Zhou Zheng didn't know how much chaos his small plan had caused, so he got up early in the morning to read and practice writing.

Liu Liuzhen was running around outside, and it wasn't until noon when he delivered food to Zhou Zheng that he said with a smile in the crack of the door: "Second young master, your method is really good, I heard that the master was invited to eat and drink by the adults of the Ministry of Industry, and he won't come back at noon." ”

There are hundreds of people in the six departments, and there are also sixty or seventy people who are qualified to make up for the matter, and how many are qualified to be invited to drink by the adults above?

This shows that Zhou Qingli's crisis has passed, and maybe he can take advantage of it to go further.

Zhou Zheng also smiled with satisfaction, looked at the door locked by the chain, only opened a little crack, and said in a flat tone: "Liuzhen, if you don't go to the chain and open the door, your silver will be gone this month." ”

Liu Liuzhen looked at Zhou Zheng's serious face, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Second Young Master, if you promise not to go out, I will open it." ”

He was really scared, if Zhou Zheng went out again and beat someone again, what would he do?

Zhou Zheng smiled and said, "You don't know about Xiaocui yet." ”

Liu Liuzhe's face changed greatly, he quickly took out the key, removed the rope, opened the door, and walked over with a smile on his face: "Second young master, it turns out that you still remember." ”

Zhou Zheng turned around and walked towards the table with his meal, he naturally wouldn't say anything about seeing this guy and that Xiaocui secretly having a tryst not far from the door last night.

The Zhou family has a strict family style, if Liu Liuzhen and the maid 'fornication' are known by Zhou Qingli, they will have to be beaten and sold separately.

For Liu Liuzhe, it was a bolt from the blue.

Liu Liuzhen stood next to Zhou Zheng, poured him tea diligently, and said flatteringly: "Second young master, what do you want to eat, even if you are instructed, there is no one in the kitchen, I will buy you ...... outside."

Zhou Zheng snorted lightly and ate slowly.

Zhou Zheng was still quite satisfied with today's meal, praised a few words, and suddenly said, "By the way, didn't I win the lift?" After the promotion, is it possible to become an official? ”

Liu Liuzhen was stunned for a moment and explained: "It stands to reason that it is okay, it is generally a county order in remote places, but if you don't get into the jinshi, you can't be a big official." ”

Zhou Zheng said 'um' and ate seriously.

Now he can't even hold the calligraphy steadily, and he can't even dream of being admitted to the Jinshi.

After eating, Zhou Zheng sat down on a chair in the study, holding a teacup, putting his feet on the table, and whispering to himself, "It seems that I have to think of other ways." ”

In this era, being an official is almost the only way to get ahead and display your ambitions. Now that he is a lifter and has a basic foundation, he must plan his next path well.

It is definitely not possible to go to a remote place to be a county order, and it can only be transferred back to Beijing in the Year of the Monkey? Coupled with academic restrictions, development is seriously restricted.

"Where to start? In this era, if you want to do something, you have to have the right to have money, and the right is estimated to be enough for a while and a half, and if you have money, you have to have a start-up capital...... The Zhou family doesn't seem to be rich......"

Just when Zhou Zheng was muttering, the eldest brother Zhou Fang suddenly pushed the door angrily, strode straight towards Zhou Zheng, and without waiting to get closer, he said angrily: "Let me ask you, what did you do?" ”

Zhou Zheng was stunned, looked at the angry Zhou Fang, and said, "What's wrong?" ”

Liu Liuzhen then rushed in and hurriedly explained: "The eldest young master, the second young master hasn't gone out since he came back yesterday, and he hasn't seen outsiders. ”

Zhou Fang snorted coldly, his eyes were like fire, and he said angrily: "Haven't seen outsiders? Then why are you being promoted as a person, or is it personally sponsored by the heavenly official! ”

Zhou Zheng was stunned, Zhou Fang's words were a bit informative, and he didn't react for a while.

Was he sponsored by someone to give the matter? Who is the Heavenly Official? Judging from Zhou Fang's words, this person's sponsorship will definitely be successful, not an ordinary person?

