Chapter 317 of the version The sky is quite blue

Ye Bincheng was startled: "You, what are you doing?!"

Zhou Nian grabbed his collar tightly, stared at him, and after a while, he let go and smiled faintly: "I think I really indulge you too much, I always think that you are my only remaining relatives, and I have suffered so many years outside, so I want to make your life better, I have never refuted you for half a sentence, nor have I moved a finger of you, but I didn't expect you to be satisfied, and your words have lost proportion."

"Who's out of proportion?!" Ye Bincheng tilted his neck unconvinced, "Shouldn't you be nice to us?!" Phew! When we were suffering in Yazhou, when my mother and my eldest sister were seriously ill and died, you were eating and drinking well in the capital and living a comfortable life.

Zhou Nian stared at him coldly, but he didn't speak. Ye Bincheng was flustered by his staring, but he was unwilling to retreat, still pulling his neck: "What? Am I not right?! Where am I worse than you? Why should our brothers and sisters suffer like that, but you #x2027; #x2027; #x2027; #x2027; #x2027; #x2027;」

"Brother!" Ye Xiuzhen hurriedly ran out of the house and stopped her brother's words, "Don't say anything, thanks to my cousin, we can return to the capital." Now that my cousin is still taking care of us everywhere, how can you say such a thing?!"

Ye Bincheng pouted: "You know how to help him speak!" I don't see anyone thinking of you!" Ye Xiuzhen's cheeks were crimson, and she stomped her feet and said, "Brother!"

Zhou Nian silently walked into the house and said, "Uncle Zhou, Aunt Zhou, you can drive the carriage to send the packed things to the new house first, and I will let Sanqing clean up the rest."

Helping in the house was the family member Zhou Linxia and his wife, who had been taking care of the small village for many years, until a few years ago, they were connected to the little master, and now they are naturally back to continue to serve. The husband and wife also heard the dispute between the cousins, and when they heard Zhou Nian's instructions, they responded with great eyes, put down the work in their hands, washed their hands, and walked out the door. It's just that when passing by the Ye family brothers and sisters, Zhou Linxia glanced at Ye Bincheng with some disgust, and then went out to get in the car.

Sanqing closed the door and stood outside. Ye Bincheng looked a little flustered, stared at himself, and asked Zhou Nian, "What are you doing?!" Ye Xiuzhen also looked worried: "Cousin, if you have something to say, let's #x2027; #x2027; #x2027; #x2027; #x2027; #x2027; Isn't it a family?"

"The Zhou family is the Zhou family, the Ye family is the Ye family, when did the two families become a family?" Zhou Nian sat on a chair in the room and looked up at the two siblings.

Ye Xiuzhen's face turned pale, Ye Xiuzhen's face turned black, and she sneered, "Is this to draw a line with us?!" I'm telling you, no way! This is the #x2027 you owe us; #x2027; #x2027; #x2027; #x2027; #x2027;」

"The Zhou family has never owed the Ye family!" Zhou Nian stared at them without flinching—this time, he really couldn't retreat anymore, "I don't owe you the slightest debt to myself! Even if you were still young and didn't know the ins and outs of the elders' cases, didn't your aunt mention it all these years?! When you lived in the village, Uncle Zhou didn't mention it?! Although my father remembered the way of being a minister and a friend, he wrote a letter to defend his uncle and stop the fallacy of the first emperor, thus causing trouble, but everything started because of my uncle's careless words! At that time, the ministers who wrote against the abolition of the first emperor were not the only uncles? But he was the first to be sent down! In this way, it is the Ye family that has affected the Zhou family! But I have seen you so far, and I have not mentioned a word, do you think I know nothing about this?!"

Ye Bincheng's face turned pale again, but he was a little flustered: "You #x2027; #x2027; #x2027; #x2027; #x2027; #x2027; What do you mean by that?! #x2027; #x2027; #x2027; #x2027; #x2027; #x2027; Do you still have to settle accounts with us?! You know, we're #x2027; #x2027; #x2027; #x2027; #x2027; #x2027; But you're the only relative!"

Zhou Nian slowed down his tone slightly: "Yes, it is precisely because in my heart that you are my only remaining relatives, so I indulge you everywhere, understand that you are young, you suffered a catastrophe, grew up in that poor and remote place, endured countless hardships, finally overturned the case, and took back to the capital, and now my family has been rehabilitated, and it is better than yours, as long as I can do it, I will try my best to compensate you."

"Then what are you trying to do with this shelf?!" Ye Bincheng's tone hardened again, but Ye Xiuzhen was still tugging at his sleeve uneasily, trying to stop him from talking any further.

