4.48 Sister Xue also needs to be prepared

When Zhou Yang led Dongfang Bing back to the Xue family's guest room, he saw that the Zhao sisters and Qingwen were nowhere to be seen, apparently "escape from the war"; but Xue Baochai and Ying'er were sitting under the main seat in the living room. First, when he saw the two of them entering the door, he stood up with a smile and formally greeted them at the door of the main room.

"I've met Sister Xue!" Dongfang Bing stepped forward first and clasped his fists in salute.

“I’ve met Sister Dongfang!” We should talk about it after taking a rest. One more thing, mother has already arranged a banquet in the backyard, and we will just have a simple meal. I hope my sister won’t find it objectionable."

Zhou Yang's expression froze. Looking at Xue Baochai's "master" look, if he could no longer see the "power", then he would have failed too much; even the girl Ying'er, whom he was already familiar with, was actually a standard at this time. The servant girls of the Xue family are in "work clothes", no matter how they stand or how they behave, everyone will praise them as "good girl" when they see them.

"Sister Xue, thank you for your hard work. Why do you need all this trouble?" Dongfang Bing smiled, but there was no trace of his usual cold aura. "As a sister, I only came to Jinling for official business because of the arrangement of the princess. I didn't dare to I’m sorry to trouble my sister, but I’m here today, so I have no choice but to shamelessly admit it; when my sister comes to Beijing in the future, I will definitely hold a banquet at the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion to show off my friendship as a landlord."

This time it was Xue Baochai's turn to have a confused expression. Although the two of them only said a few words, there were quite a lot of overt and covert secrets. The problem is that with Xue Baochai's current status, no matter how much wealth and splendor she shows off, Dongfang Bing just said "Weiyuan Marquis Mansion" and it was almost wiped out, even if everyone knew that the current Weiyuan Marquis Mansion was almost extinct!
"Huh -" Zhou Yang let out a long sigh of relief. He really couldn't bear the atmosphere, so he could only stare at the angry Ying'er next to him and said, "You go out first - you two come in with me!"

Not to mention that Ying'er glanced at her girl worriedly, and then left obediently, closing the door to the room and courtyard. She only said that Zhou Yang pulled the two girls and half-forced them into the inner room. It's a girl like her who should know.

"Brother Zhou, I'm sorry, my little sister didn't treat me well." Xue Baochai, who had regained his composure as soon as he entered the door, immediately apologized, "It's just that Sister Dongfang is here today, why didn't you say hello in advance? Even if you received the news yesterday, , and it won’t be in such a hurry.”

"Hey, if you don't have anything to do all day, you will think about something." Zhou Yang first gave Dongfang Bing an apologetic look, and then gently embraced Xue Baochai and said, "Your is Is it possible that something else happened to you? Dongfang’s visit this time was really for official business, and I didn’t even receive any news.

Then again, she's not an outsider, so why should she be so awkward?I know what you are worried about, but didn’t you just hear that she is now the only descendant of Weiyuan Hou Mansion, so I can’t marry her, right?If he really did that, even though he would have to hold the rank of a first-class general, would he still lose his reputation? "

"Brother Zhou was joking, what did the little sister think about?" But Xue Baochai didn't care at all. She broke away from his arms with a gentle smile. Instead, she ran to Dongfang Bing and kissed her gently, "Sister Dongfang, don't worry, little sister." My sister is not intolerant. If I enter the Zhou family in the future, I hope my sister won’t—"

"You, it's such a shame about your background." Dongfang Bing didn't listen to her explanation, but made a confused comment in a complicated tone. Then he held her in his arms and sat on the edge of the bed with a smile, "My identity must be Ziyang." Have you already said it? I'm afraid I won't have so much time in the future, and I will definitely not be able to get involved in the affairs of the inner house.

No matter what, how can he be without you to serve him?When I need to worry about things in the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion, I just hope you won’t make things difficult. Also, I came here this time really for official business arranged by the princess. Even if I came to see this cruel man, it was mostly because of something. It involves him. "

It sounded like she was showing her identity and position, at least Xue Baochai's face obviously looked better after listening to it; but for some reason, Zhou Yang always felt that there was something in her words, especially the sentence "it's a pity to be born", and then followed The last sentence "serve" made him unable to rest assured no matter what.

"Okay, we are all a family. Where did we get so many lives?" No matter what, Zhou Yang couldn't watch the girls openly and secretly attacking each other. He ignored the two of them and forced his way into the middle, holding one in each hand. After taking another sip of farewell, he said with a cheeky smile, "We've arrived at our own territory anyway. It's not too much to have something to eat, drink and have a rest, right?"

