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

Chapter 14 Fame is more important than anything else

Chinese people have a good reputation and a good reputation. In the eyes of the ancients, a good reputation is even more important than life.

For many ancient literati, "famous through the ages" is a lifelong goal.

This still applies in the Republic of China, and the unspoken rule that follows is that if you lose your reputation and moral character, you will be unable to move forward in this humane society.

This is also the reason why Lao Bao lost his mind and suddenly knelt down.

He was afraid that if Bao Guowei was sent to the police station, everything he hoped for would be in vain.

By then, being expelled from school would be a trivial matter, and losing the ability to make a living would be the most fatal thing.

Bao Guowei expected the conflict, but he didn't expect that the cheap daddy would cry and kneel down, and he panicked for a while.

"Dad, you get up first, my son has his own way."

Bao Guowei wanted to help Lao Bao up, but Lao Bao was indifferent and continued to kneel in the direction of Master Qin and plead.

That waist is even more bent.

Mr. Qin turned aside and avoided kneeling like a god of plague. He breathed out from his nostrils and said: "It is understandable to seek fame and reputation. It is really shameful to steal and seek vanity. Let your son take off these clothes and kneel down." Admit your mistake and the matter will be settled."

"This... this..." After hearing this, Lao Bao glanced at Bao Guowei.

Bao Guowei frowned and spoke loudly every word.

"May I ask Mr. Qin, is there any evidence for what you guys said above?"

"You little bastard, you still dare to quibble. Isn't it obvious where you got such good handwriting and such good clothes?" Aunt Ding beside her started making noise again.

Bao Guowei turned around and stared. Aunt Ding was afraid of being beaten again, so she immediately lost her arrogance, shrank her neck and stopped talking.

Master Qin narrowed his eyes. He did not expect that things would develop to this point.

In the past, there were some conflicts among the servants. As long as he came forward and glared or became angry, these people would be as scared as a mouse seeing a cat, and the matter would be solved.

But Bao Guowei didn't frown at all. Why should he? What confidence do you have?

"Guowei, please stop saying a few words. This is the master! Let's go home and let uncle handle this matter." Hu Da continued to dissuade him.

Bao Guowei patted Hu Da on the shoulder to reassure him. Seeing Bao Guowei's gentle expression, Hu Da felt that the child must have listened and turned around to speak to Mr. Qin.

"master……"

"How can I slander people out of thin air? I, Bao Guowei, don't want to care about such a trivial matter, but unfortunately my father is being bullied. No matter who it is, I, Bao Guowei, will make things right!"

"Since you don't believe that I, Bao Guowei, can write this couplet, I will write it to open your eyes!"

Mr. Qin's anger surged after hearing the first half of the sentence, and he was about to yell angrily, but when he heard the second half, he frowned.

"What did you say?"

"Paper, ink and pen!"

Everyone around looked at Bao Guowei. He was wearing a suit and looked upright, which was even more surprising.

In the eyes of everyone, Bao Guowei has long been accused of impersonation, theft and other crimes.

The best proof is that Lao Bao knelt down and begged for mercy.

But he was the son of a servant, born in a humble way, and he made a mistake and still dared to talk to the master like this?

"Guowei!" Hu Da wanted to speak, but Bao Guowei waved his hand to stop him.

Aunt Ding had the confidence to back her up, jumped up and said, "Bao Guowei, who do you think you are? How dare you find a place in front of me."

Bao Guowei glanced at Aunt Ding and ignored her, just looking at Mr. Qin.

Master Qin's white beard trembled slightly. The performance of the boy in front of him really surprised him.

Is this Lao Bao's child? His demeanor and manner are not like those of a servant's son, but rather like those literati and scholars he interacts with in daily life.

It would be great if my own children could have such magnanimity.

Did he have any chance?

Thinking of this, the more Mr. Qin thought about it, the more something was wrong. The Qin family could not grow so strong without his caution. He then waved his hand to stop Gao Sheng and others who wanted to drag Bao Guowei away.

