"Well, I don't know if Brother Yongcheng knows more. Oh, I don't know. It's just a guess. Just a guess."
At this moment, Zhou Qiong had already confirmed that there was indeed an expert in the Zhang family's farmstead. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the two farmsteads to be in such a state. However, that expert did not seem to be willing to meet with them. He only sent a servant over to inform them.
In order to obtain more information, he could only continue to speak to Father Zhang, hoping to find out what the imperial court was doing through him. If it wasn't for the fact that he had come here with this intention and had seen many unbelievable things, he definitely wouldn't have believed it so easily.
Just as he asked, the master of the Zhang family happened to send someone to tell the master of the Zhang family what he wanted to know. This was too much of a coincidence. Zhou Qiong would rather believe that it was arranged deliberately than think that it was a coincidence.
Others might not understand the meaning of this, but he understood. Don't have anything to do with a woman. It was not a good sign. What was it? It was obviously a Yao character. She mentioned a woman and then a princess. This meant that this person's status was not low. Who else was a woman? Besides Wu Meiniang, there was only Princess Taiping. Both of them were important figures.
Then the person they were talking about must be an important figure. At this time, if not the Emperor, who else was important? Prime Minister You. What was his surname? His surname was Yao. A woman. It was not a good sign. Together, it was the Prime Minister. Could it be that they were telling him that the Prime Minister might not make it and that he should stay away?
Zhou Qiong was able to figure this out in a short amount of time. He wanted to know more about this, so he continued to ask.
Father Zhang didn't even understand what Erniu said just now. He just said the original words. How could he say anything else?
For a moment, he didn't know how to answer. Zhou Qiong naturally knew that Father Zhang didn't say anything at all. His purpose was to get someone to go to the place where the two masters were and talk to them. However, before he could continue to think of a way to get Father Zhang to ask, Erniu, who had just come over, came over again. He also whispered a few words into Father Zhang's ear.
After Erniu left, Father Zhang calmed down a little and said to Zhou Qiong, "Brother Miao Ran, there's no need to rush to know some things. As the saying goes, 'Even if Mt. Tai collapses in front of you, your expression won't change.'"
"Brother Yongcheng is right, that should be the case." How could Zhou Qiong have the leisure to do that at this moment? Whether or not Mount Tai was Mount Tai did not matter to him. What he wanted to know now was who his future backer would be. No matter how tall or majestic Mount Tai was, it could not compare to a good backer.
"That's right. It's great that Brother Miaoran can think this way. As the saying goes, one is hot and one is warm in Lingnan. If one were to ask who was sitting in the East Ridge, there would be a cover and a wood king by the side. As long as Brother Miaoran remembers this, it's fine. "Father Zhang repeated what Erniu had just said without changing a single word.
"Ah? What's the saying? " Zhou Xiong didn't understand. He sat there and muttered a few words. Then, he stopped talking and frowned. Beside him, Zhou Xihu didn't dare to disturb him. He smiled at Father Zhang and waited there.
Zhou Qiong felt like his head was going to explode. He really couldn't understand the meaning of those four sentences. If it was someone else who said those words, he wouldn't care. However, it was the servant who said those words. Needless to say, that servant was related to the expert. The expert knew what he was thinking.
Just now, he had already reminded her that she could not rely on a certain person. Now, he said these words again. That was exactly what she wanted to know, which was who she could rely on. In Lingnan, when many people heard this, they would think of the line between the Qinling Mountains and the Huai River. In winter, the north would freeze, while the other side would be as warm as spring.
But if he really thought about it this way, it seemed a little wrong. Then it should be one cold and one warm in Lingnan, not one hot and one warm, warm and hot. It was definitely impossible for the Qinling Mountains and the Huai River, so what kind of mountains were there? Thinking about it again, there was no need to rush. It was so far away. Could it be that the mountain range was further away? What kind of mountain range was the mountain range further away?
Far, mountain range, Lingnan, wasn't it far away? It would take at least half a year to get there from here. Could it be that someone would come from there? Otherwise, why would it be closer? Who, who was there? Yes, who could it be? If you ask who was sitting in the Dongling Mountains, Dongling, Lingnan Road, East, East.
Guangzhou, who was there in Guangzhou? There was a cover, a wood, and a king in Guangzhou. There was a wood, and a king, the Governor of Guangzhou, Song Jing? Could it be him? Yes, a cover, wasn't it just the stroke above? Adding a king, could it be that he would rise in the future?
Zhou Qiong tried hard to think and finally thought of a person, but he couldn't be sure. It was too hard to believe. A person so far away, could it be that he would enter the imperial court in the future? Thinking of this, he finally raised his head again and opened his mouth to speak to Father Zhang. Before he could speak, Father Zhang opened his mouth and said,
"Everything has its own way is like a dream, an illusion, a bubble, and a shadow. It's like dew and lightning. You should see it as it is. Brother Miaoran, since your name is Miaoran, I believe you must know this. "
When Father Zhang said it, he felt that it was not reliable. It was a mess and he didn't explain it clearly. How could people guess it? But he had to say it.
