Chapter 270: Zhou Zhai
Time always flies, and it's the end of July. In the past two months, Zhou Zhi studied behind closed doors, he borrowed a lot of subsets of Shiwen from Lu Xingchuan, went to Baoding Mansion again, bought some books on scripture and history, and studied tirelessly every day.
It is worth mentioning that Lu Xingchuan's family now has more and more books, and his uncle Hou Guan of Naxin County is more supportive of Lu Xingchuan's reading after learning that Lu Xingchuan was a talent in the examination. Hou Guan was an official in the capital, so he purchased a lot of current texts from the capital, as well as annotations and the like, and arranged for someone to send them to Lu Xingchuan's house for Lu Xingchuan to read.
Naturally, Zhou Zhi, Fan Jin and others followed a lot.
Zhou Zhi has seen and recited, and the speed of reading is fast, and Zhou Zhi feels that he has made great progress in the past two months.
The literary meeting in Lu Xingchuan's house has stopped these days. These days, Zhou Zhiwen has only participated in one small gathering.
Everyone knows that the exchange of literary meetings is very beneficial and very helpful for their own composition, but recently, they have been unable to get together many people.
However, several people from the literary club met to write articles such as essay guidance, and everyone wrote some. Under the busyness of Feng Mao's organization, the first such collection of Wenhui was printed and sold in Qingdu County, surrounding counties, and even Baoding Prefecture. As expected, the book was a bestseller, and although it was the first book of the Wenhui, everyone made a little money, and as the book was sold, there would be more money coming in.
It's just that such an article is extremely difficult to write, and it will take time for the second volume to be printed, and it will take several people from the literary society to accumulate experience.
Although Fan Jin is old, but these days he is running around, he has also got in touch with Wen Youshan, the old teacher of the Lotus Pond Academy in Baoding Mansion, Fan Jin actually went to study in the Lotus Pond Academy a few days ago.
Hehe! This old guy is like he is old and strong, full of confidence, and it seems that he is determined to win next year's township test.
Che Lang also has a connection with a academy in Zhending Mansion, and plans to go there to study for a while in a few days.
In addition, Qiu Haolan, Feng Mao, and Wei Haogu are also actively running, seeking high-level universities, and preparing for further study.
Lu Xingchuan is not very interested in going to the academy and other studies, he seems to be used to reading and writing by himself, but fortunately he has the full support of the Hou family in Xinxian County. Moreover, according to Lu Xingchuan, it seems that his uncle-in-law Hou's family will not be long before he will invite a great Confucian from the capital to concentrate on teaching Lu Xingchuan.
In this way, it seems that only Zhou Zhi is still learning by himself.
There's no way, Zhou Zhi is actually just putting down other things and reading now. Besides, he doesn't have any way now, Chen Guangyao, the county magistrate, is only a magistrate after all, and if he wants to find a good academy for Zhou Zhi, it seems that he doesn't have that much ability.
As for Peng Ze, the prefect of Baoding Prefecture, although he is commensurate with Zhou Zhi's uncle and nephew, and he is also Zhou Zhi's teacher in terms of reputation, he seems to be not so enthusiastic about Zhou Zhi's reading after recommending Liu Yu and Liu Daru from Lixian County to Zhou Zhi. Anyway, since Zhou Zhi passed the exam last time Xiucai met him, Peng Ze has never asked Zhou Zhi about his study situation in the past two months.
As for Zhou Zhi's heavyweight teacher, Grand Master Yang Yiqing, it seems that he can't count on it. Zhou Zhi thought that it might be because he was in a high position and was very busy all day long, in short, he never asked about Zhou Zhi's situation, as if he had forgotten Zhou Zhi's student. This made Zhou Zhi feel a little stunned when he occasionally remembered him.
Now Zhou Zhi thinks about the most is naturally the wedding day on August 15. On that day, Xiao Nizi will be married into the door. In the future, I will be able to stay with her every day and be together. Whenever he thought of the scene where he was studying hard at the table and the beautiful Kou Peihan was accompanying him, Zhou Zhi felt energetic, and even the blood in his body was boiling.
After almost two months of busyness, the Zhou family's new house was finally completed.
The gate is a gatehouse that opens due south, and the high gatehouse reads: Zhou House, two gilded characters. The gate is made of old locust wood, and the outside is painted with a thick layer of vermilion lacquer, which glows red in the sunlight.
The whole gate is very magnificent, in Baiyue Village, now it seems that the gate of the Zhou Mansion is more spacious than the Yue family.
When you enter the gate, you will find the courtyard. Although Daddy Zhou Tie is a rough man and a poor farmer, there is a good saying, he has never eaten pork but has seen a pig run. He actually planted a few weeping willows in the courtyard and planted a lot of flowers and plants in the corner. Although it has not been planted for a long time, it is growing vigorously, and some of them even bloom with various flowers, which is very beautiful.
The entire house is divided into three floors.
The first entry is the living room, as well as a thoughtful study, as well as two guest rooms. Although the area of this house is a little smaller, the inside is exceptionally clean and elegant. I don't know if my father Zhou Tie consulted any masters.
The second is the future residence of Zhou Zhi and Kou Peihan. This is more elegant when he enters the house, it may be that his sister Zhou Luyun has participated in a lot of opinions, in short, he is immersed in it, and his whole body is comfortable. Zhou Zhi thought of what kind of mood he felt every day when he and Xiao Nizi Kou Peihan lived here in the future.
I have already said that in the future, Peihan will have a happy mood every day. Don't seek to be rich and rich, just to be in a good mood and happy every day.
This entry into the house should be very in line with Kou Peihan's requirements!
The third entrance is the residence of the rest of the family, which seems to be very large and reasonably arranged. In addition to the main house, two wings were built on the east and west sides.
One is used as a kitchen, and the other is Qi Yanwu's residence.
Of course, in addition to Qi Yanwu's residence, there are still several houses left. Zhou Zhi thought that it might be the long-term of his father's plan, and the Zhou family might hire servants as their days prospered in the future. This is the housing for them.
As for her sister Zhou Luyun and brother-in-law Ho Zhe, their houses were not built here.
In fact, it was obvious that they were going to live in the textile workshop that their brother-in-law Hochul was building.
The division of labor of the Zhou family is actually obvious, and the matter of the textile workshop will focus on brother-in-law Hu Zhe and sister Zhou Luyun in the future. Brother-in-law Hochul to be exact, so they should live in the workshop.
It can be seen that Daddy Zhou Tie is very thoughtful.
The new house was built, and it cost about five hundred taels of silver. Lao Tie Zhou Tie has been enjoying it these days, walking around the house with his hands upside down all day long, and he has the posture of a rich old man.
Yes, who would have thought that in less than two years, the Zhou family would have become the richest man in Baiyue Village from a poor family who was not a poor family with a poor family? No one would have thought that a family like the Zhou family, whose ancestors had relied on digging food from the soil for generations, would come out of the show?
