After a two-day long journey, Zhang Yan, Mi Zhen, and Xu Sheng finally arrived in Tancheng.

The closer you get to Tancheng, the more lively it becomes.

On the outskirts of Tancheng, the roads are longitudinal and horizontal, the canals are flowing everywhere, and there are fertile fields everywhere.

In addition, the official road is full of pedestrians, businessmen, and the ranks of merchants passing by Zhang Yan are numerous, compared with the desolate scene in Pengcheng, it is simply a world of difference.

Zhang Yan saw it in his eyes, but he remembered in his heart that one day, he would develop Pengcheng better than Tancheng.

As soon as she arrived in Tancheng, Mi Zhen acted as a guide for Zhang Yan and Xu Sheng, she has been living here since she was a child, and she is already familiar with everything here.

"Tancheng is ahead! It won't be long before I'll be home! Mi Zhen couldn't suppress the joy in her heart, and pointed to the majestic and huge city not far ahead.

Zhang Yan looked at Tancheng and saw the flags fluttering on the city tower, two rows of soldiers standing neatly on both sides of the city gate, pedestrians and merchants all entered the city, which seemed to be very orderly. The main road in the city was even more crowded, with shops on both sides of the road, and there was an endless stream of people of all kinds, and he seemed to be able to hear the noise of the city.

He still rides the same horse with Mi Zhen, Mi Zhen is still dressed as a man, and she looks beautiful, which attracts the attention of many women on the side of the road.

Gradually approaching Tancheng, the noise in the city followed, and the closer it became, the more noisy it became.

Under Mi Zhen's guidance, Zhang Yan drove his horse on the main road, because there were many pedestrians and the speed was very slow, Zhang Yan simply admired the shops in the city to see if there was anything he needed.

Xu Sheng, who was traveling with Zhang Yan, was particularly excited, because most of the missions he usually carried out were assassination missions, so he basically acted at night. After the task was completed, he immediately rushed back to the Futu Temple to resume his life, and he didn't stay in the city at all, so it was difficult to have the opportunity to see such a lively scene.

Mi Zhen noticed that Zhang Yan and Xu Sheng's eyes were attracted by the prosperity in the city, and said disdainfully: "Two hillbillies! What's there to see! Turn left ahead! ”

When Zhang Yan heard this, he didn't pay attention to Mi Zhen, tugged on the reins of the horse, and turned to a road on the left. Xu Sheng followed.

"How far is your house?" Zhang Yan asked.

Mi Zhen raised her hand, pointed to the end of the road, and said to Zhang Yan, "Do you see it?" That's my home! ”

Zhang Yan looked in the direction pointed by Mi Zhen, and suddenly saw a magnificent courtyard, the courtyard sits in the north and faces south, the gate is facing the road where he is now, the courtyard wall is three meters high, and a row of pine and cypress is planted outside the wall, covered by winter snow, wrapped in a layer of silver.

"The mansion of the richest man in Xuzhou is really extraordinary!" After Zhang Yan saw it, he sighed.

"How? Surprised, I didn't expect my house to be that big, right? Mi Zhen showed off.

Zhang Yan lives in modern times, what kind of things have not been seen, no matter how big Mi Zhu's mansion is, it can be bigger than the Forbidden City?

However, Mi Zhu's financial resources are indeed abundant, and the entire mansion actually occupies a quarter of Tancheng.

As soon as he thought that Mi Zhen, who was sitting in front of him, would become his wife sooner or later, a faint smile appeared on his face.

Mi Zhen saw that Zhang Yan didn't speak, and as soon as she turned her face, she saw a smile on Zhang Yan's face, and she asked puzzledly, "What are you laughing at?" ”

"Nothing."

"No, you're laughing so insidiously, are you laughing at me? Do you think my home isn't big enough? Mi Zhen pouted and asked.

"How dare I laugh at Miss Mi......"

"Since you're not laughing at me, tell me, what the hell were you laughing at?"

"It's really nothing, why don't you believe it? I am...... I was excited, because I had grown so big, and it was the first time I had seen such a magnificent and majestic courtyard......"

"Really?"

"It's true, of course!"

After Mi Zhen heard this, she was comforted in her heart, turned her head, and stopped arguing with Zhang Yan.

A group of three people soon came to the door of Mi Mansion, Zhang Yan jumped off the horse first, and then reached out to hug Mi Zhen down.

"No!" Mi Zhen lifted her leg and jumped off the horse.

She walked straight to the gate of Mifu, and the family guarding the door saw it and immediately came up to stop her: "What are you doing?" ”

"Bastard, blind your dog's eyes, you don't even know me!" Mi Zhen scolded at the family and covered her face.

The two family members took a closer look, and then they saw clearly that this was the eldest lady back!

