Zhou Zijun also understood, and Zhao Wu was unwilling. Just rushed to Zhou Zimei's style just now, and he didn't want to leave him alone. He didn't say anything about Zhou Zimei, and the two drank happily.

Sending Zhao Wu away, the rain continued to fall. Zhou Zijun asked people to go to Zhou Guogong's study with a sheep's horn lamp. The subordinate said that Zhou Guogong was not there, and went to the old lady's place, and Zhou Zijun went to the old lady's small study again.

Not only Zhou Guogong is here, but even the prince is here, and they are discussing important matters.

After listening to Zhou Zijun's report, Zhou Guogong's face sank, that is, he was angry that his niece didn't listen to the greetings and did things out of line, and he felt that Zhao Wu didn't know the height of the sky and didn't give face to the Zhou Mansion.

He snorted coldly, "This son is used to being emotional, and he shouldn't be used much." ”

Mrs. Zhou looked at her son and said, "Zhao Wu would rather not have a future, but also save Xu Qingyan, maybe he already has a heart for the Xu family, how can he see other women in his eyes." But whoever values love has both his strengths and weaknesses. Don't try to control him with force, but find a way to win him over and impress him. Such a person should be used well, and it should be used even more...... Zhao Wu is young, and if he is brought over, he will be the most useful person for King Wu and even the prince of Wu in the future......"

Zhou Guogong and Zhou Shizi both said, "Yes." Father (grandfather) taught that. ”

Mrs. Zhou said to Zhou Shizi again, "Tomorrow, let your daughter-in-law make a post for the Xu family girl and invite her to come to the house to play for a day." She is Xu Qingyan's eldest daughter, and she has nothing to do with Zhao, so our government should treat her with courtesy. ”

Zhou Shizi bowed down and promised.

Mrs. Zhou's face sank again, and she said, "As for the eyebrows, let the eldest daughter-in-law discipline and discipline well." She has been in Shaanxi for a long time, and she has been spoiled by the third and her family. The daughter of our Zhou Mansion, who is wise and virtuous, how can she do such a thing, which makes people laugh at it. ”

Two days later, in the morning, Xu Lanyin and Xu Lanyue prepared to go to Zhou's mansion.

Xu Lanyin was dressed in a decent manner, wrapped in Ayaluo, covered with pearls, and painted a light makeup, which not only had the grandeur of meeting the guests, but also did not show new intentions. I picked up Xiao Nizi well, the newly made bamboo leaf green half arm, light green gauze skirt, and a cinnabar mole in the center of the eyebrows. Yesterday, Xu Lanyin also drew a pattern and asked Aunt Fang to cut Xiao Nizi Liuhai, which was thicker and longer than usual, especially the left half of her face had slightly more hair, covering the small half of the scar.

Xu Lanyue held the mirror and refused to let go, she was so excited that she couldn't do it, and said bluntly, "I've become beautiful, and I can be so beautiful." ”

It made everyone laugh.

Xu Lanyin brought three sets of chess as gifts, a pair of Western chess made of wenge wood, a pair of military chess made of water nanmu, and a pair of three-treasure checkers. This is the collector's edition she made in Liaozhou Mansion, Sanbao checkers made three pairs, the other two pairs were given to Min Jia, and the other two pairs were given to Xiaoxing. This time, the three sets of chess were specially brought to the capital, in case it was of great use, and it really came in handy today.

Xu Lanyin and Xu Lanyue took the two girls to the Zhou Mansion in a car. When he came to the corner gate, he took Xu Lanyue to the small study to see Mrs. Zhou, and Xu Lanyin went to the inner courtyard in a small sedan chair.

The small sedan chair directly carried Xu Lanyin to the courtyard gate of the prince's wife and grandmother Zhou.

The yard was full of flowers, laughter, and a few flower-like girls and daughters-in-law were drinking tea and laughing under the verandah, and there was a young man during the period.

Xu Lanyin could see at a glance that the son was Liu Zhaohou, the fourth prince. I didn't expect to meet this old acquaintance, Xu Lanyin's smile was even more sincere.

