After lunch, Zhou Zhi wrapped all the books in a cloth bag and was about to go out with them in his hand. The younger brother Zhou Shaocheng ran over happily, raised his immature little face and asked, "Isn't my brother reading anymore?" ”

Since this little brother recovered from his illness, he has returned to his former liveliness in just a few days, and his body seems to be stronger, and he still has a lot of things to do.

Zhou Zhi smiled slightly, stroked his little skull and said, "Brother, I'm going to return the book and borrow some more to read." How? Does Xiaocheng also want to study? ”

The younger brother Zhou Shaocheng is six years old this year, and he will be seven years old next year to the age of Mengxue, in Zhou Zhi's mind, as his father Zhou Tie said, Zhou Zhi is a little older, and it is not suitable to go to social studies, but Xiaocheng can try to read. As long as the family lives tightly, he may be able to provide for his restraints.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Shaocheng's head immediately shook like a rattle, and he said in a decent voice, "Xiao Cheng doesn't study, and Xiao Cheng doesn't want to be an official, I want to be a rich man in this life, like the Yue family and the Chen family, or even richer than them." ”

This is not the first time that the younger brother Zhou Shaocheng has said this, and Zhou Zhi couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. Speaking of which, Xiaocheng is not wrong that he does not want to study. His arithmetic ability is quite good, if he can really learn some arithmetic, do some business, and be a rich man, it is a good choice.

Anyway, now is the era of Qingping and the prosperity of Hongzhi, and then the emperor Zhu Houzhao, who is particularly fun-loving, ascended the throne, and even the Jiajing Dynasty after him, the Ming Dynasty during this period is generally an era of stable development. It is indeed not bad to be able to enjoy a lifetime of affluent life in peace.

Zhou Zhi is different, as a traverser, how can he be willing to be mediocre, he must fight hard in this Ming Dynasty and make a difference.

The younger brother Zhou Shaocheng may be afraid that his brother Zhou Zhi will ask him to study, so he will not return it to the old master, so he hurriedly pushed Zhou Zhi up and said, "Brother, then go quickly, go quickly!" ”

Zhou Zhi was helpless and went out with a smile.

Today's social studies should be in school, but now that it is afternoon, social studies have long been out of school, so Zhou Zhi went directly to Mr. Wang's house.

It's been almost a month since I last came, and there was no change in Mr. Wang's house, and when I stood at the door of the firewood, I heard the cries of chickens and ducks inside.

Like the old master Wang Ding, the pastoral life of Chaimen Yawu and chickens and dogs is actually very enviable. Wang Ding rarely had contact with the people of Baiyue Village, as if he was out of the way.

Zhou Zhi couldn't help but sigh to himself, although Master Wang's life is not too rich, but this is actually a fairy-like day, so it seems that the old master is still a very good person at pleasure!

Knocking lightly on the wooden door of the outhouse, an old woman's voice came from inside, "Who?" ”

"It's me, Zhou Zhi boy!" Zhou Zhi hurriedly replied.

As soon as the words fell, the wooden door opened with a "squeak", and Mr. Wang's old wife, Zhang, just glanced at Zhou Zhi, then her face was gloomy, and she turned her head to leave.

Zhou Zhi was stunned for a moment, and clearly remembered that the last time he came to Wangfuzi's house, this old woman was quite kind to herself, and she even helped her carry water. Why is this so for me today?

"Is it thoughtful? In! There was no old voice coming from there.

It's just that he hasn't seen him for less than a month, and Wang Ding's voice seems to be a lot hoarse, and his bore voice is also very insufficient. Zhou Zhi didn't know why, so he smiled at the old woman anxiously and entered the back room.

But I saw that Wang Ding was covering a quilt at this time, lying on the kang head. There was no longer the small desk on the kang, and Wang Ding looked much older at this time, and his face was a little haggard.

I remember the last time I came, Wang Ding was in good spirits, very obsessed with the Three Kingdoms, and talked about sex very well.

With a stomach full of questions, Zhou Zhi bowed to Wang Ding and said, "The boy has seen the master. ”

"Hmm!" Wang Ding slowly lifted the quilt and sat up. glanced at Zhou Zhi listlessly and said, "Feel free to sit!" ”

Wang Ding looked like this, how could Zhou Zhi sit down, stand still, and asked with concern, "Isn't Master Mo sick?" If you are sick, you have to find Langzhong, and you can't delay it like this. ”

"What's wrong with the old man? The old man is not sick. Wang Ding frowned and said in a deep voice.

"That master, this is ......," Zhou Zhi asked.

"Are you here to return the book? The book doesn't have to be returned, and it's useless for the old man to ask for those. Wang Ding did not answer Zhou Zhi's question, but directly talked about the topic.

Wang Ding always has such an attitude, but it makes Zhou Zhi difficult to mention that he has to borrow books after returning them. But when he left like this, he was obviously unwilling, and when he saw the appearance of Master Wang, it seemed that he was not polite when he left. After all, although the old master is stingy, he is still quite good to himself.

Wang Ding seemed to guess Zhou Zhi's thoughts, glanced at Zhou Zhi with an expressionless face, and said, "Boy, the old man knows your thoughts, but the old man can't help you this time." Alas! Speaking of which, the last time you came to the old man's house, the old man once let you see the old man's bookcase, but the bookcase is now gone, and the old man has burned him.

The old man only has some books left to read, and those few books of the House of Mengxue are useless to you."

Zhou Zhi's brows furrowed instantly, and he secretly thought, burned? Mr. Wang loves books like his life, there are four books and five classics in the box, and there are many subsets of annotations, Mr. Wang obviously said that he would bring it to the coffin, why did he burn it? What happened here?

Wang Ding actually didn't want to talk to Zhou Zhi more, but seeing that Zhou Zhi was worried, his mind moved a little. In the final analysis, it was Zhou Zhi's eloquent talk to the Three Kingdoms last time, which made him impressed by Zhou Zhi and appreciated it very much.

He couldn't help but let out a long sigh, and said slowly, "Zhou Zhi, boy, you don't know, the last time you came to borrow a book, less than ten days after you came to borrow a book, one night the old man was asleep, and there was a sound of slamming the door outside the house, and the old man was so frightened that he couldn't help but be frightened.

Now it is the prosperous era of Qingping, and there have been no bandits in Baiyue Village for many years, and the old man still went to open the door tremblingly.

There were three people who came, all of them were sturdy men, and the old man had seen one of them, but he was not familiar with them at all. Those three people did not come to rob the money, as long as the old man did one thing, it was to burn all the books in the family, leaving only the books used by the old man in social studies teaching.

You know that the old man cherishes those books very much, and he wants to intercede with the three fierce men, but the three men say that if they don't listen to them, they want the old man's little grandson to look good.

Alas! The old man only has one little grandson, which is the old man's heart and liver, and in desperation, the old man can only burn all those books in front of them.

Thinking that although the old man was a showman, he couldn't afford to provoke them, so he had to give up, alas! This is the way of the world today, the so-called peaceful and prosperous world. ”

After Wang Ding finished speaking, he couldn't help but sigh again, as if he had lost confidence in this world.

Zhou Zhi chuckled in his heart, these three strong men are not for money, but for destroying books, so it seems that they are not coming to Old Master Wang, but to me Zhou.

What's the matter, who is going to deal with the master and hinder the master's study?

No need to ask, it must be Chen Wenju? This trick is not bad, but it shouldn't start from Old Master Wang.

Chen Wenju, the master and you are incompatible.
