Chapter 169: Lack of money
The people in this world who are least afraid of others borrowing money are the ones who have no money at all. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Lu Wencai is full of face.
As a new science and technology scholar, if the news of his lack of payment for meals spreads, then his reputation will be stinky.
And here in Gourmet Zhai, he doesn't even have a way to use his identity to suppress people, because the people of Gourmet Zhai don't take him as a Jinshi in their eyes at all, is Jinshi very powerful, isn't it just that he can be an official in the future, but Chen Jing is still accompanied by the prince, and the situation of the two can be seen at a glance.
But Lu Wencai really has no money.
He glanced at Qin Wan and wanted to smile to ease the atmosphere, but he didn't know how to laugh, so when he grinned, it became a twitch of his face, giving people the feeling that he was smiling without smiling, which made people look awkward.
Seeing him like this, Qin Wan rolled her eyes again and said, "Young Master Lu, how are you going to pay back this money?" ”
Lu Wencai said: "Miss Qin, you see that we are all from Wolong County, otherwise, I will owe the money first, write you an IOU, and pay you back when I have money, how about it?" ”
Qin Wan glanced at Lu Wencai and said, "Why, Lu Gongzi has won the Jinshi, and he doesn't even have the money to eat?" ”
Lu Wencai looked embarrassed, Qin Wan didn't look ugly for herself.
"This, Miss Qin, ......"
"It's not impossible, it's just that why do I owe it to you, don't you say?"
"What does Miss Qin want?"
"Give you five days, five days to return the money, plus ten yuan of money, if you agree, you can leave, if you don't agree, we will go to see the official."
As soon as he heard that he would make ten dollars in ten days, Lu Wencai's heart ached, but he had no other way at this time, so he could only hurriedly respond and said, "Agree, of course agree." ”
Qin Wan nodded, and then asked him to write down the IOU, and then let Lu Wen go.
But after saying that Lu Wencai left, Xiao Zhao was puzzled: "Miss, can this Lu Wen be able to afford the money?" ”
Qin Wan shrugged: "He is a jinshi now, there are still a lot of people who want to slap him, there should be no problem in getting all this money together in five days, but when he is raising money, he must be despised, and he has always been arrogant, he will definitely be very uncomfortable with this, but thinking that he is uncomfortable, Miss Ben can't help but be happy." ”
Qin Wan intended to teach Lu Wencai a lesson, naturally it was impossible to make it easy for him, and if Lu Wencai couldn't get together so much money, then there was an IOU, and it would be easy to go to Kaifeng Mansion to sue him.
A new science and technology jinshi owes money and does not pay it back, if this matter spreads, it will be enough for Lu Wencai to drink a pot.
And after Lu Wencai left the food fast, he couldn't help but scold Qin Wan, but after scolding, he felt that the people who ate with him today were really shameless.
Before eating, Lu Gongzi on the left is talented, and Lu Wen is talented on the right, but when they pay money, one runs faster than the other, and none of them can teach them to drink and meat, and they want to be nice to them, don't even think about it.
In this way, after everyone who can scold has scolded for a while, Lu Wencai is thinking about how to get money, now that the IOUs are available, he will definitely not be able to pay back the money, but he has never done business, and he has not even transferred money, and now he wants to get money, where can he get money?
-----------------------------
Just when Lu Wencai was trying to raise money, the imperial court's arrangements for the new science and technology scholars began one after another.
Lu Wencai waited for several days, but he couldn't wait for the imperial court's arrangement for him, he went to the Ministry of Officials to inquire, but the officials of the Ministry of Officials didn't care about him, a new Jinshi, everyone was born as a Jinshi, and they were all officials, you are a Jinshi who has not been an official, who takes you seriously?
Lu Wencai inquired left and right, but he didn't inquire about the situation of his appointment, and the other Jinshi either stayed in Beijing to serve or went to other places to be officials, and they had all left one after another, but Lu Wencai didn't have any letter at all.
At this time, four days had passed since he owed Qin Wan money, and now Lu Wencai was so angry and anxious that he didn't even have the joy of being admitted to the Jinshi for a while.
Soon, not only did he lose even a sense of joy, he even began to despair.
And at this time, Ding Wei's subordinates found him again.
"Master Lu, you don't feel good like this now, right?"
Lu Wencai glanced at the subordinate and said, "I want you to take care of it." ”
The subordinate shrugged: "If you want to be an official, come with me, if you don't want to, then you will only be a jinshi in your life." ”
As soon as he said that, Lu Wencai was stunned for a moment, and somewhat understood what this person meant, he didn't want to follow, but he studied hard for so many years, not just to be an official, but if he didn't have an official position because he offended Ding Wei, wouldn't his previous efforts be in vain?
Lu Wencai couldn't help but scold again, it was Chen Jing who offended Ding Wei, why did Ding Wei get along with himself?
After hesitating for a moment, Lu Wen finally followed.
When he came to Ding's mansion, Ding Wei glanced at Lu Wencai and said, "Now that the imperial court is arranging positions for the new science and technology scholars, haven't you received it yet?" ”
Lu Wencai glanced at Ding Wei, and didn't pay attention to him, just pouted, Ding Wei was not angry, and said: "Follow me, I can give you an official position immediately, and it is an official position that stays in the capital and is promoted quickly, if you don't want to, you will never have a chance." ”
Speaking of this, Ding Wei said again: "I heard that you owe a lot of money for the meal, as long as you agree to follow me, I will help you pay back the money you owe." ”
Lu Wencai was a little moved, I have to say, tomorrow is the time to repay the money, if he can't get the money again, his face will be lost, and if he can't be an official for the rest of his life, won't he work hard in vain?
Just follow Ding Wei as a traitor, okay?
Lu Wencai's heart kept fighting, but in the end he still lost to reality, he was unwilling to fail like this, he wanted to be an official, how could he be admitted to the Jinshi and not be an official?
He knows very well that following Ding Wei, his future road will be much smoother.
The most important thing is that he is still willing to pay back the money for himself, and tomorrow he will use the money to throw it on Qin Wan's face to make her look down on herself.
After figuring it out like this, Lu Wencai naturally let go of his arrogance, and a faint smile appeared on his face, but he was not very used to flattery, and his faint smile did not give people a very good feeling.
"Lord Ding is willing to cultivate the younger generation, and the younger generation is naturally grateful."
Seeing that Lu Wen was willing to give in, Ding Wei nodded with satisfaction, this is how he came step by step back then, he knew very well that what was the use of retaliation when a person was young?
In the face of reality, your ambition is a fart, useless, if you want to become a master, you can only keep being in power and keep having money.
"Well, very smart, I know what I want, what I said, count." (To be continued.) )
