The pretty boy of the landlord's house

The winter is cold, and it snows in the middle of the night. In the middle of winter, it is time to sleep well.

The lights in the study room are still bright, and the desk is full of thick ledgers. The young man looks intently at the ledgers in front of him, his slender fingers "snapping" the beads on the abacus, He will also dial back a few beads. Obviously, he is not good at counting accounts.

He has been living like this for about ten days, but he has only read two of those ledgers, and many of them don't match up.

Du Zhou rubbed the center of his brows, trying to relieve his fatigue, his eyes were already a little dizzy.

"Master, it's already three o'clock, go and rest first." Tweety reminded me gently when she came to refuel for the third time.

Without even raising his head, Du Zhou said, "No, this account must be settled."

Speaking of this, Cui'er was a little annoyed, and said: "Uncle Li is too unkind, after all, it was the accountant Mr. Zhengjun brought, and now the family is separated, but he left with their family. It is really hard to leave this bad debt. Young Master, you are gone."

Du Zhou didn't comment, and turned over another page of the account book. His slender fingers fiddled with the abacus. No matter how the account was calculated, it was wrong.

"Young master, you are also soft-hearted. Why did the second young master say that he wants to separate the family, and you give him a house? Besides, the young master of the Feng family wanted to marry you..."

Hearing this, Du Zhou slapped his hand on the abacus. He finally raised his head and looked at Tweety. His cold eyes are always gentle, but at this moment, he was vaguely impatient. His expression, that face is even more handsome, and his brows look a little tired.

Cui'er was stared at by him like this, and suddenly felt that she had slipped her tongue. Before she could speak, Du Zhou closed the account book and said, "Go to bed, and go to Zhuangzi tomorrow to ask for an accountant, whoever is in that village or something, I heard that the account will be settled, when will it come?"

"It's Yu Nineteen from Yu Family Village, and he will be there in a few days." Tweety reminded.

Du Zhou was silent for a moment, and said, "Isn't Yujia Village... Forget it, let's go and rest first."

Cui'er said hello, called the boy at the door, and said, "Xiao Hu, light the lamp for Young Master."

Xiaohu immediately lit up the lantern, Tweety held an umbrella, and they walked to the bedroom.

Xiaohu secretly glanced at his young master's house several times, and saw the red mole on his earlobe.

Who would have thought that his young boss was actually a brother?

But thinking about it now, it's normal, after all, Du Zhou is so pretty.

Du Zhou is a well-known handsome man, gentle and elegant, with a wealth of wealth. He is also the son of Zheng Jun, the rich man of Du. He lived as a normal man for the first 18 years. The threshold of the family has long been stepped down by the matchmaker.

The young master of the Feng family originally had a deep affection for Du Zhou, who was also a man. Even if he was a man, he wanted to marry him as the king. Unexpectedly, three months ago, during the autumn harvest season, the second daughter of the Du family's aunt The young master Xu Ge'er and Master Feng saw each other rightly, which caused Master Feng to come to change relatives.

After explaining a lot of truth, Du Zhou was regarded as a man in the end. Unfilialism was the most serious and he had no offspring. He married his elder brother Du Xu. Du Xu's family clamored for a separation. He called back on the grounds that he could not inherit the family business.

This Du Xu has some ideas. I don't know where to know that Du Zhou is also a brother. On the day he returned home after three dynasties after marriage, he exposed his identity in front of everyone.

'Now it's all right, the fiancé was robbed by Du Xu, and a small half of the Du family's property was also divided, and even some housekeepers and accountants were lost.

Even rich man Du wanted to take his property and move out with his aunts because of Zhengjun's arbitrariness.

Of course, most of the Du family's current wealth is the land property of Shen Bojun's natal family when she married.

Du Zhou didn't have the mind to worry about these things. He was dizzy with calculations every day. His dreams were all about the grain handed in by those farmers and how many stones they harvested every year.

Because Xiaohu looked at him several times, Du Zhou found out. He glanced at Xiaohu and asked, "Is there something wrong?"

"Young master, you will be 19 years old in two months." Xiaohu couldn't help reminding.

Du Zhou nodded thoughtfully, didn't realize what he meant, and suddenly slapped his palms with his fist, and said: "I know, the harvest was not good that year, and my father asked the farmers to waive [-]% of the rent."

"..." Xiaohu was speechless.

Du Zhou turned his head back and said, "Tweety prepare me a Tang Pozi, I will continue to go back and settle the score."

Tweety bit her head and reminded: "A new gentleman will come right away, the young master doesn't have to work so hard."

"Yes, yes, the Young Master's family will rest earlier, and a matchmaker will come to the door tomorrow." Xiaohu whispered.

Du Zhou paused and said, "What matchmaker?"

"Speak to the younger brother of the county magistrate. The fact that you are a brother has already spread all over the country. There is a regulation in Dayue State that my brother must get married in the next year, otherwise the official will appoint a husband." Xiaohu reminded in a low voice. He said, the second young master of the county grandpa's family is an asshole, young master, you can take care of yourself.

Du Zhou snorted, thinking what does this have to do with me?

He returned to the room in a trance, the earth dragon was burning hot, he washed his face, lay on the bed, and only realized it before going to sleep.

"I'm a brother." Du Zhou was raised by his father as a man since he was a child, and it has only been more than a month since he returned to his brother's status, and sometimes he would forget about it.

