Rise From the Humble

"Seeking truth from the outside is the reason why knowledge and practice are two things. Seeking truth from my heart is the teaching of the Holy Sect that combines knowledge and practice."

Zhu Ping'an read the "Book of Biography" all morning, and gained a further understanding of Wang Yangming's philosophy. In addition to the unity of knowledge and action, Wang Yangming's lively, lively, and often witty language skills also benefited Zhu Ping'an. Not a small impact.

When it was almost noon, Li Shu led Baozi's little maid to Zhu Ping'an's guest room. Baozi's little maid was carrying a food box with a red face.

“Uncle~~it’s time to eat~~”

The little maid Baozi said in a long tone, and placed the food box on the table in Zhu Ping's room like a treasure. She stretched out her chubby hand to open the food box and took out the food inside one by one.

As soon as the food box was opened, Zhu Ping'an smelled an intoxicating aroma. Although the food in the Hou Mansion was always very good, the food box brought by Hua'er, Baozi's maid, today was obviously much better than what he had eaten in the previous two days. .

The dishes in the food box are all my favorites, and even the soup is my favorite rice porridge.

"That's it, thank you very much." Zhu Ping'an smiled slightly and thanked Li Shu and Baozi's little maid.

"Don't think too much, it was done by random people." Li Shu glanced at Zhu Ping'an, then flattened her mouth and said.

Zhu Ping'an has long been immune to Li Shu's arrogance.

I happened to be hungry, so Zhu Pingan was not polite. He walked to the table and put a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs into his mouth with chopsticks. It was dry and moist, sweet and sour. It was such a familiar taste and it was so delicious. Zhu Pingan I couldn't help but eat two pieces in a row before I put down my chopsticks still unsatisfied.

"Did you bring the cook at home?" Zhu Pingan's eyes lit up.

"Ah?" Baozi's little maid was a little confused.

"What, it's not delicious?" Li Shu raised her eyebrows.

"No, it's really delicious." Zhu Pingan shook his head, "The taste is the same as yours. I thought your cook would follow along."

Hearing this, Li Shu glanced at Zhu Ping'an, her watery eyes lit up slightly, but she flattened her mouth and said, "It's rare to find someone strange. It's not like the Hou Mansion doesn't have a cook."

Zhu Ping'an smiled slightly and did not ask any further. It didn't matter to him whether he was the cook of Li Shu's family or the cook of Hou's family. The food tasted good, so he just had to eat more.

However, what surprised Zhu Pingan was that Li Shu and the little maid Baozi had no intention of leaving. Li Shu walked to Zhu Pingan's desk and sat down, holding the straw paper Zhu Pingan used to practice calligraphy and composition and read it. Baozi's little maid is like a follower, she will go wherever Li Shu goes.

"Aren't you going to eat?" Zhu Pingan asked, stopping his chopsticks.

"We've eaten in the courtyard." The little maid of Baozi puffed up Baozi's face and said, "There's a man in the front yard who is so annoying, he doesn't even wink at all."

"Oh?" Zhu Pingan was a little curious.

"He is the grandma's nephew, so it's annoying, he always hangs around in front of us." Baozi's little maid mentioned that man, Baozi's face was full of displeasure.

"Why do you mention that idiot!" Li Shu seemed to be afraid that Zhu Ping'an would misunderstand, and said as soon as the little maid Baozi finished speaking, "That man is eighteen years old, cannot study well, and is not good at martial arts. He has nothing to do at home, relying on My family member En Yin just joined the Imperial College. He is obviously as stupid as a dog, but he still thinks he is the reincarnation of Pan An. He holds a fan all day long pretending to be a bullshit genius and reciting some bullshit poems. I hate it when I read it."

When Li Shu mentioned that person, she was filled with disgust.

After listening to the words of Baozi's maid and Li Shu, Zhu Ping'an roughly understood the outline of the matter. It was simply to celebrate the birthday of the old lady, so the nephew of Mrs. Linhuai Marquis came to the Marquis Mansion in advance, probably because he saw Li Shu's appearance. , What kind of thought was moved, like a male orangutan, he kept acting in front of Li Shu, and finally annoyed Li Shu, so he came to hide here.

