Chapter 105: Eight Prefectures of Kyushu
In the final analysis, Zhou Ruocheng's family is really hospitable, although Zhou Ruocheng did not inform the family in advance, but Zhou's mother still found someone to get a decent meal, and the family sat around and ate happily.
Zhong Fabai was also a little surprised by the tradition of eating at Zhou Ruocheng's family, regardless of class, "Sure enough, it is a different family upbringing, except for a once-in-a-century genius like Lord Zhou." He said.
"Eh, the young man is really good at talking, come, have a drink." Zhou's mother holds the cup.
Zhou Ruocheng felt that this sentence didn't seem to be boasting about his feelings.
After being full of wine and food, Zhong Fabai was pulled by Zhou's mother to rub mahjong for the first time, and Zhou Ruoyuan also wanted to come up and play a few games, but was glared back by Zhou's mother, "It's not interesting to play with a guy like you." ”
Zhou's mother is very polite to everyone, but she is not polite to her son at all.
Zhou Ruocheng had no choice, walked out of the house, and then saw his father sitting in the corridor.
Yes... This is a lecture ... Of course, Zhou Ruocheng knew what his father meant by sitting here.
Father Zhou touched the new string of Bodhi in his hand, "I didn't say a word when I came back." ”
"Ahaha, it's actually not a big deal, it's just to come back and report on the work, and I'll go back tomorrow." Zhou Ruocheng said.
"I heard that you made a big move in Jiangning?" Father Zhou asked.
"Wow, you know that, too?" Zhou Ruocheng asked.
"The relationship network of businessmen is very extensive, you have rectified a chamber of commerce in Jiangning, and the next day all the chambers of commerce in Dahua have received news." Dad Zhou said.
"Hmmm... Actually, it's not a glorious thing. Zhou Ruocheng smiled bitterly.
"It's not honorable." Father Zhou looked at Zhou Ruocheng: "Because of you, this matter has also indirectly caused a lot of losses to many businesses." ”
Zhou Ruocheng looked at his father and didn't speak.
"But there's no need to feel indebted, because what you did was indeed something you accused, and the imperial court asked you to go to Jiangzhou to do this." Dad Zhou said.
"So you're going to scold me? Or praise me? Zhou Ruocheng asked.
Father Zhou looked at Zhou Ruocheng, "Stinky boy, your guts are getting fatter and fatter, and now you don't have any courtesy." ”
"It's not that I don't want to have rational numbers, it's just that I've felt disgusted after being outside for too long, and this is home 1, so I want to let go a little." Zhou Ruocheng smiled.
"No matter what time it is, etiquette is the foundation of being a person!" Dad Zhou began to talk about feature films again.
Zhou Ruocheng didn't feel irritable, this is the atmosphere that home should be, sitting next to his father, looking at his father with a smile.
"Smoke?" Zhou Ruocheng asked.
"Don't smoke now, thank you... Wait, stinky boy, when did you learn to smoke?! ”
"Eh... Didn't you find out the last time we came? ”
。。。。。。。。
Early the next morning, Zhou Ruocheng woke up from his room, although it was the bed he had slept in for so many years, but after half a year, he always felt a strange feeling.
Yawned, and walked out of the house with an overcoat, it had begun to snow last night, and had now accumulated a thick layer on the ground.
In the courtyard, a figure shuttled quickly through the snow clock that had not yet been completely set.
Zhang Qing held the sword in his hand, I don't know why he began to practice swordsmanship, although his moves are simple, but from the gesture before it also reveals a sense of beauty, with the rotation of the body and clothes, accompanied by the snowflakes in the sky, it is also a very interesting scenery.
After the last move, Zhang Qing retracted his momentum, looking at the snowflakes in the sky, with a smile on his face.
Although I know his gender, I always feel that the picture in front of me is so pleasing to the eye.
Zhou Ruocheng involuntarily whistled.
