From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

"Hello, big brother! My name is Guan Dayong! I'm nineteen years old this year!"

"My father told me to follow big brother and learn skills!"

Looking at the fierce man in front of him who was two meters tall and weighed more than 200 kilograms, Zhou Yuan was stunned.

Is he eight years old? No, he is nineteen years old?

Is this a human? This is simply an iron tower!

Guan Tianci said that his son is good at fighting, which seems to be a bit low-key. In this era when most people don't have enough food and are skinny, this figure is shocking enough just standing there.

Zhou Yuan said: "Dayong! Didn't your father tell you that if you follow me, you must listen to me!"

"Of course!"

Guan Dayong shouted in a heavy and reckless voice: "I promise to listen to you, big brother!"

Zhou Yuan looked back and waved his hand: "Go and move my luggage to the carriage behind, you just look after the luggage."

"If you encounter danger, protect me first, do you hear me?"

Guan Dayong nodded and said: "I'm fine, but I'm so hungry."

It was just dawn in the morning, and Brother Dayong hadn't eaten breakfast yet.

Zhou Yuan pointed to the table next to him and said: "You eat first."

"Okay!"

Dayong went to eat.

Zhou Yuan returned to the courtyard and told Zhao Jianjia not to pack up anymore, as they had brought enough.

When the two returned to the dining room, Zhao Cheng and Chen Shi also got up.

The group had some breakfast and were ready to leave.

"Brother, is there anything else? I'm not full!"

Dayong's voice was so loud that it stunned Zhou Yuan.

What's going on? That's my whole family's breakfast! Don't tell me you've eaten it all!

Zhou Yuan hurried over to take a look, only to see that the table was empty, with more than a dozen buns and four bowls of porridge all gone.

Zhao Jianjia was obviously stunned, and then said helplessly: "You can buy it on the way, it seems that he still hasn't had enough."

Zhou Yuan took a deep breath and said: "I think I know where the Xue family's money went. This appetite is really fierce."

"Move the things onto the carriage and get ready to go!"

Zhou Yuan gave an order, and Brother Dayong immediately went to work.

The summer morning was refreshing and dry, and the fish belly white in the east was covered by the sun that had not yet risen.

The morning glow filled the sky, and today was a sunny day.

"Yuan'er, what is the way to be an official!"

Zhao Cheng looked at the purple air coming from the east and chuckled: "In the final analysis, you should be worthy of the heavens, the earth, the emperor, the people, and your heart."

"Based on this principle, find your own comfortable way of doing things, the way of doing things, smooth and upright, and do whatever you want."

"Father believes that you can handle these."

He patted Zhou Yuan's shoulder, took Chen away, and left time to Zhao Jianjia.

And Zhao Jianjia was obviously reluctant to leave. She kept asking what else she hadn't brought, and helped Zhou Yuan to tidy up his clothes and hair.

Finally, Zhou Yuan held her hand and whispered: "We are leaving, don't be busy with these."

Zhao Jianjia opened her mouth, wanted to say something, but lowered her head again.

Zhou Yuan said: "Take good care of your father-in-law and mother-in-law. I will come to pick you up when I am settled in Lin'an Prefecture."

Zhao Jianjia's voice was a little choked: "Zhou Yuan... We are reconciled, right? If you go there, will you not want to look back at me?"

Zhou Yuan smiled bitterly: "What do you mean?"

Zhao Jianjia said: "Lin'an Prefecture is prosperous and is the second most prosperous city after Shenjing and Jinling. It is the capital of Jiangnan and has many talented men and women. Every one of those outstanding girls is better than me."

Zhao Jianjia was obviously self-deprecating. Whether it was her appearance or her talent, she was very outstanding. There might not be anyone in Lin'an Prefecture who could compare with her.

Zhou Yuan pinched her face and said, "What are you thinking about? I can find two concubines at most, and then let them wash your feet."

"No!"

