Xu Zhiqian saw her grandfather walking into the living room to rest. She quickly brought the peanut cake fried by Zhou Xingyun yesterday and brought it to Mrs. Xu cheerfully: "Grandpa, try this. You must have never eaten it before."
"Hahaha, you have the most clever ideas." Taifu Xu shook his head. He originally planned to come to Zhou Xingyun's house after lunch, but Xu Zhiqian was cautious and was afraid that he would not come to help Zhou Xingyun, so she had already asked Xia Jier to intercede with him.
"I wanted to talk to Grandpa more, so I asked Jill to invite you over as a guest earlier." Xu Zhiqian cleverly moved behind Taifu Xu, being filial to the old man, patting his back and rubbing his shoulders.
"No wonder they say that a woman's heart is outward. Look at you, little girl. You don't go to the Three Treasures Palace for anything, and you come to grandpa if you have anything." Mrs. Xu hinted that a while ago, Xu Zhiqian went back to the Xu family to speak to Zhou Xingyun, hoping that he would go to court to intercede on behalf of the Jin family.
To be precise, every time Xu Zhiqian went back to Xu's house to visit him recently, it was more or less with some intention and she needed his help. Now that the old man sees his granddaughter patting his back so consciously, he is suspicious reflexively, Xiao Nizi should
I won't have anything to ask for again.
"Because there is a big bad guy who bullies others all day long. Zhiqian is wronged and can only complain to grandpa." Xu Zhiqian changed her words and pointed the finger at Zhou Xingyun, letting her grandpa understand that she was a filial granddaughter and that something was wrong with her.
No matter what happened, I would go to the Three Treasures Hall, no matter what happened, I would always look for grandpa.
"Who! Who dares to bully you! Zhiqian tell me quickly, I promise not to beat him to death!" Zhou Xingyun ejected and jumped in front of Xu Taifu, plausibly saying to his future father-in-law: "Grandpa Xu, please don't worry, as long as you have me
Now, I will never let others bully Zhiqian."
"Senior Brother Xingyun is none other than the one who knows how to bully Zhiqian. Grandpa upholds justice for others." Xu Zhiqian stood behind Taifu Xu, punching the old man's shoulders back and forth with her fists, while lowering her head slightly, looking up at the bad boy with her beautiful eyes, posing
I have the support of my grandpa and I am not afraid of you. My attitude is tit for tat with Zhou Xingyun.
"If Xiaoqian is wronged here, just go back to live with grandpa." Taifu Xu is indeed an old fox, and one sentence left Zhou Xingyun and Xu Zhiqian speechless.
Taifu Xu saw Zhou Xingyun and Xu Zhiqian glaring at each other and ignored his proposal to 'go back to her parents' home'. He couldn't help but smile kindly, turned to Xu Luose who was pouring tea for him and asked, "Luose, are you used to living here?"
"Reporting to Grandpa, Mr. Zhou treats Luo Se with respect and respect. Luo Se's life is very happy now."
"That's good..." Taifu Xu held Xu Luo se's palms with both hands and patted her palms. The girl had been influenced by the Xu family since she was a child and would never lie or deceive him. Now Xu Luo se smiled and said to him without thinking that her life was very happy now, which made Tai Fu Xu feel deep in his heart.
Better.
The biggest shame in Mr. Xu's heart was that he was indebted to Xu Luose. Seeing her enjoying herself and living freely, the old man couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
"Did Zhiqian hear that? Luo Se is telling the truth. Who in my family would bully you?" Zhou Xingyun said seriously. Xu Zhiqian raised her pretty face when she heard this, and looked at Mou Yun with great contempt: "Heh~he~."
"He lies! He often bullies us at home!" Mo Nianxi suddenly came out to support Xu Zhiqian, standing behind Mrs. Xu to read a copy of Zhou Xingyun.
"Rebellion! Are you going to rebel again?"
"I'm not afraid of you." The black-haired girl stuck out her tongue and made a face. She was not afraid of Zhou Xingyun's power because she had an elder visiting her home.
