Chapter 50: I Am Against This Family Business
Ten miles outside the south gate of Qizhou City, there is a Dazhou Village.
There are many fields in the village, and when the meal arrives, smoke curls up. The people of the village work at sunrise and rest at sunset.
From a distance, Dazhou Village, like any other village, is very ordinary.
But Qizhou people know that Da Zhou Village is not unusual at all, because this is the ancestral village of the Zhou family.
Zhou is the week of Zhou Banliang.
Da Zhou Village has always been peaceful. Since Agarwood House gained a foothold in the western part of the Lieguo hundreds of years ago, Dazhou Village has never had a security problem.
The large protective array outside the village alone was from the hands of the old dean of the Liangyi Sect Genshan Academy. What's more, the village is also full of Mowei Pavilion's Zeus-level defensive equipment.
Moweige is famous for its excellent products, and it takes three years for a piece to flow out, and it has always been priceless.
In Dazhou Village, it was thrown everywhere like cabbage.
Agarwood is rich, so it is natural to be capricious.
Zhou Yuanshan, the old head of the Zhou family, has been living in the village for many years since he returned to seclusion, and rarely goes out.
Over the years, Zhou Banliang has been in charge of Agarwood House, and the large and small matters in the Chamber of Commerce have been handled in an orderly manner, and the business of all walks of life has also been thriving. Everything went so smoothly that few people came to visit the old man.
The old family owner is quiet, and Zhou Banliang is also quite busy on weekdays, so he doesn't come to disturb unless it's a New Year's holiday.
Zhou Banliang is here today.
Zhou Yuanshan, who has a childish face, is dressed in plain cloth clothes, with a bamboo hat on his head, and is loosening the soil in the spiritual field barefoot. Zhou Banliang stood on the edge of the field with his hands down, his burly figure standing straight and straight, like a quiet pine tree.
After a long time, Zhou Yuanshan finished combing the entire Lingtian, looked around the Lingtian with a hoe, and showed a satisfied look on his face, and then slowly walked towards Zhou Banliang.
Zhou Banliang picked up the teapot on the wooden table next to him and respectfully offered it: "Father, please use tea." ”
Zhou Yuanshan handed him the hoe, took the teapot and poured it into his mouth, and after a burst of coo, he put down the teapot and asked, "How do you see the growth of this 'Fengquan Fruit'?"
Zhou Banliang smiled: "Father takes care of it, naturally impeccable. In the child's humble opinion, I am afraid that in another month, I can start picking fruits. ”
"That's right," Zhou Yuanshan sat on the bamboo chair and said, "Since there is no fruit to eat now, what are you going to do?"
Zhou Banliang said: "A few days ago, Nuan Nuan returned to Qizhou with the caravan, and was almost taken away on the way. ”
Zhou Yuanshan let out a faint "um".
Zhou Banliang said: "It was made by the fourth child." ”
Zhou Yuanshan held the teapot, his eyelids were not raised, and asked, "The news is reliable?"
Zhou Banliang said: "I found the Twelfth Master. ”
Zhou Yuanshan was silent for a moment and said, "What do you want?"
Zhou Banliang said seriously: "I want to kill." ”
Zhou Yuanshan raised his head and looked at Zhou Banliang and said, "He is your brother." ”
Zhou Banliang showed a hint of self-deprecation on his face and said, "Thirteen years ago, you said the same thing. ”
Zhou Yuanshan looked at Zhou Banliang with a complicated expression.
Zhou Banliang said: "When Bao'er died, you gave me the position of the head of the family, let me endure it, and I endured it." Nuan Nuan was assassinated, you said that the overall situation is important, and let me endure it, and I endured it. Do you want me to put up with it this time?"
Zhou Yuanshan was speechless.
"I couldn't find evidence before, and I knew you were protecting him. Now that I am firmly in the position of the head of the family, he still dares to provoke me, do you think he is looking for death?"
Zhou Banliang's words are like knives, and the edge of the farmland is silent.
After a long time, Zhou Yuanshan said: "It is really taboo for brothers to kill each other. ”
Zhou Banliang said: "Is it a trivial matter that his wife and daughter were killed?"
