Chapter 318: The Dinner Party
Not only are many elders discussing this matter, but even many young people in Wuzhou are also gathering to discuss this matter.
After all, the Xu family's longevity for so many years depends on the friendship of the year, but when people go to tea and cool, after the old man Xu leaves, there is not much friendship left.
Without the care of the big guy, the Xu family guards such a property, and those who have no power and power will be swallowed up by other families sooner or later, and the entire Wuzhou is staring at the Xu family's cake.
"Zheng Shao, who do you think rescued the old man of the Xu family?" Wang Yuxuan asked as he looked at a handsome man beside him.
His attitude was very cautious, for fear of accidentally upsetting the person in front of him.
The man known as Zheng Shao smiled and said, "It doesn't matter who it is, anyway, the Xu family won't last long, and sooner or later it will collapse." ”
"Then is the Xu family just sitting still?" Wang Yuxuan asked suspiciously.
The Xu family's embarrassment is very clear to almost the entire Wuzhou City, and the Xu family should be more clear, but they don't seem to be in a hurry at all, and they haven't taken any measures.
"Of course not, why do you think I came to the Xu family?" Zheng Shao said with a smile.
"Could it be?" Wang Yuxuan was shocked in his heart, and couldn't help but exclaim: "Could it be that the Xu family plans to unite with the Zheng family?"
He was shocked by this news, the Zheng family in Qingzhou is a big family that does not lose to the Xu family, and the main development direction of the Zheng family is in the political circle.
Not only in Qingzhou, but even in the entire Jiangbei, and even in the entire Jiangnan Province, no one would easily provoke the Zheng family.
If the Xu family and the Zheng family are united, then they are really rich and powerful, and other families will have to consider the attitude of the Zheng family if they want to deal with the Xu family.
"What, you were shocked by this news?" Zheng Kaitang said with a smile: "This matter is actually not so incomprehensible, the Xu family needs the power of the Zheng family, the Zheng family needs the money of the Xu family, and the two sides just take what they need." ”
Zheng Shao laughed. Wang Yuxuan said with a dry laugh.
If this matter spreads, I am afraid that the whole Wuzhou will be shaken, after all, the Xu family is one of the top families in Wuzhou, if it is united with the Zheng family, it is conceivable that there will be a qualitative leap in strength, and then the entire Wuzhou is likely to develop into a situation where the Xu family is the dominant family.
"Zheng Shao, it turns out that you are here. Song Xixiao walked over from a distance, staring at Zheng Kaitang with glowing eyes and said.
She is the person arranged by the Xu family to entertain Zheng Shao.
Although this Zheng Shao is nothing, the Zheng family he represents behind him is the object of the Xu family's efforts, especially now that the old man Xu is not in good health, the Xu family needs to find a strong foreign aid to protect themselves.
"Why doesn't Zheng Shao go to the dance to have fun? I think if Zheng Shao goes, he will definitely become the protagonist at the dance. Song Xixiao's beautiful eyes swept over his body, and the water in his eyes flowed.
Zheng Kaitang shook his head and said with a gentle smile: "Maybe I'm going to disappoint Xixiao, I'm not very good at dancing." ”
"Ahh Song Xixiao's face showed some surprise, she didn't expect Zheng Kaitang to be not good at dancing, this is simply incredible, after all, a rich family like them, ballroom dancing is definitely one of the communication etiquette that must be learned.
"Zheng Shao, I'm sorry, I said the wrong thing. Song Xixiao said regretfully, if she knew that Zheng Shao was not good at dancing, she would definitely not say that.
"It's okay, you didn't mean to. Zheng Kaitang said with a smile.
The gentle smile was like a spring breeze blowing into Song Xixiao's heart, and her face was slightly ruddy.
Although she knew that she could not climb the high branches of the Zheng family, even if she had a dewy marriage with Zheng Shao, she was also very willing, and it was much better to be his lover than to marry a child of a small family in Wuzhou in the future.
"Huh" Zheng Kaitang turned his head and saw Xu Qianqian not far away, but he couldn't take his eyes off anymore just by glancing at him.
Few people know that he is a die-hard fan of Xu Qianqian, and it is not difficult to get a star like Xu Qianqian as he is.
But because the Zheng family's family style is strict, children and grandchildren are not allowed to do anything wrong, and he himself is unwilling to use such a way, just silently guarding Xu Qianqian in secret has already made him feel satisfied.
I didn't expect to meet Xu Qianqian in this kind of place.
