Chapter 204 The underestimated Guiwu

Mei Sheng got up and went to open the door, a little surprised.

The county school dormitory was originally a room with two people. Mei Sheng was a student who had been a long-term student. At the end of last year, he went to Beijing to work as a prison teacher, but it was empty.

Among classmates, Mei Sheng is young and diligent in studying, and does not have much contact with classmates.

When Mei Sheng walked to the door and opened the door, he was surprised to see the person outside the door: "Brother Liang?"

Liang Ningsheng, the visitor, was a classmate who had passed the Boy Examination in the same year as Mei Sheng. He was a local person. He had a house in the town and usually did not live in the county school.

Liang Ningsheng looked at the book in Mei Sheng's hand and said, "Mr. I heard that Brother Mei is here and I'm here to ask for advice. Is it disturbing you to read the book?"

"Brother Liang, you're welcome." Mei Sheng pulled the goalkeeper Liang Ningsheng into the side,

The small dormitory has two beds and two desks. There are not many things, but it is better to be clean and tidy.

Liang Ningsheng looked at it inadvertently, his eyes paused on Mei Sheng's sleeve.

Mei Sheng was wearing a Confucian scholar's suit, which was not shabby, but he couldn't stand the careful look. Not only did the clothes fade and the colors were not correct, but the cuffs were also frayed.

Liang Ningsheng didn't find it strange when he saw this.

As the saying goes, "Jin Juren" and "poor scholars", there are many poor students in the county schools.

If you fail to get a juren, a scholar will not be of use. If you have no hope of fame and fortune, you can only earn money by teaching in a school.

But what happened to the Mei family? It is a scholarly family, and its grandfather is a Tongsheng and its uncle is also a scholar. We should know that fame and fame are important. No matter what the family used to be, aren’t we now going to be a good student to win over Mei Sheng? Why do we still look like we ignore it?

There is also Mr. Yuan’s place, but his in-laws are not good, but his grandson always kisses him and doesn’t even care about him.

Since Liang Ningsheng came under the banner of a problem, he suppressed his doubts, took the lessons, and pointed out one or two vague points. Mei Sheng patiently said it.

Liang Ningsheng really gained something. He looked at Mei Sheng with admiration and said, "I can't blame the Master for Brother Mei. If I hadn't listened to you, I would never have thought that I could solve the problem like this."

If it were someone else, it would be a bit humble, but Mei Sheng just pulled the corners of his mouth, looking a little cold.

Liang Ningsheng had never dealt with Mei Sheng, but he often met. He knew that he had always been like this, but he was not picky. After looking at the books spread out on the desk, he hesitated and said, "I want to trouble Brother Mei. I have a brother who is practicing calligraphy and is looking for a suitable copybook. I heard that Mr. Mei had already seen the way of seeing Brother Mei's Liu style. If Brother Mei is convenient, please help me copy the copybook."

"No trouble! Three Hundred Texts." Mei Sheng glanced at Liang Ningsheng, and couldn't help but wonder.

Liang Ningsheng is a child of an official and a gentry family. What kind of copybook can’t be found? He wants a copybook of a young student? I don’t know why this trouble came about.

Liang Ningsheng couldn't hold back when he heard Mei Sheng's words.

Mei Sheng was really unexpected. There were a few scholars who were willing to keep their stinky words on their lips. As for the scholars that Liang Ningsheng had come into contact with, they all held nobleness on their faces.

Mei Sheng is a bit aloof because of his cold temperament, but now he is down-to-earth.

Thinking of this, Liang Ningsheng felt that Mei Sheng was good again, so he took out his wallet, took out a bunch of money as a deposit, and then gave up with a smile.

Mei Sheng sent Liang Ningsheng to the door, but couldn't figure out what he wanted, so he didn't want to and continued to copy books.

Liang Ningsheng went directly out of the county school and went back to the town home.

"How about the Mei Xiaoshaocai?" Mrs. Liang was already eager to wait. When she saw her son coming back, she hurriedly asked.

Liang Ningsheng said: "I thought I was a nerd who was not familiar with the world. Now it seems that it is even more rare. I am afraid that life will be harder." As he said that he asked Mei Sheng to write a copybook and Mei Sheng directly raised the money.

When Mrs. Liang heard this, she couldn't help but be amazed: "Didn't you say that the gentry family? There is also the Jinyin, why are you still worried about your livelihood?"

Liang Ningsheng said: "I heard that he had copied books and earned money for the town's bookstore. I think it was true. However, he studied food and clothing in the county, and rarely went out to eat and drink and socialize. He should be the money for preparing for the provincial examination next year."

"I have a poor life, but I have a miserable life!" Mrs. Liang knew that Mei Sheng's parents had both died and lived with her grandfather and uncle's family, so she sighed.

Liang Ningsheng felt that Mei Sheng had a good future, and the Mei family was unreliable, and the Yuan family would not come forward. If he became a sister-in-law, the Liang family would be in charge.

Even if Mei Sheng had no hope of being a Jinshi in the end, as long as he passed the Juren, the Liang family would not suffer any losses.

If the Marquis’ Mansion interferes with the girl’s marriage, who knows who it is? Now the Marquis has arranged for the Jinzhuang to buy the girl’s marriage, so it will be no less. It’s nothing to offer a scholar.

Mrs. Liang was satisfied with the simple population of Mei Sheng’s family, and was worried that he had lost his parents’ upbringing and was biased in temperament. He said, “Everything is nothing, so I’d better ask more, character is the most important.”

"After classmates have been a little concerned about money, I have never heard of any shortcomings." Liang Ningsheng said.

