Chapter 372 The Fight Begins
Hearing that Ding Xiaoqiu and Liang Zhou had actually started fighting, Ding Wangyuan was shocked and hurried to the door to check.
Zhu Lan and Zhu Qingyan followed closely behind.
"Mr. Liang, don't think that just because you are the son of the emperor's uncle, you can bully others by taking advantage of your power!"
Outside the door, Ding Xiaoqiu looked like he had just been pushed to the ground, pointing at Liang Zhou and cursing.
Liang Zhou looked at him nonchalantly with his arms folded, a sarcastic smile on the corner of his mouth.
"I am a relative of the emperor. I came to Yunzhou to relax and stay at your prefectural government office. I am giving you two face."
Liang Zhou said, and took out a heavy silver ingot from his sleeve, threw it in front of Ding Xiaoqiu, and said in a tone of alms:
"Hey, did you see that? Don't say I'm eating and living for free.
Let me tell you, when I come to Yunzhou City, I can go wherever I want and play with whoever I want.
Is it your turn to take care of me?"
Ding Wangyuan and others who walked out of the door were all stunned when they saw this scene.
Ding Wangyuan opened his mouth and looked at Liang Zhou in surprise.
This Young Master Liang has always had a good relationship with Xiao Qiu. Although he seems a bit unruly on weekdays, he is a good person and is always very polite when he sees me.
How could he suddenly become like this, speaking so harshly to Xiao Qiu?
A trace of confusion flashed across Zhu Lan's face, but he was wondering in his heart why Liang Zhou did this.
Liang Zhou glanced at the people around him with disdain and sneered, "I was a little dissatisfied with your place because it's run-down, but since you guys don't like me so much, I'm going to stay here. What's the matter?"
"I'm telling you, if you serve me well, I'll be in a good mood and say a few good words for you when I return to Beijing."
"If I were to be like him again today, so ungrateful, hmph."
Liang Zhou said the last sentence while pointing at Ding Xiaoqiu, and his tone was like that of a bully who domineeringly bullies others.
When that provocative look swept across Zhu Lan's face, he was surprised for a moment, and then suddenly blinked twice.
Before Ding Wangyuan realized what was going on, Zhu Lan stepped forward and said:
"You are a royal relative, so we dare not neglect you. Calm down, we have prepared a banquet in the mansion."
As he spoke, he looked at Ding Xiaoqiu lying on the ground and urged, "Mr. Ding, why don't you quickly invite Mr. Liang back to the mansion? There are so many people coming and going on this road, don't let them see you and make fun of you."
Ding Xiaoqiu stiffened his neck, snorted, and turned away.
In the end, it was Zhu Lan who nudged Ding Wangyuan, and the latter invited Liang Zhou into the mansion. Ding Xiaoqiu followed with an unhappy look on his face.
…
The few of them returned to the hall in the inner courtyard. There were no servants present. Only Ding Wangyuan, Zhu Lan and Liang Zhou were left.
Liang Zhou just slammed the door with an unhappy look on his face, and the next moment he leaned against the door with his back, and laughed at Ding Xiaoqiu with a "chuckle".
Ding Xiaoqiu also laughed, not at all like the bullied person he was just now.
Liang Zhou stepped forward and pulled Ding Xiaoqiu, "Did you not fall just now?"
"It's okay, it's okay!" Ding Xiaoqiu patted the dirt off his butt, with an expression on his face waiting to be praised.
"How was it, Senior Brother Liang Zhou, did I act like one just now?"
Liang Zhou gave him a thumbs up in approval.
"You guys..." Ding Wangyuan was completely confused by the scene before him.
What is going on?
Ding Xiaoqiu laughed, "That was all performed for the people in the Ning'an Marquis's Mansion!"
Ding Wangyuanwen raised his eyebrows in surprise when he heard this.
How dare these two little ancestors provoke the people from the Ning'an Marquis's Mansion! ?
"Dad, you don't know, Senior Brother Liang Zhou is simply amazing!" Ding Xiaoqiu helped Ding Wangyuan sit down and talked about what happened today with a beaming look on his face.
When going out today, Liang Zhou deliberately did not let Ding Xiaoqiu walk with him. The two of them came to Lan Yifang in Yunzhou City, one after the other.
That is the favorite place for young men in Yunzhou City to play.
It is also the largest den of gold consumption in the entire Yunzhou City.
"Dad, don't look at me like that... This is really my first time there!" Ding Xiaoqiu met Ding Wangyuan's gaze and hurriedly explained.
"And it's not what you imagined, nor is it a Qinlou or Chuguan. It just has a lot of games... Senior Brother Liang Zhou knows how to play them, and he even taught me how to play them!"
Liang Zhou choked on his tea.
"Ahem... Hey, this is my first time there too. We're all there for the show, don't make it sound like I'm a regular."
Ding Xiaoqiu didn't believe it. "When you went in, you looked like a rich young man returning home. How could it be acting?"
Liang Zhou: “?”
Ding Xiaoqiu continued, "Gongsun Yushu was also inside, sitting with a few young masters, playing something... called mahjong or something."
"Brother Liang Zhou joined in without saying a word, and the killing was so fierce that all those young masters were stunned!"
"Wait, wait." Liang Zhou interrupted him, "You were so far away at the time, how could you know that I won so badly?"
Ding Xiaoqiu glared, "Do you even need to ask?"
"When you came out, you were arm in arm with Gongsun Yushu, and the other people kept calling you 'Brother Liang'.
If you didn't win, how could they adore you so much?"
"Well, I win." Liang Zhou said lazily, leaning back in his chair.
After all, it was he who brought mahjong into this era.
"Then Gongsun Yushu lost three sets of landscape gardens to me."
Ding Xiaoqiu and his son took a deep breath.
"But I didn't want it. I gave it all back to them."
"I am sincere in making friends with the young master. I have to be sincere, right?"
Liang Zhou was tossing a dice in his hand, speaking in a nonchalant tone.
Ding Wangyuan finally reacted, slapped his thigh, and said regretfully:
"Oh! Then how can you come back to me?
The Ning An Marquis's Mansion and I have always been at odds. If they discover your relationship with us and become suspicious of you, wouldn't that mean our efforts would be in vain?"
"I only said that he is the son of the king's uncle. It is reasonable for the royal relatives to come to Yunzhou and be received by the Yunzhou government." Liang Zhou said slowly.
"But Gongsun Yushu is not a fool, and he won't believe everything I say. On the way back just now, he must have sent someone to follow me to find out my background.
That’s why Xiao Ding and I played along and staged that scene at the door.”
"So that's how it is..." Ding Wangyuan murmured.
As a result, Liang Zhou was seen by outsiders as an arrogant and domineering aristocratic playboy who deliberately made things difficult for his father and son.
Only in this way can you reduce the other party's vigilance.
"So..." Liang Zhou's gaze moved between Zhu Lan and Zhu Qingyan.
"Why are you guys coming to Yunzhou?"
