Volume Four

4.87 There are so many relatives and friends today.

It was almost time to make trouble. Whether it was for fun or for other reasons, Zhou Yang finally took the girls to have a happy night. By the time they got off the boat, the lights on the originally bustling Qinhuai River were gradually extinguished. It slowly entered the quiet night. Fortunately, carriages and horses had been arranged on the shore, so it wouldn't be a problem.

"Thank you, Brother Zhou. My little sister is very happy today." Xue Baoqin gave a light blessing gift and jumped into her cousin's arms when she was done. She did not forget to comfort her, "Okay sister, this kind of excitement only happens a few times a year. ? Fortunately, there is no curfew today, and the city defense will leave a small gate. Otherwise, if we played so late, I might not even be able to go home. "

"You girl -" Zhou Yang naturally couldn't keep pulling the girl to exercise for such a long time. After the storm, he had enough rest time. Xue Baochai had already known his cousin's thoughts from his maid, and for a moment he didn't know how to face it. Yes, so much so that half the night passed and she didn't speak to anyone again.

"Brother-in-law, let's go quickly. We have other things tomorrow. If you sleep too late, you will be delayed." Xue Baoqin seemed to really know nothing. She poked her head out of her cousin's arms and smiled at Zhou. Yang waved his hand, and then jumped into the carriage behind him, not forgetting to drag Xue Baochai's master and servant with him.

Seeing this, Zhou Yang didn't ask any more questions. He helped Zhao Qiying and Qingwen get into the first carriage, then got on the horse and called his men to set off. As for the other two general flags on the other side of the river, they would follow the same rules. The original arrangements were continued and they would meet again when the time came, and he would not interfere again.

"Girl Qin" Xue Baochai looked at the smiling cousin in his arms with a complicated expression, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

"Why, my sister won't even want to have a small courtyard in the future?" Xue Baoqin said with a smile, as if she was really talking about insignificant things, "If there is really no room, my little sister will squeeze with sister Yinger, how about living in the outside room?" ? After all, they are all my sisters, so they won’t leave me with nowhere to go, right?”

"Girl Qin, has it really come to this?" Xue Baochai said in disbelief.

"My silly sister, do you still want to have any way out?" Xue Baoqin's casual words made her cousin change her face. "Not to mention the reputation, how can the Xue family be separated from Brother Zhou now? Over there in Gyeonggi Province With help from all walks of life, a bunch of wealthy mansions have been gathered together, how can it be said that a simple business can do everything?"

"Damn girl, you know that's not what I'm talking about!" Xue Baochai slapped her angrily and said, "Over there at the Mei family."

"I am an aristocratic Hanlin master, how can I accept a merchant's daughter who is only a second-bedroom girl as a clan lady?" Xue Baoqin curled his lips disdainfully, "My cousin may not have seen the faces of some people , as if the poor scholar who relied almost entirely on the support of the Xue family, otherwise he would have starved to death, never existed."

"Second uncle, do you think so too?" Xue Baochai hugged her sister distressedly and asked.

"Even if we are blood relatives, is there any reason to abandon our daughter to another family during the Chinese New Year? What's more, the little sister doesn't even have a girl with her." Xue Baoqin burst out laughing, "What doesn't daddy know? Don't forget him. When I got on the ship with my eldest brother, my girl stood outside an empty sedan and followed her into the cabin.

Sister, Brother Zhou has only been in office for a few months and has made a lot of noise. How can he be stuck in the fourth or fifth rank?I have never been to the North, so I don’t know the specific situation there. Every year, the Gyeonggi branch of the Snow Brand gives out nearly half of the money and millions of dollars in "travel money". How many people in the world are so generous?
You see, in a year or two at most, Brother Zhou will definitely continue to make progress, but now that you have a heavy duty of filial piety, it is hard to say what will happen in the future for many things. You just have to take good care of the present, and are you afraid that there will be no results?Brother Zhou was already surrounded by beautiful women, but fortunately there was no threat to his sister now. "

"Damn girl, what are you talking about!" Xue Baochai's cheeks turned red immediately.

