Zhu Ping'an bid farewell to the Marquis of Linhuai and the Duke of Wei, and went straight back to the Yamen of the Ministry of Justice. He walked around the Yamen and reported to the Lord Neitai about the Duke of Wei's funding of military supplies for the militia. He requested to allocate officials from the Ministry of Justice to accompany him to the Zhenwu Camp tomorrow to collect the military supplies funded by the Duke of Wei.
The governor waved his hand and handed Zhu Ping'an an official document, stating that all the officers of the Ministry of Justice would be under Zhu Ping'an's command tomorrow.
After the court was dismissed in the afternoon, Zhu Ping'an returned to the courtyard assigned to him by the government.
"Uncle-in-law is back... Ruonan, why are you still standing there like an idiot? Go get some water for Uncle-in-law to wash his face."
Hua'er was like a diligent little bee. As soon as Zhu Ping'an came back, she circled around him, tiptoed to help him take off his official uniform and change into comfortable home clothes. While changing into his home clothes, she did not forget to instruct the evil woman Ruonan to get water for Zhu Ping'an to wash his face.
"He is not without hands or feet, why does he always ask me to get him water to wash his face..." The demon woman Ruonan muttered as she brought the water to wash his face. She brought the water to Zhu Ping'an with an emotional look on her face, and then said to Zhu Ping'an in a sarcastic tone, "Wash your face, my dear master."
"It was you who wanted to be a maid, so of course you should act like a maid." Hua'er snorted.
"I am the messenger who supervises him on behalf of the village." The demon girl Ruonan corrected.
"Messenger? An envoy, isn't he just someone who does things for others?" The chubby little maid Hua'er blinked in confusion.
After listening to Huaer's explanation, Zhu Ping'an couldn't help laughing. This silly and cute Huaer was really interesting.
The demon girl Ruonan gave Zhu Pingan a hard look and said, "Hurry up and wash your hands, my dear master."
"Thank you, messenger..." Zhu Ping'an washed his hands with the water brought by the enchantress Ruonan and thanked her with a mischievous smile.
The demon girl Ruonan glared at Zhu Pingan again and said through gritted teeth, "Humph, I'll bring you my foot washing water next time!"
"Bath water?!"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Pingan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows in surprise. Why did the demon girl Ruonan suddenly start driving? !
Not to mention the feudal ancient times, even in modern times, a girl's bath water has a special meaning. Between husband and wife, between boyfriend and girlfriend, after the wife or girlfriend takes a bath, she can let the husband or boyfriend take a bath with the bath water. In short, it is only allowed if the relationship is very close. As for outsiders, it is absolutely impossible.
How could Zhu Ping'an not be surprised when he heard the enchantress Ruonan say that she would bring her bath water next time
Zhu Ping'an didn't mean to tease the demon girl Ruonan, but he really heard it as bath water. Because the demon girl Ruonan said it with her teeth clenched, the pronunciation was not very clear, and the word "foot" sounded a bit like the word "bath".
"Shameless! Who said bath water?!"
The pretty face of the demon Ruonan first turned red, and then she felt cold all over, and she almost dropped the basin on Zhu Ping'an's head. Last time, this bastard pretended to be drunk and tricked me into carrying him, but he took the opportunity to be dishonest on my back... This time, I clearly said it was foot washing water, but this bastard deliberately said it was bath water to tease me! This bastard really has his eyes on me? !
"You said that yourself?!" Zhu Ping'an looked aggrieved.
"I'm talking about foot washing water!!! Feet, do you understand?!" The evil woman Ruonan stomped her feet hard, whether intentionally or unintentionally, this foot just happened to step on Zhu Ping'an's toes.
Zhu Pingan grimaced in pain, but his face showed obvious relief, "Ahem, it turned out to be foot washing water, I was shocked."
"What do you mean?!"
The evil woman Ruonan saw Zhu Ping'an's relieved look and understood the meaning behind it. Suddenly, she felt even colder all over.
This bastard actually despises me!
"I don't mean anything." Zhu Ping'an said speechlessly.
"Hmph, you appear to be a righteous person, but in reality you are a sinister beast in a monk's robe!" The evil woman Ruonan glared at Zhu Ping'an and snorted.
"My son-in-law is an upright gentleman." When the chubby little maid Hua'er heard the evil woman Ruonan once again say that Zhu Ping'an was a sinister beast in a cassock, she couldn't help but stand up again to defend Zhu Ping'an.
"A gentleman? Him? Ha!" The demon woman Ruonan couldn't help but sneer, "He is not a gentleman at all."
"My son-in-law is a gentleman." The chubby little maid Hua'er nodded vigorously and cheered for Zhu Ping'an crazily.
"Ahem, eat, eat." Zhu Ping'an coughed, ending this war without the smoke of gunpowder.
Of course, the seductive woman Ruonan didn't treat Zhu Pingan well at the dinner table. Zhu Pingan was used to it.
"I have something to do tomorrow, so I won't leave for now. As for whether I will leave the day after tomorrow, I'll see what happens tomorrow."
Zhu Ping'an said to Hua'er and the evil girl Ruonan after dinner.
"Okay, son-in-law, I'll do some shopping tomorrow. Jinshan County is a small place, the things there are definitely not as good as those in Yingtian, and certainly not as complete as those in Yingtian..." Hua'er has always supported Zhu Ping'an's decisions. When she heard that Zhu Ping'an might not leave tomorrow but the day after tomorrow, she had already started planning to buy things.
"Why, you regretted not going to Xi Yao Lou last time?! I'm leaving Yingtian for a small county town this time, why don't you go to Xi Yao Lou before leaving?! Oh, men, they are all beasts in monk's robes!"
The evil woman Ruonan glanced at Zhu Ping'an, snorted, and said in a sarcastic tone.
"Ah?! Slim waist?!" The chubby little maid Hua'er suddenly became alert and looked at Zhu Ping'an nervously.
"What slender waist! What are you thinking about? I, Zhu Ping'an, am not that kind of person!" Zhu Ping'an said speechlessly.
“Aren’t you?!” The enchantress Ruonan rolled her eyes.
"I'm not!" Zhu Ping'an said word by word, and then explained, "Today, after the welcoming banquet for Censor Hu, I met Duke Wei. Duke Wei sponsored me a batch of military supplies, and I agreed to go to Zhenwu Camp to collect them tomorrow."
"Oh, who knows whether what you said is true or false. Tomorrow you will go to Zhenwu Camp to lead the troops or go to Xiyaolou to drink and have fun. Who knows..." The seductive woman Ruonan shrugged her shoulders and said sarcastically.
"My son-in-law will never go to Xiyaolou." The chubby little maid Huaer glared at the enchantress Ruonan.
"Sister Huaer, a man's words are lies. If a man is reliable, even a sow can climb a tree..."
The evil woman Ruonan preached in a sarcastic tone.
"Why would I go to Xi Yao Lou!" Zhu Ping'an pulled the corner of his mouth speechlessly, "If I wanted to go to Xi Yao Lou, why did I pretend to be drunk and not go to the welcoming banquet of the Ministry of Justice last time? Isn't it just a waste of time to take off my pants and fart?"
"It's because you regretted not going last time, so you wanted to go and see it tomorrow." The enchantress Ruonan blinked.
See your sister!!! What kind of logic is this! Zhu Pingan was speechless.
