The Zhou family is a rigorous and kind family, several elders treat Qi You with more than one leniency, and they have never been contemptuous. Coupled with Zhou Han's extreme enthusiasm, Zhixing Qiyou will not have time to move out of the Zhou Mansion in the future.

And the wind direction in Kyoto is the clearest, and the news that the two people in the list live in Zhou Shilang's house spread for a few days. The identity of the child is not new, what is fresh is that the new hot children's enlightenment album in Kyoto and the poems in the literati fan are from the hands of these three people, the Zhou family inevitably added two Zhixing Qiyou when Zhou Han built momentum, after these three moves, some good people in Kyoto whether they are for flattery or sincere admiration, for a while, the literati hall, often mentioned between the three or five gatherings.

Therefore, although these three people are not at the top of the list, the reputation expected by the earlier spring return has been sufficient.

After the fame became popular, many invitations came to the door.

It is not uncommon for Juzi to be invited to talk about poetry and writing, as early as before the township examination, several Xiucai went to the door of a few small Beijing officials, not to mention that after the township examination, they are all pillars, and everyone wants to make a good hand in advance.

And the Zhou family did not regard this as a trivial matter, and the invitations sent included small officials from various ministries, all of whom were in the name of celebration, and there were also several officials from the eunuch family who were invited to write poems and commentaries. Zhou's father divided these invitations into two, and there was no problem with the gathering between the children, with Zhou Han taking the lead, not to mention that they were several children who knew each other well, and they had good character.

And the invitations sent by several officials were left by him, and he took the time to analyze them with Qi You and the three.

What he meant was not to deal with these Beijing officials too early, as they would inevitably have the meaning of dependence, and they would be inferior in the future.

"I'll tell you the truth, I'm not afraid of your two children being annoyed."

"You two and Boya and his grandfather's generation are generally from common farmers, and according to the custom of previous years, these people will never send invitations to you."

In previous years, Kyoto's large. The election is all because the local officials send the children here in groups, and they are attached to them and forced to stay in Kyoto, and the children of those civilian families are either frustrated or assigned to the local area according to the process, even if they stay in Kyoto, it is the most inconspicuous and inconspicuous stream.

"Zhixing and I both understand that if it weren't for Sister Chun's literati fan and the work of this album, we would only be students hidden among everyone, and we would not have had such a big momentum."

Everyone was raised by a good family, and they know better than them the way of being an official and the principles of dealing with the world. This is an insurmountable gap in just a few years.

Such a rare sobriety made Father Zhou can't help but praise in his heart.

"Did you two plan ahead of time?"

Qi You nodded humbly: "Last year's drought, now the Qizhou County Commander was urgently transferred over to relieve the disaster and comfort the people, because of the shortage of officials is still in office, this time, there are people living in temples, and there are people who want to have a place to settle down." ”

He glanced at Zhixing and continued, "We both belong to the place. ”

He belongs to Naqizhou, and he will not run far if he wants to.

Father Zhou was even more satisfied when he heard this.

When there was still a month left for the hometown test, there were many more gift letters in the hands of those minor officials in the ministry, all of which came to ask for the award of officials after the palace test, compared to those who begged people to worship the Buddha early to stay in Kyoto, Zhou's father obviously felt that these two people were smarter.

Zhou Han and his grandfather were the same back then, they worked hard in the local area to lay a solid foundation, and then slowly came to the top.

He nodded approvingly: "After the drought, Qizhou is a place that no one is willing to go over, and you can solve the problems of many people in the ministry when you report it." ”

And Zhou Han stayed in Kyoto, although it was difficult to give up, but he had already expected it.

He sighed: "Then I have to wait for you in Kyoto, we will always find a chance to meet in our lifetime!" ”

Zhixing raised his chin: "That's nature!" If you have to be good, then I have a backer in Kyoto! ”

Zhou Han couldn't help laughing: "Success!" Just to be a backer for the two of you, I also have to make some achievements! ”

Father Zhou snorted coldly when he heard this: "If you don't add to the chaos, it's done!" ”

Although he said reprimanding words in his mouth, everyone present knew that Father Zhou was obviously very happy in his heart.

Speaking of the invitation, Qi You and Zhixing both understood that Father Zhou was planning for them from the bottom of his heart, so the invitations of those officials were also sent away by him.

However, after the three of them went to a poetry meeting between the two lifts, they received an invitation that caught them off guard.

