Chapter 148 Leaving each other before departure

PreviousBack to directoryNext
When Zhou Jun returned home, he first reported to his parents that he was safe, and then returned to the wing.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw Xiao Qingchan standing in the room, with dry towels, water, clothes, hats and other items beside him.

Zhou Jun first wiped his face with a dry towel, then moistened it and wiped his neck. Finally, he took off his coat and changed into another set of clothes.

Xiao Qingchan waited until Zhou Jun finished changing, took away the dirty clothes, and walked towards the rear compartment.

During the whole process, Xiao Qingchan didn't say a word.

Zhou Jun was helpless when he saw this.

This Xiao Qingchan has been in the Zhou family for some time. Although she is not choking and crying like when she first entered the house, now she talks little every day and just lowers her head to do things without seeing her doing anything.

Zhou Jun shook his head, went to the study, took down the documents of the Du Litigation, wrote quickly, and began to prepare the documents for tomorrow's hearing.

Halfway through writing, the oil lamp in the study flashed twice, and the light flickered on and off.

Zhou Jun looked inside the lamp and saw that the lamp oil had bottomed out and was about to dry up.

Zhou Jun was about to speak when he heard footsteps coming from outside the study.

After saying goodbye, Xiao Qingchan walked into the study room carrying Dendrobium japonica, and added some oil to the lamp, and the light instantly became brighter.

After adding lamp oil, Xiao Qingchan looked at the documents on the desk, but her steps did not move.

Zhou Jun felt a little strange, so he asked.

Xiao Qingchan hesitated for a while and said: "Zhongque picks the end, but there is one word that is wrongly written."

Zhou Jun was stunned, looked down at the document, and asked: "Where?"

Xiao Qingchan said softly: "In this sentence, 'Everything is complicated and difficult to tie together.' Should the 'tie' here be 'all'?"

Zhou Jun took a closer look and felt a thump in his heart.

There is indeed a typo here. The original meaning in the article is that Du Lili has been busy with affairs recently, and it will be difficult to make progress on all (these things) before the end of the month.

Unexpectedly, the candlelight was dim and Zhou Jun was sleepy all the way, so he wrote the wrong word.

This official document is to be submitted to Wei Yuanwai Lang. It has already been written more than half. If it is corrected, it will be a fault of incomplete writing. But if it is not corrected, it will be scolded if it is seen.

Or, rewrite?

Zhou Jun looked out the window and sighed in his heart. He was afraid he would have to work overtime tonight.

Xiao Qingchan saw Zhou Jun's expression and said softly: "You can keep the words, no need to change them."

Zhou Jun looked at Xiao Qingchan with confusion on his face.

Xiao Qingchan said: "The three words 'Xie', 'Xie' and 'Xie' have the same ancient meaning. There is a saying in the "Book of the Later Han Dynasty": "Arrived from across the sea, the wind and waves are difficult, and the relationship is drowned."

"The word 'system' here means continuation. If it is combined with the word 'jin', it means to continue to advance."

"And because the words 'tie' and 'tie' are common, the words 'all the affairs are complicated and difficult to tie' in the article are not wrong, but the allusions are a little less common."

"It's just that 'Xi Jin' has been changed to 'Xi Jin', and the text needs to be changed a little in order to match the meaning of the text."

After hearing this, Zhou Jun looked at Xiao Qingchan with a bit of admiration in his eyes.

This woman is well-read and has an exquisite literary mind. She is truly a talented woman.

Following Xiao Qingchan's suggestion, Zhou Jun finished writing the official document regarding the lawsuit and breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhou Jun looked behind him again, and there was no trace of Xiao Qingchan, but she had already left the study.

The next day, after finishing his busy work and attending court proceedings, Zhou Jun let go of his wife and rode his horse to Beili Zhongqu in Pingkangfang.

Today, Chief Cheng officially received the letter of relocation and will return to his hometown to take up his post soon.

Xie Qin held a banquet at Guran's residence, and invited several other Beili residents to see Master Cheng off.