Zhou Yuanshan was silent again for a long time, and said: "Send Xiaosi back to the village, accompany me to farm, and don't go out in the future." ”
Zhou Banliang sneered a few times, with anger hidden in his laughter, and said, "This is the case after all." ”
Zhou Yuanshan said in a deep voice: "After all, they are brothers. ”
The scene cooled down again, and neither father nor son was speechless.
After a long time, Zhou Banliang said: "The fourth child is not stupid, how can he be arrested with his hands tied? ”
Zhou Yuanshan stared at Zhou Banliang and said, "This is the purpose of your visit today, right?"
"The child's mind can't hide from his father," Zhou Banliang said seriously: "Then do you agree?"
Zhou Yuanshan waved his hand a little tiredly and said, "Go ahead, I will let the clan elders find you." ”
"The child is gone. Zhou Banliang bowed.
Looking at Zhou Banliang's departing back, Zhou Yuanshan said to himself: "You are indeed a qualified head of the family. ”
......
Bai Zhan has been in a good mood lately.
Since Wangshacheng received Bai Zifeng's letter, he was very excited, and after rushing to Qizhou, he was personally confirmed by Bai Zifeng, and he was even happier.
Until yesterday, I received the news that Boss Zhou had talked to Zhou Nuannuan about getting married, and Zhou Nuannuan nodded and agreed. He already felt like he was in the clouds.
The winner in life is talking about himself. Bai Zhan was very proud.
Then I was a little distressed, Nuan Nuan's temperament is so strong, and I am afraid that there will be some twists and turns when I get along with my family in the future, and it seems that I have to spend a lot of energy to deal with friction. Then I thought that it seems a little early to think about these now, so I should first plan a route to visit Yangzhou with Nuan Nuan, well, this is more realistic.
Watching Bai Zhan walk around the room, his face was sometimes happy, sometimes troubled, sometimes bitter, and then turned into joy again. Bai Zifeng shook his head with a smile while holding the teacup, he can make Xiao Zhan so attentive, this week Nuan Nuan is really amazing.
Thinking that Boss Zhou was going to officially announce this family affair today, I couldn't help but feel that the tea in the cup was a little more fragrant than usual.
Bai Cha walked in with a sword, and when he saw Bai Zhan's uneasy appearance, he couldn't help frowning and said: "If your heart is not quiet, things are not going well, and you have forgotten? You are so unstable, how do you ask the Zhou family to look at my Bai family." ”
Bai Zhan said helplessly: "Fifth brother, this is a major event in life, I can't do it like you." ”
Bai Zifeng said with a smile: "Xiao Cha, you Fang Zhi last night, how did you know his suffering these days, compared to the previous few days, Xiao Zhan is already very calm." ”
Bai Cha said to Bai Zhan: "It's okay here, in front of Boss Zhou later, you must pay attention to your bearing, don't damage the family's face." ”
Bai Zhan Zhengse said: "Fifth brother, rest assured, the younger brother will definitely not insult the family style." ”
Bai Cha nodded and said to Bai Zifeng: "Third uncle, the time is almost up, let's go." ”
"Okay," Bai Zifeng got up and said with a smile: "Let's go, go to Xiaozhan to ask for a daughter-in-law." ”
The three uncles and nephews of the Bai family walked lightly all the way, and soon walked to the living room.
After taking a seat at the guest seat, a servant will serve refreshments.
Bai Zhan was still a little uneasy, and it was difficult to hide the nervousness on his face.
Bai Zifeng leisurely tastes tea.
Bai Cha sat still, his face calm.
After a while, a hearty laugh came from the door: "Brother Zifeng has been waiting for a long time. ”
I saw Zhou Banliang with Zhou Weihan, Zhou Nuannuan and housekeeper Zhou Lin strode in.
The three uncles and nephews of the Bai family got up together, Bai Zifeng hugged his fists and smiled: "Brother Zhou is polite, and the younger brother has just arrived." ”
Zhou Banliang said with a smile: "Brother Zifeng looks very good today, so very good, the matter between you and my family will be discussed smoothly later." ”
Bai Zifeng smiled and said, "It will definitely go well." ”
Zhou Banliang said with a smile: "Brother Zifeng, please take a seat." ”
Bai Zifeng said: "Brother Zhou, please." ”
Bai Zhan's gaze always stayed on Zhou Nuannuan. Today, Zhou Nuannuan is still wearing a yellow shirt and some light makeup, which looks bright and moving.
