In the afterglow of the setting sun, the father and son returned home.

As soon as he arrived home, Jiang Bin, the personal guard of Chen Guangyao, the county magistrate, came to Zhou's house with two county officials, as well as Lu Xingchuan, the group leader, and Wang Qi, the head of the group.

In the makeshift shack, Zhou Zhi entertained Jiang Bin very warmly. Jiang Bin said to Zhou Zhi with a smile, "Brother Zhou Zhixian, you are really amazing. This time the Taoist test was the first in high school, and the magistrate was very happy. Lord Zhixian is really interesting to you, no, let Brother Wei personally send you a square scarf and a Confucian shirt. ”

The symbol of Xiucai is wearing a square scarf and a Confucian shirt. Zhou Zhi was admitted to Xiucai, and he had to hurry up to customize these lines. I just came back today, and I was in a hurry, so I originally planned to go to Gaochang Town tomorrow to find a tailor to make it.

I didn't expect the county teacher to love him so much and think so thoughtfully for himself, and Zhou Zhi was moved for a while.

Jiang Bin then said, "Brother Zhou Zhixian has passed the Xiucai examination, and your family will be exempted from forced labor from today onwards." ”

There are a total of four people in the Zhou family, Zhou Zhi is a showman, and the younger brother Zhou Shaocheng is still young, so the conscription is naturally served by his father Zhou Tie. This exempts one person from forced labor, which means that Daddy Zhou Tie does not have to serve forced labor in the future, so that the Zhou family will no longer serve forced labor from now on.

After Jiang Bin finished speaking, Lu Xingchuan said again, "Brother Zhou Zhixian has passed the Xiucai examination, and your family naturally doesn't have to raise official horses on behalf of you. ”

The so-called one person attains the Tao, and the chicken and dog ascend to heaven.

Zhou Zhi has not yet obtained the "Tao", but he has just passed the examination, and this benefit will come one after another. It shows that Daming attaches great importance to readers.

The group of head Wang Qi was already flattering at this time, and he smiled at Zhou Zhi, not knowing what to say. He was secretly glad that he had a falling out with the Zhou family at the beginning, and the group leader Lu Xingchuan came forward, so that although he was wronged at that time, he did not completely offend Zhou Zhi after all.

Besides, I also lost my foresight, did not hold a grudge against Zhou Zhi, and flattered Zhou Zhi very well with current affairs. Now although he is not a fart in Zhou Zhi's eyes, at least Zhou Zhi is not bad at himself.

Wang Qi bent down and bowed his head, like a pug, and said, "Young Master Zhou Zhi, this official and horse will be taken away today, hehe!" Young Master Zhou Zhi, you are an adult, there are a large number of people, the small ones have already been seen, Young Master Zhou Zhi, you are not an ordinary person, today is really let the little ones talk.

If there is anything wrong with the little one in the future, I have to bother the young master to teach me more! Hehe! Speaking of which, I like to listen to your teachings young master, if the young master scolds me a few words, or even hits me twice, the little one will be more comfortable and more useful. ”

Speaking of which, Wang Qi is usually very good at talking, but today's words are really flattering and incoherent.

No way, he really doesn't know how to curry favor now. But he also knows that if he pleases Zhou Zhi, his position will be more stable in the future, or he may have a future.

Although what he said just now didn't make sense, Lu Xingchuan smiled and said, "Wang Qi, speaking of which, your kid is really touched by Zhou Zhixian's brother." You have to keep in mind the teachings that Brother Zhou Zhixian taught you.

Now I see that you really understand some truths, and you have a high level of eyebrows, and you can do something. I have already agreed with Lord Ouyang, the chief bookkeeper of the county government, that I will not be the head of the group from now on, and the position of the head of this group, I suggest to the master that you Wang Qi will take the position. ”

Lu Xingchuan said it very casually, but his words turned the river and sea in Wang Qi's heart, which shocked him, and his heart trembled with excitement for a while.

