At dusk, three wretched and limping beggars appeared in Fulu Street, Lumengli, Suzhou.
It was none other than Eldest Uncle Zhu Shouren and his party.
“Is this the place?”Xia Qiang covered the buttocks bitten by the dog, looking at the street on both sides of a high mansion, said with awe, “Look at this mansion how grand, here are all the Zhu family bells and whistles of the family, if you are not careful to collide with the nobleman, then it will be trouble. With our current outfit, no one will be polite to us.”
“It’s not wrong, I’ve asked three people, they all said that they live in Lvmen Fulu Street, there are two big lions in front of the door, and the door plaque is written with the words ‘Zhu Mansion’, so let’s keep our eyes wide open, don’t miss it.”
Hu Wei limped up and said with a determined face, this news was what he had inquired about and it could not be wrong.
In order to inquire about this news, he also paid a terrible price, being bitten by a damn dog. Damn dog, bite where not good, just catch the buttocks to bite, make every step now butt hurt.
Okay, heaven is fair, both of them were also bitten by a dog, and both of them were also buttocks, which made his heart a little more balanced.
“Quick look, in front is the Zhu Mansion, there are two stone lions at the entrance, found it.”
Eldest uncle Zhu Shouren shouted out excitedly in front, limping and jogging towards the Zhu Mansion’s gate.
“Hey, that beggar, stop! This is the main gate! If you want to beg for food, go to the back door, my young lady is kind-hearted and knows that there are a lot of people fleeing for their lives and coming to Suzhou lately, so she has specially asked people to set up meals at the back door, so if you want to beg for food, go to the back door.”
The guard at the door saw eldest uncle Zhu Shouren, a limping beggar, running towards the door, couldn’t help but reach out and chide.
This beggar how so no eyesight, this is the main door, is you beggars can board the door?
The guardian is obviously a practitioner, every move has a few momentum, the eldest uncle Zhu Shouren was subdued, stammered, “Which, which, misunderstanding, misunderstanding, we are not beggars begging for food.”
“Right, right, we are not beggars for food.”Hu Wei and Xia Qiang, who followed closely, both followed to explain.
“You guys aren’t here to beg for food? Beggars don’t beg for food, so they’re here to cause trouble and beg for a beating?”The guards shook their necks and made a crackling sound, lifting their feet and walking down the steps, stepping out with the feeling of a thousand soldiers.
“Wait, wait, we’re not here to beg for food, much less to mess around and beg for a beating, we’re here to visit our relatives. Is your master’s name Zhu Pingan, I’m his eldest uncle Zhu Shouren!”Eldest uncle Zhu Shouren shouted in a hurry.
The guard stopped in front of eldest uncle Zhu Shouren and stared at him with a burning gaze, “Do you know the consequences of impersonating a relative?!”
“No matter what the consequences are, I am a real relative.”This point of the eldest uncle was not false, after all, he was indeed real.
Soon, the news of eldest uncle Zhu Shouren’s arrival reached the backyard.
At that time, Li Shu was taking a walk under the support of Painter, when a maid came forward and reported in a low voice: “Miss, the news from the front yard said that three beggars had come to the door, and one of them claimed to be Auntie’s great-uncle, Zhu Shouren, and said that he was here to look for the old master.”
“Brother Zhu’s eldest uncle, Zhu Shouren?Why did he come?”When Li Shu heard this, she couldn’t help but slightly frown her willow eyebrows, then instructed a maid, “This is the case, you ask Liu Ma who followed from the village to go to the front yard to identify the person, if it is indeed Zhu Shouren, brother Zhu’s eldest uncle, have the steward place them in the front yard, treat them with good food and drink, and then ask him what he’s here to do. After asking clearly, no matter what it is, all of them will return, I am a woman, it is inconvenient to meet guests, wait for brother Zhu to come back to say. Then send someone to the camp to tell Brother Zhu. If it’s an impostor, then have someone send them out. Don’t hurt anyone.”
For this cheap elder uncle, Li Shu had no good feelings. If she wasn’t concerned about Zhu Pingan’s face and reputation, and worried that Zhu Pingan would be labelled as disrespectful to his elders, she would definitely give him a closed door.
There was definitely nothing good about him coming to the door.
It wasn’t that he wasn’t afraid of him beating the autumn wind, but rather, he brought two strangers and came all the way here, not knowing what kind of demon he was going to do again.
He was a person who didn’t have much ability, but his ability to cause trouble and stir up trouble was not low, so he had to be on guard.
“As you wish miss.”The little girl led the order and left.
Liu Ma had followed her from Shanghe Village, and knew people from both Shanghe Village and Xihe Village, not to mention Zhu Shouren’s reputation (a bad reputation) in Xihe Village, so she naturally knew Zhu Shouren; especially after the two families had tied the knot, Liu Ma had seen all of Zhu’s family members up close and personal. By her going to the front yard to identify them, there would be no mistake.
“Miss, I also know the aunt’s eldest uncle ……”Painting Child volunteered at the side.
“What kind of person is his elder uncle, haven’t you heard of him in the village?In the past he gambled indiscriminately in the town, borrowing loan sharks, but signing the name of the father-in-law, causing the father-in-law to be beaten; borrowing the name of studying, in the county town of the wind and snow, do not do the right thing, the family bottom are empty, causing brother Zhu to go up the mountain to collect medicine to make money; after brother Zhu high school, he also often shamelessly said that he is the brother of Zhu montage of the school, hmmm, full of nonsense, brother Zhu when he was a child to ask him to montage of the school, he to study and prepare for the exams did not have time to reason to excuse, the brother of Zhu to drive to the school.Instead, he drove brother Zhu to herd cows ……The two friends of his are definitely not good, so don’t bother with them.”
Li Shu rolled her eyes and said in a good-natured manner.
“Oh, I almost forgot about his reputation in the Lower River Village ……”The little bun maid, Painter, spat out her tongue.
After a while, about a tea time, the little maid came back with Liu Ma from the front yard to recognise someone.
“Miss, I went to the front yard to confirm, that person is indeed Auntie’s eldest uncle, Zhu Shouren, although he is cloaked and in a mess, but I won’t be mistaken with his pretentious face.”Liu Ma came forward and reported.
“It’s really him …….”Li Shu was not much surprised by this.
“Miss, you don’t know, how big of a rack he has, not to mention bossing us around, he also puts on an elder’s air, saying something about letting Miss go and pay her respects to him ……”The little girl couldn’t help but complain.
Heh ……
Li Shu sniffed and snorted.
“Hmph, how big face ah, who does he think he is ah, but also let the young lady go to the front yard to pay them a visit, a little bit of rules and etiquette much do not know ……I said Miss body heavy, movement is not convenient, and the aunt is not in, Miss inconvenient to see foreign guests, wait for the aunt to come back to say.”The little girl voice then reported.
“He came to find brother Zhu, what is he going to do?”Li Shu asked.
“He is mysterious and pretentious, saying something like he is here to do great things, to help Master Auntie, to help Master Auntie build a career, to send Master Auntie a glory, to send Master Auntie to rise to the top, to be crowned as a Marquis and to worship the Prime Minister ……”
The little girl returned with a speechless face.
“Just by him?!”The bun little maid, Painter, sniffed and couldn’t help but roll her eyes greatly.
