Early in the morning of the first day of the first lunar month, Zhu Youning, who slept late last night, had not yet gotten up when there was a knock on the door.

She vaguely heard some movement, turned over and continued to be confused, Bai Ling went to the bed and said softly: "Girl, the young master of the fourth room is here, this time he is talking with the master in the main house, and the wife asked the slave to call you up." ”

Zhu Youning fell asleep, and it took a while to realize who Young Master Ping was.

One rolled over and sat up, rubbed his eyes and asked, "Who is here?" Is it Young Master Ping himself, or is he bringing someone else? ”

"Back to the girl, Young Master Ping only brought a small servant."

Zhu Youning nodded, and when he washed and changed, he was still thinking: Why didn't Zhu Youan come with Zhu Yanping. Even if these two people are not in harmony again, with the fourth wife and the fourth master, they should be able to make a face for the New Year.

When Zhu Youning came to the main house, Zhu Yanping sat upright on the circle chair, chatting with Zhu Huating about the poems and books in a serious manner, while Bai listened with a smile on the side.

Seeing Zhu Youning enter the door, Zhu Yanping's eyes lit up, and he looked like he was finally saved, and said with a smile: "Ninth sister." ”

"Brother Ping, have a good New Year."

"You also have a good New Year. I've brought some fruit and snacks for you to eat later. ”

"Thank you, cousin Ping, for still thinking about me. I also wanted to go to you to pay New Year's greetings, but I slept late at the vigil last night, and I didn't expect you to come first. ”

"Wouldn't it be the same if I came first?" Zhu Yanping squeezed his eyes at Zhu Youning, "How are you practicing your handwriting?" ”

As soon as Zhu Youning saw Zhu Yanping's appearance, he knew that he must have been calmed by Zhu Huating's seriousness when he talked about the Four Books and the Five Classics.

Zhu Huating loves to read, so he hopes that the juniors around him can also read more. Zhu Youning often pestered her father to teach her to read, but not everyone likes to listen to this.

Most young people of Zhu Yanping's age can't sit still.

People are kind enough to come to pay New Year's greetings, but it's not good for him to continue to listen to the lectures, Zhu Youning also happened to have something to ask him, so he cooperated: "I've been practicing all these days, do you want to see if there is any progress in what I write?" ”

"Okay!" Zhu Yanping agreed quickly.

"Okay, you brothers and sisters can play by yourself."

Zhu Huating, he also knows the children of the Zhu family, but those who learn to do business rarely have the heart to study poetry and books, but asking a few words of homework has already made Zhu Yanping sweat in the winter, and he is not willing to force him.

Zhu Yanping was like being amnestied, and happily followed Zhu Youning out of the door.

Bai Shi looked at the backs of the two children, and couldn't help laughing: "I didn't expect Fu Ya'er and Brother Ping to play together." In the past, Fu Ya'er was quiet and afraid of life, but now it has changed so much that even I, a mother, are surprised. ”

"Yes, children's temperament is the most malleable. Fu Ya'er is also tired of me, I am incompetent as a father, she is smart, if she doesn't use her skills, what can she do? ”

"Master, don't say that." Bai Shi held Zhu Huating's hand distressedly.

Zhu Huating smiled movingly and said, "Don't worry, I've already seen it." Now that our family can be together, Fu Ya'er is sensible, your body is also healthy, whether you give birth to a brother or sister in the future, as long as our family is safe together, I will be content. ”

When Bai heard this, he thought of his eldest son Zhu Yanqing, who died young, and tears welled up in an instant, and he was afraid that Zhu Huating would also be sad, so he hurriedly wiped his face with the back of his hand and changed the topic with a smile.

"I think Brother Ping'er's character is not bad, and it's also a good thing that Fu Ya'er can have a few more brothers and sisters who are good friends."

Zhu Huating also knew what the Bai family was thinking, but he didn't want to say much about the past, so he made the Bai family sad, so he also followed her words and said: "Child, how many are born bad?" It's just that the environment of the Zhu family is too bad. ”

Zhu Youning and Zhu Yanping arrived at her room and retreated, so Zhu Youning asked, "Cousin Ping, why didn't my sixth sister come with you today?" ”

Zhu Yanping said: "Because of her instigation, my mother is still angry, so she will be punished for copying books." ”

After that, he also felt that the fourth wife had gone too far, and Zhu Yanping hurriedly added: "Sister Mi is also copying books, and my mother is now disciplining them all the same." ”

Zhu Youning nodded and said, "It's hard for the fourth wife." ”

Zhu Yanping waved his hand and flipped up Zhu Youning's words.

Zhu Youning sat on the side of the pestle and pondered, and said for a while: "Brother Ping, there is something I still want to bother you more." ”

Zhu Yanping looked up curiously: "Okay, you say." ”

"My sixth sister has been pampered by my aunt since she was a child, and you know the temperament of my father and my mother, and he treats the child the most gently, so my sixth sister's temperament is very arrogant, and she likes to compare, easy to be jealous, she is now afraid that she has attracted your mother's hatred in your family, if it is possible in the future, you can help take care of it, don't ask someone to make her out of three long and two short."

Zhu Youning sighed and stood up and saluted Zhu Yan.

Zhu Yanping was a little surprised, and said for a while: "I thought you wished she was dead." After all, she hurt you last time, but she didn't care if you were dead or alive. I can't believe that you are still a big-hearted person. ”

"You repay me with virtue?" Zhu Youning smiled and waved his hand, "If I only look at her, I won't pay attention to it so much." The reason why I beg you is also for my father. Or do you really think I'm going to take care of her? ”

Zhu Yanping also knows about some of the Yin Si in the long room, Zhu Youning's brother-in-law died strangely, Zhu Huating has a total of three children, one of them went away due to an accident, the blow he experienced is really not small, and his daughter is not angry, that is also Zhu Huating's bloodline, in case something happens to Zhu You'an, Zhu Huating is afraid that he will have to suffer a lot of blows.

Zhu Yanping said: "Okay, I can help you, but I never help people in vain." ”

"If Cousin Ping has any orders, just say it, I will do my best to do what I can." Hearing Zhu Yanping talk about the conditions, Zhu Youning was not only not annoyed, but felt down-to-earth.

It's only fair to exchange with each other and help each other, and you don't have to worry about each other's favors in the future.

Such a clear end reassured both of them.

Zhu Yanping said: "I know you are smart, I didn't compare to you at the conference last year, I didn't get the industry, my skills are not as good as others, and there is nothing to complain about if I lose, I just think, if I don't understand anything in the future, come and ask you, you can help me think of ideas, and I can learn from you." In the competition at the end of this year, if I can't get the property, I guess my grandfather will be able to pick my skin. ”

It turned out to be for this.

Zhu Youning laughed and said briskly: "Okay, then let's make a decision, I'll help you think of ideas, you help me take care of my sixth sister, if something happens to you, you really can't do anything, I won't force you to do anything, you just need to come and tell me." ”

"Deal." Zhu Yanping raised his hand with a smile,

Zhu Youning made an agreement with him three high-fives.
