Chapter 224: Outside the Second Gate



Zhou Nianjun wrote several letters to the Hou Ye. handed it to Xiao Yao, got up and stretched, and when he turned around, he saw Xiao Yao smiling the bookshelf sullenly, so he asked with a smile, "What's wrong with you today?" Who messed with you? ”

Xiao Yao said in a sullen voice: "No one has messed with me!" After a pause, he pouted and said, "Master Zhou, I heard that the third young master chose two other girls for you, and quietly ran to take a look, they all looked stupid!" It's better to be Chunying! It's all that girl who doesn't know what to do, otherwise ......" stopped talking and lowered her head.

Most of the time he wants to go with Zhou Nian, those two girls know that they are not blessed to be aunts just by looking at their appearances, do they want to match him in the future? ! Oh my God! Although he is a small guy, he is also looking forward to marrying a beautiful daughter-in-law!

Zhou Nian was stunned and smiled faintly: "Chunying has her own creation, and I am also happy for her, what are you talking nonsense here?" Originally, Chunying had the idea of leaving the country, and he had already known it, but now he feels a little regretful at most, and he can't do his part for Chunying, but he has no complaints in his heart. He looked at the weather outside and smiled, "You have time to think nonsense here." It's better to go out and hang out, I don't need you here. ”

Young people always love to play, and Xiao Yao regained his spirit when he heard it, and ran away in a hurry. Zhou Nian smiled, and then took a stack of letters to find Hou Ye and asked him to show him.

Only then did he walk to the porch of the outer study, through the window, he heard voices in the room, one of them seemed to be Fan Zhifang, the third master of the Fan family, knowing that it was the Hou Ye who was meeting the guests, it was inconvenient to disturb, and he was about to turn back, but a voice that spoke next stopped his steps.

The man said: "It's an old acquaintance, why should Li Hou refuse people thousands of miles away?" ”

Zhou Nian held his breath, approached the window lightly, looked in through the pane, and saw three people sitting opposite each other in the room, except for Hou Ye and Fan San, he remembered the other person's face clearly, it was an official of Taishi Liang's faction, wearing a casual dress. Zhou Nian was shocked in his heart, this person has always been the opposite of Qingguohou, why did he come to visit?!

Hou Ye said lightly in the house: "Don't dare, it's just that I have always been rarely in contact, and today I was flattered by the sudden arrival of the honorable driver in the cold house." ”

Fan Zhifang saw that the scene was a little embarrassing, and hurriedly said: "Today is a private visit by a friend. Don't talk about state affairs, only about personal feelings. He approached Master Hou again: "Brother-in-law, don't be annoyed, listen to him finish talking first." ”

The guest smiled: "Thank you, Brother Fan." Li Hou, in fact, I also know that the two of us ...... In the past, there was not much harmony, but now it is not as good as it used to be. Now the court and the central government are controlled by Liu and Qi, and we have put aside those who have worked hard, and we have to complain, but the Taishi still refuses. I, He Wanze, Fang Qian, and General Shantai are all half disheartened, and we have to find another way out. Brother Fan and I met by chance a month ago, and we were quite compatible with each other's temperaments, and I was even more fortunate to be able to visit Li Hou, and I also asked Lord Li Hou to have a large number of them, and forgive me. Then he stood up and bowed.

Hou Ye was amused when he heard it, so he had to help him get up and glanced at his brother-in-law: "Brother Xu is serious, since Brother Zhifang has come forward, why should I be reasonable?" There was some displeasure in his eyes.

Fan Zhifang didn't care. Instead, he approached his brother-in-law with a smile and said, "Brother-in-law, don't be annoyed." In the past, you and I were worried about the affairs of the fleet, but now with Brother Xu, it is just right. His in-laws are now serving in the inner court, and they can just talk about this matter, Brother He and Brother Fang, are all capable ministers of the household department, and have taken care of Nanyang affairs. These people are all from a wealthy family, and they have admired Nanyang scenery for a long time, but because the emperor is not trusted by the emperor, they have not had the opportunity to see, if we can get a few of them to help, the few things that my brother-in-law worried about before will not be a problem! ”

Hou Ye sighed secretly in his heart, it seems that the brother-in-law is determined to win the original fleet of the Huo family, and it is not good for him not to help, but these people can't be fully trusted, I just hope that the brother-in-law will not be confused in order to achieve the goal.

