Chapter 55: Ridiculous
My uncle and brother all agreed, and things went smoothly at once.
Zhou Ang stepped back home in the night, and when he told the matter, it could be seen that Zhou Caishi was still a little worried and suspicious, but in the end, she nodded and agreed.
When the boy grew up eighteen years old, and he grew up studying, to a certain extent, she still preferred to trust her son's judgment - besides, you can't always study, can you? As long as you do things, you must deal with people, and you can't always keep him at home and study, right?
He himself obviously has a plan to go out to do things to support his family.
In this case, if you still want to stop him, I am afraid that it will hurt his heart.
Since Zhou Caishi nodded, on the morning of the second day, Zhou Ang told Uncle Zheng Huan about his intention to enter the official mansion, and saw that he had no objection, so he came back from outside the city at noon, and he went to the county Zhu Yamen in Chengde Fang, and after asking someone to report, he went in to see Gao Jing and said that he could join the company at any time.
Catching up with the day after tomorrow, it was the day of rest, and the two agreed that the day after tomorrow, Zhou Ang would officially come to work.
Out of the county Zhu Yamen, Zhou Ang went to buy some preserved fruits and pastries and went to Hongtaifang.
Within a few days, this was the second time that Zhou Ang had come to visit the patient.
Mr. Chen Jing is still bedridden, but his complexion is much better.
Since hearing the movement in the courtyard, he has a smile on his face, and when Zhou Ang enters, he struggles to get up, Zhou Ang walks a few steps quickly, although he did not succeed in getting up, but he grabbed Zhou Ang's hand and said sincerely: "Virtuous nephew, thanks to you this time!"
Then without waiting for Zhou Ang to speak, he beckoned, motioned for his son to come closer, then pointed at him and said to Zhou Ang: "This is my only son, and his name is reversed." Although he has been studying, he has not yet been crowned, and there is no expression. ”
He said to Chen Fu again: "This is your brother of the Zhou family, this time the lives of you and my father and son were saved by him! You should serve him as a brother in the future, and you should not be despised lightly!"
When Chen heard this, he made a serious gift to Zhou Ang, and said, "I've seen the eldest brother!"
Zhou Ang subconsciously wanted to stop him, his psychology was not used to others holding him high, but at this time, sensing the sincerity of the Chen family's father and son's mentality, he hesitated, but only sideways to avoid him, and did not stop him.
This sideways avoidance, of course, is not polite to strangers, but at this time, it is basically the meaning of reluctantly accepting a half-courtesy - I received it, but this courtesy is too big for me to accept.
After he got up, they chatted with each other, especially Zhou Ang took the initiative to say that he already had a table word, and then Chen Tuo went to boil water to make tea, while Zhou Ang stayed in the house and chatted with Chen Jing.
The main thing is that Zhou Ang informed his uncle that he was about to enter the county Zhu Yamen.
Of course, it is inevitable to ask about the final result of the last incident.
Chen Jing entered the county Zhu Yamen in Chengde Fang, as an ordinary scribe, responsible for copying and writing and sorting out files, and Chen Tuo could have chosen to receive professional training, after all, he was young and very malleable, but considering that he had an old father at home, he finally chose to stay in Lingzhou and follow the people in the county government to enter the Tao.
Speaking of this, Chen Jing looked like he wanted to say something, as if he had something to ask.
Zhou Ang could vaguely guess what he wanted to ask, but he didn't ask, and Zhou Ang didn't know what to do for the time being—in fact, even he himself was still confused about many things.
He joined a sect called "Shanmen", or an organization, and worshipped Mr. Xu Fu as his teacher, which is said to be a very clear thing.
But no one may believe it when he says it, after he was admitted to the master's door, the master ran away, and now it has been half a month and twenty days younger, and he, who is an apprentice, has never seen the master again.
Of all the things that the master should do, he probably only did one thing, that is, he took the word "Zixiu" for himself, and the rest of the things were done by Uncle Zheng Huan.
And even if someone does it for him, Uncle Zheng Huan teaches things, he does know everything, but in fact, Zhou Ang is still in a state of ignorance about the "practice" he is learning, the "aura", the "mountain gate", and even this huge and mysterious "mysterious world".
What is the history of the "Mountain Gate" sect, and what is its position in the rivers and lakes, or in the mysterious world?
Completely unknowing.
Even if he could mention the existence of the mountain gate to others, Zhou Ang was not sure.
And speaking of which, the reason why Zhou Ang moved his mind after perceiving Gao Jing's intention to win over him, and later it was regarded as a matter of promoting his entry into the yamen at the family level, in fact, to a certain extent, it was also the meaning of him being prepared for danger in times of peace and wanting to find another root for himself - of course the mountain gate is good, and both Uncle Shi and Ao Chun are good, but the mountain gate is too secretive, and the clouds and fog are everywhere, so that people can't see clearly and feel unsteady.
