Rise From the Humble

The twilight gradually faded, and the setting sun slanted to the west, half of the sky on the west side seemed to be stained with blood.

The Xiaoenrong Banquet was coming to an end, and Zhu Ping'an was almost three points drunk. In order to relieve his drunkenness, Zhu Ping'an got up and was going to the bathroom to blow off his alcohol.

Zhu Pingan left the banquet room and was about to follow the direction of the bathroom last time when he was stopped by a maid.

"Young master, do you want to change clothes?" the maid looked at Zhu Ping'an and asked.

Zhu Pingan nodded.

"Young master, please come with me. The mansion has specially designated a changing place for this banquet, which is not far in front." The little maid curtsied to Zhu Ping'an, and her little finger pointed in one direction.

Outside the banquet venue, besides this little maid, there were many other maids standing outside, but this little maid's clothes were better. The Yan Mansion really valued this small favor banquet, and even the toilets were given special guidance. It seems that the various extravagant behaviors of Yan Song and his son that were seen in the history books before are not groundless. Looking at the well-trained maid, Zhu Pingan cursed.

"That's it, thank you very much." Zhu Ping'an cupped his hand.

Since someone pointed the direction of the restroom, Zhu Ping'an didn't plan to go to the restroom last time. After all, what happened to Miss Yan Er in the restroom last time made Zhu Ping'an still have lingering fears, and Zhu Ping'an didn't want to touch it again. As for Miss Yan Er, the way she threw her shoes at that girl yesterday cannot be deleted.

The little maid led the way, and Zhu Ping'an followed behind, turning left and right and gradually walked into a group of buildings.

Looking at the little maid leading the way around, Zhu Pingan was a little suspicious. Why was the dressing room prepared by the Yan Mansion for this small favor banquet so remote? Somewhat unreasonable. As a result, Zhu Pingan slowly slowed down.

"Young Master, it's just ahead." The little maid seemed to notice Zhu Pingan's suspicion, so she stopped and turned back to Zhu Pingan.

Maybe he was overthinking it. He was just going to the toilet. There were so many conspiracy theories. Zhu Pingan nodded and gave up his thoughts for the time being.

It is often a coincidence that in this group of buildings, the new Jinshi who got drunk after attending the Great Enrong Banquet one morning, just woke up slowly at this moment, and was going to the Xiao Enrong Banquet in a slightly fuzzy mood. Under someone's bad luck. The little thief avoided the big favor banquet in the morning, and he would not let him avoid the small favor banquet this time.

The man came out of the room, followed the path in the building complex, and took a shortcut to the Xiao Enrong Banquet before it got dark.

When I was about to come out of the path in the building complex, I happened to hear the little maid say, "Sir, it's just ahead."

Upon hearing this voice, the man's expression changed.

This voice is too familiar, isn't this the girl next to Miss Yan, Zichai? In order to get close to Miss Yan, I often send some gifts and poems to Miss Yan through this girl.

She could never mishear this voice, but who was she talking to?

The slightly tipsy new Jinshi leaned against the corner and quietly stretched out half of his head to look ahead, just in time to see the little maid turning her head to speak to Zhu Pingan.

So, the moment he looked at the scene in front of him, the slightly tipsy new Jinshi completely sobered up.

He clenched his fists, with a look of resentment in his eyes.

No mistake, that maid is Miss Yan Er's personal maid, and the so-called young master in her mouth is Zhu Ping'an, even if this little thief is turned into ashes, he will recognize him.

After sobering up, the new Jinshi thought again about what the little maid said just now: Young Master, it’s just ahead.

What's the meaning? What was the previous life?

The smart brain of the newly recruited Jinshi was running rapidly, and then he came to a fact that he couldn't bear: Zichai was almost inseparable from Miss Yan Er, what else could be ahead? ! Cao Ni Ma, are you going to have a private meeting? ! Zi Chai, a pickpocket, is leading Zhu Ping'an to have a secret meeting with Miss Yan Er? !

Damn it, the marriage contract has already been discussed, and just when the marriage contract is about to be finalized, you actually have a secret meeting with a man behind my back!

I was caught this time, but what about before? How many times before? !

It is tolerable, but what is intolerable?

The new Jinshi couldn't bear it anymore, felt that the black gauze cap on his head had turned green, his hands were clenched into fists, and the veins on his face were all out, and he was about to rush out from here, full of the little thief Zhu Ping'an. Use old fists, otherwise it will be difficult to eliminate the hatred in your heart.

The new Jinshi was about to howl and rush out, but suddenly someone covered his mouth and pulled him back into the alley.

"Shh, Mr. Ouyang, don't be impulsive." After the visitor pulled the new Jinshi back to the alley, he shook his head vigorously at the new Jinshi, and then slowly let go of his hand.

