At the construction site of the elixir workshop, more than twenty craftsmen were busy repairing. The courtyard, wing room, warehouse, high wall and other building layout were being renovated. As the foreman of the project, Mao Ada worked very hard and tried to do everything to the best of his ability. The secret wall he promised to build for Zhou Qingfeng was the core of the renovation and also the first part to be completed.
Yang Jian stood outside the construction site and stared at Zhou Qingfeng while gritting his teeth and leaning against a pile of wood. Zhou Qingfeng was in charge of supervising in the yard. All the spiritual power of the Eastern Pearls had been consumed, so the elixir refining had to be put aside for the time being.
Yesterday, Abahai came to Zhou Qingfeng and happened to see Zhou Qingfeng making a big change. Yang Jian believed that it was some kind of misunderstanding, so he hated and feared Zhou Qingfeng. In a hurry, he said that he was going to complain, but Zhou Qingfeng retorted, "Go ahead and complain, let's see who will die. Will it be me, the one who had an affair with the Grand Concubine, or you, the one who knew that I had an affair with the Grand Concubine? "
Yang Jian had been with Gu Yuanwei in the Eastern Factory for a long time, so he had seen all kinds of strange and unbelievable cases. He especially knew that the secrets of the rich and powerful could not be easily exposed. If he was not careful, the one who had an affair with his brother-in-law would be fine, but the one who stood up to report would be in big trouble.
Yang Jian was scared. Not only did he not dare to complain, but he also felt that Zhou Qingfeng had a stronger background and should not be provoked easily. However, Yang Jian was still young and would not admit defeat easily. He took advantage of another misunderstanding of Zhou Qingfeng to make a fuss. From time to time, he would say that Zhou Qingfeng could only hold on for a quarter of an hour. Every time he said that, Zhou Qingfeng was so angry that his lungs were about to burn into charcoal, but he felt comfortable in his heart.
Seven or eight meters away, Zhou Qingfeng just ignored Yang Jian. He was quite satisfied with the progress of the elixir workshop, so he specially invited all the slave craftsmen to eat at noon and especially encouraged them. It was rare to see a master like him who was willing to spend money on efficiency. When the craftsmen had food in their stomachs, they would naturally work faster.
However, when Zhou Qingfeng walked out of the Pill Workshop's construction site, Yang Jian sneered and said, "Junior Martial Brother, you have such great prestige. Spending a little bit of money and saying a few words to win people's hearts was truly impressive. So this is the power you obtained by colluding with the Grand Concubine of Jianzhou. Very impressive. But don't you think it's too much of a slut to climb up under a woman's skirt? "
"You want to be coquettish, but you can't." Zhou Qingfeng couldn't avoid Yang Jian, so he could only retort. "Someone like you can only make some disgusting remarks behind people's backs. Other than that, what else can you do? Even I despise you. "
Yang Jian's face immediately flushed red with anger.
After standing outside the Pill Workshop for a short while, Abahai ran over with quite a few people. This Grand Concubine really had a lot of free time. It was rare for her to get involved in something, so she came every day. When Yang Jian saw her, he was like a mouse seeing a cat. He took the initiative to avoid her.
Seeing that Yang Jian wasn't there, Zhou Qingfeng suddenly had an idea. He went up to greet Abahai, then lowered his voice and said, "Grand Concubine, I have a presumptuous request that I would like to ask for your help."
Perhaps it was because she saw the adult version of Zhou Qingfeng with his shirt ripped off yesterday, but seeing the eight year old Zhou Qingfeng take the initiative to speak today, Abahai's expression was somewhat strange. She said with 30% coldness and 70% wariness, "What is it? If it's too difficult, then don't mention it. "
"It's not difficult, it's not difficult. My Senior Martial Brother Yang Jian is an honest and considerate person with great ability. He has followed my master for many years and served him with all his heart, but he delayed his own important matters. Now, he's already 18 years old, but he's not married yet. He's also living in the Barren Border Capital, far away from his family, living alone every day. He's really pitiful.
There are three ways to be unfilial, of which having no descendants is the worst. As his Junior Martial Brother, I'm also worried for him. Now that we've settled down in Hetuala, I want to help him settle this matter. It'll also allow his Yang Family to expand and live a stable life here.
It's just that us Senior Martial Brothers have just arrived and are unfamiliar with the city, so we don't know whose family's daughter is suitable. I'd like to ask Grand Concubine for a favor and be a matchmaker for my single Senior Martial Brother. Even if there's no suitable candidate at the moment, at least get him two concubines to warm his bed, so that he won't be lonely at night. "
What's more, I don't want Yang Jian to follow me around like a shadow all day long. It's so annoying. "
Pfft … Abahai covered her mouth and laughed. "How old are you? You actually want to find a woman for your Senior Martial Brother? "
Zhou Qingfeng's face was serious. "My Senior Martial Brother is thin-skinned, and there are some things he can't say. I see that he's always sighing and being listless. He must be lacking women. As his Junior Martial Brother, it's only right for me to speak on his behalf. "
Yang Jian wasn't here. If he was, he'd definitely jump up and curse — Zhou Qingfeng, you're too f * cking bad. You're really a complete bastard, full of evil tricks! Who told you to marry me when you're so free? What does this have to do with you?
If I don't find some trouble for Yang Jian, he'll be following me around all day. Zhou Qingfeng was serious, indicating that he wasn't just saying it casually. Abahai, on the other hand, chuckled and said happily, "Your Senior Martial Brother treats you harshly and mercilessly, but you want to marry him. Are you sincere?"
