"My humble work...my humble work does not deserve such praise."
Tian Xiucai waved his hands repeatedly with a smile on his face.
Bai Guina is a three-level scholar. If Xunqing hadn't disappeared, he would have been selected. Moreover, he also heard that several colleges and universities in the provincial capital have collections of Bai Meihe's works. Bai Meihe is not only famous in Qin Province, but also famous in Qin Province.
He is also a great writer in Japan.
For such a person, if one evaluates his works, one sentence would be a high praise.
"Friend Tian, you deserve it, you deserve it."
Bai Gui cheered.
Don't reach out and hit the smiling person.
Although Tian Xiucai has all kinds of objections to Tian Xiao'e, he is not necessarily rude to him now. If he suddenly becomes cold-faced, that's something wrong. In this era, biological fathers and mothers have absolute power to deal with their children. Guo Juburian, who is twenty-four filial piety
Although extreme, it inevitably reflects the horror of filial piety at this time...
If he talks too much, it would be "unreasonable"!
It is not difficult for him to solve the problem of Tian Xiucai, but what really needs to be solved is the chronic chronic disease of feudalism. However, this cannot be done in a short time. So instead of doing this, it is better to act according to the rules of the old era, and there will be less trouble.
Then Tian Xiucai took Bai Gui to appreciate his "clumsy works", and Bai Gui praised them one by one.
"Friend Tian, now that stereotyped writing has been abolished and the imperial examination is blocked, with your knowledge, it is feasible to go out and find a job. It is inevitable that you will be a little bit stuck in the pile of old papers all day long..."
"I think with your status as a scholar, there is no risk of you becoming a teacher in the school."
During the conversation, Bai Gui couldn't help but give some advice.
Literary people in this era are still rare. It is certainly feasible for him to criticize Tian Xiucai's morality in the future. But if Tian Xiucai can be allowed to go out to teach, it will not only allow him to make a living for himself, but also make a contribution to education, which is considered a good thing.
"this……"
Tian Xiucai condensed his words.
Bai Gui raised his eyebrows when he saw this and stopped trying to persuade him.
It’s hard to persuade the damn ghost!
Tian Xiucai's family is struggling to make ends meet, and anyone with a discerning eye can see this. If he doesn't go out and find a good job, he will just sit around and have nothing to do. I don't know how many people have said this.
However, Tian Xiucai seemed to have automatically filtered this message and switched to talking about other things.
After a while, the talented lady knocked on the study door.
Invite them both to sit down in the living room.
The vegetables on the dinner table are simple, but there are still some meaty and spicy dishes.
"Why do you need this little thing?"
Tian Xiucai frowned, "My friend Bai is here to give me face for the first time. These three or four dishes are too shabby. This is a little money. You go to the street to sell wine and buy some cooked meat."
As he spoke, he took off his purse and took out a few taels of silver.
"No, these meals are ready."
Bai Gui waved his hand and said.
He personally prefers good food, but like studying in Bailu Village, he can delay enjoying it. Besides, the food on the table is really not bad. There are vegetables and meat, and ordinary people can only eat meat during the Chinese New Year.
Upon seeing this, Tian Xiucai gave up and took back the silver.
The money he had was becoming less and less as he used it. There was water to irrigate the fields at home, but he refused to work in the fields. His wife’s feet were bound and it was inconvenient to work in the fields, so she had to hire long-term workers. After going back and forth, the family did not have much money every year.
, and when he goes out to make friends, buy ink ingots and paper, have banquets and other things, the money is really not enough.
However, Tian Xiucai was not being polite, but after Bai Gui's words, he felt that it was a pity to spend money, so he took back his hand.
Dinner is over.
Tian Xiucai still has a place to stay at his home.
In the prepared guest room, the scholar lady laid out a new quilt and sheets, took out the new wax from the bottom of the box, and arranged it properly.
As for the handlebar type two bolts, it is a cowshed.
These days, few people who work hard have never slept in a cowshed.
This is not considered slow waiting!
Guest room.
New wax ignites.
"What do you think? I redeemed you, gave you the deed of sale, and went home with you..."
