Chapter 341: If I am well, you will have a spare tire until old age
The night was as thick as ink, pitch black, and not a single light was visible; the streets were silent, the breeze blew gently, and the sound of falling fog could be heard.
Gradually, a sound of footsteps came from the silent street, shattering the silence of the alleyway. Then the light of torches was seen, and then a four-person sedan slowly appeared that was so wobbly that it could make people vomit.
Zhu Ping'an, who was sitting in the sedan, could no longer complain. Let's not talk about the trivial matters at the banquet, nor about returning home in the middle of the night. Damn, the sedan was shaking like a car. Can anyone tell me what's going on?
Could you please explain that I accidentally turned on the vibration mode? If I hadn’t looked at the calm outside, I would have thought there was an earthquake.
Man carrying the sedan chair, you are mighty and majestic, the whole sedan chair is rocking as you swing left and right
Tomorrow morning for the imperial examination, you will have a banquet at noon until late at night; I live in Xicheng, and you will have a banquet in Dongcheng. It is a long journey, so not only did the sedan go into vibration mode, but it also took a long time. As a result, it took longer on the road. By the time we arrived at Linhuai Marquis Mansion,
By that time, it was already around one o'clock in the night.
The red lantern in front of the Linhuai Marquis Mansion was glowing red, and there were several sturdy young men waiting in front of the door. As soon as the four people carrying the sedan landed, these young men hurriedly came to the sedan and greeted the men carrying the sedan.
They didn't look good, but they saw these people deliberately rocking the sedan chair, and my uncle was still in the sedan chair.
"Uncle, you are back. The young lady asked us to wait here for a long time." After Zhu Pingan got off the sedan, a somewhat familiar boy stepped forward and said worriedly.
"I'm fine, I kept you waiting for a long time." Zhu Pingan got off the sedan and handed over his hands to thank him. This young boy Zhu Pingan had some impression that he was one of the people who followed Li Shu to the Hou Mansion.
Seeing Zhu Pingan get off the sedan, several men carrying the sedan said goodbye, and then carried the empty sedan back steadily. The boy waiting outside the door entered the Hou Mansion with Zhu Pingan, and waited for Zhu Pingan to enter the guest room.
After confirming that Zhu was safe and sound, they each returned.
Zhu Ping'an returned to the guest room, feeling a little dizzy. It was mainly caused by them jolting him in the sedan chair. Thinking about today's events, he couldn't help but silently greet Yan Shifan's family members. He washed his face a little and sat on a chair to take a rest.
For a moment, prepare to put away things for tomorrow's exam.
Zhu Ping'an was sitting on the chair. Before he could sit firmly, he saw someone coming with a lantern from outside. It was Li Shu and the others. Li Shu was wearing a plush fox fur cloak, bringing a little maid with buns, and two old ladies.
Came in.
The little maid Baozi was holding a large food box. There was also a set of neatly folded clothes on the food box.
"They forced you to drink again?"
After Li Shu came in, she saw Zhu Pingan sitting on a chair and rubbing his forehead. She thought that Zhu Pingan had been drunk by someone from Yan's house like last time. Her pretty face turned crimson with anger, and her arrogant voice was filled with worry.
Then, without waiting for Zhu Ping'an's answer, Li Shu ordered the little maid Baozi holding the food box, "Hua'er, bring out the hangover soup quickly."
"No, the sedan ride was so bumpy when I came here that my head was spinning." Zhu Pingan shook his head and smiled bitterly. He stopped the little maid who was opening the food box.
"Why are you here?" Zhu Pingan stood up and asked.
Hearing this, Li Shu rolled her eyes vigorously. She pinched her waist with her slender hands and said angrily, "I'm here to see if a certain smelly toad has turned into a toad. Hey, you think I'm here for you? You're mine."
Nominal husband-in-law, Sixth Sister and the others all know that you were invited to a banquet by that blind man. If you come back so late, if I don't come and take a look, they won't be suspicious. I don't want to be regarded as heartless by them."
