It was just clicking, and it was boring to say too much. Zhou Shixiong ignored Wang Chengen and bowed to the carriage. Wang Chengen watched the two carriages enter the East City before returning to the Ganqing Palace and reported to Zhu Youjian.

"Mr. Zhou did not ask me to thank the emperor, but he should be very satisfied with his expression. In addition, Master Zhou taught me a few words before leaving." When Wang Chengen said this, he deliberately stopped for a moment, and Zhu Youjian's interest was immediately attracted.

"Oh! I dare to teach my companion a lesson. Zhou Shixiong is too brave!" Zhu Youjian said it very seriously, but his expression was very interested. It has nothing to do with being angry, I just want to gossip.

"I heard Master Zhou's words and greet Master Zhou, because Master Zhou said that as long as I take good care of the emperor, there is still something that I can't get. This time the emperor was almost harmed by a traitor. It was my omission of luck this time. Is it okay to be lucky this time, but will I rely on luck next time?" After saying that, Wang Chengen knelt on the ground, "I was blinded by lard for a while, forgot that the emperor was the emperor rather than the eunuch in charge. Master Zhou's words awakened me and asked the emperor to punish me for being in prison."

"The big companion is indeed wrong. I will punish you to guard the imperial study. Don't think about those eunuchs or something." Zhu Youjian convicted Wang Chengen with a smile, and he seemed in a good mood.

Wei Zhongxian asked someone to use ** medicine to deal with Zhu Youjian, but unfortunately the result was not good. Zhu Youjian didn't look fascinated at all. And there was a reward for the eyeliner. Zhu Youjian stopped taking that kind of pill, but did not punish anyone for this matter. Did he see through it or didn't see through it? Wei Zhongxian and Keshi, who were not sure about the situation, were sitting in a sleepy city in the house in the imperial city, and could not think of a good way to rise again.

Back at Bafang Inn, Li Fusheng and Zhou Er, who were about to become madman after the news, saw Zhou Shixiong coming in, and they fainted happily. Zhou Shixiong kicked them alone, saved them violently, and then checked the bill and left.

On the carriage, Zhou Shixiong boasted with a proud look on his face, and Li Fusheng, who had entered the Forbidden City several times, looked yearning. Zhou, who had only seen the city wall, was envious of jealousy and hatred.

The four show girls were originally in one car, but Zhou Shixiong rented a big car for them to sit together. Anyway, it was given to him by the emperor, so of course he had to follow his arrangements. Zhou Shixiong didn't know that in order to satisfy him, Wang Chengen missed the show girls overnight and picked out four beauties, but none of them were Chinese. The four show girls were Li Zhenhe, the princess Li Jie, the princess from Li Jiaozhi, Shang Yueqing, the princess from Ryukyu Kingdom, and the last one was Shimazu Minnan, the youngest daughter of Shimazu Yoshihiro, Japan's Daming Shimazu Yoshihiro.

Needless to say, the four girls are beautiful, and they dare not send them to the Ming Dynasty. The oldest Shimazu Nan is twenty years old this year. When Japan invaded Li's North Korea and was defeated after the Ming Dynasty's intervention, Shimazu Yoshihiro was the commander-in-chief of the navy. In order to protect his fiefdom from being attacked by the joint navy, he sent his favorite little daughter Shimazu Nan to discuss peace with the Ming Dynasty. Although the peace talks were successful, Shimazu Nan became a laughing stock in the Ming Dynasty's harem because of makeup issues. There was no woman from a dynasty in Chinese history, and she thought that black teeth and white faces were beautiful.

Think about it, the Chinese people may be able to accept the makeup of Japanese geisha. Therefore, although Shimazu Nan learned to put on makeup again and was really beautiful, he could not be appreciated by the Apocalypse Emperor.

The other three women could only blame their fate. When they were sent to the Ming Dynasty, they first met Li Xuanshi's dictatorship, and then Keshi took power. They had never seen Emperor Tianqi before, so they were sent to Xiunu Palace to stay. If Zhu Youjian had not asked Wang Chengen to go to Xiunu Palace to pick people, they would have stayed in Xiunu Palace until they died.

Shang Yueqing and Li Jie are the same year. Both are eighteen years old. Li Zhen and the youngest are only sixteen. Four girls depend on each other in the Xiunu Palace. If they are sent out together, they are considered as having a companion.

When Wang Chengen came to pick people at first, several women thought they were going to be taken to accompany Emperor Tianqi to bury them. Who knew that Wang Chengen comforted them with kind words and said that he had found a good master for them, and that he would just serve the new master in the future.

Whether it is their country or the Ming Dynasty, it is normal to give away women, but there is basically a principle that the person who gives them is basically the same. But what these women cannot believe is that the emperor gave them to an ordinary official. Strictly speaking, Zhou Shixiong is just a fake official with an official body, and officials without power are of course fake officials.

The four girls sat in the car silently. Their fate was uncontrollable since they were born, and it was impossible to predict who they ended up in the hands of. Now, seeing the new master, although he was not a big official, he was finally a young man, and there was only one thing to be grateful for.

The capital was not far from Hejian Mansion, and it happened to be a one-day drive to Fucheng. Zhou Er rushed back to report the good news. Zhou Shixiong also knew that in Li Fusheng that this was a beauty behind him, the emperor had already given two palace maids.

Just now, when Zhou Shixiong arranged for four girls to transfer to the carriage, Li Fusheng met the four girls. His summary was, "Those two are not as beautiful as these four." It is really difficult. Zhou Shixiong can really make the difference between women.

