Chapter 2: Tavern Gossip 2

At this time, the middle-aged man walked into these people. Old Zhang saw someone approaching and looked up. Seeing that this middle-aged man is extraordinary. Although he only wears an ordinary blue-gray gown with a white cotton-padded coat inside, his temperament is extraordinary.

Old Zhang looked at the people in a staring way, and the people beside him also noticed the middle-aged people and looked at him one after another.

At this time, the middle-aged man opened his mouth and bowed with his hands in his fists, "All brothers and brothers are sitting on the side, listening to each other very happily, and I am also interested in listening, so I am also joining in the fun!" It turned out that this middle-aged man came to join in the fun!

The 60-year-old man looked at the middle-aged man and kept looking at him, staring straight at him. Where did he seem to have seen this man? This middle-aged man is elegant and extraordinary. At first sight, he is full of poetry and books, but he is not as weak as ordinary scholars. Seeing that the middle-aged man has broad shoulders, although he is not a brave man, he is also a vigorous man. His arms are also powerful when swinging. His temperament and a strong body make him look more and more bold. In particular, a pair of sword eyebrows shows his superhuman insight. A pair of bright eyes come out with charm. The old man was a little stunned.

At this time, Laohan Zhang next to him recognized him first, "You? Aren't you Wang Shouren, Lord Wang?"

The words are shocking.

Wang Shouren! Everyone was shocked. Unexpectedly, Wang Shouren, who liked to gather with ordinary people in the streets, alleys, fields, and villages, actually appeared with them today. Old man Zhang happened to see Lord Wang go out before, so he got a little impression and recognized him today.

Wang Shouren saw that they recognized him, but he didn't care at all. He smiled and arched his hand and said, "It's right here, brothers..." Wang Shouren arched his hand to the young man. The latter was still surprised and did not react. Instead, Mr. Zhang secretly pushed him with his elbow, and then he returned. When he came to his senses, he also arched his hands.

"It's natural for me to be younger than all the elder brothers, so let's get close and call everyone a brother." Wang Shouren said with a smile, "I just heard all the brothers gossiping about auspicious things. I've heard some of it before. I don't know if this auspiciousness is true?"

"Oh, Lord Wang, you praised us so much, haha, you really killed us." The 60-year-old man said.

"Alas! These polite words don't need to be used on my younger brother. It's okay for everyone to talk about it. Wang Shouren hurriedly persuaded.

"Well, this, if you want to ask about this auspicious thing?" The 60-year-old man frowned slightly and was thinking about the question just now.

At this time, Laohan Zhang said, "There are a lot of rumors now, so it's naturally true."

"Oh, but you haven't seen it!" The young man suddenly interrupted. That's what Lao Zhang's head heard from others say, and it's a rumor! That's right, this word." After he finished speaking, he looked at Wang Shouren and looked forward to it.

"Haha, that's the word. It's right." Wang Shouren also said with a smile, turned to another person and asked, "Brother, have you also heard about auspicious things?"

"Hey! Yes, like an old man, I have never seen any auspicious! I have heard from others. Hey! Don't listen to that boy's bullshit." Old Zhang pointed to the young man.

Haha, everyone laughed again.

"Come on, Wang... If you don't mind, then have a glass of our water bar." A middle-aged man who seemed to be about the same age as Wang Shouren poured a bowl of wine and handed it to Wang Shouren. A pair of dark hands shows the hard work of life, but the simpleness on his face still shows his love for life.

"Thank you, little brother." Wang Shouren was also polite, but he took a big sip of the wine bowl. Put down the wine bowl and squeezed your mouth. There is no shelf at all.

"So, I have heard what others have said, and I haven't really seen it."

"Yes, we have never seen it. I think you want to ask if we believe these things?

"Oh, we also heard from others. It's just for fun. Is it true or false? What does it have to do with us?" At this time, the middle-aged man said, "However, if Xiangrui can really make us full, it must be true." The middle-aged man thought about it and said so.

"Oh! So that's what you think?" Wang Shouren also seems to be interested. I don't know what my brother makes a living?"

"Hi! I'm a carpenter doing carpentry. What's worth saying? The middle-aged man said that and laughed.

"I'm carrying a big one on the wharf on the south side of the river!" The seemingly talkative young man interrupted again at this time.

"Haha, it turns out that this brother did this!" Wang Shouren didn't mean to dislike it at all and joked with the young man.

"Well, all the brothers are modest. There is nothing high or low in this industry. As long as you work diligently, isn't there anything wrong?" Wang Shouren said with a smile.

