The Minister of Industry is already quite an official.
However, this Zuo Shilang is not Zuo Shilang, but Right Shilang whose surname is Zuo.
Qiao Yan's aunt didn't have a high status in this family. She was just a concubine of the third son.
Concubine? !
Zhou Xiaozhou really had never thought about this situation. He thought she was the mistress of the family. She must be the real wife of the eldest family member. Why would a concubine in the third room invite relatives over?
Isn’t this annoying!
One more person and one more mouth will cost money to eat, drink, and eat. No one likes people who come to the house to eat.
If you live idle for a long time, you are even less likely to get a good look.
Not to mention not being alone.
Arriving outside the Zuofu Gate, Escort Gao drove off on his own in a carriage.
Zhou Xiaozhou and the girl Chunfang were waiting at the door with Qiao Yan.
The threshold is indeed relatively high, more than half a meter. It is not easy for shorter people to cross the threshold, and they can easily get over it.
After a while, I saw a beautiful woman coming in a hurry.
This woman is indeed good-looking, but her background is not very good. If she wants to marry into a wealthy family, she has no chance to even become a wife.
"Auntie, I am Qiao Yan..."
"You are the second girl!
In the blink of an eye, I haven't seen him for several years. He looks so fresh and fresh. It's very good. "
Aunt Qiao Yan's name was Qiao Xing. She was also an escort from the Wuhu Escort Agency. She was a martial arts practitioner and quite heroic. She happily pulled Qiao Yan in.
"I've been waiting for more than half a year to get you here. No wonder it's hard to wait. My aunt is desperate."
"The journey is too long to start."
Qiao Yan followed generously through the door and looked at the high official's residence curiously.
It is said that once you enter the Houmen, it is as deep as the sea. Although the palace of the Vice Minister is not that deep, there is still a courtyard that covers an area of dozens of acres, with pavilions and pavilions looming among the rockeries and trees.
Waterside pavilions surround the stream, winding paths lead to secluded areas, the environment is elegant and unique, and the scenery of the world is full of beauty.
Fairyland needs to fly to the sky,
Dragon Palace also requires water diving.
Where can we find wealth in the world?
As long as you are an official, you can get it.
Seeking fame and wealth is the ultimate pursuit of every scholar.
It is also a rare opportunity to stand out.
I feel sad because the royal city is far away. To be able to get here and occupy a palace is to cross a single-plank bridge with thousands of troops.
Qiao Xing's residence is just a small courtyard against the wall of the west courtyard. There are four or five wing rooms in a row. It is relatively old. It is obvious at a glance that her status is really low.
It's very remote and old, and there's a dirty pond in front of the house.
The yard is not big and the environment is not very good.
So many wonderful places like fairyland belong to others...
She has a son and a daughter. The eldest daughter is about the same age as Qiao Yan. She is good-looking and named Zuo Xi'er. But she is also lukewarm when meeting Qiao Yan. When she comes out of the room, she just nods and turns around. gone.
The second son, who was only in his early ten years, was a bit of a playboy and very naughty. He sneaked in from outside the courtyard gate and suddenly threw a piece of mud at him.
Zhou Xiaozhou stepped in front of Qiao Yan and got covered in mud.
Mud!
Zhou Xiaozhou was caught off guard by this naughty kid, and his clothes were completely black, making him feel sick.
In the past, if it was dirty every day, you might not care much about it, but now it is clean every day, and if a handful of mud suddenly falls on it, you will be very annoyed.
Fortunately, the mud didn't fall on Qiao Yan, otherwise it would have been embarrassing.
It won't be a big deal if you leave the servant behind.
Qiao Xing was furious: "Let's see if I don't beat you to death!"
The naughty kid ran away in a flash.
She just tried to scare him and didn't really pursue him. She said helplessly, "Your brother has been naughty since he was a child. He really has a lot of headaches."
