No. 407 Breaking the Game (1)
Zhou Kang has never dared to have any objections to Zhou Wei's words, although he is a veritable second ancestor of Ru'an Mansion, but he also knows where his confidence comes from, if there is no father who is the prefect, he would have been beaten to death eight hundred times.
This is also why he is obviously so disgusted with his current wife, but he still marries the other party, asking himself, the eldest son of Zhou, who provokes right and wrong every once in a while, naturally cannot be called "filial piety", but in the point of "shun", he can be regarded as conscientious, which is also one of his few advantages.
……
"Dad, the child knows that he has to win over the fat man, isn't this just that the two of us have had a private chat, by the way, tonight I saw officers and soldiers entering the city, I heard that they are going to the north, is there going to be war again?"
Zhou Zuo opened his eyes slightly when he heard this, and glanced at his son, as soon as this kid pouted his buttocks, he knew what shit to pull, so he said bluntly:
"It's just an ordinary change of defense, it's too early for you to make a fortune. The dynasty is now rich and the people are strong, even if the four major alien races are in trouble together, it will take three or five years to see the results, rather than thinking about that kind of marginal thing, it is better to give birth to the child first, so that my Zhou family will not be extinct. ”
As soon as it was mentioned to have a child, Zhou Kang, who was showing off his martial arts all day long, immediately made a difficulty, he knew that he couldn't beat his father, so he said with a hippie smile:
"Dad, you should be old and strong, do you want to not be affected, and have a few more? It's not that you don't know that your son is upset when he sees that, where he has that kind of mind. ”
"Bastard!" Zhou patted the arm of the chair, "How many times has my father told you that those who achieve great things should be informal, why are you so short-sighted?" ”
Zhou Kang lowered his head and was silent, although he didn't dare to disobey his father, he still stiffened his neck and didn't let go.
The cow doesn't drink water and can't force his head, let alone Zhou Kang, who has been pampered since he was a child, and Zhou Wei, who has been applauded by people when he farts outside, really has nothing to do with his son, so he has to wave his hand and say:
"Let's go down, by the way, go to the backyard and call Juanxiu, Zou Shilang hasn't replied to the letter for so many days, I'm a little worried."
"Yes."
After Zhou Kang left, Zhou Wei let out a long sigh, then closed his eyes and continued to drink tea.
……
"Dad, are you looking for me?"
Not long after, a woman with a foxy face came to the main hall, the woman's original surname was Xu, and her maiden name was Juanxiu, who was Zhou Wei's daughter-in-law.
Zhou Wei opened his eyes when he heard the voice, and said with a charitable smile on his elder's face:
"Come, Juanxiu, sit down. There's nothing else to do with you, I just want to chat. ”
The woman in her early thirties smiled and nodded, and walked to the side and sat down.
Zhou Zuo put aside the slightly hot tea, straightened up and said:
"Juanxiu, it's been almost five years since you got married, right?"
"Four years and eight months." The woman replied with a smile.
"Alas...... It's been so long, I originally asked Kang'er to marry you, I wanted this kid to take care of himself, don't always mess with flowers and grass outside, but he still doesn't know how to restrain himself over the years, and he has persuaded his father many times, but it has never worked.
I think you've seen it, I broke a dozen rattan sticks in the past few years when you just passed through the door, but this little bastard is still ......"
Zhou Wei was halfway through speaking, and suddenly realized that he seemed to have scolded himself, and when he was embarrassed, he only heard the woman opposite say softly:
"I can't complain about my father about this matter, but my daughter-in-law is not angry and failed to keep my father-in-law."
Zhou Zuo smiled bitterly and waved his hand, "My son knows what virtue he has to be a father, and he has suffered you all these years, you are the daughter of the squire family, and there are a lot of people to choose from, but in the end, it was delayed on my unsuccessful son, who is a father, and I can't stand you." ”
In the end, Zhou Wei's eyes were slightly red, and the woman hurriedly relieved when she saw this:
"Dad, you are serious, marry your husband with your husband, no matter who Zhou Kang is, after all, he is the husband of his daughter-in-law, before he got married, his godfather also asked Juanxiu what he meant, and in the end, it was Zhou Kang who Juanxiu chose himself, and he couldn't complain about others."
