5.33 Miss Lin is alone, how can she follow her husband casually?
That night, VIPs from Panxiang Temple had a "zen room".

"Brother Zhou, after I went to Xing's house at the foot of the mountain in the afternoon, the couple signed with their thumbprints without even looking at what was written on the two pieces of paper." Zhao Qiying hesitantly handed a piece of paper to Zhou Yang's hand. Then he looked at the girl kneeling on the ground and said uneasily, "This sister is from a poor family, but she has never thought about it."

"Okay, you still don't know who I am? Could it be that I'll treat her badly again?" Zhou Yang smiled and took the piece of paper, which was Xing Xiuyan's body deed, and handed it to the girl in front of him. , "This is just what I did to scare your parents. I just signed it today and it has not been registered with the government. You can keep it for yourself."

"I don't dare!" Xing Xiuyan was obviously resentful and had no intention of accepting the contract. "Since the general has made an agreement with my parents, I will serve you wholeheartedly. I only hope that the general will not break the promise he made during the day and give the slave to his family." Leave enough behind.”

"Qiying, I'll go out first." Zhou Yang was really not interested in playing this kind of "guess it, guess it" game with his sister. He stood up and pushed Zhao Qiying out of the room. He then closed the door and came back. He pulled Xing Xiuyan up and pointed. He gestured for her to sit down, and poured the tea himself and handed it over, "The contract I bought you for was just a joke, and I won't really treat you as a human being.

Today in this monastery, I heard about you. Although you came from a poor background, you are self-sufficient and like to make progress. You even learned a lot from Master Miaoyu. I just need someone like you by my side; Qiying, you see , I have been practicing martial arts since I was a child and I don’t know much about literacy. There is also a girl named Qingwen who only takes care of my daily life. "

"Huh?" Xing Xiuyan's expression changed obviously. Since she was sold by her parents, she originally thought that she would serve as a slave, but she didn't expect that this was not what she meant. "The general meant that the slave should sort out the daily pen, ink, paper and inkstone." Or books or something?”

"Do you think I look like a writer?" Zhou Yang nodded angrily at the girl's forehead and said, "I used to be a Qianhu in Daye Qianhusuo, and now I am preparing to return to the capital for a promotion. From now on, I will be a fourth-rank official in the imperial court. Commander, there are many official documents, memorials and the like that no one has dealt with, and these things cannot be accessed by just anyone, at least 'one of our own', do you understand?"

Xing Xiuyan's expression slowly changed from sad to serious, and she stared at someone with a pair of beautiful eyes that seemed to be able to speak. She was a smart girl, and of course she knew what Zhou Yang meant. If she had thought that she came here, she would be a slave. As a maid, and being further adopted as a concubine, she now obviously has more on her mind.

"The general is so confident about my little girl?" the girl suddenly asked with a pair of beautiful eyes flashing.

"That depends on your performance." Zhou Yang smiled faintly. How could she be completely relieved?Xing Xiuyan in the original work is indeed sensible and knows how to advance and retreat. Now who dares to say that this girl will not change?Different environments can create different personalities. Zhao Yanling was originally a heroic heroine, but wasn't she also raised by him to be a clingy little girl?

"If the general does not fail me, the little girl will definitely live up to the general!" Xing Xiuyan breathed a sigh of relief. After changing his expression for a moment, he respectfully picked up the teacup he just poured, knelt on the ground and brought it in front of Zhou Yang. General never gives up"

"Don't worry, I have no intention of letting you leave the Zhou family's house again." Zhou Yang smiled and took the tea cup, took a sip and put it down. Then he stood up and pulled the girl up, slowly took her into his arms, and then The deed was stuffed into her sleeve and said, "I will give you time and a chance. If you feel that I am not a person you can rely on, the deed is in your hands - remember my words, you will not let me down. Don’t let me down!”

Xing Xiuyan said nothing more, blushing and pushing him away into the inner room; Zhou Yang smiled faintly, believing that this smart girl would make a wise choice.

"Brother Zhou, where is Miss Xing?" Just as he was thinking about something, Zhao Qiying's voice came from the door. In fact, she had been at the door all the time. Now she couldn't hear the sound inside for a long time, so she thought something had happened.

"Go back to the room, let's go." Zhou Yang went out with a smile, hugged the girl and walked slowly towards the garden, "I made it very clear just now, and let her think about the rest. Okay, it doesn’t matter if you can’t figure it out, it’s just four, five hundred taels of silver anyway.”

"Brother Zhou is quite generous, 100 taels of silver plus thirty acres of land. No wonder the couple were so polite when I arrived at Xing's house in the afternoon." Zhao Qi spoke with a hint of resentment in his English, "I didn't know the newcomer had entered the house. Will my old self be thrown over the wall?"

"You!" Zhou Ang didn't say anything more, and took the girl into the garden.

Panxiang Temple faces the stone lake from the north to the south. It is not a large temple. It occupies the same area as a modern rural primary school. It is divided into the main hall in the front yard, the side hall, and the side hall. The middle is the inner courtyard and functional area for self-use, and the two sides are Similar to the cross-courtyard, they are all so-called "VIP Zen Rooms" and end with an exquisite garden. The back door of the temple is located in the northeast corner. After exiting the back door, you go around the front mountain path and down the mountain you will find the guest rooms in the outer courtyard.

It is already the beginning of autumn, and the temperature is still hot during the day, but the temperature drops quickly at night, and the thin night wind can even bring a slight coolness; even if the night sky at 25 is clear, there are still only stars shining, without the moonlight, the whole The lighting in the garden is very poor. Even if there are angry wind lanterns hanging in a few places, it is not considered "out of sight".

"Brother Zhou, do you really want Ms. Too casual?"

