Chapter 22 Beauty You Shi
Behind the counter of the inn, a woman wearing a fur was settled. When she heard the door ringing, she looked up at the door. Zhou Shixiong saw this woman as soon as she entered the door. She was shocked when she saw her looking up. This woman is so beautiful. Her snow-white skin should not be polished with foundation, her bright red cherry lips should not be dyed with lipstick, her small nose should not be painted with shadows, her big eyes should not be used with contact lenses, and her long eyelashes should not be fake.
So beautiful! This is a beauty! Zhou Shixiong is also rich and lustful now. As a miracle doctor, he is not afraid of any infectious diseases. He has never missed the brothel Chuguan he met from Guangxi to the capital. He can afford to spend money and be willing to spend it. He has tasted all the top brands of Honggu, but this woman is the most beautiful woman Zhou Shixiong has ever seen. [bsp; I don’t know what standards the nanorobots adjust their genes according to. The height and size of the young men around Zhou Shixiong have evolved to the modern level, but their appearance has not changed much. It seems that the Zhou Ersan brothers are just a little more mature and have basically not changed much. Maybe in the program of nanorobots, appearance adjustment is meaningless, so it is not considered.
In fact, Zhou Shixiong can ask the chip to perform plastic surgery on the women under his opponents, but Zhou Shixiong didn't know at first, and he didn't have the intention to do so when he knew it. In his opinion, beauty and ugliness are born better, unless the defect can be solved by medical means, and it's boring to make your face just to look good.
Zhou Shixiong's eyes directly met the beautiful woman's eyes. The woman glanced at the three of them, lowered her head and started to settle the score, and did not take Zhou Shixiong's aggressive gaze seriously.
Zhou Shixiong couldn't have stood there and watched the beauty all the time. Under the guidance of the waiter, he found a seat to sit down. Zhou Er was responsible for ordering the food. Liu Wang grabbed the waiter and asked, "Waiter, can you tell Zhou Zhuang."
"This guest asked the right person. The youngest one was from Zhouzhuang. As soon as he left the southern gate, he was in the Zhouzhuang area. I wonder if the guest wanted to visit relatives or friends in Zhouzhuang." The waiter responded while making tea for the three of them.
"You are from Zhouzhuang. Do you still remember Zhou Zhiji, a Jinshi in Zhouzhuang?" It would be a very honorable thing to have a Jinshi in a village. Not to mention that Zhou Zhiji died a few years ago, before other Jinshi came out, he, as a Jinshi, would at least make people in the same village talk about for several lifetimes.
"Of course I remember that Mr. Zhou's ancestors were still blood relatives with our family. When the old man passed by, I also helped Ling and filial piety. Are the guest officials and Mr. Zhou?" The waiter's words confirmed Liu Wang's guess, looked at Zhou Shixiong and continued to ask, "Do you know if there are any close relatives in the Zhou family?"
"Master Zhou is the only one. The old man has a brother, but he went earlier than the old man. Now there is only one son taking care of the ancestral homes of the two families. He is a uncle and uncle brother with Master Zhou, so there is nothing else." The waiter was very clear about the matter between the Zhou family and immediately told the current situation of the Zhou family.
"Thank you, I have some change here. Don't worry about it being too small. Take it for tea." Zhou Shixiong smiled and took out a piece of silver and stuffed it into Xiao Er's hand.
The waiter weighed it and estimated that the money was at least two taels, and his smile became more friendly. "I thank the guest and the official reward, but I wonder what the guest and the official should ask Mr. Zhou's relatives?"
"Old Liu, please ask the waiter to go for this matter." Zhou Shixiong acted with Liu Wang in a negotiated tone. Liu Wang looked at the waiter and took out a famous post from his arms.
"I am a classmate of Zhou Jinshi. I passed the imperial examination together. Later, Zhou Jinshi went to Guangxi to ask me to be a guest. This time I came here to send the spiritual bones of Zhou Jinshi and his wife to bury them at the ancestral tomb. Please help me go to Zhouzhuang to find Zhou Jinshi's brothers to come and talk to him."
