Zhou Zhi sat at the bottom of the position, his body was straight, and he was only sitting on the chair with half of his buttocks, which reflected his incomparable respect for Yang Yiqing. Yes, what an honor it was to be able to have a banquet with the Faculty Officer.

However, Zhou Zhi was not very restrained, picked up the chopsticks, first took a mouthful of food and stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it slowly, and then stood up, holding the wine cup in both hands, and said to Yang Yiqing, "Student Zhou Zhi toasts to the senior officer!" Although the students were born in the countryside, they have long heard of the reputation of adults, and the scholars are outstanding in all aspects, and the students respect them.

Adults have always been honest and honest officials, think about the people, and have the people in their hearts, and they are also models for students to learn. Adults are the so-called 'curling to the bottom'! ”

It seems that sycophants will apply at any time, regardless of whether the other party is a saint or a sage. Yang Yiqing can be described as smooth sailing now, with a high position and authority, but after listening to Zhou Zhi's sycophancy, he is still extremely useful.

Especially Zhou Zhi's last sentence "curling to the bottom is clear" talked about Yang Yiqing's heart, which made Yang Yiqing's heart bloom.

In fact, as early as Yang Yiqing's childhood, his father Yang Jing put forward a life requirement for Yang Yiqing, that is, to "see the bottom of curling". After so many years, Yang Yiqing has always kept this requirement in mind and is strict with himself.

"Curling to the bottom" is Yang Yiqing's life pursuit, but this is only hidden in his personal heart. I've never heard anyone say anything about him before. Today, Zhou Zhi said it, and for a while, Yang Yiqing's heart also became a little restless.

Secretly, my lifelong pursuit is just "curling to the bottom", is it really achieved? Otherwise, how would a country boy know?

Hehe! How did he know that Zhou Zhi was completely because when he was studying in later generations, he saw that the highest evaluation of Yang Yiqing by later generations was "curling to the bottom", so he immediately said this.

Of course, Zhou Zhi's understanding of Yang Yiqing in later generations is more than this, in fact, he has a relatively in-depth understanding. Otherwise, Zhou Zhi would not have the idea of treating Yang Yiqing as an idol in his heart.

Peng Ze and Chen Guangyao were really good to Zhou Zhi, the two of them observed their words and looks, and found that Yang Yiqing's face was happy, so they also picked up the wine cup and said, "What Zhou Zhi said just now is not bad, Lord Yang is so clear and clear, he is a model for the lower officials!" ”

With the help of the two of them, the other three magistrates did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly complimented Yang Yiqing.

Yang Yiqing laughed, and everyone drank all the wine in the wine cup, including Zhou Zhi. The atmosphere at the wine table was unprecedentedly harmonious because of Zhou Zhi's words.

Until this time, Yang Yiqing looked more at Zhou Zhi. Suddenly, Yang Yiqing smiled and said, "Zhou Zhisheng is in the countryside, but he does not fall into the ambition of studying, and he won the first case in the government examination. ”

He seems to be going to be more thoughtful.

Don't look at this as just a random test, but this reflects Yang Yiqing's interest in Zhou Zhi. After all, an official like him, ordinary people have no chance to be tested by him.

For the poetry pairing, Zhou Zhi is very good at it because he has the foundation of later generations, and he is a little happy for a while. However, there was no hint of expression on that handsome and masculine face, but said very cautiously and humbly, "My lord, Zhou Zhi has not read much, I'm afraid it will disappoint adults!" ”

"Haha! Anyway! Yang Yi laughed heartily, then frowned slightly, opened his mouth and said, "Yang flowers are scattered, and the eyes are dazzled and mistaken for snowflakes flying." ”

Zhou Zhi said without hesitation, "The bamboo shadow is shaking, and the heart shadow is mistaken for the cloud shadow." ”

"Yes, that's right!" Yang Yiqing nodded slightly, and then continued, "This official also has a couplet: two gentlemen in a thatched house, gather six or seven boys, and teach "Hundred Schools" and "Thousand Words". ”

Zhou Zhi hesitated slightly, and said, "Nine golden luans in one day, eighteen bachelors, read the "Four Books" and "Five Classics". ”

"Hehe, it's really quick!" Yang Yiqing then praised.

In later generations, Zhou Zhi saw a lot of couplets, and he had a super memory and remembered a lot.

And coincidentally, the two pairs that Yang Yiqing came out of today are exactly what Yang Yiqing had done before. However, Zhou Zhi paid a lot of attention to Yang Yiqing in later generations, so it was easy to remember.

In particular, the second couplet produced by Yang Yiqing was produced when Emperor Chenghua was studying Yang Yiqing. At that time, Yang Yiqing was the same as Zhou Zhi.

After receiving some praise from Yang Yiqing, Zhou Zhi was naturally happy, hurriedly stood up, and said to Yang Yiqing, "The student made a fool of himself just now, and the student will definitely redouble his heart in the future." ”

Yang Yiqing said, "The son can be taught!" Zhou Zhi sat down to talk, and had a banquet with the official, the more casual the better! ”

"Thank you, sir!" Zhou Zhi said and sat down.

Zhou Zhineng received Yang Yiqing's praise of "children can be taught", which made Chen Guangyao very happy. He glanced at Zhou Zhi a few times and said, "This Zhou Zhi is a person from Baiyue Village under the rule of Xia Guan, and I don't tell you that he has actually been studying for more than a year, and he has the ability to never forget, and he is indeed a talent in my Qingdu County!" ”

"Unforgettable?" Yang Yiqing immediately frowned.

Yang Yiqing has been smart since he was a child and has an extraordinary memory, but if he wants to say that he will never forget, Yang Yiqing still can't do it. However, ordinary books, he will definitely remember them after reading them twice.

Without waiting for Chen Guangyao to speak, Zhou Zhi preemptively said, "If you go back to adults, students can really write it down after reading it once!" ”

At this moment, we must not be humble, we must make a statement. Otherwise, if you don't have anything to attract attention, how can you mention Yang Yiqing's attention?

"Okay, this official writes an article on the spot, then let Zhou Zhi read it and recite it." Yang Yiqing seemed to be in great interest, as if he had met a confidant, and with a wave of his hand, he asked people to get a pen and paper.

Yang Yiqing wrote a good hand, and soon an article was written.

As early as when Lu Xingchuan was at home, Xu Jing, Gu Dingchen and Wu Wending had tested Zhou Zhi's ability to remember his skills.

At this time, Zhou Zhi naturally showed his talent easily.

The article was written by Yang Yiqing on the spot, and there is no possibility that Zhou Zhi had read it in advance. Yang Yiqing was amazed and said, "I never thought that in the remote countryside of Qingdu County, Wanxian County, there would be such a talent!" Good!

Zhou Zhi, you must hurry up your studies in the future, and the Taoist test is imminent. The Taoist test is presided over by the official himself, and the official will have to take a good look at your talent at that time, if you can get the first place in the Taoist examination, hehe! This official will take you as an apprentice! ”

Zhou Zhi just called himself a student in front of Yang Yiqing, although Yang Yiqing said that he did not object, but he was not sure, he could say such a thing at this time, as if he was very optimistic about Zhou Zhi, and he had the idea of accepting Zhou Zhi as a student.
