Chapter 190 The Nu family is not a tiger
The fat man was confused and confused, and chased Zhu Pingan upstairs.
After arriving upstairs, there was no one around. After the fat man kept asking, Zhu Ping'an said lightly, "Bring more gold and silver to his home to ensure that you pass the exam without any problems."< br>
There were too many people downstairs just now, so it was difficult to speak out. Now that we are upstairs, it is just me and the fat man, and our voices can be heard.
“Huh?”
After hearing the answer revealed by Zhu Pingan, the fat man was so surprised that he could swallow a fist. What's going on? Just now you didn't know that our academic advisor has been replaced by Mr. Zhao. Now you have heard Mr. Zhao's name. , you come up with an idea and ask me to send gold and silver to bribe the exam. Aren't you talking nonsense and boasting?
"I went outside to read this morning and met Mr. Zhao's groom. He was very domineering and almost hit me." Zhu Pingan sat on the table, poured a cup of tea, took a sip and said slowly.
“What does that have to do with your suggestion?!” The fat man complained.
“Because I was about to hit me, I could see clearly that Mr. Zhao’s carriage was extraordinary. It was made of elm trees and blended with spices, and the curtains of the carriage were all made of silk, with gold lines. Besides, the pendant on it is also valuable." Zhu Pingan said lightly with the corners of his lips raised.
In fact, it doesn’t matter whether the carriage of Mr. Zhao that he met in the morning was Zhao Wenhua or Mr. Zhao. This was just an excuse for him to convince the fat man. Anyway, Zhao Wenhua in history was famous for his greed for money. This Zhao Wenhua was a master who was greedy for money to the extreme. He was a ruthless man who even took advantage of the emperor's wealth. It would be strange not to be greedy in the scientific examination. The quota for the back door of the scientific examination is not as advantageous to others as it is to the fat person.
Hear this. The fat man's eyes also lit up, "You mean"
"What did I say? I didn't say anything." Zhu Pingan shrugged and said seriously.
"Hahaha, I understand, I understand, thank you, Brother Zhu." The fat man put his two fat paws together and kept expressing his gratitude to Zhu Pingan.
"This can be done for the scientific examination, but not for the provincial examination. You'd better read more during the period before the provincial examination." After Zhu Pingan took a sip of tea, he said sternly to the fat man Xue Chi.
The scientific examination is an examination conducted by the academic officer to determine suitable candidates for the provincial examination. The right to select students to take the imperial examination. It is completely in the hands of the academic officer. Not so with the rural examinations, which were conducted by the imperial court and sent Hanlin and cabinet scholars to each province to serve as chief and deputy examiners. There was almost no room for sand.
"Brother Zhu, don't worry, brother Yu will definitely have a thorn in his butt." The fat man promised a lot of nonsense.
"You can do it yourself, I still want to read." Zhu Pingan put the tea cup on the side of the table and said lightly.
"Okay, Brother Yu, I will go back and get ready." The fat man also said goodbye wisely, and couldn't wait to go back to prepare the gifts. There is not much time left for the scientific examination. There are not many places for scientific examinations, and in order to be fair, there are even fewer places left for the back door, so gifts must be given as soon as possible. So as not to be preempted by others.
In the afternoon, Zhu Ping'an sat at his desk in his room, practicing eight-part essays and policy theory, and wrote an article of his own. In my mind, I read out the similar No. 1 Scholar papers that I have seen in the past and wrote them down silently, comparing and searching for any deficiencies. Then make corrections and improvements. It would be best to burn these champion scrolls. These never-before-seen No. 1 scholars should not have appeared in this dynasty. Zhu Pingan did not want to leave any clues to others. Only by being cautious can the fittest survive in this dynasty.
Early the next morning, I could still see the moon in the sky when I walked outside. At this time, the moon was blurred. The faint moonlight outside and the morning light complemented each other, making it look a bit cold.
Zhu Ping'an held a piece of black board under his arm and slung his schoolbag across his body, walking slowly from the inn to the woods where Japanese people used to practice calligraphy.
While Zhu Pingan was filling the bamboo tubes with water by the Qinhuai River, a room on the other side of the Qinhuai River was gently pushed open and a girl of seventeen or eighteen looked out from the gap. A vague figure of a student can be vaguely seen on the bank of the Qinhuai River.
After seeing this, the girl gently closed the window and tiptoed to the dressing table to quickly touch up her makeup. She also drew on her eyebrows and eyeliner. Her eyelashes were also carefully lengthened with small clips, and she applied rouge. Gouache has been used in the past I was reluctant to part with a box of more than ten taels of silver, and finally took out a strip of red paper, put it between my lips and held it gently, dyeing the corners of my lips red
In the mirror, a girl was shy and smiling. , the eyebrows are filled with the feeling of spring.
After packing up, the girl quietly walked out wearing gauze clothes. When she opened the door, she made a slight sound, which alerted another girl lying on the bed.
"Sister, what are you going to do?"
The sleepy girl with a ponytail on the bed rubbed her eyes and looked at the half-asleep girl who opened the door in a daze and asked.
"Sister. Sister, please pay your respects. Sister, please go on to sleep. We can sleep in late today." The girl at the door coaxed softly.
"Oh, then I'll be back soon, sister." The girl with a ponytail lay down again and went to sleep. My sister chatted with me for a long time last night and slept very late. She is still sleepy now. After saying this, the girl lay on the pillow again and fell asleep.
Seeing that the girl on the bed fell asleep again, the girl at the door breathed a sigh of relief, then gently closed the door again, walked downstairs quietly, and walked towards the other side of the Qinhuai River.
Zhu Ping'an was in the woods, concentrating on practicing calligraphy, and did not notice at all that a girl covered in gauze was walking this way.
"Mr. Zhou?"
While Zhu Pingan was practicing calligraphy, he suddenly heard a slightly inquiring female voice. Zhu Pingan was startled, and he raised his head and read more Are you shocked, the female ghost in white?
"He is really my benefactor. Fox thought he had seen it wrong." The female ghost in Zhu Pingan's eyes covered her cherry lips with a slender hand and let out a string of sweet smiles, with a smile in her big watery eyes. A deep surprise.
"Who are you?" Zhu Ping'an narrowed his eyes.
"Young Master Zhou is such a noble man and forgets things. That day you even wrote about White Fox for our sisters. You are really talented. Thanks to your benefactor, our sisters were able to win the third prize in the oiran selection. Our sisters' life is much better than before. "Here." The seventeen-year-old girl said as she walked towards Zhu Pingan with her skirt in hand.
It turned out to be them, and Zhu Pingan remembered that.
"Ah, the young master is sweating." The girl walked to Zhu Pingan and suddenly let out a sweet cry, then took out a scented handkerchief from her arms and wiped it on Zhu Pingan's face.
Sweating?
Are you kidding me? It’s still a bit chilly early in the morning. Why are you sweating?
Also, the scent of this handkerchief was too pungent. Zhu Pingan subconsciously turned his head to avoid the handkerchief in the girl's delicate hand.
The girl's face couldn't help but turn red, she took back her slender hand, blinked her big watery eyes and looked at Zhu Ping'an, and said coquettishly, "What are you hiding from my benefactor? I'm not a tiger. I can still eat my benefactor." No. ”
No. Zhu Ping'an looked at the girl's shy appearance and was speechless for a moment. Let's make some yarn, my friend is still young!
