What is a middle-class young person? It is someone who is extremely self-righteous and does not know what giving up is. +,
The third son of the Li family was only depressed for a moment about the defeat, and then he continued to compete with Zhu Pingan with high spirits, throwing out problems one by one that he thought were very rare to embarrass Zhu Pingan.
For example, word puzzles: "Go to the upper head and go to the lower head, and go from the lower head to the upper head. Go to the middle from the two ends, and go to the two ends in the middle."
Zhu Ping'an had seen these crossword puzzles on the Internet a long time ago, so he could give the answers without even thinking.
"It's 'Zhi', because the top of 'Zhi' is the bottom of 'Go', and the bottom of 'Zhi' is the top of 'Go'. The middle of 'Zhi' is the two ends of 'Go', and the two ends of 'Zhi' are '
The two ends of 'go', the two ends of 'to' are the middle of 'go'." Zhu Ping'an also pretended to think for a moment before giving the answer calmly and explaining the answer again.
However, this was so beyond the expectations of the third son of the Li family that the third son of the Li family racked his brains and came up with several questions to embarrass Zhu Pingan, but unfortunately, none of the questions could stump Zhu Pingan.
In the end, the third child of the Li family had no choice but to come up with an almost rogue question: "If you jump into a big pit, it is very deep, and there is no one in it. The walls of the pit are very slippery and very strong, and you can't scratch it with your hands."
It's impossible to climb up with bare hands, but you don't have any tools, ropes, knives, or anything else. There's no one outside the pit, and there's nothing inside the pit, what should you do?"
The third son of the Li family eliminated all the conceivable advantages, and after finishing speaking, he looked at Zhu Ping'an with great satisfaction.
"Can I swim?" Zhu Pingan asked calmly.
"There is no water in the pit, as I just said. There is nothing in the pit." The third son of the Li family emphasized again.
"I can cut a hole in my head with my hands and let the water flow out. Then I can swim and float out of the pit." Zhu Pingan said seriously.
The third son of the Li family shook his head like a rattle. "How can there be so much water in his head!"
"There's no water in my head, why should I jump?" Zhu Ping'an glanced at the third son of the Li family and said calmly.
The third child of the Li family
In the end, it was the sinister girl Li Shu who used the name of Rich Man Li to drive the third son of the Li family out of the study.
"Thank you, Miss Li, for rescuing the situation." Zhu Pingan thanked the sinister girl with his hands. If she hadn't kicked her brother out of the study, he would have come up with some weird things to embarrass himself.
"Narcissism, who can help you out? I'm just afraid that my third brother will be angry and destroy my book, huh." The sinister girl looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle. At the end, she snorted arrogantly.
She is really a problem girl.
I borrowed two more books from the Li family. Because Enke was approaching, I put aside the idea of reading miscellaneous books. The two books I borrowed this time were both related to the provincial examination. To be precise, one was a policy theory and the other was a book.
Eight-legged stock.
Everyone in the family is excited about the news about Enke. Whether Zhu Pingan can pass the exam is not their concern. Anyway, they are excited about Enke.
Early the next morning, Zhu Ping'an wore the clothes made by his wife and walked from home to his mentor's house in Shanghe Village.
The clothes made by my wife fit me very well. The clothes were made of Zi cloth and were trimmed with vermilion. They were wide and easy to move around. The four-pant shirt had no belt. There were several belts on the sides, but they were fastened.
The teacher’s wife also made a pair of shoes. The standard name for shoes is Cai Lu. They are colorful shoes. The shoes on Zhu Pingan’s feet are red-edged shoes. They are a bit like embroidered shoes, but without embroidery. They feel weird.
The villagers I met on the road looked at Zhu Pingan with a strange look when they greeted him, and they were very puzzled. Zhu Pingan explained that he was dressed like this because he was going to his wife's house for a crowning ceremony.
Crowning ceremony?
The villagers don't understand what is the difference between a crowning ceremony and a crowning ceremony. People in our village don't pay attention to this. Most of the villagers feel this way. It's no wonder that Old Master Sun wants to go to his home to crown him.
Old Master Sun's house remained open at night as usual, and the door was not closed at all. Zhu Pingan walked straight in.
