The second wife, Zhuo, sat down and acted on her words. Within two days, he discussed with the second old lady about the slave children's school, and invited the patriarch's wife to reveal the tone, and seeing that there was no opposition from the elders and the clan, he sent someone to inform the Hou Ye and asked Zhou Nian to come over.

Hou Ye was very surprised, and he was still a little unhappy in his heart. He originally thought that although Zhou Nian was older, he still had talents, and the companion reading was just a disguise, the key was to let Bachelor Liu see Zhou Nian, as long as Zhou Nian could attract the attention of the other party, and then ask about the origin, with Zhou Nian's father's talent and upright temper, as well as Zhou Nian's style and talent, most of them could arouse Bachelor Liu's sympathy.

Bachelor Liu is not a powerful person with real power, but he has a respected position in the clear stream, as long as he says two good words for the Zhou family's unjust case in his speech, even if it is just revealing a little meaning, it can become a bargaining chip for the Zhou family to overturn the case! The case of the Zhou family, in fact, everyone in the DPRK and China knows that they were wronged. It's just because King Ke tightened the words "decided by the first emperor", claiming that once the current saint is changed, it is unfilial, and all possibilities for rehabilitation are suppressed. In addition, the case is very old, and most of the people who were good friends with the Zhou family back then were defeated in that turmoil, and the others were afraid of being implicated, so they hid far away. Even the people in the Qingliu are taboo about the crime of "disrespecting the first emperor", and they dare not speak fairly. Hou Ye calculated, Master Liu is recognized as a master of scripture, highly respected in the government and the opposition, if he reveals a little bit of style, he has his own protégé to ponder, as long as there is a direction of wind in the court, he will throw out "The first emperor was confused by traitorous ministers to make this judgment, and it is the great filial piety to punish the evil for the holy name of the first emperor", why can't the Zhou family case be rehabilitated? And himself, for the sake of his friend, and this friend is still a member of Qingliu, and he has raised his friend's bloodline for many years, plus he has dismissed King Ke's criticism for the sake of the saint, and his reputation will definitely go to a higher level!

In fact, Hou Ye knows in his heart, he has reached this age, this status, and there is no need to seek any fame and fortune, but the future of his children and grandchildren. He still has to fight. Although the eldest daughter is a princess and has a son, but in the past two years, his son-in-law King Jing has accepted several concubines, although the eldest daughter is angry, but those concubines are given by the palace, she has no choice, but she has not been able to have another son, like this, if there is a mistake in the future, will his younger son not lose his arm? Thinking about his family again, the eldest son has already split up, and the second son has married a bad family affair, because he is worried that this son will be affected, he does not dare to mention the separation again. The two in-laws, whether it is the Fan family or the Hai family of the maternal family, cannot help, and the Fan family has recently had some unclear changes. If he doesn't fight for some bargaining chips for the Qingguo Marquis Mansion, he will die in the future, and this family will definitely decline!

It's rare for brothers to compete and do well in foreign office. The official reputation is good, and he is reused, but unfortunately he was ignorant when he was young, and he was a little estranged from this brother, so he could only try to make up for it. But he can't put his hopes entirely on his brothers' family! Now he is in Taoguang and secretly trying to find a way to help, since there is a chance to let the Hou Mansion get in touch with the Qingliu civil officials, in order to make the Zhou family's rehabilitated death come alive, and in order to add a few help to his family, he has to give it a try anyway!

However, no matter how well he plans, it is useless if his younger siblings do not cooperate. If he really asked Zhou Nian to be that kind of teacher, even if he taught hundreds of slave children, it would not help the Zhou family's case! I can't even make friends with Mr. Liu! How can this work?!

However, he has already spoken the word, so what reason can he use to regret it at this time?

Maybe...... Is there any hope? For example, let Zhou Nian communicate with his nephew in addition to teaching?

Zhuo didn't know anything about the entanglement of the eldest uncle, but after everything was ready, he directly called someone to go on a mission. Originally, it was a request made by Hou Ye, but after sending someone out, people didn't take it as a companion to read, but asked him to teach, so he refused, right? Zhuo's family was very reasonable, and he kept saying that he cared about his old friends, and refused to snub Yunyun, Hou Ye weighed it again, and finally reluctantly let Zhou Nian go to Dongfu, but he didn't forget to tell him. Be sure to find a chance to meet Bachelor Liu, or find a way to befriend your nephew Li Dun, and try to get your nephew to mention his name in front of Bachelor Liu.

Zhou Nian has been suspicious of this elder who has been respected and respected since he was a child, and then he was ostracized and ridiculed by other Qing guests and scholars in the outer study, and was bullied a few times by the servants who accompanied the Liang family, and he was extremely sad. He fell seriously ill and returned to the outer study to continue to be ostracized, but he was unwilling to tell Hou Ye and Li You about these grievances, so the situation became more and more difficult. In addition, Li You was ordered by his father to study, so he reduced the number of times he came to see him, and Hou Ye was busy all day long, rarely seeing him, Zhou Nian faintly felt that he should have been given up, right? Later, Hou Ye suddenly told him that he had a chance to get in touch with everyone like Master Liu, not only to be taught by him, but also to win a big help, Zhou Nian was very excited. He tried his best to express himself, but he was rejected by Dongfu, seeing that his expectations were empty, looking at Hou Ye's frowning appearance, he was really discouraged.

Now the opportunity came to him again. He was already a little numb. He didn't have hope, but with the encouragement of his friends Li You and Chunying, he had the idea of trying his best, and he has put all his energy into this matter in the past few years, maybe he is destined to be an official slave for the rest of his life. With the name of the first emperor pressing, who dares to rehabilitate his family? Dongfu asked him to teach the children of slaves to read, and he went, at least, he was indoctrination and teaching, not slavery and humiliation.

