5.75 The second sister arrived at Brother Zhou’s place first.

On October [-]th, the inner courtyard of the Zhou Family Courtyard was filled with joy.

"Little sister has met Brother Zhou!" Otherwise, I’m afraid it will be a lot of trouble for the servants in the mansion to follow.”

"How did the fourth sister know that she would come here?" Zhou Yang asked with a smile.

"I'm afraid Brother Zhou doesn't know, but I knew that I was coming here ever since I received the post from my second sister saying that His Highness Dai Yongchang invited us sisters to come and have fun." Tan Chun said while holding back a smile, "Please forgive me, brother. Today, sister Yun happened to come to the mansion to visit the old ancestor, and the younger sister brought her along without permission."

"Hehe, I'm afraid Brother Zhou wouldn't have thought of it. Although we have never met His Highness Yongchang, we understand the truth. She must have many things to do every day, so how can she have time to see us? What's more, the younger sister also understands the temper of the second sister, and it is definitely not the case. A proactive person, I think it is Brother Zhou's grace that I have such a pastime this time?" Xichun said with a smile.

"What's it worth? It's just an extra pair of chopsticks and a few more dishes." Zhou Yang smiled and nodded to Shi Xiangyun who was not far away. Then he patted Xichun's head gently and said, "You're smart, two people last night When my sister comes over, I’m thinking of picking you up to relax for a day. Anyway, I’ve prepared a lot of things, so it’s no problem to add Sister Yun.”

"The second sister arrived at Brother Zhou first?" Shi Xiangyun stepped forward and bowed before hearing Zhou Yang's explanation. He also asked innocently, but he immediately realized, "It turns out that the younger sister is talking too much."

"Okay, Sister Yun, don't think too much. I will make arrangements with Uncle Sheng so that I won't mistake the second sister's identity. But I haven't told you about it now. Please keep it a secret." Zhou Yang smiled and waved to them. , "Okay, you can just go to the inner courtyard garden. Qiying, Yan Ling and Qingwen have already prepared things for you. There is also Sister Qin from the second room of the Xue family to the west. You just want to meet us together."

Not to mention Xichun and Shi Xiangyun who ran to Xikuoyuan with cheers. Tanchun was about to go there as well, but stopped after taking a few steps and returned to Zhou Yang again. He raised his head and looked at someone silently, but his cheeks gradually faded. reddish.

"Brother Zhou, I heard that the garden where I used to play as a child has been turned into an outer study?" After hesitating for a long time, she said softly, "I have only seen it twice, and I really miss it. , but I don’t know if I can bother Brother Zhou and take my younger sister to have a look again?”

"Huh?" Zhou Yang was stunned for a moment, looked at Tanchun in front of him in surprise, nodded without hesitation, and reached out to hold the girl's delicate hand and said with a smile, "Since the three sisters look at each other, it's natural that it's okay Yes, let’s go, let’s go there now, there happens to be no one there, so it’s a bit quieter.”

"Thank you, Brother Zhou!" Tan Chun's cheeks were flushed, but he still let him be led, and walked slowly towards the outer study courtyard.

It has already entered the severe winter. There had just been light snowfall two days ago. The garden was originally in a normal state, but now it was covered with a thin layer of snowflakes. Under the warm winter sun, it looked crystal clear, and there was a nice addition to the garden. Beauty.

"Third sister, are you cold?" Just as a gust of cold wind passed by, Tanchun couldn't help but hugged his shoulders. Zhou Yang said quickly, "Come inside first. You have been to that greenhouse too, and now it is used as a greenhouse by me." The layout of the study has been changed a lot, but it still has a fire burning, so it’s definitely very warm.”

"Thank you for your understanding, Brother Zhou." Tan Chun nodded lightly and let someone lead him into the room.

The conservatory, which was originally fully open, is now separated by exquisitely carved wooden screens on both sides of the living room. One side is a spacious study room, desk and other office purposes, and the other side is equipped with a large bed, wardrobe, etc., which can be used for rest; As soon as he entered the door, he ran straight to the side of the study with bright eyes, looking enviously at the four treasures of the study on the desk.

"Why, the third sister likes it?" Zhou Yang asked with a smile, and then thought of the reason, "Blame me for forgetting that my sister loves calligraphy and copybooks. Unfortunately, I am a rough person and have never known much about these. If my sister likes something, feel free to Take it, it doesn’t matter if it’s not here, as long as you can remember it, just tell me and I will definitely find it for you.”

"Brother Zhou!" Tanchun's cheeks were flushed, he turned around and threw himself into someone's arms, but he was caught off guard, "Did you remember what little sister mentioned last time?"

"I'm going to say that I forgot?" Zhou Yang took the girl and sat on the chair, deliberately teasing, "It's been so long, who still remembers what I said back then."

"Hmph!" Tanchun hadn't noticed someone's teasing, so he hammered lightly and said, "Brother Zhou, did you agree?" "You girl, if I say no, even I can't bear it." Zhou Yang He smiled softly, hugged her hard and said, "It's just that you are a little smaller now. I remember that you were born on the third day of March in the year 37 of Longwu, right? You are not even fourteen this year. Even if I promise you, at least It will take a few years.

