  Chapter 294 Fatty Zhou

After the brats left, Zhu Pingan cleaned up the messy table made by the brats, grabbed the innocent toad in his hand, walked out the door, put the toad in the flower garden outside, and then covered the toad with soil. Cover loosely.

   Well, continue to hibernate.

  After that, I went back to the room again, laid out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and continued to practice calligraphy. This time there were no bears to disturb the mess, until a little maid came to say that the Hou Mansion would hold a dinner reception, so Zhu Pingan collected the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and followed the little maid to the front hall where the banquet was held.

  Turn left and turn right, walk through the mountain corridor, and pass through several doors before arriving at the place where the banquet is held.

This is one of the many rooms in the Hou Mansion. It is a small living room. Although it is said to be a small living room, it has a large area and is decorated very carefully. It is carpeted. There are many kinds of jade screens, potted plants, vases, etc. in the room. In addition, there are some valuable decorations such as corals and exquisite jade carvings, which make people know at a glance that this family is also a wealthy family.

  In the middle of the living room, there is a nave and a couplet. The couplet reads, "Coarse clothes and light food, and some tea, this old man enjoys it! Qi family governs the country and the world, Cao Renzhi for such things."

  It's still a rough meal, it's all extravagant like this.

   This couplet should be left by their Li family who followed Zhu Yuanzhang's ancestors who founded the country. However, looking at the furnishings in the living room, one knew that the couplets of the ancestors of the Li family were left for nothing, and it is estimated that the ancestors would jump up angrily if they knew about it.

After entering the living room, Zhu Pingan found out that everyone else was already seated, most of them were girls, and sitting in the middle was a silver-haired old woman who looked about sixty years old, and was praised by all the stars. Surrounding her like the moon.

  The Second Miss, Third Miss, Fourth Miss, and Sixth Miss of the Hou Mansion were all sitting around the old woman, and Li Shu sat a little farther away.

  The old lady of the Hou Mansion held a little loli in her arms. The little loli bit her chubby finger and looked at Zhu Pingan. There was a bear child leaning on the old lady's knee, and she looked at Zhu Pingan at the door with a provocative face.

  As soon as Zhu Ping'an entered the living room, everyone turned to look at Zhu Ping'an.

"Hey, who is this big brother? Is he the one we were waiting for? Why did you come here? Niuniu is so hungry after waiting." The little loli in the arms of the old lady of the Hou Mansion bit her chubby little finger , clutching his belly paper, looked at Zhu Ping'an with a cute face and asked.

   "That's right. Let us wait for so long, it's not as polite as my sister and I." Leaning on the bear child of the old lady of the Hou Mansion, he looked at Zhu Pingan provocatively and said.

  Then, the old lady of the Hou Mansion's face, which was already bad, became even worse.

  Miss Six of Hou's Mansion covered her mouth and let out a chuckle when she heard the words, looking at Zhu Ping'an with gloating eyes.

Understood.

  The little maid just now must have been instructed by one of them to call her after a long time on purpose. Really, interesting, it seems that there are many people in the Hou's mansion who find him unhappy.

   "It's a shame that I was born late."

  Zhu Ping'an bowed to apologize to everyone, readily admitted that he was late, and did not pull out the little girl who called him just now to confront him, they came prepared. How can I let myself grasp the handle? It's better to admit my mistake directly and straightforwardly.

   "That's all, let's take a seat."

  The old lady of the Hou Mansion, who was sitting in the middle, put on a face and waved her hand to signal Zhu Pingan to sit down. Then a little maid came up to Zhu Pingan and led Zhu Pingan to another table.

  Ancient ritual system: For seven years, men and women sit on different seats and eat different utensils. That is, when a child reaches the age of seven, men and women cannot sit together or eat at the same table. In Houfu. Even more particular.

  The old lady and the others sat at the same table, and Zhu Pingan sat at the table by himself, without anyone to accompany him. It seemed that the Hou Mansion really didn't think much of themselves. After Zhu Ping took his seat, he became more certain about this issue.

