Seeing so many people coming out of the two Zhuangzi, Zhou Qi really felt embarrassed, if he came down as an official, this meeting could only be said to be just right, but this time he came with his usual identity, Zhou Xihu's uncle, and the old lady of the two villages should be regarded as a junior.

Before he could figure out what to do, a group of people stepped forward to salute, and he could only follow the salute in return, and a group of people surrounded him in the middle and pulled him to the main courtyard of Zhangjia Zhuangzi.

In the hall, the old ladies of the two Zhuangzi are sitting on the same seat, occasionally boasting a few words, only Zhang Xiaobao's father has been accompanying and chatting, this is arranged by Zhang Xiaobao, if you want to take the imperial examination, it is not so simple, you need to be famous, you need to know the people above.

For this matter, Zhang Xiaobao once discussed with Wang Juan that he wanted to copy some poems to his father and let his father become famous, but then considering that his father would not copy poems with a thick face, he had to give up, so he painstakingly pulled the relationship, originally planned to find the prime minister surnamed Yao during the disaster relief, and considering that the person would be deposed in a few days, he had to find a new way.

The people in the hall chatted until dinner time, and naturally it was another arrangement, the female dependents of the family left, and the children couldn't get up to the table, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan ate with pomegranates, went out to exercise for a while, and went to sleep.

Zhou Qi chatted with Zhang's father for so long, and he was still quite satisfied with Zhang Zhong and Zhang Yongcheng, the heads of the Zhang family, who were talented, but they were a little more stereotyped, saying that they were the head of the family, but the person who was really in charge of the family was Zhang Wang's family, who had the ability to take care of this Zhuangzi in an orderly manner, and could know from the actions and words of the subordinates.

The maids who serve the dishes during the meal, all of them are so steady, they have not deliberately come to please themselves, the etiquette can not find any fault, the eyes are clear, people feel sincere, deal with it decently, give people a feeling of eating at home, say that it is the subordinate of the Zhuang family, and it does not look bad in some houses.

After eating, Zhou Qi and others, who had been bumpy for a day, were arranged to rest, at this time it was not yet dark, and Zhou Qi, who originally felt tired, lay on the collapse for a while but couldn't sleep, and moved over and over again, so he had to get up and want to take a look outside.

After getting dressed, as soon as I pushed the door open, the maid who had been waiting outside greeted him respectfully, and when she heard that the adult wanted to walk around, she didn't stop her, and while following the side, she found someone passing by and reported it to the housekeeper.

As soon as he came to the outside of the main courtyard, he saw that there were two children hitting a tree across the river with a slingshot by the small river that only had a thin stream of water flowing into the pond, and next to the two children stood a maid wearing the clothes of the master's family.

"Xiaoju, these two little babies can be Xiaobao and Juan Juan on Zhuangzi?" Zhou Qi asked the maid next to him.

"If you go back to your lordship, it is the little boy and the little lady, you see, the well surrounded by the place over there, the water that comes out of it is different from other places, and it tastes sweet."

The maid Xiaoju replied, pointed to a place in front of her, and introduced softly, she wanted to lead Zhou Qi over there, for fear that Zhou Qi would be happy, and wanted to say a few words to the little boy and the little lady, but the two little ancestors showed too many things to be suspected by Zhou Qi for a while.

"Oh? Ten wells are different from this one? You have to try it, well, take me to see your little boy and lady first. Zhou Qi followed the maid's words, looked over there, raised his legs and wanted to go that way, and suddenly reacted, this maid didn't seem to want to let herself meet the two babies.

It's weird.,I'm actually led to another place by the maid's words.,If it weren't for the fact that I used to talk to people like this.,It's really taken over.,Amazing.,Someone else might say'Adults might as well look elsewhere',It's too obvious.,The maid is talking but doing it inadvertently.。

When Xiaoju heard that he knew that his mind had been recognized, he did not show the slightest panic on his face, and still said softly: "The adult is golden, you don't have to go to see it in person, wait for me to invite the little boy and the little lady." ”

"Don't be busy, let them play for a while, I like children the most, Xiaoju, let me ask you, what do you usually do in this yard? I saw that there were three little stars embroidered on your clothes, and some people embroidered one or two, so what else could I say? "Zhou Qi is interested in the maid at the moment, and the one who can be sent to serve him is definitely picky and picky.

Xiao Ju smiled sweetly, "Back to the words of the adult, I usually serve the old lady, my lord, you guessed accurately, the people in the courtyard are divided into three classes, two stars are the first class, one star is the second class, and there is no third class." ”

"And what about your three stars?"

"Special, it's all the old lady and lady who carry love." The smile on Xiao Ju's face remained unchanged.

"That little orange, you are not ordinary, tell me, how can you become a special class? How many maids are waiting for your little boy over there? Zhou Wei became more and more curious about this Zhang family Zhuangzi.

