Fan Jin immediately smiled and said, "The old man has naturally heard of the Kou family in Tang County. The Kou family in Tang County is indeed a big family, but Zhou Zhixian's brother doesn't know that there is no one in the Kou family who reads.

It is said that the Kou family in Tang County had a Kou Shen because of the Yongle period, and he was born in the county at first, and later made up for the bachelor's degree, and then Kou Shen was an official in many places, he was good at judging and doubting prisons, and he was known as "Kou Shenming". In Tang County, Baoding Mansion was even famous in the court of the Orthodox Jingtai period.

But after that, the Kou family no longer studied, but took the path of martial arts. Today, Kou Dagang of the Kou family is one of the thousands of households in the Fallen Horse Pass, and is highly valued by the imperial court.

As far as the old man knows, Kou Dagang has a son and a daughter, and the son's name is Kou Tong, who made a hundred households at the age of twenty, and is quite famous in Tang County, and he is also a young hero.

Kou Dagang's daughter, the old man has also heard of it. Her daughter's name was Kou Peihan, and she was very handsome. However, although Kou Peihan is a pampered woman, she also practices martial arts, can shoot a good arrow, and has the reputation of being a 100-step marksman. ”

What Zhou Zhi wants to listen to is this result, as for whether the Kou family is a scholar or not, Zhou Zhi doesn't care. What he cared about was what kind of family the Kou family in Tang County was.

Now it is clear, the beautiful woman is undoubtedly called Kou Peihan, and she is the queen of the authentic famous family.

Thinking like this, Zhou Zhi couldn't help but look a little dull, Fan Jin smiled, "What? Could it be that the Kou family of Tang County, recognized by Zhou Zhixian's brother, if he met such a big family, it would be an honor for me! ”

Zhou Zhi's face couldn't help but turn red, and he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Where?" How could the younger brother recognize such a big family. The farthest place for the younger brother is to Gaochang Town, and he doesn't know much about it, just curious. ”

Fan Jincai laughed a few times and didn't ask.

The four of them chatted in the study for a while, and finally decided that Fan Jin would slowly recruit people for this meeting. After all, such a thing cannot be rushed, and the people recruited must be talented and learned, and more importantly, they must be like-minded.

After that, Lu Xingchuan and others asked Zhou Zhi about the progress of his current reading, and Zhou Zhi said that there was only one volume of "The Book of Rites" that had not yet been read, and the three of them were surprised. The speed of reading is also too fast. Then I thought that Zhou Zhi had the ability to read with his eyes, and it was reasonable to read so quickly.

Zhou Zhi borrowed some books from Lu Xingchuan's house, with various annotations on the Four Books and Five Classics, as well as "The Book of Filial Piety", "Zuo Chuan", "Ram Biography", "Gu Liang Biography" and so on. These books naturally do not need to be memorized, but they must also be read by heart. It has a wide range of knowledge, and it is credible to do eight strands of literature in the future.

Anyway, Lu Xingchuan's family has a lot of books, and Zhou Zhi can borrow as much as he wants, and Lu Xingchuan is very happy.

After having lunch at Lu Xingchuan's house, Zhou Zhi wrapped the book and carried it home.

At this time, the sun is booming, although it is the weather in the wax moon, the body is warm.

Zhou Zhi walked out of Shulu Village and just walked on the official road leading to Baiyue Village, and a carriage came from the opposite side, which seemed to be heading towards Gaochang Town, so Zhou Zhi flashed to the side of the road. Unexpectedly, the carriage suddenly stopped beside Zhou Zhi, and then jumped out of the carriage a man dressed in a long robe and a lambskin black cloth coat on the outside.

This life has a straight nose and a square mouth, a thoughtful appearance, a literary atmosphere all over his body, and a brand-new square scarf on his head, which is obviously a showman. He is not tall, he is shorter than Zhou Zhi, and his age is similar to Zhou Zhi.

The man took two steps forward and shouted at Zhou Zhi, "You are Zhou Zhi, the boy of the Zhou family in Baiyue Village, right?" ”

Such a very literate Xiucai spoke very arrogantly, Zhou Zhi couldn't help but be stunned, but still said, "Yes, my name is Zhou Zhi, I don't know what happened to this brother?" ”

The man's head was raised, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he said, "What's the matter?" Naturally, something happened. You probably don't know who Young Master Ben is, do you? ”

He opened his mouth to be this young master, obviously the person who came was not good, but Zhou Zhi still said patiently, "Forgive the kid for being clumsy, the kid really doesn't know this brother." ”

"Humph! It doesn't hurt to tell you, this young master is the 'Qingdu prodigy' Cheng Dingbang. Cheng Dingbang said with a look of anger and arrogance.

