Probably because he heard the conversation outside, he stopped reading inside.

Not long after, a door was pushed open and a handsome young man came out, "Brother, what did the county magistrate say? Did he agree?!"

Bai Lixin looked at the young man opposite him, he was about seventeen or eighteen years old, and his facial features were a bit younger than Xia Chi's.

He wore a clean bright blue robe, which made him look like a crown jewel without being exaggerated.

Zhang Biao coughed lightly: "Brother, this is Mr. Bai Lixin, please meet Mr. soon."

The young man then turned his attention to Bai Lixin and bowed respectfully, "I have met Mr. Bai Lixin."

There was a faint expression of pride on Zhang Biao's face, and he smiled at Bai Lixin: "My younger brother is the most polite."

Bai Lixin bowed his head and said, "That's polite."

Zhang Biao: "Sir, stop standing here. Let's go in and talk."

The three of them walked into the main hall together. As soon as they sat down, the young man asked again: "Brother, what did the county magistrate say? Can I become a master in your Yamen?"

He looked at Zhang Biao eagerly, his face full of expectation.

Zhang Biao looked at Bai Lixin and explained with some embarrassment: "Brother, Mr. Bai Lixin is the master of our yamen. He is very talented and is more than qualified for the position of master."

The young man who was originally smiling suddenly turned down his face, "But, brother, didn't you say that you are 90% sure that you can succeed? You promised me, and you have to do it if you promise. If you can't do it, you shouldn't have done it in the first place.

Promise me!"

Zhang Biao looked a little flustered: "Brother, don't be angry. I also said that it is 90% sure, not 100% sure. Sir, he is very good, he..."

Zhang Biao suddenly stopped talking.

He wanted to say, "Bai Lixin is more suitable for the position of being indifferent than you," but he couldn't say this at all, because in his mind, his younger brother was the best person in the world.

And he can't say it. If these words come out of his mouth, my little brother will definitely feel sad.

Zhang Biao lowered his head and swallowed the last sentence.

The young man stood up and looked at Zhang Biao with a cold face: "Brother, I have never asked you for anything since I was a child, and I have never asked you for anything. Now I ask you this one thing, and you can't even do it.

.You used to tell me how powerful you were in the government office and how much the county magistrate relied on you. I think these words were just meant to frame me."

"I'm just a fool. I believe whatever you say. Now I'm fine. I've been deceived by you all over the place. Not only did you not help me win the position of master, but you also brought people home to show me. You are clearly cheating on me.

I have a knife in my heart."

"What do you want me to see? See that he is more handsome than me? See that he is better than me?"

"Brother, you are my brother, how could you do this to me? You chill me so much."

The young man talked a lot like a kid, then suddenly turned around and opened the door to leave.

Soon, Bai Lixin heard a heavy slamming of the door from the next room.

Zhang Biao smiled at Bai Lixin with some embarrassment: "Children, it is inevitable that they will have a bit of a temper. Sir, it's funny. When I was his age, I was even more tempered. I was the devil here at that time. Who can

If I see you, I will run away."

"My brother learned some bad habits because he saw me like this. I also regret it. If I knew that my brother would be like this, I wouldn't have been so bad in the past."

After saying that, Zhang Biao blushed again and changed the subject with some embarrassment, "Sir, I will make you some tea."

As soon as he stood up from the chair, a figure walked in.

"Biaozi, why did you make your brother unhappy?"

An old woman came in. Judging by her age, she must be Zhang Biao's mother. Of course, her tone of voice sounded similar to hers.

"Mom, I can't help my brother."

Different from his arrogance in the yamen, Zhang Biao at home was like a tiger with its teeth pulled out, not daring to make a sound.

He explained the ins and outs of the future, and then heard the woman opposite sigh: "It's true of you, you know that your brother is a scholar, and you always think more than us. It's not your brother's fault to bring people back like this.

Sprinkle salt?”

"Mom," Zhang Biao explained anxiously, "but my husband is really good. He even went to the casino today to save one of my brothers. If it hadn't been for him, my brother would have been beaten to death."

"The person next to you is the gentleman, and the person in the yamen is a brother. Don't forget, there is a real brother at home?" The woman glanced at Zhang Biao disapprovingly, "It's rare for your brother to have something he wants to do."

"And you entered the casino again? Have you forgotten what my mother said? Didn't I say that? If you step into the casino again, you will kneel in front of your father and punish yourself with thirty lashes.

"

"Zhang Biao, I don't ask you to become a great hero. Your meager salary will be enough for our family to feed and clothe our family. Is your brother greedy if he wants to work in the yamen? No, he just wants to make more money.

We are going to take the provincial examination in a few months, what do you think we can give to your brother now that our family is living in poverty?"

Priscilla: "But he was in the casino to save people."

"It's not possible to save people!" The woman glanced at Bailixin, "Sir, this is our family's family matter. Please don't interfere."

Zhang Biao secretly shook his head at Bai Lixin. His tall body hunched in front of the thin woman, and he lowered his head and replied dejectedly: "Okay, mother, I will go and receive the punishment after your husband has finished his meal.

