5.55 Why is the third sister here alone?

In the early morning of the next day, Zhou Yang got up a little early for half a stick of incense. He went back to the courtyard of the VIP guest room to wash and tidy up. Then he changed into his "practice clothes" and went to the garden for routine morning exercises. This was not only because of his status as a general , but the attraction of a strong physique over the years. When a person is used to the days of "strength can carry a tripod", he naturally does not want to become weak and creamy.

However, nowadays, his training is no longer as high-intensity as it was before Wu Jinshi passed the weightlifting. Instead, he focuses on maintenance. For example, he never did less than three hundred kilograms of stone lock high-lift squats before. Now he has given up and usually does one hundred and ten. Not to mention lifting weights, even the [-]-pound Broken Horse Sword, which was originally used as the main battle weapon, is now only used for exercise, not to mention that he did not bring any training props this time, just walking through the sword and boxing routines, and then Find a rockery rock to do some physical exercises.

"I've met my uncle!" Just as he was fussing with energy, a familiar greeting came from behind him.

"Lan'er?" He put down the rockery with a long sigh of relief. Zhou Yang took a towel to wipe his sweat and turned around with a smile, "Why did you get up so early? Your mother is very concerned about your studies. After doing so much homework, It’s not okay if you don’t take a good rest.”

"Uncle, don't worry, Lan'er knows." Jia Lan smiled, "Mother often urges Lan'er to walk more, and she never misses food supplements on weekdays. Now even Uncle Bao's usual meals are not necessarily the same. Laner is stronger than Laner, but she is even worse physically, Laner has never forgotten my uncle's teaching, the body is the capital of reading, without the body, you can't study!"

"Good boy!" Zhou Yang nodded with a smile and took Jia Lan to find a pavilion to sit down and rest. "That's good. I'll discuss it with your mother in two days and see if I can let you learn some exercises from me." I don’t expect to become a military general because of my physical skills, and at any rate I won’t be like your second uncle, who is prone to all kinds of diseases and has no chance to study.”

"Thank you uncle. Lan'er also hopes that one day she can be like her uncle and can lift a boulder weighing more than a hundred kilograms as if it were nothing." Jia Lan stood up gratefully and bowed, "Lan'er was chatting with the senior brothers. I’ve also heard of my uncle’s demeanor of being able to carry a cauldron. This is a fierce general’s demeanor that can be recorded in history books!”

"Yes, as a man, a strong body is very important. Otherwise, how will you protect your family from wind and rain in the future?" Zhou Yang smiled and nodded, thinking of the senior brothers he just mentioned, "Are these senior brothers you are talking about you? Master's other disciples? It's good to communicate more on weekdays, but don't forget your studies; it's just that expenses are inevitable for interacting with people, do you have enough money?"

"Uncle, don't worry, every time there is entertainment, mother will give you money." Jia Lan said with a smile, "What's more, those senior brothers are much older than Lan'er, and they would give in on weekdays. If Lan'er hadn't taken the initiative to pay the bill, Or banquets, they never asked Lan'er for money, but they never missed Lan'er's benefits."

"That's right!" Zhou Yang nodded, and was very moved by the "little adult" in front of him. In modern society, who's ten-year-old would understand human relations, "Remember, don't mention that you are from the Rongguo Mansion, Only in this way can you truly see who is your friend and who is just fooling around. In the future, you will also take the imperial examination and become an official. There is no harm in having more friends!"

"Lan'er understands, thank you uncle for your teaching!" Jia Lan nodded happily.

"Okay, come with me." Zhou Yang had almost rested. He took Jia Lan to the window of the VIP guest room, turned in and took a small stack of five taels of banknotes and stuffed it in. When he was at a loss what to do, With a smile on his face, he said, "100 taels is not too much. This is not for you to spend casually, and you don't need to hide it from your mother. Just keep it with you just in case."

"Yes, uncle!" Jia Lan accepted it hesitantly and bowed.

"Okay, let's go play. Remember not to just walk around when exercising. Run around the garden. Running for three to five miles will have the best exercise effect." Zhou Yang smiled and patted Jia Lan on the head, "Run Come on, run now!"

"Ah?" Even though Jia Lan was still confused, he was still pushed away by Zhou Yang.

Watching Jia Lan run away, Zhou Yang had a gentle and fatherly smile on his face. If he was really utilitarian towards Jia Lan at the beginning, now although it cannot be said that it is all about family affection, it can still account for most of it. This boy has been there since he was a child. He has almost no source of family affection except Li Wan, and he cherishes his care. His precocious little adult look makes people feel distressed just looking at him.

"Come out, you've seen enough after watching it for a long time, right?" Zhou Yang shook his head with a smile. Zhou Yang wondered if it was because he didn't have children of his own that he looked at other people who were so kind. After he finished laughing, he turned to look at others In the flowers in the distance, he had already discovered that someone was hiding there.

"Hehe, I've met Brother Zhou!" But he didn't expect that this time it was a quite unexpected person. Tan Chun poked his head out from the flowers, walked up to Zhou Yang lightly and bowed, "I didn't expect Brother Zhou and Lan My nephew is so familiar and willing to take care of me." "Why is the third sister here alone?" Zhou Yang smiled and avoided the topic, otherwise how would he answer?I slept with his mother and then promised to take good care of him?
"I'm not the fourth sister yet. I insisted on going to the second sister's place yesterday to make trouble. As a result, I got up late today. We originally agreed to go to the garden together, but they were still awake when I got up." Tan Chun pouted angrily. The mouth looked very cute, but his eyes flickered, obviously thinking something else, "Does Brother Zhou practice martial arts so hard every day?"

