Volume Three

3.103 Brother Zhou, I don’t want to be a concubine.
Here, Zhou Yang strode around Mrs. Wang's courtyard and returned to the VIP room courtyard along the passage along the east wall, but when he was still outside the courtyard, he heard the chatter and laughter inside, and they were all very familiar.

"Hey, let me tell you, Brother Zhou can't go back so early. The government must arrange for him to take a nap and sober up before leaving!" As soon as he entered the door, he saw a petite figure jumping up. Pointing at him and laughing, "Where else can there be a suitable place for Brother Zhou in this mansion? Have I guessed it?"

"Hey, the fourth sister finally guessed it right. Let's give her a reward and praise her!" Then a very familiar female voice followed. Zhou Yang knew who it was without even looking, because he was familiar with this person. Every voice said, "If she doesn't make trouble with her ancestors, outsiders may think that we are bullying her."

"Sister-in-law, you are not a good person either!" Xichun was obviously anxious.

"Okay, my silly sister, didn't Sister Qingwen leave too? Brother Zhou can't leave her alone, can he?" Tanchun smiled and stepped forward to hug the fourth sister, "And just now we left our ancestors. Before there, did Sister Yuanyang forget what she told Sister Qingwen? After that, we went here directly with Sister Qingwen, so why guess?"

"Giggle-"

"I've met all the sisters!" Zhou Yang smiled and cupped his hands. Except for Shi Xiangyun, many of the girls in front of him were there. He didn't ask any more questions, but just joked with a smile, "How dare I bother you to come here? , What a sin!”

"Hey, you haven't learned anything else, but you have learned some exquisite naughty things!" Li Wan threw a cushion under him to Zhou Yang with a coquettish look on his face, not caring that this approach was a bit too intimate, "Finally, I can I'm here to meet you. Last time and this time I got so many gifts from you. I know I can't help you much. Isn't it right to come and say thank you in person?"

"Master, drink tea!" As she was saying this, Qingwen had already poured a cup of herbal tea and brought it over, "I knew you were going to drink a lot, so I had someone prepare a pot of herbal tea for you to drink to relieve your anger. "

"Okay!" Zhou Yang drank it in one gulp and breathed a sigh of relief. He handed the cup to Qingwen and then said to Li Wan and Sanchun, "It's just a little care to say thank you or not. You can keep it. If you still If it’s not enough, just think of a way to send it to me and I’ll make sure you’re satisfied!”

"Thank you, Brother Zhou!" Yingchun said in a low voice. When Zhou Yang looked over at the sound, he immediately blushed and lowered his head, and he did not dare to say any more.

"You, what else don't you dare to say to your brother Zhou?" Li Wan smiled and stroked Yingchun's head, looked at Zhou Yang and said, "Drink water slowly, if you choke, it will not be comfortable; besides, this Who made you drink like this at the banquet in the house? You smell like alcohol and you're so drunk, but you still don't let sister Qingwen help you change your clothes?"

"How can I, a grown man, be as coquettish as you?" Zhou Yang drank the herbal tea in his hand again. He thought the tea bowl was too small, so he simply took the teapot from Qingwen's hand and drank half of it in one go. Then I felt a lot more comfortable, "Let's not say that it's hard to refuse Uncle Zheng's banquet. I didn't bring any change of clothes when I came here. Let's talk about it when I get home!"

"My little sister heard about the way of drinking tea. One cup is a taste, two cups is a thirst-quenching stupid thing, and three cups is like a cow's drink. Brother Zhou just drank half the pot in one go. I don't know if it is a cup of tea. Which way should I count it? ?" Tan Chun didn't forget to joke, but as soon as he finished speaking, he saw someone slap his hand in the air, and he screamed in fright and hid behind Li Wan.

"Don't scare people!" Li Wanmei glared and asked someone to put down their hands honestly. Then she said with a smile, "Just take care of them. Don't be too arrogant. When you give gifts in the future, just choose something delicious and fun. It’s just a small thing for my son, but the coral pearls this time are too expensive, so I know you don’t need them, so I begged my ancestor and allowed her to accept them.”

"What are these? They're just gadgets." Zhou Yang smiled and waved his hands. Coral and pearls and the like have already become civilian items in modern times. Thank you?"

"These three girls are all in the ancestor's courtyard. They have just eaten. Yuanyang has already gone to bed, leaving only Yun girl to accompany her." Li Wan said with a smile, "These three girls were afraid of making noise, so I took them with them. When they came out, they were originally going to rest in my courtyard, but the fourth sister happened to mention it, so I brought them over to meet them.

Now that we have met, it is naturally inconvenient to stay longer. Sister Qingwen, please bring these two little ones to my yard and give them to Suyun to take care of them and sleep. My second sister and I still have a few words to say. Please feel free to stay there and rest together, your young master will take care of you. "

"Ah?" Yingchun was obviously unprepared and looked at Li Wan with a confused look on his face.

"Thank you for taking care of me, sister-in-law. When you go back later, don't think we are noisy." Tan Chun turned his head slightly, his eyes paused on Yingchun and Zhou Yang, and then he vaguely guessed something, and immediately pulled Qingwen and Xichun to laugh. Then he went out, "Brother Zhou, please be careful, don't bully the second sister." Now "Er Mumu" also guessed what Li Wan meant, and his face immediately turned red. When she stood up to leave, she was stopped by Li Wan again. Wan held it down with a smile, and had no choice but to lie shyly in his sister-in-law's arms, unable to say a word; but looking at her slightly trembling shoulders and her face that was red to the base of her neck, she was naturally very uneasy at the moment.

