Zhou Zhi put all the books into a cloth bag, tidied up his clothes, and continued to go home. The beautiful woman dressed as a man slightly showed a neat row of bright teeth, and the beautiful posture of smiling was firmly fixed in Zhou Zhi's mind.

He couldn't help but think again, listening to the woman's accent, there was no doubt that she was a local, but where was there such a martial family in the local area? The woman looks good, but she's too rude. If such a woman is married, I don't know how much she will suffer.

Zhou Zhi shook his head lightly with self-deprecation, where is she from, who is she going to marry, which man wants to be angry with him, what does it matter to me? Hehe! That's a lot to worry about!

Five miles away, it took a stick of incense to arrive, and Zhou Zhi quickly walked onto the main street in the village that ran through the east and west with a cloth bag in his hand. As soon as they arrived at the corner of the street, they saw seven or eight slaves coming in front of them surrounded by a soft sedan chair without a canopy.

In Zhou Zhi's impression, there is only one person in Baiyue Village who sits in such a soft sedan chair, and that is Yue Shunde, the old lady of the Yue family.

Zhou Zhi has never had a relationship with the Yue family, but that time he made a bet with Chen Wenju in the field, and Zhou Zhi was forced to let Zhang Yong invite him. Since that fight, Zhou Zhi has not seen Yue Shunde again.

It was cold, Yue Shunde was old and rarely went out. But today, for some reason, he came out like this, and Zhou Zhi couldn't help but take a few more looks.

Coincidentally, at this time, Yue Shunde on the soft sedan car also saw Zhou Zhi with a pair of shining old eyes. Yue Shunde's old face became gloomy in an instant, and he ordered a black-faced servant beside him, "Go, call that kid from the Zhou family over." ”

The servant naturally didn't dare to slack off, and trotted to Zhou Zhi and talked to Zhou Zhi.

Zhou Zhi didn't know why, but it was better for a big family like the Yue family not to be offended easily, so he strode to Yue Shunde.

Yue Shunde curled up in a soft sedan chair wearing a sheepskin, raised his eyelids slightly, glanced at Zhou Zhi, and said, "Zhou family boy, the last time you made a bet with Chen Wenju's cub in the field, do you remember?" ”

Zhou Zhi hurriedly said, "The kid remembers." ”

Yue Shunde said, "Just remember, if the old man hadn't come forward to testify for you last time, what if you had won Chen Wenju?" Can he plow your house and plant wheat? Yue Shunde's tone was obviously not good, Zhou Zhi heard it, it seemed that this old guy had come back to his senses, thinking that he had tricked him, and at this time he was looking for his own trouble.

Thinking like this, Zhou Zhi hurriedly smiled all over his face and said, "What Old Lady Yue said is that the kid should have thanked Old Lady Yue a long time ago!" ”

As he spoke, he bowed deeply to Yue Shunde. Immediately straightened up, looking at Yue Shunde's increasingly gloomy face, Zhou Zhi didn't wait for him to speak, and continued, "Old lady Yue is highly respected, in Renman Township, who of our Baiyue Village doesn't respect you, say hello in front of you, that's not true, but the neighbors have been talking about your good behind your back, and they are all looking forward to your longevity!"

Old lady Yue, the kid really thinks that there is your old town in our Baiyue Village, and those talents can't turn the sky. Old lady Yue, the kid will give you a gift again.

Speaking of that day, if it weren't for Mrs. Yue, who would still be shocking Chen Wenju's cub. The cub felt that he didn't know how thick he was if he was a boy in the exam.

Cut! What's the big deal, in the eyes of the kid he was just a blind cat who met a dead mouse and was a child. Just that time, Mrs. Yue, do you know what the neighbors say about you? ”

Yue Shunde wanted to reprimand Zhou Zhi well, so as to relieve the evil anger in his heart that day of being teased. But Zhou Zhi's sycophant patted over, but it made him feel very comfortable, and he couldn't open his mouth. His face softened slightly, and he asked, "What do the neighbors say about the old man?" ”

"Hehe, do you need to ask? Naturally, Mrs. Yue, you finally spoke out for the people of our Baiyue Village, and that kid should teach a good lesson. Old lady Yue is such an upright person, don't look at the Yue family and the Chen family now, but sooner or later, the Yue family will kill the Chen family, because your old lady Yue's merits are there.

On the contrary, if you look at the Chen family, what kind of bad things are done, a while ago, the kid heard that Chen Wenju was a cub and didn't know where to get an old way. Hum! That old way is full of thief spirit, according to the boy's opinion, with that old way, the Chen family is even worse! Zhou Zhi said.

The more Yue Shunde listened to Zhou Zhi's words, the more happy he became, and finally showed a smile and said, "Hehe! In fact, the old man is not as good as the neighbors say, but no, the old man does have good thoughts in his heart. The Chen family, in fact, there is no way to compare with our Yue family now, hehe! Alright, go back, boy! ”

After Yue Shunde finished speaking, he waved his hand at Zhou Zhi and motioned for Zhou Zhi to leave.

Zhou Zhi was just about to move his steps, but Yue Shunde stopped him again and said, "Boy, remember, if others help you in the future, how can you say that you have to thank others?" ”

"Well, the kid wrote it down!" Zhou Zhi hurriedly said.

Suddenly, Yue Shunde's old eyes stared at the cloth bag in Zhou Zhi's hand and asked, "Boy, what's in your bag?" ”

"Back to the old lady's words, it's a few books borrowed by the kid." Zhou Zhi held back the nausea in his heart and replied.

Talking to this old guy, Zhou Zhi was already tired of it. Everyone knows that this old guy is not a good thing, and he has a bad heart. But it was not good to offend him, so Zhou Zhicai flattered him with a false grievance.

"Oh! The old man knows that you are literate, and it is good to read some books. Well, go for it! Yue Shunde said expressionlessly.

Zhou Zhi strode away.

As soon as he left, Yue Shunde's face sank as if he had been poured with a lot of lead water. Fortunately, the black-faced slave beside him suddenly cheered, "Old lady, look, look, sir, they are back!" ”

Yue Shunde suddenly looked happy, raised the withered old hand high, and then put it down. Then the servants around him quickly took out the firecrackers they had prepared in advance, quickly lit them, and set them off crackling.

Firecrackers are rarely set off in Baiyue Village, and suddenly firecrackers rang off on this main street, and the people who were nesting at home immediately flocked out, all in unison to see the excitement.

Zhou Zhi also stopped and looked back, but saw a group of cars and horses coming slowly at the entrance of the village. Riding a horse in front of the head was Yue Shujie, the patriarch of the Yue family, and behind him was Yue Shunde's second son Yue Shuhao, and the third son Yue Shuyong.

Yue Shunde gave birth to a total of four sons, which seems to be three of them, and there is also a fourth son named Yue Shuzhen. He is now mainly studying hard, and is not allowed to go out all year round under the constraints of the husband hired by the Yue family's high gold.

Behind Yue Shunde's three sons, there were more than a dozen carriages, all loaded with goods high.

In the past, the Yue family mainly relied on thousands of acres of fertile land to collect rent, but now it seems to be doing business. And this time, the three sons of the Yue family were dispatched at once, which shows that they attach great importance to doing business, and everyone started to talk about it for a while.
