"Let's eat, it's already cold."
After today, Teng Zijing gave up his previous idea of ​​leaving Kyoto and chose to stay to help Fan Xian.
After going through a lot together, Fan Xian also trusted Teng Zijing very much. He promised Teng Zijing a large amount of money and agreed to keep Teng Zijing. From then on, Teng Zijing became Fan Xian's bodyguard.
In order to investigate the matter of the chicken-leg girl, Fan Xian began to look for people everywhere, and then in order to break off the engagement, he went to the Royal Courtyard to find Lin Waner and complete the break-off.
The next day, Zhou Chen left the house early in the morning, headed outside the city, and came to a hidden valley.
"Master."
Sun Yi has not been at home for a long time, and Zhou Chen came out this time just to see him.
"Have everyone been found?"
"According to the young master's instructions, they are all young men under the age of twenty, with good qualifications. There are seventy-two people in total, all bought from all over the country."
Zhou Chen nodded. He asked Sun Yi to buy people to train new subordinates.
Although the thirty-six constellations of the Star Guards have reached the seventh level or above, such cultivation is nothing in Kyoto. Not to mention the Black Cavalry, it is far behind the Tiger Guard, so he let
Sun Yi found more people and prepared to form a new Seventy-Two Disha.
In this system of feudal society, human life is sometimes really worthless. You can buy human life for a little money, and naturally you can also buy capable subordinates.
"You're doing well. Follow the training methods I gave you and train well. You must achieve something within three years."
"This subordinate will never betray the trust of the young master."
"Take me to see people first."
Although his cultivation as a great master can be said to be invincible in the world, he is only one person after all, and he has no time to do everything himself. He must cultivate subordinates who are strong enough and trustworthy enough, not only for himself, but also for those around him.
people.
He wanted to protect the people in the Zhou family, his own women, etc., and also to be wary of Emperor Qing and other old silver coins.
…………
Today, an uninvited guest suddenly came to the Zhou Mansion, and it happened that Zhou Chen was not in the manor.
This uninvited guest is Zhou Xingniang, who came to Zhou's house to fight against the autumn wind a few years ago, but was later driven away by Zhou Chen. She is also Zhou Chen's nominal aunt.
As Zhou Chen's biological aunt, Zhou Chen can ignore her or ask people to drive her away. But without Zhou Chen, even Tong Quan, the current housekeeper in the mansion, does not dare to be disrespectful in the face of this person and can only
She forced her way into the house.
After Zhou Xingniang arrived at the Zhou Mansion, she sat arrogantly in the hall and asked Tong Quan to call Zhou Chen. Tong Quan said that Zhou Chen was not in the house, and she scolded her severely.
Tong Quan knew what was going on with this person, so she didn't bother with her and let her keep an eye on her. Then she came to Zhou Chen's yard and asked to see Sang Wen.
When Sang Wen learned about this, he was quite surprised and prepared to go see this person, but was stopped by Tong Quan.
"Girl, you have a distinguished status, so it's better not to go. That old lady is not easy to get along with."
"Then let her keep making trouble in the house?"
If possible, Sang Wen would naturally not want to meet her. After all, although she was favored by Zhou Chen, she was not even Zhou Chen's concubine and had no status to meet Zhou Chen's biological aunt.
But the problem is, this aunt is making a lot of noise in the house, and she can't ignore it.
Tong Quan said: "Girl, don't worry, I have sent someone to find the young master. We will solve it when the young master comes back."
His idea was good, but Zhou Xingniang didn't follow common sense. Not only did she make a big fuss in the house, but she also broke into Zhou Chen's yard regardless of others' obstruction.
Especially after seeing Sang Wen and learning about Sang Wen's identity, he ridiculed her sarcastically. As Zhou Chen's aunt, he insulted Sang Wen contemptuously, called her a brothel girl, and climbed into the Duke's palace, etc.
The scolding was very unpleasant, and Tong Quan tried to persuade her several times, but not only was it useless, she was slapped twice by Zhou Xingniang...
After Zhou Chen received the notice from his servant, he rushed back to the city. Zhou Xingniang appeared again. This was indeed beyond his expectation, because he had forgotten about this person a long time ago. He did not expect that after a few years, she would come back again.
It's disgusting.
Returning to the mansion, Zhou Chen saw Zhou Xingniang showing off her power in the mansion, Sang Wen who was being scolded with his head lowered, and Tong Quan who had a swollen face.
As soon as Zhou Xingniang saw Zhou Chen, all her domineering aura disappeared and she faced Zhou Chen with a smile.
"Oh, Ah Chen is back. He must be tired after going out. You idiots, why don't you hurry up and get some water to clean Ah Chen? You are a piece of trash that you can't even see."
Zhou Chen looked coldly at Zhou Xingniang who came up to her, walked up to sit down without saying a word, and waved to Sang Wen.
"Are you wronged?"
Sang Wen shook his head: "No, Mrs. Gu has good intentions."
"She is kind-hearted?"
Zhou Chen sneered, he had learned who Zhou Xingniang was a few years ago, she was absolutely shameless, and even a shrew was more shameless than her.
Seeing the redness and swelling on both sides of Tong Quan's cheeks, he said coldly: "Auntie, are you coming to my house to show off your power?"
Zhou Xingniang, who was so majestic just now, laughed a few times and said to please: "Ah Chen, you are a book boy who has no rules at all. I will help you discipline you."
"Auntie's control is really broad enough. She even controls my house? But this is the last time. If there is a next time, don't blame me for not caring about the old man's face."
Zhou Xingniang's aura of calmness and self-importance made her breathless. She was shocked to find that her little nephew had become even scarier after not seeing him for several years.
But thinking about the purpose of her coming here, she showed a 'bright' smile again.
"Achen, look at what you said, I am your aunt, we are a family, I definitely want to do your best and have no other intentions."
"Come on, A Yuan, come here quickly."
Zhou Xingniang pulled a young man and came to Zhou Chen.
"Achen, this is your younger brother, Ayuan. He is two years younger than you. Ayuan, he is not called yet."
The young man named A Yuan hurriedly saluted Zhou Chen: "I've met my cousin."
Zhou Chen nodded coldly. He had a very bad impression of Zhou Xingniang, so he didn't have a good attitude towards her son.
Zhou Xingniang continued: "Achen, your uncle has just been transferred to Kyoto, and now he is serving as the censor in the Metropolitan Procuratorate. He just went to report on his work today, so I brought Ayuan to see you. You are a dignified person now."
Lord Zhenguo is the backbone of our Zhou family, and my brother will be very pleased if you know this."
As he spoke, he lowered his head and wiped away two non-existent tears, which made Zhou Chen feel sick to his stomach.
But her words made Zhou Chen suspicious. He still had some impression of Zhou Xingniang's husband. His level was very average. He had been an official in other places for many years and had not been promoted much. How could he suddenly be transferred back to Kyoto?
Being appointed as the imperial censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate was a promotion to several levels at once.
Very abnormal.
