2.19 Yinger, good assists
"Brother Zhou, Brother Zhou!" On this day, during Zhou Yang's daily exercise, a loud voice that was not familiar but not unfamiliar at all came from outside the courtyard door, "Hahaha, I knew you were here again. , what’s so good about practicing martial arts? How about going out for a drink with your little brother? Do you know, this girl on the Qinhuai River... Well, no, the night view on the Qinhuai River is so beautiful that no one would be willing to let go after seeing it, right? It means that I don’t want to leave.”

"I've seen Brother Wenlong!" Zhou Yang stared speechlessly at Xue Pan, who was the same age as him, only nineteen years old, but already a frequent visitor to the Qinhuai River. Sincerely, it's just that it's already mid-May, and there are not many days left until Qiu Wei, so I really don't have time."

"Hee hee, are you deflated again, young master?" Hearing Ying'er's familiar voice coming from the door, Zhou Yang didn't know that he was being "tested" again. At least the depressed and relieved expression on Xue Pan's face made him He had the idea of ​​punching him, "Xiangong Zhou would not go to that kind of place and soil himself for nothing!"

"Okay, I came today because I actually want to invite you to visit the Xuanwu Lake Garden." No matter how depressed he felt, Xue Pan still had no choice but to tell the truth. He, as a brother, really didn't have any respect for his sister. Er's prestige can be said, "Do you know Xuanwu Lake? How is the scenery there? Brother Zhou must have been yearning for it for a long time, right?"

"Xuanwu Lake?" Zhou Yang immediately realized something was wrong, "Brother Wenlong, if I remember correctly, that's the royal garden over there, right? How can we get in? What if we get into trouble? "

"Okay, my brother Zhou, since I dare to make arrangements, I have naturally solved the problem." Xue Pan grabbed his arm, turned to Ying'er and nodded, and then continued after seeing her leave, " It does have the title of 'royal', but no one from the royal family has arrived.

The last great use happened many years ago. The Emperor stayed there during his last tour to the south of the Yangtze River. Since then, not to mention the emperor, even the princes and princes have not been here again. Now, the Zhen family is in charge of it. On weekdays, apart from cleaning Maintenance is of no use, but if you want to maintain this garden well, it will cost a lot of money.

As early as a few years ago, the Zhen family secretly opened the door to let outsiders visit and enjoy a small amount of money. Fortunately, I dare not say anything else. There is plenty of money, and I entertain friends there more than once on weekdays. , you are already familiar with shopping, so you don’t need to worry. "

"You are familiar with shopping on weekdays? Entertaining friends? Not a small amount of money?" After looking Xue Pan up and down a few times, Zhou Yang finally understood that the name "Xue Dashou" was not just a view of people in the Jia family, it must be that this Jinling City Everyone has the same opinion, "Thank you very much, Brother Wenlong, but it's better to save money if you can, not as good as it is today."

"Good brother, I promised my sister that I would take her with me." Xue Pan interrupted him directly, with a malicious tone in his tone, "You really don't want to go? Think about it clearly. Although the Xuanwu Lake Garden is not good, Come in, but it’s intermittent on weekdays, and there are always tourists. If you don’t follow me, keep an eye out, if someone makes my sister unhappy.”

"Ahem, since Brother Wenlong is so elegant, I will naturally sacrifice my life to accompany you." After saying "It smells so good" without hesitation, Zhou Yang thought of another question, "I just don't know how you think of Sister Xue?" Knowing that this boudoir girl is not very convenient to go out."

"Thanks to that girl Ying'er." Xue Pan had no intention of hiding anything. "When my sister went out with her mother, she heard more than once about other families visiting Xuanwu Lake. Naturally, she was very envious, but this The girl is also an honest girl, and she never even mentioned it to me. If Ying'er hadn't said it, I wouldn't have known how sorry I was for my sister."

"Ying'er, what an assist!" I silently nodded 32 likes to this girl in my heart, but what I said was another topic, "That's right, your own girl should be hurt by yourself, anyway, you usually spend a lot of money when you go shopping with others." Money is not as cheap as your own family, but why do you think of me again?"

"Ying'er also mentioned it." Xue Pan said more cheerfully this time, "It's inevitable that there will be bumps and bruises when going out. It's inconvenient for women to take many people with them when they go out. It's not like I haven't seen Brother Zhou's capable younger brother before. It's just right. Yinger reminded me again, it couldn't be more appropriate!"

"Brother Wenlong, don't worry. I will bring everything I need to bring with me when the time comes, and I will never let any blind thing get within ten steps!" Zhou Yang affirmed without hesitation, patting his chest, and by the way Lifting up a hundred-jin stone pier, he threw it up and caught it three times in a row before putting it down, "Just in time to see, which bastard's body bones are harder than this stone pier!"

