Chapter 534 Ten Wen and Ten Thousand Gold
There are only ten copper coins, but they are very heavy and heavy in the palm of your hand.
The uncle looked at the ten copper coins in his hand, and then at Zhu Ping'an's warm and generous face. His mouth was open for a while, twitching slightly, and he couldn't say a word for a long time.
"Sending goose feathers from a thousand miles away is a light gift but heavy with affection. This is also my nephew's wish. Please don't refuse. My nephew would like to wish my uncle a golden medal and a triumphant return." Zhu Ping'an stuffed ten copper coins into his pocket. After getting it into the uncle's hands, he twitched the corner of his mouth and said casually.
After listening to Zhu Pingan's words, the uncle opened his mouth even wider.
After a few seconds, uncle Zhu Shouren came to his senses. He looked at the ten copper coins in his hand with a look of disgust on his face. Ten cents is enough for what? Going to a restaurant to eat is not even enough for a pot of tea! You, a Ming Dynasty scholar and a sixth-grade Hanlin scholar, had the nerve to hand over ten cents, which made your uncle Zhu Shouren disgusted.
"Uncle, are you too young?" Zhu Ping'an narrowed his eyes slightly and took in all the expressions of his uncle Zhu Shouren.
“No.” The uncle smiled dryly.
Everyone knows that Zhu Pingan encountered pirates and shipwrecks on the sea a few days ago. Thank God that Zhu Pingan came back with his life. It is normal for valuable money to be robbed or lost at sea. . Everyone can understand Zhu Ping'an's inability to pay and cannot ask for too much.
However, uncle Zhu Shouren is not someone who gives up easily.
"Shi'er, your wife has a lot of money, why don't you ask for it? When my uncle comes back from the scientific examination, he will not have a penny less than you." Uncle Zhu Shouren stood there and looked at Zhu Ping'an, then shook his head in the direction of Li Shu, He reminded Zhu Ping'an softly.
At this moment, Li Shu was surrounded by her fourth aunt and her third aunt, asking them about what happened to Dahai.
Your wife has a lot of money, why not ask for it. Don’t you have no money? It doesn’t matter. Your wife has a lot of money. Why don’t you ask your wife for some money and give it to me. The uncle put forward a feasible suggestion from Zhu Pingan's standpoint.
That’s great, uncle!
The uncle once again set a new limit with his actual actions, and once again proved that he is far thicker than ordinary people.
Zhu Pingjing looked at his uncle quietly. Even though he knew that his uncle was a good man, his shamelessness still surprised Zhu Ping'an. Yesterday, the uncle's plan to seize his family's property with outsiders failed. The conspiracy was exposed in front of everyone, and he was chased by the old man to repair it. But today, the uncle could not only stand in front of him without blushing and breathless, but did not mention anything about yesterday's events. Moreover, he could "force to borrow" calmly. When the "forced borrowing" failed to achieve his goal, the uncle would openly say, "Your wife has a lot of money, why not ask for it"!
No one else has such shame. In other words, if the uncle uses this shameless spirit in other places, he will definitely achieve something. After all, being shameless is also an element of success.
"Yes, She'er, you can ask your wife for some money."
As soon as the uncle's voice fell, Mrs. Zhu who was paying close attention heard the uncle's suggestion and took a picture A slap on the thigh immediately reminded Zhu Pingan.
Zhi's daughter-in-law bought four bird's nests, so she must be very rich, and she had long heard that the rich man Li from Shanghe Village had a lot of money. The daughter-in-law can just slip a little bit between her fingers, and it will be enough for the boss to take the Yingtian exam.
Uh
Grandma, why are you joining in the fun? Yes, grandma has always been biased towards the uncle, and this time is no exception and it is normal.
"What's wrong, husband?" Li Shu came over and asked, her voice was very gentle and sweet, which made people feel comfortable.
Zhu Ping'an gave Li Shu a brief message in a soft voice.
Oh~~ Li Shu nodded, pursed her red lips and made a sound. Her dark eyes glanced at her uncle and grandmother, and then handed the red envelope in her hand to Zhu Ping'an. The smile on his face was as bright as a flower: "Uncle Kao The test is a big deal, so of course I have to support it. This is the gift my grandmother just gave me. It feels heavy to my touch. It must be a good thing that my grandmother gave me. It must be worth a lot of money. Please give it to my uncle on my behalf. .”
After listening to Li Shu's words, Mrs. Zhu turned away unnaturally, her face slightly red.
