Chapter 30 Meeting
A mansion.
Qiuxiang was instructing the servants to clean the two stone lion and animal-faced gates at the door. She saw that the people working were very diligent, so she gathered her skirt and crossed the steps and went inside.
Zhou Ming's hand behind his back was holding a scroll, and the other hand was in front of him. He was wrapped in brocade clothes and looked lost in thought.
Not far away, a piece of air-conditioning was like frost, hanging upside down in the frozen rockery pool. The sparkling cold light condensed like a mirror, reflecting the open book in his hand, with names written on it. Sparse.
Qiuxiang came over and couldn't help but said: "Sir, Young Master Qing may be back in a while, so go and wait in the house."
Now it's cold and freezing, and there are feet of snow, and the root of Zhou Ming's illness has not been eliminated. Sometimes I am even weaker than ordinary people, and I suffer from the cold.
Zhou Ming's face has always been pale because of his serious illness, but now he is so happy. He is in high spirits during happy events, and his face is actually slightly rosy. He held the scroll and said cheerfully: "It's fast. I’m back, don’t be in a hurry, don’t be in a hurry.”
Qiuxiang also knew her master’s temperament, so she didn’t try to persuade him any more, so she had to put another thick cotton coat on him. At the same time, she also prayed in her heart: I hope Young Master Qing can come back soon.
As if Zhou Qing really heard it, soon, footsteps sounded from outside. Zhou Qing came in on the steps. The jade pendant on his belt moved slightly, and there was a slight jade sound. Sound becomes rhyme.
"Uncle, why did you come out again?"
Zhou Qing, who had just come in, saw Zhou Ming and complained while helping him back to a teahouse in Xiangyang.
This tea room has a large stove burning fire, and the warmth is like clouds and smoke, permeating all around. Several large windows that reflect the sun, the sunlight comes in, and shines on the wooden floor. There is actually a Plant the brightness and warmth of spring.
Qiu Xiang lifted her skirt to make tea, while Zhou Ming and Zhou Qing sat down by the window and talked to each other.
Zhou Qing said: "As soon as Lingyun Palace passed the big test in the clan, the other Qingyun Garden stewards were ready. I only walked around once and passed."
It's really thanks to Qingyun Yuan's efforts, otherwise, he would definitely be able to pass, but if Zhou Luoyun's power causes trouble, it will definitely delay time.
The matter of the big exam in the clan was settled, and he talked about what he was doing recently: "I met the people from Luoshanju today, and they didn't make a clear statement."
"Yeah."
Zhou Ming unfolded the scroll, made a note on it, and then drew a circle before saying, "It is rare to have so many people willing to support you."
This In a word, he said it from the heart.
The names on the scroll are all people with certain influence on the Zhou family in Hengnan. They are willing to support Zhou Qing in going to the Jingchen Dharma Assembly. On the one hand, they want to form a good relationship; on the other hand, and the most important reason is that Zhou Qing showed unparalleled qualifications in Lingyun Palace this time.
Nine points of Immortal Bones and a first-grade vision. Such qualifications only appear once every few hundred years in the Hengnan Zhou family. If a clan member with such qualifications does not attend the Jingchen Dharma Assembly, many people will have something to say.
The Hengnan Zhou family is a family that has been passed down for thousands of years. Even if it is corrupt and dirty, many people still have a "ruler" in their hearts. They use this "ruler" to measure themselves, others, and family rules.
Qiuxiang came over at this time. She first took out the tea leaves from the exquisite tea can and put it into the tea cup. Then she held the copper pot in one hand and bent slightly. The boiling water shot out straight from the spout of the crane's beak. The line just falls into the new white porcelain tea cup.
Just listen to a soft sound, the tea leaves have been tumbling in the hot water, and the buds and leaves are unfolding with the aroma, green and bright, Shanshan lovely.
Zhou Qing raised his hand to take one and held it in his hand. He did not drink it immediately, but felt the warmth coming from the tea cup. After thinking for a while, he said: "Uncle, with the support of these people, I can get one to participate in Jingchen." The quota for the Dharma conference is very likely.”
It’s very possible, that is to say, there are still surprises. Zhou Ming understood the meaning of the words. Reflecting on the sunlight coming in from the glass window, which was mottled like fluttering golden patterns, he sighed and said: "Your identity is a problem."
