Zhang Hudan'er, no, it should be Zhang Yong now, the matter of his palace has been boiling in Baiyue Village for a few days, and finally it has calmed down. Zhang Yong also quietly embarked on the road north to the capital in the early morning of one day and began his life's journey.

Because Daddy Zhang has been thinking about tea and dinner for the past few days, and he is in a trance, Zhou Zhi has always persuaded and comforted Daddy Zhang, so he didn't borrow books.

Zhang Yong left, and Daddy Zhang's mood slowly calmed down, so let's just don't give birth to this son. Fortunately, he still has two sons, so there is no need to worry about things like passing on the family lineage and continuing the incense.

After such a delay, another four days passed, and early this morning, Zhou Zhi fed the horses, went to the field to check the vegetable greenhouse, and then came out of the village and went directly to Shulu Village.

Shulu Village is located in the northeast of Baiyue Village, almost seven or eight miles away from Baiyue Village. After Zhou Zhi left the village, he first walked about five miles along the official road leading to Gaochang Town to the north, and then walked a field road to the east to Shulu Village.

Today's weather is fine, cloudless, the wheat seedlings in the field are green and green, and there is an open field of vision. Zhou Zhi took a few deep breaths of fresh air, his eyes were clear, the early winter was cold after all, the slight north wind was blowing gently, Zhou Zhi covered his clothes and quickened his pace.

While walking widely, there was a sound of horses' hooves behind him, Zhou Zhi turned around and saw that a carriage was coming slowly, so Zhou Zhi leaned over to the side of the road and let the carriage pass.

The carriage soon arrived at the side, but the sedan curtain on the car was lifted, and the people inside probed and shouted at Zhou Zhi, "Zhou family boy, is this going to Gaochang Town?" Come, get in the car, the old man will carry you over. ”

The head of the family who can have a carriage must be a rich family, and Zhou Zhi, a poor peasant child, naturally has no contact with the rich families. But listening to this voice was extremely enthusiastic, Zhou Zhi couldn't help but turn his head to look. The person in the car had a fat head and big ears, and he was looking at him with a smile on his face.

He is none other than Chen Zonghe, the patriarch of the Chen family.

Zhou Zhi had already learned from Niu Desheng and Liu Wa that Chen Zonghe had always opposed Chen Wenju's scourge of the Zhou family, which had always made Zhou Zhi unclear. You must know that Chen Zonghe, the patriarch of the Chen family, is not a good bird. Otherwise, Li Dayin, a farmer who was persecuted by a dog, would not have been displaced and uprooted from his hometown two years ago.

Today, Chen Zonghe is so enthusiastic, which makes Zhou Zhi even more puzzled.

But people are smiling, and now you can't give them a cold ass. Zhou Zhi smiled slightly and said, "Boy, thank you Master Chen, if you don't go to Gaochang Town, you won't go far, so you won't bother Master Chen." ”

"Huh! Why bother to say, you and I are in the same village, and then you kid doesn't keep going north, it just so happens that the old man went to Gaochang Town, what can I do if I give you a ride? Come on, boy. Chen Zonghe's face sank slightly, pretending to be displeased.

"This ......" Zhou Zhi really hesitated.

Now people are warm-hearted, although this Chen Zonghe is not a good thing, but when he thinks about it carefully, it seems that he is not sorry for his family. Of course, it's not better, it's just that I never get along.

As for Chen Wenju's own death, Zhou Zhi won Chen Wenju and asked Chen Wenju to plow the land for the Zhou family to plant wheat, which was his Chen Wenju's business. Chen Zonghe never showed anything.

Zhou Zhi secretly thought that Chen Zonghe, with such a face, took the initiative to approach me, and he must not have any good intentions. But since he took the initiative to invite me, hehe! It's better to sit on a ride, anyway, walking below, the little north wind is blowing, and it's still very cold.

Thinking of this, Zhou Zhi smiled at Chen Zonghe again, and stepped into the carriage.

The handlebar type who was rushing to the car glanced back at Zhou Zhi, and then at Chen Zonghe, although he was very suspicious in his heart, he didn't dare to ask more, so he shouted loudly, "Drive!" Then the horse trotted north.

