"Pfft~" Zhuan'er heard this, although she tried her best to suppress her laughter, but failed in the end, she covered her mouth and turned her back, shrugging her shoulders while laughing.In contrast, Zhou Zhong had a gloomy expression on his face. Children's tastes are really not ordinary heavy.

While the three brothers and sisters were happily chatting, Steward Xu brought Zhou Zhong breakfast on a tray.It just so happened that Zhou Zhong also wanted Steward Xu to read the first chapter of Journey to the West, but before he could open his mouth, Steward Xu said with a troubled face: "Master, I found that Mrs. Wu Tu has a problem with her character, we still have to find a way Get him out of here!"

"There is a problem, what's the problem?" Zhou Zhong took the breakfast from Butler Xu and asked with doubts on his face.

"Master, you don't know, we left a lot of rice last night. I wanted to make porridge this morning, but it disappeared when I got up this morning. There is no one else in the house except Butcher Wu. He must have eaten it. Originally, I ate it and ate it, and it was fine for him to talk to me, but I saw him come out of the stall this morning, but he didn't mention it at all, this kind of person..."

"Hehe, Steward Xu, you blamed Butcher Wu by mistake!" Before Steward Xu finished speaking, Zhou Zhong understood what was going on, and interrupted him with a smile, "I took the leftovers from yesterday. It's none of Butcher Wu's business."

"You... You took it?" Butler Xu was a little bit disbelieving.

"I took it. As for what you are doing, don't ask." Zhou Zhong said with a smile. People like Zhao Er's reputation is too bad, so he doesn't want bracelets and the others to know that he has contacts with him.

Hearing that Zhou Zhong was unwilling to explain, Steward Xu stopped asking. Next, Zhou Zhong happily handed over the manuscript of the first chapter of Journey to the West to Butler Song. After reading it, the other party was also full of praise, but The content of this first round is too little, and there are not many plots that can be seen, so it is better to have more content.

Seeing Journey to the West, Zhuan Er and Steward Xu praised him, which made Zhou Zhong more confident. After breakfast, he immediately cheered up and began to write Journey to the West silently.Compared with the loneliness last night, Zhuanger volunteered to help grind the ink this time, which greatly increased Zhou Chong's writing speed, and he wrote it again in the morning.

However, while Zhou Zhong was writing his book behind closed doors, the news about his conflict with Second Young Master Song at Fengyou Teahouse yesterday finally spread.Speaking of which, in ancient society, there were no media such as newspapers and the Internet for information transmission, and almost all news was passed on by word of mouth. Among them, places like teahouses where idlers gather were one of the hubs for information exchange, so it was only one night. In a short time, the entire Songjiang Mansion almost knew what happened yesterday.

Zhou Zhong was admitted as a scholar at the age of 14, plus Zhou’s family used to be a well-known rich man in Songjiang Mansion, so Zhou Zhong’s reputation in Songjiang Mansion is also great. Some time ago, Zhou Mansion went bankrupt, which made Zhou Zhong a topic of discussion in Songjiang Mansion In the center, there are those who regret and sympathize, and of course there are many people who gloat and watch the excitement.

Originally, with the passage of time, everyone's enthusiasm for gossip about the Zhou Mansion has gradually diminished, especially in the past two days, few people have talked about the Zhou Mansion anymore, but with Zhou Zhong and Song Er at Fengyou Teahouse yesterday The news of the son's conflict spread, and immediately made Zhou Zhong the focus of discussion in the entire Songjiang Mansion again. Many idlers gathered together. If someone didn't know what happened in Fengyou Teahouse yesterday, they would be ashamed to speak up.

In a large restaurant called 'Pinxianglou' in the north of Songjiang City, it was lunch time, so the entire lobby of the restaurant was full of people.Pinxianglou is one of the top three restaurants in Songjiang Prefecture. People who can eat here can’t be said to be either rich or expensive, but at least they have a small fortune. The characteristics of this kind of people are that they have money and leisure. Listening to opera and singing outside brothels, the biggest pastime is to chat about new things you hear.

"I drank 70 taels of tea in one meal. Mr. Zhou did a great job this time. The Song family who suffered from the plague should die!" No need to ask, the person who said this must be someone who has a grudge against the Song family .

"Zhou Zhong is also a scholar after all, and it's a disgrace to the Song family to cheat the Song family with such lowly means!" An old pedant who didn't like Zhou Zhong expressed his anger on his face. View.

"Second Young Master Song and Young Master Zhou's younger sister are already engaged. Even if they have a bad relationship, they shouldn't be tearing their skins apart in public, right?" A wise man raised his own question.

"You guys don't know about that. I heard that when Young Master Zhou and Second Young Master Song clashed, there was a beautiful girl at the scene. I heard that the reason why they clashed was because of this girl. Do you know who this girl is?" This is a gossip-spirited man selling his guessed 'facts' to friends around him.

"Bah, you're all talking nonsense, let me tell you the truth..."

Every wine table in the hall was discussing what happened yesterday at Fengyou Tea House. Everyone had their own opinions. One said that Zhou Chong was right, another said that the Song family was the victim, and there were even many people. Breaking the so-called "truth", although most of these truths are far from the truth, as long as the people at the wine table love to listen, the whistleblower has achieved his goal and is intoxicated by the spirit of being noticed by everyone I can't extricate myself from the pleasure.

