Chapter 142 Cousin
After leaving the palace, the three brothers and sisters went to Zhou's house again.

The old lady of the Zhou family had been waiting for a long time when she got the news.

Sister Xu Yin didn't have a deep impression of her grandmother. Her mother died early, and the two families were far apart, so they didn't communicate much. The last time they met, Xu Yin was still a toddler, and Xu Si was only four or five years old.

However, they were sent to Dongjiang in the previous life, and they were taken care of by the Zhou family. On the day Jiangdu was destroyed, the Zhou family's cousin even came to look for them.Xu Yin always remembers this friendship in his heart.

"Greetings to my grandmother, my uncle, my aunt."

Mrs. Zhou said yes repeatedly, and went to help her up herself: "Get up, get up."

The Zhou family is good-looking, and Mrs. Zhou has a kind face now that she is old.She took a granddaughter with one hand, looked left and right, tears gradually appeared in her eyes.

"Look at you sisters, how wonderful you are! How happy your mother is to know her! Woooooo..."

When the old lady shed tears, everyone in the room also wept.In the end, Mrs. Zhou came out to dissuade her: "Mother's Day is sad. It is a great joy to see the two nieces today."

"That's right! Seeing how my niece looks like my younger sister, my mother should be happy, and don't let them be sad."

Mentioning their sisters, Mrs. Zhou was persuaded, she hurriedly wiped her tears, and said embarrassingly: "When people are old, they are just like children. Once they are sad, they can't stop crying. Don't cry, don't cry." Cried."

Everyone in the room showed smiling faces again, Mrs. Zhou took the sisters and asked for their health one by one.They also asked if their father treated them well, whether the journey was hard or not, the incident of being attacked, the attitude of the prince and the princess...

Xu Si picked up what he could say, and Mrs. Zhou was comforted.

"If this can be done... we will be able to meet each other from time to time in the future."

"If it can be done, it will definitely be done." Mrs. Zhou said with a smile, "Our niece is so likable, beautiful, and polite. The concubine has rewarded so many things, and the son went to greet her personally. This is what I like."

Mrs. Zhou waved her hand: "We are looking forward to it in our hearts, but don't say this, lest others think our family is frivolous and hurt Ah Si."

Mrs. Zhou showed shame on her face, and said yes repeatedly.

The prince's marriage has been talked about for a while, what Miss Tong Er, Miss Wei Si... how many people are staring at the position of the prince concubine.Miss Xu suddenly fell from the sky, she must be the target of everyone's criticism at this time, and if there is any mistake, she will be grabbed and held.

This is a good marriage, the son is outstanding in talent and appearance, and he is a good man.With my niece becoming the imperial concubine, the situation of the Zhou family will be much better in the future.

The more Mrs. Zhou thought about it, the more she felt that her parents-in-law had good eyesight. Although the family background of the Xu family was a bit weak, her brother-in-law was a dragon and a phoenix among individuals. Maybe her son's future would fall on the niece.

There are many people in the Zhou family who think the same as her, and they treat the Xu family brothers and sisters more enthusiastically.

After talking for a while, the table over there was ready, so the family banquet was held lively.

……

In the middle of the banquet, Zhou Xuan, the eldest son of Zhou, went out to catch his breath.

He was in charge of entertaining Xu Ze, and the two of them were able to talk, but he was thinking about what Xu Yin said yesterday, so he asked around, but Xu Ze didn't seem to have much opinion...

It's really weird, could it be that he didn't make the decision on this trip?Who should I ask?Big cousin?

Zhou Xuan was thinking like this, and a voice came from his ear: "What is big cousin thinking?"

He was taken aback, and turned around to see Xu Yin standing not far away, looking at him with a smile.

"Third cousin." He bowed down and saluted.

Xu Yin returned the salute, and slowly approached: "Why does the eldest cousin look worried? Today we meet our close relatives, shouldn't we be happy?"

Zhou Xuan hurriedly said: "Seeing the two cousins, I am naturally happy, but..."

"Just what?"

Zhou Xuan thought, no matter who is in charge, it was Xu Yin who said that day, so just ask her herself.Although the two cousins ​​did not come to live at home, they came to visit with a respectful attitude, and they should still be close to their own family.

"Cousin said yesterday that if she comes to live here, she will bring trouble. I don't know what kind of trouble this trouble is? Do you need our help?"

Xu Yin laughed.Sure enough, the entire Zhou family still relied on this big cousin, and they knew there was a problem after listening to him.

"Does cousin really want to help? The trouble I'm talking about is not a small trouble. I'm afraid it will hurt you."

Zhou Xuan said: "What is the cousin talking about? You and I are close relatives, even if you have been wronged at home, we have to show our faces and say what is not involved."

This sounded like a scene, but Xu Yin believed it.Because he helped them in the previous life, although he failed to save them from the fire pit, he did his best.

"My cousin is so caring. I thank you on behalf of my sister. There is indeed a troublesome matter. I don't know if my cousin can do anything."

Zhou Xuan cheered up: "Third Cousin, please tell me."

Xu Yin asked him: "Cousin knows about the attack on our road, right?"

Zhou Xuan nodded: "I didn't expect the road to be so uneven. I don't know where the refugees came from to occupy the mountain as bandits. Fortunately, your guards are very good."

After finishing speaking, Xu Yin shook his head.

Zhou Xuan was stunned: "Isn't it right? Could it be..." He thought for a while, his face gradually changed, "Isn't it a refugee?"

Unexpectedly, he reacted so quickly, Xu Yin continued: "Dudu Yang is famous far and wide, and there are some small thieves in Dongjiang, how dare they rob officers and soldiers? Cousin, have you heard of such a thing?"

No.In the past few years, due to the military chaos in Jiangbei, the Dongjiang River was also not very stable, and bandits and bandits appeared frequently.Later, the king of Dongjiang ordered Yang Gu, the governor of Dongjiang, to make great efforts to rectify it, and led his troops to sweep it, and everything was peaceful.That being said, things are indeed odd.

"Someone pretended to be a robber to rob the road," Zhou Xuan lowered his voice, "Don't want to see my cousin marry the prince?"

Xu Yin nodded: "That's why the son went to greet him in person."

Zhou Xuan's face was ugly: "That said, you are still in a very dangerous situation. If you can't rob and kill, the other party may be waiting for an opportunity to start. Third cousin, if it is this trouble, you should live in it! In the posthouse I don't know how many eyeliners, your every move is known, but it is convenient for them to attack."

Xu Yin comforted her with a smile: "Cousin, don't worry, the prince has already sent someone to watch. It's just that there is no reason to guard against thieves for a thousand days. If my sister really married, someone would spy on her secretly and want her life, which would be too dangerous." .”

Zhou Xuan couldn't help nodding, and said: "The safest way is to go back to Nanyuan, and let this marriage go. But in this way, wouldn't it make the culprits happy? Let's think about it... I don't want my big cousin to marry, could it be those who want to marry me?" The concubine of the world? Ah, you wait, I probably know those nephews and nephews, so I try to find out the news."

Xu Yin nodded secretly.This big cousin is indeed a smart person, she understood everything before she even said it.

Although she knew that Li Da and the Wei family were behind it, she didn't know what kind of scheme it was.The eldest cousin is originally from Dongjiang, so it is easier to inquire about him if he comes forward.

"Then I'll have to thank my cousin—this matter, please keep it a secret for the time being, so that grandma won't worry."
