Chapter 57: Completion of business and apprenticeship 1
Let us say that Zhao Zhen resigned from Hu Jiaoyu and sent the farmer back to the village on his own, agreeing to pick him up the next day and ride home on his own.
Bai Zhi is still talking to her mother in the back hall, Er Niang has gone to Yuzhuang, Zhao Jin and Zhao Xiang are still waiting in the main hall. Seeing Zhao Zhen coming back, the two of them took Zhao Zhen to the courtyard. The three of them opened up and made some gestures.
At noon, after a simple meal, mother Li E said: "Erlang, Miss Bai hasn't visited the county town yet. You can take her around today."
Zhao Zhen wants to come in the afternoon. Nothing, just nodded in agreement.
After resting for a while, the sun set slightly, and Zhao Zhen went out with Bai Zhi. It is the slack season for farmers, and there are many mansions on both sides of the street, including mansions, shops in the front and houses in the back. There are horse-drawn carriages and horse-drawn carriages on the road, and there is a constant flow of people, galloping back and forth, with red and green flowers flying. The gongs and drums are noisy, the silver bells are ringed, and the merchants and hawkers along the road are shouting to attract business.
The streets and alleys are filled with restaurants, teahouses, famous wines, delicacies, and delicious snacks. Bai Zhi pulled Zhao Zhen and lingered.
"Official, the city here is really lively. Compared with it, Yuncheng County is really different."
Zhao Zhen said: "This is only a county town. I heard that it is a county town. It’s ten times more lively.”
The two of them strolled along the street. No matter what stall they were, they always squeezed in to take a look. When they saw something they liked, they bought a lot. Zhao Zhen didn't have anyone with him, so he hired a porter on the street to pick out the groceries, ranging from pieces of silk and satin to as small as flower earrings.
Before you know it, night falls, the whole city is brightly lit, and the streets of the night market are crowded with people, with the sounds of hawking, talking, laughing, and playing happening one after another.
Vendors also gather at the night market, where there is a dazzling array of exquisite handicrafts, sweet and delicious snacks, and various performances.
Zhao Zhen felt that his physical strength was much stronger than that of Bai Zhi. When he went shopping today, he realized that he was far behind compared to Bai Zhi when it came to shopping. I always want to find a teahouse to sit down, listen to a play, have a sip of tea and rest, but Bai Zhi is just the opposite of me, wandering around with endless energy.
Today’s trip ended just before midnight. The porter who followed him sent home a load of groceries. Zhao Zhen paid the wages. Before leaving, the porter kept thanking Zhao Zhen for listening to him for several times today. Duan Pingshu.
Back home, Zhao Jin and others had rested. Zhao Zhen and others also washed and went to bed under the service of the maid.
The next day, Zhao Zhen got up early and boxed with Zhao Jin and Zhao Xiang, practicing swords and guns.
Zhao Zhen has been accustomed to moving his muscles and bones since he learned Baduanjin. Zhao Jin and Zhao Xiang saw Zhao Zhen's slow movements and shook their heads, showing no intention to learn.
On the contrary, Li E saw him when he was passing by and asked Zhao Zhen: "Erlang, what kind of punch are you doing? It's so good." He laughed, and Zhao Jin and Zhao Xiang also laughed when they heard it. .
Zhao Zhen said: "Mom, this boxing is called Baduanjin. I learned it from Bai Zhi. Her family has been a doctor for generations. The blood-activating and body-building boxing method passed down from her ancestors. Mother can practice it if she has nothing to do." I want to teach Li E.
Li E said disgustedly: "Then it's better to let Bai Xiaoniang teach me, I'm not better than you."
Zhao Zhen said: "Mom, wait a minute, I'll call Bai Zhi. I learned it today, and you can practice it all the time in the future to keep fit and strengthen your body."
With that said, Zhao Zhen hurried back to the room and called Bai Zhi to go back with him. Go to the yard.