"Sister, it's better to listen!" Xue Baoqin's tone was completely unlike that of a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl, "You have met Sister Qiying, but I am afraid you have forgotten that there is also Sister Yan Ling. Fortunately, they are not the same. There's nothing you can do, just treat her as your own sister; the younger sister from the East in the capital has also visited her, but it's a pity that she is trapped by her background, otherwise it would be difficult to cope with it.

Only these are known by the younger sister, but even if it’s just them, which one is really worse than the elder sister, you just listen to the younger sister, want to open a little, look a little farther away, don’t hold on to things that have no effect , No matter how open-minded Brother Zhou is, he can't bear to be annoyed by you every day. What if that time comes, what will my sister do? "

"Did you say that too?" Xue Baochai smiled bitterly.

"That's what you said?" Xue Baoqin's expression changed, "But did you persuade me?"

"Mother, she—" Xue Baochai hesitated for a long time, and his eyes slowly lost focus. He was obviously worried, but in the end he sighed helplessly and chose not to say more.

"Good sister, please look away." Xue Baoqin's expression froze, and then he continued to speak after a moment, but his voice was much softer, "How can a wealthy family have such a simple population as ours?"

"Huh?" Xue Baochai was slightly stunned after coming back to his senses, "Girl Qin, what did you say?"

"It's nothing, I'm just surprised why the car stopped." Xue Baoqin turned away slightly, opened the curtain of the car in front a little, looked through the narrow gap, and immediately showed a worried look.

But I saw a group of more than twenty people, each holding a single-handed short stick, blocking the convoy less than twenty paces in front of the convoy. At the head stood a young man of medium stature, with a rather handsome face, but with a ferocious and wretched expression. Shi Ye was waving a short stick and leading people to slowly press them up. "Wang Ren? I haven't seen you for a while." Zhou Yang waved his hand back to signal the convoy to stop, then smiled and said to the opposite side, "Why, you're so brave today, you dare to come here for a beating?"

"Zhou, please be proud for a moment!" Wang Ren was obviously touched by what he said, "I wanted to get you back when I was humiliated by you last time, but I didn't expect you to leave Jinling so quickly, and the Xue Family Courtyard was again invaded by Li San. Surrounded by three layers outside, that boy Xue Pan was also taken away by you. I thought there was no chance.

Thanks to the people below who told me that the cruise ship where the Xue family's second room was stored at the dock moved, and because you came back a few days ago, I finally found an opportunity; however, if you are willing to kneel down and kowtow ten times to me, If you ring your head eight times, maybe I will be happy and won’t hit you today. "

"That's all?" Zhou Yang looked at the twenty or so people in front of him, shook his head speechlessly, waved his hand behind him casually, then looked behind them and said, "The dock where the cruise ship is stored is on the other side, and you also go from there. You came here on the side, right? Didn’t you notice that there were other people following you on the bridge where you came?”

Wang Ren's expression froze, and he turned his head with some difficulty. He saw that another general banner originally on the other side had gathered over, and it was considered a double-team. Then again, with the few manpower Wang Ren brought, he could only The two general banners next to him can be easily overrun. They are all dressed as servants, so they cannot be opponents with a similar number of elite soldiers.

"Brother Zhou?" Zhao Qiying's greeting came from the carriage behind him, obviously preparing to protect his family members.

"It's not necessary." Zhou Yang waved his hand lightly, then pointed at Wang Ren and his group and said, "Come up, just put half a stick of incense on it. Don't kill anyone. The moon is really good today, no. It’s too convenient to just throw it into the river.”

The four general flags on both sides rushed towards Wang Ren, who was already trembling. Everyone likes to fight a battle that must be won. Naturally, they couldn't carry matchlocks like the army, and they didn't even bring weapons. , but all of them wear double-layered leather armor and cotton-padded clothes. If the defense is against a short stick, it is really like scratching an itch.

