Early the next morning, Zhou Jianxiong and Zhou Xiya rushed to the outside of the city with a team of people, the cemetery of their branch was not in the family cemetery of the Zhou family, his grandfather's generation developed in the capital together, and for the convenience of worship, they made the decision to choose the cemetery outside the capital as their new family cemetery.

The cemetery's grave keeper has gotten the news, and came to greet the "second young master, eldest lady" in advance A tomb keeper in his sixties saw Zhou Jianxiong's father and daughter, with an excited face, he was Zhou Jianxiong's father's housekeeper, and he stayed in the Zhou family all his life, and after the old master died, he asked for orders to come here to guard the tomb.

"Old Uncle Zhong, your old body is fine." Zhou Jianxiong held the grave keeper's arm.

"Okay, my body is still quite strong, young master, you are finally back, so that the master and Mrs. can rest assured." Old Uncle Zhong looked at Zhou Jianxiong with satisfaction, the second young master, who had been seen since childhood, is now middle-aged, and the years are not forgiving.

"I'll arrange it back, arrange a big sacrifice, worship my grandparents, parents and them, today I just took the child to see her mother, Uncle Zhong, you are also old, or follow me back to the house, it is bitter cold outside the city, you have always lived too hard here." Zhou Jianxiong persuaded.

"No need, I'm fine, I'm used to living outside the city, it's clean here, and I'm not lonely, and I have a big dog to accompany me, usually people from Zhuangzi will also come over to send me some melons, fruits and vegetables, here I can still talk to the master, a lifetime of master and servant, I just want to guard the master here, and when I die, the young master can directly let people bury me on the periphery of the cemetery, and I don't have anything else to ask for." Old Uncle Zhong smiled and shook his head.

"Alas, well, but what do you have to tell me, I am now in the capital, and I will not go to the border again in the near future." Loyal servants are hard to find, so he still follows Uncle Zhong's wishes.

"Okay, stay and go, I'll take you to the young lady's cemetery." Old Uncle Zhong glanced at Zhou Xiya, and sighed secretly in his heart, it's a pity, the second young master only has two daughters, and no son inherits the family business, the eldest young master has three sons over there, but it's a pity that the eldest young master didn't see the child grow up, how can there be such a perfect thing in this world.

The cemetery was cleaned very clean, Zhou Jianxiong walked over and gently stroked his wife's tombstone, "Rou'er, I brought my daughter to see you." ”

Looking at the tombstone carved by his own hands, his fingers gently swiped his wife's name on the tombstone, and his eyes were full of infinite longing.

The money housekeeper set up the sacrifices, Zhou Xiya didn't bother her father, she knew that her father had a lot to say to her mother, lighting candles, burning incense candles, respectfully putting on three incense sticks, Zhou Xiya respectfully knelt on the futon and kowtowed, "Mother, my daughter is back"

Raised her head, her tears were blurred, her mother's voice and smile she still remembered, it was her deepest attachment, even if it was a new life, but it was too late, when she woke up, her mother had closed her eyes.

Because of her young body, she couldn't bear the blow and was in a coma for several days, so that Bai had a chance to take advantage of it like in her previous life and became pregnant with Zhou Xiwan.

"Mother, the cause of your death is by no means simple, maybe it is because you see that your daughter was so pitiful in her previous life, so that your daughter will be reborn, and give your daughter a chance to take revenge, mother, the slut of my aunt in my last life, when I was dying, I once said to me, you have a solid disease of asthma, as long as you don't remove the pollen, you are not easy to get sick, the family has been isolated from the flowers that make you sick, but my aunt actually took the opportunity to see you, smeared the pollen on my body, I am your daughter, you are defenseless against your young daughter, In the process of hugging me, I was contaminated with pollen, causing your condition to recur, making your body weaker and weaker, grandma came to accompany you at home, and my aunt also followed, she kept putting pollen on me, so that you died, mother, I hate myself so much, I became an accomplice who indirectly made you sick, mother, my daughter will definitely avenge you, and I will never let my aunt die so easily, I want her to live better than death. Zhou Xiya looked at her mother's tombstone, her eyes were full of hatred, and she swore silently in her heart.

"Rou'er, look, our Ya'er has grown into a big girl, how good it would be if you were still there, maybe you are worried about what kind of wishful husband you will find for our daughter now, don't worry, I will choose a good person for Ya'er to accompany her for a lifetime, and let Ya'er bring it to you when the time comes......" Zhou Jianxiong muttered to himself.

