Volume Two

2.58 Our girl is the same age as the slave.

He discussed the next arrangements with Xue Tu and Xue Xun. When the discussion was finally completed, it was already approaching noon. Seeing that Xue Tu's condition was getting worse and worse, Zhou Yang got up and took Xue Xun to leave. The three of them had to leave because of this morning. The amount of information was too large, and no one mentioned anything like "eating together". They all wanted to go back and sort it out.

"Hehe, Mr. Zhou is back?" As soon as he entered the courtyard of the guest room, he heard a familiar smile, which made him subconsciously turn around and close the door tightly, "No, this slave should call me 'Master Zhou' now." Yes, sir, please forgive me, geek—"

"Little thing, you're so funny!" Zhou Yang entered the living room and knocked on the little beauty in front of him. If it wasn't Ying'er, who was it? "Also, I recognize this 'Master', but I will change it to 'Young Master' or 'Master' in the future, not because of my martial arts status, but because after some time, you have to do this honestly Call me, and you’ll never have to change again in your life!”

"Master?" Ying'er was stunned for a moment, and it took her a while to react, with a look of surprise on her pretty face, "But our master has already -"

"Uh-huh!" Zhou Yang raised his eyebrows and gave Ying'er a look that said, "I'll understand for myself."

"Slave——" Ying'er became incoherent for a while, the corners of her mouth moved several times before she could speak, she rushed over and was about to kneel down to salute, "Slave has seen—ah!"

"Silly girl!" Zhou Yang stepped forward and supported her. This girl had focused on him from the beginning. She was a staunch "one of his own". He had no intention of letting her kneel down to him every time in the future, " Are you relieved now? I can promise you now that when the girl from the You family comes in, I will never let you leave the Zhou family again, are you satisfied? "

"My servant, thank you, Master!" Ying'er burst into tears. For a little girl like her, being able to marry a young lady and be "promoted" as an aunt by a young lady is the highest pursuit in her life. She has not yet waited for her. How can you not be excited if you achieve your goal ahead of schedule by "struggle"?
"Okay, why cry!" Zhou Yang smiled and stroked her head, letting her enjoy herself in his arms, "From now on, as long as you serve your girl well, I also promise you that your good days will still be long! "

"Yeah, yeah!" Ying'er suppressed her tears and nodded vigorously.

"I almost forgot, why are you here?" Seeing the maid comforted, Zhou Yang asked with a chuckle.

"When we girls heard that the uncle was back, we were too embarrassed to come and see it, so we sent our slaves here." Ying'er then remembered her responsibilities and quickly explained, "It's all the fault of those dog slaves in the concierge. Such a big thing didn't happen. tell us!"

"Haha, your wife asked them to keep it a secret first. You girls have been tired for such a long time, so it's better to take a rest." Zhou Yang said with a smile, "Anyway, I just came here last night. It's not too late to find out today." Bar?"

"Oh!" Ying'er nodded and said with a smile, "If our girl knew that the young master was coming, I don't know how happy she would be. Does the master need a slave to bring her here? Then of course you will - hehe! "

"Damn girl, if you girls know that you want to sell her again, I won't break your legs." Zhou Yang couldn't help but smile and gave her a hook nose, "Besides, don't think too much, you guys We are still young, but our days are still long!”

"Young?" Ying'er said she couldn't understand, "Our wife married into the Xue family when she was thirteen years old, and we had our uncle Pan at fifteen, isn't it great now? I'm sixteen this year. Our girl is the same age as this slave, so within next year we will be able to—cluck!”

"You, you'd better go back and take good care of your girl. If you continue to mess with me, I really can't control it any more!" He simply rubbed her face hard, suppressed some thoughts in his heart and pushed her out of the courtyard door. "Let's go quickly, so you girls won't have to wait any longer!"

"Our girl is in a good mood!" Ying'er gave her a resentful roll of her eyes, and left honestly, but she didn't forget to explain, "Master, don't lock the door too early tonight, remember to keep some. I like to walk in the garden and eat before going to sleep!”

"I know, little hoof!" Zhou Yang knocked her lovingly and quickly closed the door, "I will never forget it."

That night, in the small garden of the guest room courtyard, the oval-shaped crescent moon hung in the clear sky, illuminating the already spacious open space. The climate had entered late autumn, and the slightly chilly night wind gently blew in the air that had just begun. The autumn green plants and flowers bring out bursts of "salsa", which has a unique sense of beauty.

"Little sister has seen Brother Zhou!" At this time, the little man who was already standing among the flowers used a slightly trembling voice to give the tall figure in front of him a blessing, as gentle as a touch of water lotus, and as if it were a flower. As gorgeous as peonies in full bloom.

"Baochai!" Zhou Yang didn't have such good self-control. He stepped forward and took this little person into his arms. He didn't even care about the super giant crab claws and hugged the slim and girlish girl. She got up, but she couldn't bear to hurt her, "I haven't seen my sister for a long time. Do you miss me?"

"You——" Even though she had already seen him in the Xuanwu Lake Garden, Xue Baochai still had a look of helplessness on her face, and an intoxicating blush slowly climbed up her cheeks, "My little sister has her own things to do at home. , My father is ill these days, how can my little sister have the time to think about something that is not there?" "Huh?" Zhou Yang remembered Wang Shuying's explanation when he heard it. Xue Tu deliberately concealed the injury from the outside world, even to himself The pair of children kept it secret, and couldn't help but sigh softly, and asked her not to fall into distress for the time being, "How dare you not think about it, how brave you are, look at my invincible tickling magic!"

