After Lang Jun went out, the house was often deserted, and there were two or three slaves and maids, but they were not the ones who spoke. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

In the past, there were still people from the mother's family, although the number was small, but they could also speak, and the words between women could not be remembered on what position they stood on, but it was a great comfort to be able to speak, and I still remember that at the beginning, the girls of the younger generation of the family often cried secretly in the middle of the night, worrying about their depressed future.

Zhou.

There is no future.

For today's Zhou people, a county is boundless, the ancestors are Yixing County people, and now they are still trapped in Yixing County, unable to escape, and do not want to escape, after all, in the huge country, Yixing Zhou's reputation, has already stinked, no matter where they go, they have to be careful to remain incognito, not as good as those homeless people, perhaps this is also the reason, the heart of resistance has long been dead, when Xu's protection, they rely on Xu's, when Zhang's protection, they rely on Zhang's.

Now in a dilapidated old house near the stream.

The Zhou woman sat quietly in the courtyard, and there was no one else except the maid who was silently serving tea and pouring water.

The sunlight spilled down from the sky, through the overlapping branches and leaves, the light and shadow were dappled, hitting the person, but it was also warm, making her feel a little soft, so she lazily lay on the soft couch, occasionally only took a sip of tea, ate some pastries, but most of the time, as if lazy and did not want to move, the eyes stared dullly in a certain direction, the gaze was scattered, as if she was wandering.

Ever since the Taoist named Ding Lunian was caught, she hasn't gone out much.

Maybe he thought it through, maybe he just obeyed Lang Jun's arrangement.

In short, the Zhou girl squinted her eyes and looked up, through the gaps between the leaves, she saw white clouds and a warm sun.

"Let me in, I'm looking for my sister."

There was a sudden commotion outside the courtyard, and the Zhou girl was awakened, looked at the maid next to her, and opened her mouth to say: "It seems to be safe, you go and see, if it is really him, let him stop making noise, just come in." ”

The servant girl went in response, and after a while, the noise outside was much quieter, until it subsided, and then, a pink-faced little man walked in, scolding the people behind him as he walked, so that even the servant girl was coaxed away by him, and after confirming that there was no one, he ran in with a smile on his face and sat on the seat next to Zhou's girl.

"Sister." Zhou Ping'an called.

The Zhou woman was unmoved, but asked with a little surprise: "Lang Jun secretly transferred you away, why did you run over again, if someone finds out, follow your path, our Zhou family will be miserable by you,"

"I ...... It wasn't me who wanted to come, but the head of the house asked me to come. Zhou Ping'an pursed his lips, reached out and picked up a pastry on the plate, put it in his mouth, and said while chewing, "He asked me to stay with my sister, saying that even if my brother-in-law doesn't like it, I can stay here if my sister intercedes......

"I won't let you stay." The Zhou woman immediately refuted, with a straight face, "Lang Jun is under so much pressure to send you away, and you are still messing up for the Zhou family to do this...... Rest for a while, and when the evening comes, I'll have someone send you back." ”

Zhou Ping'an's action of eating pastries stagnated, and the smiles piled up on his face gradually faded, and he was even a little pale, and his eyes were firmly fixed on Zhou's daughter, his nominal sister, who seemed to be a little hard to believe.

The light and shadow hit his face, even if he was handsome, now it seems that it is also a little terrifying.

After a while, he slowly asked, "Why?" ”

"No, why, you are here to make it difficult for Lang Jun." Zhou's daughter seemed to be stared at by him a little worriedly, and her eyes dodged.

"Tsk...... Sure enough, as the head of the family said, a woman who marries outside is not a member of the Zhou family, but so, sister, you no longer regard yourself as a member of the Zhou family? ”

"How is that possible? I am a member of the Zhou family. ”

"Really...... Then why is my sister in a hurry to send me back, don't you really know the real purpose of the head of the family to let me come over? The two were very close to each other, Zhou Ping'an approached as he spoke, and his tone was aggressive, "Since you pretend not to know, then I will tell you that between Zhang Jinjue and my Zhou family, only my sister is a bridge, if there is no sister, why should he protect my Zhou family's safety, so there is a sister here, my Zhou family should be fine, but the bad is bad, Wang Shuping found us, and from the point of view of Yixing Xu's extermination, it is very likely that he wants to get rid of us, in this way, the little Zhang Jinjue is naturally vulnerable, he has to make a choice, Whether he is important or Zhou's is important, the most difficult thing for him to choose is naturally his sister-"

"Ping An ......"

