After Chen Renjin left, Zhou Xiaoniang moved back to Zhou's house. She planned to help her mother do some work after studying, but unexpectedly, because her mother didn't have much work to do, not only did she not have much work to do, Zhou Duo and other nephews had to take turns to come over to ask An to say hello to accompany her to relieve her boredom, and Zhou Kui was even more fond of her.

Zhou Xiaoniang was relieved and reviewed her studies with peace of mind. In the afternoon of this day, Zhou Xiaoniang read for a while, and suddenly became restless.

"What's going on?" Feeling bored, she got up, but with nowhere else to go, she turned and went to her mother's house.

Her mother looked at a loss, and her father kept sighing, and when she came in, the two of them tried to put a smile on their faces, but it was worse than crying.

She was stunned for a moment and said, "Second elder, don't pretend anymore, what's the matter, let's talk about it." ”

Zhou Kui hurriedly covered up: "It's okay, it's okay, what can it be?" You just have to learn with peace of mind, in the future, our Zhou family may be able to get a female champion. As he spoke, he turned to Ding Xiaonu and looked at her with an inquiring expression.

Ding Xiaonu understood what he meant, but she still said truthfully: "What is there to hide from this?" Your father bought a batch of Chinese herbal medicines, and he wanted to make a handful, but he didn't want to be faked, not only could he not make money, but our family would have to live a day of clear soup and little water. ”

Zhou Xiaoniang was relieved and said with a smile: "That's how to do business, there are profits and losses." What's this, besides, our family has a lack of clear soup and little water? Look at the two of you, what has become of you, as if the sky is about to fall. ”

Zhou Kui saw that she was so sensible, and was about to speak, but saw Zhou Duo shouting in his mouth, "Great joy—great joy—" and rushed in.

This is really unexpected, Zhou Kui was dissatisfied, but he was still busy asking: "Happy?" Where does the joy come from, say it quickly. ”

Zhou Duo was already out of breath because he was in a hurry, and he wanted to say it in his heart, but he couldn't speak for a while, and the more he wanted to speak, the more he couldn't speak, until Zhou Kui was anxious enough, and finally said: "Master Chen explored flowers in high school, entered the Hanlin Academy, and was promoted to the emperor, do you say, is it a big joy?" ”

"Of course it's a big deal." Zhou Kui said in a trembling voice, and after speaking, lest it be true, he asked again: "How do you know?" ”

Zhou Duo said slowly: "The good news arrived this morning, and it has now spread all over the outside, saying that the Suzhou Mansion has invited all the family members of Master Chen, and will personally escort them into Beijing after congratulations." ”

Zhou Kui heard what he said in such detail, knowing that what he said must be true, "oh", sat down decadently, and said after a while: "Go and clean up, let's go and enter Beijing later." ”

Ding Xiaonu was accustomed to obedience, and although she was puzzled, she still answered the call and went to get busy.

Zhou Xiaoniang was rejoicing for Enshi High School, and when she heard his father say this, she couldn't help but wonder: "Enshi High School is indeed a great joy, but I don't know why we also want to enter Beijing?" ”

Zhou Kui said helplessly: "Silly boy, he originally recognized you as his little daughter-in-law, but now that he has entered the Hanlin Academy and been promoted to emperor, it is hard to guarantee that he will not regret it." We can't find this marriage with a lantern.

So, we have to go to Beijing. Hmph, if we climb this family business, we will really become a phoenix, and we still need to live a life of clear soup and little water? ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Duo immediately answered: "What my uncle said is very true, I must go immediately, but I can't let him regret it, I am still waiting to follow my little sister to get rid of it." ”

"Hmph, the teacher won't have such dirty thoughts as you, it's just your wishful thinking." Zhou Xiaoniang thought secretly, but she didn't dare to speak, and she didn't know how to respond, so she simply didn't speak.

Zhou Kui saw that she didn't speak, thinking that she was shy, and said to himself: "Since Xiaoniang doesn't object, it's decided like this, let's pack up today, and we will leave tomorrow." ”

When Zhou Duo heard this, he was excited to go, but he heard Zhou Kui say again: "You, don't go, you take your brothers to stay here to watch the family, I will only take your aunt and your sister to go, and when you are settled, I will come to pick you up." ”

Seeing that he had made up his mind, Zhou Duo left with great reluctance.

Zhou Xiaoniang was also reluctant, but she hadn't seen her teacher for a long time, she wanted to see her teacher, and congratulated her teacher in person, so she didn't squeak.

