"Why did you make your uncle angry?"

Zhou Fu asked casually, which made Zhou Quan feel a little weak, and he defended: "Where is me, it is clear that my father and you are angry with your uncle, and I have repeatedly invited my uncle to stay, he is also old, and he should have stayed to enjoy Qingfu!" ”

Zhou Fu is also very weak-hearted.

After Zhou Tong came this time, he had an argument with him, of course, behind Zhou Quan's back.

Zhou Tong felt that he was still young and could regenerate, so he persuaded him to take a concubine. But where did Zhou Fu dare, Zhou's mother cleaned him up obediently, so she politely refused the matter. Zhou Tong retreated again, asking him to find a wife for Zhou Quan as soon as possible, and it was best to let Zhou Quan marry this year.

In Zhou Tong's words, Zhou Quan has no character, if he has a wife and children, he will be more calm.

In fact, Zhou Dong's idea is to open up branches for the old Zhou family, and strive to see the next generation of the Zhou family while he is still there; The second is to borrow the affection of his wife and children to dissipate some of Zhou Quan's anger.

This point was also rejected by Zhou Fuwan.

Zhou Fu's thoughts are different from Zhou Tong's, the Zhou family is now on the rise, thriving, looking for a daughter from an idler's family, acting as Zhou Quan's wife, which will not help the Zhou family's career.

In Zhou Fu's opinion, his son is so capable that if he wants to marry, he must marry at least the daughter or granddaughter of the former ruler. With the power of his daughter-in-law's family, his Zhou family can be regarded as squeezed into the powerful family of the Great Song Dynasty, and the next generation of the Zhou family, with the merits of Zhou Fu and Zhou Quan, and the strength of the mother family as the aid, and then be able to read some books, it may not be known that the Zhou family will be a ruler in the future.

The two brothers had a dispute over this, and in the end, Zhou Tong couldn't resist him, so he could only break up unhappily.

"By the way, this time, some uncles came to Jingzhong, and they all met you, when are you free?" Zhou Fu asked.

If they just want to see it, they can be seen at any time, these uncles still have something to ask Zhou Quan, and Zhou Quan can guess what they have to do.

It's just that he sees that Zhou Fu and Zhou Quan are rich and noble here, and they want to come and get a piece of the pie.

"Dad, you know that I am very busy, besides, these uncles, when we left Jingshi, we did not come to ask them to help, but they were unwilling to come. doesn't share the hardships with us, but now wants to share the wealth with us, I think this is extremely unfair to Uncle Wu and Uncle Di! ”

"Ahem, I can't blame them at the beginning, going out of Beijing is not a beautiful thing after all." Zhou Fu was a little embarrassed.

He is righteous and bold to others, and only remembers the good of others, not the bad of others. And the old brothers who have taken refuge now are indeed old friends for many years, and many of them are even his robes on the battlefield, and they can't forget their old friends after they become rich, and they seem to have a very poor character when they are passed out.

"Dad, these people ask you to borrow a few pieces of money, eat and drink, I don't ask, but don't put them in the kiln, what can they do when they get to the kiln, but they will disrupt our original good things, and even bring some bad habits, such as bullying colleagues by virtue of their relationship with us." Zhou Quan had a straight face: "This matter must not be ......"

The son didn't give face, which made Zhou Fu a little embarrassed, seeing that the father and son were about to have a dispute, suddenly, someone said outside: "Mu Bantou is here, there is something urgent to see!" ”

Zhou Fu watched his son go out in a hurry, snorted, and sat in his seat without leaving.

He still has to discuss with his son, and those old brothers can't be ignored.

After a while, I saw my son walking back with a strange look on his face.

Zhou Fu didn't take it to heart, and was about to mention the matter of the old brother to his son again, but he didn't think about it, Zhou Quan took the initiative to ask: "Dad, how many uncles and uncles are there?" ”

"Uh...... More than 20 people ......"

"More than twenty?"

Zhou Fu thought that Zhou Quan was suspicious, so he stammered: "Also, most of them have brought their sons and nephews to ......."

Those old brothers thought very simply, Zhou Fu was rich and noble, and he was an official outside, and Zhou Quan was in charge of hundreds of thousands of foundations, and these had to be helped. The Zhou family is thin in their own people, and these old brothers are relatives, and they just take their older children and nephews to earn a future together.

At this time, people are sophisticated, and they can't complain that they think so, but Zhou Quan is a minority.

"How many people are there?"

"Forty or fifty people ......"

"Numbers!"

"Uh, sixty-one."

The conversation between the father and son, if outsiders hear it, they are afraid that they will think that the identities of the two parties are reversed.

When Zhou Quan heard this, he grinned: "I invited them to come at the beginning, but now I have dragged my family to come, okay, I have something to do, you ask them if they will do it, if they are willing to do it, then naturally it is still Dad, your brother, my uncle, but if you don't do it...... I'm sorry, but where are they coming and going, pestering me out! ”

Zhou Fu was in good spirits, his son finally relented, and he said with a smile: "Don't worry, they all said that they will do murder and arson!" ”

"It's not necessary to kill people and set fires, I want them to go to Suzhou with me and slap someone in the face......"

"Suzhou? So far? ”

"The canal comes and goes, but it will be there in seven days."

