Chapter 113

Zhou Xuan smiled and looked at the family of three in front of him.

It sounds so nice!

He raised his hand and threw the silver ingot, Zhang quickly reached out to catch it, and the silver ingot fell firmly into her hands.

"Thank you, young master, for the reward." She saluted and thanked her.

Zhou Xuan finally couldn't help laughing.

These people are really interesting, this is obviously not his money.

"No thanks, no thanks." He got up and raised his legs, but saw a shadow of a person printed by the window.Slender and thin, she is a young girl.

Who is this?
How long have you been here?
How much did he listen to what the Zhang couple said?

Zhou Xuan's face turned cold, he raised his hand and made a hush motion, picked up the chair he was sitting on just now, moved his steps quietly, and then smashed it out quickly and hard.

"Ah..." The short scream came from a girl.

Zhou Xuan hurriedly ran over to push the window. As soon as he put his hand on the window sill, he felt a sudden pain in his shoulder. When he turned his head, he only saw Qiushuang's eldest brother and sister-in-law who looked shocked. Where is the girl who was hit by him just now?

It was empty there.

"Young master, is someone eavesdropping?" Mrs. Zhang asked hastily.

Zhou Xuan couldn't laugh anymore, someone was eavesdropping, but he didn't know who it was.He looked at Qiushuang's brother and sister-in-law coldly, and finally his eyes fell on the little girl in Qiushuang's arms.

"Qiu Shuang really doesn't know?" He asked.

The voice was very soft, but there was a ruthlessness in it.

Zhang's loving mother hurriedly stood in front of her daughter, and raised her hand to swear: "She really doesn't know, she will honestly follow your arrangement, young master. She has only my man and one elder brother, and she will definitely share it with her." Clear and heavy."

"That's good." Zhou Xuan said, turned and walked out.

One Qiushuang and one Sixi, is that enough?
Maybe not enough...

When Xuezhu returned to Bishuiju in a mess, Yijia was already so sleepy that she nodded.

"You...what's the matter with you?" Yijia hurriedly helped Xuezhu who couldn't walk steadily.

"Thank you, miss." Xuezhu smiled at Yijia, sat down on the chair obediently, and said, "I was smashed, you asked me to investigate Qiushuang's affairs. It was sold by the eldest wife before. At that time, Qiushuang took the money and went to find Ren Yazi, saying that she wanted to buy her brother and sister-in-law. But the man said that she wanted to show the eldest wife first, so she didn't take the money, but put her Her brother and sister-in-law were sold separately, her brother and niece were sold as coolies, and her sister-in-law was sold as a prostitute in a low-grade kiln in the north of the city."

"Qiu Shuang took the money to redeem her, but neither party redeemed her. I don't know exactly how, but today I found out that her brother and sister-in-law are all in the low-grade brothels in the north of the city, and the young master of the Dongfu has also passed by. It was the young master who found me and smashed me. But there is..." Xuezhu was careless, almost slipping the tongue, and hurriedly remedied: "But I checked the terrain in advance, although I was accidentally hit, but I can guarantee that, He didn't see me."

It's Zhou Xuan again!

What kind of bad idea is he playing again? Does he have to come to a fight to the death?
"How are you? You sit here and rest for a while, I'll ask Xiaoyu to invite the doctor over." Yijia said.

"No need, miss." Xue Zhu called her to stop, "I'm fine, I just got hit, I don't need to call a doctor, I'll just go back and give her a massage."

"Is it true that you don't need to invite a doctor? Do you want to go to Hangzhou Mansion with me tomorrow?" Yijia was still a little worried.

Xue Zhu shook her head with a smile, and said, "It's really unnecessary."

Yijia saw that she didn't seem to be holding on, so she said, "Have you eaten yet? You've been tired for a long time. If it's useless, ask the kitchen to make some for you, then go to bed early, and you have to get up early tomorrow morning. "

"I haven't eaten yet." Xue Zhu said, "Miss, you should go to bed earlier, I'll ask Xiao Yu to go to the kitchen and beg for food."

After Xuezhu retreated, Yijia thought about Zhou Xuan again.

He and his aunt spent a lot of time dealing with Qiushuang, and they must have wanted Qiushuang to do something.No matter what you do, it will definitely not be a good thing.

