The Prodigal Son’s Happy Life - Chapter 1001

[Chapter 1001 The scholar reads the notice]

“Thank you, Master!”

Xiuer’s delicate little face showed a look of joy.

Fang Xiu reached out and touched her head, then led her towards the city gate.

The capital city of Jinzhou is not that big, and you can reach many places on foot without even using a carriage.

It only takes ten minutes to walk from Fang Xiu’s place to the city gate.

Xiu’er was right, there was indeed a notice posted at the city gate.

There were also many people surrounding this notice and joining in the fun, but they had no idea what was written on it.

Fang Xiu stepped forward to take a look, but saw a familiar figure among the crowd.

Wearing a green shirt in the middle of winter, holding a folding fan in hand, fanning gently, he was obviously shivering from the cold, but he gritted his teeth and persisted.

That’s right, the official nephew of the prefect of Jinzhou, Zhao Ziping, is standing next to the notice.

At this moment, he was standing next to the notice, holding on and reading the content on the notice.

The people below asked curiously: “Mr. Zhao, Mr. Zhao, what is written on this notice?”

“Yes! Mr. Zhao, you are a scholar, please read it to us quickly!”

Zhao Ziping heard the people say They were talking about it, and I wanted to scold: I’m watching it right now! What are you urging!

But I heard that sentence, Mr. Zhao, you are a scholar.

The original resentment disappeared instantly and was replaced by joy.

With a faint smile on his face, he looked at the notice and read word for word: “The pirates are raging in Jinzhou Port, the current guard is exhausted, and the troops are tired.”

After reading for a long time, the people were serious Listen.

After Zhao Ziping finished reading, he looked around, glanced at everyone, and asked: “Do you understand everything?”

Everyone looked at each other, but shook their heads and said: “I don’t understand. I have been saying this for a long time, what is it ?

What do you mean?”

“It seems that pirates are coming.” “

There are no pirates in Jinzhou Port?”

“That’s right! “

You won’t go ashore, you won’t come to Jinzhou Prefecture!”

“Didn’t the British build a Jinzhou Guard Station? Where are the soldiers at the Guard Station?”

Everyone was talking about it. After hearing this, I felt so depressed that I wanted to vomit blood.

I have been reading about feelings here for so long, and everyone can understand them, so why have I wasted my time here?

Looking at these people, he became more and more impatient and wanted to curse.

However, before he could speak, an old man on crutches was heard tremblingly: “Mr. Zhao, what does this notice mean? We have never read books and can’t understand it. You are a scholar, please give me a message.” Let’s explain.” When

the scholar

Zhao Ziping heard these three words, his eyes suddenly lit up.

I am a scholar, and a scholar must have the bearing of a scholar, not like those arrogant warriors.

The sage once said that the common people need education.

If these people have all read books and understand everything, then what should I, a scholar, do?

So, he explained loudly: “Actually, there is no content, it is very simple. This notice is to say that a group of pirates suddenly appeared at Jinzhou Port. We want to go fishing recently, so we can take a rest in the past few days. .

In addition, the soldiers of the Jinzhou Guards and the soldiers in the military camp are all tired during this period, and their numbers are small. It is enough to protect everyone on land, but it is not as good as fighting those pirates in the sea. , I hope everyone will sign up enthusiastically to form another bandit to fight off the pirates!”

When he said this, his voice was trembling, but he still gritted his teeth and refused to put on more clothes! A large cloak.

At the same time, fan yourself from time to time.

In his eyes, this is what scholars should be like.

Standing in front of this city gate was an insult to his status as the son of a noble family.

But only here, only when facing these farmers who cannot read a single Chinese character, can his sense of superiority as a scholar be reflected.

Other places, whether it is Goulan, a brothel, or a restaurant.

The other people are also scholars, and they also recite poems and write poems, but he can’t compare to

him standing on the stage alone, feeling proud that he is a scholar.

The people in the audience got into discussions because of this notice.

“What? Are there really pirates?”

“According to Mr. Zhao, these pirates are quite powerful. The soldiers from the guard station and the soldiers from the military camp can’t defeat them. What’s the use of us?”

“That’s right! That’s right, it’s okay for us to farm. If we go to fight, we might as well go to work in Kyoto Prefecture!”

“I heard that you can earn three taels of silver a month when building roads in Kyoto Prefecture! It’s better than fishing.

“To be honest, if I were younger, I would go to Kyoto to build roads!”

“

Who wouldn’t?”

“Then the pirates come and come. As long as they don’t attack the city of Jinzhou Prefecture, if that doesn’t work, let’s go to Kyoto Prefecture to find a way out. We won’t starve to death after all.”

Fang Xiu stood in the crowd, listening to everyone’s words. There was discussion, eyes darkened.

The prefect issued this notice, which was beyond his expectation.

This is even more true with the voices of the people talking.

He had never thought that these people were so disgusted with joining the army.

He sighed leisurely, and for a moment he didn’t know what to say.

At this time, Mr. Zhao seemed to have discovered something. His eyes suddenly lit up and he walked towards Fang Xiu.

“Hey, boy, aren’t you the one who blocked my way at the city gate yesterday? Why, I didn’t bring your guards with me today!”

Fang Xiu raised his eyes, glanced at Zhao Ziping, and said angrily: “I’m in a bad mood, don’t mess with me”

“”

Zhao Ziping’s expression froze for a moment when he heard this.

Then, with an angry look on his face, he glared at Fang Xiu and said angrily: “I am a scholar. Do you know what is the crime for insulting a scholar?”

Xiu’er stood beside her young master and looked Zhao Ziping up and down. The delicate little face said with great disdain: “You can be considered a scholar, let alone my young master, you are probably not as good as me.

Only here, facing these illiterate common people, can you barely be regarded as half a scholar?” Scholar, are you considered a scholar in other places?”

What Xiu’er dislikes the most is someone having a bad attitude towards her young master.

Mr. Zhao targeted his young master yesterday, but the young master did not cause trouble for him. He did not expect that he would come over again today.

When Zhao Ziping heard this, anger burst out from his eyes, he glared at Xiu’er, and said angrily: “You are a woman who knows this.”

He wanted to curse, but then he remembered that he was a scholar, so he swallowed the last word hard. He turned back and said: “What do you know!”
