Chapter 386 Ringing Corridor

Zhou Jun was born into a wealthy family and was the nephew of the famous Zhou Gongjin and Zhou Yu.His father died in his early years and he was taken in by Zhou Yu. After Zhou Yu's death, he was sent to Kunlun Mountain by his family.

In the Duke Dong's Mansion, although Zhang Bai was a loser, the children of the aristocratic family did not look down upon him.Because in the eyes of the children of the aristocratic family, going to the Kunlun Mountains to seek immortality is the last resort for their own development, and they would not take this path unless absolutely necessary.

Therefore, generally speaking, most of the children of aristocratic families who went to Kunlun were from side branches or concubines.

But Zhang Bai is not. Although he is the youngest son in the family, his father died in his early years. His eldest brother Zhang Wen is talented and well-managed, so it is impossible for Zhang Bai to inherit the main family.

However, no matter what, Zhang Bai is indeed a direct descendant, and no one can deny this.

In addition, Zhang Bai was young and had no hope of cultivating immortality. He was usually modest and courteous and never showed any airs as a direct descendant. Therefore, he was especially welcomed by the children of the aristocratic family in the Duke Dong's Mansion.

In order to survive, Zhang Bai's skills in making clocks were amazing.He once made a solid gold pocket watch for Elder Lu, later the Roman Emperor Alexander.

This aroused Zhou Jun's envy, and he also ordered one from Zhang Bai and paid a deposit in advance.

The pocket watch for Zhou Jun, the dial is made of jade, and the hands are made of the bark of the sacred Sanmulus tree, which took him a lot of time to polish.

It's a pity that the pocket watch was only half finished. Zhang Bai suddenly encountered a disaster and couldn't care about it anymore.

Now, the pocket watch was turned out again, and he stared at it for a while.

I don’t know what happened to these brothers back then.Among that group of people, the leader, Chen Zuo and Chen Xuanji, once roped him in to go back to the Central Plains to do important things; he still owed Zhou Jun this pocket watch.

As he was thinking about it, he suddenly remembered, what would happen if he went to Zhou's house to find Zhou Jun?

not at home?Are you still cultivating immortality?Report on yourself?Or just lay a trap and arrest him?Or can we continue to be friends?

Thinking of this, Zhang Bai decided to finish the watch, maybe there would be a chance to use it.

Zhang Bai's skill in making pocket watches has not been neglected, but now that he is not in the East Prince's Mansion, he does not have as many treasures as before, but fortunately there are plenty of building materials.

In addition, Zhang Bai's cultivation level has been turned upside down, and he is no longer the good-for-nothing boy he once was.

In just half a night, the pocket watch was repaired. He thought that if he met Zhou Jun, he could ask him for the balance of the money. If Zhou Jun didn't want it anymore, he would give it to Zhuge Liang as a reward.

When Zhang Bai woke up, it was already late.He wanted to go to the street to ask for directions, so he called Tuxia and exchanged silver coins for some local currency with the store, and the two of them happily went for a walk on the street.

Wu County is prosperous, and there are all kinds of food and entertainment on the streets.Zhang Bai wandered around with the crowd, eating snacks and buying some clothes.

By the time it was dark, the two of them had eaten well and each had changed into a set of clothes, all made of local silk and satin.The earth flea had never seen the grand scenery of Jiangnan, and his eyes widened and he couldn't stop looking at it.

At this moment, seeing that it was getting late, Zhang Bai remembered what was going on.

I almost forgot to ask where the Zhang family's mansion is.

He hurriedly asked along the road, and after asking, he immediately found the direction. Zhang's Mansion was in this county.

After getting the direction of Zhang Mansion, Zhang Bai was not in a hurry to go. It is not so easy to enter the gate of a big family, so all kinds of preparations must be made.

As for the clothes on my body, I have already bought them for shopping today. All I need is a greeting card and a car.

