Volume Three

3.16 Zhao Yanling always feels like something is wrong

No matter what Zhao Qiying's opinion was, since she got on the carriage, she did not insist on going back. In fact, Nianji is located in Xicheng, the outer city, not far from Xizhimen, and the Central Plains Escort is the same; Zhou Yang's yard is located in the inner city, Zhao Even if the sisters walk home, it is faster than taking a car to Zhou's house, and it is much faster.

No matter what the Zhao sisters thought about, or the excited chatter between Qingwen and Zhao Yanling along the way, the main content was how much fish, meat, rice and noodles the Zhou family still had and how delicious these things were. Anyway, time passed slowly, waiting for Zhou Yang to catch up. When we returned home in the carriage, it was almost noon.

"Third Miss" ignored the Li brothers' arrangement of horses. Zhou Yang drove the carriage into the front yard and arranged for a few girls to get off and enter the second door. Seeing that the three girls were still interested in continuing the conversation, he immediately spoke to Zhao Yanling, Prepare to send the light bulb away first.

"My little sister happens to have not seen sister Qingwen for a while!" Unexpectedly, Zhao Yanling didn't even wait for him to finish a word before she pulled Qingwen straight to the backyard with a smile, and once again "sold" the confused Zhao Qiying. "go out.

"Mr. Zhou" Zhao Qiying looked at Zhou Yang with an anxious look.

"Come here!" Zhou Yang didn't mean to talk nonsense with her. He grabbed her slender hand and pulled her directly to Xikuoyuan. It wasn't until he entered the greenhouse that he hugged her tightly and lowered his head.

"No, Young Master Zhou!" Zhao Qiying, who had been unable to break away despite her life, had no choice but to turn her head to the side and said to Zhou Yang almost pleadingly, "You and I are just meeting by chance, and the Young Master has no shortage of confidantes around him. , why should you care about a woman like me?"

"I gave you time to think about it last time, and then you just disappeared. If I hadn't deliberately arranged for Qingwen to keep in touch with you, would you plan to never see you again, huh?" Gently letting go of her, Zhou Yang pressed said while looking at her shoulders.

"Mr. Zhou, Qiying is just a prostitute who works as an escort to guard the courtyard. Her status is very different from the young master's. Why should you?" Zhao Qiying obviously still had not made a decision.

"It's okay. I'll let you in. I don't have high status requirements." Zhou Yang said calmly.

"You——" Zhao Qiying was exasperated, "Young master Zhou is so elegant. Unfortunately, Qiying has never considered becoming a concubine, so she can only live up to——"

"Qiying, I know this may be too unfair to you." After a long time, Zhou Yang let go of the girl in his arms, and his tone became softer, "But as I said at the beginning, are you really willing to travel around the world all your life and let the years go by? Although you will lose a lot by following me, what you can gain is actually more."

"Qiying is not a woman who is greedy for wealth. Otherwise, there are many wealthy families in the capital, so it would not be difficult to find a small courtyard to live in." Zhao Qiying's cheeks were flushed, and she used force several times in a bad tone, and kicked out someone who moved too much. Unfortunately, all of them were Failure, "Also, if the young master can show more respect to Qiying, maybe your words will be more credible."

"Then what?" Zhou Yang shamelessly pretended not to know, adding more energy at the same time, "Of course I know Qiying's temperament. If I don't use some means, will it be possible to just wait for fate or to say, 'You are a good person'. '?I have no interest in watching the one I love slip away from my eyes."

After saying that, he took advantage of Zhao Qiying's thinking, picked her up and carried her into the bedroom. He held her tightly until tears fell from her face as she begged, lowered her head, and slowly kissed away her tears.

"Let Qiying go, okay?" Zhao Qiying completely gave up her meaningless resistance because her strength was too far apart in comparison, but she still tried to save her.

"Promise me, or I want you now." Zhou Yang never thought about giving her a choice. He knew too well that this girl who had already taken charge of the logistics management of the entire Central Plains Escort Bureau and was also responsible for part of the Escort's external affairs, if she let her go this time If we leave her, it's hard to say whether we'll see her again, and we might even run into bullshit like "already married".

What, this way of chasing girls is easy to get hacked to death?Then sort it out.

Currently, Zhou Yang has the status of Wu Jieyuan. Even if we don't mention the convention of "executioners must win" in the examination, generally if Wu Jieyuan enters the army, he will not be able to get at least a sixth-grade treatment. At present, the Zhou Dynasty has already shown signs of becoming a noble and a lowly military official. But this is just a sign. There is no problem with such status being equal to the county magistrate, that is, "enjoying the treatment of the county magistrate."This is just talking about his current status. Don't forget that there is also property. Even if you ignore the situation of the Xue family, the yard where he currently lives is more than 25 feet from north to south, with a total of more than [-] rooms from east to west. Calculated, it is " "It has a courtyard with an area of ​​no less than [-] square meters in the Second Ring Road of Beijing," which is even larger than the "Zhongyuan Escort Bureau" in the outer city.

