"Congratulations to Zhu Ping'an from Anqing Prefecture for winning the first place in Enke High School's examination!"
When Xu Laosan was reading the good news in Duke Wei's mansion, the curious people around him craned their necks to come over to see the good news. Although there was speculation that Huiyuan might not be Fatty Zhou but someone else who would try Enke this time. But after seeing the facts written in black and red on the good news, I couldn't help but read it out loud in surprise.
Zhu Pingan!
If Fatty Zhou just said "Fifth brother-in-law, your good news" with a constipated face and a mournful expression, it was like a drum sound, making people just suspicious;
So at this moment, looking at the good news and reading out loud, "Congratulations to Zhu Ping'an of Anqing Prefecture for winning the first place in the exam of Enke High School" read out loud, it was like a thunder that exploded in people's hearts. The news that Enke Huiyuan is Zhu Pingan is an ironclad fact.
Enke Huiyuan, Zhu Pingan!
The news was too sudden for people to accept.
Even if Huiyuan is Fatty Zhou, people can still accept it, but Huiyuan is Zhu Ping'an, but people can't accept it for a while.
Who is Zhu Pingan?
He is the fifth uncle of the Linhuai Marquis Mansion who is about to break off the engagement. He is a country bumpkin. He is a freeloader. He is mediocre and incompetent. He... There are no less than fifty unsightly versions of him in the Linhuai Marquis Mansion. Story, these fifty versions of the story, if even one version falls on me, I will be ashamed and commit suicide!
But the fact is that this person fell to Enke Huiyuan for this examination.
He sat up in shock while dying of illness. Who is more beautiful, me or Mr. Xu? People's mood at this time was almost the same as when they heard this sentence. They were dumbfounded and could not recover for a long time.
People were stunned and turned their attention once again to the young man they had despised just now.
The young man looks very ordinary. To use the word mediocre to describe him is not an exaggeration at all. He even looks a bit honest.
Too ordinary! Throw it into the crowd. Just like a drop of water falling into the ocean, it is inconspicuous. There is no sense of talent at all, let alone the grace and grace that Hui Yuan should have. Many people here are more Hui Yuan than him. For example, Xu Laosan of Duke Wei's Mansion can definitely beat him by several blocks.
Compared with people's surprise, the people who reacted more strongly were the immediate stakeholders of this meeting.
For example, the real protagonist of this banquet is the old lady of the Linhuai Marquis Mansion who is celebrating her sixtieth birthday. I was still very angry just now. She was shouting "big reward" with excitement and trembling, and stood directing the stewards to set off firecrackers. She looked like an old lady who was more than ten years younger. At this moment, her eyes darkened and she almost fainted on the spot. Fortunately, the personal maid Zicuckoo next to her He supported the old lady in time and pinched the old lady's tiger's mouth, which prevented her from fainting. However, she seemed to have exhausted all her energy and fell softly on her seat. A gloomy look on his face.
For example, at another table, the Marquis of Linhuai, Li Tingzhu, heard people reading the words on the good news loudly. The wine glass he was holding was trembling with excitement. It seemed to be red-hot at this moment. Marquis of Linhuai Li Tingzhu's hand seemed to have been burned. With a bang, the wine glass in his hand fell to the ground, breaking into pieces.
But not everyone was so stunned and surprised, for example, some people cheered.
"Ms., middle...I got it, my uncle got it...Miss. Miss, my uncle got it~~~First place, Huiyuan~~~"
When Baozi's little maid Hua'er heard the news that Zhu Ping'an had passed the examination, she jumped up and down excitedly holding Li Shu's arm. The excited Baozi's face turned red. Her excitement could no longer be described in words. It seemed that every cell in her body was beating with joy. She couldn't help but hug her lady's arm and jump up and down.
Li Shu let her little maid Baozi hug her arm and have fun, and looked at the young man holding the tea cup with a pair of watery eyes. The corners of the mouth are slightly curved upward.
Did you see that, that is my husband-in-law, Li Shu!
There seemed to be a sweet and refreshing wind passing through Li Shu's heart!
The cheers of Baozi's little maid awakened the surrounding ladies of the Hou Mansion.
