However, on the way back, Butler Xu looked worried and said: "Master, the identity of Miss Xie's family is not simple. Even Mother Qiu in the other courtyard is afraid of her. If those words you said today reach 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 anger the second young master of Song Dynasty. However, judging from Qiu's mother's behavior later, Xie Lingyun's identity was not as simple as they imagined. At least Xie Lingyun's identity was not as simple as they thought.
The influence of the family must be far greater than what is shown on the surface. Otherwise, it is impossible for a place like Biyuan to ask for a refund just because Zhou Zhong is closer to Xie Lingyun. And look at that Qiu’s mother.
, as if very afraid of Xie Lingyun.
In fact, there is no need for Butler Xu to remind him. Zhou Zhong had been thinking about why Xie Lingyun had such great influence before, but after much deliberation, he could only conclude that the Xie family was not simple. As for why the Xie family was not simple, this is
It's not something you can think of just by guessing.
"It doesn't matter, even if Xie Lingyun knows what I said today, she won't do anything to me!" Zhou Zhong said very confidently. Although their Zhou family has gone bankrupt, their relationship is still there, such as his
The prospective father-in-law, Mr. Wang Lun Wang, is a figure that even the prefect would condescend to befriend. With him covering his face, even if the Xie family really wanted to touch him, they would probably have to think twice. What’s more, Xie Lingyun is not an ordinary woman.
, will never care about a few rumors.
When Zhou Zhong and Butler Xu returned to the mansion with Su Niang, the sun had completely set. Aunt Wang and Zhuo'er had also prepared dinner. When they saw Zhou Zhong and the others, they immediately invited the three of them to sit down, among which Aunt Wang was the more
He said very enthusiastically: "Zhong'er and Uncle Xu, sit down quickly. This must be Sister Su Niang. Sit down quickly and have a rest. You are inconvenient. Please ask the doctor to take care of you in two days. You are pregnant."
Women must not be careless!"
Seeing Aunt Wang being so enthusiastic, Su Niang was also flattered. She had heard Butler Xu introduce the situation of the Zhou Mansion on the way, and knew that although Aunt Wang was an aunt in name, she was highly respected by Young Master Zhou Zhong. She was in the entire Zhou Mansion.
Her status is also very high. She originally thought about how to please this Aunt Wang, but she didn't expect that she didn't have any airs and took the initiative to be commensurate with her sisters.
"Let Madam worry about it, but after Su Niang is redeemed by the young master, even if she is a servant of the Zhou family, Madam will just call me Su Niang from now on!" Although Aunt Wang calls her 'Sister Su Niang', Su Niang
But they dare not be arrogant, but think of themselves as the following people.
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. Even if the family business is in decline, he will never leave. I
My aunt and my little sister have already regarded Uncle Xu as one of their own, so you should not regard yourself as a servant!"
When Zhou Zhong said this, he took out Su Niang's deed of betrayal from his arms, then handed it into her hand and said: "This is your deed of betrayal. Now I will leave it to you to deal with it. 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 together, which can be regarded as a replacement wedding for you. 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 rendition contract in her hand and listened to Zhou Zhong's sincere words. She couldn't help but be moved to tears. She wanted to kneel down and kowtow to Zhou Zhong, but Aunt Wang held her back. After all, she was pregnant.
, the ground is so cold, it won’t be good if it hurts the child.
The meal was very harmonious. Butler Xu kept bringing food to Su Niang at the dinner table, but she didn't eat much. Su Niang was a little nervous at first, but as she talked with Aunt Wang and Zhuo'er, she slowly relaxed
After coming down, in addition to the fact that she did not eat well when she was in the other hospital some time ago, and now it is the time when she needs nutrition, she finally ate two big bowls of rice in a row, which made Aunt Wang keep praising her for being lucky and that she would definitely give birth to a baby in the future.
Big fat boy.
After dinner, Butler Xu took Su Niang around the front yard and introduced her to the general layout of Zhou's house. Zhou Zhong helped Wu Shan deliver food, but when he came to Wu Shan's house with a food box,
When he entered the yard, he saw Wu Shan holding a simple crutch and slowly coming out of the toilet in the yard.
Seeing this, Zhou Zhong hurriedly stepped forward to support him and said: "Old Wu, isn't there a chamber pot under your bed? Why did you go outside to use the toilet?"
After hearing this, Wu Shan grinned and said, "It's okay. I'm almost recovered now. It doesn't take much effort to walk a few steps."
Zhou Zhong helped Wu Shan into the house, and then asked him to wipe his hands and prepare to eat. Because of Wu Shan's injuries, he ate in bed during this period. For this reason, Butler Xu specially found a low table to sit on when eating.
It is very convenient to put it on the bed, just like the computer desk used on the bed in later generations.
While Wu Shan was eating, Zhou Zhong briefly told the other party about Butler Xu and Su Niang. Butler Xu would definitely bring Su Niang to Wu Shan to introduce him to Wu Shan later, so it would be good for him to be mentally prepared.
