Rise From the Humble

"This is this year's top pick, Zhu Ping'an. I believe you all have heard of him, and many of you here know Zihou, so I won't introduce him too much."

After Yan Shifan responded to everyone's greetings, he turned around and introduced Zhu Ping'an behind him to everyone.

"I have met you all in peace."

Zhu Pingan took a step forward with a slight smile, bowed his hands deeply to everyone, and greeted everyone.

"you are welcome."

"Nice to meet you."

Everyone only responded sparsely with a cold attitude, especially Luo Wenlong and Ouyang Zishi. Not only did they not respond to Zhu Pingan, but they snorted and sneered at Zhu Pingan.

It's interesting to say.

When everyone sat down, Zhu Pingan happened to sit between Luo Wenlong and Ouyang Zishi. In fact, Zhu Pingan didn't want to either. Zhu Pingan personally wanted to sit with Zhang Juzheng, but he had no choice. Yan Shifan had just added a chair here, so Zhu Pingan had no choice but to sit here.

"Everyone, please drink this cup to the full. It is rare for us to take a break today, so there is no need to be polite. We are here today, regardless of official position, age, and we are all equal, but we only want to get drunk before we rest. "

After everyone sat down, Yan Shifan stood up and picked up the first glass of wine, smiling and paying respect to everyone present.

"What Lord Yan said is true, but please get drunk before you can rest, Lord Yan." Everyone stood up one after another, raised their glasses together, and drank down the wine in one gulp.

Then, Yan Shifan brought two more glasses of wine with a smile, said some toasts such as welcome, and the banquet began.

The maid began to pour wine for everyone, and hot dishes began to be served gradually.

Everyone was talking, laughing and expressing themselves freely.

Ouyang Zishi and Luo Wenlong deliberately chatted away from Zhu Pingan, occasionally toasted each other, and deliberately ignored Zhu Pingan.

However, the good intentions of the two people obviously did not have any impact on Zhu Pingan, who was immersed in eating delicious food. It felt like two people punched cotton with all their strength, not to mention how uncomfortable it was.

The more he looked at Zhu Pingan enjoying his meal, the more unhappy Luo Wenlong felt.

Suddenly, Luo Wenlong laughed loudly, stood up, picked up a glass of wine, and said to everyone, "Just now I suddenly remembered an interesting incident from my childhood, and I couldn't help but want to share it with you."

"Oh, what's interesting?"

"Brother Wenlong, come and listen."

Everyone looked at Luo Wenlong and asked with interest.

Yan Shifan also turned his head with interest.

Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on him, Luo Wenlong's smile became brighter and his expression became more and more proud, "Haha, since everyone wants to hear it, let me tell you briefly. When I was a child, our neighbor's surname was Zhu. Oh, what a coincidence, we are from the same family as Mr. Zhu, our number one scholar, haha..."

Speaking of this, Luo Wenlong glanced at Zhu Pingan with a smile.

What a coincidence, sister, this guy must not be holding his shit back. Zhu Ping'an couldn't help but rolled his eyes when he heard this. Luo Wenlong is a mad dog. If he sees him once, he will bite him once. He is too persistent.

Haha, interesting.

Everyone here is a smart person. Seeing Luo Wenlong's move, they naturally understood and became more interested.

"Oh, what a coincidence." Yan Shifan smiled.

"It's not such a coincidence. My neighbor's surname is Zhu. He has a child about the same age as me. We often played together when we were young. My neighbor's child was born in the year of a horse. His parents hoped that he could gallop thousands of miles like a horse, so they gave him He was named Zhu Chi." Luo Wenlong couldn't help but smile and preach to everyone.

"Zhu Chi, galloping thousands of miles, this name is not bad."

After hearing this, everyone nodded slightly.

"Haha, Zhu Chi is about the same age as me, but when he was young, he was much stronger than me, and he loved to eat." Luo Wenlong continued with a smile on his face, and deliberately glanced at Zhu Pingan as he spoke.

Oh, I like to eat...

The melon-eaters glanced at Zhu Pingan and became more interested. During the whole banquet, Zhu Ping'an was the most delicious. From the moment he sat down, his mouth never stopped, like a refugee fleeing from famine. Haha, Luo Wenlong is completely alluding to Zhu Ping'an.

"My neighbor dotes on his Zhu Chi very much. He always responds to his requests. He often goes to the market to buy all kinds of delicious food for his Zhu Chi. He often comes back with a lot of food. People see him buying so much food on the road. , people often curiously ask him why he bought so much food. Whenever this happens, my neighbor will say, This is for my pigs to eat (Zhu Chi), pfft... This is for my pigs to eat (Zhu Chi) Of...hahaha..."

At the end of Luo Wenlong's speech, he deliberately pronounced Zhu Chi as "pig eat". In order for everyone to hear clearly, he also emphasized the pronunciation of "pig" a bit.

After finishing speaking, Luo Wenlong laughed so hard that he could hardly breathe, and glanced at Zhu Pingan. He couldn't help but feel proud of his wit, and then laughed even louder.

The implication is unspoken.

"Hahaha... give my pig something to eat!"

"Food for the pigs!"

"What Mr. Luo said is indeed very interesting."

After everyone listened, they repeated it softly and looked at Zhu Ping'an again. Everyone was smiling as brightly as the others, especially Ouyang Zishi, who was leaning forward and backward with laughter and patted the table twice. He was so excited. of

After listening to the joke arranged by Luo Wenlong, Yan Shifan couldn't help but laugh, and turned his head to look at Zhu Pingan.

Zhang Juzheng did not laugh, but picked up the tea cup, covered his face with tea, and quietly observed Zhu Pingan, wanting to see how Zhu Pingan responded.

Zhu Ping'an, who was at the center of everyone's laughter and attention, remained calm and expressionless. He had a feeling of "no matter the wind or waves, it's better than strolling in the garden". Under the gaze of everyone like spotlights, Zhu Ping'an was not in a hurry. I slowly picked up a piece of crab meat and shark's fin with chopsticks, put it in my mouth and took a bite. My eyes lit up. After chewing again and again, I swallowed it with satisfaction.

After eating the crabmeal and shark's fin, Zhu Pingan took out a handkerchief embroidered with a fat duck playing in the water from his sleeve, wiped the oil stains from the corners of his mouth, and then folded it up and put it in his sleeve.

After a series of actions, Zhu Ping'an slowly raised his head, glanced at Luo Wenlong and everyone who was laughing, twitched the corners of his mouth, showed a bright smile, and advised diligently: "Haha, gentlemen, don't just smile. Wouldn’t everyone want to eat such a table of delicious food? Oh, by the way, I tried the crab meat and shark fin dish that Mr. Luo just ate, and it tasted really delicious. I highly recommend it.”

For pigs to eat? !

hehe

You, Luo Wenlong, and you, you, you, everyone here, have you eaten or not? Don’t you have some idea in your mind? ! ! !

When you are mocking me, you are not mocking yourself and everyone else.

pig? !

so what.

My nickname is Xiao Zhi, and I have been called that by others for many years. You are too childish.

Zhu Pingan sneered at Luo Wenlong and the laughing crowd, and pulled down the corners of his mouth in disdain.

Well

Damn it, yes!

For pigs to eat? ! We just ate it, so wouldn’t we also become the pigs in Luo Wenlong’s mouth? !

The smiles on everyone's faces gradually withered, and they turned their attention to Luo Wenlong...

Ahem

Luo Wenlong seemed to have shot himself in the foot. His face turned red and he coughed several times...
