Chapter 289 Where did you get the wallet?
Mrs. Bai quickly put the silver away and said, "Isn't this Zhou Wensheng's money? He has 100 taels of silver on him, yet he insists on selling his body. Interesting."
Zhao Qiaoniang sneered and said, "I'm afraid he really is a liar, but I don't know who his target is."
"Humph! He should be taught a lesson."
Huang Mao coughed, and the monkeys ran away. Zhou Wensheng burst into tears: "I can't do this job either. Whoever wants to do it can do it."
Huangmao looked at him, sighed and said, "Then tell me what you can do?"
"I know a lot. I can read and write. Why don't I teach these children to read and write? I am quite good at this." He looked at the children who were sitting there and writing seriously.
These people probably came from the countryside, but they actually knew how to teach children to read and write.
Huang Mao looked at him and said, "Are you sure you want to teach them to read and write?"
"Yes! My handwriting is the best in our town. What's more, I am a scholar, so the Four Books and Five Classics are no problem for me." Zhou Wensheng was very proud.
Huangmao took him directly to the children, who were reading and writing. Zhou Wensheng came forward to take a look and was dumbfounded.
Lin Song has very good aptitude. The key is that he likes writing very much and practices calligraphy for half an hour every day.
I saw him holding the brush steadily, dipping the tip of the brush into ink, and writing with his wrist suspended.
Every horizontal and vertical stroke, every left and right stroke shows calmness and concentration.
As time went by, the rice paper was gradually covered with neat handwriting, the font was strong and powerful yet lively.
Zhou Wensheng was stunned. Although the child looked young, his handwriting was much more beautiful than his.
And the content he copied was the Four Books and Five Classics. He couldn't help but ask:
"To be virtuous and virtuous, to be close to all nine clans...
Do you know what the next two sentences are?"
Lin Song said calmly, "When the nine clans are at peace, the people will be governed by justice. When the people are enlightened, all nations will be in harmony."
"The human heart is dangerous, and the heart of Tao is subtle..." Zhou Wensheng continued to ask.
"Be precise and single-minded, and hold fast to the middle."
Zhou Wensheng looked solemn and continued, "Poetry expresses one's aspirations, and songs express one's eternal thoughts..."
"The sound is consistent and the rhythm is harmonious." Lin Song coughed and said, "Who are you?"
Zhou Wensheng looked at him and said, "How old are you? How could you memorize all of this?"
"Is this difficult? I only read it a few times and I can do it."
Zhou Wensheng was directly shocked. He walked to the back and said, "You definitely can't recite it, right?"
Lin Bo looked at him and blinked, "I can recite it! How can you not recite something so simple?"
Zhou Wensheng wiped the sweat from his head and looked at Chouchou beside him. Chouchou recited calmly, "If we look back to the past, Emperor Yao was named Fangxun, and Emperor Yao was named Qin, Ming, Wen, Si, and An'an..."
Halfway through reciting the poem, Zhou Wensheng fainted. Chou Chou sneered and said, "Big liar, are you feeling the pinch now? You actually dared to trick us. You're going to get into trouble."
Master Bai stroked his beard and said, "This guy must have been deeply hurt and is starting to doubt his life. Don't push him too hard. Just play slowly..."
When Zhou Wensheng woke up at night, he saw the coarse cotton jacket next to him. His clothes were so tattered that he couldn't even show himself to others if he wore them like that.
He changed into a coarse cotton jacket directly, but when he reached out, he found that his purse was missing.
He shouted loudly: "Who took my purse? My purse is gone..."
Everyone around him looked at him strangely and asked, "What purse? Where did the purse come from?"
"We didn't see it. You looked like this when we carried you in."
"Where did you get the purse? Is this guy crazy? He's so poor, and he still says he has a purse?"
Zhou Wensheng was so anxious that tears came to his eyes. He rushed out to find Huang Mao. Huang Mao glanced at him calmly and said:
"Purse? We won't take purses, especially with so many people watching you! Why would you sell yourself if you have a purse on you?
How could you be so hungry? I'm curious how much money you have in your pocket."
Zhou Wensheng stammered, "It's not a lot of money, I'm just asking."
"Well, work hard. I will find you a suitable job tomorrow. It will not work if you don't know how to work. My family doesn't support idle people." The yellow-haired man looked at him and said.
Zhou Wensheng had never expected that a scholar like him would be despised like this, but he did have a lot of capital, as even his children had learned the Four Books and Five Classics.
There are some things he hasn't memorized yet!
Lin Dachang also slowly returned to the camp. Now there were fewer people in Linjia Village and Wangjia Village, at least half of them, and the two villages were officially merged.
He stumbled back home drunk. Old Mrs. Lin looked at him and asked, "Dachang! How did you get so drunk?"
Lin Dachang looked at her and said, "Mom, pour me a glass of water."
Lin Dachang drank a bowl of water and saw Lin Dasheng walking towards him dejectedly.
Old Lady Lin looked at him with disdain and said, "What? No food for you again? You really married such a bastard."
Lin Dasheng kept silent. Lin Dachang sneered, "Tell me, aren't you just a coward? Do you know who I saw today? I saw Zhao Qiaoniang."
"That's really unlucky, son! You'd better stay away from her to avoid being infected by her bad luck." Old Mrs. Lin said disdainfully.
Sun Mei looked at him curiously and asked:
"How is that damn woman doing now? I'm afraid she's having a very hard time, right?
With such a disaster following them, they will not have a good life."
Wang Qiuju sneered:
"That's right! That woman loves to be a good person. I can't even imagine what she wants to do by supporting so many people.
Do you think those people are human meat buns, and you kill them when you are hungry?"
Sun Mei nodded and said, "They're afraid that's how they got here. Zhao Qiaoniang is definitely capable of doing it."
"Tsk... Come on! I'm very rich now!
"This time I entered the Colosseum and unexpectedly saw them there. Do you know how much they bet?" Lin Dachang said calmly.
Lin Dasheng swallowed his saliva. Old Man Lin and Old Lady Lin all gathered around him. Sun Mei also looked at him nervously. Wang Qiuju and Lin Dafu also sat over.
Lin Dachang said softly: "They directly bet fifty thousand taels..."
Old Lady Lin's hands began to tremble. "How much? Fifty... fifty thousand taels?"
Wang Qiuju was calm just now, but when she heard the number 50,000 taels, she and Sun Mei jumped up.
Sun Mei couldn't help but shake her head and said, "Impossible! Where did they get so much silver? Even if they stole or robbed, they couldn't get so much."
Naturally, they did all kinds of bad things along the way, and the entire village relied on robbery to survive, but even so, they could only afford to eat their fill.
