a-????? Ruotang heard her say "let", and knew that this cousin was also a kind person. Otherwise, you can blame her for this, she did it anyway.

And she also got a lot of information from Zhou Liangyun's words, first of all. The shop below that was smashed beyond recognition was not Zhou's, but Zhou Liangyun's. Because what she said was "I open the door and do business". Secondly, this cousin was not raised in the boudoir since she was a child, but "ran with her father for so many years", and she is a girl who has seen a lot of courage.

Therefore, even if he heard that it was the princess of Ryuguo who was offended, he did not show a panicked look.

Ruotang's affection for her couldn't help but increase a little more. She suddenly felt that she was still very lucky, none of the girls she knew were simple, even Shen Ruolan was not simple.

"Cousin, don't be nervous, my relationship with her has already been married. She will definitely count this account on my head today, but I am the princess of Hunan anyway, and she doesn't dare to do anything to me on the surface. Ruotang said with a smile. Of course she thinks so, no matter how angry Princess Guoan is with her, she won't dare to go to the Xiangwang Mansion to find her trouble, whether she releases the King of Xiang or Abai, she can't afford to provoke the delicate princess.

Zhou Liangyun still couldn't stop worrying. "Although it is not good for you on the surface, but what about it secretly? Hidden arrows are hard to guard against, so you have to be careful. ”

Seeing her heartfelt worry, Ruotang felt warm in her heart and nodded. blurted out: "Anyway, there's nothing to do in the afternoon, cousin, you probably won't be able to open this store, so it's better for me to go back with you to see my uncle." ”

Zhou Liangyun was stunned.

Ruotang sighed in annoyance, and hurriedly remedied: "I said it casually, if my cousin is inconvenient, forget it." ”

"There's no inconvenience." Zhou Liangyun looked at her with a slightly complicated expression, "Have you noticed that I don't like you very much?" ”

Ruotang didn't expect her to say it so bluntly. couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and didn't know how to respond, hehe smirked twice, "It's not hard to see." ”

Zhou Liangyun became more and more frank, "I don't like you a lot, my grandfather, father and uncles in my family over the years, even my brothers who have never seen you at all, no matter which one mentions you, they must be worried and sad." Whoever gets something good must take it out as soon as possible, because it is all for you. I was amazed. It's not that there are no children in the family, so why do grandfathers and fathers have to treat you like eyes? This time I went to Beijing, my uncle just came back from the sea and brought a lot of imported goods, have you seen them? ”

In fact, not only Zhou Liangyun couldn't figure it out, but Ruotang couldn't figure it out when he heard it. Shen Ruotang hasn't had anything to do with the Zhou family for so many years, and the Zhou family still cares about her so much, and even the children of the Zhou family are jealous of her, how do you think about it, I also feel that there is a problem!

"Originally, the uncle was also coming, because after they heard the news that you were married and still married to the prince of Xiang, they were very anxious. It's a pity that my uncle fell ill as soon as he came ashore, and my grandfather was worried about you and ordered my father to set off overnight. I was unconvinced, and felt that if I didn't see you in this life, I would be afraid of death and would not be reconciled, so I followed. Zhou Liangyun's face was no longer the gentle and cordial politeness that Ruotang was familiar with, but after saying the knot in her heart, she was completely happy and open.

She lifted her chin slightly, and it looked even a little defiant.

It seems to be asking Ruotang, I hated you like this in the first place, how is it!

What can Ruotang do, which of the things she is wearing now is not given to her by the Zhou family? She is not the real Shen Ruotang, she originally took the Zhou family with the Zhou family, she was soft-handed and soft-mouthed, where can she still be confident. "I'm sorry."

In the end, that's all she could say.

She is not the real Shen Ruotang, but instead of Shen Ruotang, she enjoys the care and love of the Zhou family. Because of the Zhou family's love for her, Zhou Liangyun didn't like her, and she had nothing to say. It's not good to ask her to return the things that the Zhou family gave her, so I'm afraid that the Zhou family will move to Beijing immediately.

