Xu Pu finally said, "Zhou Zhi, you have rejected the current saint, although the saint is an enlightened king, those villains around the saint will definitely make a fuss about this matter in the future." So in the old man's opinion, it is absolutely stupid for you to refuse the emperor.

After all, the old man is a person who loves talents, and from the first time he saw you, he admired you very much, and you and I can be regarded as fate!

Although the old man is no longer an official in the court, the old man also has some protégés and former officials, and there are also a few people who have a good relationship, and the old man will let them help you slowly clear your bad impression in the emperor's heart in the future.

But at the end of the day, it's up to you.

Thoughtful, let's do it for yourself! ”

Zhou Zhi immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Xu Pu. Yes, Xu Pu can be described as painstakingly for himself, how can he repay himself for helping himself like this? Only in the future, after the success of the imperial examination, he will flourish in the officialdom and do more beneficial things for the court and the people.

Xu Pu finally laughed, and said again, "Get up, the old man can trust you, you will definitely become a pillar of the Ming Dynasty in the future!" ”

With Xu Pu's earnest teachings and Xu Pu's hope, Zhou Zhi came out of Xu Pu's house. Qi Yanwu followed behind Zhou Zhi, seeing Zhou Zhi's solemn expression, he didn't dare to ask Zhou Zhi what happened, so the two of them quickly returned to Guozijian.

I'm going to leave the country tomorrow and go home. Zhou Zhi went to resign from Siye Zhuge again. During his time in Guozijian, Si Ye Zhuge still took care of himself. Zhuge did not stop Zhou Zhi's departure, but just told Zhou Zhi to study hard in the future, and he could get a good result in this year's autumn and next year's spring.

During Zhou Zhi's time in Guozijian, the relationship with Guozijian and Guozijian Cheng Minzheng has always been very ordinary. But because he got Xu Pu's teachings today, Zhou Zhi benefited a lot, so before leaving, he still had to visit Cheng Minzheng.

Cheng Minzheng was obviously surprised by Zhou Zhi's arrival. But he quickly calmed down. In Cheng Minzheng's mind, although Zhou Zhi resigned from the prince's companionship, this does not mean that Zhou Zhi must have fallen out of favor with the emperor and queen, and it does not mean that Zhou Zhi's future is ruined.

He knew all too well that Zhou Zhi had a talent.

In the future, Zhou Zhi's achievements will certainly not be small. Although there may be more stumbles in Zhou Zhi's future, there is a good saying that gold will shine wherever it goes.

Zhou Zhi is bound to have a shining day.

Although I didn't have much closeness with Zhou Zhi before, it is good to try my best to keep the relationship between the two parties good, or go further. Therefore, Cheng Minzheng was extremely enthusiastic about Zhou Zhi, and Zhou Zhi was a little flattered.

I didn't expect that at the end, I could talk to Cheng Minzheng once, and Zhou Zhixin was much happier.

The content of Cheng Minzheng and Zhou Zhi's conversation is nothing more than all kinds of encouragement to Zhou Zhi, so that after Zhou Zhi goes home, he will work hard to understand and strive to go to the next level in writing articles, and even become a family on his own.

Later, Zhou Zhi went to visit several teachers in Guozijian. For example, Mr. Arithmetic Xing Hong must go. Although Zhou Zhi basically did not take Xing Hong's class in Guozijian, Xing Hong still held Zhou Zhi very highly. Zhou Zhi went this time, and Xing Hong even took out a few questions that he didn't understand to ask Zhou Zhi.

As a traversal who came from later generations, such as the question raised by Xing Hong at this time, it is very simple here in Zhou Zhi. Zhou Zhi naturally knew everything and said everything, which broadened Xing Hong's horizons a lot.

Xing Hong said, "Zhou Zhi, if you have arithmetic problems as a teacher in the future, I will have to ask you for advice by letter." ”

"Hehe, don't talk like this, Zhou Zhi just suddenly became enlightened in his dream and learned some arithmetic. If the teacher has a problem, Zhou Zhi will also rack his brains and try his best to help. Let's make progress together! Zhou Zhi said very humbly.

Yes, Zhou Zhi is talking about humility. There is no way, Xing Hong's arithmetic problems can indeed be solved here in Zhou Zhi, so it seems to be very humble.

Zhou Zhi was so busy all afternoon, and finally it was evening.

Guozijian no longer has anything to be nostalgic for, Zhou Zhiyi and Qi Yanwu took the luggage, left Guozijian one after the other, and went directly to the inn where Kou Peihan stayed.

Kou Peihan has not come back at this time, and I don't know how long the Empress Dowager will keep her today. Hehe! Who made the Empress Dowager particularly fond of Kou Peihan, the righteous granddaughter.

