Wu Sanli has never felt that the summer of the year is as difficult as it is now.

In the past, he liked the high temperature season the most. He liked to pour down a large bowl of cold water after he was tired from playing the pipa, and then went to the street to buy a few catties of bayberry soaked in cold well water, and brought a porcelain bowl out to sit in the yard. Divide among the guys.Then sitting in the small courtyard of the teahouse and blowing the humid wind from the lake, the whole person feels comfortable.

Too bad he's not in the mood right now.The lobby of the teahouse was facing the busy street, and he was sitting on the small table directly opposite the door, holding his cheek and waiting for that person.

Not long after, the boss came down the stairs yawning. Seeing his languid appearance, he couldn't bear it, so he came over and sat with him on a bench.

"You say he's an idiot, but I don't think you're very smart." Shang Chen saw that his eyes were black and blue, and couldn't help sighing softly, with unbearable and distressed tone in his tone, "Zhou knows that if you don't have you in your heart, , why did he keep that gauze handkerchief for two years and refused to throw it away?"

Wu Sanli glanced at him, turned his face away and said, "Maybe it's because the veil is durable."

"Pfft..." Shang Chen laughed softly, he leaned over and took two bright red cherries from the clerk's hand, handed one to Wu Sanli, and stuffed the other into his mouth.

The skin of the cherry is smooth and beautiful, and it is small and cold at the fingertips.Shang Chen frowned after chewing a couple of mouthfuls: "It's so sour." Turned around and left.

He was originally responsible for this matter, but the current development is completely beyond his control.

Wu Sanli didn't eat the cherries, just watched them.Now he can feel the feeling of having his whole heart held in his hands.

Frightened, terrified.

Cicada outside the window has been noisy since early morning.Zhou Zhi retreated from the door of his mother's room, turned around and saw his father sitting in front of the hall.

"Come here." His father beckoned to him.

"The exam will take place in a few days. Have you prepared enough?" Father Zhou was imposing, sitting majestically and solemnly on the chair of the Eight Immortals in front of the hall, with the spirit tablets of the ancestors of the Zhou family behind him.

Zhou's family was originally a respectable family in Shangjing, but unfortunately, Zhou Zhi's grandfather's generation was extravagant, dissipating the family wealth that their ancestors worked hard for.Father Zhou and even Zhou knew that this generation was already a bit stretched, and only the yard under the emperor's feet was left for the whole family so that they would not live on the streets.

Although the family has declined, the etiquette and rules left by the ancestors are still there.Father Zhou acted like a gentleman.

Zhou Zhi leaned over in a low voice, and replied cautiously: "It's all done."

"Yeah." Father Zhou glanced at him, then stroked his beard with his hand and said, "I heard that you have been friends with Mr. Murong from Qinghui Tea House recently?"

"Just discuss a few lines of poetry once in a while." Zhou Zhi was taken aback for a while. He didn't know how his father got the news, so he became more cautious.

"There is still less contact with people in Fengyue Field. The scientific examination will be held in a few days. You have to calm down and prepare well." Father Zhou's tone became more serious. Who is it? I heard from Mr. Yan that there is an opera actor who is neither male nor female in his teahouse?"

Zhou Zhi suddenly raised his head, but saw his father's expression of disdain, "I've always hated this kind of people the most in my life, they have no manliness, and they hang around in this kind of place for people to laugh at and laugh at, they're not even as good as women... ..."

Father was still talking incessantly, but Zhou Zhi could no longer hear what he was saying clearly.Those words were like sharp knives and sharp blades pierced through the person who held him in his heart, and the accusations were useless...

"No!" Zhou Zhi raised his head subconsciously to retort, but the moment he looked at his father, his mind went blank, and he didn't know what to say to this majestic man.

His lips moved for a moment...

No, Xiliu is very nice... When he smiles, there are two beautiful dimples on his cheeks, which are eye-catching; if he sees a beggar on the street, he will definitely take out all the money on his body; He can play very well; his mouth is also very clever. Those little gangsters on the street dare not provoke him. Everyone says he is hot, but his heart is soft and warm.

Xiliu is so good that Zhou Zhi doesn't know where to start.

He stood in front of his father in a daze, and he could only repeat in his mouth: "He is very good, he is really good. Others don't know, but I know."

A surge of anger surged up in Father Zhou's chest. He slammed the table and knocked over the teacup, and the falling tea dripped onto the floor.

"Are you being deceived by lard again? An actor with no distinction between male and female is worthy of your praise?" Father Zhou dragged Zhou Zhi into the room furiously, took out the key from the cabinet, and dropped it on the door. Put the lock on, "I don't think you need to go out these few days, and prepare for the imperial examination at ease! Give me your unconscious mind!"

