Chapter 285: The Sudden Sadness of the Female Candidates
Cao Yan and the others ignored what was happening behind them.
Now that breakfast has been eaten, it is time to send these female students back so that they can go back to reading with peace of mind.
However, Cao Yan didn't go far when they walked out.
Some of the female examinees were still talking about the delicious things just now.
A few people chased after them.
From afar, he shouted, "Brother Tai in front, please wait." ”
Cao Yan and the others turned around to see that the largest group should be forty or fifty, and the youngest is more than twenty officialdom old fritters.
Pointing to his nose, he couldn't believe it, at this time, Brother Tai is the meaning of elder brother, it is an honorific title, and brother, so-and-so brother is called younger than himself, or a peer.
"Well, it's just to call you brothers." Several people didn't feel embarrassed, but smiled and surrounded with familiar faces.
This sent chills down the table to those present.
A few girls who are not deeply involved in the world also showed a little disgust.
But a few people didn't care.
"I don't know the surnames of the two brothers?" One asked, those girls didn't even exist.
Because whether it was Cai Heiniu in the previous or Steward Cai in the back, they were all polite to these two young people, but they didn't look at the women in them.
"My surname is Simon, and my name is Blowing Fire." Cao Yan has also been told by Feng Qingluan that others have called his sword.
Flying Immortals outside the sky is a peerless sword, but isn't this Ye Gucheng's mastery? The name of Simon Blowing Snow, who hacked him to death, must not fall into the hands of others.
Luo Ming listened to Cao Yan talk about this name again with a little toothache, he didn't understand why Cao Yan gave himself such an alias after Feng Qingluan said that sword.
But since Cao Yan has changed, then he must also be: "Little brother, surnamed Luo, named Sun and Moon." ”
"This brother's surname is quite chic!" The few people who caught up were stunned when they heard this name, not to mention that they had never heard of this surname
"It's okay, I don't know how many people, what do you want us to do?"
"That's the case, I don't know if the two brothers know Taishi Cai?"
Taishi is an honorary official position, and there is no specific responsibility, generally only people in the court will call it that, and the market is generally called Cai Jing's official position, and the political secretary's Xiangguo, the two are just different in name.
"I don't know," Cao Yan said.
"I've met a few times." Luo Ming said.
As soon as they heard the completely different replies of the two, everyone squeezed Cao Yan aside and surrounded Luo Ming.
"This brother, can you do us a little favor."
"What's the matter? But needless to say, I don't need to talk about handing over the name post, and I'm not qualified. ”
These people looked at Luo Ming as a stranger, and they still spoke with a foreign accent, and they thought he was easy to deceive.
Of course, Luo Ming said so, but these people were willing to give up, just as a kind of modesty on his part, and they all stuffed their name cards over, with some coupons, and this business card was worthless, but what if the little fat man in front of him had a twitch in his brain and handed it over to himself?
"It's okay, just take it with my brother, if you have the opportunity to meet the Taishi, just help us hand it over."
"Well, it's just a gesture for Brother Tai anyway."
Seeing that Luo Ming did not refuse, he accepted the name post.
These people showed a knowing smile, and then pretended to be generous and said: "Brother Tai, you also had breakfast in Cai Mansion just now, we won't invite you to dinner, if we have time next time, we will definitely invite Brother Tai to sit in Fan Tower." ”
"Then we won't bother the two of you, let's take these female classmates to play, and say goodbye." After speaking, a few people also squeezed their eyebrows at the two of them, revealing a look that all men understand, and left one after another.
This can be regarded as a hurry to come and go.
……
Luo Ming went all the way to sort out these famous posts and coupons, a little disgusted.
"How?" Cao Yan asked.
And the female candidates behind them also got closer when they heard Cao Yan's question, and everyone had a heart for gossip.
"It's not like that, it's all below the eighth grade, the highest is a writer from the seventh grade, and the highest coupon is given five hundred yuan, which is like sending a meal, so what do you say to go to Fan Lou to eat? Do you want me to help them deliver their name posts? Isn't that a joke? ”
Luo Ming handed all the things in his hand to Luo Xiaosan on the side: "I've rewarded you." ”
"Thank you, young master." Luo Xiaosan doesn't dislike having more money and less money, as long as he has money.
