With such doubts, Zhou Ziheng's attitude towards Zhao Yu also improved a lot, and he took the initiative to talk to him.

But it hasn't eased for long, and Zhao Yu has regained his old ways.

Obviously, I bought flowers, and the atmosphere was very harmonious, everyone ate melons and fruits together, and my sister told them what they should pay attention to when raising flowers.

Zhao Yu suddenly said that he wanted to go to the Great Compassion Temple tomorrow and asked his sister if she was free.

Zhou Ziheng said that he was going to be strange again, and he just wanted to find a reason to refuse for his sister, but he didn't want his sister to just respond.

"Brother Zhao Yu and Brother Ning Yuan rarely come to us and the county, and my sister naturally wants to do her best to be a landlord and accompany the two brothers to take a walk."

Li Yangang made an appointment with them, and Mrs. Zhou sent her mother-in-law to urge the meal.

Li Yan asked Xiao Qi to bring a few carp raised at home.

Since Xiao Qi's fishing skills were excavated by Kumquat, Kumquat sent this fishing expert to Qingshui Lake to catch fish every other day, Xiao Qi did not fail every time, and he couldn't finish eating except for letting the old doctor take a little by the way, and the excess kumquat was kept in the fish tank.

There were still a lot of dishes left over from the luncheon, and Mrs. Zhou asked the servants to buy a few dishes, plus the fish sent by Li Yan, and the dinner was also very rich.

After the banquet, Xiao Qi and Grandma returned to Yaoxiangtang, and Li Yan stayed overnight in Zhou's mansion.

Not long after the epidemic passed, the evening market was not open, the streets were very deserted, and Ning Yuan and they didn't bother to go out.

After eating, they drank a few cups of tea in the hall and went back to their rooms.

Mrs. Zhou left a pair of children to narrate.

"Heng'er, at the dinner, you had such a cold attitude towards that classmate named Zhao Yu, did you quarrel with him?

"I didn't have a good lunch before, it's only been half a day, what happened?"

Zhou Ziheng was indifferent to Zhao Yu during the banquet and did not shy away from others.

Mother can see it, and it is not strange for Zhou Ziheng to ask one or two.

Immediately said bluntly, "I had a general relationship with him in the academy, he knew about my sister's rumors, and after knowing that our two families were going to recognize each other, he suddenly became close to me, and when he heard that I was back to participate in the recognition ceremony, he took the initiative to follow." I think this man is not pure-minded, and he is deliberately approaching his sister. ”

Zhou Ziheng groaned, "During the banquet, he mentioned the Hanging Master several times, and also proposed to let his sister accompany him to the Temple of Compassion, isn't it just to take advantage of his sister's convenience to ask to see the Hanging Master. ”

Mrs. Zhou's expression turned cold after hearing this, "These people from all the world, which one of them is not scheming and has means, if there is an opportunity in front of them, these people's noses are smarter than dogs." ”

"If this person wants to take advantage of your sister, don't be too polite to him."

Zhou Ziheng bowed his head, "Mother said yes. ”

Mrs. Zhou praised him again, "You are worthy of this matter, such a person, you will have less contact in the future." ”

Zhou Ziheng said, "When I return to the academy, I will gradually distance myself from him." ”

thought that the righteous daughter should accept Zhao Yu.

Mrs. Zhou said to Li Yan again, "Tomorrow, the Great Compassion Temple, if Yan'er is not good at refusing, the hostess will speak for you, just find a reason to deal with it." ”

Since she didn't plan to interact with anyone, Mrs. Zhou didn't even want to do superficial work.

Li Yan's thoughts are different from those of mother and son, "I think my brother should not alienate Zhao Gongzi, but maintain a good relationship with Zhao Gongzi." ”

Mrs. Zhou knew that her daughter would not be untargeted, so she said to her son, "Don't stand, sit down and listen to your sister." ”

It means that she only said it once before, and in the end, Li Yan had to take the idea.

Zhou Ziheng sat down as he said, Li Yan got up and refilled his tea, and looked at Mrs. Zhou, "My stepmother should know that Zhao Gongzi is from a Lingnan family." ”

Mrs. Zhou nodded, "Your brother mentioned this to me, and Zhao Yu himself said it when he held a banquet at noon." ”

Li Yan asked again, "Does the stepmother know that his father is Zhao Yuan, the assassin of Lingnan, and his mother is the Wang family of the four major families of Wang Xie Yan and Zhao?" ”

Mrs. Zhou was shocked, "Is his father Zhao Yuan?" ”

Mrs. Zhou thought that this son was just from an ordinary family, and she didn't want this person to be the son of Zhao Yuan, the third rank assassin, but this was a high-ranking official who was many levels higher than her husband.

