Chapter 534: Shi Wen and Wan Jin

Chapter 534 Ten articles and ten thousand gold

There are only ten copper coins, but they are quite heavy, and they weigh heavily in the palm of your hand.

The uncle looked at the ten copper coins in his hand, and then at Zhu Pingan's warm and generous face. His mouth was parted for a while, and he twitched slightly. After opening for a long time, he couldn't utter a word.

"Sending goose feathers from thousands of miles away is light in gift and affectionate. This is my nephew's wish. Uncle, don't refuse. My nephew hereby wishes my uncle the gold medal title and his triumphant return." After Zhu Ping'an stuffed ten copper coins into his uncle's hand, He twitched the corner of his mouth and said something casually.

After hearing Zhu Ping'an's words, the uncle's mouth opened even wider.

After several seconds, the uncle Zhu Shouren came to his senses, looking at the ten copper coin in his hand, his face was full of disgust. What's the point of having ten cents enough? It's not even enough for a pot of tea to go to a restaurant! You are the No. 1 scholar of the Ming Dynasty, the sixth rank of the Hanlin Academy, and you have the nerve to take out ten coins, which made your uncle Zhu Shouren very disgusted.

"Uncle, don't you think it's too little?" Zhu Pingan narrowed his eyes slightly, taking in all the expressions of his uncle Zhu Shouren.

"No." The uncle smiled dryly.

Zhu Ping'an encountered pirates and shipwrecks at sea a few days ago. Everyone knows that Zhu Ping'an was able to choose his life to come back. I am really thankful. Everyone can understand that Zhu Pingan can't come up with money, and we can't ask for too much.

However, uncle Zhu Shouren is not someone who gives up easily.

"Hey son, your wife has a lot of money, why don't you ask for it? After the uncle comes back from the exam, he will not be less than you." The uncle Zhu Shouren stood there and looked at Zhu Ping'an, then shook his head in Li Shu's direction. Softly reminded Zhu Pingan.

At this moment, Li Shu was being surrounded by her fourth aunt and third aunt who were concerned about what happened to Hai Hai.

Your wife has a lot of money, why don't you ask for it. You don't have money, it doesn't matter, your wife has a lot of money, why don't you ask your wife for some money, and then give it to me. Standing on Zhu Ping'an's standpoint, the uncle put forward a feasible suggestion.

Excellent, uncle!

Uncle used his actual actions to refresh his lower limit again, and once again proved that he is far thicker than ordinary people.

Zhu Ping looked at his uncle quietly, even though he knew that he was a man, but he became shameless, which still surprised Zhu Pingan. Yesterday my uncle failed to conspire with outsiders to seize his own property, the plot was exposed in front of everyone, and he was chased by the old man to repair it, but today the uncle can not only stand in front of me without blushing or panting, and doesn't mention what happened yesterday, And you can also "forced borrowing" calmly. When the "forced borrowing" failed to achieve its goal, the uncle would return the grandiose "Your wife is rich, why don't you ask for it"!

No one has this shame. In other words, if the uncle uses this shameless spirit in other places, it will definitely do something, after all, shamelessness is also an element of success.

"That's right, son, you can ask your wife for some money."

As soon as the uncle's voice fell, the old lady Zhu who was watching closely heard the uncle's proposal, patted her thigh, and followed closely to remind Zhu Ping'an.

彘My daughter-in-law bought four bird's nests, so she must be very rich, and I've heard that the rich man Li in Shanghe Village has a lot of money. If the daughter-in-law leaks something between her fingers, it is enough for the boss to take the exam.

Uh

Grandmother, why is your old man joining in the fun? Also, grandma has always been partial to uncle, and this time is no exception and it is normal.

"What's wrong with your husband?" Seeing this, Li Shu walked over and asked, her voice was very gentle and sweet, which made people feel very comfortable.

Zhu Pingan briefly said to Li Shu in a soft voice.

Oh~~Li Shu nodded, pursed her rosy lips and said "oh", her dark eyes glanced at her uncle and grandmother, and then handed the red envelope to Zhu Ping'an, with a smile on her face like a flower: " Uncle’s exam is a big deal, so of course I have to support it. This is a gift from my grandmother just now, and it’s very heavy to touch. It must be a good thing my grandmother gave me, and it must be worth a lot of money. My husband will give it to my uncle on my behalf. Bar."

After hearing Li Shu's words, Mrs. Zhu looked away unnaturally, her face flushed slightly.

