The small Baiyue Village is boiling, and there has not been a single lifter in the village over the years, but this year, there are lifters, and there are two at once. Zhou Zhi counted one, and Yue Shuzhen counted one. Zhou Zhi even took the Xie Yuan exam of Beizhili, what a shock and glory this is for Baiyue Village!

For a while, the Zhou family and the Yue family were full of guests, and the lights were colorful, so it was not lively.

Seeing such a scene, the villagers all breathed a sigh of relief and went home to educate their sons to study hard from today on. Baiyue Village is a treasure of feng shui! I can't say that in a few years, my son will be able to take the exam. Even if you don't pass the test, it's good to be a showman.

According to Zhou Zhi's thoughts, he was originally waiting to visit Chen Guangyao of Qingdu County tomorrow. Unexpectedly, not long after he arrived home, his mentor Chen Guangyao took the initiative to come. Zhou Zhi hurried to greet him. The magistrate came to the door in person, although Zhou Zhi was a man, but the Zhou family also felt particularly honored.

Chen Guangyao was already overjoyed at this time, and naturally couldn't help but praise Zhou Zhi.

This year was a year in which Chen Guangyao was a foreign minister, and there were eight people in Qingdu County at once, which can only show that Chen Guangyao is well-governed. Coupled with these days, Chen Guangyao's reputation among the people of Qingdu is getting better and better, and it won't be long before Chen Guangyao is promoted.

For a few days, the Zhou family was in full swing. Zhou Zhi's brows slowly furrowed. It's not that Zhou Zhi is afraid of being lively and doesn't want to come into contact with people, because Zhou Zhi found that there are many people who he didn't know before, or even hated them. For example, Cheng Daju in Gaochang Town actually came to visit in person.

Cheng Kecheng is really convinced.

The little wife Kou Peihan had the same thoughts as Zhou Zhi, she even pouted and said, "Isn't it just that you have passed the exam, husband, I have to wait for you to come out of the exam!" ”

is the champion again, Yang Tinghe seems to have said to himself that he wants to be the champion in the exam. It is good to get a top prize in the exam, and you can be famous all over the world. But the matter of taking the top prize is true to learn from real talent, but the world is so big, there are many people who can write good articles, not to mention, even those good articles are also among the best. The most important thing is that the examiners are looking at the high at a glance and the low at the same time, and the ranking will be in their thoughts. As for the champion, it is naturally the emperor's ruling. But the relationship between Emperor Hongzhi and himself now, thinking about it, he ruled that he was the champion, and the possibility was very small.

Naturally, these words could not be said to Kou Peihan, so Zhou Zhi just smiled and did not answer.

It was almost seven or eight days before the Zhou family settled down.

What followed were calm days. Zhou Zhi had nothing to do every day, so he began to study hard. Now there are fewer and fewer books to read, and Zhou Zhi's reading speed is fast again, but fortunately, the Zhou family is now rich, so they go to various places to collect all kinds of ancient books.

As early as when Zhou Zhi began to read, the old Xiucai Wang Ding once said that there are all kinds of books that need to be read on the road to scientific research, and the more books you read, the broader your vision will be, and the more in-depth the articles you will write.

In addition to reading every day, Zhou Zhi also has to write his own questions and write an eight-strand essay.

In addition, he often has to gather with Lu Xingchuan, Che Lang, Fan Jin and others to discuss one or two. It is worth mentioning that Fan Jin lifted people home in the examination, although he was very excited and happy, but it was by no means as evil as Wu Jingzi's Fan Jinzhongju.

Three months passed in the blink of an eye for such calm and regular days.

Soon ushered in the twelfth year of the Ming Dynasty. In February of this year, the Beijing will hold an examination.

This day is the seventeenth day of the first lunar month, and the weather is still very cold. Zhou Zhi knew that although it was such a cold weather, because the capital had to take the test, the far-away movers were already on the way to the capital at this time. There is no way, to catch up with the years and months of the test, for the lifters who are far away from the capital, they are going to start before the year, and there is no way to spend the New Year at home.

Zhou Zhi and the others lived four or five days away from the capital, so after discussing with Lu Xingchuan and others, they planned to go to the capital at the end of the first month.

Zhou Zhi had just had lunch, and the old servant surnamed Ding of the Lu Xingchuan family hurriedly entered the Zhou house, "Young master of the Zhou family, my young master is invited!" ”

I only got together with Lu Xingchuan and others two days ago, but this old servant surnamed Ding came in a hurry today, could it be that something happened to the Lu family? Zhou Zhi was stunned, but since it was Lu Xingchuan who was invited, he naturally couldn't be vague at all, hurriedly greeted Han'er, and got into the carriage where the old servant surnamed Ding came.

In the carriage, Zhou Zhicai learned from Lao Ding that the Lu family came to four guests early this morning, all of whom were from Jiangnan, and three of them had been here before, and Zhou Zhi knew them. It is Xu Jing, Wu Wending and Gu Dingchen. As for the other person, he had never been to the Lu family before, but that person was very good-looking and very powerful, and Lu Xingchuan, Fan Jin and others had special respect for him.

Zhou Zhi nodded slightly, no need to ask, this time the person who came with Xu Jing and others must be a genius from Jiangnan.

Speaking of which, the last time Xu Jing came to Lu's house as a guest, Xu Jing relied on him to pass the examination in his twenties, which was extremely arrogant, which made everyone very unhappy, and finally everyone seemed to break up unhappily.

Zhou Zhi thought that Xu Jing and the others must have gone to the capital to take the exam this time, and when they passed by here, they naturally stopped by to pay a visit.

Five miles away, in the blink of an eye.

The carriage stopped at the gate of the Lu family, and Zhou Zhi jumped off the carriage very neatly, but Fan Jin and Che Lang were already waiting at the gate. Seeing Zhou Zhi get out of the car, he immediately said, "Brother Zhou Zhixian, you can be regarded as here, today you want to meet a great talent!" ”

From the expressions of Fan Jin and Che Lang, Zhou Zhi clearly felt that the talented man who came with Xu Jing and others today was definitely extraordinary.

Fan Jin walked in front, Che Lang and Zhou Zhi followed, and quickly entered the living room of the Lu family. The living room was already very lively at this time, and a few fresh fruits had already been placed on the tea table. It's cold now, and these fruits and things like that are hidden in the cellar are very expensive.

As for the tea, it is naturally made from the best Yashan tea, and the aroma is overflowing.

"Huh! Brother Zhou Zhixian is here, come, and introduce you to a talented man for my brother. Before Zhou Zhi had time to greet Xu Jing and the others, Lu Xingchuan stepped forward and pulled Zhou Zhi and said.

Obviously, Lu Xingchuan couldn't help but be overjoyed because of the great fame of the talented man who came this time.

Zhou Zhi raised his eyes and saw a young man in his twenties sitting at the top of the living room. The man's white face is beardless, his facial features are very thoughtful, especially a pair of eyes, which are scorching and shining, and they are very attractive. Such a man, whether it is in the Ming Dynasty at this time or in the future generations, should be a rare beautiful man.

Lu Xingchuan said, "Brother Zhou Zhixian, this is Tang Yin and Tang Bohu, one of the four great talents in Jiangnan. ”
