Chapter 4 Zhou Sheng

Qingshui County is no different from the county town I saw in the past, and it is naturally no different from the ones I remember. Although I have been here many times in the past, this time it is naturally very different.

Compared with other pedestrians who were interrogated by the city guards, Li Zhichang naturally did not include this.

Qingshui County is a place with a dense crowd of people in a radius of hundreds of miles. It is full of shops in the streets and alleys. In addition, it is the harvest season again. Every household invites people to harvest, and they cannot help but buy something from the county town to entertain their relatives and friends who have contributed their efforts.

Li Zhichang took a few steps to the Zhou Mansion, and his disciple recognized him. Although he did not dare to show off his poor scholar who was often supported by the Zhou Mansion, he was scolded by Zhou Hongwen for his disciples who had done this before and was beaten up.

Zhou Hongwen's family is a big business. Tomorrow, he made an appointment with Li Zhichang to go climbing the mountain, so he took advantage of the fact that his newly married wife Wang's cousin came to visit his cousin and set up a family dinner in the bedroom.

His wife died of dysfunction and it was not until two months ago that he married the current Wang family. Wang family was young and beautiful, so Zhou Hongwen naturally loved him in every way.

These two months are the mixing of oil in Mili. If the Double Ninth Festival had not come, the county classmate who had been in the school club invited him to attend the poetry meeting, he might have forgotten Li Zhichang, a friend.

When I thought of not contacting Li Zhichang for two months, I felt ashamed, so I sent a servant to send an invitation yesterday.

His family is well-off, but he is not very talented in academic research. At that time, he made the slowest progress in the school society. Even the master of the school society called him, "The rotten wood cannot be carved, and the wall of dung cannot be dirty."

He is getting slower and he is not very respectful to him, so he is more contemptuous.

Only Li Zhichang never showed any contempt for him. Of course, he also knew that Li Zhichang always looked ordinary to others and never showed that he was close to anyone.

However, Zhou Hongwen was young and Li Zhichang was different from other school children, and immediately showed up.

He took the initiative to find Li Zhichang to get close to him, and only then did he find that this classmate who was not visible and uncovered. His knowledge was even deeper than that of Master. He was dating Li Zhichang. He also discovered a magical place, that is, Li Zhichang always wrote articles in one go, and did not modify them after writing them. He could not be called every word, but his writing style was rich and there was no place for anyone to criticize him.

Moreover, if he has any academic doubts, he will ask Li Zhichang for questions and will never make any mistakes. Moreover, although Li Zhichang is as cold as others, he has no sign of impatientness.

He gave Li Zhichang money and food, but Li Zhichang didn't refuse, but Li Zhichang never asked him for any benefits.

Zhou Hongwen therefore believed that Li Zhichang was a gentleman of ancient times. Although he deliberately got close to him, Li Zhichang still had little different attitude towards him than others. It must be because the friendship between gentlemen was as light as water.

His knowledge was so good at being a scholar because of Li Zhichang's help. If he wanted to pass the imperial examination, he could only rely on luck. Besides, his family was well-off and he was at ease when he was a little rich, so he didn't pursue much and was not enthusiastic about the provincial examination.

Although Li Zhichang was not a student, in Zhou Hongwen's opinion, he was much better than the vast number of scholars. Even if he did not continue the imperial examination in the future, he would gradually become a great scholar and become a great scholar of his generation. He, Li Zhichang's close friend, would also write down his heavy pen in the local county annals.

There have been many talented and learned people who have been frustrated in the eight-legged essay field. Xu Qingchang of this dynasty is recognized as the number one talent in the world and is still just a scholar.

But Xu Qingchang will definitely be able to pass on all ages in the future, but he is better than many mediocre officials.

People in the world will seek fame if they don’t seek profit. Although Zhou Hongwen has thoughts about wealth and honor, he is not obsessed with it. In his opinion, wealth and honor will still last for a hundred years. It would be better if he could live forever. If he could not, it would be a good thing to pass on forever.

In this poetry meeting, I also wanted Li Zhichang to reveal his meaning and make Li Zhichang famous.

He thought Li Zhichang was indeed too low-key. If it weren't for someone like him who had close contact with Li Zhichang, who would have known that Li Zhichang was a great scholar?

Zhou Hongwen received a report from his servant, and he couldn't help but feel happy when he heard Li Zhichang coming.

During the meal, Wang heard it, but said a little unhappy: "Is this the one who eats free food all year round?"

Zhou Hongwen said with an angry look: "Brother Wangsheng is not an ordinary person. It is a blessing I have cultivated in my previous life. You are not allowed to show his face later."

She is young and beautiful, and she is a newlywed woman. Since Zhou Hongwen responded to her every request. She used to dislike the child for noisy, Zhou Hongwen also asked the child to sleep with the nurse without her taking care of her. However, now Zhou Hongwen is angry with him for this Li Wangsheng, which immediately made her feel less favorable to Li Zhichang.

The servant reported to Zhou Hongwen to invite him into the inner room for dinner. Li Zhichang smiled lightly and said, "This is not good. You are just here to visit him because of tomorrow's poetry meeting. Since Brother Zhou is inconvenient, then forget it."

The servant came in and reported Li Zhichang's words to Zhou Hongwen.

Wang thought to himself: "This person is still tactful."

Zhou Hongwen heard this, pondered for a few moments, and said, "Let's move the mat outside to eat."

Wang said unhappy: "If you want to go, I won't go."

Wang's cousin knew that his cousin was a student of the county and had a rich family background. He was considered a person in the county, but he was so respectful to the people who came here, and he was immediately very interested.

Although his cousin was unhappy, he did not hate the house and wanted to meet Li Zhichang immediately.

Zhou Hongwen was still a little majestic. Even though Wang was very unhappy and was still angry, he made up his mind and did not bow his head. After all, her cousin was still watching. Although he spoiled her, he didn't want people to be afraid of her reputation.

The servant moved the table to the outer hall, and Li Zhichang insisted on leaving.

Zhou Hongwen didn't see Li Zhichang for two months, and he felt that the other party was so energetic that he had just one year after his deceased wife died. Zhou Hongwen didn't feel any glorious, and he also thought that Li Zhichang was like a gentleman of ancient times, and was afraid that Li Zhichang would look down on him, so he did not invite Li Zhichang that day.

At this time, Li Zhichang's appearance did not change much than before, but in the past, Li Zhichang was quite deserted and very sturdy, which made ordinary people stay away from him.

Today, Li Zhichang has a elegant moral character, with clear eyes and outstanding looks, but it does not cause estrangement.

Zhou Hongwen sighed: "I haven't seen each other for two months, but my brother Wangsheng is even more handsome and handsome, making me feel ashamed of myself."

Li Zhichang casually said a few words to Zhou Hongwen, and then a maid stumbling in and said, "Master is not good, something happened to the young master."

Zhou Hongwen was not unwilling to care about the only blood and said anxiously: "What's the matter, make it clear."

The maid said, "The young master fell to the ground."

Zhou Hongwen was shocked and said to Li Zhichang: "Brother Wangsheng, I'll go see the dog first."

Li Zhichang said slowly without any hesitation: "Brother Zhou has not sent anyone to invite a doctor. I also understand Qihuang a little, so I followed Brother Zhou to see my nephew."
