Bab 317: Mr. Beggar

There were many small stories noted down in The Saint Divine Anecdotes. Gu Chaoyan picked one common story that told the experience of a Mr.Beggar.

Before Mr. Beggar became a beggar, he used to be the extraordinary Mr. Number One Scholar.

The story about Mr. Beggar was quite long, but Gu Chaoyan read each line calmly as Madame Jiang, who was seated on the chair, smiled every now and then, and drank some tea. Gu Chaoyan was very devoted to reading the story there under the ginkgo tree.

Even the maids next to them were attracted to the story.

Those maids could not read, and they never got the chance to read such books. Normally, their masters and ladies were all reading the academic classicals and none of them would tell small stories like this. For one moment, they got rather curious.

No one even noticed that Zhou Huaijin had arrived.