Settle the King of Qi.

This is not up to Zhou's father.

The four of them sat in the front hall, all silent.

The invitation card stated that the inscription of poems and paintings in the newly opened literati shop of the Guo family was the activity of the spring return in the shop in the town, and it was similar to the form of the poetry meeting held by those children a few days ago.

Although Qi You Zhixing has some reputation, it is far from the point where he can be remembered and invited by a prince.

And Zhou Han, although he has a father of the servant of the ministry, but the two families have nothing to do with each other, and the ministry has never caught the mistakes and omissions of this prince, he should remember those imperial histories.

Qi You pressed his beating eyebrows, and after a moment of silence, he spoke: "Since he invited, we have no reason to refuse, Uncle Zhou doesn't need to worry, we will go by ourselves." ”

Don't go, they are not afraid of being recorded, but Zhou's father is in the court, and he still has to face this prince every day, he looks down and doesn't look up, he is the prince, and the emperor is in charge of it for a while, if he has a grudge, it is always Zhou's father who suffers.

Zhou Shilang sighed: "Do you also feel that something is wrong?" ”

Qi You hooked the corners of his mouth: "Invited in the Guo family's shop, I'm afraid that we don't know that he knows the relationship between us and the Guo family." ”

What does it matter? Naturally, it's the album and the porcelain hidden in the depths.

The hand-painted porcelain he was thinking about would never be forgotten at once, and this invitation was only afraid that the drunkard did not mean to drink.

Zhou Han frowned: "We also went to the Guo family's main store and talked to Miss Guo for a while, and he found us?" You won't find Sister Chun, will you? ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the smile on Qi You's face stopped, and even Zhixing's face was difficult to look at.

"Then we have to go to the bottom of it, there is nothing that such a royal magnate can't find."

"You just make a preparation, if it's really for the hand-painted porcelain, you find an excuse to refuse, and we'll discuss it together when we come back!" Father Zhou slapped the board directly.

After lunch on the second day, the three of them walked to the shop in the busiest part of Kyoto Street.

The Guo family's business for decades, the main store is entrenched in the center of the street, it is a three-story shop, the first time I came back I didn't notice it, but now I see, even the stairs are made of hundred-year-old ash wood, the counter is lined with antique porcelain, and the tables and chairs on the first floor are placed in an orderly manner.

I was not surprised to see Qi You, as if they had known each other early, they bent down and saluted one by one, and they all called their surnames.

Zhixing was puzzled, so a little steward greeted him with a smile: "A few masters, no, no, no, it's a few masters!" When our young lady left, she specially said that she should be entertained when she sees the three of you! ”

Guo Ruyi's thoughts made the three teenagers with somewhat solemn expressions finally smile.

Zhixing returned a salute: "I have made an appointment today, thank you to this steward." ”

"Ouch, don't dare to be, don't dare to be!" The steward hurriedly stepped back: "The three masters are at their own convenience." ”

The three of them didn't dare to delay too much and walked to the third floor.

Unlike the Spring Return, the Guo family's shop has a private room on the third floor, and you can enjoy one exclusively after paying the silver. The place where King Qi made an appointment is the middle of the third floor.

Push the window is the busiest street.

There were two little men guarding the door, and when they saw them coming, they opened the door courteously.

Qi You glanced at each other and entered the room with a smile.

As soon as they entered the room, they saw a young man of the same age as them sitting and tasting wine, and the plates in front of him were all the snacks and fruits they were most familiar with. I said you wouldn't come! ”

With such a heartiness, no one can see that this is a gentleman who wants to grab something.

Only the next sentence made the three of them giggle in unison.

He said: "The young lady of the Guo family is so affectionate with you, and I have to ask someone to make an appointment in advance of the private room here, but she has reserved one for you alone, this kind of friendship is really enviable!" ”

Qi You reacted, smiled lightly and bowed: "The prince said that he was laughing, it was just the friendship of going out of the same country, and going out to help each other." ”

"Oh?" The little prince turned the ceramic cup painted with green bamboo in his hand, and said intentionally: "Because they are fellow villagers, the album business is done together, and this hand-painted porcelain is also signed together, and the Kyoto bowl is full of pots?" ”

The three of them had a face-to-face meal, and they really guessed correctly, this prince was really not good, and he was eyeing them.

is still a gentleman, as soon as he enters the door, he will see through the bottom, and he will say what he wants, and he will not beat around the bush.

