"I'm not afraid to tell you, in fact, this was originally the meaning of Her Royal Highness the Queen."

Yan Shigu said softly: "I was not dissatisfied at first, but later I thought you were pretty good, and after thinking about it, you are a good match, so I intend to fulfill you."

He continued: "To be honest, I didn't think highly of you and Princess Changle at all before. I believe no one thought highly of you. It was indeed an accident that you married Changle."

"The empress signaled you to marry my granddaughter to me?" Zhou Jinyan still had these words in his mind.

"Yes," Yan Shigu said proudly: "My granddaughter is also one of the four beauties in Chang'an, more than enough for you..."

"Old man, I have to correct you about one thing." Zhou Jinyan stared at him seriously.

"What's the matter?" Yan Shigu didn't care about his address at all.

"If you want to have a good relationship with your granddaughter, no matter what, you shouldn't get involved in your granddaughter's marriage and let her decide by herself. Otherwise, the relationship between your granddaughter and you should be prepared to be like this forever."

"The order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker, I am her..."

"It doesn't matter if you are her grandfather," Zhou Jinyan said seriously, "Sister Yan is an extremely independent woman. She can marry whoever she likes. Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. You are also old. Why bother because These broken rules, have you been angry with your granddaughter?"

Yan Shigu showed a thoughtful expression.

After a long time, he said, "I actually understand what you're saying. But I'm his grandfather after all. Wouldn't it be too unfamiliar if I didn't participate? And... don't talk, just listen and finish. "

Interrupting Zhou Jinyan, Yan Shigu continued: "My granddaughter is a talented woman in the poetry club, and her background is so good. There are many people chasing him. I heard that she is getting close to a poor scholar recently. I am afraid that she will misunderstand her. You've gone astray. This family background doesn't match, the levels are different, how can we be together?"

The relationship between the rich lady and the poor scholar.

Zhou Jinyan suddenly remembered that in the Song Dynasty, those champions were all taken over by the daughters of high officials.

Almost the top pick is popular, before the list is released, it is agreed with the high official that if he wins the top spot, he will marry his daughter.

It doesn't matter whether you are a poor scholar or not.

As the most open dynasty, the Tang Dynasty did not have the Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism of the Song Dynasty. Could it be that it is not as good as the Song Dynasty in terms of ideology?

"So I thought, compared to that poor scholar, I still like you. Although you are a little younger, you are smart, good-hearted, and capable. My granddaughter will not suffer from following you."

He sighed, "How did you know that you could really marry the princess back home. It's something I dare not even think about."

The corners of Zhou Jinyan's mouth twitched slightly. The old man really wanted to be his father-in-law.

"Actually, it's not impossible." Zhou Jinyan pretended to be apologetic: "It's just that there must be a first come, first served, the position of the princess as the wife..."

"Bastard!"

Master Yan's old-fashioned beard trembled, "You really dare to think, what is the identity of my granddaughter? Both of you can't touch my granddaughter's tail, and you are still a concubine. Get out of here."

Zhou Jinyan was chased by him and ran around.

"Old man, Mr. Yan, Mr. Yan, I was wrong. I just said it casually. Don't take it seriously. I still say the same thing. Sister Yan wants to marry a poor scholar, so marry him. I'm sure I won't blame you. Is there anything you can't let go of?"

Yan Shigu pinched his waist out of breath, "Your kid finally said something human, it's just..."

Zhou Jinyan was very tired, he leaned against the wall and gasped for breath, "Don't just stop, you are very old, how long will you have a good life? According to your granddaughter's wishes, with your granddaughter's knowledge, maybe that scholar has an unrivaled talent In the future, if you stand out in the imperial examinations, it will not be difficult for you to be appointed as a marquis and worship a minister. The husband you cultivated by yourself is so good."

Yan Shigu said with a complex expression: "You are too idealistic, conferring a title to a prince? It is almost impossible. Not to mention these things, Ruyu will not live well in the future, what should I do? When I grow old, I will I will die with peace."

Pity the world's parents, Zhou Jinyan sympathizes with him, but if things go on like this, the relationship between the granddaughter and granddaughter will be like this for the rest of their lives.

"Happiness is your own business. You wanted her to be happy last time. Who did you marry her to? What happened?"

