In a blink of an eye, Shen Lian's fate changed from being beheaded to being exiled. While people who were paying attention to this matter were racking their brains to guess why Emperor Jiajing changed his mind so quickly, the instigator Zhu Ping'an had already returned slowly to Linhuai Marquis Mansion.
With Zhu Ping'an's success as the top scholar, his status in Linhuai Marquis's mansion rose sharply. The maids in the mansion almost turned into fans when they saw Zhu Ping'an. If it weren't for the image of Li Shu holding a horsewhip that was deeply imprinted in their minds a few days ago, they would definitely not just greet him with a blushing face and say hello. But even so, they all blushed like little deer.
Zhu Ping'an had just returned to the guest room when Li Shu came over with her maid Baozi. Baozi was holding a food box in her arms, which contained prepared meals.
Zhu Ping'an went to the court to express his gratitude early in the morning and did not have time to eat breakfast. He just had a small snack. Now he saw the maid Baozi bringing out porridge, side dishes, braised beef, etc., and his appetite could no longer be suppressed.
Eating braised beef in soy sauce in winter is simply a pleasure, especially the dish of braised beef served by Baozi, a maid. The beef is oily and bright red, with thin slices stacked like petals, topped with coriander and refreshing radish strips, and steaming clear porridge. It is simply too delicious.
"Thank you very much." Zhu Ping'an bowed to Li Shu and showed the unique smile of a foodie.
"I don't want someone to starve to death and then give me the reputation of being a jinx." Li Shu rolled her eyes proudly and pouted her rosy lips.
Sure enough, the little girl is still as unlovable as ever. Fortunately, I never had any expectations of her.
Zhu Ping'an shook his head slightly and smiled, then sat down at the table to deal with the delicious food. The familiar unique flavor of the Li family chef filled his taste buds, the sauce was rich, the meat was chewy and tender, and the taste was amazing.
For a moment, Zhu Ping'an was completely immersed in the ocean of delicious food and couldn't extricate himself.
On the other side, Li Shu sat at the desk, holding a book in her delicate hands. Her eyes fell on Zhu Ping'an who was eating happily. Seeing Zhu Ping'an eating so happily, Li Shu's big watery eyes on her pretty face couldn't help but narrowed into crescents, seeming to enjoy it very much.
When Zhu Ping'an put the last piece of braised beef with coriander into his mouth, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of Li Shu, who was squinting at the desk.
"Uh...what are you doing?" Zhu Ping'an burped and asked curiously.
When Li Shu was asked by Zhu Ping'an for the first time, she looked a little flustered, but soon she was high-spirited again.
"Hehe... You are like a toad that has eaten swan meat."
Li Shu pointed at Zhu Ping'an with one hand and covered her mouth with the other hand and started to giggle. The white swan pendant hanging on her pink earlobe swayed and flickered under the reflection of the sunlight, which was very conspicuous.
Girl, you forgot to take your medicine!
After hearing what Li Shu said, Zhu Ping'an rolled his eyes, then lowered his head and continued to drink his porridge and eat his side dishes.
Upon seeing this, Li Shu first breathed a sigh of relief, then rolled her teeth in disdain.
Not long after Zhu Ping'an finished his meal, the naughty boy was brought in by a servant with a face full of bitterness and hatred. This was the intention of Linhuai Hou. While Zhu Ping'an had not yet officially started working, he wanted to let the naughty boy be influenced by Zhu Ping'an, hoping that those who are close to Zhu will be red, and those who are close to ink will be black.
Looking at the little eyes full of bitterness and hatred, Zhu Ping'an knew that in the next two days, Linhuai Hou would definitely compare him to the neighbor's child to educate the naughty child.
The servant brought the naughty child to Zhu Ping'an, greeted Zhu Ping'an and Li Shu, and then left.
"You guys take care of your own things, don't worry about me. Sixth sister in the mansion is always unhappy with me, so I'm hiding here to have some free time." Li Shu occupied Zhu Ping'an's desk, waved her hand calmly, and then took over the magpie's nest with peace of mind.
In modern society, there are more people sitting in classrooms, and there are more girls. Zhu Pingan didn't take Li Shu sitting in front of his desk seriously at all. Zhu Pingan just read his own book while instructing the naughty kid to read.
After a while, little Lolita Niuniu also came. The tender little Lolita had a small cloth bag hanging around her neck, and in the small cloth bag were her favorite snacks.
