Chapter 589： It's still the top pick, even a watermelon is cheated

Chapter 589 Returning the No. 1 Scholar, cheating even a watermelon

The sunshine after noon is generous and warm, kissing the rows of buildings and the pedestrians coming and going one by one, bathing every corner of the capital in its grace.

There was a sound of footsteps coming from the door of the palace-style "Baoxiangzhai" restaurant, and then a young man in official uniform came out with the corners of his lips slightly curled up. Looking at the sunshine outside the door, he stretched his waist in satisfaction. Then step slowly into the sunlight.

"What a nerd who doesn't know how to praise!"

The charming young woman upstairs looked at the figure of the boy in the official uniform outside the window, curled her ruddy mouth and rolled her eyes.

"Stupid and boring, empty of the title of champion, I really don't understand, Lan Lan, why do you like this kind of person?" When he was outside the window, he became gentle, and his voice also carried a bit of kind reproach.

Suddenly there was a door knock in the room.

It was originally a wooden wall, but a door suddenly opened, and a pretty girl with a cold face came out from it, and she was visibly angry. She was wearing a luxurious lavender pleated skirt, with red peonies embroidered on the front, two ribbons hanging from her slim waist, and swirling petals embroidered on the skirt. Her jet-black hair was coiled into a flying fairy bun, and a pair of golden phoenix hairpins with pearls on her head were dotted on both sides of the bun, giving the girl an even more noble temperament.

"Who likes him! Sister-in-law, stop talking nonsense!" The girl blushed and said angrily. Although she said it to the charming young woman, her angry eyes looked out the window.

After the girl came out, several maidservants and old mothers came out one after another, all of them looked angry. If it wasn't for the flower that would affect the reputation of the lady just now, they couldn't help but want to come out. A scolding to a certain ignorant young man in the room just now!

Why don’t you want to take a concubine? ! Bah, good idea! If the eldest daughter of our Yan family is your concubine, you are not afraid of losing your life! It is a young lady who is a concubine, who is assigned to the princes and nobles, and the royal relatives are all the grandmothers who are in charge of the family!

Let him retire from being an uneducated country girl, and talk about "seven outs" and "three not to go"! In other words, I lost a lot of book bags!

What a nerd who doesn't know how to praise!

Bah, you have eyes but no eyes! Don't want a lady who is dignified, generous and elegant, but guard an uneducated village flower as a treasure! He really deserves to be a nerd from a mountain village! Go to a dog with long eyes! I don't know how to grasp the opportunity in front of me! He deserves to be questioned by the Ministry of Criminal Justice! Go to the prison and read your sage book!

Especially the maids who served the girl looked out of the window angrily, wishing to open the window and yell at him for being a **** sprinkler.

"Whoever likes knows."

Seeing the girl coming out full of anger, the charming young woman burst out laughing, her bright red lips curled up, and her pair of bright red phoenix eyes seemed to be able to see through the girl's heart.

"Little sister-in-law! Don't make fun of Lan'er, I, Yan Lan, don't like that apprentice!" The girl's eyes widened and she met the eyes of the charming young woman, as if she wanted to show that she had a clear conscience, and her voice raised a bit.

"Hehehe, if you don't like this brat, then why did Father Weng refuse to die when he betrothed you to Ouyang Zishi?"

"I don't like Ouyang Zishi! Dad allowed me to choose my own son-in-law." Yan Lan raised her voice to defend.

"Besides, I don't promise to be engaged to Ouyang Zishi, and it doesn't mean I like that apprentice!" Yan Lan said and stared out the window, as if there was her deep-rooted enemy outside.

"You can fool yourself, but you can't fool me." The charming young woman's bright red phoenix eyes seemed to see through the girl's heart, pointing at the girl, then pointing at herself and whispering.

"I, Yan Lan, like no one will like that sinister and cunning apprentice!" Yan Lan walked to the window angrily, looked at someone's back and said like a curse.

"Sinister and cunning?"

The charming young woman was taken aback when she heard the words, and carefully recalled Zhu Pingan's speech and behavior after she came in. No matter how you look at it, she is a well-behaved, dull nerd, so she shook her head in disbelief, "That dull nerd, No matter how you look at it, it has nothing to do with insidiousness and cunning."

"Sister-in-law, you were deceived by the simple and honest appearance of that apprentice!" Yan Lan looked at the appearance of the charming young woman, and couldn't help but think of the apprentice who watched her bathing but pretended to drink too much and the light was not good enough to not see The scene of deceiving himself made him grit his teeth in hatred.

"What?" The bright black eyes of the charming young woman lit up.

"That apprentice is used to this trick!" The girl said angrily.

"Isn't it?" The charming young woman said to herself, and then turned her gaze out of the window.

"Huh?" Seeing the scene outside the window, the charming young woman couldn't help but gasp.

"What's wrong?" Yan Lan didn't ask when she saw this.

"What do you think that brat is going to do? It seems that he wants to help him sell melons?" The charming young woman looked out of the window and said softly with some doubts, "The melon seller has been downstairs for a long time, and he hasn't sold a single melon. .”

"It really is"

Yan Lan couldn't help walking to the window when she heard the words, and looked out of the window from an angle that could not be seen from the outside. In her sight, Zhu Ping'an was standing in front of the old man selling melons and talking. The old man didn't believe it. It seemed as if he really wanted to help the old man sell melons.

Other people in the room also came over.

The distance is not far. If you listen carefully, you can vaguely hear the voices outside, and you can vaguely hear the conversation between Zhu Pingan and the old man.

"Don't worry, old man. I have a method to sell your watermelon quickly. You can also spend it according to this method in the next few days, and then you will have the gift money for your son."

After Zhu Ping went downstairs, he planned to buy two watermelons from the old watermelon seller. Seeing that the old melon seller was very leisurely and had no business, he seemed to have a lot on his mind. When he was picking watermelons, he chatted with the old man. Know the current situation of the old man.

The old man’s family spent a lot of time, energy and money. They didn’t even go out to work as part-time workers. They just pointed to the watermelon that was on the market in advance to save money for the eldest son as a wife, but the watermelon couldn’t be sold.

The watermelon is big and sweet, but it cannot be sold because of the price. It's just where the cost is, and the price can't come down! As a result, the current unsalable situation has been caused. If it can't be sold anymore, the watermelon will be ruined, let alone the son's bride price, it will be lost.

Helping others is the foundation of happiness.

After learning about the old man's difficulties, Zhu Pingan thought for a while and thought of a way, and told the old man that there was a way to help him sell the watermelon quickly.

After hearing Zhu Ping'an's voice, not to mention that the old melon seller didn't believe it, there was an impossible sound in the room.

"He's bragging, he should sell it quickly. How is it possible? The one downstairs is a farmer who grows melons outside the city. I bought some watermelons from him yesterday. Although his watermelons ripen early, they are expensive. It’s dead, it’s five or six times more expensive than usual watermelons, and no one buys expensive ones.”

"That's right, it's so expensive that it's as good as meat. Except for a few bought by our house yesterday, the melon seller didn't sell a single melon all day long."

"That nerd is trying to cheat the old man's watermelons. I saw the old man selling melons early this morning, and he hasn't sold any of them so far."

"He's still the No. 1 Scholar. He even lied to a watermelon. That old man is pitiful enough. He's really shameless."

There were a few maids and mothers in the room who knew the inside story, and they talked in a hurry.
