As the top three in the Songjiang Township Examination, Gu Yunji and Bai Xingjia met at the Luming Banquet, and naturally knew each other. At this time, seeing Bai Xingjia's footsteps were vain, his face showed a little sickly white, and he looked unmotivated.

Stretching out his hand to stabilize Bai Xingjia, Gu Yunji asked, "What's wrong with you?" Sick? ”

Bai Xingjia bowed his hand slightly towards Gu Yunji and Cheng Yan, and his voice was weak: "It turned out to be Gu Gongzi and Cheng Gongzi, I haven't seen you for a long time." I'm not sick, I'm just a little uncomfortable. ”

Although Bai Xingjia is not from a wealthy family, he has also been pampered by his family since he was a child, and he has never suffered much, and his body has been raised to be a little more delicate than those boudoir ladies.

Now that the environment has suddenly changed, Bai Xingjia, who is accustomed to the warm, humid and warm climate in the south of the Yangtze River, really can't adapt to the dry and cold of the capital. The mouth is dry, not to mention, there is something wrong with the stomach, and I have to run six or seven times a day to the thatched house.

I heard that the dishes of this Furui restaurant at the entrance of the street cover the north and south, bringing together special dishes from all over the world. Taking advantage of today's good weather, Bai Xingjia thought about going out for a walk and ordering a few hometown dishes to soothe his stomach. As soon as he ate half of the meal, his stomach became upset, so he had to put down his chopsticks and come out to find a thatched house.

was talking to Gu Yunji, there was another gurgling sound in his stomach, and Bai Xingjia only had time to say goodbye to him in a hurry, so he hurriedly ran away. Seeing this, Gu Yunji shook his head helplessly, not taking this little episode to heart

I found an empty table in the restaurant and sat down, ordered a few familiar hometown dishes and Beijing specialties, and ordered the guy to serve a pot of not too intoxicating wine, and the three of them completely relaxed and began to enjoy the food.

While eating, a few tall scholars came into the restaurant, judging from their sturdy bodies and slightly rugged appearances, they should be northern scholars. It was the peak time for customers, and the restaurant was basically full, and a few people searched for a while before finding an empty table, but there were still some dishes on it, which looked like leftovers that had not been taken away.

The young man at the head snorted in disgust, bent his knuckles and knocked on the table violently a few times, calling Xiao Er: "Why haven't you cleaned the leftovers from the last table?" Hurry up and take it away, we're going to sit down and eat! ”

"This ......," the guy looked a little embarrassed, and explained flatteringly, "a few guest officers, this is not something left over from the previous table, there are guests who have not finished eating, and they can't be taken away." ”

The young man frowned: "What about the people at this table?" ”

"I should have gone to the thatched house, this table of guests specially greeted me before leaving, let me keep the dishes, he has to come back to eat." The guy stretched out his head and looked around, but he didn't find any empty tables, "...... There's no place for it now, why don't you wait a little longer? Later, as soon as there is a table to vacate a table, let a few guest officers take their seats. ”

"Then we'll have to wait until when we're going!"

After being hungry for most of the day, the young man really didn't want to wait any longer, and spoke with irritability: "I see that this table is almost full, you just take it away, and make room for us to sit down." ”

The guy sneered: "Guest officer, this is not good, this table has not been settled yet." What's more, some of the dishes haven't been touched much, if we take them away like this, I won't be able to explain when the guests come back later. ”

"It's not good to sit down and eat while occupying the table, and I ran to some thatched house in the middle, and I went there for so long! It is precisely because of the existence of such people that the time is delayed, so we can only wait! ”

After scolding and scolding, the young man was a little relieved, and when he saw the guy with his head down, he also knew that it was not easy for him to be caught in the middle, and it was not easy for him to be embarrassed. But the young man held back his anger and had no place to sprinkle, so he simply opened his throat and shouted all over the restaurant:

"Whose dish is this table! We can't eat because we occupy the space, and if no one comes out to claim it, we will be poured! ”

When the guests heard this, they all looked at him in this direction, but they only looked at him a few times with a strange expression, and quickly turned back to continue eating.

Seeing that no one answered, the young man was a little discouraged, and was about to say forget it, when he heard a weak voice behind him: "...... It's the dish I ordered, and I haven't finished it yet......"

The young man looked back and saw that it was a fair-looking young man, not tall, half a head shorter than him.

The size gap is here, and the young man feels that he has the confidence to be strong against the weak, and he can't be called polite when he speaks: "Occupy the table and don't hurry up to eat, but you want to run around, you are not in a hurry, others are still in a hurry, do you know how many people who have not eaten are waiting for the table?" It's really immoral! ”

Bai Xingjia just pulled it, the whole person was a little prostration, his face was pale and he had no strength to speak, plus he was already soft, he didn't dare to scold back after being yelled, so he could only defend in a low voice: "I am from the south, I just came to the capital and I was a little unaccustomed, I always had diarrhea, I suddenly wanted to go to the thatched house just now, I didn't drag it on purpose......"

"Okay, okay, I don't have time to listen to what you say." The young man interrupted impatiently, "Since you're back, hurry up and settle the bill, hurry up and vacate the table, we're going to order." ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Bai Xingjia contemptuously, and his eyes showed disgust: "A big man, his body and bones are actually so weak, he is unaccustomed to the soil and water at every turn, and he speaks like a girl, he has no manhood at all, so he is also worthy of the imperial examination?" ”

Because of the difference in geographical conditions between the north and the south, the customs and customs of the two places are also very different, and the northerners are generally tall, heroic and rugged, and informal; Southerners are relatively petite, especially in the south of the Yangtze River, where the water towns are tender, graceful and introverted, much more delicate than those in the north.

Of course, the above are all general characteristics of the group, and the actual fall on the head of the individual has different degrees, and not everyone is carved out of the same mold.

But Bai Xingjia's current appearance is very much in line with the stereotype of southerners in the hearts of young people.

Hearing the young man speak so rudely and offensively, although Bai Xingjia was resentful, after all, he was weak and did not dare to confront several people on the other side, so he had to swallow this breath silently and prepare to pay the bill.

Seeing that Bai Xingjia was silent, as if he was afraid of himself, the young man had to inch in, and he became more and more unscrupulous when he spoke: "Tut-tut, southerners are like this, looking at a little white face, in fact, with thin arms and thin legs, they can't stand anything, if they say it well, they are delicate and introverted, and if they don't say it well, isn't it cowardly and timid!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the southerners in the restaurant sank in unison, and their eyes became cold.

With a "bang", the chair was rudely kicked over, and an arrogant young male voice sounded from behind the young man:

"I said who is arguing here for a long time, it turns out to be a few barbaric northern nephews, no wonder they are so uneducated."

Gu Yunji followed the prestige and unexpectedly found that it was an acquaintance.
