Volume Three

3.72 The old lady of the Jia family obviously doesn’t understand

However, when half a stick of incense was not available, Zhou Yang breathed a sigh of relief and hugged Li Wan tightly. He had never tried this kind of tense environment before, so he finally failed to hold on, feeling the unstoppable trembling and rapid breathing of the beautiful woman in his arms. , but his expression was very strange, because it was not in line with the girl's character.

"Wan'er, what's the matter with you today?" If you have a problem, just say it. Lovers always pay attention to the so-called "private space". Maybe small problems will pile up into big troubles. "Why is it like this today?"

"Zi Yang, please don't laugh when I say it." Li Wan moved slightly to loosen the connection, blushing and lying in Zhou Yang's arms, his tone still full of excitement, "Today I saw you draw the sword on the spot at the ancestor's place. Like this, later I saw the master beating the phoenix egg until it screamed wildly, and at that time I just wanted to lie down in your arms.

You don't know, from top to bottom, there is only one phoenix egg in this mansion, and no one cares about the others. Lan'er is obviously a serious master, but on weekdays, she is like a little frozen cat that no one cares about, except for me. This mother, no matter the father, wife or ancestors, no one has ever asked a question. "

"I don't quite understand either." Zhou Yang smiled and shook his head, "In your mansion, it doesn't matter if Chengjue lives in the East Crossing Courtyard. Uncle Jia's situation is too special; the second brother Lian, a serious heir, has become a butler. The son has no ambition; even in the second house, after the death of the eldest son and the eldest grandson, they all value the second son, but he is still a loser who cannot be helped!"

"That's why I didn't care about losing my face at the hands of you, the devil!" Li Wan sighed quietly, and lightly hit someone a few times, "I just hope that Lan'er can live up to her reputation and save my life in vain in the future. Shameless; in fact, besides the phoenix egg, the master also has a son, and I don’t want Lan’er to be like that son in the future, and everyone in the house will hate him!”

"Don't worry, although Lan'er is not my biological child, for your sake, I will take care of him as I should." Zhou Yang smiled, and was indeed very satisfied with his "stepson"'s academic performance, "Also Yes, what happened just now? Obviously, your master is only a short distance away, but you still want me."

"Stop talking!" Li Wan suddenly fell into Ai Lang's arms with a blushing face, and hit him hard several times to hide his shame, "Wan'er didn't know that even though I was in your arms at that time, I saw him in a state of embarrassment when he left. The way she looked, I felt very curious, did you also cheat on Feng Yatou? I managed to catch her in the ancestral room just now. If she doesn't have Ping'er to support her, I'm afraid she will make a fool of herself on the spot."

"How could it be?" Zhou Yang really didn't pay attention to this. He was stunned for a moment before saying, "It's not like you don't know who she is. We only have a conversation with her. But that girl Ping'er is a good one. If you have a chance, You might as well take care of her, if not, forget it, sooner or later I will have her over to take care of her."

"Huh?" Li Wan glanced at her with a strange expression, "Have you succeeded? I was also raped when you held me down, but after all, we were outside the city. I didn't expect that you would remain stubborn even after entering this house. , even Ping’er”

"What nonsense are you talking about? This is who I am in your eyes?" Zhou Yang raised his hand angrily and gave her two blows, but he bowed his head humbly in front of her weird smile, "Okay, that's it."

"Except for not damaging her body, everything else was successful?" Li Wan interrupted him angrily, glaring at his beautiful eyes and said, "I know this girl Ping'er is not someone who can't hold her own, I'm afraid you're strong again. Don't worry, I will take care of those you can in the future, but you know, Feng girl, if I do too much, I'm afraid it will have the opposite effect."

"I know." Zhou Yang nodded to express his understanding, "Your Second Grandma Lian's temperament is really speechless. Second Brother Lian may not have any face with her; with Ping'er, you can just extend your hand appropriately, no need. I care too much. Anyway, if I want her to come out, I must give this second mistress some benefits. I’ll wait until I’m sure - let’s go, let’s go.”

"No!" After just a moment, Li Wan breathed a sigh of relief, "After all, the master has just left. Let's wait a little longer to avoid accidentally bumping into him."

"How come?" Someone who was passive throughout the whole process was a little dumbfounded, "You are only 25, right? You are not yet at the age where you are like a wolf and a tiger, right? Also, you should be an intellectual lady, right? How did you do this? It’s like—ouch!”

At the same time, in the living room of Jia Mu's courtyard, there was no one else but Jia Mu and Jia Zheng. Even the personal maid Yuanyang had been sent out.