"Oh, this is a big deal, so I'll do it right away." The waiter said a few words to the woman behind the counter, and the beauty nodded and asked him to do the business. When the waiter left, the beauty came over with a wine pot, "This scholar is so kind and righteous, and he has great merit for sending spiritual bones thousands of miles away."
“No advice.”
"Little woman Youshi, I am the shopkeeper of this inn, but the guest official has not asked for advice." Youshi put down the wine pot and gave Liu Wang a blessing gift, and asked back.
"The young man's surname is Liu. This is Zhou Shixiong, the only son of Zhou Jinshi, the courtesy name is Ziqi. Boss You praised her and did not dare to be the praises." Liu Wang bowed his hand and introduced Zhou Shixiong by the way.
"Oh, it turns out that it was Mr. Zhou's son who returned home, a happy event." You Shi was slightly stunned and immediately saluted Zhou Shixiong with a smile. Zhou Shixiong stood up and gave in and received half a gift. Liu Wang repeatedly introduced these rules. Liu Wang's age and identity, as long as he was not higher than him, he could receive a full gift. Although Zhou Shixiong's fake father was a Jinshi, Zhou Shixiong was white and not old. Except for the slaves he bought, no one could receive a full gift. At least he had to stand up and give in and give in.
"Boss You, I want to ask about something, so it's better for Boss You to sit down." Zhou Shixiong learned from Ming Renzi's emphasis that he should be fake as much as he should be.
"You are welcome, please say anything that Mr. Zhou wants to ask." You Shi sat down openly, and you could tell at a glance that she had seen the world.
"This time, the young student returned to his hometown with Mr. Liu. One was to send his parents back to his roots. The other was to take the county exam this year. I don't know if the county exam in Fucheng had been approved." The imperial examinations in the Ming Dynasty were already very standardized. In addition to the encyclopedia held for special reasons, the county exam, the government exam, and the college exam were all stipulated for two exams in three years, and the time was also set for February, April and June.
But the specific examination on that day depends on the arrangements of the county magistrate and the academic administration. The list will be announced fifteen days before the examination, so that the people preparing for the examination will know the exact time.
Zhou Shixiong came out in January and arrived at Hejian Mansion at the end of February. If the exam was already held, he would have to wait at least another year before he had a chance. Although it was to cooperate with Liu Wang's physical strength to slow down, Zhou Shixiong really didn't want to wait that long.
"Young Master Zhou happened to be the one who started the exam in the middle of the month, and the county magistrate went to Beijing to report his work. The time was pushed to the end of the month, and tomorrow was the time for the exam." You Shi's answer made Liu Wang feel relieved. Because he needed to prove Zhou Shixiong's identity, Zhou Shixiong could not come alone and could only accompany him slowly. If he missed this year's county examination, Liu Wang's guilt would be great.
"It's a coincidence, but the young master still wants to recognize his ancestors. It would be very troublesome if he doesn't have a guaranteed letter from the official position." Liu Wang looked at Zhou Shixiong worriedly. If there was more time, even if there was more one more day, Liu Wang would have the confidence to solve these problems. Now he has to race against time to complete so many things, which is indeed a bit difficult.
"I'm not afraid of this. The little woman's ex-husband's family is the Lizheng of Zhouzhuang. As long as the Zhou family recognizes her nephew, she will be a trivial matter." You took the initiative to take over it, and Zhou Shixiong quickly stood up and bowed. "Thank you for your help."
You Shi returned a greeting and walked to the kitchen to urge the dishes. She asked another hall to go to Zhouzhuang to talk to her ex-husband and father. Zhou Shixiong and others had just eaten a few bites of the dishes and invited Zhou Zhiji's cousin's waiter to take a little old man into the inn.
