Poof.
Another laugh came.
The man at the next table couldn't bear it any longer, stood up with a swish, and said angrily: "Why are you laughing?"
"Your wife also has a baby, right?"
"Yes, yes." Chen Chuge nodded hastily.
"You and his wife?"
"Yes, yes...no, we gave birth to children on the same day."
"Isn't what we said funny?"
"No, no, we are scholars, how can we laugh at others casually? We are ashamed of such behavior."
The man frowned when he heard this, and then he could only give up.
"Brother Lingyun, I see that the pattern on your robe is very exquisite. I'm afraid it is almost the same as the robes in Qiandu."
"Hey, our Zhubei County is known as the first county in the north. It's not surprising that we have some fine cloth."
"It's just that compared to Qiandu's clothes, it's still a little lacking."
"Gandu deserves to be called the capital of Gandu, and it is so prosperous."
"Fortunately, we were born in the north, so we are not that far away from Qiandu. If we were born in the south, we would not even be able to find decent clothes when we go to Beijing to take the exam."
"That's right, that's right. I know quite a few students from the south who wear coarse clothes when they go to Beijing to take exams. They don't feel ashamed. If it were me, I would really have no face to deal with them."
Zhen Renyi looked at himself and saw the clothes made by Shen Ji Cloth Shop.
The patterns are completely natural, and the brush strokes are like dragons and snakes, as if they were the work of everyone.
The materials are as light and thin as nothing, making people feel extremely comfortable.
It is said that it is a new material recently developed in his mentor's workshop, and he queued up for quite a while to buy it.
Look at the clothes on the table opposite the person named Lingyun.
That pattern, that material, for a moment, a sense of joy came to my heart, and I couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Poof.
Following this laughter, the small area in the restaurant instantly fell into silence.
The man from before stood up again, with veins faintly exposed on his forehead.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Brother, why are you laughing?"
"I..."
"But don't tell me that your wife is also giving birth today."
"My mother... my mother gave birth to a baby today."
The man was stunned when he heard the words, and then said: "Dare you ask me how long your life will last?"
"Forty-one."
…
After another long period of silence, the man gritted his teeth and said word by word: "Your Majesty is really alive and well, and the sword is not old yet!"
"It's ridiculous, my father has always been in good health."
This matter was revealed, and both parties ceased their activities again.
"If you ask me, compared to these external things, Brother Lingyun's literary talent is worthy of praise."
"Yes, although there are many candidates who are proficient in poetry in Zhubei County, Brother Lingyun is the only one who is good at frontier poetry."
"The questions in this exam happened to hit Brother Lingyun's strengths!"
"That's right, that's right. I vaguely remember that before, didn't a talented scholar called Shi Laozi call himself Shijun in the south?"
"In my opinion, with our brother Lingyun's talent, we can also become a poet."
"Hey, those short-sighted candidates from the south can call themselves poets. If brother Lingyun also becomes a poet, wouldn't he fall behind?"
"In my opinion, if you want to be bestowed upon, you should be bestowed upon a poet."
However, as soon as he said this, Zhao Lingyun heard loud laughter burst out from the table next to him. It could be said that the whole room burst into laughter!
"hahahahahahahaha!"
"Renyi, Renyi, please help me quickly so that I can stop laughing."
If I could have explained it just now, now it is just outright ridicule.
How could Zhao Lingyun tolerate it? The man from before immediately stood up and angrily shouted: "Shuzi! How dare you talk here!"
Zhao Lingyun also walked out with a livid face and said in as calm a tone as possible: "Has Zhao ever offended you?"
"No, no, you are strangers to us."
"Then wait, why do you keep laughing?"
"Are you really trying to bully me into not being angry?"
Zhou An also wanted to say some polite words to block the person back.
After all, they were away from home and they were new here, so it was better to avoid any trouble.
Unexpectedly, Zhen Renyi suddenly stood up and said, "It's not that we are laughing for no reason, it's just that what you said is too ridiculous."
"Everyone in the South is short-sighted, but they don't know that the frog at the bottom of the well is far away in the horizon and right before their eyes."
Zhao Lingyun frowned even more when she heard this.
However, before he could speak, his companion couldn't help it anymore and scolded him: "Who did I think he was? It turns out he is a country bumpkin from the south."
"I'm afraid you've never eaten the food at Yingchun Tower, right? I'm afraid you've never seen the clothes in Qiandu, right?"
"Brother Zhentai, why are you telling them these things? What insights can people in the south have? They sit in a well and look at the sky."
"Hahaha, you really made me laugh!" Shen Liangfu also stood up and said: "The salt-baked duck in your mouth is very delicious. In our opinion, it is simply unpalatable! Compared with the Huainan roast duck in my hometown , It’s as different as clouds and mud!”
"Your stunning silk clothes pale in comparison to the silk from my hometown."
"It's never the southerners who are short-sighted, but you guys who are like clowns but don't know it!"
"Okay! Well said!" There were many southerners eating in the restaurant. When they heard Shen Liangfu's remarks, they couldn't help but applaud.
After all, it is a fact that over the years, the North has been strong and the South has been weak.
Candidates from the south came to Beijing to take the exam and were repeatedly discriminated against and treated unfairly.
So when I see someone speaking out now, I naturally want to support them.
Seeing that there were so many people at the scene, Zhao Lingyun and others lost their temper for a while and found it difficult to continue arguing.
He could only change the topic and said: "Looking at the clothes you are waiting for, you must be a candidate coming to Beijing to take the exam."
"But I don't know, what is the score in this examination? How well did you perform?"
"Don't worry, there should be top ten."
puff!
"You really make me laugh. How dare you, a southerner, to say that you are in the top ten?"
"Did you know that in the past three years, the top ten in the general examination have been dominated by people from the north?"
"Among them, we are in Zhubei County, and we have five or six people."
"Are you really not afraid of making people laugh when you make such remarks?"
After hearing this, even if the southerners around them tried to speak out, it would be of no use.
After all, what they say is true. The north is strong and the south is weak, especially in education.
In the past three years, very few candidates from the south have achieved results.
"Huh, let's wait until the gold list is posted and then we can discuss the difference." Chen Chuge said, neither humble nor arrogant.
"After the gold list was posted? You really laughed at me. Do you really think you can get on the gold list?"
"After the golden list was posted, Jin Wuwei personally came to invite people to enter the Jinluan Palace to show his respect to the current sage."
"How dare you country bumpkins dream of such an honor!"
boom!
Chen Chuge threw a porcelain bowl down hard and said angrily: "Shu Zian dares to insult me, you are really going to make me angry!"
"Today, I will force you to walk around without food!"
However, before he could take action, he heard a shout coming from outside the door.
"The Kingo Guards are here!"