"After all, we're disciples of the same Master, so why bother? It's probably because I've been too naughty after entering the sect, and I didn't suffer the hardships that Senior Martial Brother experienced in the past, so Senior Martial Brother is a little unhappy in his heart.
If he has a wife and daughter to accompany him after marriage, a happy family, and a happy life, he'll definitely be open-minded, and I'll be happy too. "Whether Yang Jian was open-minded or not was unknown, but Zhou Qingfeng was quite open-minded now.
Abahai knew that Gu Yuanwei and his disciples were people that Nurhachi tried his best to win over, so it was normal for him to arrange a marriage for them. She pondered for a moment and said, "This is a good thing. I'll talk to Great Khan, and I think Great Khan will agree. He'll definitely let your Senior Martial Brother marry a woman of equal status. "
Abahai sent someone to call Yang Jian to the front and said sternly, "You're really lucky as a Senior Martial Brother. You should be grateful to have such a good Junior Martial Brother. Not only does he not hold grudges, but he also wants you to live well. If you bully him again in the future, I won't agree. As for the matter you asked, I'll do it for you. Don't worry, I'll definitely make you satisfied. "
Although it was Zhou Qingfeng who asked, Abahai didn't think it was really his idea. Instead, she felt that Yang Jian was using Zhou Qingfeng to get a wife and pull her relationship with Jianzhou closer. Since ancient times, intermarriage had been the best way.
But what was this Grand Concubine of Jianzhou talking about?
Yang Jian's head was dizzy and he was completely confused. He didn't even know that his marriage had been decided by Zhou Qingfeng with just a few words. When he heard 'don't worry' and 'will definitely make you satisfied', he felt that he had received some kind of grace from the words, and subconsciously bowed his head to thank the grace.
But when he lowered his head, Yang Jian saw that Zhou Qingfeng was smiling at him. He was so frightened by Zhou Qingfeng's smile that his hair stood on end. A chill ran from his tailbone to the top of his head. He felt like a flying insect that had fallen into a spider's web. He wanted to struggle for his life, but he was bound to sink deeper and deeper. Zhou Qingfeng was the poisonous spider weaving the web, laughing and slowly approaching him.
In broad daylight, Yang Jian shivered and broke out in cold sweat. Only then did he realize that he didn't know what was going on. How could he agree so casually? But before he could ask clearly, Abahai waved her hand and dismissed him. The whole process could be described with one word — involuntary!
After Yang Jian left, Abahai smiled at Zhou Qingfeng again. She seemed to have something to say, but first took out some candied fruits and honey water for Zhou Qingfeng to eat and drink. Zhou Qingfeng was hungry. When he saw these snacks, he quickly thanked her and stuffed them into his mouth, praising them as he ate.
Seeing that Zhou Qingfeng was eating happily, Abahai lowered her voice and said softly, "Little Zhou, I saw your brother Zhou Qingshan yesterday."
Pfft … Zhou Qingfeng was eating a candied date when he almost choked to death. The date stone stuck in his throat, causing him to cough violently.
"What's wrong with you?"
"Nothing, nothing. I accidentally choked."
Abahai recalled the scene of seeing the adult version of Zhou Qingfeng yesterday and smiled. She lowered her voice and said, "Your brother is quite interesting. Did he tell you what happened yesterday?"
"No." Zhou Qingfeng's heart was filled with bitterness.
"Really? He didn't even tell you, his brother. He's quite tight-lipped. "Abahai was amused again.
Zhou Qingfeng thought, "That's me. Who can I tell?"
"Why didn't I see him today?"
"He's shy by nature and doesn't like to meet people."
"Oh … I can see that. Your brother is quite different from you. Yesterday, I saw that he didn't even know how to speak. When he did, he blushed. I've never seen a man blushing before. How old is your brother? He should be seventeen or eighteen, but I think he's in his twenties. "
"This … He's as old as you say he is."
"Is he married yet?"
"No."
"I can see that too. He looks like a bachelor. When he saw a woman, his eyes widened. Logically speaking, he's also very good-looking. Why isn't he married yet? Have you been picking too many girls? "
What did you see? I'm not blind. I just didn't know what to do at that time!
"Do you want me to arrange a marriage for your brother?"
"No, no, no, there's no need. He … he has someone he likes. He has a lot of sweethearts. "
Abahai said for a while, then squatted down and said to Zhou Qingfeng, "There's an important ceremony in Jianzhou at the end of the year. I want to make some special baihua wine, but I can't make it. I want to ask him. "
"But my brother isn't good at making wine."
"How can he not be good at it? When I asked him yesterday, he said he was good at it."
Are you kidding? When did I say I was good at it yesterday?
Abahai's voice turned cold again. "Kid, why are you making decisions for your brother? Tell him to come to the pill shop this afternoon, no … tomorrow afternoon. Remember to get him dressed. If I see him naked again, I'll kill him. "
"I'm afraid he's not free."
"No, he has to be free even if he's not. Also, if I don't come, he's not allowed to leave. "
This was making things difficult for him.
Abahai bit his lip again and said in a low voice, "Don't think too much. I think he's a talent. He speaks well and is good-looking. He's quite likable. If he makes me happy, maybe I'll praise him a little. It's settled then. Let him come tomorrow. "
With that, Abahai chuckled and left quickly.
Was there a mistake? What was going on?
