Chapter 300: Distress
Chapter 300 Distress
A carriage slowly stopped outside the gate of the Minister of War, and the maid helped Zhou Yu get down from the carriage.
At this time, a young man with a round body and cheeks came with a young man and shouted, "Big sister!"
Zhou Wei turned his head to look, and saw that it was his elder brother Zhou Zhi.
Seeing the oil-paper bag in the hands of the little servant behind him, Zhou Yu said helplessly, “Big brother went out to buy food again?”
"Yes, the crispy roast duck in Heshi Street is still hot. Sister, would you like to try it?"
Zhou Wei shook his head quickly: "You'd better eat it yourself."
She was too stupid when she was a child. She would follow whatever the elder brother ate. If not, would it be like this? Hey, the eldest brother mistaken her.
"Then I really won't keep it for you?"
Zhou Yan glanced at him, the two brothers and sisters walked into the house, she couldn't help sighing and whispering: "Big brother, you should eat less, too fat, so it's not easy to find a wife."
Of course, if only one person between her and her elder brother can lose weight, let her lose weight.
The young man said straightforwardly: "What do you want to do with a daughter-in-law? My mother's nagging all the time, my head hurts. Should I marry another daughter-in-law and chat with me?"
"Try to tell your father this, and see if he can break your leg..."
"So I never tell my father." Zhou Zhi glanced at his sister's clothes and asked in a low voice, "Which house did I go to today? Don't it be the Xia family again?"
Zhou Yan asked noncommitantly: "What happened to the Xia family?"
"That Xia Si girl has never been a friendly person..." Zhou Zhi sighed: "You don't like her, so why force yourself to be so close to her."
"I don't want to force myself either." Zhou Yan said half-heartedly, "If the eldest brother can also get the top pick, why should I go to court others?"
Zhou Zhi opened his mouth.
What does this have to do with his failure to hit the top pick?
Father is now the minister of war, and their Zhou family has a place in Beijing. He thinks it is already very good now.
But my sister still has to squeeze upwards, always thinking about things that are beyond her ability. If he really hits the top pick, she might still feel that she is not standing tall enough—
He didn't want to work hard for these illusory and endless things.
He can read books, but Uncle Xu said that reading is for reason. As for fame, it is easy to follow, and you don’t need to deliberately force it.
The spare time and energy saved, it’s great to eat more and delicious.
The eldest sister really can’t think about it. Why did she choose to starve herself suddenly when she ate well.
The two brothers and sisters had different thoughts, and each felt that they could not go together, so they separated in the front yard.
Zhou Yu returned to the courtyard and just sat down, he listened to the maid’s preaching: “Earlier, Miss Xia sent a letter to the girl.”
Xia Xi?
Zhou Wei had a faint expectation in her heart, but after reading the letter, she still frowned in confusion.
Zhan Yunjiao...
Why did Xia Xi suddenly want to see Zhan Yunjiao?
……
The moon is sparse at night, and the next day is good weather.
Zhou Wei went out early in the morning and rode a carriage to an old house in the south of the city.
Rao is that she has picked the most common clothes and jewelry today. Standing here at this time, she still looks out of tune with the surrounding scene.
This is what she asked people to inquire about yesterday afternoon, and accounted for the place where the mother and daughter of the family now live.
Zhou Wei covered his mouth and nose with a veil, tipped his toes through a messy alley, and stopped in front of a small courtyard.
The maid came forward and knocked on the door.
"Who?"
Behind the door came the voice of a girl guarding against temptation.
Zhou Wei knew it all in her heart.
Widows and orphans live in this kind of place, so naturally it is not safer and quieter than Qingyunfang.
"Jiaojiao, it's me." She took a step forward and replied aloud.
The people inside seemed to react for a while before opening the door.
Seeing the person standing outside the door clearly, Zhan Yun was stunned, and said in surprise: "It turns out that it's Miss Zhou, I thought I had heard it wrong!"
Zhou Nao smiled.
I didn’t even recognize her just now.
After all, I was not familiar with it.
"Why Miss Zhou came here?" Zhan Yunjiao asked as he invited people to the courtyard.
Intuitively told her that Zhou Wei could never have come to see her joke, and there have been no festivals in the past, so this is not the case.
"Come and see you." Zhou Yan looked around in the courtyard and sighed: "You and Auntie really suffer."
While speaking, he took the money bag from the maid, and stuffed it: "I heard that my aunt is sick, this is my little heart..."
Zhan Yunjiao was a little startled.
"How can I collect girl Zhou's money..."
Seeing her talking like this, with her hands tightly holding the purse, she didn't even dare to be polite, lest she was polite, Zhou Wei knew that the other party's life must be really difficult and embarrassing.
"It's okay, you can return it to me when you are more comfortable in the future."
After Zhan Yunjiao's expression was embarrassed for a moment, she finally said, "Then thank you Miss Zhou."
Hurry up to invite people to the hall for tea.
Zhou Wei didn’t want to delay time, so he said: “I won’t drink the tea anymore. In fact, I came here today. There is indeed something else.”
Sure enough, it is all right to go to the Three Treasures Palace...
If things can’t be done, won’t the money be taken back again, right?
Zhan Yunjiao suppressed the anxiety in her heart and asked carefully: "I don't know what's the matter?"
"Ms. Xia wants to see you." Zhou Yan did not mean anything.
Xia Xi...Want to see her? !
Thinking of the past between the two families, Zhan Yunjiao subconsciously wanted to refuse, but because of the purse, she still pressed her heart and asked: "Sister Xia...Why do you want to see me all of a sudden?"
I can’t just see her also watching a joke the day before yesterday, so I can’t trouble her, right?
"I'm just a messenger, and I don't know much." Zhou Wei smiled and said: "But you can rest assured, it may not be a bad thing-if you are worried that Miss Xia is doing the old affairs of the two families and wants to embarrass you , That's even more unnecessary. Just think about it, if she really wants to do something, why bother to ask you to meet in Xia Mansion?"
"Go to Xia Mansion?" Zhan Yunjiao was even more surprised.
"Yes, but you have to go there quietly." Zhou Wei said: "I will accompany you to go with you. Just feel relieved."
"But..." Zhan Yunjiao still had no bottom in her heart, and her eyes hesitated repeatedly.
"Jiaojiao, don't think I can speak directly..." Zhou Wei sighed slightly: "If you are in the current situation at home, if no one helps you, I am afraid that you will not be able to last long. This time to Xia Mansion, it may be an opportunity. Woolen cloth."
Chance……
Zhanyun held the purse in his hand tightly, feeling surging in his heart.
In these days, she has endured too many difficult situations that she didn't even dare to think about. The eldest sister who had already married off was too close to helping her and her mother.
While her mother was either crying or coughing, she had difficulty eating at home, and she had to use silver to burn incense and worship Buddha every day. She was able to kill her popularity alive...
Now she can't count on anyone, she can only rely on herself...
Go and go...she really doesn't believe what Xia Xi really dares to do to her in Xia Mansion!
