Jinyi champion

Chapter 216
Zhu Hao deeply felt Zhu Si's admiration for him.

This is probably also an important reason why Zhu Youzhao encouraged him to take the imperial examination. Usually, Zhu Si regards Zhu Hao as an idol and mentions it repeatedly in front of his family, making Zhu Youzhang feel that since he wants to set an example of Zhu Hao, it is best to let him "become famous as a young man." , so that the son will feel the gap and work hard...

The ideal is full.

Will the reality be very skinny?

Zhu Hao was also thinking about this question.

Could it be that King Xing was not afraid that after his son found out that the gap between Zhu Hao and Zhu Hao was getting bigger and bigger, he would develop a self-defeating mentality, give up chasing after him, and fall into mediocrity?

Perhaps it is because when a father sets an example of "other people's children", he never considers the negative impact it will have on his own children. He always ideally believes that such an example is positive.

In the end, don't hit Zhu Si's self-esteem.

……

……

During this time, Zhu Niang was selecting a personal maid for her son.

I chose several.

After they were brought back, they were sent back as short as an hour or as long as a day.

Either Zhu Niang and Aunt Li were dissatisfied, or Zhu Hao expressed his dissatisfaction after returning home in the afternoon.

Zhu Hao was extremely picky when it came to choosing a maidservant.

No way, who told Zhu Niang to find a little maid to take care of his daily life?

Since this servant girl is here to serve me, she must be well-behaved, smart, and most importantly...be beautiful, and it's best to be a little playful, and be able to play with me...

Then Zhu Hao realized that his vision was set too high. After rejecting the maids that Zhu Niang had found for him one after another, Zhu Hao scolded him severely. Zhu Hao learned from the pain and decided to lower his requirements appropriately.

As long as you are beautiful and obedient.

That afternoon when Zhu Hao returned home from school, he found that a new maid had come to the house.

He was only seven years old, an age that could not serve others at all. Zhu Hao saw that he was indeed beautiful, but he seemed a little shy and introverted, the type who was not good at communicating.

"Mother, can I get another one?" Zhu Hao immediately began to suggest to Zhu Niang, "This age is too young, and she doesn't seem to be very good at taking care of others... don't wait for me to take care of her?"

Zhu Niang was speechless.

Aunt Li said from the side: "I said, Master Hao, you should be content. Recently, your mother has searched all the teeth in the city, and even the children of the tenant families outside the city. If you want to be cute, you can also look at them." Is it that easy to make someone love you..."

Zhu Niang said: "Xiaohao, tell the truth, is it true that you never planned to find a maid from the beginning? You said so much just to cheat on your mother?"

"No no……"

Zhu Hao hurriedly defended, "I was looking for it wholeheartedly, but I didn't find anyone I liked... Finding a maid is not the same as looking for a wife. You have to pick and choose? Just find one and stuff it in my room. What's up?"

Aunt Li thought about it: "Why does this sound so awkward?"

Zhu Niang frowned: "Xiaohao, you are young, why are you looking for a wife? Where did you learn it from?"

"I read it from the book...the book has its own golden house, the book has its own Yan Ruyu, a gentle lady and a gentleman..." Zhu Hao nonsense.

"Pfft..."

Aunt Li couldn't help laughing out loud, and then quickly covered her mouth.

Perhaps Aunt Li could see that Zhu Hao was making fun of his mother.

Zhu Niang said with a straight face: "Now I'm picking a maid for you, not a child bride-in-law, that won't work and this won't work, why don't you go find it yourself next time you rest?"

Zhu Hao looked into the yard, because the conversation was in the house, the little girl outside should not be able to hear it, but to say... this little girl is quite cute, she looks like the little Nezha in the previous life, so It's a good thing for a lovely little girl to grow up with him.

"Then mother... just decide this, don't change it!"

Zhu Hao finally agreed.

Zhu Niang glared at Zhu Hao, she was speechless, as if she was saying, you have finally enlightened, it is really embarrassing for your mother.

……

……

Then Zhu Niang went out and said something to the little girl.

When the little girl heard that she had been admitted, a smile appeared on her face, and two shallow dimples appeared at the corners of her mouth, making her look even more delicate and cute.

Zhu Hao, on the other hand, stared at the little girl and smirked like a bad sorghum sizing up his prey.

The little girl met Zhu Hao's eyes, and when she noticed Zhu Hao's narrow eyes, she lowered her head instantly, looking very shy.

"Mom, what's her name?" Zhu Hao asked.

"It's called Xiaoyuan."

Aunt Li snatches white.

Zhu Hao looked it over carefully: "But her face is not round."

Zhu Niang said angrily: "It's not that Yuan, are you stupid in reading? It's just the same pronunciation. Xiaoyuan and Xiaobai are actually of the same clan. In terms of seniority, Xiaoyuan is still Xiaobai's aunt..."

Xiaoyuan is actually "Xiaobai"'s aunt?

Sure enough, seniors with the same surname cannot be judged by age.

At this time, Xiaobai just came out. She was very happy to know that an aunt in her family had been admitted, and she wished she could go back and report the good news to her family immediately.

"It's good to have a companion, take care of each other... Then mother, when will she start serving as my maid?" Zhu Hao couldn't wait to see if this Xiaoyuan really cared for others.

