What does "not enough success and more failure" mean? Butler Xu is a typical example. Before Zhou Zhong could come and feel happy about clearing the debts of the Song family, Butler Xu came up timidly and told Zhou Zhong

, when he went to get the marriage certificate, he met the eldest daughter Zhuo'er, and he told her about the Song family's breakup of the engagement. As a result, Zhuo'er covered her face and ran to the back garden crying. Butler Xu was worried that something would happen to her.

, so as soon as Song and his son left, he immediately spoke out.

Girls in the Ming Dynasty married young and had a very precocious temperament. For example, Zhuo'er was only thirteen years old, but in fact her mental age was about the same as that of girls of sixteen or seventeen in later generations, and she could be considered an adult. However, her temperament may not necessarily be mature.

It's a good thing. For example, like today's incident, Zhuo'er fully understands the impact of breaking off the engagement on her life. To a young girl, this incident is like the sky has fallen. No wonder she is sad.

Originally, Li Min was planning to hide this matter from Zhuo'er. After all, after their father's death, they, the children, could not get married within three years, so Zhuo'er should not notice this matter in a short time, but

I didn’t expect Butler Xu’s bad talk to stop the door. Now that Zhuo’er knows about it, God knows how she will cry?

Butler Xu also knew that he was wrong, and slapped himself in the mouth as he spoke. Zhou Zhong didn't bother to scold him anymore, turned around and ran to the back garden.

Songjiang Prefecture, where the Zhou family is located, is also known as Shanghai in later generations. It is not very far from Suzhou and Hangzhou, so the architectural style is also more south-oriented. For example, the garden of the Zhou family is actually a southern garden style. The pavilions, pavilions, rockery and ponds in the garden are

There is everything you need. Although some of the valuable rockery stones were taken outside and sold by Zhou Zhong, which opened up the view in the garden a lot, most of them are still winding and deep. It is really difficult to find someone hiding here.

Zhou Chong was worried that Zhuo'er couldn't think about it and would do something stupid. After all, for a girl from the Ming Dynasty to break off the engagement, it was no different from being divorced. In later generations, some little girls might commit suicide because they didn't finish their homework.

Although my son matured prematurely, he probably couldn't bear this kind of blow.

It is precisely because of this that after Zhou Zhong ran to the back garden, he immediately started looking for the bracelet in the garden like crazy, especially some more 'dangerous' places such as ponds and bushes, which were the focus of his search. In the end

He searched almost the entire garden, and finally found her on the swing behind some rocks. However, Huo'er was lying on the swing and sobbing softly at this time, and had no idea about Zhou Chong's arrival.

Seeing this familiar yet unfamiliar sister in front of him, Zhou Zhong, who was out of breath, was also very heartbroken. Zhou Zhong was a bookworm before. In his heart, there was nothing worthy of his attention except reading. Naturally, he had no interest in his two sisters.

Not caring much makes the relationship between brother and sister somewhat cold.

But when Zhou Zhong woke up from a coma, the first thing he saw was Zhuo'er's crying little face. Even when Zhou Zhong knew that he had traveled through time, he thought that Zhuo'er was his maid or something.

Child brides and the like, it was not until later that I realized that they were happy for nothing.

In his previous life, Zhou Zhong's parents died young and he had no relatives at home, which made him particularly eager for family affection. Therefore, after time travel, Zhou Zhong also paid special attention to the relatives around him, especially his two lovely sisters.

It can be said that he is doting. Although Zhou Zhong's huge change made people in the Zhou family feel strange, at least in Zhuo'er's view, this brother is now much better than the cold brother before, so in a short period of time

Within a few days, Zhou Zhong reestablished his brother's position in Zhuo'er's heart, and the relationship between the two brothers naturally became very close.

I saw Zhou Zhong finally calmed down his violent breathing, and then walked over gently, deliberately saying in a joking tone: "Hey~, why is our Miss Zhou crying again? Last time I was sick,

Who promised me never to cry again?"

Although the relationship between Zhou Zhong and Zhuo'er was cold before, they were brothers and sisters after all. When Zhou was seriously ill and in a coma, Zhuo'er couldn't help crying every time she saw him. Later Zhou Zhong regained consciousness and

The distance between the two became much closer, and Zhou Zhong also made a bet with Zhuo'er that as long as she stopped crying, his illness would get better. Zhuo'er didn't believe it at first, but in order to make his brother happy, he decided to

She agreed and tried not to cry when she saw him next time. Unexpectedly, Zhou Zhong's health actually improved. This made Zhuo'er surprised and happy, and she swore she would never cry again.

However, Zhuo'er's vow obviously failed to come true. Not long after Zhou Zhong's illness improved, first his father Zhou Hai died, and now he encountered the Song family's divorce. How could Zhuo'er not be sad and shed tears?

Zhuo'er, who was crying, heard Zhou Zhong's voice. Not only did he not stop crying, but he cried even harder. This made Zhou Zhong a little strange. He immediately stepped forward to hold Zhuo'er's shoulders, but unexpectedly, Zhuo'er was beaten by Zhuo'er.

He threw it away angrily.

This time Zhou Zhong was really strange, because he could feel from these actions that Zhuo'er's anger seemed to be directed at him? This made Zhou Zhong a little confused, so he had to ask again: "What's wrong, is it brother?"

How have you offended our bracelet? How about I apologize to you?"

Hearing the words, Huo'er, who had been leaning on the swing, finally reacted. She raised her little face full of tears and glared at Zhou Zhong. She wiped the tears randomly with her white and tender hands and said with full of grievance:

"How can the elder brother be wrong? The so-called eldest brother is the father. Since the death of my father, the elder brother has been the head of our Zhou family. Even if the bracelet is sold for two hundred taels of silver, the bracelet will not have any complaints.