Thinking about it, Zhou Fu patted his son on the shoulder: "Don't worry, there is no problem in this matter, my old brother, and their sons and nephews, don't dare to say anything else, fighting is a good hand...... Wait a minute, who are you going to hit in the face in Suzhou? ”

"Zhu Mian!" Zhou Quan grinned, his eyes cold.

The news that Mu Qi brought back, the errand sent to Suzhou to pick up the shipwrights, was beaten back, and the beater was a soldier from the Suzhou Yingfeng Bureau.

They also asked these officers to bring back the message, saying that they were from Xuzhou and Haizhou, and when they arrived in Suzhou, they saw that they would be beaten again, this time only in the face, and next time they would break their hands and feet, so that they would not stretch their hands and feet so long.

This is not to beat those errand soldiers, but to slap Zhou Quan in the face!

Changing others may not be able to do this, Zhu Mian is used to being the local head snake emperor in Suzhou, and his eyes are empty, and many of the Taishou and Thorn History in the southeast are from his door, so to speak, his words are holy decrees in Suzhou.

His subordinates felt that he didn't go to Xuzhou and Haizhou to retaliate against Zhou Quan, and they were already very restrained and tolerable.

"Zhu Mian?" Zhou Fu was stunned when he heard this, and then pressed Zhou Quan: "Don't worry, don't worry, tell me, why Zhu Mian?" ”

Zhou Quan informed Zhou Fu of Zhu Mian's interception of the shipwright, and Zhou Fu's brows suddenly wrinkled: "I am among the teachers in Beijing, and I heard that this person is very happy with the officials...... Is this unbearable? ”

"If you are in the Beijing Division, you naturally have to endure it if you can't bear it, but now it is not in the Beijing Division." Zhou Quan's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and after the battle with the Lashan bandits, he became even more bloody: "Dad, I told you more than once, overseas is our retreat, and it is also the source of our wealth, whoever prevents me from opening up overseas, who is my mortal enemy, if Zhu Mian is interested, he will swallow this breath obediently, otherwise, I will kill him!" ”

Zhou Fu looked at his son dumbfounded, and after a while, he smiled bitterly: "I just killed a small official of the Beijing Division, and it took a lot of effort to do it...... He is much more difficult to deal with than Xu Churen! ”

"That's why I want to borrow the power of those uncles, Dad, tell them the truth, I'm going to attack Zhu Mian, and I only take a few dozen people to Zhu Mian's lair, even if I go, I may be scolded by the officials...... Dad, don't frown and stare at you, you don't know your face, you don't know your heart, now there are too many secret things here between our father and son, are these uncles really so reliable? ”

Zhou Fu's heart sank.

If these people were so reliable, they should have come with him when his father and son left Beijing. But at that time, he was short of manpower, so he invited many parties, and a total of more than ten old brothers such as Di Jiang and Wu Yang followed.

Now these more than ten old brothers are either filling their posts as officials, or they are in charge of a certain affairs, and they have power and money in their hands, and the Zhou family is also thriving.

What is the place when they are Zhou's house!

Don't say that Zhou Quan is angry in his heart, it is Zhou Fu, in fact, when he thinks alone, he is also very unhappy. It's just that he is too particular about righteousness, and he also hopes that after he becomes rich, his old brothers will be able to shine, so he took this matter.

Looking at it now, the method Zhou Quan said is the best.

"Then I'll ask...... Do you really want to go south and compare with Zhu Mian? ”

"The soldiers are very fast, after I passed, I grabbed the boatman and left, and I was caught off guard by Zhu Mian. If he is not interested...... Daddy, do you think of our Cotton Chamber of Commerce? ”

Zhou Fu nodded, understanding what Zhou Quan meant. He left in a hurry, and when he got outside, he saw his old brothers in a circle, talking and laughing loudly with Di Jiang.

Di Jiang's voice was very loud, and after the Pengcheng Rebellion, Zhou Quan noticed the change in his mentality, thinking that the two had been born and died together in the Liao Kingdom, so he sent Ji Chun to him as an assistant. On the surface, he is still in charge of Zhou Quan's intelligence system in Xuzhou, but in fact, Ji Chun has gradually taken over the past.

At the same time, Zhou Quan also asked Di Jiang to preside over the sale of cement, ushering in the send, which is exactly what he wants, and he has a high status, power in his hands, and can share a lot of money, so now Di Jiang's voice among the old brothers is louder.

Everyone originally surrounded him to flatter, but when they saw Zhou Fu coming out, they abandoned him again and surrounded Zhou Fu.

"Brother Zhou Fu, how is it, what do you think about the old man?"

"Hey, then I need to say, my brother is the nephew of Quan, how to do it is not my brother's words?"

"That's it, when we and my brother scooped water with a spoon to drink, Quanlangjun is our nephew, reward us uncles for a mouthful of food, Quanlangjun makes a lot of money, how can he be reluctant?"

"Can't Di Jiang get a lot of wealth, but we don't have anything, right?"

Di Jiang, who had been chatting with them for a good time, felt a little uncomfortable when he heard this.

His current status in the Zhou family's power is rich and noble, but he is desperately fighting, from Liao to Xuzhou, which battle is missing himself!

These people only think of the old relationship with Zhou Fu, and they want to be on an equal footing with themselves?

He sneered in his heart: Thinking about it beautifully, Brother Zhou Fu is easy to bluff, but that nephew is a human spirit among human spirits, and he is a little afraid of him now, so with these three-legged cats, he also wants to take advantage?
