On the first day of returning home, Zhang Tie and his brother, as well as his father, went to Jinhai City to visit his old man, this visit was originally the third day that Zhang Tie returned home, because on the third day, Zhang Tie was suddenly called by the people of Zongrentang, so it was delayed until today.
As the saying goes, no one asks about the poor in the downtown area, and the rich have distant relatives in the mountains, in the past few years when Zhang Tie left home, as the strength of the Jinwu Trading Company has become stronger day by day, Zhang Tie's family and his family have been much better.
The family is prosperous, the two sons are successful, the parents are less restrained and more calm, and the exchanges between the uncles and aunts in the old man's other rooms are more calm and generous, and the relationship between the family is more harmonious.
In the past few years since Zhang Tie's disappearance, the old man has often asked about Zhang Tie, and he has also sent people to the Norman Empire to inquire about Zhang Tie's whereabouts, so Zhang Tie should come to visit him no matter what.
This time I went to the old mansion of the Zhang family, although people did not see it as much as when Zhang Tie came last time, but the atmosphere in the old mansion gave Zhang Tie a much better feeling, not to mention the Zhang family living in the old mansion, that is, the servants and servants in the old mansion, the smiles on their faces when they saw Zhang Tie's father and son were also a little more sincere.
Even the old lady of the old man's long house, when she saw Zhang Tie this time, she was like seeing her own grandson, she took Zhang Tie's hand and talked for a long time, and she no longer had a half-condescending attitude, and she still cared about Zhang Tie's marriage.
In terms of human warmth, it may be a bit excessive, because even if the Zhang family just returned to Huaiyuan County a few years ago, these people in the Zhang family's old mansion still took some care of Zhang Tie and his family, even if someone had any ideas, no one would show it on their faces, everyone was okay with their faces, and maintained a polite and polite dignity of family reunion.
But that decency is decent after all, there are some real things missing, people are realistic animals, even if it is between a big family, it can maintain the honor of this big family, have greater energy, and at the critical time, it will make more people feel that they can rely on and useful people, and they can always get more respect and smiles, in the same way, Zhang Tie's family at this time also maintains the dignity of a family reunion and harmony, some things, in the past, it is over, there is no need to take it to heart, if there is something at home, The person who can rest assured and feel that he can rely on some is actually the old man's family, after all, everyone's blood relationship is there, and some things are decided.
The two uncles' families on Zhang Tie's father's side have people helping the elder brother in the Jinwu Trading Company, and I feel that in the past few years, in the words of the elder brother, in some things, people who are indeed related by blood are different.
The big family of Huaiyuantang is really too big for Zhang Tie, and the joint entanglements are too complicated, so what really gives Zhang Tie's family a feeling is the many relatives on the old man's side.
Zhang Tie and the others came during the day, and there was no need to notify them before they came, so when they came, the only people who could talk to the father and son at the old mansion were the old man and the old man's wives.
After having a meal in the Zhang family's mansion, the old man took a few people to a quiet pavilion in the back garden to chat.
This pavilion is surrounded by osmanthus flowers, and the place is quiet, but it is a good place to enjoy the coolness.
Zhang Tie's father told the old man about the family's preparation to move to the Eastern Continent in recent months, which is also one of the purposes of Zhang Tie and their coming to the old man today.
After listening to Zhang Tie's father's words, the old man closed his eyes slightly for a while, and then opened them, "That's fine, this Weiyi subcontinent is a foreign land, not as prosperous and stable as the Eastern Continent, the family should find a way out, last year I have asked Jiao Zesheng to take a few juniors to the Eastern Continent first, it is considered to pave the way for the family first, after you arrive in the Eastern Continent, you can contact Zesheng first, so that someone can take care of you, when you leave, I will give you Zesheng's address, Zesheng is now in Yingzhou, one of the seventy-two continents of Taixia, Huaiyuan Hall has been operating in Yingzhou many years ago, and now there is a city called Huaiyuan City, and the children and grandchildren of the family can go to Huaiyuan City to avoid trouble. ” Zesheng is a son of the old man, and also a half-brother of Zhang Tie's father, speaking of which is also Zhang Tie's uncle, I met him when I came last time, and the impression was not too deep.
Zhang Yang was also very surprised, he didn't hide it, but asked his own question directly, "Ah, I didn't expect Huaiyuan Heaven to actually have a city in the Eastern Continent."