Therefore, Zhou Ang wants to join another organization, a normal organization, to see if he can open up another horizon, at least one more channel to understand the mysterious world that Uncle Shi is ignorant.
Therefore, at this time, Chen Jingshibo didn't ask, and Zhou Ang didn't mention it.
When Chen turned back, Zhou Ang asked about his body again, and learned that after being sent to the county Zhu Yamen that day, he was injured by a professional doctor, and he was still a little uncomfortable at the moment, but the doctor had already said that day, fortunately, the place where he was kicked was in the back, although there was some qi and blood stasis, but it was dissolved by medicine, so it was okay.
Thinking that the county Zhu Yamen will fight with mountain spirits and fox monsters and other life and death at every turn, injuries should be commonplace, then their doctors should be experts in dealing with this kind of injuries, since people say that there is no big problem, naturally there should be no problem.
So Zhou Ang only gave a few words of advice, and then said no more.
Drinking tea and saying a few more words, Zhou Ang got up and said goodbye.
Although Chen Jing had the intention of retaining, he did not force him to stay, but just sent Chen to go out.
Presumably he also thinks that in the future, everyone will be considered colleagues, they will be in the same yamen, and they will be close to each other, and there will be opportunities to speak.
Zhou Ang went out of Hongtai Fang, didn't hurry home, and went to Sogo Fang for a spin first.
In Datang, the blacksmith shop is an industry controlled by the government, it is said that the profit is very large, but there are also a lot of rules and regulations, iron is the monopoly of the government, every pound of iron must be reported, what is made, what is sold must be audited at any time - because iron is one of the most important strategic materials in this era.
There are three blacksmith shops in Sogo Place, but most of them sell farm tools, kitchen knives, scissors, etc. One of the largest is a horseshoe, and it also sells bronze mirrors. There are also swords and daggers, but the number of types is very small, and they all look quite light and thin, more like the swords that readers like to wear in memory, Zhou Ang is not sure if such a thin sword spine will be fancy and useless. Most knives are firewood knives, machetes, etc., but they should actually be classified as hunting tools.
The shopkeeper's enthusiastic Zhang Luo business recommended several beautiful swords to Zhou Ang, Zhou Ang just opened them to see, and then put them back, but a few daggers, he repeatedly touched and looked, but in the end he still didn't make up his mind whether to buy or not - it has nothing to do with money and price, the key is that he doesn't understand this thing as a layman, material, etc., for fear that it will cost a lot of money to buy it is not practical.
So all three of them went around, and in the end he didn't buy anything, but only found a grain store and bought a bucket of rice to go home.
All the way back, he also thought that there must be a lot of good players in the county Zhu Yamen who know weapons, and when he turned back and waited for his entry, he asked them to recommend and screen it, which was the best.
Coincidentally, when I went back, I found that Du Yi and Du Ziyu from the yamen were waiting at the gate of the fang.
But it turned out that he was ordered to give Zhou Ang, a newcomer, a set of official clothes.
A soft-footed servant wrapped in jet-black silk, a teal robe, and a pair of thin-soled boots – this is said to be the standard for civil servants in the yamen, and two sets a year are distributed.
Of course, it's just ordinary staff clothing, and it's not the same thing as an official uniform.
Wearing this body will only make people feel neat and generous, but it is not the exclusive clothing of people in the government, and there are people who dress like this on the street.
Zhou Ang thanked him, took the things, and politely invited Du Yi to sit at home, but was politely refused, Du Yi just told him to go back and try it on, if it doesn't fit, you can go to a certain shop at any time to repair it.
It seems that there was an order for government uniforms.
Zhou Ang thanked him again, and when he saw that Du Yi was leaving, he suddenly stopped him again, talking about the fact that he had just gone to visit the blacksmith shop, but Du Yi suddenly laughed when he heard this.
Zhou Ang was puzzled, but listened to him: "Some of the things made by a few blacksmiths in the local area are just sold to a few rich sons and brothers for display, where are we together? Our arsenal is all produced by the iron officials, and what is supplied to us is of the highest quality, no matter which one you can't buy at a high price on the market!"
Zhou Ang suddenly realized when he heard this.
Thinking about it, in the era of cold weapons, the production technology of swords must be in the hands of the iron officials of the government! And once you join the organization in the government that is specifically responsible for slaying demons and demons, you can receive all kinds of excellent weapons, and even the benefits are not counted, this is a necessary equipment.
I actually stupidly ran to the street to buy it, and it really made people laugh when I said it!