"You can't stay in the Tian family. I know that. Without me, your father will be nervous sooner or later and will sell you. Then you will be worse than Guo Juren..."
Bai Gui sat on the edge of the bed, looked at Tian Xiao'e who came in with him, and asked softly.
At this moment, he had basically helped Tian Xiaoe do everything properly and had a way out.
Unity of knowledge and action.
It's time to confess.
It was impossible to send Tian Xiao'e back to Tian's family. After only a short time together with Tian Xiucai, he knew that Tian Xiao'e was unreliable. And if Tian Xiao'e married again, the person she would marry would definitely be inferior to Guo Juren. After all, she had already married once.
"I want to follow you."
Tian Xiao'e took half a step forward and said nervously.
Bai Gui: "..."
He knew that after questioning, this would be the result.
If Tian Xiao'e is a ruthless person and gets into a relationship with him, she will never give up. If she is a ruthless person, these actions of his can be regarded as a great favor. He is good-looking, and he will not spend the rest of his life being a cow or a horse, and he will commit himself to her in this life.
That's the right thing to do.
Seeing Bai Gui continue to hesitate, Tian Xiao'e felt a chill in her heart, but she still smiled and said: "Ms. Bai, you said you were willing to bet five sons with me, but I haven't bet enough yet."
"I remember there is a Go player in my father's room. I'll find him and let's continue playing chess."
As she spoke, she went out.
Go is a form of play. Anyone who has studied poetry and calligraphy and has a little extra money at home will prepare a game of Go. Not to mention the family of Tian Xiucai, playing chess is also a kind of social interaction in ancient times.
No, it would be very embarrassing.
Not long after Tian Xiao'e left, she and Tian Xiucai knocked on the door and came in.
Tian Xiucai was carrying the chess board, while Tian Xiao'e was holding two chess pots.
One after the other.
"My friend Bai is so excited, I will play a game of chess with my friend Bai..."
Tian Xiucai laid out the Go chess piece, smiled, and prepared to take a seat.
He refused to miss a chance to make friends with Bai Gui.
Sometimes I make friends with noble people...,
Can change your life!
"father!"
Tian Xiao'e called to stop.
Tian Xiucai then smiled and left the stage.
"I'll close the door."
Tian Xiao'e hurried to the door and bolted it.
"Playing chess?"
"Really playing chess?"
Bai Gui raised his eyebrows, secretly thinking that this had tricked him again.
A man and a woman living alone in the same room... only playing chess are really unpleasant to the scenery. Now it is different from the previous time in Guo Ju's house. I feel guilty in Guo Ju's house.
"Ms. Bai, of course we are playing chess."
"Are you thinking about studying things again?"
Tian Xiao'e realized that she might have figured out Bai Gui's character. A gentleman like Bai Gui pays attention to elegance. When she came up, she was too anxious, which made Bai Gui too scared, so he didn't dare to say anything.
After all, Bai Gui is just about to get engaged. He is young and has no wives or concubines at home...
I guess I've never been close to a woman.
Of course, now that she has obtained the deed of betrayal, she feels that she is completely a person and is no longer Guo Juren's concubine. She does not want to offend herself again, so she answers like this.
In the past, she belonged to Guo Juren, and if she tried to abuse her again, she would be betrayed by Guo Juren.
But now she wants to live well.
live for yourself!
"Okay! Let's play chess."
Bai Gui was helpless.
He could see the transformation in Tian Xiao'e's eyes.
There is a saying that goes well.
If she is new to the world, take her to see all the prosperity of the world; if her heart has gone through vicissitudes of life, take her to ride the merry-go-round.
And he... seemed to have inadvertently made Tian Xiao'e truly feel that he was a gentleman, so if he was too explicit in their interactions, it would be an insult to him, a gentleman.
The chess games are over.
Bai Gui looked at the burned out new wax and sighed. Only the fragrance of the beauty was left in the room.
"But this is fine..."
"Moth, a moth in the field, it should transform, not become ashes in the fireworks!"
"Really live for yourself!"
He calmed down and felt that his moral character had improved a lot.
