Liu Xiucai was stunned for a moment.

"A craftsman's shop should have it."

Zhou Qi thanked him, and rushed to the craftsman's shop, not for anything else, but he didn't want to sleep on those two long benches anymore today.

Then he went to the market to buy some food and bedding.

And that Liu Xiucai did not leave, he stayed behind Zhou Qi, and saw that Zhou Qi bought a lot of things, and took the initiative to help share a few things.

Zhou Qi felt a little guilty in his heart, and he couldn't bear it anymore before he asked: "I said, I'm not a big girl, what are you doing with me?" ”

"Hahaha......"

Liu Xiucai laughed: "Little brother said that it was funny, my wife and concubine in my family have been divided into five rooms, but it is just a rare meeting of bosom friends and making friends." ”

Well, it's better not to say this.

"Liu Xiucai thinks highly of me, I'm only a reckless man in the mountains, I'm not worthy."

Zhou Qi didn't have a good attitude towards him, so he hurriedly waved his hand, with rejection written on his face.

"Too modest, I see that you are brilliant and active, if you participate in the scientific examination in the future, you will definitely be a person on the list."

Zhou Qi was stunned for a moment, scientific research? He hadn't thought about it yet, and in the current situation, he just wanted to make money.

As the two spoke, they had already walked to the place where the ox cart and others were waiting for the others back to the village.

However, it was empty, the cattle were not there, and neither was the cow driver......

Only then did Zhou Qi remember that he had delayed a lot of time in purchasing things, and now it was twilight, and the ox cart that had returned to the village had already returned.

"Little brother, I'll arrange for someone to send you back."

Liu Xiucai saw the situation at a glance, and added in order to make Zhou Qi refuse again: "Most of the mountain bandits in this area come out at night, and I will arrange for the county government officials to send you back, and it will be more convenient for you." ”

As soon as he heard the mountain bandits, Zhou Qi thought that it was really unsafe, his body was very weak, and if he really met it, he could only give his life.

Without thinking about it anymore, he arched his hand and said, "Then thank you." ”

Subsequently, Zhou Qi followed Liu Xiucai to the mansion.

Liu Xiucai went in and explained to the officer, and soon saw the officer driving a carriage over.

For safety, there were three attendants who followed.

Zhou Qi was a little puzzled, as far as he knew, the travel and transfer of the officials required the handprint of the county order, not to mention that the county order was not seen now, just Liu Xiucai's three words and the officials were doing things upside down?

Even if he is the son of the county commander, the official is not a small servant in his house, and no matter how small the official is, he is also a public official registered in the imperial court, and he is just a talent who does not even have an official position.

Zhou Qi shook his head, what do these things have to do with him?

didn't ask too much, said goodbye to Liu Xiucai, and set off.

On the way, Zhou Qi learned from the mouth of the official that Liu Xiucai's original name was Liu Sichen, and he was a Xiucai who had just been admitted the year before last.

Before the scientific expedition, the county magistrate specially invited a gentleman from other places to give a lecture at home.

As for this Liu Xiucai, after studying for less than a year, he went to participate in the imperial examination, first the county examination and then the government examination.

"I'll go!"

"I'm still nine years of compulsory education, which is better than me!"

Zhou Qi said that he didn't rely on the relationship, who would believe it.

The carriage was much faster than the ox cart, and the road was calm, and before it was completely dark, Zhou Qi entered the village.

Some of the villagers, who were still working outside, were shocked when they saw the carriage.

"Do we have a carriage in our village?"

"Look, those people look like they're wearing official clothes......"

"Why did the people from the government come to the village?"

"Do you see if the person in front of the car is a boy from the Zhou family?"

……

"Hey, Zhou family boy!"

One villager shouted.

There was a carriage in the back of the carriage, but Zhou Qi wanted to show the way to the officials, so he sat in front, and when he heard the shouts of the villagers, he looked back.

The person who called him was Zhou Daqian, who lived near his house, and when it came to seniority, he also had to call him uncle, and when Wang Youcai came to the house to make trouble that day, he took the lead in saying the fair words first.

Zhou Qi replied to him: "Uncle Zhou, are you still working?" ”

"It's really Zhou Qi's kid!"

