Zhou Zhi came out of the mansion, and Qi Yanwu was still waiting for him. Qi Yanwu's little face was flushed, and he was very excited, and when he saw Zhou Zhi, he said with a smile, "Brother rode a white horse on the street today, so majestic!" My brother won the first case this time, and I can't tell how happy the family will be. Our Zhou family will really be a scholar from now on! Xiao Wu is really happy! ”

He followed closely behind Zhou Zhi, almost bouncing back to the Peak Inn with Zhou Zhi. From the morning to the present, he just ate something early in the morning, and Zhou Zhi was hungry until now, so Qi Yanwu naturally didn't eat anything.

Zhou Zhi was also full of joy today, he won the first place in the Dao test, and finally became a student of Yang Yiqing, and his heart was always in a state of excitement. At this time, on the way back to the inn, I felt my stomach growl.

It's getting late today, and I can't go home, so I have to wait until tomorrow. Just arrived at the Dengfeng Inn, the innkeeper led a group of guys to stand at the door, saw Zhou Zhi, immediately greeted him with a smile, and said happily, "The little one welcomes the head of Zhou!" The head of the Zhou case settled in my inn, which really made the small inn flourish! Today, the little one is happy for Zhou, and specially prepared a table of thin wine to celebrate Zhou's success, and hopes that Zhou's head can enjoy the light! ”

This Dengfeng inn is not a big inn in the whole Baoding Mansion, but it is clean and tidy everywhere. Since Zhou Zhi and others lived in this inn, they have hardly seen the shopkeeper. Today's shopkeeper's personal greeting, which shows that Zhouzhi's reputation has resounded throughout Baoding Mansion, and everyone knows it.

The shopkeeper's hospitality was difficult to resist, and Zhou Zhi and Qi Yanwu had no choice but to follow him to the dining room on the second floor.

Zhou Zhi then instructed Qi Yanwu to invite Lu Xingchuan, Fan Jin, and Che Lang up. The four of them sat around the table, and the shopkeeper's face was full of spring breeze, and the guys quickly served sumptuous wine and food.

Zhou Zhi originally wanted to greet the shopkeeper to drink together, but the shopkeeper said with a red face, "Don't hide it from Zhou, the small Dengfeng Inn takes your light, and the small one has a reluctant invitation, and the small one wants to put up a lantern tonight to celebrate your high school case."

Of course, the small one is also a little selfish, and the small one also wants to publicize my summit inn by the way. ”

Zhou Zhi didn't understand his thoughts, but the shopkeeper was quite sincere. He is a businessman, in business, where will he do business at a loss? Undoubtedly, he wanted to use his reputation to promote the Ascending Inn, and then raised the price.

However, with his own case, even if he raises the price of the hotel, it will be overcrowded every day.

After all, at this time, the people of the Ming Dynasty were still very superstitious, and some people did not believe that Zhou Zhicai was outstanding in learning, and he relied on real talent to get the first place in the case. It is possible for them to think from the thoughtful eating, drinking, sheltering, and transportation.

Zhou Zhi smiled indifferently and went with him.

Qi Yanwu had already asked the guy to get some food in a corner. Zhou Zhi and the other four people were pushing the cup and changing the lamp, which was not very happy.

Life must be happy, don't make the gold bottle empty to the moon.

The four of them drank from late evening until late at night. Fan Jin, Lu Xingchuan and Che Lang were already drunk, Zhou Zhirao was very drunk, and he was also swaying from side to side, and he was carried by Qi Yanwu before going downstairs and returning to the room.

On the second day, he slept until the third pole of the sun, and woke up with wine.

He Fan Jin, Lu Xingchuan and others hired two carriages, came out of the inn, and went directly back to Qingdu County.

A day later, the carriage arrived in Gaochang Town, Fan Jin got out of the car, and several people said that they would meet often in the future to make progress together. Now that the members of the Wenhui are all talents, everyone has to see next year's township examination, and they must hurry up to study and communicate with each other.

Then Che Lang went home, and when the car arrived at the entrance of Baiyue Village, Zhou Zhi and Qi Yanwu got out of the car. The carriage had to send Lu Xingchuan home before he could return.

Zhou Zhi and Qi Yanwu walked all the way east along the street that ran through the east and west of Baiyue Village, and from time to time they saw acquaintances on the street, and those villagers came over to say hello in a hurry.

"Zhou Xiucai is back, Zhou Xiucai is back!"

The crowd shouted, which attracted more people to come out and watch.

There is such a characteristic in the countryside, and everyone knows that everything that is a big fart has to be shouted about. Besides, Zhou Zhi won the first test this time, Xiao Sanyuan! It shook Baiyue Village even more.

Seeing these villagers talking like this, Zhou Zhi secretly said, needless to say, the family already knew. The drummers in Baoding Mansion are no worse than those in the county, and they have already gone to their homes to report the good news.

Zhou Zhi was happy all the way, greeted everyone very humbly, and walked home quickly.

Sure enough, as soon as he arrived at the door, Zhou Zhi was stunned.

Daddy Zhou Tiezheng and seven or eight craftsmen demolished the courtyard wall of their house, and even began to demolish the house. Even the workshop in the back that made vermicelli and the like was also cleaned up and ready to be dismantled.

Zhou Tie saw Zhou Zhi and shouted excitedly, "you, Xiao Zhi is back, our show is back!" ”

Mother-in-law Zhou He, sister Zhou Luyun and brother-in-law Hu Zhe were originally cleaning up the few remaining clutter in the room. They took out all the miscellaneous items and placed them about seventy or eighty meters away from the old house. Zhou Zhi saw that a few shacks had been erected there, which was the temporary residence of his family.

The Zhou family and Aunt Li's family were adjacent to each other, and Aunt Li's family was killed by bandits in Xiaoshan because Wang Ren was killed by bandits in Xiaoshan and died in the fire. Aunt Li simply took her son Wang Fatun to her daughter's house in Qingdu County. Daddy Zhou Tie simply made peace with the central people, and bought all the foundations of Aunt Li's house last year.

The neighbor Aunt Li's family because his daughter married into a wealthy family in Qingdu County, Aunt Li's family had a really good life. Their family's original mansion was more than twice as large as the Zhou family's.

Zhou Tie spent money to buy their house foundation, so that the house foundation that the Zhou family now has is much larger.

Zhou He, the mother-in-law, and the sister-in-law and brother-in-law hurriedly came out of the house, and Zhou He said first, "We learned the news that Xiao Zhi won the case as early as late yesterday night. Hehe! This time, there are several people who came to our Zhou family to report the good news, some from the government and some from the county. It was a scene more pompous than the first two trumpeters who came to announce the good news.

For the mother, I sent the happy money and went out for three taels of silver!

Three taels of silver is a lot, but for the sake of my mother's heart, our Zhou family is finally going to raise their eyebrows. ”

As soon as Zhou He finished speaking, Daddy Zhou Tie said, "Isn't this that Daddy has been busy all the time, Xiaozhi has passed the Xiucai exam, and our Zhou family is going to change the door." This old house can no longer be lived, and our Zhou family is going to build a big mansion this time, like the Yue family.

Our Zhou family has been poor for several lifetimes, but it is still small enough for our Zhou family to have today! ”
