Chapter Five Hundred and Thirty Ten Wen and Ten Thousand Gold
There are only ten copper coins, but they are very heavy and feel 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 a heavy sentiment. This is also my nephew's intention. Please don't refuse. My nephew would like to wish my uncle a golden list and a triumphant return." After Zhu Pingan stuffed ten copper coins into his uncle's hand,
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, his 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. What is ten coins enough for? Going to a restaurant to eat is not even enough for a pot of tea! You
A Ming Dynasty champion, a sixth-rank Hanlin scholar, had the nerve to hand over ten coins, which made his uncle Zhu Shouren disgusted.
"Uncle, are you too young?" Zhu Ping'an narrowed his eyes slightly and took in all the expressions on his uncle Zhu Shouren's face.
"No." The uncle smiled dryly.
Zhu Pingan encountered pirates on the sea a few days ago. Everyone knows about the shipwreck. Thank God that Zhu Pingan was able to save his life and come back. It is normal for small money to be robbed or lost in the sea. It is not possible for Zhu Pingan to get it.
Everyone can understand when it comes to paying, and you can't 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 won't 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 don't you 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 solution from Zhu Pingan's point of view.
suggestion.
So great, uncle!
The uncle once again set his lower limit with his actual actions, and once again proved that he is far thicker than ordinary people.
Zhu Ping looked at his uncle quietly. Even though he knew how old he was, his shamelessness still surprised Zhu Ping. Yesterday, his uncle failed to unite with outsiders to seize his family's property. The conspiracy was exposed in front of everyone, and he was chased and repaired by the old man.
But today, the uncle could not only stand in front of him without blushing or panting, without mentioning anything about what happened yesterday, but he could also "force him to borrow money" calmly. When the "forced borrowing" failed to achieve his goal, the uncle would still "force him to borrow money" openly.
Your wife has a lot of gold, why not ask for it?"
No one else has such shamelessness. 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 on the side, heard the uncle's suggestion, patted her thigh, and then reminded Zhu Ping'an.
The daughter-in-law sold four bird's nests, so she must be very rich, and she had long heard that the rich man Li in Shanghe Village had a lot of money. The daughter-in-law just slipped a little bit between her fingers, and it was enough for the boss to take the Yingtian exam.
Grandma, why are you joining in the fun? Yes, grandma has always been biased toward the uncle. This time is no exception and it's 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 whispered briefly to Li Shu.
Oh~~ Li Shu nodded, pursed her red lips and said oh, her dark eyes glanced at her uncle and grandmother, and then handed the red envelope in her hand to Zhu Pingan, with a smile on her face: "
My uncle's exam is a big deal, so of course he must support it. This is the greeting gift my grandmother just gave me. It's very heavy to my touch. It must be a good thing that my grandmother gave me. It must be worth a lot of money. My husband will give it to my uncle on my behalf.
Bar."
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 Pingan stuffed the red envelope into uncle Zhu Shouren's hand again, and raised 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 pigeon gave ten coins, and the pigeon'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 after listening to the conversation between the uncle and his grandfather, he knew that the uncle did not tell his grandfather about the money given by his father. His father carried the three pieces of money that his mother gave to the uncle, which was the result of his hard work.
He had worked hard to save his private money for a year. His uncle didn't mention it at all. Zhu Ping'an 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?" the fourth aunt asked elegantly, raising her voice.
Grandfather and grandmother also turned their attention to the uncle, examining, exploring and questioning him.
"Ahem, if it hadn't been for Zhe'er's reminder, I almost forgot about 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 officialdom of Nanzhili. Why don't you write a few greetings in your name and let me go visit you and take a walk." The uncle touched it.
Touching his beard, he looked at Zhu Pingan 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.
"I'm making my uncle laugh. He's also just entered the official career and has no previous acquaintance with Nanzhili." Zhu Ping'an glanced at his uncle and was a little speechless. He was still thinking of using the back door through connections. Why don't you study hard to prepare for the imperial examination?
Just think about what these crooked ways are doing.
"Alas." The uncle looked at Zhu Pingan and sighed vigorously, shook his head, as if he hated iron but could not make steel, and put himself in Zhu Pingan's shoes, "Xie'er is entering the official career now, and being human and worldly is the most important thing. How old are you, Xie'er?"
I'm still young, so I still have some shortcomings in this journey. Do you know, Zhi'er, that your memorial has caused trouble? You have sinned against Mr. Yan, and if there is no one to help you, this time will be more misfortunate. Please write a few greetings.
Uncle took time to visit a few adults for you, so that someone can help you talk to Prime Minister Yan, and the big thing will be reduced to a trivial one."
"Don't worry, uncle. The imperial examination is a big deal. I should concentrate on preparing for the examination. If the examination is delayed because of Xie'er's affairs, Xie'er will not be able to bear it." Zhu Pingan shook his head.
Uh, uncle is a little confused.
Seeing the disappointed look in Mr. Zhu's eyes, Zhu Pingan couldn't bear it. Mr. Zhu really wanted his uncle to succeed in the imperial examination. For the sake of his grandfather, Zhu Pingan thought for a while and said to his uncle Zhu Shouren: "By the way, uncle, Shi'er
There are still more than ten books at home that contain notes and insights after reading the Four Books and Five Classics. The uncle can take them with him when he leaves. He can browse through them when he has nothing to do on the way, briefly express his opinions, or he can pass the time on the way."
Hearing this, the uncle shook his head very uninterestedly and said, "Uncle brought Zhu Xi's annotations with me. I'm afraid I don't have any extra time on the road. Let's study Xue'er's notes and insights after he comes back from the scientific examination."
Well, the pearl secretly casts the shadow, playing the harp to the cow.
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.
If the twisted melon is not sweet, then forget it.
