Chapter 225 Don’t bully a young man into being poor
For some reason, after Zhu Ping’an praised the Li family’s cook, the atmosphere in the study seemed to have improved, and the sinister girl felt a lot better.
After the atmosphere became better, the little maid Baozi asked Zhu Ping'an curiously from time to time, such as whether a person is an official, does he not have to pay taxes, whether he can eat in a restaurant without being charged, etc. class.
“Do you think that if you pass the Juren exam, you can become an official? Do you think that if you pass the Juren exam, you don’t have to pay taxes and do corvee service? Do you think that if you pass the Juren exam, you will have enough food and clothing? Do you think that if you pass the Juren exam”
Zhu Pingan put down the book in his hand, faced the little maid with a bun face, and asked several rhetorical questions in succession with the corners of his lips curled up.
After hearing Zhu Pingan's question, the little maid with a bun face covered her mouth in surprise, "Isn't it true?"
"Let me tell you, these are all true." Zhu Pingan hooked At the corner of his lips, he continued in a joking tone.
Bao Zi’s little maid.
“Stupid girl, don’t listen to his nonsense. The candidates are only qualified to be officials. Those who are successful in the examination will not be directly assigned official positions. Only those who fail to pass the Jinshi will be awarded. Ministry of official affairs To register as a candidate, there are hundreds of people queuing up for one vacancy, and there is no way to wait until you are old enough to get your turn."
The sinister girl Li Shu curled her small lips in disdain, unable to get the last sound of these three words. Pulled the old man.
"Then if you get through, you will become an official?"
The little maid Baozi puffed up her mouth with a look of disbelief on her face. The Zhu Ping'an in front of him was just a little cowherd before, and he was not even as well-dressed and well-fed as himself. It had only been a few years, and he was already an official.
That’s not the point, isn’t it?
The dark-hearted girl glared at the little maid Baozi with hatred. The little maid Baozi looked confused and shrank her head subconsciously, not understanding why her own lady was glaring at her.
Seeing this, Zhu Pingan smiled lightly, then lowered his head and continued reading his book.
The years are quiet, and the study is quiet, except for the occasional silver bell-like laughter of the dark-hearted girl watching "The Story of the Slaughter of the Flying Tiger".
Time left a lingering fragrance of ink in the book. Zhu Pingan was concentrating on reading on the desk. The dark girl also sat quietly reading. The sunlight through the window shone on both sides. The two people were sprinkled with golden light, just like golden boys and girls.
The little maid Hua'er of Baozi who was eating snacks boredly dozed off. The little fat man held his chin in his hand, and his little head was still moving little by little, like a pendulum. Finally, when the little fat man nodded once Without holding his chin in his hand, his little head suddenly fell on the table, making a "dong" sound, breaking the silence of the study room.
Zhu Ping'an, who was concentrating on reading, was startled by the sound. He turned his attention from the book to the pitiful little maid with buns covering her chin, and then looked out the window. At some point, a red light appeared outside the window. Xia has dyed half of the sky red.
It's getting late, it's time to go home.
Zhu Pingan stood up, started to pack his schoolbag, and put the books in the bag.
The sinister girl on the other side glared hard at a certain pitiful little maid.
After Zhu Pingan collected the books, he said goodbye to the dark girl and others, slung his schoolbag across his body, and left the Li family in the afterglow of the sunset.
Shortly after Zhu Pingan left, the sinister girl Li Shu went to the bookshelf and flipped through the books on the bookshelf. She slowly walked to the bookshelf with biographies of famous people on one side, and casually read from it. Several biographies written by contemporary people were extracted.
The books selected by the sinister girl are all held by the little maid Baozi. There are six books in total, all of which are very thin books, namely "The Biography of Gan Luo", "The Biography of Huo Xu" and "The Biography of Kong Rong" "The Biography of Wang Rong", "The Biography of Sima Guang" and "The Biography of Yang Tinghe".
"Go and call Wang Xiaoer, and then go to the kitchen to arrange a dinner. Miss, I want to eat something light today. You can watch and let them cook it." After the sinister girl selected six books, she stopped and said to The little maid Baozi holding a book on the side gave instructions.
“Okay, young lady.”
The little maid Baozi put the book on the desk, then trotted out of the study with her skirt in hand.
"Brother Wang" Baozi's little maid trotted all the way to the stables in the front yard and called out.
Soon, Wang Xiaoer came to the study and stood at the door waiting for the dark girl's instructions.
"Here, hurry up and send those biographies to my father. You have to read more books when doing business. Well, if I don't want to read it, let someone read it to my father at night."
The sinister girl Li Shusui Pointing at the six biographies on the desk, he casually gave Wang Xiaoer instructions, but the cold light in his eyes told Wang Xiaoer that his lady's instructions were very important.
"I follow the instructions of the eldest lady. I will lead the horse right now." Wang Xiaoer responded respectfully and was about to go to the desk to get the book.
“Wait a minute.” The sinister girl waved her hand.
Wang Xiaoer stopped in response, bending over and standing motionless at the door.
The sinister girl took the pen and ink from the desk, found a fine brush and dipped it in the ink, opened one of the celebrity biographies, and dropped the brush on the blank space on the back of the first page of the cover.
The words written by the sinister girl in the book are almost exactly the same as the font of the biography. If the ink hadn't been dry, it would have made people think that these words were there originally.
What the scheming girl wrote on the back of the cover was a proverb:
Better to bully a white-bearded man,
Don’t bully a young man who is poor;
There must be a day when the dragon wears the phoenix.
I don’t believe that my pants will wear holes in my life.
After writing this proverb on this biography, the sinister girl nodded and said it casually, so that it would be more comfortable to read.
After finishing writing, the sinister girl took another book and wrote a sentence at the end. The font was exactly the same as the font of the biography, and the place where the inscription was placed was just right. There was no problem at all. Sudden:
Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi; Wu and Bai both came up, and heaven created a mystery.
Then for the other four biographies, the dark girl also added one or two sentences on the back of the cover page, all in the same font as the main text, followed by the following verses:
"The emperor is the farmhouse man, Climb to the Emperor's Hall at dusk; generals have no talent at all, men should strengthen themselves."
"Young Xiaoxu. If you study hard, you will be able to stand up with your articles; all the nobles in the dynasty are scholars."
"I have learned a lot since I was a child, and I have a high ambition in my life. Others have swords, but I have a pen like a knife."
"Mo. Taoism and Confucianism are wrong, but poetry and books are worthy of others; if you are enlightened, you will benefit the world, and if you are poor, you will benefit yourself. ”
After writing all six biographies, the sinister girl Li Shu put down the brush in her hand, then called Wang Xiaoer, who was standing at the door, to the table, pointing at the casual words on the back of the cover page of one of the biographies. He asked:
“Look, are the words I just wrote exactly the same as the words in the text?”
“If it hadn’t been for the lady’s reminder, I would have thought that these words already existed. "Here." Wang Xiaoer bent down and said.
"Well, I can trust you to do your work. Go ahead and remember to work more and talk less with me." The sinister girl waved her hand.
"I understand, little one." Wang Xiaoer nodded vigorously, put away the biography, bent down and exited the study.
"Let's go back too."
After Wang Xiaoer left, the sinister girl Li Shu said something to the old lady and other little maids who were waiting in the study, and then walked out of the study, and the others Immediately after, the sinister girl walked out of the study and walked to the backyard. (End of this chapter)