You think too much
Zhu Pingan looked at Li Shu, a little speechless. In fact, girls have always been an unfamiliar field to Zhu Pingan. Back then, he was powerless, cash-strapped, and was repeatedly ravaged on the road to employment. During Christmas, Valentine's Day, and various functions, he was speechless.
When it comes to festivals, I have always been a single person who has been madly exported.
Girls are as deep as the Bible, but it's a pity that Zhu Pingan couldn't read even one page.
"What are you looking at? Don't be too sentimental. I don't care about you. I just don't want to be misunderstood. Those are clothes for you to wear tomorrow. You can't wear random clothes when trying on clothes in the Tomorrow Hall. If you are laughed at, you will get in trouble with me."
Li Shu rolled her eyes at Zhu Ping'an, pouted her little mouth, pointed at the clothes brought by the little maid Baozi with her pink and tender little fingers, her voice was very arrogant.
"Thank you very much." Zhu Pingan thanked Li Shu with his hands. Although Li Shu was as arrogant and temperamental as ever, Zhu Pingan was still very grateful for the clothes.
"Who cares about your thanks?" Li Shu pouted her little mouth, raised her head at 45 degrees, but there was a faint smile hidden at the corner of her mouth, which was barely visible, "I left Hua'er, so I don't have to disturb someone."
A stinky toad's sleep will save someone from failing in the exam and blaming us."
After saying that, Li Shu twisted Liu's waist, led the little maid Baozi, and left Zhu Ping'an's guest room with the two old ladies.
With the clothes sent by Li Shu, Zhu Ping'an put away his pen, ink, paper, inkstone, etc., then put out the candle, lay down on the bed and closed his eyes to sleep.
However
When Zhu Pingan had just fallen asleep, he suddenly heard the deafening sound of firecrackers coming from the Wei Guogong Mansion next door.
Boom boom boom boom boom
Zhu Ping'an woke up from a deep sleep. Hearing the endless sound of firecrackers next door, he stood up and silently said: I bought a watch last year.
This is by no means an ordinary firecracker, at least it is the thickened version of the firecracker with two kicks when it goes off. Ordinary firecrackers will not even shake the windows.
At this time, Zhu Pingan missed modern fireworks control very much.
Who dares to say that this has nothing to do with the Yan family's unfair competition methods? If you really do it thoroughly, then I will definitely grab the number one pick tomorrow.
If I am well, Ouyang, you will always have a spare tire until old age
While Zhu Pingan was sleepless, Yan Shifan, smelling of alcohol and supported by four beautiful maids, returned to Yan's Mansion. After entering the door, he casually asked, "How is Ouyang?"
"Go back to me, Mr. Ouyang had dinner before dark. He turned off the lights and went to bed early as he ordered. He will be very energetic for the palace examination tomorrow."
The servant's answer made Yan Shifan nodded with satisfaction, and then he touched the maid on the right casually, smiled and said, today I will let you see how powerful the master is, and then disappeared into the night amidst the laughter of a group of warblers.
.
The firecrackers in the Duke of Wei's Mansion went off all night, and someone from the Linhuai Marquis Mansion went to inquire. The Duke of Wei's Mansion said that it was to ward off evil spirits for Xu Sangong's palace test. He said that someone in the Duke of Wei's Mansion saw something unclean and set off firecrackers to ward off evil spirits.
However, someone saw Mr. Xu being carried in a sedan chair to a courtyard near Xiyuan to rest and prepare for the exam as early as after dinner.
In short, Zhu Pingan had a sleepless night. When he got dressed in the morning, he had thick dark circles on his face and looked haggard.
"Uncle~Uncle~Miss asked you to bring this."
When Zhu Pingan left the Hou Mansion early in the morning and embarked on the journey to the palace examination, the little maid Baozi caught up with her skirt and stuffed an exquisite small bag into Zhu Pingan's hand.
Zhu Ping'an opened it on the road, and lying quietly inside was a ginseng with round and dense reeds, beautiful body and whiskers, and he didn't know that the years were yet to come.
