However, on the way back, Housekeeper Xu said worriedly: "Master, that Miss Xie's identity is not simple, even Qiu's mother in the other courtyard is afraid of her, if what you said today reaches her ears, I'm afraid the other party will come to trouble you, young master?"

Zhou Zhong deliberately made his relationship with Xie Lingyun very ambiguous before, just to annoy the second son of Song Dynasty, but judging from Qiu's mother's performance afterwards, Xie Lingyun's identity is not as simple as they imagined, at least thank you The family's influence must be far greater than what was shown on the surface, otherwise it would be impossible for a place like the other courtyard to ask for a refund of the money just because Zhou Zhong and Xie Lingyun have a closer relationship.And looking at the appearance of that Qiu's mother, it seems that she is very afraid of Xie Lingyun.

In fact, there is no need for Steward Xu to remind him. Zhou Zhong had been thinking about why Xie Lingyun had such a big influence before, but after deliberation, he could only come to the conclusion that the Xie family is not simple. As for how the Xie family is not simple, that is It's not just guesswork.

"It's okay, even if Xie Lingyun knew what I said today, she wouldn't do anything to me!" Zhou Zhong said confidently.Although their Zhou family has gone bankrupt, the Zhou family's relationship is still there. For example, his prospective father-in-law, Mr. Wang Lun Wang, is a person who even the magistrate would condescend to make friends with. If you want to move him, you have to weigh it carefully, not to mention that Xie Lingyun is not an ordinary woman, and with her city, she will never care about a few rumors.

When Zhou Zhong and Steward Xu brought Su Niang back to the mansion, the sun had completely set, and Aunt Wang and Zhuaner had already prepared dinner. When they saw Zhou Zhong and the others, they immediately invited the three of them to sit down. He said very enthusiastically: "Chong'er and Uncle Xu, you sit down quickly, this must be Sister Su Niang, sit down quickly and rest, you are inconvenient, please ask the doctor to recuperate your body in two days, pregnant Women must not be sloppy!"

Seeing Aunt Wang's enthusiasm, Su Niang was also flattered. She had heard Steward Xu introduce the situation of the Zhou Mansion on the way, and knew that although Aunt Wang was an aunt in name, she was extremely respected by the young master Zhou Zhong. Her status is also extremely high. Originally, she was thinking about how to please this Aunt Wang, but she didn't expect that the other party didn't have any airs and took the initiative to match her sister.

"Let Madam worry about it, but after Su Niang is redeemed by the young master, she will be considered as a servant of Zhou Mansion. Madam will only call me Su Niang in the future!" Although Aunt Wang called her 'Sister Su Niang', Su Niang But they dare not be arrogant, but consider themselves as inferior.

However, Zhou Zhong, who had just sat down at this time, took Su Niang's words and said: "Su Niang, don't say that, Uncle Xu is loyal to our Zhou family. My aunt and younger sister have already regarded Uncle Xu as their own family, so don't treat yourself as a servant!"

When Zhou Zhong said this, he took out Su Niang's contract of sale from his bosom, and handed it to her, saying, "This is your contract of sale, and I will handle it by you now. Let Uncle Xu take care of it in a few days." You go to the yamen to register your household registration, and then we all have a little fun, and we will hold a make-up wedding for you, and when the child is born, your family will be considered our relatives, if you feel bored, you can come to the inner house to chat with your aunt more often!"

Su Niang looked at the deed of sale in her hand, and heard Zhou Zhong's sincere words in her ears. She couldn't help being moved to tears. She wanted to kneel down and kowtow to Zhou Zhong on the spot, but was stopped by Aunt Wang. After all, she was pregnant. , It's so cold on the ground, it's not good to hurt the child.

This meal was very harmonious, at the dinner table, Butler Xu kept holding vegetables for Su Niang, but he didn't eat much.Su Niang was a bit restrained at the beginning, but after talking with Aunt Wang and Biao'er, she gradually relaxed. In addition, when she was in another hospital some time ago, she did not eat well, and now she just needs nutrition In the end, she ate two big bowls of rice in a row, and Aunt Wang kept praising her for being blessed, and she would definitely give birth to a big fat boy in the future.

After dinner, Steward Xu took Su Niang to the front yard, and introduced to her the general layout of the Zhou Mansion. Zhou Zhong helped Wu Shan deliver the food, but when he came to Wu Shan's residence with a food box, When he was in the yard, he saw Wu Shan slowly coming out of the toilet in the yard, holding a simple crutch.

Seeing this, Zhou Zhong hurriedly stepped forward to support him and said, "Old Wu, don't you have a chamber pot under your bed, why did you go outside to use the bathroom?"

After hearing this, Wu Shan grinned and said: "It's okay, I'm almost recovered now, and it doesn't take much effort to walk a few miles."

Zhou Zhong helped Wu Shan into the room, and then asked him to wipe his hands and prepare to eat. Because of Wu Shan's injuries, he ate on the bed during this time. For this reason, Butler Xu specially found a low table, and when he ate, he ate on the bed. It is also very convenient to put it on the bed, just like the computer desk used by later generations on the bed.

