Chapter 385 5.67 It’s a coincidence that the crown prince of Prince Zhongshun arrived

Volume [-]

5.67 The arrival of the crown prince of Prince Zhongshun is a bit too coincidental.

Feeling that the whole box was getting more and more "enthusiastic", Zhou Yang shook his head speechlessly. When he followed Mr. Xu as a COSER in modern times, he had actually seen more flowers, but at that time he was just accompanying the drinks and didn't know each other. , so he didn’t take it seriously. This was the first time he had seen such a “live broadcast” of an acquaintance, so he went out after sitting for a while and went to the courtyard to get some fresh air.

"Brother Zhou, aren't you used to this?" Just when he was thinking about not smoking these days, he heard a knock on the door behind him, and turned around to find that all the Shi brothers had also walked out. It was the eldest brother Shi Gang who spoke, "Neither do I, my little brother." No matter how you look at it, it’s just that the world is like this, Brother Feng has already taken care of the atmosphere here, and there are many more powerful ones over there.”

"Why, is this all the place?" Zhou Yang was stunned for a moment. Can we still hang out in a "high-end consumer place"?What kind of privacy is there?
"It's not like they are all." Shi Luo took over the conversation with a smile, "It's just that there are a few in this courtyard. Yun'er is often visited by Wu Xun's lineage. There are others like this, but most of them are It’s the civil servant’s side, the courtyards of any book club or painting gallery are the same, many adults often come here, and some even work here.”

"Uh" This is obviously beyond Zhou Yang's understanding. At least in modern times, can you imagine that senior officials of the imperial court have their offices in a building?However, he also understood that Yun'er's relationship was mainly with Wu Xun. No wonder she appeared several times in the original work, so she should be "believable" - Zhou Yang didn't care anyway.

"I heard from the eldest sister that Brother Zhou went to Rongguo Mansion a lot of times?" The three of them were not familiar with each other, and they didn't have many topics to talk about. After a slight silence, Shi Gang brought the topic to something that everyone was familiar with, "I also want to talk about it." Thank you for taking care of me, that girl likes the gift you gave her very much."

"Eldest sister?" Zhou Yang was stunned for a moment before realizing that they were talking about Shi Xiangyun. "What's it worth? She's just a little girl. How much money can I spend on whatever she wants? Anyway, it's just for the three younger sisters of the Jia family. I’ll add one more gift to you; but two brothers, I just heard Mr. Wei mention that you are both in the Longjing Lieutenant?"

"I would also like to thank Brother Zhou for your help. Our brothers finally got some credit. My father took the opportunity to act like the palace manager and let us take up our posts in the Long Quanwei." Shi Gang said quickly, "A few days ago, Chen We brothers have been envious for several days that brothers Qian and Zhang Hao were lucky enough to work under my eldest brother. Speaking of which, they also drank and played together before."

"That's a coincidence." Zhou Yang smiled and saw that the two of them were indeed envious, "Chen Yongjia and Zhang Haitong are both in the same year as me, and there happens to be a place down there. On the one hand, there are people available, and on the other hand, I can take care of myself. People; two brothers, it is true that I have neglected you, but it was just because I was talking about a temporary position, so I didn’t think much about it, otherwise.”

As soon as he heard what the two people meant, he realized that the two most important inheritors of the Baolinghou Mansion had both joined the Dragon Guards. This was the historian's support for Emperor Yonghe. When it came to Prince Yi Zhong's military admonishment, the historian directly After abolishing everything except his title and title, and being completely kicked out of the top leadership of Wu Xun, he had another idea.

"Brother Zhou, it's true that we have such a good opportunity, but we didn't expect the brothers here." Just as he was talking, Feng Ziying's voice came from behind, "We don't dare to compete with those six families, let alone contact the four. Your Majesty, I finally got the opportunity with Brother Zhou, but I just gave it up."

"Brother Ziying is joking. If others can't contact the four princes, I don't dare to say anything. The friendship between you and Brother Shui Rong is not a secret in the capital." Zhou Yang smiled and replied, Of course he could tell that Feng Ziying was sincere in her envy of the six major princes' palaces, but she could only envy them.

"The young prince is indeed willing to help, but..." Feng Ziying smiled bitterly and shook her head without saying more. It was obviously because of the special position of the Feng family. "If I had known that Brother Zhou could have the position he is in now, there would be three brothers in a thousand households." I don’t dare to ask more, the other two Qianhu’s positions are not impossible, but now I’m afraid it’s too late.”

