6.32 Sichun: Brother Zhou is really

A far-from-gorgeous carriage slowly drove out of the side gate of Rongguo Mansion and soon joined the horse team waiting outside. Ten soldiers marched in columns on both sides of the carriage. Zhou Yang led the group with the Li brothers. He walked calmly through Ningrong Street and walked away until he turned into an alley and disappeared in the eyes of the servants who greeted the Jia family.

This girl who originally got the title of "virtuous concubine" didn't even get the identity of the main wife in this life. She just drove out in a carriage; she didn't get to wait for the beautiful scenery of the Forbidden City where "the pomegranate flowers bloom and illuminate the palace." , but she no longer has to bear the ups and downs of a family as a woman, let alone think about "the tiger and the tiger meet and the dream returns".

The journey on both sides was not far, and it took only half a cup of tea to get back to Zhou's house. This time the carriage did not enter the main courtyard, but entered from the main entrance of the easternmost courtyard and parked directly in the front yard. Zhou Yang smiled at He squatted down in front of the carriage door, carried Yuan Chun on his back, and walked towards the "Sichun Courtyard". Li Wan, who got off the carriage, chuckled and followed slowly.

"Elder Sister?" Until the three of them walked to the door of the living room, Sanchun, who was playing the game of throwing pots together, didn't notice at all. Xichun, who just turned around, saw that she was putting down a beauty in a palace costume, and asked unconfidently—— She had entered the palace in Yuanchun when she was very young, and the two of them had not really met - "Brother Zhou, is he really the eldest sister?"

"Have you forgotten what I said at the beginning?" Zhou Yang stepped forward with a smile and rubbed Xichun's head, "Also, don't forget our agreement. Now that I have done it, what did you promise?"

"Brother Zhou is good at everything. It's just that kind of thing that makes people hate him." Tan Chun said angrily, and ran to Yuan Chun and Ying Chun who were already hugging each other and crying. Although Sichun was Sisters, in fact, only Yingchun has actually met Yuanchun. "Sister, will you stay here from now on?"

"Well!" Yuanchun Lihua raised her head like rain, first glanced at the three sisters' faces, and finally looked at Zhou Yang, "We will never separate from now on!"

However, compared to the happy Yingchun, Tanchun and Xichun were more strangers. The two had never had any communication with the eldest sister in front of them. Even this meeting was actually very sudden.

"Okay, whether you are happy or excited, we have plenty of time to chat slowly in the future." Zhou Yang smiled and squeezed between Yuanchun and Yingchun, hugging the two girls, then looked at Yuanchun and said, "Why don't you go and see Watching the second uncle in politics? It’s not like I can’t afford to wait, but now I’m acting as if I’m a bully who robs civilian girls, and I’m actually keeping you father and daughter from seeing each other.”

"So what if I see you or not?" Yuanchun slowly leaned on Ai Lang's chest and said quietly, "When I was sent to that shameful place, how could I have thought about seeing you again? Before entering the palace, I begged everyone in the house and my ancestors Whether it's good or not, father, all of them just talk about "entering the palace to enjoy blessings" and so on, how have they ever thought about the suffering inside?
Now more than ten years have passed, so what if we say goodbye?Anyway, there will be many opportunities to see each other again in the future, so it is better to wait for a few days until everyone is ready, and it is easier to say goodbye, so as not to sit in silence like that in the ancestral courtyard in the morning. It is all up to Sister-in-law Lian to smooth things over. There is nothing to say. "

"Palace judge?" Zhou Yang immediately turned to Li Wan who was following him and asked.

"Isn't it?" Li Wan smiled helplessly, "I didn't actually see Sister Yuanchun when she entered the palace. I only heard Lan'er's father mention it a few times after entering the palace; but a bunch of minions in the palace, one by one, As if he really knows, he talks nonsense like 'enter the palace to enjoy happiness' and 'sooner or later you will be the empress'."

"I remember that before I left, Baoyu was only two or three years old. I learned the rules from my nanny every day. The happiest time was holding my brother, playing with him or teaching him to study. But I didn't want to see him for more than ten years. He was brought up like this by his family, and in just one day, I didn't hear a single good thing about him.

The mother only cares about doting, but doesn't mention studying and making progress at all. How is this the way our young master should be?I haven't seen my second brother Lian yet. These two men are the only young men in the house. They were brought up to be like this. What should I say when I see my father and uncle? " Yuanchun's voice already sounded like crying.

"Sister, please keep your eyes open." Li Wan sighed softly, moved an embroidered pier and sat across from the couch, "Compared to what you said, the more troublesome things are actually yet to come. A few days ago Baoyu did the funeral of Brother Rong in the East Mansion. The wrong thing was originally explained repeatedly in the mansion, but he didn't want the rumors that have spread all over the city.

Baoyu was born in the 36th year of Longwu, and is now sixteen. In the past, the messy things that came out of the house made his marriage difficult. Now, even the few matchmakers who are greedy for rewards no longer come to his door. , the family's relatives were originally considered, but most of them ended up in someone's yard, and they don't know what the future will be like. "

"Why, can't I do it here?" Someone was very dissatisfied.