As soon as he inadvertently looked up, he suddenly saw Zhou Nian standing outside the window, looking at him in a daze, worried that the other party would get into trouble if he was seen by the official surnamed Xu, so he made a gesture towards Zhou Nian while people were not paying attention, signaling the other party to leave immediately. Seeing that the other party didn't move, he glared anxiously.

Zhou Nian only felt cold outside the window, and saw that Hou Ye and the two of them were talking happily, his heart became heavier and heavier, he understood that Hou Ye wanted to leave by himself, so he had to retreat into the room according to his words, only to feel that the sky was dark.

Hou Ye and the officials of the Liang faction are obviously hostile, could it be that for the sake of a Nanyang fleet, can they put aside the merits? ! The Marquis of Qingguo's Mansion obviously also has a fleet! The so-called interests are really that important? Because he was afraid of bad things for him, he sent him away casually, he was in the Hou Mansion, what is the matter?!

The more Zhou Nian thought about it, the more depressed he became, so he simply threw away the pen and paper, walked outside, and came to the vicinity of the second gate, and bumped into a servant woman coming and going, only to realize where he had been.

What's the use of being uncomfortable? If he is not rehabilitated for a day, he can only rely on the Hou Mansion, no matter what the Hou Ye does, he can only admit it!

Laughing self-deprecatingly. Zhou Nian was listless and about to walk back, but when he heard a rush of footsteps, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl pounced out of the second door, grabbed a small guy waiting in front of the door, pulled it aside, and said urgently: "Go home and report the news!" Mrs. is going to beat your tenth sister! and Chunying of the Lu family, who is going to suffer a big crime! Go find someone to help! ”

Zhou Nian and the little guy were startled, and the former hurriedly walked a few steps closer to hear what was going on. The little guy hurriedly asked, "What's going on?!" Isn't the tenth sister on an errand in the Third Young Master's courtyard? Why is my wife going to beat her?! And the sister of the Lu family hasn't entered the house recently, what mistake did she make?! ”

"I can't tell you clearly, it was Sister Peony who ordered me to come. It is said that someone put eye medicine in front of his wife, but I don't know why. is aimed at Shi'er and Chunying, and there may be things mixed with the Huo family's shop. Mrs. is very angry, she will not spare them easily, let alone dozens of boards, after a meal, is there still life?! You go and find someone, don't ask the Wang family to ask for it yourself, otherwise it will only add fuel to the fire. If you know which steward, or the older generation of grandmothers, can speak in front of the wife, it is the best. The Lu family also has to report a letter. Hurry up! It's time for Mrs. Hui to call the board! ”

The little guy hurriedly crawled away, Yahuan turned around in a hurry, Zhou Nian looked left and right, anxious and helpless. He was worried that Chunying would be beaten, and wanted to save people, but he didn't know how to save them, he wanted to turn around and beg Hou Ye, but he remembered that Hou Ye was meeting a guest, and that guest was still half of his enemy, and people were discussing "big things", he recklessly crashed into it, what is it? Suddenly, I remembered that since the girl had called another girl's family to beg, Chunying's father was also a steward, and he thought that he was also decent in the Hou Mansion and would be able to speak, so he hurriedly went out of the gate.

Turning to the back street, he saw from a distance that the previous little guy had entered a big courtyard, and had lived here for a few years, and he also recognized a few doors, knowing that it was where the Wang family lived, but he didn't see the little guy come out, suspecting that the other party had forgotten the end of the Lu family, and hurriedly walked to the door of the Lu family. Seeing that the lock had fallen on his head, he was so anxious that he stomped his feet: "Why is it so unfortunate?!" But there is no one in his house! Could it be that Chunying can't be saved?! ”

"What's wrong with Chunying?" A male voice came from behind him, Zhou Nian turned around and saw that it was a descendant with some dark skin, his eyes stared straight at him, he hesitated a little: "Your Excellency is ......"

