5.52 Qiu Fang met the general
Now that the "general direction" has been agreed upon, the next thing will be simple, and the atmosphere will become more cheerful. Zhou Yang just chatted with a group of Jia's family members, from the gardens in the south of the Yangtze River to the iron mines in Daye, Then it turned to the fish and shrimps on the sea, and then back to the scenic spots in Yangzhou. Anyway, it was just a wild ride for a while, and the time passed quickly.

"Okay, it's almost noon. The old lady has to prepare food here, so I won't waste your time anymore." Finally, Jia Mu realized that it had been long enough and said, "Anyway, your second uncle's side is indispensable for you." Come and have something to eat - Come on, mandarin ducks, please send Ziyang there, and don’t forget to tell your master that Baoyu is not feeling well and won’t go there today.”

"Don't worry, ancestor!" Yuanyang understood immediately upon hearing this that this was to "save" Jia Baoyu and let her go over to increase the weight of her words.

"Hee hee, Brother Zhou, don't be too shabby. There is neither river food from the south of the Yangtze River nor seafood from the ship. We can't even cook Yangzhou cuisine. We can only make do with Sister Lin to make ends meet." Tan Chun He intentionally made fun of it with a stern face, but Zhou Yang spent more than half of his energy on famous food from various places when he was chatting in the morning.

"Okay, I understand what the third sister means." Zhou Yang also became "serious", "It's disgusting that I didn't bring enough gifts when I came here. Why don't I ask Xuezihao to arrange for some seafood to come over after I go back? What? Abalone, shark's fin, dried shrimps and sea vegetables are transported to Sanmei's house in a few cars, so that you can feel the breath of the sea every day!"

The living room was immediately filled with laughter. Who here didn’t know that the smell of sea fish and seafood is so strong that if they were piled up in the house, let alone several cars, just a pot of them would fill the whole house. If you are filled with the fishy smell, there is no need to discuss the issue of housing. As long as you go there twice, it will probably take a few days for the smell to go away.

"Brother Zhou is bullying!" Tan Chun stamped his feet angrily.

"You mean there's no need to send it away. Third sister doesn't like seafood?" Someone continued seriously, "Then I'll save some trouble and don't need to send it away!"

"Don't!" This time, before Tanchun could speak, Xichun jumped up anxiously, "Brother Zhou is so stingy, he promised and then regretted it!"

"That's it!" Zhou Yang put on a thoughtful posture, and nodded after a while, "Then send it to the fourth sister's room!"

The living room was filled with laughter again, Tanchun and Xichun all stamped their feet in shame.

"Okay, I've been scolded as a 'talkative' all day long in this house, and today I realized that I've been greatly wronged. If you were also in the house, how could I still bear this reputation?" Wang Xifeng held back her laughter. He beat someone while "forcibly pushing" him out of the yard, "We are about to leave this place. If you really want to make you cry, how can I coax you!"

Zhou Yang naturally took the opportunity to say "Ouch" and followed Yuanyang out without mentioning it. While Jia Mu's children were laughing and joking, they found Jia Baoyu's residence in Qixie Zhai and the master bedroom in Jiangyunxuan.

The bedroom, which is gorgeously decorated but full of femininity no matter how you look at it, is still full of sweet and greasy atmosphere. The curtains of the foot-square bed have been lowered, and only two petite figures can be vaguely seen. There was no movement at all, but he was very close, and faint chatter and laughter could be heard.

"You two, it's been a long time, why haven't you calmed down yet?" Fu Qiufang came in with a basin and a towel, walked to the bed and opened the curtain, then gently patted her and got into the brocade quilt shyly. The two people's voices were full of indulgence and kindness, "Get up and pack quickly. It's time to set the meal. I'm afraid our ancestors are waiting there!"

After saying that, she lifted up the brocade quilt and threw a washed hot towel to Xiren, who was still in heaven. She took another hot towel and went up to help Jia Baoyu clean up. When she was done, she urged them to get up and toss. It took a long time for the two of them to get out of bed, and then drove them to the bathroom to wash and tidy up.

"Sister Qiufang—" Jia Baoyu finally finished "putting on makeup" and as soon as she came out, she threw herself into Fu Qiufang's arms and nuzzled her, "When will you be able to do this!"

"But you're talking nonsense. If even a word about what happened in this room gets out, I and the other sisters may not be able to survive." Fu Qiufang hit him and pushed him out of the room. "Cr. "To She Yue who was waiting in the living room, "You go to the ancestor's place for dinner now, so as not to trouble Sister Yuanyang to make a trip again."

"Sister Qiufang, what about you?" At least Jia Baoyu has always done a good job in caring about women openly.

"My ancestors probably didn't prepare for me." Fu Qiufang complained slightly, but what she said was also true. At least all the masters of the Rongguo Mansion - well, except Jia Zheng, all saw what she meant. But she is also recognized as the least promising "contestant". Her only advantage is that there seems to be no other opponent for the position of "Second Grandma".

"Sister Qiufang, I'm going to talk to my ancestor right now and ask her to send someone to pick you up quickly," Jia Baoyu said anxiously. "Okay, I won't be hungry here, you can just go there." Fu Qiufang sighed in her heart again. Even though she had long understood the "big hollow carrot" nature of the young master in front of her, she was still attracted by this kind of thing every time. The irresponsible behavior is disgusting. If Jia Baoyu had been a little bolder, his words would have been "Let's go there together."