Although Zhou Zheng has read a lot of books, he lacks understanding of many current situations, and some basic common sense has not yet been figured out.

Yes, he had no way to answer Zhou Fang's words.

But in Zhou Fang's eyes, Zhou Zheng was cross-legged on the table, holding the teacup, and looking away, clearly despising him as a big brother!

Suddenly angry, the first Buddha ascended to heaven, the second Buddha was born, and Zhou Zheng couldn't help it, Zhou Fang flicked his sleeves and said angrily: "Hmph, wait for my father to come back, see how you explain!" ”

As soon as Zhou Fang left, Zhou Zheng put down his legs and sat up, looking for books in the bookcase, and said, "Liuzhi, close the door." ”

Liu Liuzhen was very worried about Zhou Zheng, so he quickly closed the door, and then ran to Zhou Zheng's desk again, looking at Zhou Zheng who was walking back and forth in the bookcase.

After a while, Zhou Zheng found a few books, flipped them in front of the desk, and at the same time opened his mouth to ask, "Who is Tianguan?" ”

Liu Liuzhen paused and said, "It's Zhou Tianguan, the secretary of the ministry." ”

Zhou Zheng was looking for the relevant information of the imperial examination at this time, and when he heard this, he raised his head violently and said, "The secretary is still in the book? Zhou Yingqiu? ”

Liu Liuzhen said: "Yes." By the way, it is said that he is still the main family in our five suits. ”

Zhou Zheng's eyebrows jumped unconsciously, and he said carefully: "Our family and his family, there is nothing to move, right?" ”

Liu Liuzhen nodded and said, "Well, the master and Zhou Tianguan don't move around, probably because their branch is in Nanjing, which is a little far away from the Jiangxi clan." ”

Zhou Zhengda breathed a sigh of relief, if their family had a close relationship with Zhou Yingqiu, the leader of the 'Ten Dogs' of the Eunuch Party, they would really be unlucky next year.

But soon, he thought of more.

Zhou Yingqiu, a dignified official, why did he recommend him as a small lifter, and a 'crazy' person?

In order to win over or hit Daddy Zhou, it doesn't make sense? Father Zhou is just a small thing, seven small officials, six departments have hundreds, and there are many people in the government and the opposition, such as crossing the river.

Zhou Zheng couldn't figure it out, and planned to ask Daddy Zhou at night, but the book in his hand flipped through quickly, and finally found what he wanted, only a short sentence.

'The people are in the jinshi, the upper period is Hanlin, the second period is to give things, the second period is the imperial history, and the second period is in charge'.

That is to say, if you are a jinshi, you will enter Hanlin with excellence, and you will enter the six departments to give you the next time, and you will go to the Governor's Yuan again to do the imperial history, and you will go to the six departments again to do miscellaneous work.

Zhou Zheng just won the promotion, and he gave it to the middle of the matter, which is a bit large, and it is normally completely impossible.

Zhou Zheng looked at this sentence and said to himself thoughtfully: "Daddy Zhou is not worthy of Zhou Yingqiu's wooing, and I am even more impossible, because of what I said in the teahouse?" Or is it because Zhou Yingqiu suddenly found out that we are our family? ”

Zhou Zheng's voice was very low, and Liu Liuzhen couldn't hear it, just looked at him with wide eyes.

Zhou Zheng couldn't think it through, shook his head and said: "No matter what, I must not go, I will be unlucky if I touch him......"

Zhou Zheng remembers very well that after Chongzhen ascends to the throne, he will 'set the rebellion', and Zhou Yingqiu is a family raider!

Liu Liuzhen said: "The young master is right, the master said, don't say that we have a Ming Dynasty, and there is no eunuch in the past dynasties for a long time, sooner or later the emperor will wake up, cleanse the world, and eradicate the eunuchs." ”

Zhou Zheng glanced at his mouth, too lazy to educate him, waved his hand and said, "I'm reading, you go, the master will come back and tell me." ”

As long as Zhou Zheng didn't go out to beat people, Liu Liuzhen was relieved, hurriedly responded, turned around and went out, quietly closed the door, and inserted the lock sheath.
