overbearing

When we met on the first day of junior high school, Zhou Jirong felt that his uncle was very nice.

He didn't have any elders since he was a child. Although his elder brother raised him as a son, the difference in age between the two is only ten years, which is a big difference from the real parents. Zhou Jirong has such a twisted and stubborn dog temper. He also disapproves of other people who can be called his uncles and elders, and always refuses to give others a chance to get too close.Speaking of it, this is really the first time to feel the care from the elders in detail.

Shen Ze felt sorry for his nephew from the bottom of his heart. When eating, he didn't care about the rules of eating, sleeping, and talking. From whether the food suits his taste to the basic necessities of life these days, he asked about every detail, as if he wished he could Make up for the blankness that I haven't met in the past few years.In particular, his temperament is gentle and elegant, and his words are sincere and decent, which makes people not feel irritable.Although such chattering greetings are a bit long-winded, they also appear to be meticulous.It was rare for Zhou Jirong to hold back his temper and not feel impatient, and he didn't even think about asking for his money for a while.

Shen Ze brought this up first.After the meal, he invited Zhou Jirong to the study room, dismissed the servants, and told Zhou Jirong who he had contacted with when he came to Jiangling and what gifts he had received.He was just telling the facts without any bias in his words, but at the end he hesitated for a while and looked at Zhou Jirong: "...Since he is doing things for you, and doing things in your name, isn't it a bit strange?" OK..."

Shen Ze's words were too gentle, Zhou Jirong thought for a long time before he figured out that he was telling himself that Shi Mochen was using his power to run amok.Immediately a little bit embarrassing, thinking that this is really what Lao Tzu told him to do, but he couldn't speak so bluntly in front of his uncle, and immediately said lightly: "Oh, old... I know, I will talk about him later. .”

Shen Ze has been upright and rigorous all his life, and has a pure and undisputed temperament, but he is not an ordinary ignorant person. Hearing him speak like this, he has a rough idea in his heart, and he no longer talks about this matter. I gave it to Zhou Jirong, and sighed softly: "... Uncle doesn't quite understand your thoughts. Since you say that, Uncle doesn't care about you. Those things are in the warehouse and will be delivered to you tomorrow."

Zhou Jirong took the notebook over and said with a light smile, "Shi Weichen has always taken care of my things, and my uncle doesn't have to return them to me. I'll let him pick them up." He knew that Shen Ze had misunderstood Shi Weichen, so he borrowed this This arrangement can be regarded as showing that Shi Weichen is his confidant.

Sure enough, when he said that, Shen Ze immediately understood, nodded and said nothing more.

Zhou Jirong flipped through the booklet casually, but saw that it was densely packed with words.On the way here, he had heard Shi Weichen give a general idea, and he thought it was as small as a hundred or ten taels to write down one by one, but he couldn't write so much.

He was curious, and when he looked carefully, he saw that the booklet recorded when and from whom the money was received, as well as a rough identification and valuation. In addition, the identity, background, family and connections of the gift giver were even inferred in detail. The intention is also clearly written.Rather than saying it is an account book, it is better to say that this booklet has clearly analyzed the general situation of Jiangling's connections.

Zhou Jirong understood the value of this after just a few glances.According to what Shi Weichen said, it only took Shen Ze more than ten days to take over the property he looted this time from him and keep it for safekeeping. It would take a lot of effort to sort out the relationship in such a short period of time.Zhou Jirong was grateful, leaned over and grabbed his sleeve and called him uncle, not knowing what to say for a while.

When he was flipping through the booklet, Shen Ze was in a daze. In a blink of an eye, Zhou Jirong opened his eyes and tried to look at him with a grateful expression. He couldn't help laughing, and said softly: "...Uncle can do it for you." I don’t have many things to do, it’s always good to think that everything is safe, and I don’t know if it’s useful to you..."

"It's useful and useful!" Zhou Jirong nodded quickly, he was not unfamiliar with this uncle when he met him for the first time, and at this moment he dragged the stool closer to Shen Ze, and felt that this was not enough, so he said shyly: "Uncle , you treat me better than my own father!"

Shen Ze couldn't help laughing, and finally couldn't help reaching out and touching the top of his head, saying: "Don't talk nonsense, this is disrespectful to your father."

At his age, Zhou Jirong could only be touched by his brother on the dog's head, he was slightly taken aback, thinking about it, he thought it was nothing, so he let his uncle go, and said: "I'm not talking nonsense, I was bullied when I was young, My brother didn't even help me, I wanted to be a child of my uncle's family at that time, but unfortunately my brother refused to send me to find you..."

Shen Ze had heard of Zhou Jirong's reputation outside, but in the end his heart was always towards Zhou Jirong, this time seeing Zhou Jirong pretending to be a dog and being cute and smart, he just thought he was the best, Of course, he didn't take those rumors seriously. After hearing what he said, although he knew it was a thing of the past, he still became worried and hurriedly asked him what was going on.

Zhou Jirong didn't want his uncle to worry any more, so he picked up some trivial matters and said them lightly, which sounded like children's quarrels, but he took the opportunity to accuse his brother of many mistakes and complained a lot.He was articulate and witty, and he somewhat coaxed Shen Ze to be happy, but he told all the little things in a very interesting way.