After all, I am soft-hearted.

In her previous life, she and Zhou Xuan didn't face each other face to face, so she just thought about what happened last time and taught him a lesson.

Unexpectedly, he didn't stay quiet for a long time, and he jumped out to cause trouble again.

Fortunately, Qiushuang was her maid, so what Zhou Xuan did was supposed to be aimed at herself.As long as there is no problem with her father and aunt, she doesn't have to worry too much. If she can't spare to teach him a lesson now, she will have to wait until she comes back from Hangzhou.

Just to see what kind of tricks he wants to throw!
The next day, after getting up early and having some casual breakfast, Zhou Chengyan sent their mother and daughter out of the city.There were three carriages in total, Li's mother, Yuqiu, and Xuezhu, the three of them were in a carriage in which three of Jia's mother and daughter were sitting, and the second one was Qiushuang Bailu and Yiwan's maid Yuxiang.In addition, the butler Wang Quan brought three servants to accompany him.
On the carriage out of the city, Yijia suddenly thought of Liang Mingzhi.

It would take several months for her to go, but the news came in a hurry, and there was something about Qiu Shuang yesterday, so she forgot to report to him.If he found out that he had already gone to Hangzhou Mansion when he came to look for him, he would be disappointed and angry.

She secretly winked at Xue Zhu.

Xue Zhu looked over, and she gestured and wrote a character Liang on the palm of her hand.

Zhou Yiwan saw it and called out, "Sister, what are you and Xuezhu talking about?"

Xue Zhu glanced at Mrs. Song, and said with a smile: "This servant is illiterate, the second young lady is teaching this servant to read!"

Xiao Song looked over, because of the sudden serious illness of Mrs. Song, Xiao Song became much haggard in just one day.

"Wan'er, go and learn how to read from your sister?" She patted her daughter in her arms and said softly.

Zhou Yiwan has always been a studious child, and as soon as Xiao Song finished speaking, she crawled out of her arms and threw herself on Yijia.

Yijia was not teaching Xuezhu how to read at all, but she was too embarrassed to say so, so she had to wink at Xuezhu again, picked up Zhou Yiwan, and wrote a character Zhou in her palm, teaching her to recognize and write.

Xue Zhu shook her head at her.

Yijia was in a hurry, and she didn't know if the girl understood what she meant. She asked her to send a letter to Liang Mingzhi, telling her about her departure from the capital. What did she mean by shaking her head?

Before Xuezhu explained, Yijia understood what it meant.

When the group arrived at the gate of the city, she heard Liang Mingzhi's voice.

I don't know what he said to his father, but when his father came to say goodbye to them and then set off on the road, Liang Mingzhi's carriage followed them.Not only that, but there were two more guards on the side of their carriage.

Mrs. Song and Li's mother said: "This time, I really want to thank Uncle Liang. If he hadn't happened to go to Suzhou Mansion for something, I don't know how frightened I would have been on this journey. With him here, there are so many With more guards around, I can relax in my heart."

Mother Li smiled and said: "No, it's really a coincidence. With Uncle Liang around, the guards around him are scary. It must be very safe along the way." And said: "Just I hope the old lady is fine, and when we arrive, she will be fine if she recovers from her illness."

"I really hope mother is okay." Xiao Song said.

Yijia doesn't have deep feelings for Mrs. Song, and she can count on one hand the number of times she has seen her since she was a child.Of course, she also hoped that Mrs. Song was fine, but at this moment, listening to the conversation between Mother Li and Mrs. Song, she thought of Liang Mingzhi.

When they can't have something to do, they have to have something to do when they go to Hangzhou Mansion because of their grandmother's affairs.She thought with a guilty conscience, wouldn't Liang Mingzhi want to escort them deliberately because he was worried that they would be unsafe on the road?
But along the way, she accompanied Xiao Song in the carriage in front, so she didn't have a chance to ask.Because she was worried about Mrs. Song's health, she traveled very quickly all the way, from morning to noon without stopping, and didn't stop the carriage until the beginning of Weishi, and arrived at a town.

The carriage stopped under the only restaurant in the town. As soon as they entered, a girl who looked very smart and capable came up to her.