Taking advantage of Wu Shan's meal time, Zhou Zhong briefly told each other about Steward Xu and Su Niang's affairs. After a while, Steward Xu will definitely bring Su Niang to Wu Shan to introduce, so that he can be mentally prepared.

Wu Shan was very happy to hear that Steward Xu was going to have a baby soon, and asked some questions about Su Niang, then he seemed to remember something, turned over and took out a black thing from the small box next to the bed and said : "Young Master Zhou, Uncle Xu finally has a child, and I don't have anything to give him. This longevity lock was worn by me when I was young. What do you think of the child given to Uncle Xu?"

Zhou Zhong took the Longevity Lock and looked at it, and found that it was actually made of silver. The surface looked dark and dirty due to oxidation, so he smiled and said to Wu Shan: "Old Wu, you give the Longevity Lock It's appropriate, but the child is not yet born, so it's too early to give a gift, and your longevity lock has turned black, you'd better find a time for a craftsman to renovate it, so that the child will wear it beautifully!"

Wu Shan nodded again and again when he heard it, and said with a naive smile: "Young Master Zhou, you are more thoughtful, then I will renovate it after I recover from the injury. I guess the child will be born by then, just in time!"

Eating and chatting with Wu Shan, the other party soon ate up all the food delivered, and then cleaned up the dishes with Zhou Zhong while belching.But at this moment, Zhou Zhong discovered that when Wu Shan stretched out his hand, there was a strange-shaped fish tattooed on the inside of Wu Shan's thick and small arm. He saw that this kind of fish had a short and thick body, which looked a bit like a carp, but the front fins were very It is large and looks very characteristic. Zhou Zhong had eaten many fish in his previous life, but he couldn't remember the name of the fish tattooed on Wu Shan's arm for a moment.

Zhou Zhong wanted to ask Wu Shan what kind of fish he had tattooed on his arm, but at this moment, Steward Xu brought Su Niang in. Seeing Zhou Zhong and the others cleaning up the dishes, Su Niang immediately stepped forward to help, although she was pregnant Yes, but the month is still early, so the movements are very quick, and the things are quickly packed into the food box.

At this time, Butler Xu also stepped forward and introduced: "Wu Shan, this is your Aunt Xu. If there is any sewing or mending that needs your Aunt's help in the future, feel free to ask."

"Wu Shan met my aunt!"

Wu Shan also hurriedly bowed and wanted to get up to salute, but Su Niang stopped her and said, "Brother Wu Shan, you are injured, so don't get up again. My aunt is just here to identify the door today. If Brother Wu Shan has something to mend in the future Yes, don't be polite to your aunt!"

Seeing Su Niang's enthusiasm, and thinking of the care that Butler Xu has taken for him during this time, Wu Shan, a rough man, was also doubly moved.Then Steward Xu and Su Niang talked with Wu Shan here for a while, and then returned to their own yard.The two haven't seen each other for such a long time, and now they have a child again, so naturally they have a lot to say.

After Zhou Zhong bid farewell to Wu Shan, he returned to Aunt Wang's yard with the bowls and chopsticks. Duo'er and Biao'er laughed playfully in the bedroom, and there was a silhouette on the window paper. The three brothers and sisters made new clothes for the New Year, Zhou Zhong couldn't bear to go in and disturb them, so he went to the kitchen to wash the dishes and chopsticks, and then asked Aunt Wang to lock the courtyard door, and he went back to the courtyard where he lived.

In the past every day at this time, Zhou Zhong would write Journey to the West under the oil lamp, and this morning he finally finished the last chapter. He thought he could relax, but he didn’t expect to meet with Steward Xu and Su Niang, so he and Xie Lingyun were forced to write. I signed the paper to write another novel comparable to Journey to the West.

"There are only four great novels in Chinese history, forget about Water Margin and Three Kingdoms, and the only remaining novels comparable to Journey to the West are Dream of the Red Chamber. Could it be possible for me to write about the Red Chamber?" Zhou Zhong Sitting under the lamp, he muttered to himself.

However, Zhou Zhong soon realized that the Dream of the Red Chamber was written in the Qing Dynasty, and there are a lot of detailed and documentary descriptions in the book. These may be different from the living habits of the Ming Dynasty. Of course, Zhou Zhong can also use the words "novelist's words" To prevaricate, but if this kind of talk is too much, it will inevitably arouse suspicion, so it is best to find a novel from the Ming Dynasty.

However, although the Ming Dynasty was a peak in the development of novels in Chinese history, apart from Water Margin and Three Kingdoms, it is really difficult to find another novel that is not inferior to Journey to the West.

Zhou Zhong sat there thinking hard for a long time, but he didn't have any clues for the time being. Finally, he simply took a pen and paper, and then took a pen to write down the names of the four great classics. , Journey to the West and The Red Mansion, Three Kingdoms, Water Margin..."

"Wait!" Zhou Zhong suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind at this time, his eyes were fixed on one of the four famous books, and then he let out a burst of hearty laughter: "Hahaha~, I am so confused, why? Forget about it, Xie Lingyun, Xie Lingyun, don’t you just want a novel that makes money, this young master will give you the most profitable novel, I wonder if you have the courage to read it?”
