Chapter 567 Biting the Tongue
When he returned to Linhuai Marquis Mansion from Zhang Siweina, it was already dark. Zhu Pingan was counting the time to return before the night ban. He still didn't want to be a sixth-grade official. Good for challenging the night ban.
We were also traveling together with Wang Shizhen. They were on the same road for a while back home, so they could go back together.
“Zihou, bring more pickled cucumbers made by your aunt next time you come here. They are crisp, refreshing and delicious. They are even better than the meat dishes made by the chef at Ziwei’s house. So delicious, Zihou is really stingy to give us such a small amount." Wang Shizhen held a small jar of pickled cucumbers as if he had found a treasure.
When the three of them were having a drink at Zhang Siwei's house, Zhu Ping'an distributed the local specialties he brought from home to the two of them. The smoked rabbit was okay, but the pickled cucumber conquered the two of them in no time. . They were used to eating big fish and meat. When they first tasted the pickled cucumbers, they were instantly shocked. They complained repeatedly that Zhu Ping'an was not authentic for hiding such a delicious food until now and sharing it with them.
"Everything I brought from home will be divided among you..." Zhu Pingan stretched his arms, looked at the small jar Wang Shizhen was holding, and pursed his lips with some reluctance.
Hearing this, Wang Shizhen hugged her even tighter, thinking about going back and trying the pickled cucumbers with rice porridge that Zhu Pingan highly praised.
Of course, Zhu Pingan did not come back empty-handed. Zhang Siwei and Wang Shizhen also gave Zhu Pingan gifts in return, which were all "local specialties" they brought from home. Wang Shizhen was born in the Wang family in Taicang. Knowing that Zhu Pingan liked calligraphy, he brought Zhu Pingan an unique copybook from his home, which contained a calligraphy by Mi Fu of the Song Dynasty, which was valuable; Zhang Siwei was The Shanxi salt merchant family brought a "local specialty" called Jiangzhou Chengni Inkstone, which was the most popular product in Shanxi at this time. A treasure made by the famous inkstone master Mo Laoqin, Jiangzhou Chengni Inkstone is one of the four famous inkstones in history (Jiangzhou Chengni Inkstone, Guangdong Gaoyao County Duanxi Stone Inkstone, Anhui She Inkstone , Tao stone inkstones from Lintao, Gansu Province), Mr. Mo was an unparalleled master of Chengni inkstones in Jiangzhou. If the Zhang family had not been benevolent to Mr. Mo, this inkstone would have had a price but no market.
With such a specialty, the more the merrier...
Zhu Ping'an put the things on the saddle and smiled in a wicked way.
Along the way, Wang Shizhen took the trouble to remind Zhu Ping'an not to take it lightly. He had just met Li Panlong of the Ministry of Punishment not long ago, and they were just singing poems and wine. Moreover, Li Panlong was only the sixth-rank head of the Ministry of Punishment and had an insignificant role in the Ministry of Punishment, so he also I didn't find out much inside information. However, it was not that the goods were not received at all. I found out that the right minister of the Ministry of Justice seemed to have a close relationship with Zhao Daying, and asked Zhu Ping'an to be especially careful when he went to the Ministry of Justice to express his feelings.
We arrived in front of Wang Shizhen's mansion and said goodbye to Wang Shizhen. Zhu Ping'an rode the black horse directly back to the Hou's mansion.
"Uncle Wan'an."
When the two girls in Tingyuxuan saw Zhu Pingan coming back, they all knelt down and greeted Zhu Pingan in unison.
I'm going
As soon as he entered Tingyuxuan, Zhu Ping'an was startled by the unexpected arrival. It’s so hard to get used to the Holy Queen, a young master from such a distinguished family!
"You are busy with your business, don't worry about me." Zhu Pingan looked at the two girls who were curtsying and saluted, smiled helplessly, waved his hand, and motioned for them to get up.
Despite saying that, the two girls were busy working one after another. One girl went to the bedroom to make the bed, while the other girl made tea and water, and prepared Zhu Ping'an's foot wash.
"I can do it myself." Zhu Pingan declined the girl who was squatting on the ground to wash his feet, and started washing them himself.
"Uncle, please have a bowl of honey and syrup. Sister Zijuan sent it to you." The girl who had just made the bed brought a beautiful porcelain cup of honey and syrup from outside. Light rose scent.
"Put it somewhere, I'll drink it later. Please thank Miss Zijuan for me." Zhu Ping'an was washing his feet and couldn't spare his hands, so he asked the girl to put it on the table aside and drink it later.
"Sister Zijuan told me to drink it while it's hot. Please serve me, my maid." The girl said, reaching out to hold up the porcelain cup with her green-white hands, and brought it to Zhu Pingan's lips.
Uh
Zhu Pingan just opened his mouth and was about to refuse politely. The girl on the side was very experienced in serving and put the honey water in the porcelain cup into Zhu Pingan's mouth.
It has a light aroma and is sweet and delicious. The sweet liquid flows down the throat and into the stomach. The mind that was originally drunk suddenly felt much sober.
Seeing that the girl successfully served her uncle to drink the hangover honey water, the other girl walked up behind Zhu Pingan not to be outdone, stretched out her slender hands and pressed Zhu Pingan's shoulders. The little girl's massage technique was very professional, and she should be a professional What I have learned is gentle and flexible, and the acupuncture points are pressed just right. I feel that the fatigue has been pressed out of my bones, and it is very relaxed and comfortable.
"Go and do your own business, I still have something to do."
But despite this, after Zhu Ping'an drank the honey water, he still declined the service of the two girls and sent them away. Go to the ear room to rest.
The two girls looked at each other in surprise, then bowed and left.
After returning to the ear room, the two girls closed the door and couldn't help but bite each other's tongues in a low voice.
"My aunt is not a lecherous person. Why are he not interested in girls at all..."
"That's right. When I served my aunt just now, my uncle didn't even look at me. He was like a piece of wood. Well..."
"Does my uncle think we are not good-looking?"
"Why? Yes, Master Zhou and the other young masters from the second master’s family have been coveting it for a long time. The second master has already asked the old lady for you twice.”
“Is it my uncle...” One. The girl's pretty face flushed and she came close to the other girl's ear. She blushed for a long time and whispered, "Which one can't do it..."
"I'm going to die, what are you talking about..." The girl Xiao Yuan blushed uncontrollably, and hit the girl several times with her little hand. The two of them were lying on the bed and made a fuss. After they calmed down, the girl with a round face hesitated. After waiting for a while, he leaned close to the girl's ear. , the shy little round face was almost red with blood, "Well, today when my uncle was taking a bath, I went to deliver hot water and I secretly saw it. My uncle's thing was so..."
Xiao Yuan The face girl said and shyly stretched out her little hand to gesture.
Then, the other girl opened her mouth in surprise and blurted out, "Why is it so big... Then how can we endure it?"
"Shh, you're going to die, little one. Please speak up... Why are you so shameless..."
"You still say that I am shameless, but you are not shameless, and you secretly look at my uncle..."
"Don't say anything to any of us. The old lady wanted to point us, Xi'er and Yan'er to Miss Fifth as dowry girls. She said she would choose two of the four of us to marry each other, so she sent the two of us here right then and there. Who doesn't understand what it means to serve my uncle? Yan'er and Xi'er have arranged so many bad things about us behind the scenes. ..."
"How dare they, let's see if I don't tear their mouths apart..."
While the two girls were blushing and talking, Zhu Pingan was sitting on the desk. I opened the rice paper, summarized the news I got from Zhang Siwei and Wang Shizhen today, and analyzed and perfected the response I had prepared earlier. (End of this chapter)