"Oh, people's hearts are not as old as they used to be. The naughty woman from Nancun bullied me because I am old and weak. I can't stand facing Xiao Bichi." Zhou Xingyun sat down slumped. For Taifu Xu's sake, he admitted it today. When the old man returns to Xu's house, let's see if he doesn't
Kill these two little bitches.
"He scolded you." Although Mo Nianxi didn't know what Xiao Bichi meant, the word Diao Fu was simple and easy to understand, so she got used to it and bounced the dirty water back to Xu Zhiqian.
Mrs. Xu watched the girls playing with Zhou Xingyun in the living room, and finally understood why his granddaughter fell in love with this romantic little guy. In a normal family, how would a normal family allow a little girl to fool around at home and make her laugh?
You must know that the idea that men are superior to women is deeply rooted in the folk. Xu Taifu asked himself, he could not do what Zhou Xingyun did and let his wives and concubines at home play as they pleased.
As the saying goes, if you marry a pig, you will follow a dog, and a woman will follow her father and her husband at home. Married women are generally regarded as men's property. Men who dote on women like Zhou Xingyun are really rare.
However, what Taifu Xu is now more worried about is whether the marriage granted by the Queen Mother will affect the relationship between Zhou Xingyun and Xu Zhiqian.
"Xiaoqian, as nephew Zhou Xian is the prince-consort of our dynasty, don't you worry that you will be even more wronged in the future?"
A few days ago, when Xu Zhiqian returned to the Xu family, she told Mrs. Xu about the situation in the Zhou family. Mr. Xu had learned that Zhou Xingyun was already married to Wei Suyao. However, Xu Zhiqian did not express any objection or objection to this matter.
Disgusted, obviously approved of Zhou Xingyun's relationship with the girls.
However, a marriage granted by the Empress Dowager is a different matter. The eldest princess will definitely take over the power of women when she marries into the Zhou family. The harmonious atmosphere of the Zhou family may be broken by this.
"Grandpa, don't worry. That bastard has thousands of ways to deceive women. Princess Yongming is definitely no match for him." To be fair, Xu Zhiqian said that Han Qiumiao, who had not yet married into the Zhou family, was so angry that Zhou Xingyun stamped her feet. Later, she actually came to the Zhou family.
, and will definitely make the perverted boy eat to death, she and Wei Suyao are the best examples.
"Oh, it turns out that Nephew Zhou Xian's palace is so deep, no wonder even you ghosts and spirits can't take advantage of him. It seems that I have also been fooled by Nephew Zhou Xian." Taifu Xu sighed meaningfully, secretly criticizing Zhou Xingyun for his greatness.
He can be inconsistent with his appearance and is good at making false claims.
"Grandpa Xu, please rest assured. Although I am a thief, I will never do bad things." Zhou Xingyun smiled awkwardly, obviously hearing the hidden meaning behind Mr. Xu's words.
"There is no basis for what I say. When I first met nephew Zhou Xian, you were not like you are now. Power is a very scary thing. It can change a person's character. Jin Shangshu was also a parent-official who worried about the people.
, but in the end he could not resist the temptation of official power and embarked on a path of no return."
"Ahem, regarding this, Grandpa Xu, you can rest assured that my situation is different from that of Jin Shangshu." Zhou Xingyun held his head high and said plausibly: "I have a good wife like Zhiqian. It is because Zhiqian is silently behind my back.
With your support, I can do everything boldly, confidently and steadfastly. I know and I believe that if I make a mistake in the future, Zhiqian will definitely correct me. That’s why I can say to you with such confidence, I won’t
I have gone astray. Even if Taifu Xu doesn't want to believe me, he should believe his granddaughter. Because once I make a mistake, Zhi Qian will guide me back to the right path."
"Xiao Qian, is this why you insist on staying in Zhou Mansion despite being wronged?" Taifu Xu turned around and stared at Xu Zhiqian, who was still beating his shoulders.
