Chapter 249: Worship
Liu Long is so trustworthy, and when he says it, Zhou Zhi will naturally not snub Liu Long. Let Liu Long go to the makeshift shack, make a pot of good Yashan tea, and the two began to chat.
The content of their chatter was nothing more than the exam questions of this Taoist exam, Liu Long asked Zhou Zhi for advice very humbly, and Zhou Zhi confided it to him without concealment. Then Liu Long asked Zhou Zhi what books he had read, and Zhou Zhi told them one by one.
Since my friends are sincere to me, then I will naturally be sincere to my friends, or even more sincere. The so-called people respect me for a foot, and I respect people. This is a principle of thoughtfulness.
For the dozen or so healthy servants brought by Liu Long, Zhou Zhirang's mother-in-law Zhou He and sister Zhou Luyun were also a good hospitality.
Liu Long stayed at Zhou's house for almost an hour before leaving with his people. When leaving, Liu Long said with a smile that he would definitely come to disturb Zhou Zhi in the future and ask for some principles and knowledge of life. Zhou Zhi smiled slowly and said very happily, "Since you and I are friends, we naturally need to be closer, hehe!" My Zhou family welcomes Brother Liu Long at any time! ”
As soon as Liu Long and the others left, Daddy Zhou Tie walked over with a frightened face and said, "Xiaozhi, my father secretly saw it just now, and this box is full of white flowers." ”
He had never seen so much silver, and he was both excited and nervous for a moment.
Zhou Zhi said indifferently, "Daddy, don't worry, our Zhou family will have a lot of money in the future!" ”
"No, for the sake of the father, he said that so much silver came from the right way." Zhou Tie frowned and asked.
Not only Zhou Tie, but even Zhou He was pale and very nervous. She and Zhou Tie had the same thoughts, worried about where the silver would come from.
"Huh! Didn't Xiao Wu say it just now? This money is above board, and everyone knows it. Can't my father and mother even believe it? Zhou Zhi said.
Zhou Zhi asked like this, Zhou Tie and Zhou He were a little relieved, and a little joy appeared on their faces. But soon the faces of the two of them became nervous again, and Zhou Tie said, "Xiaozhi, our Zhou family didn't have any money before, and life was not easy. But now that there is a lot of silver, I am afraid that this day will be even more difficult. Where are we hiding so much silver? ”
The seven or eight craftsmen who came to demolish and build houses were far away from Zhou Zhi's family, but Daddy Zhou Tie still lowered his voice and asked carefully.
In fact, what Dad Zhou Tie said is not bad, it is indeed a dangerous thing to have so much silver at home. Zhou Zhi was also slightly stunned, but then Zhou Zhi smiled and said, "Daddy, don't worry, in these four miles and eight towns, if you can come to our Zhou family to steal silver, I'm afraid there will be no thieves and gangsters who beat our Zhou family's idea." ”
Yes, Zhou Zhi is now the head of the three cases of the county test, the government test, and the road test, and the small three yuan. In these four miles and eight townships, the entire Qingdu County, and even Baoding Mansion, who doesn't know the name of Zhou Zhi? Moreover, Zhou Zhi is ruthless, known as the "cold-faced slaughter", and more importantly, Zhou Zhi is a student of Chen Guangyao of Zhixian County, a student of Liu Yu of Lixian County, and a student of the great master Yang Yiqing.
They are all big shots, how bold do people who can brush the tiger's beard at this time have?
It's the Yue family of Baiyue Village, after losing the backer of the county Cheng Yang Tong, didn't they also come to curry favor with Zhou Zhi?
Of course, the county Cheng Yang Tong's family has a big business, and he is powerful, he has long hated Zhou Zhi, and according to his current powerful position, he will naturally not be afraid of Zhou Zhi.
In Zhou Tie's heart, Zhou Zhi is naturally the backbone, and when he saw Zhou Zhi's light appearance, he settled down. Then he and Hu Zhe, Qi Yanwu, and Zhou Zhi carried the dozen or so heavy boxes into the shack and covered them with quilts.
The Zhou family has so much extra money out of thin air, and Daddy Zhou Tie is even more relieved, and he is much more energetic in building a new house. Then he pointed out to those craftsmen again, and it seemed that they were going to expand the scale again.
After he arranged all this, he called Zhou Zhi and said, "Xiao Zhi has passed the Xiucai examination, this is the shadow of the ancestors, Xiao Zhi will follow me to worship the ancestral tomb." ”
Hehe! Is it the ancestor Yinde who passed the exam? Zhou Zhi naturally wouldn't believe such a statement, it was all the result of his own efforts and his friends to help him.
Zhou Zhi traveled from the afterlife, but his body fused the memories of two people, although he had no impression of his ancestors, but since his father Zhou Tie said so, Zhou Zhi had no choice but to obey.
Zhou He's mother had already prepared the sacrifices, and Zhou Zhi followed his father and happened to catch up with his younger brother Zhou Shaocheng to go home from school at noon, so he simply took his younger brother Zhou Shaocheng and the three of them went to the ancestral grave in the northeast of the village.
The younger brother Zhou Shaocheng has jumped out a lot this year, and he is also a lot stronger. He is now studying social studies in the village.
According to his father Zhou Tie's thoughts, he wants Zhou Shaocheng to be the same as Zhou Zhi, to be a showman, and even to be a scholar in the future, so that the Zhou family will have two scholars at once, and the Zhou family will be even more remarkable all of a sudden.
But Zhou Shaocheng is not the material for reading, although he is shrewd and has a lot of eyes, but he has no interest in reading. In the past, when I was small and thin, I often fought with people in social studies.
Although he is small and thin, he has received thoughtful teachings, so he must not be timid and cowardly when fighting, and he must dare to strike and find a place for the opponent to fight hard. Zhou Shaocheng kept his brother's experience in mind, but he never suffered a loss when he fought with others.
Now that he is tall, he disdains to fight with people, but he also does not concentrate on studying, and plays with people all day long. Mr. Wang Ding, a sociologist, has come to Zhou's house several times and told Zhou Tieyan about Zhou Shaocheng's situation.
The old talent Wang Ding really has some skills, he can look at a person from many aspects, he can see that Zhou Shaocheng is not successful on the road of studying, but Zhou Shaocheng also has a specialty, which ordinary people can't reach. is that Zhou Shaocheng is particularly sensitive to numbers. According to Wang Ding, let Zhou Shaocheng temper more, and it will be handy to engage in professions such as accounting in the future.
Wang Ding's views coincide with Zhou Zhi.
Since the younger brother Zhou Shaocheng's ambition is not to study, he can't ask for it. Zhou Zhi turned his head to look at Zhou Shaocheng, thinking thoughtfully.
In my impression, Zhou Zhi came to the ancestral tomb for the first time to worship.
In the past, the Zhou family was poor, and they never thought of coming to the ancestral grave to worship. The ancestral grave has long been covered with barren grass, and it is very desolate.
Zhou Tie, father and son, cleaned up all the wild grass on the grave, and used a shovel to enlarge the grave a lot, so Zhou Tie placed the sacrifices and knelt in front of the grave.
Zhou Zhi and Zhou Shaocheng knelt behind Zhou Tie and kowtowed four times, and the two brothers finished worshipping. But Zhou Tie knelt and never got up, nagging in front of the grave. It's nothing more than that the Zhou family is having a better time now, Zhou Zhi has also been admitted to Xiucai, and the Zhou family is glorious, please rest assured that your ancestors and mothers are at ease. In the end, Zhou Tie's voice seemed to be choked.
