Chapter 232: Shen Jiao
It seems that this woman's status in this group of people is not low, or maybe the status of his family should be higher in this group of people, when he said this, several people present also stopped talking, looked at each other and nodded.
The world finally cleared up, Lin Huiru was afraid that they would regret it again for a while, so he quickly turned around and went back to the room, closed the door and turned off the lights, and forced himself to close his eyes and pretend to sleep while lying on the bed.
Fortunately, the noisy voice did not think of Lin Huiru in the middle of the night, and he woke up naturally the next day, Xu Ziqiao got up very early, and was holding a book and drinking tea next to him.
"Let's go, let's go down to eat." After Lin Huiru cleaned up, he and Xu Ziqiao went out of the room together, but before they could go far, they were stopped by someone.
"This girl, I'm sorry to disturb you last night." Lin Huiru turned his head and could almost recognize that this was the woman who spoke for them yesterday and then the group of people quieted down.
Originally, yesterday's action made Lin Huiru feel that this woman was really from a very educated family, and when she saw it today, she could feel that this woman had the temperament of a beautiful lady, and her words were also gentle and dripping, which made her really ashamed, and even doubted whether she was a woman.
"It's okay, thank you for speaking yesterday." Lin Huiru smiled shyly, and sure enough, people from rich backgrounds have an aura that is incomparable to others.
"My name is Shen Jiao, my father's official position is low, and it is not worth mentioning, are the two of you also going to participate in the imperial examination?" Shen Jiao's gaze swept over Xu Ziqiao behind Lin Huiru and asked.
Lin Huiru nodded, "Naturally, Miss Shen should also be going to participate in the imperial examination, right?"
"I just went with my brother in the family, and I don't know the girl's name, if it's convenient, it's better to go together, so the road will be lively." Shen Jiao spoke enthusiastically, but before Lin Huiru could speak, he was interjected by Xu Ziqiao.
"Thank you Miss Shen for your kindness, we still have some things on the road that I am afraid of delaying you, so I won't go together, I hope to see you in the examination room another day." Xu Ziqiao has always had no good impression of the descendants of some rich families, although the woman in front of him seems to be well-read, but after all, the identity gap between them is too big, and he is afraid that getting together will make Lin Hui have bad memories.
Seeing Xu Ziqiao's refusal, although Lin Huiru didn't know why, she didn't want to walk with this group of people, "My name is Lin Huiru, as my husband said, there are still some things along the way that are inconvenient to pass, thank you Miss for your kindness, I wish Miss your brother can show his ambitions." ”
"Hey, Brother Xu, sister-in-law, what are you doing, come and eat, let's leave after eating." Li Ji, who didn't know why, shouted in the back, but also relieved Lin Huiru and Xu Ziqiao.
Lin Huiru and they left after eating, and the group of rich boys and ladies got together and had endless topics.
"Hey, you say that this rich man is good, no matter where he is, he can't lose himself, the best housing, the best food, we work hard, and sometimes some people want to empty their family savings, just to participate in a imperial examination that does not know the result, this is really unfair." Li Ji suddenly became indignant on the side.
Lin Huiru hooked the corners of her lips, she was also a little cynical for a while, why do some people just have a good life? "But if you think about it differently, they have money, or the people of the older generation have the talent or the means, and if everyone in the world has the same income and family, then would you want to do things that others don't do? If you do it and have a better family, others will be indignant because of it. But if no one does it, the world will never develop. ”
"What my sister-in-law said makes sense, but the gap between the rich and the poor is also too big, I accidentally glanced at their accounts just now, and they actually gave birth to dozens of taels of silver, it is really Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road." Li Ji sighed and sighed.
But this world is like this, and it is really difficult to change.
For Lin Huiru, a person who has surpassed them for thousands of years, modern times have not been able to solve problems, let alone ancient times that are backward in thought and technology.
When Li Ji was driving, the carriage stopped after a while.
"What's wrong?" Lin Huiru knocked his head carelessly and asked.
"I don't know what's going on in front, there are so many people blocking the road, I'll go over and take a look, sister-in-law, you and Brother Xu are waiting for me in the car." Li Ji was originally a good-looking and lively person, he jumped out of the carriage but understood the check-in, squeezed forward, shouting all the way to let one let let one let one let go and soon squeezed to the front.
"Don't worry about him, let his temperament be like this, and we still have plenty of time, but I don't have much time for a while, don't worry if there is really something big in front of you, do you want to sit down and sleep on my lap for a while." Xu Ziqiao took the book, pulled Lin Huiru back to the seat of the carriage, and then pointed to his legs.
Lin Huiru shook his head, "I was awake just now, I don't know what happened outside, I'm also curious, so let's wait for him to come back and see what is there." ”
Fortunately, Li Ji moved very quickly, and after taking a look, he squeezed out.
"It's an eye-opener, guess what's ahead? A young girl in the flower season carried a straw mat, and the straw mat seemed to be wrapped in her father. The girl cried so much that she was crying, and she put a sign in front of her to sell herself to bury her father, as long as ten taels of silver helped him bury his father well, she was willing to be a cow and a horse and a maid. Li Ji was generous.
Lin Huiru frowned when she heard this, she had heard a lot of stories about selling herself to bury her father, but this was the first time she had encountered this kind of place in the city, unlike some poor people in the village who didn't even have to buy coffins, just dig a pit and sell people to set up a monument, but this kind of place seems to pay attention to a fallen leaf and return to the roots.
"There's no way, we can't help with this kind of thing, or let's take a detour." Xu Ziqiao also frowned as he listened to it, "This method is not advisable, if her father knows that in order to bury him, his daughter will do this kind of thing, and she may not be able to rest in peace." ”
Listening, Lin Huiru sighed, "Do you think that there is no free lunch in the world, but most of the people who pay this money are in love with that girl who can get a lifelong deed of sale for ten taels of silver, which is really a no-loss deal." ”
"Well, it's better to pay attention to a heart, this kind of behavior is not advisable, Li Ji, I don't know how long this excitement will last, let's go first." Xu Ziqiao said again.
