After Yuan Shu finished the banquet, he took Jiao Weiqin and hurriedly embarked on the way home with his subordinates. Zhou Shang patted Zhou Yu on the shoulder, said "think twice about everything", and took Zhou Jue back to his home. Zhou Yu saw that the trouble was over, so he instructed Zhou An, "You go to Nanyang in person, and find out why Qiao Zhan must go once a quarter." ”

"Childe is asking the old slave to find a needle in a haystack?" Zhou An said, "Wanggongzi points to a clear path." ”

"Healer."

Zhou Yu pointed out indifferently, and Zhou An was ordered to go to Nanyang.

In the afternoon of the same day, in the stable of Qiao's family in Anhui County, Qiao Zhan was taking care of his mount in person according to his habit. He happened to look around, and suddenly saw a white horse extraordinary, so he asked the groom, "Where did this white horse come from?" How come I haven't seen it? ”

The groom glanced at the white horse and said, "This horse is called Shaker, and it was brought back by the second lady the day before yesterday." ”

For Qiao Zhan, who loves horses, he knows how much the shaker is worth.

The financial power of the Qiao family has always been in the hands of Qiao Yuan and his wife, and the three of them, Zhan, Ying, and Shuang, only have some pocket money on weekdays. Unless you go to the eldest brother to ask for money, with these pocket funds, you can't afford to buy Shao'er at all. Besides, the timing of the appearance of the shaker is so sensitive. In order to find out the truth, Qiao Zhan immediately went to Xiao Qiao's bedroom, found the little sister, and said, "Has Shuang'er been lacking in use recently?" ”

Xiao Qiao didn't know what it was, so he said truthfully: "There is no shortage." ”

"There is no shortage of money, and I must not have asked my eldest brother for money."

"You know, I rarely ask my eldest brother for money, and on the few occasions I still help you buy a horse."

"However, I haven't bought a shaker."

"Ah......h

Xiao Qiao was stunned for a moment, and Fang Hui responded: "I picked it up by me." ”

"Yes, I picked it up with Zhou Yu."

"The second brother already knows, so I don't have to be sophistry. As you might expect, he bought it and gave it to me. ”

Then, she took Qiao Zhan's hand again, her eyes revealing pleading, and said, "Second brother, this matter must not be known to others." ”

"This, the second brother needs to think about it for a moment."

Qiao Zhan deliberately joked, but she didn't want Xiao Qiao to buy it, she looked at Qiao Zhan and said, "Okay, you say go." ”

Qiao Zhan saw that his sister didn't accept the offer, so he joked again: "He is really good to you, a good horse worth 100 gold, he even said that he would give it away." According to the second brother, in the near future, Zhou Yu may have to give the entire family to you to take charge. ”

Xiao Qiao was a little embarrassed by this, so he lowered his head and said shyly: "What did the second brother say!" ”

"Okay, I'm not going to tease you. The second brother is gone. ”

In order to reassure his sister, before going out, Qiao Zhan deliberately looked back and said, "The second brother won't tell anyone about you and Zhou Yu." ”

Half a month later, Zhou An, who went to Nanyang to inquire about the news, finally returned to his home study with the secrets that the young master wanted. After listening to Zhou An's story, Zhou Yu only instructed "take care of the housekeeper's door for my good life", and then walked straight out of the study. He first went to the bedroom, took a bag of warm clothes, then went to the kitchen, took a food box, he went to the garden, picked a few bunches of grapes and put them in the food box, and then went straight to the stable, and rode out on the piao'er.

"Drive, drive......"

When he rode the piao'er and galloped on the wide streets of Shuxian, Zhou Jue, who was wandering on the street, suddenly recognized his cousin's figure at the moment of meeting. Zhou Jue saw that her cousin was in a hurry, so she immediately guessed his whereabouts, she returned home, explained the reason to her father, and took Sichuan Zi and rode a horse to Anhui County.

When Zhou Jue arrived in Anhui County, the sun had already set in the west for a long time.

"One shift, the weather is dry, be careful of the candle. One more, the weather is dry and dry, be careful of the fire candle ......"

From the mouth of the husband who played the watch, it can be seen that the time has come.

She went straight to the Feiran restaurant, first, to see if her cousin had settled there, and second, it was getting late, and she should find a place to stay.

In the restaurant, the person who received Zhou Jue was Deng Dang's wife Lu. The first thing Zhou Jue said to her was: "But there is a son surnamed Zhou who lives here?" ”

As soon as the words fell, Lu Shi smiled "hehe" and said: "The son surnamed Zhou who is staying here, not to mention ten, there are five. Anyway, I want to open their doors one by one so that the young lady can take a look. ”

Zhou Jue glanced away awkwardly and said, "That boy was seventeen years old, moderately fat and thin, and less than eight feet tall, so he should be staying tonight." ”

"It's him ......"

Lu Shi heard that the boy was Zhou Yu, but out of precaution, Lu Shi did not immediately take her to Zhou Yu, she asked, "Who is Miss?" What does it have to do with him? What did you come to him for? ”

In order to dispel Lu's doubts and achieve his goal, Zhou Jue had to explain: "My name is Zhou Jue, I am his cousin, and I have something important to look for him." Half a month ago, in your restaurant, I lived next door to him. The store is really a noble person. ”

After being reminded by Zhou Jue, the Lu family remembered the incident half a month ago, so he patted his head and said, "Damn, damn it, look at my memory, the check-in at that time was a middle-aged man who looked like a steward." ”

"Not bad."

Zhou Jue nodded and said, "Where is he staying now?" Is the next door empty? ”

"Miss, don't worry, wait for me to check."

