Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Eldest Brother Is Like a Father

The next afternoon, when Zhou Ang arrived at the yamen, he entered the house and saw a relaxed atmosphere.

Feng Shan, Zhao Zhong, and Fang Jun were shaking the dice to push pai gow, the atmosphere was very cheerful, although Wei Ci said that he was lying there alone, it seemed that he was practicing words in front of the "character book", but when he saw the figure at the door, he raised his head, and he was also full of smiles, "Yo, Zixiu is here!"

The three guys who were pushing pai gow looked up and saw Zhou Ang, and also beckoned him, "Come on, play!"

Zhou Ang smiled and waved his hand to refuse, went over to look at the words written by Zuo Ci, chatted a few words, picked a few small places, penmanship and wrist strength and the like, pointed out a few words, and then wiped his head to find tea, stood at the door and shouted, and when the servant brought the boiling water, he made himself a cup of tea, sat there and took a sip.

Comfortable.

Last night's case, since it got the attention of the yamen, it has not been long, but the nature is particularly bad, so many children's lives have been killed, not only makes people extremely angry, but also the potential opponent's strength level is too high, and it is also a little breathless in everyone's hearts.

So, as long as the matter is not resolved, it is as if there is a big stone pressing on the heart.

Now it's okay, the price is indeed some, not only the dead people on the side of the county Zhu Yamen, but Zhou Ang himself was also injured, but the matter was solved at once, and none of the five people ran away.

So, the big stone in the heart was moved away at once.

My breathing is smooth, and my heart is relaxed.

And after the end of the operation last night, about the time of touching the capital has passed, the county Zhu Yamen is "adding wine to the lamp and reopening the feast", although they have not drunk much, but the wine helps people to rejoice, toast each other a few glasses of wine, bragging, not only the atmosphere is more and more relaxed and warm, because of the gloomy feeling brought about by the death of more than 30 children, it is almost swept away - although it was discovered a little late, but once it was discovered, it was immediately solved, this is the responsibility of the official practitioner system of this country from Taizhu to County Zhu County Zhu.

Zhou Ang was in it, and his contribution was not small, so he not only enjoyed the joy of others, but even had his own greater gains, and his mood was naturally quite good.

What's more, when he went to the mountain gate in the morning to mention this incident and mentioned the results of his "guidance", Uncle Zheng Huan made a very rare special praise - he said: "This is the right way, not bad." ”

Well, as far as Uncle Zheng Huan is concerned, this is already a very high praise.

Moreover, after the routine practice and body refining in the morning, Zhou Ang had more understanding of this harvest: his strength did not get any qualitative leap because of the gathering of spiritual energy, but after the spiritual energy gathered into a group, the speed of absorbing spiritual energy when he practiced was significantly faster.

That change is very obvious.

And Zhou Ang also clearly sensed the stock of aura in his body for the first time.

He didn't know before, he felt that they were, they were, but it was difficult to know exactly what their total amount was, at most there was a rough estimate, otherwise he wouldn't be very curious to ask Uncle Zheng Huan how much aura he had at that time.

But now it was different, Zhou Ang could accurately sense the stock of aura in his body.

And more importantly, he has vaguely grasped the total amount of aura he needs to complete his promotion.

If he were to follow the old analogy of a full glass of water, he felt that he now had about a quarter of a glass in his body.

Compared with the drop of water in a big cup that Uncle Zheng Huan compared to about a month ago, this progress is so significant and so fast.

And Zhou Ang couldn't help but think optimistically: if he did a similar "right thing" in the future, the aura should be further gathered, and the speed of subsequent absorption of aura cultivation might be faster.

If you think about it this way, it seems that the eighth order is not too far away.

............

Everyone was talking and laughing comfortably, when suddenly someone stepped in.

Seeing the comer, Zhou Ang couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

It's actually Chen Turn.

The only son of his own Chen Jing Shibo.

Since he arrived after the Dragon Boat Festival some time ago, his father Chen Jing has been working in the clerical staff room next door, and Zhou Ang has met him many times, but this Chen Duan is said to have studied with Du Yi and is preparing to become a cultivator, and he has not met since then.

At this time, Zhou Ang thought that he was looking for him at first, but after entering the door, Chen Tuo said to everyone: "On the order of the county wishes, I want you to go to the second hall." ”

Those who were pushing pai gow and practicing calligraphy stopped when they heard the words.

Zuo Ci subconsciously asked, "The result is out?"

Chen said when he heard this: "I don't know what the specific thing is, but Gao Xianzhu and Mr. Ziyu have just returned from the county Zhu Yamen, which is true." ”

Everyone smiled when they heard thisβ€”this is most likely the result of last night's events.

So everyone dropped their things one after another and got up to go to the second hall.

