After hearing Qu Sanweng's words, Zhou Jun lowered his head and fell into silence.

Qu Sanweng bowed and asked, "What do you call Xiao Langjun?"

Zhou Jun: "Someone's surname is Zhou, and Qu Weng called me Zhou Erlang."

After saying that, Zhou Jun asked Qu Sanweng again: "What did Qu Weng do in Guanzhong before?"

Qu Sanweng: "Farming, but later the land disappeared. He picked up his ancestors' old skills and became a bricklayer."

Zhou Jun nodded and asked again: "Mr. Qu's two sons have inherited your skills?"

Qu Sanweng: "The eldest son learned some basics and could do some small work in Chang'an; the younger son was too stupid and could not learn, so he could only do some rough work."

"It's my eldest daughter-in-law who works as a needle embroidery family, and needlework is excellent, but she's wronged and followed my son."

After hearing this, Zhou Jun had some idea in his mind.

The old and the young chatted like this for a while. The sun outside the house gradually set in the west, and the people who went out to work came back slowly. The whole duckweed house became lively as he saw it.

Qu Sanweng's eldest son, Qu Chaoli, limped into the hall with his wife's support.

Qu Sanweng was shocked when he saw this scene, he quickly stood up and went up and asked, "What's going on?"

Qu Chaoli Qiang smiled and said, "Aye, I didn't pay attention when I was working, and I fell off the crawler, it's okay."

Zhou Jun looked at Qu Chaoli's arm and there were bruises of varying depths on the outside of the forearm. It was obviously the scars left on the head when he was beaten.

Qu Chaoli's wife had tears on her face. She was about to say something, but after thinking about it, she swallowed the words at the edge of her mouth.

Qu Sanweng: "I have said it many times, don't be distracted when doing work."

Qu Chaoli quickly said yes and asked again: "Where is Chaoyi others?"

Qu Sanweng slapped his forehead: "I almost forgot that a guest came to our family. This is Zhou Erlang."

When Qu Chaoli saw Zhou Jun, he saw that the other party was wearing gorgeous clothes and extraordinary style, he hurriedly bowed to salute.

After looking at the sun, Qu Sanweng touched his waist for a long time, and finally found three copper plates. He quietly took out the money and whispered to his eldest daughter-in-law: "Chunniang, there are distinguished guests at home today. Take this money to buy some food at the intersection."

Seeing this, Zhou Jun reached into his arms and said, "Stay for a while, there is something here..."

Qu Sanweng was shocked and quickly grabbed Zhou Jun, pulled him behind the cloth curtain, and whispered: "What are you doing with your little husband?"

Zhou Jun was puzzled: "I plan to get some copper wealth, please buy it for you..."

Before Zhou Jun finished speaking, Qu Sanweng said again: "Since you have come to the old man's house, how can you let the distinguished guest pay?"

Zhou Jun said, "Mr. Qu's words are wrong. Someone came to visit, but he didn't even bring the door-to-door gift. Now he spends some money and buys some food. Does Mr. Qu still agree?"

Qu Sanweng was stunned for a while, and knew that it was not good to persuade him again, so he smiled bitterly and agreed.

Zhou Jun took out a small skewer of 100 yuan from his arms and handed it to Qu Sanweng, saying, "Don't forget to buy more cakes, meat and wine."

Qu Sanweng held the money and said straight: "There are too much, there are too many, so I can't use this much."

Zhou Jun ignored it and just kept urging him.

Qu Sanweng had no choice but to hand over the money to Chunniang and gave a few more instructions.

Chunniang turned around, hid the small string of money in her close-fitting clothes, carefully lifted the curtain, and saw that no one was paying attention, she lowered her head and walked out quickly.

Seeing Zhou Jun’s face showing surprise, Qu Sanweng sighed, “I’m just a joke. In this duckweed house, wealth is not revealed and rice is not borrowed from neighbors. This is the rule that everyone knows.”

