Chapter Seventy-Three: Night Run
Zhou Ang didn't know that his apprenticeship had caused a protracted war between the two prime ministers.
Newly apprenticed, he didn't even go to Lujia Town the next day.
As far as he is concerned, the old man Lu Duan is knowledgeable, knowledgeable, and his personality is particularly admirable and respectable, but worshipping the teacher only means that the relationship between them is formalized and clear, and he will ask for advice in the future, which is justified, and it does not mean that he has to take advantage of the situation to stick to the past.
Therefore, after worshipping the teacher, I have another person in this world who can be close to and is trustworthy to some extent, but I still have to study when I should study, I still have to practice when I should practice, and I still have to continue to punch in and eat when I should go to work - I am still a little clerk in the county Zhu Yamen.
At noon the next day, seeing that it was time for dinner, Zhou Ang didn't want Lu Chunsheng to send it, so he walked out of the house and went to the county Zhu Yamen.
Passing by the house where the house had collapsed before, he saw that the foundation had been laid and the wall was being erected, and he couldn't help but stand still, and looked at the roadside very carefully for a while, and felt beautiful in his heart.
That's the result!
Say a word of Wenqing, this is called giving people roses with a lingering fragrance.
Since that day after the heavy rain, the autumn in Lingzhou City has been deepening in the past few days, and the weather is high and cloudy every day, which is also a great benefit to the reconstruction of these people's houses.
Although in fact, the vast majority of the families who received donations from the disaster did not know how much effort the county Zhu Yamen had put into this, let alone know the name Zhou Ang, but this did not affect the feeling of satisfaction that Zhou Ang felt in his heart when he saw them quickly rebuild their houses.
At this time, Zhou Ang was standing on the side of the road looking at the construction site, his heart was beautiful, and he was about to leave, when suddenly a woman's voice said: "Clerk Zhou has done a good deed!"
"Huh?"
Zhou Ang was stunned for a moment, then slowly turned his head, with a smile on his face, and looked at the woman who had stood not far behind him at some point, wearing a hood and a veil on her face.
It may be because he has traveled through this life and knows too few women, of course, it may also be that the voice of the eldest lady of the Lu family often naturally carries a calm and calm attitude of the superior, so he is more impressed by this, in short, as soon as he heard the voice just now, Zhou Ang immediately reacted.
At this moment, he arched his hand slightly, and said with a smile: "This girl is invited, do you know me?"
That Lu Tao wore a veil, so that Zhou Ang couldn't see her face clearly, but listening to her voice, I felt that she should be smiling slightly at the moment. She said: "Clerk Zhou and others do good deeds without leaving their names, although ordinary people don't know it, but if someone pays a little attention, how can they not feel admiration?"
Zhou Ang laughed and waved his hand, "It's over, it's over!"
Under the veil, seeing a hint of pride on Zhou Ang's face, Lu Tao couldn't help but smile - this reaction was obviously what she was happy to see and had already expected.
But at this time, before she could brew the atmosphere and speak again, Zhou Ang arched his hand again and said with a smile: "There is still something to do, go first, the girl will take a look." With that, he turned around and left.
Lu Tao was stunned for a moment, and when he saw him leaving quickly, he couldn't help but be forced to speak: "Clerk Zhou, stop!"
Zhou Ang stopped, turned around, and looked puzzled.
In desperation, Lu Tao had to catch up with him for a few steps, and then he was able to say calmly: "Clerk Zhou doesn't know me, but I know Clerk Zhou." But there are some mundane things to disturb, I don't know if I can take a step to speak?"
Zhou Ang was surprised, looked left and right, and said with a smile: "Then let's say it here? ”
Lu Tao was choked.
But this is not important, more importantly, the feeling that was faintly born just now is becoming clearer and clearer - Zhou Ang seems to be a little strange.
The information collected and inquired about it all showed that this man was graceful, calm, elegant and funny, and was quite a good person to deal with.
But under the first contact, her face hidden under the veil couldn't help frowning slightly.
She felt as if the other party was deliberately avoiding herself.
What's more, she intuitively and faintly perceived: as if the other party already knew what she was coming to!
This is certainly impossible!
So there can only be two reasons:
One is that he may have more or less understood some of his own information, after all, his eldest brother Lu Xun has had some disagreements with them, although it is easy to resolve, but after all, it is still in the eyes, the particularity of their county Zhu Yamen is there, after many dealings, he has mastered some relevant information about himself, so even if he can't see his face, only look at his dress, he has roughly guessed who he is.
The second is ...... The information is incorrect, and he may indeed be this character.
If it's two, it's fine, if it's the first possibility...... Does this mean that he, or even the county Zhu Yamen behind him, is dissatisfied with himself and the Zhanzhou Lu family?