The two housekeepers immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy: "It turned out that the eldest lady came back, the eldest lady was dressed like this, and the little one was blind, and she almost didn't recognize it, and I ask the eldest lady to forgive me!" ”

"The death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime is unforgivable, go to the housekeeper and get twenty boards each!" Mi Zhen said and walked towards Mi Mansion, but scared the two family members so that they collapsed on the ground.

Zhang Yan saw that the family in his womb was a little jealous of Mi Zhen, and Mi Zhen had such a personality, so he must not be a fuel-efficient lamp. As soon as he remembered that he was going to become the aunt of the Mi family in the future, he should start by winning people's hearts.

So, he stepped over with an arrow step, grabbed Mi Zhen's arm, and said euphemistically: "Miss Mi, the family is used to seeing your usual women's clothes, and you suddenly changed into men's clothes and came back, no matter who you are, you will definitely not recognize you for a while." They didn't make any big mistakes, and you beat them to 20 boards, isn't it a little too arrogant? ”

"What do you say? Am I arrogant? Am I arrogant? Well, I'll show you the brutality! Go to the steward, both of you, and receive fifty boards each. Mi Zhen said angrily.

As soon as the words fell, Mi Zhen turned the gun and shouted directly at Zhang Yan: "The surname is Zhang, let me tell you, this is my house, not your mansion, you are not qualified to talk nonsense here, what I want, just do it, can you control it?" ”

Mi Zhen shook off Zhang Yan's hand vigorously, walked towards the mansion angrily, and shouted angrily at the mansion: "Where are all the people dying, why can't you even see a panting?" ”

"The eldest lady is back! The eldest lady is back! The eldest lady is back......"

There was a shout in the house immediately, and when the housekeepers and maidservants who were doing things heard the news, they almost all had the same thought: their good days were finally over!

When it comes to Miss Mi, no one in the entire Tancheng knows about it, and no one knows it.

Any man who sees Miss Mi for the first time will be fascinated by her fairy-like beauty.

Therefore, there is really an endless stream of people who come to Mifu to propose relatives, including many princes and nobles. But Miss Mi has a hot temper and a perverse personality, and all the men who have met her are defeated because they can't stand her temper.

Gradually, there are fewer people who come to Mifu to propose marriage. So until now, Miss Mi is still in the boudoir.

The eldest lady came back, and the originally peaceful Mifu was boiling, and the housekeepers and maidservants rushed to the gate of the Mifu from all directions.

The housekeeper Mi Qiang ran out of the house with some trepidation, and saw Mi Zhen dressed as a man, with a full face of anger, and trotted all the way to Mi Zhen's side, bowed his head and sneered: "Miss, why are you dressed like this?" Looking at the angry look on your face, who is so bold that you dare to provoke the eldest lady? ”

"Who else, just the two of them!" Mi Zhen turned around and raised her hand to Zhang Yan and Xu Sheng.

Mi Qiang is about fifty years old, although he is dying, but the young Yu Wei is still there, plus he has learned a good swordsmanship, and he serves as a housekeeper and part-time security team captain in Mi Mansion.

He took two steps towards the door, straightened his waist, pointed at Zhang Yan and said, "Where did the disciple come from, and he dared to come here to spread wild?" Dare to provoke our eldest lady, she is impatient! Come on, give me a stick! ”

"Whoa!"

At the sound of an order, more than a dozen family members in Mi Mansion picked up the wooden sticks erected by the wall, rushed towards Zhang Yan, and beat them with sticks!

"Be careful, master!"

Without waiting for Zhang Yan to make a move, Xu Sheng's figure, who had been standing behind Zhang Yan, flickered, and blocked in front of Zhang Yan, stretched out his two long arms, and directly grabbed the wooden sticks waved by those familymen, and directly clamped them under his armpits, no matter how hard those family members tried, they couldn't pull it out.

"Don't hurt anyone!" Zhang Yan's face did not change, he stood there quietly, squirmed his lips, and said to Xu Sheng.

"Whoa!"

Xu Sheng got the order, the green tendons on his arms burst out, and he used brute force to push the wooden stick forward, and the dozen or so family members felt a huge push at the same time, and one did not stand firmly, and fell backwards one after another, staggering.

"A bunch of rubbish!" Mi Zhen saw that so many family members couldn't beat Xu Sheng alone, so she couldn't help but scold.

When Mi Qiang heard it, he coughed lightly twice, waved his hand to the family and said, "All retreat!" ”

More than a dozen family members got up from the ground one after another, making way for Mi Qiang.

Seeing this, Zhang Yan hurriedly said: "Miss Mi, have you played enough, I didn't come here to play with you." ”

After speaking, he said to the housekeeper Mi Qiang: "This old man, please go in and inform your master, just say that Peng Chengxiang and Wuwei Captain Zhang Yan are coming to visit!" ”

When Mi Qiang heard the word Zhang Yan, he was immediately a little surprised, because Zhang Yan was not wearing an official uniform or armor, but he was good at accidents, and he still saw that there must be an extraordinary relationship between Zhang Yan and the eldest lady.

