What kind of daughter-in-law do you want in the future?
After hearing this question, Zhu Pingan shifted his sight to the burning-eyed belly girl, Li Shu, and stayed there for about two to three seconds.
The long sable fur dress was delicate and charming.
When Li Shu was somewhat shyly looked at by Zhu Pingan, Zhu Pingan looked at Li Shu and hooked his lips with a teasing opening:
“You don’t need to be too pretty, you don’t need to be too smart, you don’t need to be bratty and capricious, you don’t need to mess around, you need to be gentle and virtuous, you need to be considerate and loving, you need to be”
Every time Zhu Pingan said a sentence, Li Shu’s delicate and attractive face would be one point colder
“So many requirements, just become a monk!”
Li Shu blackened her face, clattering the chess pieces on the board in a brainless mess, inexplicably losing her temper.
And then
Zhu Pingan then looked at Li Shu with a curious look, saying that he had spoken out of turn, why was this girl so emotional?
“Cough cough cough, I would have liked to introduce my family’s, ah, maid ah, to you, did not expect you still pick not, hum, also do not look at yourself in the mirror, but also smacked this smacked that, do not know good people!”
Li Shu noticed Zhu Pingan’s curious eyes, and realised that she had lost control of her emotions, her face was slightly red, but she pushed some of the responsibilities all justifiably onto Zhu Pingan, and logically vented.
“Save it, my own daughter-in-law will find it on her own, don’t bother you old man!” Zhu Pingan shook his head in respect.
“You’re the one who’s old!” Li Shu, the dark girl, glared hard at Zhu Pingan, and her face seemed to get even worse.
This chick forgot to take her medicine, right?
“The three games just now, well, let’s just consider that I won two juju, as we agreed before, I’m going to look for my two books.” Zhu Pingan got up, said faintly, and walked towards the bookshelf.
“What do you mean just as it is, it was supposed to be.” Li Shu pouted unhappily.
Zhu Pingan just swept Li Shu a childish glance with a look like a kitten picking at a ball of wool. Then with a slight shake of his head he turned around and walked towards the bookshelf.
By the time Zhu Pingan walked to the bookshelf, he could hear the sound of the ventriloquist girl throwing a tantrum, seemingly lecturing a certain little maid, truly a privilege of a feudal hierarchical society.
“You come over. Are you blind, can’t you see that the chess piece fell to the ground, don’t you know that this chess piece was made for me by father with ivory, you can’t even buy one by selling it!”
And then is the little maid timid promise to answer the voice of apology, the voice is a little strange. It was not the bun little maid, it should be a certain little maid with a lower rank, who was about to be admonished and cried by Li Shu, the black-hearted girl.
“Hey, what are you crying for, did I wrong you?” The ventriloquist maiden was aggressive.
“No, sorry miss.” The little maid gave a fright and knelt on the ground at once, lest her own young lady lose her temper again.
What a spiteful stinky girl, just as unlovely as when she was a child.
Zhu Pingan skimmed his lips, selected a book he needed from the bookshelf, and then continued to flick through to find it. Six books were found one after another, all of which were on the eight stocks and theories. Li Shu’s family had a large collection of books, most of which could be said to be more than ninety per cent in the field of imperial examinations, and Zhu Pingan had become the biggest beneficiary of the Li family’s library. In many cases, Zhu Pingan was still grateful to the Li family.
“Hey, Zhu Pingan, when are you going to the meeting examination?”
Li Shu, who was teaching the little maid over there, saw that Zhu Pingan had chosen his books and asked with a smelly face.
“It’s about to be soon, I was originally thinking of waiting until after my brother’s wedding. But after reading some of the hearts and minds of the past, time is running out. It’s a thousand miles to the capital from here, so I guess I’ll have to move in a few more days.”
Zhu Pingan placed the book on the desk. Leaning down while registering the books, he faintly replied back.
The Enke Countryside Examination started at the beginning of March, and now that it was more than December, there was only about three months left, so there was not much time left.
Ancient times and modern times can not be compared, the ancients rushed one step, two animals and three cars. The river has a boat, but now it is winter time, rivers and lakes are frozen, the boat is not passable, only one step, two animals and three cars. A few days ago, Zhu Pingan asked people to inquire, has not inquired from the town of Guanshan or Huaining County to the capital of the fleet, since the snow, most of the fleet have stopped.
About the only way to go is on foot.
From their own home to the capital is about 1,200 miles, and can not take a straight line distance, about only more or less. Fortunately, repairing bridges and paving roads is counted as a notable political achievement of local officials, local officials around the world for the sake of political achievement, the previous person to build roads, the next generation is difficult to follow, so every official also mostly for it. From home to the capital city road is quite a lot, the official road is very little; but there are still quite a lot of distance is a secluded wilderness mountain road.
Go to the capital to catch the examination to pay attention to a few things, one is to eat the basic preparation of dry food, more weight to catch up on the road is slow; two is a big bugs and beasts, robbers, although now is a peaceful time, but also have to guard against; three is the sunset to rest, have to find a good place to go. As a candidate to Beijing to catch the examination, about the post station should also be able to go to live it, but the post station for the official set up, three or five rooms, mules and horses shop, only the city, the mouth of the Jin, the thoroughfares are more, the general county, the government rare. Therefore, when there is no post station, one has to consider lodging in a private house or a temple or an inn, and so on.
As the saying goes, everything is good at home, but it is difficult to go out everywhere!
Considering the above situation, it is estimated that one can travel 30 miles a day is considered good, if one catches a carriage one can travel 50 miles a day, but if there are any unexpected things on the road, it will take longer. Even months on the road, to the capital must rest a few days it, before the examination must review a few days it, always have to leave the time out.
Because of the journey and various uncertainties, I had to leave for the capital earlier.
“So soon?” Li Shu, the dark girl, seemed a little surprised.
“Why, is there something wrong?” Zhu Pingan looked at Li Shu after registering the books.
“No, nothing.” Li Shu flattened her mouth, her face slightly red.
“Zhu Pingan, what are you going to take the exam for, is it the Scholarship Examination?” On the other side, the bun’s little maid, Painter, couldn’t help but interject and ask, she was really too curious.
“Stupid girl, he is taking the examination, after the examination is called ‘gongshi’, gongshi then go to participate in the temple examination, the temple examination one a three give jinshi and first place, the first place is only the scholar, the second place is the first prize winner, the third place is the scout; the second a give the jinshi birth, the first place is commonly known as the Transept; the third a give the same jinshi birth. ”
Bun face little maid painting child only asked, was next to the belly girl Li Shu with a hand on the forehead knocked.
“Isn’t that the examination for the Scholarship?” The bun-faced little maid, Painter, covered her head and looked at her own young lady with an aggrieved face, puzzled.
“You are so stupid.” The belaboured maiden rolled her eyes.
“Miss, where am I stupid?” The bun-faced little maid, Painter, was still puzzled
