Big businessman and little fisherman

Chapter 222 Zhoufu
When Zhou Yang entered the gate, the king of Qin had not yet arrived.

He glanced lightly at Lu Yange who was sitting with Tang Jinming and Song Yunfei, and sat down at the table opposite them calmly.

"Why did you come here?" Zhou Biao turned around and watched Zhou Yang sit down beside him.

Zhou Yang nodded to the third elder brother Zhou Sa who stepped aside, and said softly: "I have something to do in the barracks, so I came out a little late."

Zhou Biao handed the hot tea he didn't drink to Zhou Yang: "Fortunately, His Royal Highness Qin Wang hasn't come out yet, otherwise you came out later than His Royal Highness Qin Wang, wouldn't it be a bit embarrassing."

"Thank you, Second Brother." Zhou Yang took the teacup, and then glanced at Lu Yangge who was opposite, "Who is sitting with the son of the Duke of Zhenguo and Second Young Master Song?"

"That, I don't know." Zhou Biao is more lively and talkative than his eldest brother Zhou Hurricane, "He came with the son of the Duke of Zhen, maybe his surname is Zhang or something?"

Zhou Sa, who was sitting next to Zhou Yang, said, "The surname is Lu, and the name is Lu Yan. It is estimated that Tang Shizi and Song Ergong are the children, otherwise these two people would not be so protective."

"Fa Xiao? That's the acquaintance since childhood." Zhou Yang chuckled, "Then the background is not small."

"I've never heard of the upstart in Beijing with the surname Lu!" Zhou Biao followed Zhou Yang's gaze and looked at the opposite side, "But this kid is so good-looking, he just looks a bit like a mother..."

"Second brother, that's called male and female indiscrimination." The eldest son Zhou Huan frowned, "I told you to study more, but you want to learn martial arts, and now your words are getting more and more out of your mind."

"Brother." Zhou Biao felt aggrieved, "Whether you have a brain or not has nothing to do with whether you have read a lot."

"Pfft..." Zhou Sa on the side couldn't help laughing, and sprayed out the tea in his mouth, and a little of it fell on Zhou Yang.

"Fourth brother, my fault, my fault, I'll wipe it off for you." Zhou Sa hurriedly wiped the tea on Zhou Yang's body.

Zhou Yang stopped him: "Third Brother, don't panic, it's just some tea, it's fine."

He is at the border, not to mention some tea, even if the sewage is on his body, he will not change his face.

Because of Zhou Sa's interruption, the four brothers changed the subject again.

As the eldest brother, the eldest son, Zhou Huan, stayed outside for a few years after observing his filial piety. He just returned to Beijing to wait for a job when he was young last year. He is naturally the most stable among the three younger brothers.

Zhou Biao has loved to wield knives and guns since he was a child. Although he has been under the pressure of Marquis Wu'an these years and has not achieved much, he has also entered the Shenji Camp in Beijing.

Zhou Sa's father was a bastard, and although he was ranked third among his brothers, he consciously was lower than Zhou Yang.

Zhou Sa is good at reading, and now works as a teacher in the Imperial College.

The brothers muttered for a while, and it was Zhou Hun who reminded everyone: "You guys should keep your voice down. Others will think that our family has broken mouths."

"I was wrong, I shut up." Zhou Biao said, raised his hand to pinch his lips, folded his arms and looked at Zhou Yang, his eyes signaled, I will change seats with you, I don't want to sit next to the elder brother.

Zhou Yang ignored him, but lowered his eyes and stared at his palm.

It was a pair of hands that had experienced life and death, full of calluses and scars.

When he and his uncle defected to the Hongying Army, his uncle didn't know about it. He hated the corruption of the court, hated his father's injustice to his mother, and hated the former emperor's cold-blooded treatment of the Lin family, so he made a desperate choice.

When the Hongying army attacked the capital, it was he who persuaded his uncle to open the west gate, and his elder brother was in the Habayashi guard to support him, so that the Hongying army could go all the way to the imperial city without hindrance.

