5.46 Xue Baoqin: Do you think we believe it or not?

Zhou Yang could be said to be "proud in the spring breeze" at this time. He brought the Li brothers back home almost smoothly; he didn't have many real friendships in the capital. After Princess Yongchang, the rest was just a few days. Let's have a meal together every day. I understand everything about the meal. Anyway, it's okay if we have it or not.

"Brother Zhou!" What he didn't expect was that many family members gathered in the living room of the main courtyard. Xue Baoqin, Zhao Qiying, Zhao Yanling, Xing Xiuyan, Qingwen, Lin Daiyu, Xueyan, and even Wang Shuying couldn't even bother to cover up. , sat at the top of the guest seats; only a familiar yet unfamiliar little girl stood timidly behind Wang Shuying.

"What's wrong with you?" Zhou Yang looked at the worried expressions of the girls dumbfounded, and really couldn't understand. "I just went out to do some things, and it took a long time. Why do you all look so generous?" The feeling of sacrifice - Qiying, didn't you tell them clearly that I just went to the princess to do something?"

"Brother-in-law, that's the princess. Are you really..." While the others were still thinking about it, Zhao Yanling couldn't help but say, "Spent the night? I heard that His Highness Yongchang has been married for a long time. How dare you?"

"My little sister is feeling a little unwell. Let's go back and have a rest!" No one expected that Heroine Zhao would actually drive on the spot. Lin Daiyu, the only "outsider" in the living room, immediately blushed with embarrassment and gave a hurried explanation before helping the maid. When Xue Yan went out, even Xue Baoqin's cheeks turned red, but he didn't run away.

"Girl, what are you thinking about?" Seeing that there were no outsiders, Zhou Yang went up and gave Zhao Yanling a head slap, and then handed them the commander's confession document they had just received for inspection, "I told you that something happened. Arrangement, do you think being promoted to a fourth-grade position can be achieved by relying solely on ability?"

"Oh?" Xue Baoqin watched Zhao Yanling run away, then fell behind Zhao Qiying, and put his head together to read the document. He didn't let go until Qingwen came to snatch it, and let the girl take it to read with Wang Shuying, "Brother Zhou Does it mean that you and Her Highness the Princess only have a superior-subordinate relationship, nothing more? Do you think we believe it or not?"

"The main reason is that there were too many questions and the conversation took a long time." Zhou Yang explained in a tone of "analyzing the script in the middle of the night", and then slapped a certain female hero, scaring her so much that she quickly hid behind her eldest sister. Everyone at the scene looked at the animal in their eyes and continued, "I just went to the Ministry of War to collect the confession documents, so I have been struggling until now."

"Brother Zhou will be the commander of the fourth rank from now on?" Zhao Qiying walked around the world since she was a child, and she didn't know how much she had received from the government. She valued the importance of the official position more than anyone else at the scene. "This has already touched the threshold of a senior military officer. His Highness Yongchang is truly extremely benevolent and righteous."

"I am dedicated to her!" Zhou Yang smiled and said a modern joke, but unfortunately no one at the scene understood it. "In the following days, most of my energy will be spent in the military camp, and I may not be able to take care of you." Come, but only this time."

"As long as Ziyang is willing." Wang Shuying interrupted him with a smile, "Since you are the backbone of the family, you should run towards your future. You don't need to think too much about the things in the backyard. There is no one in the family who is open-minded; but you did it last night Have you ever seen it at His Highness Yongchang?”

"Baochai is very good. She now has the title of being a female attendant. This is something that [-]% of women in the world dream of." Zhou Yang introduced with a smile, "There is another thing. There is someone else in charge of the Snow Brand in Beijing now. I The original intention was to let you and Sister Bao shoulder the burden, but looking at it now, I’m afraid there’s nothing we can do for the time being.”

"As long as you can do well and earn money, it actually doesn't matter who is in charge." Wang Shuying has now seen enough, because the current status of the Xue family has far exceeded that in the original work, "But you brought Pan'er with you this time. Come over here, have you made any arrangements? I don’t know much about my identity, but I also know that I am under the command of a commander."

"It's easy to promote a hundred households." Zhou Yang smiled and nodded, "Brother Wenlong will still live in the military camp most of the time in the future. You also know what happened to him in Jinling. I really don't have the guts to let him mess around alone again." Run away; he is the head of the Xue family after all, but now Xue Zihao has too much money, and more people are thinking about him."

"Just arrange it!" Wang Shuying nodded with satisfaction, "I also want to thank Ziyang for his hard work in Jinling. The prefect of Jiayu Village has also heard about it personally. I didn't expect that the disciples of Rongguo Mansion would also plot against their own relatives. Fortunately, With Ziyang's help, nothing happened; but now you have brought this girl here, Yinglian, but you don't know how to arrange her?"