"Uncle, just prepare for the exam with peace of mind. We are all one family. Don't talk about repaying the money anymore." Zhu Ping'an thrust the red envelope into the hands of uncle Zhu Shouren again, curling the corners of his lips very generously.
The red envelope fell into my hand with the same weight as the first ten cents.
Another ten cents!
The uncle opened his mouth wide again. He knew what was inside as soon as he touched it. It is true that a family does not come into the same house. The pig gave ten coins, and the pig's daughter-in-law also gave ten coins!
"Oh, by the way, uncle, my father mentioned this morning that he gave his uncle three guans of money for transportation the day before yesterday. Copper coins are too heavy to carry on the road. Uncle, please don't forget to change them into silver coins."
Seeing that the uncle was still about to speak, Zhu Pingan spoke first. Just listening to the conversation between my uncle and my grandfather, I knew that my uncle did not tell my grandfather about the money given by my father. The three pieces of money my father carried on his back from his mother to his uncle were his personal money that he had worked hard to save for a year. My uncle didn't even mention this. Zhu Pingan felt that it was necessary to let his grandfather and grandmother know what his father had done. The provincial grandfather and grandmother thought that his father did not care about brotherhood.
"Brother, didn't you say you were penniless yesterday?" Upon hearing this, the fourth aunt raised her voice and asked.
Grandfather and grandmother also turned their attention to the uncle, examining, exploring and questioning.
"Ahem, if it hadn't been for Zhe'er's reminder, I almost forgot these three pieces of money." The uncle coughed, his face was not red and he was out of breath, and he looked like he just remembered it.
After this incident, the uncle never mentioned borrowing money again.
However, although the matter of borrowing money was not mentioned, the uncle had other ideas.
"Xu'er is now the number one scholar and serves in the Hanlin Academy. He must have many acquaintances in the official circles of Nanzhili. Why don't Xu'er write a few greetings in your name, and I will visit you on your behalf." A moment." The uncle touched his beard and looked at Zhu Ping'an and said.
After hearing this, Mr. Zhu also turned his attention to Zhu Pingan, thinking that if Zhu Pingan helped his eldest son find connections as the number one scholar, the exam would be easier.
"It makes the uncle laugh. He'er is also new to the official career and has no old acquaintances in Nanzhili." Zhu Ping'an glanced at the uncle, a little speechless. The uncle was still thinking of using the relationship to go through the back door and take the imperial examination. If you don't study hard and prepare for the exam, you will just think about these crooked ways.
"Alas" the uncle looked at Zhu Pingan and sighed vigorously, shook his head, as if he hated iron and put himself in Zhu Pingan's shoes, "Xie'er is entering an official career now, so being human and worldly is the most important thing. How old are you, Xue'er?" You are still young, and there are still some shortcomings in this process. You know, your memorial has caused trouble for Prime Minister Yan. If there is no one to help, it will be bad. Young Master. Please write a few greetings. I will take time to visit some adults for you, so that someone can help you to intercede with Mr. Yan, and the big thing will be reduced to a trivial matter."
"No need to worry, uncle. Don't bother, the imperial examination is a big deal, uncle still concentrates on preparing for the imperial examination. If the examination is delayed because of Xie'er's matter, Xie'er will not be able to bear it." Zhu Ping'an shook his head.
Well, the uncle is a little confused.
Looking at Mr. Zhu’s disappointed eyes, Zhu Pingan couldn’t bear it. Mr. Zhu really wanted his uncle to succeed in the imperial examination. For his grandfather’s sake, Zhu Pingan thought for a while and said to his uncle Zhu Shouren: “Yes. Okay, uncle, there are still more than ten books in Xie'er's home that contain notes and insights after reading the Four Books and Five Classics. You can take them with you when your uncle leaves. On the way, I have nothing to do to read it, and briefly describe my opinions, which may help the uncle to pass the time on the way."
When the uncle heard this, he shook his head very uninterestedly, "The uncle brought Zhu Zi's annotation. , I’m afraid I don’t have any extra time on the road, so I’ll study Xie’er’s notes and insights after my uncle comes back from the science exam.”
Well, the pearl secretly casts the harp, playing the harp to the ox.
If it weren't for his grandfather's sake, Zhu Pingan would not have lent these notes and insights to his uncle. However, at this moment, Zhu Pingan regarded something worth tens of thousands of gold, but his uncle dismissed it.
The twisted melon is not sweet, so forget it. (End of this chapter)
