4.37 You are so heartless

No matter how long the journey is, it will come to an end. Even though Zhou Yang deliberately slowed down his speed in order to take the girls to play, which made the three girls almost melt, they still arrived in Jinling on the morning of August 21st and arranged for the people below to carry the gifts. After collecting the supplies, Zhou Yang directly unloaded the carriages and sweat horses from another transport ship, took the girl and rushed to the Xue family's house as quickly as possible.

"Why is Ziyang coming so late?" Even after having picked up Zhou Yang and the others into the living room of the main courtyard, Wang Shuying still felt like she was in a fog, "I heard a message from Zhang Dehui saying that you had already set off on the sixth day of the lunar new year. , I thought I should have arrived a few days ago, but I didn’t see anyone until now, over at the pier."

"Don't worry, madam. It's not like we didn't bring some people. If we don't catch it, we won't catch it. What's the point?" Zhou Yang stopped her with a smile, "Besides, the men I brought will carry some of them and salute them. Remember to give them to us." Just arrange a place to live; also, I am going to Daye to take up my post this time, and I have a lot of things to deal with in the city."

"It doesn't matter, since I received the message from Zhang Dehui, that idiot, I have sent someone to send the message to my second uncle (Xue Xun). I believe he has already prepared the things you listed originally; and then there are these three girls. "Wang Shuying said with a smile, "I think the youngest one should be the girl Qingwen who is following me, but I don't know who these two are."

"Madam, please forgive me, I forgot to introduce you." Zhou Yang smiled and pointed to the Zhao sisters and said, "These are the two sisters from the Zhao family of the Zhongyuan Escort Agency, and they are also my confidante, Qiying and Yan Ling. They are with me this time. Let's go to Daye to take office together"

"Come to think of it, they are all Bao Yatou's sisters, right?" Wang Shuying's expression became much calmer, and her tone also changed obviously, "Ziyang just arranges it, Zhongyuan Escort Bureau? At least we had dealings with him when the master was still there. , I’ve heard that Mr. Zhao has three Qianjin heads, should they be two of them?”

"Zhao Qiying (Yan Ling) has met Mrs. Xue!" The Zhao sisters were obviously nervous.

"Okay, madam, please ask someone to arrange a place for them to live first - well, as long as it is arranged near my small courtyard." Zhou Yang heard what Wang Shuying meant and knew that he had to "explain the situation", "Qiying, Yan Ling, just follow this Tongfu girl and go to the guest room first, there will be a place for you there, don’t worry, I’ll take care of everything!”

Tongfu stood up nervously and agreed, but then looked at Wang Shuying. After confirming that she had nothing to say, he nodded to the three girls and led the way out of the living room. Zhou Yang gave the girls a "be patient" look. , motioning for them to leave first.

"You are so heartless!" When the three girls had just left the main courtyard and the door was not even closed, Wang Shuying had already stood up suddenly and rushed into Zhou Yang's arms. More than three months passed, and apart from a few pages of waste paper, I could only think: I finally came here, but I brought three more women with me!

Not to mention my old and burnt roll, what do you think?I know you are different now, you are a master with an official status, but when we made the decision, why didn't you talk much?Now that we are here, is there any reason to bring a concubine to Yue's house?How much do you despise——"

Wang Shuying's performance made Zhou Yang dumbfounded, but he was also relieved to realize that his arrival had truly brought many gratifying changes to the people around him.

In the original work, when she "entered Jia's house", her title had become "Aunt Xue". Wang Shuying, who was born in the 16th year of Longwu and was no more than forty years old, had a smooth personality, a sweet talk, everything was fine, and she did not offend anyone, but she also She has shown her ability as the mistress of everyone many times, but unfortunately at that time, both the Xue family and the Jia family were in a hopeless situation.

Now it is only the 49th year of Longwu. The young widow, who is just in her early thirties, has not experienced any substantial crisis under the protection of Zhou Yang. Her personality is in line with the characteristics of a young housewife, and she has even regained some "girlishness". In addition, Not to mention, today's practice of "throwing into her arms to act coquettishly and hit others" would probably last throughout her life, and would only be revealed in front of her own family.

"Good boy, aren't I doing this for a better life?" Therefore, Zhou Yang suppressed Wang Shuying's "anger" with a long kiss, gently held her in his arms and sweetly said, "Besides, I worked hard in the north, and I didn't feel sorry for your mother. both"

"What the hell are you talking about?" Wang Shuying's cheeks were red with embarrassment, but she still kept beating someone as if she was hiding her ears.

"Qiying has been in charge of the Zhongyuan Escort Bureau for many years. Looking at the world, she can be called a heroine among women." Zhou Yang gently stroked the young woman's back and smiled, "Now that she has followed me, she will definitely be able to provide a lot of help in the future; not to mention Xue If a trade caravan travels around the world, it must be accompanied by escorts, right? Having a more reliable escort force will also help your own business, right?"

