“Brother Zhu, what’s the plan?”
Hu Wei and Xia Qiang two people hear the words of elder brother Zhu Shouren, can not help but be overjoyed, quickly surrounded and asked.
“Aren’t they just dog-eyed, see us in rags, think we are beggars, then we change our lines and clean up not just good?!”
Eldest uncle Zhu Shouren stroked his beard, revealing a smile of excessive wisdom, and said to the two.
I’ll go to your grandpa!Thought you had some eye-opening ploy, so this is it!
Listening to the king’s words is like listening to his words, it’s no use at all.
Hu Wei and Xia Qiang both twisted their heads in disappointment and spat out with a helpless face, “Brother Zhu, we’re penniless now, not a single copper, how are we going to change our clothes and how are we going to clean up?!”
“Ahem, there is a way to be penniless ……” Eldest uncle Zhu Shouren’s eyes rolled and said cryptically.
“You mean stealing?!”Xia Shiming opened his mouth wide in surprise, then shook his head vigorously and denied, “No, no, this is too risky, we are now too conspicuous, stealing will be discovered in nine out of ten cases, once discovered, with this stigma, our path to the imperial examinations and our career path can be cut short, no, no, ten thousand times no!”
“Well, what brother Xia said is exactly right, stealing is never allowed.”Hu Wei also followed and shook his head, “The risk is too great, if we are caught, we are finished, it’s not worth it.”
“Ahem, I’m not talking about stealing either.”Eldest uncle Zhu Shouren eyes turn again, changed a suggestion, “We go to do labour to earn money how, well, Suzhou Tongheng important place, goods from all over the world gathered here, we can go to the dock to resist goods, resist a few days of goods, change body cheap line is not difficult, as for cleaning up, we are in the middle of the day, wait for the temperature of the water to rise a little, not so icy cold, we look for a remote river to endure a little bit of cold!Washing is all.”
“What?You want us to go to the docks and fight the load?!That’s something only mud legged people do, it’s too wishful thinking!Moreover, we are students, we can’t pick up our shoulders, we can’t lift our hands, our hands are powerless, how can we carry heavy cargo?No, no absolutely not.”
When Xia Chai heard his eldest uncle Zhu Shouren’s suggestion, his head was shaking into a propeller, and he used all his strength to express his opposition.
“Indeed it’s not good, if people find out that we went to the pier to resist the cargo, not only will the Scholarship be lost, we’ll be completely reduced to a laughing stock. People live with one face, trees live with one skin, no!Besides, it’s a cold winter month, how much can the river water warm up under the midday sun?This kind of weather to go down the river to bathe, how can our body and bones stand, can’t be!”Hu Wei was also clearly against it.
The two of them once again looked at their eldest uncle, Zhu Shouren.
“Then …… “Eldest uncle Zhu Shouren scratched his head, this doesn’t work, that doesn’t work, what can I do.
His IQ can only reach the level of this kind of bad idea, further is really difficult for him.
However, thinking about the basket he stabbed in Yingtian, Zhu Shouren could only scratch his ears and think hard.
It is said that human potential is infinite.
After scratching his ears so much, there was really an aura that flashed in his mind and was caught by his hand.
“I’ve thought of a way!”Eldest Uncle Zhu Shouren excitedly clapped his hands with a flurry of excitement.
“Did Brother Zhu think of another way?”
Hu Wei and Xia Qiang didn’t have many waves on their faces, after the two bad ideas in the party, they already didn’t hold much hope for Zhu Shouren, they only held the idea that a dead horse is better than nothing.
“Hehe, don’t worry, there is definitely no problem this time.”Eldest uncle Zhu Shouren laughed confidently before he could even say the solution.
Who gave you the confidence ah?
Hu Wei and Xia Qiang both saw the confident smile on Great Uncle Zhu Shouren’s face and couldn’t help but slander in their hearts.
Surname Zhu every encounter things will have a fan of self-confidence, every time was hit in the face, back to get hit posture is not the same, what poetry club chanting limerick by the group ridicule, what flower building to the dusty women talk about the three from the four virtues was scolded sick ah, and so on and so forth, but also never know to learn from the lesson, think that the wai talented not to be met …….
This time, it will be the same as before, another bad idea, the more confident he is, the more bad idea ……
“Listen to me, my virtuous nephew just married this year, nephew-in-law is virtuous nephew from childhood to play a childhood friend, before I do not know, nephew-in-law family history is so illustrious, only know that their family is next door to the village of the big money, until they married, only to know that the nephew’s wife family is more than just money so simple, even is the bell ringing food marquis of the House of the House of the family, in-laws Gong is the old Linhuai Hou’s concubine son, although there is noAlthough he didn’t inherit the title, he is also in charge of most of the business of the Marquis. ……”Eldest uncle Zhu Shouren spoke to the two with a fluttering brow.
Hu Wei and Xia Qiang both looked at Zhu Shouren with puzzled faces, not knowing what Zhu Shouren’s intention was in mentioning this.
“My nephew’s daughter-in-law was pampered from childhood, after marrying into our old Zhu family, she also did not change the habits of a young lady, life is very elaborate, every day is a mountain of delicacies, clothes to stretch out the hands of the meal, just the accompanying maids, as well as serving servants, as well as outside the courtyard of the boy, there are several dozens of people as much as ……”
Eldest uncle Zhu Shouren continued.
“Brother Zhu, does it matter?”Hu Wei couldn’t help but interrupt Zhu Shouren and said with an impatient face.
“When we were in Yingtian, although we lost our way with Xian Nephew, it wasn’t all for naught. We are not inquiring, when Xian Nephew set sail to leave Yingtian, accompanied by, in addition to the Zhejun army, there are several ships of servants?”
Eldest uncle Zhu Shouren stroked his chin, smiled slightly, and said to Hu Wei with a face of success.
“Isn’t this normal, which official mustn’t have a lot of servants to take care of the service, not to mention that your virtuous nephew is a fourth-ranked officer.”
Xia Qiang said unimpressed.
“Not also, not also, you do not understand my nephew, my nephew grew up in the village, life is simple and accustomed to, with my nephew-in-law is different, my nephew has never been personally do, do not like to be served, if the nephew’s own words, even if it is the fourth grade officer, he went to the office also at most with one or two servants. Now there are several boats of servants, there is only one possibility, that is, my nephew-in-law also followed my nephew to the office.”
Zhu Shouren seemed to be possessed by Sherlock Holmes at this moment, and analysed to the two of them with a smug look on his face.
“Brother Zhu what you mean is ……”Hu Wei and Xia Qiang both did not expect Zhu Shouren to give them a surprise.
“We can’t go near the barracks, but we can go and pay a visit to my nephew-in-law first ah, my nephew-in-law will inform my virtuous nephew by herself. With such a large fleet of ships entering Suzhou, it surely won’t be hard to inquire about it.”
Eldest uncle Zhu Shouren said with a smug look on his face.
“Brother Zhu, wise.”
Hu Wei and Xia Qiang couldn’t help but pat Zhu Shouren’s horse, not realising that he had actually thought of a feasible solution.
