Chapter 95

Zhou Shuren waited for Zhulan to enter the back room before he took out the test paper in his arms, and he didn't hide it, "A while ago, I went to Jiangnan with the escort company. Question, this is a copy I hand-copied and handed over to the clan, hoping it will be helpful to the clan's candidates who will take part in the next year's rural examination."

Patriarch Zhou finally couldn't calm down. He hadn't heard the news that Zhou Shuren went to Jiangnan, and he got something good even after he came back. He was startled, and glad that his instinct was right. He hurriedly took the test paper and flipped through it. Tong Sheng, who knows the importance of the paper questions, was excited after reading it a few times.

The surname Zhou has several generations of in-laws who are incompetent and have no strength. Surviving in troubled times has lost a lot of capable clansmen. Not to mention getting the questions of the township examination, the surname Zhou even has to contribute money from within the clan to participate in the scientific examination fee. It is rare. Touching the title of the paper, "Okay, okay, Shuren, uncle read you right, the book knows that you are capable, uncle thank you on behalf of the younger generation in the clan."

It is a pity that Zhou Shuren was the best student among his peers back then, but it is a pity that he was born at an untimely time. After the establishment of the dynasty, the child was young, so there was no way. Zhou Shuren's thoughts were all on cultivating his son. A Juren asylum family has come out.

Zhou Shuren is willing to talk to smart people without having to explain it clearly. It doesn't take much effort at all. Zhou Shuren smiled, "This is what I should do. The patriarch's gratitude is to discourage me. I will trouble the patriarch with one thing. In the spring of next year, I will I want Changlian and Changzhi to return to ethnology, and Mingyun and Rongchuan to study in ethnology."

Patriarch Zhou stroked his beard and was happy. Zhou Shuren's reintegration into the clan was a great thing for the clan. He looked forward to Zhou Shuren even more, and his eyes fell on the paper questions. These not only took a lot of effort, but also must have taken a lot For money, Zhou Shuren's family must have a solid foundation.

It's a little unnatural to think that the elders of the father and grandfather's generation had the idea of ​​​​playing Zhou Shuren's team, but Zhou Shuren even offered to read Rongchuan, so he has money, and he secretly thought that it's no wonder that the idea of ​​​​playing this team in the clan is the same. Money trouble.

Patriarch Zhou thought that the scientific examination would require a lot of money, and Zhou Shuren's family would be more likely to give up their candidates if they had no shortage of money.

Zhou Shuren's family re-integrated back, and the clan's imperial examinations collected money, and Zhou Shuren would not be stingy to show favors. What attention was paid to re-integrating into the clan, he was clear in his heart, and it was all mutually beneficial. I heard that Changzhi has been doing well, so he can just come to study after the next year, and the two freshmen will follow the new batch of children."

Zhou Shuren stood up and thanked, "Thank you patriarch."

Patriarch Zhou smiled, "It's an outsider to call patriarch, call uncle."

In the house, Zhulan also knew from the chat that, counting up several generations, their branch is really related to the patriarch's family. When the Zhou family merged in, several generations married the daughters of the Zhou family's in-laws. Zhou Shuren's wife Grandma is the in-law of the patriarch's branch.

Although it has been several generations, but in the end there are some relatives.

Zhulan was stunned by what she heard, she didn't remember these things, and her original mother-in-law didn't say anything about it, but after all, how many generations have passed, it doesn't make any sense to talk about it, since the person is dead long ago, and the love is gone long ago.

If Zhou Shuren hadn't reintegrated into the clan, the patriarch's family wouldn't have mentioned it.

At noon, Patriarch Zhou's house prepared hard dishes, chicken stew, and eight big dishes. Patriarch Zhou also called a few elders who were highly respected in the clan to come over. Ever since he saw Zhou Shuren and saw the title of the paper, there was no such thing as a mature man. Stupid, needless to say everything goes without saying.

Zhulan was originally a capable and cunning person, and she won the favor of all the women in the patriarch's family after several attempts.

Zhulan smiled. In the past, she had no foreign aid, and no one in the clan would help her when she was hacked, and no one would support her. Now it's different. The Zhou Wang family first scolded the unscrupulous women in the village, and then promised to teach others a lesson in Hei Zhulan.

Zhulan is happy, Zhou Wang has a high status in the village,

The patriarch's wife surnamed Zhou is also Lizheng's mother, as long as she speaks up, anyone who thinks about Hei Zhulan will be weighed in the future.

Zhou Shuren and Zhulan returned home full of rewards, boss Zhou has changed a bit after training, and he has a deeper understanding of what is the eldest son and what face he has.

In the next few days, Zhou Shuren and Zhulan took the eldest and grandson to visit the homes of several elders in the clan. The gifts they gave were all cloth, which was enough to make a suit of clothes for an adult. kindness.

Zhulan's wife is also very good at diplomacy, not to mention that she likes Zhulan, at least she has changed her opinion of Zhulan.

The couple's hard work was not in vain, as they gradually interacted with the clan, the village's attitude towards Zhulan immediately changed. Mrs. Zheng didn't dare to be weird when she saw Zhulan, and Zhulan was polite to everyone she met several times.

After a week of busy work, Zhulan and Zhou Shuren didn't move around anymore, and they were quite tired for a week.

Finally able to snuggle up at home, Zhulan doesn't want to get out of bed, these few days are the coldest time of winter, she is terribly cold.

Zhou Shuren was in the main room, and no one of his grandchildren dared to come. Zhulan slept in the quilt after eating, and the warm quilt was comfortable. She turned sideways and said to Zhou Shuren who was holding a book: "Everyone who should visit has visited. , there are still ten days until the new year, you see two days will be a good day, Xue Han and Rong Chuan's affairs have also been done!"

Zhou Shuren put down the book, "Success, let the second son bring Rong Chuan to his father-in-law's family as a New Year's gift tomorrow, and show his father-in-law and mother-in-law Rong Chuan by the way, and let the elder in the clan invite him."

Zhulan saw Zhou Shuren picked up the book again, "Did you forget that there is an important person who hasn't been notified yet?"