Mrs. Liang thought for a while and said, "Then you can find out what kind of character his elders are, and you can estimate it almost the same. And the tribe's customs are also inquired about the customs. You must be sure to do it."

After hearing this, Liang Ningsheng remembered something and said, "It's so shady. It seems that he heard someone mention that Mei Sheng's relative was sued, and the trial will be held on the tenth day of the lunar month."

Madam Liang immediately frowned and said, "Then you need to inquire carefully. If you really commit a crime, you have to think about this marriage again."

Liang Ningsheng nodded and said, "That's natural, it's just a matter of seeing whether Mei Sheng's temperament is really deserted or fake deserted."

If Mei Sheng is sincere to the clan, he will have to help the people of the clan in the future; if Mei Sheng ignores the clan, he will be too heartless.

An orphan, uncle and aunt are negligent, and can read it smoothly, and there are some things that the clan members take care of.

Both mother and son regarded Mei Sheng as their prospective son-in-law and sister-in-law, and did not expect that Mei Sheng was unwilling to do so.

As for Mei Sheng’s current engagement, Jin Zhuangtou said it clearly. The wrong generation and disagreement are the suspicion that uncle Mei Sheng and aunt will solve the problem earlier.

However, there is one thing that the Liang family’s mother and son meant that they wanted to go to the same place with Du Liujie. That is, it is not easy to delay for too long. It is best to make a engagement between two families before the provincial Meisheng passed the provincial examination.

Juren is different from scholars, and young Juren is even more precious.

With the Marquis' Mansion as a backer, in Sanhe and one county, the Liang family is not afraid of others robbing their son-in-law; but if the provincial examination is in the capital, if there are really powerful people who like Mei Sheng and want to recruit a son-in-law, then the Liang family will not be enough.

At dusk, Gui Wu's house.

When Gui Wu came back from Yuan’s school, Jiang had already asked someone to prepare a mutton pot and asked his maid to put it on.

As soon as the couple sat down, Gui Qiu came in a hurry.

Seeing that Gui Qiu's face was wrong, Gui Wu said directly: "But something happened to the food shop?"

Gui Qiu showed fear on her face and said, "Fortunately Uncle Wu and Chongyang said before that the shop had already arranged personnel, otherwise something big would happen!"

It turned out that someone bribed an apprentice in the kitchen and brought a pack of croton flour into the kitchen. If this was successful and the guests were eaten badly, Baiweixiang's reputation would be damaged.

You should know that Baiweixiang’s reputation is that it is good quality and low price. If the ingredients are rotten, the signature will be broken.

This time it's just croton flour. If you encounter a bad heart, bring a handful of arsenic into the kitchen, it will be even more deadly.

"The disease comes from the mouth" and "the disaster comes from the mouth". Gui Wu has been managing the teahouse for many years. He has never seen and heard of various means in the business world, so he naturally told Gui Qiu a long time ago. When he poured Gui Chongyang, perhaps in Nanjing, he was infected with a set of business practices, and he directly regarded the kitchen as a key place and suggested that Gui Qiu be strictly in charge.

Even Baiweixiang’s manager, I don’t know that there are two “quality inspectors” in each kitchen of Baiweixiang. This word was thought of by Gui Chongyang, and I don’t know where he heard it, but it’s straightforward.

In addition to working in public, these two people are also responsible for the clean food in the kitchen in private.

A tael of silver a month and a half is more than the wages on the surface. They are all people who are careful and quick-witted. If they find a problem, they will be deducted if they are relatively negligent.

Linked to wages, these "quality inspectors" are naturally thoughtful. After opening a month, they really found several inappropriate points, whether big or small, and they all gave rewards according to the contribution.

There are two people in one shop, three shops and six people in three shops. The general manager is either someone else, or the "elder" Wang Saner of Baiweixiang.

Wang Saner was originally a young man from the Jiang Family Teahouse. She started working hard since Baiweixiang had not opened. She became a "manager" inside and out, but she was extremely responsible.

Premier Wang Saner, the people below were getting more and more excited. Each shop stared at him with two pairs of eyes, and then he discovered the apprentice's sneakyness and grabbed him.

"Can you ask the entourage? Which one is in the town?" Gui Wu's face looked ugly.

When Gui Wu opened its home, Monk Tie and Xiaoli Zhong both came forward to support Gui Wu and warned his colleagues not to bully others. The fragrance of flowers is covered by someone.

Unexpectedly, after just one month, someone bumped into it. It was this kind of despicable method again, and Gui Wu was also angry.

Gui Qiu shook her head and said, "I'm really stubborn. I refuse to say it. It's really a shame."

Baiweixiang needs a lot of people to use, but the people to use are a little mixed. In addition to those who carry baskets on the dock, there are also some snack stall owners whose livelihoods are affected by Baiweixiang's opening.

It cannot be said that Baiweixiang has kindness to all the friends, and it is better than treating the friends in ordinary shops.

As for those who can enter the kitchen as apprentices, confidants, or pass previous investigations, this is the preferred one, which is trained by Bai Weixiang as a future chef. Is such a person betrayed "Bai Weixiang" for money?

"But I asked someone to inquire, but I got involved in gambling? Or is there someone at home who is seriously ill and waiting to be treated?" Gui Wu said at the two possibilities.

Gui Qiu nodded and said, "I also thought of these two places, but he worked in the shop every day, so where can he have time to gamble? His family is safe, just from Linshui Village next to the town. He has no land and has rented dozens of acres of land to plant. His parents are honest and diligent people. I really can't figure out why he did this?"

No matter what the reason is, betrayal is betrayal.
