She made an excuse to send her mother away, and wanted to ask Xiang Mingxue in person what he meant. It was not her style to sit back and wait for death, so it was better to explain this kind of thing clearly in person.
But I didn't expect to hear these words.
Zhou Lijun looked thoughtful.
Xiang Mingxue, who was in the room, raised his head and looked outside the door. Zhou Lang turned around and looked back. He didn't see anything outside the door and asked, "What's wrong?"
When Xiang Mingxue heard the person behind the door turned around and seemed to leave, he shook his head and said, "It's nothing."
Zhou Lang left Xiang Mingxue's place and was humming a song to go back to his room. When he passed the central hall, he saw a shadowy figure standing by the corridor in the dim night.
After drinking a lot of wine, Zhou Lang, who was a little confused, felt his feet weak. Seeing that the figure seemed to turn towards him and walk towards him, he immediately shouted: "Then, then, what, don't come over."
The figure paused for a moment, and Zhou Langju's beating heart improved a little, and he immediately shouted: "Every injustice has its owner, and every debt has its owner. Our family is a new one. If you want revenge, go to the previous owner..."
"Fourth Uncle!" The figure took a step forward, pinched his waist and said, "What are you yelling about?"
The cold sweat on Zhou Lang's back was cooled by the night breeze. He took two steps forward and rubbed his eyes. Only then could he clearly see the person standing by the wall. He exhaled loudly and said angrily: "You are standing there."
Why don't you light up a lantern here? Don't you know that it scares people and kills them?"
Zhou Lijun: "...Grandpa and grandma won't light the lanterns because it costs money. Didn't you see that none of the lanterns in our house were lit tonight?"
Zhou Lang looked up and saw that it was true that lanterns used to be lit and then put out after everyone had returned to their respective rooms.
Zhou Lijun said: "And what's so scary about this? We used to walk through the village in the middle of the night, and we didn't even see you scared when we passed the graves?"
"What do you know? There were a lot of people at that time, and most of them were men. Of course, people with strong yang energy are not afraid," Zhou Lang said: "Don't they say that many people will die in such a big house? The resentment may be pointed out.
How deep is it?"
Zhou Lijun couldn't help but glare at him, but the night was dark and Zhou Lang might not have seen it. She could only say: "Fourth uncle, you will never say such words even in front of your family. This house used to be
It belongs to the prince, what will outsiders think if word spreads?"
Zhou Lang responded, "Wasn't I scared by you? Do you think I have said this before?"
Because he was drunk and frightened, he felt a little dizzy now, so he turned his head and said: "I remember there is a big rock nearby..."
Zhou Lijun pointed out the place to him, so the uncle and nephew sat on the big stone.
Zhou Lang exhaled, feeling much better, and asked: "Tell me, what do you want from me?"
Zhou Lijun asked: "What does Mr. Xiang mean?"
I don’t even call you Brother Xiang anymore.
Zhou Lang did not hide anything, and told her exactly what he said to Mingxue tonight. He was still very optimistic about this marriage, and said: "I know your temper. It would be too unfair for you to marry back to the village."
Yes. You have gone to school, are literate, know how to calculate accounts, and have no shortage of means to make money. Who in the village is worthy of you?"
"But if you marry in the city, with a family background and ability that matches yours, I'm afraid they won't be willing to let you get involved in outside business," he said: "For a young man of your age, the parents at home must be in their prime.
I can definitely do my job for another twenty or thirty years. Not to mention you, even someone’s own son may not be able to take charge of outside affairs. If there are several brothers in the family, they will do a lot of troubles for money.
."
Zhou Lang said: "You often go to the back house, so you must know better than me about this kind of thing."
Zhou Lijun remained silent, which was why she had been reluctant to say goodbye.
She is my sister-in-law's niece, and she has a reputation for being capable. In fact, in the past two years, many people have inquired about her overtly or covertly at home.
Even several doctors in the imperial hospital mentioned it to my sister-in-law, but she never let go, just because of this.
After getting married, she basically served her parents-in-law and husband, and had nothing to do.
It sounded much easier than farming in the village, and it seemed lighter than it was now, but she just didn't like it.
She feels that using her own money to earn more money is a very happy thing.
Zhou Lang said: "There are not many husbands in this world who are willing to let you be as free as you are now. Xiang Ming is not only willing to follow my example, but we also know the basics and his character and appearance are not bad, so I think it is good."
Zhou Lijun thought about it seriously and said, "I have to think about it."
"Think about it," Zhou Lang stood up from the stone and held his waist and said, "Anyway, I don't want you to respond right away. You can just ask Man Bao what she means when she comes out of the palace. By the way, she will leave the palace the day after tomorrow, right?"
Zhou Lijun responded "Yes".
Man Bao came out of the palace early in the morning. As long as the old Zhou family didn't go out to work, they were all waiting in the front yard. Zhou Lang and Feng hadn't seen her for a long time, so they happily greeted her when they saw her.
They thought about mentioning Zhou Lijun's matter for a while, but after Manbao greeted them, he turned his head and stared at Zhou Lang, "Fourth brother, are you sick?"
Zhou Lang looked puzzled, "No."
Everyone turned around and saw that there was nothing wrong with him except that they felt he was a little lackluster. Zhou Dalang asked, "Did he go out to drink again last night?"
"No," Zhou Lang said, "I don't like drinking very much. I was at home last night."
Man Bao stepped forward and touched his forehead, frowned and said, "It's just that he is sick."
Fang immediately reached out and touched it, and said in surprise: "Why is it so hot? Didn't you feel it at all?"
Zhou Lang touched his forehead. It seemed to be a little hot, but he didn't feel that it was just a fever.
He said: "I don't feel any discomfort at all."
Man Bao had already felt his pulse and could not help but frown tightly.
Bai Shan stepped forward and looked at his face and asked, "Don't your throat hurt?"
"That's because I drank a while ago..."
Man Bao glared at him and said, "Not only did you drink, you also caught a cold. Let me give you an injection and prescribe medicine."
So before Zhou Lang could say anything, he was filled with medicine, but he didn't feel too uncomfortable. At noon, at the instruction of his second brother and second sister-in-law, he went to discuss the matter with Man Bao about Xiang Mingxue and Zhou Lijun.
Man Bao was surprised, "Brother Xiang likes Lijun? Does Lijun like him?"
Zhou Lang said: "Yesterday she told me that she felt good."
Man Bao looked suspicious, "Really or not?"
"Of course it's true. Yesterday Xiang Mingxue went to talk to her. After we left, she told me that the Xiang family was good. If you don't believe me, ask her."