King Qi pointed to the other stools: "Although the two of you are from the poor countryside, they are worth a lot, why are you still dressed so simply, Zhou Han, you also have a vision, and when you went to the countryside, you actually asked you to dig out two pieces of gold, but you got a lot of benefits, right?!" ”

He turned his head and jokingly said, half a sentence that made people listen to it in a variety of uncomfortable ways.

directly put Qi You and Zhixing in a lower position.

Zhou Han held back his stomach: "The prince said that he laughed, Zhixing Qiyou and Miss Guo are fellow villagers, but they are the same robe as me, and between the three of us, they often take care of me." If you want to talk about benefits, you have indeed gained a lot, and it is too tacky to measure it only by the money you earn. ”

As soon as the words fell, King Qi had a faint anger on his face, as if he didn't expect Zhou Han to be so bold to refute him.

Qi You immediately spoke: "The prince is deaf and clear-sighted, and he can see our small actions at a glance, and the small fights are not worth mentioning, and the prince is serious." ”

When King Qi heard this, he lay back and looked at them leisurely, and only after a while, did he throw out a sentence: "Your relationship is good...... Have a seat. ”

The three of them sat down at the table without changing their faces, and King Qi instructed the little servants next to him to move the dim sum towards them.

"Speaking of which, you have been away from home for more than a month, and you haven't tasted your family's craftsmanship for a long time, so I'm afraid you should think about it!"

This sentence was more serious than the one just now, and Zhixing, who was so breathless, immediately raised his eyes to look at him.

In a word, the face is enthusiastic, but it points to the return of spring.

Looking at the other table on the side, the blank fan pen, ink, paper and inkstone are all engraved with the self-created paintings of Chungui.

This prince really checked their family.

Qi You's heart sank slightly, and after checking it thoroughly, I was afraid that he was determined to ask for the hand-painted porcelain.

King Qi didn't seem to see the three of them, and his face was heavy, and he continued: "These little guys in my hands are very happy with these snacks, and I, I occasionally taste some of them, but what I like the most is this hand-painted porcelain. ”

He lifted the porcelain cup again, turned around, and looked at them meaningfully: "I don't know if Miss Guo is willing to part with love." ”

"Or maybe I'm looking for the wrong person."

He hooked the corners of his mouth and looked at Qi You: "The person I should be looking for is not Miss Guo, but ......"

Before he finished speaking, Qi You had already raised his eyes to look over and said lightly:

"Speaking of which, I also want to thank the prince for last year's disaster relief funds, I was in ruins after the drought in Qizhou, and I almost starved to death on the mountain, and the prince's rice and grain were relieved of the temporary hardship."

No one expected Qi You's words to make this prince full of anger.

"You!" King Qi got up abruptly and directly broke the leisurely look on his face: "You threaten me?!" ”

"You civilians from the countryside dare to threaten me?!"

Disaster relief?! Who doesn't know that this is his year's salary, and he was specially punished by the Holy Lord and sent to the land of great drought?!

Why was he punished, just because he took a fancy to a baby, and snatched it again, he was sued by Yushi who grabbed the pigtail by grabbing it.

"What's the matter, I just got the title and put on an official position before I was awarded the official, and I want to be that mediocre imperial history in the future?!"

As soon as he was furious, the two little guys guarding the door immediately entered, and the fox and tiger were full of momentum beside him.

Qi You got up and saluted, with no waves on his face: "The prince is serious, Xiaomin doesn't dare, just a thanks, the prince doesn't take it to heart, Xiaomin has to secretly remember in his heart, just wait for one day to be able to repay one or two." ”

King Qi laughed angrily and rubbed the remaining dim sum crumbs in his hand: "Very good, it is really a phoenix flying out of the mountain nest, so daring!" ”

"You don't want to see if you have the fate to go to Beijing, whether you have the fate to go back to the glory of the ancestors!"

Qi You also smiled: "Thank you for the prince's praise, whether you have a life depends on the prince, whether you repay the prince or not depends on me, the palace test is imminent, I hope that the prince and the people will go smoothly, and thank the prince at that time." ”

"There are all kinds of good things in the world, the prince's love is love, and you should be careful when playing, just like this porcelain, although the treasure is self-shattering, it also hurts the prince's hand."