Zhou Jinyan said a lot of reasoning patiently, didn't eat breakfast, and was chased by him for a while, his stomach growling.

He waved his hand and said, "That's all for now, think about it for yourself, I'm leaving."

Zhou Jin said that he was hungry, Yan Shigu argued with him for a long time, but no one called the old man to eat, who knows when the meal will be ready.

He was going to buy some breakfast in the shop.

"Young Lord."

A servant girl hurried over, gave a blessing, and said softly: "My lady said you still have something to take away."

"Bird?" Zhou Jinyan slapped his head, "Bring the bird quickly."

The servant girl covered her lips and smiled lightly, "The lady said you can get it yourself. She has to tell you about some things, lest you feed the bird to death."

Zhou Jinyan smiled awkwardly, and walked in with the maid.

Yan Shigu stood there with his head down, with an expression of a pensive person.

Zhou Jinyan originally wanted to say a few more words, but seeing his expression, he had no choice but to give up.

When they arrived at the backyard, they saw that Yan Ruyu had gotten up and was squatting on the ground, teasing the caged bird.

"You came."

Yan Ruyu stood up, smiled lightly and said, "You haven't taken the bird away yet."

Zhou Jinyan nodded, picked up the three cages, and said casually, "What do birds eat?"

"Ordinary food is fine," Yan Ruyu pointed to the small plate in the cage, "Put it in, replace it regularly, keep it hygienic, and their survival should be no problem."

Zhou Jinyan thought to himself that I have that parrot at home, even if I don’t feed it with any food, I’m afraid it won’t starve to death.

"I'm leaving."

Yan Ruyu smiled gently, "I'll see you off."

The two left the yard, but Yan Shigu was already gone.

Yan Ruyu said softly: "Forget that you haven't eaten yet, why don't you come back after breakfast here?"

"Forget it, I'll go to Du's mansion and treat Cai Guogong first, and I'll just eat at his house."

After staying in the Yan Mansion for so long, Zhou Jinyan thought about going back a long time ago.

After leaving Yan's mansion, Zhou Jinyan didn't go to Anyifang to find Sun Simiao, but went directly to Cai Guogong's mansion.

Sure enough, as expected, I am used to the excellent and high-quality types, and the ordinary ones have almost no effect on Du Ruhui's condition.

"Du Gong, your illness is almost cured. I will visit you less frequently in the future, but I will give you follow-up visits from time to time."

Zhou Jinyan made a few nonsense, got up and said with a smile.

Chapter 116 You are welcome

"Let's eat here at noon."

Du Ruhui sat up from the bed, and said with emotion: "I can feel the difference from before. Thanks to you, otherwise my rotten body would have fallen into the loess at this time."

"Dugong is a blessed man, and he will surely be blessed by the heavens. You must never say such unlucky words."

"Hehe, what is God's blessing?" Du Ruhui didn't listen to him, "I just met you last time, otherwise I would know about my own affairs."

Du Ruhui was already no different from normal people, the two got up and went to the living room outside, he said: "I heard that the matter between you and Princess Changle is over?"

Zhou Jinyan said: "It's done. But this matter is Changsun Chong's own death and sent someone to assassinate me. Perhaps His Majesty felt guilty, so he married Changle to me."

Du Yanran ran in from the outside and said softly, "Brother Zhou, are you really going to get married?"

"In three months' time," Zhou Jinyan said, "you will come and have a wedding at that time."

"Okay." Du Yanran smiled coquettishly: "I will go with my father then."

Du Ruhui pinched his beard and said, "I thought it was a joke, but I didn't expect it to be true. Then congratulations to Prince Zhou."

Zhou Jinyan felt refreshed, "Thank you Jiyan, Du Gong's illness will definitely recover in a short time."

"What are you talking about?"

Du He came in from the outside, nodded to Zhou Jinyan, and asked casually.

Du Yanran said: "Let's talk about the marriage between Big Brother Zhou and Princess Changle."

Du He's complexion was a bit strange, "Your Majesty accepted Brother Zhou's marriage with the princess?"

"Yes, what happened in the last two days, we will get married in three months." Zhou Jinyan said with a smile: "Brother Du, don't be absent at that time."

"Definitely come."

Du He smiled a bit reluctantly, but Zhou Jinyan didn't take it to heart.