"It's true that I practice every day. It doesn't matter if it's hard work. I've gotten used to it over the years." Zhou Yang looked at Tanchun with a smile and found that she was staring intently at the sword in her hand. "As the saying goes, 'Practice in winter for three months and practice in summer for three days', any If you want to do things well, you have to work hard, and martial arts is just one of them, and it is a relatively easy choice—want to see it?"

"Thank you, Brother Zhou - oh, it's so heavy!" She took the sword carefully, pulled it out half a foot and faced the morning sun, squinted her eyes and observed carefully, and then sheathed the sword and returned it to Zhou Yang, "Brother Zhou Carrying such a sharp weapon every day is really like a 'sword with a hero' - I just saw you so close to nephew Lan, but I don't know if you can take care of another one? Anyway, with Brother Zhou's ability, he shouldn't care, right?"

"You girl, you are so smart, how can you say such unprofessional words?" Zhou Yang sighed softly. If the men of Jia's family had half the IQ of their girl, they wouldn't end up like "the vast white land is really..." "Clean", "Although no one cares about your brother, if I dare to take care of him, that's another topic."

Although Jia Huan is a "little frozen cat", he is not stupid. In the original novel, when Jia Zheng was taking the academic test, he performed better than Jia Baoyu more than once. Then what?Mrs. Wang always arranges for him to copy Buddhist scriptures and pick up Buddhist beans (pick up rice or beans one by one with chopsticks, and recite the Buddha's name after picking each one). No matter how smart or good a child is, he can be raised to waste!

In fact, not only Jia Huan, but also all the young people who might threaten Jia Baoyu in the Rongguo Mansion were not "treated" well. Jia Huan was later abandoned, so what about the "lonely" Jia Lan?Even Jia Lian, the orthodox heir, became the housekeeper of Rongguo Mansion. Wang Xifeng was too busy to take care of herself. After giving birth to Qiao's son, she had difficulty in confinement and suffered from "redness". The second baby boy was simply tired. had a miscarriage!
"Brother Zhou takes care of nephew Lan so much, but because of his sister-in-law?" With Tanchun's shrewdness, of course he would not fail to see the problem. He hesitated for a while before continuing to speak, "If the younger sister can do the same, would Brother Zhou be willing to take care of Brother Huan?" Son?"

"You're such a young girl, why do you think so much all day long?" Zhou Yang sighed softly and patted Tanchun on the head. He simply picked her up, climbed through the window and went back to the VIP room's bedroom, and poured her a glass. Shui said, "After all, I am an outsider, so I can't interfere too much in the affairs of this house. With your sister-in-law's current status, I can't do anything to take care of Lan'er, but if I take care of Brother Lian'er, you and your mother I can’t even bear it!”

"Woo--" Tan Chun couldn't help crying and threw herself into Zhou Yang's arms, "We are obviously a close family, why are we still calculating like this? The second brother is the son of the master. Isn't it possible that Brother Huan will succeed? ? Now he is being driven around by his wife every day, and he can’t even go to school, and the master and ancestors don’t even ask a single question!"

"Two years late!" Zhou Yang sighed. Tanchun was born on the third day of March in the year 37 of Longwu. He is only thirteen years old, but he is smarter than many modern "girls". "Brother Huan When my son is older, I will take him to the army and train him according to military methods, so that he can have a future. I can’t say more, but it is not difficult to get the title of fifth or sixth grade!"

"Thank you, Brother Zhou!" Tan Chun held back his tears and was about to stand up to salute, but was held down by Zhou Yang, "Brother Huan is very smart, and he will not let down Brother Zhou's kindness. My little sister just asked about Nephew Lan. , is it really because of my sister-in-law? What you did yesterday in the ancestral courtyard, I am afraid you can see it with just a little thought. "

"You girl, why are you so smart at such a young age?" Zhou Yang smiled and did not deny it, "Okay, go and play by yourself, you and Brother Huan are too young, let's talk about it two years later!"

"Is there still—Second Sister?" But I didn't want Tanchun to hold his arm stubbornly, hesitated for a while and continued, "She is now the female officer of His Royal Highness Yongchang, Brother Zhou is really as rumored, and the princess. "

"Where did you hear the rumors?" Zhou Yang asked angrily.

"If there is any news in this house, how can we hide it?" Tan Chun snorted disdainfully, then lowered his head with a red face, then raised his head again after a while, his tone was soft as if he was weak, "Ruodang She is truly a princess, so my little sister doesn’t have to worry about being wronged.”

"You girl." Zhou Yang was dumbfounded by her. He never thought that one day he would be chased by a junior high school girl.

"Brother Zhou, please rest!" Tan Chun's strength that had just been drained seemed to return in an instant. He pushed him away and ran to the window. He climbed over the window without forgetting to poke his head and said, "I just hope that Brother Zhou will see you again in two years." forget!"

"Little girl!" Zhou Yang smiled and watched Tanchun leave.
