early morning!

Thousands of light shone in the east, and the scorching sun was rising, red like an iron pot burning with flames.

While yawning, Wu Laosan walked slowly on the street with a shoulder pole. He carried baskets on both ends of the shoulder pole. The baskets were covered with rough cloth, and a thick layer of cloth was covered with steaming pancakes.

Every morning, he travels around the streets to sell sesame cakes. Wu Laosan has been in such a business for more than 20 years. If nothing unexpected happens, he will continue to work until his son takes over him. However, Wu Laosan has his own cleverness and likes to come to the wealthy houses to sell. The demand here has always been quite large. In addition, his craftsmanship is not enough, but he has more than enough, so his life is stable.

Cruff, creak, creak, and with the sound of the wooden door opening, the back door of the Zhou family slowly opened, and an old wooden door had traces of damage in many places. The wooden door was pushed open by the servant in the blue shirt and strode out. He was strong in shape, his arms were bulging, and he was holding a big handful of ropes.

Wu Laosan, who had just walked to the back door of the Zhou family, couldn't help but look curious. A man holding a rope walked out from behind a manager who was nearly fifty years old. His temples were white and his face was full of wrinkles. Even in the world of fairy tales, his productivity was still low. Ordinary people were aging before they were old. Fifty was a long life for ordinary people. He preached to the man in front. "While the young master didn't know, throw the things away, and the wife of the princess was sad when she saw it."

"No," the man responded, and left with a rope in his arms,

Wu Laosan walked to the manager with a shoulder pole, lowered his body and put down the basket carried by the shoulder pole, rubbed his shoulders, and came to the manager's side in two or three steps and said, "Mr. Li, okay,"

"Didn't Wu Laosan tell you yesterday that there is no need for Shaobing in the mansion today?" Manager Li's brows were slightly beating, and he looked at the two baskets of Shaobing and shook his head slightly.

After saying that, Manager Li walked towards the back door and ignored Wu Laosan. He just took a step forward. Manager Li stopped. He turned around and said to Wu Laosan. "The Zhou Mansion is all the cakes. You didn't see anything just now? You never knew that Zhou Mansion had thrown things."

"I didn't see it, I didn't see it, I didn't see it," Wu Laosan quickly promised. He smiled and carried the shoulder pole and followed Manager Li into the back door, for fear that Manager Li would regret it.

He handed over the money to Wu Laosan and sent Wu Laosan to leave. Seeing Wu Laosan leaving Zhou's mansion, Zhou did not slowly walk to Manager Li's side. She looked at the back of Zhou's mansion, "Can this person succeed?"

"Don't worry, Madam, Wu Laosan has always been curious. He has just raised his curiosity. He will definitely ask Zhou Li who just walked out with a rope."

"Zhou Li has a disadvantage of being a human being. Once he drinks a lot, he will not keep his mouth shut. He will definitely tell everything he knows. Wu Laosan knows it, just like Wu'an County. Besides, I dare not say that the people I arranged within three days, but everyone who should know will know it." Manager Li slowly explained. He explained every step he arranged clearly. Even if it was not the first time he explained it, he knew that his wife was uneasy and liked to listen to such words with peace of mind.

Manager Li was complicated in his heart. Every time he told the steps he arranged, he couldn't help but be amazed. Such methods opened his eyes and the young master had the dangers of mountains and rivers in his heart.

After Wu Laosan walked out of Zhou's mansion with two baskets of cakes, he looked at Zhou's mansion with curiosity. He felt like there was a cat in his heart, tickling his heart with his cat's paws, making him itchy and want to know why. His curiosity brought him more than once to him. He was beaten by his servants more than once, but he did not change his mind. However, Wu Lao's three-pointer, major issues such as money, were not afraid to inquire about it. After waiting for a while, when he saw Zhou Li come back, he immediately met him and called to Zhou Li; "Brother Zhou made some money today, and went to find him later,"

"Hello," Zhou Li responded. He was not unfamiliar with Wu Laosan. Wu Laosan, who often gave baked cakes in Zhou's mansion last year, has always been responsible for the reception. The two of them have long known each other.

The next afternoon, the royal palace!

Wang Jian sat upright on a rattan chair, beside him was a towering mulberry tree with dense branches and leaves, large and thick leaves, lush and green like a canopy, covering up the light and leaving shade for Wang Jian.

"God of Haotian is extremely mysterious and virtuous, the way of heaven and man's hearts are only exquisite and sincere, the creation of the universe is widely spread, the generation and restraint of yin and yang are complicated, the emperor has established a constitution, and he is lucky to be with everyone!"