Zhao Jianjia said quickly, "I don't want to! I have already told Ziyuan, she will keep a close eye on you."

Zhou Yuan laughed out loud and waved his hand, "Okay, don't worry about those, let's go."

He hugged Zhao Jianjia and walked out of the gate of Zhao's mansion.

A man who has left home has entered the world.

Zhou Yuan's way of doing things will no longer be as gentle as before.

He got on the carriage and went all the way to Mo Yunzhai.

Qu Ling's two carriages were also ready. She was wearing a light red long skirt, obviously dressed up carefully, with simple makeup, but she looked particularly energetic.

When she saw Zhou Yuan, she got on the carriage directly and smiled: "Oh! Why are you dressed so formally today? It seems that your wife is beginning to worry about your image."

Zi Yuan stared at her with her mouth raised high. The lady had instructed that other women should not be allowed to deceive the son-in-law away.

Zhou Yuan said: "After all, we are going to the provincial government, so of course I can't embarrass Mo Yunzhai.Miss Qu is also very beautiful today, this dress fits her very well. "

"Thank you!"

Qu Ling is not a shy person, she smiled generously and said: "I have always been very beautiful, and there were many scholars pursuing me in Jinling City, and Lin'an Prefecture is no exception, so please help me block them when necessary."

Zhou Yuan nodded and said: "Okay, I am best at helping people to be a shield, but I will charge a certain amount of compensation."

Qu Ling rolled her eyes and said: "Didn't I promise to compensate you with 80,000 taels of silver? Are you so short of money!"

Zhou Yuan said seriously: "But I am short of women."

Qu Ling blushed, snorted softly, pointed at Ziyuan and said: "You didn't touch Zhao Jianjia, but the maid can be fine, she is beautiful, let her sleep with you tonight."

Ziyuan was startled and waved her hand quickly: "No! How can a maid come before the master..."

In fact, Zhao Jianjia mentioned this last night, saying that if Zhou Yuan wanted a woman, he could take Ziyuan into his room.

But Zhou Yuan refused, not because he didn't want to, but because he didn't want to embarrass Ziyuan.

"Forget it!"

Zhou Yuan smiled and said, "I have longed for the Qinlou and Chuguan by the West Lake. There is obviously no shortage of women there!"

Qu Ling curled her lips and whispered, "Those cheap ones are not worthy of you."

The two people in the carriage chatted like this. After a while, the carriage finally arrived at the city gate.

Getting off the carriage to check the documents was not a cumbersome process. There were servants who handled these matters specifically for Qu Ling.

Several people got on the carriage again. The moment they walked out of the city gate, Zhou Yuan saw the lonely figure standing at the foot of the city wall.

"It's Xue Ningyue. "

Qu Ling's voice was very light. She just said one sentence and stopped talking.

She was a very smart woman and knew that she shouldn't interrupt at this time.

Zhou Yuan lifted the curtain at the back of the carriage and saw Xue Ningyue standing there, waving her handkerchief.

She shouted: "Brother Zhou! Have a good trip!"

At this moment, her voice was not weak, but full of extraordinary courage.

"I will miss you! Brother Zhou!"

"Don't forget Ningyue!"

Zhou Yuan did not respond, but just quietly watched the figure getting farther and farther away from him.

She was so small, but her feelings were so sincere.

She had no purpose, nothing else to ask for, just pure admiration.

She was different from those women in her previous life.

At the end of the field of vision that completely disappeared, Zhou Yuan put down the curtain and sat quietly with a calm face.

After a long time, Qu Ling said softly: "It can be seen that you like her very much. "

Zhou Yuan smiled and said calmly: "The innocence of a girl can move any frozen soul."

Qu Ling said: "But you already have a wife, how can you live up to her? You can't ask her to be a concubine."

Zhou Yuan was silent for a moment before saying: "So, I found my goal."

"What?"

"I have no interest in power, but power can make me live up to her, right?"

"I won't live up to her."
