As soon as the fat man Xue Chi sat down, he stretched out his chopsticks to pick up a big meat dumpling in Zhu Ping'an's bowl. He took one crunchy bite, and his mouth was full of oil, and his teeth were so hot that his mouth cracked.
While sucking, the fat man cheered loudly.
"This is good. It's a delicacy in the world. Brother Zhu knows how to eat it. Shopkeeper, give it to me, three portions, no, four portions. Give me the whole soup like his. Well, it tastes pretty good. We both can enjoy it together.
Put it on my account."
Fat Xue Chi seems to have no concept of money, maybe because his family has enough money and he doesn’t need to care about numbers.
"How is this possible? I was treated to a big meal by you yesterday. Let me pay for today's snacks." Zhu Pingan took out the money bag from his arms and called the boss to come over and prepare to pay.
"Don't mention Brother Zhu, you are willing to give me a good Feng Shui house. This little money is nothing. We have agreed, shopkeeper, come to me to collect the money, and you will pay twice as much."
The fat man sucked his lips, shook his head repeatedly, then took out a piece of broken silver and waved it at the shopkeeper.
A businessman pursues profit. When someone wants to pay double the money, he will naturally not refuse. The shopkeeper walked to Zhu Ping'an. When he heard that the fat man Xue Chi wanted to pay double the money, he immediately turned around and walked to the fat man.
"Stop looking for it. Give us some of your delicacies for the rest. Your store is really delicious." The fat man handed a dime of silver to the boss and praised the taste of the snacks.
"Okay, wait a moment, you two." The shopkeeper took the money and said goodbye to get ready to go.
Thanks to the fat man, breakfast feels like lunch.
The fat man is only seventeen or eighteen years old, not much older than Zhu Pingan. Among the students in the imperial examination, they are all still young people, and they can't be compared with the older people. Moreover, other scholars are not impressed by the fat man's nouveau riche temperament.
Although he despised him, he finally met a young man who had a certain appetite for him, so the fat man felt particularly friendly when he saw Zhu Pingan, and he already regarded Zhu Pingan as a confidant in his heart.
Returning to the inn from breakfast, we inevitably passed by the Qinhuai River. Looking at the bustling gold and jade buildings on the other side of the river, the fat man Xue Chi seemed to be a little distraught.
"Brother Zhu, do you know why the other side is so prosperous?" Fatty Xue Chi asked with a vulgar look on his face.
"Because of peace and prosperity, there is prosperity." Zhu Ping'an glanced at the wretched fat man and said with a naive smile.
"Haha, Brother Zhu is still too young, let me tell you..." Fatty Xue Chi smiled obscenely, with the demeanor of an elder. He was determined to be Zhu Pingan's leader and wanted to continue to popularize Zhu Pingan.
The knowledge of Xiafenghuaxueyue. After finally meeting a like-minded person, how can you watch him study and become a nerd? You have to be a qualified confidant.
At this time, the fat man Xue Chi listened to Zhu Pingan, who he thought was a bit of a nerd next to him, smiled and repeated what he had just said, with a joking tone:
"Prostitution thrives in prosperity, and where there is prosperity, prostitution thrives."
Xue Chi thought it was nothing at first, but after being reminded by Zhu Pingan's joking tone, he suddenly came to his senses.
"Prostitution is prosperous, prostitution is prosperous, oh, it seems to make sense, haha, brother Zhu is also a man of this way." Fatty Xue Chi hooked Zhu Pingan's shoulder, his eyebrows moved, and he smiled with a wretched look.
This is your sister, who is like you! Zhu Pingan was speechless.
"Come on, Brother Zhu, let me open your eyes." The fat man Xue Chi poked Zhu Ping'an with his fat hand. He was so disgusting that it was beyond words. Even Marshal Tianpeng's expression when he saw the spider spirit taking a bath was more dignified than him.
I really have the urge to step on his fat face and make it one size bigger.
"I'm still young, so I can't accompany Brother Xue." Zhu Pingan declined politely.
