Yu Chi Lianghong listened to it and said with a smile: "With the light skills of the foolish brother, if it is within one or two hundred steps, maybe he can dare to get on the fast horse of the brother, beyond this distance, if the foolish brother still sprints with all his strength, then he will have to die of exhaustion in the middle of the road." When Brother Zhao heard your order, he immediately went out of the city, let's talk here, I'm afraid he has already walked dozens of miles......"

Qiu Yizhi sighed and said: "In the final analysis, it is still the little brother who is not cautious enough and is too anxious. He said with relief, "Since this is the case, it will be in vain to chase again." My brother is familiar with Luoyang Road, can I take my brother to Guangyang Chamber of Commerce? The little brother came out in a hurry, and the change of clothes and salutes were all put there, you see my clothes, I have been wearing them for several days, and they are about to stink! ”

Yu Chi Lianghong smiled when he heard this: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say." There is a way to sharpen knives and chop wood, and my brother has been busy these days, but it is time to freshen up. What's more, this Wang Zhonghai is dead, and the benefits outweigh the disadvantages for the court, the people, and the prince of Youyan, and the good news is not in a hurry! ”

Qiu Yizhi agreed, sent He'er back, and came to the door of the Guangyang Chamber of Commerce with Wei Chi Lianghong.

The merchants in Guangyang City knew a lot of Qiu Yizhi, so in order to avoid people's eyes, he found a wonton stall in the alley next to the Chamber of Commerce and sat down, and asked Wei Chi Lianghong to go to the Chamber of Commerce to ask Zhou Cijing to bring his clothes and salute.

Zhou Cijing had seen Yu Chi Lianghong, and he also knew that he had become a brother with Qiu Yizhi, the righteous son of Youyan Wang, so he only had to take a look to know that what this martial arts master said was true. So he called He Jiugong, took out Qiu Yizhi's salute package that he had forgotten in his carriage, and followed Yu Chi Lianghong out of the Chamber of Commerce.

Qiu Yizhi saw Yu Chi Lianghong leading Zhou Cijing and He Jiugong to him from a distance, so he called the stall owner of the wonton stall and ordered four bowls of pork wontons.

The stall owner originally saw that this Qiu Yizhi occupied a place but didn't order anything, and was thinking of a way to drive him away, but when he heard him order four bowls of wontons at once, he was immediately overjoyed, and agreed silently, scooping out four bowls full of wontons with soup and water from the hot pot with a very skillful technique, and brought them to the table.

At this moment, Yu Chi Lianghong, Zhou Cijing, and He Jiugong also happened to come to him, and Qiu Yizhi got up and asked a few people to sit down and said, "It's still early, and a few people haven't eaten yet, right?" Today in the next east, please eat wontons! ”

The soup wonton is a specialty of Luoyang, and it is a small stall in the alley, and it also has its own unique skills. Qiu Yizhi scooped one up with a soup spoon, blew the heat with his mouth, and bit half of it, and suddenly the fresh soup overflowed, and his lips and teeth were fragrant, so he swallowed it with great satisfaction, and said to Zhou Cijing: "After a few days, I don't know how my uncle did to take office?" ”

A wealthy businessman like Zhou Cijing originally looked down on the scattered food on the street, but when he saw that the other people were eating it deliciously, he also took a bite and tasted it carefully. But listening to Qiu Yizhi asking himself a question, he hurriedly chewed a few times, swallowed it into his stomach and said with a smile: "It's still a virtuous nephew with a big face, and he asked for a post from Prime Minister Yang, and Zhou took the post the next day and went to the ministry to ask to see Liang Shangshu." I remember that day, the officials who were waiting to meet in front of the yamen of the ministry were twenty or thirty, but the officials who watched the door knew that Zhou was introduced by Prime Minister Yang, so he opened the back without saying a word, and asked me to go directly to see Lord Liang. This Lord Liang was also very polite, and when he saw Zhou giving him a gift list, he excused himself and said: 'If you accept the gift, the teacher will not be able to explain it', which is really exactly the same as what the virtuous nephew said. ”

Zhou Cijing's vanity must have been greatly satisfied that day, and his eyebrows fluttered as soon as he said it: "Liang Shangshu chatted with Zhou for a few words, and he agreed to donate to the official. He also said that if it is a seventh-grade official, there are exactly a few vacancies in Lingnan Road, and they can be filled immediately. If it is the sixth product, it is currently a full member, and it will take a few days to make up for the shortage. I thought that I still had to take care of the business at hand, and it was inconvenient for me to go south to become an official, so I simply donated an official in the Ministry of Works, although it was a false title, but it was also a positive six products! ”

When Zhou Cijing said this, his face was already full of joy.