Shen Ze couldn't help laughing, and heard him complain about his brother's methods of forcing him to marry, Shen Ze said: "...You are not too young at your age, it's not surprising that he cares about your marriage in freshman year." , your brother's actions are inappropriate, but his intentions are always good. Why do you have to treat girls as scourges, as long as you let nature take its course..."

Zhou Jirong hurriedly said: "Uncle also said to let nature take its course, so I have to have someone I like. What does it mean for him to stuff old...for me in such a mess! Uncle, write back and help me I'll scold my brother well, let him deal with his pile of beauty brand supper and snacks, I don't need him to worry about it, he meddles in his own business! Disrespectful!"

He was so excited that the "Lao Tzu" who had endured for a day almost popped out of his mouth again.

Shen Ze looked at Zhou Jirong dumbfounded, the nosy person he said was the emperor after all, he couldn't help Zhou Jirong write this letter.Seeing Zhou Jirong pouted with displeasure, he couldn't help reaching out to touch his face again, and said kindly: "...Your brother wrote you before and mentioned that you were of marriageable age, saying that Jiangling women are gentle and gentle Your mother's hometown, let me keep an eye out for you..."

"Don't! I don't need it!" Zhou Jirong yelled before his uncle finished speaking.His reaction became more intense. Seeing Shen Ze's slightly surprised expression, he hurriedly said coquettishly, "No, no, no! I'm still young! Besides, it's just an agreement, this matter has to go with the flow, when I meet Let's talk about it when we get to the person we like..."

Shen Ze didn't get to the bottom of it. Seeing that he was so nervous and worried that someone would force him to take him to the bridal chamber, he smiled and said: "Look at you, could it be that our eldest treasure already has someone he likes? What is it?" What kind of girl? As long as you have a good temper and you like it, it doesn't matter if your status is low... I don't care about your brother, I just hope to see you marry a gentle and considerate wife, and have a few white and fat children If you don't dislike your troublesome uncle, uncle wants to take care of your child for a few more years..."

Naturally, Zhou Jirong would not be easily deceived by him and handed over his details. Hearing the words, he said calmly, "Of course I don't have any girls I like..." He thought in his heart that Xiaobai was good-looking, thoughtful and capable, but he had never been born with a different talent. After giving birth to a child, it is really embarrassing for my uncle and his elders to want to hug their grandson.

He thought about all kinds of messy thoughts in his heart, and said, "Uncle, what's so difficult about holding a grandson? My brother gave me many little nephews and nieces. I can add a few more when I think about it next year. Then I will give you a hug." One came here to raise and play? Besides, don’t I have two brothers surnamed Yan, you expect them to come sooner than me! Why do I... the Huns are not broken, how can I start a family!"

Why couldn't Shen Ze realize that he was prevaricating, so he shook his head helplessly and said, "Yan Huan also said the same thing, each of you... even made the same excuses."

"Brother Yan Huan also said the same thing? Sure enough, the hero sees the same thing! No wonder I felt like a good match when I saw him..." Zhou Jirong pretended not to hear the complaint in Shen Ze's words, and looked up. Glancing at Shen Ze, he tentatively said: "...By the way, uncle, I met Brother Yan Huan and Brother Yan Su when I went to Yantong this time, and I happened to meet Brother Yan Su again on the way to Jiangling two days ago. It will arrive in a few days, and he brought a friend with him, and he will come back to visit you together in a few days..."

When Shen Ze heard him mention Yan Su, he was slightly taken aback, and when he heard that he was coming back, he also seemed quite happy, but there was some worry in that joy, but he didn't ask Zhou Jirong who came with Yan Su.

Zhou Jirong had a ulterior motive in mind, he had been carefully checking his appearance, seeing Shen Ze's expression was a little strange, he carefully probed and said: "...I heard that Brother Yan Su has many friends, did he often bring people back in the past? "

Shen Ze was a little lost in thought, and shook his head after a long while, but he didn't answer Zhou Jirong's question. He got up and said softly: "It's getting late, you're exhausted from the journey, so you should rest early. Songtao Courtyard and Zhuyuxuan are packed. Where do you want to live?"

Zhou Jirong felt something in his heart, and said with a smile on his face: "Then I will live in Zhuyuxuan, this season is just springing bamboo shoots, I can dig them and roast them in the middle of the night for supper!"

Hearing what he said, Shen Ze was stunned, but smiled and said nothing. After thinking about it, he was still uneasy, and confessed: "Your first cousin's friends also have some messy people who are not serious. You Keep some sense, don't follow... if you learn badly..."

Zhou Jirong pretended to be bewildered and nodded in agreement, his uncle gave him a few more instructions before he was relieved, and asked someone to take him to the Zhuyuxuan.

Zhou Jirong just said that he wanted to dig bamboo shoots just to distract his uncle's attention, but he had no intention of actually digging bamboo shoots.Seeing that his uncle didn't forget to remind him not to learn badly - thinking about Yan Su's messing around outside in the past, it's not that the slightest rumors didn't reach Shen Ze's ears.In this way, it can save some troubles when Yan Su goes home for a showdown, but it's not easy for him to go to his uncle's place to test it out.

Zhou Jirong wasn't too worried about Yan Su who was about to seek his own death, he wrote another letter to Xiaobai, and rolled to bed with peace of mind.
