Although Zhou Zhi didn't know where Lu Xingchuan's family lived, he found a farmer on the street, and it was clear after a little inquiry.

There are not many rich households in the village, and it is not like Baiyue Village, where a main street separates the poor from the rich, and in the southeast of the village, a house with a large area is Lu Xingchuan's house.

The Lu family is a blue brick courtyard wall with a water, one zhang high. The vermilion gate facing east is tightly closed, and the two huge golden characters "Lu Mansion" on the gatehouse are folded and glowing under the illumination of the winter sun.

Growing so big, Zhou Zhi really had never entered such a magnificent mansion, he couldn't help pausing slightly in front of the door, and then reached out and knocked lightly.

After a while, a gap in the door slowly opened, and a gray head slowly poked out from it, looked Zhou Zhi up and down a few times, and asked, "Who are you looking for?" ”

His voice was stiff, obviously because he was dressed shabby, and he didn't want to pay attention to it.

Zhou Zhi looked at the old man and said with a slight smile, "Old man, the kid is looking for Lu Xingchuan." ”

The old man who opened the door was originally full of folds on his face, but when he heard Zhou Zhi call the young master's name directly, the folds immediately became even deeper. His face sank, and he said, "My young master is studying, and it is inconvenient to meet guests." ”

This old man obviously looked down on people, and he didn't ask Zhou Zhi's name, let alone his origin, so he was going to close the door directly.

Zhou Zhi said secretly, Brother Lu Xingchuan is approachable, although he is the leader of the group, he has no shelf at all, he didn't expect the old servant of his family to be so powerful.

But you can't let the old servant close the door now, can you? Zhou Zhi stabilized his mood, smiled on his face, and said, "Uncle, the kid really wants to find Lu Xingchuan, isn't this the Lu family?" ”

"Why are you so verbose, let me tell you, this is the Lu family, and my young master is also at home, but he is studying now and can't see guests, you go quickly, let's go!" An angry look appeared on the old servant's face, and after speaking, he no longer paid attention to Zhou Zhi, and casually "banged" and closed the door.

Closed door, this is the real closed door, I always think about Lu Xingchuan, but when I really get to his house, I can't even enter the door.

Zhou Zhi smiled wryly.

Just about to knock on the door again, I suddenly heard someone talking in the courtyard, and the voice was very loud, "Lao Ding, who is outside the door?" ”

"Back to the master, he is a poor boy, dressed in tatters, but not short. Hum! What kind of cat and dog are going to run to the Lu family, and he doesn't pee on his own to take care of what kind of virtue he is, is this door of the Lu family a poor boy like him said to come in?

That kid also said that he had something to find the young master, and he didn't know how to call the young master's name! How could my young master recognize such a poor cub? The old slave saw that eighty percent of them were people who raised official horses, and the horses in the family might have something wrong, so they came to intercede with the young master? The old janitor chattered.

The old servant surnamed Ding practiced himself like this, which made Zhou Zhi angry. Damn! It's really a dog's eye to look down on people! What kind of servant there is, what kind of master there is, could it be that Lu Xingchuan was just dealing with it at my house that day, in fact, he was the same as this old servant surnamed Ding in his bones, looking down on the poor family?

After thinking about it, he immediately denied his thoughts, although Lu Xingchuan was born in a wealthy family, he knows how to be polite and does things in a very orderly manner, and he will definitely not be the kind of hypocrite who does one thing in front of him and one set behind his back.

The loud voice in the courtyard continued, "Well, that's how it should be, Lao Ding, my Lu family is a big family, and I must keep an eye on the door!" You can't let people in at will. ”

"Yes, sir, the old slave has written it down." The old servant surnamed Ding, who was guarding the door, answered respectfully.

Zhou Zhi heard it really at this time, and the loud voice was very familiar, it was the obese old man with high blood pressure that he met at Qiu Huichunlang's house that day, that is, Lu Xingchuan's father.

