Chapter 653: Birthday Banquet II
In the process of walking from the backyard of the Zhang family to the front yard, Zhang Xudong has always felt a little uncomfortable, not that he is afraid of anything, but that he is worried that if Qiao Xiu makes a big fuss, how can he help them get out, this is a question worth thinking about. From the perspective of the defense of the Zhang family www.biquge.info the most ordinary are martial artists, and there must be many masters among them.
At this moment, Qiao Xiu had a look of hatred on his face, and there was actually a trace of smugness in his eyes. Zhang Xudong followed her until Zhang Cong appeared and blocked their way.
Glancing at Zhang Cong, he stingy and snorted: "What are you doing?" Want to stop us? Even if it is a guest, the Zhang family will not stop it, not to mention that we are still the Zhang family, do you think you are not afraid of losing the face of the Zhang family? ”
Zhang Cong smiled slightly and said, "Miss Luo, today is the birthday of the old patriarch, I hope you will distinguish the occasion, don't play with fire**, no one will be able to save you at that time." This is all the heart of the third lady and the Bodhisattva, for the sake of the third master, I don't care about you in general, and I lost the previous loss and allowed you to participate in the birthday banquet. But if you don't know the depth, you should know the family rules, right? ”
"Clan rules? You don't scare me with clan rules. Qiao Xiu said coldly: "I can't imagine that I haven't been here for so many years, and Manager Zhang Cong is really getting more and more powerful. If you don't know, you think you're not a housekeeper, but the master of the Zhang family! ”
Zhang Cong's face finally changed, and he forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, if it wasn't Zhang Tianshu's birthday today, I was afraid that he would have made a move a long time ago, and he would never allow an abandoned person who was kicked out of the Zhang family to play prestige in front of him.
Suddenly, Zhang Cong's face gradually softened, and said: "I am surnamed Zhang, and being able to be a housekeeper is already the love of the clan, I have been keeping my duty, but some people have to do some disobedient things, if you don't listen to the advice, it is estimated that this time will not be as lucky as last time." ”
Hearing this, Zhang Xudong's brows furrowed slightly, and his face was naturally dull. Anyway, Qiao Xiu is his mother, that is, his relatives, even if he still has a strong sense of strangeness to this mother, he is always his relatives.
This Zhang Cong is typical of intimidating him, which makes Zhang Xudong feel very uncomfortable, since he arrived at Zhang's house, he has been low-key and low-key, but it does not mean that he will watch others bully his mother, at least Zhang Xudong has been angry in his heart.
Taking a step forward, Zhang Xudong sneered: "Manager Zhang Cong, there is no distinction between high and low, but there should be respect and inferiority, right?" You just have to mind yourself. No matter how powerful the Zhang family is and how strict the clan rules are, it has nothing to do with us now, so don't be alarmist here, especially for a woman. There should be a lot of things going on in the Zhang family today, right? Then please go and get busy with you, we still have our business, as the saying goes, a good dog doesn't get in the way. ”
Qiao Xiu's face changed immediately, and he glanced at Zhang Xudong with his spare eyes, naturally very happy. She thinks that no matter what she does, Zhang Xudong will support her and will always stand with her, it seems that her original decision was right.
Zhang Cong's face also changed, revealing a touch of embarrassment, but he still suppressed his anger with his cultivation. looked at Zhang Xudong, Zhang Cong smiled and said: "You just look a little similar to the third master, but you don't look like you at all in terms of personality, maybe you are being used as a gunman." ”
Zhang Xudong's expression was a little surprised, and he stared at Zhang Cong.
Zhang Cong continued: "If the patriarch didn't allow your sister to enter, you wouldn't even be able to enter the door of the Zhang family, young man, the Zhang family is not as simple as you think, I advise you to retreat in the face of difficulties, don't involve yourself in an incident that does not belong to you, there will be no place to cry when the time comes." ”
"Zhang Cong, how dare you doubt his authenticity? He is Zhang Feng's son, there is no doubt about it. Qiao Xiu was a little excited and said, "These people in your Zhang family are all the same. Whether you admit it or not, but Xudong is Brother Feng's son, so he is your Zhang family's master, and that's how you treat your own master? ”
Seeing Qiao Xiu's inexplicable excitement, Zhang Xudong frowned slightly, and the doubts in his heart deepened, originally he doubted the authenticity of Qiao Xiu is his mother, but now Zhang Cong said this, coupled with Qiao Xiu's attitude, he was naturally even more puzzled.