"Brother Feng, don't worry." Shi Gang said with a smile, "Although it is difficult to deal with the status of Qianhu, but doesn't Brother Zhou still have the positions of Deputy Qianhu and Zhenfu? Why, how many brothers inside see it? Not going?"

Deputy Qianhu and Zhenfu are transitional positions among the military positions of the Great Zhou Dynasty. There is nothing much to say about the former, while the latter can theoretically be set up, with five hundred households under its jurisdiction. However, the rights and responsibilities of these two positions obviously conflict, and generally they are not Will exist at the same time, and most of the time, subjugation is only used for some independent unit settings that are more powerful than superior, such as the cavalry subjugation under Zhou Yang.

"Brother Zhou?" Feng Ziying asked with a smile.

"Brother Ziying, forgive me, I can only apologize." Not to mention that there is no place in his hand, even if Zhou Yang really did have it, he would not arrange such a completely useless one. "Needless to say, the other two thousand households, under my subordinates No one can explain the three thousand households and the deputy thousand households, so the governor cannot make any further arrangements. I believe all brothers can understand the reason."

"That's the case, I'm talking too much for my brother." Even with Feng Ziying's cultivation, she still showed a disappointed look at this time, but it quickly disappeared, "Forget it, with Brother Zhou's ability, there will definitely be a way out in the future, you might as well go to We will talk about it when the time comes; on the other hand, as for His Highness Yongchang, I haven’t had a chance to see you for a while, and I don’t know when I offended him.”

"Brother Ziying is joking." Zhou Yang didn't bother to explain. Both sides have become opposing camps, so what else is there to talk nonsense about?
"Oh, you guys are so easy to find, why are they all here outside?" Just as he was talking, Yun'er had already chased him out, "Even if the girls in this courtyard are not in your eyes, what's wrong with this place?" It's not like the other slaves in the yard can't talk, so why not do it now"

"Okay, Yun'er, why don't we come out to have a word? Besides, there are several brothers in the room, and you are not waiting on them?" Seeing that Zhou Yang and Shi Jia brothers were too lazy to speak, Feng Ziying had to take over the conversation, "Why? , is it over already? This is not your habit, Yun'er!"

"Hey, if you can't even serve the guests well, what kind of business will the slave family have!" Yun'er waved her handkerchief with a "shy" look on her face, "Didn't they all go to the backyard? Except for the four of you, everyone else My uncle is much easier to serve!"

"Miss Yun'er, I advise you to be careful. One of you must not be able to stay here." Zhou Yang nodded coldly, "If Brother Bao really doesn't go back, it's hard to say whether your yard is safe or not." Live."

"Young master Zhou is joking, how dare you!" Yun'er's face stiffened, and she quickly explained with a forced smile, "Second Master Bao looks handsome and charming, but he is still a young boy. This veteran of the slave family can get some advantage. That's it, how can you really dare to serve? Didn't you just send someone outside to call the accompanying servants and quickly pick them up and send them back? "

"Yun'er, are you kidding?" All three men in the courtyard were stunned, and Feng Ziying couldn't help but ask, "How many people are there in Brother Bao's courtyard? Who in the capital doesn't know yet? He seems to be Longwu 36 You are a young person, right? How is it possible that you haven't even touched a girl?"

"Pfft..." Yun'er couldn't help but laugh, "The slave family didn't expect this. They just performed a beatboxing performance for Mr. Bao, but they didn't expect that he thought it was all over and had no idea what was going on below. program, the slave family then sent the girl to the backyard to rest, so that she could sober up and have someone pick her up quickly."

"Huh?" A man in the courtyard looked at each other strangely and didn't ask any more questions. "Okay, Brother Ziying, let's get busy first. I still have things to do at home, so I'll waste everyone's time." Seeing that the show was about to end, Zhou Yang didn't want to waste any more time. While he was speaking, there was a message outside the door. There was the movement of carriages and horses, "Let's get together when we have time - just in time, it must be Brother Bao's place outside."

"Oh, who doesn't have eyesight and dares to block the road? I didn't see the lantern of Rongguo Mansion - ah!"

"What's the matter? The young master is beating the slaves of the Jia family!" The next conversation made everyone in the courtyard change their expressions. "The beating is in vain. So what if you ask Jia She to come over? The young master will beat him together!"

"It's Guo Shen, the young prince of Prince Zhongshun!" Feng Ziying's face turned extremely ugly, "How did you meet this person by such a coincidence?"

"Brother Ziying, how did you deal with this kind of thing before?" Zhou Yang also changed his expression. Anyone who knows a little bit about the original work of Red Mansions knows that the Jia Mansion and the Zhongshun Prince's Mansion are not willing to deal with it. Especially at this time, there were obvious beatings and beatings coming from outside the door. Screaming, "We can't just let him continue to fight, right?"

