After being crowned, Zhu Ping'an's life has basically not changed. His family members still call him "Purch" when he is long, and "Ping'an" when he is short. The villagers either call him Mr. Zhu or Ping'anlang. As for Zihou, in addition to his mentor and his wife, he also
No one else has called me.
I get up early to practice calligraphy, read in the morning, and read books. I practice during the day, study eight-part essays and policy theory, copy books at night, and go to Rich Man Li's house to return and borrow books every three days.
Just quietly reading and reviewing, waiting for accurate news from Enke in the county.
About a week after the crowning ceremony, the news of Enke had not yet arrived, but he encountered something unexpected.
Around evening, Zhu Ping'an was looking at the book he was copying in his hands in the yard under the last rays of the setting sun. His mother, Ms. Chen, had just entered the kitchen to prepare dinner.
At this time, I heard a knock on the door, accompanied by a scream like a slaughtering pig: "Brother Zhu, Brother Zhu, open the door quickly."
Zhu Ping'an, who was reading a book, laughed when he heard this. Damn, why is this guy here?
This voice sounded so familiar to me. No one else came except Xue Chi and Fatty Xue. By the way, shouldn't this guy be in Fengyang Mansion? Why did he come running here?
Mother Chen leaned out from the kitchen and asked, "She'er, why does it sound like I'm calling you?"
"Mom, she is a friend my son met when he was taking the college exam in Yingtian." Zhu Pingan explained, then got up and walked to the door, reaching out and opening the door.
Outside the gate, it was Fatty Xue Chi, who was in an extremely embarrassed state, breathing heavily and looking behind him in fear.
"Did that gust of wind bring you here?" Zhu Pingan looked at the embarrassed fat man and couldn't help but laugh.
The fat man looked behind him and found that the native dog chasing him was gone. Then he took a breath and turned to look at Zhu Pingan, with a fat face full of pride, "The wind that can blow the fat man has not yet emerged.
"
"Then why are you running so hard?" Zhu Pingan opened the door and asked the fat man to come in.
When the fat man heard Zhu Ping'an asked, he still had lingering fears. He patted his face and said with fear. "I have been afraid of dogs since I was a child. There are many dogs here, but the nursing home who came with me said that dogs are very powerful. You
Be more fierce. He is afraid of you and so on. What he said was very convincing, and I think it makes sense. So, I got off the carriage and specially found a dog in your village to try it. It turns out that if it hadn't been for me
If you run fast, my parents will have to give birth to the white-haired one to the black-haired one."
Damn it, nozuonodie!
Zhu Ping'an was speechless at the fat man's behavior.
"Where is your nursing home?" Zhu Pingan looked outside the door and found no nursing home, so he asked the fat man.
"I ran so fast just now that he lost me, but don't worry, he will find him soon." The fat man said carelessly, then entered the door, looked around the yard of Zhu Ping'an's house, and then extended his big finger to praise.
Tao. "There is still a way of life in the farmyard."
"How can it be compared to your deep house and compound?" Zhu Ping'an smiled slightly and replied nonchalantly.
"Everyone has his own merits," the fat man said, stroking his fat face.
At this time, the mother Chen who was in the kitchen also came out wearing an apron. She stood at the door of the kitchen and looked at the fat man and asked:
"You are She'er's friend, right?"
When the fat man saw Mrs. Chen, he immediately ran over and shouted in a familiar manner with a fat face: "Godmother, you are really discerning, you recognized me right away. I am Fengyang."
Xue Chi from the mansion, just call me Xiao Xue."
At this moment, Fatty was like a bulldog trying to please its owner.
Godmother?
You hit the snake and followed the stick. It crawled too fast.
"When we were taking the Yingtian exam, we were as close as brothers. Brother Zhu's mother is naturally my mother. My son Xue Chi has met his godmother." Fatty Xue Chi's fat face was full of sincerity. With a plop, he knelt down to Mrs. Chen.
On the ground.
Mother Chen was a little abrupt at first, but after a pause, she asked Fatty Xue to get up with a smile, "You kid, it's so cold on the ground, get up quickly."
"Oh. Why don't you say fuck me?" The fat man stood up and flattered her again.
Mother Chen narrowed her eyes with a smile. The fatter she got, the more satisfied she became. This child was chubby and looked good. He looked likeable.
Soon, the nursing home of Fatty's family, who came with Fatty, also came, driving a carriage.
The fat man went out and moved the gifts brought on the carriage with his nurse, and moved them to Zhu Pingan's house one by one.
"What are you doing?" Zhu Ping'an stopped the fat man and asked.
"This is a meeting gift for my godmother and godfather. Don't stop me, otherwise you will be unfilial." The fat man said, and like a diligent little bee, he moved back and forth to Wang Zhuping's house.
"Xiao Xue, my godmother will be unhappy if you act like this." Mother Chen came out of the kitchen and pretended to be angry.
"Godmother, don't be angry. These are all things my parents asked me to bring. They are not valuable things. They are just thoughts. Don't be angry." Fatty Xue Chi explained while putting the last wheel in the car.
Some things were moved to Zhu Ping'an's house.
Looking at the fat man Xue Chi in the yard and the things brought in by his nursing home, there is almost a dazzling array of things, everything from silk and satin cloth to fruit cakes and gifts for everyone in the Zhu family. It all adds up.
There are nearly sixty-seven taels of silver.
"You kid." Mrs. Chen scolded.
"I have to trouble my godmother these days, but I am shameless enough to come here to eat for a few days and try my godmother's craftsmanship."
The fat man grinned stupidly with his fat face.
"Live here, live there with all your heart, and treat this as your own home." Mother Chen said with a big wave of her hand.
After the fat man moved his things in his family's nursing home, he asked him to go back to the town to find a place to live, and then look for him when the fat man was about to go home.
When Zhu's father came back, the fat man called him "godfather" again, which made Father Zhu stunned. It was his mother Chen who told the whole story, and then Father Zhu rubbed his hands and smiled and told Fatty Xue Chi
You're welcome, don't worry.
Thanks to Zhu Ping's family renovating the house, there were still enough rooms. They packed up a room for the fat man to live in. Zhu's father and his eldest brother Zhu Pingchuan hurriedly made a bed, and his mother, Mrs. Chen, gave the fat man a new quilt to rest on.
.
In the evening, Mrs. Chen specially cooked several extra dishes, and the rice was simmered fragrantly, and she served the fat man a large bowl.
The fat man did not disappoint Mr. Chen. He opened his cheeks and ate a lot. The fat man, who was used to eating big fish and meat, thought the farm-style dishes were so delicious, especially Mr. Chen’s pickled cucumbers and rice porridge. It was simply delicious.
Delicious food on earth.
In the end, the fat man was very envious of Zhu Pingan for being able to eat such delicious food every time.
"Xie'er, you should learn more from Xiao Xue and eat more."
Mrs. Chen looked at the fat man's eating appearance, and the more she looked at it, the more satisfied she became. Look, this is called eating. Finally, she used the fat man to educate Zhu Ping'an. Her youngest son may have been reading a book recently, and he felt that he had lost weight. Mrs. Chen couldn't help but feel embarrassed.
I took two pieces of meat and put one piece into Fatty’s bowl and the other piece into Zhu Ping’an’s bowl. (To be continued.)
