Chapter 65
Early in the morning of the first day of the first lunar month, Zhu Youning, who went to bed late last year, had been knocked on the door before she got up.
She heard a little noise, turned over and continued to be confused. Bai Ling went to the bed and said softly: "Girl, Young Master Ping from the Fourth Room is here. Now I am talking to the master in the main room. The wife asked me to call you up."
Zhu Youning was lost in sleeping, and after a while, he realized who Young Master Ping was.
He turned over and sat up, rubbed his eyes and asked, "Who is here? Is Young Master Ping himself or someone else?"
"Go back to the girl, Young Master Ping only brought a servant."
Zhu Youning nodded, and was still thinking when washing and changing clothes: Why did Zhu Youan not come with Zhu Yanping? Even if the two of them are not in harmony, with the fourth wife and the fourth master, those who are good at the New Year should be considered as good as being a face for the New Year.
When Zhu Youning came to the main house, Zhu Yanping sat upright on the chair, chatting with Zhu Huating seriously about poetry and books, while Bai listened with a smile.
Seeing Zhu Youning enter the door, Zhu Yanping's eyes lit up, and he looked like he was finally saved, and said with a smile: "Sister Nine."
"Cousin Ping, it's a happy New Year."
"Happy Chinese New Year, too. I brought some fruits and snacks, and you can eat something later."
"Thank you, cousin Ping, still thinking about me. I wanted to go to greet you as a New Year, but I slept late last night, so I didn't expect you to come first."
"Isn't it the same if I come first?" Zhu Yanping squeezed his eyes at Zhu Youning, "How are you practicing calligraphy?"
When Zhu Youning saw Zhu Yanping's appearance, he knew that he must have been shocked by Zhu Huating's seriousness when he talked about the Four Books and Five Classics.
Zhu Huating loves reading, so he hopes that the younger generations around him can also read more. Zhu Youning often pesters her father to teach her how to read, but not everyone likes to listen to these.
Most of the young people as old as Zhu Yanping can’t sit still.
People come here to greet New Year with kindness, but they can't let him continue to listen to the lectures. Zhu Youning happened to have something to ask him, so he cooperated and said, "I have been practicing these days. Do you want to see if my writing has improved?"
"Okay!" Zhu Yanping agreed quickly.
"Okay, you brothers and sisters go and play by themselves."
Zhu Huating smiled. He also knew that the children of the Zhu family, whoever learn to do business, rarely have the intention to study poetry and books. After asking for a few questions of homework, Zhu Yanping had a sweat in the middle of winter, and he was unwilling to force him.
Zhu Yanping happily followed Zhu Youning out of the house as if he had been amnesty.
Bai looked at the backs of the two children and couldn't help but smile: "I didn't expect that Fu Ya'er and Brother Ping could play together. Since then, Fu Ya'er was quiet and afraid of life, but now she has become so surprised that even me, a mother-in-law, is."
"Yes, the child's personality is the most malleable. Fu Ya'er is also tired of being taken by me. I am an incompetent father and she is smart. If she doesn't use her skills, what can I do?"
"Master, don't say that." Bai Shi held Zhu Huating's hand with distress.
Zhu Huating smiled and said, "Don't worry, I've already seen it. Now that our family can be together, Fu Ya'er is sensible, and you are healthy. Whether it's a birth of a brother or a sister in the future, as long as our whole family is safe, I will be content."
When Bai heard this, he remembered the eldest son Zhu Yanqing who died, and tears came up in an instant. He was afraid that Zhu Huating would be sad, so he quickly wiped his face with the back of his hand and changed the subject with a smile.
"I think Brother Ping is not bad, so it's also good for Fu Yaer to have more brothers and sisters."
Zhu Huating also knew what Bai Shi was thinking, but he didn't want to talk too much about the past, so he just made Bai Shi sad, so he followed her words: "Children, how many of them are born bad? But the environment in the Zhu family is too bad."
Zhu Youning and Zhu Yanping arrived at her wing room and left the servant. Zhu Youning asked, "Cousin Ping, why didn't my sixth sister come with you today?"
Zhu Yanping said: "Because of her instigation, my mother is still angry, so she is punished to copy books."
After saying that, he felt that the fourth wife had done a bit too much, so Zhu Yanping hurriedly added: "My sister is also copying books, and my mother is punishing them the same now."
Zhu Youning nodded and said, "It's hard to make the fourth wife."
Zhu Yanping waved his hand and flipped up Zhu Youning's words.
Zhu Youning sat on the side of the exchange and pondered for a while, and said, "Cousin Ping, I want to bother you more if you have something."
Zhu Yanping looked up curiously: "Okay, you said."
"My sixth sister has been spoiled by my aunt since childhood. You know my father and my mother's temperament. He is the most tender to treat children. Therefore, my sixth sister is very arrogant and likes to compare and is prone to jealousy. She is probably already hated by your mother in your family. If it is possible in the future, please help me take care of her. Don't ask someone to make her look bad."
Zhu Youning sighed and stood up, giving Zhu Yanping a salute.
Zhu Yanping was a little surprised and said for a while: "I thought you wanted her to die. After all, she hurt you last time, but she didn't care whether you were dead or alive. I didn't expect you to be a broad-minded person."
"Do you think I'm repaying my grudges with kindness?" Zhu Youning smiled and waved his hand, "If I only look at her, I wouldn't pay attention to so much. The reason why I beg you is for my father. Otherwise, do you really think I'll take care of her?"
Zhu Yanping probably knew some of the underworld in the eldest wife. Zhu Youning's legitimate brother died strangely. Zhu Huatingtong had three children. One of them was gone because of an accident. The blow he experienced was really big. No matter how bad his daughter was, it was Zhu Huating's bloodline. If something happened to Zhu Youan, Zhu Huating would probably have to withstand a lot of blow again.
Zhu Yanping said, "Okay, I can help you, but I never help you for nothing."
"My cousin Ping has any instructions, just say it. I will do my best to do what I can." When Zhu Yanping talked about the conditions, Zhu Youning was not only not angry, but felt at ease.
Exchange and help each other, so that they are fair, and there is no need to worry about mutual gratitude in the future.
Such a clear conclusion made both of them feel at ease.
Zhu Yanping said: "I know you are smart. I didn't compare with you at the conference last year. I didn't get the industry. I was not as skilled as a human being. I had no complaints if I lost. I just thought, if I don't understand anything in the future, I'll ask you, can you help me think about it, and I can learn from you. If I can't get the industry at the end of this year, my grandfather will probably be able to peel my skin."
It turned out to be for this.
Zhu Youning smiled and said readily: "Okay, then we'll make up for you. I'll help you take care of my sixth sister. If something happens to you, you really can't do anything. I won't force you to do anything. You just need to tell me."
"Trade." Zhu Yanping smiled and raised his hand.
