I am born with insufficiency

Chapter 103 Cleaning the dust but not washing the heart ([-])
The thin scholar turned into a beautiful lady, everyone was stunned for a moment, and then there was an uproar.

The scholar who said that he was "girly" was very dissatisfied and shouted at the top of his voice.

"This is a scene where Xichen Tea House meets friends through literature. You are a girl, and you don't do needlework at home, so why come here to make trouble? Isn't this a waste of everyone's time?"

The woman didn't panic, she stroked her beautiful hair, and faced the scholars arrogantly.

"Xichen Tea House makes friends with literature. Is there a distinction between men and women? The lady who came to write did not use force, so how could she be making trouble? Besides, my calligraphy is just young and not accumulated enough. Given time, I may not lose to you. On poetry Wen is even better than you. If it weren't for this lady being a daughter, it wouldn't be the turn of you to enter the examination room to fight for fame."

The woman's words were astonishing, attracting many people to watch, and the scholar's face became even more embarrassing.

"Please go in and ask Master Shen, is it true that women are not allowed to take part in the test? If so, I advise him not to use the banner of fair test, it's embarrassing." The woman said to the supervisor again.

"Okay, well said. If fairness still divides men and women, then it's not fair." Gu Buquan shouted at the woman.

Although the woman was wearing men's clothes and a hat, but the rings under the ears were clearly visible, how could she escape Gu Buquan's piercing eyes?
She was just watching with cold eyes at first, not knowing what this woman wanted to do, but she never expected that every sentence was spoken to her heart.

From this moment on, Gu Buquan felt joy towards the woman from the bottom of his heart, feeling that she spoke well and did what she did extremely beautifully.

The woman raised her jaw and smiled, with the delicacy of a little girl in her complacency.

Coupled with Gu Buquan's yell, this offended all the scholars present.

"Since you are a daughter, you should make needlework and embroidered wedding dresses at home. It is shameful for women to disguise themselves as men."

"The sage said, a woman is virtuous without talent. You little girl has read a little and can read a few words. You are a husband and a child at home. But you are so arrogant, and you still want to enter the examination room?"

"So what if you enter the examination room? Do you still want to become an official in politics?"

The scholars were all filled with righteous indignation, and surrounded the woman and Gu Buquan in the middle to criticize them.

Chen Chuzhi held the woman's hat in a daze, and only then did he wake up.

"Brothers, what you said is wrong." Chen Chuzhi said.

"Buddha said that all living beings are equal. Apart from poverty, wealth and status, equality between men and women is also included. If a woman is talented, she can enter the examination room and win the top spot. Why not become an official and enter politics?"

A scholar retorted: "Women are engaged in politics, do they only talk about how to embroider?"

The crowd burst into laughter.

"Why not talk about embroidery?" Chen Chuzhi was still calm and said slowly, "Nongsang weaving and embroidery are originally an indispensable livelihood for the people. If a woman is an official, she will know how to live and benefit all directions. Isn't it a great merit? ?”

"This……"

Chen Chuzhi said again, "Women are said to be lowly, but there are 360 ​​lines in the world, which line lacks women's hard work? Which kind of harmonious and beautiful family can lack capable female relatives? Dare I ask which dear brother regards his mother and sisters at home?" How can a lowly mother give birth to such a noble person? My Buddha is tolerant, the whole family is brothers and sisters, dare to ask, which one is noble and which one is low? If a woman has no talent, how can she care for her husband and teach her children? How can you teach a talented son like you dear brothers?"

All the scholars were speechless.

"As far as I know, Xichen Tea House selects people based on talents, not men and women, because there are not a few talented women. From my point of view, we should call for the addition of a women's department, and select talented women to govern One side is the truth."

While Chen Chuzhi was eloquent, he cupped his fists towards Gu Buquan.

Gu Buquan smiled, she understood what Chen Chuzhi meant.

Given the current situation, it is even more difficult to call for the addition of a women's department, let alone a coeducational department.

Regarding the examination room, she had discussed it with him when they first met in Fuzhou City, but that was just a private talk. I didn't expect Chen Chuzhi to bring it up in front of everyone today. His courage is really admirable.

Gu Buquan couldn't help but pay a little more respect to Chen Chuzhi, this elder brother was not in vain.

"What brother said, every sentence speaks to my heart, it is worthy of my respect."

The woman bowed to Chen Chuzhi generously, and said, "My lady's surname is Wang, and her name is Fengque. She is 16 years old and belongs to the dog."

"But it's from Wang Wei's 'Shuangfeng Temple in the Imperial City in the Clouds, Spring Trees in the Rain'?" Chen Chuzhi asked.

This can't be taken care of completely. People say that their age is in the zodiac sign, but he doesn't care where their names come from?
The woman smiled: "That's right. Chen Chuzhi, my lady has taken a fancy to you. If you are interested, you can come to my house to propose marriage. There is no need to compete with others for this unknown place."

