I have a fortune book

Chapter 55
"The chief of the case is back!"

"Congratulations to Young Master Bai, you are the first in the county examination in high school, and honor my Zhou family's name!"

"Son, lean in quickly, get a taste of culture..."

As soon as he got off the carriage, Zhou Bai fell into a jubilation, all compliments and congratulations.

Rao is reincarnated as a human being, he couldn't help but sigh.

Wealth and honor do not return to one's hometown, just like traveling at night in brocade clothes!

Just a scholar?But for the township people, scholars already have the qualifications to serve as officials in the county government and county government.

A six-house official of the county government like Zhou Mingxuan can open up the relationship between the big and small in the county, so that the Zhou family's business routes have been smooth and the acres of land have continued 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 a member of the family's decision-making hierarchy.

Zhou Mingxuan was even more likely to regard Zhou Bolian as the next head of the clan because he was the first in the county examination and the top of the county examination.

"Hahaha, my Qilin'er is back, come to see the owners, clan elders, and deacons of each house." Zhou Mingxuan was very happy, and pulled Zhou Bai to introduce him to the high-level family members.

Zhou Bai is not stage fright at all, he is calm and composed, if you introduce me as your successor, then I will not delay.

After some exchanges and flattery, the high-level executives are also very friendly, but the three-bedroom homeowner, Zhou Chang, is a little embarrassed and can't hold back his face.

Taking the blessing quota from others, I thought that Zhou Bai forced the exam just because of his inner grievances, but it turned out that he didn't need the family's help at all.

Originally, Zhou Heyun won Tongsheng, and he was regarded as a hero in the clan for a while, and there is still hope for a scholar in the future.

But comparing Zhou Bai now, it's like fireflies are compared to Haoyue, the more he thinks about Zhou Chang, the angrier he gets.

"Brother Bo heard that he was robbed by a strongman on the road. It is a blessing to be able to come back safely."

"That's right, just won the first case, and the court's luck is added to him, so a mere tribulation is not worth mentioning." Zhou Chang's words were barbed, and Zhou Bai was not used to it.

Zhou Chang was stunned for a moment, and then continued: "Speaking of which, Brother Bo has just gained fame. Isn't it too urgent to recruit disciples? Don't accept everyone. Then whoever Chen Zhongbang was born in Lehu, what is this? Ask him to come here to help you." You don't even want to play music to celebrate, hum."

Zhou Bai didn't want to stir up family discord in front of his clansmen, and he didn't bother to talk to Zhou Chang anymore.

Instead, he clasped his hands to Zhou Mingxuan and said, "Patriarch, the people I recruit don't need to be supported by the family, so don't they also need to obey the orders of the family?"

"Well, of course." Zhou Mingxuan gave Zhou Chang a hard look, and smiled.

Zhou Bai got the answer, and then he cupped his hands and said to the surrounding high-level officials: "Then uncles, Bai has something to say here, I will set up an inner government to handle affairs, they are independent of the family, please don't point fingers, lest I give elders Lost face."

Zhou Mingxuan was startled, and hurriedly said: "It's all gone, it's gone, Zhou Baizhou is exhausted, so let's not have fun with everyone."

"My neighbors, the clan banquet has been prepared, as long as you come to congratulate me, you can eat and drink for free!"

While the crowd was bustling with excitement, and rich dishes were being served one after another at the flowing water banquet, Zhou Bai and Zhou Mingxuan came to the Qun Shi Hall to have a heart-to-heart chat.

There is silence inside and outside the hall, everyone can take a day off today as a special case.

"Brother Bai doesn't want to take over the family anymore? I know the family didn't give you much luck to support you, but after all, you were born and raised in the Zhou family, and the family didn't force you." Zhou Mingxuan got straight to the point, with a bit of a smile on his face. eager.

Seeing what Zhou Mingxuan wanted to say, Zhou Bai shook his head and interrupted: "Stop, patriarch, I don't mean anything. The next patriarch must be me. Others cannot lead the family to the county level."

"Then you are?" Zhou Mingxuan asked a little puzzled.

"I still have other things to do. It's all about separating public and private affairs, but I have a request." Zhou Bai also said directly.

Zhou Mingxuan breathed a sigh of relief, and said generously: "That's good, that's good, you won the fame this time, the family will reward you with 300 taels of silver, and you will also invest in the construction of a manor. You can choose the place. If you have any other requirements, just ask , as long as the family can do it."

"Since I want to take over as the patriarch, then I need your full support. The patriarch can rest assured that I will be successful in this autumn."

"Really?! Zhou Bo, you're going to end this time. Are you short of your savings? Do you still have enough luck?" Zhou Mingxuan stood up abruptly, the news was really too shocking.

However, when he saw Zhou Bai's calmness and confidence, Zhou Mingxuan realized that this was the real unicorn of his Zhou family.

After thinking it over, Zhou Mingxuan nodded again and said, "As long as you don't delay your studies, as long as you don't harm the interests of the family, you can try to take the helm now."

"I want the family to support the new policy of the county magistrate, 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 agreed to let Zhou Bai do whatever he wanted on the premise of not harming the interests of the family, and if it was obvious that he couldn't do it, he would take action to correct it.

At the same time, because of Zhou Mingxuan's cooperation, Zhou Bai followed him to the ancestral hall very obediently. The descendants turned out to be the chief case during the period when Zhou Mingxuan was in charge.

After walking out of the Qunshi Hall, Zhou Bai went to a high place to watch Qi again. Unlike before when he just learned the Qi Watching technique, this time he could see more clearly for a long time.

In Zhou Bai's eyes, the core areas such as the Hall of Qunshi and the ancestral hall faded and turned into phantoms, and a house full of rising luck stood tall.

It is still the plausible broken net covering the ancestral house, pure white mixed with red, because Zhou Bai has gained fame, it is obvious that there are more red areas.

The red and white are split in half, as if they have stopped at a critical point. Only when Zhou Baizhong lifts the red can surpass the white, then it can be called the red house.

When the red is completely covered, it is the luck of the veteran county tycoon. The core is yellow, and the yellow energy hangs around the house to protect it. That is the yellow house that only the prefect can have.

Zhou Mingxuan promised Zhou Bai to manage the family affairs, and then took him to sue his ancestors. This is handing over power.

It is reflected in the luck, that is, the family luck gathers towards him, mostly white air, and there is also a lot of red air that is precious to the villagers.

This is the first time he has felt the support of his family's luck, but unfortunately it can only be icing on the cake, and it cannot be used as a basis for him to take the provincial examination.

On the whole, although there are some internal failures that kill the luck, overall the family luck is thriving, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the village is at its peak.

As long as the family status is improved, many people who are struggling will be supplemented by luck, and they will immediately become Zhou Bai's help.

After knowing the family in his heart, Zhou Bai strode back to the familiar small courtyard. Zhou Yuan and his party stood guard at the gate of the courtyard, but there were obviously a few more than before.

Just as Zhou Yuan wanted to say hello, Zhou Bai stopped him with a smile.

He stepped briskly into the courtyard, and a few peach trees smiled wantonly against the spring breeze, and the vigorous green branches and leaves peeked out a touch of pink outside the courtyard wall.

"Forbe, I'm back."
