Zhou Zheda went and returned, and walked in front of Qing Changgui, his eyes were blazing: "Everyone in the world says that they are officials, and they know the way of being officials, so it is common for officials to protect each other in the officialdom, what is the way of being an official in your opinion?" ”

Qing Changgui was stunned, looked Zhou Zheda up and down, and saw that his momentum was extraordinary, not angry and self-assured, and there was a kind of eclectic free and easy, and he suddenly had a good impression.

"Those who are officials should benefit one party, and the so-called way of being an official is only to achieve this goal; It's just that how many people can really do it in the officialdom? And the real way of being an official has gradually lost its original sincerity. There was a sense of loss in his words, and he did not hide his boredom with officialdom.

"Thou knowest that a gentleman is harmonious and not flowing; Strong. Neutral and unleaning, strong and correct. Zhou Zheda sighed, still looking at him with blazing eyes.

He was in good spirits, he only saw the darkness of officialdom before, and he only felt that he would be the same as that person when he entered the official career, but he never thought of sticking to his heart and sticking to his principles.

"Thank you, sir, for your teachings." He bent his body, and did not have any delicate air as the son of the Qinhou and the father of the county king.

"You don't need to be polite, you can comprehend what others cannot, prove that you do have real talent and real learning, and the mysteries of the Tao are not something that ordinary people like us can comprehend, but what you know can be integrated into what you have learned, and then apply what you have learned to educate the world."

"Sir, praise falsely!"

"You get up, it's the township test in a short time, do you want to take it?"

"I" he hesitated again.

"You are a brilliant learner, if you don't use what you have learned to the officialdom and benefit the people, it is a pity, and this official hopes that you can consider it carefully." Zhou Zheda frowned when he saw it, and suddenly thought of the words of the market, and then thought of his previous loss, and instantly understood that he must be tired of officialdom, but it would be a pity if such a person could not do something for the people and the Celestial Empire, so he showed his identity and persuaded him.

"What?" Qing Changgui was startled, looking at the slightly older person in front of him, dressed in regular clothes, wearing a soft hat, his face was like jade, his tiger eyes were vigorous, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, that is, friendly and alienated, the little guy behind him was dressed ordinary, but the fabric was excellent, it can be seen that his background was extraordinary, and he suddenly woke up at this time, and the person in front of him should be the newly arrived Lord Zhizhou.

"Xiao Sheng has seen Lord Zhou!" Thinking of this, he hurriedly got up and bowed respectfully, this Zhou Zheda has always been famous, is a rare good official, although there are voices of dissatisfaction with it in the officialdom, but it is not strong, the most important thing is that it has won the sacred heart, so that those who are dissatisfied with him cast a mouse, thus creating opportunities for him, wherever he has stayed, are singing and dancing, peaceful, and he has won the hearts of the people.

"It turned out to be Lord Zhou? I've seen Lord Zhou! ”

"I didn't expect Lord Zhou to come here too."

“”

When everyone learned of his identity, they flocked to gather, making him slightly stunned, and he never thought that he had just arrived and could be sought after by all the students, Qing Changgui was even more surprised and was rushed away by the crowd, and when he reacted, he was no longer Zhou Zheda and his little servant.

Although Qingyan was in the room, he thought of this kind of scene from the turmoil outside, and immediately sent Ling Feng with his men to disperse the students, and then looked at Zhou Zheda at this time, although he was still well-dressed, the tea in front of him had been spilled, making his face ugly, and it was difficult to say anything.

"You-"

"It's fine!"

The people behind him were indignant, and just wanted to scold, he raised his right hand slightly, said lightly, just got up, dusted off the water stains on his body, and looked at everyone with a smile: "I didn't expect that I, Zhou Zheda, have only been in office for a few days, and I have won such popular support, which shows that my way of being an official has been recognized by you, but today is Jing Yixuan's debate, and it is Zhenyu Junjun who personally made the question, so it's better not to go off topic; What do you say? ”

"Yes! What Master Zhou said is that the students will study the topic of the Junjun, and if there is anything inappropriate, I hope that Lord Zhou will give more advice. ”

When the students saw the embarrassment on his body, they felt guilty, and then when they heard his words, they immediately echoed it, and looked at the stone painting intently, but the corner of their eyes was still on him.

"I've seen Lord Zhou, I've seen the fourth master!" Yi Han appeared at the right time, smiling.

"You?" Qing Changgui never thought that he would see her here, if she was here, didn't it mean that his daughter was also here?

"Fourth master, the young lady has been here for a while, but there are many men here, and it is inconvenient to show up, and now that I hear that Lord Zhou is here, I specially ask the slave maid to invite Lord Zhou and the master to sit in the private room."

"This"

"That's the case, the official went to sit down, and it happened that the little girl in the family wanted to go to Yanyou College to study, so the official gave up his face and begged your county." Zhou Zheda's eyes lit up, he had heard about this county gentleman for a long time, and he had never seen a real person, today his daughter went to the academy to study, but was driven back, it is said that because he did not act according to the rules, he didn't want to ask for anything for his daughter, but he just felt that the little woman could also set up iron-blooded rules, which was not easy, so he wanted to see it.

