Meeting the Official

Ren Jianbai was caught off guard and staggered when he was hit, almost sitting on the ground.

The person who bumped into Ren Jianbai was a strong man with a beard, his face was full of displeasure, "My eyes are so long that they reach the top of my head, and I can't even see the road!"

The other party's face was full of anger, Ren Jianbai did not dare to say a word, he just lowered his head and said timidly, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

There are no other words to say.

The strong man snorted coldly, "He is indeed a fool!"

Then he walked forward with long strides.

Ren Jianbai breathed a sigh of relief, but he became more and more angry. He felt more and more that everyone was staring at him and pointing fingers at him, which only made him feel more depressed.

He looked up and saw a tavern nearby, so he walked straight in, asked for a bottle of wine and two side dishes, and started eating and drinking.

After the sun reaches its highest point, it slowly slides down in the western sky.

It wasn't until the afterglow of the sunset lit up that Ren Jianbai reached out and punched the table in front of him.

The blow was so hard that the wine glasses and dishes on the table trembled.

The waiter who was passing by couldn't help curling his lips, especially when he saw the two dishes on his table, he raised his chin even more.

A plate of peanuts and a plate of pork head meat, which I drank all afternoon. Seriously...

I don’t know if I should say that I am stingy, or if I should say that I am in love with these two things.

But one thing is true. This person is dressed like a scholar and has a worried and depressed look on his face. After drinking for such a long time, he must be a candidate who failed the exam this spring.

It is best not to mess with such people when they are most depressed right now.

The waiter didn't take it seriously, but he glanced at it from time to time to prevent Ren Jianbai from going crazy because of his failure and further irritating the guests who were coming for dinner.

When Ren Jianbai saw the waiter looking at him from time to time, he became more and more unhappy. He pointed at the waiter drunkenly and shouted, "Why are you looking at me? What kind of flowers are growing on my face!"

"Your Majesty, you're overthinking it. The younger one didn't..."

The waiter hurriedly defended himself, but Ren Jianbai was so angry that he naturally refused to believe it, "Just look at it, why are you still trying to quibble now? No matter how I fail, I am still the master of the public examination. Who do you think you are? You are here with me."

Choking and shouting?"

"I can't blame you for working as a waiter in such a small wine shop. If you look down on people like this, your heart is completely broken!"

Listening to these shouts and curses, the waiter was a little confused.

He was just afraid that this man would cause trouble if he drank too much, so he looked at him twice. Who would have thought that he could tell that something was going on?

Do you still look down on him as a waiter?

What's wrong with his waiter? His waiter doesn't steal or rob, he just relies on his strength to make money, and he still has to be outnumbered?

The waiter was so angry that he started to argue with Ren Jianbai.

But before he could open his mouth, the manager of the wine shop quickly walked over, dragged the waiter behind him, and repeatedly shouted at Ren Jianbai, "Please calm down, sir. It was my fault in discipline that caused the subordinates to rush into each other."

You are truly guilty."

"As the guest officer just said, you are the master of Juren, and he is just a waiter. It is really not wrong for you to argue with him. In this case, I give you a toast!"

The shopkeeper brought a wine cup over and poured the wine on his own. Seeing that Ren Jianbai didn't react at all, he gritted his teeth and simply said, "I'll treat you to this meal!"

The other party didn't have much food and wine, but he was a difficult person to deal with. It would be much better to avoid the food and wine for this table than to affect the business of other tables.

Ren Jianbai's eyes widened at the shopkeeper's calculations, "You please?"

"Why did you invite me? We are strangers, so why did you treat me to this meal? Or do you think I am the kind of down-and-out scholar who can't even afford this meal?"

"You are really a dog looking down upon others!" The more Ren Jianbai said, the angrier he became, shouting at the top of his lungs, which made everyone in the restaurant look at him sideways.

Some even didn't want to be involved in the incident. They didn't even order the food as soon as they sat down and simply got up and left.

The shopkeeper was so anxious that sweat almost fell from his forehead, "I didn't mean that..."

"Then what do you mean?" Ren Jianbai roared, "Let me tell you, although I have fallen into disgrace this time because of others, I am not an ordinary poor scholar! You don't need to pay for the food and wine. I will pay for it myself."

!”

While shouting, Ren Jianbai reached for his money bag at his waist.

But came up empty.

Ren Jianbai's heart skipped a beat, then he touched his arms.

It is also empty.

Most of the wine woke up in an instant. Ren Jianbai hurriedly searched all over his body, but still couldn't find it.

But when he came out of the inn in the morning, he did bring a money bag and it was clearly tied to his body. Why did it disappear just now?

Ren Jianbai tried to think back, and suddenly remembered the sturdy man he met after running away from the gate of Gongyuan.

The man hit him very hard, and when the man left, he felt that the man's face seemed to be full of smiles.

That person must have stolen his money bag!

Ren Jianbai hurriedly defended, "It's not that I don't have money to pay for the food and drinks, it's just that someone stole my wallet on the way here."

Was your money bag stolen?

The wine shop owner's body that had been bowing straightened up now, and when he looked at Ren Jianbai, his eyes were full of complexity.

After looking Ren Jianbai up and down again, the shopkeeper's mouth showed a touch of ridicule, "Since the Juren Master said this, it is probably true, but I don't know if it is the Juren Master."

He was so rude and disrespectful, and he didn't have the gentleness or magnanimity that a scholar should have. He was full of calculations, and he didn't feel like he was a master of public education.

At this moment, he said that the money bag was stolen.

Since you knew your money bag had been stolen, why did you come to drink again?

Were you thinking about free food and drink from the beginning?

The shopkeeper frowned and said, "There is no such thing as a king's meal in Beijing. Is your guest going to do this alone today?"

"How could I, a dignified gentleman, do such a thing?" Ren Jianbai shouted, "Just wait for me for a moment, I will go back to the inn to get it!"

He also hid fifty taels of silver in the pillow of the room where he stayed at the inn.

"That's not possible. What if you run away?" The waiter in the shop was so angry just now. Now he straightened his back and felt a little proud. "I think, let's just go see the official."

Bar."

"Just in time, it can also let us know whether the person standing in front of us is really the Master of Juren."

The waiter felt that the person in front of him must not be the one, so he would be able to get him charged with counterfeiting, and he would be completely out of breath!
