x|||||“ My aunt wants to come to me, just openly, why do you have to hide from my uncle and cousin? Didn't they have any opinions about me that didn't let my aunt come over? Ruotang didn't answer the rhetorical question, and put on Qin's words.

The Qin clan hurriedly waved his hand. With a smile on his face, he said to Ruotang: "You said that your uncle and your cousin are not stupid, such a godsend. How do they think about how to avoid it? And for such a big matter, I didn't even discuss it with me, and I was so angry! ”

"And how did my aunt know?" Ruotang became alert, could it be that someone had gone to see the Qin family?

"When your uncle was discussing with your cousin behind my back, I happened to hear it." The Qin family did not doubt him, and still complained to himself: "Sister Tang, tell me, the prince's side concubine, after the prince ascended the throne and became the emperor, how can we Sister Yun be crowned the emperor's concubine, the wealth of the sky is waiting for us, they don't even want it!" Do you say that people are angry? ”

It turned out that she overheard.

Ruotang quietly breathed a sigh of relief, at this time, he was afraid that the prince and King Duan would go directly to propose marriage, and according to the temperament of the eldest aunt, he must have agreed to come down in one bite. The more Ruotang thought about it, the more he felt that this matter was very urgent, not to mention that there was a teammate like a pig like his aunt. I don't know if I'm going to sell them all in a minute.

"Sister Tang, I heard that after you entered the palace, the queen mother personally mentioned this family matter to you?" After Qin finished complaining, he couldn't wait to ask Ruotang about the details.

"Auntie, this matter. It's hard to say. Ruotang showed a look of embarrassment and hesitation.

Qin's eyes were anxious, "You kid, what else is there to say to your uncle?" It's about Sister Yun's lifelong happiness, you must tell your aunt as it is! ”

Ruotang said: "When I entered the palace yesterday, the queen didn't mention that she wanted to give her cousin to the prince as a side concubine, and even said ...... to her cousin Alas, aunt. There are some things I really can't say, so let's forget it. "The cloth is a big carry.

"What's it?" Qin Shi stood up anxiously, "What did the queen mother tell you?" ”

Ruotang had no choice but to say: "The queen mother heard some things about her cousin, and she was very displeased, and she blamed your aunt in front of me for teaching your daughter no way." also said that my cousin was fortunate to be born in a merchant family, and if she was born in a famous family, she would definitely announce your aunt to the palace and reprimand her. Raising such a daughter not only lost the face of the family, but also the face of our Great Chu Dynasty. ”

"What?" Qin opened his mouth wide, sat down in the chair with a plop, and grabbed the armrest with a pale face, "How can this be?" Not to say. Does the queen mother like our sister Yun so she wants to give her to the prince? ”

"Auntie, I'm afraid you've heard wrong." Ruotang scared the bold and ambitious Qin clan without any pressure, "The queen mother did mention the prince, but she said that such a woman who has no female virtue and no merit will never enter the East Palace." If it weren't for my hard work, I was afraid that the queen would immediately ask the crown princess to announce her cousin, would my aunt know that once my cousin was summoned by the crown princess, what was waiting for my cousin? ”

Qin Shi was pale-faceted when he heard this, and asked tremblingly, "What is it?" ”

"If it weren't for being indiscriminately matched with a slave boy, I am afraid that I would immediately force my cousin to cut his hair and become a nun, and the Green Lantern Ancient Buddha would have lived this life. In this way, it will not insult the family, nor will it be spread to other countries to lose the face of the Great Chu State. Ruotang's big hat of the big crime that he casually brought in pressed Qin's back by two points.

"How does this work?" Although the Qin family is superficial and loves vanity, it is true that they love Zhou Liangyun's heart, "How can a talent like Sister Yun of my family be matched with a slave casually?" Not to mention the Green Lantern Ancient Buddha...... I'm afraid that this capital will be stunned, Sister Tang, I'll go back and discuss with your uncle, let's go back to Jiangnan. ”

Saying that, he got up in a panic and was about to leave.

