The day after the housewarming, Li Xi came to the mansion of Zhou Qiong again.

This time, I came here to send dry stocks.

Of course, there is no need to ask to see Zhou Qiong for this kind of thing, and Zhou Qiong has already made it clear at yesterday's banquet that the person in charge of managing this part of his house is the housekeeper Zhang Shan, so Li Xi directly looked for Steward Zhang as soon as he came.

After Zhang Shan came out to welcome him in, the two of them only sat for a short while, and everything had already been agreed.

Li Xi sold 20% of the shares of [Jiannan Shaochun] to the Zhou government, and will distribute dividends to the Zhou government twice a year according to its own profitability, and the Zhou government does not interfere in the operation of Jiannan Shaochun, which means that he is only responsible for collecting money and not caring about things.

Of course, there are some things that don't need to be said, but everyone knows it, since the Zhou Mansion occupies a part in the winery in Jiannan Shaochun, then once something happens, they will naturally stand up for the winery, and once the operation of the winery is on the right track to expand the national market, then the Zhou Mansion, as well as the Zhang Jiuling Zhang family standing behind the Zhou Mansion, are naturally happy to help push it, after all, there are already their interests here.

In fact, on the way here, Li Xi thought to himself, not so much that he came over to send money, but that the old man Liu Bo gave him a good ladder to climb the wall in advance.

At the moment, it seems that a large amount of benefits have been given away, but as long as you look at the big picture a little and think about the time, you will immediately understand that the benefits you pay now are not the same as what you may gain in the future.

Don't mention anything else, let's just say that at the moment, although even if Zhou Qiong does not become a shareholder, with the support of such a local wealthy family as the Liu family, it is actually enough for Jiannan Yaochun to gain a firm foothold, but the position of Sima held by Old Man Liu is, after all, responsible for government affairs such as local military affairs and public security and anti-theft, although as a local dignitary, he also has the right to speak in civil affairs, but compared with Zhou Qiong's ability to interfere, there is no doubt that it is much worse, so, after having Zhou Qiong's shares, There is no doubt that the roots of the new wine Jiannan Burning Spring are more stable.

And these are still secondary, the most important thing for Li Xi in this matter is actually Zhang Jiuling, who is standing behind the Zhou family.

Li Xi really doesn't know much about history, but with his skills as a historical idiot, he can clearly remember that there was such a person named Zhang Jiuling in the Tang Dynasty, and he has the impression that he is still a big official, so Zhang Jiuling's energy can be imagined.

With Zhou's shareholding, it can be said that Zhang Jiuling is standing behind him, that is to say, he has already had a little relationship with this big man now, which is undoubtedly a wonderful foreshadowing for Jiannan Yaochun to open up the national market in the future, or for the future of himself and Old Man Liu Bo in the officialdom!

Based on this alone, not to mention the shares of 20% of the new wine, it is worth doubling and giving away 40% of the shares in your hand!

Therefore, when the old housekeeper Zhang Shan asked Li Xi with a smile how much these two ingredients were worth, Li Xi immediately said solemnly: "Steward Zhang said this, but it made the little nephew feel very uncomfortable, I want to assassinate Lord Shi since he arrived in Shuzhou, he has worked hard for me in Shuzhou, and now the little nephew just sent a few jars of new wine, which can be regarded as expressing a gratitude to Lord Assassin Shi on behalf of the people of Shuzhou, how can I talk about the money!" If you mention it again, the little nephew will be really ashamed and ashamed! ”

Zhang Shan nodded with a smile when he heard this, and this topic was brought over by everyone's clear words.

At that moment, the two chatted a few more words, and Li Xi was about to get up and say goodbye, but after standing up, he suddenly remembered that Li Yifeng mentioned something last night, so he groaned for a while, and then said with a little embarrassment: "Originally, I didn't dare to disturb, but the little nephew suddenly thought of something, and dared to ask Steward Zhang, has Lord Zhou ever accepted disciples?" ”

Zhang Shan was stunned when he heard this, but the old man reacted quickly, and after only being stunned for a moment, he seemed to have understood what Li Xi meant, so when he looked at it again, the smile on his face suddenly became a little kinder.

