I am born with insufficiency

Chapter 42
Gu Buquan glanced at him, and saw that the scholar was dressed in coarse cloth, wearing a green cloth headband, and carrying a book basket. At first glance, he looked like a poor scholar who came to Beijing to take the exam, but he looked clean and energetic.

However, what Hua Rattle hates the most is the word poor.

"Hey, Ganqing is a poor scholar. There is still a year before the spring exam. If you rush to the exam now, you are so poor that you are afraid you won't be able to make it to the capital?"

"One year is not too long, so what's wrong with Xiaosheng traveling and gaining knowledge along the way? Besides, Xiaosheng just has a different opinion about what the girl said just now."

The scholar put down his book, as if he wanted to have a good discussion with Hua ringing the bell.

"In the vast world, men and women live together and help each other to reproduce and prosper endlessly. All living beings are equal, and men and women are also equal. The so-called 360 lines, there is no saying that women can't do it. Therefore, it is not that there are no men in this city, but that those who are capable are the best. Well."

After hearing the words, Gu Buquan couldn't help but quietly looked the scholar up and down. The scholar's elegant demeanor and extraordinary conversation, especially the remarks that all beings are equal to men and women, were poking at her heart.

If men and women were equal, and all living beings were equal, there would be no such tragedy as Qiaoer, an old lady who was sold by her father and brother to her sixtieth year, who was unable to make decisions about her own marriage.

How many women like Qiaoer are there in the world?

It's a pity that I have a heart to complain for the women in the world, but I can't do anything about it.

Unexpectedly, I heard the word equality from a poor scholar today!
"What this brother said is very true. But the Buddha said that all living beings are equal, but he did not say that men and women are equal. Having children is equal, but working and housekeeping is not equal. 360 lines are also divided into upward and downward. The so-called ability is purely empty talk, otherwise... ..."

Gu Buquan glanced at the scholar's book basket, and said with a smile, "Otherwise, why do you only see men taking the Beijing spring exam but no women rushing for the exam? It's not because women are not allowed to be officials no matter how capable they are."

The scholar cupped his hands and said: "If Xiaosheng is lucky enough to get into high school in the next spring exam, he will definitely go to the imperial court to take an additional exam on women's subjects, and he will be entrusted with the important task of selecting women's middle school students."

Gu Buquan smiled again: "Why is there an additional test for women's subjects? Why can't you take the same test with men? Why not go to those who are equally qualified in the same subject and test? The young master can cheer for the women of the world, and the little girl is already I am so grateful. But the world is still unfair after all, not just men and women, but also the poor and the rich, the cheap and the expensive. The young master is in high school, can it be equal?"

The scholar scratched his head, unable to answer.

"What the girl said is very reasonable. Xiaosheng has been taught. Xiaosheng's surname is Chen, and his style name is Chuzhi. How dare you ask the girl's name?"

"Her name is Gu Buquan, and I'm Hua Yingling."

"Not enough?" Chen Chuzhi looked surprised, and then said, "...Good, good name."

Hua Yaoling gave him a blank look, "Hey, don't be sour. Incompleteness means that everything is not complete, and you have to fight for everything, and you may not be able to rob others. You will be short of something in your life, are you sure? Is it a good name?"

Chen Chuzhi laughed awkwardly, "The girl's name doesn't matter, the flowers ring the bell, it's loud."

"Hey, what an idiot."

The three of them were talking lively, how could they care that the idiot had already left them and ran away after the funeral lady, and Sun Xiaokong followed without looking back, leaving Gui Xiaobao to Gu Buquan.

"What does the idiot want to do?" Hua Yaoling shouted anxiously.

"Don't worry, I'll be back."

Gu Buquan firmly sat down in the teahouse and drank tea.

Ling An came back before the pot of tea had bottomed out.

Gu Buquan raised his head slightly and asked, "Is the coffin inappropriate?"

"En." Ling An nodded, picked up the teapot and shook it, then poured half a cup of tea and drank it down in one gulp.

Gu Buquan noticed that he seemed to be very thirsty, and there was not much tea left in the pot, but he did not drink directly from the pot like other people in the teahouse, but poured it carefully.