Lang Lang's chanting sound accompanied by Wang Jian's lips squirming, slowly resounding in the courtyard. A volume of Emperor's Sutra was recited by him. The county examination was about to be imminent, and he also began to prepare carefully. Only by passing the county examination could he obtain the fame of children. Although there was no way to open the Tao to obtain the right to practice Taoism, the child was the beginning of all fame. If you want to be a scholar, you must have the fame of children. This identified the importance of children. Children were like a key, opening the door to the imperial examination for many students.

A book boy walked slowly, came to Wang Jian and stood still.

"Everything in the world is different, and it is divided into two parts. First, it is named by yin and yang, and then it is divided by its concreteness. It is divided by its subjects, and it is listed in its constitution and regulations. Each chooses its own abilities and acts according to its basis. Even if it is difficult to be exhausted in all ages, it may be helpful or not. Be careful and practice, and you can practice well, and have no special complaints and no resentment. Be harmonious and free, and the emperor and his company will walk together. If you want to see the emperor, you will be extremely empty and quiet, and you can enter spiritual cultivation. There are different qualifications, different beliefs and stubbornness, and you will have different ways of difficulty and ease. The way of heaven is vast, the way of humanity is vague, and you will be fully qualified and detailed!"

"What's the matter?" Wang Jian recited the Emperor's Sutra once, then put down the Emperor's Sutra in his hand, looked at the Shutong beside him and asked. He had already ordered that he should not disturb him if he had nothing to do. If Shutong could come, he meant that something had happened.

"The Third Young Master, everyone outside is talking about the Zhou family."

"What did Zhou Lang do? It actually caused a lot of discussion?" Wang Jian showed an interesting look. He became interested, picked up the tea on the table in front of him, took a sip and asked.

"It is rumored outside that Young Master Zhou made great ambitions when he was young and wanted to be the gods for his father. For this reason, when he was studying hard every day, in order to prevent himself from sleeping in the middle of the journey, one end of the rope was tied to the beam of the house, and the lower end was tied to his hair. In this way, whenever he was tired and sleepy and wanted to doze off, as long as he lowered his head, the rope would suddenly pull his hair, and he would wake up and drive away his sleepiness in pain."

In the middle of the night, it was between 23:00 and 1:00 in the morning. In ancient times, one hour was converted to two hours. In modern times, 23:00 in the middle of the night was nothing. At this time, there were many people who went to the bar to drink and play games. However, in the age of lack of entertainment, it was basically dark and rising from the sun. It was already amazing when reading until midnight. Wang Jian didn't know about the bar in front, but he knew what it meant to read until midnight, and his originally despised expression became solemn.

"Hung his head on the beam," Wang Jian murmured to himself, then said with a bright smile on his face; "Brother Zhou, Brother Zhou,"

"I thought Wu'an County Middle School students were all mediocre people, but I didn't expect you to be the one who is a second person,"

His eyes flashed, and he didn't believe such news. The Zhou family is a branch of the Zhou family in Yecheng and is among the rich families in Wu'an County. If Zhou Lang had been studying on his head, there would have been news. Now, the incident of raising his head on the head before Zhou Fangbo, a famous official in Jizhou, was about to arrive. This is really a coincidence. It is not a coincidence.

"I, Wang Jian, have always been clear about my grudges when doing things,"

"Go to Huiqinglou, you owed a favor to Brother Zhou Xian, so I will help you. I want to see if your fish hook can catch Zhou Fangbo, a big fish," Wang Jian drank the tea in one sip. He saw that Zhou Lang was going to be famous with the banquet for local students at the famous Jizhou official Zhou Fangbo Huiqinglou.

Is the reputation of hanging the beam true or rumored? It depends on the Huiqinglou banquet. Zhou Fangbo set the tone for the famous officials in Jizhou, and this move seems to be extremely successful, but it is not risk-free. Zhou Fangbo is the direct descendant of the Zhou family of famous officials in Jizhou. Although Zhou Lang's father Zhou Fangwei was re-introduced into the family genealogy of the Zhou family, Zhou Fangwei died early. It is suspense whether Zhou Lang was seen by the Zhou family. If the Zhou family valued Zhou Fangbo, he would naturally follow the steps planned by Zhou Lang and set the reputation of hanging the beam. On the contrary, the Zhou family did not value Zhou Lang's meaning. This way of gaining fame by Zhou Fangbo would definitely cause disgust.

Regardless of success or failure, this matter shows that Zhou Lang is meticulous and has a strategy, and it is worthy of his meritoriousness.