Zhang Qing also saw Zhou Ruocheng, and was immediately stunned, "Young, young master?" ”
"Yo, good morning." Zhou Ruocheng leaned against a pillar.
Zhang Qing looked at himself and quickly patted the snowflakes on his body, "You, when did you see it?" ”
"Just while you're playing with your sword." Find someone to answer with a smile.
"Uhhh Zhang Qing's face flushed, "I... I'm not... ”
"Ahhhhh Zhou Ruocheng hugged his arms and said sheepishly.
Zhang Qing seemed to have been exposed by someone else, picked up a snowball from the snowdrift on the side and threw it at Zhou Ruocheng's face.
。。。。。。
The family sat down for breakfast.
"I'm going to a meeting in a minute." Dad Zhou said.
"Hmm." Zhou Ruocheng replied.
"This is the opportunity to start the imperial court, don't be free and casual." Father Zhou admonished.
"I know." Zhou Ruocheng drank porridge.
"Eh, it's actually not a big deal, it's actually just some trivial interrogations, how did Lord Zhou first arrive, and the prosecutor won't embarrass him," said Lord Zhong, who was sitting on the side.
"By the way, how many people are you having this meeting?" Zhou's mother asked.
"Eight." Zhou Ruocheng and Zhong Fabai replied in unison.
"Huh? Isn't there a government in every continent? Why are there only eight of them? Zhou's mother asked.
"Say you're lonely, aren't you? The responsibilities of the ruling government in Jingzhou have been taken over by the royal family, so Jingzhou does not have the position of ruling the government. Father Zhou gave her a blank look.
"If that's the case, our son can be regarded as a little emperor in Jiangzhou?" Mother Zhou is really speechless.
"Mom! I'm just in a special situation, you can ask Lord Zhong about their family, the work of the ruling government is tiring. Zhou Ruocheng said with a depressed face.
"Can you say that? Looks like you're going to have to discipline and discipline well, too! Father Zhou glared at Mother Zhou and said.
"Humph!" Mother Zhou's face turned away.
After breakfast, Zhou Ruocheng and Zhong Fabai walked out of Zhou's mansion.
After walking a few steps, a Hongqi sedan stopped in front of him.
A small servant stepped out of the car and saluted them.
"May I ask you, but Lord Zhou Ruocheng and Lord Zhong Fabai?" He asked.
"Well, it's us." Zhou Ruocheng replied.
"The prosecutor has been waiting for a long time, and I would like to invite the two of you to get on the bus." The little official said.
"The prosecutor knows we're here?" Zhou Ruocheng was also stunned.
"Haha, you don't know that, do you? As soon as we take a step into Jiangzhou, our whereabouts are monitored, so we can find you at any time. Zhong Fabai said.
Zhou Ruocheng was also furious in his heart, fortunately he didn't go to Bada Hutong last night, if he got married, wouldn't it be a big deal today?
Just when Zhou Ruocheng was about to go in with Zhong Fabai, he was stopped by the little official, "I'm sorry Lord Zhou, please wait, there is still a car coming, please take another car." ”
Although Zhou Ruocheng felt inexplicable, he still waited on the side of the road.
After a while, an identical red flag car drove over, Zhou Ruocheng smiled and said something to Zhang Qing on the side, Zhang Qing jumped up and disappeared from view.
Zhou Ruocheng pulled the car door and sat up, "Deacon Wang, don't come to harm?" ”
Deacon Wang, who was sitting opposite Zhou Ruocheng, was also stunned: "My lord, do you know that I came to meet you?" ”
"I guess, I remember your car." Zhou Ruocheng said.
"Haha, Lord Zhou really has an amazing memory." Deacon Wang smiled.
"Since it was Deacon Wang who came to meet me, then there must be some new will of the emperor for me?" Zhou Ruocheng asked.
"No, the lower official just came to ask Lord Zhou how he plans to report on the situation this year?" Deacon Wang asked.
"Report it truthfully." Zhou Ruocheng replied.
