The rise of the poor

Chapter 243 Entering My Acacia Door
Cangshan is bald, and the snow is haggard.

Riding the horse all the way, we finally arrived at the small town around four o'clock in the afternoon.Originally thought that the small town was just an ordinary town, but he didn't expect that he just entered the small town and overturned Zhu Pingan's idea.

The small town after the snow is picturesque, with blue slate and black bricks, coupled with the pure white of the place, this small town is just like an ice and snow castle in a fairy tale, the colors are very comfortable and beautiful up.

Although the small town is picturesque, Zhu Pingan, who has been driving all day in the wind and snow, is not as attractive as a bowl of steaming noodle soup and a warm bed.

I got off the horse and found an inn, paid for the room, and the shop clerk helped to lead the dark horse to the backyard, and then moved the things on the horse to the room.

"Brother, please bring me a bowl of mutton soup." Zhu Pingan stopped the shop assistant who was about to leave, and asked him to let the back kitchen make a bowl of hot mutton soup.

"Mutton soup costs ten cents a bowl, and if you add more pancakes, each pancake costs one penny." The store clerk turned around and promised.

A bowl of mutton soup costs ten renminbi, which is about two renminbi more expensive than in my own town, probably because it is a snowy day today, and maybe because I am a foreigner.

"A bowl of mutton soup is enough, but there is no need for cakes." Zhu Pingan took out ten Wen coins from his sleeve bag and handed them to the shop assistant. The reason why he only wanted a bowl of mutton soup instead of cakes was because he brought them from home. The cake is not finished yet.

The store clerk took the money, promised and went out.While Zhu Pingan was tidying up the bed, the store clerk came in with a steaming bowl of mutton soup, put it on the table, and left.

The rich aroma is transpiring on the mutton soup, and the pieces of mutton and haggis, which are full of color and flavor, are like treasures waiting to be discovered in the mutton soup. How can people stand idly by with such treasures pregnant in the soup.

Zhu Pingan couldn't wait to take out two cakes baked by his mother Chen from the bag, break them into pieces, put them into the steaming mutton soup, and then put another piece in his mouth. The fragrance instantly melted into the whole body, and it was extremely delicious. up.

When the fragrant mutton soup meets the oil cake, it is like a golden wind and jade dew, and it is better than countless delicacies in the world.Snowy winter.There is such a bowl of mutton soup paired with pancakes full of mother's love, it is not too happy.

Driving on a snowy day is cold and tired, especially after eating.The sleepiness is even more intense.So, Zhu Ping'an simply took off his clothes and lay down on the bed to sleep. Even the idea of ​​taking a hot bath was forgotten. He was too tired.

In the past, I often heard people say that weak scholars are weak scholars. In fact, think about it, if scholars are really weak, if they are really weak and unable to resist, how can they travel long distances to Beijing to catch the exam? This era travels long distances to Beijing It's really unnecessary to rush for the exam. It's commonplace to eat and sleep in the open air. Therefore, it is a big mistake to say that there are weak and weak scholars.I have only been away for a few days, and I feel very tired. It is really not easy for those scholars who have traveled long distances, especially those who rushed to the capital on foot.

Not long after, Zhu Ping'an started snoring and fell asleep.

The Li family in Shanghe Village passed Laba, the red lanterns were still hanging high, and the servants were doing their work in an orderly manner.

When it was almost evening, a horse neighed from the door.Wang Xiaoer, who was going to deliver a letter to Zhu Ping'an, also entered the house.

There are three braziers burning in Miss Li's boudoir, and there are water basins in the corner to replenish water.Even in the cold winter with heavy wind and snow, the room is as warm and comfortable as spring.

Miss Li sat in front of the table and chair by the window.He was looking out of the window full of thoughts, as if he was waiting for someone.On the desk where Ms. Li was sitting was a pen, ink, paper and inkstone. In front of the desk were several handwritten pamphlets of fairness. Under the girl’s hands was a piece of rice paper. On the rice paper was a line of poetry.
"Enter the gate of my lovesickness, and know that my lovesickness is painful. Long lovesickness is long-term lovesickness, and short-term lovesickness is endless. If I knew it was so stumbling, why didn't I know each other at the beginning."