  The meals were served on the table one by one, with extravagant and extravagant ostentation. Even Zhu Pingan was alone, and there were more than ten dishes on the table, not to mention the table of the old lady of the Hou Mansion and the others.

   "Old ancestor, let someone cook something delicious while I'm away."

  There was a voice unique to boys in the period of voice change coming from outside the door. Then I saw a familiar fat man trotting in.

This fat man is very familiar. He was the last one among the group of honorable children who rode their horses into the city at the gate of the city. He also kissed all his belongings once when he waited in line for the exam. The picture means kissing ( Which weird fat guy.

  At the gate of the city, when people called him Fatty Zhou, Young Master Zhou, they thought his surname was Zhou, but unexpectedly his surname was Li, so it should be because the last word of his name is "Zhou".

  This fat man is not of the same type as the fat man Xue Chi, this fat man is a pure second generation ancestor. From the inside to the outside, it also exudes a strong second-hand atmosphere.

  This fat man is the most beloved darling of the old lady of the Hou Mansion among the grandchildren of the Hou Mansion. He still looks a little bit worried, his face is full of smiles, and his eyes are narrowed.

"You gluttonous monkey grandson, when did the ancestors forget you coming here as a monkey?" The old lady of the Hou Mansion smiled from ear to ear, beckoned the fat man to come over, and asked with concern, "Why did you sleep for a while? Here you go, why don’t you sleep in for a while, you’ve been in the exam room for nine days and seven nights, but grandma is worried. You fell asleep as soon as you entered the house, and grandma didn’t ask you, how did you do in the exam this time?”

  The fat man heard what the old lady of the Hou Mansion said, and said with a bully face, "Don't worry, old ancestor, grandson is safe this time."

   Zhu Pingan at the other table was a little speechless after hearing what the fat man said. You must have kissed him before.

   Li Shu, who was sitting on the table, rolled her eyes when she heard the words. She had heard that this cousin of the uncle's family was the most unreliable. He was like a pig when he was a child, lazy, stupid, greedy, and self-righteous. I don't know how much effort the uncle spent to get him the qualification for the national examination, but now he dares to say that he has passed the exam, which is ridiculous. If Zhu Ping'an can still say that, I can't figure out where your confidence comes from.

   "Okay, okay, I know my monkey is promising." The old lady of the Hou Mansion smiled even more cheerfully, "It's not in vain for your mother and the others to go to the temple to pray for you."

   "Hey, who are you?"

  The fat man walked into the living room and was about to go to the old lady's table in the Hou Mansion when he suddenly spotted Zhu Ping'an, stopped in his tracks, and asked with a fat face.

   Before Zhu Ping'an spoke, the brat who was leaning against the old lady of the Hou Mansion ran out screaming, hugged the fat man's thigh, pointed at Zhu Ping'an and said.

   "He's a bumpkin who came to take advantage."

  The bear child pointed at Zhu Ping'an, squinted his small eyes and said to the fat man, looking at Zhu Ping'an's small eyes still had a small flame.

  Hearing this, Fatty Zhou looked at Zhu Ping'an with disdain. The bumpkin, he turned out to be a pariah! Dare to take advantage of our Linhuaihou Mansion!

   "Rui'er, how do you talk? That's your future fifth brother-in-law." Miss Six of the Hou Mansion smiled while covering her small mouth.

  Except for Li Shu and the little bun girl behind her, the others didn't mean to teach the name of Zhu Ping'an by the bear child, but a feeling of gloating.

   "I don't want a country bumpkin to be my fifth brother-in-law. I want my grandmother's cousin to be my fifth brother-in-law, so I don't want this country bumpkin."

  The bear boy looked at Zhu Ping'an with a displeased face, and howled.

"Cough cough, Tongyan Wuji, Tongyan Wuji. Alright, come here, Rui'er, come to my sister." The second young lady of the Hou Mansion coughed with a handkerchief in her slender hand, half trying to smooth things over, Called to the bear child.
