Rise From the Humble

Chapter 173: The third son of the Li family

  Chapter 173 The third child of the Li family

  Under the supervision of his mother, Mrs. Chen, Zhu Pingan read the books all morning. In the afternoon, Mrs. Chen asked Zhu Pingan to return the books to the Li family in Shanghe Village.

Zhu Pingan had just left the house on his front foot, and he didn't go far. When he turned around, he saw his mother, Mrs. Chen, holding a shoe sole and carrying a needle and thread. Looking at the direction of her mother, she knew that her mother, Mrs. Chen, was looking for a crowded village again. The place is showing off.

  Uh, my lord mother...

  Zhu Ping'an looked at his mother's cheerful back, and silently made up his mind that Enke must win this time.

  Watching his mother's back disappear around the corner, Zhu Ping'an went all the way to Shanghe Village with his schoolbag on his shoulders.

"Hehe, I guessed that Mr. Zhu was coming, and I guessed it right. Please come in quickly, Mr. Zhu." The concierge of the Li family, Uncle Li, opened the door before Zhu Ping'an knocked. The enthusiasm of the face.

  Although Uncle Li, the concierge, has called Mr. Zhu several times, Zhu Pingan is still not used to it. He expressed his thanks to Uncle Li, the concierge, with a wry smile.

  From the attitude of the concierge Uncle Li, it can be seen that "everything is inferior, only reading is high" is not a false statement. Scholars, especially those with fame and status, still have a high status in Ming Dynasty. Perhaps, the middle and late Ming Dynasty should be the time when the status of scholars in China was the highest since ancient times. According to historical records, in the first year of Longqing, the magistrate of Wuxi was unpopular because of an incident, which caused the students to make noise, and was spat on by the students! Also in this year, the neighbor of Wuxi county magistrate, the magistrate of Changzhou, was beaten by students from five counties because he offended the students, and almost died. From these two incidents, it can be clearly seen how high the status of scholars in the Ming Dynasty was. If they provoke scholars of my generation, even the magistrates and magistrates can beat them.

  In such a dynasty, how could one not study hard.

  After bidding farewell to the concierge, Uncle Li, Zhu Ping'an went straight to the study, not sure if the accountants had checked the accounts. When he entered the study, the study was very quiet, and it seemed that the accounts had been checked.

  Walking into the study room, the study room is spacious and bright, and the door is gone to take care of the study room, er, the Wang accountant, only a young servant is there.

   "Master Zhu has come to return the book."

  Zhu Ping'an has never seen this boy. But this little servant recognized Zhu Pingan right away, probably because Zhu Pingan was the only one who could come to the study of rich man Li's house except the Li family.

   "Well, thank you." Zhu Pingan nodded, and took out the book he borrowed last time from his schoolbag. Put it on the table.

   "I have to ask Zhu Pingan to register, I can't read, I just act as Uncle Wang for a while." The boy stood up with an apologetic expression on his face.

   "I'm the one who caused trouble for you." Zhu Ping'an smiled slightly, leaned over and recorded the books he returned in the book one by one with a brush.

   "Young Master Zhu is really a kind man." The servant looked grateful. He stretched out his hand and asked Zhu Pingan to go to the study to borrow it, "My lord, please do yourself a favor. I'll go find Uncle Wang right now."

   "Thank you." Zhu Pingan arched his hands, and went to the bookshelf to borrow books.

  Zhu Ping'an went to the bookshelf to look for books, but he hadn't seen him for three days. It seemed that the Li family had more books. There was a whole new shelf, and coincidentally, they were all books related to the imperial examination. It is estimated that the rich man Li specially asked someone to buy it in order to express his gratitude. The wealthy businessman really has everything. This made Zhu Pingan admire the rich man Li a little.

   While Zhu Pingan was flipping through the books carefully, he heard footsteps outside the study, as well as noisy and chaotic voices, and soon this noise came into the study.

   "Which one is Zhu Pingan?"