"Master Xiucai, this is Master Zhou Zhizhu, Uncle Zhuzi, this is Master Liu Xiucai," the waiter took the initiative to be the introducer. Zhou Shixiong stood up and bowed to Zhou Zhizhu's big gift, "My nephew Zhou Shixiong has met his uncle."
"Please get up, why do you need such a big gift?" Zhou Zhizhu heard the waiter say that someone had sent back the ashes of his elder brother's family. Suddenly, someone was shocked by the big gift and quickly helped Zhou Shixiong up.
Liu Wang asked Zhou to take out a set of official uniforms and a booklet from the bag. The official uniforms are Zhou Zhiji's relics, and the booklets are Zhou Zhiji's family tree and booklet. Except for Zhou Shixiong's name, which is fake and old, the others are all real. Zhou Zhizhu has also read books but has not obtained the exam. When he opened the genealogy, he confirmed that it was true. He looked at Zhou Shixiong happily and shouted, "Our Zhou family has a descendant, and our Zhou family has a descendant!"
No wonder Zhou Zhizhu was so excited. The Zhou family has always been a poor family. In his father's generation, there were only two brothers, and in his generation, they were still two brothers. But let alone brothers, they didn't even have a daughter. In order to leave a man and a half woman for the Zhou family, his old wife arranged two concubines for Zhou Zhizhu, but in the end, there was no hair. The old wife passed away in worry and regret, so Zhou Zhizhu also released the two concubines and took care of the ancestral land alone. Now the eldest brother's ashes can be returned to their roots, and the eldest brother still has a son. How can this news not make him happy?
"Brother Zhuzi, why are you so happy?" An old man who was about the same age as Zhou Zhizhu walked in and asked Zhou Zhizhu with a smile.
"Dadfather, you are here." You Shi saluted the old man behind the counter. The old man waved his hand to say hello and continued to walk towards Zhou Shixiong.
"Mongyi, I'll introduce you to you. This is Liu Wang and Liu Xiucai, the same year as the scholar in the basic exam. This is Zhou Shixiong, the eldest brother's son. By the way, do you have the word "六子子?"
"Uncle, my niece's courtesy name is Ziqi. I have met this uncle." Zhou Shixiong's politeness was almost damaged by the waist muscles, but this is the case in this era. Etiquette is necessary, and rudeness is very serious.
"Oh, this is a big deal. Brother Zhuzi, why don't you bring Liu Xiucai and your nephew home and bring in incense to your ancestors to make them happy." The old man said tactfully.
"Yes, yes, I'm too happy. I forgot about this. Come on, let's go home." Zhou Zhizhu pulled Zhou Shixiong and was about to leave. You Shi stopped him. "Uncle Zhou stayed, father-in-law, and Mr. Zhou had another thing to do when he returned to his hometown, that is, he had to take the county exam, but tomorrow is the exam period. If you don't register today, how to take the exam tomorrow? Since Mr. Zhou recognizes his ancestors and returns to his hometown, you should do the registration first."
"Oh, this is a trivial matter. I will give me your booklet and I will deal with the others." This former father-in-law of Youshi is very righteous and looks as if you feel at ease when I do my business.
"Indeed, it's best to leave this matter to Gongyi. Let's go home and wait for good news." Zhou Zhizhu saw that it was fine, and pulled Zhou Shixiong out again.
"Uncle, wait until I get the money for the meal." Zhou Shixiong had just eaten a few bites of food, and his stomach was still roaring, but he couldn't say he would leave after he finished eating. No matter which era, burning incense for his ancestors was the first option.
"No need, it's a great joy for Mr. Zhou to recognize his ancestors and return to his hometown. The little girl is happy and we have a meal in our hotel." Youshi was very generous, which made Zhou Shixiong a little confused and looked at Zhou Zhizhu in embarrassment.
"Xiaowei said it well. This meal is forbidden. You can go back first. I will go to your house for a drink after I finish the registration." You Shi's former father-in-law pushed Zhou Zhizhu out of the inn, and Zhou Er asked Xiaoer to lead the horse over and follow Zhou Shixiong out of the southern city gate.