The two entered the inn, and Qi Yanwu went to Zhang Xi and Zhang Zi's room. Qi Yanwu always comes to the inn every once in a while, if it was said that it was to serve his sister-in-law Kou Peihan before, but now it is different, Qi Yanwu came to the inn to a large extent to see Zhang Zi.

Of course, he and Zhang Zi actually didn't have anything to say, just to ask Zhang Zi what martial arts he practiced, and after asking them clearly, he also asked Zhang Zi about his daily martial arts practice. always repeats a few words, but Qi Yanwu doesn't mean to get bored at all.

The strange thing is that Zhang Zi is not bored, and looks forward to Qi Yanwu coming to see her every day. After going back and forth like this, Qi Yanwu didn't come for a day, and Zhang Zi seemed to have lost something.

Regarding the matter between his daughter Zhang Zi and Qi Yanwu, Zhang Xi is a person who has come over, so he naturally sees it clearly and understands the meaning. Through his secret observation of Qi Yanwu in the past few days, Zhang Xi seems to like Qi Yanwu very much, so he just let the affairs of the two of them go and does not interfere arbitrarily.

In Zhang Xi's mind, in fact, it is very good that his daughter Zhang Zi can find a young man with a righteous heart like Qi Yanwu. learned from Kou Peihan that the Zhou family was actually a harmonious family, and Zhang Xi was even more content.

He had almost already thought that after he went to the Zhou family, he would work hard and serve the master and the housewife.

Zhang Xi and Zhang Zi's father and daughter were overjoyed when they heard that Young Master Zhou Zhi was going home tomorrow. There's really no need to stay in the capital. This place is a place where the rich and the poor have no place to live, and it is also a sad place. According to their current status, they are groveling in the capital and have no dignity for survival.

If you want to come to the capital again in the future, you must come with dignity and come with your head held high.

It's time for dinner, Kou Peihan hasn't come back yet, and Zhou Zhi concluded that the Empress Dowager is going to leave her wife Han'er in Qingning Palace for dinner. So Zhou Zhi asked Qi Yanwu to go to the inn to order food, and the four of them sat around the table to eat.

According to the thoughts of Zhang Xi and Zhang Zi's father and daughter, they didn't dare to share the table with Young Master Zhou Zhi. But under the strong pull of Zhou Zhi, he had to follow it. As for Qi Yanwu, in fact, he can always put himself in the right position and not eat at the same table with Zhou Zhi. But today is different, this is the moment for Zhang Xi and Zhang Zi to get acquainted with Brother Zhou Zhi. Let's just break the rules for an unprecedented time.

At the beginning of the meal, it was silent, and Zhang Xi and Zhang Zi hardly dared to look up. But in the end, under the influence of Zhou Zhi's talk and laughter, and he did not pretend to be the master at all, the atmosphere was much more harmonious, and he talked and laughed.

However, Zhang Xi and Zhang Zi's father and daughter are smart people, they have already thought about it, this is the first time to eat with Young Master Zhou Zhi, and it is also the last time. In the future, we must uphold the rules of the subordinates. The young master exalted himself, but he couldn't get carried away and lose his sense of proportion!

Moreover, Zhang Xi and Zhang Zi's father and daughter like Zhou Zhi even more. They thought more clearly that the Zhou family must be a good family. They found a family like the Zhou family, which seemed to be a blessing they had cultivated in this life.

Just after dinner, Kou Peihan laughed coquettishly outside the door, "It's so lively today, I knew that Xianggong was here!" ”

Laughing and walking into the room.

Kou Peihan's mood today was obviously very good, and sure enough, as soon as she saw Zhou Zhi's face, she gently raised her jade arm and said, "Xianggong, please see, this is the Empress Dowager's reward for Han'er." ”

On the white and flawless jade arm was a shining bracelet, shining yellow-orange-orange under the illumination of the light.

Zhou Zhi opened his mouth in front of Qi Yanwu, Zhang Xi, and Zhang Zi and said, "It's good-looking!" ”

"There's one more on this hand!" Kou Peihan raised his other arm in the same air, as if he liked this bracelet very much.

"The Empress Dowager said that this was rewarded to her by Emperor Tianshun, and she was in a very good mood today, so she simply rewarded Han'er. The Empress Dowager said that she must keep the bracelet for the rest of her life, and when she saw this bracelet, she thought of the Empress Dowager! Kou Peihan's face turned pale and said.

OMG! Emperor Tianshun gave the Empress Dowager something to his wife, Han'er. Needless to say, today Han'er didn't know how much it took to talk and think about it to make the Queen Mother happy.

You know, the Queen Mother was in a bad mood at the beginning of today.

She was very dissatisfied with the emperor and empress for blaming Zhou Zhi and wanting to cut off Zhou Zhi's head. I also disagree with the way the emperor and the queen educate the crown prince Zhu Houzhao.

