Zhou Li has been going through these two years, and he is not the stunned young man he used to be, and he knows that he has to meet his second brother first. I didn't come the night before yesterday to see the real thing, but now I saw that the second brother was tall and burly, with two thick eyebrows on his face and bright eyes. said with a little admiration: "I heard that Second Brother Xia has not come to our Beihan for a while, I am very familiar with this Chase City, and I know a lot of interesting places, Second Brother, what is the use of the little brother, don't be polite." ”

Song Zhuojin looked constipated on the side, half-hung his head and said in his heart: "I told you a long time ago, no, no." You don't believe it, you have to try, and wait for people to fool you and close the door. ”

The second brother slapped his hand on Zhou Li's shoulder, half of Zhou Li's body was numb, and his legs were weak and he almost knelt down. The second brother said to Fang Zhun, "Brother Fang, look at it! It's not okay to be old if you don't accept the old, this back wave of the Yangtze River pushes the front wave!"

Zhou Li looked at the second brother expectantly, waiting for his next step.

Second Brother Xia then turned his head to look at Zhou Li and nodded: "Brother is still thoughtful, I have a batch of lacquer goods here, let the fifth brother, huh?" The second brother stopped and turned his head and said in a loud voice: "Is Brother Zhang here?"

Zhang Xiangcheng came over at a trot: "Second brother, what are your orders?"

The second brother pointed at Zhou Li: "This is the little brother I just met, you don't have to look down on him because he is not very old." ”

When Zhou Li heard this, he hurriedly made a very old-fashioned appearance and nodded towards Zhang Xiangcheng.

Just as he was discussing this, a brightly dressed and respectful mother-in-law walked in and asked Xu Liangqi's family at the door: "May I ask if the Xia family in Nayue Mountain lives here?"

Second Brother Xia raised his eyebrows and turned his head, looked at the mother-in-law with a smile on his face and asked, "Down there is Second Brother Xia of Nayue Mountain, this concubine looks very raw?"

Na Huan was not afraid, walked up to Second Brother Xia without squinting, and handed over the name card first: "The slave's surname is Liu, and everyone in the house calls me Liu Huanhuan." Yesterday, the third prince sent someone over, saying that a friend was passing by. Ask the slave and maid to come over and ask for peace for the master, and by the way, see if there is any place where the slave and maid can be used. If the ladies want to buy something, if you don't dislike it, the old slave can be a guide. ”

When Zhou Li heard this, his face was so long that knives could fly out of his eyes, and he slashed the woman several times up, down, left and right. Seeing that the mother-in-law didn't look around, she only lowered her eyebrows and pleasing her eyes, half-hanging her head and waiting for the second brother to speak. Zhou Li suddenly thought of Song Zhuojin, turned around and glared at him viciously. Song Zhuojin also secretly screamed ashamed, and in addition to pouring cold water on Zhou Li along the way, he couldn't come up with an idea that could be used. Speaking of which, Zhou Li also has a small house in Datong, and there are also a few mothers-in-law and maids who help clean up the house. I don't know whose mother-in-law this mother-in-law is, so I quickly glanced at the gilded name post.

The second brother didn't seem to care much: "It's hard for the Lan family brothers to think thoughtfully, it's just that my aunt is sick, and she can't do without someone around to take care of her." The implication is that they don't have much time to get out and play.

Zhou Li hesitated and wanted to say something, but he didn't expect the mother-in-law to immediately know the opportunity and say, "Alas, this is really a coincidence." Speaking of which, the third prince has a small house in Datong, and the son has already explained to the slave maid, saying that you had a great friendship with the mansion in the northwest earlier, and I heard that the sixth young master of your mansion is also taking up a position under the account of the grandfather. ”

Xu Liangqi couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and thought to himself: "I underestimated this Xia family." This Xia family is not a prestigious family, and the people who come and go are either rich or expensive. I'm afraid that this surname Zhou is the son of which prince, right?" I thought about King Yi's sons again, the second son seems to be serving in front of the army, but he should be much older than Zhou Li. Could this be the youngest son of King Yi? If you think about the Duke of the Northwest surnamed Lan, there is no one else but Duke Liang. Xu Liangqi was a scholar, although he guessed that Zhou Li was only afraid of being born extraordinary, but he was proud of himself, and he didn't step forward to make fun, but only coldly watched what the second brother would do.

Seeing the hesitation on the second brother's face, the mother-in-law hurriedly said: "This house was bought by the lady for the son, thinking that if the son enters the city, he can also have a place to stay." Madame sent slaves and maids and others over, but it was just to sweep the courtyard. Alas, speaking of which, the third prince lived for so much when he first came, and he was busy with this errand in the barracks on weekdays. ”

Zhou Li was so angry that the green tendons on his forehead jumped, but he was mostly in the camp on weekdays, and he also drank with the brothers when he entered the city. When he left home, his eldest brother told him: "You have been clothed and fed since you were a child, and you don't know that most people in the world are poor. If you live alone in the camp, remember to eat and live with the soldiers. What seems to you is ordinary clothing, food, they may not be able to wear and eat for the rest of their lives. Your life in the army is in the hands of these people, and if they make a mistake, your life will be gone. Don't be jealous. ”

Zhou Li remembered his brother's words, and he didn't go to the house to rest on weekdays, he had the heart to invite Second Brother Xia to his house at this time, but he didn't know the size of the house. It hasn't been a long time, and I don't know if those mothers-in-law and girls have sprinkled and cleaned regularly, and whether they can live in people.

