Lin Yuelan looked at the carriage that went away, the corners of her mouth outlined a certain arc, and the smile on her face was like a ray of sunshine in this cold winter, melting the cold white snow.

    On the carriage, Zhou Changsheng asked Zhou Wencai a little uneasy, and said, "Wen'er, do we really want to do this?"

    Zhou Wencai said very firmly, "Dad, didn't you hear Lin Yuelan say, we Zhou family's side branches have always been a dog of their bloodline, and they will come when they are called. Just linger and leave us alone when we run out of our value and resources.

    Father, even if you want to continue to be a dog of the Zhou family, I don't want my children and grandchildren to follow our path and be their dog.

    So, Dad, I want to fight, even if it is not for myself, I also want to make a future for my grandchildren. "

    Hearing Zhou Wencai's words, Zhou Changsheng has shaken the deep-rooted servility instilled in his Zhou family, but he is still very worried, "But, son, you must know that we have this relationship with Lin Yuelan. Children cooperate, in case of failure, our Zhou family will have nothing!"

    Zhou Wencai said, "But Dad, you also said that this is in case of failure. If we don't fail, then our Zhou family will really be the masters of the house and become a big family in the capital. !"

    Zhou Changsheng said silently, "Although we are cooperating with the child Lin Yuelan, your father feels that she is deeply controlled by her!" This is the real reason why he is reluctant to cooperate reason.

    The feeling of being held by a little girl's nose is very bad, and even worse, being threatened by a little girl.

    Don't say, they will cooperate or not in the future, even if they do not cooperate in the future, they can't be called betrayal, but that little girl doesn't allow them to do that.

    In other words, in the cooperation with Lin Yuelan, the initiative from beginning to end is in Lin Yuelan's hands.

    So, although he wants to go back to the capital, he doesn't want this feeling of being out of control.

    However, at present, there is only one way to return to the capital, otherwise, they will always be in this barren Anding County.

    Hearing his father's words, Zhou Wencai was silent for a moment, and then said, "Father, as long as we don't touch Lin Yuelan's bottom line, I believe she won't do anything to us?"

    He thought of the mines.

    He felt more and more that this Lin Yuelan was unfathomable.

    She said it was thunder!

    The winter thunder is unprecedented.

    He didn't think Lin Yuelan was really a monster or a monster, because he heard that monsters and monsters were most afraid of thunder and lightning, but he didn't dare to think deeply about the mystery of Lin Yuelan.

    His intuition told him that those thunders were caused by Lin Yuelan.

    Therefore, he believes that as long as it does not touch Lin Yuelan's bottom line, Lin Yuelan is not the kind of perfidious villain, and will never do anything to them.

    However, like his father, the feeling of being led by the nose, especially by a little girl is very bad, but at present, they can only accept .

    …

    "Did you hear that?"

    "Well, I heard! On a sunny day in winter, there will be thunder."

    "You said, this... what's going on?"

    A celestial phenomenon that is unusual and unusual, which is very worrying and fearful.

    "You said, will it be..." Will it change?

    And what he meant to change was the change of the person at the top.

    It's just that they didn't dare to say such outrageous words at will, because if they spread it out, it was a matter of beheading and destroying the nine clans.

    "Shh, I can't say it, I can't say it!" Yu Shang immediately stopped in horror.

    "But, this day is really abnormal!"

    "Yeah, who knows what's going on?"

    …

    Almost the whole village was talking about yesterday's winter thunder shaking.

    The expressions on their faces are not a trace of curiosity or surprise, but only surprise, panic, fear, anxiety and panic.

    Then

    Anding County

    "Did you hear that?"

    "Well, I heard thunder."

    "Yes, in this winter, where did the thunder come from?"

    "That's right, it's so abnormal. It's obviously a big winter, but there will be thunder! It's incredible!"

    In the Zhou House

    The Zhou family sat quietly in the living room, looking at each other silently, but their hearts were very uneasy.

    Afterwards, Zhou Changsheng sighed and said, "Wen'er, people in Anding County are talking about yesterday's thunder!"

    Zhou Wencai nodded and said, "Yes, Dad, they are all talking about this."

