Rise From the Humble

"Zihou is a young man who is precious early. If the nursery is good, it is commendable. If the trees are beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy them; if they are piled on the shore, the current will be turbulent; if they are higher than people, the crowd will be wrong; if the flow is high If you are frivolous and willful, you may have the talents of the world, and it is difficult to have the opportunity to display them. You must know that a gentleman hides his utensils in his body and waits for the time to move. Therefore, today, as a teacher, I will give you the eight characters. Be careful with your words and actions.”

"I have no worries about the memorial. Even if there are wind and rain, it will not damage the foundation."

Since Zhu Pingan made the suggestion of "turning a tiger into a dragon", Xu Jie has become more appreciative of Zhu Pingan, and his words have become more intimate. Zhu Pingan breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he had passed the test today, and he might not be able to show much effect now, but when Xu Jie overthrew Yan Song, he would definitely benefit greatly.

Of course, you still have to walk the road of life on your own, but good winds send me to the blue clouds with their own strength. Why not take advantage of the wind when it comes? As Lei Jun, the founder of Xiaomi, said: A pig stands on the wind. If the wind is in the right position, the pig can fly.

I have the advantage of being familiar with history. When it comes to finding outlets, I believe there are few in this Ming Dynasty who can match me.

Zhu Pingan stayed at Xu Jie's mansion for more than an hour, mostly listening to Xu Jie's teachings, until the steward of Xu's mansion came to tell Xu Jie that someone from the palace was urging Qingci, and Zhu Ping'an's visit came to an end.

"Okay, the Holy One has a lot to do, and the future will be long. If Zi Hou has nothing to do in the future, he doesn't need to ask for a letter. You can come to me at any time, whether it's a humble house or a court house, and you don't need to be formal." Xu Jie laughed after listening to the steward's reminder. , said kindly to Zhu Pingan.

This little adult actually received such care from an adult? In my impression, Mr. Zhang only received this kind of treatment after visiting several times. This young adult must have only paid a formal visit to the adult once, but he received such treatment.

I have to write down this little adult. Those who can get the attention of adults are not ordinary people.

The steward next to him stood aside, looked at Zhu Ping'an more, and memorized Zhu Ping's appearance and name by heart. Later, he had to explain to the servants in the mansion and the porter. If this little adult came to the door in the future, he would directly invite him into the mansion. That’s it, don’t neglect it.

"Teacher" Zhu Ping'an heard the words, made a look of excitement and couldn't help himself, bowed deeply to thank Xu Jie with great joy, as if he was so excited that he didn't know how to express it in words, and said after a long time, "Students, remember , the student resigned."

Seeing this, Xu Jie nodded, smiled and comforted Zhu Pingan, and sent Zhu Pingan to the door of the reception room.

"If you have time, you might as well visit Mr. Yange." Xu Jie watched Zhu Ping'an off at the door and gave a meaningful warning.

"Students, please note this." Zhu Pingan nodded in agreement.

Visiting Yan Song?

Yan Song, Yan Shifan, Second Miss Yan, and Li Niang Zhu Pingan thought for a while, turned around and left with a wry smile.

As soon as summer came, the days became longer. When we left Xu Mansion, the sun was still hanging in the western sky, but the light became much softer, and the impetuous temperature in the air also dropped a bit. On the trees on both sides of the locust alley, cicadas are still calling tirelessly, cicadas, cicadas

After walking out of Huaishu Alley, Zhu Pingan remembered that the black horse that killed the horse was still tied up in the Hanlin Academy stables, so he went around to the Hanlin Academy to lead the black horse. At this time, all the colleagues in the Imperial Academy were off work, and only the subordinates on duty saw Zhu Ping'an coming and bowed down to pay respects. Zhu Ping waved them to go on their own, and led the dark horse of Shamat out of the Imperial Academy. , got on his horse, and turned all the way back to Linhuai Hou Mansion.

When Zhu Pingan rode back to Huaihou Mansion on horseback, on the only way he had to pass, a few men with rat-headed camphors followed for a while, stopped in front of a wine shop, whispered to each other for a while, then entered the wine shop, took out I bought a handful of scrap money, yelled at the boss to serve wine and meat, and started eating and drinking without any hope.

When we returned to the Linhuai Marquis Mansion, the sun's radiance became softer, and the sunlight seemed to be dyed, becoming more and more golden.

"My uncle, Wan'an."

"Good luck to you, uncle."

The two little girls at the door of Tingyuxuan saw Zhu Ping'an coming back from a distance. They held their left knees with both hands and bowed their heads to say hello.

"Well, hello, go ahead and don't worry about me." Zhu Pingan nodded to the two of them and entered Tingyuxuan.

"Yeah, the country bumpkin brother-in-law is here."

"Shh, keep your voice down, and don't call my brother-in-law a bumpkin."

When Zhu Ping'an walked into Ting Yuxuan, he heard the sounds of naughty children and Niu Niu coming from Ting Yuxuan's bedroom. He couldn't help but smile, shook his head, and walked in.

Sure enough, as soon as he went in, he saw the bear boy, his mouth was still stuffed with the food he brought back from home, his mouth was greasy, and Xiaopang was still holding the bone of the smoked rabbit leg in his hand.

There was no shreds of meat on the bones of the rabbit legs, and it was obvious that the meat had been chewed into the mouths of naughty children.

Seeing Zhu Ping'an walk in, the bear boy tried his best to swallow the rabbit meat in his mouth, and the chubby hand on the other hand hid the bone of the rabbit's leg back. As a result, there was too much meat in his mouth, although he tried his best to swallow it , but he almost choked himself to death and rolled his eyes out.

There is also an open jar of pickled cucumbers on the table, which has obviously been eaten by naughty children.

faint

Zhu Ping'an couldn't laugh or cry when he saw this. This naughty kid was not afraid to hold on after eating so much. The pickled cucumbers were so salty that he didn't know how to drink some water.

"Is it delicious? Come and drink some water."

Zhu Pingan asked with a smile, walked to the table, added some hot water to the teapot, poured a cup of tea for the naughty kid, and invited the naughty kid to come over and drink water.

"I don't want hiccups, who knows if you have poisoned the tea." The bear child looked at Zhu Ping'an's mocking eyes when he entered the door, holding a grudge, puffing his cheeks, hugging his fat paws on his chest, and hitting the ground with his feet , looking like he was in need of a beating.

"There is no poison in the tea." Zhu Pingan prolonged the end, then hooked the corners of his lips in a wicked way, lowered his voice, and said in an exaggerated hoarse voice, "But there was a bottle of 'Smiling Half-Step Epilepsy' in the rabbit meat .”

"Oh, you may not know what Michelle half-step epilepsy is. This is the most strange poison in the world. It is made of honey, Chuanbei, bellflower, and Tianshan snow lotus. It does not need to be refrigerated or preserved. The agent, in addition to being highly toxic, tastes delicious especially when paired with smoked rabbit meat.”

"However, after eating, you must not laugh or take half a step, otherwise your blood will flow backwards, you will become obsessed, and your whole body will explode."

Zhu Pingan lowered his voice, made an explosive gesture, and spit out a blast sound.

"ah!."

The bear kid believed it was true, his face changed drastically, and he stretched out his fat paws to touch his throat, but he vomited vigorously. He wanted to spit out the rabbit meat he had just eaten, but he had eaten it long ago, so he stuck out his tongue dryly. I can't even spit out my hair.

"Hahaha" Zhu Pingan couldn't help laughing when he saw this. This naughty kid is so stupid and cute.

"Hum!" The naughty kid realized that he had been fooled and glared at Zhu Pingan several times like a fat toad.
