Zhou Fang and Zhou Zheng brothers came to Zhou Qingli's study.
Zhou Qingli looked tired, was drinking tea, watching the two come over, his eyes were on Zhou Zheng, he examined it for a while, and said, "Isn't sick?"
Zhou Zheng nodded and said, "Always sober."
Zhou Fang frowned tightly and said, "Father, I will keep my second brother at home from now on. I will make trouble every day. I ran home every day. I don't know how much the affairs of the Supervisor of the Imperial College were left behind..."
Zhou Qingli ignored Zhou Fang, looked at Zhou Zheng with a calm face, and said, "Why?"
Zhou Zheng thought for a while and explained in a tactful way: "Gu Bingqian is not tolerated by the three parties of Donglin, Qingliu, and Eunuch, and he is destined to be unable to come back. It's okay to ask him for some clear names."
Tianqi will die next year, Chongzhen will succeed next year, the eunuch will collapse next year, Donglin, Qingliu will rise next year... Who will believe it
Zhou Fang was so angry that he couldn't help but want to teach him a lesson.
Zhou Qingli nodded and said, "Well, now the castrate party is aggressively attacking Gu Bingqian, and Qingliu is also taking advantage of the situation. Gu Bingqian just wants to escape from the capital at this time. There will be no troubles. You don't need to worry. But Gu Jichi is a ignorant of heaven and earth. Dude, you still have to be careful."
Zhou Zheng was surprised at Daddy Zhou's attitude, looked at him seriously for a while, and said, "Yeah."
Zhou Fang looked inexplicably from the side, turned to Zhou Qingli, and said, "Father, just forget about this matter?"
Zhou Zheng is playing Gu Bingqian's grandson. Gu Bingqian has been in officialdom for decades, as a cabinet minister and first assistant. Wouldn't it be easy to deal with their little Zhou family
The Zhou family is about to face a catastrophe, just passed by in a few words
Zhou Qingli turned to Zhou Fang and did not answer. Instead, he said, "Your business is almost done. Go to Haiyang County, Shandong Province to be a magistrate and take office on October 21."
Zhou Fang was startled, "Didn't you say that you went to the household department before?"
Zhou Qingli picked up the tea cup and said lightly: "There is no suitable place."
Although Zhou Fang was puzzled, he thought about it and said, "It's okay."
In Zhou Fang's view, wherever you go, the key is to jump out of the Imperial College, truly enter the officialdom, and start official career.
Zhou Zheng was listening, looking at the expression of Father Zhou, feeling a little surprised. His eldest brother is too pure in nature, so straightforward to hate music, in a complicated place like Beijing, where there will be an accident sooner or later, it is better to go somewhere to avoid and practice.
After Zhou Qingli finished talking about Zhou Fang, she looked at Zhou Zhengdao: "Your business is a little bit more eye-catching. I'll be walking around again. You can wait a few days."
Zhou Zheng hasn't prepared a lot of things yet, and doesn't plan to be an official at this time. Zhou Qingli's arrangement is nothing more than a temporary post, adding some qualifications, and there is no need for people to go to the staff.
Eating empty rates is also a hidden rule at this time.
Therefore, Zhou Zheng said indifferently, "Okay, I'm not in a hurry."
Zhou Qingli looked at Zhou Zheng and seemed to be a little worried, saying, "Zhong Qinyong gave Gu Bingqian 800 acres of fertile land, which has already been invested in his sect. I heard that it might be transferred to Taipu Temple. You will be more careful in the future."
Zhou Zheng's restaurant had guessed that the Zhong family had taken refuge in Gu Bingqian, and he said, "I know."
Zhou Qing glanced at the two brothers again, his face was exhausted, and said, "If you have nothing to do, go."
Zhou Fang wanted to say something but stopped, looking at Zhou Qingli's tired look, he hesitated not to say.
Zhou Zheng walked faster and went straight back to the study, without letting Zhou Fang catch him.
