On October 22, the fourth year of Zhengde, this was originally a very ordinary day, but because of the heavy crossing, this day was no longer ordinary, because on this day, a landmark work in the history of literature in the world appeared in front of the world.

In the afternoon, the Fengyou teahouse was full of friends, and the idlers who had had lunch came from all over the city, sat with three or five tea friends, chatted while drinking tea, and some people took this opportunity to talk about a few business, and got the money between talking and laughing.

However, more people put their attention on the high platform directly opposite the gate of the teahouse, where there is a teenage girl holding the pipa in her arms, 'babbling and singing' songs, although this little girl is not particularly beautiful, but the pipa is played well, plus the sound is as crisp as a lark, and the small song is naturally very good.

On a table facing the platform, Zhou Zhong and Zheng Jing, Li Zheng, and Zhang Guo sat down according to their priorities, among which Zheng Jing was the oldest and usually had high prestige, so he sat on the main seat facing the platform, Zhang Jing sat on his right, and Li Zheng and Zhou Zhong sat side by arm opposite Zhang Jing.

"Wenda, you said that you don't sit in the private room on the second floor, why do you have to sit in the hall, it's too noisy around here!" Li Zheng, who was sitting next to Zhou Chong, turned his head to look around, and then said with some complaints, although he knocked on the door, he was dressed and eaten from a young age, and he ate and drank tea outside in a private room, and this was the first time he sat in the hall to drink tea and chat, so he seemed very uncomfortable.

"Brother Berau, don't be impatient, although the private room is quiet, but the hall also has the benefits of the hall, for example, the little song of this girl on the stage is sung well, and it is absolutely impossible to hear it in the private room!" Zhou Zhong held up the teacup and smiled. Speaking of which, when he first came to his senses, Li Zheng and Zheng Jing came to visit together, and at that time, Zhou Zhong asked them to reintroduce themselves on the grounds that he was in a trance during his illness, so that he did not show his feet. In addition, Aunt Wang and Bang'er were also fooled by him with this reason.

Hearing Zhou Chong's words, Zheng Jing, who was sitting in the right seat, said with a smile: "Wenda is really interested, originally I was a little worried that you would be hit by the affairs of your family, but now that I see you so open-minded, I am relieved to be a brother!" ”

"That's right, Brother Zheng, have you noticed that since Wenda recovered from a serious illness last time, the whole person has become a little different, and he is much more open-minded and open-minded than before, this should be what people often say, 'If you don't die, you will have a blessing', right?" Zhang Guo also smiled at this time, they have known Zhou Chong for many years, and they usually talk to each other heart-to-heart, so they can feel any changes in Zhou Chong's body.

"Huh? Brother Fang Shi reminded me like this, and I also felt that Wenda was much more cheerful, and you wouldn't have discussed with us about the little girl's music on the stage before. Li Zheng was also a little surprised to Zhou Chongdao, with a little doubt in his eyes, as the best friend, he was more concerned about what happened to Zhou Chong.

Although Zhang Jing didn't ask directly, he actually expressed his curiosity about Zhou Chong's big changes in his words, Li Zheng painted it directly on his face, and even Zheng Jing, who has always been steady, also showed an interested expression at this time, and he was also very interested in Zhou Chong's friend's temperament for such a big change.

For the curiosity of the three friends, Zhou Zhong smiled lightly: "What else can there be?" The last time I was seriously ill and experienced life and death, and then I was in the middle of the family, and I tasted the warmth and coldness of the world, which made some of the younger brother's thoughts change, and it can even be called a rebirth, and now the Zhou Zhong in front of the three brothers is no longer the prodigy Zhou Zhong at the beginning! ”

When it came to the last sentence, Zhou Zhong laughed secretly in his heart, now that he had broken through the heavens in front of Zheng Jing and the others, it was a pity that they would never think of the true meaning of this sentence.

Sure enough, after Zheng Jing heard what Zhou Chong said, he sighed and stroked Zhou Chong's back and said: "Wenda, I admired your talent before, but I thought that your temperament was too dull and you didn't know how to be flexible, but when I saw it today, it made my brother feel ashamed, after so many difficulties, instead of falling, you have been sharpened more mature, I believe that Wenda's future future will be limitless!" ”

Zheng Jing's praise of Zhou Zhong was also approved by Zhang Jing and Li Zheng, and they asked themselves if they put Zhou Chong's affairs on themselves, they would probably not be able to resist it, let alone behave so easily as Zhou Chong is now.

Zheng Jing and they are all talents, chatting and chatting began to move to the imperial examination, especially next year is a triennial examination, a few of them have agreed to participate together, but now there is a problem, Zheng Jing and they came out again today is to solve this problem.

