What it means to be a middle-schooler is to be extremely self-righteous and don't know what it means to give up.
The third child of the Li family was only depressed for a moment about the defeat, and then he continued to compete with Zhu Pingan with high spirits, throwing out problems one by one that he thought were very rare to embarrass Zhu Pingan.
Such as the anagram: "The top goes to the bottom, the bottom goes to the top. The two ends go to the middle, and the two ends go to the middle."
Zhu Ping'an had seen these crossword puzzles on the Internet a long time ago, so he could give the answers without even thinking.
"It's 'to', because the upper end of 'to' is the lower end of 'go', and the lower end of 'to' is the upper end of 'go'. The middle of 'to' is the two ends of 'go', and the two ends of 'to' are' The two ends of 'go', the two ends of 'to' are the middle of 'go'." Zhu Ping'an also pretended to think for a moment before giving the answer calmly and explaining the answer again.
However, this was so beyond the expectations of the third son of the Li family that the third son of the Li family racked his brains and came up with a few questions to embarrass Zhu Pingan, but unfortunately, none of the questions could embarrass Zhu Pingan.
In the end, the third child of the Li family had no choice but to come up with an almost rogue question: "If you jump into a big pit, it is very deep, and there is no one in it. The walls of the pit are very slippery and very strong, and you can't scratch it with your hands." You can't climb up with your bare hands, but you don't have any tools, ropes, knives, or anything else. There's no one outside the pit, and there's nothing inside the pit, what should you do?"
The third son of the Li family eliminated all the imaginable advantages, and after finishing speaking, he looked at Zhu Ping'an with great satisfaction.
"Can I swim?" Zhu Pingan asked calmly.
"There is no water in the pit. As I said just now, there is nothing in the pit." The third son of the Li family emphasized again.
"I can cut a hole in my head with my hands and let the water flow out. Then I can swim and float out of the pit." Zhu Pingan said seriously.
The third son of the Li family shook his head like a rattle, "How can there be so much water in his head!"
"There's no water in my head, why should I jump?" Zhu Pingan glanced at the third child of the Li family and said calmly.
The third son of the Li family...
at last. It was the sinister girl Li Shu who used the name of Rich Man Li to drive the third son of the Li family out of the study.
"Thank you, Miss Li, for rescuing the situation." Zhu Pingan thanked the sinister girl with his hands. If she hadn't kicked her brother out of the study, he would have come up with some weird things to embarrass himself.
"Narcissism, who can help you out? I'm just afraid that my third brother will be angry and destroy my book, hum." The sinister girl looked up at the sky at 45 degrees, and at the end she snorted arrogantly.
What a problem girl.
I borrowed two more books from the Li family. Because Enke was approaching, I put aside the idea of reading miscellaneous books. The two books I borrowed this time were both related to the provincial examination. To be precise, one was about strategy and the other was about stereotypes.
Everyone in the family is excited about the news about Enke. As for whether Zhu Pingan can pass the exam, it is not their concern. Anyway, they are excited about Enke.
Early the next morning, Zhu Ping'an wore the clothes made by his wife and walked from his home to his mentor's house in Shanghe Village.
The clothes made by my wife fit me perfectly. They were made of Zi cloth and were made into four-pant shirts with vermilion trim. They were wide and wide for easy movement. The four-pant shirts had no belt. There are several straps on both sides, but they are fastened.
The mistress also made a pair of shoes. The standard name for shoes is Cai Lu, which means colorful shoes. The shoes on Zhu Pingan's feet are red-edged shoes, which are a bit like embroidered shoes, but without embroidery, which feels weird.
The villagers I met on the road looked at Zhu Pingan with strange eyes when they greeted him, and they were very puzzled. Zhu Ping'an explained that he was dressed like this because he was going to his master's house. Crowning ceremony.
Crowning ceremony?
The villagers don't understand what is the etiquette of wearing a hat or not. People in our village don't pay attention to this. Most of the villagers felt this way, so it was no wonder that Old Master Sun wanted to go to his home to crown him.
Old Master Sun's house is still the same as usual. The door was not closed at night, and the door was not closed at all. Zhu Pingan walked straight in.