"Does it make you unwilling to take over?" Zhou Yang teased, and received an elbow from the girl before continuing, "Don't worry, she is a smart girl. She has such a low background and suddenly does not forget to make progress. She can get that wonderful person." Master Jade approves so much, and the two have formed a half-master friendship, which shows that this girl is not the kind of person who doesn't know how to advance or retreat."

"That's fine." Zhao Qiying hesitated for a moment and nodded, "But for the sake of safety, we might as well let her deal with some superficial things first. When will we accept her into the Zhou family, we will talk about it later - Brother Zhou, I understand what you mean, but there is an old saying that says, 'You must not have the intention of harming others, and you must have the intention of guarding against others.' If she is not one of your own, you cannot let her know too much. This is I'm saving her." "Okay, you have the final say." Zhou Yang smiled and hugged the girl tightly. He lowered his head and tasted the sweetness in front of him. After a long time, he was willing to let go, "Qiying, actually, my original arrangement was I want you to take over the position assigned to Xiuyan, and your current affairs are prepared for Yan Ling, but I really didn’t expect that."

"It's not all because you are used to it." Zhao Qiying gave someone a light slap, "Yanling, this girl, actually learned pretty well when she dart with me. Except for some things about the world, Shanghai is a little naive and soft-hearted, and she is no better than me in other aspects. Bad; ever since I identified you as a cruel person, I have only thought about the trivial things around you, and I have given up on all the things I was originally doing to deal with affairs.

It's good of you that you didn't even ask, and let her ask no questions except martial arts and medical skills. It wasn't until she needed help that she realized that there was no one available around her. It's even better now. Girls who have only met once have the courage. Asking her to take on the secrets of the family, I don’t know if you are trustworthy or if you are deceived by women.”

"I'm going to be deceived by you!" Zhou Yang smiled and pushed her against the rockery wall. He lowered his head and was sweet again. However, the two of them soon lost control. There was a faint singing voice in the silent garden; fortunately, Zhou Yang After Yang Lai, Panxiang Temple was taken over, so there was no need to worry about any accidents.

Well, it’s actually hard to say.
"It's all you, telling me how to see Miss Lin in the future!" Looking at the two small figures hurriedly running away in the distance, even if their reactions are a bit slow now, they can't guess their identities. ——Qingwen can’t run away at all, so only Lin Daiyu’s master and servant are left.

"You didn't refuse just now. Oh, it's my fault, it's all my fault!" It's nonsense to say it's not embarrassing, but Zhou Yang didn't pay much attention to it. Is it possible that any other girl would say such nonsense? , "Let's go back now, tomorrow anyway."

"I'll go to Miss Lin's place tonight, so you can have a good rest." Zhao Qiying lightly hammered someone a few times, then lowered her head and said with a red face, "The more this kind of thing happens, the sooner we have to talk about it, in case anything happens. Whatever grudges are left behind will make everyone feel uncomfortable if they continue to accumulate."

"Then what should I do? That's all I did just now - oh!" Just as someone with an upper head wanted to leave something to eat, he was hit by a small fist on his lower abdomen, and he could only squat and gasp with a distorted expression. Taking a breath of air, he watched the girl walk away while adjusting her clothes.

Less than half a stick of incense later, Lin Daiyu's room.

"Girl -" Hearing the knock on the door, Xue Yan looked at his girl hesitantly. Seeing that she didn't stop him, he went to open the door. After a moment, he announced, "It's Sister Qiying here."

"My little sister has met Aunt Zhao!" Seeing Zhao Qiying enter the door, Lin Daiyu stood up with a cold face and offered a blessing gift, "I wonder what's going on here late at night?"

"I saw the light was still on in the girl's room, so I came over to talk shamelessly." Zhao Qiying knew just by the title that the girl in front of her was really annoyed. She gestured to Xueyan with a smile, and didn't continue until she went outside, " Besides, you only have one little girl here, and I don’t know if she’ll be here to serve you. I’d like to ask if there’s anything else you’re missing?”

"How dare I bother my aunt?" Lin Daiyu turned her head to the side, wanting to say a few words, but remembering what happened not long ago, her cheeks turned red with embarrassment, and she lost the ability to speak.

Zhao Qiying was stunned for a moment. She knew the girl in front of her very well. Although she was usually very talkative, but if she really pissed her off, she wouldn't be able to get her back. Looking at her now, she didn't look like she was really angry. , more shame, anger and tolerance?

"Good girl, please forgive me this time." Zhao Qiying vaguely guessed something, but decided to test it out first, "There is no way I can refuse."

"Oh, why are you telling me these things? You're not going to dirty your ears. Why don't you go back and serve your father? Why are you wasting your time here?" Lin Daiyu immediately covered her ears in shame and shook her head, but she didn't really Drive Zhao Qiying away.

"Okay, I won't tell you." Zhao Qiying secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "Besides, are you following alone now? How can Miss Lin follow her husband casually when she is alone?"

Zhao Qiying muttered something dumbfounded, and then remembered that when leaving Yangzhou, Lin Ruhai personally told Zhou Yang to bring Lin Daiyu to Beijing. However, the two were not related. Normally, with Lin Ruhai's temperament, he would not do this anyway. This is something that violates ethics, but he just did it, so it can only be
"Sister Qiying?" Lin Daiyu also realized that something seemed wrong.

"Pfft--" Zhao Qiying couldn't help laughing, covered her mouth and brought back a cup of tea from the outside, and gently knelt in front of Lin Daiyu, "Since Miss Xue has been ordered to serve as the attendant of His Highness Yongjing, I think she has something." Change; Mr. Lin also came to Beijing in August or September, and he will definitely not watch in vain, why don’t you drink this cup of tea from my concubine!"

"Hey——" Lin Daiyu lay on the quilt shyly, her cheeks instantly turned red.