   Immediately afterwards, Zhu Pingan heard this angry shout.

  In other words, I’m the only one in the study, okay? Why use the word “which”? It’s like how many people are in the study.

   "May I ask who you are?" Zhu Pingan came out from behind a few rows of bookshelves, looked at the visitor with folded hands and asked.

  Walking into the study was a middle-school youth about seventeen or eighteen years old, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, round face, big waist and round arms, as strong as a calf. The second-year-old was wearing a black brocade robe, with the sleeves half rolled up, exposing arms as thick as calves, and a pair of brown leather boots on his feet.

  This young man has a second-hand aura, and he can tell he is a muddlehead at a glance, but like the study of the rich man Li, he took a folding fan in an arty manner and pinned it to his belt, which is neither fish nor fowl.

   Behind this person were two servant girls and three servants.

After seeing Zhu Ping'an come out, the man stretched out his fat hand like a bear's claw to Zhu Ping'an with his nostrils upturned, shouting to no one in sight: "Who am I? Hehehe, you come to my house to borrow books and ask who I am? Others They say you're smart. I don't think so."

   Nima

   This bear-like boy turned out to be a certain brother of a black-bellied girl?

   No wonder the black-bellied girl is so arrogant, so it's a family inheritance? ! Uh, by the way, when I was a child, the black-bellied girl once said that she was going to be beaten by her brother, and she was talking about this brother Xiong, right?

   "Third brother, what are you doing? Who told you to come to the study room? You tore up the book when you read it last time. Daddy even grounded you and prevented you from entering the study room."

  At this time, the voice of the black-bellied girl pouting and complaining came from outside, and soon the black-bellied girl appeared in the study wearing a new beautiful dress.

  The black-bellied girl should have come from Trot, her little face was flushed.

  The black-bellied girl was followed by the panting Baozi little maid Hua'er.

   After entering the room, Hua'er, the little maid of Baozi, looked at the third young master, and at Zhu Ping'an who was standing in front of the bookshelf intact, before letting out a sigh of relief.

  For some reason, Baozi's servant girl, Hua'er, seemed to also hiss when she heard her own lady.

   "Sister, why are you here?" The third brother of the black-bellied girl was aggressive and bear-like just now, but after meeting the black-bellied girl, his aura immediately changed to be gentle like a fat cat basking in the sun.

   "I'm afraid you'll spoil the study again!" The black-bellied girl pouted.

   "Don't worry, after you told dad last time that you beat me up, I don't dare to mess around in the study again." The third brother of the black-bellied girl was full of expressions of flattering the black-bellied girl.

   "Who told you not to read books!" The black-bellied girl snorted.

   "Yes, yes, my sister is doing it for my own good." The third brother of the black-bellied girl had a smile on his face.

   "It's good to know." The black-bellied girl looked up at the sky at forty-five degrees, and said arrogantly.

  Zhu Ping'an stood in front of the bookshelf, watching their siblings interacting boredly. It turned out that this person was the third brother of a girl with a black belly. Now, it seems that the round face with thick eyebrows and big eyes looks a bit like the rich man Li. It's just that it's far from the appearance of a black-bellied girl. Although the black-bellied girl is self-willed, black-bellied, poisonous tongue, snake-like...but her appearance is the most stunning among the girls I have seen in my two lifetimes. If you don't see and hear them with your own eyes, it's hard to associate them with the word brother and sister.

"I've been home for the past two days and I've often heard my father and my sister say you're smart, but I don't believe how smart you are." After interacting with his sister, the youngest of the Li family turned around and challenged Zhu Pingan with his nostrils in the air. open.

   Before Zhu Pingan could speak, someone spoke.

   "Where did you hear me say that he is smart!"

  The black-bellied girl stomped Xiaoman's feet in disbelief, stood on tiptoe, stretched out her slender hand, and grabbed her third brother's ear at once, and the little tiger teeth were exposed.

   I was busy yesterday and couldn't update it. I will try my best to make it up today.
