“Eldest uncle, how did you guys end up here?”Zhu Pingan couldn’t help but ask suspiciously, really couldn’t figure out how they were reduced to such a state, beggars seeing you all had to give you the alms of the nest egg they had just begged for.
Is this a case of encountering Japanese invaders?
No, if it is encountered the Japanese pirates, how can the eldest uncle and they can stand here intact? Japanese pirates aren’t hijackers, they’re all heartless, they’re robbers of both money and lives.
Could it be that they ran into a road hijacker?
However, the robbers won’t be so perverted, not even a set of clothes left for them, the clothes on the eldest uncle and their body, beggars see all the tears, I don’t know from that rubbish heap to pick up the rags.
The eldest uncle Zhu Shouren who is eating and stuffing himself as well as Hu Wei and Xia Qiang hear someone talking, all of them raise their heads, and when they do, they see Zhu Pingan who enters the door.
“Xian Nephew you have come.”
Eldest uncle Zhu Shouren instantly put down his feet that were stepping on the chair, then put down the chicken leg in his left hand and the duck leg in his right hand, put his oily hands behind his back, straightened his waist, and tried his best to put on an elder-like appearance.
Hearing eldest uncle Zhu Shouren call out Xian Nephew, both Hu Wei and Xia Qiang also instantly knew that this plain and unimpressive youth entering the door was the big shot they wanted to bow to – Zhejiang Tidings and Pressure Division Acting Vice-Envoy Zhu Ping’an Zhu Taoshi.
Damn it!
What have we done?
A tattered beggar clothes, feet on the chair, hand holding a chicken leg, eating a mouth full of oil and fishy, no image at all.
First in, this is the first face. We should have bathed and dressed first. It’s all because of damn Zhu Shouren, who brought us down! If it wasn’t for him eating first without any image, how did we get here.
At once, the two of them panicked and also both put their feet away, put down the food in their hands, and tried to put on a scholarly demeanour as they arched their hands to salute Zhu Pingan, “Student Hu Wei/Xia Qiang, greetings to Lord Zhu.”
“The two of you are excused.”Zhu Pingan politely extended his hand, “The visitor is a guest, no need to be polite, please enjoy your meal.”
“Ahem, full, full ……”Hu Wei and Xia Qiang said with embarrassed faces, wishing to turn back the clock.
“Cough cough, virtuous nephew, this is Hu Wei, this is Xia Qiang, both are our old family’s unparalleled and outstanding talents.”
Eldest uncle Zhu Shouren coughed and grandly introduced his two best friends from Crouching Dragon Phoenix to Zhu Pingan.
Crouching!
Dependable!
Hu Wei and Xia Qiang were greatly moved when they saw that the first thing that eldest uncle Zhu Shouren did when he met Zhu Pingan was to fulfil the extent of introducing the two of them to him in a grand manner and also saying that the two of them were outstanding talents that had never been born in the old family.
Not only touched, they also feel a little guilty, they just went so far as to call him damned, and complained that he brought them down ……
On the way, they also had resentment and dissatisfaction because he spent more silver and stirred up trouble and stabbed a mess ……
While Hu Wei and Xia Qiang were moved and feeling guilty, they heard their eldest uncle Zhu Shouren add another sentence.
“Their talents are no different from mine, no different from each other ……”Great Uncle Zhu Shouren added.
Crap!
What are you talking nonsense about you! What do you mean our talents are indistinguishable and indistinguishable from yours, what talents do you have.
Is this a compliment or a curse.
Even we can see that you are a pillow, a straw man, an incompetent, and a braggart, and that you are not good enough to accomplish anything, but you are good enough to fail, and Lord Zhu, who has been with you for so many years, naturally knows exactly what kind of a person you are.
You say that we and your talent is not equal, not divided, that is not to say to Lord Zhu that the two of us are also like you, also is embroidered pillow, straw bag incompetent, love to brag than, accomplishing things are not enough to defeat the person?
For us to feel guilty about you, a bastard who is not good enough to accomplish anything, is really a big joke!
However, he kindly introduced it as well didn’t he, although the last sentence added to it, but that’s the way he’s always done things isn’t it, not enough to make things happen ……
Next, it’s still up to us.
“Brother Zhu overstated, we in the Lord Zhu such a high talent, wisdom and courage in front of the great talent, how to say outstanding talent four words, is only some of the father and mother of the township friends politely give the false name.”
Hu Wei arched his hand and said with a modest face.
“Exactly. Some thin name, not enough to mention, in front of the real great talent of Lord Zhu, we are all students.”
Xia Qiang also said modestly, not willing to show weakness.
“The two of you are modest, please take a seat.”
Zhu Pingan politely and detachedly invited them to take their seats, it was hard for Zhu Pingan to have a good feeling towards the two people who were mixed up with his eldest uncle.
What kind of person is the eldest uncle, Zhu Pingan is clear, the eldest uncle’s friends, Zhu Pingan has also seen a lot of, every one of them with the eldest uncle have so two or three percent of the similarity, are some pretentious but not enough to make things happen, but more than enough to lose things.
This is an experience that has been learnt since ancient times, and it naturally has its own reasoning.
Moreover, the flavour of currying favour from the two of them was too heavy, which further made Zhu Pingan have a bad impression on them.
“Xian nephew, let me tell you, it’s really not an exaggeration at all, both of them are rare talents, they are simply the contemporary Crouching Dragon and Fengyi, we are sympathetic to each other.”Eldest uncle Zhu Shouren emphasised again.
Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Daisy?
Hearing these two names, Zhu Pingan couldn’t help but think of the comical moments of the two Zhuang Qiang and Big Smart in Tomato Richest.
Zhu Pingan smiled noncommittally before asking his eldest uncle, Zhu Shouren, once again, “Eldest uncle, how did you come to Suzhou and how did you end up in this state?”
“The reason we came to Suzhou is to find Xian Nephew and help you out. Currently, the Japanese are in serious trouble, as we are part of the Great Ming, since we have the ability, it is our duty to serve my Great Ming and help Xian Nephew.”
Eldest uncle Zhu Shouren said boldly, puffing out his chest, with a feeling that the world’s prosperity and demise is the responsibility of every man, since we have the talent, we have the obligation to come out, who let you be my virtuous nephew, we’ll just cheapen it for you.
This point, the person sent by Li Shu, also said.
Zhu Pingan was not surprised, the eldest uncle this is want to go nepotism, want to rely on their own to get the way he ascended to heaven.
You guys help me out? Thank you, no need, you guys are already thankful if you don’t cause me any trouble.
“Thank you for your kindness, Uncle.”Zhu Pingan said noncommittally, and then continued to ask, “Eldest uncle, you guys came to find me, why did you become like this? Was the road not peaceful and you encountered robbers, or did you encounter Japanese pirates?”
Big uncle shook his head, sighed, made a look of compassion, slowly said, “Alas, in fact, it is all because I am too soft-hearted, can not see the suffering of the human world, see that people have difficulties, always want to help to solve the problem ……”
Can you speak human language?
Zhu Pingan tugged the corner of his mouth breathlessly, he didn’t believe a single word of his eldest uncle’s words, including punctuation marks.
