Chapter 277: Reading is stupid
Unlike Bai Shengwen, who was sent by his family, Bai Yingtian entered with a group of classmates, and he looked at him from a distance, but he didn't come over to say hello, Bai Yingkui still wanted to go over to talk, but because Bai Yingtian immediately turned his head to talk to his classmates, it was not good to pass.
Even if Bai Yingkui wants to go over, Xu Wenlan will also pull it.
As soon as he saw them, he turned his head, obviously pretending not to know, so why bother to go forward to dislike people? Maybe I didn't let my family come because I was afraid that people would know that my family was from the countryside.
For this fourth uncle who is ambitious and talented, fake and pretentious, Xu Wenlan said that he couldn't look down on anything, and he didn't bother to get closer.
"Brother, call your name!" Pushing Bai Shengwen, Xu Wenlan raised his voice a few points.
Bai Yingkui immediately focused on Bai Shengwen, and didn't look at Bai Yingtian on the other end.
Bai Shengwen looked back at Xu Wenlan and smiled, stepped forward slowly, and when he walked to the door, it was not his turn.
Xu Wenlan and Bai Yingkui couldn't get too close, so they could only watch from a distance as Bai Shengwen handed over the paperwork, and took off his padded jacket for the officers and soldiers to check.
"This must not freeze? Why is it so slow? Seeing Bai Shengwen hugging his shoulders and stomping his feet gently, Bai Yingkui was a little anxious.
But no matter how anxious he was, he could only watch, and when Bai Shengwen took back the padded jacket and put it on, he took back the examination basket, turned around and waved to them and entered the yamen, Bai Yingkui still kept staring at the door.
It seems that in the next moment, Bai Shengwen will come out.
Xu Wenlan looked funny, and pulled Bai Yingkui with a smile: "Dad, let's go home!" My brother doesn't know when he will come out, you see that for a long time, the candidates have not finished, and then the exam, this small day has passed. ”
Bai Yingkui sighed, and had to go back, the shop still had to do business, so he couldn't really stand here overnight.
Xu Wenlan was not idle when she went home, the tea and eggs were boiled, and when it was almost time, she pushed the chicken cart, that is, the wheelbarrow, to the door of the yamen.
They didn't wait at the door, but there were still family members waiting at the door.
Those who come from the countryside are reluctant to go to teahouses and taverns to sit, so they can only boil at the door.
Cold and hungry, isn't it just the right time for hot tea eggs?
"Uncle, we have to wait a little longer! Don't worry, my brother is also taking the exam! He said, this exam will take a little day! ”
casually persuaded people, but Xu Wenlan couldn't help but look at the door.
I don't know how Bai Shengwen did in the exam, this child test is not good, if it is good, Bai Yingtian will not become a child long ago?
In the northern winter, it gets dark early, and at about four o'clock in the afternoon, the sky begins to get dark, and it is only at this time that the yamen door finally opens.
Xu Wenlan jumped up suddenly, and didn't care about the stall on the side of the road, and just squeezed in.
"Brother, brother......" jumped to her feet, Xu Wenlan stretched out her hand, and saw Bai Shengwen walking past everyone towards her, and she was relieved.
Pulled Bai Shengwen to the side of the road, and gave him tea eggs to eat first: "Eat a tea egg first, warm and warm......"
Bai Shengwen took the egg, and before he picked it up, he heard someone asking the price behind him, and he didn't reply, he said directly: "Sanwen is a ......."
When I turned around, my eyes flickered.
I don't know the person who asked the price, but standing not far away, the person who is obviously with the person asking the price is not Bai Yingtian, half of his body is on the side, it seems that he doesn't look at this side at all, Bai Yingtian's appearance is awkward no matter how you look at it.
Raising his eyebrows, Bai Shengwen simply pretended not to see it, and was not in a hurry to go home, smiled and helped Xu Wenlan greet the guests, and sold more than a dozen tea eggs in a short time.
A middle-aged man wearing a coarse cotton jacket and a shrunken neck came over to buy tea eggs, and looked at Bai Shengwen with a frown: "Look at you are also a candidate for the exam, since you are a scholar, how can you do such a cheap thing, and the business of the merchant is stained with copper stench, wouldn't it be insulting to Sven." ”
Bai Shengwen smiled, but he was not annoyed: "Thank you Brother Ren for admonishing me, but it's ......"
Before he finished speaking, Xu Wenlan on the side had already stepped forward and said, "What's wrong with Shang Jia?" What's in your way? My brother sells me tea eggs and is it cheap? Phew, I see that you are dressed like this, and you are not the master of a lot of money! Dare to ask what your family does for a living? Farming? Ah, looking at you like this, you probably won't go to the field - you're so old, but you don't have any calluses on your hands, it seems that you haven't done anything else in your life except studying, right? ”
Glaring at the middle-aged man who was stunned by her question, Xu Wenlan snorted coldly: "Studying like you is either supported by the old father and mother at home, or supported by the wife, right?" If you don't produce, you only know consumption, so you deserve to look down on this and look down on that? Yes, it is said that only reading is high in the world, but like you, who only knows how to read and is raised by others, I think it is not high enough! ”
"You, how dare you bully a scholar...... the man was very angry, and pointed at Xu Wenlan little by little, as if he wanted to theorize.
Where would Xu Wenlan let him take advantage, and directly sneered: "I didn't bully the readers, I just bullied you, uncle, can you represent the world's scholars?" Seeing that you are as old as my father, but you haven't even taken the test as a child, it can be seen that this book is probably eaten as grass in the stomach! I haven't read the book clearly, what kind of reader is it! I, I still look down on you like this, I don't do any work, I just wait for the freshly taken all day, do I have to feed you with a meal? What's the difference between this and a pig? Why do you look down on us ordinary people who eat with our own hands? If it's all like you, wouldn't all those who have been promoted and become officials treat the people of the world as lowly people? If you don't have the slightest kindness, then what kind of parent are you doing! ”
"You, you......" The man wanted to say something, but there was a lot of applause around him, and he couldn't think of anything else for a moment.
Unable to say anything, he could only put his hand behind his back and snorted coldly: "Only villains and women are difficult to raise, and the saint will not deceive me......" He snorted and turned around and left.
"Phew......" Xu Wenlan snorted, and arched his hand to the people around to watch the excitement: "Let the big guy laugh, I'll tell you a few big truths!" We ordinary people don't look forward to being officials, but we are good officials who know our suffering! Those who read and read stupidly, don't be an official. ”
After watching the lively listening, there was another burst of laughter, but there were many people who crowded over to buy tea eggs, and some looked at Bai Shengwen: "Yo, your brother doesn't rely on people to provide for him?" ”
"Of course! My brother is studying, but he still has time to help work in the fields? If the limbs are not diligent, where can it be done? ”
Some people praised Bai Shengwen, Xu Wenlan smiled more happily, her waist was straighter, and praising Bai Shengwen made her happier than praising her.
Bai Shengwen, who was standing on the side, looked at Xu Wenlan silently, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, and there was a smile on his face that could not be hidden.