Zhou Zheng went back to the study and took out his drawings, all about his shop. He watched it seriously and kept making fine adjustments.
Zhou Zheng revised it for a while, then went to Wei Huaide's room to check the progress.
After dinner, Zhou Zheng continued to read and read, practice calligraphy, and also looked at things like piano, chess, calligraphy, and calligraphy.
…
Early the next morning, Zhou Zheng took Liu Liuzhe and the seven family members out to his shop.
I didn't notice it a few times before, but this time Zhou Zheng felt tired, and said, "Six ways, is there a carriage at home?"
Liu Liuzhe took the tools and followed Zhou Zheng's side, and said, "No, if you use it, the master will let Fu Bo rent it back from outside."
Zhou Zheng felt the soreness of his legs and said, "When I make some money, remind me to buy one, no, buy three."
Liu Liuzhe looked up at Zhou Zheng and reminded, "Second Young Master, the carriage is not expensive, but it is particularly troublesome to raise, and it costs a lot. It is not as good as a sedan chair."
Zhou Zheng thought about it carefully. Raising a horse is worth more than several family members. He endured the soreness of his legs and said, "Well, I have to make some money."
Liu Liuzhe didn't pay much attention to this, and looked around with vigilance. The same is true for the seven family members, as if they are thief, observing everyone around them.
Zhou Zheng glanced, and asked strangely, "What are you doing?"
Liu Liuzhe glanced not far away, and whispered: "Second Young Master, I'm afraid that the person surnamed Gu and the person surnamed Zhong will lead people to block us."
Zhou Zheng stretched out his hand and took a bag on his shoulder, and educateed: "First of all, you have to distinguish clearly. We are good people and they are bad people. It is only right for good people to beat bad people; it is only right for good people to beat good people; nature is intolerable when bad people beat good people; especially when the bad people are still strong. , We are even more confident and fearless."
Liu Liuzhe blinked, what the truth is, I can't understand it at all.
Zhou Zheng looked at him with a puzzled look, and said, "I'm afraid they won't come. If they come, we will establish an image of a strong and unyielding rebel. That will be the capital that we will develop in the future... Just like those adults in the imperial court. We are proud of being beaten by the court rod and others, and rushing to get beaten. Why? Because it is fame. Once beaten, it will be praised at home and the sky will be clear. It will not be long before this is the capital for their promotion..."
Liu Liuzhe became even more puzzled, and whispered, "However, we offend Gu Shoufu, the eunuch..."
Zhou Zheng was too lazy to explain so much this time, and said, "It's a moment. Let's go, today I will decorate the house first, and there is still work to be done tomorrow."
Liu Liuzhe was completely puzzled by Zhou Zheng's behavior. He just wanted to be safe today and stop making troubles. He carefully followed Zhou Zheng and walked towards the shop.
A group of people rushed to the shop. This time they were not spilled or burned, and they were completely intact.
Zhou Zheng waited to enter the shop, put down his things, Zhou Zheng took a look, took out the drawings, and said, "Come on, let me talk about how to decorate. First, the house on the left was smashed and a road was paved, and then the wall inside. Open it out. The walls are all scraped, redecorate, I choose the color myself. The floor should be covered with green tiles, the outer wall should be reinstalled, the roof beams should be blocked by partitions, lights should be hung, painted, and four pillars should High, the banner is on all sides, you can see it from a distance, I will write the content..."
Liu Liuzhe and the seven family members surrounded Zhou Zheng, listening attentively.
Zhou Zheng has a lot of ideas about the decoration of this shop, and talks a lot about it.
As he was talking, suddenly, the sound of a gong hit, becoming clearer and clearer.
Zhou Zheng and the others turned their heads and looked. Two teams of Tiqi appeared at the corner of the street with a shackled middle-aged man, made a turn, and walked straight towards them.
It was the first time Zhou Zheng saw prisoners parading, but they were at the end of the street. What were they doing here? (End of this chapter)
