Chapter 295 You also participated in the general examination
Xiong's words, Zhu Ping'an will naturally not take it to heart, and if Li Shu is really married to her aunt's family, as Xiongzi said, I am afraid that I will be very happy. It's just that now we have to wait for Li Shu to propose a divorce.
However, the virtuous conduct of a bear child still needs education. After all, small trees don't repair or straighten, and people don't repair.
Of course, there is no rush.
Fatty Zhou was originally going to eat at the table of the old lady of the Hou Mansion, but because of the presence of an outsider, Zhu Ping'an, the old lady of the Hou Mansion still asked Fatty Zhou to eat at the table of Zhu Ping'an. After all, "seven years, men and women sit on different seats and eat different utensils", you still have to pay attention to it in front of outsiders.
"Who is this younger sister?" Fatty Zhou found Li Shu when he arrived at Zhu Ping'an's table.
"This is from your third uncle's house, Zijuan, go and share each of these dishes on the table, my monkeys love to eat them." The old lady of the Hou Mansion just introduced it casually, and then stopped The big girl next to her asked her to share the dishes that Zhou Fatty liked to eat on their table.
It seems that Li Shu is not valued by the old lady in the Hou Mansion.
"Oh, so it's Sister Shu'er, um, I haven't seen you for a few years, and Sister Shu'er has become more and more outstanding." Fatty Zhou stroked his chin, and looked up and down at Li Shu with his small eyes.
"Brother Yan Zhou." Li Shu smiled, but she didn't have the slightest affection for this cousin in her heart.
Fatty Zhou, whose full name is Li Yanzhou, is the eldest son of Li Tingzhu's family. On the eighteenth year of this year, she is already engaged, and the object of the engagement is the third lady of the Dingyuan Hou Mansion, who is the second wife of the Dingyuan Hou Mansion.
Soon, Zijuan directed the little maid to divide up the meals, rearrange them, and walked to the old lady to report.
"Well, okay, my monkey is too hungry for this exam, so hurry up and take the seat."
After hearing Zijuan's report that the food has been prepared, the old lady waved her hand and ordered the meal to be served.
Sure enough, he is his grandson. When Fatty Zhou came, eight more dishes were added to the table, including shark fin bird's nest and so on.
In addition to eating a lot, this Hou's mansion is also very ostentatious. For example, when each of them eats, there are servant girls serving them. When it is time, I will send it up thoughtfully.
Of course, Zhu Pingan did not.
There were a lot of food, and Zhu Pingan was not polite. In the days of the examination room, relying on bad names, he couldn't eat well, and he couldn't eat enough, and he also felt nauseated. So now that there are such rich food, Zhu Pingan will naturally not be polite.
Miss Six of the Hou's Mansion glanced at Zhu Ping'an during the meal, and then despised Zhu Ping'an. Sure enough, he is a bumpkin, as if he has never eaten. Although he is popular and not ugly, he eats too much, what a bumpkin!
"Have you not eaten for a few days?" Fatty Zhou, who was sitting opposite, looked at Zhu Pingan's appetite with disdain on his fat face.
"It's been nine days and seven nights, and I haven't eaten much." Zhu Pingan put down his chopsticks, swallowed the crystal elbow in his mouth, and replied.
"Nine days and seven nights? What are you doing? It's also nine days and seven nights." Fatty Zhou squinted his small eyes and asked with some disdain.
This country bumpkin actually spent seven days and nine nights, which was the same as me taking the exam, except that I was taking the exam. I don’t know what this bumpkin was doing, but it was also seven days and nine nights. At the same time, why do you feel that it is so out of class?
Fatty Zhou squinted his eyes, he was too disdainful of Zhu Pingan, and even felt ashamed of having the same nine days and seven nights as Zhu Pingan.
"In front of the gate of the Gongyuan, the demeanor of Brother Li's kiss is still vaguely echoing in my mind."
Zhu Pingan picked up a cup of tea, took a sip, and aftertaste for a while, looked at Fatty Zhou opposite and replied with a faint smile.
In front of the Gongyuan Gate? kissed?
"You also participated in the test?" Fatty Zhou asked in amazement, his voice was a bit loud because he was so surprised.
You also took part in the examination?
The voice of this sentence was loud and abrupt, and it was difficult not to attract people's attention, so everyone at the table next door to the old lady in the Hou's Mansion could hear it clearly. Hearing Fatty Zhou say that the country bumpkin also participated in the examination, the old lady of the Hou Mansion and the others were very surprised at the table. They thought that Zhu Ping'an was just a poor scholar from the countryside, but they didn't expect that he was a Juren who participated in the examination. It doesn't look that old at this age, but they are all Juren. Judging from his conditions, it would definitely not be the Imperial Academy like Fatty Zhou, whose family came forward to find a relationship to donate money. He could only take the exam by himself. I didn't expect this bumpkin to be a juren.
Actually, when rich man Li sent someone to say that Li Shu was betrothed, the person made it clear that Li Shu’s betrothed was a peasant family in the countryside. It was just because Mrs. Hou Fu was going to tell Li Shu that her natal son was very angry when she heard the news that Li Shu was engaged. She was so angry that she didn't listen to Juren who passed the exam later, but just remembered the villager's family , I just passed the Xiucai exam this year.
After listening to Fatty Zhou's words, Li Shu twitched the corners of her lips slightly. Looking at the bowl of bird's nest porridge in front of her, she suddenly had a big appetite. She lightly grasped the end of the spoon with her slender hands, and slowly Picking up the exquisite Wan'er, she drank only half a tablespoon of soup in one gulp, without making a sound. Then he touched his lips with a handkerchief, showing a slight smile, as if he was quite satisfied with the bird's nest porridge.
"Well, when we lined up, it was not far behind Brother Li." Zhu Ping'an nodded.
"Then how did you do in the exam?" After hearing that Zhu Ping'an also took the exam, Fatty Zhou thought highly of Zhu Ping'an, at least the disdain in his squinting eyes was not so strong.
"During the exam, I was assigned a bad number." Zhu Pingan didn't answer Fatty Zhou's question directly.
"Hahaha, then you are miserable. How can you continue to write in the stinking account? It has been hundreds of years. Those who have been assigned to the stinking account have not yet passed the exam. People in that environment are almost stink to death. How can you answer the question?" Hahaha!" Fatty Zhou pointed at Zhu Ping'an and laughed gloatingly. He could not find his smiling eyes, and his disdainful eyes became a little stronger.
It turned out to be assigned to the stinking number, so don't count on this Enke test. It's been hundreds of years, and I haven't heard of anyone who scored in the stinking test.
All the female relatives at the table of the old lady of Hou's mansion looked at Zhu Ping'an with a little more disdain. This unlucky and miserable bumpkin, depending on his luck, don't expect to try anything in the future. So what if this country bumpkin is a juren, he has no money and no power, he will wait in line and miss his next life. A small juren, in this capital, Mao is not even considered, and nine out of ten of the bricks hit are officials, what is his little juren!
Facing Fatty Zhou's ridicule, Zhu Ping'an just smiled lightly, and then went on to eat.
I can still eat it! Dude, you have a thick skin!
Ms. Li of the Hou Mansion curled her lips, and rolled her eyes at Zhu Pingan who was eating as if nothing had happened.
