More than a hundred miles away, the carriage traveled in less than two hours. At this time, the door of the Kou family was open, and Kou Peihan had already jumped off the carriage excitedly, without the reserve of a married woman at all, and shouted before entering the gate, "I'm back, I'm back!" Daddy, mother, where are you, why haven't you come out yet? ”

In the past, when Kou Peihan was at home, he often called his father and mother like this, and it was not surprising that everyone in Kou Mansion knew the temperament of this eldest lady. I hadn't heard such a voice for a while, so everyone rushed out. Although the old butler Kou Zhong said that he was older, his legs and feet were still very dexterous, and he actually ran in front.

"Oops, Miss is home, Miss is home!" He was also immersed in excitement and joy.

You must know that the Kou family is not prosperous, only Kou Tong has a son and a daughter Kou Peihan, and Kou Dagang regards Kou Peihan as a pearl in his palm. In addition, Kou Peihan has always been smart and clever at home, and there is no one in the entire Kou Mansion who does not like her, and Kou Tong regards Kou Peihan even more. The last time Kou Peihan went home should have been a month ago, and he hadn't seen the eldest lady for a month, so how could he not like it at this time?

Kou Zhong suddenly realized that his aunt should also come with him when he went home this time. My uncle went to study in the country, and he should also have a holiday. Then he asked again, "Miss, why didn't you see your uncle?" ”

Zhou Zhi had just jumped out of the car at this time, and hurriedly said, "Old housekeeper, I'm here too!" ”

As he spoke, he stepped forward to greet Kou Zhong.

Although Kou Zhong is the housekeeper of the Kou Mansion, his status is not low, and almost everyone in the Kou family respects Kou Zhong very much, including Kou Dagang, who also values Kou Zhong very much, and never treats Kou Zhong as an outsider.

Kou Zhong returned the salute with a smile and looked up and down. Although he has only been seen for a few months, Zhou Zhi's appearance seems to be a lot more handsome, and his angular face reveals a mature and stable atmosphere. Wearing a square scarf on his head and behaving well, Kou Zhong likes it in his heart.

Zhou Zhi and Kou Peihan walked directly towards the hall surrounded by everyone. Kou Zhong had already arranged for someone to drive the carriage into the courtyard and unload the gifts brought by Zhou Zhi from the carriage.

As soon as they walked to the middle of the courtyard, Kou Dagang and his wife Kou Yang had already walked out of the hall with a spring breeze on their faces and greeted them. Zhou Zhi hurriedly bowed down to Kou Dagang.

Speaking of which, this is the second time I have come to Kou's house after the wedding. I haven't seen the old man for a few months, the old man seems to be more energetic, and before Zhou Zhi kneels down, he has already hugged Zhou Zhi with a smile and said, "The virtuous son-in-law doesn't need to be polite, it's cold outside, hurry up and enter the house!" ”

Zhou Zhi then met his mother-in-law, Kou Yang, and then stepped into the hall.

As soon as you enter the hall, you will be greeted by a hot wind. The five or six large charcoal basins in the hall were burning, and Kou Dagang sat down at the top, so he asked Zhou Zhi to sit down.

Next, Kou Dagang naturally asked about Zhou Zhi's study in Guozijian, and Zhou Zhi answered them one by one. When Zhou Zhi said that he had met the crown prince Zhu Houzhao and established a friend-like relationship with Zhu Houzhao, Kou Dagang was dumbfounded.

Oh my God, my son-in-law only went to the capital for three months before he met the crown prince, this is the rhythm of soaring!

He left a good impression on Zhu Houzhao, and then Zhou Zhi passed the Jinshi examination, and he will definitely be favored by Zhu Houzhao.

The future is immeasurable, my son-in-law is really promising!

In the final analysis, it is the little girl Kou Peihan who has a vision, and she actually found such a good Lang Jun by herself. No, in the final analysis, I still have a vision, if I resolutely refused to allow their marriage, hum! The Kou family will naturally miss such a fast son-in-law.

