Volume Three

3.45 Qiying, I owe you these.

After two days of busy work in Jia's Mansion, he accepted Li Wan's heartfelt "thank you" when the afternoon came. When Zhou Yang finally returned home, it was already half time. It was only when he entered the backyard that he was surprised to find that it had been some days. The Zhao sisters I met actually came to visit in person today.

Speaking of it, even though Zhao Qiying had acquiesced in the relationship between the two when she came last time, whether because of her daughter's reservedness or being frightened by Zhou Yang's unrestrained behavior, in short, there are many contacts on weekdays, but they are always Through Qingwen, who went to visit her sisters from time to time, she passed the message. After three months, the two of them never saw each other again!

"What a rare visitor. I didn't expect Miss Zhao to take out precious time from her busy schedule to burn a stick of incense in my small temple. Shouldn't I express my great honor?" Zhou Yang did not worry about the people around him. Zhao Yanling and Qingwen, who were standing, went up and hugged Zhao Qiying, "Huh?"

"Pfft..." Zhao Yanling on the side turned her back shyly and spat softly before saying, "Brother-in-law, please be careful. Sister Qingwen is fine, but the younger sister is here too. You guys shouldn't be here either." In the living room, right?"

"Hahaha, what Sanmei said is right, I'm sorry!" Zhou Yang smiled and apologized insincerely, and then winked at the pouting Qingwen, signaling him to pull Zhao Yanling away. Caiqiang dragged Zhao Qiying into the study room, "Tell me, as the saying goes, 'nothing is impossible to go to the Three Treasures Palace', you are here, why don't you tell me the purpose, maybe I can help?"

"Brother Zhou, you" had just been fooled by his sudden "raid". After reacting, he was so embarrassed that he dared not speak. Zhao Qiying had no choice but to speak until then, "You don't have any evasion, how can my little sister dare to come to your door? If I hadn’t heard that you were a martial arts scholar this time, you should have come to congratulate me no matter what, how would I have dared?”

"Business matters, right?" Zhou Yang interrupted her angrily, "I remember that you need to bring a gift when you come to congratulate me. Where are your gifts? You won't tell me, they are the two brocade boxes placed in the living room. ?Although I am not rich, I am not short of some fruits and snacks. Is there anything else?"

"Guarding the Xue family, a powerful businessman in the world, how can my little sister dare to say that you, Zhou Jinshi, are short of money!" Zhao Qiying said resentfully, without the boldness of the escort girl in her tone, "You made me look like that last time I came here. I just thought that you would have arrangements soon, but I didn’t want to think that more than three months had passed. If sister Qingwen hadn’t come to play from time to time, she would have thought that she had become an abandoned woman and no one would care about her!"

"Uh." Zhou Yang was confused for a moment, and then he remembered that he had been trying to get people to come to his door all day long, but he still hadn't given him a concrete explanation. "I'm busy, right? You see, I've been busy with martial arts, until now. It’s just that it’s finally coming to fruition, I’ve already prepared for it.”

"I heard from Sister Qingwen that you have never asked about her relationship with my little sister these days." Zhao Qiying broke away from his arms, straightened her clothes and said angrily, "You haven't even mentioned my little sister's name a few times. This time, Third Sister persuaded me to come over, so I can see if you, Zhou Dajinshi, are still willing to take it, so as not to--"

"Qiying, I'm sorry!" Zhou Yang let go of the girl after a long kiss, and apologized seriously, "I have indeed neglected you these days, and I am indeed busy with my career, but I really didn't think about how to persuade you. That old-fashioned father, after all, Mr. Zhao is well-known as the head of the bodyguard, and his personality is not a secret."

"A few days ago, I heard that Mr. Cai had finished his studies and returned to the Cai family. My father arranged for the second sister and the third sister to go there." Zhao Qiying said with a blush, "I heard from the third sister that Mr. Cai is a good man. , looks about the same as you, and has been practicing martial arts since childhood, and has good skills. Third sister's kung fu is equal to mine, but she can't take advantage of him."

"Oh?" Zhou Yang paused for a moment, remembering that Cai Hanying, Mr. Cai's performance in "The Escort Bureau of Central Plains" was indeed worthy of being called a "Young Hero", "Really? I don't know if Yan Ling has noticed that, you two Are my sister and him a good match? And what is the current condition of the Cai family? I mean family power."

"Definitely not as good as you, Zhou Da Jinshi." Zhao Qiying hit him, and he grinned in pain, "Little sister, let me ask you again, how are Ziyang planning to arrange it? I am afraid that my father will not agree with our affairs, so I have not dared to tell him yet. He, after the second sister and the third sister returned from the Cai family a few days ago, he even mentioned the original marriage."

