  Chapter 129 Uncle Came to Borrow Money

   It has been a week since I came to Yingtian, and it is less than ten days before the college exam. Zhu Pingan's review is also concentrated on the four books and stereotypes. During the period, I was disturbed several times by the fat man. From time to time, the fat man bumped into the attic and came downstairs with a blue forehead, but every time he cheerfully said that it was a sign of the top case in high school, and the fat man also had a wink, and came to look for him. Zhu Ping'an mostly has meals, so he won't disturb Zhu Ping'an's review too much.

  One day when Zhu Ping'an was studying by the window, someone knocked on the door.

  Zhu Pingan thought it was the fat Xue Chi, so he said casually, the door is unlocked, just push the door and come in.

Then

   feel wrong

  Zhu Ping'an looked up and saw a person behind the shop clerk, looking at him with his head tilted with a little doubt.

  Uncle! Why did the uncle come here? I thought that Ying Tian was old enough, maybe he would have to meet him in the college exam, but he didn't expect to see him again so soon. I have always had a bad impression of my uncle, especially when I got home and saw my grandfather, grandmother, aunt and others trying their best to raise money for my uncle, I felt disgusted with my uncle.

  Uncle Zhu Shouren saw Zhu Ping'an looking up, and then he confirmed that the back of the young man who lived in the first-class room was his nephew Zhu Ping'an.

   "Hey, it's really you. Uncle thought he made a mistake. I haven't seen you for a few months, but he has gained a little weight. Uncle feels relieved."

  After the uncle recognized Zhu Ping'an, he thanked the shop assistants farewell, entered the room alone, walked up to Zhu Ping'an, and chatted familiarly about homework.

   "When did uncle come to Yingtian?" Zhu Pingan stopped the pen in his hand and asked.

  Uncle never went to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, and it was not a good thing, so he raised his vigilance when he saw Uncle Zhu Ping'an.

   "Uncle, I have been in Yingtian for a while, and I was busy reviewing books a few days ago, so I didn't come to look for him." The uncle said seriously, and looked at Zhu Ping'an's house over and over again with his hands behind his back.

   "Hey, I'm afraid this house is not cheap?" the uncle asked after changing his voice.

"Oh, this house, I don't know. I originally lived in the loft upstairs, and the price is much cheaper. The owner of this house thinks that my loft is a good sign, so he insisted on changing it with me." Zhu Ping'an didn't know his uncle's intentions, so he spoke with some leeway.

  Uncle Zhu Shouren heard the words but didn't believe it at all. How could such a good thing happen?

  Zhu Pingan held a brush in his hand, and watched his uncle Zhu Shouren rambling on for a long time. Let him go on like this, so he didn't even think about reviewing the book, so he asked directly: "How is uncle recently, did you come to see Xi'er for something?"

  Uncle Zhu Shouren seemed to be waiting for Zhu Pingan to say this.

"Uncle gave you a piece of wealth. Uncle doesn't have a friend. You have also met him. His mentor happens to be a teacher in the county school. He has connections. My friend got the inside information. His mentor can be a day earlier... "The uncle paused when he said this, carefully looked out the window and outside the door, and after confirming that there was no one there, he continued mysteriously, "I can know the exam questions one day in advance, and ah..."

  When Zhu Pingan heard the words, he made a supercilious look, let's put it down. Uncle has been saying this for many years, and he has not passed the college examination after so many exams.

   "Thank you for your kindness, Uncle. For Uncle's sake, it's better for fewer people to know about such good things, so Uncle doesn't have to tell you." Zhu Pingan interrupted Uncle's words lightly.

Huh?

   It shouldn't be this reaction. Uncle Zhu Shouren still has a lot to say at this time, but he didn't expect that Zhu Ping'an was not moved at all.

   "Ahem, the exam questions this time are very reliable." Uncle Zhu Shouren said confidently.

   "Well, is that so?" Zhu Pingan said casually.