"I remember you mentioned just now that you want the four sisters to agree to something unconditionally, right?" Li Wan stared at someone with a half-smile, which made him look blank, "If my guess is right, I guess you want to Are they together? After all, it's just your hobby. Who in the family doesn't know about it? "

"Ahem, you just said, Brother Bao's marriage?" Zhou Yang wisely changed the subject.

"Sister-in-law, is Baoyu really like this?" Yuan Chun hurriedly asked, not only him, but the other three springs also turned their heads to look over, asking questions. "That's not the case." Li Wan smiled helplessly, "Eldest sister, have you forgotten about Miss Fu Qiufang who was sitting with us in the ancestral courtyard this morning? Except that she is a little older and a little more thoughtful, she is pretty good. , if the ancestor agrees to let her be paired with Baoyu, the housekeeper will be at least better than Feng Lazi in the future."

"Let it go." Yuanchun was obviously disinterested, "Now that we are in this situation, we don't even care about our father and mother. What can I do as a sister? Anyway, I have left that shameful place now. Thank you Brother Zhou. And the empress, um, the empress’s grace and care.”

"Okay, it's all over." Zhou Yang only looked at Yuan Chun's suddenly flushed cheeks, and knew that she remembered the experience of "gracious care" in the palace, so he hugged her tightly and changed the subject, "From now on, you sisters will stay together , we will never be separated again for the rest of our lives, and I promise you that no one in this world can bully you except myself!"

"You're just bullying poor people like us who are capable." Li Wan rolled his eyes at him, grabbed him and walked out the door, "Okay, the four sisters haven't seen each other for many years. I guess they have a lot to say. I'm going to do this My sister-in-law will not disturb you; anyway, there will be many opportunities in the future, and Ziyang and I just happened to discuss something."

The Sichun sisters just looked at the two people going out stupidly, turned around and went straight to the west wing. After entering, they even closed the door behind them. Then they bolted the door and drew the curtains in a hurry, even if it was nothing. The children all understood that they must be doing something that was not suitable for asking questions.

"Second sister, this-" Yuanchun, who didn't understand the situation, was a little dumbfounded.

"Okay, big sister will get used to it from now on." Yingchun said helplessly and refused to say more.

"Humph, Brother Zhou is really - how can he be such a treacherous person?" Xichun, the youngest, has no such worries, "We are just sisters. Anyway, in the future, we will either marry this family or make friends with another family. It doesn't matter which one is cheaper. , if my eldest sister-in-law spreads the truth like this, what kind of dignity will the house have?"

"Sister-in-law?" Yuanchun glanced at the east wing and turned away. She was not too surprised by this. How could she catch up with the Queen Mother in the palace?Now he has even conceived a child for him, "That's all. We people in the inner court just need to take care of the affairs of the inner court. Brother Zhou is responsible for the affairs outside."

"That's right!" Tan Chun rolled his eyes and cleverly picked up a wooden arrow to change the subject, "Why don't we continue playing this game? I was left so far behind by the fourth sister just now. I want to win this time. return!"

The four sisters looked at each other and said nothing more. However, the west wing not far away was obviously not so "quiet"——

"Good man, please stop." Nearly half an hour later, Li Wan tried his best to stop a certain animal and finally stopped the impact. "Now there is no choice in the mansion over there. Basically, the Fu family has decided Girl, my ancestors guessed that you would come over last night and discussed something with me in advance.

In the future, Baoyu's wedding will be a big one, so there will be a need to help with greetings at the scene. What the mansion wants to do is to ask you to help, and be a 'matchmaker' when the mansion goes to Fu's house to deliver the invitation. Even at the wedding, your hard work is indispensable, helping to pick up the distinguished guests who come to the door. "

"Isn't your old lady finished yet? Don't even think about sending the message. I have promised Brother Fu that when the Fu family's sister goes out, she will be a 'mother' and help the Fu family to cheer up." Zhou Yang had already agreed. Fu Qiufang, of course, would not agree to another family, but remembered the conditions that Fu Qiufang agreed to at the beginning, "It's the day of Brother Bao's wedding, I'm sure I'll be fine."

"Anyway, I can have an explanation when I go back." Li Wan didn't say much, and nodded in agreement with a smile.

"You have to go back later." Zhou Yang sat up and found the clothes that were thrown into a ball, and took out the divorce letter from Jia Lian from his pocket, "Just bring this to Feng Lazi to reassure her; I I originally thought of giving it to Yuanchun directly when I picked her up, but then I thought about not making the matter bigger, so why don't you help take her there so that she can be prepared."

"You men—" Li Wan's face changed suddenly after turning over for a while, and he put away the divorce letter and said helplessly, "No wonder Brother Lian has never entered Feng Lazi's yard again these days. He just came back during the day and returned at night You never stayed overnight; that’s all, you have even prepared the divorce papers, what else can I do?”

"Thank you for your hard work!" Zhou Yang smiled and nodded.

"Hard work - hum!" Li Wan pushed him down angrily and said, "I don't know how long it will take, so I'll work harder!"
