After he and his mother-in-law separated, he built a house and stocked a warehouse full of grain and

Shui Qing didn't pay much attention to whether he passed the imperial examination or not.

Some people are highly knowledgeable, but they are just not suitable for exams; some people are strong in practical skills, but they just don’t do well in exams;

She didn't take the provocations of the three people in front of her to heart, but as a scholar, Fan Jin seemed to attach great importance to the imperial examination. His dark and moist eyes dimmed at this moment, and his eyelids drooped to cover up his disappointment.

She raised her eyebrows and asked, "Whose dog was untied and let out?"

Zheng Pingsheng was very happy when he saw his senior brother being speechless, but suddenly he heard someone calling them dogs, and his anger skyrocketed.

When he saw it was still a woman, he became even more angry. He narrowed his eyes and asked, "Who do you think is a dog?"

"Whoever picks him up is a dog." Shui Qing replied unceremoniously.

Being insinuated that we are dogs, the three scholars couldn't help it. Zhou Wenwen held a folding fan in his hand, pointed at Shui Qing and gritted his teeth and said: "You actually insinuated that we are dogs, you are the dog!"

"Who is the dog scolding?" Shui Qing asked.

"The dog scolded you!" Zhou Wenwen replied without thinking.

Diners at the surrounding tables burst into laughter.

Zheng Pingsheng hurriedly tugged on Zhou Wenwen's sleeves. Zhou Wenwen reacted amidst laughter and his face turned red with anger.

The five dolls were originally going to rush forward when the three of them talked about their father, but now they were all stunned when they saw this.

Fan Jin didn't expect that Shui Qing didn't take it seriously when he heard others mocking him for repeatedly failing, but instead helped him!

These three people are always inseparable when they go out, and they are extremely sarcastic when they meet him. He has always adhered to the principle of staying away as far as possible.

After all, he failed the scientific examination. What others told him was the truth and he couldn't reply.

I have refuted it in the past, but people around me will only blame him and say that he failed the exam. Why can't others say the same?

He said he was not very knowledgeable and had a bad temper.

It is said that he puts his mind on being competitive, no wonder he often fails in the exam...

Others would only blame him, but Shui Qing was different. She didn't care at all whether he was wrong or not, and she defended him with integrity.

Zheng Pingsheng heard the roar of laughter in the hall and looked at Fan Jin, who had lowered his head and gradually raised it again.

He looked at Shui Qing with a look full of contempt and said coldly: "The sage is right, only women and villains are difficult to raise."

Shui Qing: When we quarrel, we quarrel. How can we just talk about gender? Being a woman can still be a reason for him to attack her?

This man only has so much ability!

"The emperor rules the world with filial piety, but you are so unfilial to your mother. You are really unworthy of being a scholar."

Scholars are most afraid of being accused of being unfilial. If it is serious, their official career will be cut off!

Being accused of being unfilial, Zheng Pingsheng became anxious and hurriedly defended: "Why am I unfilial to my mother? You, a village woman, don't talk nonsense!"

Shui Qing sat in front of the table and asked Zheng Pingsheng who was standing leisurely: "You said that it is difficult to raise a woman with a villain. Your mother is not a woman, so you can't be the child of your father and a boy, right?

Since your mother is a woman, is it not unfilial for you to put her with a villain? "

"You, you, you" Zheng Pingsheng blushed and wanted to refute, but he didn't know how to refute.

There were whispers among the diners around.

Sun Qiang saw that the other two companions were all speechless. The three of them had always only talked about others. How had they ever been forced to this point?

Suddenly he lost his temper and took two steps forward to scold Shang Shuiqing: "It is virtue for a woman to have no talent!"

Shuiqing did not argue with him whether this sentence was correct, but asked him: "What is the previous sentence of this sentence? Tell me and let me listen."

Of course Sun Qiang couldn't say that!

If you say that, isn't that just a slap in the face?

But the surrounding diners were unwilling and shouted: "So there is a previous sentence? What is the previous sentence? Tell it quickly and let us listen."

"Is there anything else we can't hear?"

"Hey, three scholars can't be compared with one woman. Come on, tell us and let's judge!"

The diners around were full of wine and food, and they looked like they were not too worried about the excitement.

Zheng Pingsheng and the other three knew that these people regarded them as having fun, but they were in this situation now, and it was impossible to stay, let alone leave.

But getting them to say it was impossible.

As long as they don't tell others, it doesn't count as a loss!

Fan Jin looked at Shui Qing, the disappointment in his dark eyes disappeared completely, he raised a smile and said leisurely: "A man with virtue is a man of talent."

Shui Qing answered the questions of the diners around him: "A promising man should conduct his behavior primarily with virtue, supplemented by talent. He warns every man to pay attention to virtue!

Why are you three here? You only remember the requirements and restrictions on women, but you don't remember anything about yourself. "

The three of them never thought that Fan Jin's wife was knowledgeable.

how can that be possible!

Mrs. Fan Jin is just the daughter of a butcher, how can she know the knowledge in the book? You can still argue with them.

The key point is that they haven't argued yet!

Shanhai Tower is considered to be the best among the restaurants in Guangning. Most of the people who come to eat are businessmen who make money, and they don't know much about refined language.

As soon as Shui Qing explained, they understood immediately!

The status of businessmen in the Ming Kingdom was low. Now that I saw that the scholars who had always been aloof when facing them were just like this, I suddenly felt that people should not be judged by their profession.

There are profiteers among their businessmen, but not all of them are good scholars!

"You're just a scholar? You might as well be a businessman like me!"

"Virtue, I watched it from beginning to end, but I didn't notice a single bit of it."

"Three grown men talked about a woman. Have they forgotten that my mother is also a woman? They go home and are submissive, and show off their power outside!"

The three of them, Zheng Pingsheng, used to come to Shanhailou, wearing long robes that represented scholars. Even if they didn't order many dishes, they were always treated politely and courteously.

When the conversation was good, there were businessmen rushing to help them pay the bill!

Today, they wanted to talk loudly and find a stupid businessman with a lot of money to pay the bill, but they didn't expect that they would be looked down upon by the businessman they always looked down upon.

The three of them were about to turn around and leave when the waiter, holding a large wooden tray, shouted: "Guest, you've been waiting for a long time! Your food is here."

I saw braised pork, stir-fried baby chicken, smooth egg and shrimp, steamed fish, braised rabbit... everything was delicious, and the three of them swallowed hard.

Shui Qing was not one to talk easily, and now he even beat up the drowned dog, asking: "We were having a good meal, but the three of you started taunting us when we ate steamed buns at a roadside stall. The three of you looked down upon us and opened your eyes." Take a good look, are we ordering steamed buns?

By the way, I heard you mention it just now, who is already a scholar? The next step is to enter the officialdom and become a parent officer. Can you be a parent officer with your virtue?

Let’s talk about who is the scholar, and let everyone have a good look at the scholar’s ​​style! "

Zheng Pingsheng originally loved to see Fan Jin, his wife's favorite disciple who later became his father-in-law, unable to lift his head, but now he was the one unable to lift his head, and he wished he could run away with oil on his soles.

In particular, he was afraid of others knowing his name.