Wu Shan was very happy when he heard that Butler Xu was going to have a child soon. He asked some questions about Su Niang. Then he seemed to remember something again. He turned over and took out a dark object from the small box on the bedside.
"Mr. Zhou, Uncle Xu is finally going to have a child, and I don't have anything to give him. This longevity lock was worn by me when I was a child. What do you think of the child I gave to Uncle Xu?"
Zhou Zhong took the longevity lock and looked at it, and found that it was made of silver. The surface looked dark and dirty due to oxidation, so he smiled and said to Wu Shan: "Old Wu, give me the longevity lock."
It's appropriate, but the child hasn't been born yet, so it's a bit too early to give a gift. Besides, your longevity lock has turned black. It's best to find a time to let the craftsmen renovate it, so that the child will look beautiful wearing it!"
When Wu Shan heard this, he nodded repeatedly and said with a naive smile: "You are thoughtful, Mr. Zhou. Then wait for me to recover from the injury and then go to renovate it. I guess the baby will be born soon by then, so it will be just in time!"
Accompanying Wu Shan, he ate and chatted. Soon the other party finished the food he had brought, and then he burped and cleared the dishes with Zhou Zhong. But at this moment, Zhou Zhong noticed that when Wu Shan stretched out his hand, he revealed
There is a strange fish tattooed on the inside of his thick little arm. This fish has a short and thick body and looks a bit like a carp, but the fins in the front are very wide and look very distinctive. It is not the fish that Zhou Zhong had eaten in his previous life.
A few, but I can’t remember the name of the fish tattooed on Wu Shan’s arm.
Zhou Zhong wanted to ask Wu Shan what kind of fish was tattooed on his arm, but at this moment, Butler Xu walked in with Su Niang. When he saw Zhou Zhong and the others clearing away the dishes, Su Niang immediately stepped forward to help. Although she was pregnant
, but the month was still early, so I moved very quickly and quickly packed the things into the food box.
At this time, Butler Xu also stepped forward and introduced: "Wu Shan, this is your Aunt Xu. If you need your aunt's help with any repairs in the future, just ask."
"Wu Shan has met his aunt!"
Wu Shan also hurriedly leaned forward and wanted to get up to salute, but Su Niang stopped him and said: "Brother Wu Shan, you are injured, so don't get up again. Today, my aunt is just here to greet you. In the future, if Brother Wu Shan has something to do, he can make up for it."
Yes, don’t be polite to your aunt!"
Seeing Su Niang being so enthusiastic, and thinking about Butler Xu's care for him during this period, Wu Shan, a rough man, was even more moved. Then Butler Xu and Su Niang stayed with Wu Shan to talk for a while, and then returned to their
My own yard. The two haven't seen each other for such a long time, and now they have a child, so naturally they have a lot to talk about.
After Zhou Zhong said goodbye to Wu Shan, he returned to Aunt Wang's yard with the bowls and chopsticks. The playful laughter of Duo'er and Huo'er came from the bedroom. A silhouette was reflected on the window paper. It was Aunt Wang who was preparing for Zhou under the lamp.
The three brothers and sisters were wearing new clothes for the New Year. Zhou Zhong couldn't bear to go in and disturb them, so he went to the kitchen and washed the dishes. Then he asked Aunt Wang to fasten the courtyard door, and he returned to the courtyard where he lived.
In the past, Zhou Zhong would write Journey to the West under an oil lamp at this time every day. He finally finished writing the last chapter this morning. He thought he could relax a bit, but he didn't expect to encounter Butler Xu and Su Niang, which ended up forcing him and Xie Lingyun.
I signed the paperwork to write another novel comparable to Journey to the West.
"There are only four major masterpieces in Chinese history. We don't need to think about Water Margin and Three Kingdoms. The only other novel that can rival Journey to the West is Dream of Red Mansions. Is it possible for me to write Red Mansions as well?" Zhou Chong
He sat under the lamp and muttered to himself.
However, Zhou Chong soon thought that the Dream of Red Mansions was written during the Qing Dynasty. The book contains a large number of detailed and documentary descriptions. These may be different from the living habits of the Ming Dynasty during this period. Of course, Zhou Chong could also use the term "novelist's words"
I’m here to prevaricate, but if you talk like this too much, it will inevitably arouse suspicion, so it’s 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 and thought hard for a long time, but he didn't have any clue for the time being. Finally, he simply took the paper and pen, and then took up the pen to write down the names of the four famous works. He sat there and thought about it, and murmured: "Three Kingdoms, Water Margin"
, Journey to the West and Red Mansions, Three Kingdoms, Water Margin..."
"Wait a minute!" Zhou Zhong suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind. He stared at one of the four famous classics with his eyes, and then burst into a hearty laugh and said, "Hahaha~, I'm so confused. Why?"
