"I don't recognize the verbal promise, I have to write it down in person by the third prince, write it down in black and white, and stamp it with his private seal."

Zhou Jinzhi's words made the Zhou family frown, "Third brother, with your ability, you will definitely be able to reuse the three princes." It's just that you want a promise from the three princes, which is a bit embarrassing, so it's better to ......"

It doesn't seem appropriate to ask Chu Li to write down the promise in black and white, making it clear that he doesn't trust him. Even Huo Zhirou, who is her cousin, her marriage with Chu Li was just an exchange of tokens, and she did not write an engagement document. Huo Zhirou didn't get the promise of paper, let alone Zhou Jinzhi, who was more estranged.

Zhou knew that Zhou Jinzhi was not a good talker, so he thought about persuading him euphemistically, but he didn't want to be interrupted by Zhou Jinzhi before he could say the rest of his words.

"The eldest sister just tells the third prince, as for whether he agrees or not, let him be."

At the end, Zhou Jinzhi said with a smile: "The third prince is not the best choice. ”

Zhou's face sank, "Third brother, what do you mean by this." ”

Zhou Jinzhi smiled and said nothing, the meaning of the words is what you think.

He was not very optimistic about Chu Li, in other words, he could choose to join someone else's camp, and he had a better chance of success.

"I'm your own sister." Zhou's deep voice was positive.

They are brothers and sisters, one is prosperous and the other is lost.

Suddenly, Zhou Shi thought of something, and his face changed, "So you never have anything to do with the Marquis of Jingbei, just because you don't want to be tied to the same boat with us!" ”

Only then did she understand why Zhou Jinzhi obviously had the shortcut of Jingbei Houfu but didn't use it, it turned out that he had thought about it from the beginning.

"You, you have thought of today's ...... since then" Zhou's heart was mixed, this younger brother's mind was not ordinary, and he had already taken precautions, and Zhou Jinzhi at that time had just entered the officialdom, so he thought of leaving a way back for himself.

With such a younger brother, Zhou couldn't bring up any sense of joy.

Zhou Jinzhi's vigilance was too heavy, and even her sister was on guard. Zhou asked herself, although she is not very close to Zhou Jinzhi, but she still has this younger brother, Zhou Jin's study in the academy, and the restraints are all from her, and she also voluntarily took the initiative.

Now, Zhou feels cold when she thinks about it, she is good to her two younger brothers, but one is that the mud can't support the wall, and the other is indifferent and selfish, and she doesn't treat her as a sister at all.

His eyes fell on Zhou Jinzhi, Zhou Jinzhi had just passed the year of his establishment, and it was when he was in his prime, elegant and deep, with a mature and steady courtier demeanor. At this moment, the Zhou family even wanted to ask, if the last three princes were defeated, the first thing he would do was to make a clear relationship with her sister, so as not to involve him?

Thinking about it, Zhou didn't ask after all, she was afraid that the answer she got would make her even more chilled.

"Jinzhi, how did you become like this?" Zhou sighed, she just thought that Zhou Jinzhi had been introverted since she was a child, so her temper was a little weird, but she didn't want Zhou Jinzhi to be such a person.

Hearing this, Zhou Jinzhi's expression did not change, and he said lightly: "I am like this." ”

He was originally such a person, but the Zhou family had never seen it clearly.

"People don't die for their own sake, do they?"

Zhou Jinzhi raised his eyes, glanced at Zhou lightly, and then said, "Eldest sister, in fact, you are also like this." ”

Their sister and brother are actually a kind of people in their bones, selfish, they will only do things that are beneficial to themselves, they have one goal in life, go further, climb higher, and be superior.

Zhou Shi was stunned for a moment, then shook his head indifferently, "No......"

She is different from him, she is afraid that she is far less than this younger brother compared to being ruthless. At the very least, she never thought about guarding against her own brother.

"The eldest sister said no, then it's not." Zhou Jinzhi didn't care, and then turned the topic back, "It's useless not to say this." Eldest sister, I still say the same thing, you want me to help the third prince? Yes, as long as he agrees to my terms. I know this, eldest sister, you can't be the master alone, it doesn't matter, eldest sister just relay the original words to the three princes, and I will wait for the reply of the three princes. ”

Zhou was silent for a moment and then said, "If the third prince doesn't agree, what will you do with the third brother?" ”

What will he do?

