4.36 Call me brother-in-law and give up Jiangnan temporarily

"Brother Zhou!" As soon as he returned to the bedroom, Zhao Yanling said nervously, "We..."

"Fool!" Zhou Yang gently held her in his arms and sat on the edge of the bed. "You sisters have lived together since childhood. How can you hide anything from each other? Let's not talk about the daily exchanges between you and me. Inadvertently, we don't get along. Proper behavior, just say that when you were drinking just now, did you ever care that I used the wine bottle?"

"I'm sorry, eldest sister!" Zhao Yanling's expression stiffened, and her eyes were red as she leaned into Zhou Yang's arms, "Brother Zhou, actually eldest sister mentioned it at the beginning, and she didn't mind if Yan Ling followed, but I didn't have much at the time. I think I just felt shy, because I didn’t have much contact with my eldest brother at that time, and I didn’t miss him much, but I still remember the first time we met in a pub, and you actually fell in love with my eldest sister.”

"Humph, back then I was thrown to the face by Qiying and was completely disgraced. Now that I have the opportunity, why don't I take revenge?" Zhou Yang deliberately made a vicious expression, but it was obviously not frightening. The girl inside.

"Brother Zhou, if you want to take revenge, it's up to you. Anyway, since you've been involved in this life, you can naturally let him do whatever you want." Zhao Yanling glanced at him faintly, not paying attention to this matter, "I'm afraid the eldest sister has already dated the eldest brother. ?Since we have cut off our retreat, we are not prepared to have any other ideas."

Zhou Yang was stunned at this time. Most of his impressions of Miss Zhao San came from the modern TV series. But according to the performance in the TV series, whether it was her cuteness at the beginning or her subsequent After gradually growing up, the Jianghu heroine should not behave like a "gloomy girl".

"Yanling, I know I'm sorry for you, I will do my best to let you live a better life." Gently hugging the girl tightly, Zhou Yang asked worriedly, "Now I am wronging you to be my Concubine room, or with."

"With the eldest sister, you followed a man?" Zhao Yanling raised her head slightly, showing a heart-wrenching smile, "I heard that eldest brother Zhou returned from overseas, and he didn't know many of Zhou's rules. Now it seems , I'm afraid that my eldest brother may have misunderstood me and my eldest sister.

The Zhongyuan Escort Bureau looks at the world and can be called one of the most powerful escort bureaus. However, in the final analysis, it is just a prostitute, so how can it win the attention of noble people?The heroine of Jianghu sounds glamorous, but in fact she is just forced by life. In the end, she cannot escape the blind date, marriage, husband and children. "

"Then it's not so aggrieved, right?" Zhou Yang asked curiously, "With your current status, even if you marry, you should be a hero in the world, and you won't be like those ordinary girls."

"What's wrong?" Zhao Yanling smiled softly, with a mischievous look on her face, "Based on what Brother Zhou thinks, shouldn't we get involved with some heroes and heroines, traveling around the world, etc.? My good brother, he is just an outsider. It's just a misunderstanding. In the world of martial arts, how many people can really start well and end well?
It is those so-called 'big families' who secretly surrendered to the court in exchange for not being liquidated; those so-called 'rich families' who are not big local families with contiguous fields and houses, their stable inheritance does not rely on the so-called "Experts" help the government stabilize the place, secure rents and taxes, and train their own children to enter the court, both civil and military. "

"Is it so exaggerated?" Zhou Yang said stupidly, which reminded him of the modern times when he saw all kinds of dark analysis of Jianghu, and the famous "The Swordsman", "Isn't there anything better? For example, the young hero of Jianghu counterattacked and rose to power. , and become a peerless master recognized by the world?"

"What kind of master can be higher than the imperial court?" Zhao Yanling said angrily, "The so-called 'No. [-] in the world' can only fight with dozens of soldiers at most, and it's not necessarily who will win; On the battlefield, their combat power would never be greater than the horse-breaking sword in Brother Zhou's hand.

Jianghu heroes can't escape being a hawk; Jianghu women, in the end, most of them want to join a wealthy family. As far as the escort agency is concerned, my father only has three sisters and we. The original plan was for one person to get married and the two of them get married. The Cai family is one of them. , but now the situation has changed, the Cai family has declined, and the second sister is considered a bride.

My eldest sister and I now have Brother Zhou taking care of us. From now on, the escort agency will be able to avoid most of the problems from the court. If the elder brother can reach a higher level in the future, maybe one day the escort agency will be able to get rid of all kinds of right and wrong and become the so-called The 'Martial Arts Family' is enough to make most of our comrades envious. "

"Is that so?" Zhou Yang felt like he was "ruining the three views."