Among them, only Zhou Ang keenly noticed Chen Tuo's name for Du Yi - he called him "Mr. Ziyu". This title is actually a bit nondescript.

In normal interactions between peers, it is of course correct to address each other's words, and it is also appropriate for juniors to call each other Mr. when facing their elders, or to people they have special respect for. But when addressing Mr., if you talk about it externally, you need to add a little prefix to distinguish it, and you often add the other party's "number", for example, Chen Jing's number is "Zhupi", and if you respect him, you can call "Mr. Zhupi".

It's rare to hear of the word "sir" in front of the word "sir" as a salutation.

But soon, Zhou Ang reacted.

So, he deliberately fell at the end, and with a smile, asked: "Brother Turn, it seems that you have succeeded in 'opening your mind'?"

This should be something that is about to come out.

In the system of official practitioners of the imperial court, it is forbidden to have a master-apprentice relationship, because everyone belongs to the imperial court and is a public official, so how can they discuss the master-apprentice relationship internally and form a small group?

Between each other, no matter the order of joining, no matter the level of strength, it is the relationship between colleagues, and between each other, only the relationship between superiors and subordinates, only about official positions. Personal friendship is permissible, but later semi-personal attachment relationships such as master-apprentice relationships are not.

Yes, in this era, the princes of heaven and earth are all personal dependents.

The relationship between teacher and student, although ranked last among the five relationships, is still close to juxtaposition. Respect for teachers is second only to respect for heaven and earth, respect for the monarch, and respect for one's parents.

But within the yamen, there will indeed be a requirement that later joiners need someone to lead the way, especially like Chen Tuo, who voluntarily chose to become a member of the official practitioner system because he was accidentally involved in an incident, and he wanted to complete the "enlightenment" and become a cultivator, and his body and age were also in the right state, and the above also agreed, so it was even more necessary for someone to take him with him from the beginning.

This kind of relationship is actually infinitely close to the master and the apprentice.

However, no master and apprentice were allowed, so Chen Fu obviously found a solution - he called his leader Du Yi "Mr. Ziyu".

This is probably to indicate the unique relationship between the two parties, which is also a teacher and a friend.

Zhou Ang thinks it's good.

At this time, hearing him ask, Chen Fu first bowed his hand seriously, which was regarded as a personal courtesy, and then said with some shyness: "Return to the eldest brother." After Mr. Ziyu's guidance, I spent a long time meditating, and finally took the Enlightenment Pill three days ago, and now I should be considered a cultivator. ”

Zhou Ang smiled, nodded, and said, "Very good! ”

Chen Fu still smiled a little shyly, looked a little respectful, and said, "This is my honor." The eldest brother's strength is extraordinary, and I hope to bring more deeds to guide me in the future. ”

Zhou Ang smiled again and deliberately patted him on the shoulder affectionately.

In terms of the relationship between each other, this is a very natural thing, and a "big brother" in this era is not something that can be shouted casually, if it is not a close flesh and blood brother, others are willing to call you "big brother", which is equivalent to some kind of refuge and attachment.

is the same as the prince of heaven and earth, the phrase "the eldest brother is like a father" is not a joke.

It's not about the relationship between right and wrong, but in this era, this is the concept of kinship that people generally agree on and adhere to - the more uncertain the fortune and misfortune, the more life and death look at the sky, the more people like to hold together.

Therefore, in troubled times, he surrendered to the Lord and recklessly bowed to him.

So Zhou Ang said: "Just practice hard and work diligently." Do more good deeds, do more right deeds, and don't think about anything else. ”

Chen Chuan bowed respectfully.

Then Zhou Ang overtook him, hurried to catch up with everyone, and went to the second hall together.

And Chen Tuo quickly caught up, but only respectfully followed Zhou Ang a step.

When they arrived at the second hall, everyone greeted Gao Jing and Du Yi one after another, and it was a little messy for a while.

And then, when everyone found a place to sit down on the Hu chair, Gao Jing spoke first: "Before I officially talk about things, let me introduce you to someone - Chen Fu! He has studied with Ziyu for a while, and now he has officially completed the 'enlightenment' and become a cultivator. From now on, he still needs to study with Ziyu for a while, but he is already a colleague of all of us. ”

After he finished speaking, Chen Chuan took the initiative to bow to everyone and made a gesture.

This is equivalent to the strength of the yamen has been strengthened again, and everyone is of course happy to see it happen. And unlike when Zhou Ang was cold and didn't rush in alone, this Chen Tuo learned from Du Yi, that is, he had a heel, and he was not an outsider from the bottom, and everyone's initial attitude was of course much kinder.

So, everyone nodded in return.

And when Chen flipped to the side, Gao Jing said, "Let's get down to business." The results of last night's case have come out. ”

Ask for a monthly pass! Ask for a monthly pass!
