Rise From the Humble

In the inn, Zhu Ping'an leaned over to compose, unknowingly immersed in it, forgetting both things and me, only to see the pen running around, converging into a beautiful article.

It feels so good to be fully engaged and at peace.

By the time Zhu Pingan finished an eight-part essay, it was already noon, and he felt a little hungry. Zhu Pingan put away his pen, ink, paper and inkstone, washed his hands and walked downstairs.

When he walked downstairs, Zhu Pingan greeted the shopkeeper as usual and politely asked the shop assistant to make him one meat and one vegetarian dishes, two steamed buns and a bowl of soup as usual, and then sat down near the door. An empty table. But for some reason, Zhu Pingan felt that the students sitting in the lobby looked at him a little strangely, as if they had a vague feeling that they wanted to draw a clear line with themselves.

The food served at the inn was very fast. Not long after Zhu Pingan sat down, the food he ordered was brought to him by the waiter.

Zhu Ping'an had only had two bites when he heard a familiar pig-killing howl at the door. He looked up and saw the familiar figure of the fat man, roaring all the way towards the inn.

"Help, stop it quickly, stop it." The fat man panicked and came roaring all the way.

Behind him were three vicious dogs, chasing the fat man and barking.

Zhu Pingan was speechless for a while, why did this guy attract dogs again, just like the last time he went to Xiahe Village.

The fat man who was running in panic suddenly saw Zhu Pingan sitting upright in the inn. As if he had seen a savior, he opened his mouth and shouted, almost crying, "Brother Zhu, why are you still sitting there? Come on!" "

The fat man rushed into the inn lobby in embarrassment, screaming and running towards Zhu Pingan, but he accidentally slipped and fell. The three vicious dogs, which were still some distance behind, rushed over with barking barks, and were about to have a wonderful encounter with the fat man's body.

The fat man's eyes almost popped out of his head when he looked at the three vicious dogs charging towards him. At that time, he only had one thought: My life is at stake.

At this critical moment, I saw a chicken leg flying over the fat man's head, drawing a beautiful parabola, and threw it into the face of a dog. Then, in an instant, three dogs howled and started a fierce fight for the chicken leg. The fat man was forgotten in Java.

The fat man turned his head and saw Zhu Ping'an throwing the chicken legs. He was immediately moved. Brother Zhu was reliable.

"Don't forget to compensate me with a chicken leg." Zhu Pingan said lightly.

"Don't talk about one, even a hundred will do. Brother Zhu, your hands are still useful." The fat man got up from the ground, clapped his hands, neatly arranged his clothes in full view of everyone, and walked to Zhu Ping'an in a well-dressed manner. He sat down at the table, as if the fat man who had just fallen into a mess was not him.

"Boss, here are four more dishes and one soup, our signature dish." After the fat man sat down, he turned around and gave the shopkeeper's order.

"Why did you mess with the dog again?" Zhu Pingan glanced at the fat man and asked calmly.

"You know I have been afraid of dogs since I was a child. Last time I was chased by a dog in front of your house. But who is Fatty? How can I be intimidated by such difficulties? I asked many wise people and finally asked one Ways to deal with vicious dogs. This vicious dog eats soft things and is afraid of hard ones. If you walk past it, it will bite you. The more afraid you are, the more aggressive it will be. When you encounter a bitch like this, you only need to Bend down like you are picking up a stone, and it will definitely run away! So, I just want to give it a try." The fat man sat there and talked, talking about chasing dogs as if he was saving the universe.

The method is good, but if you try it, just find one dog. If you mess with three of them, you deserve to be chased by the dogs three streets!

Zhu Ping'an was speechless at the fat man's mindless behavior.

After the food ordered by the fat man was in place, the fat man invited Zhu Pingan to eat with him and complained to Zhu Pingan at the same time.

"You don't know, before I went home, my godmother said that my parents must miss me. After I went back, I found out that she was wrong. My dad didn't miss me, he wanted to scold me. At home, he told me to get out. Go out; outside, he tells me to go home; if I don’t read, he scolds me for my poor homework; if he reads, he scolds me for wasting money; if he eats, he scolds me for being greedy; if he doesn’t eat, he scolds me for being naughty; if he doesn’t Speak, scold me for being stuffy and unable to kick out a hot fart; Speak, scold me for talking too much nonsense. What on earth is he thinking? I wonder if I am his biological child."

The fat man didn't stop complaining after he sat down.

In this regard, Zhu Ping'an could only laugh.

During this lunch, Zhu Pingan ate a lot, but the fat man ate very little, as if he had something on his mind.

"What's the matter? Tell me what you're unhappy about and make it happy." Zhu Ping'an drank the last mouthful of porridge and asked with a smile.

"Brother Zhu, you are so..." The fat man shook his fat face and choked with laughter.

Zhu Ping'an's words are nothing in modern times. Everyone has heard them too many times. However, in ancient times, these words were the first to be heard, and the effect was very outstanding.

But after laughing, the fat man was still embarrassed to speak.

Zhu Pingan glanced at the fat man, thought for a moment, and asked, "Brother Xue, are you worried about the scientific examination in office?"

When the fat man heard this, he looked up at Zhu Pingan in disbelief. He was very surprised and didn't know why Zhu Pingan guessed it.

"Nonsense, you can talk and laugh with ease even when your father scolds you. As far as the current situation is concerned, this is the only time for scientific examination." Zhu Pingan curled his lips.

"Hehehe, Brother Zhu is really worthy of being the head of the case, and he is thoughtful. Alas, Fatty was still in high spirits when he left your house, but after he got home and was beaten by his father, he realized that the scientific examination seemed to be even harder than the college examination. "More. The academy examination is just about children vying for talents. There are dozens of places left. But in the scientific examination, scholars are competing for that, and the number of places is still less than half. I haven't even passed the academy examination." The fat man had a bitter look on his face. , the fat face that used to be full of energy has a sad look on it.

"Originally, it was fine. My father spent a lot of effort and asked his seven aunts and eight aunts to help him. Finally, he managed to get in touch with the seventh aunt and eight aunts who taught him the academic officer. As a result, the academic officer was transferred to Sichuan. Went. Mr. Zhao from the capital was transferred here to serve as the academic officer. All the previous efforts were in vain." The fat man's fat face turned into a chrysanthemum with worry.

"Master Zhao?" Zhu Ping'an was startled for a moment, thinking of the unreasonable fat man he met on the road in the morning. It seemed that he belonged to Master Zhao's house.

"Yes, Mr. Zhao Wenhua, Zhao, don't you know that the academic officer has been changed?" The fat man rolled his eyes.

Zhao Wenhua? !

When Zhu Pingan heard this, he suddenly smiled, patted the fat man on the shoulder, and said very confidently: "Congratulations, you can pass the scientific examination."

After saying that, Zhu Ping'an shook his head and walked upstairs with a smile, muttering to Zhao Wenhua, haha

"Hey, what do you mean?"

The fat man scratched his head and followed Zhu Pingan upstairs.
