Seeing the carriage coming slowly, Zheng Jing and Xu Shenzhong, who were already about to leave, also stopped, turned their heads to look at Zhou Chong, and found that Zhou Chong was also confused, and he didn't know who the owner of the car was?

As the carriage approached, you can see that the driver is a very burly man, with eyebrows and eyes, and there is no hair on his bright head, he looks like a monk, but there is no scar, but there is a hideous knife wound from the top of his head to the right cheek, which looks extremely vicious, although the other party is sitting in the car, but according to Zhou Zhong's estimate, the other party's height is likely to exceed two meters, and he can go to the NBA in the future, and he is not weaker than those blacks in the block.

Suddenly seeing such a fierce man, Zheng Jing and Xu Shenzhong were both shocked, they are ordinary scholars, and it is rare to encounter such a fierce character, and they also feel a very uncomfortable aura from each other, and even have an urge to turn around and run away.

Zhou Zhong was also stunned when he saw the other party, and then his eyes narrowed and looked at each other, from the bald man who was driving, he felt a very familiar dangerous atmosphere, in his previous life, he often dealt with all kinds of people, and those who could give him this dangerous feeling were all bloody guys with blood on their hands. It can be seen that the other party is definitely not a good person, and he has at least a few lives in his hands. This also made Zhou Zhong more curious about the people in the carriage, what kind of character can drive such a fierce man to drive for himself?

The carriage quickly stopped in front of the gate of the Zhou Mansion, and the bald man who drove jumped out of the car, and then stood respectfully aside, and then a delicate little maid opened the car door, put a stool for the bald man to put away, and he came down first to serve on the side, at this time Zhou Zhong felt that the little maid coming down from the carriage was familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it?

The curtain of the carriage was opened, and a beautiful girl in a fiery red fox fur coat stepped out of the car, and when Zhou Zhong saw this girl, he couldn't help but be stunned, because this girl was Xie Lingyun he had seen in Fengyou Teahouse, when the other party walked with the second young master of the Song family, and also helped the other party ridicule himself a few words.

Zheng Jing next to him showed a little surprise when he saw Xie Lingyun, as a famous scholar in Songjiang Mansion, he had naturally seen this very famous Miss Xie, but he didn't expect that Xie Lingyun would come to find Zhou Chong? When Xu Shenzhong, who was beside Zheng Jing, saw Xie Lingyun, he showed a somewhat strange look, as if he was thinking about something?

When Xie Lingyun saw Zhou Chong in front of the mansion, she first showed an elegant smile at him, and then looked at Zheng Jing and Xu Shenzhong, but when her eyes met Xu Shenzhong's gaze, she was stunned for a moment, and then a surprised smile appeared on her face and said, "Cousin Shenzhong, why are you here?" ”

"You...... You're Lingyun's cousin! Xu Shenzhong finally recognized the girl in front of him at this time, and also exclaimed with surprise on his face.

"Naturally it's me, cousin, aren't you studying in Suzhou, when did you come to Songjiang, why don't you go to see me and my mother?" Seeing her cousin, Xie Lingyun could no longer maintain her usual indifferent appearance, revealing a rare little daughter posture.

Xu Shenzhong's mother and Xie Lingyun's mother are sisters, and the two are cousins. Xu Shenzhong is ten years older than her, and she has no brothers and sisters since she was a child, so when she was a child, Xie Lingyun liked to play with Xu Shenzhong the most.

"I just arrived in Songjiang two days ago, and I haven't come to see you and my aunt yet, I just heard about Wenda and his Journey to the West from my father, and you also know my temperament, so I couldn't wait to visit, but I didn't expect to meet you here." Xu Shenzhong was also very happy, he hadn't seen her for five or six years, and the little girl who followed behind her, with a snot on her face and a brother, had grown into a slim beauty, which made him a little surprised.

Xie Lingyun naturally knows this cousin's temperament very well, and has loved books since he was a child, especially interested in those legends, which is very similar to his teacher Mr. Zhishan, so after hearing this, he didn't blame his cousin for reuniting after a long absence, but mainly asked Xu Shenzhong's mother, that is, her aunt's health? How have these years been?

Finally waited for their cousins to catch up with each other, Xu Shenzhong pulled Zheng Jing and Zhou Chong and wanted to introduce them to each other, but he didn't expect Zhou Chong to step forward and smile lightly: "It turns out that Miss Lingyun and Brother Shen are cousins, it seems that this world is really small!" ”

Hearing Zhou Chong's words, Zheng Jing laughed secretly in his heart, he had also heard about the conflict between Zhou Chong and the Song family in the teahouse, it was said that Miss Xie was with the second son of the Song family in front of him, but now the other party came to find Zhou Chong in person, which is very intriguing. But Xu Shenzhong was a little surprised and asked, "What, Wenda, do you know Cousin Lingyun?" ”

Before Zhou Zhong could answer, Xie Lingyun, who was excited, returned to his original calm appearance, and then showed a smile with a different meaning and said: "Some time ago, I met Zhou Gongzi in the teahouse, and I deeply felt that Zhou Gongzi was talented and could not be done by ordinary people, so I specially wanted to invite him to tea, but unfortunately I was rushed to pay the bill by others, which is really regrettable." ”

When Xie Lingyun said the sentence 'can be what ordinary people can't', she particularly accentuated her tone, and her eyes also looked at Zhou Zhong deeply, ordinary people are indeed not so shameless, and they actually use that kind of means to trap others.