< br>Zhou Qing has followed him back to the Hengnan Zhou family since he was a child. In the past, he almost enjoyed the normal treatment as a descendant of the Hengnan Zhou family. But when it comes to such a major event related to the clan, Zhou Qing's identity will definitely be singled out, and the difference between internal and external must be made.
Otherwise, with Zhou Qing’s amazing qualifications, he will definitely lock in a spot and no one can compete with him. Zhou Qing saw the worry on his uncle's face. He turned the tea cup as white as frost and snow in his hand. The tea leaves were completely spread out. The aroma of tea did not have any smoke and smoke, so he said: "Uncle, In the Lingyun Palace, the people in the clan saw the Nine-Point Immortal Bone, and they supported me more because the Nine-Point Immortal Bone has such a great reputation.”
Speaking of this, the sharp look in Zhou Qing's eyes flashed away, and he said: "But for the entire Hengnan Zhou clan, I rose too late after all, and I am not as good as the geniuses who have emerged early in other clans."< br>
“Find an opportunity to win over those who are hesitant.”
After hearing this, Zhou Ming looked up, smiled, and said: “This is a chain of events. Quick. Since you have an idea, do it."
There was a sense of relief in the words.
The young man, who is less than fifteen years old, no longer needs the protection of his own wings, and begins to soar high into the sky.
"Waiting for news."
Zhou Qing said, he shook the tea cup and saw that the tea had been completely brewed. The tea leaves sank vertically to the bottom of the cup, with distinct roots, like fresh bamboo shoots breaking through the ground, and the leaves were dark green. , the buds were light and water-colored, integrated into one body, and the fragrance was immersive, he said: "Uncle, drink tea."
Zhou Ming picked up the tea cup and took a sip. The fragrance of tea flowed between his teeth. He squinted his eyes and felt a kind of tea. Satisfied.
After drinking tea, Zhou Qing asked Qiuxiang to help his uncle to rest. He sat alone in the tea room, with a halo of light on the wooden floor. Instead of the golden color at noon, there was a faint dark color.
Generally speaking, the accumulation of fame and prestige requires time. But now that the Jingchen Dharma Conference is approaching, the Hengnan Zhou family must use some means to decide on the list of participants.
He sat like this, thinking about things, and before he knew it, it was night. At this time, a servant came in from outside and reported: "Master Qing, someone is coming from Qingyun Garden and wants to see you."
"Here he is."
When Zhou Qing heard this, his eyes A ball of silver light burst out, he stood up, left the tea room, and strode outside.
It’s late at night.
On the tall buildings near the water, unicorn-faced jade lanterns are lit, illuminating the surroundings with a sense of daylight.
Zhou Kewen stood in front of the window. The window behind him was wide open, and the white frost fell into the lake. There was a mixture of watery light and coldness.
He had thick eyebrows like a knife and looked at Zhou Luoyun who was talking to someone in the center. The other person was wearing a golden crown and a fine brocade robe. There was a faint smile on his handsome face. His eyes moved and he The sister next to me whispered, "You are approachable. This is the first time I have seen him."
The word "approachable" is a bit ironic.
Zhou Luoyun is very prominent among the younger generation, so most of the time, he looks "upward" and has a touch of "dictating" to his peers.
It is very rare to show kindness like this to peers in the clan.
Her sister had a bun on her head, with jade-colored gourd leaves covering it. She looked cute and well-behaved. She first glared at her brother to tell him not to talk nonsense, and then whispered: "Zhou Qing has been talking recently. As he walked around the clan, many people praised him. He was so popular that Brother Luoyun might be a little bit restless. "
"I heard that Zhou Qing and Zhou Luoyun have conflicts?" Zhou Kewen. He has thick eyebrows and big eyes, but he has a heart for gossip. His eyes flashed and he said: "It's a pity that no one invited Zhou Qing to this small gathering, otherwise it would have been lively."
"Look at the excitement. "It's not too big a deal."
The girl from Calabash Leaf rolled her eyes at this unreliable brother. She turned her head and just saw the cold light coming in from the door. A young man came over with a handsome face and quiet eyes. She couldn't help but feel excited. He murmured: "It seems, it seems, it seems Zhou Qing is really here?"
