Chapter 57: Nuan Nuan's Story
Zhou Banliang smiled bitterly: "Whatever you want, but I have something to say first, don't think about inquiring about this matter in Agarwood Residence, and don't worry about using Agarwood Residence's money to buy relevant information elsewhere, I won't approve it anyway." ”
Zhang Qiyue said without mind: "Do you think you can stump me? To tell you the truth, I will have three prefecture-level intelligence consultation rights in Qingbao, so I don't need you to worry about it." ”
Zhou Banliang smiled inexplicably: "Yes, then I wish you all the best." ”
But in my heart, I was thinking: You kid really haven't seen the world, and your master's affairs are worth three prefectures?
I didn't say anything at the moment, and drank tea with a smile.
Zhang Qiyue was very uncomfortable by Zhou Banliang's unfathomable smile, and he didn't know why for a while.
Just as he wanted to explore, Zhou Banliang put down the teacup and said, "That's all for the matter of Lingshi, let's talk about some serious things next." ”
Zhang Qiyue's face was suspicious, thinking to himself that what he just said was not serious?
Zhou Banliang asked, "When did you originally plan to leave for Qingzhou?"
Zhang Qiyue thought for a while and said, "I haven't thought about it yet, I'll go in about another month or two." ”
Zhou Banliang said: "Anyway, you don't have anything important to do in Qizhou, let's set off in half a month, bring Nuan Nuan with you." ”
Zhang Qiyue was puzzled: "Are you in such a hurry to let me go?"
Zhou Banliang said lightly: "Half a month later, I have something big to do, and there will be some chaos at home at that time, and it will be inconvenient for Nuan Nuan to be here." ”
can be called a "big event" by Zhou Banliang, it must be extraordinary.
Zhang Qiyue said in a deep voice: "I want to know the details, otherwise I don't need to talk about it." ”
Zhou Banliang said: "I don't plan to hide it from you, I want to deal with my fourth brother Zhou Banxian, and I want to minimize the loss." ”
Zhang Qiyue frowned and asked, "Why?"
Zhou Banliang said: "You and Nuan Nuan were intercepted by the wind ruins, it was he who instigated it, plus the old accounts before, this time the new hatred and old hatred will be calculated together." ”
Zhang Qiyue was puzzled: "Between brothers, there is such a big hatred?"
Zhou Banliang sighed: "If you were born in a family, you will understand that these are common things. ”
"It seems that this is a wonderful story," Zhang Qiyue sat down, crossed Erlang's legs and said, "Seeing my elegant and respectful sitting posture, I am fully prepared, so you can rest assured to tell it boldly." ”
Zhou Banliang said expressionlessly: "The audience's posture is not standard enough, you have to shake your head, and then match it with an intoxicated expression." ”
Zhang Qiyue said with a smile: "This is called listening to you." ”
Zhou Banliang squinted at Zhang Qiyue and said, "If I didn't want you to leave with Nuan Nuan, I would kill you immediately." ”
Zhang Qiyue said impatiently: "Don't waste time, hurry up and tell the story." ”
Zhou Banliang was silent for a moment and said, "Do you know why Nuan Nuan drinks so much?"
Zhang Qiyue was stunned and said, "Isn't it talented?"
Zhou Banliang said in a bitter voice: "Where can there be such a talent... When she was a child, she was infected with a cold poison called 'water and smoke', which penetrated deep into the liver and has not been completely expelled. Every other year, he has to undergo a burning poison. It is for this reason that Nuan Nuan can drink spirits like water, and the spicy nature of spirits is also good for her liver. ”
Zhang Qiyue was stunned and said in disbelief: "There is such a thing......
Zhou Banliang said in a deep voice: "If Nuan Nuan lets go of drinking, she can drink ten thousand cups a day without getting drunk, but she doesn't want to." ”
Zhang Qiyue narrowed his eyes and asked, "This poison is so powerful, and even you can't do it?"