Zheng Jing understood the inside story, and almost laughed out loud after hearing it, but Zhou Zhong glared at Xie Lingyun with some embarrassment. Xu Shenzhong had just arrived in Songjiang, and he hadn't heard of anything before, but when he heard Xie Lingyun's words, he believed it, and said with a smile: "I see, Wenda is indeed talented, just this Journey to the West is not something that ordinary people can write, cousin, you can get acquainted with Wenda, it can be regarded as fate!" ”

When Xu Shenzhong said this, he looked at Zhou Zhong and Xie Lingyun meaningfully, the two of them are of the same age, and one is unmarried, the other is unmarried, and the two of them are quite talented, which makes Xu Shenzhong more and more satisfied, if he can let his cousin marry the talented Zhou Chong, wouldn't it be a beautiful thing? It's a pity that he didn't know that Zhou Chong had already been engaged, and the relationship between the two was not friendly.

Feeling the deep meaning in his cousin's gaze, Xie Lingyun blushed, but he didn't rush to explain, but put a strand of hair behind his ear, and then said: "How can I have a cousin, you are leisurely, this time my little sister came to visit Zhou Gongzi, mainly because of something important to discuss with him, but I don't know if Zhou Gongzi is free?" ”

When she said the last sentence, Xie Lingyun looked at Zhou Zhong with a smile, and her eyes were a little inquiring. Zhou Zhong didn't have a good impression of this very city-rich Miss Xie, and wanted to refuse, but now that Xu Shenzhong is next to him, the so-called not looking at the face of the monk and looking at the face of the Buddha, even if it is for the sake of Xu Shenzhong's face, it is not easy for him to refuse.

Thinking of this, Zhou Zhong had no choice but to show a smirk: "Miss Xie can deign to come, it is really an honor for our Zhou Mansion!" ”

Xu Shenzhong and Zheng Jing are also interested people, seeing that Xie Lingyun has something to find Zhou Chong, and it is not early now, so Xu Shenzhong first made an appointment with Xie Lingyun, and then he will visit Xie Mansion, and then the two of them will say goodbye to Zhou Chong.

Seeing Zheng Jing and Xu Shenzhong's carriage slowly leaving, the smile on Zhou Chong's face slowly converged, turned around and looked at Xie Lingyun beside him, and said in a flat tone: "Miss Xie is here today, I don't know what you are doing?" ”

Seeing Zhou Chong's expression change so quickly, Xie Lingyun looked at Zhou Chong seriously with interest, and then showed a charming smile and said, "The weather is so cold, Zhou Gongzi, are you so ruthless, let the slave family negotiate with you in this cold wind?" ”

Zhou Chong was also a little helpless after hearing this, no matter how much he didn't welcome the other party, but the etiquette could not be wasted, so he had to turn around and ask Xie Lingyun to go in, the bald man and the little maid abacus parked the carriage and followed them into the mansion.

In order to repay his debts, Zhou Zhong sold out all the valuable things in the Zhou Mansion, such as rockeries, antiques, furniture, etc., and the decorative items in the yard were not let go, such as some of the more valuable flowers and trees planted in the front yard, and even the stone carved animal horns on the roof, all of which were sold out.

When Xie Lingyun entered the courtyard of the Zhou Mansion, he saw such a scene, the big pits on both sides of the road were connected to the small pits, the four corners of the roof were empty, and there was not a single servant in the whole courtyard, especially now that it was approaching dusk, the sunset was obliquely shining, which added a touch of sadness to the entire Zhou Mansion.

Xie Lingyun had come to the Zhou Mansion with his father several times before, but now seeing the prosperous Zhou Mansion fall into such a situation, he couldn't help but feel a little more lonely in his heart, and he also had a little more sympathy in his eyes when he looked at Zhou Chong.

A few days ago, there was an endless stream of guests from the Zhou Mansion, but the front courtyard hall was empty, and there was not even a chair to sit on. Fortunately, these days, Steward Xu's income from storytelling has increased greatly, and a few dollars of silver come in every day, so Zhou Chong cleaned up a warm pavilion next to the living room, and then bought a few sets of tables, chairs and stoves for meeting guests, and he was here to entertain Zheng Jing and Xu Shenzhong just now.

When Zhou Chong took Xie Lingyun into the warm pavilion, Steward Xu had already cleaned up the drinking table and was working hard to wipe the table, when he saw Xie Lingyun behind Zhou Chong, he was startled, he never thought that his young master would walk with this Miss Xie who had a conflict with them?

After the guest sat down, Zhou Zhong looked at Xie Lingyun and said, "Okay, Miss Xie has something important, now you can always talk about it, right?" ”
