Chapter 585: He’s still number one, he even cheated me out of a watermelon
The sunshine after noon is generous and enthusiastic, kissing the rows of buildings and pedestrians one by one, allowing every corner of the capital to be bathed in its grace.
There was a sound of footsteps coming from the door of the palace-style "Baoxiangzhai" restaurant, and then a young man in official uniform walked out with slightly curled lips. He looked at the sunshine outside the door and stretched with satisfaction.
Then slowly step into the sunshine.
"What an ignorant nerd!"
The charming young woman upstairs looked at the figure of the young man in official uniform outside the window, curled her rosy mouth and rolled her eyes disdainfully.
"Being dull and boring, he deserves the title of number one scholar. I really don't understand, Lan Lan, why do you like this kind of person?" The charming young woman withdrew her gaze from the young man in official uniform outside the window, turned to a wall in the empty room, and looked at the direction.
Outside the window, he became gentler, and his voice also had a hint of friendly anger.
Crunch…
Suddenly there was a sound on the door.
Where there was originally a wooden wall, a door suddenly opened, and a pretty girl with a cold face and obvious anger walked out. She was wearing a luxurious lavender pleated skirt, with red peonies embroidered on the breast, and a slim waist.
There are two ribbons hanging down, and pieces of flying petals are embroidered on the skirt. Her black hair is tied into a flying fairy bun, and a pair of hairpins with golden phoenix hairpins and beads are dotted on both sides of the bun, making the girl even more elegant.
noble.
"Who likes him! Sister-in-law, please stop talking nonsense!" The girl blushed with embarrassment and said angrily. Although she was speaking to the charming young woman, her angry eyes were looking out the window.
After the girl came out, several maids and old ladies also came out one after another, all with angry faces. If they were not afraid of affecting the young lady's reputation, they would have wanted to come out and confront her.
A certain ignorant nian in the room was scolded just now!
Why don’t you want to take a concubine?! Bah, what a beautiful thought! If the eldest daughter of our Yan family is your concubine, you won’t be afraid of shortening your life! Even the daughter of a concubine is assigned to the princes and nobles, and the relatives of the emperor and the country are all the grandmothers of the house!
Let him divorce an uneducated country girl, and then talk about "seven outs" and "three no-goes"! This will make him lose a lot of book bags!
What an ignorant nerd!
Bah, you are short-sighted! You don’t want a lady who is dignified, generous, and elegant, but you keep an uneducated country girl as your treasure! He is indeed a bookworm from a corner of the mountain village! His eyes are like those of a dog! Give me the opportunity in front of you.
You don’t even know for sure! You deserve to be questioned by the Ministry of Punishment! Go to jail and read your sage books!
Especially the maids who were serving the girl looked out the window angrily, wishing they could open the window and shout loudly to call him a bastard.
"Whoever likes it knows..."
Seeing the girl walking out angrily, the charming young woman burst into laughter, her bright red lips curved, and her bright red phoenix eyes seemed to be able to see through the girl's heart.
"Sister-in-law! Don't make fun of Lan'er. I, Yan Lan, don't like that scoundrel!" The girl's eyes widened and she looked into the eyes of the charming young woman. As if to show that she had a clear conscience for what she said, her voice also rose.
a bit.
"Giggle...if you don't like this brat, then why did you refuse to agree to the engagement between you and Ouyang Zishi?" The charming young woman touched her bright red lips with her green fingers.
She laughed softly.
"I don't like Ouyang Zishi! Father promised me to choose my own son-in-law." Yan Lan raised her voice and defended.
"Besides, just because I don't agree to get engaged to Ouyang Zishi, it doesn't mean that I like that trapper!" Yan Lan said and stared out the window, as if there was an enemy outside that she deeply hated.
"You can fool yourself, but you can't fool me." The charming young woman's bright red phoenix eyes seemed to see through the girl's heart, she pointed at the girl, then pointed at herself and whispered softly.
"No one I, Yan Lan, likes will like that insidious and cunning scoundrel!" Yan Lan angrily walked to the window, looked at someone's back and said as if he was swearing.
"Insidious and cunning?"
The charming young woman was startled when she heard this, and carefully recalled Zhu Ping'an's words and behavior after he came in. No matter how he looked at it, he was a rigid and boring nerd, so she shook her head in disbelief, "That dull and boring nerd,
No matter how you look at it, it has nothing to do with insidiousness..."
"Sister-in-law, you were deceived by that slut's honest appearance!" Yan Lan looked at the charming young woman and couldn't help but think of that slut who saw her bathing but pretended to be too drunk and didn't see the light.
The scene of deceiving myself made me grit my teeth with hatred.
"What?" The charming young woman's dark eyes lit up.
"That scoundrel is always good at this trick!" the girl said angrily, hating the iron.
"Isn't it?" the charming young woman said to herself, and then turned her gaze to the window.
"Eh?" Seeing the scene outside the window, the charming young woman couldn't help but exclaimed.
"What's wrong?" Yan Lan asked without noticing.
"What do you think that brat is going to do? He seems to be helping that person sell melons?" The charming young woman looked out the window and said softly with some confusion, "That melon seller has been downstairs for a long time and hasn't sold a single melon.
..."
"It really is......"
Yan Lan couldn't help walking to the window after hearing the words, and looked out of the window from an angle that could not be seen from the outside. In her sight, Zhu Ping'an was standing in front of the old man selling melons, saying something. The old man looked unbelieving.
It seemed like he really wanted to help the old man sell melons.
Everyone else in the room joined in.
The distance is not far, and if you listen carefully, you can vaguely hear the sounds outside, and vaguely hear the conversation between Zhu Pingan and the old man.
"Don't worry, old man. I have a way to sell your watermelons quickly. You can also spend them this way in the next few days, and then you will have enough money for your betrothal gift."
After Zhu Pingan went downstairs, he planned to buy two watermelons from the old man selling watermelons. He saw that the old man selling melons was very leisurely and had no business. He seemed to be worried. While picking the watermelons, he started chatting with the old man selling melons.
Then you know the old man's current situation.
The old man’s family spent a lot of time, energy and money. They didn’t even go out to work as part-time workers, so they saved money for the eldest son’s daughter-in-law by pointing to the watermelons that were released in advance. However, the watermelons could not be sold.
The watermelons are big and sweet, but they can’t be sold because of the price. But where are the costs and the price can’t come down?
Helping others is the foundation of happiness.
After learning about the old man's difficulties, Zhu Pingan thought about it and thought of a way, so he told the old man that there was a way to help him sell the watermelons quickly.
After hearing Zhu Pingan's voice, not only the old man selling melons didn't believe it, but also there was an impossible sound in the room.
"He's bragging. He wants to sell it quickly. How is it possible? The guy downstairs is a melon grower outside the city. I bought some watermelons from him yesterday. Although his watermelons ripen early, they are expensive.
It's dead. It's five or six times more expensive than usual watermelons, and no one buys the expensive ones."
"That's right, it's so expensive. It's almost time to catch up with the meat. Yesterday, except for the few we bought at home, the melon seller didn't sell a single melon the whole day."
"That nerd is trying to defraud the old man of his watermelons. I saw the old man selling melons this morning, but he hasn't sold any of them yet."
"He's still the No. 1 scholar, but he even cheated him out of a watermelon. That old man is so pitiful. He's really shameless."
There were a few girls and women in the room who knew the inside story, and they started talking all over the place.
