Chapter 739: Really Talking
After Li finished speaking, she saw Zhou Sishun still had no reaction and seemed to be resting with his eyes closed. She knew that the father of the child was still secretly competing with him at this moment.

She would be scolded if she continued talking, so she changed the subject and asked why Gu Erzhu and his wife had not returned yet after taking their daughter out early in the morning.

"The relationship between Second Brother Gu and the Zhao family is different from ours. He has been hanging out with Third Brother Zhao for a long time. Before the eldest brother Zhao won the third place, he often visited the Zhao family.

Later, when the Zhao family became prosperous, Zhao Laosan went to the provincial capital again. It was probably because his biased father wanted him to please the Zhao family or something, that he and Zhao Laosan did not have much contact.

Of course, it was also because Second Brother Gu was too ambitious. The brothers who grew up together had become so different from each other that he didn't even inform Third Brother Zhao when his eldest son got married.

As for Zhao Laosan, when he heard from Zhao Laoer that Erlang had gotten married, he also got angry and said that Second Brother Gu did not treat him as a brother, and then the two of them had a quarrel.

It was not until the second brother Gu separated from the family and moved out that there were rumors outside that the second brother Gu relied on his daughter-in-law to buy a house and move out, that Zhao Laoer informed Zhao Laosan of the news.

At that time, Zhao Laosan happened to be in Zhending Prefecture and couldn't leave. He couldn't make it back, so he wrote back and asked Zhao Laoer to help him attend the warm-house banquet.

After that, my second brother Gu and I accompanied the children to the provincial capital to take the exam. This time, Zhao Laosan came to our house, and the two of them reconciled like children.

After that, you all know, needless to say, Zhao Laosan sent people to our Sanya pancreas workshop to buy goods, and the two families became closer.

As for interpersonal relationships, the four brothers of the Zhao family have all done their best, and with the invitation from the eldest brother Zhao that day, the second brother Gu wanted to bring his wife and children to the Zhao mansion today.

Firstly, the two elders of the Zhao family are in the capital, and it would be bad if we didn't go and say hello; secondly, Second Brother Gu also wants to take advantage of this critical moment to separate us from the Zhao family."

What do you mean?
And left it aside!
Li frowned unexpectedly.

Zhou Sishun knew from the look on his wife's face that she hadn't understood. Thinking that things were different now and every move involved his eldest brother, he patiently explained.

"San Ya is San Ya, she is the daughter-in-law of the Gu family. We live with our eldest brother now. If we go out and say something, it will be seen by outsiders as our eldest brother and his wife.

This is why I asked you to just listen and speak less. We don't understand the ins and outs of being officials. It won't be wrong to observe more and talk less.

Before, every time I went to the city to see San Ya, not to mention the master of the Gao Mansion, even the stewards in their family each had their own faction, and the stewards seemed to be in harmony with each other, but it was actually fake.

Even though Madam Gao and the first lady are the legitimate mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, their dowry managers all have their own ambitions, not to mention big shots like my eldest brother.

Now, my eldest brother is no longer an official, but the emperor—" Zhou Sishun thought that he didn't know if there would be "nails" outside the study room like what his third daughter had said.

He then imitated the way Third Master Qi bowed to the north when he mentioned the current emperor, "The emperor is so gracious that he lets my brother live here. I wonder how many people will be jealous.

It's okay to be jealous, but my eldest brother told me a long time ago that even the third uncle-in-law knows that the life of our Zhou family belongs to the emperor. If it weren't for the emperor's secret help back then, we, the Qinghe Zhou, would have been exiled.

That's why our San Ya said that if Hui Jie'er was not the daughter of her uncle Qi, no matter how high her family background was, how much her dowry was, or how good her family background was, she would help her eldest brother to stop this marriage.

In San Ya's eyes, it's not a matter of mismatching the two families. San Ya is worried that someone has ulterior motives and wants to use our family to win over my eldest brother to harm the emperor's family.

San Ya said, "Dad, I don't understand the truth. I only know that people should be grateful and repay kindness. My master and my uncle were saved by the current emperor and queen mother. Even our Qinghe Zhou and Yangzhou Zhou were able to escape the disaster. Even I was protected by my master and grew up. All this is the kindness of the queen mother and the emperor."

I would be unworthy of being a human being if I forget such a great favor. I don’t care what outsiders say about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I only know that whoever the current emperor likes is my benefactor.

When the day comes that my benefactor needs me, I will risk my life to repay the favor owed to my master and uncle, and to repay the great benefactor of our Zhou family.

This time when I went out, I kept wondering if there was anyone with bad intentions who knew that we were ignorant and approached us to win over the big brother in order to do something.

After all, my eldest brother is no longer an official, but Brother Qi is still an official. Is there any way for outsiders to take advantage of our marriage?"

Gu Erzhu said, and seeing that Li wanted to reply, he quickly patted his wife, fearing that she wouldn't be able to speak, "I don't understand, all we can do is not hold big brother back.

Look how smart Second Brother Gu is. Ever since our family has no intention of marrying into the Zhao family, he has come here again. He will not let outsiders think that Boss Zhao and my eldest brother are in cahoots.

That's why he took advantage of this critical moment of engagement, when we were definitely too busy to leave, and took his second sister-in-law and the children to the Zhao Mansion to meet the old couple of the Zhao family.

It should be a long time before they come back. We haven't seen each other for so many years. They are always talking about this and that. Some of them said that they will not come back until dark.

The old couple in the Zhao family who were able to give birth to the sperms of Zhao Lao Da and Zhao Lao San, how bad could their brains be? They must be unable to leave even if they wanted to. "

Seeing Zhou Sishun smile as he spoke, Li heaved a sigh of relief, "Yes, ever since our San Ya came back, everyone likes to hang out with us.

Sister, I'm talking about Sanya's mother-in-law. She said that ever since Sanya came into the family, the wife of the county magistrate has known her as a country peasant woman and even called her a sister.

The wife of the county magistrate used to be so arrogant. Everyone in Qingyang County knows that even the wife of the county magistrate and the wife of the county magistrate don’t give face to her. I was so scared that I had to hide from her! "

Zhou Sishun was stunned when he heard this. He thought that if there was a nail outside, would the words his wife said be considered as a trap for the county magistrate?
"And the county lieutenant, Mr. Huang, seems so friendly now, but who doesn't know that Mr. Lin was the original lender and his favorite concubine was involved."

Do you want to stop?
"And the county lord, what a coward! He is an official sent by the court, but he still can't defeat Mr. Huang, who is not even a local resident, for so many years..."

Zhou Sishun hesitated for a moment, and then he heard his wife chattering away in contempt for the county magistrate, saying that he was so bold that he even dared to talk nonsense about the official who was his father!

"…As if I don't understand, he and his wife are trying to win over our San Ya couple, but they don't even consider our San Yu's brains, and whether he can be tricked."

Oh, this is terrible, why are you suddenly talking about the Third Uncle! Zhou Sishun was frightened, and without thinking too much, he quickly took over the conversation, "Yes, those people are always messing around.

The third uncle is a disciple taught by our uncle and our eldest brother. Our uncle and eldest brother hate officials who don't do their jobs and always think about trivial things.

The third uncle said that officials who do not serve the people but only think about making profits for themselves have read the sages' books in vain, are ungrateful to the emperor, and are sorry for the common people.

What did our San Ya say? If an official doesn't serve the people, he might as well go home. "

“Selling sweet potatoes!”
