Zhou Li looked at Xiaoyu and then at Xue Yu, and laughed in his heart: "This young man doesn't know how to offend this evil god, and he still doesn't know it." Xue Yu, this kid is good, but he is a little yin, but I am afraid that he will feel better in the future. Thinking about it, he couldn't help but look at Xiaoyu sympathetically and smiled.

Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment, and glanced at Xue Yu in his heart: "Look at you, you are also a noble, why don't you learn from others." With a straight face all day long, he is as fierce as a mountain wolf in the forest, either pit this or harm that, but he still has a good heart and a flag of help. Hmph, if you look at people again, they all look so good when they smile. I looked at him and smiled slightly, and my heart really seemed to be like a flower slowly blooming, otherwise how could there be a sentence called heart blooming. When I thought about it like this, I couldn't help but sigh, sighed long, and thought in my heart, "Sure enough, people have to die more than people, and goods are thrown away." ”

Everyone was about to break up, but suddenly saw her little person, and some fleshy baby fat little face, so they frowned slightly and sighed. It was Xue Yu's guards who knew that their master would not deal with her, and they usually put on a straight face, refusing to give Xiaoyu a smile, and they couldn't help laughing at this time. Xiaoyu didn't know that everyone was laughing at herself, and when she saw that Zhou Zhen also laughed with everyone, she nodded, sighed again, and thought: "Look at people, even if you laugh, it's so good-looking." Unlike some people, whose mouths grow so big, and whose little tongues are seen, they smile as if they can't breathe. ”

As soon as she tilted her head and saw Xue Yu looking at her angrily, she couldn't help but sigh again: "This person is even more annoying, everyone is so happy, he always looks preoccupied, I don't know which one to calculate." Tell you to introduce someone, you see what you said, Second Brother Xia, Fifth Brother Xia, Brother Xu Shi, Brother Sun Shi. Did you introduce someone like that?"

Zhou Zhen couldn't hold back any longer, although he knew that Xue Yu didn't like it, he still pointed at Xiaoyu and said with a smile: "Whose child are you leading, why is it so fun." ”

Xiaoyu smiled when she heard this, her eyes rolled to look at the fifth brother, shook her head and said, "It's not too small, when my fifth brother was so old, he went to work in the yamen." ”

Zhou Zhen's eyes lit up when he heard this: "What's the matter? Fifth Brother Xia used to work in the yamen?"

The fifth brother was in a hurry, afraid that his sister would be on the same page with Xue Yu again, so he replied with a smile: "It turns out that I have been working as a clerk in the yamen for a few years, and I have worked on the main book. ”

Unexpectedly, Zhou Zhen was ecstatic and asked, "Do you know how to write the documents of the main book?"

The fifth brother breathed a sigh of relief: "I used to help the master book copy and write it from time to time." ”

Zhou Zhen clapped his hands and said: "This is really good, there is a county called Wuchang County more than two hundred miles away from here." ”

The fifth brother listened and thought secretly: "Then I am also promoted, it turns out that I am just a clerk." The main book has to be a person, although I can do the work, but I don't have this reputation after all. ”

Zhou Zhen said again: "The county officials inside are almost seventy years old, and they can't walk anymore, and the documents to tell the old man have come several times." ”

The fifth brother was completely relieved and thought secretly: "This old man is old, so he has to rely on me for everything, and I will learn from him." After all, in the future, the imperial examination will be completed, and the first pass in the official career will be the county official. ”

"That's it, you can go to office tomorrow. As he spoke, he called the little guy to come, and he didn't know what he had explained, and the little guy ran away.

Xu Siqi and Sun Haoran both opened their mouths in astonishment, and said in their hearts: "It's so easy? Fifth brother can't even lift people? We don't know how much better than him, can we also find an errand to do?"

The fifth brother was also a little flustered, looking at Zhou Zhen speechless for a long time, and hesitated to say that he was just a showman if he didn't have fame, or he would hang the name of the clerk and do the work of the master bookkeeper. The fifth brother saw the little guy running away, and he was afraid that this Zhou Zhen was in a hurry, if the little guy went to get the official document of the post, it would not be very good-looking to say it again, so he hurriedly grabbed Zhou Zhen: "I... The student hasn't made a name for himself yet, I... I didn't take the test, this ......" The fifth brother's eyes widened, and he looked at Zhou Zhen with a red face and said.

Xue Yu saw Xiaoyu pulling the corners of his mouth slightly beside him, smiling like a weasel who had just eaten a fat hen. I can't help but admire in my heart, this is really a stroke of genius. Just thinking about it, he saw Xiaoyu glance at him with bad intentions, and then he looked at Zhou Zhen and said softly: "I'm afraid it won't work immediately, our line of work came first to find a place to settle in Yanbei." I have to give a few days for Fifth Brother Rong to find a house to settle me down. ”

Zhou Zhen remembered his previous question, and couldn't help but ask: "This little brother is..."

