"Miss, it's so hot in Qiuhu, let's go back to the room. Two basins of ice placed here are of no use."
The little maid Baozi was kneeling on the soft couch, with a small basin of half-melted ice cubes in front of her. She held a folding fan in her slender hand and gently sent the cool breeze to her young lady who was lying lazily on the soft couch reading a book.
The room seemed to be very hot. The bun girl fanned herself with one hand and wiped the sweat from the baby's fat face with the other. Finally, she couldn't help but puffed her mouth and suggested to her young lady who was reading with gusto, her eyes full of expectation.
Li Shu was lazily lying on the soft couch, wearing a pink skirt. The pleats of the skirt were like snow and the moonlight flowed to the ground. It was embroidered with a dancing blue butterfly and a dark purple thread. The wide belt is tied with a bow to tighten the slender waist, making the figure slimmer and giving people a sense of agility.
At this time, Li Shu held a scroll in one hand and twisted a black grape in the other hand and slowly put it into her lips. Finally, she flattened her mouth and said:
"My father is arty and spends money like water to decorate the study so well. If I don't stay for a while, wouldn't it be a pity for this elegant room?"
After hearing what her young lady said, the little maid Baozi wilted like an eggplant beaten by frost.
After Zhu Pingan said goodbye to Uncle Li, the concierge, he walked to the study by a familiar route. But when Zhu Ping'an walked to the study, he almost didn't recognize the study. A cluster of green bamboo was transplanted into the originally empty space outside the study, and this stubborn stone stood in front of the green bamboo. The four outer walls of the study are covered with ivy and there are many flowers in bloom.
If it weren't for the plaque hanging on the door, which was exactly the same as before, Zhu Ping'an would not have dared to enter. Just looking at the outside, he would have thought it was the Li family's girl's boudoir.
"Uncle Wang, I'm here to borrow books again."
Zhu Ping'an shouted and entered the study. As soon as he entered, he found that the study had also changed drastically.
Not far from the main entrance of the study, there is a pot of pine and cypress bonsai, as well as two pots of gladioli. Together with the gravel and green grass, it makes the study more natural and lush. The study room is also decorated with Bisha cabinets, screens, bamboo curtains, curtains and other items. Vases, cauldrons, and guqins look more beautiful, quiet, and elegant than ever before.
The study also has a sense of life. There are five or six koi fish near the window, and there is even a soft couch...
Then. Zhu Pingan and the pair of masters and servants on the soft couch exchanged wide-eyed glances. It seemed that Zhu Pingan's appearance was a bit sudden, so that the pair of masters and servants on the soft couch did not react for a while.
Of course, there was not just this pair of master and servant in the room, there was also an old woman taking a nap on the side, and two little maids boiling water and making tea, but they were all closer to the inside. Zhu Ping'an just didn't discover it right away.
Zhu Ping'an didn't expect there to be so many people in the study, so he was a little stunned for a while.
"What are you looking at, toad Zhu Ping'an? If you look again, believe it or not, I'll have your dog's eyes dug out."
Li Shu, who was half lying on the soft couch, saw Zhu Ping'an staring at her blankly. She couldn't help frowning and scolding. She quickly held the scroll in her slender hands to cover her exposed graceful neck and collarbone.
Who was looking at you? I just didn't expect there to be so many people in the room, so I was stunned for a moment.
Seeing the dark girl covering her neck with a book, Zhu Pingan was very disdainful. Who cares about looking at the neck and collarbone of a yellow-haired girl like you? In the previous life, I saw many young women in short skirts and backless dresses. That one will be interested in you.
"Hey, it's you, a bad guy. I almost didn't recognize it." Baozi's maid Hua'er opened her mouth in surprise, "Why are you willing to wear new clothes? Oh, I almost forgot, you have already passed the exam to become a scholar. Woolen cloth."
Baozi's maid looked at Zhu Ping'an and exclaimed again and again.
