At dusk, three beggars in a miserable state and limping appeared on Fulu Street in Lumenli, Suzhou.
It was uncle Zhu Shouren and his party.
"Is this here?" Xia Qiang covered his butt bitten by the dog and looked at the tall houses and courtyards on both sides of the street. He said with awe, "Look at how grand this house is. These are the homes of wealthy families. , if we accidentally bump into a noble person, we will be in trouble. With the way we are dressed now, no one will be polite to us. "
"It's not wrong. I asked three people, and they all said they lived on Fulu Street, Lumen. There were two big lions at the door, and the two characters 'Zhu Mansion' were written on the door plaque. Our eyes widened, but Don’t miss it.”
Hu Wei limped forward and said with certainty that he had found out the news and it couldn't be wrong.
In order to find out this news, he also paid a heavy price and was bitten by a damn dog. Damn dog, it bites wherever it's not good, so it bites on the buttocks, which makes my butt hurt every step I take.
Okay, God is fair. Both of them were bitten by dogs, both on their butts, which made him feel a little more balanced.
"Look, there is Zhu's Mansion ahead, and there are two stone lions at the door. I found them."
Uncle Zhu Shouren shouted excitedly from the front, limping and trotting towards the gate of Zhu's mansion.
"Hey, that beggar, stop! This is the main entrance! If you want to beg, go to the back door. My young lady is kind-hearted and knows that there are many people fleeing to Suzhou recently, so she specially ordered food to be distributed at the back door. If you want to beg, go to the back door."
When the guard guarding the gate saw the limping beggar, his uncle Zhu Shouren, running towards the door, he couldn't help but stretched out his hand and scolded him.
Why is this beggar so blind? This is the main entrance. Is it a door that you beggars can enter? !
The nurse was obviously a practicing practitioner, and every move he made was a bit imposing. Uncle Zhu Shouren was stunned and stammered, "Which, which, misunderstanding, misunderstanding, we are not beggars begging for food."
"That's right, we're not here to beg for food." Hu Wei and Xia Qiang, who followed closely, also explained.
"Aren't you here to beg for food? If beggars don't beg for food, then they are here to cause trouble and be beaten?" The nurse shook his neck, made a crackling sound, and walked down the steps, feeling like a thousand troops.
"Wait, wait, we are not here to beg, let alone to cause trouble, we are here to visit relatives. Is your master's name Zhu Pingan? I am his uncle Zhu Shouren!" Uncle Zhu Shouren shouted quickly.
The nurse stopped in front of uncle Zhu Shouren and stared at him with burning eyes, "Do you know the consequences of pretending to be a relative?!"
"No matter what the consequences are, I am a real relative." The uncle's point was true, after all, he was indeed real.
Soon, the news of uncle Zhu Shouren's arrival spread to the backyard.
At that time, Li Shu was walking with Hua'er's support. A girl came forward and whispered: "Miss, there is news in the front yard that three beggars came to the door. One of them claimed to be my uncle Zhu Shouren and said he came to see the master."
"Brother Zhu's uncle Zhu Shouren? Why is he here?" After hearing this, Li Shu couldn't help but frowned slightly, and then told a girl, "That's it, you ask Ma Liu who came from the village to go to the front yard to identify people. , if it is indeed Zhu Shouren, Brother Zhu’s uncle, let the steward place them in the front yard, entertain them with delicious food and drinks, and then ask him what his business is here. After asking clearly, no matter what it is, it will be the same Come back, I am a woman, and it is not convenient for me to see guests. I will wait until Brother Zhu comes back. Then send someone to the camp to tell Brother Zhu. If it is an imposter, then send him away. Don't hurt anyone."
Li Shu didn't have a good impression of this cheap uncle. If he hadn't cared about Zhu Pingan's face and reputation, and worried that Zhu Pingan would be labeled as disrespectful to his elders, he would have been rejected.
There must be nothing good going on when he comes to visit.
It's not that he's afraid of the autumn wind, but that he brought two strangers here all the way, and I don't know what kind of monster he is going to do.
He doesn't have much ability, but he is very capable of causing trouble and causing trouble, so he has to be on guard.
"As you command, miss." The little girl followed the order and left.
Mother Liu came from Shanghe Village and knew everyone in Shanghe Village and Xiahe Village. Besides, Zhu Shouren was quite famous in Xiahe Village (not a good reputation), so she naturally knew Zhu Shouren; especially after the two families got married, Mother Liu has met all the Zhu family members up close. Let her go to the front yard to identify it, and there will be no mistaking it.
"Miss, I also know my uncle's uncle..." Hua'er volunteered from the side.
"What kind of person is his uncle? Haven't you heard of him in the village? In the past, he gambled excessively in the town and borrowed loan sharks at usury, but he signed the name of his father-in-law, which caused his father-in-law to be beaten. In the name of studying, he lived in the county town. He didn't do anything serious and emptied his family's fortune, causing Brother Zhu to go to the mountains to collect medicines to make money. After Brother Zhu was in high school, he often shamelessly said that it was he who taught Brother Zhu his education. Humph, he was full of nonsense. Brother Zhu invited him when he was a child. He didn’t want to study, so he excused himself by saying that he didn’t have time to study and prepare for the exam, so he drove Brother Zhu to herd cattle... Birds of a feather flock together, and people flock together, so those two friends of his are definitely not good people, so don’t pay attention to them."
Li Shu rolled her eyes and said angrily.
"Oh, I almost forgot about his reputation in Xiahe Village..." Baozi's little maid Hua'er stuck out her tongue.
After a while, around tea time, the little girl and Liu Ma came back from the front yard to meet someone.
"Miss, I went to the front yard to confirm. That person is indeed my uncle's uncle Zhu Shouren. Although his hair is disheveled and he is in a mess, I can't mistake his smug face." Mother Liu stepped forward to report.
"It's really him..." Li Shu was not surprised by this.
"Miss, you don't know how arrogant he is. He bosses us around without saying a word. He also acts like an elder and asks the lady to visit him..." The little girl couldn't help complaining.
Ah......
When Li Shu heard this, she sneered.
"Humph, how shameless! Who does he think he is? He asked the young lady to go to the front yard to meet them. She doesn't know any rules and etiquette... I said that the young lady is heavy and has difficulty moving. Her uncle is not here, so it is inconvenient for the young lady. We will wait until my uncle comes back to see foreign guests." The little girl continued to report in an emotional voice.
"What did he want to do when he came to see Brother Zhu?" Li Shu asked.
"He is mysterious and pretentious, saying that he is here to do great things, to help my uncle, to help him build a career, to give him glory and wealth, to send him to great success, to be granted the title of marquis, and to become the prime minister..."
The little girl replied with a speechless expression.
"Just him?!" Hua'er, Baozi's little maid, couldn't help but roll her eyes when she heard this.
