Chapter 44: Liu's Worries

However, he said that after Zhou Ben participated in the collegiate meeting, because there were still things to deal with in the barracks, he hurried to the barracks and was busy until the evening before returning to his house. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

At this time, their family had dinner together, and his two sons, Zhou Ye and Zhou Hongzuo, returned to their own rooms, and only their daughter Zhou Mengjie stayed to chat with him and his wife.

Zhou Mengjie obediently served him tea, sat beside him with a smile and asked, "Father, Deputy Envoy Li sent someone to summon my father to the Jiedu Embassy early this morning, I don't know what the hell is going on, I need to be so urgent?" ”

Zhou Ben regards his daughter more seriously than his two sons. His eldest son, Zhou Ye, was eighteen years old at this time, very brave, very interested in military affairs, and was now helping him with his work, and perhaps it would not be long before he officially obtained his military position; As for the second son, Zhou Hongzuo, he is still young and can't see anything.

It's this daughter, he usually loves him in every way, and he hasn't said a word heavy. Hearing her ask at this time, Zhou Ben said with a smile: "Aren't you not interested in the official affairs of the Jiedu Embassy on weekdays?" Why did you take the initiative to sound today? ”

Zhou Mengjie's face was a little unnatural, since the last time she dreamed of marrying Yang Wu, she had unconsciously stored her mind in her heart, and always wanted to ask about him.

"Father, isn't it okay for your daughter to care about you? The father went out early this morning and only came back now, so the daughter can rest assured. She grabbed Zhou Ben's arm and said coquettishly.

Zhou Ben said with a smile: "Yes, of course." Actually, it's nothing, but the eldest son of the king met an assassin in the mansion last night, so ......"

Before he finished speaking, Zhou Mengjie said, "Ah! He exclaimed, and hurriedly asked, "Is my father talking about Yang Wu?" How is he now? Are there any injuries? ”

Zhou Ben looked at her a little strangely, "Is the eldest son injured, why are you in such a hurry?" ”

Zhou Mengjie was shocked to realize that her reaction was a little excessive, she quickly cleaned up her mood, and asked in a relatively calm tone, "Is my daughter curious?" Father, what happened to that Yang Wu? Her big beautiful eyes stared at Zhou Ben tightly, but a trace of anxiety flashed in her eyes.

Zhou Ben said: "Haha, the good daughter won't be the eldest son, right?" You can rest assured, he is fine, not even a single hair has been hurt. ”

Zhou Mengjie relieved her heart at this time, her face turned red, and she took a sip and said, "Father is talking nonsense, who will take a fancy to that guy!" Moreover, what do I have to worry about, it's good that guy is dead! ”

Zhou Ben is a martial artist with a rough mind, where did he notice the change in his daughter, but said with a smile: "Okay, good, it's all my father's nonsense, hehe." ”

The children were around their knees, happy and happy, Zhou Ben felt the coquettishness of his daughter and didn't notice her thoughts, but his wife, that is, Zhou Mengjie's biological mother Liu, saw the difference on the side.

"The daughter used to be unapologetic to young men, and she had a lot of dealings with her brother and brother; Is it really just curiosity that tonight is so abnormal and so concerned about King Wu's eldest son? It won't be ......," she secretly thought to herself.

She also came from girlhood, and she was naturally very familiar with the appearance of the girl's Huaichun, when her parents told her that she had prepared a marriage for her, she was so curious at that time, and asked about her future husband in every way, just thinking about knowing a little more news.

Liu was secretly shocked in her heart, she didn't know much about the things outside, but she also knew that the identity of King Wu's eldest son was too unusual, if she married her daughter to him, would it affect her family? In addition, whether the daughter already has a personal relationship with Yang Wu, or whether the daughter's unilateral thoughts need to be verified.

"It seems that the only way to do this is to send someone to ask first, and then discuss it when the situation is clear." Liu thought to himself.

Zhou Mengjie didn't know that her mind had been seen by her mother, and she was nervously listening to her father tell what happened last night and the scene of today's collegiate discussion.

When she heard that Yang Wu's maid was injured in order to save him, she was grateful, and said again and again, "Fortunately, there are loyal maids, and they should be rewarded"; When she heard that Zhang Hao's dereliction of duty caused the assassination last night, she repeatedly said that she would severely punish this person; Finally, when she heard that all the generals were mainly punishing Zhang Hao, she smiled......

After getting the news she wanted, Zhou Mengjie left satisfied.

After she left, Liu hurriedly drove the people out of the room, and then told Zhou Ben what he had just seen and thought with a serious face.

"And this kind of thing?" Zhou Ben looked surprised, he remembered his daughter's reaction just now, it was indeed very abnormal, and now after listening to his wife's speculation, he immediately believed it.

He lowered his head and pondered, "I, Zhou Ben, am loyal to the king, and the eldest son is also a good person, he looks like a talent, and he will definitely become a festival envoy in the future, so it would be good if he married his daughter to him." I just don't know what the attitude of the eldest son and the king is. ”

Thinking of this, Zhou Ben said solemnly, "My Zhou family has always been loyal to the king, if I can become a family with the king, it will be the honor of my Zhou family." But the key is what is the attitude of the eldest son, if he has no intention of Jie'er, we can't put it upside down, my Zhou family can't afford to lose this face. ”

Liu Shi listened to his statement, and then said, "Since this is the case, then call Jie'er's maid Ping'er over and ask." ”

"Well, but it's up to you to ask about it, so I'll avoid it for now." It may involve his daughter's privacy when he asks later, so Zhou Ben hid behind the screen first.

Soon Ping'er came over, and Liu began to ask.

"Ping'er, how many years have you been in my Zhou family?"

"Mrs. Hui, the slave maid entered the house at the age of six, and it has been eight years now."

"Well, how has my Zhou family treated you in the past eight years?"

Ping'er hurriedly knelt down and thanked her, "Madame is as kind to the slave and maid as a mountain, without Madame taking care of her, the slave and maid would have starved to death on the street." ”

"It's good that you know to be grateful, but Jie'er has a personal affair outside now, why don't you come to report me?" Liu Shi said warmly at first, but when he reached this sentence, he suddenly asked sharply.

Ping'er was taken aback, and kowtowed again and again, "Madam is wronged, the girl has no personal affairs outside, does the slave dare to spread rumors and make trouble?" ”

Liu stared at her deadly, seeing that although she was very scared, her eyes were very firm, and she couldn't help but slow down her tone and said, "In this case, what is the matter with Jie'er and the eldest son of the king, you reply to me truthfully!" ”

Ping'er was stunned for a moment, it turned out that Yang Wu's matter had been posted, but Yang Wu and Zhou Mengjie were not in a personal relationship, at most they could only be regarded as a little interesting. At that moment, she didn't dare to hide it, and told Liu what happened at the door of Shunxinglong that day, and talked about meeting Yang Wu again at Yang Jing's place that afternoon.

As for the scene when Yang Wu saw Zhou Mengjie wearing only close-fitting clothes in Yang Jing's boudoir, Ping'er didn't know it, so naturally he couldn't tell Liu.