Seeing this, Qiu Yi smiled and arched his hand in his seat: "Then the little nephew should congratulate his uncle...... Oh no...... Congratulations to Master Zhou! ”

Zhou Cijing was on the rise, and he didn't hear the ridicule in Qiu Yi's words, and said humbly: "Where is this kind of nephew?" If it weren't for the ...... of the prince's face, mentioning the name of King Youyan, Zhou Cijing remembered the instructions before leaving, and coughed lightly twice perfunctory, "There is also the introduction of the virtuous nephew, otherwise how can it be so smooth?" ”

As he spoke, he took two packages, one large and one small, from He Jiugong's hand, put them on the table and said, "This big bag is a gift brought by the virtuous nephew from Guangyang, and Zhou personally takes care of it to ensure that no one has opened it." ”

Qiu Yi thought that this package was just a few old clothes that she had brought, and she thought that she would throw them away when she came out to wear them, and there were no confidential and precious things, so she took it without looking at it.

Zhou Cijing said again: "In this small package, it is a little caution from Zhou, and I also ask the virtuous nephew to smile." ”

The uncle asked his nephew to "laugh" at the gift, if others listened, it would only be when the old and young people had hysteria, and they had to laugh off their big teeth, but they knew the details of it when they were a few people, and there was nothing strange about it.

Qiu Yizhi took the package, his hand suddenly sank, and he knew that it was either gold or silver, and asked, "Uncle, what do you mean by this?" ”

Zhou Cijing smiled and said: "Zhou came to Luoyang to donate officials, I didn't know how many docks to worship, how many officials to visit, and even prepared an unknown number of doormen for the janitor, and loaded a full car. However, at present, the matter is handled very smoothly, and it is all the credit of the virtuous nephew. Zhou thought that it would be inconvenient to bring these things back to Guangyang, so he simply sold them all into jewelry and jade, and estimated that they were worth 50,000 taels of silver, and gave them all to his nephew. ”

"Good guys!" Qiu Yizhi couldn't help but gasp, thinking, "This bag of things is worth 50,000 taels." If you follow the monthly example of fifty taels of silver per month, you will not be able to save enough money even if you receive it until you die. ”

Thinking of this, Qiu Yizhi hurriedly excused himself and said: "These things are too valuable, if the little nephew accepts them, it will be difficult for the father-in-law to explain them!" ”

But Zhou Cijing insisted on giving, and He Jiugong also helped on the side.

After going back and forth, Qiu Yizhi really couldn't shirk it, so he said: "That little nephew took it for my uncle first, and then I will tell my father-in-law, and then let his old man dispose of it, okay?" ”

At this point, Zhou Cijing couldn't say anything anymore, and said a few empty flatteries such as valuing wealth and righteousness, and treating money as dung, and then lowered his head and ate the bowl of wontons again.

A few people chatted while eating, and talked for a while, until they finished eating the wontons in front of them, and then Qiu Yizhi said: "The little nephew's affairs have also been completed, and he will go back to Guangyang on the same day, I wonder if my uncle is still willing to go with me?" ”

Zhou Cijing looked embarrassed: "I didn't expect the virtuous nephew to move so urgently. However, Zhou still has some business to take care of in Guangyang City, and there are also some new and old friends in the business officialdom who need to socialize......"

Qiu Yizhi knew that Zhou Cijing had become an official, and it was in full swing when all kinds of ushers were sent, and said: "Since my uncle is in charge, the little nephew is not reluctant, even if you don't pass it today!" ”

Zhou Cijing didn't answer when he heard this, but asked He Jiu fairly: "He Jiu, do you have my name card with you?" ”

He Jiugong hurriedly replied: "Bring it, bring it." With that, he took out a half-palm-sized wooden plaque from his bosom and handed it to the owner.

