Hearing the sound of Zhao Liniang's footsteps leaving the room, Zhou Yanqing's eyes opened again.
There was naturally nothing at the end of the bed except for the smoky blue curtains and brocade quilt. Naturally, the beauty in Zhou Yanqing's mind would not appear there.
After staring into the void for a long time, Zhou Yanqing called out: "Stone..."
Long time no one answered.
Only then did Zhou Yanqing remember that he didn't want to see these people hanging around in front of him, so he had already ordered them to stay away.
With a wry smile, Fang Yang called out: "Stone!"
Presumably, even if they were ordered to stay away from him, these people would not go too far in order to hear his summons.
Sure enough, someone answered from a distance, and then they heard footsteps approaching from far away.
Shitou breathed heavily, swallowed his saliva, and then replied: "Sixth Master, do you want me to call you?"
Zhou Yanqing gave him a cold look. This ghost must have been summoned by his mother to ask about his whereabouts. If he could reveal a few things to himself, he could also take precautions and not be as passive as he is now.
.
Seeing Shi Shi shrinking back, Zhou Yanqing couldn't help but snorted heavily, and was so frightened that Shi Shi almost knelt on the ground.
Zhou Yanqing glanced at him and said slowly: "Go, let the stable prepare, I am going out."
As soon as the stone plopped, he knelt down.
He straightened up in a daze and said to Zhou Yanqing: "Master, please spare the little one. He is all a fool and cannot understand the old lady's thoughts. But the old lady is the master of the Zhou family.
If she wants to ask a question, how dare you not answer her carefully?"
After crying for a while, he saw that Zhou Yanqing didn't look at him coldly anymore. He couldn't help but feel lighter in his heart.
The man in front of him is his master. He has served him for so many years. Why doesn't he want him to be good? Only when he is good can he be good.
Then he said with a sad face: "Sir, the New Year is approaching at this time. The old lady has already told the stable to stop the horses. Except for the carriages that are used on weekdays, the rest have been transferred to the carpenter for repairs. If I want to go out, I am afraid I have to go to the old lady.
Report it over there."
After saying that, I saw Zhou Yanqing pursed her lips tightly and couldn't bear it.
It's just that no matter how good he thinks Mr. Qiao is, it's in vain if Old Mrs. Zhou doesn't like it. At this time, he still has to cooperate with some old ladies.
The young lady of the Yan family who lives in Yuhua Lane is not someone his sixth master can mess with.
Then he said: "Master, today the old lady sent another cart of Yinshuang charcoal to Yuhua Lane, and half a cart of fresh meat and vegetables. She also said that she would invite the couple who accompanied Miss Yan's family to Qingchuan tomorrow.
A steward is sitting at home to discuss the marriage between Mr. Liu and Miss Yan."
When Zhou Yanqing heard this, his forehead stung and his veins throbbed.
He couldn't help but stroke his forehead and closed his eyes tightly.
"Master..."
Zhou Yanqing waved his hand.
After a long time, he said: "You go back to the old lady. I want to go to Magistrate Zheng's house. Well, I want to talk about some business matters. Let the old lady tell the people in the stable to prepare the car."
Shitou didn't dare to resist, so he agreed and went out.
In the main room, Mrs. Zhou listened to Shitou's report and thought about it for a long time.
She had detained Qing'er for so many days, and she had already exchanged Geng Tie with the Yan family. Now that the New Year was approaching and time was too urgent, she discussed with the Yan family to set the wedding date on the second day of February.
On February 2, the dragon raises its head, it is a good day for everything.
She is not afraid that Qing'er will resist. Now that man is far away in Yizhou. Not to mention her here, even the Qiao family in Yizhou will not let the eldest daughter of the eldest daughter violate ethics and have an affair with a married man.
She was very relieved.
Since Qing'er wants to go out, let him go as long as he doesn't leave Qingchuan. If you keep him in check, it might be counterproductive.
Then he said to the stone: "Go to the stable and give instructions. Just tell me what I said. Prepare the carriage to be more comfortable for Mr. Liu. The charcoal pot in the carriage must also be lit first. It will be fully heated and don't freeze.
Your sixth master."
Shitou didn't dare to look up after hearing this. He just lowered his head and responded, then turned around and trotted out the door.
The old lady then said to Mother Lin who was standing behind her: "Go and take the second manager of the outer courtyard with you, and you two will go and serve in person."
Mother Lin, who was standing by, bowed her head in response, then took small steps out of the room...
As soon as Yanqing left the house that week, he went straight to Zheng Zhixian's youngest son Zheng Yuan's foreign residence.
It has to be said that Zhou Yanqing really understood the character of these bad friends and knew that Zheng Yuan must be hiding in the outer courtyard. As expected, he arrested them inside the house...
Zheng Yuan was filled with bitterness after hearing Zhou Yanqing's words, and he raised his head and laughed happily.
Sure enough, good luck will not concentrate on one person.
Otherwise, if Mr. Zhou, who is wealthy, has no shortage of money, and is free and comfortable, meets the beauty of his heart again, and they stay together and fly together from now on, will he be allowed to live?
Zhou Yanqing knew his temper, and when he heard him laughing, he just gave him a cold sideways look, then threw his head back and fell on the Arhat bed covered with thick white fox fur.
"You are very kind to this outer room and have moved a lot of good things here. The one in your family is good-tempered and doesn't make a fuss."
After hearing what he said, Zheng Yuan also fell down next to him, holding the back of his head with both hands.
