Chapter 22: The Worshippers

"Yesterday, when I met adults, I felt a familiar smell."

"Are you a dog?"

"I have always felt that Mr. and Mr. Zhou have the same temperament."

"What kind of temperament can it have?"

"I'm also thinking, why can a little-known gentleman be appreciated by the Jiangzhou ruling government?"

"Can't you understand it as sympathy? Yu Boya meets Zhongzi period? ”

"Sir, are you really not Lord Zhou?"

"I'm really not, you say that if I am really a ruling government, what am I pretending to be a poor gentleman? Do I have nothing to do? Zhou Ruocheng asked.

In a water bar near the school, Zhao Qingyuan, whose eyes were shining, and Zhou Ruocheng, who was depressed, sat down.

"But sir, you said you know Lu Yueting!" Zhao Qingyuan said.

"Who doesn't know Lu Yueting, the number one talent in Jiangzhou?" Zhou Ruocheng said, "I'll go to the street now and shout to see how many people know?" ”

"Then why are you so familiar with Lu Gongzi?" Zhao Qingyuan tilted her head.

“。。。。。。” Zhou Ruocheng thought for a while, "Na, tell you a secret for the teacher, don't tell it to others." ”

When Zhao Qingyuan heard this, she immediately leaned over and looked at Zhou Ruocheng with a serious face.

"Actually, it's a teacher. Participated in the imperial examination. Zhou Ruocheng said.

"Huh? But sir, you ... ”

"That's right, I was in Jingzhou before, and I studied under Mr. Li Yuanzhang (of course, this is blind) to repeat a year and participate in the imperial examination." Zhou Ruocheng began to make up stories, "When the emperor list was unveiled, I was actually on the same score as the fiftieth place at the time, and if I really said it, my self-report score was two points higher than him." ”

"But why, sir..." Zhao Qingyuan tilted her head.

"At that time, the fiftieth place was Lu Yueting's fellow disciple and brother, and Lu Yueting came to me at that time and gave me three hundred taels of gold and asked me to give him the quota." I'm sorry Lu Yueting, although I don't know what your character is, I can't help it.

"And sir, do you agree?" Zhao Qingyuan asked.

"What else can be done? Three hundred taels of gold! How much does it cost to exchange for a money ticket? Three million... Zhou Ruocheng lowered his voice, "People are enough to give me face, I was originally born in a poor family, and other people's families are Jiangzhou wealthy families, how can I compare with others?" I had to compromise. ”

"But sir, don't you give up your career path if you say this?" Zhao Qingyuan asked.

"Many times, it's not that you can get ahead by being an official in the imperial court, I gave up my fame, I decided to leave my hometown and come out to experience the experience, and I went to Jiangzhou without stopping, and decided to settle down here, and I don't plan to interfere in the government in this life." Zhou Ruocheng said.

"So, sir, you and Mr. Lu Yueting have already met?" Zhao Qingyuan asked.

"Of course I know him, but he doesn't necessarily recognize me, who will remember me, the fifty-first in the name of Sun Mountain? That's it~" Zhou Ruocheng shook his hand.

"Sir!" Zhao Qingyuan stood up, "The student has always felt that you are very knowledgeable, no worse than that Lu Gongzi!" ”

Zhou Ruocheng smiled and touched Zhao Qingyuan's head, "You have this heart, and you are deeply gratified to be a teacher... ”

"Uh-huh. Sir, you're here again. Zhao Qingyuan blushed.

"Okay, I'll tell you secretly, I've never told outsiders about this matter, don't tell anyone, even your father, understand?" Zhou Ruocheng admonished.

"Hmm!" Zhao Qingyuan nodded.

"Okay, I'm going back too, so you can go home quickly." Zhou Ruocheng stood up and planned to leave.

“。。。 Mr.. ”

"What's wrong again?" Zhou Ruocheng asked impatiently.

"Yes... Tell me your phone number? Zhao Qingyuan held the mobile phone and looked at herself with a pleading expression.

。。。。。。。

Public toilets near the water bar.

Zhang Qing sat on the toilet.

After a while, a man walked to the box next to him, and there was no sound of him taking off his pants.

"Brother, do you have any paper? I forgot to bring it. The man said.

"What paper do you want?" Zhang Qing asked.