He turned his head, pretended to be embarrassed, and asked, "Miss, what should I do?" ”

"What to do? What else can I do? Distinguished guests are coming, why don't you hurry up and invite me in! At this time, a man dressed in a robe with a beautiful face walked out of the mansion, and it was Mi Zhu, the owner of this mansion.

As soon as Mi Zhu appeared, everyone in Mi Mansion shouted "Adult" in unison, looking respectful. He walked directly to Mi Qiang's side and said sharply: "You are old and confused, the eldest lady is messing around, and you are also messing around with him?" ”

"My ......, my lord"

"Okay, don't say anything, take the eldest lady back to rest!"

"Whoa!"

Mi Qiang walked up to Mi Zhen and said in a low voice: "Miss, I'll send you back to the room to rest!" ”

Mi Zhen ignored Mi Qiang, walked straight to Mi Zhu's side, and asked, "Big brother, he bullied me, is that it?" ”

Mi Zhu's face was gloomy, and he slapped Mi Zhen with a shake of his hand, and shouted angrily: "Presumptuous! If you don't bully others, forget it, how dare others bully you? Go back to my room quickly, don't embarrass me here, what a system! ”

Mi Zhen covered her hot face, tears in her eyes instantly gushed out, she looked at Mi Zhu in confusion, and sobbed: "Big brother, from childhood to adulthood, you love me the most." My father died early, you brought me up, and I have always respected you the most. No matter what mistakes I made before, you would never hit me. But now you are beating me in front of so many people because of an outsider? ”

hit Mi Zhen's body, but the pain was in Mi Zhu's heart. Why does Mi Zhu want to beat her only sister, Mi Zhen has been very sensible since she was a child, and she also knows that she is considerate, and gentle and virtuous...... However, since the incident three years ago, Mi Zhen has changed, becoming short-tempered, perverse, and less and less obedient to him.

Now Mi Zhen is eighteen years old, and a girl as big as her, where is there anything to be written in the boudoir.

Her marriage is also the big problem that Mi Zhu cares about the most, but it can't be solved.

Mi Zhu has his thoughts, he wants his sister to have a good home, the entire Xuzhou famous family, or the gentry, the prince, he has visited, but when it comes to Mi Zhenlai, almost everyone's sons are discouraged.

Helpless, Mi Zhu had no choice but to leave Mi Zhen at home.

A few days ago, Mi Zhu met Zhang Yan in Pengcheng, and was very impressed by Zhang Yan.

Therefore, Mi Zhu waved his hand and gave Zhang Yan 5,000 gold. After returning to Fuzhong, he deliberately talked about how heroic Zhang Yan was and how heroic he was in front of Mi Zhen.

Mi Zhen's heart was overjoyed when she heard this, and it happened that Mi Zhu sent Mi Fang to transport gold to Pengcheng, so she quietly slipped out and blended into Mi Fang's team. She thought she was very smart, so she hid it from Mi Zhu and went out of Mi Mansion.

But Mi Zhen didn't know that all this was arranged by Mi Zhu in advance. Otherwise, Mi Zhen will be missing, and it will be impossible for Mi Zhu not to react.

However, later Mi Fang and Mi Zhen encountered robbers, which Mi Zhu did not expect. If it weren't for Zhang Yan sending someone to deliver the news, he wouldn't have known about it at all.

Later, Mi Zhu learned that Zhang Yan escorted Mi Zhen back to Tancheng, so he didn't worry about anything anymore.

It's just that what he never expected was that today, Zhang Yan suddenly came to visit, but his sister behaved so fiercely, he was afraid of scaring Zhang Yan, and in a fit of anger, he beat Mi Zhen.

Mi Zhen saw that Mi Zhu was indifferent, so she glanced at Zhang Yan fiercely and said angrily: "It's all because of you that my eldest brother beat me, I hate you!" I hate you to death! ”

After speaking, Mi Zhen pulled out her legs and ran away towards the house. The housekeeper Mi Qiang followed closely with a few maids, for fear that something would happen to Mi Zhen.

Mi Zhu saw Mi Zhen leaving, breathed a sigh of relief, walked in front of Zhang Yan, and arched his hand: "Sister She's not like this before, I spoiled her." Let Master Zhang smile. ”

"It doesn't matter! Miss Mi is talented and intelligent, and she looks like a fairy, which can be called a country and a city. As for the character...... Miss Mi has a hearty personality and a straightforward temper...... It's also a ...... of personality."

When Mi Zhu heard this, he blushed for a while, and said in his heart: "Isn't this talking nonsense with your eyes open?" My sister has such a short temper and such a perverse character, and he said it...... Don't...... Could it be that he has taken a fancy to his sister? ”