For a while, many thoughts flashed in her mind, but with the cover of the hat and veil, she was still calm and relaxed in Zhou Ang's eyes.
After a while, she ignored Zhou Ang's deliberate crooked beating in and out of his words, and said directly: "The eldest sister of Lu Xun of the Lu clan in Zhanzhou, the eldest sister of the deceased father, is a stranger to Zhou Clerk. ”
Zhou Ang smiled slightly, pretending to suddenly realize, but his demeanor during the performance was quite exaggerated, almost telling the other party that he had already guessed her identity.
But at this time, he still arched his hand and said, "It turned out to be Miss Lu Jia, disrespectful." ”
Under the veil, Lu Tao couldn't help frowning slightly.
She felt more and more that Zhou Ang's rejection of herself was hidden behind her smile.
This made her have some indescribable doubts, and she was faintly a little afraid -- Zhou Ang alone may not become powerful, but what if this is the opinion of the entire county Zhu Yamen? Could it be that the attitude that she has deliberately maintained towards the county Zhu Yamen in recent times has made the county Zhu Yamen, especially Gao Jing, unhappy?
Thinking of this, she had a hunch that her goal this time would be difficult to achieve.
So, after only a little thought, she spoke: "Clerk Zhou doesn't seem to have a good impression of my Lu family?"
This time, Zhou Ang was unpretentiously surprised.
Then, he laughed and spread his hands, "Where do you start?"
Under the veil, Lu Tao frowned slightly again, but then smiled: "Xu is concubine is thinking about it." When his father saw his back, the concubines and others knew that their survival was only in the mist, so they couldn't help but think crampedly, which made Clerk Zhou laugh. ”
Zhou Ang smiled and asked, "Miss Lu has something to do with me?"
Lu Tao shook his head, smiled under the veil, and said, "Now that it's okay, it's okay, I'm bothered a lot, I hope you'll forgive me." Clerk Zhou, please take care of yourself. ”
Zhou Ang smiled, nodded in greeting, and then turned his head away.
Lu Tao stood in place, watching Zhou Ang walk out for a long time, and his body was motionless.
The maid accompanying her couldn't help but ask, "Miss, what's wrong with this person...... So weird?"
Lu Tao pondered for a moment, his tone was cold, and he said, "Go home." ”
............
After leaving the eldest lady of the Lu family, Lu Tao, Zhou Ang soon arrived at the county Zhu Yamen, and sure enough, he took the world very well, and the little prince of rubbing rice was just in time for the meeting again.
After a few words of conversation and laughter with my friends, the slight unhappiness in my heart just now was also left behind.
Joke! Counting on a few shops to buy me?
That's too much to underestimate me, isn't it?
I think I'm actually quite capable, but I haven't officially joined the official cultivator team yet, so I guess I'm a little bit nostalgic? I can only say, "Miss, you want to be bad!" I'm like a fish in water now!
And in fact, even if I Zhou someone really doesn't meet a talent, I may not reject your Lu family's wooing, but if I don't know that your real target is actually Lu Jin's kid, it's okay, since I already know that in this wooing, in fact, I am just an additive, your idea is to dig me up first, and then try to envelop Lu Jin's kid in your hands - it's just angry that I don't have it!
............
The meeting was about to end, and Fang Jun and Fang Boju hurriedly came.
Everyone smiled and asked him, can you have a harvest in the morning? Fang Jun sighed helplessly: No.
Not long ago, he grasped a hint of promotion, and the usually lazy guy immediately became as excited as if he had been beaten with chicken blood, and in recent days, he has been actively running around the city every day, searching everywhere for all possible "merits".
He is now only about a little merit point away from getting the pill to be promoted to the eighth order, so it can be imagined that of course he is in high spirits.
Now the county Zhu Yamen does not include Zhou Ang, there are a total of ten official cultivators, which can be seen on the bright side, Gao Jing, the county Zhu, represents the highest strength, the seventh order.
Under Gao Jing, Du Yi and He Yi were already in the eighth order, and Liu Rui was newly promoted to the eighth order.
Originally, he felt that he was still far away, so he was just that, but now that he suddenly saw where the door was, Fang Jun naturally wanted to become the fourth eighth-order cultivator in the county Zhu Yamen as soon as possible.
This is not only a matter of status promotion, salary increase and the like, the key is that after reaching the eighth order, the strength has been greatly improved, and the confidence of the whole person will be different.
Even, because Fang Jun suddenly saw the possibility of promotion, the other few remaining official cultivators in the county Zhu Yamen also seemed to have suddenly felt some urgency in the past few days.
There are only ten people in total, one is the seventh order, and four are the eighth order, there are still five ninth orders left, and Chen Fu and Lu Jin have just opened their minds, so you are embarrassed to compare with them, right? Then there are only three people left.