, let alone just a marriage?”

After hearing Zhuo'er's complaint, Zhou Zhong came to his senses and thought that men and women really think differently. Zhuo'er was actually angry with him because of this. However, if he put himself in Zhuo'er's shoes, Zhou Zhong could understand.

Bracelet's mood.

Thinking of this, Zhou Zhong squatted down and looked at Zhuo'er who was sitting on the swing. Then he said with a serious face: "Zhuo'er, I want to apologize to you first! But the Song family's father and son are very different.

You have also seen that something happened in our family just now, and they turned against each other. How can such a villain be worthy of our family's bracelet? So even if they don't break off the engagement today, my eldest brother will treat you like this another day.

The marriage is cancelled, but eldest brother is here to assure you that when our three-year mourning period is over, eldest brother will definitely restore the prestige of our Zhou family. At that time, the young talents who want to marry our family's bracelets will probably have to line up from Songjiang Prefecture to Jinling

Go to the city!"

Zhuo'er was precocious and sensible. In fact, she also knew that Zhou Zhong broke off the engagement for her own good. It was just because Zhou Zhong used his marriage certificate to exchange for a debt of two hundred taels, so she couldn't think about it for a while.

But now she heard Zhou Zhong's apology personally and knew that he broke off the engagement for her own sake, which made Zhuo'er's anger disappear. Then when she heard about her brother's ambition to revive the Zhou family's prestige, Zhuo'er couldn't help but

She was happy in her heart, but then she heard what Zhou Zhong said about the queue of people seeking marriage in Jinling, Nanjing, which made her feel ashamed and angry. She couldn't help but spat at Zhou Zhong, and turned to the side with a blush on her face, but there was a hint of shyness in the corner of her mouth.

smile.

Seeing that Zhuo'er's anger had subsided, Zhou Zhong tried to persuade him while the iron was hot for a while, and finally said solemnly: "Zhuo'er, people like Song and his son are not worthy of your sorrow at all. In this cold weather,

, Go back to the room and wash your face, don't get sick from the cold again. Besides, you see how exhausted my aunt has been these days. Now our debt is almost going to be paid off, so you should spend more time with your aunt. Don't let her go.

She’s exhausted!”

Hearing Zhou Zhong mention her mother, Zhuo'er nodded very sensibly, then stood up and prepared to go back to the room. However, she had just taken two steps out, but suddenly stopped and frowned: "Brother, as the saying goes,

A gentleman loves money and gets it in the right way. Although the Song family and his son are hateful, you threatened with a marriage certificate and then exchanged it for the IOU in the other party's hand. This does not seem to be what a gentleman did. If the Song family and his son spread this matter, I'm afraid

It will damage my brother’s reputation.”

When Zhuo'er said this, there was an uneasy expression on his face. As the saying goes, there is order in order of superiority and inferiority. As a younger sister, Zhuo'er accuses her brother. Even if it is out of good intentions, she may still get scolded.

However, Zhou Chong smiled after hearing this and said: "Thank you Zhuo'er for the reminder. I will pay attention to it for the brotherhood in the future. However, the Song family's decision to break off the engagement was originally in the wrong. I guess they don't dare to publicize it everywhere!"

Hearing Zhou Zhong's thoughtful consideration, Zhuo'er was relieved and turned back to the room to freshen up. Looking at the background of Zhuo'er leaving, Zhou Zhong silently muttered to himself: "Silly girl, you can't eat reputation.

You can’t drink it, but exchanging it for something real is already a profit, and as long as you have money and power, no matter what kind of reputation you had before, there will be people rushing to help you clear it!"

Watching Zhuo'er leave, Zhou Zhong sighed softly, and then turned around to go back. But what he didn't expect was that as soon as Zhou Zhong turned around, he suddenly found a big white and fat face approaching him. This made Zhou Zhong

I was startled, thinking I had seen a ghost. I reflexively yelled and punched him with my fist.

As a result, there was only a scream of "Ouch", and then a ball-like body rolled out. Only then did Zhou Zhong realize that the person standing behind him was actually the fat Butler Xu, and that he was punched by him

Regarding my eyes, I am covering my eyes and screaming.

Seeing this, Zhou Zhong hurriedly rushed forward to help the other party up, and then said helplessly: "I said Butler Xu, why do you always walk silently, and you are so close to me, it's lucky that it's me,

If I were a timid person, I would have been scared to death by you!"

"Retribution, retribution, just now the old slave told the eldest lady about breaking off the engagement with a bad mouth, and now he has been punched by the young master. He is indeed a god with his head raised!" Butler Xu stood up with Zhou Zhong's help, and said

He kept nagging about retribution.

After finally getting the ranting Butler Xu to stop nagging, Zhou Zhong realized that the punch he just punched was instinctive and he didn't hold back at all, so Butler Xu now has one black eye, matching his fair and fat face.

, it looked indescribably funny. After questioning, Zhou Zhong finally understood that it turned out that Butler Xu came to see him just now and he was thinking about something, so Butler Xu called him several times but he didn't answer.

The butler just stepped forward, and the misunderstanding just happened.

Hearing Butler Xu's explanation, Zhou Zhong was a little embarrassed, but it was just a misunderstanding, and Zhou Zhong took a closer look. Butler Xu had a big and thick face, so the punch was nothing. He would just wait for a few days for the congestion to dissipate.

Already.

Butler Xu blinked a few times and found that his vision was not affected. Then he suddenly remembered the reason for coming to Zhouzhong. He said anxiously: "Master, you sold the last valuable rockery stone in our house to pay off the debt."