At that moment, he touched his beard, shook his head and said, "Since my young lady got married, the old man has been coming to be a housekeeper, but I have never heard that Lord Thorn Shi has accepted any disciples. ”

Li Xi nodded when he heard this, rubbed his hands, looked embarrassed, and said: "I'm ashamed to say it, although the little nephew's original words are not good, but he is not afraid to see people, but a few days ago, he was drunk for a while and accidentally fell down from the restaurant...... Alas, I really don't dare to see people! ”

He also said: "I heard that Lord Thorn Shi not only does a good job in poetry and writing, but also writes brilliantly in one hand, so the little nephew takes the liberty of wanting to worship under Lord Thorn Shi to learn calligraphy, but I don't know if Lord Thorn Shi is willing to teach it, this ......"

Zhang Shan nodded when he heard this, looking like he understood, his face was groaning, but he couldn't help but praise in his heart, this kid, yesterday he just thought he was smart and well-behaved and calm, but today it seems that he still knows how to borrow a ladder to go to the room, it's not simple! This hand apprenticeship...... But it's a wonderful play!

Although he knew that his master was actually very optimistic about this Li Xi, as long as his words of apprenticeship came out, he would not reject it, but Zhang Shan was just a housekeeper after all, and after groaning for a while, he could only get up and say to Li Xi: "My master has always praised his nephew and young master, but this apprentice...... In this way, the young nephew and let the old man go in to understand what the master means, and then come back to reply to you, how about it? ”

Li Xi wanted this is this, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but bow his head and hurriedly thanked him.

In the study, Zhou Qiong, who was reading by himself, couldn't help but smile after hearing the old housekeeper Zhang Shan say what Li Xi meant.

After he put down the book, he said: "This kid, his head is bright, well, I'm afraid that there is ** again the old fox of Liu Bo gave him the idea!" ”

Zhang Shan laughed when he heard this, and said: "It doesn't matter whose idea he is, you just sell this face to Liu Sima, with his support, you can be comfortable with this assassin history!" ”

Zhou Qiong nodded when he heard this, and then said: "Actually, it's not just to sell face to Liu Bo, this kid's literary style and cleverness, I really like it." Well, then I'll accept him as a disciple. ”

Zhang Shan slapped his hands when he heard this, and praised again, "This son is talented and flexible, and what is more difficult is that he seems to be very good at managing money. ”

Zhou Qiong nodded with a smile when he heard this, he only has one son, who is only twelve years old this year, although he is talented and intelligent, his surname is extremely stubborn, and he will definitely not be a peaceful person in the future.

Although the father-in-law is on the rise at the moment, as the saying goes, a companion is like a tiger, with the old man's strong temper, I am afraid that he will not be able to wait for his son to grow up to the point where he needs to borrow his strength, he will already come down, and none of the wives and brothers in the father-in-law's family are successful, and they are not enough to take over the old man's share......

Thinking about it this way, it doesn't matter, what Zhang Shan said is not unreasonable, since Li Xi is interested, then whether it is to sell Liu Bo Lao'er a face, or whether he really values this kid's talent, let's use him to pave the way for his son first.

Seeing that he had no other instructions, Zhang Shan turned around and came out to inform Li Xi.

And after Li Xi learned that Zhou Qiong was really willing to accept him as a disciple, he couldn't help but be overjoyed at the moment, and hurriedly followed Zhang Shan to Zhou Qiong's study.

It's no wonder that he is so happy, after Li Yifeng mentioned this matter last night, he was immediately moved.

Unlike the students who are mass-produced in the state of education popularization in modern society, although there are also official schools at all levels in Datang nowadays, there are also a lot of private schools in the local area, and in these schools, they are mainly taught in batches, but even so, in these schools, there is a teacher with several students, and the division of teachers is extremely distinct, and more attention is paid to the teacher's way.

As for those scholars who have no chance to enter the official school, they will worship someone as a teacher to monopolize a kind of learning, and they will treat the teacher as a father for the rest of their lives.

The so-called Heaven and Earth Monarch Teacher, the teacher is one of these five supreme beings, and its status is self-evident.

It can be said that Master, Master, one word has exhausted the relationship between master and apprentice.

And if Li Xi can successfully worship Zhou Qiong as a teacher, then it is equivalent to connecting himself and Zhou Qiong all of a sudden, and the two sides will suddenly change from the original cooperation, or the relationship of mutual use, to master and apprentice......

Zhou Qiong is the youngest Jinshi since the opening of the scientific examination in the Tang Dynasty, only thirty-five years old from the history of the Sanpin Shuzhou assassination, or the east bed fast son-in-law of Zhang Jiuling, the servant of the Ministry of Works......

