Rise From the Humble

From family affairs to state affairs, from government affairs to the military, Zhu Pingan and Linhuai Marquis Li Tingzhu chatted in the study for a long time until noon. Linhuai Marquis asked Zhu Pingan to have lunch in the palace, but Zhu Pingan declined but had to accept.

The dining table was filled with a dazzling array of delicacies, including shark's fins, bird's nests, abalone and sea cucumbers. It highlighted the luxury, and was more than a hundred times more sumptuous than the reception banquet organized by the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Tixing Press Division.

However, to be honest, when Zhu Ping'an tasted it, it was not as sweet as yesterday's Jie Feng Banquet.

There were three people sitting on the huge table, Linhuai Marquis Li Tingzhu, Zhu Pingan and Naughty Child.

The naughty boy had just been taught a lesson by the Marquis of Linhuai. His hands were wrapped in bandages, and he had a maid to serve him.

"Fifth brother-in-law, it's unfortunate that you came here. If you had come a few days earlier, you could have attended the banquet for my father to marry my aunt." The naughty boy at the dinner table ate a chicken leg under the service of the maid, with an innocent look on his face. Said to Zhu Pingan.

Wow!

When the naughty boy spoke, Linhuai Marquis Li Tingzhu was holding a wine glass to persuade Zhu Ping'an to drink. As soon as the naughty boy finished speaking, Linhuai Marquis' hand holding the wine glass trembled, and the wine glass fell to the ground with a clatter.

Of course, the Marquis of Linhuai would be nervous. Taking a local woman as his wife or concubine while he was in office was strictly prohibited. Once it was found to be true, it would be a serious crime that would result in the loss of official position.

"Scoundrel! What nonsense!" Marquis Linhuai glared hard at Brother Rui, the naughty child, and then nervously turned to explain to Zhu Ping'an, "Ahem, cough, kid is not sensible. Nephew, please don't listen to this scoundrel. Nonsense, you are not marrying an aunt, you are just hiring a wet nurse for Brother Rui."

The nurse you hired for Brother Rui? ! When Zhu Pingan heard this, he couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. Brother Rui is so old that he has been weaned for a long time. You said that you hired a wet nurse for him. Your explanation is too far-fetched. Sure enough, no matter how good a policy is, there will always be various loopholes taken advantage of when it is implemented.

"Are you hiring a wet nurse for me or for dad? Why does she sleep in dad's room at night?"

Brother Rui, the naughty boy, raised his fat face and narrowed his eyes, looking at the Marquis of Linhuai innocently and asked.

The Marquis of Linhuai blushed and looked at the naughty child with a kind face. His voice came out from between his teeth, "Of course it's the wet nurse you invited..."

"Then" the naughty boy wanted to say something more, but he was interrupted by the Marquis of Linhuai as soon as he said a word.

"Don't speak when you eat, and don't speak when you sleep! How do I teach you this!" Linhuai Marquis glared at the naughty child, and slapped the table hard with a hand like a bear's paw, putting on a selfless and affectionate face. face.

"Ahem, nephew, let's drink, drink. Don't listen to this bastard's nonsense. She's just a wet nurse, not an aunt."

After teaching the naughty boy a lesson, Marquis Linhuai picked up his wine glass with an embarrassed look and emphasized to Zhu Pingan again.

"You don't let me speak, but you yourself said, huh, only the state officials are allowed to set fires, and the common people are not allowed to light lamps."

Seeing this, the naughty boy muttered in a low voice with a fat face and deep resentment. However, although the naughty boy's voice was small, he was so close that both Zhu Pingan and Linhuai Marquis could hear him clearly.

"Haha, the idiom is used well. As a father, I can't help but want to check your homework again tonight!"

Linhuai Houpi looked at the naughty child with a smile, and said through gritted teeth.

"Just check, I'm not afraid." When the naughty kid heard that his homework was going to be checked, his fat face couldn't help but trembled, but he didn't show any fear on his face.

Say the harshest words and receive the harshest beatings. In the Three Kingdoms, you would be Lingling General Xing Daorong.

