Zhou Zhi had already heard the prefect Peng Ze say that Liu Yu had a strange temperament, but he didn't expect it to be such a strange method.

At this time, listening to what Wang Ding said, this Liu Yu attaches importance to the foundation and follows the rules, he obviously does not belong to the type in his mind, and his reading speed is very fast, in his opinion, he must be the type without a foundation.

Thinking about it like this, Zhou Zhi became suspicious of Liu Yu, could it be that Liu Yu is an old pedant or something, and he is a corrupt Confucian?

Liu Yu is very famous in the entire Baoding Mansion, so he won't be famous, right?

Then I thought that even if Liu Yu had a false name, he must go to the meeting, and he could be Liu Yu's disciple, after all, this is good for his own fame, which is equivalent to putting on a dazzling halo for himself!

Zhou Zhi chatted with Wang Ding for a few more words, and then said goodbye to Wang Ding.

Wang Ding saw him off behind Zhou Zhi, and just walked to the door, Wang Ding suddenly said again, "Zhou Zhi boy, do you remember the year before last when someone came to the old man's house to force the old man to burn books?" ”

Zhou Zhi stopped and said, "Of course I remember, but I haven't found out who it is?" ”

"Huh! You must not be able to find out, now your Zhou family is also a rich family in Baiyue Village, although there is not a lot of power in Baiyue Village, but the old man sees, in a short time, your Zhou family will definitely become the helmsman of Baiyue Village!

You have passed the first test, and the old man has seen that your temperament has undergone many changes in the past year, not as reckless as before, but a lot more sophisticated in stability and understanding. The old man might as well tell you who the ** person who forced the old man is today.

Of course, the old man also guessed, but this guess was very accurate.

On the night of the year before last, several evil men who came to the old man's house were members of the Yue family. It was the Yue family who instructed them to do it. ”

Zhou Zhi was stunned.

He has never had anything to do with the Yue family, let alone offended the Yue family, and the Yue family is deeply rooted in Baiyue Village, but he is not as domineering and arrogant as the Chen family. Why did the Yue family do such a thing?

Seeing that Zhou Zhi was stunned, Wang Ding said, "Hehe! The old man has already figured out the reason, in fact, the reason is simple, since you made a bet with Chen Wenju that you can know a thousand words, Yue Shunde of the Yue family has a heart for your kid.

Although the Yue family is rich, they have never been a scholar, which has always been a regret and even a shame for the Yue family. Their families can't produce scholars, so how can they allow other people's families to produce scholars. That's the mentality, so they have to suppress you.

In the past few years, the Yue family has finally come up with a reading material, Yue Shuzhen, originally wanted to be the head of the case in the county examination this year, but the head of the case was taken away by your kid. How can they be convinced? Boy! The so-called human heart is unpredictable, you still have to be more careful in the future! ”

Zhou Zhi suddenly, "There are angry people, but there are no laughing people." "There are a lot of people who don't get better, and they hope that others won't get better like them. People with such a mentality are found in almost every corner. There are people in the countryside, people in the cities, and government agencies. There are modern times, and there are natural ones in ancient times.

Such a person is to compare with the people around him, acquaintances, narrow-minded, dirty thoughts, in modern times such people are called garbage people.

For the disposal of garbage people, it is natural to stay away and stay away.

But sometimes if you stay away, you still have to be persecuted by them, and in this case, you can only fight with them heartily. The Chen family and the Cheng Ke family in Gaochang Town have been so neat that they can no longer raise their heads, but this Yue family has slowly surfaced.

More than a year has passed since the incident, and there is no tangible evidence, in the final analysis, it is still a guess, and Zhou Zhi naturally will not go to Yue's house to find trouble at this time. Besides, although Yue Shuzhen said that he had hatred for Zhou Zhi, he hadn't torn his face after all.

After all, the Yue family and the county Cheng Yang Tong walked together, Zhou Zhi had already offended the county Cheng Yang Tong, in fact, Zhou Zhi had already thought that he and the Yue family would not come together.

For today's plan, it is natural to focus on prevention.

Coming out of Wang Ding's house, the corners of Zhou Zhi's mouth raised slightly, revealing a sneer. Yue's family, hehe! Clown-like character, how can I be afraid of him?

Then Zhou Zhi took a detour and went to Daddy Zhang's house.

Zhou Zhi met Zhang Yong during the county exam, and he had to talk to Daddy Zhang. Father Zhang learned that Zhang Yong had entered the palace, and according to Zhou Zhi, it seemed that he was not bad, so he naturally felt a lot more at ease.

At this time, Daddy Zhang's psychology is naturally different from when Zhang Yong just left home more than a year, and Daddy Zhang even thinks that maybe Zhang Yong will be able to make a name for himself one day. Speaking of which, it is not very glorious to hold power by entering the palace as a eunuch, but as long as it can shine on the lintel, it is acceptable.

Zhou Zhi, as a traverser from later generations, was naturally clear about Zhang Yong's achievements later, but at this time, he couldn't tell Daddy Zhang, so he could only comfort Daddy Zhang, and finally came out of his house and went home.

The government examination will not wait until mid-April, and there will be two months left. At this time, the main task is to read and compose, and prepare for the exam. So Zhou Zhi didn't want to delay, and planned to go to Lixian tomorrow to apprentice.

Li County is more than 300 miles away from Qingdu County, which is a long journey for Zhou Zhi. Mother Zhou He naturally prepared well, and his father Zhou Tie also told Zhou Zhi to study hard and not to make trouble outside.

In response to that sentence, the mother of the child is worried!

The Zhou family's small workshop for making vermicelli has already opened again, and Zhou Zhi originally planned to go to Lixian alone. But his father Zhou Tie and his mother Zhou He will definitely arrange for Qi Yanwu to follow.

And Qi Yanwu, as Zhou Zhi's scholar, was also very happy to follow Zhou Zhi out, but Zhou Zhi had no choice but to agree.

As for the small workshop, it would require Zhou Tie and Hu Zhe to be more busy. Fortunately, my sister Zhou Luyun didn't have anything to do at her mother-in-law's house, so she simply moved back to her parents' house, and she could also help out.

The next day, the sky was dark, and Zhou Zhi and Qi Yanwu set off from home.

The two walked out of Baiyue Village and walked directly along the official road in the southeast direction.

It was early spring in February, the weather was warm and cold, the wheat seedlings in the field were turning green, the field was green, and after a few breaths of fresh air, the two of them suddenly felt refreshed, and the pace under their feet was more solid and fast.

After two days, I have already left Qingdu County and entered Boye County. After passing through Boye, and then going northeast for 150 miles is Lixian.

Boye is also a small and remote county, and the county seat is very depressed, which is obviously not as good as Qingdu County. It was almost dusk, and Zhou Zhi and Qi Yanwu found an inn to live in Boye County. The two rented a room and ate something briefly, and Qi Yanwu sat on the edge of the bed and closed his eyes to recuperate.

Zhou Zhi doesn't have the habit of reading at night, but it's still early to go to bed, and he has nothing to do, so he simply picks up a book and looks at it carefully under the lamp.

I had just read a few pages, and suddenly there was a cry in the courtyard of the inn, "Which one is Zhou Zhi, I want to see what kind of person he is?" ”

The tone is very domineering, and it is obvious that the person who came is not good.