Xiaoyu hugged his fists: "My surname is Xia, my name is Xiaoyu, and my name is Runshen, and I am ranked ninth in the family." You told me to moisten my body, this is my fifth brother. ”

Xue Yu couldn't help but slander when he heard it next to him: "You are enough of a chicken thief." You said he was your fifth brother, why didn't you say that you were his ninth sister. ”

Zhou Zhen clenched his fists and said: "Brother Runshen, you see that you are not young, your fifth brother went to the county to help when he was so old." What are you still settling down in Yanbei City, just follow your fifth brother to the county to do paperwork, so you can help him. ”

The smile on Xiaoyu's face froze suddenly, and Xue Yu hugged his arms to watch the excitement. Xiaoyu hurriedly took a few steps closer to Zhou Zhen's side: "My second brother's family has come over in the past few days, the second brother is down, my sister-in-law and nephew definitely can't do it if they don't have a house, and the fifth brother has to follow me to pick a house." But Zhou Gongzi is right, it's better to let Brother Xu and Brother Sun help my fifth brother. The famous academy in the south is called Baicao Academy, and it is Brother Xu's elders who are doing the mountain chief. Brother Sun's father was originally Fu Yin, which can be described as a family history. ”

Zhou Zhen was stunned, knowing that she was going to carry these two people, so he asked, "You have also done things in the yamen?"

Xu Liangqi and Sun Haoran naturally knew that Xiaoyu didn't really let them help the fifth brother, but they had the intention to make a relationship for them, and they were also very grateful and busy: "I have been preparing for the imperial examination all the time, but I don't have time to study in the yamen." ”

Zhou Zhen immediately lost interest, "I also have a academy here, if Brother Liangqi doesn't mind coming over tomorrow afternoon to have a look." ”

Xu Liangqi also wanted to see what the academy in the north was like, so he readily agreed.

Zhou Zhen stroked his chin and thought for a while, and was about to speak, but the little guy from earlier had already run back, and sure enough, he had a document in his hand. Zhou Zhen took a closer look, and when he saw that there was no problem, he handed it to the fifth brother: "Then I will give you three days of leave, and if there is a house after three days, you have to go to work." ”

Xiaoyu hurriedly shook his head: "Where is it enough for three days, do you have any acquaintances, and the house in Sanjin is enough." It would be better if it could be older, and my parents will be coming over in a while. ”

Zhou Zhen hesitated again when he heard this, as if there was something unspeakable.

The fifth brother flipped through the paperwork and suddenly exclaimed, "Gongzi Zhou." Seeing that everyone was looking over, he hurriedly lowered his voice and said, "This official document is written incorrectly." This is a county official, I am not even a lifter, let alone the main book, the qualifications of the county are not enough. "The fifth brother is very embarrassed.

Zhou Zhen said disapprerovingly: "Don't you know how to write official documents in the main book, the county is not big, and there are only a thousand people in it." If you are still not at ease, ask Brother Sun to come over and help you. ”

The fifth brother wanted to say more, but Zhou Zhen said: "Don't worry, I just say okay." Let's talk about the house first, I heard that a big family moved back to the south because they couldn't stand the bitter cold here, but they left a big house. It's just ......" Zhou Zhen said hesitantly: "I don't know why, since they left, this house has always been haunted." ”

The fifth brother was stunned for a moment, and he was a little hesitant in his heart, Xiaoyu hurriedly leaned over and whispered in his ear: "Brother, you have no fame, if you don't find a way to stand up, how can others obey you." I don't believe that there are ghosts in the world, and if I want to say that nine times out of ten, someone is making trouble. ”

The fifth brother was still hesitating in his heart, not that he was afraid of ghosts and gods, but that he was a relative after all, and he knew that there was no woman who didn't believe in this and was afraid of this.

Zhou Zhen saw him hesitating and said, "It's too late today, it's better like this, tomorrow I'll let the little guy take you to take a look and then think about it in the long run, how about it?"

When the fifth brother saw him say this, he dared to refute it, so he had to nod in agreement.

So everyone said goodbye to Zhou Zhen and Xue Yu.

At this time, it was a little late, and the group followed Chen Peng and hurried to the courtyard where the second brother stayed.

Xiao Yu looked behind her, thinking that this courtyard was small enough.

Chen Peng saw that the door of the courtyard was closed, so he stepped forward and slammed the door loudly. The people inside hadn't slept yet, and soon there was a sound of knocking footsteps, and as soon as the door opened, a huge head was revealed inside, with a black face with pimples, with a pair of triangular eyes with white eyes and black eyes, not to mention how terrifying it was in the moonlight.

Sun Haoran and the fifth brother stood in front, still thinking about the house that Zhou Zhen said, and secretly thinking about what Confucius said: "Respect ghosts and gods and stay away." words. Suddenly facing such a face, I was so frightened that my soul flew away, and I couldn't help screaming. If it weren't for the loud voice that scared me out, I'm afraid I'd have to shout something like "Hell!" later.

Chen Peng was also taken aback: "Lao Kuai, you are not guarding in the mountains, why did you come here?"

The one who was called Lao Kuai cried with a sad face: "Dapeng, you are back, I will not be able to hold it here, and the brothers are making trouble every day." ”

It's just that the fifth brother is well-informed, and when he saw his face huddled together, he couldn't help but tilt his head slightly.

Lao Kuai let everyone into the house: "I received the letter a few days earlier, and I hope that you and my second brother will come back day and night." ”

Chen Peng waved his hand: "Let's arrange a place to live first." Is the second brother's house cleaned up? This is the second brother's sister-in-law, Xiaoyu, let her sleep first, and then the others will arrange it slowly. ”

The old man looked at Xiaoyu, grinned and pointed inside: "It's all picked up." ”

Xiaoyu also said politely: "Brother Kuai, you are busy, I will do it myself." Then he bowed his hand to the crowd and walked away.
