Chapter 225 4.21 Big brother Zhou, little sister also stay in Jiangnan

Volume Four

4.21 Brother Zhou, how about staying in Jiangnan too?

While Zhou Yang was busy handling various affairs of Xue Zihao, arranging handover matters, and helping Li Wan to pull the strings, time flew by and it was July [-]th in the blink of an eye. It was only after Qingwen reminded him that he remembered The invitation from the Zhongyuan Escort Bureau was received the day before yesterday.

This was because he made a request to the escort agency to have Zhao Yanling and Zhao Qiying escort his family members when he went south to take office. Therefore, Zhao Tianhao posted a post asking him for an interview. He also received a letter from Zhao Qiying in private, but it was because Zhao Tianhao knew that he and Zhao Qiying The relationship between the Xue family and the Xue family wanted to take the opportunity to persuade him to help connect people, so that he could at least participate in the Xue brand business.

"Master Zhou can come in person, Zhongyuan Escort Bureau will be in full bloom!" When he didn't want to wait for him to come to the door, he was greeted by the second master Yang Yunyi at the door. He also immediately explained the situation, "Please forgive me, my brother has already done it." We were prepared to welcome him, but unfortunately we picked up the urgent escort from Sitong Bank yesterday, so we had to leave overnight for Laojiu Province last night."

"Sitong Bank?" Zhou Yang frowned, "But in addition to those eight Shanxi merchants, other large-scale banks jointly funded and established? Why, something happened to the old jealous province?"

"Master Zhou, please forgive me. Let's not talk about the fact that the escort agency must keep clients confidential. This escort trip was handled by the elder brother. I really don't know the specific situation. Yang Yunyi really doesn't know." The second master smiled bitterly and clasped his fists, "I'm just talking here, even the etiquette is gone. Forgot—Master Zhou, please!”

The matter was not serious at first, so Zhou Yang came over alone on a sweat horse. Since Yang Yunyi greeted him, he had no reason to refuse. The two of them talked and laughed all the way, and soon entered the main hall of the escort agency, but saw the chief in the middle. Both the seats below were empty. A tall man with a beard stood in the second seat below. The three sisters of the Zhao family stood in front of the seat below him, which was obviously a welcome etiquette.

"Mr. Escort Yang is so polite!" Zhou Yang smiled and nodded, in response to Yang Yunyi's kindness, and sat down at the guest seat. After that, the five people from the Zhongyuan Escort Bureau sat down one after another, showing their high quality.

"Master Zhou, I wonder how long it will take for you to take office this time? To tell you the truth, although these three girls are young, they are really indispensable for the escort agency." As soon as everyone sat down, the bearded man said eagerly, "If it takes too long if."

"Ahem!" Yang Yunyi glared at him, interrupted the next complaint, and then turned to Zaiyang and said apologetically, "Please forgive me, Mr. Zhou. Although the third brother is more straightforward, what he said was not a lie. There are many nobles and women in the capital, and there are often many escort businesses that cannot be turned down, which requires the three sisters to work hard."

"Normally speaking, there is a time limit for my appointment. If I leave in August, I will definitely take office before the end of the month. Plus the time for the two girls to return, I think two months at most will be enough." Zhou Yang smiled. He said that he was not lying. If Zhao Qiying returned normally, the time would indeed be like this.

"If that's the case -" Yang Yunyi thought about it for a while, but chose to agree, "There should be no problem. It's just that the journey is long and the time is long. The money required for the escort is just..."

"What do Mr. Yang think?" Zhou Yang smiled and handed over ten hundred-liang votes. Well, it was considered a betrothal gift.

"Lord Zhou, let's be open!" Yang Yunyi smiled slightly, and the third child Lei Dagang already laughed and stepped forward to take it, "Please rest assured, since the Zhongyuan Escort Bureau has accepted the escort and accepted the escort money, it will protect you even if you risk your life. , even if it fails, the people from the escort agency will only die in front of Mr. Zhou!"

"I've heard a lot about the reputation of the Zhongyuan Escort Agency, so I guess it's not a problem." Zhou Yang smiled and nodded, "It's just that I said this ugly thing before. I also have a martial arts background, and I think I have some skills, but I don't know What is the strength of the escort agency? After all, I have spent a lot of money, so I naturally want to see satisfactory results."

"This -" Yang Yunyi looked confused, "I wonder how your Excellency is going to judge?"

"Second Uncle, since Yan Ling and I are the escorts, what Mr. Zhou wants to see is of course our skills." Unexpectedly, Zhao Qiying had already taken up the conversation with a smile, and looked at Zhou Yang after speaking, "Although the Central Plains Escort Bureau It’s not big, but there is a place for martial arts performances. It just so happened that my father took most of the people to Laojiu Province yesterday, how about letting my little sister show off?"

"Oh, little girl, what are you causing trouble?" Lei Dagang said anxiously.

"Okay, Miss Zhao is indeed as good as a woman, and she speaks quickly!" Zhou Yang responded with a smile, "We will discuss behind closed doors according to the rules. There are only three people present, and no additional news will be spread. These two Should the chief escort be relieved?"

"That's the case - that's fine." Yang Yunyi thought over and over again, but found no problem, and finally nodded in agreement.