Well! It's still her own Han'er, she just has such scheming and ability. Hehe! Speaking of which, if it weren't for Han'er today, he would have been castrated by Wu Jing's dead eunuch, not to mention, and his head would have been cut off.

In this way, I am always touching my wife's light.

Thinking like this, Zhou Zhi's gaze was a little blazing when he looked at his wife Han'er.

Kou Peihan could naturally clearly feel Zhou Zhi's affectionate gaze, and couldn't help but blush. Zhang Xi, Zhang Zi and Qi Yanwu naturally exited the room with great interest. At this time, Zhou Zhigang was about to open his mouth to tell Kou Peihan about returning home tomorrow.

Unexpectedly, Kou Peihan smiled lightly at Zhou Zhi and said, "Didn't my husband say that we would go home tomorrow, right?"

The Empress Dowager had already told Han'er today that the prime minister might go home. Although the Empress Dowager lives in the palace, she actually knows a lot about the prime minister. The Empress Dowager also told Han'er that she should be a husband and not think too much about today's events.

Today's emperor is the king of the Holy Ming, as long as the prince studies hard in the future and succeeds in the imperial examination, he can also make great achievements! ”

Zhou Zhi couldn't help but secretly admire in his heart. People grow old and become fine, this is true at all. The Empress Dowager doesn't seem to care about anyone in the court, and she doesn't care about the affairs of the world. But in fact, her eyes are still very effective, and her insight into people's hearts is also very powerful.

In a word, this time Han'er came to the capital with herself, which helped her too much, and it seems that the connections she has made now will also be of great benefit to her future.

Hehe! It is a blessing to have a wife like this!

Zhou Zhi stayed in the inn for the night. Kou Peihan took advantage of the night time to simply pack his luggage.

Early the next morning, Qi Yanwu went out early to hire two carriages, and Zhou Zhi and the others left the inn and left the capital.

The carriage drove out of the capital, Zhou Zhi gently lifted the curtain, looked back, and said secretly, Beijing, I Zhou Zhi will definitely come back.

Zhou Zhi even thought that when he returned to the capital again, he couldn't be like this.

There was nothing to say all the way, and five days later, Zhou Zhi returned to Zhou's house in Baiyue Village.

Zhou Tong, the house slave who guarded the door, saw that Young Master Zhou Zhi was back, and he almost didn't even say hello to Zhou Zhi, so he shouted happily and ran in to report.

Father Zhou Tie, mother Zhou He, and sister Zhou Luyun all came out. Zhou Luyun originally helped in the textile workshop opened by the Zhou family. Because the current textile workshop is on the right track under the management of Ho Chul, not to mention, the amount of silver earned every month is really a lot. Hochul's business talents were put to good use.

In a word, the current textile workshop is operating well. Sister Zhou Luyun actually doesn't play much role in the workshop.

Moreover, my sister Zhou Luyun is now three months pregnant, and Hu Zhe is the only child in the family, so he attaches more importance to his sister's body. So he didn't let Zhou Luyun help.

It is worth mentioning that the younger brother Zhou Shaocheng worked as a bookkeeper in the textile workshop, and also followed his brother-in-law Hu to do a lot of business, and he gradually participated in the operation and management of the textile workshop. The performance is very good, and he is also very talented.

Hehe! In this way, the younger brother Zhou Shaocheng is not very far away from his great ideal of being a rich man.

Zhou Tie looked at Zhou Zhi and his daughter-in-law Kou Peihan with a smile, and his heart was indescribably happy. was about to speak, but it was not as fast as his mother's mouth Zhou He's.

Zhou He said, "I thought you would come back after the Mid-Autumn Festival, but I miss my mother very much!" Count the days at home. Who would have thought that he would come back almost two months before the Mid-Autumn Festival.

It's better to come back now, and my mother's heart is completely down-to-earth! ”

Zhou He chattered happily, and seemed to glance at Kou Peihan's stomach inadvertently. Kou Peihan naturally noticed it immediately, and that pretty face turned red instantly. It's really strange to say, Zhou Zhi and Kou Peihan have been married for nearly a year, but Kou Peihan's stomach has not reacted at all, how can this not make his mother Zhou He anxious.

In the end, it is natural to talk about Zhang Xi and Zhang Zi's father and daughter, Zhou Zhi explained the original situation and plan in detail, and Zhou Tie and Zhou He were even more happy.

"The Zhou family is now in a big business, and it is when there is a shortage of manpower, your father and daughter will live in the Zhou family, as long as the Zhou family has a stutter, they will never starve you!"

Zhang Xi and Zhang Zi's father and daughter are naturally grateful and very happy.

The family was happy, talking and laughing, and walked towards the courtyard.
