Chapter 42: Lian Hao
"I'm his younger brother Zhou An. Zhou An said.
"It turned out to be the second owner, you want to find the owner, unfortunately, he is not here now, or you wait for a while. "As a guy from the Zhou family's shop, he naturally knows that Zhou An is the second young master of the Zhou Mansion, he has never been to the county seat, and they haven't seen it, but Zhou An can say his name in one mouth, and the guy naturally believes in eight points, and the remaining two points will be determined when the owner comes.
"At this time, isn't my eldest brother in the store?" Zhou An looked at the weather, and now it was almost the time of Shen, that is, at four or five o'clock in the afternoon, and after another hour, Buzhuang would be closed, Zhou Dabao might not come to say, after all, the Zhou family has several shops, and he may not know where Zhou Dabao lives.
"The proprietor is not often in the store, but only patrols the store from time to time to see if there is anything wrong with the store, so in normal times, the store is usually managed by our shopkeeper. The guy explained.
"Is there any way you can contact my eldest brother. ”
"Our shopkeeper should know, I will call our shopkeeper now, and the second owner, you wait a minute. The man walked briskly towards the back hall, and in a moment an old man of sixty years old came out.
"My name is Zhou Hong, I am the shopkeeper of Zhou Ji Cloth Village, and the second owner is fortunate to come to my Zhou Ji Cloth Village, which is not an honor. The shopkeeper said.
"Okay, don't say more, I'm looking for my eldest brother now, you tell me where my eldest brother is now, I'll go to him. Zhou An said.
"This ...... This, why don't I send someone to invite the eldest young master, and he will arrive in about an hour. Zhou Hong's face hesitated and said.
Looking at Zhou Hong's hesitant look, Zhou Dabao wouldn't be doing something unseemly, but Zhou Hong couldn't say it, and he didn't ask, after all, it was Zhou Dabao's privacy.
"Then I'll wait a while, and you can send someone to inform him. ”
Zhou Hong asked the guy to find Zhou Dabao, Zhou An waited in the back hall, Zhou Hong asked people to serve some tea and pastries to entertain Zhou An and the three of them, Zhou Aiai picked up the pastries and ate them, and Zhou An also ate a few.
In the long wait, Zhou An finally waited for Zhou Dabao, but looking at Zhou Dabao's clothes now, he was very embarrassed, his body was wet, and his face was a little panicked, as if he had escaped from the water just now.
"Second brother, you wait here first, I'll finish changing my clothes, let's talk again." Zhou Dabao said a word and hurriedly walked to the back room.
After a while, Zhou Dabao changed his clothes and walked out, although his hair was still a little wet, but he didn't see the previous embarrassment. Much neater.
"Second brother, I'm sorry, the first time you came to the county seat, you saw me like this. Zhou Dabao said with an embarrassed face.
"If something happens, do you need my help? Zhou An said with concern.
"Your main thing now is to sign up for the Thousand Mountains Gang, I don't have anything to do here. "Zhou Dabao had already received the news from Zhou Dacai and knew that Zhou An had come to the Qianshan Gang to sign up.
"If there's anything to say, we're brothers. Zhou An said.
"I know you're strong, don't worry, if I'm in trouble, I'll look for you. Zhou Dabao said:
"Okay, I'll arrange a room for you now, take a rest, and after eating, you can sign up in the evening. After speaking, he sent a guy to take Zhou An and the three of them to the prepared guest room.
After rushing for more than a day, Zhou An also felt a little tired, returned to the guest room, and rested when he lay down on the bed.
I don't know how long I was lying down, there was a knock on the door outside, and Zhou Aiai's voice came: "It's time for dinner, Brother An is eating." ”
Zhou Dabao invited Zhou An and Zhou Aiai to have a hearty dinner, and after Zhou Qiang put the package he brought with him in the guest room, he went out and has not come back yet.
Zhou An guessed that he might have gone to find Xiao Qing'er.
After eating, Zhou An and Zhou Aiai went to the registration office of the Qianshan faction to sign up. Zhou Dabao inquired, and the place to sign up was at the foot of the Qianshan faction, and the Qianshan faction was on a low hill in the east of the city.
Zhou An and Zhou Aiai walked out of Buzhuang, and they walked towards the Qianshan faction while enjoying the night view.