"Uncle is preparing for the exam with peace of mind. We are all one family. Don't talk about repaying the money." Zhu Pingan stuffed the red envelope into the hands of his uncle Zhu Shouren again, curling the corners of his lips very generously.

The red envelope fell into the hand, and it was exactly the same weight as the first ten coins.

Another ten pennies!

The uncle opened his mouth wide again, and he knew what was inside as soon as he touched it. Is it true that the whole family does not enter the house? I give ten coins to my son, and my daughter-in-law also gives ten coins!

"Oh, by the way, Uncle, my father mentioned this morning that he gave Uncle three pennies of money for money the day before yesterday. The copper coins are too heavy to carry on the road. Uncle, don't forget to change it into silver."

Seeing that the uncle was still about to speak, Zhu Pingan spoke first. Just listening to the conversation between the uncle and the grandfather, I knew that the uncle did not tell the grandfather about the money from the father. The three strings of money that my father gave to my uncle behind my mother's back were the private money that my father had worked so hard to save for a year. In this regard, the uncle didn't even mention it. Zhu Ping'an felt that it was necessary to let his grandfather and grandmother know what his father had done. Sheng's grandfather and grandmother thought that his father did not care about brotherhood.

"Brother, didn't you say you were penniless yesterday?" The fourth aunt raised her voice and asked.

Grandfather and grandmother also turned their eyes to the uncle, examining, exploring and questioning.

"Ahem, if I hadn't reminded you, I would have almost forgotten the three pennies." The uncle coughed, his face neither red nor out of breath, and he looked like he just remembered.

After this incident, the uncle never mentioned borrowing money again.

But although the matter of borrowing money is not mentioned anymore, the uncle has other ideas.

"Xi'er is now the number one scholar and works in the Hanlin Academy. I must have many acquaintances in the official circles of Nanzhili. How about writing a few invitations in your name, and my uncle will visit you for you and walk around." The uncle touched Touching his beard, he looked at Zhu Ping'an and said.

After hearing this, Mr. Zhu turned his attention to Zhu Pingan, thinking that if Zhu Pingan helped his eldest son find a relationship as the champion, the exam should be easier.

"I made my uncle laugh. I'm just entering the official career, and I don't have any old acquaintances in Nanzhili." Zhu Pingan glanced at the uncle, a little speechless. The uncle is still thinking of relying on connections to go through the back door. You don't study hard for the imperial examinations. Just thinking about what these crooked ways are doing.

"Oh..." the uncle looked at Zhu Ping'an and sighed forcefully, shaking his head, with a posture of hating iron for nothing and putting himself in Zhu Ping's shoes, "Pu'er is now entering an official career, sophistication is the most important thing. Your age, pup You are still young, and there are still shortcomings in this journey. Do you know, my son, that your memorial has caused disaster. If you have offended Mr. Yan, if there is no one to help you, this time will be a disaster. You can write a few greeting cards, Uncle took the time to visit a few adults for you, and someone would help you to talk to Master Yan, and the big things will be turned into small things."

"Don't bother uncle. The imperial examination is a big deal. Uncle still concentrates on preparing for the imperial examination. If the uncle's examination is delayed because of Xi'er's matter, Xi'er will not bear it." Zhu Pingan shook his head.

Uh, uncle is a little confused.

Seeing Mr. Zhu's disappointing eyes, Zhu Pingan couldn't bear it. Mr. Zhu really wanted his uncle to succeed in the imperial examination. For his grandfather's sake, Zhu Pingan thought about it and said to his uncle Zhu Shouren: "By the way, uncle, you son There are still more than ten books at home with notes and sentiments written down after reading the Four Books and Five Classics, and uncle can take them with him when he leaves, so that he can read them when he has nothing to do on the road, and briefly summarize his contempt, or it can be used for uncle to pass the time on the road."

The uncle shook his head disinterestedly when he heard the words, "Uncle brought Zhu Zi's annotations, I'm afraid there is no extra time on the road, and I will read the notes from the notes after the uncle comes back from the exam."

Okay, the pearl is cast in secret, and the piano is played against the cow.

If it wasn't for the sake of his grandfather, Zhu Ping'an would not have lent these notes and insights to his uncle, but at this moment, in Zhu Ping's eyes, things that are worth tens of thousands of gold, his uncle dismissed them.

If the twisted melon is not sweet, forget it.