Ruotang hurriedly called her: "Uncle stays." At this time, it is probably inappropriate to return to Jiangnan in such a hurry. ”

If the Zhou family is in chaos, they will flee back to Jiangnan in a hurry, and the queen will definitely know the attitude of the Zhou family, and also understand how much of a lie she told in front of her. What's more, even if the uncle and they returned to the capital at this time, the prince and the others might not be dead---- if they weren't worried that the food would be too ugly, it is estimated that the prince and Duanwang would have already robbed people by various means.

Fortunately, the Zhou family is a businessman's family, and the prince and others are self-respecting, so they must always find a suitable reason and the right opportunity to accept Zhou Liangyun, otherwise if they find the Zhou family or Zhou Liangyun in such a straightforward way, the ambition and purpose will be too obvious. If the emperor is alarmed, they are afraid that they will not be able to please him. Therefore, everything can only be done in secret, which gives Ruotang and his uncle a chance to breathe a sigh of relief.

"What's wrong? This capital is no longer a place to stay for a long time, and if you stay any longer, your cousin will probably ......."

"Although Jiangnan is the foundation of the Zhou family, but the world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister, if the queen has the heart to teach her cousin, even if you go back to Jiangnan now, a holy decree can call you back, what's the use, it's just a trip in vain."

"That's not going to work, that's not going to work, what should I do?" Qin was so frightened that tears flowed out.

At this time, Ruotang had to thank her for her stupidity. Otherwise, if she is a smart person, it is strange that her excuse is full of holes, and it is not obvious that she will not be punctured on the spot. "Uncle, don't worry, this matter is with me, as well as the eldest uncle and uncle, we will find a way, and we will definitely be able to save my cousin."

"Sister Tang, you must find a way! Sister Yun is your cousin, you must save her! Qin wiped his tears and begged, "Otherwise, you go into the palace again to beg the queen, our Sister Yun is really a good child, she just likes to do business, and there are more women in this world who do business, and my Sister Yun is not the only one, how can you just want my Sister Yun's life......"

Ruotang's eyelids jumped by her suppressed cry, and she patiently comforted her for a long time, and finally persuaded people away. Ruotang asked Cai Qing and Jixiang to personally escort her back to Furen Hutong, and she must be handed over to her uncle with her own hands, and no one should be allowed to have a chance to contact her.

With her temperament of hearing that the wind is rain, and she is so easy to fool, if someone finds her, she will marry Zhou Liangyun immediately if she can be fooled in three or two sentences.

After all, whether it is the crown prince or the concubine of Duanwang, this is a great honor in the eyes of the Qin family.

……

After fooling the Qin family, Ruotang didn't care if the queen would send someone to monitor her movements, so she changed her clothes and hurried to her newly opened shop.

Because the shop is newly opened, and Zhou Liangyun takes care of it for her, Zhou Liangyun spends more time in Baochang Building than her own shop.

Ruotang rushed to Baochang Building, but was told that Zhou Liangyun had not come over today. After waiting anxiously for a while, he found an excuse that the accounts were wrong, and asked the guy to invite Zhou Liangyun to come over from Furen Hutong.

The guy hasn't come back yet, Princess Duan arrived first. Seeing Ruotang in the store, he seemed stunned, and then laughed, "Brother and sister, such a coincidence?" Yesterday, I heard that your store was open here, and it happened that there was nothing to do today, so I thought I would come over and see what kind of good things you have in this store. ”

What coincidence? I'm afraid that people have checked Zhou Liangyun's daily itinerary and know that she will come here to take care of Baochang Building for her, so she came here to find someone to get acquainted with, right?

Ruotang scolded in his heart, but he greeted him with a sweet smile on his face and said, "I'm also idle, come and see how the business is going in the past few days." The third sister-in-law is coming back for the first time, so it's better to find a guy to introduce you to the things in this building. ”

Princess Duan glanced at her with a smile, "Why, my younger brother and sister don't accompany me upstairs and downstairs to take a look, but there are other things to do?" ”

Ruotang smiled and said, "I don't come much on weekdays, and I don't know much about imported products, my cousin helps me take care of it, and I don't know why I haven't come here today, if my cousin is here, she knows a lot more than me." ”

Princess Duan's eyes flashed, "Xu is there something at home that is stumbling?" I'm not in a hurry, just sit with my younger siblings and wait for Miss Zhou to come over and take a look. ”

At this time, the thrush who was bored in the store and went out to buy pastries came back in a hurry, "Niangniang, no, Miss Zhou killed someone in the Longchang silk shop!" ”

Ruotang jumped up in fright, and didn't care about Princess Duan on the side, so he asked urgently: "What's it!" Really killed? What about Miss Zhou? Who saw this? ”

My cousin, even if you don't want to marry the crown prince or the king of Duan, you don't need to take this road of no return so extremely!

