Chapter 17: Parade through the streets

Zhou Fang and Zhou Zheng came to Zhou Qingli's study.

Zhou Qingli looked tired, was drinking tea, watching the two of them come over, his eyes were on Zhou Zheng, he looked at it for a while, and said, "Not sick?" ”

Zhou Zheng nodded and said, "I've been sober." ”

Zhou Fang frowned tightly and said: "Dad, in the future, I will lock the second brother at home, I will make trouble every day, I will run home every day, and I don't know how many ...... the affairs of the Guozijian have fallen."

Zhou Qingli ignored Zhou Fang, looked at Zhou Zheng with a calm face, and said, "Why?" ”

Zhou Zheng thought about it and explained in a tactful way: "Gu Bingqian is not tolerated by Donglin, Qingliu, and the eunuch party, and he is destined to not come back, so it's good to invite him to clear his name." ”

Tianqi will die next year, Chongzhen will succeed next year, the eunuch party will collapse next year, Donglin, and Qingliu will rise next year...... Who believes it?

Zhou Fang was angry when he heard it, and he couldn't help but want to teach him a lesson.

Zhou Qingli nodded, and said, "Well, now that the eunuchs are attacking Gu Bingqian, Qingliu is also taking advantage of the situation, Gu Bingqian just wants to escape from the capital at this time, and there will be no more trouble, you don't have to worry." However, considering that the pool is a gentleman who does not know the height of the sky, you still have to be careful. ”

Zhou Zheng was surprised by Daddy Zhou's attitude, looked at him seriously for a while, and said, "Hmm." ”

Zhou Fang looked inexplicable on the side, turned to Zhou Qingli, and said, "Dad, this matter is over?" ”

Zhou Zheng is fighting Gu Bingqian's grandson, Gu Bingqian has been in the officialdom for decades, and he is both a cabinet minister and a first assistant, if he wants to deal with their small Zhou family, isn't it easy?

The Zhou family is about to be in a catastrophe, so it's gone in a few words?

Zhou Qingli turned her head to Zhou Fang, did not answer, but said, "Your matter is almost over, go to Haiyang County, Shandong Province to be the magistrate, and take office on October 21." ”

Zhou Fang was stunned and said, "Didn't you say that you went to the household department before?" ”

Zhou Qingli picked up the teacup and said lightly: "There is no suitable position." ”

Although Zhou Fang was puzzled, he thought for a while and said, "It's okay." ”

In Zhou Fang's view, you can go anywhere, the key is to jump out of the Guozijian, really enter the office, and start the officialdom.

Zhou Zheng listened on the side, looking at Father Zhou's expression, and his heart was a little abrupt. His eldest brother is too pure in nature, so straight and disgusted, in a place like the capital, where there is a complicated and fierce fight, sooner or later something will happen, it is better to go to a place to avoid it and hone it.

After Zhou Qingli finished talking about Zhou Fang, she looked at Zhou Zhengdao and said: "Your business is also a little eyebrow-raising, I will be walking around again, you will wait for a few days." ”

Zhou Zheng has a lot of things not ready yet, and he doesn't plan to join the government at this time, Zhou Qingli's arrangements are nothing more than a temporary position, adding some qualifications, and there is no need for people to go to the ministry at all.

Eating empty wages is also an unspoken rule at this time.

Yes, Zhou Zheng said indifferently, "Okay, I'm not in a hurry." ”

Zhou Qingli looked at Zhou Zheng, as if she was still a little uneasy, and said, "Zhong Qinyong sent 800 acres of fertile land to Gu Bingqian, which has been thrown into his door, I heard that he may be transferred to Taifu Temple, you should be careful in the future." ”

Zhou Zheng had already guessed that the Zhong family had taken refuge in Gu Bingqian, so he hummed and said, "I know." ”

Zhou Qing glanced at the two brothers again, his face was tired, and he said, "If there's nothing to do, let's go." ”

Zhou Fang wanted to speak and stopped, looking at Zhou Qingli's tired expression, he hesitated and didn't speak.

Zhou Zheng walked faster and went straight back to the study, not letting Zhou Fang catch him.

