Rise From the Humble

"Sir, are you okay? Today's office is more than half an hour later than usual, and it's already dark."

Outside the gate of Taicang Bank, Liu Mu and Liu Dadao kept looking at the gate eagerly. Zhu Pingan had already left the office at this time in the past. Today it was half an hour later than usual. The two were worried outside, but they couldn't get in. Go, you can only do it outside in a hurry. At this moment, Zhu Ping'an finally came out and hurriedly led the horse to greet him.

"It's okay. I just forgot the time when checking the account books today and forgot to ask someone to tell you. It's not my fault that you are worried." Zhu Pingan explained to the two of them with a smile while holding the horse.

"Master, don't say that. As long as the master is fine, there's nothing wrong with it." Liu Mu and Liu Dadao shook their heads and said hurriedly.

"Haha, what can I do? Oh, by the way, you should be careful in the future. If people from Taicang offer you food or wine, refuse them. I'm afraid they will have bad intentions." Before returning to Linhuai On the way to the Hou Mansion, Zhu Pingan reminded Liu Mu of Liu Dadao.

"Haha, sir, it's too late for you to warn me." Liu Dadao chuckled.

Well.

What's wrong?

Could it be that people from Taicang?

Zhu Pingan was startled when he heard this.

"Haha, when the young master first came to Taicang to check the accounts, the young lady had already told us. When the young master went to check Taicang, the people in Taicang would definitely do something small. Let us be careful about the people in Taicang and not take Taicang's money. Don't drink a sip of water from Taicang for a penny, unless it is ordered by the Young Master. Don't worry, Young Master." Liu Dadao said with a smile.

Oh, it turned out that Li Shu had thought of the instructions in advance, and Zhu Pingan breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time, Zhu Ping'an was also a little embarrassed. When Liu Dadao said it was late, he was worried that Liu Mu and Liu Dadao had accepted the money stuffed by people from Taicang.

It seems that my self-cultivation is still not good enough. I should pay more attention to self-cultivation in the future, and don't judge a gentleman with a villain's heart.

If Liu Mu, Liu Dadao and others were simple and repaying saviors, then who else could I trust?

"Lest I have long nights and many dreams, I want to finish checking Taicang's account books as soon as possible. It may be a little later tomorrow." Zhu Pingan said to Liu Mu and Liu Dadao.

"Well, the young master should also pay attention to his health. Only when he is in good health can he have the strength to do things." Liu Mu and Liu Dadao nodded, and Liu Mu reminded Zhu Ping'an to pay attention to his health.

"Haha, it only takes a day or two, so don't worry." Zhu Pingan smiled and nodded.

The three of them took advantage of the dim light of the moon to gallop all the way to Linhuai Hou Mansion. Soon, the three people and three horses disappeared into the thick night.

When we arrived at Linhuai Hou Mansion, the moon was hazy and the sky was already full of stars.

The dining table in the main room of Tingyuxuan was filled with food, steaming hot and exuding a strong fragrance.

Of course, there was also an angry beauty with red lips, white teeth, and puffy cheeks sitting on the dining table chair. It was Li Shu. When Li Shu saw Zhu Ping'an entering the room, she raised her pink and white neck and looked up at the ceiling at a forty-five degree angle. On the way, he even rolled his eyes at Zhu Ping'an, and Qiongbi even let out a heavy "hum".

"It smells so good. It seems that I am really lucky." Zhu Pingan said exaggeratedly after entering the room and seeing a table of delicacies and Li Shu with fragrant cheeks.

but

All Zhu Ping'an responded to was a snort and a pair of eye rolls.

Li Shu puffed up her cheeks and sat aside, ignoring Zhu Pingan who returned late, as if she didn't hear what Zhu Pingan said.

It would be better for Baozi's little maid to puff out her cheeks and speak, to defend her young lady, "Uncle, as a slave, I shouldn't have spoken, but uncle, you came too late today. You don't know how powerful the young lady is. Worry. The food on this table has been reheated three times."

"Hun said, why should I worry about him? If he doesn't come back all night, I will be clean." Li Shu glared at the little maid Baozi with her watery eyes, and said with her cherry mouth as red as rose petals.

After speaking, Li Shu raised her delicate and pretty face, facing Zhu Pingan with her chin, and rolled up the whites of her watery eyes.

A beauty is a beauty, even if she is angry, she is still beautiful and fascinating.

Under the candlelight, Li Shu's upturned face was more beautiful and dazzling than any female star Zhu Pingan had seen in modern times. Her pretty face was delicate and white, like goat's milk curd, so crystal clear that Zhu Pingan didn't dare to Look more, lest you look too much and see two holes in Li Shu's face.

Zhu Ping'an wanted to explain, but when he glanced at Li Shu, he couldn't help but be fascinated for a moment.

It wasn't until Li Shu made a coquettish "hum" sound that Zhu Ping'an came back to his senses.

"Ahem, no, I forgot the time when I was checking the account books today." Zhu Ping'an coughed, trying to cover up his embarrassment when he just looked at Li Shu, and simply explained to Li Shu about the time he spent checking the accounts in Taicang. .

"Is the account book more important or me?" Li Shu replied lightly.

"Of course you are important." Zhu Pingan replied without thinking. The answer to this kind of question can only be this.

"Then you're back so late, who are you kidding?" Li Shu raised her pretty face again and let out a coquettish cry.

"I just want to finish checking the account books as soon as possible and finish the errands on hand as soon as possible so that I can spend more time with you." Zhu Ping'an found a reason and explained.

"Just like before, I'm glib. I won't be fooled by you." Li Shu pouted her pink lips and said this with a sweet voice, but she finally looked at Zhu Ping'an seriously.

Seeing Li Shu's coquettish look, Zhu Ping'an coaxed her for a while before finally coaxing Li Shu.

"If you eat all these meals, I will believe you." Li Shu blinked her big watery eyes and looked at Zhu Pingan, with a playful smile on her little cherry mouth, and her big watery eyes flashed with playfulness. With an expression on his face, the flickering candlelight in the room reflected in Li Shu's watery eyes, like stars in the sky.

"I'm telling you, I can eat the whole plate." Zhu Ping'an said seriously and started to eat happily.

"Yeah, you really think you are a rice penny. Just eat when you are full. If you are really full, my mother-in-law will definitely scold me." But when Zhu Ping'an opened his belly to eat, Li Shu was concerned about it. She started to get angry, not even remotely angry.

Only then did Zhu Pingan understand more deeply the meaning of the modern joke:

On the wedding day, my mother-in-law told me: "If my daughter gets angry and unreasonable in the future, just tell me and I will teach you how to deal with her." Today my wife was really unreasonable, so I called my mother-in-law. The mother-in-law said: "Do you think she is a reasonable person? Don't reason with her, just coax her."

Girls really need to be coaxed, and they need to be coaxed to be reasonable and so on.
