Chapter 856： reward

Chapter 856 Reward

June is the hottest time of summer, even at night.

Ting Yuxuan's third-class little girls brought two buckets of cold well water from the deep well in the backyard every other incense stick, and sprinkled it in the yard, using the evaporation of the cold well water to lower the temperature .

There were seven or eight basins of ice in the house, especially in the study. Seeing that it was almost melted, a girl brought a new ice basin to replace it.

Zhu Pingan and Li Shu were playing chess in the study to cool off. There were several plates of fruits on hand. The fruits near Zhu Ping’s hands were pulled out with cold water from a deep well, and then cut into plates. The reason why they didn’t use ice was because they were frozen Fruit is not good for the stomach.

The fruit bowls in Li Shu's hands are all at room temperature, and they also contain warm fruits such as oranges and peaches.

At the beginning, the two played chess normally, but as the game progressed, the chess began to take on a fantasy color.

"Uh, how did you fly bishops and pawns at the same time?"

Zhu Ping'an watched Li Shu holding an elephant in one hand and a **** in the other, taking a step each at the same time, and suddenly smiled speechlessly.

This scene is not unfamiliar. I played chess with Li Shu when I just won the lift. Li Shu also recited the mantra of past life to revive the chess pieces that Zhu Pingan had eaten.

"Because mine are elephant cavalry, specially conscripted from Annan."

Li Shu held her cheeks in her slender hands, looked at Zhu Ping'an, and blinked innocently, showing how cute she was.

"Uh, okay."

Zhu Pingan glanced at Li Shu, and with just one glance, he was defeated and surrendered. From Zhu Ping's point of view, he not only saw Li Shu blinking and acting cute, but also saw Li Shu's goose-yellow tube top. .

Why does it feel bigger again?

"Hey, it's your turn"

Li Shu urged her coquettishly, but she didn't notice Zhu Ping'an's eyes, otherwise Zhu Ping'an would be stared at again.

Zhu Ping'an was dazzled by Li Shu's leaked spring. Hearing Li Shu's urging, he made a guilty move and just put the cannon on Li Shu's mouth.

"Heck, I want to shoot a cannon." Li Shu smiled like a flower, stretched out her slender hands to pinch the cannon, and hit Zhu Ping'an's cannon.

I want to shoot. Cannon?

Li Shu will definitely not know the meaning of this sentence in modern times, but Zhu Ping'an is very clear. After hearing Li Shu's words, Zhu Ping'an immediately thought of some pictures that are not suitable for children. When you laugh, the flowers and branches tremble, and the spring light leaks out. Let Zhu Pingan hear it in his ears and keep it in his heart, and see it in his eyes, and it is also warm in his heart

The little goblin!

For a while, Zhu Ping'an's heart was beating violently, his whole body seemed to be on fire, and his throat was a little dry.

After silently reciting the Great Compassion Mantra several times, the fire in my heart was extinguished.

"Hey, it's your turn again."

Li Shu stretched out her little feet playfully, and lightly kicked Zhu Ping'an's thigh under the table.

With one kick, Zhu Ping'an's heart fire that had been extinguished after reciting the Great Compassion Mantra several times was rekindled.

Grandma, don't you feel that you kicked in the wrong place? !

"Ahem. Good."

Zhu Pingan arched his waist slightly, coughed twice with a flushed face, and made a casual move.

One ebbs and another grows.

Li Shu's own home field advantage, coupled with the advantages of elephant cavalry and master pawns, gave Zhu Pingan to the general after a few rounds.

"Idiot, if you were like this earlier"

Li Shu thought that Zhu Ping'an deliberately let her win this time, and she couldn't help but think of the scene of playing chess last time, when Zhu Ping'an borrowed books from home after Zhongju, played chess with him, and won consecutively This idiot did not let him win two rounds, causing him to use Dumbo and Master Pawns. If this idiot learned to let himself earlier, maybe it would have been earlier.

Thinking of this, Li Shu couldn't help casting a blinding glance at Zhu Pingan with her big watery eyes, and her small cherry mouth curled up in an upward arc.

Uh

so early?

Zhu Ping'an was taken aback, thinking that Li Shu found out that he had peeked at it, but seeing Li Shu's reaction, he realized that it was not the case.

After thinking about it for a while, she realized that Li Shu had mistakenly thought that she had let her go.

fine.

Zhu Pingan exhaled.

"Come again."

After winning a game, Li Shu excitedly set up the chessboard again, as if she wanted to win all the games she lost to Zhu Pingan.

While the two were playing the second game of chess, Baozi's little maid, Hua'er, jolted in from outside.

"My lord, miss, just now the concierge sent word that someone from the palace has brought two big baskets of fruit to my aunt."

Baozi’s little maid said excitedly.

"At this time, someone from the palace will deliver fruit?"

Palace? Zhu Pingan was startled when he heard the words, was it a reward from Emperor Jiajing? Why are you enjoying the fruit at night? There should be a curfew outside right now? !

"What's so strange about this is that the fruits presented by the south are all sent to the capital at a fast pace. How fast can you catch as many pieces as you can? Let alone this time, it may even be early in the morning. They have to be sent to the palace while they are fresh. The curfew will not stop it. Every year at this time, the holy majesty will reward some of the ministers at the bottom when he receives the donated fruits. Yesterday morning, the holy majesty rewarded the meritorious generals with fresh melons and fruits, and the mansion was divided into a basket of Jiangnan honey Peach."

When Li Shu heard that the palace had sent Zhu Pingan two baskets of fruit, she could not help but smile.

Yesterday morning, the mansion received the peaches that were rewarded by the palace. The old lady and auntie were so happy, they couldn’t stop saying thank you for the grace of the Holy Spirit, and remember these heroes.

Miss San and Miss Six are also honorable. They are full of superiority in front of Li Shu, and they can’t stop saying that the peaches in Jiangnan are the best, especially the imperial peaches are delicious. It's delicious, only senior members above the third rank have this kind of benefit, other people can't eat it if they want to eat it, last year they only ate it once, and they can't forget it.

Show off the sense of superiority all morning

Is there anything to show off!

Yesterday, after inviting An to come back, Li Shu casually threw a peach that was allocated to the accompanying girl to eat.

Soon, several strong women carried two large baskets of fruit into Ting Yuxuan, one basket of Jiangnan peaches, and one basket of Annan longan.

The baskets are very big and solid. One basket can hold five or six baskets of fruit.

also understand clearly.

The fresh fruits tributed by Jiangnan were sent to the palace before today’s curfew. Emperor Jiajing was very happy after tasting them, and ordered the middle officials to give some of the fruits to the two prince teachers, and each prince’s teacher gave a basket of fresh fruits.

Zhu Ping'an gave lectures to the two princes today, and he can be regarded as the teacher of the two princes, and happened to have a share.

Because every teacher of the prince gave a basket, Zhu Pingan took advantage of the gap. As Teacher Yuwang, he got one basket, and as Teacher Jingwang, he got another basket. At once, he got two baskets.

"I just talked about Annan, and Annan's longan has arrived. At this time, Jiangnan's longan will not be ripe for more than a month." After Li Shu looked at the fruit, her pretty face was even more smiling. A girl picked up a basket of peaches and longan each, and sent them to the old lady and the aunt respectively.

"Oh, by the way, since it is the fruit bestowed by the emperor, the second sister, third sister, fourth sister, and sixth sister will also send a basket to try something new. Doesn't the sixth sister love Jiangnan peaches? Tell her, If it’s not enough, let her send someone over to get it.”

Li Shu patted her little hands, and told the girl below, her eyes were bent into two sweet crescent moons.