"Mrs. Zhou, Ms. Tuesday, the slaves are Cui Zhu from the Anping Hou Mansion. Our son has already ordered the dishes. They are in the box on the second floor. Let me take a few of you there." She said with a smile.

No wonder the face looked familiar, it turned out to be Cuizhu whom I had seen once last time.

Didn't she help Liang Mingzhi manage the Hongyan Hall? Why did she appear here?
Yijia suspiciously followed Mrs. Song forward, entered the box on the second floor, and saw that the table was already full of sumptuous dishes, and each dish was still steaming, obviously it had just been delivered not long ago of.

"Why did this dish come out so quickly?" Xiao Song asked in surprise.

Cui Zhu replied with a smile: "My servant came here in a carriage first, and I didn't know what you like to eat, so I asked the store to serve the signature dishes here. Tell me what you like to eat later, and wait until the next day." The servants will know when they are together."

Xiao Song suddenly didn't know what to do, "How can this be done, how can I trouble you so much."

"Mrs. Zhou, you are welcome. This is what our elder son ordered, as long as you eat comfortably." Cui Zhu said, and had already set up dishes for Mrs. Song, "Your servant girl has been riding with you for so long. I'm exhausted thinking about it, Mrs. Zhou, don't dislike me for being clumsy, just ask me to serve you for a while."

Although she was polite and enthusiastic, she really set up the dishes, but Xiao Song didn't know how to refuse her every move.

Yijia knew that this was Liang Mingzhi's wish. This maid named Cuizhu had already been ordered, and she would definitely serve her aunt as obediently as possible.

She persuaded Xiao Song, who was obviously restless, "Mother, Uncle Liang must have ordered this. It happens that Mama Li and Yuqiu are also tired, so don't refuse. Just thank Uncle Liang later."

When going out, Liang Mingzhi strictly abides by etiquette.

Xiao Song took his two daughters alone, so he couldn't sit down and eat together no matter what.

Seeing what Yijia said, Xiao Song did not refuse.However, Yuqiu was not asked to feed Zhou Yiwan anymore, and Zhou Yiwan was asked to eat with Cuizhu.

Even though they were riding in a carriage, they were all people who were used to being pampered. Even a maid like Yuqiu was exhausted after sitting in a carriage all morning.

Only then did Yijia get interested in seeing what dishes were on the table.

On the table there is a West Lake vinegar fish, a goose palm with wine lees, a small chicken stewed with mushrooms, stir-fried three shredded vegetables, cold cucumber, and a crystal cabbage.These are Yijia's favorite dishes, and besides that, there are several meat dishes and vegetarian dishes with large plates, which should be the signature dishes of this restaurant.

Yijia didn't know Cuizhu in her previous life.

But looking at her and looking at the dishes on the table, she always had a strange feeling, as if the dishes she liked were not made by the same chef as the dishes in the restaurant.

She picked up a chopstick of chicken with the attitude of giving it a try. The chicken was very badly cooked, with a slight mushroom smell, and it was not greasy at all.Then I picked up a plate of full-bodied dishes next to it, and it felt extremely greasy in my mouth as soon as I ate it.

Obviously not the same person.

Thinking of that possibility, Yijia didn't know what to say to Liang Mingzhi.

This is in a hurry, and he still has so many thoughts on his mind.

Although a few people had no appetite because of the news that Mrs. Song was seriously ill, they didn't eat like this in the morning, and after staying up until this hour, Mrs. Song simply asked the maids to sit down and eat together.

When she moved her chopsticks, Yijia wasn't the only one who felt something was wrong.

Mother Li ate a piece of fish, and then ran to grab a piece of beef, the signature dish of the shop, and her face wrinkled immediately.

"Ma'am, this restaurant is really interesting. Why is beef the signature dish, but this West Lake Vinegar Fish is not? The taste is obviously much better than West Lake Vinegar Fish. The chef of this Vinegar Fish is really good. Unfortunately, it’s so delicious that it can’t even be counted as a signature dish.” She said.

Xiao Song pointed to the stewed chicken with mushrooms and said: "There is also this dish, which is better than our cook, and these few vegetarian dishes are also good, I am afraid that the taste in this town is different from ours. Well, otherwise, how could it be the other way around?"