The old lady and other little maids who were in the same room were also exclaimed. A few days ago, they heard that Zhu Ping'an, a good storyteller from Xiahe Village who often came to borrow books from the house, was admitted as a scholar, but now he is still very surprised to see it. Out of curiosity, that's a scholar. Scholars are very good in their eyes. They are all called Master.
"Be crowned like a monkey!" Li Shu, a sinister girl, glared hard at Zhu Ping'an, and four words escaped from her lips with disdain.
Zhu Ping'an is almost immune to the venomous tongue of the sinister girl.
"It's just a fluke. I'm here to borrow a book. Why can't I see Uncle Wang who is in charge of the study?" Zhu Ping'an bowed his hands to all the girls. He asked with a silly smile.
"The accountant Wang went out with the master." Baozi's maid Hua'er chirped, "How did you pass the scholar exam? Isn't it difficult? Everyone says you are number one."
Immediately afterwards, several maids chattered and asked many questions.
Sure enough, girls are potential reporters when they gossip.
Zhu Ping'an looked at the curious little Sanba, and raised the corners of his lips slightly. "It was just a fluke."
"hypocritical!"
As soon as Zhu Pingan finished speaking, the disdain in the eyes of the sinister girl over there became even stronger, and she labeled Zhu Pingan as hypocritical again.
Zhu Ping'an smiled faintly at this, she was just a spoiled, self-righteous yellow-haired girl! Then, as usual, I went to the bookshelf on the side to look through books, looking for books that interested me.
It seems that the Li family's collection of books has increased a lot, and there are many annotations of the Four Books and Five Classics that I have not read. What's more, coincidentally, there are also a lot more policy papers, and I just need to study some policy papers. Policy theory in the Tongsheng Examination is not so important yet, but in the future provincial examinations, general examinations, and imperial examinations, policy theory will be a big deal.
"Yeah, miss, wait for me."
While Zhu Pingan was picking out books, the voice of Baozi's maid Hua'er sounded from the side.
"I'm going to change clothes. Don't follow me. You guys too, keep an eye on my things so they don't get taken away by some short-sighted guy."
The dark girl's voice was sinister and pointed.
Zhu Ping'an paused while looking for a book. This girl couldn't be talking about him. Why did he have the inexplicable urge to pull this arrogant and self-righteous girl onto his lap and give her a spanking...
After the sinister girl Li Shu left, some old ladies and little maids came over to pester Zhu Ping'an, the new scholar, to talk about the scientific examination. Their curiosity could no longer be suppressed. Zhu Pingan had no choice but to agree to talk to them after finding a good book.
As soon as Zhu Ping'an picked out a book on commentary, he was urged to speak faster.
Zhu Ping'an had no choice but to tell them about the children's exams, which made them exclaim again and again.
Not long after, the scheming girl came back from outside. When she saw this, she snorted coldly, scaring a room full of maids and old ladies into silence. However, seeing that the scheming girl didn't stop her, she boldly urged Zhu Ping'an to continue. .
When Zhu Pingan saw the scheming girl coming in, he couldn't help but think of the dirty question in the exam, so he stood up and bowed to the scheming girl.
Perhaps Zhu Pingan's action was too sudden, and the sinister girl seemed to be frightened.
"I almost forgot to thank you, girl." Zhu Pingan handed over his hand and said softly, "Thanks to the girl for this exam."
"Wha...what?" The dark girl's eyes were a little wandering, and her pretty face was slightly flushed.
"The dirty question that the girl studied last time was lucky enough to be encountered by a certain person in the exam." Zhu Ping'an said in a somewhat grateful tone, one code at a time. Although this girl is black and arrogant...but this is a dirty question. But it was all thanks to her.
"snort"
Hearing this, the dark-faced girl had a proud look on her face, but soon she turned into a standard arrogant and arrogant person looking up at the sky at 45 degrees with no regard for anything. She raised a disdainful expression from the corner of her mouth. Say the word "hum". (To be continued.)