Zhou Banliang shook his head and said, "'Water and Smoke' is extremely mysterious, it can not only destroy the internal organs, but also infect the soul and divine consciousness. Nuan Nuan's luck was not bad, the poisoning was discovered as soon as possible, and the clan worshippers suppressed it, so that the poison was forced to the liver, and a strong ban was imposed, which saved his life. I didn't want to get rid of this poison, I had already tried all the ways I could, but it only increased her pain. ”
"I remember when Nuan Nuan was nine years old, I begged Mr. Xie Zhen, the first holy hand of the Lie Kingdom, to take action, and finally failed to detoxify. Nuan Nuan's hair and face were covered with cold sweat, and her lips were not bloody, but she was still trembling and smiling at me and saying that it was okay, I couldn't help it anymore, so I ran to the study alone and cried bitterly. I'll never forget that taste. Zhou Banliang said bitterly.
Zhang Qiyue was silent.
Thinking of the girl who was smiling and energetic and playing with him like no one else, he felt a little distressed.
"The fourth child has always left no room for things, since he has made a move, how can I easily crack it. Zhou Banliang's words were full of helplessness.
Zhang Qiyue asked in a low voice: "Since you know that he did it, why didn't you fight back in the first place?"
Zhou Banliang sighed and said, "Because of his father's protection, I can't find any evidence." The fourth child is the old man's favorite son, and he was originally the most popular choice for the head of the family, but he lost to me in the battle for the head of the family. My enmity with him was irreconcilable long then. ”
"The fierce competition for the position of head of the family is beyond your imagination. Nuan Nuan's mother also lost her life because of this, I knew that I would pay such a price, I would rather not fight for this family master. Zhou Banliang was extremely painful.
Zhang Qiyue was silent for a moment and asked, "Why didn't he make a move on Zhou Weihan later, but targeted Nuan Nuan?"
Zhou Banliang calmed down a little and replied: "There are two reasons, first of all, Weihan is a man, and he is also quite loved by the old man. Secondly, Weihan was born to my second wife Xiaoyin, and Nuan Nuan is not the same mother, Xiaoyin was born in a family of relatives, and the fourth child naturally has some scruples. ”
"Nuan Nuan's mother is a commoner?"
"No, Nuan Nuan's mother was born as a slave. Zhou Banliang's face showed a look of reminiscence, "Her name is Bao'er, she is a Hu person, and I bought it from the Xuanwu Sect." ”
Zhang Qiyue asked cautiously, "Can you elaborate on it?"
Zhou Banliang's eyes showed a touch of tenderness, and he said: "It was twenty years ago, I led a team to the Xuanwu Sect to trade with it, and in the middle of the night, Bao'er broke into my room, pointed a chopstick at my neck, and asked me to take her to escape. I thought it was funny, so I started talking to her. ”
Only then did she know that she was a slave captured by the Xuanwu Sect from the Western Desert Tribe, and she had already cultivated in the forging period. I admired this beautiful and brave tribal girl very much, so I asked the Xuanwu Sect for it. After paying some price, I brought her back to Qizhou. ”
"After that, Boa has been taking care of my food and daily life, and we have gradually fallen in love, and I want to marry her. The old man strongly objected at the time, but I insisted very much, and finally the old man compromised. ”
"Although Bao'er is from a humble background, she is smart and resolute, and I love her very much, but the fourth couple has always looked down on her. Once the fourth daughter-in-law wanted to bully Bao'er, but Bao'er was severely repaired and fell ill. The fourth child wanted to pursue the matter, but I naturally disagreed, and tried my best to defend Bao'er. Probably since then, the fourth child has hated Bao'er, which is why they have these hardships later......"
After listening to it, Zhang Qiyue was not moved by this poignant story, but began to sneer: "Their mother and daughter have suffered so much for you, and you, as their greatest support, have always enjoyed the throne of the head of the family, and do not want to avenge them, in vain I still regard you as a master, I am really blind." I look down on you!"
Zhou Banliang didn't refute, and said helplessly: "There are many things you don't understand, and I can't help myself." ”
"Hmph!" Zhang Qiyue said disdainfully: "'Involuntarily' is really always the best excuse, and anyone can use it to shirk responsibility." ”
Zhou Banliang was silent for a long time, showed a gentle smile, and said: "You are right, I am indeed not a good husband and father, but I will not make this kind of mistake again, so I am very relieved to hand over Nuan Nuan to the hands of 'real masters' like you." ”