"What do you mean, from now on, all the escort business will be handed over to the Zhongyuan Escort Bureau?" Wang Shuying reacted very quickly in this regard, fully worthy of her role as the mistress of everyone, "Not to mention that we also have a cooperative escort agency now. If I remember correctly, the Zhongyuan Escort Bureau is in the capital, right? Do you have to go so far every time to place an order?" "What's the point? If Mr. Zhao knew that he could cooperate with Xue Zihao, let him move directly Coming to Jinling is nothing." Zhou Yang said with a smile, but he remembered that the Zhongyuan Escort Bureau in the original work was originally in Jinling City. "Even if we take ten thousand steps back, we have made a condition and they will not agree. It doesn’t matter, the worst case scenario is giving up this business.”

"That's okay." Wang Shuying thought about it for a moment, and finally nodded, "Since it's your decision, I won't object. If you can have a reliable escort agency, you can save yourself a lot of trouble; and Yes, how long can you stay here this time? I specifically asked that the civil and military scholars who were awarded the title in that year usually take office at the end of August."

"Thank you for your hard work." Zhou Yang kissed the young woman passionately and deeply, and finally let go after a long while. Although it was just a small inquiry for information, in fact, the Xue family did not need it at all. Inquiries could only be made to families with imperial background. Typical It sounds easy but is difficult to do. "You are right, but don't worry too much. You will still have at least ten days."

"That's good!" She breathed a sigh of relief, and Wang Shuying took the initiative to hold down Ai Lang's fussing, "Don't worry, since they are here, I, the master, should at least go and have a look, at least I can't let them laugh at me for not being well received; When the girl comes to the house, it’s best to entertain her. After all, they will all be Bao Yatou’s sisters in the future, so the family shouldn’t have to live apart.”

"You, you just think too much." Zhou Yang smiled and gave the young woman a slap in the face. Listening to what she said about "entertainment", it was actually more to "show identity" in the past. "What are the guest rooms in this mansion like? I Is it still unclear? Qiying and Yan Ling can just stay here, can I still be worried?"

"Qiying, Yan Ling." Wang Shuying looked at him quietly, her tone was somber, "It makes people feel friendly, but it's a pity that I am not blessed enough that I can't even be called by my name."

"Shuying!" Zhou Yang gently held the young woman's head, and slowly leaned over and whispered, biting her ear, but the young woman froze, "I'm afraid you forgot, I called your name, and, more than once in the in your ear"

"Don't say it!" Wang Shuying quickly pushed her away and turned away with her cheeks slightly red. Of course she would not forget when her name was called repeatedly, "Go over there and see the two girls first. , I’ll change my clothes and go over.”

"What's there to change? What you're wearing now is enough for them to wear for half a lifetime." Zhou Yang said angrily, but found that the young woman's face was already as red as blood, and it spread directly to the root of her neck. , and then he had a weird expression and laughed after a little exploration, "Don't be shy, I like you like this - Ouch!"

But it was Wang Shuying who stepped on someone's instep. When she wanted to escape, she was hugged tightly by Ai Lang. Seeing that she couldn't break free, she had to cover her face and act like an ostrich.

"You just like to abuse people, how can you be so unyielding?" I don't know how long it took before she was helpless and let someone hold her. She wanted to hit him but she didn't have the strength. She just wanted to stab him to death with her eyes, "Obviously Everyone has already - but you still keep asking about Bao Yatou, it must be intentional, just to let others know."

"What are you talking about? Didn't I ask about the situation?" Zhou Yang hugged her tightly with a smile, and did not forget to say sweet words, "Besides, conscience of heaven and earth, you said it yourself, I just mentioned Sister Bao"

"You are not allowed to say that!" The soft "iron fist" hit someone one after another.

"Okay, I won't tell you!" Zhou Yang hugged her quickly, "Didn't I just say that I would go to Qiying and the other three to visit and show my friendship as landlords? Why don't we make arrangements now to save the time? No matter how troublesome it is, you still have a place to sleep at night, right?"

"Well, you go over first!" Wang Shuying rolled her eyes at him, "I'll be there in a minute."

"Then I'll leave first." Zhou Yang nodded, "Also, don't forget to leave the door open tonight, I'll go."

"No, don't come over!" But Wang Shuying stopped him angrily, "The yard I arranged for you is still the original one. In fact, even after you leave, I will keep it for you. If you remember to go there, Okay, at least it’s farther there.”

"That's fine!" Zhou Yang nodded and turned around to go out. It wasn't until he was quite far away that he thought of a question, "Further? What is farther?"