"Sister-in-law Gong, what do you mean by this?" Zhou Yang watched the three girls go out. After confirming that Qingwen had brought them to the door, he glared at the little widow angrily and put on a charming smile. Fortunately, Yingchun had already fallen asleep at this time. Being an ostrich in Li Wan's arms, there are no outsiders in the courtyard, so there is no need to worry about problems.

"You have no conscience to forget what I mentioned before?" Li Wan glared at someone, gently caressed Yingchun's back and said, "Is it possible that the second sister has wronged you? Although she is a concubine, she She is also a girl from the Duke's residence, you have met her, and her temperament is even more gentle and pleasant. Now that you have been appointed as an official, the back house has always been so empty?"

"Then, what do you mean?" Zhou Yang glanced at Yingchun, who had no courage to look up, and simply got up to sit on the same couch with Li Wan, and took her left hand to play with, "It's not that you don't know, Bao and I sister already"

"It's not difficult to talk to the eldest master, but a large amount of money is indispensable." When Li Wan said this, he obviously felt his arms stiffen. "As for the Xue family sister, you don't have to worry. After all, the eldest master is easy to talk to. If you can discuss it, , it’s not difficult to solve the problem, I watched this girl grow up, if she marries a stranger, I’m afraid she will be bullied.”

"You!" Zhou Yang always felt that she was hinting at something, but he couldn't figure it out. He simply pulled her gently into his arms, tasting the sweetness of their lovers, and then let go after a while. This kind of "sneaking in front of your face" method , but it made the two of them feel more at ease, "Then how are you sure that I won't bully the second sister?"

"This girl is too soft-tempered. She's going to be bullied to death anyway. It's better to take advantage of you, a cruel and short-lived person." Li Wan simply pushed Yingchun into Zhou Yang's arms, stood up with a smile and said, "Well, this kind of thing is yours alone. Tell me, how can I, an outsider, explain it clearly? Don’t worry, I will persuade the ancestors to keep you for one night, just saying that I don’t want to let go of that girl Qingwen."

"How can you deceive your own sister like this?" Zhou Yang couldn't laugh or cry at all. Yingchun in his arms was completely frightened, and she collapsed on him as soft as if she had no bones. She had no intention of resisting at all, because of this kind of This level of contact would have been classified as "loss of virginity" in the feudal era. "Besides, this matter of marriage is not a child's play, how can it be so?"

"Where do you have the nerve to say this?" Li Wan rolled his eyes at Zhou Yang charmingly, trying to remind him of his first experience with Ai Lang. He glanced at Yingchun again to confirm that she was still trembling. She was buried in his arms, unable to see anything, and then she gently bent down and bit his ear, saying in a voice like a bee, "You must not touch her!"

Watching Li Wan leave, Zhou Yang had a strange expression on his face. This little widow had changed a lot in the past two years since he was half-forced to enjoy her at the Chengxi Tavern. She was no longer the almost "dead and dead tree" she was when they first met. Instead, she has truly recovered her true nature as a young woman in her early twenties step by step, exuding more and more aura like peonies in full bloom day by day.

It sounds complicated, but in fact it is not difficult to understand. If she had continued following the "path" of Rong Guofu, as her status declined step by step and her future became confused, especially as Jia Lan became "little transparent" step by step, In the end, he will still use all means to obtain resources for his son as in the original work.

The result is that the whole person's personality is like a "dead and rotten tree", even cold and weak, and Jia Lan has gradually become "a lonely person" - now of course it is a different situation. As Jia Lan learns and improves, she herself is not short of money. Silver things are also nourished by a lover, and her temperament is naturally sunny and cheerful. She has to pretend to be in the Jia family, but in front of her own man, she is a real "young woman with good intentions".

"Brother Zhou." He was just thinking about this when the girl in his arms reminded him of his current state with a trembling voice, "Can you let me go first?"

"Second sister, you heard my sister-in-law's proposal just now. Let me ask here, are you willing?" Knowing Yingchun's weak and weak character, Zhou Yang simply went straight to the point and made the topic clear, "First of all, I will never If I leave Baochai, neither the relationship between the two of us nor the favor I received from the Xue family will allow me to leave."

"Then - who am I?" Yingchun's expression froze, and then she burst into tears, "What do you think Brother Zhou thinks of me?"

"I will find Uncle Jia to resolve our matter." Zhou Yang said unceremoniously, "You just have to wait for the day when you can be the front door of my Zhou family. Also, don't worry about Baochai, she is a very good person." People you get along with; don’t worry about choosing the wrong person, because I will let you understand that your sacrifice today is the most correct decision in your life!”

"Brother Zhou, I don't want to be a concubine!" Yingchun hesitated for a moment. No matter how weak-tempered she was, she still knew the huge differences between wives and concubines. "I don't want to make it difficult for the Xue family's sister. Why don't you let me go?" good--"

"You just need to wait to be my little slave. Don't think about anything else!" Zhou Yang lowered his head and kissed her for a long time. He didn't let go until the soft girl in his arms was obviously depressed. There was no need to discuss the marriage with her anyway. Just ask his father, "Also, I'm not asking you to agree, I'm just telling you!"