Zhou Jun has been under the care of Chief Cheng since he entered the capital lawsuit, so he naturally wanted to accompany him.

First, he went to the East Market to buy some good wine. Zhou Jun rode his horse to the stable of Pingkangfang, where he kept his horse and walked towards Beili Zhongqu.

Because he was wearing an official robe and because Zhou Jun was also a famous figure in Beili Sanqu, Xie Qin was already waiting at the door before he reached his former residence.

After not seeing each other for half a year, Zhou Jun, who had been to Mobei, had changed a lot, both in body shape and temperament. When Xie Qin first saw him, there was still a look of surprise on his face, and he didn't dare to match it.

It wasn't until Zhou Jun opened his mouth that Xie Qin smiled slightly and said: "Master Zhou is responsible for the northward journey. The three songs in Beili have been spread all over the world. In addition, with the post of Kanlu in the West Chamber, your name is incomparable.

Everyone knows that I am here to congratulate Master Zhou."

Zhou Jun smiled and said: "There's no credit for it, it's just ordinary things. Don't call me the boss. Just call me Erlang."

Jie Qin looked into Zhou Jun's eyes, and after a moment, she lowered her head and said softly: "Yes, Erlang is still the same Erlang."

Zhou Jun didn't hear the words clearly, so he asked.

Xie Qin smiled and shook his head: "Nothing, Erlang, come in quickly."

Zhou Jun handed the wine in his hand to the maid beside him, and followed Xie Qin into the gate of his former residence.

In the courtyard where Ran lived, there were flowers in bloom, and the breeze carried fragrance.

Several desks are placed in the courtyard, with a high table in the middle.

The maids of Gu Ranju divided the dishes into packages and placed them on each table. Steamed cakes, naan and other staple foods were placed in large dishes and placed on the high table in the middle.

When Zhou Jun saw it, he also remembered the dining etiquette of the Tang Dynasty.

During the Han Dynasty, both home meals and banquets were eaten separately, that is, divided meals.

In the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Confucianism was challenged by metaphysics, high tables and large chairs appeared, and dietary customs were influenced by ethnic minorities, so the phenomenon of eating at the same table gradually emerged.

In the Tang Dynasty, especially in the middle of the Tang Dynasty, dining together became more and more popular. Most of the folk family banquets and banquets in restaurants were "eating together", that is, everyone gathers around the table and everyone gets what they need.

However, in places such as high-ranking households, aristocratic families, palaces, or formal occasions, such as large banquets, sharing meals is still the main way of dining etiquette.

In the courtyard, Chief Cheng was looking at the flowers with his hands behind his hands, and everyone else in Beili knew that She Hongzhi, Song Ruo'e, Liu Xiaoxian and Xiyuna had also arrived.

She Hongzhi was talking to Xiyuna. Song Ruo'e was hiding in a corner with a smile on her lips, as if she was reading some letter. As for Liu Xiaoxian, she was still looking around, but when she saw Zhou Jun, she ran over happily.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Arriving in front of Zhou Jun, Liu Xiaoxian first said a blessing, and then said softly: "Master Zhou is finally here. The slave family has been waiting for a long time."

Zhou Jun glanced at Liu Xiaoxian and said, "Liu Douzhi might as well call him Zhou Erlang."

Liu Xiaoxian was stunned for a moment, then he immediately realized what he was doing, and he quickly smiled and said, "Mr. Zhou."

Zhou Jun nodded and went to Chief Cheng first. He cupped his hands and said in a low voice: "The matter was delayed. Jun is late."

Chief Cheng seemed to be lost in thought. Zhou Jun shouted again before the former reacted.

Chief Cheng turned to look at Zhou Jun, nodded and said, "Erlang is here."

Zhou Jun saw that Master Cheng had a sad look on his face and thought that he was sad that he would leave Chang'an soon, so he advised: "Chang'an is only a day's journey away from Sizhou. If the master has time, he can go back and travel."

Chief Cheng looked at Zhou Jun, shook his head and said with a smile: "Erlang, do you think I can't bear to part with the beautiful scenery of Chang'an?"

