Reborn Bao Guowei, I really didn’t want to be a great writer!

Chapter 11 This couplet was not written by Bao Guowei!

The Qin family mansion.

Today is the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, two days before the first day of the lunar new year, and the house is gradually becoming lively.

It's not that relatives from the main family are here, it's just that there is a lot of work in the house at the end of the year, so some part-time workers from the countryside who cooperate all year round are hired.

It was now evening, and the day laborers who had finished their work gathered around the kitchen door, stretching their heads to look at the door curiously.

A day laborer with glasses put his hands behind his back and explained to everyone: "This character should be pronounced rice, and this character should be pronounced qing."

Seeing that everyone was confused, the bespectacled laborer immediately showed a proud look on his face: "Mi Qing saw that the mountains and rivers are close, and Yida only knew that the universe is small. This must be the case."

The dozen or so people around him stared at him, feeling a little strange, but they couldn't explain why.

"Old Wei, what does this mean? Tell everyone."

Hearing the day laborer named Lao Wei cough, he straightened his stained collar and said.

"It should be said that the big white rice is so white that you can see through it. It is piled up like a hill. When I was happy, I actually saw shells as big as the sky."

"Oh~"

After hearing Lao Wei's explanation, everyone praised him repeatedly.

"This has a good meaning. The white rice is as big as a hill, the scallops are as big as the sky, and the meat makes me happy just thinking about it!"

"It's Lao Wei who's the cause. None of us know each other, but he is the most knowledgeable."

"Yes, I think the writing is very beautiful, even better than that of the village scholar. Old Wei also commented on it."

Old Wei suddenly became happy when he heard that everyone was admiring him. He straightened his back several times and pretended to be a teacher with his hands behind his back. But just as he was about to speak, inappropriate laughter came from behind him.

"Pfft, what a stupid bumpkin."

The day laborers immediately looked in the direction of the laughter and glared angrily.

"Hey, Mrs. Ding, why are you scolding me?"

"Yes, yes! You are the bumpkin."

Aunt Ding didn't frown at all, she put her hands on her hips and said, "You're not a country bumpkin, you read the couplets wrong, and you're still pretending to be a scholar!

Old Wei glared, raised his neck and said: "You old woman, you can't accuse someone of innocence out of thin air! You said I read it wrong, but you should tell me how to read it."

"This sentence is obviously 'the clearer the air, the closer the mountains and rivers are, the more distant the universe is.'" Aunt Ding rolled her eyes. "What white rice? Beizi's, so stupid."

"Mo Tou Mo Nao" actually means similar to "brainless" in the local dialect of Hangzhou.

Old Wei from the countryside of Hangcheng naturally understood what he said. His face turned red with anger and he shouted back: "You are so smart. I just mispronounced a few words. You are the only one who is educated. You have Is culture as good as a son who takes charge of other people’s affairs?”

The day laborers had heard before that this was a couplet written by Bao Guowei, the son of Bao who was in charge of the house. It was very good.

That's why they came over to take a look. Who knew that they would be ridiculed by the unknown wife of the master's family? Although they were the master's family, they were afraid of a servant, so they shouted back.

"That's right, I guarantee that I will have a son if I take charge of things. Are you jealous?"

"What are you pretending to be? Is your son not as promising as others?"

It's a good thing that the day laborers didn't mention it. The mention of Madam Bao Guowei Ding was like a firecracker that exploded instantly.

"He Bao Youtian knows how to teach his son? He has taught a wolf who has repeated his grades for two years, spent a lot of money and couldn't even get a B grade, and even I look down upon him!"

"Damn it, don't you know? His son Bao Guowei bought this couplet on the street!"

Aunt Ding's suppressed ability to curse suddenly exploded, and all kinds of swear words and slang came out.

She and Lao Bao came to the Qin Mansion at the same time, but the master always favored one over the other, and she had long been conflicted in her heart.

Now new and old grudges broke out together. She usually endured it in front of Lao Bao and maintained the dignity among colleagues. Today, she didn't want to endure it anymore when facing the day laborers from the countryside.

"Ms. Ding, we are earning a lot of hard money, but you are not the owner of this house, so why are you so pretentious?"

Most of the part-time workers took advantage of the extra income during the Chinese New Year, and they usually just accepted the anger of their masters. But a servant dared to boss them around, and they immediately stopped working.

"That's right, I know you look down on us, why are you pretending to be a wife?"

The more she spoke, the more she went overboard. Every sentence she spoke went straight to the heart of Aunt Ding.

"The old lady is fighting with you!"

Aunt Ding let out a long howl and was about to start a fight, and the two sides immediately became at war with each other.