"Giggle--" The reunion after a long absence and the fact that her life was decided, also made the always dignified sister Bao forget her usual reserve. While avoiding someone's "attack", she did not forget to continue to provoke, "If you don't want to, don't want to , I just don’t want to—luck, Brother Zhou, please spare my little sister!”

In the corner, Ying'er looked at the couple of masters fighting in front of her, but her mind gradually wandered away, and the content turned to the sweetness and happiness of the future, so that her pretty face gradually became charming and unbecoming of her age. flush.

At the same time, Xue's back house.

"Second brother, are you dissatisfied with my decision?" Xue Tu asked with a smile, looking at Xue Xun who was just drinking and picking up food without saying a word.

"Little brother, I don't dare." Xue Xun said with a serious face.

"Second brother, it's not that I want to hand over half of the Xue family's property, but that Wenlong can't hold on to it at all." Dear? But if these things are given to Wenlong now, it will completely harm him!

It's not like I haven't thought about it. To put these in your hands, you only need to spend a sum of money to let the three of them go to Beijing and take shelter in the Jia family and the Wang family. But I gave up after considering Ziyang's identity. After all, according to the rules of the world, scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, without the protection of the court, the more money you have, the faster you will die. "

In fact, this was also his arrangement in the "original work", but both Xue Xun and Mrs. Xue were very unwilling to do so and still "persisted" in Jinling for several years. Unfortunately, without the big businessmen behind the scenes, that was sweet. In the end, Mrs. Xue couldn't bear the fat anymore, so she went to Beijing to escape in the name of "sending Xue Baochai to be selected". The second house of the Xue family survived for a few more years, but also collapsed after Xue Xun's death.

"But, brother, let alone his reputation as a martial arts scholar, how could he possibly keep this family fortune even if he won the martial arts scholarship the year after tomorrow?" Little brother, it’s absolutely possible.”

"Confused!" Xue Tu interrupted him angrily, "Second brother, do you really want the Xue family to be known as 'pirates' in the future? Originally, if he was the only one, I was planning to only hand over the business in Gyeonggi Province. Go out, you are in charge of Jiangnan, and then use the relationship of the Jia family to contact the Zhen family, but you know the rules of the Zhen family, it has always been [-]% of the shares, plus filial piety at the end of the year, and the autumn breeze on weekdays. Taking into account the management of other companies, if there is some way, would you be willing?

Now that Ziyang has tied up with the Chen family of the Duke of Qi, it is naturally best. Why don't I want your sister-in-law to know? Do you really think that only Wang Zisheng in the Wang family would attack me?When I went to Beijing to deliver offerings, Wang Ziteng came to see me. After being rejected, he actually threatened me. For this reason, I had no choice but to leave the city overnight, but I was still intercepted and killed in Shilipu! "

"Wang Ziteng, how dare he?" Xue Xun's face changed immediately, "Brother, why didn't you tell the Jia family?"

"Second brother, after so many years, how could Ningrong's second house really take a fancy to us?" Xue Tu said bitterly, "Why did the Wang family devote themselves to becoming officials in the first place, even giving up a million-dollar-a-year business? Wasn't it just that they wanted to Do you want to go up? Now that Ziyang has the opportunity, do you still want to continue to be looked down upon in the future? "

"I - hey!" Xue Xun emptied his wine glass in a bitter gulp and sat on the chair, saying dullly, "Since eldest brother has decided, I will just do it."

"That's good!" Xue Tu nodded, "Besides, my saying 'wives and concubines don't matter' is not completely false, you have seen his ability, and with the already opened paths, as long as he doesn't make mistakes, The future will definitely be prosperous; the Xue family is a business after all, if he really flourishes one day, it may not be a good thing for the Xue family to have Bao girl occupying the position of wife."

"Don't worry, brother, don't worry, little brother." Xue Xun drank silently and nodded silently.

The camera turned back to the guest room garden. The master and servant Zhou Yang and Xue Baochai were so sweet that they reluctantly sent them back after the sunset. He returned to the room holding his breath, only to see the familiar and beautiful face in front of him waiting with a smile.

"Are you here?" Zhou Yang was overjoyed. He really couldn't let go of the beautiful woman in front of him. Although the relationship between the two was somewhat entangled with interests, it was indeed a "harmonious relationship" and even a "flying clouds and riding the mist" "The feeling is, "Xue Gong's side."

"After discussing with his second brother, he took medicine and went to sleep." Wang Shuying said with a smile, "If you feel guilty, why not repay me!"

"Guilty?" Zhou Yang curled his lips disdainfully. He didn't say anything about his feelings for Xue Baochai, but did he really think he couldn't see Xue Tu's plot?It's just that the relationship between people can never be simple, there are interests, and naturally there are feelings. He simply went up and hugged the beautiful woman in front of him, strode straight to the bedroom, "I was so angry just now, it happened to be an advantage for you. !”

"Angry?" Wang Shuying was stunned, remembering the laughter she heard outside the garden just now, and immediately understood the source of the anger, and her face turned red with embarrassment, "What are you talking about?"
