Yang Shen chatted with Zhou Zhi, and although Yang Shen regretted that Zhou Zhi took the initiative to resign as the prince's companion, he was not overly worried about Zhou Zhi's future like Liu Wenhuan, He Jingming and others. Yang Shen is most concerned about how Zhou Zhi will study after returning home, and what he needs to learn is Zhou Zhi's method of self-study and self-enlightenment.

Zhou Zhi naturally knew everything about Yang Shen, and said everything, so after talking like this for almost an hour, Qi Yanwu packed all kinds of luggage and books.

Because Kou Peihan was going to accompany the Empress Dowager in Qingning Palace for a whole day today, Zhou Zhi and Qi Yanwu naturally couldn't leave at this time. However, Zhou Zhi really wanted to rest alone at this time and sort out his thoughts.

Yang Shen obviously didn't mean to leave, he suddenly said, "Brother Zhou Zhi, looking at today, maybe only your talent is what I Yang Shen respects very much." However, I, Yang Shen, will surpass you one day. ”

This is what Yang Shen thought in his heart, he is such a character, and he has to say what he has in his heart.

Zhou Zhi was stunned for a moment, and said secretly, this Yang Shen seems to be arrogant, but in fact, it is not. Indeed, his future achievements are not small, and he is one of the three great talents of the Ming Dynasty. At this time, it is not surprising that he has such ambitions.

However, since I Zhou Zhi has crossed over, do I really have to be surpassed by Yang Shen in terms of talent? Hehe! How can this Ming Dynasty's three talents not let my Zhou Zhi's name be listed among them?

Thinking like this in his heart, he said, "Brother Yang Shen said this, which makes Brother Wei very happy, but Brother Wei is not very convinced!" ”

Yang Shen was obviously high-spirited, and his small chest was straight, and he said, "Okay, Brother Zhou Zhi, you and I might as well think that it will last for five years, and see who can be admitted to the Jinshi after five years, and who will rank high?"

Besides, since it is a comparison of talents, Yang Shen also wants to compare with Zhou Zhi's brother who is more famous in five years. ”

After listening to this, Zhou Zhi smiled and was noncommittal.

At this time, Zhou Zhi was thinking about Yang Shen's arrogant temperament, and he was afraid that he would accompany him for the rest of his life. There is a saying that "humility makes people progress, and pride makes people backward." But Yang Shen is very proud now, but a very proud person like him has made rapid progress. Therefore, this sentence is very debatable.

He is six or seven years older than Yang Shen, and he is afraid that he will come up with such a bet with him, right?

But Zhou Zhi is very clear about Yang Shen's achievements in the future, and the unwillingness unique to the traverser makes Zhou Zhi inevitably have an impulse.

"What? Could it be that Brother Zhou Zhi didn't dare to bet? Yang Shen pressed step by step.

At the same time, Yang Shen's immature little face was flushed, obviously very anxious.

"Brother Zhou Zhi, what are you afraid of betting with him?" Qi Yanwu really couldn't stand it anymore, looking at Yang Shen's arrogant face, he couldn't help but say before Zhou Zhi could speak.

In fact, Qi Yanwu is usually very responsible, and he usually doesn't talk too much about Zhou Zhi's brother.

"Okay, Brother Yang Shen, then you and I will take a five-year period to see who is admitted to the Jinshi first, and who is more famous." Zhou Zhi said simply.

Yang Shen's small palm had already stretched out and high-fived Zhou Zhisan.

This kind of gambling contract does not need any contract certificate or the like, only Zhou Zhi and Yang Shen know about it.

Yang Shen left complacently.

As soon as Yang Shen left, from the outside, a person wearing a small hat and a green coat came in, dressed as a small servant. The man came in, first glanced at the residence a few times, and then clasped his fist at Zhou Zhi and said, "Dare to ask if you are Zhou Zhi Xiucai, right?" My lord heard about you, and specially asked the little one to lead you to the house, and my lord has something to say to you. ”

"Who are you? Who is your grandfather? Zhou Zhi asked in confusion.

The little guy gritted his teeth and said, "My master said that he can't be exposed in this national prison, so I also asked Zhou Zhixiu to move and follow the villain." ”

It's a bit of a mystery. Can't reveal the name of his master in the country's prison? It's inexplicable.

Zhou Zhi then thought that he had come to the capital for a long time, but in addition to studying in the Guozijian, that is, in the palace, he was not familiar with the capital at all, let alone knew any important people. Like this little guy in front of me, it's definitely the first time I've seen it.

Zhou Zhiquan immediately developed a great curiosity.

"Okay, I'll go with you!" Zhou Zhidao.

"Huh! My lord said that you will definitely go! The little guy laughed.

This made Zhou Zhi even more puzzled, it seems that the owner of his family still knows him very well!

He simply didn't ask any more questions, cleaned up briefly, and walked out of the residence with the little guy. Qi Yanwu is Zhou Zhi's bodyguard and scholar, so he naturally has to follow Zhou Zhi at all times.

And the three of them came out of the prison of the kingdom before and after.

Zhou Zhi was about to leave Guozijian, and no one came to ask Zhou Zhi at this time. After all, Zhou Zhi has been the prince's companion for a while, and he goes in and out of the Guozijian every day, and even the guards of the Guozijian are very familiar with Zhou Zhi.

As for Cheng Minzheng, the priest of Guozi, as well as Si Ye Zhuge and others, because Zhou Zhi's exam has passed every time, and many subjects can be excellent, according to Zhou Zhi's current level, he has already reached the standard of leaving Guozijian, and they naturally pay less attention to Zhou Zhi.

Coming out of the gate of Guozijian, he walked in the southwest direction.

At this time, it was noon, and the sun was in full bloom, but after walking a short distance, the three of them were covered in sweat. The little guy grinned at Zhou Zhi and said, "Zhou Zhixiu has worked hard to follow Xiao Zhixiu all the way."

However, the little one can reveal something to you, my lord is a famous figure. He can see you, it seems to be a blessing for Zhou Zhixiucai!

Speaking of which, there are many people who visit my lord, but my lord avoids it.

Hehe! I really don't understand, I don't know why my lord is so concerned about you? ”

Zhou Zhi just smiled and didn't speak. But at this time, Zhou Zhi's heart was very excited, who was his master? Big shot? There are many big names in this capital.

After walking for almost an hour, there was a field of low bungalows, all of which were very rudimentary. This is obviously the residence of the ordinary people in the capital. As the little guy slipped into an alley, and turned around in the alley, the little guy stopped in front of a vermilion lacquered gate.

It is said that it is a gate, but it is actually not very big, and it cannot be compared with the kind of gate of the Chen family and the Yue family in Baiyue Village. As for the current door of Zhou Zhi's house, it is much smaller.

Standing outside the door and observing this mansion, there are only two rooms, and the area of the mansion is obviously not large.

The little guy knocked lightly on the door, and the door opened, and inside was an old servant about fifty years old, who glanced at the little guy and didn't speak, and when the little guy and Zhou Zhi Qi Yanwu entered the door, they closed the door.
