2.40 Once again I feel like I’m not dead yet
"Master!" An aggrieved female voice rang in his ears. Zhou Yang opened his eyes drowsily and found that the sun had sneaked into the bedroom through the cracks in the curtains. The whole room was already bright, just because it did not shine on the bedside. That's why I couldn't wake him up.

He casually touched his side and found that the beautiful woman was already far away. He held Suyun for half the night last night, so that he didn't get up in the morning and slept until three o'clock in the morning. Unexpectedly, his "partner" could endure the discomfort and got up and took the car back. After visiting Rongguo Mansion, it seems that "there are only exhausted cows and no damaged fields."

"Master——" This time the female voice was even more aggrieved, and even sounded a long note. Only then did Zhou Yang see clearly that his personal maid was standing beside the bed, carrying a basin, towel and other toiletries, with a dissatisfied look on her face. Staring at him, "The sun is beating down on your butt, why don't you get up? I've prepared breakfast. The young master worked hard last night, so I'll wait until I finish eating!"

"Qingwen, are you up?" He grabbed a towel and dabbed it with water on his face, trying to wake himself up a little. Zhou Yang smiled and greeted the maid, "There's nothing going on today, why did you get up so early? Why don't you take a rest? ?”

"Not only did I get up early, but I also went to bed very late yesterday!" She placed the basin on the washstand fiercely. Qingwen sat on the edge of the bed aggrievedly, reaching out to wipe away her tears. "I couldn't sleep because of the two shameless noises." , I had to get up and wash my clothes."

"Um" He sat up awkwardly and gently touched the maid's head. Zhou Yang said with a smile, "Damn girl, you are already living in the wing, how can you still be woken up? Don't you know how to plug your ears?"

"Woo——" Qingwen couldn't help crying, turned her head and looked at the shameless person fiercely, gritted her teeth, lifted the brocade quilt and got into the bed, ignoring the remaining decadent atmosphere and smell, " Young Master, are slaves and slaves so unpopular? You are like Sister Suyun and Grandma Li, why don’t you want slaves? "

"Damn girl, how old are you?" Zhou Yang was stunned for a moment, then knocked Qingwen's little head speechlessly, "Aren't you the son of Longwu in 33 years? You are only fifteen now, what is there to be anxious about? , is it possible that I can still..."

"Sixteen!" Qingwen couldn't help but interrupt him, and said with a tearful voice, "Many of the sisters in the village who are as old as me are married, and those who are not married are also engaged. Anyway, it's just the end of the year or At the beginning of next year, the young master doesn’t want any slaves. Will he sell the slaves when Grandma Xue comes in one day?”

"Good boy, you're still young!" Zhou Yang knocked her again angrily, "My daughter's family should not talk about marriage until she is an adult. Otherwise, it will definitely hurt her body, let alone give birth to a child. Level, if you are not careful, you will end up with one dead and two lives.

You only see those little girls getting married or getting engaged, but you don’t see how many girls who are thirteen or fourteen years old or slightly older die early before they see the beauty of life due to difficult childbirth or postpartum illness?The palace judge was the son of Longwu in 28 years, and Suyun was just like her but born in a smaller month, so it was okay. "

"Then -" Qingwen was obviously frightened. After all, in ancient times, information was not available. People often didn't even know what was going on in the next town. However, news within a certain range spread frighteningly fast. Young daughters-in-law often suffer from dystocia or die of postpartum complications. "Grandma Li also gave birth to her brother when she was only [-] years old. Isn't it okay?"

"Don't you know what kind of mansion Jia's Mansion is?" Zhou Yang's blow made her shed tears. She really didn't want to continue on this topic, "Okay, when the time comes, I will definitely accept you into the business." Right? Didn’t you yourself say that we are all in the same place anyway? Is it possible that I am still willing to let you go? "

"Then -" Qingwen still hesitated.

"Get up and help me wash up." Zhou Yang pushed the girl out of the bed, lifted the brocade quilt halfway and then covered it again, "Forget it, you can go out first, I don't need you to wait for me this morning."

"Pfft -" Qingwen immediately blushed when she realized the problem, lowered her head and spat before running out in a hurry.

It was the Mid-Autumn Festival. Zhou Yang and Qingwen worked together to prepare a table of delicious food. The master and servant set the dishes on the stone table in the courtyard. They looked at each other for a moment and then looked at the moon. This relieved a lot of loneliness. I simply took the maid out to drive out, and took advantage of the time when the curfew was lifted to visit the night view of the capital. They stayed until midnight, and didn't go back to the Li family's old house to rest until the night market closed.

It was not until August [-]th, when Zhou Yang was practicing swordsmanship and endorsements in the backyard, that noisy voices suddenly came from the front. After struggling for a while, he saw Su Yun supporting Li Wan, the master and the servant. They walked into the backyard happily, and seeing Zhou Yang staring at them, Suyun turned around and closed the courtyard door with a smile.

