Fatty was in the clouds, confused and unable to understand, and chased Zhu Pingan up the stairs.
After arriving upstairs, no one was around, and under the fat man’s continuous questioning, Zhu Pingan only faintly said, “Prepare more gold and silver to his home, and ensure that you will be safe in the imperial examination.”
Just now there are too many people downstairs, it is not good to say out, now to the upstairs on their own and the fat man two people, the voice is also small, also not afraid of what the walls have ears, so Zhu Pingan also said out faintly.
“Huh?”
After Fatty heard the answer revealed by Zhu Ping An, his mouth was so surprised that he could swallow a fist, what’s going on ah, just now you didn’t know that our school mentioning officer has been changed to Lord Zhao, and now that you just heard of Lord Zhao’s name, you came up with the idea of letting me send gold and silver over to bribe for the exam. You are not making up your mind and boasting.
“This morning I went outside to read a book, and I encountered Lord Zhao’s family’s horseman, who flew off the handle and almost ran me over.” Zhu Pingan sat on the table, poured a cup of tea, took a sip and slowly said.
“What does that have to do with your advice?!” Fatty spat.
“Because of the fast bumping into me, so I saw very clearly, Lord Zhao’s carriage is not ordinary, promote elm made, hooked spices, and the carriage curtains are made of silk, gold thread traced edges, and the charms on it are also worth a lot of money” Zhu Ping An hooked the corner of his lips and said faintly.
In fact, regardless of the carriage of Lord Zhao that he encountered in the morning, it doesn’t matter if it is this Lord Zhao Wenhua Zhao, it is all just an excuse for himself to convince the fat man. Anyway, the history of Zhao Wenhua made famous greed for money, this Zhao Wenhua is greedy for money to the extreme master, this is even the emperor’s wealth are ruthless ruthless people, in the examination is not greedy strange, the examination backdoor quota rather than cheaper than cheap other people would be cheaper than the fat man it.
Hearing this, the fat man’s eyes also brightened, “You mean”
“What did I say, I didn’t say anything.” Zhu Pingan shrugged his shoulders and said in a serious manner.
“Heh heh heh, I get it I get it. Thanks a lot brother Zhu,” Fatty’s two chubby paws folded together as he continuously expressed his gratitude to Zhu Pingan.
“The imperial examination can be like this, but the countryside examination won’t work, take advantage of this time before the countryside examination you’d better read more books.” After Zhu Pingan took a sip of tea. With a straight face, he said to Fatty Xuechi.
The imperial examination was because it was an examination presided over by the school mentioning officials to determine the suitable candidates to participate in the countryside examination. The right to select students to participate in the Imperial Examination was entirely in the hands of the Tishekuan’s personal hands. The countryside examination is not, the countryside examination but by the imperial court selected Hanlin, Cabinet Bachelor to go to the provinces to serve as the main and deputy examiner, presided over. There is little room for error.
“Zhu brother don’t worry, my brother must head hanging beams and awl stabbing stocks” Fatty Bra Bra Bra guaranteed a whole lot of bullsh*t.
“You do well, I still have to read.” Zhu Pingan placed the teacup on one side of the table and said indifferently.
“Fine, foolish brother I’ll also go back and prepare properly.” The fat man also had the good sense to take his leave, and couldn’t wait to go back to prepare for the gift giving. From the time of the examination time is not much, the examination quota was not much, in order to be fair to see, left to the back door of the quota is less and less, send gifts as soon as possible. So as not to be preempted by others.
In the afternoon, Zhu Pingan was in the room to practice the eight stocks and thesis, write one by himself, from the mind will have seen the past similar scholar scrolls out of the mimeograph once, compare to find the shortcomings, and then in the correction and improvement. The best, and then these scholar scrolls will be burned, these have not yet appeared scholar scrolls, should not have appeared in this dynasty, Zhu Pingan also do not want to give people leave any handle. Cautiousness is the only way to better survive in this dynasty.
Early the next morning, walking outside you can still see the moon in the sky, the moon hanging in the sky, how weak, how pale, how powerless. Like the face of a person who has recovered from a serious illness, with a faint white light, very euphemistic, like the Song of Songs under the pen of Li Qingzhao.
Under the cool moonlight, Zhu Pingan clamped a black wooden board and slung his school bag. Slowly and leisurely, he walked from the inn towards the woods where he used to practise his usual calligraphy in the day.
While Zhu Pingan was still filling water into a bamboo tube by the Qinhuai River, a room on the opposite bank of the Qinhuai River was gently pushed open a crack, and a seventeen or eighteen year old girl looked out through the crack, and could vaguely see a blurred figure of a scholar on the bank of the Qinhuai River.
The young girl looked at the window will be gently closed, tiptoe to the dressing table in front of the fast make-up for themselves, and is tracing the eyebrows and drawing eyeliner, eyelashes are also carefully lengthened with small clips, rouge powder are used in the past can not afford to use more than ten silver a box of, and then took out a red paper, placed between the lips gently hold, will be the corners of the lips stained red!
In the mirror, a young girl with a shy spring, a smile.
After packing up, the young girl draped in light clothing will tiptoe out, open the door with a slight sound, startled another young girl lying on the bed.
“Sister, what are you going to do?”
The sleeping girl in the bed rubbed her eyes and looked at the girl who opened the door in a daze, half asleep, half awake, and asked.
“Sister sister out of respect for a while, sister then sleep, today we can sleep.” The young girl at the door coaxed softly.
“Oh.” The young girl who wore a falling horse bun then laid down again and went on to sleep, last night my sister talked to herself for a long time and slept so late that she is still sleepy now.
Seeing the young girl on the bed fall back to sleep, the young girl at the door breathed a sigh of relief, then gently closed the door again, gently went downstairs, and only walked towards the other side of the Qinhuai River.
Zhu Pingan was in the woods, concentrating on practising his calligraphy, and did not notice in the slightest that a young girl cloaked in a light veil was walking this way.
“Duke Zhou?”
When Zhu Pingan was practising his words and was absorbed in his thoughts, suddenly a slightly probing delicate female voice came out, startling Zhu Pingan and raising his head was even more startling, a white-clothed female ghost?
“It’s really Eun Gong, the fox child thought that she had misread it.” The female ghost in Zhu Pingan’s eyes a slender jade hand covered her cherry lips and let out a string of delicate laughter, her big watery eyes were full of surprise.
“You are?” Zhu Pingan narrowed his eyes.
“Zhou Gongzi is really a nobleman, you also wrote white fox to our sisters that day, Gongzi is really talented, thanks to the blessing of En Gong, our sisters were able to win the scouting flower during the selection of the flower leader, and our sisters’ days are much better than in the past.” The seventeen or eighteen teenage girl said while walking towards Zhu Pingan’s side.
Oh.
So it was them, Zhu Pingan then remembered that.
“Ya, Gongzi is sweating.” The young girl walked to Zhu Pingan’s side and suddenly let out a delicate cry, so she took out a show handkerchief with body fragrance from her bosom and wiped it towards Zhu Pingan’s face.
Sweating?
Are you kidding me, it’s still a bit cool in the early morning, how can you sweat.
There are also words, this handkerchief scent is also too pungent, Zhu Pingan subconsciously turned his head to avoid the handkerchief in the delicate hand of the young girl reaching over.
The young girl’s face was flushed, retrieved her delicate jade hand, blinked her big watery eyes and looked at Zhu Pingan, pouting, “What is it that you are hiding, the slave is not a tiger, it can still eat you.”
No way.
Zhu Pingan looked at the young girl this shy with spring appearance, a time speechless, screw a hairline ah, buddy is still small!