"Alas......"
Zhou Zuo sighed, and after a while, he "forced a smile" and said:
"Since you married into the Zhou family, you may not have returned to Beijing to visit your in-laws for a long time, I remember that the last time the two of us met was a year ago, and I don't know if he has been in good health recently."
The woman smiled again at this moment and said:
"Father-in-law Meng cares, godfather, he is very strong, and he wrote to me before that he has time to visit you in Zhongzhou, but I am afraid that you are not welcome."
"Haha, my father-in-law is here, naturally welcome. There is no other meaning for being a father, the city has not been peaceful recently, and the newly appointed Shen Langzhong has been staying for more than a month, I am afraid that he has other plans, so I wrote to Lord Shilang to inquire, but I have not received a reply, so I am a little worried. ”
"Father didn't mention this Juan Xiu almost forgot, yesterday my godfather had a letter, in addition to asking me to take the time to go home to visit my godmother, I also asked my daughter-in-law to tell you by the way, the Qing official Si Pan check the accounts must not be able to avoid him, the servant of the ministry, the godfather has already ordered Shen Langzhong to go elsewhere, presumably he will leave soon."
Zhou Wei finally relaxed a little when he heard this, and said happily:
"That's good, this person is easy to be cranky as soon as he gets older, or his in-laws are thoughtful, and when I am free here, I will definitely go to the door to thank you."
"The family doesn't talk to each other, and my father is outside." The woman said with a smile.
Zhou Wei stroked his beard and nodded, and secretly said that his daughter-in-law knew the general situation, and it seemed that he had to teach his little bastard a good lesson when he turned back.
……
In the dead of night, the hundreds of soldiers of the Qianmen Mansion who were supposed to rest at the post station gathered together, and Luo Baihu, who was the leader, was whispering something to a pair of young men and women at this time.
The young man was dressed as a scribe and wore a crown on his head, and the woman was dressed in a pale pink Luo skirt, just like the peach blossoms in the season, and the two were Shen Qianqiu and Li Mizhen.
Shen Qianqiu and the Baihu spoke in the same Jiangdong accent, and the woman on the side was excited, gearing up from time to time, without any ladylike style, if it wasn't for her cousin to stop her, she would have borrowed a suit of armor from this Luo Baihu, who was familiar with the family, tonight.
After the two discussed in a low voice, Shen Qianqiu saluted and said:
"General Luo, I'm sorry for you."
"Where is Lord Shen, we are all children of Jiangdong, you can be a high school champion at a young age, this is the blessing of the entire Jiangdong, although Luo is a rough person, but I admire you scholars the most, and you can do things for Lord Shen, you can go back and blow with your brothers for a while."
Shen Qianqiu did not regard the other party's words as simple flattery, the change of dynasties, the children of Jiangdong have long been not as united as in the Qin and Han dynasties, but after Shen Qianqiu connected the three yuan, it still caused a lot of turmoil, and many local famous families who had been estranged for a long time also began to move around one after another, and some of them even married in-laws, no longer trying to share that bit of scraps by currying favor with the powerful in the capital.
It can be said that Shen Qianqiu has single-handedly changed the unchanged Jiangdong pattern for nearly a thousand years, and he is indeed qualified to accept this praise.
……
For this crucial night, even if Shen Qianqiu made all the plans, he still had to be reminded:
"The officer stationed in the city, Xun Xiang, and the Zhou Governor's Mansion have a good relationship, and it is best for General Luo not to alarm him, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble."
"Luo knows."
The hundred households surnamed Luo gave up their hands, and then led the team towards the Zhou Mansion.
