"Oh, there are a total of twelve brothers and sisters in the family. Unfortunately, some of them died very early, and some later died of illness. Now there are only four brothers left..."
"Four brothers? Oh, that means that Xiongtai has three brothers, right?"
"Yes, but my third brother is in his forties."
"Oh, three brothers, they are in their forties, okay, then, brother Ma Lao, fourth brother, I will write your name for you."
Ma Xiaoquan shook his head: "No, I can just write it myself. Although my handwriting is not very good, it will definitely be recognized~" After that, Ma Xiaoquan grabbed the brush from Ximen Jing's hand and wrote down one stroke at a time.
The three words "Ma Laosi".
Ximen Jing took a closer look and immediately became contemptuous.
The handwriting of Ma Laosi is really not very good. Although it is one stroke after another, it is uncomfortable to read.
Ximen Jing winked at Zi Liang, and Zi Liang also came over to take a look, and said with a smile: "Brother Ma is really a cheerful person, and his words are just like his words, and Brother Ma's words are also very refreshing."
Ma Xiaoquan knew that Zi Liang was scolding him in different ways. The words were just like his words. To put it bluntly, he was hurting him. Well, this kid really had a bright mind.
Ma Xiaoquan pretended not to hear it, and laughed and said: "How about it, that's just me, haha... What about it, can you understand my handwriting?"
The young men who signed up later also came up to take a look, and then looked at Ma Xiaoquan. They all looked at each other, and no one said anything, but their eyes were full of contempt.
They all regard Ma Xiaoquan as a nouveau riche. Well, for such a person, there is no need to worry that Miss Beiming will favor him.
"Well, it's pretty good. It's well written and I can understand it!" Zidian nodded and said politely to Ma Xiaoquan.
"Oh, then I'll leave first." After saying that, Ma Xiaoquan bowed his hand to Zi Liang and left slowly.
...
Ximen Jing came to Zi Liang's side and asked: "What's that guy's background? Ma Laosi? This name is enough for that..."
Zi Liang snorted coldly and said, "He's just a reckless man."
"Reckless man, why don't you pay him thirty taels?"
"It's only thirty taels, and that guy's surname is also Ma, and he's the fourth in the family..."
"So what? Didn't they also say that the remaining three brothers in the family are all in their forties?"
Zi Liang shook his head cautiously: "It's hard to say. Have you forgotten? Some of our people in the capital sent news that the fourth son of the Ma family is a high official in the capital, and he is very cunning and cunning.
, it’s very difficult to deal with, please help me check it out, this time everyone with the surname Ma will help me pay attention.”
Ximen Jing nodded: "Okay."
Zidian nodded and said, "Have we written our names?"
"Well, I'm about to write. Where should I write?"
Zi Liang thought for a moment and said, "Just write it in the column next to Ma Laosi."
"Okay~"
...
Not long after Ma Xiaoquan left, the eldest lady of the Beiming family (currently Beiming Shuang) finally appeared.
Surrounded by a group of servants and maids of the Beiming family, Beiming Shuang slowly walked onto the street.
Bei Mingshuang's appearance was perfect to the extreme. Her appearance made the rich ladies on both sides of the road who didn't believe how beautiful she was suddenly feel like ugly women.
The men didn't seem very happy, but to outsiders, they naively thought that the eldest lady of the Beiming family was getting married and that was why they were so excited.
Walking to a registration desk, Bei Mingshuang asked a servant: "How many people... came to participate in the open recruitment?"
Beiming's servant said respectfully: "Miss, there are now 262 people, and the number is still rising."
"Why are there so many?" Bei Mingshuang frowned slightly, and suddenly thought of something, she gave a rare smile, "Then hurry up and urge everyone to participate. Well, with so many people, if they come one by one, I'm afraid
It won’t be finished in ten days and a half, so let’s wait for the auditions to be completed after the number of people has been registered.”
"Audition?" Beiming's servant was stunned, not understanding what the eldest lady meant.
"Oh, it's like this. The participants will be inspected in batches to speed up the progress. As for the person responsible for the inspection, grandpa and the family elders will personally check it."
"Yes~"
Bei Mingshuang nodded, stretched out his hand and said, "Show me the roster in your hand."
The servant respectfully handed over the roster.
Bei Mingshuang took the roster and opened it for a while.
When she turned to a certain page, Bei Mingshuang suddenly saw the words "Ma Laosi". Her heart trembled violently, but soon, she turned back a few pages and stayed longer than before.
It's a little longer.
In fact, when she saw the three words "Ma Laosi", Bei Mingshuang was already convinced that Ma Xiaoquan was back, because she knew Ma Xiaoquan's handwriting very well and had seen it many times. Generally speaking, it was just two words.
——Ugly, if there is another description, it must be——as ugly as a dog chewing.
Bei Mingshuang was happy and angry at the same time. This annoying Ma Xiaoquan was back but didn't show up. Now he's still coming to join in the fun and participate in the public recruitment? Really, I don't know what you think, I'm all yours.
It's disgusting that you still torture me like this, Ma Xiaoquan, you are so disgusting...
She was a little angry, but she was really happy. Bei Mingshuang felt so happy for a moment. She closed the book with a snap and said with a smile: "Just do as I say. By the way, this one
Let my grandpa check the list in the booklet for me personally, eh~" With that said, Bei Mingshuang threw the booklet to the servant and turned around to leave.
As soon as Bei Mingshuang left, the young masters who had signed up suddenly became excited. Everyone saw Bei Mingshuang's expression just now. Needless to say, there must be names on the booklet that Miss Bei Ming knew or had a favorable impression of.
A few brave young masters asked Beiming's servants: "Brother, is there any room left in this book? Can my name be written on it?"
"Yes, I want it too, even if I add another thirty taels."
Zi Liang, Ximen Jing and other people who came from Zijia Academy couldn't help it anymore and stepped forward to ask.
Zi Liang asked: "Brother, which pages were your eldest lady looking at just now?"
Beiming's servant shook his head and said: "I didn't see it clearly, it seems like these pages... Oh, there are also these pages..."
When Zi Liang saw those pages, he was a little surprised and said, "Brother, are you sure these are the pages?"
"Yes, Mr. Zi, these are the pages. By the way, the eldest lady has been reading these pages for a while. Well, these are the pages..." After that, Beiming's servant general Beiming
The page that Shuang had deliberately stayed on was turned over to everyone.