"As for what I said, you must have a bottom in your heart. The young man ......" Suddenly, Zhang Cong patted Zhang Xudong on the shoulder and said: "You have to think twice before doing things, some things are wrong, but there is no chance to correct them." With that, he departed.
Zhang Xudong froze in place, a little at a loss, he was thinking about the possibility of Zhang Cong's words. Judging from some previous things, Zhang Xudong may have thought of something, but it seems to be some fragments, and he has not found a line connecting these fragments. However, since he has come, even if he can't determine his identity, he can still know from the mouth of the Zhang family whether he is a member of the Guwu Zhang family.
Looking at Zhang Xudong's expression, Qiao Xiu snorted coldly and said, "Don't be stunned, do you want to believe an outsider to sow discord?" Immediately, she sighed slowly and said, "Xudong, you and I are the sons of Brother Hefeng, naturally the descendants of their Zhang family, if it weren't for Zhang Kui's tricks, the current patriarch would be your father Zhang Feng, and we wouldn't be outside the family!" ”
Zhang Xudong narrowed his eyes and said, "Who is Liu Ruyan?" I heard the Zhang family call her the third lady, so who are him and my father? ”
Qiao Xiu clenched his fists and said, "Don't you understand this?" She was your father's original match, but your father didn't like her. And when she saw that I was on good terms with your father, she schemed against us. She is a woman with a face like a bodhisattva and a femme fatale, and you must not be deceived by her appearance. If you think about it, the suffering that you, your sister and I have suffered for so many years has been done by her, and my internal strength has also been destroyed by her hands, isn't this enough proof? ”
As he spoke, Qiao Xiu's voice had become erect. Zhang Xudong disagreed with her words, because he believed in his first feeling that Liu Ruyan was definitely not a poisonous woman like Qiao Xiu's mouth, it was completely the opposite.
"But ......" Zhang Xudong originally wanted to argue for Liu Ruyan, but he thought that there was no need for this. If Qiao Xiu knew that she had met Liu Ruyan, I don't know what would happen to her.
Seeing Zhang Xudong's appearance, Qiao Xiu also had some doubts in her heart, but now she didn't have time to think about too many irrelevant issues, the birthday banquet was about to start, and she didn't want to miss this opportunity again.
The Zhang family has always been Zhang Tianshu's master, and even if he abdicates, Yu Wei is unquestionable. If Qiao Xiu wants to return to the Zhang family, then the old patriarch is the top priority, with her understanding of Zhang Tianshu, no matter how much the Zhang family hated herself back then, but unfilial piety is great, with the existence of Zhang Xudong, Zhang Tianshu will definitely let go.
Entering the main hall, there were constantly people congratulating on birthdays, and Zhang Tianshu, who had flowing white hair, was greeting the guests for dinner. When Qiao Xiu brought Zhang Xudong and Zhang Xulan in, Qiao Xiu took the lead and said: "Congratulations to the old patriarch on his ninety birthday, blessing is as long as water in the East China Sea, and longevity is better than the old pine in Nanshan." ”
Zhang Tianshu was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Luo Xiu. He naturally knew Luo Xiu and his relationship with Zhang Feng. It's just that after Zhang Feng died, Qiao Xiu left the Zhang family, and it can even be said that he has a grudge against the Zhang family, how can he give himself a birthday celebration?
But when his gaze moved to Zhang Xudong's body, he was shocked, and he couldn't believe his eyes. It's so similar, as if it was carved out of a mold with Zhang Feng, could it be that this young man is Zhang Feng's orphan?
And Liu Ruyan on the side nodded slightly at Zhang Xudong, and then whispered in Zhang Tianshu's ear: "Old man, this is Zhang Feng's son and daughter, our Zhang family." Today, with the joy of your birthday, they want to recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors, which can be said to be double happiness. ”
Zhang Tianshu was a little unbelievable, but the young man in front of him really had too many similarities with his son, especially the domineering spirit revealed between his eyebrows, which was almost carved out of the same mold as Zhang Feng, which made him not believe it, this young man was his grandson.
Seventy years old is rare, and eighty or ninety years old has become an old age, and everything can already be seen. Most of the elderly in this age group just want to be reunited. Qiao Xiu's sudden appearance at this moment naturally surprised Zhang Tianshu, but he was also very happy, because he saw Zhang Xudong.