"My sister is towards the Zhou family, so Zhang Jinjue really dotes on his sister, and he may fight with Uncle Wang to break the net, but ...... If my sister is towards Zhang Jinjue, then my Zhou family is naturally dispensable, and now transferring us out seems to be good for us and wants to hide us, but in fact, isn't it equivalent to throwing us away! Zhou Ping'an grabbed the slender wrist of the Zhou girl hard, and the force was too great, leaving a blush on Hao's wrist, "So I want to come over and let Zhang Jinjue know that I want to abandon the Zhou family, whatever, but I am also a member of the Zhou family, unless I give up my own and take the initiative to tie me up and give it to Wang Shuping...... But this, this is what happened in front of my sister - sister, can you bear to watch me, your own brother, Zhou Ping'an, be caught by your husband and sent to the enemy, watch me be killed, and then you, just steal your life? ”

"Enough, don't say it!" Although it was a reprimand, Zhou's female voice weakened, as if she was powerless to resist, and it was useless, so she was once again drowned in Zhou Ping'an's gaze.

"Why don't you let me say it, it's because what I said is right, it's what you think in your heart, it's your plan with Zhang Jinjue, so you don't dare to let me say it, don't you?"

"No, I definitely didn't think of it that way." The Zhou girl bit her lip, her body trembling weakly, "I never thought of living secretly, it's just that Lang Jun's life is not easy now, he is a disciple of the Zhang family, but now he has fallen into the situation of living in such a dilapidated house, just imagine, just one me, is really qualified to let him fight for his life to guard the Zhou family?" ”

"Oh? So, even if I'm not all right, I'm partly right? Zhou Ping'an sneered.

The Zhou girl did not rush to answer this time, but lowered her head, as if she had lost all her strength, and nodded slowly after a while: "What you said is not entirely right, but there are also things that have been said, Lang Jun and I have no intention of abandoning the Zhou family until now, but Wang Shuping is not only the Taishou of Huiji County now, but is promoted to Yangzhou Mu, commanding the military of Yangzhou Prefecture, Lang Jun is not an opponent at all, so naturally he can only think of other ways." ”

"What is he going to do now?"

"Find his friends and discuss the way forward." Zhou's daughter said lightly, looked at Zhou Ping'an beside her, sighed, and said, "Forget it, I'm not in a hurry to force you to go back, since you're here, let's live here now." ”

Zhou Ping'an smiled at this time, picked up the pastry and ate it: "This is my own sister, when the head of the family gave you to Zhang Jinjue, didn't you just want to take advantage of the situation, you have to think clearly, don't fall into it." ”

"I know." The Zhou woman nodded blankly, "You go to your place to rest first, don't show up for the time being, I'll ask someone to bring you some food, and when Lang Jun comes back, I'll tell him, at least let you live here with me." ”

"Okay." Zhou Ping'an didn't think much about it, got up and walked out, there was a maid waiting outside, and before she could speak, she was held in his arms by him. Teased, while leaving.

Only the Zhou woman was left in the courtyard.

She slumped on the soft couch, and all that was left was a plaintive sigh.

……

Approaching noon, Zhang Lu's frame slowly entered the old house, and Zhou's daughter hurriedly went up to greet him.

"Lang Jun is back......

Zhang Lu, who got out of the car, glanced at her and smiled, his eyes seemed to be a little evasive, but his words were not slow: "Prepare more meals, cousin Zixu is also eating here today." ”

As he was talking, Zhang Xuanzhi also got off the ox cart, glanced at the Zhou girl casually, turned to the other side, and said, "Let's go to your study first, things must be discussed, and it's not too late to eat." ”

"Yes, it should be, only when it is solved can we be in the mood to eat," Zhang Lu said with a smile, waved his hand to let Zhou's daughter leave, and then took Zhang Xuanzhi to the study.

Zhou's daughter stared at the distant figures of the two, and she didn't know what to think, but Lang Jun asked her to leave, because she had Lang Jun's intentions, and it was not her intention to speculate too much, so she didn't care, turned around and told the back kitchen to cook more meals.

After some arrangements were made, she repulsed the people around her and slowly walked to Zhang Lu's study.

Celebrity Yashiduo likes to have a study room of his own, which is his private space, not to mention a slave, and even his wife and concubine can't go in on weekdays.

