Under the supervision of his mother Chen, Zhu Pingan read books for the whole morning, and only in the afternoon did his mother Chen let Zhu Pingan go out to return the books to the Li family in Shanghe Village.
Zhu Pingan front foot just went out, did not go far, turned back to see the mother Chen’s take a sole, with a needle and thread rushed out the door, look at the direction of the mother to go, know that the mother Chen’s go to find the village crowded place to show off.
Er, my mother adult ……
Zhu Pingan looked at his mother’s cheerful back, and silently resolved that this time, the Enkei must win the laurels in the palace.
After watching his mother’s back disappear around the corner, Zhu Pingan then slung his school bag all the way to Shanghe Village.
“Hehe, I estimated that young master Zhu was coming, and I was right, young master Zhu, please come in.” Li family’s concierge, Uncle Li, opened the gate before Zhu Pingan even knocked on the door with a warm face.
Although he had already been called Master Zhu several times by the concierge, Zhu Pingan was still not used to it and expressed his gratitude to the concierge with a bitter smile.
From the concierge uncle Li’s attitude, you can also see that “all things are inferior, only the book is high” is not a false statement, the status of the reader, especially those who have the status of merit, the status of the Ming Dynasty is still very high. Perhaps, the middle and late Ming Dynasty, should be the highest status of Chinese readers since ancient times. Longqing first year (1567), Wuxi governor Han Jinchuan, because of something is not tired of the hearts of the masses, resulting in a great outcry of the students, spit in the face. In the same year, Changzhou governor Li Youzi, was five counties of the students combined attack, almost killed.
In such a dynasty, how can not read well.
Say goodbye to the concierge uncle Li, Zhu Pingan went straight to the study, it is not clear that those accountants have not finished checking the accounts, into the study, the study is very quiet, it looks like it has finished checking the accounts.
Walking into the study, the study room is spacious and bright, the doorway also disappeared to take care of the study room er Wang accountant, only a young boy in.
“Mr Zhu came to return the book.”
Zhu Pingan had not seen this boy. However, this young man instantly recognised Zhu Pingan, presumably because apart from the Li family, the one who can come to the study of the Li family is Zhu Pingan.
“Well, thank you.” Zhu Pingan nodded and pulled out the book he borrowed last time from his school bag. It was placed on the table.
“I also have to trouble Zhu Pingan to register it, the little one can’t read, he’s just temporarily standing in for Uncle Wang for a moment.” The little man got up with an apologetic face.
“It’s only right that I’m the one causing trouble for you guys.” Zhu Pingan smiled faintly and leaned over to register the books he had returned one by one in the book with a brush.
“Sir Zhu is truly a kind and generous man.” The boy had a grateful face. Holding out his hand, he invites Zhu Pingan to go inside the study to borrow a book, “Please make yourself at home, sir, I will go and find Uncle Wang to come.”
“Many thanks.” Zhu Pingan arched his hand and went to the bookshelf to borrow a book.
Zhu Pingan walked to the bookshelf to look for books to read, not seen in three days, it seems that the Li family’s collection of books has increased again, a whole lot more bookshelves, and coincidentally all the books are related to the imperial examinations. I guess it is the Li family to show appreciation, specially let people buy it, rich merchants are really exquisite in all aspects. This makes Zhu Pingan somewhat admiring to Li Dazhong.
While Zhu Pingan was carefully flipping through the books, he heard a sound of footsteps coming from outside the study, as well as noisy and chaotic sounds, and soon this noise came inside the study.
“Which one is Zhu Pingan?”
Immediately after, Zhu Pingan heard this mid-air shout.
Err.
In other words, I’m the only one in the study, why are you using the word which, as if there are many people in the study.
“May I ask who you are?” Zhu Pingan asked as he walked out from behind several rows of bookshelves and looked at the visitor with an arched hand.
The one who walked into the study was a middle-aged young man of about seventeen or eighteen years of age, with thick eyebrows and round eyes. Like a calf, he looked strong. He wore ink-coloured satin robe, inside the robe reveals blue openwork hibiscus flowers inlays, waist tie brocade belt, feet on short murmuring boots. There is also a wipe of the mouth.
Obviously a jerks, but also partial to the elegance of holding a folding fan, that pair of big hands and folding fan is full of incongruity.
Behind this person is also followed by two maids and three boys.
After seeing Zhu Pingan come out, this person with a snout facing the sky rushed Zhu Pingan to stretch out the fat hand like a bear claw, no one shouted: “Who am I? Hehehe, you came to my house to borrow a book and still ask me who I am? Other people say you are very smart. I don’t think it’s good either.”
Nima.
This bear-like boy was actually one of the older brothers of the belaboured girl?
No wonder the dark girl is so arrogant, so it is the family heritage ah? Er, said when I was a child, the dark girl once said that she wanted her brother to beat her up, this is the bear brother, right?
“Third brother, what are you doing, who let you come to the study, you read the book last time all tore the book it, father have given you grounded to not let you into the study.”
At this time outside came the voice of the belly girl with a beeping mouth complaining, soon the belly girl appeared in the study wearing a brand new set of beautiful clothes and skirts.
The belly-black girl should have trotted here, her little face was all flushed from running.
The ventriloquist girl was also followed by the running, panting, buns little maid, Painting.
After entering the room, the bun little maid, Painter, looked down at the Third Duke, and then looked at Zhu Pingan who was standing intact in front of the bookshelf, before she shushed and let go of her heart.
For some reason, the bun maid, Painting Child, also seemed to have heard her own young lady shushing her breath as well.
“Old sister, why are you here?” The belly girl’s third brother had just been raging like a bear, but when he met the belly girl, his aura immediately changed to a gentle one like a fat cat basking in the sun.
“I’m afraid that you have trampled the study again!” The belly black girl pouted.
“Don’t worry, after you told father and beat me up last time, I wouldn’t dare to mess around in the study again.” The third brother of the Ventriloquist Maiden’s face was filled with an expression of pleasing the Ventriloquist Maiden.
“Who told you not to read properly!” The Ventriloquist Maiden grunted.
“Yes, yes, yes, old sister is all for my good.” A smile piled up on the third brother of the Belchering Maiden’s face.
“Good to know.” The Ventriloquist Maiden looked up at the sky at forty-five degrees and snapped arrogantly.
Zhu Pingan stood in front of the bookshelf, boredly watching their siblings interacting, so this person was the third brother of the Ventriloquist Maiden, now it seems that the thick eyebrows, big eyes and round face looks a bit like Li Dazhong. Only, with the belly black girl appearance is far away, although the belly black girl is capricious, black, poisonous tongue, snake scorpion …… but the appearance is their own two lifetimes have seen the most stunning girls. If not see with their own eyes and ears, it is difficult to associate them with the word brother and sister.
“I’ve been home for the past two days and often heard my father and my oldest sister say that you’re smart, but I don’t believe how smart you are.” After the oldest member of the Li family had finished interacting with his own sister, he turned around with his nostrils turned skyward and provoked Zhu Pingan to open up.
Before Zhu Pingan could speak, he heard someone speak.
“Which one of your ears heard me say he’s smart!”
The beloved girl stomped her little savage foot in defiance, stood on her tiptoes, stretched out her slender hand, and caught her own third brother’s ear in one go, her little tiger teeth showing!
