Chapter 358: The Alliance
Zhou Zechen looked at her and didn't speak, but his eyes became more and more calm and indifferent.
Zhou Yueqin smiled again, "Sixth brother, you are really too worried." Younger sister...... I'm about to leave the Zhou family soon. In the future, these grievances and grievances have nothing to do with the little sister. ”
"You want to go?" Zhou Zechen frowned slightly, "Yueqin, you can't go, you know your grandfather's methods......"
"I know. Zhou Yueqin interrupted him with a smile, "That's why I found Miss An." Sixth brother, Miss An and I are natural allies. So, you don't have to worry. ”
"......" Zhou Zechen looked at her coldly, not knowing what he was thinking.
Zhou Yueqin laughed again.
"Sixth brother," after laughing, she sighed and said with a slight amazement, "Didn't you notice that after returning to Beijing this time, you have really changed a lot." It's just that you, I'm afraid, don't bother to talk to us. But right now, Sixth Brother, are you ...... now It's a lot more. ”
Zhou Zechen nodded calmly, "The situation is changing, the world is changing, no one can stay the same, so I have to force myself to change ......"
"yes. Zhou Yueqin nodded sympathetically, "So, little sister, I have no choice but to change...... "At least, it is completely different from the self in the previous life and the self who just woke up......
Now Zhou Yueqin, where are those ambitions, those ...... Unrealistic fantasies.
Now, she just wants to live up to the second half of her life in peace and joy, and live up to God's grace to let her be reborn for a lifetime.
Zhou Yueqin looked up at her brother, "Sixth brother, maybe we're all getting too late." If...... Can it be ...... earlier? Maybe, we will be very good brothers and sisters......" After saying that, Zhou Yueqin's eyes were faintly misty.
Looking at his sister, who seemed to be showing her true feelings, Zhou Zechen was still very calm and indifferent.
"It's not late. He said expressionlessly, "Yueqin, although we can't be good brothers and sisters, we can still be trusted allies of each other. Yueqin, there are so many sisters in the family, and there are many grandchildren. But grandfather took a fancy to you and sent you to northern Xinjiang. I thought, it's not for nothing, is it?"
When Zhou Yueqin heard this, she sighed and put away the water vapor in her eyes.
"Sixth brother, what you said is good. It's the little sister who wants to diverge......" She smiled, with a hint of self-deprecation, and asked softly, "Sixth brother, what do you want to know?"
When Zhou Zechen heard this, his heart moved, and he was about to ask carefully, but the voice of the old housekeeper of the Zhou Mansion came from outside the courtyard gate.
"Childe, the head of the family, please come over. ”
When the brother and sister heard this, they couldn't help but glance at each other.
It's all this time, why did my grandfather invite him over again?
Could it be that something big has happened?
"Sixth brother," Zhou Yueqin said in a condensed voice, "You go to your grandfather's side first, so as not to make your grandfather think too much." As for your courtyard, let my little sister guard it for you for the time being. Around, we still have some time to ......"
"It's fine. Zhou Zechen nodded, "Yueqin, I'll go see my grandfather first." As for these subordinates in the yard, Yueqin, you have lived in the backyard since you were a child, and you should know their details better than me...... Now, there is work. ”
After speaking, Zhou Zechen turned around and strode away.
Zhou Yueqin looked at his back as he left, and smiled self-deprecatingly.
It seems that her sixth brother really trusts herself now!
In this way, it is not good for her to sit idly by, so she has to use one or two means to clean up the backyard for this good brother.
In the inky night, Zhou Yueqin smiled very intriguingly.
Well, let yourself show your grandfather how he is a housekeeper before leaving!
......
"Grandfather," Zhou Zechen pushed open the door of the study, looked at the old man with his back to him, and saluted respectfully, "It's so late, you haven't rested yet?"
"Chen'er, you're here. Zhou Xingxing turned around and smiled, "Don't be polite, sit down." ”
Zhou Xingxing didn't sit down, so Zhou Zechen naturally didn't dare to sit.
"Grandfather," he took a few steps forward, walked behind Zhou Xingxing, frowned and asked, "But what's wrong?"
Zhou Xingxing nodded, "It's not a big deal, it's just ...... It's just a little interesting. ”
Speaking of this, Zhou Xingxing smiled incomprehensibly, and then said, "The palace has prepared a marriage will for the Yuwen family, and Yuwen Ling'er has been assigned to the third prince to His Royal Highness the king!"
After Zhou Zechen heard this, he really frowned.
"Did Yu Wenzhao take the initiative to ask for it, or was it the emperor's ......?" he asked.
Zhou Xingxing smiled again and said meaningfully, "Yuwenzhao entered the palace tonight, and he did take the initiative to ask for a marriage for his daughter, but the object was not the third prince Chengwang, but Zhang Ping from the Tongzhou camp on the outskirts of Beijing. ”
"Then why did the emperor ......?" Zhou Zechen became more and more incomprehensible.
Could it be that the Son of Heaven on the dragon chair, at this time, still has to take the initiative to provoke the gate valves of the major families?
This is not like the emperor's usual style......
Zhou Zechen shook his head secretly.
Zhou Xingxing smiled again, "Chen'er, that Zhang Ping is also your former classmate, right?
When Zhou Zechen heard this, his heart tightened.
Ask Zhang Ping?
Grandfather was afraid that he was testing himself again.
Zhou Zechen sighed silently.
Once upon a time, a grandfather who trusted him would also test his own grandson so quietly?
"Grandfather," Zhou Zechen raised his head and said expressionlessly, "Grandson thinks that the key to this matter is not Zhang Ping's attitude, but the girl's attitude......"
Hearing this, Zhou Xingxing really smiled.
"That's a good point. He turned around and patted his grandson on the shoulder, and said with a loving face, "Chen'er, you have really grown." In this case, then grandfather will not hide it from you, and now, the emperor's decree on marriage has not yet been issued, but the news has come out from the cabinet early. Tell me, why?"
Zhou Zechen frowned slightly.
"Grandfather, do you mean to say...... The emperor asked the cabinet to draw up a decree, but at this hour, all the cabinet elders were resting, and this decree could not be issued until tomorrow morning. But this night, it is impossible for the Yuwen family to do nothing......"
Speaking of this, Zhou Zechen immediately reacted.
"Grandfather, what does the emperor want to do?" Zhou Zechen, who had always been calm, couldn't help but exclaim. "Doesn't he want the 100,000 troops of the Tongzhou battalion?"
Zhou Xingxing smiled more and more shrewdly.
"Chen'er, you also thought of it, didn't you?" he turned to look at the map on the wall and said coldly, "It seems that the matter of Chen Tangguan, even if it is not the emperor's intention, the person behind it is afraid that it will not be able to get rid of the emperor." Otherwise, the timing of this incident would not have been such a coincidence!"