Zhou Jun was stunned and thought to himself, maybe he guessed wrong.

Director Cheng didn't say anything else, he just patted Zhou Jun on the shoulder, greeted Jie Qin, and took the table.

Zhou Jun was confused, but he also entered the table and saw that everyone knew about it. Only Song Ruo'e was still hiding in the corner, reading the letter, and couldn't help but look at Jie Qin and asked.

Jie Qin glanced in the direction of Song Ruo'e, smiled and said to Zhou Jun: "The layman got a letter from the lover of the Zhong family. The latter said that he would attend the Spring Festival next year and would come to Chang'an in August."

Zhou Jun was stunned.

When everyone arrived, the banquet officially began.

Chief Cheng filled the glass with water and wine, drank it all in one gulp, and then said to everyone in the room: "I'm afraid it will be difficult for Cheng to return to Chang'an again if we say farewell. From now on, all matters in Beili will be decided by Zhou Erlang."

Everyone knew it and agreed together.

Chief Cheng poured another glass, looked at Zhou Jun from a distance, and said: "Women from Beili, your life is hard and you have to do asceticism. I hope you will be able to support me."

Zhou Jun did not dare to raise his eyebrows, so he stood up from the banquet with a wine glass, bowed first, and then drank the wine in one gulp.

She Hongzhi first glanced at Chief Cheng, then smiled at Zhou Jun and said: "Zhou Lang has made great achievements this time. I heard that he has been appreciated by the emperor. He will rise to great heights and be just around the corner. I wonder if he will still remember us when he is in a high position one day.

A woman whose fate is like duckweed?"

Before Zhou Jun could speak, Chief Cheng said to She Hongzhi: "We all know that in terms of mind and intelligence, no one can match you; but in terms of people's intelligence, you are not as good as you."

"Hongzhi, please remember what Cheng said. Be careful in the future. Your cleverness will be misled by your cleverness."

When She Hongzhi heard this, her face darkened, then she frowned and said nothing.

Siyuna, the Hu girl at the table, saw the atmosphere was stiff, rolled her eyes, then put down the wine glass, picked up the wine flask, took a few big sips, and said with a smile: "Mr. Cheng is traveling far away, I don't want to drink wine."

I can write and draw, and I can’t recite poems and poems. I can only dance some Hu Xuan. That’s good, I’ll give you a dance, and it can be regarded as a farewell gift!”

After saying that, Siyuna walked into the field, stretched her arms, and danced gracefully.

Zhou Jun looked at her and saw the Hu girl dancing, with her clothes and belt flying, her face looking like she was overlooking all living things; her dancing posture was enchanting, but she was smiling at the various aspects of life.

Although there is no music to accompany it, it is like falling into a fairyland, and there is a faint feeling of Dunhuang flying to the sky.

Liu Xiaoxian on the side saw Zhou Jun watching the dance carefully, and couldn't help but feel jealous. She secretly spat at Xiyuna in the field: "Bah, the evil spirit of Zoroastrianism!"

After the dance, Zhou Jun couldn't help himself and said hello.

As a result, the banquet atmosphere became better and better, no longer stagnant.

When the banquet was over, everyone left.

Only Xie Qin and Zhou Jun were left, chatting with Chief Cheng.

The latter said to Zhou Jun: "Erlang, Cheng is leaving Chang'an and I have something to ask of you."

Zhou Jun cupped his hands and said, "Sir, please tell me. As long as I can do my best, I will never refuse."

Chief Cheng looked at Xie Qin and said: "Xie Qin is smart and eager to learn, and she is also smart and smart. Thanks to her support over the years, everything in Beili has been clarified. I have always regarded her as my own son, and I only ask Erlang to find someone for her in the future."

A good home.”

Zhou Jun listened to Chief Cheng's request and looked at Jie Qin, who also had a look of surprise on his face.

After thinking carefully, Zhou Jun handed over to Chief Cheng and said, "I will definitely live up to my trust."