Zhou Jun: "I can understand that if you have money, you don't reveal it. Why is it that if you have rice, you don't borrow neighbors?"

Qu Sanweng: "In the duckweed house, there are hundreds of people. Even if you have money and rice, how much can you lend to others? Even if you lend it to others today, what should you do tomorrow?"

"Also, everyone doesn't have much ration in their hands. If you give it to others, maybe in the end, both of them will starve to death."

Zhou Jun could only sigh when he heard this.

Soon, Chunniang ran back.

When she got closer, she carefully pulled up the cloth curtain, then opened the bulging coat, and took out food and wine from it.

Seeing the food and drinks being placed on the mat one by one, Zhou Jun could clearly hear the sound of the Qu family swallowing their saliva.

The next thing surprised Zhou Jun.

Chunniang put the wine and food, and then placed the remaining copper coins in front of Zhou Jun one by one.

Qu Sanweng was worried that Zhou Jun would refuse, so he said, "The little husband invited this meal. The old man was already uneasy. How dare he be greedy for money anymore? Just put the money away quickly."

Zhou Jun turned around and looked at the hungry baby in Rouxing's arms, and pushed the copper coins at Qu Sanweng: "Please take the rest to add some clothes to your grandson."

When Chunniang heard this, she bit her lip and poked Qu Chaoli with her hand.

The latter bit the bullet and said to Qu Sanweng: "Aye..."

Qu Sanweng glanced at the grandson, gritted his teeth and said, "Forget it, Zhou Erlang's great kindness, Qu Sanren has received it."

Seeing that Qu Sanweng took the money, Zhou Jun nodded.

Then, Zhou Jun accompanied Qu Weng's family and ate the evening meal.

After spending dinner, Zhou Jun saw that it was dark outside and it was impossible to go home, so he stayed in the duckweed house and planned to spend the night.

After chatting with the Qu family, Zhou Jun learned that the Qu family's ancestors were famous craftsmen in the Sui Dynasty.

The Qu family participated in the famous Sui Dynasty projects such as Tongji Canal and Qin Dandao.

Later, at the rebellion of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, wars grew increasingly. In order to avoid being pulled to build the city walls and build the city walls, the ancestors of the Qu family gave up their identity as craftsmen and lived under their identities by farming.

By the time of Qu Sanweng's generation, the Qu family's craftsmanship had gone six or seven years.

The land was annexed by the wealthy families, and they could only do some small work in Chang'an City to supplement their family income.

That night, people were already asleep.

Zhou Jun lay on the side of the wall, looking at the stars in the night sky through the broken hole in the roof, and fell into deep thought.

There is no doubt about the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, but behind this prosperity, in an unknown corner, there is a snowflake falling.

The displacement of this snowflake will trigger the collapse of the second and third pieces, which will cause an avalanche, and eventually trigger the Anshi Rebellion eleven years later, until the demise of the entire Tang Dynasty.

If you correct the position of this snowflake, will millions of kind and hard-working people like Qu Sanweng have a better life?

If you corrected the location of this snowflake, would the Anshi Rebellion not have happened? Will the Tang Dynasty stay away from the ending of being bullied by foreign tribes?

But the question is, what exactly is this snowflake?

How should you correct it?

The next morning, Zhou Jun got up early, walked through the sleeping people all over the ground, and came to the courtyard of the duckweed house.

He saw his horse at first sight, tied to a big tree.

On the horse's back, someone was worried that the night was cold, so he specially covered it with a cloth robe.

Zhou Jun approached and saw Qu Sanweng's second son, the young man named Qu Chaoyi, was curled up beside the tree and slept with the horse all night.

He only wore a thin underwear, and his lips were so cold that they lost their blood.

Zhou Jun opened his eyes wide and then sighed deeply.

Take off his coat from his body, Zhou Jun gently covered it on Qu Chaoyi, turned around and returned to the inner room of the duckweed house, and said to Qu Sanweng who had just woken up, "Take up your belongings, I will take you to a place."
