Chapter Seventy-One: Encountered
Before Zhou Qing finished eating a bowl of wontons, Shen Li turned back.
"So fast?"
Drinking the soup sprinkled with shrimp skin in the bowl, Zhou Qing said to Shen with a mouthful of fragrance.
Shen Li snorted, "It's not much." ”
Words are not speculative for more than half a sentence!
As he was talking, a familiar figure came into Zhou Qing's eyes.
Zhou Huaihai was helped down from a delicately decorated carriage by the coachman.
When he got out of the car, he was greeted by two men who looked to be the same age as him with smiles on their faces.
"Brother Zhou!"
Zhou Huaihai shook the expensive robe on his body, hugged his fists and smiled, his expression was slightly arrogant, "I made the two brothers wait for a long time, and there was something at home when I went out, and it was delayed a little." ”
Before going out, I received a letter from Zhou Yuan.
In addition to reporting his current situation in Kyoto, he sent home a thousand taels of silver tickets.
As he spoke, Zhou Huaihai raised his eyes and looked at the tea shop.
frowned, "This is it?" ”
A man in a stone blue robe smiled and said: "A few days ago, Brother Zhou said that he wanted to eat wontons, and the two of us ran all over the large and small wonton shops in the city, and finally ate it. ”
As he spoke, the two made a gesture of please.
"Brother Zhou, you're here, try it."
Zhou Huaihai raised his feet with pickiness in his eyes and stepped forward with a little disgust, "In this kind of place, I advise the two brothers to come less, eating unclean things and making stomach troubles is a trivial matter, and it is not a joke to die someone." ”
As they spoke, the three of them sat down at the table behind Zhou Qing.
Zhou Qing and Shen Li glanced at each other, Zhou Qing lowered his head, and slowly drank the wonton soup in the bowl.
The two men had already ordered the wontons, and as soon as Zhou Huaihai sat down, the shopkeeper immediately brought three bowls up.
Steaming large wontons, with chicken broth as a base, are topped with chopped green onions and small shrimp skin, and the rising heat is filled with a tantalizing aroma.
Zhou Huaihai picked a wonton entrance.
The two men next to him looked at him expectantly, and when he chewed twice, the two of them said in unison, "How?" Brother Zhou? ”
Zhou Huaihai said: "It's hard for you, this wonton is really good, it's the location of this shop, it's really dirty!" ”
The two men were confused and looked left and right.
The shop is very clean.
Zhou Huaihai sneered: "I'm not saying that his environment is dirty, I mean this location is dirty!" ”
"Dirty location?"
Zhou Huaihai glanced at the pen and ink shop in front of him.
"You don't know yet, do you?"
As soon as they heard Zhou Huaihai's words, there was something in the words, and the two immediately said, "Brother Zhou, what's the matter?" ”
Zhou Huaihai sighed.
"In this county test, the head of this case should have been Sun Jin, the son of Brother Sun, but do you know why the head of the case became Hillbilly Zhou Huaishan?"
As soon as he heard Zhou Huaihai say this, Zhou Qing's action of drinking soup froze.
Shen Li crossed Zhou Qing's shoulders and looked at the person behind her with a cold gaze.
"Why?" The two of them beside Zhou Huaihai were very curious,
Zhou Huaihai took another bite of the wonton, and then said slowly: "It's not because Zhou Huaishan has accepted a good apprentice!" ”
"Good apprentice?"
"Zhou Huaishan's apprentice is the boss of this ink shop! Before the exam, the boss of the pen and ink studio gave a lot of good things to the county magistrate, you say, who else can he be if the head of this case is not him! ”
As soon as he heard this, Shen Li's already cold eyes suddenly became cold.
Seeing that Shen Li was about to get up, Zhou Qing raised his hand and pressed Shen Li's hand, signaling him to sit down.
Shen Li looked at Zhou Qing.
Zhou Qing slowly put down the chopsticks in his hand, and then took out a piece of paper from his arms.