He was so tired that he fell asleep quickly.

Early the next morning, when Du Zhou was still in his dream, Cui Er woke him up.

Du Zhou rubbed his eyes in a daze, and said, "What's wrong?"

"The matchmaker is here, tell the Young Master to come over." Cui'er brought clean clothes.

Du Zhou let her dress and tidy him up, and his long black hair was combed properly, revealing the bright red mole on his earlobe.

When he walked to the front hall, Shen Bojun was already greeting the matchmaker. He had a calm demeanor, and was completely unmoved by the matchmaker's hype about the second young master of the county grandpa's family.

"Father." Du Zhou obediently saluted Shen Bojun.

The matchmaker's eyes lit up when she saw Du Zhou, and she exclaimed: "You are so handsome, the old lady has never seen such a handsome brother as the young master's family in this life, and he is a good match for the younger brother of the county magistrate's family. Eldest man, he is still the magistrate, he has a high family status, it is a blessing that your family has cultivated in eight lifetimes to be able to see your brother Zhou."

Shen Bojun twitched the corners of his mouth, and said with a subterranean smile, "The lady of the Lin family also knows that my Zhou brother is handsome, even the most noble man in the world can match him, it's not that my son doesn't want to marry the magistrate It’s just that I have already found a husband-in-law for Brother Zhou, if Second Young Master Li is willing to come to my house behind the door, he will naturally be chosen.”

The Lin family's mother-in-law froze when she heard that, and said, "Then when the time comes, your Du family will have a great career, so you can get in the door instead. It's just that I heard that Mr. Feng, who was married by Young Master Du, is married. Are you looking for a new husband-in-law soon?"

"It doesn't need to worry about the Zhou family. Is it possible that my family has to report to you for everything?" Shen Bojun was still deserted, very proud, and his speech was very rude.

Seeing that they couldn't get along, the Lin family's mother-in-law pinched her handkerchief, her face darkened, and said, "Since you have said so, the old lady will tell the truth. I heard that Young Master Du's birthday is in early February. If you don't get married, the county magistrate will definitely help you find a wife." Good for marriage."

"Uncle Rong, let's see off the guests." Shen Bojun called Manager Zhou to send the matchmaker away.

The mother-in-law of the Lin family said secretly: "Unlucky, no wonder rich man Du has married so many aunts, who can bear this temper?"

Manager Zhou gave the matchmaker a cold look, and said, "From the Lin family, this way please."

The lady of the Lin family said yes, and just walked out the door, she didn't pay attention to her step, she slipped and fell into the snow, standing covered in mud.

The person in charge didn't bother to help, just said: "You are too careless, you have to pay attention to safety on the road." Then he closed the door.

Seeing that the matchmaker had left, Du Zhou wanted to ask Shen Bojun to resign, saying: "Father, the son has to go to the study to settle accounts, so I won't be with you. The marriage is all up to the father."

Shen Bojun was a little speechless, he stretched out his hand to beckon to his son, and said, "Come and sit beside me."

"Okay." Du Zhou has been well-behaved and sensible since he was a child. He has completely inherited the advantages of his parents' looks.

Maybe it's because his father has a bad temper. Du Zhou will have no temper at that time, he is very easy-going and kind, and everyone around him likes him very much.

Shen Bojun sighed, and said, "Father has no arrangements for your marriage."

"Ah, then I'll call the matchmaker back." Du Zhou hurriedly said.

Shen Bojun patted his head angrily, and said, "Don't you know who the second young master of the county magistrate's family is?"

Du Zhou shook his head and said, "How can I know this?"

Before the separation, before his father moved out with j and the other children, he devoted himself to studying, because his fiancé, Mr. Feng, came from a scholarly family, so naturally he couldn't fall behind.

Shen Bojun didn't like to gossip, so he sighed again and said, "Anyway, it's not a good match. Do you have any thoughts about your future husband? My father will teach you to find someone for you."

Du Zhou scratched his head and said, "It's good to be like Mr. Feng."

"That kind of person is not good, he is heartless, ungrateful, and half-hearted. Fortunately, before you get married, you will recognize your true colors." Shen Bojun's face was indifferent, and he was very dissatisfied with his former future son-in-law.

Du Zhou thought for a moment, and said: "Then my husband and son-in-law had better be strong and able to work. At that time, we can hire one less long-term worker, and he must be able to do abacus and math for me, so that the accountant can also help me. Please."

After listening to his son's words, Shen Bojun laughed out loud and said, "Are you looking for a husband-in-law or a long-term worker?"

"Hey." Seeing his father smiling, Du Zhou laughed too.

Shen Bojun said: "The new accountant will come tomorrow, so you don't have to worry about it like that. I will help you find the marriage."

"Uncle Li..." Du Zhou thought of Uncle Li, he was the gentleman brought by his father from his mother's house.

Jun Shen Bo said: "It's fine if you don't mention it."

The snow had stopped during the day, and a thick layer had accumulated on the eaves. The sun came out and shone on the snow, shining white.

In the afternoon, I received a letter saying that Yu Nineteen, the accountant who was about to come, encountered some troubles on the way and couldn't come. He also asked someone to bring a message. If rich man Du really sincerely seeks talent, he will go to Yujia Village in person. please.

Du Zhou: ...

Bad news.