"Oh! I was a little embarrassed just now!" The young man said so.

"Isn't there a saying?" Say 360 lines, and the line will be the champion.' Hey, let's do our own, carpenter and carpenter, and carry the big one!" Wang Shouren said so.

"So, we can also be the champion?" Old man Zhang asked.

"Of course, nothing is impossible. The champion is not limited to studying as an official. Besides, when reading the book of sages, there are also many people who do scum. Wang Shouren suddenly said this. Therefore, people who read a lot are not necessarily right. People who have not read books or even illiterate are wrong.

"Oh! Listen, this is Lord Wang praising us?" The middle-aged man said with a smile, very happy.

"Haha, I'm not praising you, that's the truth." Wang Shouren also said modestly with a smile. The saint also said: 'There is a sequence of experience, and there is a specialty in the art industry.' Even if some people don't read much, they may not be unreasonable. On the contrary, some people who have read sages all their lives are unreasonable!" Moreover, older people have more experience and naturally have more experience. Some people are engaged in different careers, so they have different understandings. For example: Maybe brother..." Wang Shouren arched his hand to the middle-aged carpenter, "This brother is a carpenter. Although he has not read books, his literacy is naturally not as good as those who have read books, but those who are full of sages will not do carpentry!"

As soon as this word came out, everyone else was happy. They laughed one after another, and the middle-aged man kept laughing and his face turned a little red.

"Oh, so, you know a lot of work that readers don't know!" Old man Zhang ridiculed him.

Wang Shouren continued to talk, "It's better to believe in a book than to have no books. Naturally, you can't read it. But now many so-called readers are 'who have not heard anything outside the window for ten years and only read the books of sages.' Family and state affairs are unknown, which is naturally not as good as the people present.

"Yes! We also know Xiangrui!" The young man said that he didn't pay attention to the elbow of the old man beside him.

"Therefore, there is nothing to be ashamed of the people present." Wang Shouren seems to have made a concluding speech in the end. In life, everyone has their own way of exercising, and they can't say how a person is because of their status. I just talked to everyone, and I found that you are all people with ideas and knowledge.

"What, I don't have a few words, and I'm also knowledgeable?" The young man asked again.

"Yes, yes!" People around me have the same problem.

"Of course, this brother, aren't you carrying a big man at the river dock?" Wang Shouren asked this, and after being confirmed, he answered everyone's questions.

"To talk about reading and literacy, we should talk about reciting the words and deeds of saints. Brother, you are not as good as yourself. But can you become a person without knowledge just by this? It's not like that." Wang Shouren immediately denied his own questions.

"If a person reads a lot, then he does have knowledge, but it is a big mistake to conclude that a person has no knowledge without reading a few words." Wang Shouren continued to answer his questions. Just talk about this brother. Since you are carrying a big one at the dock, you naturally know clearly how to resist the goods on the cargo ship, how to pick up the goods from the cargo ship is the most time-saving, and how to put things down the fastest. In this way, you can resist a few more goods every day than the day before, and you will earn more money for a few goods. Isn't this person a kind of knowledge?"

"Oh!? Is this also a kind of knowledge? Obviously, the young man did not turn around and didn't seem to understand Wang Shouren's words.

"Of course, Sage's book does not teach how to carry goods, but we can't say that this industry is useless. The absence of writing in the book does not mean that it is useless at this time. That's a matter of books, not people. Wang Shouren said this, as if he was getting more and more excited.

"Oh!? Wait a minute, I'm a little confused." The young man said hurriedly.

"Well, let me make an example." Wang Shouren smiled and seemed to be interested in this young man with a slow mind. If you compare reading with a scholar, you are naturally not as good as him, but if you are bigger than him on the dock, he is naturally not as good as you. On the one hand, you are not as good as him, and on the other hand, he is not as good as you. Since he is learned, how much do you have? So, little brother, do you understand?" Wang Shouren finally asked this.

"Oh! So that's it. Hey, Wang...Brother, what you just said, 'There is a sequence of news, and there is a specialty in the art industry.' Is that what you are talking about?"

"Yes! Brother, you are very understanding and right. Wang Shouren praised. When he was young, he became popular for a while, and the people next to him became strange.

"This is the different professions you are engaged in. It is considered to be different. Naturally, it is unreasonable for you to determine a person's status compared with different professions. Therefore, as long as you have a 'specialization' in your own profession, he is a learned person."
