C98 (1/2)
Zhang Zhou and Yun Feng were both used to jokes, and were not the least bit dissatisfied with being rebuked. They gritted their teeth and retaliated, ”Oh? Your temper has risen? He dared to speak to me like that after being a curator for just a few days? Do you believe that I won't withdraw the research fees from your infirmary? ”
Yun Feng's eyes widened.
”You dare? That's two different things. Besides, this is something that Madam Jade agreed to. It doesn't matter if you say so! ”
However, it was clear that he wasn't as confident!
Guan Yuniang said in a gentle voice, but it was a bit of a scolding, ”Little boat, don't be rude to this Taoist! This Taoist has suffered a lot these past few days! ”
He turned to Yun Feng and said, ”Dao leader, don't make things difficult for Little Boat! Otherwise, Yu'er and I would be unhappy! ”
”Uh, okay, okay. Hehe, this humble Taoist definitely listens to the words of Madam Jade. You can call me whenever you want, no problem!” For your sake, I won't make things difficult for him. ”
He then added worriedly, ”Madam Jade, you have to be more careful when it comes to big matters. Don't listen to this brat's words!”
Finished, she glanced at Zhang Zhou, ”What can you do to me!” The look in his eyes.
Then, as if there was no one else present, the old scholar and He Wu subconsciously took a step back to give way. Yun Feng reached out to grab Tang Jiu's wrist and lightly tapped on his wrist. Tang Jiu instantly felt a wave of warmth flow into his body, greatly alleviating his injuries! Tang Jiu was about to thank her when Yun Feng retracted his hand. He didn't even look at him as he walked back to Guan Yuniang's side and politely said, ”This humble one likes to talk nonsense with your husband. Don't take it seriously. Besides, you are pregnant, so you can't be in a hurry, do you understand?”
Guan Yuniang's face blushed as she nodded in agreement! Zhang Zhou jumped over and grabbed the old Daoist by the arm. He asked with a look of disbelief, ”What did you say?”
”What do you think the old Daoist is doing here?” Isn't it because your wife is happy! ”
Zhang Zhou's eyes widened. He didn't care if there were others around. He turned around and jumped in front of Guan Yu-niang with both hands holding her arms. He was so excited that he didn't know what to say. His eyes were misty with tears! Ignoring her shyness, he pulled her into his arms and sobbed, ”Wife, you've worked hard!”
Seeing Zhang Zhou being so rash and careless, Yun Feng, who had been unable to intervene, reminded him, ”You brat, pay attention. Don't be careless!”
Seeing the happy and sincere expressions of the family, Tang Si Niang could not help but have a strange feeling in her heart! He was shocked to find that it was actually a trace of jealousy!
Right now, even though Zhang Zhou was crying and laughing in a very sorry state, Tang Si Niang and the others didn't dare to take him lightly. When cards that even the old scholar was uneasy about appeared, how could they be qualified to laugh at them!
Guan Yu-niang stopped Zhang Zhou from showing her appreciation to the whole world. She shyly bowed to the others and said that she would like to go back to her room to change. Zhang Zhou wanted to follow her, but Guan Yu-niang ordered him to stay behind to entertain the guests. He rubbed his hands together and paced around for a while, then said with a face full of joy, ”You guys are my guests. I'll do something tonight. Let's have a cup of wine together!”
There was no need for Tang Si Niang and co. to agree, they turned to Daoist Yun Feng and said: ”Old Daoist, madam does not want to make it public, let's keep a low profile. Tonight, everyone in the mansion has been called, it's a huge commotion!”
Yun Feng nodded his head and said, ”How about we eat hotpot?”
”Sure! I must drink to my heart's content tonight! ”
He turned around and said to You Nan and Yang Xiaoluo who were also filled with excitement, ”Call my uncle, aunt and your wife over! Xiao Lang, go call the entire Lin family and Xiao Liu over! ”Oh, and Old Ding's family members too!”
He then shouted out to the courtyard outside, ”Leaves, Leaves!”
Not long after that, a young girl in her teens ran in and scolded him, ”Master, can you lower your voice a little? If the young mistress is startled by your shouting, I'll scare the great matriarch. There's something you can see!”
Zhang Zhou nodded his head apologetically: ”Alright, alright, master understands. Send someone to the Manor quickly and bring back Little Mistress and Guan Xiaolou! Wang Tieshou, Dong Da, and Yang Jiu also called out! The lord is treating tonight! Also, call your little bookshelf over as well! ”
Leaves blushed and said, ”Ignore the old master!” Then he ran out like a sparrow!
Zhang Zhou thought for a moment before saying, ”Erniu, go and get Chen Huaijin and Li Shuting!” Erniu also ran out! Just as Zhang Zhou was thinking about who else to call, a hearty laugh came from outside.
”Master Hou, you're back. Why didn't you tell this parent to me?” He Prefecture's political governor, Tang Wenxuan, followed by Zhou Ru.
When they entered the city, Zhang Zhou was covering his face with his hands, whereas Yang Xiaoluo and Erniu were not. Someone had long noticed and reported to the two sirs that the god of Hezhou, Zhang Zhou, had returned. Tang Wenxuan's gratitude to Zhang Zhou was boundless. The Ministry of Public Affairs had already sent a letter, because of his outstanding political achievements, especially his praises and recommendations. He would soon become an official in the capital, so how could he not be grateful? He was determined to get old age here. Upon hearing that Zhang Zhou had returned, the two of them immediately rushed over. They met halfway and entered the residence together!
After the old scholar learned of the two's identities, he observed their every move and action. He was very certain of this! It could be said that Zhang Zhou was the uncrowned king of Hezhou! This level of capital was enough to allow them to reposition themselves and interact with Zhang Zhou! However, now there was a worry that Zhang Zhuo would give him face!
When Tang Yu'er flew into Zhang Zhou's embrace like a little Yan'er, her eyes were red and her voice was filled with grievance: ”Hubby! I missed you! ”
If there weren't so many people present, their legs would probably have been coiled around Zhang Zhou's waist, and Zhang Zhou wouldn't have known it either. He hugged Tang Yu'er and said.
”Darling, don't drink too much tonight. Tonight, your husband will use actual actions to tell Darling how much I miss you!”
This bottomless operation directly shamed Tang Yu'er away. This shocked the entire room into complete silence! Tang Si Niang, who felt that she was bold and experienced, felt her delicate face was burning as she stared at her toes with all her might! In his heart, he scolded, ”This Zhang Zhou is really a bad person to the bone!”
That night, the heads of the businesses in the Nine Prefectures had been drunk for who knows how many times! Initially, the old scholar and the others did not drink at all. Drinking in such an unfamiliar environment was definitely a taboo for assassins!
However, when Ding Qi placed the jug of wine in front of the old scholar, the old scholar, without the slightest hesitation, took the initiative to fill a cup for Ding Qi, poured himself a cup, and then drank it all down in one gulp. Then, without saying a word, one cup of toast, one cup of wine, and only after drinking three jugs did Ding Qi pick up the fourth jug and voluntarily pour a cup for the old scholar.
”Let go of everything today and drink! And how does it feel to be drunk, to have a taste of the real Hezhou? ”
The aroma of the wine had long caused their resistance to become unbearable. Since the teacher had said this, they no longer held back and directly opened a jar. It wasn't that they didn't want to drink to their heart's content, but they only had one jar by their side.
Just then, Zhang Zhou leisurely walked over with two jars of He Zhou Lie, smiling as he pushed the jar of wine into their arms. The most genuine and truest He Zhou Lie will be punished ten times! ”