But Zhang Lu is obviously different, he is not good at literature and good at martial arts, the study does not play a big role for him, not to mention his own personality does not like to be alone, naturally he does not care about Zhou's daughter coming in, and even compared to the bedroom, it is more like a love nest for the two. In Zhang Lu's words, doing something elegant in front of some celebrities adds more flavor.

So, she's no stranger to this place.

Zhou's daughter stopped outside the courtyard study, did not rush to knock on the door, and even said that she stood in front of the door, always feeling a little flustered, after thinking about it, she quietly walked to the window and listened to the conversation inside.

“…… The people of the Zhou family were transferred late at night the day before yesterday, it was the eve of the wedding of the noble daughter of the Wang family, and Wang Shuping was busy with the marriage, so he had no intention of investigating here, so I transferred the people of the Zhou family to another more remote house, which was deep in the mountains and forests, and there was no one on weekdays, so I wanted to avoid Wang Shuping......"

This is Zhang Lu's voice.

Hearing this, Zhou's daughter was suddenly surprised, no wonder she saw Zhang Xuanzhi, she always felt a little strange, and now it seems that she really came for Zhou's family.

Zhang Xuanzhi's voice also came out: "The matter of the Zhou family, don't let the rest of the family know, in this way, to deal with Wang Shuping, there are only you and me, but obviously, we are not his opponents, whether it is strategy or ruthlessness, all of them are inferior to Wang Shuping, so it is obviously impossible to leave the people of the Zhou family hard." ”

Zhou's daughter bit her lip and didn't speak for a long time.

“…… It is not necessary to hand over the people of the Zhou family, we try to deal with Wang Shuping as much as possible, but the bad plan must always be done, once Wang Shuping really wants to start, decisively throw the people of the Zhou family, you and I have nothing to blame, do you still have to learn from Xu Zhen, for the sake of just one Zhou, the whole family will be slaughtered by Wang Shuping? Zhang Xuanzhi continued.

"But how to do it, obviously the Zhou family is blessed by me, even if the Zhou family is handed over, Wang Shuping is implicated in me, I ......"

"Haven't the people of the Zhou clan been expelled by you, so how does it have to do with you?"

"Tolerant ......"

Zhang Lu said a name, and the situation inside was not clear to the Zhou girl, but the corners of her eyes were moist for a while, and she hurriedly wiped away her tears with a handkerchief, and she evoked a smile.

Lang Jun, you really love me.

"Is that your little concubine? What's the worry about, since she is your concubine, then since she is a person from my Zhang family, how can she be counted as a person from the Zhou family...... What's more, Wang Shuping's sister-in-law, what happened to Wang He's family, you should have heard about it, Wang Shuping's approach obviously means that Wang He's is Wang's person, not He's person. Then apply it to your concubine, and the same is true. ”

“……”

The two people in the study were still talking, but when they heard this, Zhou's daughter couldn't listen anymore, she left cautiously, sat on the stone platform in the courtyard, and quietly stared at the kapok tree in the courtyard.

The bleak kapok tree is no longer beautiful, shaking weakly in the autumn sun, and occasionally one or two leaves fall, fluttering and rootless, as if it were a little self.

However, the leaves fall back to their roots, and they can finally find their home again.

Her eyes were fixed on the fallen leaves, as they fell to the ground, motionless, as if they had found some other support than the trunk of the tree.

Zhou, Ping'an, Lang Jun, Zhang Xuanzhi...... One by one, figures appeared in her mind, and for a moment, she seemed to be wandering out of the world.

"Zhou has to be connected with me to be safe."

"Even if Lang Jun abandons the Zhou family, he must keep me safe."

"The Zhou family gave birth to me and raised me, but Lang Jun relied on me."

"I don't have a choice."

……

The door to the study was opened, and two men stepped out of it.

Zhang Lu was a little surprised to see the Zhou girl in the courtyard, but he looked much more relaxed, and after Zhang Xuanzhi walked out first, he walked to the concubine: "Why are you sitting here?" ”

"The meal is ready, and I want to ask Lang Jun to eat, but Lang Jun and my cousin don't seem to have discussed it yet, so I'll sit here and wait." Zhou's daughter said, her beautiful eyes looked at Lang Jun in front of her, full of tenderness.

"Yourong......" Zhang Lu frowned and held her in his arms, "Is there anything wrong with you?" ”

Zhou's daughter smiled slightly and nodded.

"Ping An came to me and said that he couldn't get used to eating over there, so I thought about preparing some good materials for him, and then tonight, I will accompany him."

"Lang Jun, is it okay?" (To be continued.) )