Weng and his son-in-law talked for a while, and Kou Dagang smiled and said, "The virtuous son-in-law may still know something, and he will have good luck for his father!"

Do you remember that time when you and Kou Tong went to Xiaoshan to exterminate Ma Qianli and the bandits? That time he reported his work to the Governor's Mansion for his father, but he was only verbally commended by Guo Liang, the right governor of the rear army, but there was no real thing.

But just two months ago, Guo Liang suddenly came to the Thousand Households of the Fallen Horse Pass, and he admired the military management of the Thousand Households of the Fallen Horse Pass, and his father also mentioned the matter of Little Black Mountain by the way. Guo Liang is even more different to his father.

Some time ago, my father got the news that Guo Liang was going to be promoted to his father's official.

My father is now a thousand households, and he is a five-grade official, hehe! According to Guo Liang, his father's promotion this time is going to the capital as an official. Unexpectedly, my Kou family has been operating hard for dozens of years in the Thousand Households of Baomaguan, and finally has a result. Guo Liang saw it, and the court also saw it! ”

Speaking of the promotion, Kou Dagang was very excited, almost ignoring Zhou Zhi's expression, as if he was talking to Zhou Zhi, and as if he was talking to himself, and then said, "My father is just forty, and it is the time to make great achievements and serve the country." This time he entered Beijing as an official, although he was not necessarily a big official, but at least he was a military attache in Beijing. It can be regarded as a glorious lintel for my Kou family, worthy of the ancestors and ancestors! ”

Although Zhou Zhi was uneasy because of Guo Xun's matter, and felt that Guo Liang might be happy too early, he couldn't show it, so he could only compliment, "According to the skills of my father-in-law, I will definitely become famous if I go to the capital to be an official, and I can't say that I can finally get an official like a commander!" ”

The commander is a military attache of the second rank, and Kou Dagang is only a fifth rank official now, which is a lot of difference. However, when Kou Dagang heard Zhou Zhi say this, he didn't feel inappropriate at all, and laughed, "Mmmm! With the auspicious words of the virtuous son-in-law, if the father can command all the envoys in this life, then he will be satisfied and rewarded with great ambitions. ”

The Ming Dynasty set up a capital command and envoy in the local area, which was the highest military institution in the local area. All of them are in charge of the military, civil, and criminal departments of a province under the command of the envoys and the political envoys of the Chengxuan and the procuratorial envoys. The commander of the capital has a commander and a commander, who governs the health posts of a province, and has a lot of power.

As soon as Kou Dagang's words fell, the old housekeeper Kou Zhong entered the hall and said, "Master, when it's time for lunch, the master will invite my uncle to eat!" ”

Kou Dagang immediately stood up and said with a smile, "Hehe! There are always endless words to talk to the virtuous son-in-law, and I forgot to eat, come, virtuous son-in-law, go, follow me to eat! ”

In the dining room, a huge table of eight immortals has already been placed with cups, plates, bowls, and all kinds of delicacies. also put a good old flower carving on the altar, Kou Dagang smiled and first lifted the mud seal, Zhou Zhi hurriedly stepped forward, snatched the wine jar from his hand, and said, "Father-in-law, please sit, let the son-in-law come!" ”

At this time, Kou Yang, who was standing on the side, smiled all over his face, and said secretly, this master, where is the reason to pour wine for his son-in-law in person? You can't be like this if you love a virtuous son-in-law too much, at least the rules have to be talked about!

There were only four people sitting around the table, Kou Dagang, Kou Yang, Zhou Zhi and Kou Peihan.

Kou Tong was busy for a while in the Thousand Households of Baomaguan a year ago, so he has not returned home today.

In the old father-in-law's house, Zhou Zhi was also a lot more casual, down-to-earth and generous, and the old man Kou Dagang drank a lot of wine, and the table was an extremely peaceful and cheerful atmosphere.
