Xiaoyu was so happy that she almost jumped up, turned her head to look at the fifth brother and said, "This time, you can rest assured that you can go to the county to help Zhou Shizi." I have other things to do outside, so I won't delay you from getting down to business, I'll wait for you at home. As he spoke, he stood up and took his leave.

The fifth brother instantly became vigilant: "What can you do?" Wait at the gatehouse, and go back with me in a while." ”

Zhou Zhen looked at the nervous expression of the fifth brother, and couldn't help but think of the days when he and his brother were working as protons in the capital. He smiled and asked, "What else are you doing outside?"

Xiaoyu pondered for a while, then looked at the fifth brother and replied, "That's the case, we have to live here permanently." I want to buy some ripe fields outside the city, and I will have an income in the future. Otherwise, the family will only have to drink the northwest wind, and at this time, while the tooth store is not closed, I will ask first. Tomorrow there will be nothing to do during the day, just in time to look at the ground. It's spring, and I wonder if I might be able to catch spring planting. ”

When the fifth brother heard this, he hesitated, and it took a long time before he said, "You still wait for me outside." ”

Xiaoyu scratched her head and sighed: "Brother, people are wrong for a while, and people are wrong for a year." ”

The fifth brother was still not at ease, shaking his head and saying nothing.

Xiaoyu couldn't help but sit down again, and now she was face to face with Zhou Shizi and stared at each other.

Zhou Shizi looked at their brother and sister with a smile. The fifth brother sighed, put down the tea cup in his hand and leaned forward: "There is a reluctant invitation to come over this time, she is a girl's family, and she has a naughty temperament, I really don't worry about letting her walk around alone in this unfamiliar place." I also hope that the prince can be forgiving for a few more days, and when my second brother comes, I will go to work, and he will come over in a few days. ”

Xiaoyu obviously didn't agree with his words, shaking her head and sighing on the side.

Zhou Shizi looked at Zhou Zhenxin and said: "No wonder my father is willing to do everything after studying it twice, just after getting the news of the Xia family, he sent Yang Baochen over to stare at the second brother." In this way, there was no useful news from Yang Baochen, and he had time to give two orders this morning. I heard that in the end, I couldn't follow that Chen Peng to the mountains, but I didn't expect that their family actually raised such a girl? Is this what a girl looks like?"

Zhou Zhen thought the same as his brother, although his face was still silent, he had already turned several thoughts in his heart: "This kid doesn't look like a girl's family, no wonder Xue Yu didn't introduce her to me." It's just that I heard that there is a group of private soldiers outside their family, led by the girl in the family. If it's this girl, it makes sense. Could it be that the second brother's reliance is on her personal soldiers? Then, this matter will not be very easy to handle?"

Xiaoyu thought secretly: "In the past, those people heard that I was a woman, and none of them didn't change their face, so why didn't these two people care." Did they already know I was a woman?"

When the fifth brother saw it, he was impressed: "Sure enough, it is a royal child, and he can not be happy or angry when he hears such a strange thing, and he is not shocked when he suddenly comes." ”

It's just that everyone is young in the end, and although everyone knows how to look calm and calm, they actually only control their own expressions. If an outsider looks at it, it must be funny: you look at me, and I look at you, as if some strange spell has fixed them. Everyone looked calm, not knowing what they were thinking.

It was still Zhou Shizi who was older, and he was the first to wake up: "It turned out to be Miss Xia, if so, I should go in to meet my sisters." ”

Zhou Zhen hurriedly stood up: "I'll send you to the second gate." In his heart, he thought the same as his brother, could it be that the second brother of Xia relied on those private soldiers in her hands? The fifth brother of her family was sharp and tactful, if he asked her here, he would definitely not be able to get a bargain, so it was better to take it to his sister-in-law. You can also knock on the side on the road.

Xiaoyu secretly complained in her heart, Yang Baochen was left alone today, she originally wanted to sneak out first to see if anyone had contact with him.

The mother told her privately that she had arranged for three or four people to wait for her here, and she also wanted to go out to see these people while she was free. She is also a little selfish, and she doesn't want her brothers, Yang Baochen and Chen Peng, to know that she has these people here.

I didn't expect the fifth brother to live or die and not let go, and now he is invited into the inner house again... On weekdays, Xiaoyu is still very happy, she is still a child, and she is still very curious about other people's homes. It's just that her sister-in-law and Xiaoxia's mother-in-law helped her clean up in the past few days, and she can barely get out of a bun these days. At this time, she didn't need to be told that her hair must be loose.

Xiaoyu stood up in a panic at this time: "Reasoning, I should go in to meet the princess." It's just that it's not appropriate for me to wear men's clothes in and out of the house. When our luggage arrives, I will definitely come to meet the princess in full costume. ”

Zhou Zhen smiled and thought, "She looks a little girly like this." Thinking about it, I secretly looked at it. It's not that they can't see people, but there are more people who come to devote themselves than their brothers and sisters. The little girl is just a little broken hair carelessly, if it is a man, it will not lose its style, if it is a woman, it will be too sloppy.