   There was a scene, and the uncle Zhu Shouren was a little happy, but it was broken by Zhu Ping'an's words in the next second.

   "Well, is that so, then I will congratulate uncle in advance." Zhu Pingan said lightly, not taking the so-called inside story seriously at all.

  Uncle Zhu Shouren never expected Zhu Ping'an's reaction like this, which made him choke on the rest of his words. However, the uncle Zhu Shouren is not an ordinary person. Seeing that Zhu Pingan didn't take over, he decided to settle for the next best thing.

"Hey, do you have a lot of money recently? Uncle has spent a lot of time studying his books recently, and his money is a bit tight. The teacher of the uncle's friend will come tomorrow, and the uncle wants to invite him to a restaurant for a quick meal. Let’s talk about the inside story. In this court exam, you and my uncle and nephew are not just trying to get something out of their pockets. For our Zhu family, but also for us, so, you first move a couple of eighty-two first and treat him to a drink with your uncle, and return later. home, uncle will pay you back..."

  Then the uncle described the proud scene after passing the examination as a scholar, as if everything was under his control.

  Ten taels and eight taels? The uncle said it very lightly, like a penny or two pennies, the kind that he didn't pay much attention to. I don't know at all that my family has to work hard for half a year for these 128 liang. Sweat... It seems that when I was at home, my grandfather and the others just asked someone to send money to my uncle!

   "Oh, I was distracted just now, can I trouble you to repeat the previous sentence again?" Zhu Pingan couldn't see any expression on his face, but he was very upset in his heart.

   "For our Zhu family, and for us, so..." Uncle Zhu Shouren thought that Zhu Ping'an was tempted, and opened his mouth to repeat the previous sentence again.

   "Not this sentence, go on." Zhu Pingan shook his head.

   "Uncle's friend's mentor will come tomorrow, uncle wants to invite him to a restaurant for a light meal..." Uncle Zhu Shouren repeated the previous sentence.

  Zhu Ping'an still shook his head.

   "Hey, do you have a lot of money recently? Uncle recently spent a lot of time studying..." No, that was the first sentence, and uncle Zhu Shouren repeated the first sentence.

   Just saying this, he was interrupted by Zhu Ping'an's simple voice.

   "Oh, I don't have a lot of money, uncle." Zhu Pingan looked at the uncle with a simple and honest face, and said solemnly.

Uh

  Uncle Zhu Shouren stared at Zhu Ping'an in a daze for a few seconds, but didn't react. But the uncle is not an ordinary person after all, he paused for a few seconds and then said again.

   "Oh, I don't have a lot of money, that's okay, why not send a letter to my family, let the family raise a little... After all, it's all for the Zhu family, I think the second brother can understand..."

  Zhu Ping'an heard the words, and immediately rushed to the thunder and thunder, the uncle is really educated and talented, you can imagine it!

   "Since the letter is sent to the home, the uncle can also send the letter to the old house. The old house has more money and more money." Zhu Pingan looked up at the uncle and said, seeing what the uncle said, the uncle must have used this reason to ask for money from the old house.

Uncle Zhu Shouren is also a bachelor, "Your grandfather has already sent me money, but I spent a lot of money on reading books recently, and you also know that your grandfather is very hot-tempered, and sending letters to the old house is afraid... So, this is why I am bothering you." Send a letter home."

   "The uncle is afraid of the grandfather, and the son is also afraid of the mother." Zhu Ping'an said lightly.

  The uncle looked relaxed, patted Zhu Ping'an on the shoulder and said, "What are you afraid of? You are young, and you can withstand the beating better than I can! Besides, when we are selected as a scholar, your mother will not be happy in time."

  Uncle, where is your face, I can't find it!

   "It took a long time to send the letter home, and I couldn't catch up with tomorrow. I must have missed my uncle's opportunity. Uncle should find another way." Zhu Pingan said lightly, suggesting that he was kind and considerate of his uncle.

  The uncle returned disappointed.