"It's dry and it's best to have wet wipes."

"Sorry, I only have tissues."

The man stopped talking, and after a while said, "What happened yesterday?" Didn't you say you wouldn't participate? ”

"There were some surprises." Zhang Qing said.

"Three prefects and one ruling government, this is a good opportunity for us to give Jiangzhou officials a heavy blow."

"The time is not yet ripe!" Zhang Qing said.

“。。。。。 Not to mention this, our people are now rushing outside Jianghang City one after another, in a place called Shuiyang Village, this is the telephone, and we will contact us directly by phone in the future. "A pack of tissues stuffed under the toilet compartment." As a last resort, don't go back to headquarters, your current status is dangerous, and the organization already has an opinion about your actions that hindered the assassination plan. ”

"Understood." Zhang Qing picked up the tissue.

"Okay, thank you brother for the paper." The man walked out.

Zhang Qing looked at the package of paper in his hand, put it in his pocket, and then walked out of the toilet box.

As soon as he went out, he met Zhou Ruocheng head-on, "Yo, Zhang Qing, why are you here?" ”

"Young Master?" Zhang Qing also chuckled in his heart, "What are you doing here?" ”

"Ahh I drank too much water and needed a toilet. Zhou Ruocheng smiled. You're here to solve it too? ”

"Yes, yes." Zhang Qing smiled.

"Then wait for me, let's go back together." Zhou Ruocheng walked into the toilet.

"Young master, I'll go back by myself."

"Anyway, it's good to meet and go back together, you climb over the wall every day, aren't you tired?" Zhou Ruocheng's voice came from the toilet.

"That's it, Zhang Zhuangshi, let's go back together, the young master is not the kind of person who sees outsiders." Behind the door, Lao Wei said with a smile.

"What's so embarrassing about that...

"Zhang Zhuangshi, don't underestimate me, I may not be able to compare to you in terms of fighting, but this is about pulling a car!" Lao Wei patted his arm: "Anyway, I'm also the one who has been pulling the car for almost ten years." ”

"Eh, hey, hey, comfortable~" Zhou Ruocheng walked up from behind, "Lao Wei, do you want to solve it too?" I'm waiting for you? ”

Looking at Zhou Ruocheng, who was talking and laughing with old Wei, Zhang Qing's originally tangled eyes slowly softened, "Young master!" ”

Zhou Ruocheng and Lao Wei looked at Zhang Qing.

"Thank you young master for your kindness, let's go to the house by myself, go first." After speaking, Zhang Qing jumped up and landed on the eaves with a few taps.

The remaining two people, Zhou Ruocheng and Lao Wei, raised their heads and watched him leave.

"Zhang Zhuangshi is really strong in martial arts." Lao Wei said.

"Old Wei, it seems that your driver's license has to be tested early... Zhou Ruocheng said.

。。。。。。

After another dull week, a rare rest day, Zhou Ruocheng of course had to sleep in bed for a day before getting up.

But when he and Zhou Gong met, someone came to disturb his dream.

"Young master, young master... It's Caiwei's voice.

Zhou Ruocheng simply ignored her, Lao Tzu hadn't slept peacefully since he came to Jiangzhou Mansion! You'll never wake up someone who is pretending to be asleep!

"Ya'er, the young master is sleeping, what are you doing?"

"Ya'er told the young master to get up... Then a small creature climbed up from the edge of the bed and slowly crawled onto Zhou Ruocheng's chest. "That's how Daddy wakes up when Daddy sleeps."

The little hand caressed his face, "Young Master! Master! Get up, young master. ”

"Ya'er, the young master is sleeping soundly, it's not good to disturb the young master."

"But Daddy said that going to bed early and getting up early will make your body better."

Huh! But the cute thing can't stand it... Zhou Ruocheng gurgled from his throat.

"Sister Caiwei, the young master is awake." Ya'er said.

"Wow!" Zhou Ruocheng suddenly threw himself up from the bed.

"Ahh The girl laughed.

"Which villain dares to disturb the official's dreams?" Zhou Ruocheng grabbed Ya'er's arm and scratched Ya'er's itchy flesh.

"Haha, hahaha." Ya'er smiled.

"Young master, are you awake?" Cai Wei watched them from the side.