Ruotang really wants to cry, what kind of day is this!

"I didn't see clearly whether someone was beaten to death, so I heard the lively people outside say that someone was killed, and as soon as I saw that it was Miss Zhou brought out by the official errand, I quickly ran back to report to you."

"The official sent people away?" Ruotang was stunned, and then strode out, "Go and find out, which official from the yamen took people away, don't let them be tortured." Also, go and see if the beaten man is really dead? ”

After walking a few steps, he remembered Princess Duan, and he stopped again, and said to Princess Duan, who also had a somewhat unpleasant face, "Third sister-in-law, I ......"

"You go get busy first." Princess Duan got up and hurriedly walked out, "I suddenly remembered that there is still something to deal with in the house, so I will come to your store another day to take a look." ”

She had to hurry back and tell King Duan that this week Liangyun can make money no matter how rich she is, and now she can't marry---- dare to kill people, and everyone knows that the city is full of storms, who dares to marry such a woman and enter the door, and the custody will be ruined immediately!

Ruotang didn't care about responding to her, went out with her, and watched her get into the carriage, and was about to get into the carriage, when she heard a panting voice behind her shouting urgently: "Ah Tang! ”

Ruotang turned around, and saw Lu Zhengqing running towards her with an anxious face, in this late autumn weather, he was stunned and sweated profusely, "Ah Tang, have you heard that Miss Zhou was taken away by the people of the Yamen?" ”

Ruotang frowned, this is only a moment of kung fu, is it spread all over? "How did Dr. Lu know?"

"Little Ding...... Ran to see the excitement and came back to tell me. Lu Zhengqing's anxious brows were deeply locked, "How could Miss Zhou kill someone for no reason?" There must be something strange in this. That's right, by the way, someone must be trying to harm Miss Zhou! ”

Seeing his anxious appearance, Ruotang's heart moved, and he retreated a little before he spoke: "Doctor Lu, I also believe that my cousin will not kill people for no reason, she did this, probably to make her reputation bad, so that it is good to eliminate the thoughts of some high-ranking and powerful people who beat her ideas---- do you know what I mean?" ”

Lu Zhengqing looked at Ruotang dumbfounded for a long time, and then said in a daze: "Someone has the idea of beating Miss Zhou?" Miss Zhou only needs to refuse, so why ......"

"I said, it's a high-powered person, the Zhou family is just a family of merchants, how can you refuse?" Ruotang sighed lightly, and smiled wryly with a sad face, "My cousin's temperament is really impressive. I'm afraid that after this prison sentence, no one in this world will dare to marry her. A woman is difficult to be tolerated by this world, and I don't know how many white eyes and cold receptions she will have to suffer in the future......"

"I'm ......" Lu Zhengqing tugged at the corner of his clothes, but he never said that sentence under Ruotang's expectant gaze.

Ruotang's eyes slowly dimmed, and he turned around to get into the car, "That's it, I'd better go see my cousin first." ”

"Do you want me to marry her?" Lu Zhengqing, who was behind him, finally mustered up his courage, but he said such a sentence.

Ruotang's back was stunned.

Even if she is a pig, she knows Lu Zhengqing's good impression of her. She originally only thought that it was just a good feeling!

She turned slowly and looked at him fixedly, "If I said I wanted you to marry her, would you marry her?" ”

Lu Zhengqing opened his mouth, Ruotang shook his head, and then continued: "Of course I don't want my cousin to be lonely for the rest of her life, but I know her, and she will not be rare in any kind of charity given to her." Doctor Lu, don't insult her like this, and don't insult your own feelings like this. ”

Lu Zhengqing's fair face instantly turned red, and he hurriedly waved his hand, "I don't mean to insult Miss Zhou......"