If Zhou Zhi hadn't asked Qiu Huichun to treat him with bloodletting that day, maybe he would have died of a heart attack or cerebral hemorrhage caused by high blood pressure.

Zhou Zhi shouted loudly outside the door, "Uncle Lu, it's me, you saw me at Qiu Langzhong's house that day." ”

Lu Xingchuan's father, Lu Qiusheng, was wandering around the courtyard at this time, exercising, and listening to Zhou Zhi's shouting at this time, he knew who was outside. Hurriedly stepped forward to open the door for Zhou Zhi.

Lu Qiusheng looked kind, and when he saw Zhou Zhi, he bowed deeply, and said loudly, "I don't know if the little brother arrived, how much neglect, please forgive the little brother." ”

"Uncle Lu is polite, the kid came today to find Brother Xingchuan something." Zhou Zhi hurriedly hugged Lu Qiusheng, and then said.

"Okay, please, nephew, please!" When Lu Qiusheng heard Zhou Zhi call Lu Xingchuan his brother, he immediately changed his mouth to call Zhou Zhi a virtuous nephew, which inevitably made it more cordial.

The old servant surnamed Ding, who was guarding the door, was dumbfounded when he saw this at this time. looked at Zhou Zhi blankly, and didn't know what to say for a while. The wrinkled old face suddenly turned purple like the bloodshot cockscomb.

Zhou Zhi passed in front of him calmly, not looking at him at all, as if he didn't exist at all, as if nothing had happened just now, which made him even more ashamed.

Lu Qiusheng saw that the stunned old servant surnamed Ding was still standing there, and suddenly became angry, and said, "Old Ding, what are you still doing in a daze?" Don't hurry up and report to the young master, remember, you must let the young master prepare the best tea of the Lu family to entertain the virtuous nephew. ”

The old servant surnamed Ding didn't dare to slack off, trotted through the courtyard in front, and went to the backyard study to report to Lu Xingchuan.

Lu Qiusheng and Zhou Zhi walked side by side, his body seemed to be much stronger, and he walked very steadily, and said to Zhou Zhi, "If it weren't for the virtuous nephew that day, I would have confessed to this old bone." Hehe! At that time, the virtuous nephew finally told the old man to eat less meat and do more activities in the future, and the old man was still very unhappy at that time.

I also have to listen to the words of my nephew, now my body is much tougher than before, and I feel that eating coarse tea and light rice is much sweeter than big fish and meat! ”

"Uncle Lu must also insist on exercising, at least one hour a day, so that in the long run, Uncle Lu's body will be healthier, and it is not a problem to live a long life!" Zhou Zhi said with a smile.

"Haha! You kid is really good at laughing, people live for seventy years, and the old man is nearly seventy years old, and he is content. However, the old man still has to listen to your boy's words, and this body still has to be active. ”

Lu Qiusheng was a businessman when he was young and was very talkative. The two of them just talked and laughed and walked, and they came to the backyard with little effort.

The old servant surnamed Ding reported to Lu Xingchuan, and Lu Xingchuan, like his father, hurriedly came out to greet him, just in time to meet Zhou Zhi.

Lu Xingchuan hurriedly surrendered his hand, respecting Zhou Zhi very much.

Zhou Zhi saw Lu Xingchuan, and Lu Qiusheng exchanged a few words with Zhou Zhi, telling Lu Xingchuan to treat Zhou Zhi well, and then he continued to exercise again.

The friendship between gentlemen was as light as water, and Zhou Zhi and Lu Xingchuan walked into Lu Xingchuan's study with a smile. Only then did Zhou Zhi see that there was another person in the study, who was wearing a square scarf, a green Confucian shirt, a white face, bright eyes, a few strands of white beard, and was about fifty years old.

At this time, he looked at Zhou Zhi with a smile.

Lu Xingchuan hurriedly introduced, "Brother Zhou Zhi, you may not know this benevolent brother, he is a talent in Gaochang Town, called Fan Jin. ”
