Zhou Lijun coughed lightly, and said with a smile: "It's our fault. In fact, it's not a confidential matter. It's just that our parents are worried, so our siblings avoid talking here."
She changed her voice and asked with a smile: "When did Brother Xiang come back? Have you eaten? Do you want to eat with us?"
Xiang Mingxue nodded after thinking for a while and said, "Then don't bother, I just went to meet your parents."
Not to mention Zhou Lijun, even Zhou Liwei was taken aback for a moment, the siblings were polite, why did brother Xiang, who was always polite, suddenly become so rude
Zhou Liwei scratched his head, and couldn't help looking at Zhou Lijun, what to do, they have eaten.
Zhou Lijun was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Please, big brother, my fourth uncle is also here, do you want some wine?"
Xiang Mingxue smiled and nodded.
When they arrived at the main hall, Lao Zhoutou and the others were talking to Mrs. Liu and Mr. Zhuang, while Zhou Dalang and his brothers stood in another pile, not knowing what they were talking about.
Zhou Zhoulang looked up and saw Xiang Mingxue, his eyes lit up immediately, he left his brothers and went up to meet him, laughed and patted him on the shoulder and said: "Brother Xiang, as soon as I came back, I heard that you went to Fengzhou, I thought It will take several days to see you, but I didn't expect you to come back now."
Xiang Mingxue said with a smile: "I came back early this morning, and I have arranged for my subordinates to come here. I didn't expect such a coincidence that you are also coming to Beijing at this time."
Zhou Zhoulang asked, "Have you talked with Fengzhou?"
Xiang Mingxue smiled and nodded, "Yes, so the time to enter the grassland this year will be delayed, at least until the summer harvest is all over before entering."
Xiang Mingxue didn't plan to compete with Zhou Zhoulang for the tea business. The goods they imported from the grassland included medicinal materials, furs, pearls and gems, because they each had their own sales channels, so there was no conflict at present.
So it's a mutually beneficial relationship.
Originally, Xiang Mingxue also had a tea business, but it was not big, but his hometown is also in Jiannan Road, so it is not difficult to find tea.
But after thinking about it, he gave up this business and left it all to Zhou Zhoulang. He went to Fengzhou to find food. He planned to do food business when he entered the grassland. Make a lot of money.
Zhou Zhoulang naturally knew that this was Xiang Mingxue's kindness, and he was a little anxious, but also a little moved. After a pause, he wanted to pull Xiang Mingxue to talk about it carefully later, but he finally opened his mouth to Xiang Ming Xue just looked over there, "That's..."
"Oh, those are my second brother and second sister-in-law," Zhou Zhoulang remembered that he hadn't seen his second brother and second sister-in-law yet. He walked by the east side door, but he would always meet under the same roof, so he pulled Xiang Mingxue to meet Zhou Zhoulang and his wife first.
"Second brother, this is what I told you about brother Xiang, brother Xiang, this is my second brother and second sister-in-law."
Tuesday Lang raised a smiling face and was about to say hello, but Xiang Mingxue was silent for a while and then called out, "Uncle Tuesday, Aunt Tuesday..."
Zhou Zhoulang's smiling face froze slightly, and he couldn't help looking at Zhou Zhoulang, what's going on? Why is he just a generation older than the eldest brother
Zhou Zhoulang also froze, turning his head to look at Mingxue.
There was a suspicious blush on Xiang Mingxue's face, although it was not obvious, but Zhou Zhoulang could still see the embarrassment of his good brother...
Why be ashamed
Zhou Zhoulang's head turned slowly. It was obvious that the brothers were all brothers, even the older Zhou Dalang and Xiang Mingxue were called Brother Zhou. Why did the second brother call him Uncle
A firework exploded in Zhou Zhoulang's mind, and he suddenly thought of the troubles that the second sister-in-law had been rambling about just now, saying that Li Jun hadn't said goodbye to him when he was so old...
Friday Lang and Saturday Lang also fell silent, looking at Xiang Mingxue silently.
Zhou Liwei turned his head stiffly to look at his sister. Zhou Lijun met his gaze inexplicably, and it took him a while to realize what he meant... and what Xiang Mingxue meant.
Zhou Lijun was surprised for a moment, and couldn't help but look up at Xiang Mingxue.
Zhou Dalang walked over from the other side with his sleeves rolled down, and seeing them standing together but did not hear a sound, he asked, "What are you talking about? Mr. Xiang is back? Are you ready for dinner? Do you want some food?" "
Xiang Mingxue took a deep breath quietly, trying not to notice much change, and said: "I've already eaten, thank you...Brother, it's late, I'm going back to the room to rest first, I came here thinking about returning I haven't seen Uncle Tuesday, so I came over to say hello."
So he saluted Mingxue and left.
Zhou Dalang looked puzzled, and turned to Zhou Zhoulang, "Who is Uncle Zhou? Our uncle?"
Zhou Zhou Lang just stared at Zhou Zhou Lang, his expression was indescribable.
Zhou Zhoulang was not stupid, at first he thought it was Xiang Mingxue who called him wrong, but he also called his elder brother specially after that, obviously it wasn't an accidental staggering, it was intentional.
But I don't know if I called it wrong or right.
Zhou Zhoulang looked at Zhou Lijun, and the father and daughter looked at each other silently. In the end, Zhou Zhoulang still didn't have the nerve to ask his daughter these things.
This kind of thing should be asked by the mother.
But he knew that his wife and daughter actually had some conflicts, especially now that the daughter was getting more and more violent and her temper was getting tougher. It would be good if the two of them got together, not to mention whether they could ask questions, as long as they didn't quarrel.
So he looked at Zhou Zhoulang, and simply stretched out his hand to drag him away.
Feng Shi wanted to ask Zhou Lijun for a question, but Zhou Zhou Lang felt that something was going to go wrong, so he immediately pulled Feng Shi with his hand, "Second sister-in-law, let's talk together."
Mrs. Feng came in early, and Zhou Zhoulang was still a kid at that time, so she unceremoniously reached out and patted his paw, but she didn't object, and just followed their brothers away, she also wanted to ask clearly what is going on.
However, Zhou Lijun's heart was broken, she made a mistake, she was too mistaken, she wanted to bring disaster to the east, but why did she usher in a disaster on her own head
She looked at Zhou Liwei suspiciously, "It's you..."
"No," Zhou Liwei said without thinking, "Second Sister, this is about your reputation. Am I the kind of person who would make fun of sisters' fame?"
Only then did Zhou Lijun think about another possibility, "So..."
Zhou Liwei lowered his voice and said: "So Big Brother Xiang likes you, no wonder he would ask us to call him Big Brother Xiang, and talk about different things..."
Zhou Zhoulang was also explaining to Zhou Zhoulang and Feng Shi, "People on the grassland don't care about trivial matters, and our two families are either relatives or friends, it's just a favor, so on the grassland he talked with Lizhong and the others. He doesn't want to be called old for nothing, so let them call him Big Brother Xiang, then I have different opinions when doing business with him, so that's why we call him like this."
"Calling? Then why did he call the elder brother the elder brother, but it was my turn to call the second uncle? He can tell who is following who," Zhou Zhou Lang stared at Zhou Zhou Lang and asked, "Tell me honestly, are you Li Jun?" What's up with him..."