"That's good, that's good!" He looked at the small crater made by the stone that was still on the ground with lingering fear. Xue Pan nodded repeatedly, "Brother Zhou, please do it as soon as possible. I'll wait for you at the gate!"

"Hey, where is Sister Xue?" Looking at Xue Pan who was almost running away, Zhou Yang did not forget the main purpose.

"Don't worry, that girl Ying'er is here. Things were packed last night. She went back early just now. She must have packed the car by now. Don't keep us waiting!" Xue Pan's voice came from far away, It also allowed Zhou Yang to speed up preparations.With a long sword on his waist and a hard bow on his horse, he thought for a moment and asked the Li brothers to follow him with weapons. It only took Zhou Yang less than 5 minutes to rush to the gate of the Xue family, and even took care of the galloping horses in the courtyard. Fortunately, when he arrived at the door, he happened to see Xue Baochai's carriage just stopped.

"Sister, Brother Zhou is already here, can we go?" Xue Pan, who saw Zhou Yang going out and riding a fast horse, immediately lowered his head and said.

"Young Master, let's go!" Ying'er's voice soon came from inside the carriage, and a small team of more than ten people outside immediately set off, but they didn't know that the carriage was in another state.

"Damn it, how much benefit did you get from Xianggong Zhou? You even sold your own girl so completely!" Even though she was ashamed, Xue Baochai's yearning for the Xuanwu Lake Royal Garden still suppressed her idea of ​​"not going today" , plus Xue Pan is here, there is no need to think too much, but towards her "personal maid", it is a different attitude. Fortunately, she has not lost control yet, and she lowered her voice when speaking.

"What did the girl say? The girl has been talking about the beautiful scenery of Xuanwu Lake these days, so I mentioned it to the eldest young master. Unexpectedly, he agreed." Thinking of the "benefits" obtained from Zhou Yang these days, Ying'er couldn't help but her cheeks felt hot, so she had to lower her head and deal with her girl again, "As for Mr. Zhou, that was invited by the eldest young master - oops!"

"Ying'er, do you think I look like a fool?" Xue Baochai gritted her teeth and managed to control her emotions. Thanks to her usual dignity and self-control, "I won't break your legs when you go back this time, so as not to be betrayed by you." I still don’t know!”

"I don't dare!" Ying'er was so frightened that her voice began to tremble, but thinking about how gentle and dignified Xue Baochai was on weekdays, her heart gradually calmed down.

Not to mention the bickering between the master and servant, the journey was uneventful. In addition, the Xue family lived not far from Xuanwu Lake. Within half an hour, the convoy arrived at the entrance of the Xuanwu Lake Royal Garden, and saw Xue Pan going up alone. , and a young man dressed as a son of a young man spent half a stick of incense, and soon came back.

"Okay, let's go!" Xue Pan waved his hand carelessly to sign off, not forgetting to explain, "That person just now was Zhen Lang, the second master of the Zhen family. He is usually in charge of this place. We originally agreed yesterday Yes, I happened to bump into him today, so I went over to say hello."

"A member of the Zhen family?" Zhou Yang greeted the team into the garden and looked up at the second master of the Zhen family. He found that he just barely had the word "dandy" written on his face. At the same time, he also remembered Zhen. In the end of the "house raid" in the later period, it seems that everything is not without reason, "Brother Wenlong, have you asked clearly? There are no outsiders in this garden, right? What if I bump into Sister Xue?"

"Don't worry, how can I forget this?" You don't have time to go sightseeing. Just put your mind at ease in this garden. There are only a few of us inside and outside."

"An acquaintance of Brother Wenlong?" Zhou Yang asked, but the words "husband and dog friend" immediately came to mind. "Since we met today, you should also go over and say hello, right? Isn't it that you don't have friends on weekdays?" Do you want more people to play with?"

"That's natural, but in this case, Brother Zhou will have to worry about things in the garden." Xue Pan's eyes were shining, and it was obvious that his mind was no longer on "his sister's garden visit", "But don't worry, Whenever Brother Zhen Lang encounters such a situation, he clears it out in advance. There are no outsiders in the entire garden. Brother Zhou doesn't have to worry even if he lets his horse run wild. There is a racecourse in this garden, so Brother Zhou might as well take a look."

"Don't worry, I just like this." Zhou Yang murmured, but his eyes had already turned to the carriage. Fortunately, Xue Pan's mind only had the royal boat on Xuanwu Lake. If he saw the look in his eyes at this time, he might not be able to do it right away. Just break off the relationship.

Not to mention that these two people have their own thoughts, in the carriage at this time, Xue Baochai was glaring at his maid, so angry that he was completely speechless. Even Ying'er herself was already fooled!