Chen Zonghe's face was fat, he smiled, similar to a Maitreya Buddha, his small eyes looked directly at Zhou Zhi, and said, "The boy of the Zhou family, he has grown a lot taller recently!" Is your mother doing these days? ”

He smiled and spoke, and Zhou Zhi naturally greeted him with a smile and said, "Back to Master Chen's words, my mother is in good health for a while." ”

"By the way, I heard a few days ago that your little brother was sick and had a stroke on a traveling girl, so it should be better now, right?"

"Well, my little brother's body is getting stronger and stronger day by day."

Chen Zonghe then sighed and said, "Speaking of which, Brother Zhou Tie has been going to Tang County for almost a month, so he should come back too, right?" ”

According to the past practice, ordinary people only serve for a month each time, but this year, there has been no news for a month, which actually makes the mothers Zhou He and Zhou Zhi already worried.

However, when Chen Zonghe asked, Zhou Zhi still smiled and said, "The government has gone far away this year, so I want to have a longer life in the future!" ”

Chen Zonghe talked to Zhou Zhi like this, and never mentioned the bet between Zhou Zhi and Chen Wenju, as if that incident had never happened, and Zhou Zhi dealt with it casually. Chen Zonghe was silent for a while, and then suddenly asked again, "Zhou Zhi boy, I heard that your sister Luyun has set a marriage?" The man is a small household surnamed Hu in Gaochang Town? ”

"Hmm!" Zhou Zhidao.

Chen Zonghe nodded slightly, and then asked, "When are they going to get married?" ”

"According to the original agreement, the marriage was supposed to be completed at the end of this year, but my sister wanted to live at home for a while, so it was arranged at the end of next year." Zhou Zhi looked at Chen Zonghe, who was still smiling, and replied.

"Well, your sister should be sixteen years old this year, right?" Chen Zonghe then asked.

Zhou Zhi felt inexplicably "chuckled" in his heart at this time, and Chen Zonghe seemed to have asked all the people in his family. When I asked other people, I said a word, as if I asked my sister Zhou Luyun more.

Why does he care so much about his sister Zhou Luyun?

Zhou Zhi didn't have a good impression of Chen Zonghe, one was a poor young man, and the other was a rich man, they themselves were not all the way, and they had no intersection in the past. Moreover, Zhou Zhi once made a bet with Chen Wenju, which made Chen Wenju lose face. I have to think a little more at this point.

But glancing at Chen Zonghe, seeing that he was calm and relaxed, it seemed that he was just asking casually, and Zhou Zhi had no choice but to say, "My sister is sixteen this year." ”

Chen Zonghe laughed a few times, stretched out his fat palm and gently patted Zhou Zhi's shoulder, and said, "Zhou Zhi boy, do a good job, you kid is a very thoughtful person, just want to grow fresh vegetables in winter, I am very optimistic about you." Hehe! Maybe your Zhou family will get rich because of you, and in the future, our Baiyue Village will really have you Zhou Zhi No. 1 mile! ”

"Boy, thank you Master Chen, where is the boy? In our Baiyue Village, if you want to say that the person who has the ability is still you, Master Chen, like you, Master Chen, everyone admires and is the most sorry. Zhou Zhi said with a smile.

Since Chen Zonghe speaks well, who can't say good things, Zhou Zhi simply patted Chen Zonghe's ass.

Thousands of wears, but the sycophants are not worn, Zhou Zhi's sycophant slapped the past, which really made Chen Zonghe very useful, and the fat and oily face smiled even better.

"Huh! You kid really can talk, I like it, sir! Chen Zonghe said with a smile.

"Coachman, stop! It's time for the kid to go down! Zhou Zhi kept an eye out the window, and shouted hurriedly when he saw the intersection leading to Shulu Village.

"Arrived so soon? See you later! After Zhou Zhi jumped out of the carriage, Chen Zonghe opened the sedan curtain and greeted Zhou Zhi affectionately.

"Thank you Mr. Chen today!" Zhou Zhi shouted towards the carriage that was gradually moving away.

Zhou Zhi then turned onto the field road, and walked more than a mile along the path to Shulu Village.

As he walked, he secretly thought to himself, although he had not been in contact with Chen Zonghe, the patriarch of the Chen family, before, his reputation in Baiyue Village was extremely poor. Bullying tenants, bullying people's land, forcing people to be desperate and living in other places, he can do all kinds of bad things.

But he is surprisingly good to himself today, what is going on? Could it be that he has ulterior motives for me? Hiding a knife in a smile?

But for a poor man like me, who has neither power nor money, is he worth it?
