Zhuqing and the others were riding in a car. When they passed through the bustling area of the county town, she asked the driver to stop.
"Mom, I'm going to the book store to buy some pen and paper for my brother. Shan'er has been looking forward to it for a long time." Zhu Qing said to Wang as she got out of the car.
"Okay, by the way, let's bring some meat buns back to Zhushan! This kid has never eaten meat buns in his whole life!" Mrs. Wang nodded.
She has always been generous in spending money on Zhuqing and Zhushan.
So the two of them first went to a famous bun shop in the county to buy five meat buns, and then went to a bookstore to buy paper and pen for Zhushan.
"Brother, how do you sell this paper and pen?" Zhu Qing and the others went to the Lanxiangzhai Bookstore in the county town, which was very elegantly decorated.
When the mother and daughter walked in, they found that there were many young people dressed as scholars. When they saw Zhu Qing and the others, their faces were full of surprise.
Hearing that Zhuqing actually asked about the price of paper and pen, before the waiter in the store could answer, someone said with disdain: "Can village women like you actually be literate? Can you buy paper and pen?
What's the use? I advise you to go to a sewing shop!"
The speaker was a young man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, and the clothes he wore looked very high-quality, but as soon as he opened his mouth, it immediately made people feel sick to their stomachs.
When he said this, Wang's face immediately turned red, and she subconsciously pulled Zhuqing's sleeve, meaning to simply quit with her.
In Wang's mind, scholars are superior to others. They are just country women. If someone says this to them, they would not dare to reject it. It is better to simply avoid them.
But Zhuqing didn't intend to buy it. She glanced at the sharp-mouthed monkey-cheeked man, but smiled scornfully, and then said: "I remember the saints said that there is no distinction between education and discrimination. So what's wrong with us being village women? Can't village women be able to study?
Do you know how to read? You look well-dressed, but why are you not as knowledgeable as me?"
The sharp-mouthed monkey's face turned red when Zhuqing slapped him, and he suddenly became angry: "Ignorant girl, you, do you know who I am? How dare you contradict me with such nonsense!"
Zhuqing smiled contemptuously at him and asked: "Huh, do you know who this girl is? We two have the ability to go out on the street and introduce ourselves to see if there are more people who know you or me.
many!"
The sharp-mouthed monkey-cheeked man was surprisingly brave when he saw Zhuqing. Thinking that she was just a country girl and could be known by a few people, he said: "Go out when you go out! But when we do this, there must be an explanation, otherwise no one will be with you."
?”
Zhu Qing nodded: "If you win, my mother and I will no longer set foot in this bookstore. If I win, you have to buy me a set of pens, inks, paper and inkstones as an apology!"
The sharp-mouthed monkey-cheeked man realized that Zhuqing had absolutely no chance of winning, so he was very happy: "Okay, that's it! It's just a set of pen, ink, paper and inkstone, what's it worth?"
So Zhuqing suppressed her laughter and left the study room with him.
The dispute between the two of them naturally attracted the attention of other customers in the store. When they saw that they actually placed bets in the end, the customers in the store became even more enthusiastic.
Most of them are hot-blooded young people who usually have nothing to do but look for something to do, let alone something exciting to watch. So they all gathered together in a swarm.
In the crowd, a young man saw Zhu Qing and frowned: "Why is she here?"
A young man next to him noticed something strange about him, but he winked: "Cousin, what, do you know this village girl?"
What answered him was a super eye roll from Zhou Zhengnan.
Seeing Zhu Qing and the sharp-mouthed monkey-cheeked boy leaving the study room together, Zhou Zhengnan and Bai Zhiyuan also followed everyone out. The sharp-mouthed monkey-cheeked boy was quite cunning. As soon as he went out, he shouted: "Dear friends, I
This is Pang Longzhu, the son of Pang County Cheng of our county. Do you know Pang County Cheng?"
As a public figure in the county, there are not many people in Changshan County who don’t know Pang Xian Cheng, so many people watching the excitement booed: “I know him, I know him!”
When Pang Longzhu saw this situation, he couldn't help but feel proud: "Girl, you saw it, I think you should give in quickly! Let me tell you, there is no one in Changshan County who doesn't know my father!"
Zhuqing smiled at him, saluted everyone onlookers, and then said: "Dear elders, this little girl is not talented, but she is Sun Zhuqing from Cuizhu Village! She helped the county government catch the scarred tiger a while ago!"
