Zhu Mao couldn't help but arch his hand: "Brother Wu Jie, don't laugh at me, I didn't do much back then, but now I regret it."

There were two tables in the hall, and a dozen or so students from the former school were filled.

Soon, everyone who should have arrived had arrived.

After a while, Huang Dong, Fu Yanggong and two classmates walked in proudly, and everyone stood up to reason.

"It's late, it's late." Huang Dong pressed his hands down, smiling, as if he was the leader of this group: "I picked up a few classmates just now, so I delayed." Three glasses of wine were punished first, and the first dry was saluted. ”

After speaking, he toasted three glasses in a row very boldly, and naturally won a round of applause.

After drinking, Huang Dong found Wu Jie and said, "Wu fool, you have also fallen, you will be late for walking outside of this." ”

As soon as these words were spoken, some people laughed, and others looked blank. The people who come here today are all former classmates, but because of their different family backgrounds, as they all grow up, they are invisibly divided into three, six, nine and so on.

When he came, those who had a good family background and could speak well on the scene, Huang Dong used a carriage to pick them up in person. As for the rest, they came by themselves in a sedan chair.

In fact, this situation is inevitable in any era, even in modern society. When I was studying, we were all poor students. When you graduate out of society, it doesn't matter what your grades were in school before, whether you are a popular person or not. Only the career can explain the problem. Wu Jie remembered the things he had done in modern society before, and he felt a little emotional.

Because of this, the classmates who are now mixing well outside all sit at the same table with Huang Dong, while the other ordinary scholars sit behind another table with Wu Jie and Zhu Mao.

Wu Jie came today to visit relatives, recognize the door, and then learn about the trend of Shilin from the side, although none of the classmates present are famous, they can also detect some things.

In the mouth of ancient scholars, the imperial examination and officialdom were eternal topics. After a few glasses of wine, everyone chatted.

Wu Jie didn't speak, silently drank wine and listened.

I listened to it for a long time. But there was a slight disappointment in my heart. After all, the most ordinary people here are readers, and they can't hear any useful information from them. And Zhu Mao was obviously hungry, and after serving the table, he took care of eating and didn't speak, which made Wu Jie a little bored.

It's about that Zhu Mao's appearance is really ugly, and many people look at it with disdain. Even with Wu Jie, he was also looked down upon.

After talking for a long time, the classmates between the two tables toasted each other, of course, Wu Jie, a fool, and Zhu Mao, a poor sour, naturally no one cared about it.

After drinking high, everyone started talking casually, and gradually some people talked about themselves. We all went to school together six or seven years ago, and many of us haven't seen each other for years.

Some people are still studying hard, wanting to fight their way out of the imperial examination. But most people are forced by life to do things while reviewing their homework. I want to come to both ends without delay.

Some people say that they are guests in the Fengguo General's Mansion, and they follow the lord in and out, which is very beautiful, and there are a lot of good things to scoop every month.

Some people say that they are running the family business, and they have made a lot of money, and they have married a four-room concubine.

And all the people said with their pride, and soon. The gathering becomes praise and self-praise.

Everyone has been in the Mongolian school for many years, and some of them haven't seen each other for a long time. Some people walk on the scene because of their wealthy families, and they walk very diligently on weekdays. A small circle was formed invisibly, as for Wu Jie and Zhu Mao, a fool and a sour ding. He didn't see any future at all, and others didn't bother to talk to him.

Unknowingly, Wu Jie and Zhu Mao were marginalized by their former classmates. ..., Wu Jie smiled slightly when he heard this: Why is this situation so familiar, why is it so like a class reunion in modern society, it seems that hundreds of years have passed, and this person's heart has not changed at all.

Just as he was talking enthusiastically, a classmate at the same table felt that Zhu Mao was eating too viciously, and he couldn't bear it anymore, so he patted him on the shoulder: "Brother Zhu, don't eat it." Tell me how you've been doing in the past few years, I've heard people say that your house and land have been sold, and your life is hard, right? ”

He didn't ask, but Zhu Mao's chopsticks stopped. The circles under his eyes were red: "My parents are bent on letting Zhu Mao take the road of the imperial examination, and over the years, they have sent me to study in the school and forced me to go out to study." In order to make up for the school, the family's only ten acres of paddy fields were sold, and the family moved out of the big house. But now I haven't even been admitted to the show, and I am ashamed of my parents' expectations. Actually, I didn't think about what I wanted to do at all, and I knew my own skills. I'm just an ordinary person, I can read two words, and I can write essays. The last test today, if you don't win, but you definitely won't be able to win. In the coming year, I will see if I can find a tent and other work to do, a manly man, but let the family accompany the short and hungry, and what face is born in heaven and earth. ”

That? p>

In a trance, the wreckage of the Γ was stunned, and the Wu Qin, the pro-bream, the aphid, the thunder, the emperor of the emperor, the emperor of the thunder, the emperor of the Yanxi, the salt fly, the total Huang Xuan, the 2 and the spine, (10), the four knocks, the cooking, the sufficiency, the K, the lamp, the co-locust, the Valerian machine, the play there, the drows, the hurry, the rice planting, the rime!?p>

As he spoke, he glanced at Wu Jie with a sarcastic gaze.

Wu Jie didn't care, looking at it fixedly, Zhu Mao's face was haggard, and his eyes were lost and confused.

Wu Jie nodded secretly: People are like ten fingers, each has its own strengths and weaknesses, and some people can't study, so it is in vain to ask them to take the exam, and the competition in the imperial examination is so ashamed. It was a battlefield for elite heroes like Zhang Juzheng, Tan Lun, and Shen Shixing, and ordinary people were just cannon fodder. Education is to put it bluntly, it is just to improve the quality of one's own self-cultivation, if you fall into the devil and want to rely on this official to make a fortune and change your body, but it is very unreliable, which is also the sorrow of ordinary people.

Instead of putting a lifetime into this, it is better to find a suitable career after literacy, and maybe there will be another creation. The so-called nameless on the list, there is a road under your feet.

However, looking at Zhu Mao's appearance, he has already read a little dazed, and he is also a person who is not diligent and does not distinguish between grains. Even if you look for a living, it is estimated that it will be difficult.

Wu Jie had a few words with him just now, and he had a good impression of him. In general, this person's character is still very good.

He said, "Brother Zhu Mao, I live not far from here, and I'll give you an address." If you need it, just come to me. Classmates naturally have to help each other. Wu Jiebei didn't dare to boast, with his own face, say hello, and help Zhu Mao find a job as a concierge and secretary, and the monthly income of three or five taels of silver can still be guaranteed.

Zhu Mao glanced at Wu Jie gratefully, and arched his hand: "Thank you, Brother Wu." ”

The classmate who spoke just now snorted: "Zhu Mao, are you stunned, do you believe the crazy things that a fool said?" Instead of talking nonsense here, it's better to wait and talk to Huang Dong, he has a lot of methods, maybe he can help you think of a rut. ”

At the other table, hearing these words, Huang Dong burst out laughing. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to (.) to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support is my biggest motivation. )
