Watching his Li Shu swaying, shyly trotting past him, the tart outside the door was stuffed up, unable to figure out why his cousin didn’t give a damn about his own son, who was from the second rank, but was attentive to such a mediocre looking kid who didn’t know what he was coming from!
I want to be able to write, to be able to martial arts, long and one in a hundred, cousin how can you degrade yourself!
Outside the door tart heart stuffed, dabbled to Zhu Pingan’s room, stood there pointing at Zhu Pingan, loudly asked: “Who are you? How dare you, how dare you be in the Marquis Mansion and be so insolent to the Marquis Miss”
Zhu Pingan ignored the incriminating tart and instead turned his gaze to Li Yan Zhou who was right behind him.
How dare you ignore me?
Seeing that Zhu Pingan had actually ignored himself, the heart of the tart was stuffed and his anger rose high, but before he could get up an attack, he heard this mediocre looking kid who had ignored him speak.
“Eldest brother-in-law, who is this gentleman?”
Zhu Pingan’s light sentence instantly made that tart dumbfounded, what the hell, what did he call Yan Zhou’s cousin, great uncle? What does it mean, does it mean …… Thinking about Li Shu and Zhu Pingan’s actions, the tart instantly guessed the truth of the matter, and then the whole person seemed to be struck by lightning.
In the earlier aunt said to introduce cousin Li Shu to himself, he was still a little hesitant at that time, this Li Shu is only the least unpopular third master’s family’s young lady in Linhuai Marquis’ house, but after seeing Li Shu today, he was instantly shocked to be a heavenly person, this is the best of the best, ah, ah, more than the Peach Blossom Courtyard in the house of the flower girl ah, ah ah, ah ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.
This kind of beauty should be matched with a literary and military talent like himself!
Soo Nian made up his mind to agree to his aunt after seeing Li Shu only once, but, Nima, what’s up with this great uncle?
“Ahem…… This is my cousin, Zheng Duo, the second son of my uncle, Lord Zheng, the Minister of Zhejiang Prefecture. Cough cough, cousin, this. Well, it’s Zhu Pingan, the man that Third Uncle betrothed to Fifth Sister in the countryside. This marriage is also something that Third Uncle has just told the family about, and he hasn’t had time to tell you about it yet.”
Fatty Zhou coughed twice and introduced himself.
“Ah. Cousin Shu’er is engaged? Or from the countryside?” Zheng Duo seemed unable to accept this news, looking Zhu Pingan up and down, both disdainful and indignant, “Is cousin Shu’er’s own child, how come third uncle treats cousin Shu’er like this. No, I can’t stand by and watch cousin Shu’er fall into the fire pit.”
After saying that, as if Zheng Duo felt the call of justice, he swore to save cousin Shu’er from the fire, the whole person turned around with a face of indignation and walked out, probably going to look for Marquis Linhuai’s wife or the Marquis’ old lady.
“Cousin, wait for me.” Fatty Zhou shouted and also flung his fat body to chase after him.
Zhu Pingan looked at the departing figures of the two men and smiled faintly, inexplicably a “love rival” came out. It is estimated that his own days in the Marquis House will not be peaceful, but the soldiers come to stop the water to cover the earth is, and then lowered his head to continue to eat his own meal.
Things as Zhu Pingan thought almost, in the afternoon just after the lunch break, there is a boy to tell Zhu Pingan, said Li Yan Zhou young master, Zheng Duo young master, as well as the Marquis second miss and other people in the Bamboo Garden opened a tea and poetry, invited Zhu Pingan to participate.
Erm, so boring!
The fat man who has kissed, the second ancestor who thinks that Pan An is alive and possessed by Li Bai, and the young lady who is hooking up in the back house. Such a poetry party would only be, at best, the Chongyang Group Poetry Party in Dream of the Red Chamber.
But Zhu Pingan still overestimated this poetry meeting ……
The site of the poem will be decorated quite like a thing, a number of maids courtyard charcoal cooking tea, bamboo garden in the long pavilion. In the middle of the goblet poems on the table, the pavilion also hangs a number of ink, about the atmosphere from the treasury out of the atmosphere; the ground is covered with thick embedded gold carpet, next to the columns on a person-high carved silk incense table, incense mixed with a little spice, burning up the fragrance of the four overflowing. Even let a good qin playing little girl playing in public in the courtyard. Bamboo garden bamboo also tied a lot of ribbons.
Marquis several young ladies, including Li Shu were also present, there are a group of maids and old mums waiting, in addition to the marquis bear children and little loli are also present to join in the fun.
When Zhu Pingan entered the bamboo garden led by the boy, the Zheng Duo gentleman was about to compose a poem. Zheng Duo at this moment changed a white brocade dress, spotless, inside tight outside send very decent, hair also use the good flawless jade crown up, looks far more than Zhu Pingan modest gentleman a hundred times.
At this moment, Zheng Gongzi back hands, a pair of eyes shining brightly, two curved eyebrows like ink, the whole person seems to have the courage of ten thousand men, it seems that as long as a mouth, will be able to gulp Lingyun Zhi.
Zhu Pingan just went up to the long pavilion, this Duke Zheng moved, the dragon flew and the phoenix danced, putting pen to paper was an unrestrained poem and fugue:
The Pavilion of Penglai
A good Penglai Pavilion, the gods sit on it.
Warm sunlight, sea water shines in the centre.
Wine by the window, sing to the sea.
If you want to drink more than me, why don’t you get drunk?
After making this one poem, Duke Zheng placed the brush in his hand on the ink stone, cleanly and with the style of a gentleman.
Zhu Pingan walked up to the long pavilion and saw this Wing Penglai Pavilion, this oncoming smashing artistic breath almost didn’t make Zhu Pingan choke on his breath.
The second and third misses of the Marquis House looked at the poem made by this cousin, the corners of their mouths twitched and froze without uttering a single word. Li Shu, on the other hand, rolled her eyes, unwilling to even look at it again.
On the contrary, it was Fatty Zhou who shouted several times, and of course, the surrounding little maids and old mothers also chimed in with good poems, good poems, and so on. Mr Zheng was complacent in the shouts of approval and was quite pleased with himself.
“Oh, isn’t this a talented person from the countryside, come come come, you also use Penglai Pavilion as a limit and make a poem to see.” When Duke Zheng saw Zhu Pingan, his eyes lit up, so he asked Zhu Pingan to make a poem as well.
Good Penglai Pavilion, singing high songs to the sea …… This kind of poetry meeting, what’s the point of attending! With this time it would be better to go back and read more books to prepare for the preparation of the temple examination.
“Cough cough cough, Mr Zheng’s high talent, Ping An is ashamed to be inferior …… That, Ping An still has important matters to attend to, so excuse me.” Zhu Pingan pulled the corner of his mouth and said, then arched his hand towards the crowd, turned around and left.
Looking at Zhu Pingan’s figure as he turned to leave, Zheng Duo was a bit incredulous, this result came too easily. Zheng Duo had originally led this poetry meeting with the intention of showing his talent in front of Li Shu, and by the way, using his talent to crush Zhu Pingan, so that Li Shu would realise that he was the right match, but he did not expect that the purpose had been achieved so easily.
Look, cousin Li Shu is looking at me differently than she did just now.
Zheng Duo felt that he needed to continue his efforts and write another poem to completely solidify his talent, so he walked back to the table and lifted his brush to write another poem.
“I still have things to return in my room, you guys take your time to play.” Li Shu said indifferently, then led the little bun maid away in a flutter.