Zhang Xudong was also observing Zhang Tianshu. It's so similar, it's seven or eight points like the White Lion King, or what the White Lion King looks like after he reaches this age, Zhang Xudong not only started his own identity, but even the identity of the White Lion King is very questionable, could it be that Zhang Feng, the White Lion King, is Zhang Feng, the son of Zhang Tianshu?
After hesitating for a moment, Zhang Tianshu immediately laughed out loud and said, "Okay, it's good to come, give them red envelopes, and make a fortune." After all, this is his own family matter, and he also knows that Qiao Xiu's return this time will not be so simple, but for the sake of her raising a son and a daughter, she is not to blame for the past, if it is too stiff at this time, the best thing to lose face is to increase the price.
"Thank you, old patriarch." Qiao Xiu accepted the red envelope very obediently, but her eyes were full of pride. Seeing Zhang Tianshu again at this time, no matter what, no one dares to move a finger easily, and more importantly, she has the trump card of Zhang Xudong in her hand.
"Everyone is almost there. Dakui, let's get ready for the feast and let all the guests eat. Zhang Tianshu said to Zhang Kui. Then he stood up, hugged his fists, and said: "Lao Yu thanks all my colleagues for coming to the birthday banquet in their spare time, and Lao Yu and the Zhang family are grateful. The birthday banquet hall is next to it, so please move and drink a few glasses of thin wine together. After the birthday banquet, it will be a competition for the younger generation of my Zhang family, and when the time comes, please do an observation, and I am grateful to be able to point out the old decay. ”
"Mr. Zhang is polite, this is as it should be!" All the guests clenched their fists in unison. Then, under the leadership of Zhang Kui, he walked towards the birthday banquet hall.
Li Haotian and Dong Xinling were also in the crowd. And when Li Haotian saw Zhang Xudong, he glared at the latter viciously, and was full of anger at the same time, and he didn't know if it was because of Mi Xue and Dong Xinling, or because of what happened last night. He wasn't afraid that it was impossible, and he assassinated the third lady of the Zhang family last night, which was a very big crime.
In fact, Li Haotian originally wanted to leave, but as soon as he left, he was a thief, so he could only come to congratulate him on his birthday, and at the same time sighed that fortunately there was no quenching poison on the silver needle, but when he saw Liu Ruyan, he didn't seem to care about what happened last night, which made Li Haotian secretly relieved.
But when he thought of what happened last night, Li Haotian was angry again, if Zhang Xudong hadn't guessed that it was him and let him leave with a weak heart, maybe now the bee knife had already arrived in his hands, and now he didn't get anything, and he was calculated a few times, so he naturally had a difficult atmosphere, that kind of opportunity is not every day, maybe it will be difficult to encounter in the future.
Dong Xinling grimaced at Zhang Xudong, not at all like the big star before, and said with his mouth: "You're finished!" Zhang Xudong was helpless, and he didn't know where he was finished, maybe he was talking about Mi Xue, and he didn't expect to enter the world of ancient martial arts, all of which was a changeable fate.
Zhang Tianshu couldn't help but look at Zhang Xudong, as if Zhang Feng was back, so he was even more happy. Holding Zhang Xudong's hand, he said with a smile: "Come, let grandpa take a closer look." "Full of love, after all, Zhang Xudong is his grandson, and Zhang Feng is his most beloved son, the so-called love house and Wu, who will be excited to see his grandson who has been separated for more than 20 years.
patting Zhang Xudong's strong chest, Zhang Tianshu nodded and said, "Very good, worthy of being my Zhang Tianshu's grandson." This made Zhang Xudong a little embarrassed, and he didn't know why he deserved to be his grandson, which reminded him of Zhang Xuanbiao who died a year ago, who was also his grandfather, and Zhang Tianshu had a similar feeling, which always made Zhang Xudong feel very kind, but he couldn't say anything this time.
Zhang Tianshu looked at Zhang Xudong and said, "Tell grandpa, what's your name?" ”
"Zhang Xudong, the sun is rising." Zhang Xudong replied directly.
"Zhang Xudong? The rising sun drives out darkness and illuminates the world, and all things are full of life, which is a very good name. Zhang Tianshu nodded slightly, took Zhang Xudong's hand, and said, "Come here with grandpa." The Zhang family owes you so many years, and the Zhang family will return what belongs to you in the future. Then, he looked at Zhang Xulan and asked, "What about you, tell grandpa, what is your name?" ”
Zhang Xulan was actually a little shy, lowered her head and said, "My name is Zhang Xulan." ”