Zhou Nian stared at him again: "Although I hope to compensate you, that doesn't mean that I really owe you!" I am no better off than you. To tell you the truth, although my uncle unfortunately died, my uncle and a few of your brothers and sisters all went to the penal colony safely, although my aunt and cousin died later, but you still have a sister! Now there is my cousin who is willing to take care of everything. And me?! Both parents died, and my sister committed suicide. I am the only one left in the whole family, except for the Li family, where is there a relative?! Do you think I've been living comfortably in the past 18 years in Beijing?! At the end of the year, I can't see a few people, and if it weren't for Sanqing, I wouldn't even have anyone to talk to! But whenever someone approaches, I don't even dare to breathe, and only dare to come out at night to breathe, and live like #x2027; #x2027; #x2027; #x2027; #x2027; #x2027; Like a rat in the gutter! I also have to be worried anytime and anywhere, in case I am discovered by outsiders, once I showed my whereabouts, I was immediately found by the enemy, and I was almost burned alive, even the Hou Ye couldn't protect me! Although you are far away in Yazhou, at least you can talk if you want to, you can see the sun if you want to see the sun, and you have relatives to accompany you, what do I have?!"

Speaking of the latter, he was so excited that he stood up, and when he recalled those years, he couldn't help but redden: "Don't say anything about my mother and sister who don't need to die, but they can't see it. Xiuzhen's cousin just called a military attache in Yazhou to occupy him as a concubine, and his cousin couldn't stand it, if you were me, would I still be able to endure the days when my mother and sister were sent to the sect division?! They are relieved to die early!"

Ye Xiuzhen's body shook, and her face was as white as paper. She had had fantasies, but now it turns out that her cousin had always known. It's right to think about it, it was the people from the Hou Mansion who took their brothers and sisters into Beijing, and they were also the ones who negotiated with their husbands before leaving, how could the cousin of the Zhou family not know? She silently left two lines of tears, only to feel that the future was dark.

Ye Bincheng calmed down instead, and sneered, "I know, you actually complained about us in your heart for a long time, thinking that it was our father who harmed your family. I was only six years old, how did I know that? Now what you say, I will naturally listen. Since you have spoken out, I will not be cheeky to continue to stay here, is it possible that there is no place for our brothers and sisters in the world?!" After a pause, he said louder and louder, "I know you look down on my sister, and think that we are helpless and can't help you. You go and hug the thighs of the Marquis of Qingguo, maybe they will marry the young lady to you!"

Zhou Nian wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and his face was expressionless: "These words are so unreasonable, your family can be rehabilitated, and I have also contributed, whether it was to take you into Beijing and let you recuperate in the village, or to take you to live a few days ago, or now I have bought a new house and moved you over together, I have never disliked you in the slightest." It's just that there are some things I have to say first." He sat down upright again, staring at the Ye family brothers and sisters with his eyes: "I have today, it is given by Uncle Li and Li You, the Marquis of Qingguo, and it is also the holy benevolence. I will never turn my back on them for the rest of my life. I can't make the decision about my marriage myself, no matter what you think, my future prospect has been set for me, and all I can do is do my best.

It's just that no matter how hard I try, only the reputation of the Zhou family can be revitalized, and the family business of the Ye family depends on your brothers and sisters to fight for it. In any case, there is no reason for my Zhou family to win glory for your Ye family!"

Ye Bincheng couldn't help but take a step back: "You #x2027; #x2027; #x2027; #x2027; #x2027; #x2027; Anyway, you just think we're holding you back! What are you talking about the Ye family and the Zhou family, it was obvious that you said that we are a family, and we will live together in the future, otherwise we would still be raised in the village!"

Zhou Nian just said in a deep voice, "Could it be that Zhuangzi is not from the Zhou family? When I said that we were a family, I really treated you as younger brothers and sisters, but now it seems that it is too indulgent, and it has delayed you. Although I didn't have a good time here, I didn't miss reading, and my cousin in Bincheng had already learned a thousand words, right? Have you ever read a sentence in the two years since you returned to Beijing? Uncle Zhou told me, you don't do anything serious except hanging out all day long, how will you do scientific research in the future?! You were rehabilitated two years earlier than me, didn't you think about it at all?! Since I am a brother, I cannot watch you continue to waste your time! When you get to the new house, from tomorrow onwards, you get up early to memorize a chapter of books, practice 500 words a day, first memorize the four books and five classics, and when I pass the children's examination, I will invite a gentleman for you, whether it is ten years, or twenty years, or thirty years, you must at least get a name for yourself!"