"Huaiyuantang was originally a lineage of Taixia Zhang, what is so strange about running a city in the Eastern Continent, but it is inevitable that people's hearts will fluctuate, this news is generally not publicized to the outside world, so ordinary people don't know, not only Huaiyuantang, the rest of the wealthy families in Jinyun Country, also operate a piece of territory in the Eastern Continent, the Oriental Continent is where the foundation of the major giants is located, and it is also the holy land of my Chinese people, everything here, for Huaiyuantang, is just the branches and leaves that absorb the sunshine and rain, this holy war is coming, the autumn breeze is rising, Fallen leaves always have to go back to the roots.
The old man said with a sigh, as if there was a pun.
Listening to the old man talk about the return of fallen leaves to the roots, Zhang Tie and his son didn't know how to interface, but the old man didn't care, looked at Zhang Tie, and smiled, "Life and death have their own destiny, I will die in the future, that is sure to let people bring my ashes back to the Eastern Continent for burial, as a Chinese, it can be regarded as a fallen leaf to return to the roots, I have been running a shipyard all my life, running around for businessmen all day long, and there is no achievement in cultivation, Shouyuan is only about 100 years old, I am over 70 years old this year, and I only have twenty or thirty years of life.
Over the years, I can see you and your cousin have entered Qianlong Hall, and each will have something to do in the future, our Zhang family is also thriving, with the atmosphere of a big family, it is not known whether to build an ancestral hall in the future, where there are any regrets. ” Listening to the old man talk about the matter of Qianlong Hall, Zhang Tie suddenly became a little embarrassed, and thought about it, the old man will know about this matter sooner or later, rather than letting him know such news from other people's mouths, it is better to know it from his own mouth, "Well, I am no longer from Qianlong Hall yesterday."
The old man asked with a slight emotion, "What's the matter?"
Zhang Tie simply explained the matter, he only said that he had awakened a kind of ancestral bloodline, but he did not say the specific ability of this ancestral bloodline, the family wanted to arrange for him to leave the Weiyi subcontinent, but he could not obey the family's arrangement for some reasons, and the differences between the two sides could not be reconciled, and finally broke up.
In the middle, in fact, the elders of Huaiyuan Hall have already considered Zhang Tie very thoughtfully, even if Zhang Tie wants to stay in the Weiyi Subcontinent for some reason, the family will send a master to follow him to protect his safety, and when he is done, that person will directly escort him back to the Eastern Continent, but this suggestion was finally rejected by Zhang Tie with gritted teeth.
Once the family sends a master to follow him, Zhang Tie knows that he is really going to show up, the person who is confident that he can take away after the complete fall of the Weiyi subcontinent, there is no doubt that his level is definitely much higher than his own, it is very likely that he is a war demon under the knight or even a fierce man at the level of a war spirit, in front of such a fierce man, where does he have room to play tricks, it is estimated that he will be under the protection of that person twenty-four hours a day, in such a state, It was impossible for him to have a chance to disappear in front of that person and enter the Black Iron Castle to eat the fruit, which was a huge obstacle for him, and it was simply blocking his cultivation path.
And later, once he returns to the Ice and Snow Wasteland, many of his secrets will be instantly exposed to the eyes of these big people in Huaiyuan Hall through that person, the things he did in the Ice and Snow Wasteland, the abilities he showed, the so-called miracles, those strange seeds, how to explain it will only make him fall into a bigger quagmire.
Zhang Tie didn't want to show his secret unreservedly in front of so many people in Huaiyuantang.
Therefore, Zhang Tie's unreasonable stubbornness finally angered several elders of Huaiyuan Hall After listening to Zhang Tie's words, the old man did not act as disappointed as Zhang Tie imagined, he just looked at Zhang Tie with a strange eye, and after a long time, he seemed to smile a little indifferently, "Expelled from Qianlong Hall, expel Qianlong Hall, anyway, there are more Zhang family members in Huaiyuan County who are not Qianlong Tang, the bigger the family, the more rules, but sometimes, this big family will also be more utilitarian than you imagine, as long as you have the ability, and your ability can be so big that people have to face it, or even look up, Those so-called family rules are not as good as a few pieces of straw paper, what rules, if you don't like it, you can change it, even if you crumple it up and throw it in the toilet, there will be a lot of people cheering for you, so you don't have to take this matter to heart."
