Recommended reading: ? There are only ten copper coins, but they are very heavy and heavy in the palm of your hand.
The uncle looked at the ten copper coins in his hand, and then at Zhu Ping'an's warm and generous face. His mouth was open for a while, twitching slightly, and he couldn't say a word for a long time.
"Sending goose feathers thousands of miles away is a light gift but a heavy sentiment. This is also my nephew's intention. Please don't refuse. My nephew would like to wish my uncle a golden medal and a triumphant return." After Zhu Pingan stuffed ten copper coins into his uncle's hand, He twitched the corner of his mouth and said casually.
After listening to Zhu Pingan's words, the uncle opened his mouth even wider.
After a few seconds, uncle Zhu Shouren regained his composure and looked at the ten copper coins in his hand with a look of disgust on his face. Ten cents is enough for what? Going to a restaurant to eat is not even enough for a pot of tea! You, a Ming Dynasty scholar and a sixth-grade Hanlin scholar, had the nerve to hand over ten cents, which made your uncle Zhu Shouren disgusted.
"Uncle, are you too young?" Zhu Ping'an narrowed his eyes slightly and took in all the expressions on his uncle Zhu Shouren's face.
"No." The uncle smiled dryly.
Everyone knows that Zhu Pingan encountered pirates and shipwrecks on the sea a few days ago. Thank God that Zhu Pingan came back with his life. It is normal for valuable money to be robbed or lost at sea. Everyone can understand Zhu Ping'an's inability to pay and cannot ask for too much.
However, uncle Zhu Shouren is not someone who gives up easily.
"Xie'er, your wife has a lot of money, why don't you ask for it? When my uncle comes back from the scientific examination, he will not have a penny less than you." Uncle Zhu Shouren stood there and looked at Zhu Pingan, then shook his head in the direction of Li Shu, He reminded Zhu Ping'an softly.
At this moment, Li Shu was surrounded by her fourth aunt and her third aunt, asking them about what happened to Dahai.
Your wife has a lot of money, why don't you ask for it... Don't you have no money? It doesn't matter. Your wife has a lot of money. Why don't you ask your wife for some money and give it to me. The uncle put forward a feasible suggestion from Zhu Pingan's standpoint.
So cool, uncle!
The uncle once again set his lower limit with his actual actions, and once again proved that he is far thicker than ordinary people.
Zhu Pingjing looked at his uncle quietly. Even though he knew that his uncle was a good person, his shamelessness still surprised Zhu Ping'an. Yesterday, the uncle's plan to seize his family's property with outsiders failed. The conspiracy was exposed in front of everyone, and he was chased by the old man to repair it. But today, the uncle could not only stand in front of him without blushing and breathless, but did not mention anything about yesterday's events. Moreover, he could "force to borrow" calmly. When the "forced borrowing" failed to achieve his goal, the uncle would openly say, "Your wife has a lot of money, why not ask for it"!
No one else has such shame. In other words, if the uncle uses this shameless spirit in other places, he will definitely achieve something. After all, being shameless is also an element of success.
"Yes, She'er, you can ask your wife for some money."
As soon as the uncle's voice fell, Mrs. Zhu, who was paying close attention at the side, heard the uncle's suggestion, patted her thigh, and then reminded Zhu Ping'an.
The daughter-in-law bought four bird's nests, so she must be very rich, and she had already heard that the rich man Li from Shanghe Village had a lot of money. The daughter-in-law can just slip a little bit between her fingers and it will be enough for the boss to take the Yingtian exam.
Well
Grandma, why are you joining in the fun? Yes, grandma has always been biased toward the uncle, and this time is no exception. It's normal.
"What's wrong, husband?" Li Shu came over and asked, her voice was very gentle and sweet, which made people feel comfortable.
Zhu Pingan briefly told Li Shu softly.
Oh~~ Li Shu nodded, pursed her red lips and said oh, her dark eyes glanced at her uncle and grandmother, and then handed the red envelope in her hand to Zhu Pingan, with a smile on her face: " My uncle's exam is a big deal, so of course he must support it. This is the greeting gift my grandmother just gave me. It's very heavy to my touch. It must be a good thing that my grandmother gave me. It must be worth a lot of money. My husband will give it to my uncle on my behalf. Bar.
"
After listening to Li Shu's words, Mrs. Zhu turned away unnaturally, her face slightly red.
