Chapter 240： untitled

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 offshoots have always been a dog of their bloodline, come and go, and take our When the value and the resources at hand are exhausted, they leave us alone.

Dad, 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's not for myself, I also want to make a future for my grandchildren. "

Hearing Zhou Wencai's words, Zhou Changsheng had already shaken the deep-rooted servility instilled in his Zhou family, but he was still very worried, "But, son, you must know that we cooperate with this child Lin Yuelan, 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 and become a big family in the capital!"

Zhou Changsheng said in silence, "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.

The feeling of being held by a little girl's nose is not good, and even worse, being threatened by a little girl.

Not to mention, whether they cooperate or not in the future, even if they do not cooperate in the future, it is not a betrayal, but that little girl does not 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.

Therefore, although he wanted to return to the capital, he did not want this feeling of uncontrollability.

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 those thunders.

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

She even said that when there is thunder, it is thunder!

Thunder in winter is unprecedented.

He didn't think Lin Yuelan was really a monster or a monster, because he heard that the monster is 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 few thunderbolts were caused by Lin Yuelan.

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

However, he is also 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 it.

...

"Did you all hear that?"

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

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

A celestial phenomenon that is unusual and different from usual, which is very worrying and terrifying.

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

And what he meant by changing the sky meant 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!" You Shang immediately stopped in horror.

"But, this day is really abnormal!"

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

...

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

The expressions on their faces were 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 the sound of thunder."

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

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

Zhoufu Nei

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

Afterwards, Zhou Changsheng sighed and said, "Wen'er, now the whole of Anding County is talking about the thunders of yesterday!"

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

But they were terrified.

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 to tell 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 a little excitedly, "Thank you, father! Thank you, father!"

As long as he has his father's support, 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, Dad is getting old. Like you said, for the sake of future generations, we should also cheer up! However, Dad, stay in Anding. It would be good to be a seven-rank sesame official!"

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

Zhou Changsheng stretched out his hand to stop him from continuing, "Father said, father is already old, and without this kind of struggle, he just wants to live this life comfortably, and in the future, the glory of our Zhou family, Zhou Everything at home 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, and he also didn't want to be a dog for future generations, so he chose to watch on the sidelines.

Zhou Wencai choked and said, "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 into 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 Lord Ji, the prefect of Zhoushan."

"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.

"Father, since this Zhou Changsheng is so ignorant, we must show him some color," said a man with oily head and flour noodles, very angrily, "Just let him get these things in the corner of the mountain village, how dare he even dare to Push three to four!"

"That's right, Dad, you are a prefect of the prefect, and you dare to refuse when you ask him to order something from a small county magistrate!" The other man looked younger than Ji Zhongcai, but older than You Tou Fan Mian. He was two years old. Three out of ten.

"Hmph," Ji Zhongcai patted the table with an angry look on his face, "This Zhou Changsheng is just a seventh-rank sesame official, a small county magistrate, who dares to prevaricate this official by saying that there are no cherries, it is unforgivable! How can this officer forgive him!"

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

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

Ji Zhong just listened, thought for a while, and said, "Okay, you two go to Anding County to see how Zhou Changsheng lied to this official, and then teach him a profound lesson, let him remember who It's his superior."

Speaking of this, he thought about it 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, bring back those 100 catties of cherries to Dad. You know, this time Dad finally got in touch with the major officials because of this thing. In the future, Dad will go up again. Our Ji family’s capital will enjoy the prosperity and wealth, and we have to look at this hundred catties of cherries. Do you understand? ?"

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

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

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

After Ji Changjin and Ji Changxuan walked out of Ji Zhongcai's study and felt that his father couldn't hear their conversation, the two immediately began to chat happily.

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

However, after hearing this, Ji Changjin frowned slightly and said, "Third brother, we went to Anding County this time, but we went with the task that Dad gave us, not for you to eat, drink and play with women. "

Ji Changxuan waved his hand indifferently and said, "Che, I said eldest brother, but we must be looking for a place to stay in Anding County. In this case, we must live there. Since we want to live there, then understand Is it normal for people to visit that restaurant? By the way," said this, Ji Changxuan asked with a smile, "Brother, are you really not curious about this restaurant? I heard that, then A restaurant, there will be fresh vegetables available this winter."

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

Anding County

Zhoufu

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

Zhou Changsheng asked politely to the two of them clasping their fists, "I'm sorry, the two young masters, but this official's ears have been a little hard to use recently. Please say it again, who are you two?"

Ji Changxuan's nostrils turned to the sky, and he said arrogantly and rudely, "Hmph, since Lord Zhou has bad ears, I will say it again, I am Ji Changxuan, this is my eldest brother Ji Changjin, and we are from Ji Zhongcai, the prefect of Zhoushan. Two young masters. This time, Sir Zhou, can you hear it clearly?"

Zhou Changsheng listened to Ji Changxuan's introduction, and there was a "crack" in his heart, which was a little bad, but he kept his uneasiness in the bottom of his heart, and then he folded his fists again to face the two of them, and said with a smile like apologetic, "Haha, It turned 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 is really disrespectful and disrespectful!"

Zhou Changsheng belonged to people with official positions, and although Ji Changjin and Ji Changxuan were the sons of the prefects, they were neither scholars with fame, nor officials with official positions, but just civilians, so , Zhou Changsheng's self-proclaimed to them is still "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, it's good for Lord Zhou 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 himself took the lead.

Zhou Changsheng already had guesses about the purpose of the two of them, but he still said calmly, "Oh, the two young masters came to this mansion, it really makes this official's humble house more splendid! Since you have come from afar, this official must arrange for the two of you. I wonder if the two of you have a foothold 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 somewhat displeased, "Who asked you to arrange this dilapidated guest room, we want to live in the room where you come to my restaurant!"

Speaking of this accommodation, Ji Changxuan became angry.

As soon as they came to Anding County, they inquired about the location of the restaurant where you came to me. Then, the brothers took their servants and went to the restaurant. When they saw the tall and magnificent appearance of the restaurant, everyone's eyes As soon as it was bright, 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 that you came to my room to go to the restaurant, and it has always been pre-booked. 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. They thought that they would respectfully arrange everything for them. As a result, the shopkeeper directly said to them, "There is no room, if you really want to stay in a guest 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.

On the spot, they caught fire and made a fuss.

In the end, they were taken out by those guards, and the two prefect sons lost all their face.

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

Therefore, they rushed to the Zhou Mansion again, showing their prestige.

"Master Zhou, we want to live with you and come to the restaurant, you quickly arrange for us to go! Humph!" Ji Changxuan once again arrogantly emphasized.