The ladies who had walked out of the room excitedly, with excited little faces flushed, now seemed to have suffered a huge blow. Although they had smiles on their faces, the smiles were full of reluctance.
Especially the fifth lady of the Hou Mansion, who was in a state of ecstasy when Xu Penghui, the Duke of Wei, came just now, was in a state of excitement, and looked down upon Li Shu. At this moment, her face was even more frighteningly white, and the handkerchief in her hand was balled up.
At this moment, she finally understood why the fifth sister was so calm and calm while sipping tea when Xu Penghui won the 38th place!
At this moment, she finally understood how envious and jealous she thought the fifth sister was when Xu Penghui won the 38th place. How ridiculous it was for her to want to see the fifth sister being envious and jealous! The husband she has yet to decide on is only the thirty-eighth one, but the husband the fifth sister has decided on is the first Huiyuan!
The sixth lady of the Hou Mansion had a pale face and looked at the country bumpkin fifth brother-in-law who was the focus of everyone's attention in the crowd:
The country bumpkin fifth brother-in-law has an ordinary appearance, as mediocre as a drop of water falling in the ocean. He looks honest and honest, but on this honest face, there is a pair of black and bright eyes, always full of energy, as if It's like he can see everything.
The fifth brother-in-law, a country bumpkin, had a faint smile on his face at the moment. He raised his hands and smiled in front of everyone. He was neither humble nor arrogant, neither arrogant nor arrogant. He was as calm as when he first entered the Marquis Mansion and was laughed at by himself. The words he said that day seemed to still be in his ears: Like you. , a good-looking boy with a nice voice, pure and refined, handsome and smart, a good boy who floats like catkins in the wind and is curious. To be honest, one country bumpkin like me can beat ten.
What most surprised the sixth lady of the Hou Mansion was that the bumpkin fifth brother-in-law was only fourteen or fifteen years old this year. Oh, yes, he was the same age as the fifth sister and herself, but he was only fourteen years old. Thinking of this, the sixth lady of the Hou Mansion trembled. The fifth brother-in-law won the Huiyuan at the age of fourteen! He is more than four years younger than Xu Penghui! Fourteen-year-old Huiyuan felt frightened just thinking about it!
The sixth lady of the Hou Mansion turned her eyes from the bumpkin fifth brother-in-law to the fifth sister Li Shu. At this moment, the fifth sister was curling her lips.
Finally, the sixth lady of the Hou family finally understood why the beautiful fifth sister would be betrothed to such a country bumpkin fifth brother-in-law, and finally understood why the fifth sister was dismissive when she heard everyone in the Hou family slandering the country bumpkin fifth brother-in-law.
That's right, disdainful, fifth sister is disdainful!
There are many people like the Sixth Miss of the Hou Mansion who want to see it this way at the birthday banquet of the Hou Mansion. However, there are exceptions. For example, this morning, she had a sunken look and blocked the door of the small courtyard of Zhu Pingan's guest room for half a day. She kindly tried to persuade Zhu Pingan to be quiet. Don't lose the face of the Marquis Mansion and Li Shu by staying in the corner. This is not the case for Young Master Zheng.
After Mr. Zheng listened to people looking at the good news and reading out the sentence on the good news, "Congratulations to Zhu Ping'an of Anqing Prefecture for winning the first place in Enke High School in the exam," he felt as if he had been greatly stimulated. Passing through the crowd, muttering "It's a mistake, it's a mistake..." he came to the side of Xu Laosan, the Duke of Wei, and held the good news of the general trial in his hand.
He must have made a mistake. That country bumpkin is not as good at writing poetry as I am, and I even instruct him in Eight-part Questioning...
Mr. Zheng couldn't believe in his heart that Zhu Ping'an, who was not as good as him in poetry, inferior to himself in stereotyped writing, or inferior to him in everything else, would win the Huiyuan Prize.
Then, the persistent general read the good news about the trial over and over again, but the three words Zhu Ping'an on the good news couldn't be clearer, like a roaring slap, falling heavily on his face.
I don't want to talk, I want to be quiet. (To be continued.)
