Lord: Start with a book of Water Margin

Chapter 57 Completion of the career 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 was still talking to her mother in the back hall, Er Niang had gone to Yuzhuang, and Zhao Jin and Zhao Xiang were 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 their postures 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 thought he had nothing to do in the afternoon, so he 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, alleys, restaurants, teahouses, famous wines, delicacies, and delicious snacks are dazzling. Bai Zhi pulled Zhao Zhen and lingered.

"Guardian, the city here is really lively. Compared with it, Yuncheng County is really different."

Zhao Zhen said: "This is only the county town. I heard that the county town is ten times more lively."

The two of them strolled along the street. Regardless of the stall, 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 flock to 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 near 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 inviting him to listen to several paragraphs of storytelling today.

Back home, Zhao Jin and others had already rested, and 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.

Since Zhao Zhen learned Baduanjin, he has become accustomed to using it to move his muscles and bones. Seeing Zhao Zhen's slow movements, Zhao Jin and Zhao Xiang shook their heads, showing no intention of learning.

On the contrary, Li E saw him when he passed 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." He pulled Li E and started to teach it. .

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 moment, I will 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 quickly returned to his room and called Bai Zhi to return to the yard with him.

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 Huang thought it was something fun and followed him noisily.

Bai Zhi was not shy at all, and started teaching generously. While doing the movements, she corrected a few people and said: "Standing Baduanjin is a kind of health-preserving boxing. It is colorful, beautiful and luxurious from a distance, so it is called This is the name. The movements are stretched and have the effect of curing diseases and keeping fit. Long-term practice can promote blood circulation and stimulate menstruation, and prolong life." Bai Zhi took the exercises twice, and asked a few people to do it again. Zhao Zhen and the other three also finished the routine, and everyone The people dispersed and each gathered together 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, and beside him were two brothers, Lu Zhuocheng, Guo Kaiwen and Guo Kaiwu.

Zhao Zhen came over and as soon as he sat down, Li Tianyou said: "Come, Zhao Erlang, let me introduce to you. Lu Jiasanlang has taken up his position as a dental officer. You can contact him when you come to the county for purchasing and sales in the future."

Lu Zhuocheng cupped his hands and said, "Haha, I need more help from my brothers in the future."

Li Tianyou continued: "The Guo brothers have now taken up the profession of martial arts, entered the military camp, and are now also corps commanders." The two of them also cupped their hands.

"To say that the one 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 congratulated him. Lu Zhuocheng's eyes lit up and said, "Zhao Erlang, please take care of your brother's business in the future."

Zhao Zhen said: "It's easy to say, I wonder what kind of business Lu Dalang does."

Lu Zhuocheng said: "I'm 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'm involved in making peace, introducing business, and hiring and selling people. All brothers will help me if necessary. You can find me."

After hearing this, Zhao Zhen said: "I have something to trouble my brother about. There is a batch of wheat for sale in my farm 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 2200 Wen. The other party How does Zhao Erlang feel about paying commission?"

Zhao Zhen said: "It's fair. When will the deal be completed?"

Lu Zhuocheng said: "I can do it tomorrow."

Zhao Zhen gave the address immediately, and the two agreed to deliver the goods tomorrow.

Seeing that the business was done, several people began to chat 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 amazing and talented people in the past few years, so he specially distributed them to various schools to reward 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 exclaimed strangely: "Who knows? I heard that the scrolls are all at the county magistrate's office and will be distributed today. Have you seen Hu Jiaoyu today?"

Everyone shook their heads, and Li Tianyou said: "There cannot be too many scrolls in Chengwu County. Today, Hu Jiaoyu went to the county magistrate's office early in the morning to fight for the scrolls."
