Chapter Forty-Eight: Zhou Banliang's Style
It was the first time to see Zhou Nuannuan showing such a twisted appearance, Zhang Qiyue was curious: "What's the matter?"
Zhou Nuannuan's eyes dodged and said: "It's inconvenient to talk here, let's go and talk elsewhere." ”
Zhang Qiyue was dissatisfied: "I haven't eaten yet." ”
Zhou Nuannuan rarely did not play small, and said obediently: "Oh, then you continue to eat, I'll wait for you." ”
Then he found that the table was in a mess, the haggis and sheep bones were scattered all over the table, and the mutton soup was scattered everywhere, and he said, "What's going on?"
"Hey, it's a long story, don't mention it," Zhang Qiyue waved his hand, compared to continuing to eat, he was more curious about the change in Zhou Nuannuan's attitude, and couldn't help but quip: "Second Miss is suddenly so gentle and elegant, I'm really a little uncomfortable, it seems that this is not so easy to help." ”
Zhou Nuannuan pursed her lips tightly and did not speak.
"But I'm a person who likes to challenge the tough, hehe. Zhang Qiyue stood up and said with a smile: "Don't worry, you are so right, I can do my best to help, let's go." ”
Zhou Nuannuan's eyes were slightly surprised, he thought that Zhang Qiyue would make all kinds of difficulties, who would have thought that he would agree so easily, and he didn't even ask what was going on.
Pieces of warmth gushed out in the depths of the heart, the pretty face showed a heartfelt smile, and the smile was like a peach blossom, which made people's hearts ripple.
"Hmm. The girl's voice with implied joy sounded, crisp and pleasant.
......
When Zhou Banliang came to the No. 4 warehouse, Yuan Yi, Li Yong and others were drinking, talking about all kinds of interesting things, and bursts of laughter rang out from time to time.
"Do you know that the third master of the Bai family recently proposed to the head of the family, and wants the second lady to marry Bai Jiushao?" Yuan Yi looked at everyone and smiled.
A big man said quietly: "I've heard a little, but I don't know what the head of the family thinks." ”
"I just got the news," Yuan Yi smiled mysteriously, "The head of the family has promised, and the marriage will be announced in the near future." ”
Everyone was stunned, laughed, and said: "This is a great joy, and it is worth drinking a few more bowls." ”
Only Li Yong hesitated: "Sect Leader Yuan, can the news be true?"
Yuan Yi glanced at Li Yong and said dissatisfiedly: "Brother Li Yong, are you doubting my ability?"
Li Yong didn't dare to say anything, but his brows furrowed tightly.
Seeing this, Yuan Yi became more and more displeased, and said, "Brother Li Yong doesn't seem to believe it." ”
Li Yong shook his head and said, "I just think this matter is a bit sudden, and it's ...... Forget it, such a big thing should not be speculated about. ”
Yuan Yi's mind moved, and he asked: "Recently, the second young lady has been looking at Shacheng, and the Li Yong brothers are serving her, so there must be some news that we don't know, right?
Li Yong thought for a while and asked, "Does the second lady know about the marriage?"
Yuan Yi was stunned for a moment and said, "For such a major event, the head of the family must have informed the second young lady. Will it be cut first and then played?"
Li Yong's brows furrowed even tighter, and he said to himself: "It shouldn't be......" Although he is honest, he is not stupid. In the first battle of the Western Desert, the second lady stepped forward to protect Zhang Qiyue, and he knew it. On the way to Qizhou, although the two seemed to be-for-tat, they actually gave people a feeling of flirting and scolding, and the eyes of the second lady looking at Zhang Qiyue were obviously different from others. Although Li Yong is not a prodigal son, he is also a person from the past, and he thinks he still knows a little about women. How could the second lady agree to marry Bai Zhan?
"What shouldn't be?" a majestic voice sounded behind him.
"Family Master!" Yuan Yi and the others hurriedly got up and saluted respectfully.
Li Yong's eyes widened suddenly, and he quickly got up, and hurriedly turned around to salute.
Zhou Banliang looked at the wine bowl on the table, and said expressionlessly: "Li Yong stays, and everyone else goes out." ”
"Yes. Yuan Yi and the others retreated, leaving only Li Yong.
Zhou Banliang raised his legs and sat down, poured a bowl of wine, but did not drink it. Li Yong maintained a saluting posture and did not dare to move.
"Sit. Zhou Banliang raised his hand slightly.
Li Yong sat down a little stiffly, feeling worried.
Zhou Banliang smiled: "Don't be nervous, I just want to ask you something." ”
Li Yong said cautiously: "The head of the family asks, the subordinates must know everything." ”
Zhou Banliang said: "I heard that you encountered the 'Wind Ruin' killer on the road, tell me what happened carefully." ”
"Yes. ”
Li Yong immediately sorted out his thoughts, described the whole thing in detail, and tried to recall it to confirm that nothing was missing, and finally said: "The whole thing is like this. ”
Zhou Banliang fell into deep thought and did not speak.
Li Yong didn't dare to speak for a while.
After a while, Zhou Banliang pushed the wine bowl in front of Li Yong, looked at him and said, "There are some things, you can understand, don't go around talking about it, especially about Nuan Nuan." ”
Li Yong broke out in a cold sweat behind his back, picked up the wine bowl and said, "My subordinates remember." ”
Zhou Banliang patted him on the shoulder and got up to leave.
It wasn't until he walked out of the room that Li Yong swallowed a slit and silently drank the whole bowl of wine into his stomach.
......
Not long after, Zhou Banliang came to the "Qiqing Pawnshop" in the west of the city and stepped through the door.
The pawnshop steward hurriedly got up to greet him, with a professional smile on his face, and asked, "What does Boss Zhou have to say?"
