Chapter 7: It Turned Out to Be Him
The courtyard is bustling with activity.
Guests aren't complaining about the delay in opening their tables, and who is here really for a meal?
Everyone watched Jiang Tianming and Zhou Yang stand at the entrance of the courtyard at the same time, and they all guessed in their hearts, is there anyone still coming?
And even Jiang Tianming stood outside to greet him, don't be bad again, he is a "big man" again.
Today, Zhou Yang has brought too many shocks to everyone.
No one would have imagined that this former abandoned son of the Zhou family would become the most important figure in the Zhou family.
It can be said that this Zhou family's annual meeting can have such a grand occasion, almost all of which is due to him.
Although everyone was talking and laughing, their eyes never left the two of them.
Those who originally looked down on Zhou Yang, just like the brothers and sisters of the Zhou family or the Ma family, no longer knew how to describe their inner turmoil at this time.
Zhou Tianlei suddenly felt a feeling of despair, could he still compete with such Zhou Yang? The funny thing is that even the father and son of the Lin family invited by Zhou Yiran had to nod their heads in the face of Zhou Yang.
He is not stupid, even if the Lin family's father and son don't say anything, he can guess that the other party can come to the Zhou family for Zhou Yang's face, but in fact, it has nothing to do with Zhou Yiran.
To put it mildly, she Zhou Yiran is just a news middleman.
Seating.
Although Ma Shennian, the head of the Ma family, sat calmly in his position, no one knew what he was thinking, but from his occasional frown, he could see the unusual fluctuations in his heart.
He has always thought that Zhou Yang and Jiang Tianming have a good relationship, even if he made concessions at the beginning, it was just so that everyone would not be so embarrassed on the surface.
He didn't have the idea of making some other plans, but through this Zhou family's annual meeting, he seemed to underestimate Zhou Yang's energy, and the other party was able to invite Old Man Jiang over.
As for those who came later, although he didn't know them, he had a feeling in his heart that none of these people were simple.
The Ma family's ability to become a big family in Nanzhou is definitely not only due to luck, but also inseparable from his strategy in the years of Ma Shen, and today's scene makes him have to re-evaluate some gains and losses.
Time passed quietly.
Within three minutes, everyone heard a roar outside the courtyard.
The guests who were sitting closer to the entrance of the courtyard heard the sound and stretched out their heads to see who was coming!
Zhou Yang stood in front of the courtyard gate, and saw the army-green jeep driving towards the Zhou family's ancestral house from a distance, and naturally saw the people in the car with his eyesight.
It turned out to be them!
How did they end up together?
Shocked, confused, moved, proud, so many complicated emotions surged into Zhou Yang's heart at once.
After guessing, Zhou Yang never thought that it would be Zhong Zhenxing and Bai Mufan!
What was shocking was that even though he was now the captain of the Dragon Tooth Special Combat Team, he never thought that Zhong Zhenxing, who was a lieutenant general of the Huaxia military, would personally come to cheer him on.
Since cultivating the truth, it is difficult for anything to make him so agitated, he has always only regarded his status as the captain of the dragon tooth as a transaction, exchanging his ability for his status.
But he never wanted to mix too much emotion, but at this moment, he found that he was really moved, and he knew what Zhong Zhenxing's appearance represented.
If the arrival of Old Man Jiang is the attitude of the Jiang family and the attitude of Nanzhou, it is his personal friendship.
And the appearance of Zhong Zhenxing represents the Chinese military!
Dare to ask the entire Nanzhou, how many people can get such an honor!
The car drove until the entrance of the ancestral house before stopping.
The two got out of the car.
Zhong Zhenxing was carrying two pots of old wine that were not even gifts, just as he was wearing a military uniform, and the golden branches and leaves on his shoulders and the two gold stars were shining in the light.
Bai Mufan is no different from in the martial arts conference, he still has the same unsmiling appearance, but after seeing Zhou Yang, it is rare to show a smile.
Zhou Yang was very puzzled, how did these two people come together, could it be that there is still a relationship that he doesn't know here?
"Uncle Zhong, Master Bai, if you are late, you will have to let Xiaoyang please have supper. Jiang Tianming half-jokingly stepped forward and greeted.
Perhaps Zhong Zhenxing, who was not used to the clammy and cold in the south, tightened his sleeves, "It's not to pick him up." Zhong Zhenxing looked at Bai Mufan speechlessly.
"Hmph. Bai Mufan turned his head directly, not bothering to pay attention to the other party's complaints.
"Instructor Zhong, Uncle Bai, please come inside. After adjusting his mood, Zhou Yang hurriedly stepped forward in joy and led the two into the courtyard.
The guests in the courtyard first saw Zhong Zhenxing walking into the courtyard, and they were all surprised, the person who came turned out to be an officer.
And those who participated in the Jiang family's birthday banquet immediately recognized Zhong Zhenxing's identity, the lieutenant general of the Huaxia military!
It's amazing, the Zhou family's annual meeting came to a lieutenant general of the Chinese military!
The originally noisy courtyard was suddenly a lot quieter, and everyone looked at Zhong Zhenxing with awe, just like Zhou Yang thought before.
Zhong Zhenxing's arrival completely changed everyone's opinion of Zhou Yang.
If the attitude of the Jiang family before determined the status of the Zhou family in Nanzhou, then the appearance of this lieutenant general once again raised the status of the Zhou family infinitely, to be precise, it was Zhou Yang's status.