The biggest problem now is how to talk to the second uncle Zheng. Pardoning the uncle is not difficult. The big deal is that the betrothal gift here is a little thicker, but the second uncle Zheng has always been disgusted with this. Fortunately, you are still young and can take your time to care about it. Since I agreed Come down, I will never let you down, I will never leave you in this life. "

"Little sister, I believe it!" Tanchun's eyes were red and he couldn't help but shed tears, "Although I have good clothes and good food in the house, I always feel that something is missing; even though the second sister, the little sister and the fourth sister are also supporting the house Miss Li's identity does not allow her to have much autonomy, not to mention that the younger sister is a concubine, and it is even more difficult for her to speak. It was not until she met Brother Zhou and was so kind to him that the younger sister discovered that she could be like this."

"Okay, it's all over." Zhou Yang gently wiped away her tears, "I have also heard about what happened to you in Rongguo Mansion. I used to think that you deliberately alienated your biological mother and biological brother. Last time you told me When you offered to take care of Brother Huan, I realized that you had other plans."

"Auntie, she can't control her temper, and Brother Huan is even worse." Tan Chun sighed helplessly, "Although Madam looks fine, my little sister knows that she doesn't have the temperament of a Bodhisattva. If she is Let her, Aunt Huan and Brother Huan have no choice but to stay away from each other on weekdays for fear of being younger, so as to save them from further suffering; even so, whenever Brother Huan showed signs of being close to each other, he would always copy scriptures and pick up Buddhist rice. "

"Your wife, huh!" Zhou Yang was really disdainful of Mrs. Wang, "You can only bear with it for now. After all, I can't do anything directly. When I pick you up in the future, I won't be able to talk to your aunt. Brother Huan can still take care of me."

"Thank you, Brother Zhou. I just hope to pick up my little sister as soon as possible, and let her leave for too long. If those girls find out what's going on, I'm afraid she will be teased by them again. Little sister will go over now. !" Tan Chun blushed as he spoke, gently pushed someone away and ran towards the door.

"Don't worry!" Zhou Yang nodded vigorously and watched the girl leave.

After sitting there and thinking for a moment, he estimated that the girl had gone far, and then he got up and left the outer study courtyard. Before he could rush over, he heard laughter and laughter in the inner courtyard garden from a distance, mixed with a few sword whistles and exclamations from time to time. You can guess without looking that it must be Zhao Yanling showing off his sword skills to the girls again.

"Qiying, what stimulation did Yan Ling receive this time?" When they entered the garden, they found Zhao Qiying standing at the outermost edge. Zhou Yang stepped forward and asked with a smile.

"A few sisters found it boring to sit there, so they took a silk flower and played the game of beating the drum to pass the flower around. Whoever's turn it was would read a poem about the snow scene. Yan Ling and I didn't understand this, so she said she wanted to go all the way. "Dharma substitution, that's not it, she has already practiced the 'Seven Star Chain' sword technique for the third time, and the sisters haven't reacted yet." Zhao Qiying said while holding back a smile.

"This girl!" Zhou Yang smiled and glanced at the girls in the yard. Not to mention Sanchun and Shi Xiangyun, Xing Xiuyan and Xue Baoqin also had outstanding literary talents. When these people get together, they will definitely be either couplets or antiphons. If Zhao Qiying and Zhao Yanling were It’s weird to be able to keep up. “Everyone is different and has his or her own talents, so it’s impossible to generalize.”

"That's right." Zhao Qiying took the initiative to lean into Ai Lang's arms and raised her head to send her sweet words. Although it was just a touch, it happened to take advantage of the other girls' backs to add a little more flavor, "Although Yan Ling and I were talking about it when we were kids. Practicing martial arts is hard, but I’m even more afraid of reading and memorizing. I can memorize the sword and boxing manuals three or two times, but I’m still unfamiliar with the three-character classic, and I don’t know what’s wrong.”

"Hahaha!" Zhou Yang couldn't help laughing. If he had been good at studying, he wouldn't have gone to a "civilian and martial arts school". In the end, he was able to get a college diploma by relying on his reputation as a "sports student"; but his smile didn't matter. , just attracted the eyes of all the girls, Zhao Qiying, who had several pairs of beautiful eyes, pushed someone away gratefully.

"Hey, isn't this General Zhou? Why come to the small courtyard for entertainment when you have time?" All the other girls blushed with shame, but Xue Baoqin didn't have the slightest awareness of the girl's family. There are so few people that we can't enjoy it, but there is another one who will be taken away, the little girl really wants to cry for the beauty of this garden!"

"Really?" Zhou Yang immediately put on a fierce expression, snatched the sword from the hand of Zhao Yanling who had just come over, stared at Xue Baoqin and shouted, "Anyway, everything is ruined, idleness is idle, why not catch it Give this girl a good beating and make everyone happy!"

"Ah -" Xue Baoqin exclaimed and ran behind Yingchun, "Second sister, please save me. The bad guys are coming to snatch my little sister and make her the wife of Yazhai!"

"Then why don't you just go with it? I heard that the village is popular and popular, so why should I treat you badly?" However, Zhao Yanling snatched her out of Yingchun's arms and threw her to someone, "Just one less person. For those who want to eat, we didn’t save enough on the food we prepared for lunch!”

"Help -" Ignoring Xue Baoqin's "screams", a group of plastic sisters looked at the girl who was being rubbed and tickled, and they couldn't help laughing - there were many people in the yard, but no one mentioned "the difference between men and women" "The problem.