Zhou Xiya stood up after worshipping, silently walked to the side, leaving space for her father to talk to her mother, she knew that her father had been very bitter in her heart over the years, and lovesickness was the most difficult, maybe her mother left too early, and what remained in her father's memory was only her mother's voice and smile and the bits and pieces of their childhood sweethearts.

It wasn't early, Zhou Xiya walked up to Zhou Jianxiong, held his arm and reminded, "Dad, we should go back." ”

"Rou'er, my daughter and I will leave first, and I'll come back to see you" Zhou Jianxiong gently stroked the tombstone, hiding the sadness in his eyes, and left with Zhou Xiya.

In the next few days, Zhou Xiya was busy rectifying some things in the house, under her drastic rectification, the important positions in the house were replaced with their own people, or some old people in the house, the people used in the previous mother's management of the house were driven away by the Bai family, and the demotion was degraded, and even a part of it was co-opted, Zhou Xiya picked up the people who could be used, and formed her own team as soon as possible, so that it would not affect the normal operation of the house. As for whether these people can continue to use it, we have to wait and see.

In the afternoon, Zhou Xiya competed in the courtyard with her grandmother's maid Bi Zhen, Bi Zhen's martial arts are good, Zhou Xiya fought very happily, the two did not use weapons, just fists and feet, attention, do not hurt each other, such a move, sweating, extremely comfortable. The more she doesn't move in winter, the tighter her body becomes, it's not like the border here, some people can accompany her to make moves, she has now become everyone's lady, living in the backyard, most of the people she sees are women, where can she still be like before, she pulls her father's guards at every turn to make two moves.

"Stop, let's rest" Zhou Xiya stopped, Jinxiu immediately took the cloak and put it on Zhou Xiya, just sweating, Miss don't freeze.

"Bi Jin, you can also go and freshen up" Zhou Xiya took the handkerchief handed over by Jinxiu to wipe her sweat, and waved her hand to let Bi Jin go down, she is a good master to her subordinates.

"Miss, go back to the house to warm up, don't be blown by the wind," Jinxiu reminded.

"It's okay, I can endure such a cold weather at the border, what is this little wind and snow in the capital? A little bit of snow hid in the house, and I didn't have to make myself more and more squeamish," Zhou Xiya smiled as she moved her wrist.

"Miss, you are so beautiful, you should be pampered like a flower, not what you said, women have to learn to be good to themselves, if they are not good to themselves, who else are they counting on?" Jinxiu shook her head helplessly, probably because there were too many men around her, and the eldest lady had a boy's wildness.

"Okay, I'll learn and use it, it seems that you have learned all my words in your heart, look at how long it has been since you came back, our Jinxiu's skin has become delicate, and our Jinxiu is also a beautiful girl." Zhou Xiya deliberately touched Jinxiu's face and joked, Jinxiu's girl is good at everything, but she is a little nagging.

"Miss" splendid stomping in protest. She's for the sake of Miss.

"Okay, listen to you, I've really become a little housekeeper, see which man can stand you in the future, no, I want to find someone to marry you off quickly, so that my ears will be clear." Zhou Xiya joked.

"Miss, if you go too far, you will bully the slave maid," Jinxiu glared.

"Why, you're not married yet, then I'm doing evil, our splendid beauty is so good, of course we need a man to hurt, you're older than me, if you don't find someone else, you'll become an old girl." Zhou Xiya looked back at the splendid with a smile.

"The old girl is the old girl, I'm good alone" A trace of sadness flashed in Jinxiu's eyes, she knew her status, the person she admired, she would never look back to see her, that unseek-asked love can only be buried deep in her heart, as long as she knows that he has lived a long time and is content, she just wants to guard the young lady now, the eldest young master is not what she can look forward to.

"You haven't met someone who makes you tempted, if you meet the right one, you won't say that, I guess at that time I wish I would marry you out, there are also good people in the house, I will pick you from the inside, so that you don't have to marry far away, under my eyes, no matter who bullies you, I can call the shots for you, and be a housekeeper in the future, easy, more comfortable than outside, I saved your life back then, naturally I hope you live well." Zhou Xiya held Jinxiu's hand and persuaded.