Hehe, I guess the entire Linhuaihou Mansion is happy to see it succeed, so let's support that nephew, as can be seen from the attitude of the Linhuaihou Mansion towards him.

Anyway, after the birthday banquet was over, Li Shu would also be retiring when she returned home, so what happened had no effect on her.

However, from Li Shu's reaction, it can be seen that the calculation of the Marquis of Linhuai Mansion has come to nothing.

Zhu Pingan smiled slightly, lowered his head and continued to eat his food. Today's food tasted really good. Zhu Pingan felt that he could eat a lot more than before.

"Hey, Zhu Pingan, you have to remember, you are my unmarried husband now." Li Shu casually turned over a piece of papyrus written by Zhu Pingan, looked at it for a while, and said to Zhu Pingan, who was eating very deliciously. One sentence.

Zhu Ping'an naturally understood what Li Shu meant, and it was also an appointment with Li Shu before coming to the Hou Mansion.

"Naturally." Zhu Pingan nodded, and put a piece of pot-packed meat into his mouth. He naturally knew what to do in the Hou Mansion.

When Li Shu heard this, her lips curled into a satisfied arc.

Zhu Pingan continued to eat lunch, ready to open his stomach and have a good meal. The extremely delicious lunch made Zhu Pingan drunk for a while. But not long after Zhu Ping'an ate, he saw a gust of fragrant wind coming, and Li Shu sat opposite him with a smile, her skin was as radiant as snow, and her charming eyes seemed to be dripping with water.

What is this girl doing? You must have taken the wrong medicine. In surprise, Zhu Pingan almost dropped the chopsticks in his hand to the ground.

"Brother Zhu, don't always eat meat. Try this braised bamboo shoots. It's crisp and refreshing. It's perfect with rice."

What surprised Zhu Pingan even more was that Li Shu diligently picked up a piece of braised bamboo shoots with her slender hands and handed it to Zhu Pingan's lips. She looked at herself with shining eyes, so charming that she seemed to be dripping with water, and her voice was so charming and almost soft. human bones.

However, Zhu Pingan soon understood what Li Shu meant.

Because Li Shu's action was followed by a heart-rending cry, as if Brother Zhang next door had discovered Lao Wang lying in his closet. He was shocked and angry, and his anger was filled with heartache.

"You, what are you doing? Cousin Shu'er, who is he? How could you do this?"

Zhu Ping'an raised his head and saw a handsome young man with the look of Xizi holding a heart in his hand. He looked like a husband catching a bitch in bed. He was holding a folding fan in one hand, covering his chest with a hurt face, and pointed at himself and Li tremblingly with the other hand. Shu seemed to have suffered a great deal of trauma.

This man must be the nephew of Mrs. Linhuai Marquis mentioned by Li Shu and Bao Zi. He is not very good looking, but he has the air of being the best in the world. He smells of powder and looks like a typical dandy.

In addition to him, Fatty Zhou was also following him.

Li Shu had already done this, so naturally she had to cooperate.

Zhu Ping'an raised his head and smiled at the young man, then opened his mouth and rolled the braised bamboo shoots handed over by Li Shu into his mouth, chewed hard, and nodded with satisfaction.

Then, Na Saonian became even worse and his face turned green.

"Oh, why are you here? You're so embarrassed."

Li Shu seemed to have just seen the person coming. She seemed extremely shy. She put down her chopsticks and hurriedly covered her face with her sleeves, just like a standard lady who was caught secretly having an affair with her brother. Her pretty face was covered with a piece of cloth. Flushed, Xiaoman stood up hurriedly, stamped his feet, then covered his face with his sleeves, led Baozi's little maid and trotted all the way from the room, disappearing.

This girl, it would be a pity not to be a movie queen

Zhu Pingan looked at Li Shu's leaving back and smiled.
