Chapter 356: Brotherly Matters
At the gate of the Xia Mansion, Zhou Jinnian broke up with the embarrassed Junyin Shili.
Zhou Jinnian was just about to get on his horse, but he was stopped by two warriors who saluted him.
"Little Marquis, eldest prince, please go home"
Zhou Jinnian didn't think it was strange, with his eldest brother's magical powers, he wouldn't know that he had arrived in Fengcheng.
"Got it, you guys go back first"
"Little Marquis, the eldest prince commands...... Let your subordinates follow and protect, the eldest prince, who is already waiting for the little marquis in the mansion."
Zhou Jinnian said a lot, "Hmph! I want to talk to ...... Just follow it."
Zhou Jinnian turned over his horse, waved his hand to Jun Yin who saw him off, pulled the reins, and galloped away along the street.
Zhou Jinnian remembered that four years ago, except for following his grandmother in the palace, the rest of the time, his eldest brother Zhou Jinxiu would send someone to follow him, he was annoyed, he was so old now, and he came to this trick.
The two warriors were not ambiguous, jumped on the roof wall, followed the shortcut all the way, and chased behind Zhou Jinnian, and the two parties basically arrived at the Hou Mansion at the same time.
Throwing the reins to the slave at the gate of the mansion, Zhou Jinnian strode into the courtyard.
Zhou Jinxiu had already walked out of the main hall, looking at Zhou Jinnian, who was wearing a large embroidered cloak and a lofty instrument from a distance, his face was full of pampering and joy.
Looking at Zhou Jinnian, who was taller than himself and stronger than himself, standing in front of him, Zhou Jinxiu reached out and grabbed his hand, looked left and right carefully, and the mist gradually rose in his eyes.
"Jin Nian, I've really grown up, and I've become a big boy."
Zhou Jinnian's face was angry, but he was very excited and excited in his heart, and he was still very close to the eldest brother in front of him who was often exploited and bullied by himself.
Speaking with a conscience, the eldest brother is really good to himself, he takes care of everything, what do he want...... There is nothing that can't be obtained, and he has made himself very face-saving in front of his friends.
In order to take care of himself in Fengcheng, the eldest brother took the initiative to give up the succession to the throne, gave up showing his skills in the official career, and chose to become a businessman.
The greasy and crooked relationship between the big men made Zhou Jinnian feel awkward and a little embarrassed, and said angrily: "Hmph......! I've grown up, and I still want to take care of me, this stinky problem...... I don't know how to change it?".
Zhou Jinxiu smiled, and still took Zhou Jinnian's hand and walked into the house.
"Well, it hasn't changed, it's still the original Xiao Jinnian, go, go in and talk"
Shaking off Zhou Jinxiu's hand, Zhou Jinnian hooked his lips and snickered, the eldest brother still regarded himself as a child, and deliberately snorted awkwardly.
"Hmph!Xiao Jinnian?hey...... Zhou Jinxiu, are you numb or not?"
Zhou Jinxiu laughed, "Hahaha...... It's still not big or small, at home...... It's not been repaired, is it?".
Zhou Jinnian disdainfully, "Cut! Who else...... I'm at home as verbose and annoying as you are...... It's very quiet and comfortable."
Zhou Jinxiu smiled, Zhang Luoluo, "Okay, I'm verbose, sit down, come, wipe your hands with a hot towel." Come, take a sip of tea ...... first. ”
Sitting opposite Zhou Jinnian, Zhou Jinxiu's eyes were full of spoiling, and from the tray in the maid's hand, while personally serving all kinds of novel snacks, while persuading him in his mouth, he was not idle for a moment.
"Come on, eat a piece first, your favorite chestnut cake, brother has just made it. Oh, try this passion fruit crisp, you haven't eaten it before...... This honey fruit is a new form, so try it......"
"Hey, Zhou Jinxiu, are you annoyed? You are not annoyed, I want to ...... I'm annoyed by you, look, I've only got a mouth"
Zhou Jinnian complained, but he ate happily, the capital is different, the dim sum is full of tricks, look at the dim sum piled up, he has never seen half of it, everything is surprisingly delicious.
I lived in a couple, and after more than four years, I was born behind, and the originally well-informed gentleman was about to become a hillbilly.
Time has taken away a lot of things, Zhou Jinnian laughed out loud.
handed Zhou Jinnian a handkerchief to interject, Zhou Jinxiu also smiled lovingly, "Eat slowly, there are many kinds, brother will make them for you to eat, yo, slow down...... Choking, come, drink saliva...... How old are you, a father...... I don't know how to take care of myself yet, come to someone".
The housekeeper came in and saluted, "Son, please command."
"Butler, start cooking now, and come up early for lunch"
"Yes!"
After a storm of wind and clouds, Zhou Jinnian's stomach was no longer empty, he looked up at his eldest brother Zhou Jinxiu, blinked twice, and poured him an unprecedented cup of tea.
"Brother, take a break, Zhang Luoluo's ...... Aren't you tired, come, have a cup of tea."
Zhou Jinxiu glanced at Zhou Jinnian with a smile, "Say, what's the matter?"
was seen to pass on the matter, Zhou Jinnian shook his head, and pouted in embarrassment, no way, his eldest brother is too smart, and the little Jiujiu in his belly is accurate when he sees it, and he is considered to have been thoroughly eaten by him.
"Hmm?...... Brother, help me find someone, a ...... Woman"
Zhou Jinxiu sighed in her heart, "Tell me, what kind of stunning beauty is it......? Run away, and let your father and mother be afraid of you." 4E
Zhou Jinnian's eyes sparkled, "I'm looking for ...... Flute player...... That little musician, the eldest brother should remember, is the ...... That stool slave".
