Chapter 1267: It’s like back then
It’s midnight again, a light illuminates the study, Zhu Ping’an is leaning at the window and waving a brush. The rustling sound of the brush rubbing against the rice paper can be heard endlessly. A cup of strong tea is steaming next to him. There is also a steaming bowl of white fungus and lotus seed soup. In the corner of the desk near the door, Hua'er sat there with a tray and her cheeks in her arms, her little head dozing off little by little.
In the study room, Ruonan, a demon girl, occupied the small bed. Her eyes were in a trance for a moment, as if she had returned to the most relaxing days in the Anqing Mansion Inn: oil lamp, near the window, the young man, writing all night long. Volume.
"Zhu Pingan, what time is it now? You have passed the exam and won the first prize, why are you still not sleeping?” She pouted her little mouth and said softly, half teasing and half complaining that Zhu Pingan stayed up late and affected her rest.
In her opinion, Zhu Ping'an had already passed the exam and there was no need to stay up late reading and writing.
“Tomorrow will be a work-for-relief program, and I have to draw up a plan. You don’t need to worry about me, just go to bed.”
Zhu Ping’an replied without raising his head. , continued to concentrate on drafting a relief-for-work program.
"Isn't it just a work-for-relief plan? You can just give the order directly."
It turns out that they are drafting a work-for-relief plan. The demon Ruonan curled her lips and disagreed. said.
In her mind, being an official is the easiest thing in the world. It is much easier than being a farmer farming or a merchant doing business. Being an official only requires you to sit upright and give orders. Naturally, there are people below to worry about.
“Directly order the work without making a due diligence plan? Is this what officials do?! The geometry of the work-for-relief project, the geometry of the scale, the geometry of the budget, the geometry of the construction period, how to organize the construction, how to ensure the quality of the project, how Pay wages and how to deal with emergencies. If overall planning is not done in advance, then Isn’t my work-for-relief plan a wasteful project of “shooting your head, making a promise, and leaving”! Is this a disaster relief project?”
Zhu Pingan raised his head and glanced at the demon Ruo Nan, pulled down the corners of his lips, and said with a speechless expression.
No wonder the demon girl Ruonan doesn’t have a good impression of officials. Her understanding of officials is simply wrong.
However, in reality there are indeed some officials like this, but I, Zhu Pingan, am not such an official.
"You" the demon girl Ruonan is used to quarreling.
"Please, please stop disturbing my uncle and wasting my uncle's time, okay? My uncle always has to finish writing before going to bed. If you disturb me, he will stay up for a while longer. My uncle It has been more than a month in a row It’s time to rest! Even a tough guy can’t bear it, and you’re still wasting his time!”
Baozi’s little maid Hua’er burst out, her almond-shaped eyes wide, like a little hen guarding her cubs! , shouted angrily at the demon girl Ruonan.
Actually, Hua'er was obviously very afraid of demons like men, but at this moment, she was so brave.
Have you been staying up late like this for more than a month? !
When the demon girl Ruonan heard this, she couldn't help but be stunned. It turned out that Zhu Pingan had worked so hard and worked so hard for the Jingnan floods. But the people outside didn't know. Not only didn't they know, the people didn't understand, especially when Zhu Pingan lowered his head to avoid the flood. After reducing treatment and raising food prices, the people continued to abuse him, especially when they thought that he and others were also among the people who had been abused.
The demon girl Ruonan couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
Zhu Pingan paid so much for Jingnan, but he got a lot of scolding in return. How pitiful.
For a moment, the demon girl Ruonan looked at Zhu Pingan with a maternal glow
After learning that Zhu Pingan stayed up late to formulate a work-for-relief plan, the demon girl Ruonan was also very understanding. Sorry to disturb Zhu Pingan.
She just lay on the bed and looked at Zhu Pingan quietly. She watched Zhu Pingan drink three cups of strong tea to refresh himself. She watched Zhu Pingan rub his forehead vigorously in deep thought. She watched Zhu Pingan write with ink on rice paper one after another. Finally, after Zhu Pingan wrote another piece of rice paper, a satisfied smile appeared on his face. He placed the brush in his hand on the pen holder and stretched. It seemed that he was done.
"Uncle, have you finished writing? Drink this goat's milk while it's hot. Mrs. Wang, who sells goat's milk, said it will help you sleep."
Hua'er offered a cup of goat's milk diligently. A cup of goat's milk, open the lid with your little hands, the goat's milk inside is still steaming.
Watching Zhu Pingan stay up late these days, Hua'er sees it in her eyes and feels pain in her heart. When I was shopping for food, I heard Mrs. Wang, who sells goat milk, telling others that drinking goat milk at night would help her sleep, so she bought goat milk without hesitation. If she didn't have time to feed the sheep, she would even want to buy the sheep back.
“Good work. It tastes good.”
Zhu Ping'an smiled gently and did not refuse Hua'er's kindness. He reached out to take the goat's milk and drank it in one gulp.
"Hehe, my uncle likes it, so I will heat up a cup of goat milk for him every night. Tomorrow, I will ask Mrs. Wang to see if there are other ways to make goat milk, and how to change it in a few more ways. I will never get tired of drinking it."
Hua'er is a very competent maid. As she spoke, she took out her embroidered handkerchief and wiped the corners of Zhu Ping'an's lips.
Zhu Ping'an is now used to Hua'er's service, and it is indeed easy to change from frugality to luxury.
"Ruonan and girl, you and Hua'er go to the back room to sleep. I'm resting in the study." After tidying up the desk, Zhu Pingan saw that the demon girl Ruonan was not asleep yet, so he said to her and invited her to go to the back room. Rest with Hua'er and stay in the study to rest.
"Keke, I don't want to do anything that will bring disgrace to the scenery. Just go to sleep with your little lover in your arms."
The enchantress Ruonan chuckled when she heard this.
Hua'er blushed with embarrassment.
What? ! Zhu Ping'an twitched his lips silently and insisted on driving the demon girl Ruonan to the back room.
"What, has Zhu Pingan never slept with you?"
When the demon Ruonan and Hua'er went to the back room to settle down, the demon Ruonan couldn't believe what Hua'er said.
"Keep your voice down." Hua'er said with a red face.
"Aren't you a dowry girl or a married girl? You are good-looking and have a plump and attractive figure." The demon girl Ruonan looked up and down at the painting. Suddenly she seemed to have thought of something and couldn't help covering her mouth and giggling. He said, "I don't want to eat any meat that comes to my mouth. I'm afraid Zhu Ping'an is not a bad person." "What are you talking about? Don't smear my uncle. My uncle is pregnant."
Baozi's little maid Hua'er listened. When the demon girl Ruonan said bad things about Zhu Ping'an, she couldn't help but get angry.
(⊙o⊙)…
The demon girl Ruonan couldn’t help being surprised when she heard this.
Zhu Pingan is really hard to figure out. If he were a man and put himself in his shoes, he would have eaten it long ago. (End of this chapter)