Lu Shi spread out the bamboo slips, flipped through the check-in, and said, "He checked in an hour ago, in the 'Dudu' room, and the 'Caiwei' room next to it is still empty, can the young lady wish to stay in the 'Caiwei' room?" ”

"Hmm. Give me the menu for dinner. ”

Zhou Jue ordered a few favorite dishes, said "you have work", and went directly to the 'Picking Rose' room.

The next morning, at the right time, Zhou Jue had breakfast, and he heard a "squeak" outside the door. She opened the door and took a sneak look, and saw Zhou Yu carrying a food box and walking straight out of the restaurant. She didn't alarm Zhou Yu, but followed him from far and near, quietly monitoring his every move. She followed for a full quarter of an hour before she rested briefly under a tree near Qiao's house.

In front of Qiao's house, the doorman guarding the courtyard is still the same.

"I understand, leave it to the second lady."

Before Zhou Yu could speak, the doorman took the food box and ran into the house to hand it over.

A quarter of an hour later, Xiao Qiao finally appeared in front of Zhou Yu with heavy makeup. He saw that Xiao Qiao had lost a lot of weight, so he jokingly said: "I haven't seen you for a few days, the frost has become more and more symbolic, if you eat more and become more cute, it will be even more lovely." ”

"Can you take care of yourself before you care about me?"

Xiao Qiao Waner smiled, patted his bony chest, and said, "Look at yourself, you are almost thin, how do the servants at home take care of it!" ”

He grabbed Xiao Qiao's hand and said, "After all, a servant is an outsider, and he can't do everything, if he can be taken care of by a good wife, it will be much better." ”

"Let go, let go."

Xiao Qiao tried to break free of Zhou Yu's hand, but he held it tightly and couldn't move.

It happened that Da Qiao went out at this time, and she saw that her sister was being insulted by a man, so she rushed forward, pushed Zhou Yu away, and said, "Let go of my sister." ”

In the panic, she didn't even see Zhou Yu's appearance clearly.

"You rascal, don't go quickly."

Xiao Qiao immediately hugged her sister and didn't let her turn around.

"Don't let this prodigal son run away."

Da Qiao struggled and said, "Sister, what are you holding me for, let go quickly." ”

"I'm not leaving, I still have something to tell you. Frost, let go of your hands. ”

Zhou Yu stepped forward and pulled Xiao Qiao's hands away.

The moment Xiao Qiao let go of his hand, Da Qiao turned around directly, gave Zhou Yu a slap in the face, and said, "You rascal, who wants you to be a good person." ”

"How are you, does it hurt?"

Xiao Qiao stepped forward and checked Zhou Yu's condition.

"It's okay, my sister doesn't have a heavy hand."

Zhou Yu covered his flushed cheeks and said in pain.

When Da Qiao saw the person clearly, she couldn't help but say, "It's you!" Haven't you already been married, and you still came to my sister to do something? ”

"I ......"

As soon as Zhou Yu was about to speak, he heard a woman approaching beside him and said, "You woman, you dare to beat our Zhou family." ”

He turned his face to look, only to realize that Jue'er had followed here.

"That's her, haven't you already married her?" Da Qiao stretched out his hand and pointed at Zhou Jue's nose and said, "She just said 'our Zhou family', it's difficult, you are already married!" ”

"Gee, it's all about where and where. Sister, listen to me, her name is Zhou Jue, and she is Zhou Yu's cousin. ”

Little Joe explained.

Da Qiao sighed, "How can this be reasonable", and then turned to Zhou Jue and said, "Since you are his cousin, why did you deceive us that day?" ”

"Because the Zhou family doesn't want to have an affair with your Qiao family. Don't think I don't know, your Qiao family is bent on clinging to the official family. ”

Da Qiao ignored Zhou Jue, she just looked at Zhou Yu and said, "What about you, you mean the same thing?" ”

"Of course! The Qiao family is not worthy of marrying the Zhou family at all! Zhou Jue said preemptively.

At this point, Zhou Yu finally couldn't bear it anymore, he kept a straight face, and said loudly: "Jue'er, you are enough, is it that my cousin is too accustomed to you!" ”

Zhou Jue stretched out his hand and pointed at the Qiao sisters, with tears in his eyes, staring at Zhou Yu and saying, "You murdered me again, you actually murdered me for the second time for them!" ”

"Yes, I murdered you, I murdered you for them." Zhou Yu said.

"Humph!"

Zhou Jue held back tears, glanced at the Qiao sisters viciously, and left here.

"Go in and wait for me, and I'll be back in an hour." Big Joe said.

"Sister, don't embarrass him."

"Silly sister, sister is for your good. If you believe in your sister, bring her in first; If you don't believe your sister, big brother, you can do it yourself. ”

Xiao Qiao couldn't resist her sister, so she had to rush at Zhou Yu and said, "Shicai told you to go, if you don't go, you can't go now." ”

Zhou Yu said, "Sister won't harm us", and then pulled Xiao Qiao and walked into the door of Qiao's house.

The trail of the Qiao family, although it is not paved with rain flower stones like the Zhou family, can be regarded as exquisite. On the stone path to the bedroom, Xiao Qiao couldn't help but ask, "You are one year older than Qiao Ying, why do you call her sister?" ”

"Look at her kindly, and call her smoothly." Zhou Yu replied lightly.

"Really? She's right for you, but she doesn't have a good face at all. ”

"She doesn't have to be good to me, being good to you is good to me."

"If she dares to treat you badly, I won't follow it."

"Well, when my sister comes back, I'll be all on your fingers for protection."