"Good morning, my dear teacher." Zhu Ping'an looked at Old Master Sun as he entered the door, and bowed from a distance.
"Well, not bad." Old Master Sun was clearing away the tables and chairs in the yard, arranging tables, chairs, wine glasses, hats, turbans, etc. When he saw Zhu Ping'an coming over early in the morning, he nodded with satisfaction.
Zhu Ping'an wanted to step forward to help, but was pulled into the room by the teacher's wife who came out after hearing the sound. Without any explanation, she changed Zhu Pingan's hairstyle, uh, a very shameful corner style, and the teacher's wife painted two hairdos on both sides of his forehead.
The bun is in the shape of a ring, and the wife also ties it with a vermilion brocade ribbon to form a "璒".
While the wife was changing Zhu Ping'an's hair style, guests came to Old Master Sun's house. They were all old friends of Mr. Sun, including the two students who had been Paul's guarantors when Zhu Ping'an was taking the college entrance examination. About seven or eight people came.
, bringing pens, inks, paper, inkstones, etc. as congratulatory gifts for Zhu Ping's crowning ceremony.
They were all invited by Master Sun to watch the ceremony.
Zhu Pingan was called to the gate by Old Master Sun, facing east to greet Old Master Sun's friend. Old Master Sun greeted his friend with a smile, and Zhu Pingan greeted him with a long bow. Old Master Sun's friend looked at Zhu Pingan and nodded with satisfaction.
Then he exchanged greetings with Old Master Sun at the door, and then followed Old Master Sun into the courtyard.
The mistress brewed a pot of tea and placed it on the table outside the yard with the teacup, then turned and returned to the room. Zhu Pingan picked up the teapot, poured tea one cup at a time, and placed it on the table.
Old Master Sun's friend entered the courtyard, washed his hands in the basin, and then sat down to watch the ceremony.
Zhu Pingan's crowning ceremony officially began.
"If a certain student, Zhu Ping'an, the son of Zhu Shouyi from Xiahe Village, grows up, I will crown him as his head today. I would like to..." Old Master Sun bowed his hands to the friends who were watching the ceremony and said.
"Praise." Old Master Sun's friend nodded in praise.
Then, Old Master Sun took the headscarf from the table, walked to Zhu Pingan, and exhorted with a serious face: "On the day of the auspicious month, we will start to add Yuanfu, abandon your young ambitions, be obedient and become virtuous, and live long and prosperous."
, to introduce Bi Fu."
"Thank you so much, mentor." Zhu Pingan knelt down to thank his mentor.
Master Sun took advantage of the situation and put the scarf on Zhu Pingan's head, and then said to Zhu Pingan in a warm voice, "Go to the room and look for your wife."
Zhu Pingan nodded, stood up, bowed his hands to the people watching on one side, and walked into the room.
"Come here, go to the bedroom and put on these clothes." The wife smiled kindly and put a bag of clothes in Zhu Pingan's hand.
"Thank you, Master." Zhu Pingan took it and expressed his gratitude to Master with a smile.
"Silly boy, why are you being polite to the teacher's wife?" The teacher's wife smiled and urged Zhu Ping'an to go to the bedroom to change clothes.
The crowning ceremony was relatively trivial, and the clothes needed to be changed. When he walked to the bedroom, Zhu Pingan took a look at the clothes given by his wife. It was a dark suit with a brocade belt and a pair of black cloth shoes. Zhu Pingan then
Take off the four-pants shirt you are wearing and put on the clothes given by your wife.
After changing his clothes and thanking his wife, Zhu Pingan walked into the courtyard again.
Old Master Sun asked Zhu Pingan to stand in the courtyard for a while before starting the next process. After Zhu Pingan stood for a while, Old Master Sun took another hat from the table, walked to Zhu Pingan, and encouraged him again.
: "On the day of the auspicious month, you will be well-dressed, dignified with dignity, and virtuous. May your eyebrows be long and live long, and enjoy good fortune."
Zhu Pingan knelt down to thank his teacher. Master Sun put a hat on Zhu Pingan, and then asked Zhu Pingan to look for his teacher's wife in the reception room.
Guan Li was so troublesome, Zhu Pingan muttered in his heart.
However, I still obeyed the teacher's orders and walked to the room again. (To be continued...)
