Wang Yuanwai sat opposite Zhou Dagu: "Why, my dear husband is already here, but my wife doesn't come out to see anyone?"
"Boy from the Zhou family, do you look down on me, Mr. Wang, or do you look down on my witness, County Lieutenant Zhang?"
Firecrackers went off outside the gate.
Another sedan landed.
A stout man who looked somewhat like Chief Zhang entered the door.
Wang Yuanwai stood up and raised his hands: "Come here, please take a seat for County Lieutenant Zhang. Please take a seat!"
The third grandfather of the Zhou family also stood up to greet him. The county captain is equivalent to the current county police chief. This is already a top-notch official position in the eyes of common people!
"I've met the county captain!"
Zhou Dagu also stood up. He was just a white man, and he was just a small figure among the county captain: "I have met the county captain!"
Who would have thought that the county lieutenant ignored Wang Yuanwai at all and went straight to Zhou Dagu: "Is this the talented man who wrote the poem "Early Spring Presents Master Zhu", Zhou Mingfu?"
Zhou Dagu nodded: "I wrote this poem, but being called Zhou Ming Mansion is a bit too flattering!"
"But Yu, the county magistrate felt ashamed after reading your poem. I heard that this poem spread to Qingxue Mansion, and even the state pastor was amazed. Although I am a rough man, I also understand that the magistrate, the state pastor Adults think good poetry is bad, how can it be bad!"
Zhou Dagu smiled, no wonder you can become a county captain, the two leaders praised you both in words and in words.
Wang Yuanwai saluted Captain Zhang again. He felt that Lieutenant Zhang was a little strange today, but he didn't know exactly what was strange!
There were many people standing in the courtyard. There had never been so many people in Zhou Wu's courtyard.
Zhou Youran sat in her room, looking at the crowd outside, holding a pair of scissors in her hand.
The door is open!
She took out the scissors and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw clearly who was coming: "Wang An, why did you come in?"
"Brother Gu is in the main room dealing with the king. I heard that all the lords from the government office are here! The servants of the Wang family are setting up in the yard. I'm afraid they will come in!" Wang An raised his head and whispered: "I'm here to protect you. !”
Zhou Youran smiled miserably: "Silly boy, you'd better protect yourself!"
Wang An, who was not even a vulgar martial artist, had always envied those heroes who traveled far and wide with their swords.
For the first time, he strongly hoped that he could be a hero, and waved the dagger in his sleeve: "I...I will protect you!"
He leaned against the door: "At least, I'm here, no one can come in through this door!"
"I promised Brother Gu!"
It was quiet inside the house, but the crowd was noisy outside.
The crowd was complex, with some worried, some laughing, some angry, and most of them just wanted the excitement to be bigger.
Zhou Dagu gave up the throne to Captain Zhang, who sat next to him with his eyes closed.
Wang Yuan was wary of Zhou Dagu Wenming and did not dare to do anything in public. He gave the person behind him a look.
The Taoist priest behind him counted with his fingers: "Executive member, the auspicious time has come, it's time to invite the bride to come out!"
Wang Yuanwai handed over to Zhou Dagu. He felt something was wrong in the atmosphere, and his attitude became much better: "Brother-in-law, it's time to invite my wife to come out!"
Zhou Dagu shook his head: "When did you promise my sister to you?"
The old housekeeper of the palace pointed at Zhou Dagu and said, "Three days ago, in this small courtyard, you and I made an agreement. Mr. Zhou, you must not break your promise as a gentleman!"
Zhou Dagu looked up at him: "What have we agreed on?"
"We have agreed that if you don't pay back our family's one hundred taels, you will have to pay for it with your wife! You..."
Zhou Dagu looked at him, raised his head and took out a piece of gold from his arms.
"Puff!" The gold nugget fell on the old table with a loud sound.
The yard fell silent instantly. It was all farmers who had seen so much gold.
The third grandfather of the Zhou family looked at Zhou Dagu and took a long breath: "Dagu! Is this real gold? Did you go and rob it these days?"
"Third Grandpa, you have been a bookkeeper. Are you sure it is true or false? You still don't know if you keep looking carefully?"
Zhang Xianwei nodded: "I can guarantee the authenticity of the gold. This is the prize that the county magistrate gave to Zhou Ming's Mansion at the early spring poetry meeting. How could it be fake!"
The third grandfather of the Zhou family had no doubt in his mind that he still picked up the gold in front of everyone and looked at it carefully. After all, the opportunity to see such a big gold at such a close distance in a lifetime is rare!
Wang Yuan saw that his advantage was no longer there. He quickly stood up and smiled and handed over his hands: "Hahaha! Just kidding, one hundred taels is a matter of one hundred taels!"
"This one hundred taels is just a gift for my roommate and me. Even if you return the gift to me, I will not agree to cancel this engagement. After all, I have liked my roommate for a long time!"