"You are such a person." Dongfang Bing didn't react at all. She didn't know how many times she had experienced even more shameful things. Xue Baochai, who was already thin-skinned and always valued his status, was not so calm. "What you do is not what a gentleman would do." ? Even if Sister Dongfang and Little Sister are not outsiders, they shouldn’t be in this situation."

"Sister Xue is too worried." Dongfang Bing grabbed someone's arm and pulled him up directly to the door and "threw him out". Then he closed the door and returned to the inner room. He continued to hold Xue Baochai and said, "He's like this People are accustomed to eating meat and vegetables, so don't be unable to bear it in the future; besides, you and I are not the only ones around him. You will definitely come in the door in the future, but you should also remember the rule of 'Marry as your wife and marry as your concubine' , I’m not afraid of my sister’s jokes, I’ve long ago. My sister doesn’t have to think too much now, how can I tell what will happen in the future? Maybe one day, something unexpected happens, and Sister Xue also needs to be prepared.”

"Hmm?" Since I have this intention, if I say anything more, won't it seem that I am intolerant? Now that we have decided on our destiny, we will just serve Brother Zhou together in the future."

"It's good that my sister can think about it." Dongfang Bing smiled and nodded, "I really don't plan to stay here this time. I just want to rest for a day or two, and then I will rush back to the capital as soon as possible to return to the princess; Brother Zhou I will soon be rushing to Daye to take up my post. Fortunately, there is a direct waterway connecting the two places, so traveling there is cheap."

"That's what sister said." Xue Baochai stood up gently, pulled Dongfang Bing and said with a smile, "It happened to be a hard journey, so why not eat something first, and have a good rest in the afternoon if you have nothing to do. You shouldn't violate the orders of the princess, but you can't. Just take care of yourself.”

"You, no wonder that cruel person takes care of you." Dongfang Bing looked at Xue Baochai with a complicated expression, and let her pull her out to the backyard, "There is no need to prepare a separate residence alone, it's not like there are no rooms in this courtyard; my sister doesn't want it either Think too much, he is not an honest person, and no one around him will be in trouble, so just look away!"

"Sister, what are you talking about!" Xue Baochai replied with a blushing face. With her intelligence, she could naturally tell that there was something in Dongfang Bing's words, but she had no idea what the connotation was, so she could only pretend that she didn't hear it.

Dongfang Bing looked at her look, smiled and didn't continue the topic. The two held hands, chatted and laughed all the way to the backyard, where they saw Wang Shuying, who had already heard the servant's announcement, standing at the door with a smile to greet her. Xue Baochai was okay. , Dongfang Qianhu quickly let go of his hand and walked forward quickly to bow to him. When he was about to kneel down, he was pulled back - at least in name, the two were separated by a lifetime.

"Okay, how can a family be so prosperous?" Wang Shuying smiled and supported Dongfang Bing, and the two of them helped each other into the living room. Naturally, what was prepared on the dinner table was another table of "meal", "You have worked hard for thousands of dollars." Come over here and have a meal together."

It's a pity that the meal was tasteless, and the four people who were qualified to serve on the table, whether it was Zhou Yang, Dongfang Bing, Xue Baochai, and Wang Shuying, all had careful thoughts, whether it was talking or eating, they were all a bit "decent" "Let's go" means, the result is naturally to eat in a hurry, and leave when you are full.

"How are you going to explain?" Dongfang Qianhu, who had thoroughly eaten and drank from the activities that afternoon, spoke much softer.

"What's the explanation?" A certain drug scumbag didn't respond, "Ouch——"

"You always keep putting things in the wrong place, do you want me to fold them for you?" Dongfang Qianhu firmly grasped the handle and said with a pair of beautiful eyes, "Or do you want to keep hiding it forever, is that possible? "

"This." Zhou Yang touched his waist and quickly hugged the girl tightly to comfort him. The gap in strength between the two was indeed quite large, but it happened to coincide with the continuous fighting in the past few days. Today is another round-the-clock assault, otherwise they would not be so exhausted. , "I am going to find a suitable time, otherwise no matter how I explain it, this matter will not be good."

"It's up to you." Dongfang Bing interrupted him impatiently, "Anyway, this is not my business, you can figure it out yourself; also, Sister Xue is a good girl. If her background is not a hindrance, she is a noble concubine in the palace. It’s not impossible, so don’t be too slow to treat her.”

"Why do you all attach so much importance to the so-called 'originality'?" Zhou Yang was stunned for a moment and said, "Sister Yi Bao's appearance and cultivation are the so-called 'lady from aristocratic families'. How many can compare to her?"

"Things in this world are not just what you think." Dongfang Bing said angrily, "Scholarship, agriculture, industry and commerce are the ironclad laws - forget it, you can go on your own, I'm tired, let's rest first!"
