Chapter 171 172 Set Off Again
At the old house of the Zhou family, Mr. Zhou looked at him with disgust. Zhou Yu, who had just returned home after being drunk outside, scolded: "Do you know that man from Shijia Lane has been named on the gold medal list, but you still don't know how to make progress? Look at you drinking like this. You entered school at the same time as others, and they passed the imperial examination. You are still a child, and you are still studying for nothing! From today on, you don’t have to go to the academy. I don’t have any money. For your expenses.”
Zhou Yu staggered drunkenly, looked at Mr. Zhou with drunken eyes, and burped from the wine. The smell of wine was suffocating. Mr. Zhou quickly took a few steps back, "Are you a good person? Hmm!" Zhou Yu pointed at Zhou unsteadily. Master, "Did you know that my father had an extramarital affair...my mother hired murderers to kill people, burp, the family broke up, wuwuwuwu..." Zhou Yu fell to the ground crying, and after a moment, he snored like thunder.
"Nothing can be held up by mud." Mr. Zhou glanced at Zhou Yu, who was sleeping on the ground. He flicked his sleeves and turned around to go to Mrs. Zhou's yard. He saw Mrs. Zhou falling off the couch at some point and lying on the ground. , suddenly became furious and shouted: "Where did the person die? Didn't you see the old lady fall off the couch?"
Madam Ma came in from the outside carrying a respectful bucket. When she heard Mr. Zhou's scolding, she lowered her eyes and said to Mr. Zhou: "Master, I just went to wash the respectful bucket. You sold both Qiuxiang and Qiuyue. There are so many things in the courtyard." I can’t take care of the old lady alone! Master, please send one of Aunt Liu’s girls over to take care of the old lady with her!”
With a "boom", Mr. Zhou kicked Mrs. Ma and threw her bucket to the ground. Mr. Zhou pointed at Mrs. Ma and shouted: "Old Qian Madam, when will it be your turn to make the decision in this house? You are paralyzed." I can't even take care of you, so why do I need you? Take good care of me, or I'll sell you too." After saying that, he raised his feet and left.
Mrs. Ma fell to the ground, looked at Old Mrs. Zhou who was lying on the ground with tears streaming down her face, and cried: "Old lady, you have always been competitive all your life, fighting to death the old man who was so tolerant to you. Did you ever think that you were getting old? Will you live like this?"
Old Mrs. Zhou tilted her mouth and shouted "Ahhh". She tried her best and couldn't say a word. She was secretly hating her heart. He kept thinking about his dead fiancée and never took me seriously. , as long as I hate the people he cares about, it would be better if they all died!
"It's all like this, and I still can't let it go." Seeing the ferocious look in Mrs. Zhou's eyes, Mrs. Ma sighed secretly, silently got up from the ground, and laboriously moved Mrs. Zhou back to the couch to lie down.
A few days later, the emperor issued an order for Zhou Jia to leave for Qingchuan in mid-April to take up his post. He was awarded the sixth rank and Shen Zhong was also asked to bring Zhou Jia a Xingming master named Qian Liang.
Qian Liang stepped forward and saluted Zhou Jia and said, "Student Qian Liang has met Mr. Zhou."
"No courtesy, sir." Zhou Jia saw that although Qian Liang was wearing old clothes and had a thin figure, his eyes were clear when he looked at people, and he should be a man of good character.
Shen Zhong called Zhou Jia aside and said to Zhou Jia: "Mr. Zhou, Mr. Qian is a scholar who has repeatedly tried his best. He is good at punishment, money and food. He used to specialize in helping people write complaints and litigate in Kyoto. In the early years, he offended The clansman who married a noble concubine now makes a living by helping people write plays in the theater. I met the young master for some reason. The young master thought that you still needed a master, so he asked me to find Mr. Qian to help you."
"Chen," before Zhou Jia could say anything, Shen Zhong stopped him and said, "Mr. Zhou, there is no need to be polite. Qian Liang doesn't know the identity of the young master. I will bring him here. You can spend a few days with him to see how you feel." Are they compatible in temperament?"
Zhou Jia cupped his hands in thanks and said, "Okay, thank you very much, Brother Shen."