The Zhongyuan Escort Bureau is actually divided into two parts. One is the main courtyard on the east side, which is where my family stays and receives reception; and the martial arts arena on the west side. The two parts are about the same size, but if compared separately, they are smaller than Zhou Zhou. One of the courtyards in our family yard is slightly larger, which is very good in the capital where land is at a premium.The martial arts performance field is surrounded by tall poplar trees, and there are dense shrubs and green plants or bamboos against the walls. In the middle is a bright bluestone pavement. The entire martial arts performance field is except for a lounge and a weapons shed in the northeast corner. , there are no other buildings - obviously, this does not match the "Jinling Zhongyuan Escort Bureau" in Zhou Yang's memory, nor does it match the buildings in the original work.

Since it was a "closed-door competition", the few people in the martial arts arena were naturally kicked out. Soon only Zhao Qiying and Zhao Yanling were left, plus Zhou Yang and the other three, looking at the two sisters in front of them. With a smile on his face, Zhou Yang knew that they had understood what he meant.

"Sister, what do you think, little sister, in today's martial arts arena, there is no need for one more heat, only two are enough?" Zhao Yanling looked at the two people who were already looking at each other affectionately, and deliberately teased, "How about that? , little sister, go out now, so as not to be an eyesore here?"

"Naughty!" Zhou Yang went up and patted her head gently, and then said to Zhao Qiying with a smile, "Today is just an opportunity. I have been practicing hard these days. I really want to see how good my skills are. Can I still only do this?" Relying on strength to bully you."

"Oh, you guys have some shame -" Zhao Yanling next to her had already covered her eyes, and just looking at the gap between her open fingers was enough to pass an eagle, "Little sister, you better not be an eyesore here!"

"Damn girl!" Zhao Qiying gently pushed someone away and went up to tap her sister's forehead, "Forget it, there's no need to fight. I'll bring you a pot of tea. Anyway, I know your strength and skills. If we really fight, you will definitely fight. But—Yan Ling, you and Brother Zhou go over there to have a rest, and I’ll just say it’s for discussion when I go out.”

Watching Zhao Qiying go out, Zhou Yang looked at Zhao Yanling, who still had a teasing look on his face, and went up to ruffle her hair angrily. Then looking at her furious expression, strange thoughts came to his mind, but he remembered the step-by-step story in the original work. The rookie approached the "Third Miss of the Zhao Family" who was a heroine in the world of martial arts.

"You are just dishonest." Zhou Yang smiled and gave her a slap on the nose, "It's not like you don't know about Qiying and I. After going south this time, I have no intention of letting her come back and continue to work hard. You have been working hard in the world; when the time comes, everything in this escort agency will have to rely on you to support it. I have also met your second sister, and judging from her personality, she is not the material to stand alone."

"Eldest sister wants to stay south of you? That's fine. Anyway, my father has agreed to let the second sister and Mr. Cai get married." Zhao Yanling's expression was a little downcast, but she slowly regained her composure and raised her head to look at someone. , his eyes became extremely firm, "Is it just the eldest sister?"

"Huh?" Looking at the pretty face in front of him, the thoughts in Zhou Yang's heart became more and more difficult to control. He lowered his head slowly but resolutely. He only saw Zhao Yanling's cheeks gradually turning red, but he did not dodge, but gently She closed her eyes lightly and let the big face approaching in front of her touch her face.

He couldn't help it anymore, lowered his head and pressed it heavily, plundering the sweetness in her mouth without reservation, forcing her to give everything to him to taste, until the little fool in his arms became suffocated because he forgot to breathe, he didn't stop. He was willing to let go of the girl and looked at the shy but determined girl affectionately.

"Brother Zhou, is it okay for my little sister to stay in Jiangnan?" Although Zhao Yanling lowered her head in shame, she still continued to ask in a voice as loud as a mosquito, "I don't want to be separated from my eldest sister."

"Just because of this?" Even though he was completely sure of the girl's feelings, Zhou Yang still teased her deliberately, hoping that she would say it herself.

"Huh, what else? Anyway, I don't care, don't be separated from the eldest sister!" Zhao Yanling pushed him away, blushed and ran to the wall, and jumped over the wall with a neat move, "I will give you a favor today, The younger sister doesn’t want to make the elder sister unhappy!”

"Where's Yan Ling?" After watching the graceful figure disappear, Zhou Yang was thinking about something, when Zhao Qiying's greeting came from behind him, "This girl, didn't I ask her to accompany you to take a rest?"

"I just said a few words to her, and she ran away from there." Zhou Yang was a little embarrassed, and quickly pointed to the outer wall to cover up a few words, then bolted the door and pulled her towards the lounge, "Okay , Ignore her, we haven’t seen each other for a few days, and we finally have a chance to be together."

"Brother Zhou!" Zhao Qiying naturally saw what he meant, and let him pull him into the room to put down the tea tray, but she blushed and pushed him away, saying, "There are all familiar brothers in this escort agency. If they see something, Is my little sister still alive? People in the world are very discerning, even if there are more wrinkles on their clothes, they might be exposed, so you can’t think about my little sister!”

"Then -" Zhou Yang pondered for a moment, lowered his head and bit the girl's ear and muttered a few words, while resisting more than a dozen punches in a row, "Good sister, don't you want to?"

"My hair can't be messed up!" Zhao Qiying's cheeks were flushed, and she let Ailang skillfully untie her and put it aside, she still didn't forget to hide her ears, "Go out later, um, go out from the west wall, don't let others see , let alone that damn girl Yan Ling see it, otherwise I will be teased by her again!"

"Don't worry, you won't mess up your hair if you're up there."
