Chapter 21: Brotherly Differences

"I owe you a personal favor." Sun Simiao was grateful.

Zhou Jinyan said: "Master Sun owes me two favors. ”

"A lot of debts doesn't oppress people," Sun Simiao waved his hand casually, "It's okay as much as you want." ”

After eating and playing at Cai Guogong's Mansion at noon, Zhou Jinyan was about to leave, when he saw Du He running over in a hurry.

"Zhou Lang, Zhou Lang."

Zhou Jinyan turned his head and said with a smile: "What else is the matter with Du Erlang?" ”

"Here's for you!" Du He handed him a wooden box in his hand and said solemnly: "It is a favor from our Du family to Zhou Lang." ”

Zhou Jinyan frowned, and pushed back: "I treat Du Gong as an order, Du Erlang doesn't need to do this!" ”

Sun Simiao on the side pursed his lips and pretended not to see it.

When Du He was at the banquet, he also knew that Sun Simiao was Sun Shenyi, since what he said, was it still false?

Today in front of others, saying that Zhou Jinyan was the first, Du He was embarrassed to see him, pushed back, turned his head and said: "Zhou Lang must be subordinate, otherwise I will be uneasy." ”

As he spoke, he hurriedly turned around and left.

Zhou Jinyan pretended to chase a few steps, and Sun Simiao grabbed him.

"Come on, everyone is far away, what are you chasing?"

Zhou Jinyan said with a straight face: "Master Sun, face is to be given to each other, if you are like this, just wait for the next time I dismantle your platform." ”

Sun Simiao pursed his lips and pulled him outside, "Except in front of you, I'm really not afraid of anyone demolishing the stage, the old man is a real strength." ”

Zhou Jinyan was pulled out of Cai Guogong by him. I couldn't wait to open the wooden box.

Sun Simiao probed and said: "Just went out, this is not pretending?" ”

"You don't understand," Zhou Jinyan said without raising his head: "I don't call it pretending, but acting for people." ”

The box was opened, and Zhou Jinyan took out the two house deeds inside, and he was suspicious for a while.

"How will this Duhe know that I need a shop? Two were returned. Zhou Jinyan turned his head and said, "Did you say that?" ”

"That's right," Sun Simiao said: "I don't say that you will have to say it sooner or later, it's just two shops, and it will be difficult for you." ”

"Thank you," Zhou Jinyan was not polite, put the box in his arms, and said with a smile: "Du He is really a wonderful person, he actually gave me two shops in Anyi Fang." ”

"This kid is really good," Sun Simiao said: "These two shops are not something that can be bought if you want to, but compared to his family's wealth, they are just a hair on the cow." ”

Zhou Jinyan put his hands behind his back and said leisurely: "This is called a dime." ”

"Nothing?" Sun Simiao caught up with him, "What's the hell, where did your allusion come from?" ”

......

Back at home, what made Zhou Jinyan happy was that the second brother Zhou Daowu actually came back.

He accepted Zhou Shaofan as his father, and naturally accepted Zhou Daowu as his second brother.

He was accompanied by Li Mengjiang, the princess of Linchuan.

"Big brother."

Zhou Daowu saw him coming back, greeted him, and said with a smile: "I found it difficult to get out of the palace, and I found that you were not there, where did you go?" ”

"Treat Du Gong," Zhou Jinyan patted him on the shoulder, and greeted Princess Linchuan on the side: "The princess came with my second brother?" ”

Li Mengjiang's face turned red, and then he glared at him and said, "Don't play tricks, we have bad news to tell you this time." ”

This Li Mengjiang has a lot of charm and strength to disperse outward, Zhou Jinyan secretly praised it in his heart, no wonder he can make the second brother like this.

"Come in and sit."

The three of them entered the hall, and Zhou Jinyan sat down and said, "What bad news, do you still need to tell me?" ”

Li Mengjiang fell silent.

Zhou Jinyan couldn't help but look at Zhou Daowu, "Second brother, what's going on?" ”

Zhou Daowu's face changed again and again, sighed, and said, "Big brother, I'm afraid that I will say this, you don't like to hear it." ”

"Something to say," Zhou Jinyan knocked on the table, "My own brother, what is my mother-in-law doing?" ”

Li Mengjiang said: "Actually, we came here this time with the emperor's order. ”

Seeing the solemn faces of the two, Zhou Jinyan couldn't help but feel uneasy, "What imperial order?" ”

Li Mengjiang looked at him deeply, and lowered his little head.

"You say." He looked at his second brother.

Zhou Daowu hesitated: "Big brother, can you give up Changle?" ”

Seeing that his face was ugly, Zhou Dao hurriedly said: "You can marry another princess, you can choose." ”

"Emperor's order, whose words?" A figure faintly appeared in his heart.

"It was my mother who said that." Li Mengjiang raised his head, "Brother Zhou, are you willing to give up the fifth sister?" ”

Zhou Jinyan closed his eyes and was silent, his fingers on the wooden table, tapping one by one.

The sound in his ears made Zhou Daowu upset.

He couldn't help but say: "Big brother, I know it's very difficult for you to give up Changle, but there are a lot of involved here, and the queen said that she won't let Changle marry you." Why do you bother...... And this is also a difficult thing for my father, and it is also ....... for our Zhou Mansion."

Zhou Jinyan raised his head slowly, with a hint of blood red in his eyes.

"Big brother." Zhou Daowu's heart trembled slightly, and he couldn't help but shout.

"Changle is replaced by her, I am replaced by you, my good second brother, what will you do?" Zhou Jinyan said slowly.

"Big brother!"

Zhou Daowu's shame had not yet dissipated, but when he heard the words, he was like cold water pouring on his body, and he was completely cold.

"What does this have to do with me?" Li Meng Jiangjiao snorted, "I didn't say that I like your second brother, and what choice he makes has nothing to do with me." ”

Zhou Jinyan ignored her, just stared at Zhou Daowu.

"I... I.." Zhou Daowu stammered, not knowing what to say.

Li Mengjiang pursed his lips and twisted his head to the side.

"Linchuan, can you go out for a while?" Zhou Daowu didn't dare to look at her eyes, "I have something to say to my eldest brother." ”

"What can't you say to my face?" Li Mengjiang frowned, "Sneaky." ”

Having said that, she walked out anyway.

"Big brother!" As soon as Li Mengjiang walked out, Zhou Daowu's voice became louder, and he blushed and roared: "You are really my good big brother, you say this, in front of her, how do you let me choose?" ”

Zhou Jinyan said lightly: "If you like her, you should know how to choose." ”

"But you know how much is involved?"

Zhou Daowu blushed, "If you insist on going your own way, you will not only offend the eldest grandson's faction, but also offend the emperor and queen, what impact will this have on our Zhou family and father, do you know?" ”

Zhou Jinyan's tapping fingers stopped, "Tell me, what should you do?" ”

"It's me, I don't have a choice," Zhou Daowu's eyes widened, almost hysterical, "For the sake of the Zhou family, I am willing to sacrifice everything, what is a princess?" ”

"I see, you can go back." Zhou Jinyan's face was calm from beginning to end.

Zhou Daowu gasped, "So, big brother, do you agree?" ”
