Chapter 313 Confident Sao Nian
Looking at Li Shu swaying and trotting past him shyly, the Sao Nian outside the door was heartbroken and couldn’t figure out why his cousin was so disrespectful to him. The young master of a high-ranking official looked down upon him, but he was so courteous to such a mediocre-looking boy who had no idea of his origins!
I want to be good at literature and martial arts, and I am one of the best in appearance. How could my cousin let herself down? No, I can't just watch my cousin step into the pit of fire, I want to save my cousin!
Sao Nian outside the door was filled with heartache. He walked to Zhu Pingan's room, stood there, pointed at Zhu Pingan, and shouted loudly: "Who are you?! You are so brave, you dare to In the Hou Mansion, he was so arrogant to the young lady of the Hou Mansion."
Zhu Ping'an ignored Sao Nian who raised his troops to accuse him, but turned his attention to Li Yanzhou who was following closely behind him, and asked Fatty Zhou with his eyes who this bastard was.
How dare you ignore me? !
When Saonian saw that Zhu Ping'an was ignoring him, his heart was filled with worry, and his anger rose. However, before he could get angry, he heard this mediocre-looking boy who ignored him speak.
"Uncle, who is this young master?"
Zhu Ping'an's understatement instantly made the young man dumbfounded. What the hell, he called Yan Zhou's cousin. What, uncle? ! What do you mean? Thinking about the actions of Li Shu and Zhu Pingan, Saonian suddenly guessed the truth of the matter, and then his whole body seemed to be struck by lightning.
When my aunt said she wanted to introduce cousin Li Shu to me earlier, I was still a little hesitant. This Li Shu was just the daughter of the third master who was the least favored in the Linhuai Marquis Mansion, but today After meeting Li Shu, I was instantly stunned. This was the best of the best, several times more beautiful than the oiran in the Taohong Courtyard.
Such a beauty should be worthy of a literary and military talent like me! Only a hero like me can be worthy of my cousin! Perfect match! Perfect!
Saonian only met Li Shu once and made up his mind to agree to his aunt. But, damn, what’s going on with this uncle call?
"Ahem. This is my cousin, Zheng Duo, the second son of my uncle Zhejiang Governor Zheng. Ahem, cousin, this is. Well, it was my third uncle who gave me the gift of love in the countryside. The fifth sister is engaged to be Zhu Ping'an. The third uncle has just told the family about the marriage, and he hasn't had time to tell you yet."
Fatty Zhou coughed twice and introduced.
"Ah. Cousin Shu'er is engaged? Or is she from the countryside?" Zheng Duo seemed unable to accept the news. He looked Zhu Pingan up and down with disdain and indignation, "Is cousin Shu'er the third uncle's biological child?" Ah, why did Third Uncle treat Shuer’s cousin like this? No, I can’t just watch Shuer’s cousin fall into the fire pit.”
After finishing speaking, Zheng Duo seemed to feel the call of justice and vowed to rescue Shu'er's cousin from the sea of fire. He turned around with an indignant look and walked out, probably to find Mrs. Linhuai Marquis or Mr. Hou Mansion. The wife went.
"Cousin, wait for me." Fatty Zhou shouted, and chased after him, shaking off his fat body.
Zhu Ping'an looked at the two people leaving, smiled slightly, and a "love rival" appeared inexplicably. It is estimated that his life in the Hou Mansion will not be peaceful, but the soldiers will come to cover up the water and the earth, and then he will lower his head and continue to eat his own meal.
It happened just as Zhu Pingan thought. Just after taking a nap in the afternoon, a boy came to tell Zhu Pingan that Master Li Yanzhou, Master Zheng Duo and the second lady of the Hou Mansion had opened a business in Zhuyuan. Zhu Pingan was invited to participate in the tea poetry party.
Ugh, so boring!
The fat man I kissed, the second-generation ancestor who thought Pan An was alive and possessed by Li Bai, the scheming young lady in the back house. This kind of poetry gathering can, at best, be like the Poetry Meeting of the Chung Yeung Heroes in the Dream of Red Mansions.