I took an errand. Zhou Nian wanted to go to Dongfu to kowtow and thank him, listen to the instructions and arrangements of Manager Xu, and prepare all the things to be used for teaching. Because he was the son of an old friend, the second old lady specially summoned him to meet. He went, because the house was full of women, he kept his head down, quietly replied, and occasionally raised his head slightly to answer, but he couldn't help but be surprised when he saw Chunying next to the second old lady.

Wasn't Chunying thrown to Zhuangzi?! He told Li You several times, and Li You agreed well at first, but then became impatient for some reason. He wondered if Li You's friendship with him had changed with the failure of rehabilitation, so he had to hold back and stop talking, he didn't expect to see Chunying here. What the hell is going on?!

The surprise on Zhou Nian's face flashed, and although he quickly calmed down, he still let everyone see it. The second wife sat on the side and said with a smile: "I have long heard that Miss Chunying cleaned the house for you in the past, so she must have remembered the old man?" ”

Zhou Nian didn't know how to answer, Chun Ying was afraid of being suspected, so she smiled and said, "Young Master Zhou, have you forgotten who I am?" Once upon a time, when you first returned to the capital, you lived in a small courtyard in the back street, and the third young master had ordered me to clean your house, and I was only eleven or twelve years old at that time! ”

Zhou Nian smiled crampedly: "Yes...... I remember...... I was tired of the girl back then......" he heard Chunying's hint.

Chun Ying secretly glanced at the second old lady and the second wife, and saw that there was no uncertainty on their faces, so she continued to smile: "After I left the Hou Mansion, I went to the East Mansion to wait for the second old lady." I heard that Young Master Zhou is going to be a gentleman in our family's school, and it is a good thing to be a teacher. I would like to congratulate you here, and ask Young Master Zhou to teach his students well, but don't let down the good intentions of our old lady and wife. ”

Zhou Nian had completely calmed down, and bowed to the second old lady when he heard this: "Zhou Nian is definitely not an ungrateful person, and he will live up to the trust of the old lady and his wife!" "Worship the second wife again.

Although the second old lady and the second wife's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law did not expect him to be truly grateful, they were still very happy to see that he was courteous and respectful. So he ordered a reward of ten taels of silver and a few new clothes, so that he could make up for some things and nourish his body.

Because the second old lady rewarded the medicinal herbs again, in order to inform Bailing, Chun Ying didn't wait for them to finish speaking, and left the house halfway. The things were sent directly to Zhou Nian's house, and after Chun Ying counted them, she ordered someone to send them, and was about to go back to the main house, when she saw Zhou Nian walking out head-on, thinking that she was ending the meeting and was about to leave.

When Zhou Nian saw her, he stopped, only to feel that his feet weighed a thousand pounds, and he didn't know what to say, and he thought that he had ended up in such a situation, Chunying became a big girl with a head and a face, would she look down on herself? As soon as the thought arose, it was immediately struck. Chunying has never had such an idea, she is naturally different from others, this kind of thought, it is simply to look down on her! It's just that...... Zhou Nian glanced around, after all, this is the inner courtyard, and there are others here, if he talks to Chunying alone, will it be harmful to her reputation? Hesitating this, hesitating that, Zhou Nian couldn't open his mouth.

Chunying is down-to-earth and generous. Although she knew that in ancient times, talking privately between men and women would provoke gossip, but firstly, she had already mentioned that she knew Zhou Nian in front of the big *oss, and if she avoided it, she would seem to be weak-hearted, and secondly, she also wanted to know Zhou Nian's current situation and comforted her. So she stepped forward and said with a smile: "Young Master Zhou, it's been a long time, you seem to have been a little less clear recently, please look at everything, the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, and it has not reached the end of the day, why be discouraged?" ”

Seeing this, Zhou Nian thought that Chunying was on an errand here, since he dared to take the initiative to speak, it could be seen that he had something to rely on, so he no longer had scruples, and said with a wry smile: "Hopeless things, it's useless to think about it." It's good to be like this now......" moved in his heart, and suddenly had a thought, and he hurriedly looked at Chunying and asked, "The second wife already asked me to go back, and suddenly asked me to teach the students...... It's your ......."

Chunying smiled: "Is this...... In short, you just have to remember that it is the grace of our old lady and wife. I'm just a girl, and I don't dare to take the credit. ”

What else does Zhou Nian not understand? suddenly remembered that after hearing that Chunying was punished, he hesitated to save her, and couldn't help but feel ashamed. When Chunying was in trouble, he only thought about himself, didn't help, and couldn't help afterwards, but he was in a difficult situation today, but it was Chunying's proposal that pulled him along. How did he have the face to see her?!

Chunying saw him blushing, and wondered in her heart, thinking that he was embarrassed by his words, and hurriedly comforted: "I don't know how your life is now, I just think that Mr. Teaching is better than being a servant, and the second old lady and the second wife are also good masters, and they never treat their subordinates harshly...... I know you've always had your own opinions and ambitions...... Maybe I'm troubled? ”

Zhou Nian hurriedly shook his head: "No, no......" paused, and smiled bitterly, "The girl saved me...... You've saved me again...... But I ...... But I ...... I'm so sorry for you......"

Chunying didn't know that he was talking about his punishment, and thought he was referring to the failure to help him get out of his nationality after being rehabilitated, so he smiled and said, "What's that?" What can you do if you haven't been rehabilitated yourself? I'm not such a stingy person, not to mention the future, I have already planned for a long time, I don't have to rely on your help, you can teach well in the future, that's also one...
