Chapter 226: A Man's Shame

Hearing the young scholar's question, the shopkeeper ignored him, and a guy walked over lazily and said, "Guest officer, our store is all high-end women's clothing, and the cheapest one costs four fiat dollars." Oh, that's four taels of silver. ”

When the scholar heard this, his face changed slightly, and he said, "Can you let me see the style first." ”

The guy had read countless people, and when he saw the person in front of him, he knew that he was shy, so he said even more impatiently: "Do you buy it or not, if you don't buy it, don't delay our business." ”

Watching people serve dishes has been the same since ancient times, especially in such high-end shops.

People who work in high-end shops often have the illusion that they have become high-end people, and unconsciously show contempt for customers who look shabby.

However, some well-trained people disguise it well and generally don't show it too obviously.

It is an absolute shame for a man to be looked down upon so nakedly.

The scholar's face suddenly turned red, and his fingers trembled and pointed at the guy and said, "You open the door to welcome guests from all over the world, but you judge people by your appearance, which is really contemptible." For unscrupulous shops like yours, this business will not last long. ”

The guy looked disdainful and said, "Yo, you're still in a hurry." I've seen a lot of people like you. I'll show it to you in a moment, and then you excuse yourself by not bringing enough money and walk away. Hmph, our clothes are all high-end goods, so wouldn't it be a big loss for you to touch them and not buy them. Without further ado, if you don't buy it, hurry up. ”

As he spoke, the guy waved his hand and drove people out.

The scholar was even more angry, standing in place and not leaving, his face turned even redder, and he pointed at the guy and said angrily: "Don't look down on people with dogs' eyes." The reason why merchants have become lowly is because there are more contemptuous people like you who judge people by their appearance, so that the reputation of merchants has been tarnished. When we live in the temple one day later, we will vigorously rectify and punish those who are despicable. ”

The guy seemed to have heard some funny joke, laughed and then pointed at the scholar's nose and scolded, "What do you think you are?" New champions? Look at your poor and sour appearance, if you can become a great official, then I will be His Royal Highness the Regent. Poor sour, go, go, if you don't leave, I'll call someone to throw you out. ”

The quarrel between the two made Qi Xuan and Deng Xiaojin, who were choosing clothes, stop, and the guy's words made the two girls have anger on their faces, but they couldn't bear it when they saw that Jiang Chuan didn't move.

The shopkeeper looked at the two female guests and was displeased, frowned and said to the guy: "Sixth son, you shut up for me." I will not spare you. ”

The man shut his mouth in disbelief, but he still glared at the scholar with slanted eyes, and put on an expression of wanting to drive people away.

The scholar was so angry that he couldn't speak at this time, and finally laughed angrily, pointed at the guy and said, "Okay! Good! Good! When the day comes, I will come to the door to thank you for today's kindness. ”

After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave.

"Brother, please stay." Jiang Chuan shouted.

The scholar stopped, looked back at Jiang Chuan, and looked at him suspiciously, with anger on his face.

"I don't know what happened to the son's call?" After looking at Jiang Chuan, the scholar's face was a little hesitant, but he still bowed.

"Brother Tai is a scholar who came to Beijing to take the exam?" Jiang Chuan asked.

"Exactly." The scholar nodded.

"Now that the emperor's list has been announced, from what Brother Tai just said, it must be on the list?" Jiang Chuan asked with a smile.

When the scholar heard this, the anger on his face immediately dissipated, and he changed to a little proud expression and said: "Exactly, I am fortunate to be on the emperor's list." And tomorrow His Royal Highness the Prince Regent will summon me and others in the palace. ”

Jiang Chuan knew in his heart, and it was so.

"It turned out to be a Jinshi today, Brother Tai is really talented, then congratulations to Brother Tai here." Jiang Chuan smiled and arched his hand.

The scholar saw that Jiang Chuan was noble and had the majesty of a superior person, but he was so kind to himself, he was in a good mood in an instant, and he also bowed his hand and said, "Thank you, son." It was really unexpected to be able to go to high school this time. If it weren't for the content and form of His Royal Highness Regent's reform of the exam, no longer using the Eight Strands of Righteousness to take scholars, but using strategic riding and archery to take scholars, Xiaosheng would have been very rare this time. His Royal Highness the Prince Regent is magnificent and very human. ”

When Qi Xuan and her two daughters heard that this scholar admired Jiang Chuan so much, they were in a good mood, and they both had smiles on their faces. Deng Xiaojin was even more naughty, and he squeezed his eyebrows at Jiang Chuan.

Jiang Chuan was also slightly proud in his heart, but he didn't show too obvious emotions.

For this imperial examination reform, the scholar in front of him is a person with vested interests, and he naturally wants to praise it.

Everyone is in a beautiful mood, and the only thing that is not beautiful is the shopkeeper of this store and the guy.

Especially that guy, the expression on his face is even more wonderful.

Just now, I was still ridiculing people and wanted to drive them away, but I didn't expect that people were already Jinshi today.

Everyone in the world knows that the imperial court will award officials after passing the Jinshi examination. As soon as he thought that he had offended a future official just now, the guy wanted to slap himself in the mouth.

However, at this time, the scholar didn't pay attention to him, but chatted with the noble son, and he didn't dare to disturb, so he had to look at his shopkeeper with a depressed face.

The shopkeeper's heart is eager to beat this product up, who you offend is not good, you go to mock a Jinshi. Although there are many officials in the capital, they also have some backgrounds when they can open stores, and they have seen many officials and backgrounds.

But offending a current and future official for no reason is definitely not a worry-free thing.

Who knows what opportunities this will have in the future, maybe people are on the rise, if they think of today's stubble and order them to go down, they will not be able to eat and walk around in this shop.

The shopkeeper had the heart to step forward to apologize and say a few obedient words, but when he saw that the noble son who came before and the scholar were talking, he didn't dare to interject, so he could only stay aside with a smiling face.

"Brother Tai must also want to buy winter clothes for the daughters in the family, right?"

The scholar sighed, with a look of shame and nostalgia on his face, and said after a while: "Don't hide it from the son." Today, I learned that I would be summoned by His Royal Highness the Prince Regent tomorrow, and I wanted to go to the street to buy new clothes for myself, so as not to lose my honor in front of the palace. When I passed by the door of this store and saw the sale of women's clothing, I remembered my little sister in my hometown in Jiangnan, and I wanted to buy a set of winter clothes for her. I left home three years ago to study, and I haven't seen my little sister for three years. I thought that after His Royal Highness's summons were over tomorrow, I would go back to my hometown to visit my little sister. But who knows......"

Speaking of this, the scholar showed a look of shame and self-blame.