It's a good ladder!

But at this time, before Li Xi could bow down, Zhou Qiong ordered Zhang Shan to hold him down, looked at him with a smile and said: "I have never paid attention to these teacher rules, seeing that you act plainly, you are also a person who does not like to abide by the rules, these vulgar etiquette, can be avoided, stay and have a meal with me later, meet your wife and little brother, and then you will finish your business every afternoon, come to me to learn and read." ”

When Li Xi heard this, he saw that his tone was sincere and not fake, so he no longer insisted on worshipping, but said: "If the teacher does not abandon the disciple, the disciple will redouble his efforts, and he will never dare to live up to the teacher's kindness." ”

Zhou Qiong nodded with a smile when he heard this, and Zhang Shan joked on the side: "The old slave keeps calling his nephew and nephew, isn't this really a straight young master?" ”

After that, he and Zhou Qiong glanced at each other, and both of them laughed.

This straight and nephew are not the same concept, young nephew, is a polite title, to put it bluntly, very distant and polite, but this straight, but it is a name for the descendants of the family, so it is much closer. Li Xi heard the meaning of closeness here, and immediately quickly changed his name, and said: "Don't you dare to be called Uncle Zhang like that, you can call me my cousin." ”

Zhang Shan didn't even dare to say when he heard this, but Zhou Qiong nodded and said: "He is a junior, you don't have to indulge him like this, I think you can call him a word, it's good." Zhang Shan nodded yes when he heard this, and he agreed.

Although everyone was polite, but the status of master and apprentice was so certain, they really felt a lot closer to each other unconsciously.

At that moment, Zhang Shan ordered someone to serve tea again, Li Xi respectfully offered Zhou Qiong tea and called him a teacher, Zhou Qiong took a sip and put down the teacup, and told some words such as being diligent in doing things in the future, this apprenticeship ceremony is officially completed.

Then the two of them sat down to talk, Zhou Qiongluo asked him where he had learned his homework, Li Xi made up a few words, and when he began to feel that he was going to sweat on his head, he suddenly heard someone outside: "I heard that the master has accepted a new disciple, but where is it, why don't you ask me to meet?" ”

Just because a woman dares to speak in this tone in the Zhou Mansion, you can know that she must be Zhou Qiong's wife, Zhang Jiuling's little daughter, but her voice is crisp and soft, as soon as she enters her ears, Li Xi was stunned, and she didn't hear her accent, but she felt that there seemed to be some flavor of the Lingnan area, but it was clearly very similar to Wulan's Chang'an dialect......

After thinking about it for a while, he suddenly remembered that the old man Liu Bo had specially explained that day, Zhang Jiuling's hometown was Qujiang, Shaozhou, but it was not the Lingnan area!

As for the Chang'an accent, it must be because this Mrs. Zhou Zhang grew up in Chang'an when she was a child.

Hearing this sound outside the door, Li Xi quickly stood up, and then saw that the curtain of the door was lifted by two maids, and a beautiful young woman in her thirties came in.

Li Xi only glanced at her hurriedly when she entered the door, and then he didn't dare to look at her, just bowed his head without squinting, and said, "Disciple Li Xi, meet your master!" ”

"Yo...... I know, you're the one who made a good poem and made new wine, aren't you? Get up and don't kneel, and raise your head for me to see...... I heard the master mention you yesterday, but I didn't expect you to become a master and apprentice today! ”

Li Xi raised his head when he heard this, resisted the embarrassment of being looked up and down by a woman, and said with a smile: "The disciple originally thought that he was sparse in learning, and the adults might not be willing to accept it, because he didn't even prepare for the simplest apprenticeship ceremony, this ......"

Zhou Qiong smiled when he heard this, but continued his words: "Isn't your new wine the best apprenticeship, so there is no need to say this!" Zhou Zhang's naturally knew that he had already added shares to Li Xi's new wine, so when he heard this, he turned his head and smiled at Zhou Qiong, and then turned his head to Li Xi and said: "No, what your master said is right, what kind of worship ceremony is not a teacher ceremony, your master and mother are not people who care about those mundane things!" ”

Then she smiled and took Li Xi's hand, her eyes were crooked, and she said: "But he is so handsome and a child, let me just say, your master has always been above the top, and if you can make him like it so much and be willing to accept him as a disciple, you will definitely not be bad!" ”

As he spoke, his heart moved, and he asked again, "How old are you?" Have you ever been married? ”

Although Zhou Zhang's eldest daughter is already fourteen years old, in fact, she is only thirty-two years old, put it in modern society, this is called a mature woman, and she can't even reach the age of a mature woman, plus she was born in a rich family since she was a child, and she has always been well maintained.

