The vestibule roars and rubs, and the guest room warms the book and drinks tea.

Zhu Ping'an, as the initiator, was in the guest room, holding a book, sitting at the desk, with a cup of hot tea, basking in the warm sun, not too comfortable.

"Although Gong'er's turtle is thin, the stewed soup and gnawed meat are your ghosts."

Li Shu pursed her lips, squinted at Zhu Ping'an who was reading with a smile and asked, her skin was as white as a freshly peeled water chestnut, and her watery black eyes were even more natural.

Li Shu led the little girl with the bun over, there was no one else, the little girl with the bun hugged a burden, bulging, I don't know what the bag contains.

"If you say yes, you can't excuse the sin you want to add."

After listening to Li Shu's question, Zhu Ping'an took his eyes off the book, looked up at Li Shu, who came at some point, and replied with the corners of his lips hooked slightly.

"Come on, others don't believe that it's you, but I won't be deceived by you. Giggle, you made Gong'er miserable, just stew soup and gnaw meat, and asked the fat man with a smile Who are you, if it weren't for grandmother to stop her, Gong'er would be fat again. Li Shu rolled her eyes and giggled.

"What kind of stewed soup and gnawed meat, it's insulting, I'm a literary ju." Zhu Ping'an pursed his lips and didn't care at all.

"You can pick it clearly." Li Shu said angrily.

"Giggles, everyone says that Young Master Gong is stubborn, the previous Xixi only taught for three days before Young Master Gong came angrily, and this Xixi was often asked for leave to recuperate by Young Master Gong."

The little girl with the bun behind Li Shu couldn't help laughing when she thought that the bear child had sued but was educated by the eldest master again, and her eyes followed suit. The two small dimples on Baozi's face are also laughing.

Hehe, probably the bear child is like the child in the wolf.

"You bad guy," Li Shu glanced at Zhu Ping'an. I couldn't help but smile at the corners of my lips.

Of course, Li Shu led the little girl with buns to Zhu Ping'an's guest room. It wasn't Xingshi who asked for guilt, but came to send Zhu Ping'an a change of clothes. The little girl with the bun came over with a set of neat clothes, about a set of scholar's clothing, decorated with mink fur and other things, elegant with a sense of nobility.

"You'll change your clothes later, and every other day, I'll have the painter come to you to pick up the clothes, rinse them and dry them, and then send them to you. The Hou Mansion is no more shallow than at home. And also. Three days before my grandmother's birthday, don't forget. ”

Li Shu asked the little maid with the bun to put the clothes she brought in Zhu Ping'an's room, told her, and then talked to Zhu Ping'an in the room before leading the little maid with the bun to leave.

When it was almost noon, a small servant came over and said that Linhuai Hou had been invited, and Zhu Ping'an followed the little servant to Linhuai Hou's study.

The Marquis of Linhuai invited Zhu Ping'an to come, but it was just a courtesy response, and he only asked about Zhu Ping'an's family background roughly. Although it was already known that Zhu Ping'an was a young man who came to the capital to participate in the examination. But he was still disappointed with Zhu Ping'an's family background, and he himself preferred the descendants of his wife's mother's family, who could also provide assistance to the Hou Mansion. is not optimistic about Zhu Ping'an, it would be good if a poor boy in a mountain village didn't hold back the Hou Mansion, don't think about helping. Especially after knowing from Zhou Fatzi that Zhu Ping'an would be assigned to the stinky number, he was even more disappointed.

It's a pity that the wood has been completed. Linhuai Hou was disappointed. Therefore, he is also lukewarm to Zhu Ping'an.

Zhu Ping'an didn't take the Linhuai Marquis Mansion seriously. For the cold reception here in Linhuaihou, he naturally won't take it to heart. Therefore, for Linhuaihou's inquiry, Zhu Ping'an answered calmly and calmly, without being shocked by honor or disgrace.

