Chapter 193: When will we know when we will meet each other?
After listening to Song Ruo'e's words, Zhou Jun took another look at the direction where the Jinshi were having their banquet. After thinking for a moment, he said goodbye to both of them.
Walking by the river, Xiao Qingchan asked Zhou Jun softly: "Mother Yu Jun, don't you know where she is right now?"
Zhou Jun said: "There are many people here and even if Yu Jun saw my brother, she would not rush forward to meet him."
Xiao Qingchan looked at the clear and translucent water of Qujiang and said quietly: "What worries me is that Madam Yu Jun came to Qujiang not to talk to Zhou Dalang, but to take a look at him and break off the relationship."
Zhou Jun heard the words and understood the profound meaning of Xiao Qingchan's words, and sighed.
After swimming by the Qujiang River for a while, Zhou Jun took Xiao Qingchan back home.
Zhou Jun waited in the hall for almost an hour before Zhou Dinghai and Luo Sanniang finally entered the house.
As soon as he entered the hall, Zhou Dinghai became furious, banged the table loudly, and shouted: "Wei Sima's nephew's wife is from a famous family, but Ze'er didn't know what to do and ran away in anger! And Ning Xiaoxiao
The eldest daughter of a calligrapher, she is outstanding in appearance and knowledgeable in books, and she is no better than that Beili Ji!"
Luo Sanniang looked sad and advised Zhou Dinghai: "My son is upright and stubborn. It's not like you don't know."
Seeing this, Zhou Jun asked his parents, "Where is my brother? Why hasn't he come back?"
Luo Sanniang said: "Ze'er went to the Wild Goose Pagoda to compose poems with the Jinshi, and he will not be able to come back until later."
Zhou Jun nodded and stopped talking.
In the evening, Zhou Ze, who was slightly drunk, returned home and saw his parents sitting in the hall with dark faces.
When Zhou Dinghai saw Zhou Ze's appearance, he became even more angry and asked in a deep voice: "Did Ze'er see any attractive young lady at the Qujiang Banquet?"
Zhou Ze was stunned and replied: "Why do you ask?"
Luo Sanniang then said: "There are many people today who came to ask about Ze'er's marriage, but you didn't take a fancy to any of them?"
No matter how stupid Zhou Ze was, he heard the overtones of his parents at this time and asked: "I promised before that if Chun Wei succeeds, I will marry Yu Junniang. Do you want to go back on it now?"
Luo Sanniang persuaded her sincerely: "Ze'er has been living in poverty for ten years and finally won the Jinshi. Why bother to fall in love with the Yibeili trick?"
Zhou Ze opened his eyes wide and said, "You clearly had your word before, why did you suddenly change your mind now?"
Zhou Dinghai slapped the table and shouted: "If I don't obey you, how can you study hard?!"
When Zhou Ze heard this, his face turned pale and he said to himself: "It turns out that you have never really agreed to this marriage..."
Seeing Zhou Ze's body crumbling, Luo Sanniang was afraid that something might happen to him because of his anger. She pinched Zhou Dinghai with her hands and said, "Ze'er, let me listen to my mother's words. The ancestors of the Zhou family were born in Nuya, and they have been here for more than a hundred years."
Come on, in the imperial examination process, it is rare to even be a candidate for the imperial examination, let alone a Jinshi."
"Nothing is better than those aristocratic families. There are talents from generation to generation in the family. The Zhou family has endured for so long and finally succeeded in the imperial examination. Waiting for you to be a single seedling. In the future, you will not only bear the responsibility for yourself, but also the legacy of others in the Zhou family."
Way out.”
Zhou Dinghai suppressed his anger, and continued Luo Sanniang's words, saying seriously: "Now that you have won the Jinshi, every move you make will also affect the future of the Zhou family. If the future descendants of the Zhou family want to enter the Imperial College, they may want to
To worship a great sage as a teacher, the background of the elders in the family is very important."
"The ancestor of the Zhou family was born in Nuya, and his reputation has always been bad. If he marries another concubine from Beili, how will the younger generations of the Zhou family have a chance to get ahead?"
Luo Sanniang also advised from the side: "Zer, even if you don't think about yourself and your future descendants, you should at least think about Jun'er and his descendants. If you really marry that Beili prostitute, how can you let
How can Jun'er find a good match?"
Zhou Jun frowned as he listened and stopped talking.
After Zhou Ze listened to his parents' words, he clenched his hands into fists and dug his nails into his palms, especially without knowing it.
He thought for a long time, and finally slowly knelt down and knocked his head heavily on the ground. The sound of his forehead colliding with the stone bricks shocked everyone in the hall.
