The rise of the poor

Chapter 1680 Uncle Arrives
How far is it from Xiahe Village to Yingtian City? The distance between the two places is less than [-] miles, which is not too far.

What's more, after arriving in Anqing from Shanghe Village, you can take a boat down the Yangtze River and go directly to Yingtian by water.

There is a poem by Li Bai that goes, "Among the colorful clouds of Baidi, a thousand miles of Jiangling will be returned in one day." Baidi City is [-] miles away from Jiangling. The great poet Li Bai took a boat in Baidi City in the morning and went down the Yangtze River. , It only took one day to reach Jiangling City, which is [-] miles away, the speed can be described as extremely fast.

Based on this calculation, the distance from Anqing to Yingtian is only [-] miles, and it takes half a day to get there by boat.

But Li Bai is Li Bai, not everyone is Li Bai, some people are Zhu Shouren.

More than a month ago, Zhu Shouren and his two good friends Hu Wei and Xia Qiang set off from Xiahe Village to Yingtian.

It took them several days from Xiahe Village to reach Chizhou, a city along the river farther than Anqing, and it took them more than a month to finally arrive at Yingtian City.

Standing under the majestic Yingtian City, Zhu Shouren stood in a brand-new personal scholar's robe, with his head held high, his head raised slightly, his hands touching his beard, the north wind blowing, and his sleeves flying. From a distance or close up, he looked like a scholar. demeanor.

1 minute, 2 minutes...

Ten minutes later, Zhu Shouren still maintained this look, standing in front of the gate of Yingtian City, with his head held high and his chest held high, motionless.

"Brother Zhu, Brother Zhu, although Yingtian City is very majestic, we have participated in the children's birth test, not only ten times, but also eight times. This time it should be enough to see it for so long, let's go into the city."

Hu Wei, who was standing behind Zhu Shouren, couldn't bear it after waiting for so long, and pressed his temper to urge him.

I have never seen anyone who can procrastinate more than Zhu Shouren. It took more than a month to walk for two or three days.

It's obviously faster to go by water, but he still wants to go by land, so let's go by land.

Every time he goes to a city, he has to rest for a day, sometimes even two or three days, to taste the local delicacies, and if he doesn’t like the local delicacies, he only eats the famous local wines and dishes. To experience the people's sentiments, what are you talking about, when Yingtian assists his nephew in this line, he will definitely get an official position. You must enter the role of an official in advance, experience the people's sentiments, and listen to the public opinion... But you can experience the people's sentiments and listen to the voices of the people, right? Listen, what kind of people do you experience when you go to Goulan Marriage House, and what kind of voice do you listen to?!
There was a lot of money spent on eating, drinking and shopping along the way, if he hadn't thought about clinging to his nephew Zhu Ping'an through him, he would have beaten him up a long time ago, and he has never seen anyone more brazen than him.

"That's right, Brother Zhu, even if you never get tired of seeing the city, you have feelings and poetry, you can't stand at the door and splash ink, you might as well enter the city." Xia Qiang also said, urging Zhu Shouren to enter the city.

Like Hu Wei, he had had enough of Zhu Shouren along the way, but in order to cling to Zhu Ping'an through him, he endured it.

All kinds of flattery along the way, isn't it just to get to Yingtian quickly and be introduced to Zhu Pingan by him earlier.

Now that we have finally arrived at Yingtian City, you have stood at the gate for so long without going in, what kind of monster are you doing!!
Just write poetry or something.

The poem you made is really eye-catching. I've been praising your poem all the way, which made me a little sick, so don't write any more poems.

Thinking of this, Xia Qiang hurriedly followed Hu Wei to urge Zhu Shouren to enter the city.

"Ahem, it's not that I don't want to enter the city, it's because I'm so shy that I don't even have a penny, so I can't pay the entrance fee..."

Hearing this, Zhu Shouren couldn't help coughing, and couldn't hold back his pose anymore, and said to them with an embarrassed face.

"What? Brother Zhu, didn't I just spend five taels of silver with you yesterday? Why is it gone now?" Xia Qiang couldn't help being surprised when he heard the palace, and looked at Zhu Shouren in disbelief. He seriously suspected that he was Not wrong.

"That's right, Brother Zhu, Brother Xia only gave you five taels of silver yesterday afternoon. I paid for the dinner and the hotel accommodation. Brother Zhu's money should still be there? Could it be that Brother Zhu will pay you when you check out?" Has the silver been left in the inn room?"

Hu Wei was also very surprised, and also looked at Zhu Shouren in disbelief.

Obviously he and Xia Qiang paid for yesterday's consumption, why Zhu Shouren's money is gone, it shouldn't be, is it left in the inn, or you think five taels of money is too little and want some more...

"Ahem, holding candles last night, studying hard late at night, thinking that the place is close to Yingtian, and Yingtian City was attacked by Japanese pirates a while ago, and it was my nephew who saved the situation; now the pirates are getting worse, and the world is getting more and more chaotic. The place is becoming more and more unsafe. Then, I thought of the lonely and weak woman I met during the day. I was really worried that she would spend the night alone as a weak woman, so I went to the door to protect her, and She talked about her ideals in life, and helped her do some physical work by the way... When she left in the morning, she held my hand firmly. I saw her reluctant and hesitant expression, and I knew I had to do it. Something, so I gave her five taels of silver, although it is not much, but it is also a little bit of my heart."

Uncle Zhu Shouren didn't dare to look at them, coughed, stroked his beard, and explained slowly with a sigh.

shit!
Seeing that you are serious about what you said, labor and management almost took it seriously!
Obviously everyone is a poor student who failed to pass the exam, why is Zhu Shouren so outstanding!!!!
It took Hu Wei and Xia Qiang a lot of concentration to resist the urge to take off the soles of their shoes and slap Zhu Shouren's face indiscriminately.

"Brother Zhu, is the weak woman you're talking about Miss Cui from Taohualou?" Hu Wei and Xia Qiang took a deep breath and asked with burning eyes.

"Of course." Zhu Shouren nodded blushing.

Hu Wei and Xia Qiang passed away with breathless breaths. They passed by Taohualou during the day yesterday, and happened to catch a glimpse of the number one girl in Cuihualou, Xiaocui. The girl experienced the feelings of the people, so Hu Wei and Xia Qiang dragged Zhu Shouren away in the name of tasting the famous local Yangtze River vinegar fish.

A meal is cheaper than an oiran.

But I never expected that Zhu Shouren, an old boy, didn't talk about martial arts. After eating and drinking, he used the excuse of preparing a gift for his nephew Zhu Ping'an, so that Xia Qiang took the initiative to support him with five taels of silver, and then he used his gentle books to help him. He went back to the room with the excuse of reading, and then who would have thought that he would actually warm up to the bed of Xiao Cui, the first brand in the Cuihua Building?
"I and we have money, brother Zhu just go with us." Hu Wei and Xia Qiang took several deep breaths in succession before controlling the galloping emotions in their hearts, gritted their teeth and squeezed out a smile.

"Thank you Brother Hu and Brother Xia, don't worry, when I see my nephew, I will definitely repay you twice. Of course, I will introduce the two great talents to my nephew to help my nephew." Zhu Shouren cupped his hands to thank him, and promised again and again. .

"Thank you, Brother Zhu, what did we say about 'paying back'? Money is a thing of the body. If you don't bring it with you when you are born, you won't take it with you when you die."

Hearing that Zhu Shouren promised to introduce them to Zhu Pingan again, the smiles on Hu Wei and Xia Qiang's faces increased a bit.
