"The head of the case is back!"

"Congratulations, Master Bai, for ranking first in the high school county examination and making my Zhou family famous!"

"Son, come closer and enjoy your literary spirit..."

As soon as he got off the carriage, Zhou Bai fell into a state of celebration, filled with compliments and congratulations.

Rao was reincarnated as a human being, and he couldn't help but sigh.

Wealth and honor do not return home, just like walking in brocade at night!

Just a scholar? But for the rural people, the scholar already has the qualifications to serve as an official in the county government or county government.

A county government official like Zhou Mingxuan, who is in the sixth house, can open up the connections between the big and small in the county, making the Zhou family's business routes smooth and the acres of land continuing to grow over the years.

Even if Zhou Bai is just a flash in the pan now and will stop being a scholar in the future, he will still be an out-and-out member of the family's decision-making team.

Zhou Mingxuan even regarded Zhou Bai as the next clan leader because he ranked first in the county examination and first in the county examination.

"Hahaha, my Qilin'er is back. Come and meet the owners, clan elders and deacons of each house." Zhou Mingxuan was very happy and pulled Zhou Bai to introduce him to the family's senior officials.

Zhou Bai has no stage fright at all and is calm and composed. If you introduce me as your successor, I will not delay.

After some friendly exchanges, the senior management were all very harmonious, but the owner of the third room was often a little embarrassed and couldn't help but feel ashamed.

After receiving the quota granted by others, I thought that Zhou Bai forced the exam just because of his inner injustice, but it turned out that he didn't need the family's help at all.

Originally, Zhou He was lucky enough to be blessed with Tongsheng, and he was regarded as a momentary hero in the clan. There was hope that he would become a scholar in the future.

But now compared to Zhou Bai, he is like a firefly to a bright moon. The more he thinks about Zhou Chang, the angrier he becomes.

"Brother Bai heard that he was robbed by strongmen on the road. He is really lucky to be able to come back safely."

"That's right, I just got the head of the case, and the luck of the court has increased. It's just a small disaster and it's not worth mentioning." Zhou often talks about sticks with thorns, and Zhou Bai is not used to it.

Zhou Chang was stunned for a moment, then continued: "Come to think of it, Brother Bai has just gained fame. Isn't he too eager to recruit followers? He will accept anyone else. Then Chen Zhongbang was born in Lehu. What does this mean? Ask him to come and serve for you."

You don’t even want to play music to celebrate, huh.”

Zhou Bai didn't want to provoke family discord in front of his clan members, and he didn't bother to talk to Zhou Chang anymore.

Instead, he raised his hands to Zhou Mingxuan and said: "Clan Chief, the people I recruit do not need to be supported by the family, does it mean that they do not need to obey the orders of the family?"

"Well, of course." Zhou Mingxuan glared at Zhou Chang and smiled.

After Zhou Bai got the answer, he raised his hands and said to the surrounding senior officials: "Uncles, Bai has something to say here. I will set up an internal government to handle affairs. They will be independent of the family. Please don't point fingers, lest I give trouble to the elders.

Losing face."

Zhou Mingxuan was shocked and said quickly: "It's all gone. It's gone. Zhou Baizhou is tired from traveling and won't join in the fun with everyone."

"Dear fellow villagers, the family banquet has been prepared. Anyone who comes to congratulate us can eat and drink for free!"

While everyone was buzzing with excitement and rich dishes were served one after another at the flowing banquet, Zhou Bai and Zhou Mingxuan came to the Qunshi Hall to have a heart-to-heart talk.

There was silence inside and outside the hall. Everyone can take a special day off today.

"Brother Bai doesn't want to take over the family anymore? I know that the family doesn't give you much luck support, but after all, you were born in the Zhou family and grew up in the Zhou family. Besides, the family didn't force you." Zhou Mingxuan got straight to the point, with a hint of anger on his face.

eager.

Seeing what Zhou Mingxuan wanted to say, Zhou Bai shook his head and interrupted, "Stop, clan leader, I don't mean anything. The next clan leader must be me. No one else can lead the family to the level of county magnate."

"Then what are you?" Zhou Mingxuan asked a little confused.

"I have other things to do. I'll separate the public and private matters, but I have a request." Zhou Bai also said directly.

Zhou Mingxuan breathed a sigh of relief and said generously: "That's good, that's good. If you win the honor this time, the family will reward you with three hundred taels of silver, and you will also fund the construction of a manor in a place of your choice. If you have any other requests, just ask

As long as the family can do it."

"Since you want me to take over as the clan leader, then I need your full support. The clan leader can rest assured that I will definitely win the Qiu Wei election this time."

"Really?! Zhou Bai, you will end up this time. Will your savings be a little bit worse, and will you still have enough luck?" Zhou Mingxuan stood up suddenly, because this news was too shocking.

However, when he saw Zhou Bai's calmness and confidence, Zhou Mingxuan realized that this was the real Qilin child of his Zhou family. They had not believed that he had passed the examination as a boy student or a scholar.

After thinking about it, Zhou Mingxuan nodded again and said: "As long as it doesn't delay your studies and doesn't harm the interests of the family, you can try to take the helm now."

"I want the family to support the county magistrate's new policy, and I have agreed to business cooperation with the county Qi family. The family needs to expand channels..."

In the end, Zhou Bai persuaded Zhou Mingxuan, and he promised to let Zhou Bai do whatever he wanted without harming the interests of the family, and would correct it if it was obvious that it was not working.

At the same time, because of Zhou Mingxuan's cooperation, Zhou Bai followed him to the ancestral hall very obediently. The case was discovered by the descendants during the period when he was in charge of Zhou Mingxuan. This was the merit of the clan leader and he could inform his ancestors.

After walking out of the Qunshi Hall, Zhou Bai went to a high place to observe the qi again. Unlike before when he had just learned the qi-watching technique, this time he could maintain it for a long time and see more clearly.

The core areas such as the Qunshi Hall and the ancestral hall faded in Zhou Bai's eyes and turned into shadows, leaving a majestic forest of houses filled with good fortune.

It is still the seemingly broken net covering the ancestral home, pure white with red mixed in. Because Zhou Bai has gained fame, it is obvious that there are more red areas.

Red and white are divided in half, as if they have stopped at a critical point. As long as Zhou Bai succeeds, the red will surpass the white, and then it can be called the red house.

When all the red colors are covered, it is the luck of the old county magnate. The core is yellow, and the hanging yellow aura surrounds the house to protect it. That is the yellow house that only the county magistrate has.

Zhou Mingxuan promised Zhou Bai to manage family affairs and took him to report to his ancestors. This was a transfer of power.

Reflected on the luck, the luck of the clan is gathering towards him bit by bit, mostly white Qi, but also a lot of red Qi which is precious to the villagers.

This was the first time that he felt the support of his family's luck. Unfortunately, it was only the icing on the cake and could not be used as a basis for him to take the provincial examination.

Overall, although there are some internal failures that weaken the family's luck, overall the family's luck is improving day by day. It is not an exaggeration to say that the villagers are at their peak.

As long as the family status is improved, many people who are in trouble will have more luck and can immediately become Zhou Bai's help.

After knowing his family well, Zhou Bai strode back to the familiar courtyard. At the entrance of the courtyard, Zhou Yuan and his party stood guard, but there were obviously a few more than before.

When Zhou Yuan was about to say hello, Zhou Bai stopped him with a smile.

He stepped briskly into the courtyard. Several peach trees smiled wildly in the spring breeze, and their lush green branches and leaves peeked out a touch of pink outside the courtyard wall.