"What can we do?" Feng Ziying smiled helplessly, followed by another scream, which made everyone even more headache, because they all heard that it was Jia Baoyu's voice. It seemed that it was a servant of the Jia family who picked him up from the back door, but unlucky He collided with Prince Zhongshun's palace.

"I'll go take a look!" After thinking for a long time, Zhou Yang decided to step forward. It was not because of Jia Baoyu, but because of the "disciple of Rongguo Mansion" on his head that he couldn't stay out of the matter. "Brother Ziying and some brothers will stop him. Leave that little prince to my younger brother."

"It's hard work for Brother Zhou!" Feng Ziying breathed a sigh of relief and asked the Shi brothers to go out together. As for the few who had already entered the backyard, they probably just "didn't hear" and haven't shown up yet, so they didn't want to stand out.

"Feng, what are you? You dare to stop the young master—oh, what are you, let me down!"

Zhou Yang was not prepared to fight to the death with Prince Zhongshun. The Jia family did not have such a big reputation for him to fight so hard, so his method was very simple. Let Feng Ziying and others attract attention. He went directly over and picked up the young prince. He turned back to the courtyard and closed the door. As for the increasingly lively fight outside, in the final analysis, it didn't matter at all.

"Is the young prince really so free?" Without the irrelevant people waiting, Zhou Yang spoke much more easily. With the lights in the courtyard, as soon as he put Guo Shen down, he was completely sure that the person in front of him was not indifferent, and what happened today should be It's intentional.

"Who are you—" Guo Shen had no intention of giving in.

"Little prince, you know the status of the man outside in Rongguo Mansion. If he is really defeated, the Jia Mansion will fight to the death with Prince Zhongshun. But I don't know if the prince is ready for a full-scale war?" The Jia Mansion is now defeated. He is so powerful that he can only reveal his background as a bargaining chip, "For example, the old lady of the Jia family went to Longshou Palace to cry and complain that the prince was lax at best in discipline, but she just didn't know what would happen to the young prince!"

"Are you Zhou Yang?" Guo Shen's expression returned to normal and he asked seriously.

"Otherwise, who would care about this person? I have a deep friendship with Brother Lian, but not him." Zhou Yang had no intention of hiding it at all.

"I have to give Aunt Yongchang face." Guo Shen glanced at him calmly, "You are not bad, and you know how to use the background of the Jia family as a bargaining chip, which is better than those wastes of the Jia family. Aunt Yongchang is right—don't Call me, leave two people to guard the door, the rest get out!"

"The young prince is wise!" Zhou Yang smiled and cupped his hands. He and Prince Zhongshun were not enemies.

"Since you understand that today's banquet seems to be Feng Ziying's place, are you not afraid of causing any misunderstanding?" As the outside gradually became quiet, Guo Shen's face gradually returned to its normal state, "I don't believe that you don't understand this. The way."

"Isn't it true that the prince is in poor health and the young prince won't go back to serve him?" Zhou Yang asked with a smile.

"You are very smart. I hope we will meet again." A smile slowly appeared on Guo Shen's face and he turned around and walked out of the yard. "Also, with your smartness, you shouldn't be so reckless when making friends."

Watching Guo Shen go out, Zhou Yang didn’t say anything more. The situation in the capital is tense now, but everyone with a little brain chooses to avoid it. Prince Zhongshun has reported sick leave since September, and he hasn’t been out of the palace so far. The actor's style of fighting with the Jia family is obviously also "building a character", so he will never want to make things worse.

"Brother Zhou, I saw the young prince left?" After a moment, Feng Ziying quickly entered the yard, "The two brothers from the Shi family have sent him away."

"Brother Ziying, don't worry, it's okay." Zhou Yang cupped his hands and left without saying another word.

Prince Zhongshun is known as the "loyalty of Emperor Yonghe", but his position is Da Zongzheng. He mainly manages the internal affairs of the royal family. Although he is also in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he also has Dai Quan, the eunuch of the Daming Palace who "supervises"; It can only be the emperor's hardcore, this time there are more phoenix eggs from Zhou Yang's "benefactor" Rongguo Mansion.

Then the Zhongshun Prince's Mansion had a conflict with the Jia Mansion, or in front of him, a "disciple of the Rongguo Mansion". What would be the result if he just ignored it and spread the word?What would Princess Yongchang, who is also the "benefactor", think?
There is no doubt that the arrival of Guo Shen, the loyal and shunned prince, was a coincidence!