"Then the teahouse has really become a kiln? It's a place that harms people!" Zhou's father was still angry, pointing at the door and cursing: "Our Zhou family is pointing to your success, you should weigh yourself Jin Liang, you can meet such a person? Besides, he is a man!"

There was an intermittent coughing sound from the back room. Zhou's father took a few breaths, caring for his mother, so he lowered his voice, "You should reflect inside! I will send you there for the next day's scientific examination!"

His father left angrily, Zhou Zhi leaned against the wall, his whole heart was chilled, the seven days he spent with Xiliu after he confessed his love was like a happy past life, the person he wanted to hold in his heart, miss Countless people day and night...

This feeling is like the person closest to you has stabbed you in the heart, but you can't do anything.

The wind was blowing in, making everyone feel lonely and lonely.

It has been two days, Wu Sanli has been sitting there motionless for two days.

Shang Chen couldn't see it, so he wanted to persuade him, but he smiled wryly and said that he could afford to wait.

"It's all because I was eager for success at the beginning," Shang Chen looked at Wu Sanli's back worriedly, "I shouldn't have used Zhou Zhi in the first place."

When he turned his head, he found that the side was empty, so he turned his face away again.

Xiao Jiu said yesterday that he had something to do, so he went back to the headquarters, and he hasn't come back yet.Fortunately, the passageway was only temporarily closed, and Xiao Jiu himself said that there was no major problem, so Shang Chen didn't keep him.

Recently, he is always busy with lowering his head to sort out all kinds of materials, or he is just in a daze, with a lot of scrolling data floating in front of him, and Shang Chen is too embarrassed to disturb him.

It's just that the progress of this task has been too slow recently, and Xiao Jiu is not around, let alone further development.Shang Chen could only be anxious.

Wu Sanli's waiting and anxiety have seriously affected his favorability, and the progress bar has dropped to 60.00%.Shang Chen had no choice but to think that Fa'er greeted Wu Sanli every day, and couldn't help feeling strange.

Logically speaking, Zhou knew that this person was absolutely sincere to Wu Sanli, and he loved this person much more than his gender.But why has there been no movement after waiting for so many days?

In the afternoon, Shang Chen went to Zhou Zhi's house and knocked on the door. After knocking for a long time, no one answered, so he had to go back.

Wu Sanli in front of the tea table was in even worse condition, lying on the table with a pale, pretty face, and the handkerchief in his hand was wet in several places.

"Is he even refusing to come over and tell me in person?" Wu Sanli whimpered a little again, and the words he said were obviously crying, "Is it just...so disgusting to him?"

Shang Chen panicked and wanted to go forward to comfort him, but he didn't expect him to straighten up and wipe away his tears.

"He's going to go to the scientific examination tomorrow, and I don't believe he can't be blocked on the road!" Wu Sanli seemed to be excited for a moment, sniffing his nose and wiping his messy hair behind his ears, "What am I? Something that comes and goes when you call it? How could he do this to me!"

While talking, Wu Sanli said that he was wronged again, "I have loved such a person for most of my life, and I wish I could treat him with all my heart... But, he knows who he thinks of me?"

Seeing that he was about to cry again, Shang Chen hurriedly stepped forward to persuade: "Maybe he has some difficulties..." Shang Chen couldn't continue speaking halfway through the sentence, he didn't know where to stand to comfort Wu Sanli, now I really put myself in a dead end.

Shang Chen sighed, and patted Wu Sanli's back comfortingly.

On the day of the scientific examination, it dawned very early, Zhou Zhi got up and washed carefully, and then went to kowtow to his mother's bed.

Father had already prepared everything, and stood at the door solemnly waiting for Zhou Zhi.

"Come on, kowtow to the ancestors of the Zhou family." The important matter is in front of him, and Zhou's father can't care about his son's unspeakable trivial matters. It's better to think that he is still young and older.

Just as Zhou Zhi was about to bend down, he heard a hasty knock on the door.The people who came seemed to be very impatient, and the dust on the door panel shook off fine dust with the vigorous knocking.

Zhou's father took a look at Zhou Zhi, waved his hand to let him continue to salute, and went outside to open the door for others.

"This is the Zhou family?" The man in charge had a mole in the middle of his face, his front teeth protruded, and he knew from his face that he was not someone to be provoked.

Father Zhou watched vigilantly at the group of people gathered in front of his house, frowned and said, "What's the matter?"