Ye Bincheng said in a panic, "You #x2027; #x2027; #x2027; #x2027; #x2027; #x2027; You're bullying! I haven't touched it in more than ten years and lost #x2027; #x2027; #x2027; #x2027; #x2027; #x2027;」

"Your Ye family has been scholarly for generations, and your uncle was still a second-class jinshi back then! I haven't touched a book for more than ten years, and you're embarrassed to talk about this kind of book?!" Zhou Nian seemed to have finally regained his brother's prestige, "Don't want to continue messing around! As long as I speak, no one in the whole family will give you a little money, let alone the Hou Mansion, Hou Ye and Brother You don't want to see you, and when you go outside, you can't play the slightest prestige. If I let me know that you have left your homework and gone out to mess around, I would rather break your leg than let you disgrace my uncle's family! When you get fame, you can move wherever you like, and I don't care about you!"

After saying that, he flicked his sleeves, turned around to leave, and suddenly caught a glimpse of Ye Xiuzhen's teary-eyed appearance, Zhou Nian paused, didn't look at her, just said lightly: "After moving to the new house, my cousin changed into a woman's dress, and just said that she was widowed at home. I will find an honest reading family for my cousin, #x2027 in the future; #x2027; #x2027; #x2027; #x2027; #x2027; Let's just think the past is a dream, and live in peace." After saying that, he suddenly felt relaxed in his heart, his parents and sister were in the spirit of the sky, and they also hoped that he would live a peaceful life, right? They don't want him to be caught up in these mundane things and live in the mire.

Maybe his future life has been decided, maybe what he wants, he will never get it, but #x2027; #x2027; #x2027; #x2027; #x2027; #x2027; He will try his best to make himself live a little better and happier, even if it is just to comfort his parents and relatives under the fountain #x2027; #x2027; #x2027; #x2027; #x2027; #x2027;

Ye Xiuzhen watched him open the courtyard and walk out, without looking back at herself at all, and couldn't help crying sadly. But Ye Bincheng was at a loss. Are you talking too much? Why, Cousin Zhou, who was originally pinched by himself, changed his previous docility and became so tough? It's not like his usual #x2027 at all; #x2027; #x2027; #x2027; #x2027; #x2027; I just said a sour thing about that girl, why #x2027; #x2027; #x2027; #x2027; #x2027; #x2027; I completely changed my attitude?!

Sanqing stood outside the door, silently guarding, not letting anyone approach, and avoiding people from hearing the conversation in the courtyard. Zhou Nian came out and instructed him, "Put the rest of the boxes in the car, let's go." Unintentionally lowered his head, but caught a glimpse of Sanqing holding a grasshopper made of straw in his hand, he couldn't help but be stunned, wanting to say something, but after all, the words turned into a smile: "Hurry up, let's go home early."

Sanqing grinned, nodded his head, carefully took the grasshopper into his arms, and moved the rest of the luggage.

Zhou Nian smiled bitterly and looked at the children who were screaming in fright when he accidentally saw Sanqing's grin at the entrance of the alley, looked up at the sky, took a deep breath, and suddenly felt that the sky was actually quite blue today.

Chun Ying didn't know anything about what happened in the Zhou family's courtyard. She chatted happily with Shi'er, and was even more amazed by Shi'er's large appetite.

Shi'er rolled his eyes and said, "Idiot, I'm eating for two people now, so naturally I can't compare it with when I was alone before. Discuss how much you eat, and after an hour, you will inevitably be hungry again! Do you think I want to eat so much?! Isn't this hungry?!"

"Okay, you eat, you eat, and the child can be raised?! Chunying coaxed her, "But don't eat too much, especially in the last two or three months, lest the child be too big to give birth, and you will have to suffer!"

Shi'er took a sip of her, "Where did you hear these words? I'm not ashamed!"

Chunying said that she heard about it in modern times, so she had to say, "My sister also gave birth, and this was all mentioned when she talked to her mother. In short, you should not be wrong to ask more experienced grandmothers."

After laughing, Chunying remembered that Shi'er was about to give birth, and she hadn't even married yet, and the groom didn't know when she would come back, so she couldn't help sighing.

Shi'er munched on a snack and asked her, "What are you sighing for?" Is it #x2027; #x2027; #x2027; #x2027; #x2027; #x2027; She smiled, "Could it be that I remembered your little brother?!"

Chun Ying blushed and defended, "What nonsense?! How could I think of him?! I'm #x2027; #x2027; #x2027; #x2027; #x2027; #x2027; I'm #x2027; #x2027; #x2027; #x2027; #x2027; #x2027;」 Looking at Shi'er's playful gaze, he had an idea, "I'm worried about my uncle's business!" said what Aunt Xu mentioned, and added the good scene that her uncle and aunt played in their house.

The more Shi'er listened, the more she laughed, and exclaimed: "It's really a good show! Now the best troupe in the capital can't do such a wonderful show!"

Chun Ying glanced at her: "People are almost annoyed to death, you are still talking cool here!"

Shi'er sneered, "What's so difficult about this? I'll tell you a way to make sure you have your heart."

Chunying blinked and asked in surprise, "Really?!" What's the idea?!"
