Rise From the Humble

The night was quiet, with a crescent moon in the sky, and the thin moonlight shrouded the dark sky. Thousands of stars twinkled instead of thousands of lights. The cicadas no longer chirped, everything was quiet, and thousands of households fell asleep quietly.

The little maid Baozi and Qin'er were resting in the same room. Although the little maid Baozi was the unofficial maid, she hadn't shown her face yet. In addition, Ting Yuxuan's housing was limited, so the two were resting in the same room for the time being.

Qin'er was breathing evenly at this time, but the little maid Baozi on the other bed couldn't fall asleep. The voice of the young lady she heard outside the study room echoed in her mind from time to time. Every time she heard it, her face turned red, and then I couldn't help but think about what the young lady and uncle were doing now. In the end, I tossed and turned on the bed with my legs crossed, unable to fall asleep for a long time.

In fact, Baozi's little maid had overthought it. Zhu Ping'an and Li Shu in the master bedroom were just chatting under quilts.

Li Shu's foot was sprained. Although it was not serious, it was definitely not suitable for deep contact movements such as stacking and folding.

Therefore, although Zhu Ping'an and Li Shu slept in the same bed at night, they were much purer than what Baozi's little maid thought in her little head.

The next day, the morning light arrived on time as always, and another colorful morning came unexpectedly.

Li Shu's foot has healed and she can move freely after waking up in the morning.

When Baozi's little maid came to help Li Shu wash up with two dark circles under her eyes, Zhu Ping'an had already washed and packed up, and left for the study to do morning exercises.

"Hua'er, what's wrong with your eyes?"

Li Shu saw the dark circles under Baozi's maid's eyes and opened her mouth in surprise. Her red lips were as delicate as roses.

"Miss, I, I... didn't... sleep well, I suffered from insomnia." Baozi's little maid blushed, her eyes rolled, and she stammered.

The little maid Baozi definitely couldn't admit that she heard the young lady and her uncle talking about each other outside the study last night, and then she couldn't sleep well because of her random thoughts all night.

"I've always heard from Qin'er and the others that you are the most heartless. You sleep like a little sow every night, snoring. How did you learn to have insomnia?" Li Shu smiled with her watery eyes. The little maid Baozi saw everything with one glance.

"Miss."

The little maid Baozi lowered her head in shame.

Because at the end of the petition yesterday, the court ordered Zhu Pingan and Zhao Daying to stay at home and not go out, so Zhu Pingan went out every day to read and practice calligraphy, and this morning he changed it to his study room.

After entering the study room, he opened the window, sat down by the window, opened "Zhuan Xilu", read silently, and began to ponder and understand.

The ancients said: Read a book a hundred times, and its meaning will be apparent to you.

Indeed, Zhu Ping'an feels that every time he reads "Zhuan Xilu", his understanding of it becomes deeper, and he becomes more aware of Wang Yangming's academic thought of "To Conscience".

While Zhu Ping'an was reading and practicing calligraphy in the morning, Li Shu led Baozi's maid and Qin'er to greet the old lady.

Given the old lady's identity and seniority, it would be unjustifiable to refuse greetings.

Linhuai Marquis Mansion is similar to other fastidious families in the capital. Unless there are special circumstances, they usually go to pay their respects when the sun rises.

In about a quarter of an hour, Li Shu finished her greetings and came back in a hurry, looking as usual, while Baozi's maid and Qin'er looked aggrieved.

"Miss, they are such a bully, why should they take money from our private treasury." The little maid Baozi puffed up her cheeks and was indignant.

"They were just jealous when they saw us moving yesterday." Qin'er was equally indignant. "Miss, you didn't see that when we were moving things from the carriage yesterday, Miss Six and the others were so excited that they almost ran to the carriage."

"This is a good thing. Being able to share the worries of my grandmother and eldest aunt is a blessing for us as younger generations." Li Shu's dark eyes flashed with a glimmer of light, and her cherry mouth curled up.

"ah?"

When the little maid Baozi and Qin'er heard this, they were surprised that an egg could fit into their mouths. They both looked at their young lady with puzzled expressions.

It shouldn't be. Isn't the lady dizzy with anger? Baozi's little maid thought so.

"Grandma and eldest aunt finally managed to reply. As a junior, I can't be stingy anymore. Qin'er, later you can tell the accountant to give them an extra 20%." Li Shu's beautiful eyes rolled, and she smiled, with two words appearing on her pretty face. A dimple, very cute and cute.

"ah?"

When Baozi's maid and Qin'er heard this, they were completely shocked. It's not just the money, but an extra 20%? !

The young lady must be really angry. The little maid Baozi and Qin'er looked at their young lady blankly.

"My money is not that easy to get"

Li Shu's cherry mouth curled up, she said something meaningful, and she walked away to Tingyu Xuan, as graceful and spiritual as a little fox.

After morning reading, the happiest thing is breakfast.

Zhu Pingan feels that his dietary standards have made a leap since Li Shu came back.

I never tire of fine food, and I never tire of fine food.

Full of color and fragrance.

Even the breakfast is so appetizing.

After Zhu Pingan and Li Shu had breakfast together, they went to the study together. Baozi's little maid served Li Shu and checked the account books on the couch, while Zhu Pingan continued to read in the study.

After about a cup of tea, Brother Rui, a naughty boy with a fat face, ran up behind little Loli Niuniu.

"Hello sister, hello brother-in-law"

The little loli girl Niuniu has a sweet mouth. When she entered the study, she first said hello to Li Shu who was lying on her back, and then said hello to Zhu Ping'an who was sitting at the desk.

"Hello fifth sister, hello brother-in-law."

The naughty kid followed the little loli Niuniu and said hello to Li Shu. When he turned to say hello to Zhu Ping'an, he almost blurted out "Brother-in-law", said a native word, but quickly changed his words. The new wife hasn’t visited the country bumpkin brother-in-law yet, and she will still have to say good things to the country bumpkin brother-in-law when the time comes.

Fortunately, I reacted quickly and corrected my statement in time. The naughty boy was very proud of himself, and his little fat face exuded the light of fascinated confidence.

I secretly glanced at Zhu Pingan and saw that Zhu Pingan was still smiling and talking to sister Niuer. I thought he was smart and quick to react, and even his country bumpkin brother-in-law who won the first prize in the exam didn't hear it. Thinking about it, then I Isn't it much better than the country bumpkin brother-in-law? Then in the future, wouldn't he also be able to take the top prize? Haha, I'm excited just thinking about it. I will definitely make the country bumpkin brother-in-law look good. So, the naughty boy was even more complacent, grinning with his mouth wide open. It's almost up to the ears.

The little loli Niuniu is well-behaved and sensible. She has a sweet mouth and is very lovable.

Li Shu asked the little maid Baozi to go outside and bring some snacks and seasonal fruits, and coaxed the little loli Niuniu and the naughty boy Rui Geer to play in the study.
