“Brother Zhu is going to introduce us to your nephew?!”Hu Wei and Xia Qiang couldn’t help but be overjoyed when they heard this.
Were they deliberately befriending Zhu Shouren because of Zhu Shouren’s charisma? Was it because Zhu Shouren’s talent convinced them? Was it because Zhu Shouren had some unknown talent?
No, not at all! Charisma, talent, talent, and Zhu Shouren do not have a little bit of intercourse.
The reason why they deliberately befriended Zhu Shouren was because of Zhu Pingan, who happened to be Zhu Pingan’s uncle! Zhu Shouren had always said that he was not only Zhu Pingan’s uncle, but also Zhu Pingan’s guide to Montessori. They wanted to get to know Zhu Pingan through Zhu Shouren, to get on with such a talented and high ranking official as Zhu Pingan, and with this relationship with Zhu Pingan, they would have heavenly benefits in the future, whether it was in the imperial examinations or in business.
“Of course. Other people don’t know the talents of the two of you, but I, as a close friend of the two of you who have spent a lot of time together, know a lot about it. The two of you are very talented and have great talent, if my nephew gets help from the two of you, just like Uncle Liu gets help from Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Daisy, in the future, he will definitely be like a fish in the water, like a tiger with wings, and it will be hard not to build up a career and rise to the top of the ladder. As Ping’an’s eldest uncle, I have the obligation and responsibility to introduce the two benevolent brothers to him.”
Zhu Shouren nodded his head vigorously, once again praising the two men with certainty and firmly stating that he would introduce the two men to Zhu Pingan.
Of course, Zhu Shouren’s heart was not like this, what Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Chicks ah, in his opinion, the two are just two money bags. In fact, Zhu Shouren returned from the county, the reason why the invitation Hu Wei, Xia Qiang to the village of the lower river, is to do a two-handed plan. He had made up his mind in the county town that he would go to Yingtian to find Zhu Pingan to ask for an official. If this time to go home can ask for silver is best, so he will go to Yingtian alone to find Zhu Pingan, Hu Wei and Xia Qiang came, take them around the village, look at the scholar’s square, scholar’s pavilion, look at the countryside, as a thank you for their care in the county; if this time to go home to ask for money is not good, will invite the two people with the two people will be the two people as a way travelling expenses, food and accommodation costs of the ATM, by them out of all the way to spend.
Now the result also shows, he can’t ask for money at home. Just opened his mouth to ask for silver, he was beaten by his old man, two brothers are also opposed to, daughter-in-law Wu are fast scratching themselves into shredded meat ……
Therefore, at this moment, Zhu Shouren took the second hand preparation, inviting both Hu Wei and Xia Qiang to travel together to Yingtian to find Zhu Pingan, letting the two of them act as his moneybags, bearing the costs of his travelling, food and accommodation along the way.
“Many thanks, Brother Zhu. Brother Zhu is overpraised.”Hu Wei and Xia Qiang once again received Zhu Shouren’s statement, their mouths couldn’t close together in happiness, and they thanked Zhu Shouren repeatedly, and then they said with a complimentary face, “To say that we are talented and full of wisdom, how can we compare to Brother Zhu. Brother Zhu is a top scholar from Mengxue. We have long been for the brother Zhu secluded in the countryside and not sorry, but it is a pity that the brother Zhu talented, full of wisdom but no use, Zhu brother’s talent do not know dumping nephews that a few slaves for tens of thousands of miles, if the brother Zhu out of the mountain to help nephews, nephews will be like the king of the Zhou dynasty to get the eunuch Jiang ZiYa, our dynasty of the great grandfather to get the chancellor of the LiuBoWen, the establishment of the credit must be ten times, a hundred times he is currently obtaining the credit is to be awarded the title of vassal to worship the prime minister is also as easy as a bag to pick up. Those few house slaves, at most empty a few points of brute force, do not give your nephew to add to the chaos on the good, which can help your nephew to set up a world of work!How can they help your nephew to make a great achievement?Only Brother Zhu has this ability.”