As soon as he was at Lu Xingchuan's house, Fan Jin once mentioned this "Qingdu prodigy" Cheng Dingbang, who was admitted to Xiucai at the age of seventeen.

Fan Jin said that he was very arrogant, and it was indeed the case when he saw it today. But this guy doesn't seem to be like his brother Cheng Dingye, and he brings up his old son Cheng Ke at every turn. It seems that he feels that he is very famous, and he doesn't need to pull up the tiger skin of his father Cheng Ke at all.

Zhou Zhi thought like this in his heart, although he was very displeased with Cheng Dingbang, he still felt that there was no need to offend him, so he hurriedly arched his hand and said, "It turned out to be a prodigy Cheng Xiucai, disrespectful and disrespectful!" ”

Cheng Dingbang pursed his lips with disdain.

Seeing his appearance, Zhou Zhi remembered Chen Wenju, this guy seems to have the same virtue as Chen Wenju, but his appearance is much more positive than that of Chen Wenju.

Cheng Dingbang said with a cold face, "Zhou Zhi boy, I heard that in the past two days, there have been distinguished guests in Lu Xingchuan's house, all of whom are talented people in Jiangnan, some are talented, and some are lifted, even the old dog Fan Jinfan in Gaochang Town was invited by him.

Hum! How can I say that Fan Jin is also a showman, and if he goes, he will go.

Oops, I wondered, what kind of bird do you say Zhou Zhi is? A poor ghost in the countryside has only been reading a book for a few days, and if you have any knowledge and follow to join in the fun, don't you have a little shame? ”

Cheng Dingbang's words were disrespectful, and Zhou Zhi's anger surged, and he immediately lowered his face and said, "Cheng Dingbang, right?" I'm going to read books for a few days every week to join in the fun, I guess it's none of your business, right? Is it in the way of your eggs? ”

Cheng Dingbang immediately said angrily, "The poor ghost in the countryside really speaks rudely, isn't this show good for you?"

Isn't it good to see the vegetables you grow in winter? Although the price is more expensive, it is very fresh after all, and if you grow your vegetables well, won't your family's life get better and better?

Fooling around with them all day long, can you make a name for yourself? It can only delay your family's life, right?

Ben Xiucai listened to my brother Chen Wenju say What kind of talent do you want to take the exam, what kind of talent do you want to take? Is that kind of spring and autumn dream also something you can do? It's really a dog biting Lu Dongbin, I don't know the hearts of good people! ”

Zhou Zhi's eyes were cold, and he said, "I'll tell you today, this Qingdu prodigy, I not only want to grow good vegetables, but also take the Xiucai and Jinshi exams, just to have such a big dream in the Spring and Autumn Festival." ”

Cheng Dingbang smiled dumbly and said, "Oops! Yes! If you have ambition, this prodigy will see when you can get a show in the exam.

Chen Wenju is not bad, you kid just don't know that the sky is high and the earth is thick, and he has a hard mouth and an ambitious heart. You were born to be a farmer, but a toad wants to eat swan meat.

By the way, there will be a small test in the spring of the following year, and this prodigy is waiting to see if you can take a show before coming out? ”

After that, he ignored Zhou Zhi no more, and got into the carriage, and the carriage drove away.

Zhou Zhi was in a very comfortable mood today, but he suddenly jumped out of Cheng Dingbang, and such an incident forced him to feel angry. This Cheng Dingbang and Chen Wenju are the same kind of goods, as if they are both dirty villains who can't see the good of others. Zhou Zhi couldn't help but glared at the distant carriage a few times, but then his mood relaxed.

Yan Que knows the ambition of the bird, a small character like Cheng Dingbang is a fart, and it is not worth it to be angry with such a person.

However, the small exam in the year after tomorrow must be tested before it comes out.

Zhou Zhi immediately carried the heavy package and strode home.

Cheng Dingbang got into the carriage and smiled at Chen Wenju and Li Shun in the carriage, "Brother Wenju, do you see it?" I was so angry with that kid just now. But seeing that cub does look like he has some ambition, I can't underestimate him, especially your Wenju virtuous brother, this book should be read quickly!

And don't let that kid really pass the exam, but you won't pass the exam! ”
