Qingdu County is only more than 100 miles away from Zhendingfu, and Dingzhou is on the border of Zhendingfu, not far from Qingdu County. In this way, Zhou Zhi and Liu Wenhuan are fellow countrymen.

As the saying goes, when a fellow sees a fellow, his eyes are full of tears. What's more, this is in the capital, and the two of them are not familiar with each other.

Zhou Zhi saw that Liu Wenhuan looked Zhou Zheng, and he was very humble between his eyebrows, and his clothes were not as bright as Xu Kuibi, Guo Xun, Jiang Lian and others. In one word now, Liu Wenhuan is very simple.

Whether it is Zhou Zhi in later generations, or after the crossing, Zhou Zhi has lived in the countryside since he was a child, and he is very cordial to such a naturally simple person, and he is very enthusiastic about talking with Liu Wenhuan for a while.

Zhou Zhi took a closer look and learned that Liu Wenhuan was also like himself, his family was poor, and his ancestors were honest farmers. Liu Wenhuan has loved reading since he was a child, first in social studies, because of the good writing of articles, he was appreciated by his husband. was recommended by my husband to go to a school to continue studying.

When taking the Xiucai exam, Liu Wenhuan took the second place in the Zhending Mansion and was praised by Tang Xijie, the prefect of the Zhending Mansion. As a result, he got in touch with Tang Xijie. After Liu Wenhuan was successfully admitted to the juren, Tang Xijie took care of the relationship at the beginning of this year's spring and recommended Liu Wenhuan to study in Guozijian.

Speaking of which, Liu Wenhuan met a nobleman. When Liu Wenhuan mentions Tang Xijie now, he is full of gratitude to Tang Xijie, as if he remembers his kindness.

The two soon hit it off and had a good conversation. So much so that Guo Xun and the others passed by them, and neither of them noticed it at all.

It was noon, anyway, the canteen was very crowded now, and Zhou Zhibian simply told Liu Wenhuan about his situation.

Liu Wenhuan said with a straight face, "This country is indeed a place full of talents. Brother Zhou Zhixian took the small three yuan exam in Baoding Mansion, but he couldn't relax a little. In fact, there are not many talents like Zhou Zhixian's brother in this country, except for the nobles who do not have any meritorious families, almost all of them are lifted.

When it comes to reading and writing, they obviously have more books than their virtuous brothers, and they have a wide range of experience. Hehe, in a word, if you want to make a name for yourself in this country, Rao is a virtuous brother is very smart, but he also needs to work day and night, and work hard! ”

In fact, Zhou Zhi knew this situation very well. He is only a small three yuan in Baoding Mansion, but in the Guozi Prison, he is almost more than half of the talents in the whole world, and compared with them at his current level, he is far behind.

If it is said that it is difficult to take the exam, then it is even more difficult to take the exam, and then to be admitted to the Jinshi.

Zhou Zhi nodded heavily and said, "Little brother wrote it down." ”

"Huh! Speaking of which, these nobles in the Guozi Prison are not good things. They look down on us rednecks. The one named Guo Xun seems to have only come today, but Xu Kuibi and Jiang Lun have been studying here for two years.

They are arrogant and domineering, relying on the power of their families to bully people in this country. When my brother first came, he was also bullied a lot by them. The virtuous brothers should only study hard, and should not worry about their affairs.

However, they also have people who are afraid here, and Lord Cheng Minzheng is their nemesis, and in front of Lord Sacrificial Wine, they don't even dare to come out of the atmosphere. At the time of the examination, the priest had the power to kill and kill, and if they failed, they could not go out of the country. ”

Liu Wenhuan is like a talkative person. Maybe it's because he doesn't have any friends in the Guozi Prison and has little communication with anyone, in short, it's not over with Zhou Zhi now.

The two slowly walked out of Chongzhi Hall, passed through Jingyi Pavilion, and talked as they walked. Liu Wenhuan said again, "Today, Lord Siye Zhuge is teaching, but my brother can see that he is very concerned about you!" ”

The relationship between his mentor Yang Yiqing and Siye Zhuge Hou, Zhou Zhi naturally couldn't talk to Liu Wenhuan at this time, but just smiled faintly and said, "Maybe Mr. Zhuge didn't write well in the little brother's article, so he paid attention to the little brother!" ”

Liu Wenhuan did not comment. After he finished writing the article, he did glance at the thoughtful article a few times, and the article was actually okay, but Liu Wenhuan thought that there was still a gap between himself and his own article. Liu Wenhuan's scripture is "Zhou Yi", and he has a deep study.

In front of the students' accommodations, many students had already finished eating, and Qi Yanwu and Xiao Li Feng were standing in the courtyard anxiously waiting for Zhou Zhi. Seeing Zhou Zhi, the two hurriedly ran over. Seeing that Zhou Zhi and Liu Wenhuan were talking, it was inconvenient for them to speak, and they were still waiting obediently.

"Huh! Brother Zhou Zhixian, go and eat, you and I will come to the future! Liu Wenhuan finally said.

Zhou Zhi followed Qi Yanwu and Xiao Li Feng into the dining hall.

It was only now that Zhou Zhi noticed that there were indeed a few yellow-haired and blue-eyed foreigners in this country's prison. They are like the Ming people in the same way as the Ming people. For them, Zhou Zhi only glanced at them a few times and didn't pay too much attention. However, Xiao Li Feng looked at them like a strange thing, and couldn't help but sigh a few times.

Qi Yanwu cooked the meal, and the three of them simply sat around the dining table in the dining hall and ate it.

Xiao Li Feng smiled mischievously, "Big brother, this is really a good place, one morning Brother Xiao Wu led me to play in this courtyard, so unhappy!" Big brother, are we going to live here forever? ”

The more he eats well and lives better, Xiao Li Feng is worried. He was afraid that Zhou Zhi would let her leave at some point.

This poor little girl has experienced a lot of misfortunes and suffered a lot at a young age, and she cherishes this hard-won life now.

Zhou Zhi said with a smile, "It's not like you want to live here forever, but you just have to rest assured, the big brother won't drive you away." ”

then told Qi Yanwu to take good care of her. Qi Yanwu nodded in agreement.

In fact, Qi Yanwu has nothing to do all day now, just playing with Xiao Li Feng. According to his mind, he wanted to find time to practice martial arts. But after all, he is not familiar with the environment here now, and he doesn't know the rules here, so he doesn't dare to act rashly, so he should follow the rules first.

The three of them were talking and laughing, when a voice sounded in Zhou Zhi's ear, "Brother Zhou Zhixian, hehe!" See you again at last! ”

Listening to the familiar voice, Zhou Zhi turned his head to look at it, but he was still taken aback.

It was Liu Long.

Unexpectedly, Liu Long also came to Guozijian to study. I took a morning class in Chongzhi Hall, but I didn't find him.

Zhou Zhi immediately understood that Liu Long was the second place in the Dao test, which was almost the same as himself. He is Liu Ji's grandson, and his father Liu Shang is now the superintendent of the imperial history, so it is not surprising that he can come to Guozijian to study.

Zhou Zhi hurriedly stood up and clasped his fists in salute. Liu Long is actually not bad, but he has lived in such a family environment since he was a child, and he will inevitably develop an anxious and arrogant character. Zhou Zhi had long known that Liu Long had the heart to make friends with him, and he talked to Liu Long very politely.

The two of them were even fellow villagers, chatting for a while, and suddenly Liu Wenhuan appeared at the door of the dining hall and said loudly, "Brother Zhou Zhixian, why haven't you finished your meal yet, Lord Siye Zhuge is looking for you!" ”