If it was a normal friend, he would have brought someone over directly. Then find out the maid and the woman, and punish the one who should be punished. The so-called concern is chaotic, but he is thinking too much about it now.

The woman was still babbling to herself: "There are many people coming and going in this inn. The elder of the master is still sick, don't be a slave and a slave, you still live comfortably in your own house. ”

While they were talking, Xiaoyu and her second sister-in-law came down from upstairs. Xiaoyu saw Zhou Li at a glance, and ran over in three steps and two steps: "Brother Zhou, is it really you?" After speaking, he hurriedly covered his mouth, thinking that it was too bad to say something. Rolling his eyes: "No! The second brother said in detail on the road yesterday that there were two groups of ambushes. One group is Lan Haoxin, and the other group is Zhou Li. Hurriedly put his hand down again, saluted, and as soon as he lowered his head, he remembered that he was not wearing women's clothes today, and hurriedly hugged his fist at Zhou Li.

Zhou Li saw that she was a few points taller than before, and when he saw him, he couldn't help but run over, with a smiling face innocent, and most of the unhappiness just now went away, and secretly thought: "As long as Xiaoyu sister is good with me, what does it matter whose house she lives in." Thinking about it like this, he hurriedly invited: "Sister Xiaoyu, there is a delicious sugar gourd seller here." You came just in time, and it won't be a few days late. It's a good day, I know that there is a store where the kites are beautiful and fly high. ”

Xiaoyu almost jumped up with joy when she heard this, turned around and ordered Yang Baochen: "Baochen, go and call Rushan and Starling to come, do you want to go play with us too?" ”

Zhou Li heard Xiaoyu call Baochen, and called it kindly, so he couldn't help but look up and down carefully, thinking that this person would have to ask what the origin was in the future.

As soon as Liu Huanhuan heard Zhou Li call Sister Xiaoyu, she opened her eyes quickly, but she saw it quickly, and her expression was respectful, which was not disgusting. Liu Huanhuan thought to herself: "It's nothing for this girl to wear men's clothes to go out to play, but it seems that she is more familiar with this Zhou Gongzi than with our son." ”

Just thinking about it, Lan Haoxin also walked in quickly from outside the store, and when she heard this, she asked, "Sister Xiaoyu, what are you playing!"

The second sister-in-law stood behind Xiaoyu, looking at the young man one by one in surprise, and when she saw Xiaoyu, she was like her own sister, saying that if she went out to play, she would go out to play, which... There's no parenting anymore. She relied on her identity, only stood at the top of the stairs and coughed vigorously a few times, and the cough finally became true, and the second brother, who was smiling and watching the excitement next to her, noticed that the second sister-in-law's expression was a little wrong.

The second sister-in-law had the intention to lead the second brother to a place where there was no one, and told the second brother about the reason that men and women are not kissed, so she made a look. Because he had been coughing for a long time just now, Second Brother Xia didn't notice it, and this look made him not feel comfortable enough, and he was a little anxious.

The second brother frowned, displeased in his heart, and hugged his fists towards a few people: "Unaccompanied, unaccompanied, come when you go down?"

Xiaoyu tugged at the corners of her mouth, sighed and said, "I can't go, let Rushan go to play with you, I just forgot about it as soon as I saw you, Aunt Lu is sick." ”

Zhou Li and Lan Haoxin had a long face, and gave each other a knife in the eye, as if Aunt Lu's illness was caused by the other party.

Liu Huanhuan hurriedly came over to salute Lan Haoxin, and then saluted Xiaoyu: "This is Miss Xia, the slave maid often hears Mrs. Fuli talk about you." ”

Although Xiaoyu also knows the great defense of men and women, after all, he is the child of a rural peasant family, and there are many brothers and brothers in the family, so he doesn't know that it is not a good thing that he is often mentioned by men. I couldn't help but wonder: "I haven't seen your wife again?" Thinking like this, he couldn't help but glance at Lan Haoxin, squinted his eyes and said angrily: "Third brother of the Lan family, are you talking bad about me behind my back?"

Zhou Li lost his temper with Lan Haoxin, so he got up smartly and immediately stood beside Xiaoyu to help: "Captain Lan, this is your mistake, how can you do one thing in front of you and one thing behind your back." ”

Lan Haoxin was so angry that her nose was crooked, and she was not happy to be angry with these two little children, so she turned to look at the woman. Liu Huanhuan's eyelids jumped in fright, and she hurriedly smiled and said: "Look, I'm clumsy, my wife also heard your sixth brother talk about you, saying that you are a heroine among women, and you are really a heroine when I see it today." ”

Xiaoyu's face had just softened a little, and he heard the second brother shout upstairs: "Nonsense!" and then walked down from the stairs quickly.

Although Xiaoyu didn't know why the second brother was so angry, she knew that the family needed to work together, and she was busy saying for the second brother and sister-in-law: "The second sister-in-law's aunt has been infected with the wind and cold these days, and she has been taking care of her. Well, Aunt Sun's health has always been bad, and my second sister-in-law, alas, she is very worried. ”

Lan Haoxin persuaded the second brother when she heard this: "Second brother, the sixth brother and I have a lifelong friendship in the northwest, and our family doesn't talk to each other." If there are no elders who are sick, it's okay, since this is the case, it is better to live in the younger brother's house, although I don't go to that house often, but it is more comfortable than this inn, so that the in-laws and aunts will take care of it for a few days before leaving. ”
