For a peaceful day, everyone is willing to live. Every day with the beloved beautiful wife, reading and composing, when the mind feels tired, I watch the little wife practice martial arts, and I also learn to exercise my body, how beautiful and comfortable such a day is.

But today is the twenty-second day of the lunar month, and such a beautiful and quiet day seems to have become a luxury for Zhou Zhi. Just after breakfast, the old servant surnamed Ding of the Lu family in Shulu Village came to Zhou Zhi's house, and he came to deliver a letter to Zhou Zhi. The literary society formed in Shulu village organizes a meeting in the afternoon. Lu Xingchuan, Fan Jin, Che Lang and others, but all those who studied in academies in other places also returned home a few days ago or yesterday like Zhou Zhi.

Everyone hasn't seen each other for a few months, and now it's a year ago, so it's natural to have a lively party. Zhou Zhi naturally couldn't shirk such a thing, so he readily agreed. The old servant surnamed Nading hurriedly went to other people's houses to inform him.

In this way, Zhou Zhi studied in the study for half a day in the morning, and his wife Han'er sat opposite with her hands on her cheeks, staring at Zhou Zhi intently, and accompanying Zhou Zhi to read. With such a great beauty beside him, Zhou Zhi's mind was clearer and his thinking was more agile, and he read two books in one morning and kept them in mind.

Now that the family is well-off, Zhou Zhi's books are still borrowed. When I went home, I borrowed a few volumes of "Spring and Autumn" annotations from Uncle Peng Ze, the prefect of Baoding, which was enough to read for a few days. Zhou Zhi had already thought about it, and went to Lu Xingchuan's house in the afternoon, presumably Lu Xingchuan got a lot of books, just borrowing them to read for a while before the next year.

As for the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, Zhou Zhi still uses the kind of small calligraphy brush that is simple and relatively rough in workmanship. Paper, naturally, you can't use the waste paper on which the old Xiucai Wang Ding has written on one side. Fortunately, I bought some paper, and my father Zhou Tie or Qi Yanwu went to the town and it was all solved, and it didn't cost a few silver.

Lunch is still a beautiful dish carefully prepared by his mother-in-law Zhou He and his wife Kou Peihan. Zhou Zhi ate lunch, and his wife Kou Peihan prepared a fresh cotton jacket and a big coat for Zhou Zhi, as well as a pair of good fresh cotton boots.

Hehe! Having a wife is different. This beautiful wife knows how hot and cold she is, and she cares about herself!

Before leaving the house, Zhou Zhi suddenly kissed Kou Peihan's delicate face, which made Kou Peihan's face blush, but he couldn't hide his joy, and Zhou Zhicai went out happily.

Although he didn't look back, Zhou Zhi could clearly feel the affectionate and fiery gaze that Kou Peihan saw behind him.

Six or seven miles away, Zhou Zhi walked.

Although the weather is still unusually cold, Zhou Zhi's pace is faster, so he doesn't feel cold much. Along the road, Zhou Zhi saw the withered yellow wheat seedlings covered by thick snow, and his heart couldn't help but be slightly shocked.

Although the weather of the Xiaoice River will only be brought into full play in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, it should be more than a hundred years away from now! But the weather of the Xiaoice River lasts for a long time, and I think it should start now.

"Ruixue Zhaofeng Year", "This winter's wheat cover is a three-layer quilt, and the next year sleeps with steamed buns." "There are not many agricultural proverbs like this. But that is definitely not relative to the Xiaoice period. Zhou Zhi thought that this winter is so cold, it is estimated that after the beginning of spring, there will be very few wheat survivors.

In this way, it seems that next year will not be a good harvest year, and it is very likely that the grain will not be harvested or the wheat will not be sown as many seeds.

But the people have to live on this field, and next year there will be no harvest, how can they survive?

You must know that many ordinary farmers are now living a life of half a year's grain with bran vegetables, and there should not be too many farmers with cornmeal and flour now. Even if there are some, they can only be eaten sparingly, and few families can eat the wheat harvest.

Thinking like this, Zhou Zhi suddenly saw the scene of the people and peasants fleeing the famine in this area. On the Shandong side and Henan side, there have long been many peasants who could not live their lives, became displaced people, and lived a life of begging.

This is his hometown, how would Zhou Zhi want to see the peasants around him leave their hometowns one by one to beg for a living?

We have to come up with a way for them to avoid a poor harvest next year and a bad life. Indeed, now the life of the Zhou family is much better, and there is some money, but there is no need to think about going to the people of the entire Gaochang Town, even the entire Baiyue Village, according to the current strength of the Zhou family, it can't be done.

Zhou Zhi is a traverser after all, although he is still just a showman, but since God has given him a second life, he must try his best to do something for the people, and it is not in vain to live this life.

If you are poor, you will be good alone, and if you are good, you will help the world. Zhou Zhi couldn't remember who said this, but the truth was true. Now I have to think more about the people in my heart.

Thinking like this all the way, when approaching the Lu family, a thought flashed in Zhou Zhi's mind.

Yes, you might as well do that.

Zhou Zhi thought that he should have come to the Lu family early today, but as soon as he entered the study of Lu Xingchuan's house, he saw Che Lang, Fan Jin, and Qiu Haolan. While they were greeting each other, Wei Haogu and Feng Mao also came in at the same time.

In this way, it seems that the members of the Wenhui are all together.

As for Yue Shuzhen, although he is also a member of the Literary Society, there seems to be a little disharmony between him and everyone. Although Yue Shuzhen changed later, everyone didn't like him very much in their hearts, so they excluded him.

But the seven of them had just sat down in the study, and the best Yashan tea had not yet been drunk twice, but Yue Shuzhen came uninvited.

Yue Shuzhen came in with a smile, not feeling embarrassed at all, and greeted everyone warmly one by one.

Obviously, his attitude towards Zhou Zhi is slightly different from others, and Zhou Zhi can clearly feel Yue Shuzhen's reverence for himself.

After everyone sat down, Yue Shuzhen first talked about what he had seen and read in the Lianchi Academy in Baoding Mansion, and then took out a few articles for everyone to review.

In fact, the purpose of today's gathering is to talk about literature and Taoism is only secondary, the most important thing is that everyone will not see each other for a long time, but to contact each other and deepen friendship.

However, since Yue Shuzhen took out the article, everyone simply took a closer look.

Zhou Zhi read his article and was surprised.

The level of Yue Shuzhen's articles has obviously improved a lot compared with before. In just a few months, he has been able to make such progress, which is really impressive.

Even Che Lang is full of praise.

The crowd complimented them, and then expressed their opinions. In fact, everyone is studying hard these days, and they are actively preparing for next year's township exam, and the progress is not small. Speaking of which, everyone finally talked about Zhou Zhi.

Fan Jin said, "In the past few months, I and several others have been studying in academies in various places, but only Zhou Zhixian's brother went to the capital Guozijian. In the old man's opinion, no matter how much progress we have made, it is not as good as Brother Zhou Zhixian, so I asked Brother Zhou Zhixian to take out the article and let everyone comment on it. ”