Everyone whispered, this woman's words and demeanor are all bold and arrogant, she must be a spoiled young lady from a rich family, Chen Chuzhi has climbed the ranks with no effort, why are she still here?
All of a sudden, there were ridicule, ridicule, envy, and discussions.

"Brother Chen, didn't you come to Xichen Tea House to solve the problem of three meals a day? With the support of this rich lady, there is no need to worry about the future." Gu Buquan pulled Chen Chuzhi's sleeve and whispered in his ear Whisper.

"And this Miss Wang is talented, virtuous and generous. I like the kind. From now on, if I don't eat or drink, I can go to your place for a meal. Brother Chen, don't you think so?"

Gu Buquan's wishful thinking was crackling.

Chen Chuzhi nodded.

Gu Buquan thought that it was a proper matter, but he didn't want Chen Chuzhi to cough a few times, bowed to Miss Wang Fengque, and opened her mouth to make her angry.

"Miss' heart, I accept it, but I already have my own heart, so I dare not accept Miss's love, I am really sorry."

Miss Feng Que probably didn't expect that Chen Chuzhi would reject her mercilessly in front of everyone, and the haughty face froze for a long time before turning around.

"My lady lives in the first room in the four alleys of Nancheng, and I look forward to your visit."

Miss Feng Que dropped a sentence, put away Chen Chuzhi's calligraphy and painting domineeringly, flicked his sleeves like a man, and walked away, staring at Gu Buquan in a daze.

"Brother Chen, are you stupid? You can't eat three meals a day with pride." Gu Buquan whispered in Chen Chuzhi's ear.

Chen Chuzhi just looked at her and smiled without saying a word.

Suddenly, Gu Buquan understood something, and his face turned red.

Where is this?

"Chen Chuzhi, Mr. Chen, the owner of the villa, please tell the inner hall."

The steward suddenly gave a high report, which shocked everyone.

If the owner is invited, he will directly enter the inner hall for a talk. This is unprecedented in Xichen Tea House, and Chen Chuzhi is No.1.

What was even more unexpected was that Master Shen came out in person and saluted Chen Chuzhi.

"Just now, Mr. Chen and you young masters had a discussion about women's study and career in politics. It is really a high-level discussion. Every sentence is penetrating, and Xiao Ke feels deeply. I want to invite Mr. Chen to enter the inner hall for a detailed discussion. I hope you will move forward."

"Uh, yes, I dare not obey orders."

Chen Chuzhi was stunned for a long time before he came to his senses, and was extremely pleasantly surprised.

"Sister Buquan, you wait here, brother will come as soon as he goes."

"En." Gu Buquan waved his hand at Chen Chuzhi, "Don't worry, brother."

Under everyone's admiring eyes, Chen Chuzhi walked into the Xichen tea house with the owner of the village.

Shen Zhuangzhuang turned his head and smiled at Gu Buquan, envious of all the others.

Then the manager announced that a few scholars had entered the tea house, it was just the outer hall, and it was always no more than one or two out of eleven.

"It's all right now." Gu Buquan let out a long breath.

Naturally, Chen Chuzhi's talent needn't be too much to worry about, the important thing is to solve his board and lodging problem, so that he can go straight to a bright future with peace of mind.

She was relieved.

"Do you think this is a good thing? Not necessarily."

The previous scholar who always said strange things, he was not favored, he was not even allowed to enter the tea house, he was extremely dissatisfied, and his words became more and more eccentric.

"Why did you say that, brother?" asked another scholar who was not selected.

The scholar looked around and said in a low voice, "I heard that some people who were invited into the inner hall before disappeared without a trace. Haven't you heard of the unknown male corpse that appeared recently? Master Shen favors a great talent who was invited into the inner hall of the tea house."

"Shh." Someone hastily stopped, "Don't make irresponsible remarks, be careful not to burn yourself."

Another white-clothed scholar said: "Brother, this is a lie. Since you have such doubts, why did you come to take part in the test?"

The scholar blushed and said with a smile, "It's just a rumor in the market, let's just say it, let's just listen to it, let's just stop hearing it."

The white-clothed scholar said: "Brother Tai came to take part in the test today, and he must know that almost all the people who were sponsored by the tea house before were on the list, otherwise, Xiongtai wouldn't have to bother so much."

"Those who are on the list, they took office after they were appointed officials, how could they still stay in the capital, and how could they still show their faces in Xichen Tea House? Just imagine, if you and I get what we want one day, when the scenery is infinite, Will you still ask people to talk about the down and out of the past in front of you and me? So, those people are not missing, but just hiding the unbearable past. As for the male corpse, there is no evidence It shows that he has something to do with Xichen Tea House, brother, don't copy what others say."

"But there is no evidence to show that he has nothing to do with Xichen Tea House." The scholar insisted stubbornly.

"Missing? Male corpse?"

Gu Buquan couldn't help shivering when he heard the words.