Zhou Zheng returned to the study and took out his drawings, all about his shop. He watched it seriously, constantly making fine-tuning.

Zhou Zheng revised for a while, and then went to Wei Huaide's room to check the progress.

After dinner, Zhou Zheng continued to read and read books, practice calligraphy, and also take care of reading some piano, chess, calligraphy and painting and other things.

……

Early the next morning, Zhou Zheng took Liu Liuzhen and seven family members out to his shop.

I didn't notice it a few times before, but this time Zhou Zheng felt tired and said, "Liuzhi, is there a carriage at home?" ”

Liu Liuzhen followed Zhou Zheng with a tool and said, "No, if you use it, the master will let Fu Bo rent it from outside." ”

Zhou Zheng felt the soreness in his legs and said, "When I make money, remind me to buy one, no, buy three." ”

Liu Liuzhen looked up at Zhou Zheng and reminded, "Second young master, the carriage is not expensive, but it is very troublesome to raise, and the cost is also large, and it is not as good as a sedan chair." ”

Zhou Zheng thought about it carefully, raising a horse is worth several families, endured the soreness of his legs, and said, "Well, I have to make money." ”

Liu Liuzhen didn't care about this, and kept looking around vigilantly. The same is true of the seven family members, as if they were thieves, observing everyone around them.

Zhou Zheng swept his eyes and asked strangely, "What are you doing?" ”

Liu Liuzhen glanced not far away, and said in a low voice: "Second young master, I'm afraid that the person surnamed Gu and the person surnamed Zhong will lead someone to block us." ”

Zhou Zheng reached out and took a bag on his shoulder, and educated: "First of all, you have to distinguish your positioning, we are good people, and they are bad people." It is only natural for good people to beat bad people; Bad guys fight good guys, and heaven doesn't tolerate it; Especially when the bad guys are still strong, we are even more fearless and fearless. ”

Liu Liuzhen blinked, what kind of truth is this, I can't understand it at all.

Zhou Zheng looked at him with a puzzled face, and said: "I'm afraid that they won't come, if they come, we will establish an image of a strong and unyielding rebel, which is our developed capital in the future...... It's like those adults in the court, who are proud of being beaten by the court staff, etc., and are scrambling to be beaten, why? Because it is fame, as soon as it is beaten, it is praised at home and abroad, and it soars to the sky. It won't be long before that's the capital for their promotion......"

Liu Liuzhen was even more puzzled, and said in a low voice, "However, it is Gu Shoufu who we offended, and it is the eunuch party......"

Zhou Zheng didn't bother to explain so much this time, and said, "For a while." Let's go, decorate the house today, and have things to do tomorrow. ”

Liu Liuzhen was completely puzzled by Zhou Zheng's behavior and work, and just begged for peace today, not to make any more trouble, and cautiously followed behind Zhou Zheng and walked towards the shop.

A group of people came to the shop in a mighty way, this time they were not splashed with dung, nor were they burned, and they were completely clean.

Zhou Zheng waited for the shop to enter the shop, put down the things, Zhou Zheng took a look, took out the drawings, and said, "Come, let me talk about how to decorate first." First, the house on the left was smashed and a path was paved, and then the wall inside was opened. The walls were all scraped and redecorated with a color that I personally chose. The floor should be paved with green tiles, the outer wall of the wall should be reinstalled, the roof beams should be blocked with partitions, the lights should be hung, the paint should be painted, and four pillars should be erected outside the wall, which should be high, and the banners should be on all sides, so that they can be seen from a distance, and I will write the content......"

Liu Liuzhen and seven family members surrounded Zhou Zheng and listened carefully.

Zhou Zheng has a lot of ideas for the decoration of this shop, and there are a lot of special things.

As he spoke, all of a sudden, a gong sounded, becoming clearer and clearer.

Zhou Zheng and the others turned their heads to look, and two teams of horsemen accompanied a middle-aged man in shackles appeared on the corner of the street, turned a corner, and walked straight towards them.

It was the first time Zhou Zheng had seen prisoners parade through the streets, but they were at the end of the street, what were they doing here?