When Zhou Qiong heard this, he had a different feeling. It seemed that the two masters had even calculated his reaction. They obviously didn't want to say too much to him, so they used a Buddhist saying to answer him. Yes, they had already told him a lot, so he couldn't continue to ask. Could it be that he had to ask them to tell him the details in front of them?
If that was the case, then the masters were not hidden masters, but aides. It was impossible for ordinary people to get these words in their lifetime. He couldn't be too greedy.
Thinking of this, Zhou Qiong finally smiled and said to Father Zhang, "Brother Yongcheng, you're right. I understand these words and won't ask anything else. Sigh! County Magistrate Cheng is a blessed man. If possible, I would rather change places with him. But no matter how blessed County Magistrate Cheng is, he can't compare to Brother Yongcheng. "
After saying this, Zhou Qiong cupped his hands at Father Zhang with an envious expression.
Father Zhang was completely dumbfounded. He didn't understand how Zhou Qiong could think of something that he didn't expect after he learned a few words from Erniu. He even envied him. Then why was County Magistrate Cheng also blessed?
Erniu's words were said by his wife, but Father Zhang knew that it must be said by his son and future daughter-in-law. The poem was written in a slightly different style, but the rhyme was not bad. Could it be that Zhou Qiong envied him for having a good son? This was not bad.
His son and daughter-in-law were not ordinary. They were immortals. Not to mention other things, they had the ability to make money. When they were free, they would come up with a way to make money. They even made a lot of snacks for their family. Everything tasted good.
The most important thing was that they were good at business and farming. The rice seedlings in Zhuangzi in the Ge Family were all blown away by the wind. But in their own family, it was unknown how the two little guys played with it. They actually stood there motionless. If they took the seeds and played with them for a few days, the seedlings would be different.
In addition to these, there was also the good thing about learning. After explaining it once and asking the two children a few questions, even if they learned it, not only would they be able to answer it in the examination, they would also be able to comprehend it by analogy. However, these things were only known by the people in the inner courtyard. Others didn't know, so how did Zhou Qiong know?
"Brother Yongcheng, what are you thinking about? Are you still not satisfied? With those two looking after you, Yongcheng can rest assured in the next imperial examination. When the time comes, I will help you. It will be the icing on the cake. "
Before Father Zhang could figure it out, Zhou Qiong called out to him. Only then did Father Zhang come back to his senses. He smiled and said, "Thank you, Brother Miaoran, for your kind words. If I really become an official, I will have to thank you properly."
"You don't have to thank me. Just thank the two masters behind you. Brother Yongcheng may not know, but County Magistrate Cheng is coming to acknowledge you as his teacher. With those two masters around, what else do you have to worry about?" Zhou Qiong didn't know what Father Zhang was thinking, so he continued to speak.
Mr. Zhang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. What kind of expert was this? Wasn't it his son and daughter-in-law? With just a few words, a sixth rank official actually became like this. He didn't know what the two children had done to make the county magistrate want to be apprenticed to a master. He wondered if this Si Cang Army Adjunct Zhou would still say this after he knew what this expert looked like.
Father Zhang naturally wouldn't sell his son out. He pretended not to know and said, "What masters? Brother Miaoran, you must be joking. They are all ordinary people. "
"Yes, yes, ordinary people, they are all ordinary people. I was wrong. There are no masters. Ordinary people are good. When the restaurant is built, I will come again. I hope to see ordinary people. I will be satisfied with just one meeting."
Zhou Qiong misunderstood and thought that Father Zhang was deliberately hiding something and didn't want to say it out loud. He was afraid of offending the masters, so he also echoed.
After saying these words, he began to talk about other things with Father Zhang. He said whatever he could think of. It didn't matter whether it was right or wrong in the end. As long as he said it, it was fine. After flattering each other, the day passed. Of course, there was good wine and good food for lunch and dinner.
Early the next morning, Zhou Qiong couldn't wait to leave. He wanted to go back and figure out what happened in the mountain village. The two families sent each other to the small bridge. After greeting each other, Zhou Qiong went back on his way. The people here also went back home.
Everyone was busy with their own things. Only Father Zhang wanted to read a book. When he sat down in the study, he couldn't continue reading. He held the book in his hand. The more he read, the more confused he became. In the end, he reluctantly put it down and opened the window. Seeing the warm red sun outside, he thought of something.
"Someone, call Xiao Bao and Cuckoo. Get some snacks and send them to the study." Father Zhang couldn't control himself. He had to ask someone to call the two children and get some food. When the time came, he would be able to coax the two little guys.