He asked around again and found out that the invitation was easy to handle. There were calligraphy and painting sellers in the market. Zhang Bai asked someone to write one on special paper.This greeting card is a business card, which is called a famous card at this time. It is a must-have when visiting wealthy people's homes.

Driving is a bit troublesome. It's easy to say that in Jiangnan, buying a horse is difficult.Zhang Bai couldn't find anything he wanted after asking around, so he finally had to spend money to hire an ox cart.

"It's a little shabby. I hope that family isn't greedy for money and wants to follow the crowd."

......

The next day, Zhang Bai got up early and woke up the soil fleas.

After the two of them had dressed up, they left the inn and got on an ox cart to Zhang's house.

In front of Zhang's house, he knocked on the door and saw the doorman, who passed the order to let him in.The boy actually knew how to read, and he was shocked by the content on the tattoo.

"Three, three...third young master!"

He quickly kowtowed, jumped up and announced, "The third young master is back!"

"As expected of a scholarly family, even the doorman can read." Zhang Bai thought to himself.

"But! Even in a family of poets and writers, there will be some scumbags. The eldest brother Zhang Wen is definitely fine. I wonder what the second brother Zhang Zhi is like? Do you think I am here to fight for the family property?"

"How about I show off my financial resources before the time comes?" Zhang Bai was thinking wildly when the door of the mansion suddenly opened, and there was a crowd inside, with all kinds of people coming out to greet him.

The housekeeper, mother-in-law, and servants were greeted outside the door. When the housekeeper saw Zhang Bai, he immediately saluted and ushered them into the house.

His second brother, Zhang Zhi, led Zhang Bai's two sisters-in-law to greet him at the door.

This Zhang Zhi has a slim appearance, is tall and has long arms, is polite in manners, speaks elegantly, and looks clean.There was no evil behavior that Zhang Bai was worried about, but his face was slightly haggard and sickly.

Zhang Bai knew that life was like a play, acting came first, and now it was time to show off.

He immediately grinned and burst into tears. What if there were no tears in his eyes?Lie on the ground and rub your eyes with your palms.

His move was very sudden, and his acting skills were actually very poor.It shocked the family members nearby, as well as the maid, wife, housekeeper, and others. Why did she burst into tears before she even started thinking about it?

However, Zhang Bai is only fourteen or fifteen years old after all. He usually cultivates and maintains his health, and his complexion is quite good. Moreover, as he grows up, he already has an adult figure, but has a delicate baby face.

For those who are not familiar with him, they are very pleased when they first meet him.So even though his acting skills are not good, his good looks are acceptable. Everyone was surprised and immediately thought: "The child must be far away from home. I pity him and he is homesick."

As a result, a bunch of maids and women cried together, and Zhang Zhi even stepped forward to help her into the inner hall.

On this day, everyone in the Zhang family was filled with joy.

It turned out that the eldest brother Zhang Wen had returned to Jianye a long time ago and had informed Zhang Zhi of Zhang Bai's situation in letters, so the Zhang family was not surprised to see Zhang Bai back.

After having dinner with the family, the maid went to prepare Zhang Bai and Tu Xia's bedroom.

The two brothers came to the study to chat, and Zhang Zhi took a test on Zhang Bai's poetry and calligraphy.I found that Zhang Bai's poems and poems were okay, but his book classics were not so good. Although he seemed to have browsed many books, none of them were truly comprehensive.

However, when Zhang Bai went to the Western Regions to cultivate immortality, he didn't originally go to school, and he didn't have a teacher to teach him. To reach this point at such a young age is already considered very good.

Zhang Bai also got to know Zhang Zhi, and it turned out that this guy was a typical Wei and Jin scholar, a man of poetry and calligraphy.

He was a little secretly happy, thinking that when facing such a person, there would be less of the bad custom of life-and-death fights for family property.At the very least, even if we have to fight, it won’t be too ugly!

Zhang Bai calmed down and asked Zhang Zhi about the situation at home, especially the situation of his eldest brother Zhang Wen.

After asking this question, Zhang Zhi frowned slightly, showing a trace of sadness.