Li Yan nodded, "It's Zhao Yuan, this person really shouldn't be guilty." If my brother has a dislike for him, no matter how good Zhao Yu is, he must be uncomfortable in his heart. If he has the heart to embarrass one or two, his brother is afraid that it will be difficult to make progress in the academy. ”

Naturally, the cheap dad will not be better, the official big man crushed people to death, and the assassination history pressed the county order I don't know how many levels.

Just give cheap daddy shoes to wear, it's enough to choke.

Zhou Ziheng snorted, "What's wrong with Gongzi Shi, I'm not afraid of him." ”

"Brother is naturally not afraid of him."

Li Yan's eyes moved slightly, and she said with a smile, "But if he is narrow-minded and has the heart to retaliate, I am afraid that his father-in-law will be harmed."

"Now that the official prestige of the father-in-law is flourishing, as long as an opportunity arises at the right time, he can rise to the top. If the villain is troubled, there will be bad rumors, and only side lines will be born. ”

Gu Xuan returned to Beijing, and this opportunity would soon befall Zhou Bi.

Although it won't be long, Zhou Bi will definitely be transferred and leave.

But in officialdom, it is better to have one more friend than one more enemy.

There is one thing Li Yan didn't say, what Zhao Yu made her jealous was not because he had a father with a three-grade assassination history.

It's not that her mother is from the Wang family with the four surnames.

It's that his father also has a sister-in-law, and this sister-in-law entered the government to serve the emperor.

Jieyu, who has sealed the third grade, is not terrible Jieyu of the third grade, but the terrible thing is that no one knows the old emperor's partiality and favor for her.

The emperor's mental technique, even Zhao Jieyu herself may not know it at this moment.

In the twenty-eighth year of the great cause, it collapsed, the middle palace was suspended, and the hearts of the people in the harem were floating.

At this time, Zhao Yu wanted to ask to see the Hanging Master, so what was going on can be imagined.

Li Yan can learn this, and she will not live for a lifetime.

In her previous life, the emperor died and was succeeded by the third prince, before her death.

After the concubine died, the wounded were injured, Zhao Jieyu was still alive and well, and she was promoted to the concubine.

It is inconvenient to discuss this matter with Mrs. Zhou's mother and son.

Mrs. Zhou said indifferently, "Your father has been a county magistrate for so many years, and I don't expect him to be much of an official, and the family is safe, healthy, and healthy, better than anything else." ”

"You are thinking about your father, and your mother knows."

Mrs. Zhou's eyes shot coldly, "But if the side has bad intentions for you, even if it affects your father, my stepmother will never allow it." ”

Zhou Ziheng clenched his fists, and the cold light in his eyes was revealed, "If Zhao Yu dares to be unfavorable to his sister, I will be the first to spare him." ”

Mother and son are bent on defending her.

Li Yan's heart was touched, this is her family.

When she noticed that something was wrong, she was the first to remind her, and the first thing that came to mind was not her own interests, but her safety.

Unlike in her previous life, those so-called relatives only wanted to eat her human blood steamed buns, and watched her go to hell with pride.

In this life, she is fortunate to get this happiness!

She naturally has to protect this true love.

"In fact, Zhao Yu's approach, I can also understand, it doesn't matter if he doesn't use it, as long as he doesn't harm people, doesn't endanger the Zhou Mansion, and endangers his father, I'm willing to help him."

Li Yan persuaded softly, "Mother, Brother Ziheng, from my point of view, although Zhao Yu is a little scheming, this person should not be bad." There is no malice towards me, the old monk can speak to me, and for the sake of earning so much silver taels from him, I have to repay one or two. ”

Speaking of this, Mrs. Zhou became energetic, "How much silver did you sell them for that flower?" ”

Referring to the silver from selling flowers, Li Yan sneered, "I still make a lot of money." ”

"Ning Gongzi's pot of colored clouds chasing the moon received 2,000, and Zhao Gongzi's pot of jade rabbit colored butterflies received 8,000."

She gestured to her fingers, "The two of them have a total of eight thousand taels." ”