Passing by Youshi Inn, Zhou Shixiong ran down to find Youshi. Unfortunately, the waiter said that Youshi had not been to the inn for several days. It is said that he was worried about Zhou Shixiong's situation and was sick. Zhou Shixiong really wanted to go to Youshi's house to see him, but he couldn't see his concubine first and then his uncle. He had no choice but to entrust the waiter to go to Youshi to report the news and came back.

Back to Zhouzhuang, Zhou Zhizhu, Zhou Gongyi, Liu Wang and Sun Chuanting stood in line at the entrance of the village, and was very unruly welcomed the young man. Zhou Shixiong knew etiquette this time, jumped out of the car and knelt on the ground to greet the elders and apologized.

Liu Wang won’t say that he was nominally a slave to Zhou Shixiong. Zhou Gongyi was just a matchmaker. Zhou Zhizhu and Sun Chuanting were indeed qualified to be given a great gift from Zhou Shixiong, but both of them felt sorry for Zhou Shixiong. Liu Wang and Zhou Gongyi persuaded him a little, and the two immediately helped Zhou Shixiong up with a donkey.

Back at Zhou Mansion, Zhou Shixiong roughly talked about the whole thing. Although Zhou Shixiong had already used the Spring and Autumn style, the content still made several old people frightened. Sun Chuanting sighed, "I didn't expect them to be like this, and they dared to be like this!" He was angry. In his mind, Emperor Tianqi was deceived, and the guilty one was Wei Zhongxian and other eunuchs. Now Emperor Tianqi was actually murdered by the eunuchs. How could he not be angry?

Others are just ordinary people, and they only listen to these things as legendary stories, and they are not as deeply touched as him.

"By the way, what are you going to do with those two palace maids?" Zhou Zhizhu is currently the head of the family. Although he has been a bachelor's head for a long time, he only felt the feeling of the head of the family after Zhou Shixiong came back.

"What should I do? Since it's mine, I can't do whatever I want. I can't be a ancestor to offer it. And I also rewarded four more this time, and all of them were arranged in my yard. It's not convenient for the others rewarded by the emperor, so I won't arrange for them to serve the second uncle. Don't be angry."

"Boy, when will the second uncle be angry? Don't arrange your uncle's fault?" Zhou Zhizhu laughed and scolded Zhou Shixiong, and the arrangements for these women were decided.

"Ziqi, postponing the provincial examination is a good thing for you. You must not be wasted during this period. Practice more eight-legged essays and you will be more confident when you take the exam next time." Sun Chuanting came back to his senses and heard the uncle and nephew of the Zhou family talking about women, and immediately spoke up for warning.

"Teacher, I happened to have some ideas, let's go to the study to talk." After prosecuting several old men, Zhou Shixiong and Sun Chuanting went to the study to talk.

"What's so serious?"

"Teacher, I don't want to continue the scientific examination." Zhou Shixiong said something shocked Sun Chuanting. Seeing that Sun Chuanting had no reaction, he was actually frightened. Zhou Shixiong expressed his reasons, "Teacher, I have seen a lot during this period and heard a lot, and found that being an official is a very dangerous thing. As the Minister of State, Huo Weihua just presented something to the palace and was sent to the imperial prison and was sent to the imperial prison for suffering. Teacher, don't debate with me, I don't know whether he is good or bad, but I have read all the files about Linglu Drink. There is no evidence that Huo Weihua intends to murder the late emperor, and that Taoist is not like setting up a situation to murder anyone. They just don't know the harm of Linglu Drink."

Zhou Shixiong made a cup of tea for Sun Chuanting, and then told the story of the new emperor being drugged. "The same was poisoned by others, one was intentional, and the other was intentional, but the whole family who did not intend to harm others suffered, but those who wanted to harm others could be safe and sound. If the poisoned person ran away now, maybe the emperor would have no choice but to do anything to him. Such a chaotic disciple did not want to step in, and the disciples did not have the idea of ​​sacrificing themselves for others."

Sun Chuanting was very sad. He was taught since he was a child that he could sacrifice everything for justice. Although this disciple studied a lot, he had no guidance and had no idea of ​​the secret of the way of sages. He actually said that he did not want to sacrifice for others. If Zhou Shixiong was Sun Chuanting's son, he would beat this rebellious son to death to thank him. But Zhou Shixiong was not good, not that Sun Chuanting could not beat Zhou Shixiong, but that Sun Chuanting had found a reason to excuse his disciples.

Living in a barbarian land since childhood, his parents died and no one taught him. Although Liu Wang raised him, it was a pity that Liu Wang was also a barbarian. Even if he passed the exam, he would not understand the Confucian way. How could he teach Zhou Shixiong? It was not the disciple's fault, and he was no wonder.

"Zi Qi, it's okay not to participate in the imperial examination for the time being. You have read a lot of books now but have not carefully understood the essence of the book. It's not too late to read the book for a few more years." Sun Chuanting has two ways to let Zhou Shixiong understand what the way of sages is. The fast way is to tell him and force him to accept it. The slow way is to let Zhou Shixiong understand it himself. For the sake of his disciples, Sun Chuanting chose the second method.

"It's the teacher." Sun Chuanting let this matter go temporarily, so Zhou Shixiong had to stop mentioning it. He couldn't have amazement over this matter.

"What are the arrangements for Ziqi next?" In order to ease the atmosphere, Sun Chuanting took the initiative to find a topic.
