Idle courtiers

Chapter 97
After being kicked out by Sister Su, for some reason, Zhou Nan was annoyed: This woman will almost drive me to death in the future.Now don't say a penny, and suddenly turn your face, isn't this crazy?

It was hot and there was no snow.

The grass looks far away but there is nothing nearby, and the air is full of the faint smell of plant sprouts.

Happy New Year, Happy New Year!

Back home, Zhou Nan was in high spirits, spread out the red paper, and wrote with a brush: "The sky increases, the sun, the moon, and people increase their life, and spring is full of heaven and earth, and happiness is full."

Said: "Lady, put the Spring Festival couplets on."

In the end, I, Zhou Nan, am a vulgar person with a lot of money, sex and wealth. Cherishing the people in front of me and living a good life is the only way to be serious. Let's just be vulgar to the end!

"Mr. Zhou, is Mr. Zhou there?" Someone shouted outside the courtyard.

Looking intently, it was Jin Steward of Mei Mansion.He was holding a big red post in his hand, followed by a boy carrying a gift box.

Zhou Nan walked out and opened the courtyard door, and said with a smile, "Butler Jin, why are you here today?"

Butler Jin handed the post to Zhou Nan, cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Thank you, Mr. Zhou, for avenging my eldest son's blood. Didn't my third son get the fame of a scholar? Today, my master hosted a banquet in the mansion for Zhou Xianggong and his family. The master said, I want to thank you in person, and I would like to invite Zhou Xianggong and Mrs. Zhou to honor me."

Mei Pu had been selected as a scholar long before, and the Mei family held a banquet to celebrate as usual.However, the banquet was held in Huai'an City, not Anton.This is also understandable, since you are a scholar, shouldn't you thank the teacher, Xuezheng, and master.In addition, it is also necessary to get acquainted with the new Chinese-style students in various counties in the prefecture. This is a lifetime network resource.

In addition, after Mei Pu was selected as a scholar, the Mei family also planned to send him to a government school, and the relationship between the upper and lower levels needed to be taken care of.

Because the Mei family lived in Huai'an City some time ago, and they only came back to worship their ancestors at the end of the year.

So far, the old grievances of the two families have disappeared.As a former family friend, Zhou Nan was naturally willing to reconcile with Mei Kang, a local tyrant, so he accepted the post, packed up with Yunniang and Xiaolan, and hired three more sedan chairs to go to Zhou's house.

Sister Su was burned, and the 300 taels of silver did not need to be spent.Now, Zhou Nan feels that in the Ming Dynasty where prices are so low, the money on hand is almost impossible to spend, so he doesn't mind a little extravagance.

The dinner party had already been set up, since it was a family banquet and there were no outsiders, two tables were set up in the inner house and the outer house.

The inner house is Mei Kang's old wife, Miss Mei Er, Yun Niang and Xiao Lan.There are only two father and son, Zhou Nan and Mei Kang Meipu, in the outer house.

After drinking for three rounds, the polite words are over.Zhou Nan had an idea, and said with a smile: "Mr. Mei, the case in the past was a misunderstanding in the final analysis, and it was finally solved today. The third son has also won the fame of a scholar, and the two of us will really have more contacts in the future. You I probably know that I will soon regain my reputation as a scholar, and I will not be able to continue my job in the yamen, and I will have a hard time thinking about my livelihood in the future."

"Mr. Mei has been in business for many years. How about we partner up and do something?"

Mei Kang is also generous: "First, my eldest son got revenge for his vengeance, and then the third youngest got the fame of a scholar because of you. My old Mei family misses your kindness. The old man has nothing else. We are familiar with each other, and we should cooperate with each other in the future. However, I don't know if I should say something or not."

Zhou Nan: "Outsiders, please tell me."

Mei Yuanwai: "Everything is inferior, only reading is high. You were the number one talented person in our county back then, how could you be willing to degenerate and go into business? If I were you, I would be a juren and a Jinshi. A real man can only be an official. Haha, Zimu, it’s hard to say that you will be in the same year as me, Puer, in the next provincial examination, fate, what a fate!"

After finishing speaking, he yelled at Mei Pu again: "Little bastard, I must be aware of what is going on with this scholar among you. In the future, you must study hard and ask Zimu for advice. Don't let Zimu become a Jinshi." Well, you are still a sour scholar. If you fail in the next round, I will discount your legs."

Hearing his father's scolding, Mei Pu's expression was aggrieved and fearful.

Zhou Nan smiled and thought: Forget about the imperial examination, I don’t know who I am, if I go for the exam, I’ll be making a fool of myself.It is more important to cooperate with the Mei family to make a fortune.

Just as he was about to continue discussing with Mei Kang about what business to make money in the future, he suddenly remembered what he said just now, and his heart skipped a beat, and he said: "Mr. Mei, you are being polite, Xuanzhen is a thief and absconded in fear of crime, even though the government has issued a arrest warrant. But the sea of ​​people is vast, but where can I find it? It is also my nephew who is not doing his job well. If I knew this, I should have sent someone to keep an eye on him that day, so as to create a great hatred. Brother Mei's revenge has not been reported until now. It was my fault."

Mei Kang smiled: "That's right, that thief is too cunning. On the day you came to find Chi'er, my little girl went to Huai'an City overnight to talk about it. The old man immediately gathered all the troops and went down the river, only using one It took a long time to arrive at the Taoist temple. It is a pity that the Taoist priest escaped. However, you don’t have to be upset. According to the old man, the wicked have their own rewards. Maybe the thief’s conscience will find out and run to my Ada in person How about kneeling in front of his tomb to apologize, and cutting open his chest, taking out his heart and liver to pay homage to his spirit in heaven?"

"Ah!" Hearing this, Zhou Nan was startled, his hand trembled, and the wine glass fell to the ground.

If you guessed correctly, after digging up the grave of Mr. Mei that day, Miss Mei went to Huai'an City overnight to report to Mr. Mei.

Mei Kang's mobility is also amazing, and that night he took his men back to Anton by boat, captured Xuan Zhen and brought him to the grave of Prince Mei for a life sacrifice/
When Mei Kang said this, his face was full of revenge: "Zimu, why did you drop your wine glass?"

Zhou Nan smiled wryly: "I just think that Taoist Xuanzhen is really a master of Taoism. He even went to Brother Mei's grave to plead guilty. Zhou Nan can probably figure out why he did this." A layer of cold sweat broke out, if he hadn't been protected by a yamen servant, and Mei Kang didn't want to offend the county yamen and cause trouble for the Mei family.It's hard to say that I am the end of that Taoist Xuanzhen, terrible, terrible!
Member Mei: "What is the reason?"

Zhou Nan: "Once a cultivator has the Tao, he can probably guess his own death date. Moreover, practice is against the heavens, and he will be punished by the heavens. Ordinary people die, and their souls will be reincarnated as human beings. Once a practitioner cannot live forever , the soul is going to be completely annihilated and dissipated. Xuanzhen probably also knew that his time was approaching, so he deliberately went to the tomb of Prince Mei to disarm him, hoping to keep his three souls and six souls from being annihilated, so that he could be reincarnated and start a new life. This Xuanzhen , it’s really interesting and tasteful.”

He didn't say a single word, "Mr. Mei, you are amazing in action, and you can kill Xuanzhen with fun and taste!"

Mei Yuanwai laughed loudly: "So it turns out that Zhou Xianggong is very knowledgeable. Interesting, interesting. I hope that old bastard Xuanzhen can be a good man after reincarnation. However, with the sins he committed, it is impossible to be a man in the next life." , It is estimated that it will become a pig dog."
