Volume Three

3.67 seems really exciting
The guests and hosts enjoyed a banquet and ate heartily. After the matter of the Pingbei Army was agreed upon, everyone was relieved of their burdens. Naturally, everyone drank and drank. Although Zhou Yang thought he had a good drinker, he did not resist. A bunch of people toasted one after another, but eventually it was broken.

It was also at this time that he discovered that the information given by these people was not entirely true. For example, the battle situation of the Pingbei Army was actually a battle report sent directly to the Ministry of War. Of course, this battle report must not exist now; and For example, the Pingbei Army did have [-] elite soldiers with adequate food and pay, but the number they reported was [-] - one-third of their free pay.

Then there is the so-called "Jia Mansion hosted the banquet". To put it bluntly, the Beijing Prince's Mansion was at the forefront of the storm because of this battle report. It was really not suitable for making any big moves, so the Rongguo Mansion took the blame and issued another "Everyone" Everyone understands" invitations to invite various Wu Xun families to come over. On the one hand, it is naturally for discussion, and on the other hand, it is also a demonstration of strength.

When he woke up again, he found that he was already lying in the guest room of Jia Lian Yuan. He rubbed his temples that were still aching. Zhou Yang sat up on the edge of the bed and looked up at the darkening sky outside. I know I will stay in Rongguo Mansion again tonight.

"Master Zhou, are you awake?" Just as he was recovering in a daze, a soft cry came from outside the door, making him look up.

"Come in!" Zhou Yang rubbed his eyes and saw the maid who came last time pushing the door in with a basin towel and blessing him in front of him, "It turns out to be Sister Feng'er. This time I want to be here again." Trouble."

"Master Zhou is so polite, how dare you become a slave?" Feng'er smiled and put away the toiletries, and then said softly, "Do you want a slave to help me wash up?"

"No need, I can do it myself." Zhou Yang smiled and shook his head in refusal. This girl could only say that she passed the beauty standard, but that was it. There was no value in teasing. "Is Second Brother Lian back?"

"Back to Master Zhou, the Second Master drank a lot and is still lying down." Feng'er saw what Zhou Yang meant and resumed his normal position as master and servant, "Second Grandma has just finished finishing the banquet. Do you want me to let you know that Sister Ping'er is back?"

"Since I occupy someone else's room, how can I pretend to be deaf and mute?" Zhou Yang smiled and said while washing his face, "Go ahead and tell me. I will let Sister-in-law Lian arrange what happens next. I don't need you here. Waiting - by the way, do you know where the maid who came with me went?"

"Master Zhou is talking about Miss Qingwen? She is now in Grandma Zhu's courtyard, joking with some girls." Feng'er said with a smile, "And the big man who drove the carriage was also arranged in the outer courtyard. Master Zhou, don’t worry about the guest room.”

"Thank you, sister Feng'er." Zhou Yang picked up a towel to wipe off the water droplets, and threw a silver leaf over, "Take it and play."

"My slave, thank you Master Zhou for the reward!" Feng'er chuckled, turned around and left the room.

Zhou Yang also breathed a sigh of relief, rubbed his stomach that was still burning, and patted his head that was still buzzing. He shook his head with a wry smile. The banquet at noon was really a feast for the eyes. Others can say it was okay. The twelve eldest sons of the bastard, each of them offered a bowl of food, and they all wanted to do it first, so he couldn't even push it.

"Hey, Zhou Jinshi, you are a distinguished guest, why don't you even keep a maid to serve? But Feng'er's hoof is not suitable? I will sell her when I get back!" Just when I was thinking about what I had, I saw at the door A female voice with laughter has already been heard. It is naturally Wang Xifeng who has a habit of "hearing someone before seeing them", "Are you up? Is it convenient to come in?"

"Second sister-in-law Lian, you're welcome. This is our yard, so there's nothing inconvenient about it." Zhou Yang stood up with a smile, but before he could reach the door, Wang Xifeng had already opened the door and came in, "You men, You will die after seeing cat urine. How much did you drink? Lian Er is still holding up his body now. It would be best for you to wake up first!"

"I've met Sister-in-law Lian, I've met Sister Ping'er!" Zhou Yang smiled and cupped his hands, and then continued, "Brother Lian, I really don't know, when those bunch of dogs were drinking wine, none of them were there anymore. What do people mean by 'brotherhood'? Hiss - I still feel like I've been hit by a sap on the head, I guess I won't feel well today."

"You deserve it!" Wang Xifeng cursed angrily, then waved her hand back and said, "Ping'er, bring it over - I asked the small kitchen to prepare the sobering soup for Lian Er. I don't want those minions to miss it. , make more, and I’ll bring it to you, if you don’t drink it, you’ll fall down!”

"Thank you, Second Sister-in-law Lian!" Zhou Yang was a bit dumbfounded. Wang Xifeng had been carrying a gun and a stick since entering the door. She was obviously still angry about that time when she "accidentally touched her delicate hand". Of course, the same happened to the person in front of her, "Thank you Ping'er. Sister!" "I don't dare!" Ping'er saw him taking away the hangover soup and stood there without saying a word with a straight face. Zhou Yang didn't pay attention. He drank the hangover soup in a few gulps and handed the bowl to Ping'er. , if you take advantage of it, you will make a fortune in silence, and you will do it again and again only if you are mentally retarded, not to mention that now is not a good time.