Compared with the noise in the lobby downstairs, the private room on the second floor is much quieter. The status of the guests in the private room is generally higher than that of the downstairs guests, so naturally they have to consider their own status when speaking, so even they are very concerned about the situation around them. Focus on the conflict with the Song family, but at most it is discussed in a low voice in each private room, and rarely yells like downstairs.

In one of the private rooms named Lanting Pavilion, three young scholars dressed as scholars sat facing each other. The leader was a man wearing a Confucian scarf and a blue blouse. Frowning tightly, he asked the two people around him helplessly: "Both brothers, I never believe that Wenda is the kind of lowly person who steals people's money!"

Wenda is Zhou Zhong's word, and generally close friends and acquaintances are commensurate with each other.

"Hey, brother Zheng, so what if you don't believe it, the facts are in front of you now, as the saying goes, Zhou Zhong is no longer the Zhou Zhong we know, for the daughter of the Xie family in Huating, he used such a The method used to deceive the second son of the Song Dynasty was 70 taels of silver, and so many people saw it with their own eyes at the time, so could it be that this matter is still fake?" The young scholar on the left who is tall and thin, but with extremely fair skin asked back with a sneer road.

The scholar surnamed Zheng in the middle frowned even more when he heard the tall and thin scholar's words, and said with a displeased face: "Brother Liu, although Brother Zhou usually has many disputes with you, but that's just the difference between a gentleman and an academic. After all, we are good friends who have known each other for many years, but now you slander Brother Zhou behind your back, is it a gentleman's action?"

The scholar known as Zhou brother heard the ridicule of the scholar Zheng, and his expression changed immediately. He was about to fight back, but the young scholar opposite him had a naturally smiling face, which made people feel very kind But he began to persuade: "You two dear friends, don't quarrel. Everyone should value harmony. In addition, Brother Zheng's words are good. No matter what you say, Brother Zhou is our close friend. You can't talk about him behind his back like this!"

Seeing that the smiling scholar opposite him was also standing on Zhou Zhong's side, the tall and thin scholar surnamed Liu finally stopped arguing with the scholar surnamed Zheng, and he sat down angrily and said, "Okay, everything has its own conclusion. , besides, brother Li has already gone out to inquire about the news, when he comes back, it will be clear who is right and who is wrong."

Seeing the scholar surnamed Liu sitting down, the scholar surnamed Zheng and the smiling-faced scholar looked at each other, and finally they both shook their heads and sat down. After that, the three of them did not speak, and the atmosphere in the private room was a bit heavy for a while.

It can also be guessed from the conversations of these three people that these three people were all close friends of Zhou Zhong before, and the scholar surnamed Zheng sitting in the middle was named Zheng Jing and his style name was Minglun.The tall and thin scholar surnamed Liu who argued with him was named Liu Chong, whose name was Changshan.The smiling face scholar who finally persuaded him was named Zhang Mingkuang, and his style name was alchemist.There is also a scholar who went out to inquire about news, his surname is Li Mingzheng, and his style name is Shrike.

Zheng Jing and Liu Chong, like Zhou Zhong, are all local scholars in Songjiang, and they have known each other for many years. In the past, they often recited poems and drank together. Now they are all students in the government school, and they will meet to take the provincial examination a year later, but no one thought that Zhou Zhong's family would encounter such a drastic change.

The atmosphere in the private room was quickly broken. A very young scholar broke in panting heavily. As soon as he entered, he picked up the tea bowl on the table and drank it in one gulp. Then he took a few breaths and said: "I've made it clear. I don't blame Wenda for this matter. If it were me, I'm afraid I would have gone up and beat up that bastard of the Song family."

It was naturally Li Zheng and Li Boluo who came in. He was about the same age as Zhou Zhong, wearing a blue shirt, with big ears and a face full of blessings.In fact, among the five, Zheng Jing is the oldest, Zhou Zhong is the youngest, and Li Zheng is half a year older than Zhou. It may be because of this that the friendship between the two is also the most irreversible.After hearing what happened to Zhou Zhong, Li Zheng was also the most concerned, and volunteered to go out to find out the news.

Hearing Li Zheng's words, both Zheng Jing and Zhang Kuang's eyes lit up, and Zheng Jing said impatiently: "Srike, tell me the ins and outs of this matter quickly, why did Wenda get along with the Song family?" Conflict?"

But at this time, Liu Chong, who was at odds with Zhou Zhong, said in a strange way: "Brother Shrike, I know that you and Zhou Zhong have the best friendship, but we scholars are upright, so you must not take those rumors from the streets and alleys as an excuse." Fool us!"

Although Li Zheng is a scholar, he has a fiery temper. Like Zhou Zhong, he has always disliked the bitter and mean Liu Chong. Now when he heard that he doubted his character, he pointed at Liu Chong angrily and reprimanded: "My surname is Liu! Yes, Wenda and I were unwilling to argue with you in the past because we have known each other for many years. Now that Wenda is in trouble for the time being, not only do you not miss the old relationship, but you also gossip behind your back. A character like this, It really makes Li disdain, if you don't want to listen, get out now!"