"Half right, half wrong." Xu Zhiqian's cheeks were slightly red and she replied a little shyly. Half right, because she did promise Zhou Xingyun that she would supervise his behavior and prevent him from going astray. Half wrong, because she stayed in
The reason for the Zhou Mansion was not to supervise Zhou Xingyun, but because she unknowingly became completely obsessed with the little pervert and liked to be around him.
"Hey, I will also supervise you!" Mo Nianxi quickly hugged Zhou Xingyun, saying that she was also a good wife and hoped to get more love.
"Supervise me together, everyone, supervise me together." Zhou Xingyun scratched his nose, wishing that the beauties from all over the world would come to discipline him, follow the example of Wei Suyao, and use various postures to 'handle' him...
"Haha...then you guys really have a long way to go." At this moment, Taifu Xu could be sure that his granddaughter had completely impressed the Jianshu libertine.
Zhou Xingyun and Xu Taifu chatted for a while, and suddenly the house became lively. Then Mu Hanxing hurriedly entered the living room and told Zhou Xingyun that Xuanyuan Tianhen, the Minister of War, had arrived.
It turns out that the future father-in-law has arrived...
Zhou Xingyun politely said sorry and went outside to greet Xuanyuan Tianhen.
Xuanyuan Fengxue and Xuanyuan Chongwu seemed to have followed their father to attend the celebration banquet at Zhou Xingyun's official residence. When Zhou Xingyun walked out of the living room, he saw a group of officials' children, brazenly following Xuanyuan Fengxue as guests.
Shangshe Bureau Feng Yu saw his son arriving at the scene. Although he was surprised, he didn't know how to deal with it.
To be honest, this kind of gathering of powerful officials is really not suitable for children to attend. What if your children are not sensible, get drunk at the banquet, say something inappropriate, make some objectionable actions, and offend someone?
For a big shot, the gain outweighs the loss.
However, Zhu Xinhai, as Miss Xuanyuan's little follower, followed Xuanyuan Fengxue to attend the banquet, and it was difficult for him to ask his children not to join in the fun.
Zhou Xingyun looked at a group of young newcomers who didn't know the dangers of officialdom and wanted to come to his house to meet the great masters. He couldn't help but sigh that their ignorance was fearless.
Today's celebration banquet was a mixed bag. Big figures from both factions gathered in the court. Xuanyuan Fengxue came with her followers, just like a group of lambs jumping around in a wolf's den. Their every move may be targeted by the hostile factions.
The excuses of their elders.
Not to mention that Fengyu of the Shangshe Bureau was very panicked and uneasy when he saw Zhu Xinhai. Even the Minister of Zhongshu and the governor of Shangzhou frowned when they saw their son coming to visit him laughing and joking.
Mingjing and Tan Heng saw that their fathers had dark faces and immediately understood that they had committed a crime. They were both so frightened that they lowered their heads tremblingly.
You must know that the people who came to visit Zhou Xingyun's house today were all front-line ministers of the DPRK and China. The friends who followed Xuanyuan Fengxue and the elders of the family were present, and they had to look at other people's faces to act.
For example, Zhu Xinhai's father, Shang Sheju, served in the imperial court. Due to his low official position, he could not be counted as a faction of the prince or the sixteenth son of the emperor. Today, he was lucky enough to be entertained by Zhou Xingyun. When he arrived, he could only flatter everyone and try his best to please his superiors.
boss.
In other words, Zhu Xinhai, a group of elders who are officials' children, may be regarded as prestigious officials in the capital, but at today's celebration banquet, they are not even considered as shit. If you pick anyone present, their official status is higher than them. Among them,
So being able to attend the celebration banquet was all because of the glory of the Xuanyuan family... To be precise, it was because of the glory of Xuanyuan Fengxue that I received Zhou Xingyun's invitation.
Zhou Xingyun saw Fengyu of Shangshe Bureau looking uncomfortable. He was afraid that his child would be ignorant and touch the brow of an official, so he had to make reasonable arrangements and let Mu Hanxing take Xuanyuan Fengxue and others to the back garden...
