Tingyu thought while drinking porridge and eating buns.

Huang Zilan took a sip, "Don't be so happy, I spent so much extra money to enjoy the treatment at home, I don't know what's wrong with you!"

"It's different. It's good to have such a guy when you're away from home. Besides, don't you think this guy is very interesting?"

"He should be a relative of the boss, otherwise he would have been dismissed from my shop long ago. No matter how bad the customer is, he would have to be praised as long as it doesn't touch the bottom line."

"Heh." Liao Tingyu smiled and said nothing, fortunately he is not the second child, otherwise some people would have been murdered by him long ago.

With Huang Zilan's expression on his face, he knew that some principles would not work for him.

"Didn't you say you were going to fight yesterday? Why aren't you leaving now?"

"Not in a hurry? Are you full? Do you want me to ask Xiaoer to bring some porridge over?"

"Such a big bowl is enough for me to eat. You don't want to stuff my mouth with food, do you? I'm looking forward to your performance now."

"Don't worry, I will definitely behave well, and let you see how your husband sweeps the literary world." Liao Tingyu said vigorously.

"But we should have enough food now, and I don't know how the food in the restaurant they ordered is good. If it is not good, we will have to starve." Liao Tingyu said seriously.

"Why do you think that they don't hear well from restaurants? As literati, they want to save face. They actually tried their best to benefit the landlords. No matter how hard they are, they can't let us guests eat bad food." Huang Zilan didn't think so, after all Face to face.

"I don't think so. Think about it. Let's not talk about recommendation. It's all about relationships. After all, everyone doesn't have many places in their hands, but the precautions for the examination room actually cost money, and They say they don’t believe it, think about how they are willing to book a restaurant for us.”

Liao Tingyu analyzed seriously: "And I'm still worried now, will they let the two of us pay the bill?"

Huang Zilan is too stupid if he still can't see that he is joking.

"All right, all right, you always have your reasons, hurry up and eat, don't starve you."

These two people ate here slowly, chewing slowly, and a group of people were waiting for them on the other side.

"Why hasn't this person come yet? Is it because the post hasn't been delivered yet?"

"Could he be afraid to come?"

"Probably not. After all, he feels that he is against so many of us, and he is afraid of even such a trivial matter. Then he is a useless tortoise. I have to write an article for him."

"But it's almost noon now, and no one has arrived yet. I'm afraid that the really shy turtle has left."

Everyone was talking about it, and Luo Xiucai, who was the leader, was even more angry. If this person didn't come, wouldn't his position in the county be lost?

He didn't realize until everyone had left last night that they had already recommended the spots.

The most important thing now is not to let those little bastards be admitted as a scholar, otherwise they, old things, should withdraw from this stage.

Liao Tingyu and his husband, who was dressed like a book boy, came over after they finished their meal.

Huang Zilan fell behind Liao Tingyu. Today, he saw that Liao Tingyu was not in a hurry to choose the clothes to wear. No matter how he chose, he felt that these men's clothes were not good-looking and did not match Liao Tingyu's clothes. It was delayed for half an hour.

Those scholars who came from far away were hungry early, and urged Luo Xiucai to have dinner. Because of the good location, Liao Tingyu inadvertently raised his eyes and saw those noble old scholars in cultural clothes drinking and chatting.

Once the two made up their minds, they didn't bother them at all, and opened a room next door, listening to the cross talk next door, eating snacks and drinking scented tea, very comfortable.

"I knew we wouldn't eat so much today, these interesting words are really enough for dinner."

"In the end, it's just that these people are unconvinced, venting their grievances at the top to the younger generation." Huang Zilan said objectively.

An old scholar next door didn't know if he was confused, but he yelled loudly inside.

"Why do you say that, think about how difficult it was when we first started school, studying hard in the cold window! And how lucky they are, there are schoolboys with them, but it only costs a little money, anyway, they have plenty of money. They Come ask if we'll talk? We will, won't we?"

"We have done so well, they are still not satisfied, and they don't want to think about whether someone will teach us when we go to the exam? No one! In order to be able to pass the exam, I took the exam again and again. It took 30 years for me to have The name is on the list, 30 years! 30 years!"

"It's really strange here. Could it be that there are all children from poor families? Didn't any children from rich families pass the exam?" Liao Tingyu asked strangely.

Huang Zilan explained: "Why do you want to teach when you have money? Just look at my brother who just guards his own stall and doesn't care about anything. In order to be able to follow further, he will go to the capital or famous academies to study, merchants The children will inherit their father's career or go to school, but they will not teach and educate others. They are not short of money."

Liao Tingyu encountered this question for the first time, "Isn't my wife rich?"

"Master Li's family used to be a carpenter, it's nothing, and Master Jiang and the others are all, only the dean is the second young master of the Zhu family." Huang Zilan said scientifically.

"How do you know so much!"

"Skills are necessary for doing business. Now that the food is on the table across the street, shouldn't the young master go and have a look?"

"Xiao Huang, go and open the door, let you see your young master's demeanor, don't be fascinated!" Liao Tingyu joked.