"Okay, brother Zhou, let's rest!" Wang Xifeng probably finished venting his anger, and thought of the disadvantages of a man and a woman living alone in the same room. She waved her hand in an alluring manner, turned around and took Ping'er out of the room. Unexpectedly, Ping'er turned around again. , glared at him fiercely, but Zhou Yang took the opportunity to blow a kiss, making her blush and leave.

"By the way, the second sister-in-law will help send someone to my girl." Zhou Yang thought of Qingwen and said quickly. His original intention was to let his maid follow Li Wan, and she was familiar with her anyway.

"Brother Zhou, if you need it, just go find it yourself, giggle!" A string of cute smiles came, and Wang Xifeng continued to leave without looking back. She just added, "I almost forgot to say, tomorrow morning, Mr. My ancestor wants to see you, I will take you there when the time comes!"

"I know!" He shook his head speechlessly. Zhou Yang understood that this bitch was still angry. Li Wan was a widow. How could he openly come to ask for a maid? He was just looking for excitement.
Shaking his head to drive away some unrealistic thoughts, Zhou Yang returned to the bed and lay down diagonally. The aftereffects of drinking Duan Fian'er had not yet dissipated. At noon, his stomach was full of wine and he hardly ate much food; It's getting dark in the afternoon, and my stomach is already growling with hunger, but that girl Wang Xifeng hasn't sent yet—well, I take that back, Feng'er and another girl have already come outside the door with a tray each.

After eating and drinking, he asked someone to put away the tableware, and lay back on the big bed. Hearing the faint chatter and laughter coming from the main room in the courtyard, it should be Wang Xifeng, the master and the servant. Unfortunately, they are both here, and Ping'er must not be able to do anything. Fortunately, it was completely dark now. Zhou Yang looked at the empty courtyard. After turning off the lights and closing the door, he climbed over the wall and entered Li Wan Courtyard.

"Grrrr, grandma lost!" Unexpectedly, Suyun, who was sitting on the embroidered pier, laughed as soon as he arrived at the door of the main room. "The slave said that the young master couldn't bear it for long, and grandma said it would be later. What do you think now? Look, Come on, in the young master’s heart, grandma is still——cluck.”

"Damn it, so what if you win?" Li Wan lightly hit the maid, stood up with a smile, and took the coat that Zhou Yang had taken off, "You, you don't even show me any face, let Su Yun do this This girl is going crazy, she dares to laugh at her master!"

"Hehe, how dare you, slave?" Su Yun said she didn't dare, but took the initiative to "report" to Zhou Yang, "Sister Suyue fell asleep in the room, and the light was on in Uncle Xiaolan's room, but He usually doesn’t come out, so I’ll go over there right now and tell him not to stay up late anymore. After he’s rested, he can study hard tomorrow—keke!”

"Little hooves, I turned against you!" Zhou Yang pulled her over smoothly and gave her a long kiss before letting her go out. He turned around and hugged Li Wan tightly. "I'm really busy these days. Otherwise, it would have been early." It’s up to you later, why, you don’t go to the Li family’s old house now?”

"Hmph!" Li Wan glared at him, but took the initiative to cater to the strange hand that had slipped into his clothes. He narrowed his eyes and said, "It's not your fault. I have so much money now that the government thinks my store has made a lot of money. , so that I dare not bring up the matter of the door!"

"Well, that's okay?" Zhou Yang shook his head speechlessly. Zhou Yang really didn't know how to complain, "Is it possible that when Lan'er goes to study with me, I won't let him bring money anymore? That's no problem. Next time - Ouch!”

"You, just do it to me, a poor man!" He raised his hand and hit him, but let him fumble again and again, gradually falling into Ai Lang's arms. Li Wan did not forget to explain, "Lan'er has made rapid progress these days, thanks to Thank you for your hard work, but it’s a pity that I won’t be able to see Junior Brother Chu for the time being. Otherwise, I would definitely thank him properly.

In a few days, I will find an opportunity to go there again. Well, it just so happens that Lan'er is studying hard and making progress these days. I will go to the family temple to pray for him and burn incense. I also want to ask for a peace charm for him. I don't know if it is the same as last time. I pray for the blessing of the magic talisman, so that I can meet you, the devil star! "

"Yeah, I'm your magic star!" Zhou Yang smiled and hugged the girl tightly, bowed his head to savor it carefully, and the movements of his hands became bigger and bigger.
"Young Master..." A long voice with the smell of a thousand-year sauce vat interrupted the sweetness between the two. Qingwen, who was standing next to her but had been ignored, could no longer bear it and rushed to Zhou. There was a small fist next to Yang, "I almost couldn't find my way today. If Grandma Li hadn't been with me, I would have been lost!"

"Hey, girl Qing is here too?" Zhou Yang looked at the girl in front of him in surprise, then let go of Li Wan and said, "Why haven't you gone to bed yet? Aren't you tired after a long day of work? Oh, I remembered Yes, the palace judge brought you here today?"

"Ah!" Qingwen completely forgot about the superiority and inferiority of the upper and lower levels. She threw herself into Zhou Yang's arms with a violent hammer, and even squeezed Li Wan away. Amused.
