Chapter 314: First Meeting of the Zhou Family

Zhou Da hurriedly waved his hand: "Where, although Xia Guan is fortunate to also have the surname Zhou, he really doesn't have much to do with the Zhou family, if you want to talk about the relationship, at most, it is also from a Zhou surname." ”

After speaking, he carefully paid attention to Baili Junyi and Shen Ninghua's expressions, but found that Shen Ninghua seemed to be just asking casually, and after listening to him, he lost interest and continued to wander around the garden.

After a general look, Baili Junyi nodded: "This courtyard is excellent, Lord Zhou, you go and ask the Zhou family of this charity, how much silver taels does this king need to spend if he wants to buy the courtyard." ”

"It is the honor of the Zhou family that the prince can use this garden, how dare he collect money?" Zhou Da hurriedly refused.

Baili Junyi glanced at him, and said with a smile: "Lord Zhou is not from the Zhou family, how can he represent the meaning of the Zhou family, let's go and ask." ”

"This ...... Yes, yes, the prince of the county is kind from the bottom of his heart, and the lower officials will definitely help you inquire as soon as possible. ”

"Hmm."

led the two to the backyard, Zhou Da said with interest: "The prince of the county, the princess of the county, the two of them are tired of traveling, the lower officials dare not continue to disturb, and ask the two of them to rest first, and wait until tomorrow, the lower officials will hold a welcome banquet for the prince and the princess, I don't know if there is an honor to invite the prince and the princess." ”

Baili Junyi nodded: "I just came to Zhoucheng, and I have the opportunity to meet the officials here to participate, by the way, you said that the Zhou family is a famous benevolent family, and the officials who want to come to Zhoucheng also know the Zhou family, so invite the Zhou family to meet as well." ”

"Yes, yes, the lower officials must have informed them that the Zhou family is really fortunate in their lives, and they have waited for such a rare opportunity."

"Well, you guys should step back first."

When Zhou Da left, Baili Junyi ordered the guards to carefully inspect the courtyard, let them take turns to stay and rest, and accompany Shen Ninghua to see the resting courtyard.

This courtyard is called Baihuayuan, and many precious flowers and plants are planted in it, which are blooming in the cold of autumn, and at a glance the exquisite houses seem to be built on a sea of flowers, which is beautiful and amazing.

Shen Ninghua, who was indifferent, couldn't help but show a hint of shock, and exclaimed: "It's really a good yard, and it looks painstaking." ”

Baili Junyi smiled: "It is indeed intentional." Let's go, go in and see if it's even more amazing inside the house. ”

Shen Ninghua smiled and nodded, as he walked into the room with the path, as soon as he pushed open the door, he felt a burst of elegant floral fragrance, the room was arranged in a particularly elegant manner, with a lot of fresh flowers, looking at it had a warm and comfortable feeling.

"It seems that the family really put their heart into it this week."

"Yes, then we have to thank the Zhou family at the banquet."

After checking that there was no movement in the room, Shen Ninghua asked the grandmother to bring the boss and Xiaobao in.

The boss and Xiaobao were already awake, and at this time they were looking around with their big eyes open, and when they saw the brightly colored flowers, they happily stretched out their hands to take them.

Shen Ninghua suddenly frowned, and took Xiaobao from the grandmother's hand: "You clean up all the flowers here, leave some in the courtyard outside, and clean up all the others." ”

Baili Junyi hurriedly spoke out when he heard this, and his eyebrows were dyed with a hint of fierceness: "What's wrong Ning Hua, but what's wrong?" ”

Shen Ninghua thought about it and shook his head:

"I just saw Xiaobao want to get those flowers, I remembered, the flowers placed here and the flowers in the yard are the same colorful, strong fragrance, for us nothing, but for the children are not necessarily beneficial, they are still too young, the strong fragrance of flowers seems to stimulate a lot, plus the pollen that is constantly drifting, and the flowers attract bees, butterflies, in short, or clear away."

Baili Jun's eyebrows moved slightly, and he muttered in a low voice: "This is a coincidence? ”

There was no real problem with this courtyard, and it didn't make sense to say that someone had deliberately arranged to murder his child, but if it was a coincidence, he always felt that it wasn't the case.

Because of the large number of guards brought, soon the flowers in the yard were almost cleaned up, and Shen Ninghua ordered someone to open the window to ventilate the wind before putting the two children on the bed that Bai Wei had re-made.

The two villains ate and slept well, tossing back and forth on the bed, Bai Wei and Hongling hurriedly stayed by the side and did not dare to leave.

Because of the tiring travel in the past few days, Shen Ninghua slept until the sun was high and he woke up. When he opened his eyes, he saw Baili Junyi holding Xiaobao in one hand and blocking the boss with the other to prevent them from crawling to his side.

The two children's faces were flushed, and they kept panting quietly, obviously for a long time.