"Uncle, just prepare for the exam with peace of mind. We are all one family. Don't talk about repaying the money anymore." Zhu Pingan stuffed the red envelope into uncle Zhu Shouren's hand again, curling the corners of his lips very generously.
The red envelope fell into my hand with the same weight as the first ten cents.
Another ten cents!
The uncle opened his mouth wide again. He knew what was inside as soon as he touched it. It was true that a family did not come into the same house. The pigeon gave ten coins, and the pigeon's daughter-in-law also gave ten coins!
"Oh, by the way, uncle, my father mentioned this morning that he gave uncle three guans of money for transportation the day before yesterday. Copper coins are too heavy to carry on the road. Uncle, please don't forget to change them into silver coins."
Seeing that the uncle was still about to speak, Zhu Pingan spoke first. Just listening to the conversation between my uncle and my grandfather, I knew that my uncle did not tell my grandfather about the money given by my father. The three pieces of money my father carried on his back from his mother to his uncle were his personal money that he had worked hard to save for a year. My uncle didn't even mention this. Zhu Pingan felt that it was necessary to let his grandfather and grandmother know what his father had done. The provincial grandfather and grandmother thought that his father did not care about brotherhood.
"Brother, didn't you say you were penniless yesterday?" The fourth aunt asked elegantly, raising her voice.
Grandfather and grandmother also turned their attention to the uncle, examining, exploring and questioning him.
"Ahem, if it wasn't for She'er's reminder, I almost forgot about these three coins." The uncle coughed, his face was not red and he was out of breath, and he looked like he just remembered it.
After this incident, the uncle never mentioned borrowing money again.
But although he didn't mention borrowing money anymore, the uncle had other ideas.
"Xu'er is now the number one scholar and serves in the Hanlin Academy. He must have many acquaintances in the officialdom of Nanzhili. Why don't Xu'er write a few greetings in your name, and my uncle will pay you a visit and take a walk.
"The uncle touched his beard and looked at Zhu Pingan and said.
After hearing this, Mr. Zhu also turned his attention to Zhu Pingan, thinking that if Zhu Pingan helped his eldest son find connections as the number one scholar, the exam would be easier.
"It makes my uncle laugh. She'er is also new to the official career and has no previous acquaintance with Southern Zhili." Zhu Ping'an glanced at his uncle and was a little speechless. He was still thinking of using the relationship to go through the back door. Why don't you study hard to prepare for the imperial examination? Just think about what these crooked ways are doing.
"Alas..." The uncle sighed hard when he saw Zhu Pingan, and shook his head, as if he hated iron and put himself in Zhu Pingan's shoes. It’s important. You’re still young, and there are still some shortcomings in this journey. You know, your memorial has caused trouble. You have sinned against Mr. Yan, and if there is no one to help you, this time will be more misfortunate. You and Write a few greetings, and uncle will take time to visit a few adults for you, so that someone can help you intercede with Mr. Yan, and the big thing will be reduced to a trivial matter."
"Don't worry, uncle. The imperial examination is a big deal. I should concentrate on preparing for the examination. If the examination is delayed because of Xie'er's affairs, Xie'er will not be able to bear it." Zhu Pingan shook his head.
Well, the uncle is a little confused.
Seeing the disappointed look in Mr. Zhu's eyes, Zhu Pingan couldn't bear it. Mr. Zhu really wanted his uncle to succeed in the imperial examination. For the sake of his grandfather, Zhu Pingan thought for a while and said to his uncle Zhu Shouren: "By the way, uncle, Shi'er At home, I still have more than ten volumes of notes and reflections written down after reading the Four Books and Five Classics. You can take them with you when you leave. You can browse through them when you have nothing to do on the way, and briefly describe your opinions, which can be used by your uncle to pass the time on the way."
Hearing this, the uncle shook his head very uninterestedly, "Uncle brought Zhu Zi's annotations. I'm afraid I don't have any extra time on the road. Let's study Xuel's notes and insights after he returns from the scientific examination."
Well, the pearl secretly casts the harp, playing the harp to the ox.
If it weren't for his grandfather's sake, Zhu Pingan would not have lent these notes and insights to his uncle. However, at this moment, Zhu Pingan looked at things that were worth tens of thousands of gold, but his uncle dismissed them.
The twisted melon is not sweet, so forget it. (To be continued.)