After kowtowing three times, Zhou Ze struggled to get up from the ground and dragged his steps towards the door.
Zhou Ze's move, although he didn't say a word from beginning to end, gave his parents an answer.
When Zhou Dinghai saw this, he flew into a rage. He picked up the cup on the coffee table, threw it towards the door with all his strength, and shouted: "If you dare to step out of this door, I will never have a son like you again!"
Luo Sanniang cried and shouted: "Zer, why are you suffering?!"
Zhou Jun said: "I will go and persuade my brother."
After saying that, Zhou Jun also walked out of the hall and came to the gate.
When Zhou Ze saw Zhou Jun going out, he opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he didn't know where to start.
What he didn't expect was that Zhou Jun pulled him aside and asked, "Brother, do you still want to marry Yu Junniang?"
Zhou Ze hesitated for a moment and finally nodded.
Zhou Jun signaled Zhou Ze to come over, and then whispered a few words.
After Zhou Ze heard this, he asked with a surprised look on his face: "Can this method work?"
Zhou Jun: "Have I ever deceived you?"
Zhou Ze nodded vigorously and said: "There is no way out for the left and right, so just follow Erlang's method!"
Zhou Jun: "Then we will act according to the plan. Remember to eat something good these days to replenish your body."
Zhou Ze agreed and finally left along the street.
The next day, Zhou Jun let go and went directly to Beili to look for Jie Qin.
Entering Ran's residence, Zhou Jun not only saw Xie Qin, but also met an unexpected guest - She Hongzhi.
When Zhou Jun was surprised, She Hongzhi, who was wearing a red undergarment, said a blessing to him first, and then said with a smile: "I would like to thank Erlang for the script first."
Zhou Jun cupped his hands, said a few polite words, and looked at Xie Qin again.
The latter said: "She Duzhi came to visit Ran's home, but it was to discuss the role in "Butterfly Lovers"."
Zhou Jun suddenly realized that the opera "The Romance of the West Chamber" performed by Beili actors had become the mainstay of Beili's three operas, and was almost always performed when he was on official mission.
Now that She Hongzhi has obtained the script of "Butterfly Lovers", it is natural for her to come to Xie Qin to discuss the opera.
She Hongzhi first looked at Zhou Jun, then at Xie Qin, and finally covered her mouth and said with a smile: "Are you getting in the way? If so, I will leave now."
Zhou Jun scratched his head. He wanted to discuss the matter with Xie Qin next, and it seemed that there would be no problem if She Hongzhi heard about it.
After thinking about this, Zhou Jun asked: "Do you two know that someone's brother is interested in Nanqu Yujun's mother and wants to marry her?"
Xie Qin and She Hongzhi both nodded.
Zhou Jun said: "Yesterday at the Qujiang Banquet, my brother told the adults in the family about this matter, but it aroused resentment and ended up breaking up on bad terms."
When the two girls heard about this, they realized that although Kitasato was glamorous on the outside, he was actually despised by the world, so they both sighed.
Zhou Jun continued: "I'm here this time. Jun has something he wants you to know and help me with."
She Hongzhi rolled her eyes and asked, "Will this help Zhou Dalang marry Yu Junniang?"
Zhou Jun nodded.
She Hongzhi said without hesitation: "Then I will take the initiative."
Zhou Jun smiled bitterly: "I haven't said what it is yet..."
She Hongzhi: "No matter who you are in Beili, as long as you get married in a glorious and honorable manner, I will give you my full support."
Zhou Jun was a little surprised when he heard this. Looking at She Hongzhi's expression, she didn't seem to be faking it.
Xie Qin said from the side: "Erlang, although there are intrigues among Beili and they refuse to admit defeat, having sisters who can get a good marriage is what everyone wants."
She Hongzhi smiled again and said: "Besides, Yu Jun is also a girl who is familiar with me, so it is reasonable to help her."
Xie Qin asked Zhou Jun: "Erlang, how can we help each other?"
Zhou Jun: "It's actually quite simple. Isn't the script version of "Butterfly Lovers" very popular in Chang'an City?"
Xie Qin and She Hongzhi nodded together.
Zhou Jun: "Beili Ji and Ke Xiujiu, as long as we talk about the story of "The Butterfly Lovers", we just need to mention the incident between my brother and Yu Junniang."
She Hongzhi was stunned: "Is that all?"
Zhou Jun: "That's just it."
Xie Qin asked worriedly: "Even so, I'm afraid it will have little effect."
Zhou Jun: "After a few days, we will know whether it is effective."