Thinking that he was originally an elegant person, the silver medal appeared in front of his eyes again, and he couldn't help but clutch the burden in his hand, thinking that Hua Rattle had said that he was a nobleman.

Well, asking him to plan coffin boards has wronged him.

"What's wrong with the coffin?" Hua Yaoling and Chen Chuzhi asked anxiously, and the tea drinkers in the teahouse also came over to ask.

Gu Buquan regained his senses, and said slowly: "Break a coffin, even if it is a dog meeting, it still has a little weight. Adding the weight of the deceased, the total weight can be imagined. But, everyone has seen it. A woman with a slender figure, her face is unchanging, her breath is well-proportioned, and she has no sense of weight. Therefore, I think there must be something strange about that coffin."

Everyone in the teahouse came forward and asked, "What is a dog meeting?"

"It's just a coffin made of leftover materials and the thinnest board. Once buried in the ground, it will be dug out by wild dogs in less than half an hour. The board is thin, and the wild dogs will fall apart when touched, and then they will eat meat and bones. ..."

Considering how Hua rattles the bell, Gu Buquan shuts his mouth.

"Tut tsk tsk, how does the girl know this?"

Flower rattles never be late for revenge, answering loudly, "Hey, she's a coffin seller."

"what?!"

The crowd dispersed in a rush, and they didn't want the unfinished tea, and cursed, "Unlucky, it's nothing more than meeting a funeral attendant when I go out today, and drinking tea in a teahouse with a coffin girl, what's the matter!"

Only Chen Chuzhi was still sitting upright, looking at Gu Buquan with great interest, this girl was generous and observant, and the previously mentioned view of equality between men and women coincided with his, so she could be her confidant.

Hua Yaoling looked at Chen Chuzhi: "Then scholar, why don't you leave? You won't be afraid of meeting the coffin girl's fate, and you won't pass the exam next spring."

Chen Chuzhi waved his hands again and again: "No, no, girls don't know that coffins, promotions and fortunes are exactly the blessings of Xiaosheng. Xiaosheng has decided that this time he will go to Beijing with some girls, and he will definitely be able to enter high school when he enters Beijing next year. "

Hua Yaoling looked at Chen Chuzhi's poor look, and sniffed: "With your two legs, I don't know if you can walk to the capital. Come with us, just say it if you want to eat and drink cheaply."

"Xiaosheng has something to ask Miss Buquan." Chen Chuzhi smiled and ignored Hua Yaoling's sarcasm, and bowed to Gu Buquan, "Young lady hasn't said anything yet, what's wrong with that coffin?"

"Then I have to ask the idiot." Gu Buquan smiled.

Ling An replied: "Paper mushy. Burned. No stele."

The paper coffin was sent out of the city with great fanfare, and then it was set on fire. From the beginning to the end, the family members of the deceased were not seen crying along with the funeral, and there was no tombstone erected.

Gu Buquan was also a little puzzled for a while, which song is this singing?
"Be careful when entering the city." Ling An looked at her, and at the same time glanced at Chen Chuzhi, a scholar who appeared suddenly and insisted on following them into Beijing.

This retrospect nodded to him and answered with one word: "Yeah."

Sitting and talking for a while, he was about to get up to pack up and go into the city, but saw that the women of Diemengzhuang were returning to the city Shi Shiran, the coffins and white flags were all burned, the suona stopped blowing, and all of them had the same expression on their faces. He was expressionless, walking quietly, like a walking dead.

"Diemeng Zhuang." Chen Chuzhi watched the girls go away, and began to shake his head and mutter again, "What a Zhuang Zhou Mengdie, Diemeng Zhuangzhou, it's just such a good intention, but it's a bit distasteful to use it for funeral ceremonies."

Turning his head and thinking again, he said, "However, if it is used on that stunning plain-clothed woman, it will be more flavorful, wonderful, wonderful. If it is changed to colorful ones, the beauty will be lost."

Hua Yaoling took a look at her colorful floral dress, and rolled Chen Chu's eyes in annoyance.