Zhou Banliang said: "When I came to you, I naturally asked for news, can I still come to be a thing?"
The steward smiled: "Boss Zhou said that he laughed, I don't know what kind of news can let you come in person?" ”
Zhou Banliang said: "I'm afraid you can't answer this news, is the Twelfth Master here?"
The steward said, "The shopkeeper is still in Wangsha City, and he will come back in a few days." ”
Zhou Banliang said: "Help me contact her." ”
The steward said respectfully: "Boss Zhou, please come with me." ”
After that, lead Zhou Banliang to the inner room. The man then closed the door of the pawnshop.
The inner room was nothing special, just an ordinary room, Zhou Banliang sat down peacefully at the square table, and the steward placed an oil lamp on the table, bowed and retreated, and closed the door.
After a few breaths, a thin layer of aura emanated from the oil lamp, enveloping the entire room.
After the ban was formed, a flat female voice came from inside the oil lamp: "Boss Zhou is here, Twelve can't greet him in person, please forgive me for the rudeness." ”
Zhou Banliang said: "They are all old friends, so just be polite." Four days ago, I had a caravan in Agarwood House, and on the way from Wangshacheng to Qizhou, it was intercepted by the 'Wind Ruins', and I wanted to know who was behind it. ”
The Twelfth Master said, "Boss Zhou, but you want complete information?"
Zhou Banliang said lightly: "Are you afraid that I won't be able to pay?"
The Twelfth Master said: "Boss Zhou's financial resources, who in the world doesn't know? However, we are still confirming some details of this matter, and we can give Boss Zhou a detailed reply in five or six days at most. According to the information obtained so far, the main messenger seems to be pointing to one of Boss Zhou's younger brothers. ”
Zhou Banliang was silent for a moment and said, "Fourth?"
The Twelfth Master replied, "Exactly." ”
Zhou Banliang nodded and said, "If the information is sorted out, please send someone to inform me, and the price will be according to your rules." ”
The Twelfth Master said: "Boss Zhou, rest assured, it will be delivered as soon as possible." ”
"There is one more thing," Zhou Banliang paused, and said in a deep voice: "Is Zhang Qiyue the heir of Ouyang Wuwen?"
The Twelfth Master was silent for a long time and said, "This is heaven-level news. ”
Zhou Banliang said: "I never cared about the price. ”
Half an hour later, a voice came from inside the oil lamp: "Yes." ”
Zhou Banliang laughed loudly: "Very good, I finally heard a piece of news that made me happy today." ”
The Twelfth Master said, "Boss Zhou, do you have anything else to ask?"
Zhou Banliang smiled: "It's not for the time being." ”
The Twelfth Master said: "In this case, the Twelfth will retire." ”
The thin aura was forbidden, and the oil lamp was slowly withdrawn, and no sound came from the Twelfth Master.
Zhou Banliang got up to leave, with a big smile on his face.
......
Zhang Qiyue looked at Zhou Nuannuan dumbfounded, speechless for a long time.
Zhou Nuannuan's face was flushed, and she lowered her head and clenched the corners of her clothes. It seems to be trying to find a crack in the ground to get into.
"Hahahaha-" Zhang Qiyue raised his head and laughed on the street, causing passers-by to pay attention to him.
Zhou Nuannuan gritted her teeth and said in shame: "Hmph! Don't help!"
Zhang Qiyue hurriedly grabbed her, held back a smile and said, "Help! Why don't you help?
Zhou Nuannuan was extremely embarrassed, and let Zhang Qiyue hold his hand and did not struggle.
"Your dad is really, he can also look at the white cup of goods, and his eyes are really very problematic. Don't worry, I'm not going to sit idly by and watch you fall into the tiger's mouth. Zhang Qiyue's eyes smiled into a crescent moon.
Zhou Nuannuan didn't squeak.
"But that's not right," Zhang Qiyue joked: "You and Bai Zhan, who is the sheep and who is the tiger, it's really hard to say." ”
Zhou Nuannuan shook off Zhang Qiyue's hand and said angrily: "You laugh, laugh hard, who made me so unlucky! I shouldn't have asked you for help!" There was a fog in his eyes, and he looked very aggrieved.
Seeing this, Zhang Qiyue also felt that the joke was a bit too much, no matter what, Zhou Nuannuan was a girl after all, and it was not easy to pull down his face to ask him for help, and it was indeed a little inappropriate for him to laugh at this time.
So he hurriedly said, "Okay, I was wrong." Don't worry, I will fully cooperate with you. I'll do whatever you want me to do, and there's absolutely no need to worry about showing my feet. Don't you know my acting skills? Do you remember the wave of heavenly shows in the City Lord's Mansion?"
Hearing this, Zhou Nuannuan remembered the scene when Xiao Shuo was lying in Zhang Qiyue's arms and sobbing, and suddenly burst into laughter.
Zhang Qiyue pretended to be serious and said: "But it's okay, you can only be regarded as a side room, and Xiao Shuo is the eldest lady." ”
Zhou Nuannuan's smile trembled, and then he felt that it was indecent to cry and laugh like this, so he put away his smile and lowered his head shyly.
Zhang Qiyue smiled and said, "You still look better when you laugh, crying about this kind of thing, you are not professional enough, so it is better to come less." Besides, what a big deal, isn't it just fooling your father? ”
Zhou Nuannuan was still a little embarrassed, and said in a low voice: "I'm afraid things are not as easy as you think." ”
Zhang Qiyue smiled faintly and said: "That's because you don't know me well enough, following the old man for so many years, the hardships and hardships I have encountered are definitely far beyond your imagination, haven't I survived them all? ”
Zhou Nuannuan raised her head and looked at the confident smile on Zhang Qiyue's face, as if she was infected, and a lot of courage was born in her heart, and she smiled and said, "I believe it." ”