“Cough cough, dare not be, dare not be ……I still have self-awareness, which can be compared to Tai Gong and Chancellor Liu Bo Wen it, at most look at the back of their neck only ……”Zhu Shouren pretended to be modest waving his hands, but his face is overjoyed, for Hu Wei and Xia Qiang two people’s compliments are very flattering.
Good a self-knowledge, good a look at its back, Zhu Shouren’s self-knowledge is also no one ……
“So say ah, Zhu brother should have long gone to help your nephew, those few family slaves can be promoted by your nephew to become an official, on the closeness and proximity, on the talent and sagacity, Zhu brother is more qualified than them. Brother Zhu this go, certainly the black hat plus body, white body into official body. Brother Zhu more than forty years of accumulation, once the accumulation of thin hair, future achievements may be higher than your nephew it. In the future, your old Zhu family, an uncle and a nephew are all in high positions in the court, is also a good story ah.”Hu Wei and Xia Qiang were both quite upset for Zhu Shouren.
“I’m not going here to seek an official position, but to help my nephew. As the old saying goes, “Fighting a tiger is like fighting a brother, going into battle is like fighting a son. My family’s second brother is not very good, on a kind of land, Dachuan is the same. Pitifully, my virtuous nephew has no one to help him, I, as the eldest uncle, have the obligation and responsibility to help him.”
Zhu Shouren stroked his beard and said slowly with his hands behind his back, with an air of heavy responsibility and obligation.
“Brother Zhu is a kind and generous elder.”Hu Wei and Xia Qiang complimented.
“Hey, who asked me to be his eldest uncle. Originally, I really didn’t want to go for fear of being misunderstood. However, my nephew is still young, inexperienced, prone to errors, some time ago even mixed into the Yang Jisheng that insouciant madman impeachment Yan Song Yan Pavilion Elder’s muddy water, this is not the old star drinking arsenic is too long to live. Yan Ge Lao is what people ah, that is a person under ten thousand people, hand eyes through the sky of the big man, with all means to please still too late it, how can impeachment offend ……Good thing, the Yan court boss man has a lot of, just my nephew relegated to the Jingnan matter. He acted in Jingnan, there are also many step wrong things, I heard also hit a eunuch’s godson, you say this is what happened ah, the Emperor’s side of the close service, that can be offended Well, for all the can’t wait for it ……So ah, I do this big uncle really can not help, had to risk being misunderstood, went to help my nephew to put the direction, set the route, to help him a hand ……”
Zhu Shouren said with a great face, the entire posture of enduring humiliation for the sake of Zhu Pingan.
“Brother Zhu’s heart of loving his nephew with his fist is truly admirable!”Hu Wei and Xia Qiang complimented.
“Where, where ……”Zhu Shouren humbly waved his hand and sighed as he said this.
“Why is brother Zhu sighing?”Hu Wei and Xia Qiang both asked.
“Alas, the family has a difficult to read ah, you also see, family members do not understand me, nearly broke with me, and I some time ago in Jingnan to receive a poor suffering woman, spent all the savings on my body, at this time the family is afraid that they will not provide me with pennies, this trip is a long way to go ……”
Zhu Shouren sighed and said slowly.
“This is not difficult, Zhu brother do not worry, there are two of us it, this way the required expenses, we two package, Zhu brother do not have to worry about it.”
Hu Wei and Xia Qiang looked at each other and said in unison.
“This ……How embarrassing …….”Zhu Shouren said in a pretentious manner, the curve of his mouth was almost taut.
“Brother Zhu don’t think like this, brother Zhu help us introduce your nephew, we are worried that we don’t know how to thank brother Zhu, the district travelling expenses, what is enough to worry about, brother Zhu can be sure to give us this opportunity, let us show ……”
Hu Wei and Xia Qiang firmly said.
“Alas, look, really can’t say you guys, next time, next time ha……”After Zhu Shouren excused himself three times, he said with a helpless face.