"Wenda, Uncle Zhou died, I'm afraid you won't be able to participate in next year's exam, so it's a pity that you have to wait for another three years!" At this time, Zhang Jing, who was sitting opposite Zhou Chong, suddenly sighed. After the death of their parents, the children are required to observe filial piety for three years, during which not only are they not allowed to marry, but they are also not allowed to participate in the imperial examination.

Hearing Li Zheng bring out today's topic, Zheng Jing and Zhang Jing, who were sitting on the right seat, glanced at each other, and then said: "Fang Shi is right, but Wenda, you don't have to be discouraged, you are only fifteen years old this year, and when you take the examination at the end of the filial piety period, you will only be twenty years old. ”

As soon as Zheng Jing's words fell, Li Zheng, who had the best relationship with Zhou Chong, immediately waited eagerly and said: "That's right, among the few of us, you are the most talented, so you must not be distracted in the past five years, I have discussed with Brother Minglun and Brother Fang Shi, and I am willing to fund Wenda for you to concentrate on studying, and after five years, you will definitely be able to make a splash, and even win the championship in one fell swoop to become Xie Yuan, and then our scholars in Songjiang Mansion will also be honored!" ”

Hearing this, Zhou Zhong finally understood the reason why Zheng Jing asked them to come out, it turned out that they saw the current situation of the Zhou Mansion and were worried that they were busy supporting their families and neglected to study, so they proposed to fund the Zhou Mansion, so that he did not have to worry about the family's food and clothing, so that he could concentrate on studying, so that he could have a greater certainty of gaining fame.

Hearing that Zheng Jing and them thought so much about themselves, and were even willing to generously fund their own studies, Zhou Zhong also felt a warm heart, in the era of the Ming Dynasty, it is undoubtedly the most beautiful thing to get fame and then become an official. It's a pity that Zhou Chong has his own hardships, he doesn't know anything about the Four Books and Five Classics now, even if he is given five years to study hard, he may not be able to reach the height of the original Zhou Chong, and he is really not interested in the eight strands of the imperial examination in the Ming Dynasty.

It is precisely because of this that I saw Zhou Chong silent for a moment, then shook his head and said: "Thank you for the kindness of the three brothers, but everyone has their own ambitions, since my father died, the relatives around me have also suffered a lot with me, so I swore to myself that I must revive the family business in the shortest possible time, so I really can't dive into study!" ”

Hearing that Zhou Chong, who wanted to gain fame, rejected their proposal, Zheng Jing and the three of them all looked at each other, although they had already known that Zhou Chong had changed a lot, but they never thought that Zhou Chong would now put the revival of the family business in the first place, and even from his words, there was a feeling of contempt for the imperial examination.

"Wenda, you have to think clearly, although the Zhou family is in trouble for the time being, as long as you can pass the exam, what is the value of a little family business?" Li Zheng is still a little unwilling, no matter how rich the Zhou family is, it is just a businessman, but if Zhou Chong can be promoted in the examination, he will be able to enter the officialdom at that time, and the Zhou family will become the home of the official eunuch.

Zhou Zhong was not interested in the imperial examination at all, but now he can't say it to Zheng Jing and Li Zheng, after all, Zhou Chong was very obsessed with fame in the past, and he couldn't show too much difference at once, so he smiled at Li Zheng: "Brother Berau is too worried, I just said that the first task is to revive the family business, but I didn't say to give up the imperial examination, I plan to run the family business while studying hard, although it will be affected by some influences, but I believe that as long as I work hard, I still have some certainty of gaining fame!" ”

Hearing Zhou Zhong say this, Li Zheng, Zheng Jing, and Zhang Jing all looked at each other helplessly. Zhou Chong, whom they know, has been studying since he was a child, and his talent naturally has nothing to say, but he knows almost nothing about other affairs, so Li Zheng, like Steward Xu before, does not believe that Zhou Chong has the ability to revive the family business. Therefore, in Li Zheng's opinion, Zhou Chong's only chance now is to study harder, and then gain fame and enter the officialdom, and then everything that the Zhou family has lost now will be doubled back.

However, when Li Zheng persuaded Zhou Chong, the girl who sang on the stage of the hall finally sang a song, hugged the pipa and got up to salute the tea guests below, at this time, many tea guests have rewarded, more than three or five texts, less than one or two texts, of course, there are many people who think it is not good, naturally there is no reward, the most female girl received a total of dozens of rewards, these money is not her alone, according to the rules, it must be taken away by the teahouse, and the rest is her income today.

After collecting the reward, the girl who sang the song went down to rest, and then another person performed on stage. Originally, Zheng Jing and the three of them failed to persuade Zhou Chong, and they were a little depressed in their hearts, and they were not in the mood to pay attention to the things on the stage, but at this time, Zhou Chong clapped his hands and said: "Three brothers, today's good show is coming, I hope my brother will support more!" ”

PS: The girls who sing are rewarded by tea customers, and the brothers will reward Lao Yu with a few tickets!