"You're so poor, and you should judge the girl's family? Don't you just look at the beauty of the leading woman? If you want to be pretty and filial, don't you? Then let your wife wear filial piety every day."

Chen Chuzhi's face turned red and then pale from being choked by the flower rattles, and he was also a little annoyed: "Xiaosheng is not like a disciple, he just speaks out what is in his heart boldly. Everyone has a love for beauty, this is why Human nature. Furthermore, if Xiaosheng marries a wife, he will definitely not let her dress like a girl like you."

Hua Yingling was so angry that she wanted to hit someone.

"No, no." Gu Buquan imitated Chen Chuzhi's appearance and smiled, "My lord, what you said is wrong. In the vast world, there are various forms of things and people with various styles. They are known to be elegant and elegant, and colorful and enthusiastic. It's just that everyone has different preferences. Even if the young master marries a wife, she has her own preferences, and how she dresses should be determined by her own temperament."

"Xiaosheng couldn't understand the philosophy of the girl's words. He must have read a lot of classics. Xiaosheng dared to ask the girl which master she studied under. When she has the opportunity to come to ask for advice in the future."

Gu Buquan shook his head: "I haven't read the book, these words are said by the master, I think it makes sense so I wrote it down."

"Respecting the teacher must be a high-level person."

Hua Yaoling laughed loudly: "Her master also sells coffins, so it's not wrong to say that he is an expert in making coffins."

Uh...Chen Chuzhi was tongue-tied.

Gu Buquan didn't take it seriously, but said indifferently: "I just want to say that everyone has their own preferences in dressing and eating, and you don't have to use your own preferences to take away others' good things."

"What the girl taught me is that Xiaosheng forgot that men have male thoughts and women have female thoughts. Everyone has different preferences. It is a gentleman not to force others because of what he thinks."

Chen Chuzhi bowed deeply to the flower rattle, "Xiaosheng knows his mistake, and hereby apologizes to the rattle girl, and hopes that the girl will be happy."

"Forget it, I just don't care about you." Hua Yingling replied with a salute.

Chen Chuzhi bowed again, Hua Yaoling had no choice but to bow back again, back and forth, their heads were about to bump into each other.

Gu Buquan looked at it for a while, it seemed that there was nothing wrong with her here!

Bored looking for idiot, when he turned his head, Ling An and Sun Xiaokong disappeared, thinking to himself, this Sun Xiaokong and idiot have become closer and closer recently.

Ling'an and Sun Xiaokong didn't know where to stay until they found an inn in the evening.

"How did brother idiot know that I was staying here?" Chen Chuzhi was very surprised.

Ling An glanced at him disdainfully, and replied, "Fish balls."

Chen Chuzhi became more and more puzzled.

Gu Buquan said: "Before I entered the city, I said that I want to eat fish balls, and the most famous fish balls in Fuzhou City is on this street. There are two inns at the end of the street. Don't you know after a little inquiry?"

Hua Yaoling was not convinced: "Then I still said I want to buy makeup."

Gu Buquan glanced coldly at Hua Yingling: "It's very simple, because he knows that I must have paid for the money to stay in the hotel, and he wants to pluck a hair from your glazed cat, and there is no door."

Hua Rattle finally shut up.

"So that's how it is." Chen Chuzhi couldn't help admiring this dude who was named idiot but he wasn't stupid at all, "But, brother idiot didn't tell you, how did you know he thought so?"

Gu Buquan was stunned for a moment, and responded in a low voice: "I just know." He hurriedly pulled Ling An and asked, "Quickly tell me, what have you found?"

Ling An seemed to have a smiling face only for Gu Buquan, and replied: "Yes."

Butterfly Dream Village appeared a year ago. There were twelve young women living in a single-family courtyard in the north of the city. The owner was unknown. A woman named Mengdie came forward to negotiate with people on weekdays. The stunning woman at the door is in charge of beating the banner.

It is understandable that Diemeng Zhuang only takes care of funerals for young women.

The strange thing is that they only charge half a penny in total, but they have to entrust all matters to them, and the master is not allowed to intervene.

Half a penny, five hundred copper coins, what is enough for it?What is the woman in Diemengzhuang planning?