"Hahaha, Brother Zhu, this is not a contradiction. When I was Brother Zhu's age, I had already read all the Bozhou Ecstasy." The fat man smiled proudly.
I really don’t understand where your sense of accomplishment comes from!
Zhu Ping'an firmly declined Fat Xue Chi's invitation and headed back to the inn with his schoolbag slung across his body. As for Fat Xue Chi, he could go wherever he wanted, but he didn't have that interest. There are things at any age. If you become famous,
Why worry about not having a girl to love, why be anxious for a while.
"Alas, Brother Zhu, wait for me, so I won't go today." Fatty Xue Chi trotted over, panting heavily.
On the way back to the inn, the fat man Xue Chi chatted with Zhu Pingan from time to time about his glorious feats in Bozhou and on the other side of the Qinhuai River. He was as proud as a victorious general bragging in front of the soldiers about his bare arms and carrying a machete.
He ran all the way and chased the enemy chieftain for eighteen miles.
Zhu Ping'an didn't respond lazily, but the fat man Xue Chi was so excited that he couldn't hold him back.
As he was walking, he suddenly heard the fat man bragging about his great achievements suddenly became quiet. Zhu Pingan was slightly startled. When he looked around, he saw fat man Xue Chi tilting his head and looking straight at somewhere on the street. Zhu Pingan followed the fat man's gaze.
Looking over, I saw an extremely gorgeously dressed woman sitting on the side of the street eating breakfast with a scholar-looking man across the street. This gorgeous woman looked a bit aristocratic, mature and charming, and she was probably right.
A boy like Fatty is quite attractive.
"My dear husband, if you want to look, just look. Why do you have to look at me with sidelights?" The beautiful woman saw the fat man Xue Chi looking directly at him, and he felt a little sneaky, so she couldn't help but laughed and cursed.
"Oh my god, sister is so funny. I haven't even taken off my pants yet, so why am I looking at you with my bladder?" Fatty Xue Chi refused to admit it with a trembling face.
Damn you, you are doing shit. The so-called revenge for killing your father and the hatred for taking your wife are the two great shames and humiliations in life. If you tease someone in front of his concubine, that concubine will look like a scholar. Scholars care about face the most, so I won’t give it to you.
Death-defying.
Sure enough, the scholar sitting opposite the gorgeous woman stood up with a roar and chased the fat man for two blocks.
At this moment, the fat man Xue Chi was not fighting alone. He was like Liu Xiang, possessed by Bolt, jumping up and down, and moving like a rabbit despite his body fat, but he didn't let the scholar catch up.
Zhu Ping'an looked at the back with pain. Why did he feel that this fat man seemed to be chased often? Uh, Damn, this guy doesn't do this all the time in Bozhou! Looking at the two chasing people who disappeared around the corner,
Zhu Ping'an shook his head slightly, then left and walked toward the inn with his schoolbag slung across his body.
Returning to the inn room, Zhu Pingan put away the things in his schoolbag, took out the books and returned to the desk, put the pens, inks, paper and inkstones one by one, and started his daily preparation plan.
After going through county examinations and government examinations, Zhu Pingan became more and more aware of the difficulty of the ancient imperial examinations. He used to read time travel novels and saw that modern people returned to the ancient Ming and Qing Dynasties and easily passed the Jinshi examination. Regarding this, now
Two words: nonsense.
The ancient imperial examinations were based on the Four Books, Five Classics and Eight-legged Essay, which is completely different from your modern education. When you go back to ancient times, you have to learn bit by bit from the Four Books and Five Classics. The so-called ten-year period is not just as simple as when we go to school, but doing Eight-part essay requires accumulation.
, it would be impossible to do it in five or six years. Moreover, the imperial examination mainly looked at the Eight-legged essay style. Modern people do not see the talent for writing in the Eight-legged essay style, let alone the Eight-legged essay. Besides, the Eight-legged essay selection is not limited to writing.
Talent also depends on luck. The style of writing you write does not match the temperament of the examiner. There are many uncertain factors such as the questions you encountered, your performance at the time, the performance of others, etc. What you can do now