"Zheng'er, what you said is true?" After listening to Jia Zheng's "statement" about yesterday's banquet, Jia's mother completely understood. "He, a small martial arts scholar, can actually win the inheritance of six princes." Does the Lord value him so much? He is not the only disciple in the Chen family, so what if he is a student who is openly accepted? Does the eldest son of the Chen family need to win over him personally? "

"Mother, as far as my son knows, Nephew Zhou Xian and His Highness Yongchang," Jia Zheng did not dare to say directly in the end, "anyway, they have a very deep relationship. The guards of the Princess Palace command thousands of households in the East. I heard that he was chosen, but Because the girl from the Xue family didn't succeed, but her son also heard that Dongfang Qianhu had a good relationship with him.

Also, the Xue family did not offend the princess, nor did they offend Dongfang Qianhu. I heard that a few days ago, the boy from the second room of the Xue family helped renovate the house of Weiyuan Marquis Mansion, which cost no less than 2 taels. I think it was In order to make up for this problem, the eldest prince also valued him very much, and even took him with him when hunting with young people from various families. "

"Is that so?" The old lady of Jia's mansion, who hadn't gone out to socialize for many years, obviously didn't understand, "Just a Wu Jinshi?"

"Looking at the intentions of other families, they all extend their hands when they can, and support those who should be supported first." Jia Zheng continued, "My son can see that he is indeed a capable person. This time the Beijing Prince's Palace encountered At most, the son could only think of pushing it out, but he was able to use this to contact His Majesty. It was simply "He just came here to say that he had always been in contact with Lian Er?" Jia Mu suddenly asked, "Why not?" Did you mention it? When did it happen? "

"Mother, my son thought," Jia Zheng said awkwardly, "that the eldest brother was tricking him to get money again, so he greeted him casually, thinking that if something happened, it wouldn't be too much trouble."

"You son of a bitch!" Mother Jia pounded the floor with her walking stick angrily, and then continued, "You said just now that Jinshi Zhou has already engaged the Xue family? The girl from the big house of the Xue family?"

"Yes, mother!" Jia Zheng quickly replied, "I heard that last year, Dafang's Xue Tu passed away, and the marriage was arranged before his death. After that, nephew Zhou Xian helped sort out the property in the north of Xue Zihao, and also arranged the marriage. By the way, he helped our eight families get a lot of money."

"Is the house affected too?" Jia Mu was stunned for a moment, "Who's in charge? Why didn't I know?"

"This..." Jia Zheng was also a little confused, "It's just a businessman's matter. Outside, it's always handled by Lian Er. The wife is also in charge of it at home, so my son doesn't interfere anymore."

"You—" Mother Jia almost fainted from the waste in front of her, "Has Lian Er ever mentioned how much money can be earned from this business?"

"My son never asked," Jia Zheng said slowly.

"Do you want to make me angry to death?" Even if she favors this younger son, Mother Jia has the urge to strangle him to death. "Is Lian Er often outside these days and rarely returns to the house?"

"It's true!" Jia Zheng finally reacted, "And brother Zhen from Dongfu, it's obvious that he has more money these days, I guess so."

"Okay, you can go out!" After confirming that she couldn't ask anything useful anymore, Jia Mu reluctantly sent Jia Zheng away, and after thinking about it, she said behind her, "Yuanyang, does Lian Er have a lot of money? "

"Old ancestor, that's true!" Yuanyang knelt down and said softly after coming out of the back room.

"Does Feng girl know?" Jia Mu then asked.

"I probably don't know, but I have guessed a lot." Yuanyang said thoughtfully, "I heard that Mr. Lian never comes back these days, and Mrs. Lian is very angry. The two have quarreled several times. "When Sister Ping'er came over this morning, she seemed to have been crying. She must have been splinted again."

"After all, it is the property of the mansion. It is really hard to rely on Lian Er alone." Jia Mu said lightly, "You tell Shan Daliang and ask him to take a good inventory of the harvest of the mansion, whether it is the village or the shop. , everything needs to be clarified, and nothing should be omitted.”

"My slave understands!" Yuanyang bowed and replied.

"Also, don't forget to tell Feng Yatou. Husband and wife don't have an overnight feud. It's common for young couples to quarrel at the end of the bed. If they let it go, it'll be fine." Mother Jia added lightly, "If she can bear it, If you feel wronged, just come to me."

"Yes, ancestor!" Yuanyang paused, then bowed and agreed.

"Go." Mother Jia nodded and then remembered another thing, "Come back, Zheng'er mentioned just now that this person surnamed Zhou is now in charge of Xue's business in Beidi? Find out the specific situation. The Xue family is also an old relative, and they should reach out to help, so they can't ignore it."

"Ancestor, I'm afraid it's no longer necessary." Yuanyang replied softly, "I heard that the second young master of the third room of the Shi family suffered a lot a few days ago. The uncle of the second room of the Xue family transferred all the semicolons around the capital. , I think it has been taken care of; and another one, Zhou Jinshi is now a student recognized by the Duke of Qi, so he must have already"

"I know." Mother Jia's face darkened, and she could only endure it and said, "Go ahead!"