Zhou Dagu looked up and was confused: "Engagement?"
"My father died in my arms without even telling me about the engagement. He even asked me to find a good family for my girl!"
"Now in our family, I am the brother and the father. Why don't I know about the engagement?"
Wang Yuanwai pointed at the third grandfather of the Zhou family: "The engagement was made between me and your elders. Brother-in-law, you are younger, have not yet reached the age of 18, and have not yet started a family!"
"I have agreed with your clan leaders to make this matchmaking appointment, and you don't need to agree to it!"
"This is an old etiquette. Do you want to violate Confucian etiquette?"
Zhou Dagu put his hands together, stood up and picked up the books on the table that he had not had time to put away: "Who did you make a deal with?"
Wang Yuanwai pointed at the third grandfather of the Zhou family: "He! You, the head of the Zhou clan!"
"Old Patriarch, do you think our engagement counts? The Zhou family I have led is not a weak one. You must think clearly and don't speak out of confusion!"
Zhou Dagu took a step back without speaking, closed the book in his hand, and wrote "Guide to the Children's Examination"!
This is not the key, the key is the signature of the book, Zhu Yushu.
Who is Zhu Yushu? There are few people who know this clearly, but the third grandfather of the Zhou family is one of them. This is Master Zhu’s real name!
He looked at Yuan Wang and was a little afraid to speak, but he remembered the promise Zhou Dagu had made to him.
Number One Scholar Village?
His mouth watered, and he couldn't touch gold and silver when he was old, but fame was his lifelong pursuit.
The most important thing is that after listening to the county captain's wishes, Zhou Dagu actually wrote a poem about Mingfu!
Mingfu Village sounds great too!
If Da Gu is asked to carve Mingfu poems at the entrance of the village, whoever passes by will not know the name of Mingfu Village, and who will not know that under his leadership, the Zhou family clan, which was originally a rough warrior, actually gave birth to a Zhou Mingfu ?
His fear is real, but the desire in his heart at this moment is also real!
Wang Yuanwai saw that the old boy was too lost in thought to speak, so he asked anxiously: "Old man of the Zhou clan! You have to think about the future generations of the Zhou family!"
The third grandfather of the Zhou family’s eyes widened, he heard these words in his heart!
yes! He has to think about the future generations of the Zhou family!
"No!"
Wang Yuan asked outside: "What's wrong?"
"I never agreed to Youran's marriage!"
"you wanna die!"
The third grandfather of the Zhou family smiled. If he is going to die now, isn’t that going to leave a name for Qianqiu?
An old patriarch who died to protect the Zhou family's heritage.
He took a step forward and raised his head: "No, it means no. As the elder of the Zhou family, I will naturally protect the Zhou family. Don't think that you can seduce me with benefits or force me with force!"
He stood in front of Zhou Dagu: "My life is worthless, but the life of my son, the son of the Zhou family, cannot be measured in money. If you want to touch the son of the Zhou family, touch me first!"
Zhang Xianwei looked in disbelief. He said hello to the third grandfather of the Zhou family. He was not a flatterer before. When did he become so brave?
Zhou Dagu was also confused, the third grandfather scene was a bit too much!
Only the third grandfather standing in the middle of the hall raised his head, with tears in his eyes: "I tell you, if you kill me, there are thousands of Zhou family members!"
He was so arrogant that he only waited for the king to take action so that he could leave his name forever. In the future, the greater Zhou Dagu's reputation, the greater his reputation would be.
Outside the door, many of the Zhou family members looked at the old patriarch and their eyes turned red unconsciously. However, facing the back of the king, no one dared to speak.
Wang Yuanwai moved his chair and took a step back: "I...when did I say I wanted to kill you!"
The third grandfather of the Zhou family sat down with some disappointment: "No killing!"
"Today is my happy day, how could I ruin the joy by seeing myself in the red?"
Zhou Dagu stood in the hall, his thin body upright like a spear: "You still want to marry my sister without a marriage contract?"
Wang Yuanwai nodded: "The land in Zhoujia Village belongs to my Wang family. If I don't want others to farm it, it's just a matter of my words!"
"Last year there was a disaster, this year there is heavy snow, and the malt is in full bloom, I think we should have a good harvest!"
"I originally wanted to plant this land myself, but I thought I was going to get married to Youran, so I rented the land to you people from Zhoujia Village just for the sake of happiness!"
"Since the engagement failed, I will take back the land. I don't know how much food your Zhoujia Village will have after the disaster years?"
As soon as these words came out, the whole place fell into silence.
The king was so cruel that he even used the lives of a whole village to suppress Zhou Dagu!
If Zhou Dagu didn't care, the literary reputation he had just accumulated would disappear in an instant!
Looking at the fearful eyes of the people from Zhoujiacun outside the door, Zhou Dagu smiled and sat comfortably on the chair: "You are really the wrong person to threaten me with this!"