Therefore, in addition to a pale and weak "sorry", Ruotang didn't know what to say to Zhou Liangyun.

Zhou Liangyun was stunned for a long time.

Then she slowly turned her eyes red, but the corners of her mouth were slightly curled: "What kind of apology are you talking about?" What I know in my heart is that my grandfather and father are willing to be good to you, and they are not asking for it. In fact, I am also unwilling, and I have to get along with myself, so what does it have to do with you? I'm just angry with you. ”

She paused, "Probably you are too much like a sister-in-law, so the people of the Zhou family will never forget to be good to you." In fact, I have thought about it a long time ago, probably they feel sorry for my sister-in-law, and they have extended their feelings for my sister-in-law to you. ”

In fact, this is also the guess that Ruotang feels is closest to the truth. Otherwise, it really doesn't make sense why the Zhou family would be so kind to her.

"Do you think I'm stingy?" At the end, Zhou Liangyun sniffed and asked Ruotang.

"No, it won't." Ruotang replied truthfully, "If it's me, I'll be unhappy." I just don't quite understand, the foundation of the Zhou family is in the south of the Yangtze River, why did I marry my mother alone to the capital far away from the Zhou family at that time? ”

Zhou is the youngest daughter of the Zhou family, and the whole family holds her in the palm of their hands, how can they be willing to marry so far away from the Zhou family? Aren't they worried that the Zhou family will have a bad time?

Such a move is very wrong.

Zhou Liangyun was stunned again, obviously she had never thought about this problem.

"Let's go back and ask my dad." In the end, Zhou Liangyun made a decision.

"Girl, cousin, the officers and soldiers are here." At this time, Cai Qing, who was observing the situation on the battlefield, said.

I don't know who reported to the official, a group of officers and soldiers trotted over, and when the bastards saw that the situation was not good, they whistled and retreated from the hot battlefield, one by one slippery like loaches, and soon disappeared.

In order to protect her, Princess Guoan's people were obviously not as fast as the bastards to retreat, and they were blocked by the officers and soldiers on the spot.

When Princess Guoan came out of the shop, she used her sleeves to cover her face.

Cai Qing still didn't know the identity of Princess Guoan, and happily explained on the spot: "Girl, that stinky woman was slapped in the face, haha, it just hit her in the eye, it's such a big black blue eye, haha, she deserves it, look at her dare to bully people like that!" Girl, look, they have a conflict with the officers and soldiers, and now they are going to be miserable, even the officers and soldiers dare to provoke ......"

Thinking that the officers and soldiers wanted to take them back for questioning, how could Princess Guoan afford to lose this face, so she naturally refused to agree. But he couldn't identify himself, so he clashed with the officers and soldiers.

At this time, I saw a young man who was in a bright state and walked over from the crowd. After a few words of negotiation with the leading officers and soldiers in a low voice, he quickly left with the embarrassed Princess Guoan and her party.

That young man is naturally Baili Wenhan.

I could hear the officers and soldiers asking loudly where the shopkeeper was? Then a fellow came out of it trembling.

Ruotang and Zhou Liangyun saw that the officer and soldier handed a purse to the man, and the team leader left the shop.

The two glanced at each other, hurriedly asked Cai Qing to settle the bill, and walked out of the teahouse together and returned to the ready-to-wear shop.

When the guy saw Zhou Liangyun, he hurriedly greeted him, "Third girl, this is the loss that the group of people just now paid us for." ”

Zhou Liangyun opened the purse, and it was full of bags of golden buns.

Ruotang also glanced at it and said with a smile: "This third prince is really generous. ”

But there is such a girl who causes trouble wherever she goes, Ruotang really wants to know what kind of mood it is like to be a brother who wipes her ass specifically for her.

Zhou Liangyun also accepted the purse unceremoniously, she is a businessman, and it is nature and instinct not to do loss-making business.