"Good morning, teacher." Zhu Ping'an looked at Old Master Sun as he entered the door, and bowed from a distance.
"Yeah, not bad." Old Master Sun was clearing away the tables and chairs in the yard, placing them, wine glasses, hats, turbans, etc. Seeing Zhu Pingan coming over early in the morning, he nodded with satisfaction.
Zhu Ping'an wanted to step forward to help, but was pulled into the room by his wife who came out after hearing the sound. Without explanation, he changed Zhu Ping'an's hairstyle, uh, a very shameful horn style, with two hairdos painted on both sides of his forehead by his wife. The bun is in the shape of a ring, and the mistress also ties it with a vermilion brocade ribbon to form a "璒".
While the wife was changing Zhu Ping'an's hair style, guests came to Old Master Sun's house. They were all old friends of Mr. Sun, including the two students who had been Paul's guarantors when Zhu Ping'an was taking the college entrance examination. About seven or eight people came. , bringing pens, inks, paper and inkstones as congratulatory gifts for Zhu Ping's crowning ceremony.
They were all invited by Master Sun to watch the ceremony.
Zhu Ping'an was called to the gate by Old Master Sun and faced east to greet Old Master Sun's friends. Old Master Sun greeted his friend with a smile, and Zhu Pingan greeted him with a long bow. Old Master Sun's friend looked at Zhu Pingan, nodded with satisfaction, then exchanged greetings with Old Master Sun at the door, and then followed Old Master Sun into the courtyard.
The mistress made a pot of tea and put it on the table outside the courtyard together with the teacup, then turned and returned to the room. Zhu Pingan picked up the teapot, poured tea cup after cup, and put it on the table.
Old Master Sun's friend entered the courtyard, washed his hands in the basin, and then sat down to watch the ceremony.
Zhu Pingan's crowning ceremony officially began.
"If a certain student, Zhu Ping'an, the son of Zhu Shouyi of Xiahe Village, grows up, I will crown him as the first one today. I would like to..." Old Master Sun bowed his hands to the friends watching the ceremony and said.
"Praise." Old Master Sun's friend nodded in praise.
Then, Old Master Sun took the headscarf from the table, walked to Zhu Pingan, and exhorted with a serious face: "On the day of the auspicious month, we will start to add yuan clothes, abandon your young ambitions, be obedient and become virtuous, and live long and prosperous." , to introduce Bi Fu."
"Thank you so much, teacher." Zhu Pingan knelt down to thank his teacher.
Old Master Sun took the opportunity to put the scarf on Zhu Pingan's head, and then said to Zhu Pingan in a gentle voice, "Go to the room and look for your wife."
Zhu Pingan nodded, stood up, bowed his hands to the people watching on one side, and walked into the room.
"Come here, go to the bedroom and put on these clothes." The teacher's wife smiled kindly and put a bag of clothes in Zhu Pingan's hand.
"Thank you, Master." Zhu Pingan took it and expressed his gratitude to Master with a smile.
"Silly boy, why are you being polite to the teacher's wife?" The teacher's wife smiled and urged Zhu Ping'an to go to the bedroom to change clothes.
The crowning ceremony is relatively trivial and requires changing clothes. Walking to the bedroom, Zhu Ping'an looked at the clothes given by his wife. It was a dark suit with a brocade belt and a pair of black cloth shoes. Zhu Ping'an took off the four-panel shirt and put on the clothes given by his wife.
After changing his clothes and thanking his wife, Zhu Pingan walked into the courtyard again.
Old Master Sun asked Zhu Pingan to stand in the courtyard for a while before starting the next process. After Zhu Pingan stood there for a while, Old Master Sun took another hat from the table, walked to Zhu Pingan, and encouraged him again: "On the day of the auspicious month, it is the time for Shen Erfu, uprightness, and Shushun virtue. May you live forever and enjoy your blessings."
Zhu Pingan knelt down to thank his teacher. Master Sun put a hat on Zhu Pingan, and then asked Zhu Pingan to look for his teacher's wife in the reception room.
Well
Guan Li is so troublesome, Zhu Pingan muttered in his heart.
However, he still obeyed his teacher's orders and walked to the room again. (To be continued.)