"This." Zhou Yang looked embarrassed, "It's not that I don't want to give you an explanation, but that I was prepared to take you as my concubine, and Mr. Zhao would never agree to it anyway. If I come to propose marriage, with him If your temper can be controlled or not, it will be extremely restrained, so I'm afraid it will be even more difficult for you. My original plan was to find an excuse for you or you and Sanmei to follow when I take office around August. In order to 'protect the family members', things will be easy to arrange when we arrive at the place of employment. The worst I can do is to bear the reputation of 'robbing women from the people'. No matter how big your father's opinion is - well, you also know my skills. , He can’t beat me, right?”

"Hmph!" Zhao Qiying blushed immediately, realizing that his "plan" included the content of "cooking raw rice into mature rice", but did not object, "My father's temper, I am afraid it will be difficult to agree to you—— That's all, just think of it as an unfilial daughter like me. I came here today. I only came after telling my father.

Sister Qingwen will invite me and my third sister to play every now and then these days. Dad also knows it, but he doesn’t know that Qingwen is just a girl to you. He thought he was a brother and sister. This time you won the Wu Jinshi, I I didn’t dare to explain it clearly. I just said that you won the martial arts competition and were invited by sister Qingwen to celebrate together. Otherwise, with my father’s knowledge, he would have realized that something was wrong. "

"Qiying, I owe you these!" Zhou Yang hugged the girl tightly and said emotionally, "Don't worry, although there is a difference in status, I swear today that I will never let you down in this life. If I have any If something goes wrong, I’ll just let it go.”

"Okay, it's not that I haven't been watching these days, and with the news I learned from Sister Qingwen, how can I not know what you are like? Just say that what you have done for the Xue family can be done in the rivers and lakes." Call it 'Chivalry Wushuang'." Zhao Qiying interrupted his oath and said softly, "Since I have promised you, I will serve you for the rest of my life, why do you need to swear?

As for the Miss Xue family, she has extensive friendships with the Zhongyuan Escort Bureau and has many friends in Jinling. Naturally, she has inquired about her. She is recognized as a lady of the family. The only pity is that like the younger sister, she has a lower background. Otherwise, Jinling would have been Wuhua Tianbao, I'm afraid I don't need to wait for you, Ziyang, to make a decision. "

"Reconnaissance on the enemy?" Zhou Yang teased, causing Xiao Fang to hit him, "Don't worry, Baochai has the most gentle personality. As long as I don't agree, I will never do anything harmful to you. Just rest assured; Besides, you will definitely be the guard commander of the Zhou family’s back house in the future. It’s too late for her to win over you, so how can it harm her?”

"Pfft -" Zhao Qiying couldn't help laughing, "You're welcome, my little sister has been arranged by you before she even walks in. I just don't know how to arrange the Oriental girl in Weiyuan Hou Mansion? The reason why I’m not worried about Miss Xue’s family is that it’s not my turn to worry!”

"You!" Zhou Yang himself couldn't help laughing, but he still had a headache after laughing. He had frequent contact with the Xue family of Jinling, but he had never mentioned anything about Dongfang Bing to Xue Baochai, but he wouldn't really I thought they didn't know about it. After all, Xue Zihao has made considerable progress in the capital. "Are you relieved now?"

"Hmph, ever since I fell in love with you in the Chengxi Tavern." Zhao Qiying complained aggrievedly, and was hugged by Ai Lang, "I don't have any choice. Anyway, I just let you do whatever you want. I only blame myself for my miserable life. When I meet you, the devil star - good brother, please be gentle, my little sister will go back soon.

The third sister is very attentive. I'm afraid she already noticed the clues last time she came here. Even though she is her own sister, there is nothing to worry about. You didn't really ruin my little sister's body. I beg you to save some dignity for me so that I don't have to be raped by her when I go back. If you talk and tease, don't let my father see it, otherwise my little sister is afraid..."

At the same time, Rongguo Mansion, Li Wan Courtyard.

"Come on, the three of you will get one share each, so you don't have to be talked about by those slaves when you are tight on weekdays." Li Wan handed over three small packages, each containing 20 taels of silver leaves and some copper coins. "If there is not enough money one day, , then pick it up from me, you can’t carry it if it’s too much, and it’s hard to explain if someone sees it.”

"Sister-in-law, what did you and Brother Zhou discuss, and it took so long?" Tanchun, who has always been quick-thinking, asked curiously, "And when you came back, your face looked so good that I couldn't tell, as if you were about to cry out. , looks much better than usual, and when did my sister-in-law prepare this money? She shouldn’t have exchanged it so quickly, right? "

"Damn girl, even money can't stop your mouth!" Li Wan's cheeks were slightly red. Fortunately, she looked good now and wasn't worried about being exposed. "Don't forget that I only have 20 taels of monthly income. What's so weird about the balance? As for Ziyang, I want to discuss it with him and see when we can let you relax for another day!"

Sanchun's eyes lit up at the same time, and they excitedly discussed how to play. Naturally, they didn't bother to ask questions. However, Yingchun, the oldest, changed his face slightly after a moment. He looked at Li Wan slightly and quickly looked away, as if I've discovered something, but it seems like I haven't.