Zhou Cijing took it, handed it to Qiu Yizhi and said: "This is Zhou's famous post, please ask the virtuous nephew, with this thing, you can eat, drink and live in any teahouse and restaurant opened by the Zhou family, although you can't save a few silver, but it also saves some trouble, and please accept it." ”

Qiu Yizhi took it, and saw that on this dark wooden board, only the three big characters "Zhou Cijing" were written, so he smiled at him and said, "That little nephew is ashamed." It's just that after today, this post will be useless.,I have to redo a new name post of 'Gongbu Langzhong'! ”

Qiu Yizhi's words were tickling Zhou Cijing's itch, and he said with a smile on his face: "It's easy to say!" When I go back to Guangyang next time, the first one is to invite my nephew and the three highnesses to dinner. ”

After saying goodbye to Zhou Cijing and He Jiugong, Qiu Yizhi had to pay for four bowls of wontons, but he didn't expect that he didn't bring money from the beginning, and he worked hard to touch the lightest and smallest gold ingots from the package sent by Zhou Cijing, and gave it to the wonton stall owner.

Unexpectedly, the stall owner didn't dare to accept it, saying that this piece of gold was not a few bowls of wontons, and even his own stall could sell seventeen or eighteen. In the end, it was Yu Chi Lianghong who took out a few copper plates and threw them to the stall owner, which was considered to be the end of the siege.

Qiu Yizhi was embarrassed again, and said: "Today, I received the grace of my brother's meal, and another day, my younger brother had the fate to encounter the sword blade, and I will buy it for my brother." ”

When Yu Chi Lianghong heard the meaning of his words, he asked, "Brother, are you going to say goodbye to your foolish brother?" ”

Qiu Yizhi nodded and said, "The little brother has been tired of my brother for the past few days, and I can't help it. Now that the little brother has achieved a big thing, he is going back to Guangyang. Although you and I have not known each other for a long time, they are like-minded, and we don't know when we will be able to meet again. ”

When Wei Chi Lianghong heard this, he was very open-minded and said, "Brother will see the outside world when he says so." If he hadn't met his brother, he wouldn't have had such adventures. My father once said: It is better to walk the rivers and lakes for a month than to practice in retreat for a year. Brother Fool also benefited a lot from this trip. What's more, the coming day is long, and the chance and coincidence can be guessed by very people, maybe you and my brother Keri can be happy together! ”

When Qiu Yizhi heard Wei Chi Lianghong say this, he felt a little better, so he said some words of mutual cherishment to him, and then left.

Bidding farewell to Zhou Cijing and Wei Chi Lianghong, Qiu Yizhi remembered that the old prime minister Yang Yuanzhi was a person that his father-in-law had asked him to see before leaving, and he didn't say goodbye to his old man, so he couldn't say anything about it, so he walked towards Yang Yuanzhi's mansion with the memory of the first day he came to Luoyang.

The distribution of various areas in Luoyang, the capital city, is extremely strict, and the neighborhood where Yang Yuanzhi is located is the private residence of Chao Zhihong's officials, so there are many fewer people who openly set off firecrackers to celebrate Wang Zhonghai's death, so the streets and alleys are also much cleaner.

Although the gate of Yang Yuanzhi's mansion is not large, the two small "Thirteen Taibao" stone lions are extremely conspicuous features. Qiu Yizhi didn't work hard, so he dissected it from the mansion of the officials and knocked lightly on the door.

The one who opened the door was still the old man surnamed Zhang, but when he saw Qiu Yizhi, he didn't seem to know him, and said, "Son, is this here to find someone?" ”

Qiu Yi thought to herself: This is really strange, could it be that this Lao Zhang also ate the poison prepared by Gu's mother? Then he said: "I came to find Prime Minister Yang, I came a few days ago, did Uncle Zhang remember?" ”

The old man didn't even look at Qiu Yi, and said, "The old man has never seen Gongzi." My grandfather has never seen anyone. Please go back to Childe. With that, there was a "bang" and the door was shut.

Qiu Yizhi was still puzzled, and knocked on the door again, but the doorkeeper Lao Zhang didn't even open the door this time.

Qiu Yizhi was anxious, the door knocked louder and louder, and the more he knocked on it, the more anxious he became, which shocked several other families, and they all poked their heads out to watch, and some people smiled weirdly: "Don't knock on this little brother." Prime Minister Yang has this temper, the person he doesn't want to see, you just climb over the wall to get in, how to get in will be thrown out for you......"

Qiu Yizhi listened, and finally didn't dare to call the door again, only with a stomach full of doubts, turned around and walked outside the alley.