After Uncle Zhou confirmed that he was coming, he hurriedly put down the hoe in his hand, ran over, and said in a loud voice: "Zhou Qi, what are you doing kid!" ”

didn't wait for Zhou Qi to speak, and hurriedly shouted: "You hurry home, the chief is sick today, Wang Youcai's bastard boy is no one to take care of, and now he is blocking at your door!" I'm so scared that your mother and your little daughter-in-law don't dare to come out! ”

Groov!

When Zhou Qi heard this, his heart beat violently, and he hurriedly jumped out of the carriage and took a shortcut to go home.

When I arrived at the door of my house, I saw Wang Youcai bringing three or five young people to block the door of his house.

At the same time, Wang Youcai also turned around and looked over here.

"Zhou Qi is back, block him for me!"

Seeing four or five people moving violently, Zhou Qi did not flinch, but raised his fist and ran over, rushing directly in front of Wang Youcai.

Before he reacted, Wang Youcai covered his eyes in pain.

"Whew...... You ......"

Zhou Qi grabbed Wang Youcai and said angrily: "You dare to come to disgust me, right?" I'm not afraid I'll ruin you! ”

Wang Youcai was a little surprised, Zhou Qi in front of him was completely beyond his cognition, but after taking a punch, he was already angry, and he didn't have time to think about it and hurriedly shouted: "Beat him, beat him, beat him!" ”

The other young people were not afraid of things, they lifted their sleeves and beat Zhou Qi fiercely.

But although Zhou Qi's body is weak, he is idle and bored in modern times, and he has also learned some martial arts.

It's not good to deal with those mountain bandits who want money and don't want their lives, and he is still not afraid of these second-rate people.

I saw that he grabbed a person with his backhand and quickly turned around, and with a move of wrapping his arm and elbow, the person flew out with a tooth.

Zhou Qi lifted the collar of the man in his hand, looked around and shouted to a few young people around: "Come on, come again!" ”

And the others didn't dare to step forward anymore when they saw this.

It's not that they don't know Zhou Qi, they are all from the same village, and they used to play in the mud together when they were young, but when they grew up, some reason drove them to be more willing to get closer to Wang Youcai, the son of the elder.

Everyone was a little surprised by Zhou Qi's change, in the impression that Zhou Qi was just a weak scholar, poor and pretending, why did he become so powerful now?

Not long after, Uncle Zhou also rushed over with the officials.

The officials saw that this fight had already ended at the beginning, but after all, Zhou Qi was the person who Liu Xiucai greeted him, so he asked a few meaningfully.

Zhou Qi didn't want to make a big deal about it, so he just prevaricated it as a personal grudge.

The officials didn't care about this idle matter, warned Wang Youcai and the others a few words, put down Zhou Qi's things and went back.

And Wang Youcai and others were completely dumbfounded at this time.

"When did this kid Zhou Qi hook up with someone from the government?"

Also dumbfounded were the villagers who came to see the excitement.

Hurriedly pulled Uncle Zhou, who came back with the carriage and horse, over, and asked nonsense.

Seeing that those people had completely stopped at this time, Zhou Qi took out two taels of silver from his arms, threw them at Wang Youcai, and said in a cold tone: "Take your money and get out of here!" ”

As soon as these words came out, those chattering villagers and Wang Youcai, who took the silver, instantly stared at the boss and was shocked!

Not to mention two taels of silver, some villagers have never held a complete ingot of silver in their hands, and even Wang Youcai has only seen it in his father's money turn, and he has never touched it.

And Zhou Qi, who has always been poor, took out two taels with him, which was so shocking!

When he reacted, Wang Youcai put away the two ingots of silver first, and said in a hurry: "There is a daughter-in-law in the city who is different, little white face!" ”

Some villagers nodded frequently with a look of understanding in an instant, and they were all discussing that the Zhou family had taken a good fortune and married a good daughter-in-law.

There are also a few ignorant little children giggling and laughing: "Zhou Bai face, Zhou Bai face, marry a daughter-in-law shameless." ”

But there are also a few villagers who don't agree with this statement, after all, they watched the carriage enter the village with their own eyes, so can't the people in the government also look at the Su Yuan's outside, right?

If he really had such a big face, he wouldn't marry his daughter Baba......

"Not really!"

At this time, the door of the mud room opened, and Su Ling, who heard the movement outside, couldn't care about anything anymore and rushed out.