"Hello, Fifth Sister. Niuniu will give you some candy." After the little girl entered the room, she glanced at the people in the room, then ran to Li Shu and took out a piece of candy from the small cloth bag hanging around her neck. She handed it to Li Shu like offering a treasure.
"Thank you, sister Niu'er." Li Shu took the candy from the little Lolita, touched her little head with a smile, and gave her a golden bean as a return gift.
"Brother-in-law eats candy..."
After giving it to Li Shu, the little girl ran happily to Zhu Ping'an, took out a piece of candy from her little pocket and gave it to Zhu Ping'an, tilting her chubby little face and smiling cutely.
I was caught off guard and was attracted by it.
In return, Zhu Ping'an gave the little Loli a silver bean and told her a fairy tale.
The naughty child had no interest in studying to begin with. After the little girl came, he completely stopped studying. He scratched his head, looked around, swayed left and right, and just didn't read. Zhu Pingan saw this and naturally stopped the naughty child's behavior.
However, the naughty kid seemed to have a bad temper and was not cooperative at all.
"Why do you care about me?" The naughty kid raised his fat face, full of arrogance.
"Because I am your teacher, you have to listen to me." Zhu Ping'an smiled slightly.
"You are my teacher?" The naughty kid raised his fat face and snorted, "You said so yourself, right? I don't recognize you."
"Oh? Then what do you say we should do?" Zhu Ping'an's smile became even more intense, as if teasing naughty kids was the most fun thing.
"What should I do?" The naughty child asked himself, then lowered his head to think. After a moment, the naughty child raised his head with shining eyes.
"Let's play rock-paper-scissors, and whoever wins will be the teacher." The naughty child seemed very confident in his rock-paper-scissors game.
"Okay." Zhu Pingan nodded.
Rock-Paper-Scissors is a game that has been passed down for thousands of years. In modern times, a doctor has written a doctoral dissertation on it. Because it was a news headline at the time, Zhu Pingan downloaded and read the dissertation after reading the news. It was well written, and then he studied the game. Now seeing the confident chubby face of the naughty child, he couldn't help but smile.
"I'm going to play paper this time." Zhu Ping'an said to the naughty kid seriously before playing rock-paper-scissors.
Do you think I'm stupid? The kid rolled his eyes. You said you were going to play paper, but you were just trying to trick me into playing scissors so you can beat me with a hammer! Humph, I won't be fooled. I won't play scissors. I'll play a hammer!
Then
Rock, Paper, Scissors
The naughty kid came out with a hammer, and Zhu Ping'an came out with... cloth.
"I told you I was going to make a cloth, but you didn't believe me. Okay, call the teacher now." Zhu Ping'an said to the naughty kid with a smile.
"Good teacher!" The naughty kid gritted his teeth and shouted at Zhu Pingan.
"Okay, you also admit that I'm a good teacher. Well, my good disciple, go and read the book carefully, and do as I say." Zhu Ping'an looked at the naughty kid's fat face full of bitterness and hatred, and couldn't help pinching it and smiled.
"If you don't agree, let's try again." The naughty kid twisted his neck and shouted.
"Okay, but I'm going to use a hammer for this one." Zhu Ping'an nodded and continued seriously.
The naughty kid hesitated for a long time and finally took out a piece of cloth to wrap Zhu Ping'an's hammer, but he found that Zhu Ping'an only had scissors.
Liar... ... The naughty kid looked at Zhu Ping'an with accusatory eyes.
"Oh, I actually made a mistake. But I won, so just call me a good teacher again." Zhu Pingan shrugged.
The naughty child cried out again with deep hatred, but still refused to accept it. However, the naughty child was always fooled by Zhu Pingan and lost every time. Zhu Pingan always asked the naughty child to call him a good teacher, and then after hearing the naughty child's good teacher, he would call him a good disciple, which stimulated the naughty child to death.
finally
The naughty kid was so confused that he made a random move and didn't even know what he did, but he still beat Zhu Pingan.
Finally winning, the naughty kid was so excited that he raised his fat face and shouted loudly as if he had got his revenge: "Call me good disciple quickly."
Puff... ... cough...
The little girl who was eating snacks spurted out all the snacks in her mouth, spraying the naughty child all over his face...
Li Shu glared at Zhu Ping'an and couldn't help laughing.
The little maid was stunned for two seconds before she started laughing while holding her stomach. (To be continued.)