"Lord Luo, this is tolerable, but who can't be tolerated!" The new Jinshi's face was full of grief and anger.

Well, everyone should have guessed it, yes, these two people are Ouyang Zishi and Luo Longwen. Luo Longwen saw Miss Yan Er's personal maid leading Zhu Pingan away at the banquet, so he followed Zhu Pingan, but unexpectedly he saw this scene.

"Master Ouyang, please be patient and don't cause any misunderstanding." Luo Longwen shook his head.

Misunderstand your sister! If she’s not your fiancée, of course you should be quiet! No matter how quiet I am, I don’t know how many more green hats I have on my old paper’s head.

When Ouyang Zishi was about to lose his temper, he saw Zhu Pingan, who had not been in the room for a long time, staggered and ran out again, as if he had been frightened, and trotted back along the original road, followed by the dog who was chasing him. like.

"Zhu Pingan, just wait for me!"

Not long after Zhu Pingan came out, Miss Yan Er's angry voice came from the room.

Coming out so quickly, nothing should have happened. Ouyang Zishi breathed a sigh of relief, but immediately became angry again.

This is Zhu Ping'an not acknowledging the past! ?

You can probably guess from Miss Yan Er's angry voice, otherwise why would Miss Yan Er angrily say, "Wait for me!"

Before Zhu Pingan ran back, Luo Longwen pulled Ouyang Zishi into a small alley and avoided it for a while before coming out again.

"If you don't avenge me, I won't be a man!" Ouyang Zishi said bitterly through gritted teeth.

"Master Ouyang, calm down." Luo Longwen comforted him.

"How can we calm down with such deep hatred and blood stains?" Ouyang Zishi gritted his teeth, full of anger.

"What if Zhu Pingan dies?" Luo Longwen looked at Ouyang Zishi and smiled sinisterly.

"Dead? It is against the king's law to kill someone." Ouyang Zishi was slightly startled, and then said hesitantly.

"To kill someone, you often don't need to do it yourself." Luo Longwen said meaningfully.

"You mean to bribe assassins?" Ouyang Zishi perked up.

"No." Luo Longwen shook his head.

"Where is it?" Ouyang Zishi was puzzled.

"There is a county in the southeast that is notoriously dead. There are troublemakers in the poor mountains and rivers, killing officials has become the norm, and because of the continuous invasion of pirates near the sea, there are continuous rebellions next to the Nanban Miao people. But in the past five years, six counties have died in a row. Ling, if he can be sent to this county, hehe. In less than half a year, grass will grow in his grave." Luo Longwen stroked a tuft of beard on his chin, and said darkly.

"Having said that, he is the number one scholar, and as a rule, he will be awarded an official position in the Hanlin Academy." Ouyang Zishi shook his head.

"So what, sir, don't forget Jingcha, this is a God-given opportunity." Luo Longwen said gloomily.

Then, Ouyang Zishi opened his eyes.

"Master Luo, please keep secret today's private meeting." Ouyang Zishi hesitated and looked at Luo Longwen and said.

"Don't worry, Young Master, I have also suffered from this kind of harm. I feel the same way and I will keep it secret for Young Master." Luo Longwen's voice was full of vicissitudes of life, as if he was hiding a story.

"Oh?" Ouyang Zishi couldn't help but glance at Luo Longwen when he heard this, but he didn't expect that he was also a fallen person from Tianya.

"I hope the young master will keep it a secret." Luo Longwen sighed.

"Of course." Ouyang Zishi nodded vigorously.

"That was five years ago. At that time, I was still a well-known ink master, and I had a concubine in another courtyard. Next door to the other courtyard was a young scholar named Zhu. I had met a few times, his face Simple and honest, who would have expected that he would be thick-faced and heartless! Once when I went to bed in another courtyard, I heard the scholar next door playing the flute on the side of the wall, lingering, my little concubine seemed to be moved when he heard the sound of the flute, but I didn’t notice it at the time What, when I returned home, I strongly suspected that the two of them were doing something wrong with me!"

"In the end, I really caught them. I blocked this couple!"

When Luo Longwen mentioned the past, the expression on his face was ferocious, which showed how much he hated it at that time. In other words, Zhu Ping'an's surname is also Zhu, and he is also a scholar, but his face is also simple and honest. Luo Longwen's "care" for Zhu Ping'an probably has something to do with the past.

"You must have beaten the scholar surnamed Zhu half to death, right?"

Ouyang Zishijue's scholar surnamed Zhu would definitely be beaten half to death by Luo Longwen, and it would definitely be the same for him.

"Haha...!" Luo Longwen gritted his teeth and told Ouyang Zishi, accompanied by the gloomy wind.

Nani?

Give them both... Ouyang Zishi immediately said: this, this.

"Ahem, um, Mr. Luo, I still have something to do, so I'll take the first step."