"I'm already underwhelmed, even on a day off, I can't sleep in." Zhou Ruocheng looked helpless.

"Cai Wei didn't mean to come to disturb the young master, a guest came this morning, and Director Tang asked me to call you." Cai Wei said.

"Got guests? What guests? Zhou Ruocheng got out of bed.

"It's a girl surnamed Zhao." Cai Wei said.

“。。。。。。” What is this chick coming to me for the big weekend? "You tell her to wait, and I'll be right there."

After changing his clothes, Zhou Ruocheng walked out of the hall and saw Zhao Qingyuan and a middle-aged man sitting there, and Tang Yunlin was talking to them on the side.

Seeing Zhou Ruocheng come in, Zhao Qingyuan first stood up, "Lord Zhou! ”

"Who is this?" Zhou Ruocheng asked.

"This is Zhao Yuanwai, today Zhao Yuanwai came to see the young master on purpose." Tang Yunlin introduced.

"Xiaomin Zhao Mingcheng, meet the ruling government." Zhao Yuanwai made a big gift.

"Oh~ It's Zhao Yuanwai, look up for a long time." Zhou Ruocheng also hurriedly stepped forward to return the salute.

"I didn't expect Lord Zhou to know Xiaomin, Xiaomin is really fortunate to have three lives." Another big gift.

No, I'm kind to you. Zhou Ruocheng thought to himself, "Where, where." ”

Zhou Ruocheng asked Zhao Yuanwai to sit down, and sat on the main chair by himself, "What are Zhao Yuanwai doing in my house today?" ”

"Haha, the little girl is ignorant, a few days ago, she actually ran behind my back to what moon Dan to participate in what poetry meeting, fortunately there is Lord Zhou to help, otherwise the little girl, this girl's family... Zhao Yuanwai immediately frowned.

"Miss Zhao was also deeply impressed by the courage of defending her husband's rights at that time, and her husband's views were slightly the same as those of the official, so the official came to the stage to speak. Zhou Ruocheng said with a smile.

"Where is it, Xiaomin's family has been a businessman for generations, our three daughters, Qingyuan is the third, she is not interested in business but likes poetry, there is no way for me to send her to the academy to study." Zhao Yuanwai said.

"It's a good thing to like poetry! In the future, he will be admitted to the court as an official. Zhou Ruocheng said.

"Huh! What if the girl's family is famous? Zhao Yuanwai disagreed.

It seems that the ideology is still more feudal.。。 Zhou Ruocheng thought to himself, and looked at Zhao Qingyuan on the side, Zhao Qingyuan also sat there helplessly.

"Lord Zhou, Xiaomin wants to ask you some questions, do you think it's convenient for you?" Zhao Yuanwai asked.

"What's your problem? But it doesn't hurt to say that. Zhou Ruocheng said.

"Lord Zhou, what do you think of the little girl?" Zhao Yuanwai asked.

"Miss Zhao read poetry and books at a young age, respected teachers, and had different views on poetry and writing, far surpassing her peers, and it was just a talented woman to say that she was a talented woman." Zhou Ruocheng said, his own student, it doesn't matter if he praises a few more words.

"Then do you like little girls?" Zhao Yuanwai asked again.

"If you think of a talented girl like Miss Zhao, there is no one who doesn't like it, right?" Zhou Ruocheng replied, feeling that something was wrong.

"May I also ask if Master Zhou has a wife?" Zhao Yuanwai asked again.

"The official doesn't have a wife yet." Zhou Ruocheng knew in his heart, this is here to climb the relationship!

"Xiaomin is brave, next year the little girl graduates, if she passes the township examination and wins the show, the little people want to give the little girl to the adult. What do you think? Zhao asked outside.

Zhao Qingyuan's eyes widened, looked at Zhou Ruocheng, and then at her father, wanting to say something, but didn't dare to say it.

Zhou Ruocheng also had a stunned expression, but the ups and downs in his heart were not big, "Is this a problem... ”

Just as Zhou Ruocheng was about to speak, Cai Wei ran in again.

"Young master, a guest is coming." Cai Wei said.

"Who?" Zhou Ruocheng is also depressed, I didn't expect to be so busy this weekend?

"The daughter of the prefect of Jiang Shao." Cai Wei replied.

"Wang Luoning?"

What is this little girl doing here?
