Xiaosheng is not a nerd

Chapter 71

Xie Fu smiled.

Tantai Wenwang said softly: "Thank you Fu, I have wronged you, I, the majestic son of Tantai Mansion, actually wants you to earn money."

Xie Fu laughed loudly: "Why do we pay so much attention to each other?"

Tantai Wenwang said loudly: "Yes! We don't care about each other, my family is your family, my sister is your sister, and my wife is your wife!"

Tantai Wenwang said it directly without hesitation this time.

Xie Fu quickly waved his hand, "I won't share this with you."

Tantai Wenwang laughed out loud.

……

The next day, Xie Fu went to the Benma club at the address mentioned by Tantai Wenwang. In order to avoid being too high-profile, Xie Fu changed into Hu Diquan's clothes.

After all, I was going to write poems and essays for those young masters, fight in the arena, and dress more gorgeously than those young masters, which is a bit unreasonable.

To be honest, Tantai Heqing is not stingy with these little fair faces, the clothes are silk and satin, the food is not bad, and there is a big yard to live in.

As long as you don't provoke Tantai Heqing, you really don't have to worry about food or clothing.

Thinking of the love of Tantai Crane, Xie Fu couldn't help but feel sorry for her. A dignified and pure lady from a great family, but she had to be tainted with such a stigma.

If she didn't want to support the Tantai family alone, she must be married now.

Xie Fu thought of her cough again, and wondered if her cough was better.

Xie Fu walked slowly all the way to feel the humanistic atmosphere of Suzhou.

The streets are already bustling with people coming and going, most of them are busy making a living and serving the upper-class nobles.

Soon came to the gate of the Benma club.

The gate of the Benma Club is a two-story building, like a restaurant, occupying a larger area than ordinary restaurants.

Xie Fu stepped into the Benma Club, the hall was bustling with people, a bit like a restaurant and a bit like a vegetable market.

In the middle is a large white paint list surrounded by many people.

Xie Fu came here for the first time, so he squeezed in out of curiosity.

I saw that there were lists written with black charcoal on the list, arranged from top to bottom according to the level of remuneration, one hundred cash, eighty cash, seventy cash...

Xie Fu took a rough look and found that the first two on the list were for people to fight.

This is rare, there are errand runners who help people fight, but the reward of this hundred cash is not low.

According to the calculation of four hundred cash for a shopkeeper in February, one fight can be worth seven or eight days' wages.

Xie Fu listened to the conversation of the people next to him, and he really thought that it was Mr. Zhao and Mr. Wu who recruited people to have a fight outside in order to compete for a post from Chen Duzhi.

Xie Fu couldn't do this fight, even if he did, fifty fights wouldn't be enough for Tantai Wenwang's last brothel.

He still does some things he is good at, such as writing poems and essays for people, playing brothel rings and so on.

Xie Fu turned to leave the crowded white paint list, when a refined young man walked in the door.

Xie Fu actually knew him, but it was Mr. Du Ruquan.

Tantai Wenwang told him Du Ruquan's name, after all, he had met him two or three times, and Xie Fu smiled as a greeting.

When Du Ruquan saw Xie Fu, he was obviously also surprised. He glanced at the plainly dressed Xie Fu, and finally his eyes fell on Xie Fu's face for a closer look, and then he was sure that he had not mistaken anyone.

Du Ruquan suddenly smiled.

Seeing Du Ruquan smiling, Xie Fu was about to go up to say hello.

At this time, a middle-aged man dressed in Confucianism walked up to Du Ruquan first, and said with an apologetic smile, "Young Master Du, you are here."

"Um……"

Du Ruquan responded lightly, glanced at Xie Fu arrogantly, and went directly to the second floor.

Xie Fu was at a loss, is this Du Ruquan also a member of the Benma Club?
Xie Fu walked over to the middle-aged man who greeted Du Ruquan just now, "Uncle, who was that young master just now?"

The middle-aged man replied: "Young Master Du Ruquan with the golden legs of the Benma Society."

"Oh, still golden legs."

In order to distinguish the level of ability, the Benma Society follows the Gu family's family hierarchy and divides errand runners into three classes, from low to high, namely bronze legs, silver legs, and golden legs.

Golden legs are naturally the highest level of status and ability.

The middle-aged man looked at the plainly dressed Xie Fu and asked, "Are you looking for work?"

Xie Fu nodded.

The middle-aged man said: "My surname is Meng. I'm in charge on the first floor. If I'm looking for a job, come and register first."

The steward Meng led Xie Fu to the counter as he said, "Pay a deposit of [-] cash, go through the formalities, and receive the bronze medal. From now on, you will be a member of the Benma Club. Every time you pay, you will have to deduct [-]% of it." Return to the Benma Club."

It is understandable to deduct a certain percentage of the remuneration. After all, it is impossible for such a big Benma Club to work for nothing, but Xie Fu did not bring any money today.

"I didn't bring any money here today."

"Then come back with the money."

At this time, a young woman walked in in a suit of white clothes, and went directly to the cabinet, "My mother-in-law is newly mourned, I would like to ask a gentleman to write an elegiac couplet."

Meng Guanshi said: "I want to ask you to write an elegiac couplet, and make a base of [-] essays."

The young woman was obviously taken aback, "So much money?"

Meng Guanshi said indifferently: "Then how much money have you prepared?"

The young woman said weakly: "I only have ten coins."

Manager Meng couldn't help laughing, "Are you kidding me? I want you to write an elegiac couplet for you for ten cents. Go to the bronze list and have a look. It costs twenty cents to deliver a letter for someone."

The young woman said weakly: "Then..."

Guanshi Meng said, "I can't help you without money."

In this world, books are expensive and paper is expensive, and those who can read and write are indeed a very small minority. Like ordinary people, they can't recognize a single scholar, and every family needs to ask someone to write for them.

However, writing an elegiac couplet in two hundred characters is a bit too much, Xie Fu said: "My lady, let me write it for you."

Hearing this, the young woman turned her head to look at Xie Fu, "You?"

"Yes, I will write this elegiac couplet for my wife."

The young woman saw that although Xie Fu was dressed in rough clothes, she faintly felt that he was a little different, a bit of a gentleman's Confucianism, and asked weakly, "Can you?"

"can."

Manager Meng laughed, "Just you, a marketer, want to earn this kind of money, so you should run errands for others and do some rough work."

The young woman was spreading out the cloth wrapping and was about to take out the wordless white couplet, when she heard Guanshi Meng's words, she hesitated again.

Instead, he said politely to Xie Fuke: "Sir, I spent [-] Wen to buy this white couplet, so don't write it down."

Xie Fu couldn't hear the woman's tactful evasion, and laughed: "If the writing is broken, I will compensate you."

With such words, the young woman had no reason to refuse, and handed over the blank letter without words.

"Boss Meng, borrow the pen and ink from the counter."

As Xie Fu said, he casually hung the wordless white couplet on the cabinet.

Those marketers who were standing in front of the copper list heard that someone was going to write in the hall, and gathered around to watch the commotion.

It's not uncommon for Mr. Gongzi to write, but this is the first time I've seen this common man writing.

It's not all just for jokes, but also for those who are curious and looking forward to it.

Xie Fu shook his sleeves, revealing his hands wrapped in white cloth.The fingers are completely gone.

Everyone was dumbfounded, this is just a joke.

　It will be removed from the new book list tomorrow, and there will be no more traffic in the future. Thank you for your support all the time.There are a lot of things I want to tell you, and I will post a post when I have time in July.