Qing Changgui felt that it was inappropriate and wanted to refuse, but when he heard the latter's words, he had to give up, followed Yi Han, and walked into the only private room on the second floor under the helpless and curious gaze of a group of students.

"Qingyan has seen Lord Zhou and seen his father!"

As soon as he entered, he saw a ten-year-old girl wearing a light purple lotus skirt, her hair combed into a double bun, a pair of peach blossom eyes looking forward to shining, and between the opening and closing of the cherry mouth, like a clear spring and a childish voice slowly came out, which made people's hearts ripple, and because of the purity in it, it could not give rise to the slightest charming heart.

"I've always heard of the name of Zhenyu Junjun, and today I see that it really deserves its name!" He said and sat down.

"Lord Zhou laughed, this should be Zhenyu said to adults!"

"Haha——, good! Worthy of the saint's appreciation of you, calm manners, dignified and polite, and Mr. Yang's close disciple, it can be seen that your excellence is not just as simple as what you see in front of you, but at a young age, you have the world in mind and have a good heart, which is your greatest preciousness. ”

"Yes! Zhenyu has written it down, and he will not forget it! ”

Zhou Zheda smiled, looked at her quietly for a moment, thought of her little daughter's admiration for her, and muttered to herself: I was worried that she would be pampered and arrogant, so I always had doubts about her in my heart, but when I saw it today, I was relieved, if my daughter could contact and grow up with such an excellent girl, it would not be bad.

"Now there is only your daughter here, you might as well say what you think, the township test is coming in a blink of an eye, can Changgui participate?" He changed his words and looked at Qing Changgui, this talent is what he pays attention to.

"Student—"

"Father, daughter has something to say."

"Okay, you say!"

"Father, my daughter knows that you don't like to be an official, but you don't like some of the atmosphere of officialdom, but in my daughter's opinion, we can't decide what kind of environment we are in, but we can decide ourselves, just like Lord Zhou in front of you, can you say that you are not a good official? Can you say that he's also the same person you hate? Officials protect each other, officialdom is dark, no matter when and where it will exist, where there are people, there will be disputes, and if there are disputes, there will be no means, and what we have to do is to be worthy of our hearts. ”

"Good! A good sentence is worthy of your heart, Changgui, you have a good daughter, you already have this knowledge at a young age, why do you hesitate? I dare to say that you will definitely become a good official loved by the people in the future, but this is the first step, I don't know why you are so difficult. ”

Qing Changgui shook his head and smiled, in the past, he had also aspired to officialdom and benefit one party, until he met that person, and saw with his own eyes how the other party was speculative, and witnessed the death of a person who was more capable than that person, now think about it, if the latter did not die, that person was afraid that he would not have a chance to go to a high position at all, and now if he stepped into the official career, he would inevitably let the other party discover the identity of the little scholar back then, not to mention his power, only to say that his heart is ruthless, it is possible to bring infinite crises to his family, so since that incident, He traveled everywhere to study, concealed his identity, and the next flood nearly swallowed his life, but also saved him from the pursuit of the other party.

But now, in the face of the situation at home, in the face of his daughter's forced gaze, and in the face of Lord Zhou's appreciation, he suddenly felt that blindly avoiding was not the solution, and the unwillingness to bury in his heart for many years, justice gradually awakened at this moment, and maybe it was really time to face it.

Thinking of this, he nodded emphatically: "Township test, I will definitely participate!" ”

"Good! What a trip today! Zhou Zheda shouted loudly, in a very good mood.

"Student, I've seen Mr. here!" Qing Changgui turned around and bowed deeply.

"Good! Good! Haha-" Zhou Zheda smiled heartily, when he saw his talent, he thought about accepting him as a protégé, and now he has not said anything, he has bowed to his disciples, and he is extremely happy.

Qingyan stood aside and smiled the same way, but he didn't know that Chang Tianyou and Yuan Ruyi came quietly at the east gate of Qingzhou, and they seemed to be walking around the city at will, but in fact, they went around to the door of Chen Dong's house, looked around for a while, and turned to leave.

Soon after, he walked into Jing Yi Xuan, booked two upper rooms under Ling Feng's surprised gaze, and saw the stone paintings he made at the stairs leading from the second floor to the third floor.

At the same time, Qing Changgui and Zhou Zheda walked out of the private room with a smile, and slowly walked towards the first floor, Chang Tianyou turned around at this time, and saw a light purple skirt in the corner, and the smile inadvertently climbed on the resolute face, full of softness.

"Godless, are you sure the news is accurate?"

"The news from Chang Wei will not be false, but I remember that the person named Chen Dong has always been the king of Zhenyu County."

"You're saying this has something to do with that little junjun?"

"Not sure, but can't be ruled out!" He frowned, dissatisfied with the little word.

"If it's really her hand, it will be troublesome, she has been secretly on the prince's side."

"No, Uncle Crown Prince is not like that."

"That was before, who is sure of the current prince? I heard that a few days ago, there was another batch of maidservants in his house, and the ones who were replaced were either dead or disabled. ”

Chang Tianyou was silent, his eyes were contemplative, and he also had doubts about this, but he still believed that the prince was by no means a person who killed indiscriminately, and there must be a reason for such an approach, but what was the matter with her?
