Zhu Pingan will naturally not take the naughty child's words to heart. Besides, if Li Shu is to marry her aunt's family as the naughty child said, I'm afraid she would be eager to do so. But now she has to wait for Li Shu to propose breaking off the engagement.
Just fine.
However, the virtuous behavior of naughty children still needs education and education. After all, a small tree will not grow straight if it is not repaired, and a tree will not grow straight if people do not repair it.
Of course, there is no rush.
Fatty Zhou was originally going to eat at the table of the old lady of the Hou Mansion, but because there was an outsider like Zhu Pingan, the old lady of the Hou Mansion still asked Fatty Zhou to eat at Zhu Pingan's table. After all, "for seven years, men and women
"Sit at different seats and eat from different utensils." You still have to be careful in front of outsiders.
"Who is this sister?" Fatty Zhou came to Zhu Ping'an's table and discovered Li Shu.
"This is from your third uncle's house, Zicuckoo. Go and put some of these dishes on the table. My monkeys like to eat them." The old lady of the Hou Mansion just introduced it casually, and then stopped.
The big girl next to her asked her to take portions of Fatty Zhou's favorite dishes on their table.
It seems that Li Shu is not taken seriously by the old lady in this Marquis Mansion.
"Oh, it turns out it's sister Shu'er. Well, we haven't seen each other for a few years, and sister Shu'er has become more and more prominent." Fatty Zhou touched his chin and looked at Li Shu up and down with his small eyes.
"Hello, Brother Yanzhou." Li Shu smiled on her face, but she didn't have any good impressions of this cousin in her heart.
Fatty Zhou, whose full name is Li Yanzhou, is the legitimate son of Li Tingzhu, the eldest son of the Hou Mansion. He is 18 this year and has already been engaged. The person he is betrothed to is the third young lady of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, who is the legitimate daughter of the second wife of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion.
Soon, Zijuan directed the little maid to divide the food and arrange it again. She walked to the old lady and replied.
"Well, okay, my monkey is really hungry for this exam. Come and take a seat."
After hearing Zicuckoo's reply, the old lady had arranged the food, so she waved her hand and ordered the meal to be served.
He is indeed his grandson. When Fatty Zhou arrived, eight more dishes were added to the table, including shark's fin, bird's nest, etc.
In addition to having a lot of food, this house is also very grand. For example, when each of them has a meal, there are maids and servants to wait on them. In addition, there are maids who are dedicated to whisking dust, rinsing bowls, and handkerchiefs. When the master is in need
When the time comes, I send it to you thoughtfully.
Of course, Zhu Ping'an doesn't have it.
There was a lot of food, and Zhu Ping'an was not polite. During those days in the examination hall, he was not able to eat well, was not full, and felt nauseated because of his bad reputation. So now that there is such a rich delicacy, Zhu Ping'an is not polite.
The sixth lady of the Hou Mansion glanced at Zhu Pingan during her meal, and then she despised Zhu Pingan. He was really a country bumpkin. It seemed as if he had never eaten. Although he was not ugly, he ate too much. He was really a country bumpkin.
!
"How many days have you not eaten?" Fatty Zhou, who was sitting across from him, looked at Zhu Pingan's appetite with disdain on his face.
"It's been nine days and seven nights, and I haven't eaten much." Zhu Pingan put down his chopsticks, swallowed the crystal elbow in his mouth, and replied.
"Nine days and seven nights? What did you do? It's still nine days and seven nights." Fatty Zhou narrowed his eyes and asked with some disdain.
This country bumpkin turned out to be seven days and nine nights. It was the same as the exam he was taking, but he was taking the exam. I don’t know what this country bumpkin did, but it was seven days and nine nights. The same time. Why do you feel so downgraded?
Woolen cloth.
Fatty Zhou narrowed his eyes and was so disdainful of Zhu Pingan. He was even ashamed that he and Zhu Pingan had the same nine days and seven nights.
"The scene of Brother Li kissing me in front of the Gongyuan Gate still vaguely echoes in my mind."
Zhu Pingan picked up a cup of tea, took a sip, and thought about it for a moment, then looked at Fatty Zhou opposite and replied with a faint smile.
In front of Gongyuan Gate? Kissed?
"Have you also participated in the meeting?" Fatty Zhou asked in surprise, his voice was a little loud because he was so surprised.
Did you also take part in the exam?
This sentence was loud and abrupt, and it was difficult not to pay attention to it, so everyone at the table next door to the old lady of the Hou Mansion heard it clearly. I heard Fatty Zhou say that the bumpkin also participated in the exam, and the old man of the Hou Mansion
Everyone at the table was surprised. They thought that Zhu Ping'an was just a poor scholar from the countryside, but they didn't expect that he was actually a candidate for the examination. He didn't look very young at that time, but he was already a candidate for the examination. With his
Judging from the conditions, it would definitely not be an Imperial College like Fatty Zhou, whose family had to provide money and find connections to donate to the Imperial College. He could only take the exam himself. Unexpectedly, this bumpkin was actually an imperial examiner.
In fact, when the rich man Li sent someone to say that Li Shu was engaged, the person made it clear. He said that the person Li Shu was engaged to was a farmer in the countryside. He had just passed the scholar examination this year, and then passed the judicial examination. Just because
The eldest lady of the Hou Mansion was about to tell Li Shu about her natal son. When she heard the news that Li Shu was engaged, she was very angry. When she was angry, she did not take the next exam in mind. She just remembered that the villagers would have passed the exam this year.
I just passed the scholar examination.
After hearing Fatty Zhou's words, Li Shu twitched the corners of her lips slightly. She had no appetite at first, but when she looked at the cup of bird's nest porridge in front of her, her appetite suddenly increased. With her slender hands, she lightly grabbed the end of the spoon and slowly
Wan'er picked up the delicate bowl and drank only half a tablespoon of the soup in one gulp without making any sound. Then she dipped her lips with a handkerchief and showed a slight smile, seemingly satisfied with the bird's nest porridge.
"Well, when we were queuing, it was not far behind Brother Li." Zhu Pingan nodded.
"So how did you do in the exam?" After hearing that Zhu Pingan also participated in the examination, Fatty Zhou had a slightly higher opinion of Zhu Pingan, at least the disdain in his narrowed eyes was not so strong.
"During the exam, I was assigned to a bad number." Zhu Ping'an did not directly answer Fatty Zhou's question.
"Hahaha, then you are miserable. How can you continue to write in a stinky number? It has been hundreds of years. Those who have been assigned to the stinky number exam have not yet passed the exam. In that kind of environment, people are almost stink to death, so how can you answer
Come up with the question. Hahaha." Fatty Zhou pointed at Zhu Ping'an and laughed gloatingly. He couldn't even find his eyes when he was laughing, and his disdainful eyes became a little thicker.
It turns out that I got the bad number, so don’t count on this Enke exam. It has been hundreds of years, and I haven’t heard of anyone who got the bad number in the exam.
All the female relatives at the table of the old lady of the Hou Mansion looked at Zhu Ping'an with a little more disdain. This unfortunate bumpkin, look at his luck, don't expect to try anything in the future. This bumpkin is just a man who can lift people.
How about it? If you don’t have money or power, just wait in line for the rest of your life. A small official is not even a hair in this capital. When a brick is dropped, 10% of the people who will be hit are officials. His small official
What kind of!
In response to Fatty Zhou's ridicule, Zhu Pingan just smiled lightly and continued to eat.
You can still eat it! You are a country bumpkin, you have thick skin!
Miss Li from the Hou Mansion pouted her lips and rolled her eyes at Zhu Pingan, who was eating as if nothing had happened. (To be continued)