    But they still have lingering fears.

    They dare not think about whether this Lin Yuelan is a human or a demon, or even a fairy, but no matter what it is, they have no way out.

    After a while, Zhou Changsheng sighed and said, "Wen'er, from now on, our Zhou family will depend on you!"

    This is telling Zhou Wencai that he has completely handed over the cooperation with Lin Yuelan to him.

    Zhou Wencai was surprised and delighted, and said to his father with some excitement, "Thank you father! Thank you father!"

    As long as he has the support of his father, then he may completely let go of his cooperation with Lin Yuelan in the future.

    Zhou Changsheng walked up to him, patted him on the shoulder, and said earnestly, "Wen'er, father is getting old. Like you said, for the sake of future generations, we should also cheer up! However, Dad, it's better to stay in Anding County and be a rank seven sesame official!"

    Zhou Wencai was stunned for a moment, and said very suspiciously, "Dad, you..."

    Zhou Changsheng stretched out his hand to stop him from continuing, "Dad said, Daddy is already old, without this kind of exhaustion, I just want to live this life comfortably, and in the future , the glory of our Zhou family, everything of the Zhou family is handed over to you."

    Looking at the strands of white hair between his father's temples, Zhou Wen suddenly understood what his father meant.

    He couldn't betray the Zhou family, nor did he want to be a dog for future generations, so he chose to watch.

    Zhou Wencai choked, "Yes, Dad!"

    The next day, Zhou Wencai quietly left Anding County.

    Zhou Changsheng took Ji Zhongcai's letter, faced the stove, lit it directly from the corner of the paper, and then, until the whole paper turned to ashes.

    Zhou Changsheng looked at the stove and said, "It's a blessing, not a disaster, it's a disaster that can't be avoided!"

    Afterwards, he spread out the paper, wrote a letter, sealed it, and said to the housekeeper, "You have someone deliver this letter to the Zhoushan prefect, Lord Ji."

    "Yes!"

    Zhoushan City Ji Mansion

    In the study, three men stood.

    "Damn, what a Zhou Changsheng!" Ji Zhongcai took the letter from Anding County and was furious.

    "Dad, since this Zhou Changsheng is so ignorant, we must give him some color to see," said a man with oily and pink noodles angrily, "Just let him get it in the corner of the mountain village. These are just a few things, and you dare to push three to four!"

    "That's right, Daddy, you are a prefect of the prefecture, and you dare to refuse when you ask him to order something from a small county magistrate. It's abominable!" The other man was younger than Ji Zhongcai. , but he is older than the oil head noodles, and he looks like 23 years old.

    "Humph," Ji Zhongcai patted the table with a look of anger, "This Zhou Changsheng is just a seventh-rank sesame official, a small county magistrate, and dare to say that there are no cherries, come here Prevarication of this official is simply unforgivable! How can this official forgive him!"

    The two sons immediately nodded in agreement, "Yes, Dad, he is simply unforgivable, Dad, can't forgive him!"

    Then, the two looked at each other, the man with oily head and pink noodles rolled his eyes and said to his father, "Dad, my eldest brother and I will go to Anding County to see this Is what Zhou Changsheng said in the letter true or false? If he really intends to deceive you, my eldest brother and I will definitely not let him go, father, do you think?"

    Ji Zhong finally listened, thought for a while, and said, "Well, you two go to Anding County to see how Zhou Changsheng lied to this official, and then give him a deep impression. Lesson, let him remember who is his superior."

    Speaking of this, he thought for a while, looked at his two sons very seriously and said, "Jin'er, Xuan'er, you went to Anding County this time, no matter what, take that One hundred catties of cherries were brought back to Dad. You know, Dad finally got in touch with major officials because of this thing this time. In the future, Dad will go up again. Our Ji family’s capital will enjoy prosperity and wealth, and we have to look at this Hundred kilograms of cherries, you know?"

    The brothers immediately said cautiously and solemnly, "Yes, Dad! The child will not be humiliated!"

    Ji Zhongcai nodded reassuringly, "Okay, you all get ready, go to Anding County tomorrow!"

    "Yes, Dad!" The two brothers said in unison.

