"My Zhou family will settle the accounts today!"

In a restaurant in Chang'an, a middle-aged man with a big belly waved his hand boldly and shouted:

"As you may know, my son Zhou Tong was ranked second in the high school scholar exam today!"

The person who spoke was none other than Zhou Tong's father.

In the past few years, I have let my son follow Yan Kai. At first, I only knew that this boy made a lot of money.

Especially since the dividends sent home this year are said to be his, they are already more than their Zhou family's annual income.

This time he came directly to Chang'an and had no way to stop in Luoyang, so Mr. Zhou took his wife directly to Chang'an to see his son.

At that time, his son said that Yan Kai signed him up for Chunwei, but the two of them didn't take it seriously.

I just thought that with my son's material, it would be good to go to Chunwei to see the world.

By then, whether they are taking the exam or invigilating the exam, there will definitely be important officials in the court.

You can also become familiar with it.

They didn't expect Zhou Tong to get a good ranking.

So when the rankings were released today, neither of them went to see them.

It was Zhou Tong himself who came to the inn to inform the two people that he had come second in the exam.

At first, Mr. Zhou asked whether it was counting down or up.

It wasn't until more and more people came to congratulate him that he was sure it was true.

So he had to drag Yan Kai and the others to a nearby restaurant to treat them.

It wasn't enough to just invite Yan Kai and the others, so he simply announced that he would invite the entire restaurant today.

"Dad, this is Chang'an, things are not cheap!" Zhou Tong said with some heartache.

The main reason is that this restaurant also sells fried peanuts, and any child in Kuoding County might have two handfuls of them in his pocket.

But in Chang'an, it's really not cheap!

The Wuliang Shaochun sold in this restaurant is also produced in Kuoding County.

The fruit dessert looked like it was canned from Kuoding County.

There were also dried fish and shrimp crackers to accompany the wine. He could tell by the smell which factory in the county they were produced.

The prices here are almost two or three times more expensive than the factory price. Do you think he can avoid being heartbroken?

"It's okay!" Mr. Zhou poured a bowl of five grains to cook the spring as soon as he came. At this moment, he was just drunk. He directly patted Zhou Tong and said: "Our family has saved all the money to send you home... I’ll give you a wife, let’s use it today!”

Well, the treat was still spent with his own money, Zhou Tong only felt his heart hurt even more.

But looking at dad's happy look, he finally sighed.

Walking to Zheng Zhixun's side, he asked a little strangely: "Senior brother, you won the first place, why are you not very interested?"

Zheng Zhixun shook his head and said: "These are things that Mr. has taught you a long time ago. I just passed the test today."

"Yes!" Zhou Tong nodded.

In the eyes of the two of them, if Yan Kai taught these things, it would be fine if they did not test what Yan Kai had taught.

Since they have been taught, it is abnormal for them not to get first or second place.

At this time, a middle-aged man walked into the restaurant, it was Zheng Buqi.

He had approached Zheng Zhixun several times before, but was rejected by Zheng Zhixun because he was about to get married soon.

Today I found out that the Zhou family is celebrating here, and I actually met Zheng Zhixun when I came over.

The two have not seen each other for several years, and Zheng Buqi has long lost the power he had in the past in front of Zheng Zhixun.

Looking at his calm and strange son, he walked over, but he didn't know what to say.

"Brother, here we come!" Yan Kai asked with a smile, holding up a drink: "Two drinks?"

"Okay!" Zheng Buqi didn't use a cup, but took a wine bowl and drank three bowls in a row. After finally standing on the table, he said to Zheng Zhixun: "Come in, dad has a few words for you!"

Zheng Zhixun looked at Yan Kai immediately, and when he saw Yan Kai nodding, he nodded accordingly.

Then the father and son entered an empty private room at the back.

Zheng Buqi sat down, took a few sips of tea, and then calmed down and said, "Zhixun, I am your father!"

Zheng Zhixun looked at him, nodded and said, "Yes!"

"Then why did you..." Zheng Buqi was about to say more, but was interrupted by Zheng Zhixun.

"Dad, since you are my father, you should know that Mr. Yan is my husband. Why did you detain me at home and then bring him to Chang'an?"

Even if Yan Kai didn't tell what happened back then, with Zheng Zhixun's astuteness, how could he not see the key behind it?

Just this sentence stopped Zheng Buqi from questioning.

"Hi!" Zheng Buqi sighed: "There is no need to talk about what happened back then. Now the government wants you to be the Minister of Civil Affairs. What do you think?"

After speaking, he looked at Zheng Zhixun intently.

Of course he still had some connections during his years in court.

Although Zheng Zhixun didn't know what kind of test paper he handed in for today's exam.

However, there are still rumors that after the end of the spring period, Zheng Buqi will directly enter the Ministry of Civil Affairs and be promoted to Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

"Minister of Civil Affairs?" Zheng Zhixun glanced at Zheng Buqi: "I will do my job well!"

Zheng Buqi's originally hopeful face began to look a little lonely.

He had worked so hard to get to this position.

Now is the prime of his career, so he should just step down from such an important position.

Even if it was his son who took over, he would still feel a little unwilling.

So today I came to Zheng Zhixun not only to repair the father-son relationship between the two, but also to talk about Zheng Zhixun's tone of voice.

After all, he has been staying in Kuoding County all these years, and he still has some expectations in his heart as to whether his son will return to Kuoding County.

As long as Zheng Zhixun really wants to stay in Kuoding County, it will not be difficult given His Majesty's honor and favor towards Yan Kai now.

I just didn't expect that Zheng Zhixun was determined to squeeze himself out of this hard-earned position.

"Okay... okay... then..." Zheng Buqi patted Zheng Zhixun's shoulder, as if he had aged ten years: "Then you will work hard in this position from now on!"

After saying that, he went out and slowly let his servants help him leave the restaurant.

"Master Zheng, don't you want to drink two more drinks? Then walk slowly!"

Zheng Zhixun looked at Master Zhou and his father, the contrast between them was sharp.

Following Yan Kai all these years, the Yan family has always regarded him as a member of the family, which also made him feel the warmth of a family that he had never felt before.

"Are you okay?" Yan Kai patted Zheng Zhixun on the shoulder. If he wanted to say he hated Zheng Buqi, he definitely hated him.

Even when Zheng Zhixun was willing to follow him, he had been thinking about training Zheng Zhixun in the direction of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, hoping that one day he could overthrow Zheng Buqi.

Now that he had finally avenged the revenge he had suffered that day, Yan Kai found it a bit boring.

"It's okay!" Zheng Zhixun shook his head and said, "My father has not changed. If he doesn't come to ask me that question today, I think I will still go back to Kuoding County with my husband."

"Haha, Kuoding County is a bit small after all!" Yan Kai pointed outside and said, "Take the things I taught you and have fun in Chang'an!"

"I will take Kuoding County to tell you the truth!"