"Lord Zhou is so smart, there are some things I don't need to remind, and please cover up a little bit, after all, there are some things that the less people know, the better." Deacon Wang said.
"Isn't this prosecutor the emperor's person?" Zhou Ruocheng asked.
"It can't be regarded as hostile, but the moon is definitely not a group, although Lord Zhou's official position was greeted by the emperor in advance, it doesn't mean that he must be towards the emperor." Deacon Wang said.
"Okay, I see, I didn't plan to pay attention to this kind of reporting work." Zhou Ruocheng shrugged.
"Lord Zhou is relieved, oh yes, there is one more thing." Deacon Wang took out a stack of envelopes from his bosom and said, "Lord Zhou, you have been working hard in Jiangzhou these days, and this is the emperor's reward for you." ”
"What is this? Year-end bonus? Zhou Ruocheng took the envelope and asked with a smile.
"No, it's an invitation to the imperial court's annual court banquet." Deacon Wang replied.
"This? What's the use? Zhou Ruocheng said that he was not interested in this thing at all, "It is better to send two gold bars." ”
Deacon Wang also smiled, "Lord Zhou, you will know the mystery when you go." ”
Zhou Ruocheng looked at the envelope and looked at it, the time is tomorrow, it doesn't matter, it's just a day late.
After a while, the car drove to the Forbidden City, and in front of a small door on the side, I heard several identical red flag cars.
Zhou Ruocheng got out of the car and followed the doorman into the palace.
The follower doorman walked for a while, and then he came to a small courtyard, the door in front of him was not opened, and there were a few people standing in front of the door who were in his own Yang official uniform, Zhong Fabai was also among them, and he chatted happily with several ruling governments.
Seeing Zhou Ruocheng coming, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, "Eh, Lord Zhou, here and here." ”
Zhou Ruocheng walked over with a smile, of course, there were many people looking at this side.
"Let me introduce, this is the famous Jiangzhou ruling government Zhou Ruocheng Zhou." Zhong Fabai said.
Zhou Ruocheng saluted embarrassedly, "In the next Zhou Ruocheng, I have seen two adults." ”
"Lord Zhou is polite, Zhang Bai, who is in charge of the government in Lower Jeju, is polite." A tall and thin man said.
"In the ruling government of Xiashuzhou, Wang Zhipeng, Lord Zhou is really a hero and a young man." A chubby guy in his thirties said.
"Everywhere, the people here are my seniors, and I am a nobody, so naturally I can't compare with a few seniors." Zhou Ruocheng lowered his head and said.
"Lord Zhou, you are really too modest, we have heard of your deeds for a long time, and today's one is really extraordinary, so I can't wait for it." Wang Zhipeng said.
A few people just patted each other on the back.
After a while, an official came out of the door, "Ladies and gentlemen, the prosecutor has arrived, and I would like to invite a few adults to come in and discuss the matter?" ”
Just when Zhou Ruocheng was about to go inside, suddenly the official threw out a pen to the eaves on the side, and then he heard a clang, Zhang Qing fell into the courtyard, looking at each other with a serious face.
"Whose guards, may I ask, are so unruly? Dare to spy in the Forbidden City? The official asked.
"Excuse me, it's mine." Zhou Ruocheng said.
"Lord Zhou, I read that you attended the meeting for the first time and didn't understand the rules, so we won't pursue it today, please take care of your subordinates and don't do some outrageous actions." The official said to move.
"Oh, okay, okay." Zhou Ruocheng nodded.
"So, my lords, please come inside." The official said.
Zhou Ruocheng glanced back at Zhang Qing, "You wait outside first, I'm fine." Then he went into the house.
There was also a round table around the room, and there were nine seats in total, each with its own name.
Zhou Ruocheng found his name and sat down.
Then the man who was sitting in his seat was wearing a different color mending robe spoke, "Hello adults, since we are all here, let's start the meeting." ”
Zhou Ruocheng looked at the beating face and was stunned.