Seeing the naughty boy's fat face, Zhu Ping'an couldn't help but think of General Xing Daorong in the Three Kingdoms.

Of course, through this incident at the dinner table, Zhu Pingan also understood in his heart. In the morning, when Linhuai Marquis Li Tingzhu tested the naughty child's "It's six months since the birth of a child, my kind father has betrayed him", the naughty child's translation was "Six months after I was born, my kind father was castrated." Eighty percent, no, it was him "Shi" is deliberately written as "Shi".

Zhu Ping'an had doubts in the morning, but now he is finally sure.

The naughty boy had resentment against the Marquis of Linhuai for marrying his aunt, so he fought for the injustice between the Marquis of Linhuai and his own mother.

I guess Linhuai Hou also understood this in his heart, which is why he felt so deeply involved and beat him so seriously.

"Brother-in-law, come here, I have something to tell you." After lunch, the naughty boy said to Zhu Ping'an mysteriously.

"Oh, do you have something to tell me?" Zhu Pingan walked into the room with the naughty boy curiously.

"Brother-in-law, do you have to thank me properly?" The naughty boy stretched out his bandaged paw and asked for credit.

Thank u?

When Zhu Pingan heard this, he couldn't help but smile slightly and asked softly, "Why should I thank you so much?"

"Because before my father and I came here from the capital, Fifth Sister asked me to see how you were doing in the south. I just wrote back to Fifth Sister the day before yesterday, saying that you were doing well, so that Fifth Sister didn't have to worry."

The naughty kid raised his fat face and said, "I'm great, please praise me" expression on his face.

Oh, and there's this.

Zhu Ping'an couldn't help but smile when he heard this. If this is the case, he really has to thank the naughty kid.

"How did you reply to the letter?" Zhu Pingan asked the naughty boy Rui with a smile, "Tell me about it."

"I said brother-in-law, you eat well, sleep well, and marry two aunts," the naughty child said innocently.

Damn it!

What! ? Did I marry my aunt? ! Or two? !

Zhu Ping'an couldn't help but change his face when he heard this, "When did I marry my aunt?! Or two?!"

"The night my father married my aunt, I dreamed about you. In the dream, you married two aunts."

The naughty boy said seriously.

Damn it!

Are you fucking dreaming?

Hearing this, Zhu Ping'an almost vomited blood, "Brother Rui, that was a dream, not reality. Why do you tell fifth sister like this?"

"Because a fortune teller came the next day and he said that my dreams can come true. Dreams come true means that dreams can come true, so I wrote to the fifth sister." The naughty boy said matter-of-factly. Then he said with a look of taking credit, "Fifth brother-in-law, do you want to thank me?"

"Okay, I do want to thank you!"

Zhu Pingan gritted his teeth and said, pulling the naughty kid onto his lap and giving him a slap on the butt.

"Aw, brother-in-law, you are repaying kindness with enmity." The naughty boy yelled.

"No, I am just repaying a favor. Haven't you heard that 'a drop of kindness should be repaid with a fist'?"

Zhu Pingan smiled slightly, raised his fist and shook it in front of the naughty child.

"A drop of kindness should be repaid with a fist. I seem to have heard it before. But what you just used was a slap."

The naughty kid scratched his forehead with his fat paws, his big fat face wrinkled like a bull terrier.

"Oh, you're right, then I'll use my fists." Zhu Pingan complied with his kindness and satisfied the naughty child's request.

"Aw, brother-in-law, that's 'Yongquan' and not 'Yongquan', right?" The naughty boy gained wisdom after receiving a punch, and his head came to his senses.

"Oh, really?" Zhu Ping'an looked like he just knew it, and then said to the naughty kid with a gentle face, "Brother-in-law, let's repay your kindness in another way. Isn't my uncle going to test your homework tonight? I will do it for you." You can take some extra lessons and make sure you pass uncle's exam smoothly."

"You help me with tutoring?" The naughty kid looked up at Zhu Pingan.

"I am the number one scholar, believe me, that's right." Zhu Pingan nodded, with a sincere and reliable smile.

"Okay then." The naughty kid nodded.