Li Xi was held by her tender little hands, and she already felt a little embarrassed, and she asked this kind of question like a child, and she suddenly looked forward to Ai Ai, and she didn't know how to answer.

Fortunately, at this time, Zhou Qiong had already taken over with a smile and said, "Don't worry about him, Lord Sima Liu's precious daughter, you didn't praise anything when you came back last time, the two of them have been engaged to kiss dolls since they were children." ”

Zhou Zhangshi was stunned at first when he heard this, and then he couldn't help sighing, and said: "I remembered what you said, it seems that I heard someone mention it, well, you two are also a pair of beautiful people, okay!" ”

Listening to the conversation between the two of them, Li Xi came back to his senses, and remembered in a trance that his eldest daughter of the new worship teacher seemed to be only thirteen or fourteen years old, right? At such an age, have you already started to worry about getting married?

At this time, he felt that there seemed to be a few strange eyes falling on him, Li Xi subconsciously looked over, but saw that under the curtain opened at the door, there were two children who looked about thirteen or fourteen years old, the boy looked up and down curiously, and the girl was shy and complaining, her eyes only touched herself lightly and quickly swung away, but she snorted coldly in her nose and turned her head.

"Hey, you're my daddy's new student? I'll tell you, don't beat my sister's idea, otherwise I'll clean you up carefully! After the boy finished looking, he put his hands on his hips and leaned at Li Xi, and the arrogant exit threatened.

Li Xi couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, where is this!

At this time, Zhou Zhang's face couldn't help but tense when he heard this, and he turned around and scolded: "Aman, what nonsense, don't come and see your senior brother soon." ”

Li Xi also hurriedly smiled: "I don't dare to be called this senior brother, hello little boy, my name is Li Xi." ”

Who would have thought that the little guy named Aman just glanced at Li Xi disdainfully after hearing this, and muttered in a low voice, "Sycophant!" Then he didn't even look at Zhou Zhang, turned around and took the girl's hand, and said, "Sister, let's go!" ”

The two of them ran away holding hands, and Zhou Zhangshi suddenly stomped his feet in anger.

Seeing this, Li Xi hurriedly persuaded a few words tactfully, but he smiled tightly in his stomach, thinking that although his new master Zhou Qiong was talented, he was very introverted, and he had always been very low-key, but he didn't want his son to have such a surname, and it seemed that not only his son, but even his daughter was similar.

Turning his head to look over, he saw that Master Thorn Shi, who was always moody and angry, was full of black lines at this time, obviously having a headache about his son's performance.

After all, it is her own children, Zhou Zhang's family has long been accustomed to their performance, but in front of Li Xi, a newly admitted student, she felt that her face was a little unbearable, and when she saw Li Xi instead persuading herself, she immediately felt that this Li Xi was interesting, and immediately borrowed the slope to get off the donkey, and scolded with a smile: "These two children, they are all spoiled by me!" ”

He said to Li Xi again: "Since you have worshiped the master as a teacher, then you will take this place as a home in the future, and often come over for dinner, you, as a senior brother, will also discipline and discipline these two disobedient ones for me, alas...... I'm so saddened! ”

Speaking of this, he took Li Xi's hand again and said, "You master and apprentice talk, I'll go to the back kitchen to have a look, stay for dinner later, and have a few drinks with your teacher, he likes your new wine, oh, by the way, it's called Jiannan Burning Spring!" ”

Saying that, he put down Li Xi's hand, and said to Zhou Qiong: "I went to visit just now, Master Mo Yan said that he just put up an order in the temple, he has some bags to pack, and his body is tired, so I won't come to see you today, and I'll come tomorrow afternoon." ”

Zhou Qiong nodded when he heard this, waved his hand and said, "I know, you can go." ”

Zhou Zhangshi turned around and went out, but Zhou Qiong picked up a notebook and put it on the table, and said: "This is the notebook I wrote to Aman, you can also start with this, and write ten big characters every day in the future and bring them to me to see." ”

Before Li Xi could open it, he heard that Zhou Qiong had already continued: "As my student, you can allow you to write badly, but you must be careful in every word, otherwise, I won't spare you!" ”
