"The head of the case is back!"
"Congratulations, Master Bai, for ranking first in the high school county examination and making my Zhou family famous!"
"Son, come closer and enjoy the literary spirit..."
As soon as he got off the carriage, Zhou Bai fell into a state of celebration, filled with compliments and congratulations.
Rao was reincarnated as a human being, he couldn't help but sigh.
If you don't return wealth to your hometown, you will be like walking in brocade at night!
Just a scholar? But for the rural people, scholars are already qualified to serve as officials in county offices and county offices.
A county official like Zhou Mingxuan, a six-room clerk in the county government, can open up all the connections in the county, making the Zhou family's business routes smooth and their acres of land continuing to grow over the years.
Even if Zhou Bai is just a flash in the pan now and will stop being a scholar in the future, he will still be an out-and-out member of the family's decision-making team.
Zhou Mingxuan even regarded Zhou Bai as the next clan leader because he ranked first in the county examination and first in the county examination.
"Hahaha, my Qilin'er is back. Come and meet the owners, clan elders and deacons of each house." Zhou Mingxuan was very happy and pulled Zhou Bai to introduce him to the family's senior officials.
Zhou Bai has no stage fright at all and is calm and composed. If you introduce me as your successor, I will not delay.
After some friendly exchanges, the senior management were all very harmonious. However, the owner of the third-bedroom apartment was a little embarrassed and couldn't help but feel ashamed.
After receiving the quota granted by others, I thought that Zhou Bai forced the exam just because of his inner injustice, but it turned out that he didn't need the family's help at all.
Originally, Zhou He was lucky enough to be blessed with Tong Sheng, and he was regarded as a momentary hero in the clan, and there was hope for him to become a scholar in the future.
But now compared to Zhou Bai, he is like a firefly to a bright moon. The more he thinks about Zhou Chang, the angrier he becomes.
"Brother Bai heard that he was robbed by a strongman on the road. He is really lucky to be able to come back safely."
"That's right, just after being convicted of the crime, the luck of the court has increased, and it is not worth mentioning the small calamity." Zhou often spoke with thorns, and Zhou Bai was not used to it.
Zhou Chang was stunned for a moment, then continued: "Speaking of which, Brother Bai has just gained fame. Isn't he too eager to recruit followers? He will accept anyone else. Then Chen Zhongbang was born in Lehu. What does this mean? Ask him to do it. You don’t even want to play music to celebrate, huh.”
Zhou Bai didn't want to stir up family discord in front of his clan members, and he didn't bother to talk to Zhou Chang anymore.
Instead, he raised his hands to Zhou Mingxuan and said, "Clan Chief, the people I recruit do not need support from the family, does that mean they do not need to obey the orders of the family?"
"Well, of course." Zhou Mingxuan glared at Zhou Chang and smiled.
After Zhou Bai got the answer, he raised his hands to the surrounding senior officials and said: "Uncles, what Bai has to say here is that I will set up an internal government to handle affairs, and they will be independent of the family. Please don't point fingers, lest I give trouble to the elders. Losing face.”
Zhou Mingxuan was shocked and said quickly: "It's all gone, it's gone. Zhou Baizhou is tired from traveling and won't join in the fun with everyone."
"Dear fellow villagers, the family banquet has been prepared. Anyone who comes to congratulate us can eat and drink for free!"
While everyone was buzzing with excitement and rich dishes were served one after another at the flowing banquet, Zhou Bai and Zhou Mingxuan came to the Qunshi Hall to have a heart-to-heart talk.
There was silence inside and outside the hall. Everyone can take a special day off today.
"Brother Bai doesn't want to take over the family anymore? I know that the family doesn't give you much luck support, but after all, you were born in the Zhou family and grew up in the Zhou family. Besides, the family didn't force you." Zhou Mingxuan got straight to the point, with a hint of anger on his face. eager.
Seeing what Zhou Mingxuan wanted to say, Zhou Bai shook his head and interrupted: "Stop, clan leader, I don't mean anything. The next clan leader must be me. No one else can lead the family to the county level."
"Then what are you doing?" Zhou Mingxuan asked a little confused.
"I have other things to do, just separate public and private matters, but I have a request." Zhou Bai also said directly.
week Mention, as long as the family can do it."
"Since you want me to take over as the clan leader, then I need your full support. The clan leader can rest assured that I will definitely win the Qiu Wei election this time."
"Really?! Zhou Bai, you are going to end up this time. Will your savings be a little bit worse, and will you still have enough luck?" Zhou Mingxuan stood up suddenly, because this news was too shocking.
However, when he saw Zhou Bai's calmness and confidence, Zhou Mingxuan realized that this was the real Qilin child of his Zhou family. They had not believed it either as a boy student or as a scholar.
After thinking about it, Zhou Mingxuan nodded again and said: "As long as it doesn't delay your studies and doesn't harm the interests of the family, you can try to take the helm now."
"I want the family to support the county magistrate's new policy, and I have agreed to business cooperation with the Qi family in the county. The family needs to expand channels..."
In the end, Zhou Bai persuaded Zhou Mingxuan, and he promised to let Zhou Bai do whatever he wanted without harming the interests of the family, and would correct it if it was obvious that it was not working.
At the same time, because of Zhou Mingxuan's cooperation, Zhou Bai followed him to the ancestral hall very obediently. The case was brought to light by the descendants during the period when Zhou Mingxuan was in charge. This was the merit of the clan leader and he could inform his ancestors.
After walking out of the Qunshi Hall, Zhou Bai went to a high place to observe the qi again. Unlike the qi-watching technique he had just learned before, this time he could maintain it for a long time and see more clearly.
The core areas such as the Qunshi Hall and the ancestral hall faded in Zhou Bai's eyes and turned into shadows, leaving a majestic cluster of houses filled with good luck.
It was still the seemingly broken net covering the ancestral home, with pure white and red mixed in. Because Zhou Bai had achieved fame, it was obvious that there were more red areas.
Red and white are divided in half, as if they have stopped at a critical point. As long as Zhou Bai succeeds, the red will surpass the white, and then it can be called the red house.
When the red color is completely covered, it is the luck of the old county magnate. The core is yellow, and the hanging yellow aura surrounds the house to protect it. That is the yellow house that only the county magistrate has.
Zhou Mingxuan promised Zhou Bai to manage family affairs and took him to report to his ancestors. This was a handover of power.
Reflected on the luck, the luck of the clan is gathering towards him one by one, mostly white Qi, but also a lot of red Qi which is precious to the villagers.
This was the first time that he felt the support of his family's luck. Unfortunately, it was only the icing on the cake and could not be used as a basis for him to take the provincial examination.
On the whole, although there are some internal failures that weaken the family's luck, overall the family's luck is booming. It is not an exaggeration to say that the township family is at its peak.
As long as the family status is improved, many people who are in trouble will have more luck and can immediately become Zhou Bai's help.
After knowing his family well, Zhou Bai strode back to the familiar courtyard. Zhou Yuan and his party stood guard at the entrance of the courtyard, but there were obviously a few more than before.
When Zhou Yuan was about to say hello, Zhou Bai stopped him with a smile.
He stepped briskly into the courtyard. Several peach trees smiled wildly in the spring breeze, and their lush green branches and leaves peeked out a touch of pink outside the courtyard wall.
"Uncle Fu, I'm back."