Said: "How dare she choke me. Since she married into my family, her family's business has improved a lot. My father opened the way for her family, and now the business has almost reached Kyoto. She personally ordered these things
I picked it up as a gift. I am a merchant and have been childless for several years. I have not put anyone in front of her to punish her. What else does she have to be dissatisfied with?"
Zhou Yanqing was silent for a long time after hearing this.
If he marries a wife, he will not cause any trouble in her heart. If he can have Jin Niang to accompany him, he will treat her well and make her the happiest woman in the world.
Zhou Yanqing couldn't help but feel a dull pain in her heart when she thought of Qiao Mingjin.
He turned sideways and asked Zheng Yuan: "You usually have the most clever ideas, but do you have any good ideas?"
When Zheng Yuan heard this, he turned sideways and faced him.
He smiled at him and said: "If the Qiao family is not from the Qiao family in Yizhou, no one will say anything to you if you take people far away to the southwest. And if the Yan family's father is not an official in the capital, he will be offended if he offends him.
It’s not a big deal. It’s just a pity…”
After saying that, he clicked his tongue twice, looking helpless.
How come Zhou Yanqing doesn't know this? It's just that he still has the thought of staying with the beautiful woman forever in his heart.
"Is there really no way?"
Zheng Yuan shook his head.
He frowned for a moment and said, "Well, it's not like there's nothing..."
"What is the solution?" Zhou Yanqing quickly stood up and asked him.
Zheng Yuan clicked his tongue again and looked at him disdainfully.
Is this still the Saturday man who doesn’t change his expression in front of beautiful women? For a woman, he is so messed up, tsk tsk...
"Say it quickly!"
When Zhou Yanqing saw him looking at him leisurely, he was so angry that he raised his foot and kicked him hard, almost knocking Zheng Yuan off the bed.
Zheng Yuan hissed twice, but it was not easy to embarrass him, so he added: "There are not no ways, but there are some... I'm afraid you are not willing, and she is not willing either. And this is the last resort and will hurt the enemy."
A trick that will cost you eight hundred."
Zhou Yanqing saw the solemn look on his face and knew that this method might not be possible. After thinking for a moment, he asked: "What is the method?"
Zheng Yuan glanced at him and sighed secretly when he saw his firm face. As for women, where are they?
What kind of woman can't he find? Fat and thin, dignified and beautiful, lively and charming, head of a family, talented and poetic... With the financial resources of the Zhou family, what kind of woman can't be found? I don't believe that none of them can be found.
of.
But he actually fell in love with a woman who had already had his own daughter, tsk tsk.
However, Zheng Yuan couldn't bear to look at his worried look, and sighed and said: "If you really want her and are willing to give up a large part of your family fortune for her, there is nothing you can do. Then just run away.
This is the only way. I think you have a lot of money, a good brain, and a lot of gold and silver. It's not impossible to make a comeback elsewhere. It's just that I'm afraid that Mrs. Qiao won't want to. She will spend her whole life for you.
We are all trapped in the inner house, and we have to live in hiding. Of course, if the Yan family does not get promoted step by step, but is relegated, reduced to serving the people, etc., you two will be able to overcome all the hardships and see the sun."
After listening to Zheng Yuan's method, Zhou Yanqing turned sideways and lay on the Arhat bed, silent for a long time.
Zheng Yuan glanced at him sideways and lay quietly beside him. The two of them were rarely calm.
After a while, someone was heard walking into the room, and a thin female voice said: "Master, the kitchen has prepared wine and food. Do you want to have them served now?"
When Zheng Yuan raised his head to look, Zhou Yanqing also looked towards the woman who made the sound.
Liu Meiniang's face was full of beauty, and she stood there with a graceful figure.
Wearing hairpins, jade rings, brocade, and a big cloak made of red fox draped over her body, she looks so rich and noble. Perhaps she has been well-maintained, and her face is more beautiful than before.
When Liu Meiniang saw Zhou Yanqing looking towards her, she saluted and said, "I have met Mr. Saturday."
Zhou Yanqing stared blankly at the woman in front of him, with complicated eyes.
If he was not so confident and had resorted to tricks early on to let the man in front of him hook Yue Zhongyao, and Yue Zhongyao always talked about his kindness, why couldn't Jin Niang have won Na and Li Shu earlier?
If Jinniang had gotten He Lishu earlier, he would have had time to plan things for them. The two of them had fled to the southwest to have children and then returned. For the sake of their grandchildren, the mother would definitely be a little better than Jinniang and Yan Yuese.
of.
It's too late to regret now.
Zheng Yuan saw him staring closely at Mr. Liu, and he knew to some extent what Zhou Yanqing was thinking. He naturally knew a thing or two about Mr. Liu's relationship with Mr. Qiao.
Seeing that Zhou Yanqing was silent, he said to Liu Meiniang: "Go out and ask someone to bring the food and wine. There is no need for anyone to serve you here. Please let people go down."
Liu Meiniang responded, raised her head and glanced at the two people quickly, then walked out.
Zheng Yuan patted Zhou Yanqing's shoulder, comforted him wordlessly, and then pulled him to sit at the round table in the room.
After a while, Liu Meiniang led several maids and women to bring the carefully prepared food and wine...
Zhou Yanqing stayed in Zheng Yuan's foreign house for several days. Until Mrs. Zhou sent someone to call him back, saying that she was going to prepare for ancestor worship in the new year.
Zhou Yanqing then boarded the car and returned to the Zhou Mansion. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