As soon as Zhu Qing said these words, it was like a drop of water falling into a hot oil pan, and everyone was in an uproar.
"Wow, so you are that Miss Sun?"
"Wow, girl, you are amazing!"
"Oh, this girl looks so young, but she is so brave! It's not easy!"
Everyone was talking a lot, and they all couldn't help but stepped forward to say hello to Zhu Qing.
Pang Longzhu couldn't help being surprised when he saw that Zhuqing had caused such a strong response from everyone.
He didn't expect that the plain-looking country girl in front of him, who was simply dressed in simple clothes, was actually the girl who had received a commendation from the county government a while ago!
Seeing Zhu Qing being praised by everyone, he was quite unconvinced and couldn't help but mutter: "Humph, who doesn't know that the girl who was awarded the award is from Cuizhu Village? If you say so, you are the one? Nope.
People can prove it to you!"
Zhuqing was stunned when he heard this, thinking that there were so many people, how could anyone know her? This guy with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks is really annoying!
Pang Longzhu saw her reaction and couldn't help but feel proud: "Hey, don't be fooled by this girl! She said she was Sun Zhuqing, is she Sun Zhuqing?"
In the crowd, Bai Zhiyuan winked at Zhou Zhengnan: "Hey, is this Miss Sun the one my aunt has arranged for you to marry? I think she is quite smart, but she doesn't seem to have grown up yet! If no one wants to marry her now
Testify, I’m afraid she’ll lose this round. Do you think she’ll cry if she loses?”
He was answered with a cold eye roll from Zhou Zhengnan.
Then, with Bai Zhiyuan's expression of watching a good show, Zhou Zhengnan walked out of the crowd.
"She is Sun Zhuqing, I can prove this! She rescued me when Scar Tiger kidnapped me! And she also saved my grandmother before!" Zhou Zhengnan's voice was unhurried and unhurried. Listening to Zhu Zhengnan
The green ears do not listen to the sounds of nature.
This Zhou Zhengnan is quite conscientious. At the critical moment, he actually came out to rescue her.
"Thank you, Mr. Zhou!" Zhu Qing nodded and saluted him.
Looking at the smile on the girl's face in front of him, Zhou Zhengnan suddenly thought of the marriage his mother had arranged for him, and his face couldn't help but feel a little hot.
"You're welcome! You are my savior. It's just a little effort for me to do this!" Zhou Zhengnan avoided Zhu Qing's salute and said in a cold voice.
"Since Mr. Zhou said yes, then this girl must be Miss Sun Zhuqing! Pang Longzhu, you lose!" In the crowd, Bai Zhiyuan started to boo at the right time.
With him taking the lead, everyone started talking and seeking justice for Zhu Qing.
Pang Longzhu didn't expect that Zhuqing was actually the girl who received the award. He could quibble before, but now that Mr. Zhou, whom everyone in the county knew, came forward to testify, he couldn't deny it at all.
So he had to pretend to be generous and said: "I am willing to admit defeat! Today I am blind to gold and jade, and I misunderstood you, Miss Sun! Okay, the previous bet was a set of pen, ink, paper and inkstone, I will give it to you immediately!"
As he spoke, he walked into Lanxiangzhai Study House and said to the waiter: "Here is a set of the best four treasures of the study in your store, and I will give it to Miss Sun!"
Zhuqing followed him into the study room and did not ignore his aching expression, so he stepped forward with a smile to stop him: "Young Master Pang, you don't need the best! I just bought it back for my younger brother to practice with. I only need the best."
The basic ones are fine. It’s so good that it would be a waste for us to use it.”
Hearing what Zhu Qing said, Pang Longzhu's heart relaxed, and the smile on his face became more genuine: "Miss Sun, you really don't want the best? Things from Lanxiangzhai are very rare!"
He just deliberately said he wanted the best, but actually his heart ached. Without him, this set of Lanxiangzhai's best set of Four Treasures of the Study would cost him several months' worth of money.
Of course, if Zhu Qing didn't stop him, he would have no choice but to bite the bullet and buy it as a gift for her to save face. Now that Zhu Qing stopped it, it gave him a big benefit, and he had to accept her favor.
Zhu Qing nodded to him: "My brother-in-law is just getting started, as long as he can use the simplest ones. It's really not necessary!"