"Hey, hey, hey! What are you doing! What are you doing! Harmony brings wealth! Harmony brings wealth!"

Hu Da, who heard the noise, immediately ran out and pulled away the spitting Aunt Ding, the blushing old Wei, and all the long-term workers. Fortunately, he arrived in time, and the two sides had not yet started.     "Speak well and celebrate the New Year."

After all, Hu Da finally stopped the scolding battle between the two parties. After understanding what was going on, he sighed and said, "Aunt Ding, you too, please stop saying hurtful words. Lao Bao has already said that this is indeed Guowei."

Hu Da thought that the host family would always have to keep some, otherwise it would not look good during the Chinese New Year. Who knew who among the crowd of day laborers would say something at this time.

"Kefu Ming."

I don’t know who revealed Aunt Ding’s family situation. At this moment, Aunt Ding, who was depressed, suddenly exploded.

"Okay, Hu Da, you team up to bully me. If I don't tear up this tattered couplet, I'll let you brag!"

As she spoke, the tall Aunt Ding threw away Hu Da, jumped up and tried to tear off the couplet in front of her.

Everyone rushed forward to stop it, and the situation was once out of control.

At this time, an angry shout came from the door.

"What are you doing! It's your fault!"

A middle-aged man wearing a gilt mandarin jacket and a melon-pipe hat walked in. His face was frosty, followed by a tall man.

"Master."

Hu Da recognized it at a glance. Wasn't this Qin Jingnian, the master of the Qin family mansion who had gone to Shanghai? I heard that the master was coming back a few days ago. I originally received a letter saying that he would be back on New Year's Eve tomorrow, but why was it earlier than expected?

Hu Da looked at the man behind Master Qin. He was not Gao Sheng in the mansion. He seemed to be going to pick up the master. Why didn't he ventilate himself in advance? He felt a little resentful in his heart.

But Gao Sheng stood behind Mr. Qin and looked at Hu Da with a troubled face, pursed his lips and shook his head.

As an old man in the Qin Mansion, Hu Da immediately knew that the master was not in a good mood today, and this matter was a bit troublesome.

"Master, please calm down. It's okay. There were just some minor conflicts. It was all misunderstandings." Hu Da immediately stepped forward and explained with a bowed waist.

The plan for now is to suppress the matter. If the trouble comes to the master, everyone will have a hard time this year.

The day laborers were also smart, and they all calmed down when they saw the master's family. Old Wei also said with a smile.

"It's nothing serious, Master. We had some misunderstandings with Aunt Ding."

Mr. Qin had a wrinkled academic face and glanced at Aunt Ding who lowered her head and said nothing. Since both parties had said so, it was not easy for him to pursue it. Thinking that the Chinese New Year was about to come, he said: "This is a big Chinese New Year." Harmony brings wealth, everyone, please work hard and do your job well. Our Qin family will not treat you badly."

"Yes Yes Yes."

"It all depends on the master's arrangement."

The short-term workers nodded one after another, not daring to show any disrespect to Mr. Qin.

Master Qin immediately showed a warm smile on his face: "Let's all rest. We will be busy for a while tomorrow. The Qin family will not be stingy with rewards."

"Thank you, Master!"

"Mr. Qin is a good man!"

"Good luck to Mr. Qin!"

After thanking Master Qin profusely, the day laborers prepared to disperse.

"Fortunately, it's okay." Hu Da exhaled, fearing that there would be another conflict.

"Hu Da, the couplet at your door is pretty good. Who can I ask to write it?"

Just as he was about to leave, Mr. Hu heard Master Qin's question, and his heart suddenly skipped a beat. He didn't dare to lie, so he could only turn around and tell the truth.

"To tell you the truth, my son in charge wrote this for me. It's just the New Year, so I don't need to go to the market to buy it."

"Bao Youtian's son? I have some impressions. It seems that he is doing well now. His calligraphy is excellent. I spent the past two years introducing him to the provincial middle school."

Mr. Qin nodded with satisfaction, with appreciation on his face.

"Thanks to my help, Lao Bao is so lucky!" Hu said with a laugh, feeling that his face was also shining.

Aunt Ding next to her stared, and when she was about to open her mouth, she was pulled hard by Hu Da, and she held back.

"Hu Da, where is Lao Bao? Call him over. This Bao Guowei is promising. I must meet him during the Chinese New Year."

"Hey, I'm going to call Lao Bao right now."

Hu Da responded quickly, and then wanted to pull Aunt Ding away. Who knew that Aunt Ding's face suddenly turned red after listening to Master Qin's words, shook off Hu Da's hand, and raised her head and said to Master Qin.

"Master, don't be deceived. This couplet was not written by Bao Guowei!"