"Palace judge, are you here?" Fortunately, they had been tossing for a long time. Zhou Yang took the opportunity to wash himself briefly and change out of the sweaty clothes from practicing martial arts. As soon as the girl came in, he smiled and greeted her, holding one hand in his arms and asked , "Suyun said that you have been very busy for some time, and now you can rest well."

"Thank you for your concern!" Li Wan was obviously excited, but he still controlled his emotions. Unfortunately, his voice was trembling. After all, the two of them hadn't seen each other for a while, "I haven't congratulated you for your high school martial arts examination and your honorary title. It's a pity that I "I couldn't congratulate you in time, so today probably doesn't count." "Of course it's not too late!" Zhou Yang simply let go of Su Yun, hugged Li Wan, and kissed her hard, reluctant to let go for a while, "But it doesn't have to be too late. Seriously, martial arts is just a process for me to rise, but it is by no means the end. When I truly have an identity, I will take you out of that cage, okay?"

"Yeah!" Li Wan shed tears of excitement and nodded vigorously, "I now believe that you can do it one day! Ziyang knows, since Lan'er was born, until I heard about you After winning the title of Wu Jieyuan, I once again felt that I was not dead. If it hadn't been for Lan'er all these years."

"Palace Judge!" Zhou Yang interrupted her with a low voice, hugged her tightly and looked at Su Yun, "Have the arrangements been made by the gentlemen in your house?"

"Pfft..." Suyun, who had been crying along with him just now, was amused by his "Uncle", "Young master, don't worry, everything has been arranged. The one who came to serve this time is the leader of Lin Zhixiao's family. The couple has always They are jokingly called "deaf and mute", a pair of saw-mouthed gourds, and they usually don't offend anyone. When our grandma was running the house, we got a lot of help from them and gave them no less favors. We were quite filial on weekdays. .”

"When you go out, just say that you have finally come out. You don't need them to serve you today. Let them have fun in the city." Zhou Yang knew that these slaves couldn't even enter the main courtyard, let alone hear the noise in the backyard. There is no movement, but it is better to make arrangements first. After all, "Ten thousand times of being careful is not too much, but one accident is enough." "You can hint to them that your grandma has many things, and it is not convenient for them to know too much."

"Don't worry, young master!" Su Yunqiao felt blessed and turned around and headed straight to the front yard.

"Why, is there a lot of pressure there?" Zhou Yang gently hugged Li Wan back to the room, and asked with a smile, "Why did I hear Su Yun say that you are still in charge of many things?"

"There are still things that I have to take care of." Li Wan smiled bitterly and shook his head, "It's just that my wife is too busy, so she asked me to do something. But everything that is slightly beneficial does not need to be reported to her? It turns out that my husband is still here.”

"Huh?" Zhou Yang stared at her dissatisfied.

"When Lan'er's father was still here," Li Wan rolled his eyes angrily, but still changed his title obediently, "Who in the house wasn't flattering? After I became pregnant with Lan'er, no one would dare to Say more, who knows that a small cold will turn out to be..."

"Squatting at home for a long time, I just study hard, and my body is so bad that my resistance is so low that I can't even bear a slight cold." Zhou Yang shook his head. This was also a common problem among ancient scholars, "So , Lan'er must be careful, never make the same mistake again, and must let him exercise well to prevent him from making the same mistake again."

"At that time, I was still pregnant with Lan'er, and my wife took away the power of the housekeeper. She just asked me to take good care of the baby." Li Wan said softly, "But I don't want to be too busy from now on except for big things. He actually never mentioned that he asked me to take charge of the house. As long as there are some good things in the house, he always sticks to the one with the jade, forgetting that Lan'er is the serious master."

"None of you are." Zhou Yang gave her a slap on the nose angrily, "If we really count, the heir to the title of Rongguo Mansion is Jia She, and the serious heir is Brother Lian, unless the eldest brother dies. Otherwise, it will definitely not be the turn of any of your second wives, whether it is Lan'er or the one with the jade you mentioned, there will be no chance!"

"If that's not the case, why did I give you an advantage in the first place?" Li Wan glared at him dissatisfied, but still obeyed and let him play with him, "I only hope that when Langjun becomes more powerful in the future, he will not forget the pain I have suffered today, and treat Lan'er Just take care of him - pamper Wan'er, everything about Wan'er belongs to the husband!"

"What?" Zhou Yang didn't react and looked at the beauty in his arms in surprise.

"You - you damn person, do you have to make me die of shame?" Li Wan's cheeks turned red in shame, but he still suppressed his shame and lightly hammered someone, then squeezed into Zhou Yang's arms, "Okay, you Come on, just do it, if not"

"no problem!"