Suddenly there was a sound of small steps outside, Miss Li's eyes lit up, and when she looked up, she saw the bunny maid outside the window trotting towards the boudoir with her skirt in her hands.

"Miss, miss, Brother Wang is here."

A few seconds later, Baozi's little servant girl ran in panting, and yelled and reported to her own lady as soon as she entered the door.

"Come on, Miss, I'm a little hungry. You go to the back kitchen and ask the cook to make me a tofu crucian carp soup. The taste should be lighter today. I can't trust others. Well, before going to the back kitchen, take Wang Xiao Two, call me."

Li Shu calmed down, picked up the brush calmly, and continued to write the poems she hadn't finished, and didn't lift her head when she ordered the little maid of Baozi.

"Well, I'll go right away." The little girl Baozi heard that the lady said that she was the most trustworthy, Le's little face was flushed, she nodded repeatedly, and trotted out with her skirt in her arms.

After about 5 minutes, an old lady led Wang Xiaoer in, and the old lady stood at the door after receiving it.When Wang Xiaoer walked in, he kept his head down, he didn't dare to look up at anything in the lady's boudoir, he only looked at his own toes, and stopped after taking three steps.

"Wang Xiaoer, what's his reaction?"

After Wang Xiaoer and the old lady entered the door, Li Shu stopped her brush and asked indifferently, as if she was indifferent, but her ears were still open.

"My uncle was a little surprised when he heard about the engagement, and was very skeptical." Wang Xiaoer replied with his head down.

Hearing this, Li Shu held the brush in her hand, and unknowingly stained the rice paper with ink.

"However, after the little one handed the marriage certificate to the uncle, the uncle read it once, nodded and put the marriage certificate away." Wang Xiaoer continued to reply with his head down.

Hearing that Zhu Ping'an nodded and put the marriage certificate close to him, Li Shu's brows stretched. She didn't expect that idiot to put it close to her.

"What did he say?" Li Shu narrowed her eyes slightly and asked with interest.

Wang Xiaoer lowered his head and narrated the question and answer between him and Zhu Pingan to Li Shu.After Li Shu heard this, she curled her lips, this idiot is not afraid of being exhausted, he has a horse, so why is he in such a hurry!
"When I first met my uncle, my uncle was meeting a wild wolf." Wang Xiaoer paused, and told about Zhu Pingan's encounter with a wolf.

"Huh? How is he?"

Hearing this, Li Shu, who was still calm and relaxed, pressed the brush on the paper at once, made a sound of surprise, and her pretty face was full of worry.

The next second after asking, Li Shu realized that she had overreacted, and since Wang Xiaoer was able to report this to herself here, it must be that the idiot is fine.

"It's really unlucky. An accident happened just after we got engaged. If others find out, they can't blame me, Kefu."

So, Li Shu coughed, and returned to her calm and calm appearance, and found a step for herself in her mouth.

"My uncle is fine. Thanks to the young lady who asked me to deliver the letter, I arrived in time. I stabbed the wolf to death, and my uncle was not injured." Wang Xiaoer put all the credit on Li Shu.

"Oh."

Li Shu let out a light oh.

The room was quiet for a while, Wang Xiaoer lowered his head to look at his feet, and then heard his young lady's order.

"Forget it, save others saying that I'm going to die hard, so don't go to my father this time, pack up and go north. Well, since that person wants to travel thousands of miles, you should protect him in secret. Don't come forward if you have nothing to do. My father, I will say it myself. "

Li Shu crumpled up the ink-stained rice paper and threw it into the wastebasket aside, giving a casual order.

"I'll go down and clean it up now." Wang Xiaoer bent down and lowered his head to answer, then stepped back while bending over.

"Wait, did you buy the medicine I asked you to buy?"

When Wang Xiaoer pushed to the door, he suddenly heard a question from the eldest lady.