Wang Qi quickly came back to his senses, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to Lu Xingchuan to thank him. He kowtowed to Lu Xingchuan, and then kowtowed to Zhou Zhi. He never thought that today, just with Lu Xingchuan coming to Zhou's house to lead the horse, he would have such a good thing.

You must know that there is a big gap between the status of the group leader and the group leader. This Wang Qi was promoted to the head of the group all of a sudden, and his family's life will naturally be much better soon, and he will also have contacts with the petty officials in the county government.

Zhou Zhi hurriedly picked Wang Qi up.

Wang Qi then went to the backyard and led the barley horse out.

Speaking of which, the Zhou family has been raising this barley horse for almost two years, and at the beginning, most of them were taken care of by Zhou Zhi. Zhou Zhi really had some feelings for it, and gently touched the horse's head for a long time, which allowed Wang Qi to take it away.

Jiang Bin and Lü Xingchuan then also bid farewell to Zhou, Lü Xingchuan went home directly, and Jiang Bin returned to the county government to resume his life.

Zhou Zhi originally wanted to entertain the two of them, but the Zhou family was demolishing the house at this time, and it was a mess, so he had to give up.

Although the family is in chaos now, his mother Zhou He and sister Zhou Luyun still prepare a sumptuous dinner.

The family sat around the table, the food was very sweet, and the family who loved each other was happy.

Just after dinner, my sister Zhou Luyun was busy cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, and my mother-in-law Zhou He said solemnly to Zhou Zhi, "Xiao Zhi has never remembered that you went to the Kou family in Tang County to give a small appointment gift, and the Kou family said very clearly, after you pass the exam, you will go to the Kou family to make a big appointment ceremony, and choose a day to marry Miss Kou and enter the door!" ”

Such a thing, where will Zhou Zhi forget?

Since he was hit by the case, Kou Peihan's beautiful figure has always appeared in Zhou Zhi's mind. He secretly thought that he could finally marry Kou Peihan's little girl and enter the door.

That little girl is rude and domineering, but she is also very polite, what an exciting thing it is to marry her as soon as possible.

Although I thought so in my heart, I didn't reveal it at all. At this time, hearing his mother-in-law Zhou He mention it, Zhou Zhi's heart was excited, and his face was a little red all of a sudden.

Zhou He's mother-in-law guessed Zhou Zhi's thoughts at a glance, and said with a smile, "Hehe, good!" Xiao Zhi Dao won the first test of the case, I want to come to the news that the Kou family has not known, according to the mother's opinion, it is better to choose the day than to hit the day, tomorrow Xiao Zhi will bring gifts to the Kou family to give a big dowry, and by the way, I will inform you that you have won the first case. ”

Zhou He learned about Kou Peihan's virtuous and beautiful appearance from Fan Jin, Zhou Luyun and Uncle Wang, the "mystery boy", and he couldn't wait to meet this Miss Kou family. And if she wants to see Miss Kou, the only way at this time is to let Zhou Zhi marry her as soon as possible.

Besides, Zhou Zhi won the case, and those matchmakers in the four miles and eight towns are bound to run more diligently to the Zhou family, and the matchmaker who said for Zhou Zhi is to kick through the threshold of the Zhou family! Zhou He's dealing with these all day long, isn't that also annoying?

Zhou Zhi is seventeen years old this year, and he has also reached the age of marriage.

Marrying Miss Kou this year, she will be able to hold her grandson next year. Thinking of holding the chubby little grandson every day, Zhou He smiled happily.

Zhou He's mother-in-law thought very thoughtfully, and had already prepared tomorrow's gifts for Zhou Zhi. Zhou Zhi suppressed his excitement and said, "Since my mother ordered me like this, Xiao Zhi will take Brother Fan Jin and Uncle Wang to the Kou family in Tang County for a big dowry tomorrow." ”