Zhu Niang said: "From today onwards, she will live at home, but she cannot live in your house, so I will temporarily set up a couch for her in the room next to yours..."

Zhu Hao protested: "Then if I wake up in the middle of the night, won't I find someone to serve me?"

"Pooh."

Aunt Li scolded at the side, "You are young, but you like to toss people around. You need someone to help you when you get up at night, or what? Didn't you relieve yourself before? You learn to be bad before you grow up."

Zhu Hao sighed: "The thing about pouring the chamber pot, she should have done it for me?"

Xiaoyuan looked confused, as if she didn't know what a chamber pot was.

When Xiaobai came to her side and Fuer explained roughly, Xiaoyuan's face turned even redder.

"Okay, now that we're here, the family doesn't talk about each other, so we pack up and prepare for dinner, and we'll find two maids to share Xiaobai's hard work..."

Zhu Niang finally let go of the big stone in her heart, and showed the majesty of the mistress, "If I knew this, I would let Xiaobai go home and explain the situation in our family, so there is no need to bother people... I think I will look for a maid again, just like the girl from the Xiaobai clan. Choose from among them, familiar people are easy to handle.”

Zhu Hao listened to Zhu Niang's meaning, is this planning to drag the little girls from the Xiaobai clan into the yard to be maids?

This posture...

Don't go to the end, the magpie's nest is occupied by the dove, that's no fun.

If the servant girls are familiar with each other, it is easy to form cliques...

and many more.

What do I think these are for?
Zhu Hao suddenly felt that he was bored, probably because he really had nothing to do recently.

Books are read, money is earned, the family and business are all completed, there are "famous teachers" to teach, the palace has high hopes, and Zhu Houcong thrives;

The family is in good health, the old lady is half dead, and there is an uncle who likes to make moths but there is no threat for the time being... I have been in this time and space for more than a year, and it seems that I have never lived so comfortably like today.

……

……

dinner.

Aunt Li helped Xiaobai prepare a table of delicious food together.

Both Xiaobai and the newcomer Xiaoyuan were called to the table for dinner, but the pair of aunts and nephews seemed very reserved, especially Xiaoyuan, who was very uncomfortable coming to Zhu's house on the first day.

"Mother, there is something I didn't tell you before. King Xing and Mr. Lu approached me yesterday and discussed letting me take the county examination next year. This matter has been confirmed."

Zhu Hao took advantage of the meal to tell the good news.

Zhu Niang already knew that Tang Yin intended to let Zhu Hao take the county test. Before that, she was very worried. She felt that her son was young and he had only been in Meng for two years. This would take off?Don't fly to the sky at the end, but fall headlong to the ground.

Aunt Li smiled and said: "This is a good thing. If Master Quanxia knows about it, he should be very happy. Master Hao is finally promising..."

Holding the job bowl, Zhu Niang said calmly, "You should be more pragmatic, Xiaohao, do you think you have a good chance of passing the childbirth test?"

"I think...it's about the same, mother, I'm going to take a shower after dinner, can I ask Xiaoyuan to wash it for me?"

The turning point of Zhu Hao's words was a bit big. Zhu Niang was still thinking about whether it would be too early for her son to take the imperial examination, but when she heard what Zhu Hao said later, she immediately gave her son a blank look.

Aunt Li looked at her wife, and said tentatively: "The age is about the same, isn't the personal maid just taking care of daily life? If it is serving the bath... it is also a reasonable thing, and she is not a big girl, so you should not worry about it?"

This means...

If Xiaobai waited for Zhu Hao to take a bath, it would be a big problem. Although Xiaobai is not much older, she is a girl who has "opened up" anyway, while Xiaoyuan is one or two years younger than Zhu Hao. It should be ignorant of the matter, even skin-to-skin contact is not a big problem.

Zhu Ting looked confused: "Didn't Sister Xiaoyuan come to our house to play? Why do you have to wait for brother to take a bath?"

Aunt Li quickly gave her daughter a hand: "Good boy, you are young and don't understand these things."

Zhu Ting looked at her eldest brother again, as if to say, he hasn't grown up yet, so why does he understand?
Zhu Hao smiled and said, "I usually spend less time at home. Isn't it great to play with many Xiaoyuans with Xiaoting? Recently, I have to be busy with the imperial examination. Mr. Lu said that he would find me some If you go home every day, you may not be able to study well...it may take four or five days to come back once."

Zhu Niang said: "It's good to live in the palace, not to mention the hard work of running back and forth every day, it seems that you don't have the heart to study at home... How about you go to the imperial examination like this?"

Zhu Hao really wants to say, you haven’t seen my state in the palace. I pretend to read at home, but I don’t even bother to pretend in the palace. Anyway, everyone in the palace knows that I’m a genius, the kind who learns without a teacher. .

Even my husband let me go.

Aunt Li smiled and said: "That should be washed well, and I should bring some more clothes to change. I will study with the prince in the palace. What does it look like when it is dirty? Xiaobai, go boil the water after eating... the weather It's getting colder, you can't keep bathing in cold water, or you will get sick...Xiaoyuan, this is your first test to enter my Zhu family, to see if you can serve the young master well."

"Ah."

Although Xiaoyuan didn't quite understand, she nodded emphatically.