Zhou Jinyan had eaten in Du's mansion, and hurried back home with the birdcage in hand. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Sheng Lian'er coming up to him.

"Lang Jun, people from my hometown are here, how can I arrange it?"

Zhou Jin said, "Did Uncle Fu make any arrangements?"

Sheng Lian'er's face was a bit ugly: "There is an old man with a bad temper who doesn't listen to the arrangement and says a lot of unreasonable things..."

Zhou Jinyan's expression darkened immediately, "Where are they now?"

"They're all sitting in the yard," Sheng Lian'er said softly, "Let's pack up a place for them to rest and say that we can arrange what they need to do after A Lang comes back."

Zhou Jinyan felt a nameless anger rushing straight into his mind. Ever since his father had told him about the Zhou family, he knew that these people might not be good people, so he didn't expect to put on airs on the first day.

At this time, in a large living room, more than a dozen people, both men and women, were sitting leisurely and comfortably under the leadership of an old man.

The old man was over 50 years old, his beard and hair were all white, and his face seemed to be much older than Fubo.

His original surname was Liu, but later he changed his surname to Zhou, and his name was Zhou Po. He was the deputy housekeeper of the Zhou family in Runan, with some real power.

Picking up a cup of tea, he waved his gestures and said with a smile: "Shao Fan is a great general after all, how did he make the house so deserted?"

Uncle Fu sat on one side, and said expressionlessly when he heard the words: "Ah Lang and Mr. Lang didn't stay in the house very much before, and there is no need to support so many idlers in the house."

"Idlers?"

Zhou Po frowned and said, "How can you be called an idler? Even if there is no one in the house, you should raise some. This is called momentum and background, otherwise when others enter the door and see such a scene, they may not even have the most basic respect. "

Forbe ignored him.

Zhou Po didn't take it seriously, and then said: "What's the matter with those little girls running around in the mansion? They are so young, they must not be thoughtful in doing things, and they are noisy. This kind of people should not be raised in the mansion. See which one needs it, and sell it directly.”

Uncle Fu twitched his lips and said, "That's Mr. Lang's business, I'm afraid you're not qualified."

Zhou Po's face darkened, "Why am I not qualified? After all, I'm still his uncle. Our Zhou family is an aristocratic family, a noble family, a group of little kids running around all day, doing nothing, What does it look like?"

"Besides, if this matter gets out, I don't know what kind of bad influence it will have. Mr. Lang is still young, you old people should guide him occasionally, so as not to let him go astray."

Uncle Fu was angry, and was about to speak when he heard the human voice: "Who wants to guide me?"

I saw a handsome young man with a face like a crown jade, walking in swaggeringly, with a casual smirk on his face.

Zhou Po frowned, "Are you Shao Fan's son? Da Lang or Er Lang?"

Zhou Jinyan smiled strangely and said, "Excuse me, are you always?"

"The housekeeper of the Zhou residence, Zhou Po."

Zhou Jinyan scratched his head on purpose, "Zhou Po? I remember my uncles, but none named Zhou Po."

Turning his head, he asked, "Fu Bo, who is Zhou Po this time?"

Uncle Fu explained: "His original surname was Liu, but after he was promoted to housekeeper, he changed his surname to Zhou. In terms of blood relationship, it really has nothing to do with Mr. Lang."

Zhou Po snorted.

Zhou Jinyan walked up to Zhou Po and looked down at him, "Are you the housekeeper of the Zhou residence?"

Zhou Po proudly said: "Although it's not true, it's also vice-like. Our Zhou family in Runan has a total of..."

Zhou Jinyan interrupted him, "Do you know what you are here for?"

"The owner said that we need help here, so let us come here."

"Since you are here to help, you carefree people, are you here to serve others, or to be served?"

When Zhou Jinyan said this, everyone stood up in fright except Zhou Po.

Zhou Po glanced at him lightly, "Where is Shao Fan?"

"Shao Fan?" Zhou Jinyan was stunned for a moment, then sneered, "You can call my father's name whatever you want?"

Zhou Po said angrily: "What do you mean, kid? We are kind enough to help you. Is this your attitude?"

"Not satisfied?"

Zhou Jinyan said coldly: "From today onwards, all the tasks of the Zhou family will be done by you."