"Let him write. Gao Sheng will go to my study to get some pen and ink and ask him to write a couplet now."

"Master! You can't!" Aunt Ding howled like a dead mother, and no one paid attention to her.

"Guowei! Are you serious?"

Bao Guowei supported his father, patted his dry and rough hands and said, "Don't worry, Dad, I have confidence." "Okay, okay, I believe you." Lao Bao wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, no. Stop and nod.

"Guowei?"

Hu Da also cast an inquiring look. When Bao Guowei nodded, he sighed and went to prepare.

Everyone immediately left the kitchen and soon arrived at the open-air hall in the center of the mansion.

This is the widest place and can accommodate many people. Everyone can be a witness.

It was already evening. Most people had finished their work and gathered in the hall after seeing any changes in the mansion.

In particular, the day laborers in the mansion were the most active. After hearing the whole story, they rushed to the hall to cheer for Bao Guowei.

"Then forget it about the old woman bullying us. She even bullied a kid. Let's go and support Xiaobao. If the master has any favoritism, I, Old Wei, will be the first to disagree!"

Lao Wei said loudly to the crowd of day workers, and received an immediate response.

"That bitch is nothing!"

"Yes! Support the baby!"

"We don't agree either!"

Not long after, Gao Sheng, Hu Da and others were busy in the hall and had already placed a square table in the center.

Looking at the crowd gathered, Mr. Qin narrowed his eyes. This was something he tacitly agreed to promote.

Today is a good opportunity. Once there are more people, this matter will inevitably spread.

If Bao Guowei could not write calligraphy, he would deal with it impartially. If Bao Guowei could write, he would be a courteous corporal.

In any case, Qin Shouguan will not lose anything, and he can even gain a good reputation.

Master Qin turned his head and said to Bao Guowei: "Bao Guowei has prepared this ink, paper and inkstone for you. Our Qin government does not wrongly accuse good people. As long as you can write the calligraphy on the couplet, it will prove that you are of innocence.”

He paused, narrowed his eyes and continued: "On the contrary, if the old and new accounts are settled together, your father will have to be expelled from the Qin Mansion!"

Ignoring Master Qin's threat, Bao Guowei asked, "What if I write it out?"

After a pause, he pointed to Aunt Ding and said: "If I write it out, I will expel this crazy woman who chews people's tongue and slanders people's innocence out of thin air."

Mr. Qin looked at Aunt Ding, thought about it, and said without any hesitation: "It's a deal!"

"Master! Master! This can't be done! Hey, master!"

Aunt Ding howled loudly at Master Qin. At this moment, Master Qin finally got tired and waved his hand to Gao Sheng.

Gao Sheng, who was standing nearby, understood immediately. He was already ready to go and pulled Aunt Ding out of the door.

The surrounding area suddenly became much cleaner.

"Write the small package carefully! Give your father some air and tell that bastard to get out!"

"Yes! Let that bastard go away!"

Most of the day laborers outside the door have children. They see Lao Bao's feelings for Bao Guowei and feel the same when they see Lao Bao being wronged.

Especially when the other party is still that Aunt Ding who looks down on others.

"Guowei, write well."

After grinding the ink, Hu Da handed the brush to Bao Guowei. He had been studying for several years, so grinding the ink and spreading it on paper was no problem.

Bao Guowei nodded to express his gratitude, took the brush, skillfully placed it in the ink plate and dipped it in it.

He put down the pen gently, and as soon as the tip of the brush touched the paper, it became soft and glided on the white rice paper like a dragon.

After a while, the words on the paper appeared.

As soon as Bao Guowei started writing, Mr. Qin, who was standing next to him, shrank his pupils. When all the sentences were written, Mr. Qin frowned and leaned his head over to take a closer look.

It was clearly written on the rice paper.

"Don't be afraid of your bones being shattered into pieces, you must keep your innocence in this world!"