I thought my aunt was living a good life in the royal city, but it turned out that she was just living under someone else's roof and being a concubine.
If she comes to live under her roof again, will it be okay?
Qiao Yan was disappointed and rushed over excitedly. She was a little unhappy because of the huge gap. She wanted to wipe Zhou Xiaozhou with a handkerchief, but she felt it was too dirty: "Find some water to wash it. I'll buy you some clothes later. I only have one." It’s not good if you don’t have to change your condoms.”
Qiao Xing looked at Zhou Xiaozhou and asked, "This is..."
"It's my classmate who escorted me all the way here."
Qiao Yan didn't want to talk about accompanying the school boy, she had lost her status in vain.
"Sorry."
Qiao Xing led them to the side room, "Stay here for a while, and wait until your uncle returns from work to take care of you."
The Third Young Master Zuo held a temporary position in a certain government office. He usually didn't have much to do and would come back after get off work hours. The family is very busy, with one wife, two concubines, and a dozen children, so they are very worried.
With his salary, he couldn't afford to support so many people, and he had to ask for money from his family, so naturally he wouldn't have a high status in the family.
Her husband's status was not high, let alone a concubine like Qiao Xing.
Qiao Xing also wanted to bring his relatives back, which would naturally increase his pressure and make him very unhappy. After finally calling him over, he still had a cold face. After discovering that Qiao Yanzi looked good, his face changed drastically and he looked smiling.
The third young master Zuo is really good-looking, so it’s no wonder that Qiao Xing is willing to come all the way to marry him as a concubine.
But his eyes were not very authentic, and he looked at Qiao Yan with lustful eyes, instead of the kind of calmness that an elder would have when looking at a younger one.
Zhou Xiaozhou couldn't arouse any interest in talking to him, so he just wandered outside in the yard.
The naughty boy poked his head outside the courtyard gate and grabbed a hand of mud to look at him.
Zhou Xiaozhou suddenly became angry and raised his hand to punch him. The shadow of a vicious dog rushed over and jumped on him. He screamed in fright and covered himself with mud.
This move of Mingyue Dog actually has no fighting power at all, and it can only scare children.
The naughty boy cried loudly and complained to his parents, saying that Zhou Xiaozhou had beaten him.
"Who is this person?"
The Third Young Master Zuo immediately became angry, pointed at him and cursed, "Get out of here."
Qiao Xing hurriedly said: "This is Yan'er's guard..."
"It's time to get out. Why don't you stay at home without gossip..."
Qiao Yan also had a stubborn temper. She turned around to greet the girl, took the baggage and left.
The third young master Zuo said hurriedly: "Niece, I'm not talking about you, you can stay..."
"Do not care."
Qiao Yan pulled Zhou Xiaozhou, "Let's go, we can't reach a higher level."
The third young master Zuo winked at Qiao Xing, and Qiao Xing quickly grabbed Qiao Yan: "You can't say that. If you leave like this, where will your aunt's face go?
My aunt will definitely teach this brat a lesson. He will only cause trouble every day. "
It took a lot of effort for her relatives to come all the way, and then leave immediately without staying overnight. This would indeed make her aunt lose face, and she would only lose her status even more in the future.
Qiao Yan hesitated for a moment, then endured it and said, "It's getting late, let's stay one night first. Zhou Xiaozhou is my bodyguard, and your family is quite dangerous. He must never leave my side."
The third young master Zuo was embarrassed, and then he took his son and beat him again.
Qiao Yan said doubtfully: "Aunt, how could you fall in love with such a person?"
"We were young and ignorant at that time."
Qiao Xing sighed helplessly, and then said, "Let your uncle ask tomorrow to see if he can arrange for you to attend Da Ru's lecture..."
This year's studies have ended, and next year's affairs have already been arranged. I will make arrangements for you as soon as possible so as not to worry about the next year. "
Qiao Yan hesitated, looked at Zhou Xiaozhou, and endured it.
