Chapter 162
"No, really, the relationship between me and the warlord is not what you imagined." Lu Yunqian hurriedly explained to Zhou Lang.
"It doesn't matter if it's true or not, but if my sister-in-law is really convinced of a person, she must bring him back, let my mother and I take a closer look, and it's not too late to make a conclusion." Zhou Lang said solemnly.
He was just joking before, and he looked at the night scene slightly, as if he was paying attention to his sister-in-law again. Although he hid it quite deeply, he could still see through it at a glance.
Lu Yunqian didn't speak, and after a while, she put aside the subject: "How is mother today?"
Hearing this, Zhou Lang's eyes lowered slightly, and he secretly glanced at Xiao Cui who was standing aside.
"My mother is still in good health today, but she has contracted a cold since my sister-in-law left. She can't recover for a while, but it shouldn't hurt."
Lu Yunqian nodded and said, "I haven't been home for many days, and I miss my mother very much. Let's go back together in two days."
Zhou Lang said: "Originally, I wanted to hide it from my sister-in-law, that is, because my sister-in-law was seriously injured, I couldn't bear to go back when I heard the news of my mother's illness. But my sister-in-law still knew."
"As a child, my mother is seriously ill. Naturally, I have to go back. How can I stay outside? I have been away for such a long time, and I have not been able to go to her bedside to do my filial piety. My heart is not at ease."
Zhou Lang looked at her, and said after a while: "I was thinking about coming to visit my sister-in-law, and I won't be too late to leave after she recovers from her injuries. Since my sister-in-law said so, then I will stay in Jinzhou City for a few more days. Let's go together when my sister-in-law recovers from her injuries."
Seeing what he said, Lu Yunqian couldn't help feeling worried: "If you stay in Jinzhou City for a long time, who will take care of your mother? Who will take care of the shop in our town? Are you okay?"
Zhou Lang smiled and returned:
"Sister-in-law, don't worry, the little girls at home will take good care of her mother, and the shopkeeper in the shop can also support herself. Besides, this time I came to Jinzhou not only to visit my sister-in-law, the business in the shop also needs to gradually go to Jinzhou. Expansion in the state city, come by the way to discuss cooperation with a few businessmen."
She nodded: "Have you chosen a place to live?"
"It's in an inn not far from the Governor's Mansion. If my sister-in-law needs it, she can call me at any time." Zhou Lang's smile was like a spring breeze.
Lu Yunqian looked at his appearance, and remembered something: "I came to Jinzhou City this time, and I heard something about it. The Zhang family who framed our Zhou family's medicinal herb shop before, he said that he would be arrested. My daughter Zhang Ping betrothed to you."
Hearing this, Zhou Lang's usual breezy smile disappeared slightly, the hand that was holding the teacup while drinking tea paused, and gently put the teacup on the small table again.
"Well, there is indeed such a thing." His face was light and calm.
Lu Yunqian saw that his expression was calm, and there seemed to be no waves.So he asked, "What's the matter? But you're not satisfied?"
"It's not a matter of satisfaction or dissatisfaction. It was originally a marriage. If we really marry Miss Zhang's family, it will be beneficial to our Zhou family."
With a cold face, he calmly analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of this marriage.
"Hearing what you said, it doesn't matter what Miss Zhang's looks like, whether she is talented or not?" She asked again.
Zhou Lang smiled, "It doesn't matter."
All he wanted was to allow his father's business to develop. Marrying Ms. Zhang would naturally allow his shop to gain a foothold in Jinzhou City.
Lu Yunqian sighed slightly.
At this time, Ye Jing came from outside the room, lifted the bead curtain and said to her: "The food is ready, let's eat first, and we will talk after eating."
Zhou Lang hurriedly got up and declined, "I dare not accept the overlord's kindness, so I'd better leave the mansion."
Ye Jing said: "Since you have come all the way, I should treat you to a meal. It's just a simple meal, so don't mind."
Zhou Lang said, "Don't dare."
"Thanks to the superintendent's kindness, our Zhou family is already overwhelmed with gratitude, so how dare we bother the family?"
"Ah Lan also wants to eat, why don't you and her eat in the inner room, don't worry about it."
Zhou Lang originally wanted to decline, but seeing Lu Yunqian's bedridden state, he couldn't bear it for a while, so he agreed.
After lunch, Zhou Lang took a seat and chatted with Lu Yunqian for a few words. Seeing that she seemed a little sleepy at noon, he didn't stay in the governor's mansion any longer. See you again, sister-in-law."
Lu Yunqian nodded and said, "I'll go home as soon as I've recovered from my health in the past few days."
"No rush, no rush, sister-in-law will take care of her health first," Zhou Lang said.
Seeing this, Lu Yunqian stopped talking, and called Xiao Cui who was at the side: "Xiao Cui, go see the Second Young Master off."
Xiao Cui stood up, Zhou Lang made a salute and left the Governor's Mansion.
A few days later, Zhou Lang would come to the Governor's Mansion every day to say hello to Lu Yunqian, and sometimes he would tell her which teahouse he went to and merchants to drink tea with in the past two days.
"Have you seen Zhang Ping, Miss Zhang's family?" Lu Yunqian asked jokingly.
In the past two days, her health is much better than before, and she can stand up without the help of others.
In fact, she also pretended to be very tired. She had already taken painkilling pills, and she couldn't feel any physical pain. She just felt itchy everywhere on the body where she had been shot, and she didn't feel anything else.
But in order not to let everyone think that she is a monster, she had no choice but to pretend that she was still unable to get up from the pain.
Zhou Lang shook his head, with a faint smile in his eyes: "I haven't seen it before."
Lu Yunqian felt a little curious: "Could it be that you haven't been to Zhang's house these days?"
"I've been to Zhang's house, but it's only in the front hall, and I haven't seen Miss Zhang. Maybe Master Zhang thinks that we are discussing marriage and it's inconvenient to meet." Zhou Lang replied.
She nodded, and then asked, "What does Master Zhang think of you?"
"I don't have any ideas."
This man is really boring.
She thought silently in her heart.
With Zhou Lang's handsome appearance, young age and ability, how could Master Zhang not like it.
But if Zhou Lang didn't say anything, there was nothing he could do.
Lu Yunqian sighed slightly, and said to him: "I have met Miss Zhang's family, she is very beautiful."
Zhou Lang smiled faintly: "It doesn't matter what she looks like."
She is not talking.
Not long after Zhou Lang left the mansion, he went to the teahouse alone to drink tea, but he did not expect to meet Zhang Ping, the young lady of the Zhang family that Lu Yunqian had said he had a marriage contract with.
He was sitting on the second floor near the window, and he pushed open the wooden hinged window, looking down at the busy traffic and the endless flow of people.
This is a well-known place where merchants gather in Jinzhou City, and there are many people coming and going to buy things, so it is bustling every day.
The second floor of the tea house is quiet amidst the hustle and bustle. The quiet and semi-enclosed box is very elegant.
"You are Zhou Lang?"
At this time, a girl's voice as crisp as a yellow warbler sounded behind her, and she seemed a little angry.