"Under the surname Hu, Hu Wangshan was originally a friend of the Lu family." Hu Fei took a few steps forward, didn't care about anything else, and asked directly, "Mr. just said that Chunying can't be saved, what's going on?!" ”

Zhou Nian saw that the gloom in his eyes was true, and hurriedly said all the words he heard: "I saw that the little guy only went to the Wang family to report the news, and never came, so he came straight away, but Chunying's family is not there, what should I do?!" ”

Hu Fei frowned: "If the Wang family can save their daughter, they will naturally save Chunying, and there is no reason to let one person go, but punish another." That's it, but it's still unknown whether the Wang family can work. He stared at Zhou Nian, looked up and down, and already knew in his heart: "Mr. is Zhou Gongzi?" I once heard Chunying mention it. Since Gongzi Zhou has the heart to save Chunying, why don't you go directly to the master of the Hou Mansion to intercede?! Isn't Childe a friend of the Hou Mansion? You only need to say a word, will the Hou Mansion still embarrass a little girl?! ”

Zhou Nian was stunned, and a wry smile appeared on his face: "World friends? I'm just a hard-working person with no roots and no foundation...... "If Li You was at home, he might still be able to speak, but now...... He sighed secretly and said, "Master Hou is seeing a guest...... It was his in-laws, and there were other guests, who were discussing important matters. I...... My identity can't rush straight in, not to mention that Hou Ye has always cared about the affairs of the inner house, even if he opened his mouth, it was ...... "If it was before, he might think that Hou Ye paid a little attention to himself, but now?" Where does he still have this self-confidence?!

Hu Fei frowned: "In-laws? But the third master of the Fan family?! Zhou Nian looked surprised: "How did Your Excellency know?!" ”

Hu Fei didn't answer, but continued to ask, "Who else is the distinguished guest?" What is the important thing to discuss? Zhou Nianyi frowned and kept silent.

Hu Fei smiled coldly: "I heard that the Fan family has been thinking about the Nanyang fleet recently, could it be for this?!" Zhou Nian was taken aback: "Who is Your Excellency?!" "How could he have guessed everything?!

Hu Fei pinched his cuffs, and the letter he had just received was there. If what the letter says is true, most of the things planned by the Hou Mansion and the Fan family will not succeed, and they will make a big mistake because of this! And he has a sixty percent chance of getting the status and wealth he dreams of. Qing Guohou is really crazy to get into this muddy water, does he think that the one above doesn't know anything?! Fortunately, there are still saints, and there is another daughter who is Princess Jing, I think there is no danger and will not endanger Chunying's parents, but now that Chunying is in danger, how can he save it? !

After thinking about it, he still grabbed Zhou Nian: "You are very clear about the affairs of the Hou Mansion, right?" How can I dispel Mrs. Hou's thoughts? Rescue Chunying?! ”

Zhou Nian smiled bitterly: "Although I don't know what the reason is, but that lady's temperament is ...... If the people around her could persuade her, they would have been persuaded a long time ago, and if they couldn't be persuaded, only the old lady, the Hou Ye and the third young master could stop her. But the old lady is sick in bed, and she has been out of office for many days, the Hou Ye is seeing guests, and the third young master is out of the house again, I ...... I can't think about it. ”

Hu Fei only gritted his teeth with hatred: "I can't think about it!" Since no one else can do it, you can only ask the Hou Ye! Don't talk about internal and external affairs, he is the master of this house! You are a friend of his family, and you will be able to persuade him! ”

Zhou Nian was stunned, was he? Can he still be regarded as a friend of the Hou Mansion? Can you really persuade the Hou Ye?

When Hu Fei saw him like this, he angrily threw him away: "It's like you who are looking forward and backward, hesitating, no number of lives can be saved!" That's it, I don't need you, I'll go on my own! Then he turned around and ran to the courtyard of the Wang family, secretly touched the sleeve, and gritted his teeth: It's a big deal, he threw out the biggest chips, and he didn't believe that he couldn't save people!

Zhou Nian saw him running to the door of the Wang family and said a few words to the Wang family, so he hurried towards the direction of the mansion gate, feeling ashamed in his heart, what was he hesitating about? ! When Chunying saved herself, she didn't think about it so much!

He took a deep breath and was determined to go straight to the study and beg the Hou Ye to intervene to save people. When he walked into the main gate of the Hou Mansion, he heard the sound of horses' hooves coming urgently, and subconsciously turned around to look, only to see Dianran getting off the horse quickly and running towards him: "Master Zhou! Come with me to King Jing's Mansion! The third young master ordered me to take you quickly, your family's lawsuit is in trouble! Dali Temple rejected the complaint! ”

Zhou Nian shook his body and grabbed his sleeve in disbelief: "What did you say?!" ”

(Ahem, I didn't mean to antagonize people...... )。.。