Song Xixiao saw Zheng Kaitang's eyes staring straight ahead, followed his line of sight, and felt a little unhappy after seeing Xu Qianqian.
The ghost is not gone, how can you see her everywhere?
"That's Xu Qianqian, why is she here?" asked Zheng Kaitang with some uncertainty.
He didn't even turn his head when he asked this, and his attitude was completely different from the previous feeling of alienation, which was very gentle but always had a faint sense of alienation.
Song Xixiao felt a little apprehensive in her heart, anyone could see that Xu Qianqian was special in Zheng Shao's eyes, Xiao Han was like this, and Zheng Kaitang was also like this, it seemed that excellent men were revolving around her.
"She's my cousin, of course she'll be here. Song Xixiao said.
"Cousin?" A trace of doubt flashed in Zheng Kaitang's eyes, he had never heard of a girl in the three generations of the Xu family before, and if Xu Qianqian was a member of the Xu family, he had no reason not to know.
"Could it be ......" He seemed to remember something, turned his head to look at Song Xixiao and said, "Could it be that Xu Qianqian is the daughter of Uncle Zhenghuai?"
Xu Zheng is pregnant with an illegitimate daughter, and he has heard about his recent return to the Xu family, but he didn't expect it to be Xu Qianqian, all this is too coincidental.
"Who else could it be? Song Xixiao said angrily.
After receiving this affirmative answer, Zheng Kaitang's heart was filled with happiness at once, and he felt as if he had arrived in heaven.
This time the Xu family and the Zheng family united, in fact, the two sides only had this initial intention. How to do it and how to do it still needs to be decided after the old people of the two families discuss it.
He came to Wuzhou this time just to show his attitude on behalf of the Zheng family, and by the way, to tell the family in Wuzhou about the relationship between the Xu family and the Zheng family.
The reason why he appeared at this party was just a coincidence, in fact, he only came to Wuzhou this morning.
Originally, he wanted to visit Mr. Xu in the hospital, but before he could go over, he got the news that Mr. Xu had been discharged from the hospital, and the Xu family held a party for this, so he came here.
But I didn't expect to meet Xu Qianqian here, and she turned out to be the granddaughter of Old Man Xu.
He had never felt so close to the Goddess.
"Zheng Shao, is there anything wrong with this?" Song Xixiao saw that Zheng Kaitang had not spoken since just now, and stared at Xu Qianqian with straight eyes.
"No, no problem at all. Zheng Kaitang was no longer calm, and said with some excitement: "Do you think if I ask the Xu family to marry Xu Qianqian, Old Man Xu will agree?"
"Brother Shen!"
"Hmm!"
Shen Changqing walked on the road, and when he met someone he knew well, he would say hello to each other or nod his head.
But it doesn't matter who it is.
There was no superfluous expression on everyone's face, as if they were very indifferent to everything.
on this.
Shen Changqing is used to it.
Because this is the Demon Suppression Division, it is an institution that maintains the stability of Great Qin, and its main responsibility is to kill demons and monsters, and of course there are some other side jobs.
Arguably.
In the Demon Suppression Division, everyone has a lot of blood on their hands.
When a person is accustomed to seeing life and death, then he will become indifferent to many things.
When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but over time he got used to it.
The Demon Suppression Division is huge.
The people who can stay in the Demon Suppression Division are all powerful masters, or people who have the potential to become masters.
Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.
Among them, the Demon Suppression Division is divided into two professions, one is the town guard and the other is the demon exterminator.
Anyone who enters the Demon Suppression Division starts with the lowest level of demon slayer.
Then step by step, he is expected to become a town guard.
Shen Changqing's predecessor was a trainee demon slayer in the Demon Suppression Division, and he was also the lowest level of the demon slayer envoys.
Have memories of the predecessor.
He is also very familiar with the environment of the Demon Suppression Division.
It didn't take long for Shen Changqing to stop in front of an attic.
Unlike other places full of slaughter, the attic here seems to stand out from the crowd, and in the bloody Demon Suppression Division, it presents a different tranquility.
At this time, the attic door is open, and there are occasional people entering and exiting.
Shen Changqing only hesitated for a moment, and then stepped in.
Access to the attic.
The environment has changed in vain.
A burst of ink fragrance mixed with the faint smell of blood came to his face, making his brow furrow instinctively, but quickly stretched.
The smell of blood on everyone's body in the Demon Suppression Division is almost impossible to clean.
