Rise of the Poor

Chapter 840: Zhu Pingan, a layman

Views:

"Sharing happiness with others is worse than enjoying it alone. Lord Zhu, please don't let Baoyu be obscured. We are willing to listen to your profound opinions." Ma Huating followed Yang Guoliang closely, looked at Zhu Ping'an with a smile, and praised Zhu Ping'an again.

The higher you praise someone, the harder he will fall.

Ma Huating and Yang Guoliang are well aware of this principle. They just want to put Zhu Ping'an high up so that he can't refuse even if he wants to. Haha, then, all they have to do is watch Zhu Ping'an fall down.

Pah...

The posture when someone falls must be very handsome and the sound must be very loud.

Ma Huating and Yang Guoliang looked at Zhu Ping'an with burning eyes and kept extending their hands to invite him, making it impossible for Zhu Ping'an to refuse even if he wanted to.

Since you are restless and trying to pass yourself off as a fake and fill in the gaps, don't blame us for dragging you out.

that's all.

Zhu Ping'an suddenly became the focus of the lecture room, and everyone focused their eyes on him.

Gao Gong glanced at Zhu Ping'an and then turned his eyes away, as if looking at him any longer would be a waste of time.

Prince Yu looked at Zhu Ping'an with some reluctance. In his opinion, Dr. Yang's theory of "the style of the king and the virtue of the concubine" is the best interpretation of "Guanju" in the past hundred years, and no one can surpass it in the foreseeable decades. If Zhu Ping'an is asked to interpret "Guanju" at this time, it will probably be a shame... ...

King Jing watched with great interest...

The chief lecturer of Prince Jing's Palace, Old Master Zhang, stroked his beard and said with a fair and mature smile, "The orioles are singing on the island in the river. The beautiful lady is the ideal match for the gentleman... Lord Zhu is at the age of being the ideal match for a lady. Perhaps he has a unique understanding of "Guanju" as a young man. If so, Lord Zhu might as well share it with us."

"Well, now that you mention it, I'm curious too. Zihou, if you have any unique insights, you might as well share them with me." Old Master Zhang looked at Zhu Ping'an and smiled slightly, his eyes full of encouragement.

Zhu Ping'an glanced at everyone, slightly raised the corner of his mouth, and understood.

This is an attempt to embarrass themselves, especially since the words and actions of Ma Huating and Dr. Yang are obvious.

hehe.

Actually, I didn’t want to say it.

but.

Since you guys are like this, I can only respectfully obey your orders.

Zhu Pingan stood up, bowed to everyone, smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Actually, I don't have any profound ideas..."

"Hey, young man, don't be so modest..."

How could Ma Huating let Zhu Ping'an go easily? As soon as Zhu Ping'an finished speaking, Ma Huating looked at Zhu Ping'an with a fake smile and urged him to come in with a long tail.

"That's right, Master Zhu, don't be so modest."

"We have already listened carefully, please don't let us down."

... ...

Seeing that Zhu Ping'an was about to retreat, Ma Huating and others immediately surrounded and intercepted him, leaving Zhu Ping'an no chance or space to retreat.

"Ahem, I haven't finished yet. Actually, I don't have any profound ideas, just some vulgar thoughts. If Your Highness and the other lords are not afraid of polluting their ears, I would like to ask for your corrections."

Zhu Ping'an smiled naively, first bowed to Prince Yu and Prince Jing, then bowed to Ma Huating and others, and finally bowed to Dr. Yang on the podium. His tone and manner were exactly the same as what Dr. Yang said when he started discussing "Guanju": "It's not that I'm giving you advice, these are just some immature ideas, please correct me if you are sorry."

When they first heard Zhu Ping'an's words, they inexplicably had a sense of déjà vu. Soon everyone knew where the source was, because Zhu Ping'an's words were so similar to what Dr. Yang said when he started his discussion on Guanju.

but.

When Dr. Yang said these words, he was very dignified and full of energy.

But what about you? Everyone looked at Zhu Ping'an, who was smiling innocently, and shook their heads in their hearts. It's too far...

hehe

Just some cheesy thoughts...

Are you being modest

Or do you have self-awareness

Knowing that your opinions are far inferior to Dr. Yang's theory of "Guanju", are you defaming yourself and making fun of yourself in advance to resolve the dilemma

hehe

What a cunning boy.

However, black is black and white is white. Even if you are full of tricks, you cannot change the essence. Once you come to power, under the watchful eyes of the public, your conspiracies and tricks will have nowhere to be carried out.

You have to make the embarrassment happen, so stop struggling...

"Master Zhu is too modest. We would like to hear the details."

As soon as Zhu Ping'an finished speaking, Ma Huating and others blocked Zhu Ping'an's last way of retreat and looked at him with a smile.

"Master Zhu, please."

Dr. Yang came down from the podium and offered it up.

The arrow is on the string.

Ma Huating and others looked at Zhu Pingan leisurely.

"Well, then I'll make a fool of myself."

Under the gaze of everyone, Zhu Ping'an slightly curled the corners of his mouth, smiled naively, then stood up from his seat, bowed to everyone calmly, and walked slowly towards the podium without any hesitation or delay.

A breeze blew in from the window, ruffling Zhu Ping'an's sleeves and causing them to flutter. For an instant, people had an illusion that Zhu Ping'an was walking up to the podium in the wind, with a touch of Wei and Jin style.

I must be seeing things... ... everyone was secretly complaining in their hearts.

However, Zhu Ping'an walked up to the podium so neatly and without hesitation, which was somewhat beyond the expectations of Ma Huating and others.

This saves a lot of trouble.

Ma Huating and others slightly raised the corners of their lips.

In front of everyone, Zhu Pingan walked up to the podium, stood facing everyone, smiled honestly and spoke:

"The orioles are singing on the island in the river. The fair lady is the ideal match for the gentleman... Haha, Dr. Yang just said that common people see it as a love poem for the villagers, while wise people see it as a poem about the virtues of a couple. Well, Dr. Yang has studied "Guanju" for more than a month and has gone a step further, seeing the 'style of a king and the virtues of a concubine'. Ping An is ashamed..."

When Zhu Ping'an said this, he sighed and looked ashamed.

hehe.

Is this a way to flatter someone on stage?!

Ma Huating and others looked at Zhu Ping'an and smiled disdainfully. They asked you to speak about Guanju on stage, but you flattered me instead. Aren't you embarrassed...

"Thank you for the compliment, Lord Zhu." Dr. Yang said expressionlessly without even raising his eyelids.

"Ping An is ashamed. Ping An is what Dr. Yang calls a vulgar person. Well, no, in fact, he is even more vulgar than what Dr. Yang calls a vulgar person. He is simply too vulgar. Haha, compared with Dr. Yang's theory of 'the style of a king and the virtue of a concubine', my understanding of "Guanju" can only be described by the word 'vulgar'..."

Zhu Ping'an glanced at everyone calmly, and finally shifted his gaze to Dr. Yang. He smiled naively and continued with his previous words calmly.

He calls himself a layman, but he stands straight and elegantly on the podium. He is not tall, but gives people the illusion that he is standing tall.
