Rise From the Humble

  Chapter 1680 Uncle arrives

  How far is it from Xiahe Village to Yingtian City? The distance between the two places is less than 600 miles, which is not too far.

   What's more, after arriving in Anqing from Shanghe Village, you can take a boat, go down the Yangtze River, and go directly to Yingtian by water.

There is a poem by Li Bai that goes, "Among the colorful clouds of Baidi, a thousand miles of Jiangling will be returned in one day." Baidi City is 1,200 miles away from Jiangling. The great poet Li Bai took a boat in Baidi City in the morning and went down the Yangtze River. , It only took one day to reach Jiangling City, which is 1,200 miles away, the speed can be described as extremely fast.

  Based on this calculation, the distance from Anqing to Yingtian is only 600 miles, and it takes half a day to get there by boat.

  But Li Bai is Li Bai, not everyone is Li Bai, some people are Zhu Shouren.

  More than a month ago, Zhu Shouren and his two good friends Hu Wei and Xia Qiang set off from Xiahe Village to Yingtian.

  It took them several days from Xiahe Village to reach Chizhou, a city along the river farther than Anqing, and it took them more than a month to finally arrive at Yingtian City.

Standing under the majestic Yingtian City, Zhu Shouren stood in a brand-new personal scholar's robe, with his head held high, his head raised slightly, his hands touching his beard, the north wind blowing, and his sleeves flying. From a distance or close up, he looked like a scholar. demeanor.

   One minute, two minutes...

  Ten minutes passed, and Zhu Shouren still maintained this look, standing in front of the gate of Yingtian City, with his head held high and his chest held high, motionless.

   "Brother Zhu, Brother Zhu, although Yingtian City is very majestic, we have participated in the children's test, and we have come here not only ten times, but also eight times. This time it should be enough to watch for so long, let's go into the city."

   Hu Wei, who was standing behind Zhu Shouren, couldn't bear it after waiting for so long, and pressed his temper to urge him.

   I have never seen anyone who can procrastinate better than Zhu Shouren. It took more than a month to walk for two or three days.

  It is obviously faster to go by water, but he wants to go by land, so he should go by land.

Every time he goes to a city, he has to rest for a day, sometimes even two or three days, to taste the local delicacies, and if he doesn’t like the local delicacies, he only eats the famous local wines and dishes. Experience the people's sentiments, what are you talking about, when Yingtian assists his nephew in this line, he will definitely get an official position. You must enter the role of an official in advance, experience the people's sentiments, and listen to the public's opinions... But you can experience the people's sentiments and listen to the voices of the people. Listen to it Come on, what kind of people do you go to Goulan Wedding House to experience and listen to?!

   Eating, drinking and shopping along the way cost a lot of money. If he hadn't thought about clinging to his nephew Zhu Ping'an through him, he would have beaten him up long ago. I have never seen anyone more brazen than him.

   "That's right, brother Zhu, even if you never get tired of seeing the city, you have feelings and poetry, you can't stand at the door and splash ink, you might as well go into the city and talk about it." Xia Qiang also said, urging Zhu Shouren to enter the city.

  He, like Hu Wei, had had enough of Zhu Shouren along the way, but in order to cling to Zhu Pingan through him, he endured it.

   All kinds of flattery along the way, isn't it just to get to Yingtian as soon as possible and be introduced to Zhu Pingan by him earlier.

   Now that you have finally arrived at Yingtian City, you have stood at the gate for so long without going in, what are you doing!!

   Let’s forget about writing poetry or something.

  The poem you made is really eye-catching. I’ve been touting your poem all the way, which made me a little sick, so don’t write any more poems.

  Thinking of this, Xia Qiang hurriedly followed Hu Wei to urge Zhu Shouren to enter the city.

   "Ahem, it's not because I don't want to enter the city, but because I have too little money to pay the entry fee..."

  Zhu Shouren couldn't help coughing when he heard the words, and couldn't hold back his shape anymore, and said to them with an embarrassed face.

"What? Brother Zhu, didn't I just spend five taels of silver with you yesterday? Why is it gone now?" Xia Qiang couldn't help being surprised when he heard the palace, and looked at Zhu Shouren in disbelief. He seriously suspected that he was Not wrong.

"That's right, Brother Zhu, Brother Xia only gave you five taels of silver yesterday afternoon. I paid for the dinner and the hotel accommodation. Brother Zhu's money should still be there? Could it be that Brother Zhu will pay you when you check out?" Has the silver been left in the inn room?"

  Hu Wei was also very surprised, and also looked at Zhu Shouren in disbelief.

   Obviously he and Xia Qiang paid for yesterday’s consumption, why Zhu Shouren’s silver is gone, it shouldn’t be, is it left in the inn, or you think five taels of silver is too little and want some more...

"Ahem, holding candles last night, studying hard late at night, thinking that the place is close to Yingtian, and Yingtian City was attacked by Japanese pirates a while ago, and it was my nephew who saved the situation; now the pirates are getting worse, and the world is getting more and more chaotic. The place is becoming more and more unsafe. Then, I thought of the lonely and weak woman I met during the day. I was really worried that she would spend the night alone as a weak woman, so I went to the door to protect her, and She talked about her ideals in life, and helped her do some physical work by the way... When she left in the morning, she held my hand firmly. I saw her reluctant and hesitant expression, and I knew I had to do something What, so I gave her five taels of silver, although it's not much, but it's a little bit of my heart."

  Uncle Zhu Shouren didn't dare to look at them, coughed, stroked his beard, and explained slowly with a sigh.

   Fuck!

   Seeing what you said with a serious face, I almost took it seriously!

  Obviously everyone is a poor student who failed to pass the exam, why are you, Zhu Shouren, so outstanding!!!!

  Hu Wei and Xia Qiang used great concentration to resist the urge to take off their shoes and slap Zhu Shouren's face indiscriminately.

   "Brother Zhu, the weak woman you are talking about is Xiaocui from Taohualou?" Hu Wei and Xia Qiang took a deep breath and asked with burning eyes.

   "Of course." Zhu Shouren nodded blushing.

Hu Wei and Xia Qiang passed away with breathless breaths. They passed by Taohualou during the day yesterday, and happened to catch a glimpse of the number one girl in Cuihualou, Xiao Cui. The girl experienced the feelings of the people, so Hu Wei and Xia Qiang dragged Zhu Shouren away in the name of tasting the famous local Yangtze River vinegar fish.

   A meal is cheaper than an oiran.

But I never expected that Zhu Shouren, an old boy, didn't talk about martial arts. After eating and drinking, he used the excuse of preparing a gift for his nephew Zhu Pingan to let Xia Qiang take the initiative to support him. He went back to the room with the excuse of reading, and then who would have thought that he would actually warm up to the bed of Xiao Cui, the first brand in the Cuihua Building?

   "I and we have money, brother Zhu just go with us." Hu Wei and Xia Qiang took several deep breaths in succession before controlling the galloping emotions in their hearts, gritted their teeth and squeezed out a smile.

"Thank you, Brother Hu and Brother Xia, don't worry, when I see my virtuous nephew, I will definitely repay you twice. Of course, I will introduce the two great talents to my virtuous nephew to help my virtuous nephew." Zhu Shouren cupped his hands in thanks, and promised again and again. .

   "Thank you, Brother Zhu, what did we say about 'paying back', money is something you do, you don't bring it with you when you are born, you don't take it with you when you die."

  Hearing that Zhu Shouren promised to recommend them to Zhu Pingan again, the smiles on the faces of Hu Wei and Xia Qiang increased a little.