"I don't know if we'll be like this in the future?" An older female candidate suddenly said sadly, because of her age, she knew more than many people present.
"Wouldn't it? If we are admitted, we will also be Jinshi! "A young girl couldn't believe it.
"Jinshi? Hehe! So what do you think those people were just now? Show talents, lift people? As soon as these words came out, the female candidates who were happy just now suddenly fell into a deathly silence, and there was a sad atmosphere in the air.
Yes, these people just now, who are not Jinshi?
"Luo Gongzi, if the little girl is not talented and accidentally gets in, please ask Luo Gongzi to help hand over the name post." Suddenly, an older female candidate spoke.
"Yes, when the time comes, please take care of Mr. Luo and help deliver the name post."
The people around are not stupid, and when they hear that someone takes the lead in speaking, they won't follow.
This made Luo Ming a little crying and laughing, he glanced at Cao Yan, and wanted to shout, are you looking for the wrong person, you still have to follow your own master, Lao Cai's traitor doesn't give enough money, it is obviously unreliable.
Of course, at this time, Luo Ming must not be able to refuse: "It's okay, as long as you can use my Luo Ming's just open your mouth when the time comes." ”
With Luo Ming's assurance this time, after going back, Cao Yan could clearly feel that they seemed to be working harder.
The reason is also simple, this time they can get Zhong Xinyi's help, so that they can have such close contact with Luo Ming, and they also agreed to help them hand over the name post.
If you don't get into the exam this time, you may not have such a good opportunity next time, and if Luo Ming is admitted this time, then next time I'm afraid that I will have to be like these people today, stay at the side door, wait for someone else's next person to come out, and surround me like a dog, right?
It's cruel, but it's true!
……
I sent all the female candidates back.
The team that went out this time was a different group of people.
It was Cao Yan who took the people of Lin Jiazhai.
Everyone took the carriage to the store that Xiang Yixin gave to Cao Yan.
At this time, there are already some people waiting, and they should be dressed as coolies.
This is what Cao Yan asked Luo Ming to find for him when he went back yesterday.
The leader is a black-faced man in his forties, with eight or nine people, and a few of them are a little similar in appearance, they should be relatives or something, and at this time, a lot of work, everyone likes to find their own relatives, the same clan, or the same townspeople to do it together.
As soon as he saw Luo Ming, the black-faced man immediately greeted him: "Young Master Luo, everyone has brought, please give me any work directly." ”
Luo Ming looked at Cao Yan: "You have to listen to my master." ”
This black-faced man is also clever, and hurriedly smiled at Cao Yan again: "This gentleman, if you have anything to order." ”
"Come with me." Cao Yan didn't talk nonsense either.
Directly took people to the yard behind the storefront.
Pointing to the pavilion in the middle of the courtyard: "Help me dismantle this pavilion, and dig a pit with a length and width of four zhang and a depth of three feet with this as the center. ”
The black-faced man looked at the courtyard in front of him where the scenery layout was quite good, and he couldn't figure it out, what a waste this was.
But he doesn't have to think about it, if others give him money, he can do what he does.
Of course, he still confirmed it again: "Childe said that this pavilion was demolished and a pit was dug four feet long and wide and three feet deep?" ”
"Yes!" Cao Yan nodded.
"However, Childe's size is estimated to be a bit insufficient." The black-faced man looked at this and estimated it.
"In this case, then you should try to dig a edge out first, and I'll see if I can tear down the house or dig a little smaller." Cao Yan remembered that the housekeeper of Xiang Yixin's family told him that the house was seven zhang wide and fourteen zhang long.
"Okay," the black-faced man didn't ask Cao Yan what he wanted to do, nodded and agreed.
"Brothers, let's get started." He shouted to those who had come with him.
"By the way, pay attention to safety, I'm not in a hurry." Cao Yan saw that there were no protective measures such as hard hats at this time, and admonished.
"Thank you for your concern, the villains saved." The black-faced man thought that Cao Yan was going to add something, and called everyone to stop.
"It's good to know."
This pit was intended to build a vault here in the future to store some copper coins and other goods. ()