Ruotang smiled at him, "Doctor Lu doesn't have to blame himself, just say this in front of me, don't say it in front of my cousin." A proud person like her, if she knew that you had said this, would have disowned you. You don't have to worry too much, with me, I won't let my cousin have an accident. ”

Lu Zhengqing also knew that he had said the wrong thing, and he didn't know how to put his hands and feet in embarrassment, "Then what can I do for Miss Zhou?" ”

"I've already asked people to go to the shop where the accident happened, whether the person who was beaten is dead, if Dr. Lu is free, why don't you go and help take a look?"

"Okay, okay, I'll go." After that, he didn't bother to say goodbye to Ruotang, so he ran away in a panic.

This nerd, he should really take a good look at what kind of expression he has at this time.

Ruotang took a deep breath, it's okay, even if my cousin's reputation has been bad since then, there is always such a person who will not look down on her and dislike her!

……

Zhou Liangyun basically went through the yamen and was soon released.

First, she didn't beat people to death, but just beat people to "faint". Second, the eldest uncle and brother-in-law reached a compensation agreement with the "victim", and the "victim" personally rushed to the yamen and told everyone that the incident was just a misunderstanding, and he himself said that he would not pursue it. Third, Princess Xiang personally followed up on the matter, and Zhou Liangyun was naturally released quickly.

Ruotang's carriage was waiting at the entrance of the yamen, and Zhou Liangyun came out of it and got into her carriage directly.

Before he could sit down, he heard Ruotang sneer: "Cousin's trick is really a good way to draw salary, I don't know if you thought about your uncle, grandfather and the girls in the clan who may be affected by you or are married or have not yet decided to marry?" ”

She still blames Zhou Liangyun a little, as the saying goes, everything is easy to discuss, she didn't even discuss with her family, she teamed up with others to do such a shocking thing, she herself escaped the coveting of the queen and others, but what about the Zhou family?

Ruotang is once again glad that the Zhou family is just a family of businessmen, even if something like this happens, at most it will be pointed at a few words, and it will not hurt the fundamentals, and it will not be like those so-called people in the family who want to dip their daughters who have done such a thing that has lost the face of the family in a pig cage or something.

Zhou Liangyun looked at her without dodging, and said lightly: "I naturally thought about it---- I will propose to my father and ask him to expel me from the Zhou family." Do you think I'm doing it all for myself? My grandfather often said that the Zhou family could never go to Beijing, and they could never be involved with the royal family. I did this, although it was a reputation for the Zhou family, but in the end it made those who coveted the Zhou family dispel their dirty thoughts and keep the Zhou family safe for decades to come! You can't understand it, but my grandfather must understand me. ”

Zhou Liangyun dared to do this, also because the old lady of the Zhou family had clearly said that the Zhou family had already lost the life of the little aunt for the royal family's fight for the throne, if the Zhou family encountered something related to the royal family in the future, no matter what method was used, it would be to lose the Zhou family's money and reputation, and it must not sacrifice anyone like sacrificing the little aunt! So Zhou Liangyun knew that her grandfather would definitely not be angry with her for doing this.

Ruotang was stunned: "Expelled from the Zhou family?" You are crazy? ”

An unmarried woman is expelled from the family, but how can she stand and survive?

"There is no room for me here, so there is naturally a place for me." Zhou Liangyun smiled very easily, "Perhaps, I will go to sea with my uncle and find a place to live, I have the talent to do business, so I won't starve to death." It's just that I pity my mother, although she is annoying on weekdays, she also hurts me, if I leave, she is afraid that it will be difficult to accept. But fortunately, there are still younger brothers and sisters under the knees of my parents to do their filial piety, and after a few more years, no matter how much sadness I have, I have calmed down. ”

Ruotang was dumbfounded, she thought that Zhou Liangyun would do such a thing out of whim, but now it seems that she has thought it through. couldn't help but sigh lightly, "Actually, it's not like there's no other way, why do you have to choose such a drastic way?" ”

"My life is not for intrigue with those people!" Zhou Liangyun smiled lightly, free and easy enough to attract anyone's attention: "What way is more neat than the current one?" ”
