Chapter 1378 [Updated on August 17]
Ms. Yu's voice was so loud that everyone in the lobby knew that Ruoyin was an unworthy and lowly housemaid.
After hearing this, Banmei couldn't help but want to argue with Ms. Yu.
Who said that her empress is the cheapest maid in the house.
It is obviously the empress of the most noble country in the whole Qing Dynasty!
If you ask her, this Miss Yu's family is going to be in disaster.
At that time, Miss Yu will be the daughter of the lowest sinner.
However, before Banmei could find someone to reason with, Ruoyin grabbed Banmei.
She had thought of walking away.
However, Miss Yu sincerely wants to quarrel with her, so she will accompany her for a while.
She who had walked up the stairs started to walk back.
Seeing this, the scholars in the lobby were booing like they were watching a good show.
Ruoyin ignored those who made a fuss.
Instead, he walked up to Ms. Yu and asked lightly, "You said I was a housemaid, do you have evidence?"
She and fourth master had already agreed.
In order to cause unnecessary trouble, she still shows herself as a personal servant girl.
Because, if you present yourself as a housemaid, it is no different from presenting yourself as your wife.
Don't you just tell everyone that she is his woman?
It just so happened that there were many rooms in the font size suite.
Banmei, Su Peisheng, and the guards were waiting and keeping watch in the suite day and night.
No one knew that she and fourth master were masters and servants before.
The queen kissed, hugged, held high, and slept on the same bed.
"So what if you don't have evidence." Ms. Yu said confidently, "Well, even if you're not his maidservant, that still can't conceal your desire to be the maidservant of the fourth master. A village girl like you, In his bones, he wants to climb into the master's bed, a country bumpkin who wants to fly up the branches and become a phoenix one day!"
"I'm not a country bumpkin, nor a country girl, I...I'm..." Ruoyin pretended to be speechless.
"What are you?" Miss Yu looked at Ruoyin sharply, "I can't make it up, so I'm stuttering here."
"I didn't make it up. I'm fourth master's personal maid and book boy," Ruoyin said.
"Huh?" Ms. Yu smiled contemptuously, and said in disbelief, "Ms. Ben didn't hear wrong, did you say that you are a book boy?"
As she said that, she smiled, and said to the scholars around her: "In the Qing Dynasty where women are virtuous without talent, I have only seen men as schoolboys, but I have never seen women as schoolboys. Everyone has seen them." Do you believe she is a book boy?"
"I don't believe it!" The people around watched the excitement.
Most of those scholars are Miss Yu's supporters.
Because Ms. Yu is well-known in Suzhou.
In addition, she is the direct daughter of the chief examiner Yu Hongtu, so she is even more popular.
On the other hand, Ruoyin, a nameless little maid with unknown background, naturally had no one to support her.
Encouraged by everyone, Ms. Yu spread her hands towards Ruoyin, pretending to be helpless, and said, "You heard it, they don't believe you, let alone me. Well, let me say four words, if you If you can answer well, I will believe that you are fourth master's book boy, and I will apologize to you in public."
"However, if you can't answer, you can run ten laps around the hall in front of the big guys, and say loudly that you are a village girl and a country bumpkin! Do you dare?"
Seeing Ruoyin's faltering, Miss Yu immediately thought she was lying.
Then she will expose her lies in public and expose her ugly face.
Let her embarrass herself around the lobby again!
"Why don't you dare!" Ruoyin said indifferently.
Hearing this, a shrewd gleam flashed in Miss Yu's eyes, and she thought that this idiot had finally been fooled!
There are pens, ink, paper and inkstones in the inn.
In addition, there are many scholars recently, so there is a large wooden board in the lobby, on which rice paper can be placed.
It is used to write the announcement menu of the inn that day, and for scholars to discuss books.
I saw that Ms. Yu wrote four beautiful characters on the paper.
They are: 嫑, *, 屮, evil.
After finishing writing, she said provocatively to Ruoyin: "These four words are very simple for this lady. If you don't even know these four words, then you are an illiterate, vulgar village girl, a country bumpkin !"
Here, behind every scholar, there are a thousand illiterates.
Because printing is not advanced enough.
Although at this time, there was already movable type printing.
But this kind of printing is not available to everyone, and not everyone can afford it.
Therefore, most folks use block printing.
When printing, the content must be carved on the wood first.
Ink is then applied to the engraving with a brush.
Cover it with white paper.
As a result, if you want to print a book, you need a very complicated procedure.
As a result, people want to buy a book, at least three grams of gold.
And those farmers have low income, and it takes about twenty-five years to buy a book.
If the economic situation is poor, I am afraid that I will not be able to afford a book for the rest of my life, so how can I learn knowledge.
Ms. Yu has learned a lot of knowledge because her father is a student of politics.
This caused her to have a little ink in her stomach, and she was very proud.
I can't wait to show that she is an intellectual in front of everyone.
She thinks that there are few men studying these days, not to mention this lowly maid, she must be an illiterate!
Ruoyin frowned and looked at the four words.
I seriously suspect that Ms. Yu bullied her for not studying enough, and she is fooling her here.
These are four simple words.
It's obviously quite complicated, isn't it?
In her eyes, one, two, three, people, mouth, small, big are really simple, okay?
Moreover, her first instinct is the second word and the third word, are you sure they are not two symbols?
Then, she read the four words carefully.
Immediately afterwards, Ruoyin held his lips and said the first word first.
"Hey, top and bottom are important. It is common in dialects. The pronunciations of biáo, niǎo, and bao all mean not to be."
As soon as the voice fell, the surrounding roared with laughter.
Others laughed at her.
"This servant girl is illiterate and still acting like a fool."
"That's right, Ms. Yu is Xuezheng's daughter, so the questions she asks are naturally difficult."
"Let's not say she's a village girl, even if I'm a Fu Wuche, I don't know this word."
"This is a rare word, I have never seen it before."
Such taunts kept coming to Ruoyin's ears.
However, at this time, Miss Yu said displeasedly: "Why are you laughing and arguing, she got the answer right!"
"Huh?" Everyone thought it was incredible.
How could this maid who had never read a book guess a word they didn't know?
In the end, they can only comfort themselves.
They don't usually use such rare words at all, so of course they can't guess them correctly.
I usually don't want things, just say no, whoever can say biáo, it sounds like a curse.
After guessing the first word correctly, Ruoyin continued: "The second word is pronounced wàn, which is a spell of many tribes in ancient times. It can also be written in reverse, for example."
As he spoke, Ruoyin wrote a "卍" on the paper.