Cuizhu, who had been feeding Zhou Yiwan, smiled and said, "I made Mrs. Zhou and this mother laugh. These dishes are not made by the master chefs here, but by the servants."

Xiao Song and Li's mother were very surprised, "You did it? When did you get here?"

Cui Zhu said: "My servant can ride a horse, so it is faster than you in a carriage. Our son is afraid that you and the two ladies will not be used to the dishes cooked by the masters in this town, so we let this servant come over earlier to cook. I don’t have other skills, but cooking is still passable.”

"It's not only passable, you can directly open a restaurant with your skills!" Mama Li boasted.

"Mom has won the award." Cui Zhu said.

After lunch, everyone was not in a hurry to leave immediately, otherwise it would be very uncomfortable to ride the bumpy carriage immediately.Xiao Song chatted with Li's mother while drinking tea, while Yijia continued to teach her younger sister to read.

"I really don't know how to thank him. I always feel that no matter what I say, I can't express my gratitude. I have to write to the master and ask the master to thank him solemnly." Xiao Song said.

Mother Li nodded, and echoed: "No, Uncle Liang has never married. I didn't expect him to be so safe and considerate. Everyone said that our master is a safe person, but I see, this Uncle Liang is even worse. It's a deal."

"No, I just went out to clean the room, and saw that Cuizhu girl had already got on her horse and left. I asked Chen Ping who was in front of Uncle Liang and found out that Uncle Liang told her to go to the next place to wait in advance." Yu Qiu entered He came to the door and just answered this sentence.

Xiao Song sighed casually: "Uncle Liang is such a good person, I don't know who will be so lucky to be his wife in the future."

Yi Jia was obviously by the side with his sister, but his face immediately blushed when he heard this.

Zhou Yiwan shouted angrily: "Sister, why is your face red? Is it hot? Why isn't Wan'er hot?"

Yijia was stunned by her, and before she had time to explain, Xiao Song hurried over and touched her forehead, "Could it be a fever?"

Yijia felt guilty, for fear that the matter between her and Liang Mingzhi would be discovered by Xiao Song.

"No, it's just a little boring after staying in the room for a long time." She said hurriedly.

Xiao Song felt relieved after testing her forehead, and said: "It's not a fever, let's rest for a while, let's go now."

Yijia couldn't ask for more, so she hurriedly pulled Zhou Yiwan, who was still talking, to take the lead and walked out.

As soon as he went out, he saw the door next to him open, and Liang Mingzhi, Chen An and Chen Ping also came out one after another. Thinking of the embarrassment just now, Yijia glared at him before quickly walking downstairs.

Liang Mingzhi didn't understand, so he looked at himself, and didn't know what was going on for a long time.

From the capital to Hangzhou Mansion, if you go by land all the time, it may take about a month at the speed of the female relatives. If you go by land first and then by water, it will take about [-] days to arrive.

So when they stopped at the post station on the first night, Xiao Song asked someone to send a message to Liang Mingzhi, and it was scheduled to take the waterway in ten days.

It is very inconvenient to go out, and the food and lodging are not as good as at home. At night, Yijia just fetched water to freshen up, and then drove the servants to sleep, and she was also tired on the bed.

While sleeping in a daze, he suddenly heard the door creak and was pushed open.

Yijia immediately thought of Zhou Xuan, jumped up in fright and was about to scream.

"It's me!" Liang Mingzhi quickly walked over and covered her mouth.

Yijia's beating heart calmed down a little, "It's you, it's so late, why are you here?"

Liang Mingzhi reached out and hugged her and sat down at the table, without letting go, he hugged her directly in his arms.

"If I don't come, won't you think of telling me when you get to Hangzhou Mansion?" He snorted, "You are really cruel. You have been away for several months, and you don't even know to come with me?" Say."

Yijia moved unnaturally.

"I told Xue Zhu to send you a letter." She muttered without confidence.

"When did you tell her?" Liang Mingzhi asked.

This morning!

Yijia saw his deliberately sunken face, unable to speak.Playing tricks: "She didn't go to tell you, didn't you know it anyway? Say, who told you? Is there a traitor around me, or are you spying on me?"

She pointed at Liang Mingzhi with her finger.