In just a few dozen seconds, all of Wang Ren's men had been knocked to the ground. Although most of the people from the four general banners had been hit a few times, they had all been able to survive with the help of their inner armor; the opponent did not have such strong protection. , not to mention most of them were punched in the face, how could they withstand such damage?

A group of guards all strictly followed the orders and did not stop even after knocking down the opponent. They were really ready to hit half a stick of incense; especially Wang Ren was specially "taken care of", one person stepped on his face, and even crushed the other person a few times from time to time. Zheng was wielding the captured short stick and slapped Wang Ren on the buttocks one after another, making him scream in agony.

"Brother Zhou, it's almost done, if you fight again, you will really die." Finally, Zhao Qiying in the carriage couldn't help persuading, "Although there are not many people here now, there are still many people watching the excitement around; After all, he is the eldest son of Wang Ziteng, and he and his wife are also close relatives, so it is better to save some dignity."

"Okay, that's it." Zhou Yang nodded and said hello. No one could get up now anyway. He waved his hand to the two "looking after" guards to pull Wang Ren up. Then he said with a smile, "For the sake of relatives, For my own sake, I will spare your life today. If there is another time, even if I don’t beat you to death, I will ensure that you will use a cane for the rest of your life - huh?"

Not far ahead, he saw a white BMW roaring towards him. The rider in a well-dressed suit tilted his body to the inside and kicked the guard on the right to the ground with a crisp kick. At the same time, he stretched out his hand to drag Wang Ren over, crossing his body. He ran wildly on horseback, ignoring his howling, and beautifully dodged Zhou Yang's whip before leaving.

"It's interesting. This beautiful riding skill is at least as good as mine." Looking at the leaving figure from a distance, Zhou Yang smiled and shook his head and didn't take it seriously. He couldn't really kill Wang Ren, so it would end like this. Not bad.

"Sir, what should I do with these people?" A guard stepped forward and asked.

"Drag one over here." Zhou Yang waved his hand and asked casually, "You are making trouble today. Does your wife know?"

"Sir, we are here to serve Mr. Zhen!" The servant was already crying, "I came here with Mr. Wang, but I didn't know that I was going to attack you!"

"People from the Zhen family?" Zhou Yang was slightly startled. According to Xue Xun's monthly supply of salt, everyone should be considered "one of our own". Looking at the servant's meaning, it was probably a misunderstanding today, or in other words, It was Wang Ren who took the chicken feathers as arrows, "If that's the case, I'm afraid I'll have to go to Zhen's house tomorrow."

"Brother Zhou, the rider just now." Zhao Qiying had already got off the car and came over. He turned around and looked at the direction the horse had left. He hesitated and said, "It should be a girl. I smell the residual smell of powder."

"Oh? This is interesting!" Zhou Yang was really confused, "Girl? The only person in Jinling City who can take risks is Wang Ren. It should not be someone else's family. Plus, these people in front of him should theoretically be considered one of our own. It seems that today, I have so many relatives and friends!”

At the same time, Rongguo Mansion and Jia Muyuan.

"Okay, little girl Yan Ling, don't look anxious anymore. I'm wronging you to stay with the old lady at night. Can you still go back in the middle of the night? Just go to Er Yatou to make trouble with her. The old lady has already sent Mr. Zhao to the head of the bodyguard. We've been notified." Mother Jia looked at the anxious Zhao Yanling with a kind face and said with a smile, "You sisters should be closer, but we don't have much contact with each other on weekdays.

Speaking of it, your kid is also cruel, even you are willing to leave the capital alone, just like Lian Er's heartless one, no wonder they are close; they are busy with their future, and they don't like us girls Are you happy by yourself? "

"This -" Zhao Yanling looked at Yingchun, bowed and said after seeing her nod, "My little girl, it's better to be respectful than to obey."