Instructed the guys in the store to clean up the store and not open for business in the past few days, in case the rude princess Guoan came to the door again to find trouble.

If the shopkeeper and the guys in Tangguan have no objection to Zhou Liangyun's arrangement, and they don't have the slightest disrespect or contempt for her, a female streamer, they know that Zhou Liangyun really has several brushes when she starts a business.

Ruotang couldn't help but admire her even more.

After settling down, Zhou Liangyun got into Ruotang's carriage.

"My cousin has been in business with her uncles since she was a child?" Ruotang couldn't help but ask curiously.

Zhou Liangyun said with a smile, "The children of the Zhou family, which one of them didn't just learn to settle accounts with an abacus just after being sensible?" I was just a little freer than my sisters, and my grandfather didn't want to tie me down, so I had the opportunity to follow my father and uncles out and learn to do business. ”

Although she was calm on her face, she was still a little more vigilant in her eyes when she looked at Ruotang, as if as long as Ruotang showed a look of contempt for her, she would immediately withdraw her sincerity.

I don't want Ruotang to have the slightest ridicule on his face, but is full of admiration, "It's not easy for my cousin to run the shop decently at a young age." ”

She said, pursing her lips embarrassedly, "Unlike me, I can't eat anything but food." ”

In this way, she really thinks that's the case, in addition to cooking and eating, and accompanying Ah Bai, what else will she do? It's too embarrassing, I think she is a new world** When a woman arrives in this world, she becomes a lazy rice worm.

However, to be able to live the life of rice worms, Ruotang said that she couldn't be more satisfied. A strong woman or something, let the powerful cousin do it.

Zhou Liangyun was a little embarrassed by her praise, "It's not difficult, if my cousin is interested, I can also teach you." You see what kind of shop you want to open, I can help you choose a shop first---- there are a few shops whose lease period has expired and is about to be taken back, if you want it, I will give it first. ”

Ruotang waved his hand, "Forget it, I don't understand anything." ”

She still wants to live a leisurely life of eating, sleeping, eating, and playing with Abai when she has nothing to do.

Besides, she is not short of money, what do she have to work hard to earn money?

"It's not that hard." Zhou Liangyun was enthusiastic, and she had to convince her, "Isn't it for me to help you?" I have been walking around Beijing in the past few days and found that there are very few shops selling imported goods, and the prices are very high. Anyway, Uncle often goes to sea, if we can open a shop specializing in foreign products in Beijing, we have a supply channel, if there is no shortage of goods, business will be very good! ”

Zhou Liangyun talked about business, and her excited eyes were shining.

Ruotang looked at her and asked in a ghostly manner: "Cousin, are you not sure about kissing because you want to do business?" ”

Zhou Liangyun paused, "You can even see this?" ”

After that, he pouted, "What's so good about marrying, just lock up in the back house and teach your husband and children, and you can't even go out easily." ”

After that, he sighed, his expression was slightly gloomy, and he looked at Ruotang as if he was going to pour out the bitter water, "It's not that I haven't discussed kissing, it's just that people in Jiangnan have a little foundation, who doesn't know that I run around like a tomboy." There are also many people who have talked to me about business, you say that a restless daughter-in-law like me, who is willing to want it? Hmph, they're critical of me, and I don't like them yet! Why can't women show their heads, the same is hard work to earn money, where am I inferior to them? ”

Zhou Liangyun said this, her chest rose and fell very strongly, obviously, she didn't really mind other people's opinions at all. It's just that because she can't change it, she simply breaks the jar and breaks it, if she doesn't marry or not, she won't marry yet!

"Those who say that their cousin shows up and is lowly is just because they are not as good as a woman like their cousin, and they are not convinced, so they take advantage of their mouths." Ruotang couldn't help but hold her hand, looked into her eyes, and told her softly but firmly, "If you really care about their jealous words, you will be the way for them." No matter what others think of you, anyway, I think you're pretty good, much better than those girls and young masters who only know how to squander! ”

Zhou Liangyun's eyes widened, as if she couldn't believe her ears---- even her parents felt that she shouldn't show up again, and took her to the capital, but they also felt that the people in the capital didn't know about her in Jiangnan, so they could take the opportunity to marry her off. Even when he came out today, he ran away from his mother secretly. Even her parents began to stop her, but it was this cousin who she didn't like at first who understood her best, how could she not be surprised?