It was also these hands that strangled Princess Anyang to death in front of Zhou Zongyi when the city was broken.If it wasn't for his uncle to stop him, he would have killed Zhou Zongyi, and let him and Anyang have the same fate, so that he could be a companion along the way to Huangquan.

It was also because of this that the uncle said that he was too extreme and cruel, so he simply took advantage of the unstable foundation of the new dynasty and threw him to his uncle to go to the border.

He knew his uncle's painstaking efforts. Since he was a child, he grew up with the two elder brothers of his uncle's family.The uncle treated him like a parent and son, even if he was to protect him by letting him go to the border with his uncle, it was to train him, and he didn't want their father and son to turn against each other.

In the past few years, he has been at the border, and the news has been received one after another.

After Anyang's death, Zhou Zongyi took the opportunity to blackmail his grandmother and uncle, saying that Zhou Yang's murder was too serious and he wanted to separate the family.The two children born in Anyang will also be taken to their side, and their surnames will be changed to Zhou.

How could grandmother and uncle Zhou Zongren agree to this outrageous request? Princess Anyang is a former princess, and the child she gave birth to has royal blood.If Zhou Zongyi took the two children by his side, what would the current emperor think of the Zhou family.

I'm afraid that the Zhou family is suspected of disobedience. To be more serious, my uncle's Lin family army can help the new emperor ascend the throne, and it can also help the Marquis of Wu'an's rebellion.

But if my uncle had this heart, why would he wait until Chen Quan ascended the throne as emperor.

The reason why Zhou's family in Marquis of Wu'an's Mansion survived safely in the new dynasty was because he and his uncle had disobedience after their mother's death.Later, after many inquiries and comparisons, the Hongying Army was selected.

It was also because when the Hongying army was attacking the city, the uncle and elder brother followed his persuasion and turned against each other temporarily, so the Wu'anhou mansion is stable today.

But after all, they are the courtiers of the previous dynasty, even if they have made some contributions, they still feel a little uncomfortable in the hearts of the current Holy Majesty.

In order to dispel the doubts of the current Holy Majesty, my uncle resigned from office on the grounds of being unwell and recuperated at home. My eldest brother asked himself to be transferred to a foreign post and returned last year. The former Marquis of Wu'an's mansion is only an empty shell.

He went to the border with his uncle, and was not transferred back to Beijing until this year, but his uncle returned far away, and his aunt had to stay in Beijing with his cousin, unable to reunite.

All of this is because of Zhou Zongyi's villainous behavior.

But he still refused to repent, and even wanted to raise the two evils left by Princess Anyang.

Back then, my grandmother vomited blood in anger, fell ill, and died in a hurry within a year.Before she died, her grandmother asked Zhou Zongyi to kneel down and promise her that she would never let that pair of villains from Anyang enter Zhou's house.

Perhaps it was a matter of conscience, or a plan to delay the attack, Zhou Zongyi wept bitterly, and agreed to his grandmother's request.

As a result, more than two years after the grandmother died, before the filial piety period, the uncle received news that Zhou Zongyi had bought a house outside to raise the pair of children left by Princess Anyang.

Zhou Zongyi is really affectionate and righteous!
The uncle was also annoyed at Zhou Zongyi's stubbornness, so he simply separated the family, kicked Zhou Zongyi out of the family, and drove him out of the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion, leaving the second house to Zhou Yang alone.

Zhou Zongyi, who was once the most beautiful man in the capital, was kicked out of the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion just like that, and lived with a pair of sons and daughters left by Princess Anyang.

Perhaps it was because of disappointment with his brother, or because of the depression of the new dynasty, the uncle fell ill after expelling Zhou Zongyi from the clan, and he has had a rough time on and off for the past two years.Last year, I heard that it became more and more serious.

It was also because my uncle was ill, my elder brother was appointed outside, and the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion was getting worse and worse, but the Lin family army was as strong as gold at the border. Not only did they guard the border for the big merchants, but they also repelled several barbarian invasions in the past few years.

Maybe it's because there is no one available for the current emperor, or maybe it's because the current emperor wants to restore the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion to compete with the upstarts.

In short, after the eldest brother Zhou Yang returned to Beijing, he, Zhou Yang also came back.
