If you don’t show off as a person, what’s the difference between you and a salted fish?
Mr. Zheng interpreted this sentence with his actions. After the poetry meeting, Mr. Zheng seemed to be addicted. When he had something to do, he would hang out in Zhu Pingan's courtyard. In front of Zhu Pingan, he became very inspired by poetry. He wrote a poem and composed a couplet.
, even once deigned to teach Zhu Pingan how to do eight-legged exercises.
The fact that Zhu Pingan was ashamed of himself at the Poetry Society was also spread throughout the Linhuai Marquis Mansion under the intention of Mr. Zheng. As a result, the Linhuai Marquis Mansion had many more versions about Zhu Pingan, and even one more
The title of mediocre uncle.
In this regard, Zhu Ping'an seemed to be fine. He should be reading and practicing calligraphy. His life was no different from usual.
However, some people can't stand it. For example, when the little maid Baozi came to deliver a change of clothes to Zhu Ping'an, she said a lot of things with a puffy face. Generally speaking, it means that Mr. Zheng is incapable of doing anything in literature and martial arts.
When Pan An was alive, he pretended to be a romantic and talented man with a fan, and he was so shameless. There were many people in the house who were gossiping and saying bad things about my uncle. Why don’t you write a poem and blind their eyes?
"If you were bitten by a dog while walking on the road, would you bite the dog?" Zhu Pingan asked with the corners of his lips curled up after the little maid Baozi finished speaking.
"No way, I'm not a dog." When the little maid Baozi heard this, she made a dissatisfied expression on her bulging face and said angrily.
"Then it's the same for me." Zhu Pingan smiled slightly.
"But, there are many people in the house saying bad things about my uncle. It's no use saying that he is a soft-boiled man." The little maid Baozi thought for a while, then pouted her lips, filled with indignation, as if those people were talking about her.
"When water is low, it becomes the sea, and when people are low, they become kings." Zhu Pingan said softly and nonchalantly.
The little maid Baozi thought for a while after hearing this, and then thought for a long time, and finally shook her head and said two words, "I don't understand."
After finishing speaking, the little maid Baozi looked at Zhu Pingan with an innocent face, waiting for Zhu Pingan to explain to her.
"Okay, to put it simply, I can blind them without showing off." Zhu Pingan rubbed his forehead.
Little Maid Baozi understood this sentence. Her eyes suddenly lit up. Although she had never heard of pretentiousness or anything like that before, there were also some embarrassing words like bragging. As for blinding their dogs.
It’s easier to understand. Anyway, in a few days, my uncle will ask those people to look good.
The little maid of Baozi folded and put away the clothes that Zhu Pingan had changed, and took them to the backyard for washing later. After folding the clothes, the little maid of Baozi tidied and cleaned the room again, although Zhu Pingan also paid attention to hygiene.
, but after all, she is not as particular as the little maid Baozi, and this is her profession.
Looking at the bright and clean windows and the neat and tidy guest room, the little maid Baozi patted the chubby hand with satisfaction, her eyes curled like crescent moons.
Zhu Ping'an's unstinting thanks made Baozi's little maid's eyes look more like crescent moons.
When the little maid Baozi left with her clothes, Zhu Pingan put the money bag from last time on the clothes and asked the little maid Baozi to hand it over to Li Shu.
This money bag looks like my daughter's money bag. The money bag is made of fine silk, imbued with a light fragrance. There is also embroidery on the money bag, but the embroidery is a bit weird. Usually it is embroidered with mandarin ducks or something like that.
, this money bag is embroidered with two fat ducks with anthuriums stirring the waves!
It can only be said that Li Shu’s hobbies are very unique, because this purse was brought by Zhu Pingan when he went out with Zhang Siwei and Wang Shizhen last time. Li Shu asked the little maid Baozi to bring it, and it must be Li Shu’s. Just when the little maid Baozi returned to the backyard, Zhu Pingan
Ping An then returned the money and purse to Li Shu through the little maid Baozi.
When the little maid Baozi returned to the backyard with her clothes and money bag, Li Shu was practicing embroidery in her room. There was an embroidery sample on the table. The embroidery sample showed a pair of mandarin ducks playing in the water, but it was a semi-finished product embroidered by Li Shu.
, but it was a fat duck paddling, and the other fat duck was also half embroidered.
Embroidery, also a type of female embroidery, is an important way of "guidance education" for girls in the Ming Dynasty Poetry and Etiquette House. In the early years, Rich Man Li originally spent a lot of money to hire an embroiderer from the Gu family, which was famous for embroidery.
Mom, it's just that Li Shu has no patience for pinching needles and threads. Rich Man Li also feels sorry for her. Rather than embarrass Shu'er, he might as well buy her more embroidery girls in the future. Therefore, Li Shu learns embroidery.
It's settled.
Li Shu only started to learn embroidery recently. In the eyes of the little maid Baozi, it was just the whim of the young lady. So far, Li Shu has only completed one and a half works, one is a money bag, and the other half is
The unfinished insole in my hand is a bit big, so it is definitely not what my daughter would wear.
"Miss, this insole is a bit big." After the little maid Baozi entered the door, she looked at the insole in her lady's hand and said with her mouth slightly open.
Li Shu raised her head and glanced at the little maid Baozi, put down her needle and thread, stretched her sore wrist, and said casually: "Oh, I just started learning embroidery. If I don't do it well, it's a waste if I throw it away. It's better to buy cheap embroidery."
Where’s Ping An’s stinky toad?”
Oh, it turns out that the young lady was using her uncle's skills to practice her skills. If the embroidery was not good, she gave it to him. The little maid Baozi believed the young lady's words.
"Miss, this is what my uncle is here for."
After the little maid Baozi poured a glass of water for her young lady, she gave Li Shu the purse handed over by Zhu Ping'an.
After Li Shu saw the purse handed over by the little maid Baozi, her expression suddenly turned bad, and her watery eyes were filled with mist, as if she was very angry.
"Uncle, thank you very much for your lady's rescue last time. This time you asked me to pay back the money." The little maid Baozi said without seeing the change in her lady's expression.
"He said he wanted to pay back the money?" Li Shu looked much better after hearing this.
"Yeah." The little maid Baozi nodded when she heard this.
"Put the money away and give him the wallet next time when I give him a change of clothes. If the embroidery is not good, it will be a waste if it is thrown away. It is not as good as Zhu Ping'an's stinky toad." Li Shu said again.
When he spoke, his expression had returned to normal.
"Yes, okay, miss." The little maid Baozi nodded repeatedly.
The little maid in Baozi was serving tea and water in the room. During the break, she went outside and handed Zhu Ping'an's clothes to the little girl in charge of cleaning. She listened to the maid in the next courtyard chatting for a while, and then trotted all the way.
Went back to the room.
"Miss, I heard from Qin'er in the next courtyard that the grandma's nephew is pretending to be smart with a fan. He is obviously not good at all, but he still shows off. The third lady and the others are laughing behind his back. I heard that the grandma's nephew is pretending to be smart.
My nephew's father is a very powerful official, why is his son like this?" the little maid Baozi said with her lips puffed up in front of Li Shu.
"If this were not the case, why would the eldest aunt not introduce it to me? This was carefully chosen by the eldest aunt." Li Shu sneered, her mouth full of sarcasm.
"How good is Grandma?" Baozi's little maid puffed her mouth. (To be continued.)