Seeing that she did not admit her mistake, Liang Mingzhi pointed at her pretending to be angry, opened his mouth and bit her finger.

"Oh, dirty!" Yijia cried softly, and at the same time pulled her hands out.

Liang Mingzhi just lightly touched her finger with his upper and lower teeth, and when she twitched, he immediately let go.

"This time I'm giving you a reminder, if you leave without saying goodbye next time, I'll really bite you," he said.

Yijia heard his hoarse voice, nodded indiscriminately, and pushed him to get up, "Let go, let me get up."

"Not loose." Liang Mingzhi's hands were tightly bound, "This is also punishment."

Yijia had no choice but to get angry with him sullenly.

He didn't even know if he was reborn, if he wasn't reborn, he was really just a 12-year-old girl, he broke in at night, hugged and bit, what did he think he was?

Although he said that he would propose marriage to his father, hasn't he mentioned it yet?

What does it look like for two people to be so entangled without a matchmaker?
And today when my aunt rushed over during the day, she was frightened. If outsiders knew about the two of them, I don't know what it would be like.

It must be said that she did not know how to seduce him.

Seeing that she was really angry, Liang Mingzhi pouted.Then he relaxed his hand a little, and spoke to her in a very aggrieved voice: "Look at you, you will leave the capital for several months and I won't see you, I feel uncomfortable, can't you be unhappy? ? I saw you couldn't help hugging you, and you're going to be angry too, you're too cruel."

It was obviously his fault, and he said it so aggrieved, as if it had become his own fault.

Yijia was even more angry.

But there was always his humble voice next to his ear.

He liked her so much in the previous life, and he had never spoken to her so humbly. She couldn't bear it, and cracks appeared on her sullen face.

"You've been hugging me for a long time..." She reminded him softly.

This little girl.

No matter how kind he was to her in the previous life, even if he gave her his heart, she would not hug him so affectionately.Even if he hadn't pushed and kicked him with his hands, he would have already had a cold face, with the words "don't get close to strangers" all over his face.

But in this life, she endured him playing such a rascal.

Liang Mingzhi was even more soft-hearted.

Hugging her and burying his face in her neck, he took a deep breath before letting go.

"Okay, I won't move you, just talk like this." He said, and warned her again, "But you must not move."

If Yijia was really a 12-year-old girl, she naturally didn't know what his last warning meant.But she had been his wife for two years in her previous life, so she didn't know what he meant.

She blushed with shame, and buried herself in his chest, refusing to lift it up.

Liang Mingzhi stopped teasing her.

Although the little girl is different from her previous life, but if I am teasing her like this, I don't know if she will be really angry.If you ignore him when you are angry, then he will suffer a lot.

He pressed his lips lightly on the top of her head, and then said: "A while ago, I was with your father every day, and I mentioned our matter to him in a vague way. Although he didn't understand it for a while, but when I really When you propose marriage, you can definitely think of it immediately. I see that his attitude is not bad, and he doesn't seem to be opposed. When we come back from Hangzhou, we can talk to him directly."

Yijia was also very happy to hear that, and without being shy, she raised her head and asked, "Really? How did you tell my father?"

"I said, if there is a young man who is a few years older than Yijia, with a prominent family background, knowledgeable and handsome, and he cherishes Yijia very much, would you consider such a son-in-law?" After Liang Mingzhi finished speaking, he couldn't bear it. Laughed.

Yijia beats his chest.

"There's no such thing as you, you boast yourself!" She said angrily, "You still lied to me! Tell me well!"

"You don't have to worry about these things. You've been tired all day. Rest early. When you get back to the capital, you can be your wife at ease." Liang Mingzhi said.

Seeing that he refused to speak, Yijia really had no other way to deal with him.

She knew that the guilt in her heart was probably at work. When facing him, she always put herself very low involuntarily.Even if she knew that he liked her very much, she couldn't control herself.

"Is it okay for you to come out like this? You have just been canonized as the son, and it would not be good to leave the capital for a few months like this?" Yi Jia had to ask other things.

"It's okay, I told King Xiang before I came out, he knows." Liang Mingzhi said softly, seeing Yijia opened his mouth to look at her, the bright red lips made his heart itch, he couldn't hold back a kiss Only then let her go. "Rest early, we have to hurry tomorrow."