     

     "Brother, I heard that there is a restaurant in Anding County. You come to my restaurant, and you live comfortably." Ji Changxuan, the man with oily head and noodles, said excitedly, "The bed there is very soft and warm. , the food there is fragrant and delicious, and what is even more strange is that the restaurant has recruited a lot of girls. These girls are prettier than the girls in Yicuiyuan. They are specially for the guests. They brought wine and tea."

    Only, this Ji Changjin frowned slightly and said, "Third brother, we went to Anding County this time, but we went with the task given to us by father, not to let You go to eat, drink and play with women."

    Ji Changxuan waved his hand indifferently and said, "Cut, I said eldest brother, but we must be looking for a place to stay in Anding County. In that case, we must live there. Since you want to live there, it's human nature to know about that restaurant. Say," said this, Ji Changxuan asked with a smile, "Brother, are you really not curious about this restaurant, you come and I go to the restaurant Is it? I heard that the restaurant will supply fresh vegetables this winter."

    Ji Changjin glanced at Ji Changxuan, then strode away without a glance.

    Anding County

    Zhou House

    On this day, two arrogant young men came to the Zhou residence.

    Zhou Changsheng asked the two of them very politely, "I'm sorry, the two gentlemen, but the ears of this official have been a little difficult recently. Please say it again, who are you two?"

    Ji Changxuan's nostrils turned upwards, and he said arrogantly and rudely, "Hmph, since Lord Zhou has bad ears, then I will say it again, I am Ji Changxuan, this is my elder brother Ji Changjin , we are the two sons of Ji Zhongcai, the prefect of Zhoushan. This time, can Master Zhou hear clearly?"

    Zhou Changsheng listened to Ji Changxuan's introduction, and his heart squeaked, and it was a little bad, but he suppressed his uneasiness in the bottom of his heart, and then he clasped his fists at the two again, smiling charmingly He said apologetically, "Haha, it turns out to be the two sons of Master Ji. The two sons have come from a long way, and this official has failed to welcome them from afar. It's really disrespectful!"

    Zhou Changsheng is a person with an official position, and although Ji Changjin and Ji Changxuan are the sons of the prefect, they are neither scholars, famous, nor official Officials are just civilians, so Zhou Changsheng still calls them "the official".

    Ji Changxuan listened to Zhou Changsheng's words, a man with his head raised high, like a big proud rooster, he hummed to Zhou Changsheng, "Hmph, Master Zhou is good to know. ."

    Zhou Changsheng immediately made a "please" gesture and said, "Two young masters, please take a seat." Then he said to the servant, "Look at the tea!"

    After that, he took the first place himself.

    The purpose of the two of them came, Zhou Changsheng had already guessed in his heart, but he still said calmly, "Oh, the two sons came to this mansion, it really makes me so humble The house is full of brilliance! Since the two of you have come from afar, then this official must arrange for the two of them. I wonder if the two of you have a place to stay now? If not, this official will immediately arrange for the servants to go to the guest room for the two young masters?"

    Hearing this, Ji Changxuan immediately said a little displeased, "Who asked you to arrange this dilapidated guest room, we want to live in the room where you come and go to the restaurant!"

    Speaking of this accommodation, Ji Changxuan was very angry.

    As soon as they came to Anding County, they inquired about the location of the restaurant where you came to me, and then the brothers took their servants and went to the restaurant. With a grand appearance, everyone's eyes lit up, and then, very domineering, he walked into the restaurant, said he wanted to stay, and quickly arranged the best room or something.

    It's just a pity, you come to my room to go to the restaurant, you have always reserved in advance, if you don't have a reservation, then I'm sorry, there is no room.

    So, when they heard that there was no room, they were so angry that they reported directly to the house, thinking that they would respectfully arrange everything for them, but the shopkeeper directly said to them, "No The room is available, if you really want to stay in a room, please go to the front desk to book a queue."

    When they asked when they could get a room, it turned out to be three days later.

    They became angry on the spot and made a fuss.

     

    Later, some people secretly told them that this restaurant was related to the county magistrate.

    So, they came to the Zhou Mansion again with great momentum, showing their prestige.