Besides, Zhou Kui's uncle and nephew, don't look at the fact that he doesn't even walk crookedly on weekdays, once it is profitable, he acts decisively and quickly, and he has packed his bags and headed for the capital early the next morning.

Along the way, I stayed day and night, and I didn't dare to delay a little. When he arrived in the capital, Zhou Kui couldn't even take care of the store, and inquired about the way to the Hanlin Academy. But seeing that the two men were whispering something, they hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "The two officials have always been good, and the little old man is polite." ”

The two must have thought that he had interrupted their conversation, and with a look of reluctance, one of them rolled his eyelids and asked, "Is there something wrong?" ”

Zhou Kui flattered: "Don't hide it from the two officials, the little old man is the in-laws of Chen Renjun and Lord Chen, please ask the two officials to report the meeting." ”

These two people are whining, why? I didn't think that any of the relatives of the new official had come to fight the new official (ask for funding), which made the new official unhappy, so he casually found a reason to scold these two stinkers.

Zhou Kui didn't know, and thought that he had climbed up to Chen Rending's in-laws, and these two must be respectful to themselves, maybe they would come over and kowtow, kowtow, and hurriedly turn around to report.

Just as he was complacently setting up a posture and waiting, the other disciple had already sneered: "In-laws? Hmph, I'm afraid I'm also here to fight the autumn wind for help, right? ”

Zhou Kui was about to argue, and the first disciple said sharply: "Go away, go away." ”

When Zhou Kui heard this, he thought that these two men were asking for silver, so he hurriedly took out two taels of silver from his arms and handed them over.

Seeing that he actually took out the silver, these two became more and more convinced that he was here to fight the autumn wind, and the first disciple became impatient, and pushed him with his hand, and actually pushed him to a stumbling side.

Zhou Kui leaned on Chen Renjin and said angrily: "The thief raised by the little lady, who doesn't know what to do, dares to be so unreasonable to Lao Tzu? ”

The other disciple was stunned for a moment, realizing that he was just bluffing, and said, "Lao Tzu? Who the fuck are you fucking Lao Tzu? As he spoke, he waved the stick in his hand and hit Zhou Kui.

Zhou Kui saw that he was really moving, exclaimed, "My mother", and fled, thinking as he fled: "Menzi has to be rotated every other day, if you are lucky enough to meet a kind-hearted person, maybe you will report to us." Hmph, when you recognize your in-laws, Lao Tzu will never spare these two thieves. ”

Thinking about it, Zhou Kui didn't say anything, took Ding Xiaonu and Zhou Xiaoniang to the store, waited for the door to change, and then went to ask to see him.

I never thought that the disciples knew that the two wrong people were scolded, Rao is Zhou Kui tried his best to do his best, although the two disciples who had just been rotated were not like the two who beat and scolded, but they just didn't give a report.

Zhou Kui was helpless, but he refused to give up, and after eating, he went to the vicinity of Hanlin Courtyard to wait, he firmly believed that one day there would be a disciple to inform him, or Chen Renjin went out in a hurry and happened to be bumped into by him, hmph, by that time......

Zhou Kui tried hard to imagine the scenery after seeing Chen Renjin, so as to suppress the disappointment and retreat that flooded in his heart.

However, half a year has passed in a flash, Chen Renjin has not seen him, but the silver taels brought by Zhou Kui from home have been spent.

Seeing that Zhou Kui still refused to give up, Ding Xiaonu didn't dare to speak, so she lowered her head and wept. Zhou Kui was annoyed and scolded: "It's really fucking unlucky, I might have seen you today, after your crying, it's over, it's definitely over." ”

Zhou Xiaoniang didn't want to disobey his father, but she couldn't help it, and said: "I haven't seen my teacher so far, which shows that fate has not arrived, let's go home." ”

Zhou Kui was waiting for her light, not angry at her, but he still glanced at her and asked, "Go home?" Are you really willing? ”

Zhou Xiaoniang said: "What can we do if we are unwilling, our silver is almost spent, how can we live?" ”

Zhou Kui smiled: "What's the matter?" For a good life in the future, how can you live it? Your father is skilled, don't worry, I have rented two rooms in Daxing County, and while managing our ancestral business, I am looking for Master Chen, I don't believe that I can't find him. ”

Ding Xiaonu and Zhou Xiaoniang listened to him resolutely, so they had to follow him.