"It's nothing, it's just that your family still owes our family a little money." A deep voice sounded among the group of people, He Nan pushed aside the servants who stood in front of him, and waved the land deed to Father Zhou with a smile.

"This land was mortgaged to our family by Zhou Deze before, right?" He Nan walked into the hall swaggeringly, and sat down on the upper seat, causing Zhou's father standing beside him to frown.

Zhou Deze is Zhou Zhi's grandfather, and it has been a long time since his death. Now that such a long matter suddenly came to him, these people are obviously here to find fault.

He Nan waved the land deed triumphantly, and said in a careless tone: "Thirty years ago, your grandfather took a piece of broken land to pay for 30 taels of silver from our He family, and now the time on the contract has expired." , I’m here to collect a debt. How about this, be generous, I don’t want the principal, plus the interest, your family has to take out 50 taels of silver to pay for it.”

Father Zhou's expression changed drastically.

He Nan didn't find Zhou Zhi's house because of that bullshit 20 taels. Could it be that their family still lacked that little money, so their young master had to come over early in the morning to ask for it?

It's all because of what happened to Wu Sanli before.

Earlier, He Nan had a bad nose in the teahouse, but after returning home, he was so unconvinced.It's a pity that Wu Sanli has no father or mother, and there is Murong Tang behind him, so it is difficult to recover from him in a short time.

If you can't start with Wu Sanli, then check the people around him. He Nan, who came and went, noticed Zhou Zhi.Careful with his hands and feet, he found out that there is still such a thing between the two families, so don't let it go in vain, and come here to make a fuss, which can be regarded as a sigh of relief for Young Master He.

Father Zhou tugged at his robe tremblingly and said, "Where did this happen? How can our family pay 20 taels now?"

"Can't afford it?" He Nan raised his eyebrows, and said viciously: "If you can't afford it, then go to the government with me! This is clearly written, and no one wants to take this account from me today!"

"Oh..." Zhou's father, who has always been prudent, is really anxious now. Now that the family has no spare money, the only two taels of silver are all in Zhou Zhi's burden for rushing to the exam, but this is money that must never be taken out.

Zhou Zhi was standing beside him with his thin luggage, and his thin body stood in a corner of the noisy hall, looking particularly out of place.The chaos in front of him didn't seem to catch his eyes at all, Zhou Zhi stared at the distance in a daze, and no one knew what he was thinking.

"Young master, see if you can give him two more days. The dog is going to take the exam today, so you let him go first. I will handle the rest." Zhou's father stood up straight all his life and never begged anyone, but today he bowed his knees. standing in front of He Nan, sweating profusely because of the mere 20 taels.It was getting late, if he missed this exam, Zhou Zhi would have to wait for three years, but his mother couldn't afford to wait.

"Oh?" He Nan seemed to have just remembered that Zhou Zhi was still there. He curled his lips, his eyes fell on the thin young man, and a malicious smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "Really?"

"Yes, yes," Zhou's father wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve. Although he knew that this group of people came here to make trouble for no reason, there was no way they were numerous, and there was indeed such a thing in his family that he didn't understand. .It just happened to be the day when Zhou Zhi was rushing to take the exam, and things happened in a hurry, which made people panic.

"The dog has been studying for several years, just to be able to stand out today." Father Zhou poured a bowl of tea respectfully to He Nan, who was sitting still, with an apologetic smile. Zhou Zhi refused to let his son go.

I don't have anything to do, if I really can't get Qian He Nan, I can't do anything, at worst, I will lose face when I see the government.But now the key is to let these people let Zhou Zhi out.

"I hope the young master can be accommodating," Zhou's father said with a humble smile, "I will follow the young master's orders for the rest."

He Nan didn't feel guilty at all when he took the tea that the old man poured for him, so he looked up and down for a while out of the corner of his eye, and his eyes finally fell on the bag in his hand. After looking at it for a while, he raised his eyebrows and smiled and said, " I'm not an arrogant and unreasonable person, since the young master is in a hurry, let's go first, I'm not in a hurry here for a while."

"Thank you, thank you young master!" Father Zhou breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly pushed Zhou Zhi outside. When he arrived at the door, his eyes were full of expectation and pain: "My son... let's go."

Zhou Zhi just glanced at his father indifferently, filled with thoughts that did not meet the expectations of the man in front of him.He misses Wu Sanli, very, very much... He still owes him a promise and an explanation, which he cannot let go of no matter what.

Seeing Zhou Zhi's retreating figure, He Nan smiled coldly, as long as he is let out of the house, will everything else follow my orders?

That would be fun.He Nan frowned at Father Zhou who hurried back.