But she is not good at dealing with this kind of emotion, so her expression changed the topic a little stiffly, but her face was red, in order to hide her discomfort, she stared at Ruotang's eyes and said: "That, the opening of the store I told you just now, it was decided first." When the shop is finished, I will inform you to come and see, and if you are not satisfied, you will change it again. ”

Ruotang looked at her businesslike appearance, and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Ouch, her cousin, in addition to being very good at making accidents, turns out to have such a cute side.

Her smile immediately "annoyed" Zhou Liangyun, the little girl was thin-skinned and couldn't hold back, so she pounced on Ruotang's mouth and blushed with shame: "Stinky girl, what are you laughing at?" ”

"Cousin, why are you so cute?" Ruotang dodged and laughed as he grinned.

After such a fuss, the little estrangement between the two quickly dissolved.

……

All the way to Furen Hutong.

The two of them didn't alarm the Qin family, and went straight to the study in the front yard to find Zhou Houqing.

Zhou Houqing saw that Ruotang came with his daughter, and inevitably shushed and asked for warmth, and Ruotang patiently dealt with him.

Seeing that Zhou Houqing had finished caring about everything he should care about, he was about to care about Chu Qianlan, Ruotang was busy with a look at Zhou Liangyun.

After Zhou Liangyun gave her a roll of the eyes, she asked her and Ruotang's questions to her father.

When Zhou Houqing heard this, he looked at the two little faces full of curiosity in front of him, sighed lightly, and said with melancholy and nostalgia: "Actually, this matter is not a secret. But this matter is a thorn in the hearts of your grandfather and the Zhou family, you asked me today, and you can't ask anyone else in the future. ”

After that, he told the events of the past years and the inventory.

"Before the first emperor ascended the throne, there were several years of fighting and civil strife, and the princes and princes fought in the dark. This is not our Zhou family's business, but who called our Zhou family the richest man in Jiangnan? It also takes a lot of money to compete for that position. The Shen family followed the first emperor back then, and the old lady of the Shen family found your grandfather at that time, saying that now the Zhou family is like a fragrant dumpling, and everyone in Beijing is staring at it, and the Zhou family is in danger of being destroyed at any time. At that time, he begged for his son Shen Anbang to marry your little aunt. Your grandfather is naturally very reluctant, but your little aunt and the whole Zhou family, your grandfather still chose the latter. Therefore, your little aunt married into the Shen family in the capital, and the marriage was almost half of the Zhou family's property, not only to compensate your little aunt, but also to divert the attention of those who were staring at the Zhou family at that time. Because the Zhou family caught up with the Shen family, it was equivalent to catching up with the first emperor, and naturally they were classified as the first emperor's party. In those years, the Zhou family had a very difficult time, but fortunately, the civil strife ended soon, and the first emperor ascended the throne, so that the Zhou family could be preserved. But the price of preservation is at the expense of your little aunt......"

Zhou Houqing finished speaking in one breath, and his eyes turned red again.

Ruotang and Zhou Liangyun suddenly realized that it was because of this reason.

The people of the Zhou family feel that they owe it to the Zhou family.

It's just that the Zhou family died, and this compensation and compensation fell on Ruotang.

In this way, the first emperor competed for the throne, and the Zhou family can be said to have contributed a lot. Could it be that it is because of this that the current emperor gave her a bad reputation to Chu Qianlan in marriage, which can be regarded as to repay the kindness of the Zhou family back then?

However, no matter what Ruotang thinks, the current emperor doesn't seem to be the kind of person who knows how to repay his kindness!