"Miss Fu——" After watching the Phoenix Egg leave, Xiren immediately knelt down behind Fu Qiufang, "Slave today."

"Okay, it's not like I don't know Baoyu's temper, so how can I blame you?" Fu Qiufang forced a smile, bent down to help Xiren up, and pulled them back to the master bedroom to sit down on the edge of the bed, "I asked you to pack your things that time , In fact, I have wronged you. It’s not like we don’t understand the men in the house, which one can be controlled? Only one thing, you are not serious. "

"Miss Fu!" Xiren's face flushed with embarrassment, and he lowered his head and whispered, "Baoyu doesn't seem to know those things. He just learned some games from books. How can this slave have the courage to do anything else? What's more, Fu The girl treats you so kindly, if I don’t know the etiquette and go overboard again, then I really deserve to die!”

"Good sister, I don't blame you anyway. This is not the first time he has cheated on someone. He will still need you to serve him from now on. Why do I really want to block your future?" Fu Qiufang gently held the attacker in her arms and said with a smile. , "My brother is just a sixth-grade general judge of Shuntian Mansion, so he can't help much. It's just your brother's business at home, and he can take care of it no matter what.

Now I don't even have a good girl who knows how to be cold and hot, I only have a useless little hoof to make up for it. You have been serving Brother Bao since you were a child, and you are recognized in the house as being able to serve others. Can we be separated in the future?Just take care of him with peace of mind. The only thing is, don't always let him do whatever he needs to do, do you understand? "

"Don't worry, girl, I'll save you this!" Xiren blushed, knelt down and nodded.

"Okay, I'm sorry for you working so hard, just take it to replenish your health." Fu Qiufang took out a silver leaf with a smile and stuffed it into Xi Ren's arms, then pulled her back to the living room, "Let's fill up our stomach first, follow the treasure It's a brother's habit that he won't come back until the sisters in the house take a break, and you and I just took advantage of this opportunity."

Just as she guessed, the entire Jia Mansion had entered the lunch period. Different statuses had different orders. From entering noon (eleven o'clock) to past midnight (fourteen o'clock), a full hour and a half passed by like this. Zhou Yang He also drank with Jia Zheng in Mengpozhai until almost midnight, and it was not over until all his "opponents" were defeated. Naturally, it was lunch break next, but when he returned to the familiar VIP guest room, he knew that he would not be able to sleep. alright.

"Qiu Fang has met the general!" After eating with a group of maids at Qishaizhai - she could only stay in the guest room in the outer courtyard in Rongguo Mansion. Although the meals were delivered from the kitchen, the standard was not much better than that of big maids like Xi Ren - —So I found an excuse to come over, avoiding the people in the mansion along the way. The purpose was naturally to talk to someone.

"Why do you come to my place when you have time?" Zhou Yang smiled faintly, and poured a cup of tea for her and put it away. He only had a transactional relationship with this woman, so naturally he wouldn't care about his sister as much as he did, at least since he left. After taking office outside Beijing, the two of them had not contacted each other for a few days. "But you need my help with something?"

"Qiu Fang doesn't dare!" Fu Qiufang took the tea cup with both hands and put it down and quickly knelt down, "I would also like to thank the general for helping my brother get his current position; however, the capital is the most kind place in the world and there are so many officials. Now my brother can only Although we have established a foothold, it really doesn’t mean we have much status. It’s all thanks to the face of the Rongguo Mansion, at least the Five Cities Military and Horse Division.”

"I know Brother Qiu's character very well. He will not embarrass his own people." Zhou Yang smiled and sat on the edge of the bed, but did not help the beauty in front of him. "But that's all. Although Jingtian Houfu is not as good as the four The bastard family will not really give face to a mere sixth-grade general, not to mention that Brother Changwen belongs to the Shuntian Mansion Yamen. I don't have the face to reach out. If you want him to go further, I'm afraid it's better to come to me. Thinking too much.”

"Qiu Fang doesn't dare!" Fu Qiufang said quickly, "Brother is just a man of merit, and it will be difficult to get higher up. General is a military position. Qiu Fang still knows that civil and military careers are different. Brother's future still has to be here. Here, it’s just that Uncle Zheng is not enthusiastic, at least in Qiufang.”

"Before you officially marry into the Rongguo Mansion, there will definitely be no chance." Zhou Yang smiled and shook his head, "So, in the end, you still can't escape this step. There are too many snobbery people in this mansion. I hope they can help you speak. , You can’t just rely on words, are you short of money?”

"Qiu Fang is ashamed. It's just that now, the Fu family's foundation is not enough to support my brother. I really can't afford to let Qiu Fang anymore." Fu Qiufang smiled bitterly and dragged her knees to the bed and said, "After much thought, I can only beg the general shamelessly. Here, please pray for some help."

"Okay." Zhou Yang smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to pull her up and hugged her, "Brother Changwen helped me a lot in the beginning, and now it's time to ask for something in return. I'll have someone send another 2000 taels to you in two days. ; It just so happened that I came to the house today with no intention of staying overnight, so I didn’t bring anyone with me."

"Servant serving the general!" Fu Qiufang lowered her head slightly, allowing someone to push her down.