Jinxiu nodded, I don't know if she really listened, and Zhou Xiya didn't force her.

At this time, Mama Li hurriedly ran over, her expression was a little panicked, "Miss, Miss, it's not good, it's not good, something happened." ”

"Something to say slowly, the sky hasn't fallen yet, let's go, let's go back to the house first." Zhou Xiya walked to the living room.

As a result, the tea handed over by Shiqin looked at Mama Li, during this time, she let Mama Li out, and asked her to inquire about some privacy of big families in the capital, some things in the house, Mama Li has inquired about it these days, Zhou Xiya wanted to know about things outside the house, but she didn't expect Mama Li to come back in a panic.

"Tell me, what's wrong?"

"Miss, the old slave went out to find those old sisters to go out to contact the relationship, but I didn't expect to hear a lot of rumors outside that were unfavorable to the eldest lady." Mama Li glanced at Zhou Xiya cautiously.

"My rumors? Hehe, how long have I been back, there are rumors about me, and it's still bad, it seems that I pulled out Bai's canine teeth before, which made her anxious, and she didn't dare to go against me in the house, so she wanted to use the rumors outside the house to hit me, let's talk about it, what do you say about me outside? Zhou Xiya put down the teacup and looked at Mama Li with a smile.

Mama Li looked at the eldest lady in wonder, why did the eldest lady still laugh at this time, you must know how much the girl's family cares about her reputation, if the reputation is not good, it will not be easy to find a good in-law in the future, the young lady has just come back, because of the identity of the master, how many eyes are watching, at this time the young lady has a bad reputation, it must be influential. She was afraid that the young lady would be in a hurry when she heard it, so she could only pick up what was not unpleasant.

"Outside it is said that Miss is arrogant and domineering, disrespectful, greedy for power, and snatches the housekeeping rights of the family as soon as she comes back, bullying her stepmother and sister and many unbearable remarks, all of which are attacking Miss, and it is rumored outside that Bai has been bullied by Miss and can't get out of bed and falls ill, and the second miss is even more sad all day long, and she dares to be angry with you." Mama Li hesitated, and said simply, lest the words outside pollute the ears of the young lady, and the words outside can't be heard.

The Bai family has relied on Zhou Jianxiong in the capital all these years, and he still has some status in the aristocratic circle, plus people are sympathetic to the weak, and the Bai family has been alone in the empty house for so many years, waiting for Zhou Jianxiong to come back, and he still won some sympathy.

"Hehe, okay, it's really good, it's hard for them to come up with this way to deal with me, rumors can indeed kill people, but they also look down on me Zhou Xiya too much, thinking that they want to subdue me with a few words from outsiders, how do I want them to spread those slanderous words to me, how to swallow them back for me." Zhou Xiya's phoenix eyes were slight, and her eyes were full of cold light.

"Miss, what good do you have, this rumor has spread, and it is not so easy to reverse." Mama Li was puzzled, when other little girls heard such news, they were not all frightened, for fear of affecting themselves in the future, why did the young lady look like a nobody.

"You say, if Bai and Zhou Xiwan appear in front of everyone now, and say good things about me in front of everyone, what will others think, and let people spread some political rumors outside, saying that I was attacked, just because of the malicious attack of my father's political opponents, making things bigger, and rising to the political level, the people below will not dare to say anything, as long as it involves my father's promotion, it will involve the emperor, women are interested in the shortcomings of their parents, and they will not be interested in these political struggles, so the rumors slowly passed, and the huge capital city, there is something new every day, and no one will hold on to me. The corners of Zhou Xiya's mouth curled, she is not a person who cares about fame, people live for fame, they will be very tired, if they don't associate with her because of her reputation, she is not worth caring about, but she also has to teach Bai's mother and daughter a lesson, let them be dumb and eat coptis, and they can't say anything about their suffering.

"Miss, will the Bai clan be obedient? She won't say anything, and the young lady won't be able to explain it clearly? Mama Li asked worriedly.

"She doesn't dare, I'm free to make her obedient, if she wants to calculate me, she also wants to see if I, Zhou Xiya, is so easy to provoke, Bai has nothing to do, then don't blame me for slapping my face." Zhou Xiya stood up and ordered directly, "Jinxiu, go get the brocade box on my desk, and follow me to Bai's for a turn." ”

"Yes," Splendid walked quickly to get it.