Knowing such a secret of the Zhou family, Ruotang returned to the Xiangwang Mansion in a daze.

Seriously, although the Zhou family is a collection of thousands of favors, she is just a poor woman.

……

The next day, Princess Guoan's battle post was sent to the Xiangwang Mansion.

"She wants me to take part in a hunting competition? Crazy. Ruotang casually threw away the post and lay comfortably on Ah Bai, "Even if it's not hot, you should think about the mosquitoes, rats and ants in the forest." In the summer, you should stay in a cool room and eat and sleep, and sleep and eat. ”

Since Cai Qing learned from her own girl that the unruly woman who smashed Zhou Liangyun's shop was Princess Guoan, her impression of this person was simply low, and she pouted when she heard this: "I'll go back to her." ”

I thought that this matter would be settled, but I didn't want a holy decree to fall into Ruotang's hands defenselessly in the evening.

sent away the inner eunuch of the decree, Ruotang pinched the holy decree and gritted his teeth secretly, then the princess of Guoan is really good at it, and she can actually ask for the emperor's holy decree.

Damn, didn't she have to go to the jungle on a hot day to suffer?

Cai Qing also said angrily on the side: "Why is this princess so cheeky, you have already rejected her, and she still refuses to give up!" According to me, girl, you just take Ah Bai with you, and when the time comes, release Ah Bai, scare her to death, and see if she dares to find your fault in the future! "It's ironic.

Ah Bai, who was already able to enter and leave the Qingqiu Courtyard freely, heard this, and immediately shook its big tail and rubbed it over.

Obviously, it was eager to lift its limbs in favor of Caiqing's suggestion.

Ruotang was also a little tempted when he saw it like this, but he ----, "Ah Bai is too big, no carriage can fit it." ”

"What's so hard about that?" Cai Qing puffed up his chest and said: "We have money, so it's not difficult for people to make a big carriage out immediately." ”

Ruotang looked at Cai Qing's rich and coaxing appearance, couldn't help but squint and laugh, and finally nodded under Ah Bai's urging licking: "Okay, this matter will be handed over to Cai Qing's general manager." The day after tomorrow, we will take Prince A Bai to let off steam, and by the way, scare to death the princess of Guoan who has nothing to look for! ”

……

The night before the hunting competition, Chu Qianlan came to Qingqiu Courtyard for the first time, and asked Ruotang unceremoniously as soon as she came: "What trouble have you caused to this king again?" ”

Where would Ruotang tell him what happened in the ready-to-wear shop, and pretended to be aggrieved: "The concubine stayed in the Qingqiu Courtyard all day and night, and didn't go anywhere." I'm afraid that at the palace banquet last time, Princess Guoan still resented me for winning her, so she targeted the concubine everywhere. ”

Chu Qianlan snorted coldly, "Crested Mountain has many trees and dense forests, it is the best place to kill people and destroy corpses, so you can ask for more blessings!" ”

Please, this king, come and save you!

"Resign yourself to fate," Ruotang stared at her toes dejectedly, she hadn't done anything bad in her two lives, I guess God wouldn't have killed her again and again.

Besides, she will carry the big killer weapon of Ah Bai.

But this matter, he can't tell this pervert for the time being, otherwise what if he doesn't allow her to take Ah Bai out of the house?

At that time, she will really call the heavens and the earth unspiritual!

So, don't tell him about it! As for the future, whether he is thunderous or angry, he will leave it until she comes back alive!

"Actually, it's not impossible." Don't ask for this king yet!

"Forget it, let's talk about it then." Ruotang resisted the urge to yawn: "It's late at night, the prince should rest early." ”

didn't wait for a response for a long time, Ruotang looked up, and a handsome face like the bottom of a pot was glaring at her fiercely.

Ruotang was suffocated, it's over, what is this pervert going crazy again? What did she say wrong?

Without waiting for her to think back to Fang Cai's conversation, Chu Qianlan smoked her handsome face, snorted coldly and walked away! a-????