"If you go back to adulthood, you will first have to serve in the courtyard for ten years, I have been helping to do things since I was six years old, and I have been doing it for eleven years, in addition to this, I also have to work for my family in the previous generation of Zhuangzi, with these two, I must choose sensible and clever people to learn to read and write, and after learning, choose people who know how to read and reason, and can keep accounts."

Xiaoju's voice was still so good when she spoke, not arrogant at all, only other people in the yard knew that there were only three in the whole yard like her, not everyone could have the opportunity to learn things, the little boy and the little lady began to let people learn a lot after they became sensible, in addition to studying, they also had to work, and they could reach such a level, which showed how much they had to pay.

Zhou Qi also knew that few of the people in his house could have the opportunity to read and write, and it was rare to see a lot like Xiaoju.

stopped talking about this at the moment, stopped Xiaoju from going to invite her little son, and raised his legs to walk over there.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were still playing, and when Zhou Qi's eyes were on them, the two of them were aware of it, people like them were particularly sensitive to this, especially Zhang Xiaobao, who had already practiced it when he was captured, fled, and besieged.

But they still pretended not to notice, until Pomegranate saw someone coming and reminded him, then he stopped his movements, Wang Juan hid behind Zhang Xiaobao, poked his head out slightly, and the two of them blinked at Zhou Qi who came over with innocent eyes.

"You're Xiaobao, you're a juan? Come, let Uncle take a good look. Zhou Qi liked it as soon as he saw the appearance of the two children, and without waiting for the maid to speak first, he walked closer, squatted down, and spoke to Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan with a smile.

"Uncle~ Okay." Zhang Xiaobao said hello first, and Wang Juan also whispered a greeting, at this time, the two of them were no longer as fluent as usual, and their words were not so clear, with a shy and curious look on their faces.

Pomegranate and Xiaoju looked at it next to them, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, the little boy and the little lady are really unusual.

Zhou Wei didn't know where the two children were pretending to be children, and when they heard the greeting, they smiled even more, "Xiaobao and Juan Juan, tell your uncle, how old are you?" ”

"Three years old." Zhang Xiaobao counted out three fingers and held them in front of him, and replied with wide eyes, Wang Juan showed half of his body, and said, "I'm the same as Xiaobao." ”

Zhou Qi knew that this was a false calculation, otherwise the two children were one year and eight months old, looking at the pair of lovely children in front of him, he really felt like a golden boy and a girl, and asked again, "Do you know who I am?" My surname is Zhou, and I also have a nephew named Zhou Xihu. ”

After saying this, he looked at the two children, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan first showed doubts and thoughts, and then suddenly smiled and nodded violently.

Zhang Xiaobao said first: "Be a big official." ”

Wang Juan followed, "Good man." ”

After Wang Juan finished speaking, the whole person flashed out from behind Zhang Xiaobao, and stood there obediently, as if he was not afraid.

When Zhou Qi heard it, he was happy, the child is not sensible, and what the adults teach is what the family teaches, which shows that the people in the yard usually teach the children like this, especially when they see Wang Juan's not afraid appearance, this is comfortable in his heart, the meaning of the child is the meaning of the adult.

As soon as I was happy, I wanted to give a gift, but I touched my body with both hands and found that I didn't bring anything, so I had to smile apologetically at the two children and said, "Uncle didn't bring anything for you this time, next time, I will definitely make up for it." ”

Zhang Xiaobao handed over a slingshot pinned to his waist, "Send it to uncle." ”

He and Wang Juan don't have two slingshots, one is big, one is small, when no one sees it, they use the big one, and someone next to them takes the small one, and this time the one is small.

Zhou Qi is not to pick up this time, not to pick up is not, the child sent something, not to pick up the child will be unhappy, how to return it after receiving it, don't look at a slingshot, for children that is a baby, people give you the baby, what should you do?

Looking at Zhang Xiaobao's expectant gaze, Zhou Qi still reached out and took the slingshot, thinking that he must repay it well in the future, and he would also help find talents in the imperial examination.

After receiving the slingshot, Zhou Qi said a few words to Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, the two children didn't understand many things, and occasionally spit out a few words that were not too clear, even if they were chatting.

Waiting for Zhou Qi to decide to go back to rest, preparing to continue to discuss things with Zhuangzi's people tomorrow, and meet the two masters, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan also went back to sleep, and they had to get up at night to study.

Zhou Qi was able to fall asleep this time, but he had a long dream at night, and when he woke up in the morning, he could still remember the things in the dream, he dreamed that he had encountered a problem in the future, and no one could help anyone to ask, and finally two children came out and told him what to do.

The two children could not see what they looked like, but what they said surprised him very much, and finally he saw the two children running away with a slingshot.

Shaking his head that was still a little confused, Zhou Qi glanced at the small slingshot placed next to the pillow, and thought that he really thought about it day and night, and before going to bed, he thought about how to repay the gift of the slingshot, and ended up dreaming all night.