"

"Dinner?" The woman pursed her lips, "If I didn't hear it just now, the gentleman next to you also entered the casino, right? He rescued your brother, how did he rescue him? Could it be that he also used gambling?

Was it saved?"

"Zhang Biao, you should know what I hate most, right? I will not provide food to gamblers."

After the woman finished speaking, the boy's roar came from the next room: "Let my brother go! I don't want to see him!"

Zhang Biao's expression became more and more embarrassed.

He didn't expect that things would develop like this.

Looking at Bai Lixin guiltily, he was a little at a loss.

The gentleman obviously did nothing wrong. Not only did he save people, he also closed the casino.

In the end, Bai Lixin said with a smile, "In that case, I'll take my leave."

After that, Bai Lixin didn't stay any longer, passed the woman and walked out.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Biao hurriedly chased out, ran to Bai Lixin and said anxiously: "Sir, I've made you feel wronged, I'm sorry!"

Priscilla: "It doesn't matter to me. You'd better go and appease your mother and brother. Your mother seems to hate gambling?"

Zhang Biao: "Whether you believe it or not, my mother is not usually like this. Today it may be because my brother was angry, so my mother used this reason to get angry."

"Our family really hates gambling because my father was beaten to death because of gambling. I was twelve years old and my brother was only five years old."

"After my father died, my mother made me and my brother swear an oath on my father's memorial tablet that we would never gamble."

"I usually like to play dice, but I don't dare to play at home. I only dare to play a few games with my brothers in the Yamen."

"After my father died, the family's financial resources were suddenly cut off. In order to support us two brothers, my mother fished in the river in the winter and sewed handicrafts for others at night."

"I have done all the dirty and tiring work, and the money is barely enough to pay off the debt. My father is dead, but we still have to pay back the money he owed."

"They often come to my house to make trouble, and once they even wanted to touch my mother."

Bai Lixin interrupted Zhang Biao: "That's why you became the little bully, just to use your fierceness to make these people restrain themselves? When did you come out to work?"

Zhang Biao: "Ah, sir, your guess is correct. It was indeed to intimidate those people that I started fighting everywhere and getting violent."

They happened to pass by a noodle stall. It was just getting dark and the stall was not busy. Bai Lixin pointed to an empty table and said, "If you are not in a hurry, we can go over there and chat slowly. I am very touched by your experience.

Interested."

Zhang Biao must have agreed: "Oh, of course, I can't go back now. I will go back when they are less angry."

The two found a clean table and sat down. Zhang Biao immediately asked: "Sir, what would you like to eat?"

Bai Li Xin: "Yangchun Noodles."

Zhang Biao nodded quickly, "Boss, let's have two bowls of Yangchun noodles and a side dish."

After ordering food, Zhang Biao apologized: "I originally wanted to entertain you sir, but ended up at a roadside stall. I'm so sorry."

Bai Lixin shook his head indifferently: "It doesn't matter, you can continue talking about where you came from. Oh, how old were you when you came out to work?"

Zhang Biao: "I started working when I was thirteen years old. I didn't want my mother to be so tired, but fortunately, although I was young, I was big and could do a lot of menial and heavy work. In those years, I worked hard and made some money.

The small amount of money was given to my father to pay off his gambling debts."

"I liked the job in the yamen very much. I felt that I could punish evil and promote good, so I went to the yamen to report to the yamen. I had strength and some martial arts, and I easily became a policeman. Later, because I did a good job, I became a policeman.

Capture the head.”

"But you should also be able to see that I am getting impatient." Zhang Biao scratched his head in embarrassment, "I was used to talking like this when I was a child. Although I stopped using it later, I can't change it anymore. It's always been like this."

Bai Lixin: "You started working to make money to support your family when you were thirteen years old. How old is your brother this year?"

Zhang Biao: "I am actually eighteen years old this year."

Priscilla: "Then what has your brother done?"

Zhang Biao: "My brother, sir, please don't misunderstand my brother. He is very diligent. My mother has always hoped that our family will have an educated person. I can't do it, but my brother can. In order to supplement the family income,

He would sometimes go to the homes of non-members and serve as a gentleman."

Bai Lixin looked at Zhang Biao's anxious expression and asked, "Did your brother take any money from home?"

Zhang Biao: "Yes, my brother's money was given to my mother. My mother saved it for him to buy a house and marry a wife in the future."

Bai Lixin: "What about your house? Are you not marrying a wife?"

"Of course I will marry, our family is very good. I am a rough man, and I just need a place to live. But my brother is different. When he was young, in order to avoid debt collectors, my mother kept him in the care of relatives.

"That relative of ours is quite rich, and my brother has been accustomed to living in a big house since he was a child. As an older brother, I am not capable. If I could make more money, I would have bought my brother's house long ago."

Bai Lixin fell into silence: "."

His younger brother went to work as a teacher in Yuanwai's family. Is it because he didn't want to stay in this family and wanted to live in a good house?