Although they are all colleagues, colleagues, and comrades-in-arms, there is no competition between each other, open and secret battles, etc., but who doesn't have a strong heart?
So, Feng Shan has been working silently recently, and he almost doesn't see him pushing pai gow anymore, and when he asks, he says that he is practicing, and Zhao Zhong has rarely drunk for several days, but it makes people a little unaccustomed to him who is no longer drunk and sober, as for Wei Ci...... He was already the weakest, and he didn't know where to rush at this time, and the whole person became a lot more low-key and silent.
After everyone finished eating, they all got up to leave, Zhou Ang naturally followed suit, Fang Jun came late, and he was still eating, but he hurriedly stopped Zhou Ang and said, "Zixiu, wait for me." ”
So Zhou Ang stood down with a smile, only to see him snoring and hurriedly picking up the food, wiping his mouth and standing up, Xiao Yi took the corner of Zhou Ang's clothes, pulled him outside, and patiently waited for everyone else to go away, before whispering: "You have a lot of wild roads, what is the next opportunity, let me go first!"
It's a credit for that!
And this guy has a real temperament, he never beats around the bush when he speaks, and he just asks for it if he wants it.
Zhou Ang laughed, "Okay!
Fang Jun clapped his hands, "Don't talk about a meal, just a drink!"
Zhou Ang laughed.
Frankly speaking, although from the bottom of his heart, Zhou Ang knew very well that people like Lu Tao, the eldest lady of the Lu family, were really powerful, and in the interpersonal field, she was definitely a cold female president, and she was the kind of existence that people looked up to, but he still preferred to make friends with people like Fang Jun.
This guy has no other thoughts, eats, drinks, sleeps and sleeps, pushes pai gow at leisure, goes to prostitute a little prostitute with Zhao Zhong, doesn't want to marry a wife, doesn't buy property, fights bravely, is not afraid of death, spares no effort, although sometimes he can't talk with his brain, and a joke from time to time will embarrass you, and he can't even get off the stage, but he is definitely a good comrade-in-arms and a good friend, you can trust him when it matters - even if he dies, he will not knife you in the back.
Zhou Ang, a person who is used to intrigue in modern society but is tired of it, has almost no resistance to a friend like Fang Jun, as long as he can help, he will do his best.
What's more, the accumulation of meritorious deeds in the official system is just a reuse after killing demons for Zhou Ang.
............
Zhou Ang has always been in a good mood recently, especially when he senses that he has basically stabilized in the eighth-order realm, and he is even ready to go around the "demon realm" again.
When he woke up the next morning, after dinner, he handed over the strips he had planned to buy last night to Lu Chunsheng, and prepared to go shopping with him in the morning.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, this is one of the three festivals of the year that people value the most, of course, sloppy, uncle's family, teacher's family, and even Mr. Zhupi's Chen Jing's family, these relatives are going to give gifts and move around.
However, before Lu Chunsheng's carriage was set, someone suddenly came to knock on the door.
Zhou Ang listened to the sound of banging on the door in a hurry, while being surprised in his heart, thinking, "It's early in the morning, how can there be such a knock on someone's door", but he still had to run over to open the door in person.
The door opened, but it was Jiang Yun Jiang Bodao, who had not been seen for a long time.
As soon as the door opened, he saw that it was Zhou Ang who came to open the door, Jiang Yun immediately said: "Zixiu really hasn't left yet!" As he spoke, he grabbed Zhou Ang's wrist, pulled him to the door, and whispered: "Zixiu, it's a big trouble......!" This...... I really have no choice but to come to you!"
Zhou Ang was surprised, "Brother Bodao, don't worry, say something slowly, go home, although I don't have any good tea, I won't call you Brother Bodao, but I stand at the door and talk, what is this!"
Jiang Yun was so anxious that he stomped his feet, his face sad, "Where do you still have the heart to drink any tea!"
After a pause, he whispered, "Do you remember the last time my wife and I wanted to kiss the young lady of the Du family? It was the cousin of my wife's mother's family......"
How could this week Ang not remember!
Although time has long passed, and a few days ago, he took advantage of the conflict to let Lu Jin beat the thugs of the Nadu family, which can be regarded as a sigh of relief, but at that time, Jiang Yun ran to propose marriage, but was rejected by others, for Zhou Ang, it still hurts his self-esteem, and he may not forget it in two years.
In fact, the matter did not work out, which made Jiang Yun feel quite ashamed, and he didn't look for Zhou Ang much recently.
At this time, Zhou Ang nodded and said, "Remember, what's wrong?"
Jiang Yun stomped her foot again, "Hey! she...... She...... In the middle of the night, she suddenly came to my house, and brought only a little maid, and scared my husband and wife half to death! She is still in my house, and she says that she has to see you!"
"Huh?"
I worked so hard today and wrote more than 4,000 words!
