The Prodigal Son's Happy Life - Chapter 363

[Chapter 363 I have never seen such a shameless person!]

When the middle-aged man heard this, his face turned red. After a while, he held back a sentence: “They are scholars!”

“What about scholars?”

At this time, a voice suddenly came from upstairs.

Everyone looked up and saw a young man in rich clothes walking slowly down the stairs.

“Master Fang,”

the diners smiled and said hello when they saw the young man.

Fang Xiu returned the favor one by one.

Then, he walked up to the middle-aged man, looked at him, and said calmly: “Can scholars be arrogant and act wantonly?”

When the middle-aged man saw Fang Xiu, his original anger faded a bit, and his face showed Happy.

What the shopkeeper is best at is verbal disputes. It’s common sense that you can’t defeat him.

Fang Xiu, an ignorant and ignorant dandy, and Qiu Ba, how could he still be able to defeat him?

The middle-aged man looked at Fang Xiu and did not answer his question directly. Instead, he asked: “I heard that Mr. Fang will also take the provincial examination as an official student, but I don’t know if Mr. Fang is a scholar?”

Fang Xiu looked at the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man sneered and said: “If scholars are like those scholars just now, of course I am not. If it is said to be knowledgeable and sensible, and able to distinguish right from wrong, then I am of course.”

When the middle-aged man heard this, he was slightly startled, and then it seemed that Somewhat annoyed, he said: “My great Chu, your majesty and the scholar-bureaucrats rule the world together. Scholars should be the backbone of the court and the pillars of the country.

But I only had a few verbal disputes with those few servants. Why did I reach Mr. Fang?” Are you

being arrogant and acting recklessly here? “

Are you a scholar?”

Fang Xiu asked instead of answering his question.

When the middle-aged man heard these words, he raised his eyebrows and said with a hint of pride: “I’m not talented. I took part in the provincial examination in the eleventh year of Mingzheng Dynasty. I was lucky enough to win. I should barely be considered a scholar.”

Everyone heard that this middle-aged man turned out to be a scholar.

It was a noble person, and they all cast envious glances.

After all, in the Chu State, people could be elected officials.

Of course, this depends on luck.

Because when there are vacancies in various places, the first thing that naturally comes to mind is the Jinshi who can take the exam.

After the Jinshi scholars have been assigned, it’s their turn to be promoted. The candidates also need to line up, and only those with senior qualifications are qualified to be officials, and they don’t necessarily have to go to some remote place to become a ninth-grade official.

The candidates who were elected in the 11th year of the Ming Dynasty were ten years ago. If you do some calculations, it is estimated that they will be ranked in the next few years.

Thinking of this, all the diners were afraid to speak.

After all, the man in front of me is a real official in the future. Although he may not necessarily go to some remote place, he is still an official, and he is not the same as ordinary people like them.

When Fang Xiu heard this, he smiled with disdain: “You were elected in the eleventh year of the Ming Dynasty. That is to say, you have participated in at least two examinations and failed in both.” The

middle-aged man was enjoying the attention of everyone, and he was proud. When he was proud, he heard such words unexpectedly, and his expression suddenly changed.

He wanted to curse.

However, since he held his position as a candidate, he could not curse out loud, so he could only say silently in his heart: Don’t compare yourself with these Qiu Ba.

If he had read Mr. Lu Xun’s books and The True Story of Ah Q, he would definitely be able to find some similarities with himself.

Fang Xiu took a step forward, looked at the middle-aged man, and continued: “Since you are a scholar, I want to ask you something, what have you done in the past ten years since you passed the exam?”

“What have you done ?

Something?”

The middle-aged man was slightly startled, as if he didn’t understand the meaning of this sentence.

Fang Xiu asked: “Have you ever planted land?”

When the middle-aged man heard this, his expression suddenly changed. He stretched out a hand, pointed at Fang Xiu, and said angrily: “How dare Zhu Zian insult me!”

He was a dignified man. How can a scholar do such a despicable job as farming?

When Fang Xiu heard the name ‘Shu Zi’, his face became a little cold, but he did not get angry as usual. He just asked: “Have you ever done any work?”

The middle-aged man suppressed his anger and said coldly: “No.”

When Fang Xiu heard this, the expression on his face became even more disdainful, and he said calmly: “For ten years, you have neither farmed nor worked, so what exactly have you done?”

“I”

The middle-aged man shook his head slightly. He was startled, and then he confidently said: “Reading!”

Fang Xiu smiled: “Others say Han Chuang has studied hard for ten years, but I don’t think you look like Han Chuang has studied hard for ten years. But you said you have studied hard for ten years, Just treat it like you have been studying for ten years. If

you have studied for ten years and failed the exam twice, what difference does it make if you have read this book or not?”

“I”

a middle-aged man was I hit a painful spot and wanted to refute, but I didn’t know how to refute. I opened my mouth, but nothing came out.

Seeing this scene, Fang Xiu took a step forward, looked directly at the middle-aged man, his aura suddenly changed, and he said in a sharp tone: “If you don’t farm, don’t work, you will eat food for ten years in vain.

I call myself a scholar, I took the exam twice but failed. I couldn’t carry it on my shoulders or lift it with my hands. I used the money saved by my ancestors to get drunk in restaurants, but I felt it was natural and I didn’t feel any guilt.

That’s all. At best, he’s just a useless person, but you still look down on the others here who are self-reliant.

He maintains the dignity of a scholar, but does not know the truth and does not distinguish right from wrong. Just because the other party is a scholar, he feels that he should speak up and speak up. In fact, he is just humiliating himself.”

“You! “

“You neither know how to earn your own living, nor do you know the etiquette of a gentleman, nor do you know how to serve the country with loyalty. You only know how to receive salary from the court, and get drunk in restaurants. How dare you call yourself a scholar?

If I were you, I should be aware of my shame and then be brave and study hard. Otherwise, I should farm the land and work to support myself, but you are not ashamed, but proud, and even complacent and don’t care.

How can a poor and rotten scholar still deserve to be called a scholar?

A person like you who has read the books of sages in vain and can only waggle his lips and gossip is nothing more than a dog with a broken spine. How dare he bark in front of this young master? “

“I, I, you, you.”

When the middle-aged man heard these words, he was so angry that he couldn’t speak. He covered his chest, as if he would die in the next second.

Fang Xiu, however, dismissed it and shouted coldly. The last sentence was: “I have never seen anyone as shameless as you!

“Pfft-!

“

” When

the middle-aged man heard the last sentence, he became so angry that he spurted out a mouthful of blood.

When the surrounding diners saw this scene, they were all stunned.

It turned out that cursing can really make people vomit blood.

The middle-aged man was dizzy .

I was dizzy, as if I was going to faint in the next second.

In a daze, I pulled myself together and said what I had always wanted to say,

“I am a juren, and I have a great reputation. How can you insult me?” ”
