According to Kou Peihan's father Kou Dagang, if Zhou Zhi was admitted to Xiucai this year, he would agree to the marriage of Kou Peihan and Zhou Zhi. Now that Zhou Zhi is the county test and the government test have been successful, and they have all passed the case, they are only one step away from Xiucai, so it seems that there will be basically no accidents in the marriage of Kou Peihan and Zhou Zhi.

Because anyone knows the reputation and talent of the head of the double case of the county test, it is almost a sure thing to show talent in the Dao test.

In this way, Kou Tong seems to be Zhou Zhi's quasi-uncle. How dare Zhou Zhi slack off on Kou Tong's arrival, hurriedly greeted the door, smiled all over his face, and said with his fists clenched, "Zhou Zhi has seen a hundred households. ”

Although he is a quasi-uncle, after all, he has not had the slightest relationship now, so Zhou Zhi can only call Kou Tong like this.

Kou Tong didn't care, his face was full of spring breeze, and said, "You have taken the county test and the government test for the double case, which is really respectable, hehe!" It seems that you and I don't have to be so polite. ”

Zhou Zhi smiled humbly, and welcomed Kou Tong and the white-haired and silver-bearded old man into the house. The four sergeants they had brought with them stood in the courtyard and did not follow Kou Tong and the old man into the house.

While the three of them slowly entered the house, Kou Tong introduced the old man beside him to Zhou Zhi. The old man's name is Kou Zhong, he is the old housekeeper of the Kou family, he has been in the Kou family for more than 30 years, and the Kou family treats him as a relative and an elder, so although he is a subordinate in the Kou family, he has a high status.

This made Zhou Zhi even more wondering, Kou Tong brought the noble housekeeper of the Kou family, and the two of them suddenly came to the Zhou family, what was the matter?

Do you want to tell yourself that your marriage with Kou Peihan has failed? Then Kou Dagang repented? Even if he was admitted to Xiucai, he wouldn't marry his baby daughter Kou Peihan to himself?

No way? Kou Dagang is a thousand households with five products, and his words should be counted.

Besides, he repented, according to Kou Peihan's thoughts, she had long regarded herself as her future husband, and she would not marry herself. And that day, I saw that Kou Dagang was very fond of Kou Peihan, and sometimes Kou Dagang really couldn't control Kou Peihan.

Since I'm not here to tell myself that the marriage has failed, then for what?

Because he loves Kou Peihan to the extreme, Zhou Zhi has to think crankily about the sudden arrival of the Kou family.

Although the Zhou family has spent more than a year, with Zhou Zhi's various efforts, life has been much better, and it seems to be the second richest family in Baiyue Village besides the Yue family. But the Zhou family has always been very low-key, and it is still the original four low-rise adobe houses. Although the house is clean and tidy, and all kinds of items are placed in an orderly manner, it is still dark and damp after all.

Zhou Zhi peeked at Kou Tong's face, and saw Kou Tong frowning from time to time, obviously a little surprised by the Zhou family's family background.

He knew that the Zhou family was poor, but he didn't expect it to be so dilapidated and poor in front of him.

It's no wonder, the Kou family in Tang County is a big family, their family has a big business, Kou Tong has lived in a life of abundant food and clothing since he was a child, and he has practiced martial arts since he was a child, and when he grew up, he relied on the relationship of his father Kou Dagang to become a hundred households, and he almost never saw the life of ordinary poor people.

Zhou Zhi immediately laughed at himself, "Zhou Zhi's family is poor, which makes hundreds of adults laugh." ”

Before Kou Dagang could speak, the old man Kou Zhong preemptively said, "It's okay, although Zhou Zhizhou was born in a poor family, he did not fall into the ambition of studying. In such a poor family, you have passed the exam for two cases, which is even more extraordinary and admirable! ”

Kou Zhong spoke in a deep voice, a little old, but his words were extraordinarily decent, and very measured.

Zhou Zhi glanced at Kou Zhong slightly, but saw that Kou Zhong had a solemn face, obviously being very serious. Although Kou Zhong said that he was in front of his own young master, he was not a little humble, on the contrary, Kou Tong had to look at Kou Zhong's face from time to time, and he was a little cautious.

Zhou Zhi asked them to sit down in the back room, and his mother, Zhou He, had already made tea, and after saluting Kou Zhong and Kou Tong, he quietly retreated.

Zhou He's mother-in-law is just an ordinary peasant woman, but she is very polite and knowledgeable. Zhou Zhi is now studying hard and hardly asks about family matters. In fact, the big and small affairs in the family are completely arranged by the mother-in-law Zhou He. She is now the head of the Zhou family.

Zhou Zhi often thinks that a woman like his mother, Zhou He, is actually very great. Although she is just an ordinary woman, she can be poor and rich.

As for his father Zhou Tie, because he lacks scheming, he is honest and loyal, but he has to listen to his mother's words.

Yes, although the Zhou family is still very simple now, after all, the family business is not small, with his ability, how can he be in charge of the family?

Kou Zhong took a sip of tea gently, his mouth was sweet, fragrant and refreshing, and he couldn't help but be surprised. sighed secretly, good tea, how did this poor Zhou family have such good tea?

Zhou Zhi observed his words and smiled slightly, "Steward Kou, this tea is a gift from a friend of mine, and it is called Yashan Tea." ”

"Oh, I wonder who your friend is?" Kou Zhong asked seemingly nonchalantly.

"Lu Xingchuan of Shulu Village, Lu Xingchuan's uncle is the Hou family of Xin County." Zhou Zhidao.

The Hou family of Xinxian County is a big family, and it is quite famous in Baoding Mansion, and Hou Zan is an official in Beijing at this time, and his power is not small.

Although Kou Zhong is just a housekeeper, he has a lot of knowledge, and he naturally knows about the Hou family in Xinxian County. At this time, Kou Zhong was a little impressed by Zhou Zhi because Zhou Zhi had such a friend as Lu Xingchuan, and Lu Xingchuan had such a relative as the Hou family in Xinxian County.

If he first came to Zhou's house, he was quite dissatisfied with Zhou's family's family background, but Zhou Zhi passed the county examination and the government examination, not to mention that Zhou Zhi had made such a great friend, he had a general understanding of Zhou Zhi.

Zhou Zhi is by no means a dead nerd from a poor family, but a person who is good at making friends and has great ambitions.

People are not afraid of poverty, but they are afraid of lack of fighting spirit.

The so-called 30 years in the east of the river and 30 years in the west of the river. Although the Zhou family is poor today, the Zhou family may undergo many changes in the future because of Zhou.

Especially when he heard the sound of laughter in the backyard in the house, Kou Zhong was even more stunned. In fact, he had noticed the workshop in the backyard long before he entered the house. This week's family is different from other poor families, they should be in the stage of gradual rise at this time.

Thinking like this, Kou Zhong's face slowly relaxed, and he asked casually, "I don't know what you're doing in your backyard?" ”

Zhou Zhi answered truthfully that it was a small workshop such as making vermicelli fans.

It was only at this time that Kou Zhong knew that the vermicelli fans on the market were made by the Zhou family. Then he asked in detail what the Zhou family had done over the years, and Zhou Zhi also answered truthfully. Especially in the past two years, the Zhou family planted vegetable greenhouses, and then built a workshop in great detail.

If there is a question, there will be an answer.

However, Zhou Zhi also became more and more puzzled, this Kou Zhong asked in such detail, what was he going to do?
