Chapter 299

A carriage stopped slowly outside the gate of the minister's house of the Ministry of war, and the servant girl helped Zhou Zhen down from the car.

It was at this time that a young man with a round body and cheeks came with the boy and shouted, "big sister!"

Zhou Yi turned his head and saw that it was his brother Zhou Zhi.

Seeing the oil paper bag in the hands of the young man behind him, Zhou Yi reluctantly said, "brother, have you gone out to buy food again?"

"Yes, the crispy roast duck in Heshi street is still hot. Would you like to have a taste?"

Zhou Yi quickly shook his head: "you'd better eat by yourself."

She was too stupid when she was a child. She would eat whatever her brother ate. Otherwise, would it be like this? Hey, big brother missed her.

"Then I won't leave it for you?"

Zhou Zhen looked at him. As they walked towards the house, she couldn't help sighing and whispered, "brother, you should eat less. It's hard to find a daughter-in-law if you're so fat."

Of course, if only one person between her and her big brother can lose weight, let her lose weight.

The young man said straightforwardly, "what are you doing looking for your daughter-in-law? My mother nags all day. My head hurts. Shall I marry another daughter-in-law and nag together?"

"Try to talk to your father and see if he can break your leg..."

"So I never told my father." Zhou Zhi looked at his sister's clothes and asked in a low voice, "which house are you going to today? Don't be Xia's house again?"

Zhou Zhen asked noncommittally, "what's the matter with the Xia family?"

"That Xia Si girl has never been a good friend..." Zhou Zhi sighed: "you don't like her, so why force yourself to get so close to her."

"I don't want to force myself." Zhou duanban joked, "if eldest brother can also come back with a champion, why should I flatter others?"

Zhou Zhi opened his mouth.

What does this have to do with whether he is the top or not?

His father is now the Minister of the Ministry of military affairs. The Zhou family also has a place in Beijing. He thinks it is very good now.

But my sister still has to squeeze up. She always thinks about things beyond her ability. If he really wins the first prize, she may still feel that she doesn't stand high enough——

He didn't want to work hard for these ethereal things.

He can read books, but Uncle Xu said that reading is to understand reason. As for fame, it is incidental. There is no need to force it.

It's good to save your leisure and energy and eat more delicious food.

The eldest sister really couldn't take it easy. She had eaten well. Why did she suddenly choose to be hungry.

Brother and sister thought differently, and they thought they couldn't go together, so they separated in the front yard.

Zhou Zhen returned to the hospital. As soon as he sat down, he heard the big servant girl say, "earlier, Miss Xia Si asked someone to send a letter to her."

Xia Xi?

Zhou Zhen had some expectations in his heart. However, after reading the letter, he still frowned in confusion.

Zhan yunjiao

Why does Xia Xi suddenly want to see Zhan yunjiao?

……

At night, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse, and it is good weather when the sun turns.

Zhou zhe went out early in the morning and took a carriage to an old folk house in the south of the city.

Rao Shi has chosen the most common clothes and jewelry today. Standing here at this time, she is still out of tune with the surrounding scene.

This is what she asked people to inquire about yesterday afternoon. It is the place where the mother and daughter of the family now live.

Zhou Zhen covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief, tiptoed through a dirty alley and stopped in front of a small yard.

The servant girl came forward and knocked at the door.

"Who?"

Behind the door came the sound of a girl on alert.

Zhou Zhen knew it clearly.

Living in such a place, an orphan girl and a widowed mother can't compare with the tranquility of Qingyun square.

"Jiao Jiao, it's me." she stepped forward and replied aloud.

The people inside seemed to react for a while before opening the door.

Seeing the man standing outside the door, Zhan yunjiao was stunned and surprised: "it's really miss Zhou. I just thought I heard wrong!"

Zhou Zhen smiled.

I didn't recognize her just now.

After all, it's not very familiar.

"Why did Miss Zhou come here?" asked Zhan yunjiao as she invited people to the hospital.

Intuition told her that Zhou Zhen could never come to see her joke. In the end, there was no festival in the past, so he couldn't make such a mistake.

"Come and see you." Zhou Zhen looked around the courtyard and sighed, "you and your aunt are really suffering."

While talking, he took the money bag from the servant girl and stuffed it: "I heard that my aunt is ill. This is my intention..."

Zhan yunjiao was stunned.

"How can I accept Miss Zhou's silver..."

Seeing her mouth saying this, she clenched her purse tightly with both hands. She didn't even dare to be polite. For fear that she would lose her politeness, Zhou knew that the other party's life must be very difficult and embarrassed.

"It doesn't matter. Give it back to me when you're rich in the future."

After a moment of embarrassment, Zhan yunjiao said, "thank you, Miss Zhou."

He immediately asked someone to go to the hall for tea.

Zhou Zhen didn't want to delay. He said, "I won't drink tea. In fact, I did have another thing when I came here today."

Sure enough, I went to the three treasures hall without anything

If things don't work out, won't you have to take back the silver?

Zhan yunjiao pressed down her uneasiness and asked carefully, "what's the matter?"

"Miss Xia Si wants to see you." Zhou Zhen no longer beat around the bush.

Xia Xi... Want to see her?!

Thinking of the past between the two families, Zhan yunjiao subconsciously wanted to refuse, but due to the money bag, she still pressed her mind and asked, "Miss Xia si... Why do you suddenly want to see me?"

I can't see her the day before yesterday. I saw a joke, so I have to trouble her, right?

"I'm just a messenger, and I don't know much." Zhou Zhen said with a smile, "but don't worry, it's not necessarily a bad thing - if you're worried that Miss Xia Si is trying to embarrass you for the sake of the old two families, it's even more superfluous. Think about it. If she really wants to do something, why bother to invite you to Xia mansion?"

"Going to Xiafu?" Zhan yunjiao was even more surprised.

"Yes, but go quietly." Zhou said, "I'll go with you. Just be at ease."

"But..." Zhan yunjiao still had no bottom in her heart and hesitated repeatedly in her eyes.

"Jiao Jiao, don't think I'm talking directly..." Zhou Zhen sighed slightly: "if there's no one to help you, you won't last long. Maybe it's an opportunity to go to Xia mansion this time."

Opportunity

Zhan yunjiao held the purse tightly in her hand, and her emotions surged in her heart.

These days, she has experienced too many difficult situations that she didn't dare to think about in the past. Because her mother-in-law's family is very close, she doesn't dare to help her and her mother at all.

My mother is either crying or coughing all day. It's difficult to eat at home. She even takes money to burn incense and worship Buddha every day. She can kill people alive

Now she can't count on anyone but herself

Let's go... She really doesn't believe what Xia Xi dares to do to her in Xia mansion!
