Chapter 324 Nephew
"Congratulations to Mr. Zhu, who is ranked first in high school and has won the first prize in the Beijing News!"
When the messenger realized that he had sent the good news to the wrong person, he apologized and took the good news from the bewildered Mr. Zheng. He then passed through the crowd and came to Zhu Pingan and handed the good news to Zhu Pingan with both hands.
When the guard delivered the good news, the sun that was covered by thin clouds just broke away from the thin clouds and shed thousands of golden lights, which shone on Zhu Pingan as if shining a dazzling light on him. It was particularly dazzling and made Zhu Pingan Adds a special aura.
"Good work."
Zhu Pingan took the good news and thanked him softly. He put his right hand into his sleeve pocket habitually, preparing to take out some reward money. Then he realized that he only had two silver coins in his sleeve pocket. There were three servants who brought the good news, and he This is not enough to reward you.
Zhu Ping'an's actions were seen by Li Shu who was not far away. She turned her head with a smile and whispered instructions to the little maid Baozi on the side.
Then everyone heard a soft call, "Uncle, your money bag."
A little maid with steamed buns panted and trotted over. With her chubby little hands, she handed a money bag embroidered with a fat duck to Zhu Pingan.
This money bag relieved Zhu Pingan's urgent need. There was prepared silver in the money bag, from which Zhu Pingan took the reward and gave it to the three officers who announced the good news. The three officers accepted the reward from Zhu Pingan, said a few more compliments, and then left. They had to go back to recover, and there was a reward waiting for them on the street.
After the little maid Baozi handed over the purse, she held up her skirt and trotted around. This was the area where the male guests were, so she couldn't stay longer.
The little maid called "Uncle", which means that this little maid is the maid next to the fifth lady of the Hou Mansion.
The second-generation ancestors at Fatty Zhou's table subconsciously followed the direction in which the little maid Baozi turned, wanting to see what kind of person the fifth lady of the Hou Mansion who was engaged to the newly promoted Huiyuan was, and whether she was like them. It was as ugly as I thought at first.
When the good news was yet to come, when Zhu Ping'an was still the country bumpkin they laughed at, their guess about the fifth young lady of the Hou Mansion was that they would not even spare the country bumpkin. How ugly the fifth young lady of the Hou Mansion must be.
They followed Baozi's little maid and found the target they wanted to see. Then they were shocked:
There is a beauty ahead, peerless and independent. Take a look at the city of Qingren, and then look at the country of Qingren. Wouldn't you rather know the allure of the city and the allure of the country? Beautiful women are hard to come by! It turns out that the fifth young lady of the Hou Mansion is so beautiful. It turns out that Fatty Zhou said that she is prettier than Princess Anyang. It's true, not an exaggeration at all.
"My dear nephew, the imperial examination will be held in this month. Don't be too careless. It's a good rest these days. Just prepare for the exam at home." I don't know when Linhuai Marquis Li Tingzhu moved his fat body and came to Zhu. Next to Ping An, he patted Zhu Ping An on the shoulder and warned him earnestly.
In the eyes of outsiders, at this moment, Linhuai Marquis Li Tingzhu is an elder who cares about his younger generations, caring and kind, exuding the brilliance of an elder.
Nephew? !
Seeing the kind and caring gesture of Marquis Linhuai, Zhu Ping'an couldn't help but smile. He was really flattered by this title. He was really not used to being so enthusiastic.
"Thank you, Master Hou, for your teaching."
Zhu Pingan smiled slightly, bowed and replied.
The loud sound of firecrackers sounded again in the Linhuai Hou Mansion, and the Hou Mansion once again fell into a sea of celebration.
However, today's scene has subverted many people's perceptions.
After today, people will remember Zhu Ping'an, the fifth uncle of the Linhuai Marquis Mansion, as a handsome young man.
From then on, when the maids and servants of the Linhuai Marquis Mansion met Zhu Pingan, they all bowed and said hello, and said hello from the bottom of their hearts. The unsavory versions about Zhu Ping'an in the Hou family seemed to have disappeared overnight, and were replaced by positive versions, but most of them were associated with the fifth lady of the Hou family, with talents, beauties, good looks, and so on.
Anyway. Since then, Zhu Ping'an's status in the Hou Mansion has risen a lot and is no longer the same as before.
Of course, there are exceptions, such as a certain naughty kid, but it's still the same as usual. Looking at Zhu Ping'an with a fat face sideways, he was unhappy and had deep grievances.
In fact, the reason is very simple. During the days when Zhu Pingan was preparing for the exam in the Marquis Mansion, the naughty boy was also sent here and was thrown into Zhu Pingan's guest room by Linhuai Marquis every day. He also hopes that his children will become successful. The Marquis of Linhuai hopes that the naughty child can improve in his studies under the influence of Zhu Pingan.
Zhu Ping'an was blackmailed by Zhang Siwei and Wang Shizhen into having a meal and going out for a day of fun the day after the results were released. In the next few days, Zhu Ping'an spent the next few days in the Hou Mansion organizing and preparing strategies.
Naturally, Zhu Pingan also teased the naughty kid from time to time during his reading time and performed his supervisory duties. The lazy tricks that the naughty kid had tried so well in the past no longer worked with Zhu Pingan, and he could always tease the naughty kid into a bullfight. Baring teeth and cracking mouth like a dog. But the effect is still very satisfactory, except that the level of the naughty child's endorsement has improved a lot, and the font has also made great progress under Zhu Pingan's ravage.
After breakfast early this morning, the naughty boy was once again sent to Zhu Pingan's guest room to read.
The naughty kid was very lazy and had no idea about reading. After being assigned to Zhu Ping'an, he only read the book for less than three minutes and then threw the book aside and became idle. He had a chubby face and a standard naughty childlike manner.
While Zhu Pingan was reading, he caught a glimpse of the naughty kid's virtues, and asked the naughty kid to read.
"Do you know what books are made of?" The naughty kid asked with his hands folded and his fat face squinting at Zhu Pingan.
"The book is made of paper, what's wrong?" Zhu Ping'an replied cooperatively with a smile on his face, wanting to see what other ways the naughty boy wanted to be lazy today.
"Oh, it's made of paper. I seem to be allergic to paper and I get a headache every time I read." The naughty kid said seriously.
Allergic to paper, well, you name it. Naughty kid, come here and I promise not to beat the crap out of you.
The naughty boy looked at Zhu Ping'an with a provocative and confident face. Because according to the past, every time the naughty kid said this sentence, it always worked, either to make the master angry or to achieve what he wanted. Anyway, he didn't have to read the book anymore.
However, this time is an exception.
"Oh, you're allergic to paper."
Zhu Pingan nodded when he heard this, looked at the naughty child and said something.
The naughty kid nodded vigorously with a fat face, thinking that this country bumpkin brother-in-law might not be able to do anything to him.
Then the next second, the naughty child's heart was broken.
"Oh, you're allergic to paper. That's great. I've never seen anyone allergic to paper. Come and have a look if you're allergic." Zhu Ping'an suddenly looked at the naughty kid with a look of disgust and smiled. road.
Resistance to the country bumpkin brother-in-law failed again!
The naughty boy gritted his teeth and glanced at Zhu Ping'an, accepted his fate, picked up the book on the table, and started reading.
Thanks to the new leader of this book, Emperor Zonghe, for the reward. Thank you very much. There was also a reward from the leader yesterday. I will take the time to update it. Thank you all for your support, thank you very much.