Thinking that the two were about to get married, Bai Zhan's heartbeat couldn't help but speed up a little.
Zhou Nuannuan didn't look at him, silently followed Zhou Banliang to the main seat, and stood quietly on Zhou Banliang's right.
After Zhou Banliang sat down, he looked at the uncle and nephew of the Bai family and said with a smile: "I believe everyone already knows why there is such a gathering today, so I won't talk nonsense anymore, I really can't bear to see Xiaozhan's soulless appearance, haha." ”
Bai Cha glanced at Bai Zhan faintly.
Bai Zhan's face turned red, and he immediately straightened his demeanor and said, "Let my uncle smile." ”
"It doesn't matter, I totally understand. Zhou Banliang smiled and said: "Let's be simpler, after I agreed with Brother Zifeng, and then communicated with the little girl Nuan Nuan and got his approval, I officially announced that I will let Xiao Zhan and Nuan Nuan ...... today."
"I oppose !!" An angry roar came, Zhang Qiyue rushed into the meeting room, and shouted: "I represent myself! On behalf of Nuan Nuan! On behalf of lovers in the whole world! All-round, no dead ends, three-dimensional, 360 degrees of absolute opposition! I oppose ......"
Zhang Qiyue was stunned on the spot with his mouth open, and the hot-blooded lines stopped as soon as he memorized half of them.
Zhou Banliang was staring at him with a frown, there seemed to be displeasure and banter in his eyes.
Zhang Qiyue is a little confused, why is Lao Zhou here? He is Zhou Nuannuan's father? I'll go ......
"Zhang Qiyue, what are you here to make trouble!" Bai Zhan stood up angrily, his fists clenched.
was shouted by him, Zhang Qiyue came back to his senses, what if Lao Zhou is Zhou Nuannuan's father, the play has started, so it must be sung well.
So he instantly switched back to the state, his eyes were full of anger, and he pointed to Bai Zhan's nose and scolded: "The surname is Bai, you are so bold, you know that I am in love with Nuan Nuan, but you want to use such despicable means to break us up, it is simply better than a beast! ”
"Nonsense!" Bai Zhan's eyes burned with anger.
"Zhang Qiyue," Bai Cha stood up, his sword eyes flashed with sword light, and said, "Are you a little too much?" ”
Zhang Qiyue saw the white tea at this time, frowned and said, "Why are you everywhere?"
Bai Cha looked at Zhang Qiyue and said, "I should say this sentence, right?" ”
"Brother July, which one are you singing?" Zhou Banliang's voice floated over, and he couldn't hear joy or anger.
Bai Zifeng asked Zhou Banliang in a deep voice, "Brother Zhou, who is this?"
Zhou Banliang replied: "It's a guest in my family." ”
Bai Zifeng raised his eyebrows.
"Brother Zifeng, don't worry, wait for me to ask clearly. Zhou Banliang raised his hand and said comfortingly.
"Zhang Keqing, what's going on?" Zhou Banliang asked lightly.
Ignoring Bai Zhan's murderous gaze, Zhang Qiyue said eloquently: "The master of the family, we met Nuan Nuan in Wangshacheng, we fell in love at first sight, and then we lived and died together several times, and our love has long been deep-rooted, and it is difficult to distinguish each other. Therefore, today I happened to learn that Nuan Nuan was about to get married, and I was scared into a cold sweat, and then I was indignant in my chest, so I rushed over suddenly, and I hoped that the head of the family would forgive me. ”
A hint of joy drifted through Zhou Nuannuan's eyes.
"Love is deep-rooted, is it difficult to distinguish each other?" Zhou Banliang repeated these two words in a deep voice, and said: "No, Zhang Keqing, you didn't say that in the 'Sheep Pavilion'." ”
"This ......"
Zhang Qiyue really broke out in a cold sweat now.
