Surprisingly, the person who repeatedly failed did not show any distress in his eyes; instead, he exuded a cheerful and refined air.
This mindset alone is something the four people mentioned above cannot match.
He looked up at the four men and preemptively said, "Is it the act of a true man to mock others? You four have disgraced all scholars in the world!"
Zheng Pingsheng and the other three were taken aback.
In the past, they were the ones who said others had disgraced all scholars, but today a ragged beggar has said it?!
"You little beggar!"
"Do you even have the right to speak here?"
"Who are you? If you keep talking nonsense, I'll call the constables to chase you away!"
...
Fan He was displeased and defended his brother, saying, "Who are you calling a beggar! This is my elder brother!"
"Come, come, bring the constables here. Let us see that just because you're dressed in rags, you can't walk on the street? Is this street only for you to walk on?"
Fan Jin looked at his second son, who was in a foul mood, and smiled. He said in a deep voice, "Let's go. We still need to help Yan Qiu wash and rinse the rice when we get home."
Shuiqing is right, making money is the most important thing.
Having enough to eat, clothes to wear, and a place to live are more important than anything else for a family.
As Fan He was being led away, he would occasionally turn back and shout at the four people on the second-floor railing, "My father is much more powerful than you!"
"You are no match for my father!"
"Come down here if you dare!"
The four people on the second floor of Shan Hai Lou were so angry that their chests heaved violently.
They couldn't have really lost, so why are they so angry?
Is it about seeing someone who was once at the bottom of society have a chance to turn their life around?
Or do you see people who were never happy before suddenly living better and more freely than them?
But it's alright, Fan Jin hasn't really turned his life around!
He's still selling alcohol; his life is nowhere near as good as theirs...
The door to the side room slowly opened, and a young man with an angry glare emerged from inside.
Zhao Fugui squinted at the boy and felt that he looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him before.
Two middle-aged men and women, dressed simply yet in a low-key but luxurious manner, emerged from the side room, followed by the bowing and scraping manager of Shan Hai Lou.
Zhao Fugui's expression changed.
Shan Hai Lou is a property of the Bai family. The manager has always been polite and courteous to the people of Guangning Prefecture, and has never been so humble before.
At this point, the shopkeeper introduced the four people one by one.
Bai Manshan wore a kind smile as he earnestly confirmed with the four people, "The Zhao family of the west of the city?"
Zhao Fugui knew this person was no ordinary person, and hurriedly nodded.
"Students of Tianhong Academy: Zheng Pingsheng, Zhou Wenzhang, and Sun Qiang?"
Zheng Pingsheng and the other two nodded hastily.
Thinking he had been chosen by a distinguished person, Zheng Pingsheng quickly asked, "Who are you?"
Bai Manshan still smiled warmly and waved his hand, saying, "No rush, no rush."
You'll find out in time, or you may never find out.
He then said to the shopkeeper, "Put the expenses for these four young masters today on my tab."
After all, they would no longer have the money to come to Shan Hai Lou, or rather, they would no longer have the money to eat out.
Zheng Pingsheng and his companions thought smugly, "Another merchant has been impressed by the scholar's talent."
Only Zhao Fugui felt a sudden, inexplicable panic, as if his wealthy days were about to end...