Zhou Weijin could almost hear the sound of his own saliva, at the Jiang family's birthday banquet, he had seen Zhong Zhenxing once, although he didn't know the specific identity of the other party, but the rank of lieutenant general was real.
How many lieutenant generals can there be in the country?
At this moment, he suddenly felt that he couldn't see through Zhou Yang at all, how capable Zhou Yang was, and even the lieutenant general came to visit!
Ma Shennian, who was not far away, also felt his head buzzing, and his heart fell to the bottom, revealing a depressed demeanor, at this moment, he who had always prided himself on being wise suddenly felt like laughing.
If Zhou Yang's background can already involve the top military leaders, then even if he has the ability to reach the sky, he can't do anything more, and he doesn't dare to do anything more.
No matter how strong his Ma family is, he can't go against the country, and it is impossible to put the future of the entire Ma family on the line for that little bit of anger.
Ma Ye looked at this scene in a daze, for some reason, he suddenly didn't hate Zhou Yang now, maybe this is when your opponent reaches a height that you can only look up to, all the grievances are just a joke.
Lin Jiangkui couldn't help but gasp on the side, and now he finally understood why Jiang Lixing warned him not to mess with Zhou Yang again.
He was more glad that he took the initiative to reconcile and did not create more contradictions, otherwise he would definitely not be able to afford the catastrophe caused by his Lin family.
On the other side of the table, "Hey, let's forget it." Listening to Zhou Yiran's soft sigh in his ears.
Zhou Tianlei only felt that the epaulettes on Zhong Zhenxing's shoulders stinged his eyes, and looked at Zhou Yang walking behind Zhong Zhenxing in confusion, and he couldn't raise a trace of courage to be disgusted.
It turns out that this is Zhou Yang's biggest hole card!
The funny thing is that he has been delusional about attracting more contacts to stand on his side, hoping that one day he can trample Zhou Yang down.
But with the appearance of Zhong Zhenxing, a lieutenant general of the Chinese military, it almost announced that his idea could only be a dream after all!
The old man of the Zhou family looked at Zhou Yang and Zhong Zhenxing who were walking towards him excitedly, and he was both relieved and a little uncomfortable, he always felt that the Zhou family owed this grandson too much.
However, in the end, it was the grandson who made the greatest contribution to his Zhou family!
"Haha, it turns out that General Zhong is here, who am I? Among all the people present, only Jiang Lao smiled most calmly, as one of the founding fathers of Huaxia, he was the only one qualified to say this.
"Old chief, you're laughing at me again. Zhong Zhenxing and Bai Mufan came to the main table under the awe-inspiring gaze of everyone.
"By the way, Zhou Yang, these are the two pots of wine that the chief asked me to bring you, hehe. After taking a seat, Zhong Zhenxing remembered the wine he was carrying and sent it to Zhou Yang.
The wine bottles are not surprising, not to mention the brand, not even the packaging, they are just two ordinary porcelain bottles.
But Zhong Zhenxing's simple words shook everyone's hearts again.
The chief asked him to bring wine to Zhou Yang?
Which chief?
In Huaxia, the person who can be called the chief by the lieutenant general must at least be a general, and the general is already one of the top leaders of the current Huaxia military.
There are only more than 30 generals in Huaxia who are on active duty, and all of them are bigwigs in the military and political circles.
It doesn't matter what kind of wine it is, it's an attitude and position, what is Zhou Yang's identity, and why would the chief give him wine?
At this moment, everyone was so shocked that they couldn't even guess, Zhou Yang challenged everyone's psychological endurance again and again.
Even Ma Shennian, who was sitting in the distance, turned a little pale inadvertently, with a wry smile on the corner of his mouth, and the last luck in his heart was shattered.
Looking at the wine bottle handed over by Zhong Zhenxing, Zhou Yang was also stunned, and hesitated and did not immediately reach out to pick it up.
Of course, he knew the inner meaning of this wine, but he had only heard of the chief he had never met before, and he had never even had contact, why would such a celestial figure give him wine?
Zhou Yang is not a fledgling stunned young man, there must be something he doesn't know about, and he doesn't want to accept such an inexplicable gift rashly before he understands it clearly.
However, a scene that made Zhou Yang feel even more strange happened, Zhong Zhenxing didn't say anything more, but another person said.
"That Zhou Yang, you take it first, you deserve it. It was Bai Mufan with an embarrassed smile on his face.
Zhou Yang looked at the two suspiciously, and first took the wine bottle from Zhong Zhenxing's hand, "Instructor Zhong, what's going on?" Zhou Yang still asked the doubts in his heart.
"Hehe, you better ask him. Seeing Zhong Zhenxing, he looked at Bai Mufan with an impatient sneer.
The wine sent by the chief, why do you have to ask Bai Mufan again?
Zhou Yang kept having questions in his heart.
"That, that, you better ask Xiaorou. I saw that Bai Mufan said with some embarrassment.
What??ask Bai Xiaorou?
It's all where it is!
The second monk Zhou Yang was confused, and was surrounded by several people, and it happened that Zhou Weijin came over for the third time to ask if the banquet was open.
However, just as Zhou Yang was about to announce the opening of the table.
"Wait a minute, old man, I have something to say. The old man of the Zhou family stood up from his seat on crutches.