After just chatting a few words, Linhuai Hou served tea and tea, and Zhu Ping'an consciously said goodbye.

At noon, a little servant came over to spread the word, saying that there were two young sons who came to visit Zhu Ping'an, claiming to be old friends.

Two people, it can only be Zhang Siwei and Wang Shizhen, Zhu Ping'an rewarded a silver bean to the little servant, and asked him to leave a message for the steward of the Hou Mansion, saying that he would not eat in the Hou Mansion at noon.

When I arrived at the gate of the Hou Mansion, I saw the personable Zhang Siwei and Wang Shizhen.

Zhang Siwei and Wang Shizhen saw Zhu Ping'an, and couldn't help but light up, where is Zhu Ping'an's shadow of the poor peasant boy in shabby clothes some time ago, although he looks ordinary, he is more energetic under the background of his clothes, and his literary quality is polite, with a low-key extravagance.

I have to say that the saying that people rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles is very reasonable.

"Hehe, Zihou, you have been hiding from me so hard, and you are an ordinary farmer, but I didn't expect you to be born in the Linhuai Hou Mansion. Brother Zhu Xian, what do you say? As soon as Zhang Siwei waited for Zhu Ping'an to go out, he made a look of asking for guilt.

"My surname is Zhu, and I am not from the Li family, where did I come from the Linhuai Marquis Mansion." Zhu Ping'an pursed his lips.

"Holding the beauty back, it makes me wait for shame, the inn has spread all over the place, Zhu Gongzi's wife is as beautiful as a fairy, and even the maid is rare. You kid didn't come to me and Wensheng after the exam, obviously intoxicated by the gentle township, so glamorous, cheap and good, be careful of the backyard fire. Zhang Siwei quipped.

There is a secret in it, and it involves Li Shu's reputation, Zhu Ping'an is inconvenient to tell them, so he has to smile bitterly.

"I have nothing to say, I have to slaughter you today, what do you say, Wensheng?" Zhang Siwei slapped Zhu Ping'an on the shoulder, turned his head and asked Wang Shizhen with a smile.

"Seconded." Wang Shizhen's robe is snow-white, and the corners of her mouth are echoed with a smile, even if she is joking, she looks like a humble gentleman.

"Wensheng, I'm also bad with Ziwei." Zhu Ping'an hooked the corners of his lips and said.

I really can't figure out how Wang Shizhen, who is such a standard good student both horizontally and vertically, wrote the shocking "Golden Vase Plum" later.

"Zihou said this to you, I have to go to Wenyuan Pavilion to have a big meal today." Zhang Siwei put his hand on Zhu Ping'an's shoulder, and emphasized fiercely with a smile.

"I don't have much money with me."

Zhu Ping'an spread his hands and said very shamefully.

At this moment, the side door of the Linhuai Marquis Mansion opened again, and a little girl with a bun trotted over with this skirt all the way, her little face was red and fluttering, and she offered a money bag to Zhu Ping'an like a treasure, looked up at her bun face, and said with her big shining eyes:

"Uncle~Uncle~~ Your money bag was forgotten in the house, Miss asked me to send it to you. Oh, by the way, Miss also asked me to tell my uncle, don't be greedy, and don't go to any bad places. ”

After finishing speaking, the little girl with the bun put the money bag in Zhu Ping'an's hand, as if it was in contact with the temperature in Zhu Ping'an's hand, and the little girl with the bun turned red all the way, and then trotted all the way back to the Hou Mansion with her skirt.

"Hehehe, Zihou Yanfu is not shallow, the wife is not only so gentle and graceful, empathetic, even the maid is so innocent, I really envy others. Let's go, the food of Wenyuan Pavilion is waiting for us, now that the money bag is available, what else is there to say. Zhang Siwei bumped Zhu Ping'an's shoulder and joked with a smile.

"Two brothers, lead the way."

Zhu Ping'an stretched out his hand and invited with a smile. (To be continued......)