However, Zhu Pingan still overestimated this poetry meeting
The layout of the poetry meeting was quite similar. The beautiful maids in the Hou Mansion were mobilized to make tea with bamboos, and the long pavilion in the bamboo garden was also decorated. It was set up, and tables and chairs were added. The props of a curved water cup were specially placed on the table. There were several calligraphy paintings hanging around. I don’t know who they belong to, but they feel pretty good. They were probably found from the treasury to enhance the atmosphere. The ground of the pavilion was also covered with a red carpet, which was spread all the way to the steps, making it look like an Oscar ceremony. There were several potted plants placed in the pavilion, and four incense burners were placed in the corridor. The precious spices were thrown in like firewood, and the smell was strong and greasy.
In addition, a few little maids were artfully asked to play the piano and the zither, and even the pillars were tied with red ribbons.
Damn, I didn’t know that the red ribbon is a symbol of resistance to domestic violence in modern society!
Several ladies from the Hou Mansion, including Li Shu, were also present. There were also a group of maids and old ladies waiting in the venue. In addition, the naughty children and little lolita from the Hou Mansion were also present to join in the fun.
When Zhu Ping'an was led into the bamboo garden by his servant, the young master Zheng Duo was about to compose a poem. Mr. Zheng now changed into a white brocade suit, which was spotless, tight inside and out, very decent, and his hair was crowned with fine flawless jade. He looked far more modest and gentlemanly than Zhu Ping'an.
At this moment, Mr. Zheng has his hands behind his back, his eyes are shining brightly, and his eyebrows are as dark as ink. He seems to be brave enough to be brave, and he seems to be able to express his ambitions as soon as he opens his mouth.
As soon as Zhu Ping'an came to the pavilion, Mr. Zheng moved, with dragons and phoenixes dancing, and he wrote a heartfelt poem:
"Ode to Penglai Pavilion"
What a Penglai Pavilion, with gods sitting on top.
The warm sunshine and sea water shine in the center.
Set a drink by the window and sing to the sea.
If you compare your drinking capacity, it is better to get drunk!
After finishing this poem, Mr. Zheng put the brush in his hand on the inkstone, neatly and in a gentlemanly manner.
Zhu Pingan walked up to the pavilion and saw the poem Ode to Penglai Pavilion. The artistic atmosphere that hit him almost made Zhu Pingan choke.
The second and third young ladies of the Hou family read the poem written by this cousin, and the corners of their mouths twitched, but they didn't say a word. Li Shu rolled her eyes and didn't want to look at it again.
On the other hand, Fatty Zhou shouted a few times, and of course the little maids and old ladies around him also joined in and shouted good poems. Amidst the applause, Mr. Zheng was very pleased with himself.
“Oh, isn’t this a talented man from the countryside? Come on, come on, you can also write a poem within the limit of Penglai Pavilion and have a look. "After Mr. Zheng saw Zhu Pingan, his eyes lit up and he asked Zhu Pingan to write a poem too.
What a Penglai Pavilion, singing to the sea. This kind of poetry meeting, join a wool thread! It is harmful to your hearing! With this time, I might as well go back and read more books to prepare for the imperial examination.
"Ahem, cough, cough, Mr. Zheng is a talented man, and Ping'an is ashamed of himself. Well, Ping'an has something important to do, so I'm sorry." Zhu Ping'an said with a corner of his lips, then he bowed his hands to everyone, turned around and left.
Looking at Zhu Pingan turning away, Zheng Duo felt a little unbelievable. This result must have come too easily. Zheng Duo took the lead in this poetry meeting with the intention of showing off his talent in front of Li Shu, and by using his talent to crush Zhu Ping'an, making Li Shu realize that he was a good match. However, he did not expect that his goal was achieved so easily.
Conquer the enemy without fighting! I almost worship myself!
Look, cousin Li Shu looks at me differently than before.
Zheng Duo felt that he needed to continue his efforts and write another poem to completely consolidate his reputation, so he walked back to the table, picked up the brush and prepared to write another poem.

"I still have things to put away in my room. You can play with them slowly." Li Shu said lightly, and then led the little maid Baozi away gracefully. (End of this chapter)