Shen Zhong left Qian Liang and left. Zhou Jia and Qian Liang sat down and chatted for a while. They found that Qian Liang was quick-thinking, cheerful and satisfied. He asked Qian Liang, "Sir, what do you think of going to Qingchuan?"
Qian Liang stood up, bowed and said: "Sir, this student is poor and alone, and he is willing to do his best for you."
Zhou Jia cupped his hands and said, "Okay, I will have Mr. Lao from now on."
Li Yu took Ruyi and Xiaoyu to Huangzhuang in late March and taught the tenants of Huangzhuang how to select and soak seeds.
When he went home to rest, he asked Zhou Jia to copy down the experiences he had recorded while cultivating rice seeds, and gave them to the printing workshop to print some. He brought them back to Zhuangzi and gave them to Chu Fu, who asked him to distribute them to Zhuangzi. Those tenants.
Chu Fu blushed with shame, and thanked Li Yu Changyi: "Madam, when I first met you, I suspected that you didn't know how to farm. You were claiming credit from someone else, and you were just a villain. "
Li Yu smiled nonchalantly and said: "It's okay, that's because we don't understand each other, and misunderstandings are inevitable. If you have any questions in the future, you can ask Shopkeeper Chu to bring me a letter, and I will go back to the city. .”
Chu Fu bowed again and said, "It's Madam. Have a nice trip, Madam." Chu Fu loaded the things for Li Yu into the car and watched Tiezhu drive away.
Zhou Jia took Zhaocai to Kyoto and negotiated with Shopkeeper Chu Qing of Sihai Bank in Kyoto about the cooperation between the woolen yarn workshop and the bag making workshop. After Zhaocai opened the workshop with Shopkeeper Chu in Kyoto, he went to Qingchuan to meet with Li Mr. and Mrs. Yu meet up.
It was already mid-April when Li Yu returned to the city. Ruyi took Tiezhu to load the luggage into the car and load it.
Li Yu stored some valuable things in the space, packed their luggage, and everyone set off to Qingchuan.
Shopkeeper Chu came with two honest-looking young men to see him off. He pointed at the two men and said to Zhou Jia: "Mr. Zhou, these two are the two nurses raised by the bank. The taller one is called Xu Chun, and the shorter one is Their name is Xu Dong, they are going to Sihai Bank in Qingzhou, so let them go with you and your wife, and help you catch the train and do odd jobs."
Zhou Jia knew that Shopkeeper Chu was staying in Kyoto to attract wealth and was afraid that he would not have enough manpower, so he asked them to help. He smiled and bowed and said, "Thank you Shopkeeper Chu for your thoughtfulness. I'll spare the trouble for the two masters."
"You are too polite," Shopkeeper Chu said to the two of them, "You two, come and see Mr. Zhou and Mrs. Protector.
Xu Chun and Xu Dong quickly bowed and said, "I have met Mr. Zhou, and I have met Madam Protector."
Zhaocai reluctantly told Ruyi: "It's a long journey. Please be more careful along the way. When I open the workshop, I will go to Qingchuan."
Ruyi responded reluctantly: "Well! Don't worry, I know, you should be careful when doing things in Kyoto."
Zhaocai, Chu Qing, Shen Zhong, and Lin Yuxuan sent Zhou Jia and the others out of the North City Gate, and then followed the car for a while. Zhou Jia cupped his hands and said, "I'll see you off after a long journey, and I'll say goodbye. Everyone, please come back." Let’s meet again next time.”
"Okay, see you next time." Everyone waved goodbye and watched the car slowly drive away.
With the help of the nursing home sent by Chu Qing, Zhou Jia was freed from the coachman's position. In the carriage, Zhou Jia held the file and looked at it carefully, while Li Yu leaned against the car window and looked at the scenery outside the window with a smile.
Under the warm sunshine of spring, the mountain flowers are blooming along the way, farmers are working hard in the fields, and there is lush and vigorous vitality everywhere. Unknowingly, it has been five years since he came to this world. Li Yu silently thanked God for his gift in his heart. Let her have relatives in this world who care about her, a lover who loves her, and a home of her own.