To be honest, the night view is really good, although there are no electric lights and neon lights in the previous life, but there are red lanterns hanging all over the place, and there are people setting off fireworks every day, and there are even many small traders and vendors selling things, all kinds of shouting, and greeting pedestrians.
Zhou Aiai was very excited to see it, she had never seen such a beautiful scenery, and she bought a lot of delicious food, watching the night scene while eating.
When she arrived at the foot of the Thousand Mountains Gang, she bought a big bag of food, which was not all she bought, and she still had some of it in her stomach.
The whole is a foodie.
When he came to the registration office of the Qianshan Gang, Zhou An was dumbfounded, there was a long queue, there were about two hundred people, and this was going to make him wait until long.
"Childe, do you need to queue on your behalf, we are not expensive, we only need three taels of silver, and we will help you queue up for free. A gangster-looking man walked up to Zhou An's side and whispered.
Zhou An's suddenly darkened, there were scalpers here, but he didn't have much disgust, he was very happy, and finally didn't have to queue up, so he immediately asked him to line up, but the scalpers didn't go in person, but sent two people to line up.
When it's their turn, they will find Zhou An and Zhou Aiai and ask them to sign up.
Taking advantage of this time, the two went to a tavern next to them to eat wine, but unfortunately the snacks that Zhou Ai loves to eat, the stomach is big, and she really can't eat anything, so she can only watch Zhou An drink wine, she also wants to drink, she really wants to drink, but now she can only watch.
Looking at the pedestrians outside, the stream was endless, Zhou An really didn't expect that there were so many people at night in ancient times, he remembered that in his previous life, it seemed that there was a curfew at night in ancient times, but there was no here, but it was very lively.
Zhou An planned to see if Xiao Qing'er had come to sign up, but he didn't see her, and he was very disappointed.
"This boy, now that the guests are full, can you let this scholar sit here too, he said that after he sat down, he would pay for a treat. The tavern's junior said to Zhou An.
Behind Xiao Er was a young scholar, dressed in a cyan robe and carrying a book basket on his back, who did not look like a rich man.
"No, if he wants to sit down, sit down, he eats his, I eat mine. Zhou An said.
"Thank you, son. The scholar saluted Zhou An, sat on the bench opposite Zhou An, and took down the book basket behind him at the same time.
After he sat down, he ordered some food from Xiao Er, and said to Zhou An: "In Xia Lian Hao, I don't know what the name of the son is." ”
"My name is Zhou An. Zhou An said lightly.
"You are the prodigy of Zhoujiazhuang. Lian Hao said hesitantly.
Zhou An was stunned for a moment, he didn't think that Lian Hao had heard of his name, and then looked at Lian Hao's expression, and he understood why he hesitated, and said: "I'm fourteen years old now, I'm more mature, like seventeen or eighteen years old, don't be surprised." ”
"It's no wonder, I've heard of Brother Zhou's name for a long time, I was admitted to Tongsheng when I was ten years old, I was admitted to Xiucai at the age of twelve, and now I am already a famous talent at the age of fourteen, and I am now twenty and six, and I have only been admitted to Xiucai, compared with you, I am too far away. Lian Hao waved his hand and said.
"I heard that on the day of the second dragon raising its head in February next year, there will be a meeting to raise people, will you participate in it then? Zhou An thought of next year's exam and asked.
"Of course, I came to Jian'an Academy to study this year for next year's entrance examination. Lian Hao said.
"Are you a student of Jian'an Academy?" Jian'an Academy is the most famous academy in the county, they recruit some knowledgeable talents, and they don't recruit some mediocre people at all, since Lian Hao was recruited, he still has some talents, at least better than himself.
"I only received a notice a few days ago that I was recruited into Jian'an Academy, so I came in a hurry. ”
"It just so happens that Brother An has also been recruited into Jian'an Academy, and you will be residents in the future, so you will have to help each other then. Zhou Aiai interjected.
"Who is she?" Lian Hao looked at Zhou Aiai and asked.
"She is my friend, named Zhou Aiai. Zhou An introduced.
"Hello. Lian Hao said with a smile.
"Uncle, you're okay. Zhou Aiai said with a toothy smile.
I'm not married yet, so I'm an uncle, and just as I was trying to figure it out, his food came up.
