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

Chapter 1179

Nothing to do today, so I went to the brothel to listen to… I can’t listen to any music.

Ningyue just gave birth to a child and is still in confinement, so she can’t go out. Zhou Yuan has to spend more time with her and the child.

But the two of them get along very happily. Zhou Yuan only talks, and Ningyue only listens. The two of them are active and quiet, which just makes up for each other.

The biggest theme is of course storytelling, mainly around martial arts stories and historical epics… Because I was caught by Jianjia when I told the story of SeSe at the beginning, and I was scolded.

"You know Ningyue can't do anything, so you seduce her like this. When the time comes, you will find someone else to solve the problem. What will happen to my sister Ningyue?"

"Be honest with me. Accompanying a woman in labor is a serious matter. Don't be so frivolous."

Before going to class, Jianjia gave another sweet date: "On the first day of next month, the Imperial Academy will hold a spring outing. If you perform well and make Ningyue happy, I will let you go and show your face."

Zhou Yuan waved his hand and said, "No, I'm past the stage of showing off."

Zhao Jianjia narrowed her eyes and said, "To be precise, the Imperial Academy Women's College will hold..."

"Go!"

Zhou Yuan said directly, "People can't be too Buddhist when they are alive. Just pretend when you need to. I like to communicate with young students, impart knowledge, and clear the way for them."

Zhao Jianjia snorted and said, "Perform well yourself! If I know that Ningyue is unhappy..."

She left in a hurry before she finished speaking.

Zhou Yuan looked at Ningyue.

Xue Ningyue laughed and said, "Don't worry, big brother. I will always stand by you."

"My Ningyue is still the best."

Zhou Yuan hugged her and said, "I will tell you a new story today, called "A Journey to the West". I guarantee you will enjoy it."

He spent the whole morning talking to Ningyue. After lunch, Ningyue felt a little sleepy, so Zhou Yuan walked out of the yard.

He went to find Xiaoying and found that Xiaoying was fiddling with some jars and pots in the yard. Zhou Yuan took a look and his scalp went numb and he took several steps back.

Xiaoying scratched her head and smiled, "These are all Gu worms. They are competing, and eventually a few Gu Kings will remain. They will be useful when we go to the Western Regions."

Zhou Yuan smiled and said, "You little girl, how did you know I was going to take you to the Western Regions?"

Xiaoying tilted her head and showed two small canine teeth: "Because I'm smart. Grandma said that I've been smart since I was a child."

With your small body of 1.5 meters and 80 kilograms, is there a time when you are smaller?

Zhou Yuan lay on the rocking chair, resting his head on his hands and looking at the sky, and said slowly: "Xiaoying, will you be bored at home?"

Xiaoying was stunned for a moment, and quickly waved her hands and said: "No, I won't be bored. I spent a lot of time cultivating these Gu worms, and I also have to take care of our little Wenshu, and occasionally talk to Sifan."

"She doesn't talk much, usually only to me and Sister Ningyue."

Zhou Yuan nodded, thinking about their daily lives, feeling bored, but also a little warm.

He still looked at the sky, feeling very happy, but there was an indescribable taste.

This feeling is hard to describe. It's like it's hard to fit into the current pace of life. I always feel bored and always want to find something exciting to do.

Forget it!

Let's go see those two students!

Zhou Yuan stood up and said, "Xiaoying, let's go to the Qinshui Princess's Mansion with your brother!"

"I can't go!"

Xiaoying said hurriedly, "I can't leave here. I have to cultivate the Gu King as soon as possible and observe more."

"Then I'll go by myself and come back in the evening."

He heard Xiaoying whispering... "I'm afraid I won't be able to come back in the evening..."

This girl is smart.

When he arrived at the Qinshui Princess's Mansion, the sun had already set, and Zhou Yuan finally saw the terrifying ocean waves again.

Bai Xue ran over in small steps, swaying all the way, shocked, and then threw herself into Zhou Yuan's arms.

"Sir! Xue'er finally sees you again!"

The squeezing feeling was really terrifying.

Zhou Yuan held her face and kissed her, then smiled and said, "It's been almost a year since we last met. Are you doing well?"

Bai Xue held Zhou Yuan's arm and walked briskly with him, occasionally shaking his arm. Her posture was very precise, making Zhou Yuan bend slightly.

"Although it was very busy, it was very fulfilling."

Bai Xue said softly, "My sister and I accompanied the owner of the village all the way south. We first went to the Qu family, then accompanied the inner guards to escort the silver to Jiangxi, and finally boarded the ship in Xiangzhou and arrived in Qiongzhou."

At this point, she didn't care about tempting Zhou Yuan, but stood in front of Zhou Yuan, her tone choked up.

"My sister and I met my father and mother. They have aged a lot, but they are living well there."

"Father helped build the drying field and formulate the salt drying process. It was very tiring."

"Mother is responsible forTaking care of the elders and younger generations at home, everyone has their own things to do. "

"It's poorer than before, but it's obvious that everyone is in good spirits."

Bai Bing also walked out of the room, and seeing her sister talking about this, she stood beside her.

Bai Xue's eyes were full of tears, and she said in a trembling voice: "Father said that among the major families in Yangzhou, except for the Song family who took the initiative to confess and barely survived by relying on the face of the old master, all other families have died out."

"The Bai family can survive, find something to do, and can help the court, all thanks to the help of the master."

"Father asked us to take good care of the master, be obedient, be grateful, and not be willful."

"Sir, Xue'er kowtows to you on behalf of the Bai family."

After speaking, she knelt down and kowtowed.

Bai Bing also knelt down quickly, together with her sister.

Zhou Yuan waved his hand and said: "Okay, everyone get up, don't be so polite. ”

“The Bai family was able to survive, on the one hand, because the salt inspection needed a breakthrough, and on the other hand, because Bai Jingtang knew what to do and found his own value.”

“It was not my credit to pardon them. It was the court that recovered Liaodong and issued a general amnesty.”

“I admit that I was a little partial to you, but I did not violate the principles.”

Bai Xue hugged Zhou Yuan’s arm again, leaned her head on her shoulder, and whispered: “Anyway, Xue’er knew that if it weren’t for the feelings of the master, the Bai family would never have the result today.”

“Sir, my father said you are a national hero.”

“He said that the story of the master was spread all over the country, including Qiongzhou, Fenglangjuxu, pacifying the southwest, defeating the Portuguese and Dutch fleets, recovering Dongfan Island, and recovering Liaodong... He raised the national destiny of our Great Jin.”

“He asked... let us follow the master well, saying that this is the blessing we have cultivated for several lifetimes, and we can benefit from following the master. ”

Speaking of this, she giggled and said, "Anyway, I have already decided on you, sir, and I don't want to go anywhere."

"I am now the personal maid of His Highness Qinshui. In the future, I will follow the princess to marry into the palace and become a maidservant. Xue'er will be very satisfied."

Zhou Yuan couldn't help laughing and said, "What do you think?"

Bai Bing lowered her head and whispered, "I... I used to... not be able to distinguish between good and evil..."

"Time can bring the truth. Later, I slowly saw clearly that... sir... is a hero, not a dog official, but a little... a little unruly..."

She didn't know where she got the courage from. She suddenly looked up and said seriously, "Logically speaking, a woman from a criminal family like us is absolutely unworthy of you, sir, but if you don't mind, Bai Bing... Bai Bing is also willing to be a maidservant with my sister and serve you for the rest of my life."

"Great!"

Bai Xue jumped up excitedly and said excitedly, "Sister finally figured it out! We sisters don't have to be separated in the future! "

Zhou Yuan burst into laughter when he heard this.
