Rise From the Humble

  Chapter 86 A certain person goes down the river, Zhu Ping'an

   "Young master's eyes are as sharp as torches, and the tattoo is thirty taels of silver. This is what you got."

  The man who opened the bet passed through the crowd, came to Zhu Ping'an, and offered Zhu Ping'an the ten times the bet he had won with both hands.

   "Thank you." Zhu Pingan took the money bag and cupped his hands in thanks.

   The betting money is in a small purse, which is all the scattered silver that everyone bet, a total of thirty taels.

   "How dare, the young master has a unique eye, which is admirable. Dare to ask the young master's name?"

  The man who opened the handicap slightly turned his body, not daring to accept Zhu Ping'an's gift. Regardless of whether the bet that the young man in front of him just made was a smart eye, or sheer boldness, no matter what, the future of this seemingly simple and honest young man is limitless.

   "Don't dare to be a big name, so I will go to the river, Zhu Ping'an." Zhu Ping'an said casually, weighing the purse.

"what?"

  The man who opened the market was very surprised. He never thought that the simple and honest boy standing in front of him was the lucky boy who was bitten by a snake and heard a bird singing in his book.

   It's totally wrong.

   "Young Master is Zhu Ping'an." The man who opened the market muttered to himself, remained silent for a moment, and then bowed his head, "I hope that you will forgive me if there is something in the book that offends you."

  Zhu Ping'an put the money bag in his arms, looked up at him, and said with a simple and honest smile, "Why, thank you for not being in time, thanks to you, the money for the government examination is now available."

   "Young Master, you are very human." The man who opened the market thanked him again and left.

  At this time, the uncle Zhu Shouren really accepted the reality that Zhu Ping'an was once again in the first place in high school, but he had mixed feelings in his stomach, which was hard to describe. This reality is really too difficult for them to accept. Zhu Ping'an is only thirteen years old, and the rice he has eaten is not as much salt as he and others have eaten. , Then how do you understand this time, **** luck is a rare thing in a hundred years in the imperial examination room, how could it be possible to get **** luck twice in a row, but people who ate, drank and slept in the exam room, why did they happen to be two? Every time in the list.

   "Congratulations, brother An, I've been waiting for Meng Lang for several times."

The one who failed this time seems to have lost his original frivolity after being hit by the failure, and became more stable. He also has a new view on Zhu Ping'an. He can walk twice with **** luck, which shows that Zhu Ping'an is also a bit of a real talent. , So I congratulated Zhu Ping'an again with an apologetic face.

   "No, it's just a fluke."

   There is nothing good about being able to make amends. Zhu Ping'an is not a small person. He responded calmly and gave others a step down.

However, not everyone thinks so. The other three people on the list, including uncle Zhu Shouren and others insisted that Zhu Ping'an might have been lucky again in this exam, or he just happened to meet the original Question and so on, just like a cow that hits the south wall and doesn't look back.

"Ping An was lucky enough to win a little bit of lottery this time. I tried to pay 20 taels in the Ziliu Mansion. The remaining 12 taels are probably gambling funds of the lords. Take them back." Zhu Pingan took the 30 taels of lottery and kept 20 taels for himself. Two, and the other ten taels had to be returned to uncle Zhu Shouren and the others.

  In fact, it is not how generous Zhu Pingan is, let alone how great the Virgin Mary Su Yide is, but because of the situation. On the one hand, after all, it is good luck, and I bought thirty taels with three taels of silver, and I kept twenty taels, which is enough, so I can’t be too greedy; Repaying grievances with virtue, and gaining a good reputation with ten taels of silver, why not do it.

  As for the uncle Zhu Shouren and others, you have never heard of Zheng Zhuanggong in the Spring and Autumn Period.

   Sometimes connivance is also a means.

As soon as Zhu Pingan said a word, uncle Zhu Shouren reacted immediately, took ten taels of silver in his hands, and then distributed them to everyone one by one according to their respective bets. In the end, uncle Zhu Shouren left half a tael of silver in his hands without revealing it. Sensual, put your hands in your sleeves.

  This time, the rankings are repeated again, including the first and second rankings. There are more than 500 people in the rankings. Those who were on the list happily returned to the inn to prepare for the next exam, and those who failed the list returned to their hometown in despair. Only Zhu Ping'an remained calm and looked the same.

   "A few days ago, we were blind to gold inlaid with jade, and hoped that Brother An would not blame me. This time we will return home."

  After Zhu Pingan’s behavior of returning the bet just now, the students and scholars who failed the ranking have greatly changed their opinion of Zhu Pingan. Before packing up their things and returning to their hometown, the three students and scholars came to Zhu Pingan’s room and bowed their hands to say goodbye to Zhu Pingan.

   "Why, it's because I behaved too badly." Zhu Ping'an was reading a book in the room, immediately put down the book, got up and responded one by one.

   "Brother An, do you have a message, we can take it back to Brother An's house by the way." The scholar who failed the exam asked kindly.

"Well, then I have trouble. Please tell my parents that everything is fine outside, and the house test is also available, so I don't have to worry about it at home." Zhu Ping'an was not polite, and asked them to bring a message to his family. Save it for your eldest brother to get married, so you don't have to worry about yourself anymore.

   "An Geer is the best." The student who failed the exam praised.

When he was about to leave, some students looked at the Four Books and Five Classics spread out on the desk by Zhu Ping'an, as well as the rice paper used repeatedly on the front and back, and said with emotion: "We can't see Mount Tai with a single leaf, and Ange's hard work is far from what we can do. I can reach it."

   "I don't have enough intelligence, so I can only work harder. The so-called learning is like a bow and crossbow, and talent is like a cluster of arrows." Zhu Pingan spread his hands and said casually.

   Unexpectedly, as soon as he said a word, the eyes of the students who failed the rankings lit up, and they murmured repeatedly: "Study is like a bow and crossbow, talent is like a cluster of arrows, good sentences, good sentences, An Geer is a great talent."

  Uh, seeing the admiration of the three failed students, Zhu Pingan realized that he had accidentally said a famous sentence from Yuan Mei in the Qing Dynasty, but once he said it, he couldn’t change it, so he had to explain:

   "It's not my words, this is my hearsay."

   I don't know Zhu Ping'an's explanation, how much the three students who failed the exam believed, anyway, when they finally said goodbye and left, Zhu Pingan didn't see it either.

  After sending away a few students who failed the exam, Zhu Pingan went back to his room to read the books. The Four Books that Zhu Xi annotated were really nerve-wracking to read. Because of some comments, it is very likely that the old master Zhu had a flash of inspiration when he was squatting on the toilet; it may also be that the old master Zhu had nothing to do and thought about a certain sentence for ten days and a half months. In many cases, if he hadn't written it down, he probably wouldn't be able to understand it himself, let alone other people. As a result, the students and scholars struggling for the imperial examinations worked hard to study Zhu Xi's version, and at the same time greeted Zhu Xi's family in various languages.

  But no matter how troublesome it is, if you want to take the imperial examination, you have to study hard and calmly. Who asked him to make annotated books as imperial examination reference books?

  The sun shines through the window, dyeing Zhu Ping'an's body golden yellow, leaving an indelible shadow on the ground and wall.