Today, Liu Zhaohou was noisy to come to play at a foreign house, and the Queen Mother let him go. In the Zhou Mansion, he only played well with his cousin Zhou Ziyou. The Zhou Mansion treats him as a child, and the inner courtyard slips with him.

Liu Zhaohou also saw Xu Lanyin, called "Sister Xu" in his mouth, and ran towards Xu Lanyin.

His style surprised several female relatives of the Zhou family, how could he know Miss Xu and call her so affectionate?

Xu Lanyin bowed her knees to Liu Zhaohou and said with a smile, "Fourth prince, what a coincidence." ”

Liu Zhaohou puffed out his cheeks and said, "Sister Xu, I can be regarded as seeing you, I miss you so much." I've always wanted Cousin Chai to take me to the teahouse to see you, play chess with you, and listen to you, but my father and grandmother won't allow it. ”

He spoke very slowly and a little stumbling, but he expressed his thoughts about how he missed Xu Lanyin.

A very beautiful girl came over and said with a smile, "Cousin, the visitor is a guest, so I always have to invite the girl to sit down, serve tea, and catch up with the old days." ”

Liu Zhaohou said suddenly, "Yes, yes, Sister Xu, go over and sit down, let's kill another game." ”

The girl took Xu Lanyin's hand and walked towards the group. also introduced himself, "Miss Xu, I'm Zhou Ziyou." It turns out that you are the sister Xu who my cousin often talks about and can play chess and talk, what a coincidence. ”

She is one of the four beauties of the capital that Zhao Wu said, Zhou Ziyou, Friday girl.

It seems that she has a very good relationship with Liu Zhaohou. Moreover, he also released kindness to himself.

Coming to the group of people, Zhou Ziyou pointed to a twenty-seven or eight-year-old beautiful woman and said, "This is my sister-in-law." ”

Xu Lanyin curtsied and smiled, "Grandma Zhou." ”

Grandma Zhou smiled, "A good girl, I will often come to the house to play in the future." ”

Zhou Ziyou pointed to a young woman in her early twenties and a young woman in her twenties and said, "This is my third sister-in-law and fourth sister-in-law." ”

Xu Lanyin still bowed his knees.

After that, a beautiful girl of eighteen or nineteen years old smiled, "I don't need to be introduced by my fifth sister, I'm Zhou Zimei." ”

This is Zhou Zimei, the Wednesday girl who Zhou Fu wanted to say to Zhao Wu, but the girl didn't look down on Zhao Wu. Xu Lanyin had already heard Zhao Wu say her name.

Wednesday the girl smiled, but the smile did not reach the bottom of her eyes.

She looked down on the poor boy Zhao Wu, and of course she couldn't afford to look down on her, the daughter of a little military attache who was born in a secret guard. Among these women, Grandma Zhou is a lady's signature smile, Zhou Ziyou and Grandma Wednesday smile sincerely, and Grandma Thursday and Zhou Zimei obviously don't want to see her as a country girl.

Xu Lanyin was still smiling brightly and said, "Wednesday girl." ”

Seeing that they had finally finished their introduction, Liu Zhaohou couldn't wait to say, "After you get to know each other, Sister Xu will come to play chess and chess with me." ”

Zhou Ziyou pouted and said, "My sister-in-law only has Go and military chess and checkers here, not chess." If you want to play chess, go to my grandfather's place, don't mess around here. ”

Dare to talk to Liu Zhaohou like this, only Zhou Ziyou is among these people.

Liu Zhaohou didn't follow, "But I just want to go chess." ”

Zhou Ziyou said, "Then you go to my grandfather, my grandfather likes to play chess the most." ”

When Liu Zhaohou heard this, Fang reluctantly shut up, his mouth still cocked, indicating that he was very unhappy.

Grandma Zhou didn't want to offend the four princes, and said with a smile, "My uncle also has a pair of chess in the study, so let people get it." ”

Liu Zhaohou was happy.
