When he came out of Li's house, it was about four or five o'clock in the afternoon. Zhu Ping'an went to his mentor's house again and took a look. There was still no one there. It seemed that his mentor would not be coming back in the short term.
The autumn air is crisp, but it is still very hot. Farmers in the fields are still working tirelessly and sweating profusely to ensure a good harvest this year. The yellow rice turns golden under the sunlight, allowing the sweaty farmers to hang it.
A bright smile.
The breeze blows, and golden waves roll up in the rice fields, sending the fragrance of rice into your nose.
Walking on the country road, Zhu Ping'an would say hello to his neighbors in the fields from time to time and compliment him on how well the crops were growing, which made these neighbors happy for a long time.
When I was about to get home, I saw my mother, Mrs. Chen, chatting with a group of aunties. My mother, Mrs. Chen, was talking to the aunties with beaming eyes. They all looked envious.
"Hey, her aunt, isn't that your Pingan Lang?" An aunt said to Mrs. Chen when she saw Zhu Pingan.
Then Chen turned around and saw Zhu Pingan, and then waved to Zhu Pingan to come over.
Zhu Ping'an walked over in two quick steps, called mother first, and then said hello to several aunties around him.
"Xie'er, please tell me again, what's the use of a junior like you? My mother can't remember it." Mrs. Chen's face was full of pride when she spoke.
My mother really enjoys it.
However, since his mother likes it, he must fully cooperate, so Zhu Ping'an described Lin Sheng's role and privileges in vernacular, and there were some slight exaggerations in it. But who asked his mother Chen
I just love listening to it.
"Shouyi family, you can wait and enjoy the blessings. Your Mr. Ping'an is so smart, he is destined to be a high official in the future." Aunts and aunts all expressed their envy of their mother, Chen, and praised Zhu Ping'an for his intelligence.
"He is not smart, he just works a little hard. Every time I get up to cook, I can see him reading and practicing calligraphy in the yard."
Mother Chen said this, but her brows were full of pride for her son.
In the past, my mother didn't like to chat with aunts very much, but these days, she always likes to hang out in the aunts' group, and no matter what they talk about, she can always change the topic to her second child, and then enjoy everyone's envy, jealousy, and hatred
, you can enjoy the whole day every time.
It was the same this time. After enjoying everyone's various envy, Mrs. Chen reluctantly went home with Zhu Pingan. On the way, the smile on her mother Chen's face never stopped, and her whole face was radiant, as if
As young as ten years.
When Zhu Ping'an and his mother returned home, there was no one at home. As usual, his father drove an ox cart back and forth between the town and the mountain village. His eldest brother went into the mountains to prepare for the flowing water feast three days later. His mother, Chen, began to prepare dinner.
, Zhu Pingan returned to the room and started copying the books from the Li family collection borrowed today.
Everything is in order and orderly.
The first one to come back was Zhu Pingchuan, the eldest brother who went into the mountains. The harvest this time seemed to be much bigger than usual. The basket on his back was full of things and he was carrying two fat rabbits in his hands.
Zhu's father came back immediately. After driving the carriage into the house, he took out the meat buns, fruits and other items he bought from the town.
The dinner was very warm, and I could feel the love of my family everywhere.
It's nice to be at home.
Zhu Ping'an couldn't help but sigh.
It's nice to be at home?
Not everyone holds a positive opinion. For example, Zhu Shouren, Zhu Ping'an's uncle, who was busy with travels but waited until dark before returning home, didn't think so. Home? How can home be compared to the prosperous Qinhuai River?
The Qinhuai River is better. Some people admire me for being charming and suave, but unlike now, I have to be secretive when I go home.
As for why he was sneaky, it was not because his nephew took the boy's examination for the first time. Who would have expected that he not only passed the county examination, government examination, and college examination smoothly, but also passed the very difficult government examination and the even more difficult college examination.
Won the first place in the exam, not only was admitted to be a scholar, but also became a case officer. As for myself, I was in bad luck and had a bad life. It was another year when I failed the exam. I had been studying for decades and passed the exam more than ten times, but I was passed by a
The fledgling boy got the upper hand.
There wasn't much outside, and the closer I got to the village, the more ashamed I felt, so I waited until it was dark when the black people couldn't see clearly before entering the village.
Alas, the ancestors protect their nephews but not their uncles.
Before the exam, I asked my fortune teller to tell my fortune. He said that our old Zhu family’s ancestors had blessed me, and I was 100% sure about it this time. Unexpectedly, I was robbed by my nephew. Another day, I asked a Feng Shui husband to check it out. I always felt that the second brother’s family was a little bit different.
It hinders your own home and suppresses your own destiny.
Uncle Zhu Shouren was thinking as he sneaked from the entrance of the village to the Zhu family's old house.
Fortunately, everyone was eating or resting at home at this time, and there was no one on the street in the village. This allowed uncle Zhu Shouren to walk to the Zhu family's old house smoothly.
Zhu Shouren stood in the Zhu family's old house for a long time, gathering his emotions, and then gently opened the door of the Zhu family's old house.
At this time, dinner had already been eaten at the Zhu family's old house, and Mr. Zhu was sitting in the yard enjoying the cool air under the starry sky. Mr. Zhu was happy and miserable these days. He was happy because his little grandson got the first place in the scholar examination.
The pain is because his eldest son failed again. In fact, what Mr. Zhu wants most is for his eldest son to go to high school. If he could make the decision, he would definitely transfer his grandson's fame to his eldest son. However, reality is reality.
Mr. Zhu was happy and in pain, feeling slightly disappointed in his eldest son.
Mr. Zhu also misses his eldest son very much. His grandson has been back for two days. Why hasn't his eldest son come back yet? Nothing happened on the way.
When Mr. Zhu was talking about his eldest son, he found that the door was pushed open and someone walked in.
The figure is somewhat familiar.
Before Mr. Zhu could take a closer look, he saw the figure walking over, yelling, and kneeling on the ground.
"Dad, my son is unfilial. He failed the exam again. Woo hoo hoo, my son is unfilial. He left home to prepare for the exam in early February. He got up in the morning to read and studied at night. He never stopped. County exams and government exams, my son does not need to
He took the exam, but his study never stopped. During this period, he gave Xie'er many pointers to help him pass the county and government exams smoothly. However, bad luck, and his son's health was not as good as he expected.
He fell ill during the hospital examination, and his son was worried that his health would not live up to expectations and that he would not be able to honor his ancestors, so he taught Xie'er carefully, and Xie'er did not disappoint his son. It was just that his son was unlucky. He was still seriously ill during the exam, so he fell short of his achievements. His son was unfilial.
ah."
The uncle knelt on the ground, hugging his grandfather's thigh, crying sadly.
It turns out that Xie'er was able to become a scholar thanks to the teachings of his eldest son. No wonder. The faint disappointment that my grandfather had just felt towards his uncle disappeared after hearing his sincere words.
"The pig has been back for two days, why did you come here?" Grandfather still had a question in his mind.
“In order to save money, my son walked for several days, day and night.”
The uncle held his grandfather's thigh, his nose burst into tears and he spoke very sincerely.
It’s not like traveling day and night. How long has it been since dark when the eldest son came in? Just to save money and reduce the burden on the family, the grandfather immediately believed what the eldest son said. Looking at the eldest son who came back at night, he almost burst into tears.
