"Why?" Qi Kun had heard his father say this for the first time—he had always thought that his father was particularly optimistic about Xu Qian.

"I am indeed very optimistic about them, even at this moment, I feel that Xu Wen's son has a great future. Qi Zhengze seemed to see his son's thoughts and said to him solemnly.

"Then why ......" Qi Kun didn't understand.

"Xu Wen is indeed very strong based on personal strength, and if you directly refer to the government examination according to the previous examination system, it is indeed very likely to win the championship in one fell swoop. Even if you take the college exam next, it is difficult to judge whether you are the best or not, but it should not be a problem to pass the exam. Qi Zhengze said slowly and told his son his judgment.

But Sun Boran's move is not only for the apprentice, but also for the entire workshop. Xu asked the strength of one person, how to compete with the entire workshop?" Qi Zhengze waved his hand and drew a circle, drawing all the masters present, and what he said actually included more and more.

Qi Kun didn't speak, looking at what had just been made on the table.

His father should be right, just say this, although the main hands-on work is still done by him, but he alone is simply impossible to do this level.

If the level of this birthday gift is really regarded as the standard of the apprenticeship test, no matter how strong Xu Wen's ability is, he is the only one......

"Although I haven't been there for the past few days, I still know what the Senate asked for. Qi Zhengze didn't say any more, but patted his son's shoulder and shook his head.

Qi Kun didn't speak, and after a while, he let out a long sigh.

In the secluded courtyard called the Senheyuan, Xu Wen and Lu Cheng knew nothing about Qi Zheng's evaluation.

"Are we really sending this?" Looking at the whole row of mini furniture on the table, Lu Cheng asked excitedly and apprehensively.

"What, you don't think you can handle it?" Xu Wen picked up the ten pieces of furniture one by one, measured them carefully with his eyes, and asked casually.

"To be honest, it's a bit ......" Lu Cheng was really a little weak-hearted, "What if everyone sends large finished products......?"

"It's just small. Xu Wen smiled, he put the last one back, took the finished box again, put these "gadgets" into it one by one, and said, "Moreover, although these are small, we have made them with great effort, which is enough to reflect our skill level." ”

"That's right. Lu Cheng stared at Xu Wen's movements for a long time, scratched his head and said, "I just think it's ...... as a birthday gift."

"Candidates, you must abide by the duties of candidates. Xu Wen winked at Lu Cheng.

Lu Cheng looked dazed, just in time Qi Zhengze and they arrived, came to greet Xu Wen and they went to give gifts together.

Xu Wen generously opened the box in his hand to Qi Zhengze, who showed obvious surprise at the delicacy and ingenuity of these small furniture, but finally sighed and stopped talking.

"Let's go. He greeted and walked out with Xu Wen and Lu Cheng.

Recently, the weather has gradually become hotter, and Master Yao is a little bitter in summer, and his health is not too good. Today, he didn't go with him, so he asked Qi Zhengze to help take care of it.

The group took the car on the road, and Xu Wen was talking to Lu Cheng and Qi Kun at first, but it didn't take long to be attracted by the scenery outside the window.

"It's ......," he couldn't help but exclaim.

"Isn't it wrong?" Qi Kun also noticed, and went out directly to ask the coachman.

"Guoxiang Alley in the south of the city, this is the road, that's right!" said the coachman, whipped his horsewhip, with great certainty.

Several people in the car glanced at each other, and their expressions were a little strange.

"Young masters, do you think this place is too old?" said the coachman with a smile when he saw what they were thinking.

Several people looked at the loess road outside and the dust raised in the sky, and nodded in unison.

"Lao Tong and everyone know that the east is rich and the west is expensive, the south is poor and the north is chaotic, isn't the south of the city the poorest place?" said the coachman.

The poorest in the south of the city?

The master of Sun Boran, a dignified royal craftsman and examiner of the 100 Gong Examination, lives in such a place?

"The Guoxiang Alley you are going to is quite famous in the south of the city, and the name has a origin. The coachman laughed and told them a story.

At first, Guoxiang Alley was not called by this name, but was nameless like many of these dilapidated alleys.

There is a pair of neighbors living in the alley, on the left is a young couple, hardworking and willing to work, and living quite happily; on the right is an idle laid-back, every day when he hears the sound of the pot, he goes to the next door house to beg for food, the little couple is thin-skinned, embarrassed to refuse, and the result is rubbing and rubbing it has become a habit.

But the people who live in the south of the city are definitely not rich people, and the young couple's good life does not mean that they can raise another one.

What's more, this shabby family is so thick-skinned, he often begs for things for nothing, and the anger in the hearts of the young couple is getting stronger and stronger.

The young couple has been married for a long time and has no children, and the experienced wife said that it is because of the weakness of the body to make up for it.

So the two secretly bought a chicken and stewed it secretly on their backs.

The two were cautious, but the result was still an accident, and the spatula touched the edge of the pot.

The broken house followed the sound, and when I saw the old hen, I smiled happily, and I had to use my hands to fish it before it was cooked. Hou Shengzi was angry from his heart to the side of the guts, and he chopped to death with a kitchen knife, and blood was splashed all over the kitchen.

Although several people in the car vaguely guessed this development when they heard it, they were still taken aback when they actually heard it.

The most surprising was Qi Kun: "Killed? for a chicken?"

Lu Cheng's family background is also quite solid, and he also opened his mouth wide and asked, "Kill like this?"

Xu Wen asked, "What happened later?"

"Later, it was a bit of a relationship to kill people and settle in a distant house, and the son was beheaded. Poor little daughter-in-law, young Ji Ji became a widow, and I don't know what happened later. There was a pit on the road, and the coachman drove his horse around it carefully, and teased, "Little masters think it's strange to kill people for a chicken, but for people who live in the south of the city, a chicken is not a trivial matter!"

He snorted twice and stopped talking. There was silence in the car, Xu Wen was silent, Qi Kun gradually came back to his senses, looked into the distance, and said a little incredulously: "Master Sun, live in this kind of place?"

The houses in the south of the city are low and the roads are muddy, so it is not a suitable place for walking.

But closer to here, there are gradually more vehicles, all of which are heading to Guoxiang Alley.

Qi Zhengze was not in the same car as the young man, and there were constant voices from his side, obviously meeting many acquaintances.

There are so many cars in places that are not suitable for walking, and it is impossible not to get blocked.

Xu Wen's car quickly stopped, the front and back were all blocked, and they couldn't move at all.

"It was only on foot. Qi Zhengze got out of the car in front of him and came over to them.

Of course they had no opinion, and the group walked towards the pot ring alley with the box and the box, and it was blocked again when they reached the alley.

There are many people in the car, and if you can't walk the car, it doesn't mean that you can go.

Several people were hesitating about what to do now, when Xu Wen suddenly heard a rather familiar voice next to him.

He turned his head to meet the man's gaze.

It's not that enemies don't get together, Cen Xiaoyi, they met here again.