When the two entered the courtyard, they saw not only Li E, but also the second mother Miao Ying, the elder sister-in-law Zou Yulan, and the younger sister Zhao Huang, all dressed in bunts, waiting in the courtyard. But it was Li E who saw that Zhao Zhen really wanted to teach him martial arts and asked the two of them to accompany him. Zhao Yan thought it was something fun and followed him noisily.
Baizhi was not shy at all. She started teaching generously, correcting a few people while doing the movements, and said: "Standing Baduanjin, a type of health-preserving boxing, is colorful from a distance. It is beautiful and luxurious, so it is called this. The movements are stretching, and it has the effect of curing diseases and improving health. Long-term practice can promote blood circulation and promote menstruation, and prolong life." Bai Zhi took the practice twice, and then asked several people to practice it again, Zhao Zhen and others. After practicing the routine, everyone dispersed and each gathered a piece of food to have breakfast.
After dinner, Bai Zhi stayed at home to talk to her mother, while Zhao Zhen went to the county school to attend today's graduation ceremony.
After entering the county school, Zhao Zhen entered the school and saw Li Tianyou waving to him. There were two brothers, Lu Zhuocheng, Guo Kaiwen and Guo Kaiwu beside him.
Zhao Zhen came over and as soon as he sat down, Li Tianyou said: "Come on, Zhao Erlang, let me introduce to you. Lu Jiasanlang has taken up his position as a dental officer. You can find him when you come to the county for purchasing and sales in the future. He."
Lu Zhuocheng held up his hands and said: "Haha, I will need more help from my brothers in the future."
Li Tianyou continued: "The Guo brothers have now entered the martial arts profession and entered the military camp. Now he is also a corps commander." The two of them also bowed their hands.
"To say that the person who is doing the best now is Zhao Erlang. He has taken up the profession of manor owner and is now a mile long."
Zhao Zhen said: "Lucky, lucky." Everyone couldn't help but congratulate him. Lu Zhuocheng's eyes lit up after hearing this and said: "Zhao Erlang, you have to take care of your brother's business in the future."
Zhao Zhen said: "It's easy to say, I don't know what kind of business Lu Dalang does."< br>
Lu Zhuocheng said: "I am just a little private person now. My father is helping me find an official position. I don't know if I can get it. I am involved in making peace, introducing business, and engaging in human employment and trade. Everyone is involved in it. Brothers, please come to me if you need anything."
After hearing this, Zhao Zhen said, "I need to trouble my brother. I have a batch of wheat for sale now. I wonder if my brother is interested."
After hearing this, Lu Zhuocheng said: "Hey, I didn't expect to be able to make a deal today. There are people here who are asking to buy grain. They are all classmates. I am not lying. The price of grain is very high now. One stone of wheat is worth 2,200 Wen. The other party What does Zhao Erlang think about paying the commission? "
Zhao Zhen said: "It's fair. When will the deal be completed?"
Lu Zhuocheng said: "It can be done tomorrow."
Zhao Zhen said. Zhen immediately gave the address, and the two agreed to deliver the goods tomorrow.
Seeing that the business was done, several people started talking happily, each talking about their recent awakening experiences. Li Tianyou was the most well-informed and wanted to talk about the matter of completing his career and becoming a teacher.
"I heard that someone discovered an ancient tomb. The monarch organized an army to explore and got a batch of Shattered Illusion World scrolls. Although it is not rare for big shots, it is a rare treasure for newcomers like me. My father I also heard the county magistrate mention it in a chat with someone. It is said that the monarch felt that our country, Gao, has not produced any outstanding talents in recent years, so he specially distributed them to various schools to encourage the underachievers and cultivate talents. "
After hearing this, Zhao Zhen couldn't help but ask: "Captain Li, do you know the contents of the scroll?"
Li Tianyou shouted strangely: "Who knows? I heard that the scrolls are all at the county magistrate's office. Today Before they can be distributed, have you seen Hu Jiaoyu today?"
Everyone shook their heads, and Li Tianyou said: "There can't be too many scrolls in Chengwu County. Hu Jiaoyu went there early today? Go to the county magistrate’s office to get the scroll.”