The old man comforted Zhang Tie a few words, the old man's words full of wisdom and insight into the world made Zhang Tie's heart shocked, Zhang Tie thought of Lan Yunxi, and suddenly seemed to understand, yes, if he had his own master's ability to refine demons now, he was an extremely powerful alchemy master, and he became a knight, and he mastered the power of Samadhi that the master said, and he wanted to marry Lan Yunxi, who dared to jump out in Huaiyuantang and say that he was not worthy These so-called problems and obstacles, in the final analysis, are only a matter of ability and strength.
Zhang Tie's heart suddenly brightened After chatting with the old man in the gazebo, Zhang Tie's family left, the old man drank tea leisurely in the pavilion alone, and the old lady of the long room with a graceful face personally brought a plate of fruit to the old man, and then sat next to the old man and fanned the old man.
From the corners of the old man's eyebrows and eyes, the old lady seemed to feel that the old man was very happy today, and her mind became lively.
"It's okay if this Zhang Tie is fine, I think he's twenty today, it seems that it's time to talk about a family matter, Liangying, this kid, you have seen, last time his father brought him to the house once, and it can be regarded as one of my granddaughters, beautiful and virtuous, you see if the two of them are suitable together, if it is to be done, it can be regarded as kissing and kissing."
The old man glanced at Mrs.
Changfang and smiled, "You don't have to worry about Zhang Tie's affairs, he has his own ideas, you can't worry about it."
The old lady also laughed, "Okay, then don't worry about it, but when I saw Zhang Tie again today, I found that this kid seemed to be a little different from the last time I saw him, you see how Su'er and Zhang Tie compare." ” "Su'er is stable and courageous, he has exercised in Qianlong Hall, and he has the ability to make connections, as the eldest son and eldest grandson of the family, it will not be a problem to inherit this family business in the future, or go further" The old man touched his beard and said with a smile.
Hearing the old man's evaluation of his own grandson, the old lady smiled with satisfaction, "What about the iron?"
"Zhang Tie" The old man paused, and his face turned serious to look at Mrs.
Changfang, "This son will be the pillar of optimus of my Zhang family in the future, after a hundred years, if the Zhang family has the ability to build an ancestral hall and seal the hall, then it can only fall on him."
The old man's words surprised the old lady, she didn't expect that the old man would give Zhang Tie such a high evaluation and affirmation, "Ah, how could it be" "Zhang Tie was expelled from the Qianlong Hall by the family elders yesterday," the old man said indifferently.
"Then you still have such an evaluation of him" The old lady didn't seem to figure it out at once, the grandson who became famous in the Qianlong Hall was evaluated by the old man, but she didn't expect that a person who was expelled from the Qianlong Hall could actually get such an evaluation from the old man.
The old man didn't explain, there are some things, the knowledge of these women in the family may not be able to understand, he just looked at the old lady, "I won't say the specifics, but you remember, Su'er and Zhang Tie are cousins, and in the future, the two brothers and sisters will be a blessing to Su'er and this Zhang family, this little foundation of the Galaxy Shipyard will stay in the old house, Zhang Ping's two sons have no interest in this foundation, as the elders of the family, you have to take this family thing together, you can live, the family and everything is prosperous, understand?"
In front of the old man's unequivocal majesty, the old lady also bowed her head respectfully, "As soon as the old man said this, the concubine understood." ” "Well, you go and rest, I want to sit here alone" The old lady left The old man sat in the gazebo, drinking tea, looking at the tall osmanthus trees around the pavilion shaking their branches and leaves in the wind, and fell into contemplation, the entire Huaiyuan Hall, in the past few hundred years, there is hardly a young man who dares to say no to several family elders at the age of twenty, he dare not be as old as Zhang Tie, his son does not dare when he is that age, and his eldest grandson does not dare, but Zhang Tie dare.
Being valued by the family naturally has a reason to be valued by the family, and if you dare to refuse this weight, you must have the confidence and responsibility to dare to refuse, and the confidence and responsibility are concentrated on one person.
In the future, among his children and grandchildren, can there really be a person who can make the cause of building an ancestral hall In the courtyard of the Zhang family, in Zhang Tie's generation, it seems that a laurel tree with glory will really grow a laurel branch that honors the ancestors :