This is only talking about software, hardware, and "circle", because his current social circle is actually the periphery of the top martial arts circle in the Zhou Dynasty. Such conditions are enough to scorn most officials, let alone It is said that Zhao Qiying is just a female martial artist who walks the rivers and lakes, and the difference in status between the two can be called a "natural moat".

This is also the main reason why she has been hesitant and even chose to acquiesce when bullied. If such conditions are converted to modern times, it will be easier to chase female friends, and modern people are more proactive than in the feudal era, and they may not even be able to do it at all. Forget about "chasing".

"Qiying still has a marriage contract—no, don't!" Zhao Qiying felt the strange hand once again after she just made an excuse, so she had no choice but to say, "These days, my father has found news about the Cai family, and I heard that the son of the Cai family I went out to study with a teacher, but it was not difficult to contact him. The two families had completely agreed to get married at the beginning, so how could we?"

"What was decided at that time was just a baby marriage, that is, the daughter of the Zhao family was going to marry the son of the Cai family, right?" Zhou Yang said with a smile, "But it was definitely not said which daughter would marry which son, right? Right? I remember that your father didn’t only have one daughter! For example, you also have three, um, second sisters!"

"Ah?" Zhao Qiying was stunned. She had never thought about doing this. "When the marriage was arranged, Qiying was not born yet, but the Cai family's son was already three years old, so what he originally said was, 'If he is a son, Become brothers'."

"If it's a daughter, we'll get married, right?" Zhou Yang interrupted her angrily, and remembered the other two families who had also agreed, the Guo family and the Yang family, "Don't worry, if the Cai family is still in the same state as before, this This situation is absolutely impossible to change; but if it were changed to the current situation where the Cai family has declined, as long as it is the daughter of the Zhao family, the Cai family will not have any objection."

"This -" Zhao Qiying is not stupid. She has long been used to the affairs of the world and has been in charge of the Zhongyuan Escort Agency for several years. She fully understands what Zhou Yang means, but the integrity in her heart makes her unwilling to accept it. "How can So? This is not”

"Sisters are easy to marry!" Zhou Yang said unceremoniously, "Well, it's not the case. In short, the younger sister has taken over the older sister's position. The elder sister has another place to go. You haven't seen the situation of this young master of the Cai family, have you? You might as well find out. Fan - well, why not just ask your second sister to go and find out, if the conditions are right, maybe I can save you the trouble?"

"How could I treat my second sister like this - no, Mr. Zhou, please spare Qiying!" Zhao Qiying's remaining sense made her know that she could not continue, but she had no ability to break free and run away, "Can't I agree to it? At least not like this"

"That's good!" Zhou Yang nodded in satisfaction, bit her ear and muttered a few words, and then smiled at the girl's red-faced expression, "You should at least keep some 'rules', or if you don't What should I do if I run away?”

"No, no, how can you act like this?" No matter how hard Zhao Qiying struggled, she couldn't resist the completely suppressed body, and could only helplessly let it wreak havoc.
It is now the end of the year, and Zhou Yang has not done much greening construction. No matter where in the yard at this time, it is either snow-white or the bluestone road has been swept away. Naturally, there is no scenery to speak of. Therefore, in the backyard with Qing Qing Zhao Yanling's expression became more and more strange after Wen chatted with her for a while, until she finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw her eldest sister coming in.

"Sister, why are you looking so red?" Of course, there are other doubts, such as Zhao Yanling's question, "What exactly did Mr. Zhou explain, and it took so long?"

"It's just some trivial matters." Zhao Qiying's face turned even redder. She turned her head and glared at Zhou Yang who came in from behind and said, "Okay, don't ask. There happens to be food prepared here, so why not finish the meal?" Let’s take a rest before talking.”

"Sister, Dad specifically told us to prepare all the things for the New Year when he asked us to go out. Now it is the last big gathering. If we don't hurry up, it may be difficult." Zhao Yanling said uneasily.

"What you are short of is nothing more than rice, flour, meat and oil. I have plenty here. After dinner, you can make a list and take it from me." Zhou Yang interrupted her with a smile, not talking about his own things. If you can’t finish it, it’s a waste to keep it. It’s a matter of course in any era to give something to your sister’s house during the holidays!
"This is not okay. How can we take things from Mr. Zhou for no reason!" Zhao Yanling refused without hesitation. I have to say that Zhao Tianhao's tutor is indeed very good, even in the "unparalleled" state with only three daughters. He still ingrained the concepts of chivalry and integrity into the hearts of every child.

"Yan Ling, just do as he said." Zhao Qiying instantly blushed to the root of her neck, but she also understood what Zhou Yang meant. After thinking about it, she said to her sister, "Let's eat first!"

"Huh?" Looking at Zhou Yang first, and then at her eldest sister, Zhao Yanling always felt that something was wrong, especially when the eldest sister was overwhelmed by her look and finally turned around shyly, she finally vaguely guessed something, and endured He couldn't help showing a weird expression, "In this case, my little sister needs to get more!"