Seeing Shen Ninghua wake up, Xiaobao was the first to cry out in surprise: "Ah! ”

Baili Junyi's forehead was sweating, and when he saw Shen Ninghua wake up, he finally let go of the hand blocking the boss: "Ninghua, are you awake?" ”

Shen Ninghua nodded, got up and looked at them, and wondered, "What are you guys tossing about?" ”

Baili Junyi reached out and patted the boss's buttocks, watched him crawl onto Shen Ninghua's lap with neat movements, lying on it and laughing proudly, and couldn't help pinching his nose:

"It's not these two little guys, they woke up early in the morning, and they all had to crawl to you, and I stopped them, but they were well-behaved, and they seemed to know that they couldn't wake you up, so they just crawled hard, and they didn't make a sound, I was afraid that they would disturb your rest, so I stopped them."

Shen Ninghua couldn't help laughing, hugged the boss and kissed him, and then leaned over and kissed Xiaobao again: "It's really a good baby, so I know that I feel sorry for my mother." ”

"Ahh

"Yikes!"

The two children rolled on the bed with a grin, and after a while they climbed aside to play with themselves.

Baili Junyi got up and got dressed, and took Shen Ninghua's shirt over: "Zhou Da has already sent an invitation here, and invited us to the banquet in the afternoon." ”

"Hmm. He always talks about the Zhou family, and I am also very curious in my heart, so I will see it today. ”

Baili Junyi smiled: "The Zhou family is indeed a famous benevolent family, at least I sent someone out to ask, and no one has said that the Zhou family is bad." ”

"Oh? It's not strange that a family has a good reputation, but if everyone thinks it's good, it must be something that has been done to benefit the country and the people, and what special actions has the Zhou family made? ”

"I don't know much about this, but I heard that Zhou Jiale is kind and charitable, donates a lot of poor students, and also helps many neighbors and villagers."

Shen Ninghua raised his eyes slightly, and a hint of interest flashed in his eyes: "Since this is the case, then I really have to get to know each other." ”

Not long after they had lunch, Bai Wei came to communicate: "Lord Wang, Miss, Lord Zhou has come to ask for a meeting." ”

Baili Junyi responded: "Invite him to sit in the flower hall first, and say that we will be there later." ”

Shen Ninghua told Bai Wei and Hongling to take care of the two children, and left with Qingque after dressing up.

The banquet was set up in the most famous Qilin Garden in Zhoucheng, it is said that it is a place where students gather and communicate on weekdays, and hundreds of students come here to exchange views and discuss knowledge, which is particularly lively.

Because there is a banquet today, this place will be closed two days in advance, and it will only be open today.

Shen Ninghua got out of the car with Baili Junyi, and saw the three words of Qilin Yuan hanging above the gate, and appreciated it in his heart.

Zhou Da bowed forward: "The prince and princess of the county, please." ”

The others came to Qilin Garden early in the morning to wait, and when they heard the announcement, they hurriedly quieted down, and saluted respectfully to Baili Junyi and the two.

"I've seen the King of Yijun and the princess of the county."

"Excuse me."

Zhou Da led the two to the first seat and sat down, and everyone dared to get up, standing with their heads down and an attitude of being extremely respectful.

Baili Junyi glanced at everyone and said: "The princess and I first came to Zhoucheng, maybe we will stay here for a long time in the future, and when we deal with you, you don't have to be formal, you don't have to be formal, you can think of us as if we know each other, just feel free, and sit down." ”

Everyone sat down with a respectful smile on their faces, and although they tried their best to hide it, they could still see the restraint in their movements.

The reputation of Baili Junyi and Shen Ninghua can be described as thunderous to them, especially the things that these two people tossed in Kyoto, just the two of them dared to fight openly with most of the officials in the court, and they also won, let those officials knock out their teeth and swallow blood, who would dare to provoke them easily?

Everyone seems to be restrained, and if someone looks relaxed, it will naturally stand out.

Shen Ninghua looked at the man sitting at the very end, he looked like he was in his thirties, his face was handsome, his manners were decent, and he had a smile on his face, but he did not have the stiffness of other officials at all.

"I have long heard that the head of the Zhou family will come over today, I don't know which one it is?"

She spoke, and Zhou Da hurriedly introduced her, but she didn't expect that it was the man at the end of the banquet who attracted Shen Ninghua's attention.

"Grass man Zhou Ziqing has seen the prince of the county and the princess of the county."

Shen Ninghua smiled: "The head of the Zhou family is exempt, and I have to thank you for your garden, otherwise we may have to sleep on the streets." "I really didn't expect that the head of the Zhou family, a famous benevolent family, turned out to be a young and elegant man.

Zhou Ziqing hurriedly saluted: "The princess laughed, as long as you speak, I don't know how many people will voluntarily vacate the garden, and Zhou has worked hard for a long time to win this opportunity." ”

Shen Ninghua smiled slightly: "The head of the Zhou family came alone?" I heard that you have a younger sister who is famous and a famous beauty in Zhoucheng, I don't know if I have the fate to meet her? ”

"Back to the princess, where did she get her good name, it's just a few rumors outside, in front of the princess, where are there any beauties, just to get into the eyes. Today she also prepared a program to help the fun, and she didn't want to show it to be embarrassing, but the princess asked about it, and she didn't know ......"

"Oh?" Shen Ninghua was a little interested, "This is great, let's see the customs of Zhoucheng, please Ling Mei come up." ”
