Before Peng Tiancheng came here, he had just finished helping his parents in the fields.
The cabbage and radish grown by his family can be harvested.
He just happened to take advantage of the fact that he had not officially entered the government school recently, so he helped the family with some farm work.
After finishing his work, he hurriedly brushed the dirt off his body with grass before coming over for the appointment.
While working, his parents heard that he was coming to attend a class gathering.
He happily asked him to bring some cabbages and radishes he had just picked at home to give to his classmates.
He said that he had nothing good to give away, but these freshly picked fruits were fresh, and even their classmates, who were city dwellers, would probably like to eat them.
But Peng Tiancheng knew that Wang Yuanfeng's group of young men didn't lack these at all.
Even if they are in the city, what they want is just a matter of words.
Moreover, the huge village next to it belongs to Wang Yuanfeng's family, and his family doesn't want any fresh fruits.
The quality of the things grown on the few acres of our property are not as good as those grown by Wang Yuanfeng's tenant farmers.
So I rejected my parents' proposal.
But Father Peng and Mother Peng felt that their son was a scholar, so they were probably embarrassed to bring these in person.
So he took it upon himself to carry two loads to the place where his son said he was near Zhuangzi, put them down, and then left.
The couple came here happily carrying a load of melons and fruits.
After finally walking nearby, I found some noble people standing on the roadside, wondering what they were doing.
They were not embarrassed to disturb others, so they wanted to pass quickly.
As a result, the load was too full, and by chance a radish piled high on the top rolled down and landed at the feet of the elegantly dressed young lady, touching her embroidered shoes.
It seemed to them that the radish had washed the mud very clean by the stream.
But some water stains and mud that couldn't be washed away still made the young lady scream.
The young master next to him also scolded.
When Peng Tiancheng arrived, he saw his parents standing aside submissively.
The young lady's face was full of displeasure, while her brother looked at the couple with shabby clothes and muddy straw sandals with disgust.
"You clearly saw my young master and young lady standing on the roadside admiring the scenery, but you still dare to go directly there."
"My lady's favorite pair of shoes was stained by you. How can you afford to pay for it?"
If the master is like this, the servants will naturally be even more domineering.
He kicked two of the baskets over and pointed at the Peng couple and scolded them.
Peng's father and Peng's mother knew they were in trouble and kept apologizing and begging for mercy.
But the young lady was probably very unhappy, so she never let go.
"Brother, I don't care, you think of a way."
"These shoes are the most fashionable styles that my aunt asked me to bring from the capital. How can I go see anyone if they are dirty?"
"I'm going to attend a party later."
"What will it look like if these shoes are wet and the clothes are disheveled?"
It's all her brother's fault for wanting to see some field scenery for no reason.
The same goes for the two villagers. Seeing them on the roadside, they actually dared to pass without saying a word.
It made her shoes dirty.
When Young Master Wang and Uncle Wang see the wet marks on her shoes, what else can she say about her image?
When the young master heard what his sister said, he became even more angry.
"It's all your fault!"
"Why don't you crawl over here and clean my sister's shoes?"
The Peng family's parents were also extremely anxious.
These shoes are stained. I just need to wipe them.
But the young lady thought they were dirty and wouldn't let them wipe them.
What should I do?
"My lord, I'm really sorry. Our hands have just been washed by the stream. They are really not dirty."
"Just let us clean you up!"
the two begged.
The young lady glanced at them, looking at their old clothes that were washed white, covered with patches, and stained with a lot of dew and mud.
The hands were extremely rough, and the nails were still covered in dirt. He immediately moved his eyes away even more unhappy.
"I don't want them to wipe it, they are so dirty themselves!"
"Forget it, I am generous, just let them compensate me for a new pair of shoes."
"Compensation?" The couple hesitated: "How much money do you need to pay?"
"Fifty taels for a pair of shoes, that's a bargain for you."
The young master said: "My sister may not be able to buy the same pair even if she spends fifty taels from the capital."
"Even if you can buy it, you won't be able to wear it until next summer at least."
A pair of shoes costs fifty taels!
This kind of thing used by noble people, his family can't even afford to pay for it even if they lose everything!
"Our family can't afford to pay..."
"Brother Fang, why don't you two go directly to Zhuangzi when you arrive? What are you doing here?"
Wang Yuanfeng spoke up, interrupting the conversation between several people.
Peng Tiancheng panted and walked to his parents, while Father Peng and Mother Peng looked at him in embarrassment, with shame on their faces.
They originally wanted to do something to help their son, but it ended up being self-defeating.
Seeing that his son had just been admitted as a scholar, the family had some success.
Now I don’t know what to do with this noble man’s shoes.
Compensate, their family definitely can't afford so much money.
I don't want to pay compensation, but I'm afraid it will affect my son's studies.
I can only try my best to beg and see if these noble people can show their respect.
Mr. Fang and Miss Fang over there heard Wang Yuanfeng's shouting, and their attention was temporarily diverted.
Miss Fang looked at Wang Yuanfeng walking over, pouted, and said somewhat unhappily: "Brother Wang, these farmers in your family are really vulgar."
"My shoes are stained by them, what can I do?"
"Uncle Wang will laugh at me when he sees it later."
Both the Wang family and the Fang family belong to wealthy families in Fucheng.
Mr. Wang intends to bring Wang Yuanfeng and Miss Fang together. It happens that Miss Fang is also very talented, so he invited her over today.
I thought that my son would be able to see each other in the eyes, and the two families would be like Qin and Jin.
But Miss Fang actually looked down upon Wang Yuanfeng.
After all, he is just a playboy, incompetent in literature and martial arts, and his appearance is just average and good-looking.
It's just that for people of similar status to herself, she naturally acts like a coquettish young lady.
Wang Yuanfeng had just watched the behavior of these two brothers and sisters from a distance, feeling extremely contemptuous in his heart.
To him, only those who have no ability would show their power in front of such ordinary people.
Not like him.
If you want to dominate others, you should choose someone who is similar to you.
A leader like Su Yu, who was the leader of the college examination, almost failed his homework due to him.
This is the right way for a dandy to behave!
He showed a small smile and said, "It's okay. If it's dirty, let the servants wipe it for you, and then put up a brazier to bake it."
"The water in our village is spring water brought down from high mountains. It's just right for cleaning your expensive shoes."
"That's it..."
Miss Fang was somewhat moved.
"Okay, then just listen to Brother Wang."
"But these two country villagers, Brother Wang, you have to give them a beating to prevent them from bumping into other nobles in the future."
After holding up her hair, Miss Fang didn't even look at the Peng family over there.
"Not everyone I meet will be as generous as this young lady."