"To be honest, I really can't let her go out, and you will understand the reason later." Zhou Yang looked at the girl who was at least like Qin Keqing in front of him, and only had a slight difference in temperament with a little make-up. He could only feel the coincidence in the world, "Let her be a servant girl with you first. Anyway, when you left Jinling, you only brought Tongfu with you, so let her make up for it." Wang Shuying originally had four big maidservants, Tongfu, Tonglu, Tongxi, and Tongfu. Gui, except for Tong Fu, who has been serving her all the time, the other three were all given back their titles and released their slave status. With the behavior of the wife of the main house of her wealthy family, there is indeed a shortage of big maids. Leave one more; besides, Zhen Yinglian was nominally bought by Xue Pan, so it would be inappropriate to "snatch" her directly.

"Brother Zhou?" The two of them were chatting for nothing, but they were dumbfounded by Xing Xiuyan who had just walked in. This girl knew Wang Shuying's identity and had always respected her as an elder. Now looking at the attitude of their words, they felt that they were not right. To be able to look between the two stupidly is obviously suspicious.

"Now that you have entered the door, it would be better to know a lot of things earlier." Zhou Yang smiled, went up to hug Xing Xiuyan and kissed her for a long time. After a while, he let go and said with a smile, "From now on, the small bedroom in the inner study will be your base. I'm far behind in writing, so I have to work hard for you; when the time comes, Qingwen will be with you, and you two will be my closest friends."

"Don't worry, Master, I understand!" Qingwen, who didn't say anything during the whole process, nodded. Although she has a hot temper and a petty temper, she has never been stupid. Nowadays, there are more and more women in the family, and each one is more capable than the last. She only knows how to serve others, so she cleverly positions herself as a "personal girl". She doesn't ask any questions about others, which makes all the other girls like her very much.

But Xing Xiuyan, a girl who had just entered the house, did not expect to see such an exaggerated thing, so stupidly that she completely forgot to speak. It was not until Zhou Yang kissed her again that she regained consciousness due to holding her breath; as for Wang Shuying, she had already Xue Baoqin and Zhen Yinglian left with red faces and rolled their eyes.

"Brother Zhou!" Although Zhao Yanling had never been with him, he actually knew about the situation from his eldest sister. At this time, he just curled his lips and was too lazy to talk. Zhao Qiying pulled Xing Xiuyan into his arms and comforted her kindly, "You When I first came here, I still didn’t understand that this commander has done a lot of things, including many things that were even more extreme, so the family still needs to be more open-minded.”

"Okay, you will know in the future." Zhou Yang smiled and hugged all four girls who were still in the room to him, "How can a family have so many secrets? From now on, you four will be the Zhou family The civil and military officials in the backyard will only know more and more, if they are all as frightened as they are today, how can I rest assured?"

He is really not exaggerating. Zhao Qiying now controls the family's intelligence system. Zhao Yanling is considered a personal bodyguard and a senior doctor. If anything goes wrong, it will be catastrophic.

"Brother-in-law, it's better for them to talk to the two 'civil and military officials'." Zhao Yanling smiled teasingly, pulled Qingwen free and ran out; Zhou Yang didn't waste any time, and went out with the civil and military secretaries in his arms, one on the left and the other on the right. Back to the inner study - there are still some things that need to be clarified first.

"Brother Zhou, Your Highness Yongchang is really gone." As soon as he entered the inner study, when Xing Xiuyan was still in the dark, Zhao Qiying directly turned to the topic, "I contacted my old relationship last night. The current situation in the capital is not acceptable. Be optimistic, the outbreak will happen sooner or later, it’s just a matter of which day.”

"I also learned a lot from Ron'er." Zhou Yang smiled and nodded, "From now on, you can treat her as your sister, but don't forget to keep some thoughts in mind. After all, she is the princess of the Zhou Dynasty. , and controls half of the imperial court’s intelligence system, if we really trust him completely, it’s hard to say whether there will be any accidents.”

"Brother Zhou, don't worry, my little sister will save you." Zhao Qiying smiled and nodded.

"It just so happens that there is something to keep you busy." Zhou Yang was really at ease with this heroine, "As you know, we are training in the army in Daye. I have a lot of things to do in the next few days, mainly working in the east barracks. You and Xiuyan discuss it and write a training plan based on our training standards. I believe it won’t be long before I have to report to the princess and His Majesty.”

"This" Zhao Qiying obviously lacks confidence, "for such a big thing, my little sister is worried that she will not be able to do it well."

"That's about right. It's mainly for the superiors to see." Zhou Yang said casually, which made Zhao Qiying breathe a sigh of relief, "Okay, you can't let your hard work go in vain for such a big thing, so let me reward you! "
