Chapter 767 Returning Late
“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, Liu Dadao kept looking at the door eagerly. Zhu Ping'an had already left the office at this time in the past. Today it was half an hour later than usual. The two of them were worried outside, but they couldn't get in, so they could only worry outside. 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 my fault for making you worry." Zhu Pingan explained to the two of them with a smile while holding the horse. road.
"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.
Uh.
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, so we should be careful about Taicang. "People, don't take a penny from Taicang, and don't drink a sip of water from Taicang, unless it's the Young Master's order. Just don't worry, Young Master," Liu Dadao said with a smile.
Oh, it turned out that Li Shu had thought of giving the order 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 the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.
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 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 and galloped all the way to Linhuaihou 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 is full of food, steaming 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 said, "Forty-five Du looked up at the ceiling. On the way up, he rolled his eyes at Zhu Ping'an, and Qiongbi let out a heavy "hum".
"It smells so good. It seems that I am really lucky." Zhu Ping'an entered the room and saw a table of delicious food and Li Shu with bulging cheeks, so he said exaggeratedly.
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 best 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 worried the lady is about this table. The food served has been reheated three times."
"Hun said, who is worried about him? I won't be clean until he doesn't come back all night." Li Shu's watery eyes glared at the little maid with steamed buns, pouting as if The little cherry mouth with red rose petals said angrily.
After speaking, Li Shu raised her delicate and pretty face, facing Zhu Pingan with her chin, and the whites of her watery eyes rolled out.
A beauty is a beauty, even if she is angry, she is still so beautiful that people are fascinated by her.
Under the candlelight, Li Shu’s delicate and charming face looked up, more beautiful and eye-catching than any female star Zhu Pingan had seen in modern times. Her pretty face was delicate and white, like goat milk curd, crystal clear Zhu Ping'an didn't dare to look too much, lest he 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 while.
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, and with poor acting skills, he concealed his embarrassment when he just looked at Li Shu, and simply told him about the time he spent checking the accounts in Taicang. Li Shu explained.
"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 Pingan found a reason and explained.
"As before, I am glib. I won't be fooled by you." Li Shu pouted her pink lips and gave a sweet sound. She said this, but she finally got it right. Seeing that Zhu Ping'an was safe.
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. There was also a playful look in her eyes, and the flickering candlelight in the room reflected in Li Shu's watery eyes, like stars in the sky.
"Tell you, I can eat the whole plate." Zhu Ping'an said seriously and started to eat happily.
"Ah, 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 started to squeal with concern again, not even remotely angry.
At this time, Zhu Pingan understood 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 want to be coaxed, and they also need to be coaxed to be reasonable. (End of this chapter)