So Pang Longzhu was completely relieved and said to the waiter: "I heard it. Just do what Miss Sun said and get her a set!"
The waiter nodded after hearing this.
After a while, he held out two sets of pens, inks, paper and inkstones, and said to Zhuqing: "Miss Sun, this set of simple four treasures of the study belongs to Mr. Pang. This set of exquisite works was given to me by our master.
Yours. He said that you captured Scared Tiger that day and helped rid our county of harm. He admires you as a person, so he specially presented you with a set of the Four Treasures of the Study as a token of his appreciation!"
Zhuqing didn't expect that something like this would happen after he revealed his identity. He couldn't help but feel embarrassed for a moment: "Little brother, this, this can't be done! I have no merit and no reward, so I can't accept such a heavy gift.
of!"
But the waiter in the shop looked embarrassed: "Miss Sun, just accept it! If you refuse to accept it, our master will definitely think that I am not doing things well, and maybe he will not let me work here anymore."
He said it sincerely, but Zhu Qing had no choice but to say to him: "In that case, I will accept it without mercy! Thank you master!"
She thought to herself that when she was able in the future, she would still have to find out who the owner of Lanxiangzhai was, and then she would have to return the favor properly.
When Zhuqing and Wang came out of Lanxiangzhai and returned to the mule cart, they were overwhelmed by the cart full of things.
"What do you mean?" Zhu Qing looked at the driver with a confused expression.
The coachman looked at Zhu Qing excitedly: "Miss Sun, so you are Miss Sun? I will waive the fare for this trip! I will return the money to Mr. Mo later! This
The things in the car are all sent to you by the shop owners on this street. You see, food, clothing, use, and entertainment are all available! Guys, this is all
Thank you for catching the scarred tiger!"
Zhuqing looked at the coachman who looked at her with admiration, and couldn't tell how she felt.
The people of these ancient times were really simple and honest!
Such a situation is probably something that is unimaginable in modern times.
In modern society, there are many examples of people who dare not help an old man who has fallen to the ground. There are also heroes who have acted bravely and paid the price of their lives, but they have not received a word of thanks and recognition from the rescued!
Zhuqing works in a hospital and has seen many people's prejudices against medical staff. They regard doctors who are obviously saving lives and healing the wounded as their enemies. Medical troubles have been repeatedly banned. Some doctors are injured, and those who kill doctors are even more shocking!
If people in modern society were as sincere and grateful as the people here, how much less hostility and violence would be reduced in society?
Zhuqing couldn't help but get distracted thinking about it, but the coachman's voice finally brought her back to reality: "Miss Sun, you don't know how hateful the Wu family is! If nothing else, among the many businesses in our county, there are not many
My family has never been harassed by them! As long as they ask for protection fees, capitation fees, and tribute money, no one dares to refuse to pay them! If they don't pay them,
They send people to the store every day to cause trouble! You have to pay for it! Some people refuse to pay and report it to the government. Then the Wu family just resorts to dirty tricks, and they have to destroy their families!
This scarred tiger is the most vicious of the Wu brothers! He has done so many evil things! Miss Sun, you can make him surrender, I really don’t know how to thank you!"
Zhuqing had no idea that catching a scarred tiger by himself would be of such great benefit to everyone.
Of course, this is also because Scar Tiger and the others have done many evil things, and they bring themselves to blame.
However, in front of this coachman, Zhuqing felt that he still had to be humble: "Uncle, in fact, I am able to catch the scarred tiger. Most of them are lucky. The most important thing is that our county magistrate, Mr. Guan, is so clear.
, act vigorously and resolutely, and eliminate harm for the people!"
Hearing what Zhuqing said, the coachman gave her a thumbs up: "Well, you're a good girl! You actually know how not to take credit for yourself. If Mr. Guan hears this, I don't know how happy he will be! Indeed, before we
There have been many magistrates in the county. When they first came here, they all said that they would put the Wu family in jail, but they always made noises like thunder but little rain. Only this magistrate really uprooted the Wu family!"
When Zhu Qing heard what he said, he was secretly grateful. Fortunately, when he traveled through time and met Mr. Guan, he took office. If it had been any previous county boss, he would probably not be able to eat and walk around!
I'm afraid they have gone back and forth from wherever they came from!