Zhou Jinxiu was still shocked in his heart, he was afraid of anything, and hurriedly dispelled Zhou Jinnian's thoughts.
"She's Dead"
"No! she's not dead! Someone has seen her, for sure. Big brother, you must help me...... Find her, oh, her real name...... It's called Zhen Xiaowu."
Zhou Jinxiu not only knows Xiao Wu, but also knows her well, and the transcript of her palace case file is placed on the desk of her study, which is recorded:
Xue'er, formerly known as Zhen Xiaowu, lives in Fengwu Township, thirty miles east of Fengcheng, and her father, Zhen Guang, is a gambler. At the age of nine, he sold himself into the palace, worked as a maid in the Zhou Gong Palace, was transferred to the Dance and Music Division as a musician, and later worked as a bench slave, and did hard labor in the lower house, and at the age of 12, he was beaten to death by a stick because of a mistake.
Zhou Jinxiu already knew that Zhen Xiaowu not only did not die, but was also secretly cultivated by changing his name and surname, and became a secret room in Da Zhou, but he never found out that Xiao Wu belonged to that department.
It can be seen that she is deeply hidden.
Zhou Jinxiu can be sure that Xiao Wu's secret level is very high, and it is estimated that he is not directly under King Zhou, but also directly under Zhou Dan, who accepts high-level secret orders, and is responsible for investigation, detection and assassination.
The most hateful thing is that she was found by Zhen Xiaowu with some clues, and she was also looking for her, wanting to eradicate future troubles.
This dangerous woman must not be touched by her younger brother, otherwise, it will ruin her father's affairs.
Zhou Jinxiu pretended to be confused, "She is really dead, at your request, my brother asked people to check and find out...... Brother also inquired about the tomb that Duke Zhou built for her...... The guards who buried her confirmed that she was buried there after she was killed, and I don't believe it, but Brother Nari made ...... Take you to see it, and by the way, pay a good tribute, and save her ghost...... Pestering you again".
Pulling Zhou Jinxiu's robe sleeves, Zhou Jinnian became angry, "She's not dead! Someone has seen her at the gate of Nancheng, she killed the secret head of the big businessman, it won't be wrong, I have long felt ...... She can't die."
Seeing that Zhou Jinsheng was in a hurry, Zhou Jinxiu stabilized his mind, knowing that with his ability, if he wanted to find a secret secret room, it would be more difficult than climbing to the sky, so he was busy haha.
"Hey, in this world, looks alike...... How many words? A weak girl can kill the head of the dark who can be good at martial arts, such words...... Okay, you said you weren't dead...... It's not dead, brother, help you...... Just look for it again, so that you will completely die."
Zhou Miannian's face was a lot more relaxed, "Okay! brother, you must help me...... Find her, you don't know, she is good at kung fu, and she is also jealous and hateful, and killed that thug, I think...... That's her".
Zhou Jinxiu wanted to know more about the situation, so she diverted the topic, "Jinnian, she is a ...... Branded slave, if you do this, your father will be displeased."
Zhou Jinnian took a sip of tea, "Brother, I'm obedient...... It's been long enough, what should be done...... I've done it all, and my father, mother, and concubine also have grandchildren, so I can't ...... I have always wronged myself, I want to find her...... with her for the rest of her life".
"She's that good?"
Zhou Jinnian's face crossed a touch of shyness, "How good is it...... Not necessarily, she is true and pure, brave and strong, and clever and intelligent, it is she who is ...... The guide encouraged me and I am grateful to her and ...... miss her".
Zhou Jinxiu shook her head, "Reputation, future, parents, women who give birth to their own children...... Jin Nian, you are a man, you are responsible, and the future of the family ...... It's all on you, how can you ......be a woman?
Zhou Jinnian interrupted, "Okay, big brother, I'm not that material, and I don't like it, I have you to help my father...... That's enough, don't force me...... Doing what I don't like."
"I'm a businessman"
"You may also become a Hou Ye, originally ...... Title...... It should belong to Big Brother."
"Nonsense!"
The corners of Zhou Jinxiu's mouth moved slightly, and a smile that seemed to be absent passed by.
Only I know in my heart that I have long been discouraged by my father's partiality, but I don't care about it at this time, and what I see is a higher position and honor.
Three-year-olds look big, seven-year-olds look old.
His younger brother Zhou Jinnian has been successfully spoiled by himself as a useless swinger.
Although he has made progress in the past few years, when he has no ambition and ambition after all, what Zhou Jinnian is entangled in his heart is a woman's love and love, which is destined to have no future.
Zhou Jinxiu also took a sip of tea and suppressed the complexity that surged in her heart, "Okay, don't talk about her, what are your plans to come to the capital?"
"No, just to find her"
"You're not going to see Grandmother?"
"No, I sneaked back and saw my grandmother...... will definitely scold me, and drive me back, if I don't find Zhen Xiaowu, I won't go anywhere. Of course, I tried to keep a low profile as much as possible, so that my grandmother could not let her know and save her old people from being sad."
Zhou Jinnian's words, just like Zhou Jinxiu's intentions, were very afraid that he would be bold and reckless, and he would go outside to cause trouble and ruin the upcoming plan.
The father has written to explain that he should stabilize Zhou Jinnian first, and if it doesn't work, he will be directly imprisoned.
Of course, as a last resort, Zhou Jinxiu didn't want to go that far, after all, he still liked this younger brother who grew up.
"Well, the royal liner...... It's amazing, it's good to be low-key."
Zhou Jinnian nodded, "I'll pay attention, big brother, tomorrow night, find me an unsightly private room, I want to invite a few friends to get together."
Seeing that Zhou Jinnian's mood was depressed, Zhou Jinxiu didn't ask much, and agreed, "Okay! Let's go to Wanhualou, I'll let Sun Erniang arrange it."