"Otherwise?" Zhao Yanling smiled mischievously, arched her arms in Ai Lang's arms, and found a more comfortable position, "Speaking of which, I would like to thank Brother Zhou for taking care of me. A few days ago, I traveled across half of the capital and recruited twenty women. The master has sent them into a wealthy family. Even if they come out again in the future, it will be easier for them to find a better family.

With this 'business', all the escort bureaus in the capital thought that we had found a backer. In addition, my eldest sister and I happened to be with Brother Zhou. Even if our affairs were spread in the future, it would only make the escort bureaus more stable. ;Also, Yan Ling does have selfish motives, I just hope that my eldest brother will not dislike her."

"Hey, I'm so sad. I thought I was infinitely charming!" Zhou Yang made a painful gesture of hugging his chest while sitting down, and "thrown" the girl out, "I'm so sincere."

"Humph!" Zhao Yanling was not stupid. She gave someone a gentle hammer and then threw herself into Ai Lang's arms again. "Brother Zhou is so shameless. How could he accept his sister and then tease her? It was me and the eldest sister who made the move. I'm just letting you bully me now. If it had been when I had just entered the world and didn't understand anything, I would have drawn my sword and fight you to the death!" "I will fight with you right now!" Someone completely " Angry from shame."

after a long time
"Brother Zhou, please let the little sister go. After all, the eldest sister has not crossed the road yet. How about you just save some face for us sisters?" Zhao Yanling whispered for mercy.

"Actually, I prefer you to call me brother-in-law." Someone said.

"Brother-in-law—"

At the same time, in the capital, Guo Mansion.

"Has it reached this point over there?" Princess Youchang leaned lazily on the couch, listening to the report of the commander of her bodyguards with a calm expression, "It seems that my father's guess is right, that Zhang Xun is indeed not Honest, for the sake of money, he indulges his position so much; it’s not entirely his fault, originally he had a good future, but now he can only work hard to become an official, and he can’t be honest no matter what."

"Princess, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to arrange manpower and footholds in Linqing as originally planned." Dongfang Bing frowned and said, "Ziyang agreed to help, but as he said, we cannot continue to expand. Now the territory that Gyeonggi extends to the north has reached its limit.”

"Now it seems that I am afraid that I have to give up Jiangnan for the time being." Princess Yongchang said as if she felt very sad, but just seeing him easily picking up a lychee and the mango cut plate next to it, there was no pressure at all. "Then let's do this for now, wait until your guy gets up, and then see if we can get him to help."

"Princess!" Dongfang Bing finished reporting his work and snatched the lychee fruit plate from the table angrily. He moved the embroidered pier and sat down by himself. "Jiangnan has always been controlled by the Supreme Emperor. The Zhen family is now known as 'the first family in Jiangnan.' , where can outsiders be allowed to intervene? Besides, His Majesty has no arrangements in Jiangnan, and isn’t he now ready to take action on the salt administration?”

"Zhen family, hum!" Princess Yongchang sneered disdainfully, "I'm just a mere slave, do you really think you're a person? Father, it's true. I can't forget the kindness of Aunt Zhen, but that doesn't mean I can indulge this ignorant person. Damn it, Zhen Yingjia lost millions in the household department, it was indeed because of her father's southern tour, which was not something that could not be discussed.

But what has he done now?How much money did you get for yourself under the guise of making up for your shortfall?I used to report on the corrupt salt administration all day long, but now I don’t mention it. Isn’t it because I also benefited from it?I don’t know where he got such an abundant supply of goods, but he even flattered the eight companies in Yangzhou who didn’t know how to die! "

"Princess, could it be that it was also the work of the Xue family?" Dongfang Bing paused and said, "In the past, my subordinates would never believe that someone could supply unlimited amounts of salt, so that Gyeonggi and Beidi Most of the salt roads are in the hands of the princess."

"Then you might as well say that the Xue family controls all the salt fields in the world." Princess Yongchang said angrily, "It's not like I haven't heard that most of the Zhen family's salt road is used for transportation by the Xue family's fleet. It's not surprising. , as long as the Zhen family asks for it, the Xue family has no guts to refuse, and they may not even dare to ask for money."

"What about now? We can't just leave Linqing alone, right?" Dongfang Bing said with a frown.

"Just stick to the original plan. Since Zhang Xun is no longer useful, I think the emperor doesn't mind if one of his own comes up." Princess Yongchang said calmly, "Don't be in a hurry. We will take down the snow-branded pavements along the canal step by step. First, stabilize the foundation." Okay; I will report the matter and let Dai Quan and Zhao Quan take the front line."

"Yes, princess!"

"You damn hooves, put down the fruit plate. That's all the food your guy brought has not been eaten yet. Even the palace has no stock. No matter how much honor you have, you won't be able to find it!"

"Farewell, subordinate!"

"You hoof, come back to me!"