Zhou Zhen clapped his hands and said with a smile: "It just so happens that some fabrics came in the house, so it's better to give a few horses to Miss Xia and go back to cut clothes." ”

Xiaoyu's face turned red, and she waved her hand awkwardly and said, "My female celebrity is not very good, it was a waste of material." ”

The fifth brother hurriedly stood up and wanted to refuse, but he didn't expect Zhou Zhen to give him a look. The fifth brother was stunned, and Zhou Zhen thought: "Why didn't you find out before, isn't it the demeanor of the little daughter to look at it like this." He said, "I'll take you to the sewing room, and you just tell them what you want." ”

The fifth brother thought secretly: "Xu is what Xiaoyu said for a while is not good to listen to on the sidelines, she is a girl's family doesn't know, and now she knows that it is not very suitable to put it in the concierge." He stood up and said softly, "Just go and pick two pieces of fabric, don't walk around." When my brother finishes talking, he will ask someone to come over and call you. ”

Xiaoyu was embarrassed, so she reluctantly followed out. Zhou Zhen laughed: "My sisters are not upset when they hear about making clothes, why are you listless." In his heart, he thought about how he could quietly turn the topic to Second Brother Xia.

Xiaoyu smiled bitterly: "I'm not worried about the crops, alas, the fifth brother has lived in the city for a long time..." He said: "You are so anxious to let him go to work, presumably for spring ploughing." ”

Zhou Zhen nodded, Xiaoyu followed him half a step slower, and asked curiously: "Why didn't you follow the prince to fight, it's much more interesting than caring about these trivial things." ”

Zhou Zhen smiled and chatted with her: "The second brother and Brother Kun are in the south with their father. ”

Xiaoyu nodded knowingly.

Zhou Zhen asked her: "Are your other brothers like the fifth brother or like your second brother?"

Xiaoyu giggled: "My brothers are different. ”

As he spoke, he counted on his fingers: "My eldest brother farms, the second brother sells horses, the third brother sells wine, the fourth brother is a carpenter, and the fifth brother is a county official." ”

Zhou Zhen watched her happily like a treasure, and even Fifth Brother Xia, who had not yet taken up his post, used his new position, and couldn't help but laugh along.

Xiaoyu smiled shyly, as if she was embarrassed for her impatience, and continued in the blink of an eye: "The sixth brother is the guard under Liang Guogong, the seventh brother is the head of the case there for us, and the eighth brother... , starlings can't sue you yet. He is our family's secret weapon. "But I secretly thought to myself, Brother Starling, you have to come on.

Zhou Zhen thought about it and secretly wondered: "Could it be that this starling brother is the killer of the second brother?"

The starling who was shot for no reason doesn't know yet, and if he does, he will definitely cry: "Wronged, we are good citizens." No one has ever been killed, and no ant has deliberately trampled on one. ”

Zhou Zhen asked: "In this way, your starling brother is the most powerful?"

Xiaoyu shook her head: "No, the second brother is the most powerful, and the eighth brother loves me the most." Give me anything delicious and fun first. As he spoke, he laughed first: "One time we saw a few children playing with mud by the river, and I wanted to play too, but those boys didn't take me to play. So the eighth brother went up and beat them so hard that they were covered in mud, and they built mud houses with me one by one. ”

Xiaoyu laughed while talking, and suddenly thought that Zhong Ding's family was gentle and introverted, and it didn't seem appropriate to be so domineering, so he hurriedly added: "I had a good time at the time, and my mother beat him up when I went home." ”

Zhou Zhen saw that he was about to go to the needlework room, so he turned back to the second brother stiffly: "Your second brother is so powerful, why don't you look for something in the official barracks." ”

Xiaoyu shook her head and said, "In the army... My mother is reluctant, my sixth brother and so on... The world is determined to go home, and he has always wanted to be a fast catcher. Something else..."Xiaoyu sighed, looked at the door of the needlework room not far away, and said a little abruptly: "When I talk to you now, I feel like a dream, thinking about how I can have such good luck." Alas, I don't know how many come to you every day... I don't have any skills..."Xiaoyu looked at Zhou Zhen, scratched his head and said, "Look at me, what nonsense you said." ”

"The second brother was very sad earlier, on the way here..."Xiaoyu's tone became cheerful again, "The second brother said that you have been fighting for a long time,"

Xiaoyu pointed to his head and silently compared his lips, and Zhou Zhen guessed that he was talking about the word "stupid". I was not very happy in my heart, but I also knew in my heart that the second brother was a person who walked the rivers and lakes, and his thoughts might not be quite the same as those of his soldiers: "So what does he have in mind." ”

Xiaoyu shook his head and smiled: "The second brother is a businessman on the rivers and lakes... Alas... What ideas can we have, if people like us have ideas, what are you going to fight... In fact, for example, when we read a book, we all know and say: Oh, Mengde, why are you so stupid to connect all the boats? But it's our turn" Xiaoyu looked up at Zhou Zhen and smiled shyly, and stopped talking. But he shouted in his heart: "This trip is really tiring." After pondering for a long time, I always felt that I didn't say it tactfully enough, and it was complete. ”

Zhou Zhen chuckled in his heart, and secretly thought: "If you talk about benefits, no matter what, it is the greatest benefit for my father, but... If there is no credit for the eldest brother here, I am afraid that the life of the eldest brother will be even more difficult. In the final analysis, it is still a country boy who does not understand the collusion of interests in this to say such a thing.