The moment he saw the paper, Shen Li was taken aback, and then couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, and then looked at Zhou Qing, his eyes were full of doting.
Zhou Qing squeezed his eyes at Shen Li, shook the paper in his hand, got up and walked towards Zhou Huaihai.
Zhou Huaihai was sitting with his back to Zhou Qing, and he didn't know what was going to happen at the moment.
"But, Zhou Huaishan, a hillbilly, the boss of this ink shop, how did he become his apprentice?"
After eating another wonton, Zhou Huaihai's eyes were glowing with gloom, and he said: "Zhou Huaishan's daughter is in time this year, who would have thought what method she used!" ”
As soon as these words came out, the meaning was self-evident.
The other two men laughed.
"How does Brother Zhou know about this?"
At the moment when Zhou Huaihai was about to speak, Zhou Qing stretched out his hand and patted Zhou Huaihai on the shoulder.
The two men looked at Zhou Qing in astonishment.
As soon as Zhou Huaihai turned around, he was shocked when he saw Zhou Qing at a glance.
The wonton that was just put in the mouth was swallowed whole before it could be chewed.
The choked Zhou Huaihai stared straight at him.
Zhou Qing patted Zhou Huaihai on the shoulder and sat down in the seat next to him.
He slapped the paper on the table.
The words were directed towards the two men, against Zhou Huaihai.
But even if it was the other way around, Zhou Huaihai still recognized what that piece of paper was at a glance!
It was the piece of paper that Wang Qiang and his father and mother went to make trouble, and they pressed their handprints.
Zhou Huaihai's face turned purple and blue.
Zhou Qingyi raised his eyebrows, "I'm also curious, how do you know what you said?" ”
Zhou Huaihai saw that the two men looked at the contents of the paper, and immediately got up to grab the paper.
Shen Li was behind him, and a peanut popped up.
Zhou Huaishan only felt that his knee joint was numb, and he was about to stand up, plop and sit back.
Zhou Qing took the paper back, folded it unhurriedly, and then turned his palms upwards to Zhou Huaihai, "Two hundred taels!" One slandered my father for you, and the other slandered me for you. ”
Zhou Huaihai was shocked just now, but at this moment, he also eased up a little.
"You went out with this?"
Zhou Qing rolled his eyes, "You care about me!" Hurry up, get the money! ”
"Are you going to rob it? This is a county seat, not a countryside, as you please! Looking at Zhou Qing with disgust, Zhou Huaihai raised his voice and scolded, "Hurry up, otherwise, I will report to the official!" ”
Zhou Qing smiled, "Okay!" Report to the officer! Just so let's go and ask the county magistrate, what are the many good things that Shen Li gave him! Whoever doesn't go is a bastard! ”
Slapping the table, Zhou Qing got up.
stepped on the bench with one foot and looked at Zhou Huaihai aggressively.
There was a lot of commotion here, and it quickly attracted some onlookers.
Hey?
Isn't this the girl who violently refused to marry last time?
The two men beside Zhou Huaihai clearly saw the contents of the paper just now.
I had a rough guess in my mind.
Scold!
Brother Zhou this time, he said bad things about people and let the main owner hear it.
There was a lively look.
Look at the lively fear that the stage is low.
One person said in a strange manner: "What kind of thing are you, you dare to argue with Brother Zhou, do you know where Brother Zhou's son is now?" ”
Zhou Qing didn't look at the man, and only said to Zhou Huaihai: "Unless your son becomes the emperor, otherwise, this white paper, black and red handprint, don't want to deny it, whether you will go to the county government or not!" Hurry up, don't delay your aunt's time! ”
Zhou Qing said unkindly, Zhou Huaihai's face was purple.
Onlookers pointed.
Zhou Huaihai waved his hand, with his usual disappointment on his face.
"How can you talk to me, your father doesn't even teach you the least respect for your elders? Return the head of the case, that's it, is virtue worthy! ”