Zhou Jinzhi smiled faintly, "Eldest sister, you should understand the principle of good birds choosing trees to perch." If the third prince doesn't agree, then I can only look at others. ”

From the dragon's skill is the best way to be promoted, and he Zhou Jinzhi will naturally not miss it. Chu Li couldn't talk about it, so he naturally wanted to find another prince.

"If you take refuge in someone else, you will be on the opposite side of the three princes." Zhou's face was cold, "When that time comes, will you not recognize me as a sister at all, third brother!" ”

Whether Chu Li will agree to Zhou Jinzhi's conditions, Zhou is not sure. If Chu Li agreed, it would naturally be good, but if he didn't agree, did Zhou Jinzhi plan to deny his six relatives?

"Eldest sister, you can also choose the third prince." Zhou Jinzhi replied indifferently.

Don't choose the Three Princes!

Zhou's face changed drastically, how is this possible?

"The Huo family is the mother family of the three princes, and Rou'er also promised the three princes early, and the Jingbei Marquis Mansion has long been tied to the three princes!"

"Third brother, are you sneering at your own sister!"

Zhou's face was already stained with anger, and Zhou Jinzhi's light words were actually full of irony, telling her how not to be angry. She's really good to him for nothing!

Facing Zhou's angry face, Zhou Jinzhi didn't answer, stood up unhurriedly, brushed his robe, and then said to Zhou: "I still have something to do, so I won't chat with my eldest sister and say goodbye." ”

After saying goodbye to Zhou, Zhou Jinzhi opened the door and left, completely ignoring Zhou's anger.

Zhou looked at Zhou Jinzhi's departing back, and his face was extremely gloomy. She didn't miss the ridicule in Zhou Jinzhi's eyes when he turned around. If she wasn't mistaken, the look was laughing at her.

She suddenly remembered that she had seen such a look on Zhou Jinzhi's face once a long time ago......

Yes, it turns out that Zhou Jinzhi has indeed never changed, whether it is his temperament or his opinion of her. Even though she is now in charge of the back house of the Marquis Mansion in Jingbei, although she does not have the name of Mrs. Hou, she has real power, but Zhou Jinzhi looks down on her as always......

was despised by his own brother, and Zhou's heart seemed to have a piece of ice, which was cold to his heart.

Outside the window, Huan'er hunched over, walked away lightly, and quietly went to Moyun Pavilion......

In the Moyun Pavilion

Huan'er told Huo Sijin about the conversation between the Zhou sisters and brothers. Rao is Zhou didn't notice it, she waved all the maids away, and in order to keep it secret, she also let the maids stay away and not be allowed to stay at the door, but ignored that there was a person hiding outside the window.

"You're doing a great job." Huo Sijin smiled and nodded, and took a silver ingot and handed it to Huan'er.

Huan'er didn't pick it up immediately, but looked at Huo Sijin hesitantly, "Young master, this ......"

"You go and buy yourself some jewelry and clothes." Huo Sijin smiled lightly, "Huan'er, your chance is coming, it's time to get ready." ”

When Huan'er heard this, she instantly understood what Huo Sijin meant. She will soon be able to approach Jingbei Hou, she should change into good-looking clothes and dress herself up beautifully, so as to better attract Jingbei Hou's attention.

Since this is the case, then she doesn't have to hesitate anymore, Huan'er respectfully took the silver ingot, and smiled, "Thank you, Shizi." ”

Huo Sijin nodded, and said, "If someone asks, you will say that it was given by your brother, and this is a dowry purchased for you in advance." ”

Huan'er has an older brother who does some small business outside, and it is not surprising that he has some silver.

"Yes, slave understands." Huan'er nodded again and again, and couldn't help but ask, "When will the slave ......" to climb onto the master's bed. Huan'er shyly couldn't say the next words.

"Don't worry, I'll let you know." Huo Sijin said, "Huan'er, you must remember not to be anxious, Zhou's mind is shrewd, if you are not careful and are discovered by her, you will only have a dead end." ”

Huo Sijin's expression was serious, and the words he said made Huan'er's heart skip a beat, and he hurriedly put away some of his wandering thoughts, "Yes, the slaves and maids have written it down." ”
