After successfully winning over the merchants and families in Luyang, Zhao Yu's initial idea was truly completed, and he really tied the merchants and families in Luyang and Yexian counties to a carriage, a carriage called 'Luye Freemasonry'.

And he, the Marquis of Luyang Township, is the driver of this carriage.

Of course, today's Luye Freemasonry is still only a loose framework of the Chamber of Commerce, although the merchants and families in the Chamber of Commerce will gather because of the temptation of interests, but people may not gather hearts, and the gathering of people's hearts takes a long time to run-in.

Originally, Zhao Yu also planned to make a suggestion to his father, suggesting that their family banquet the merchants and families of Luyang and Yexian, firstly, the members of the association should have a good look at each other, and secondly, they should also take the opportunity to establish the 'leader' of this chamber of commerce, but considering that his grandfather and grandmother were about to come to the house, Zhao Yu could only put this matter on hold for the time being.

On the sixth day of November, a person rode a horse to the Marquis Mansion of Luyang Township.

At that time, Zhao Yu was lying in his room, enjoying the kneading of Jingnu, and even heard his brother Zhao Yin knocking on the door outside the house: "Brother, brother." ”

Jingnu immediately went over and opened the door, bowed and saluted: "The eldest prince." ”

"The Quiet Girl."

As the son-in-law of the Luyang Township Marquis, Zhao Yin returned the salute in a proper manner, and immediately walked quickly to the bed, and said to Zhao Yu, who had already sat up on the bed: "Brother, hurry, my grandfather and grandmother have arrived, and my father and mother ordered my brothers to go out of the house immediately to greet them." ”

Hearing this, Zhao Yu did not slack off, immediately put on his boots, and took Jingnu and her brother to the gate of the mansion.

When the two brothers came to the front of the mansion, the Marquis of Luyang and his wife Zhou, with Zhang Chun, Zhang Ying and many other guards in the mansion, were already standing outside the mansion.

"Dad, mother." The brothers came forward to greet their father and mother.

Immediately, Zhao Yu looked around and asked, "Didn't you say that your grandfather and grandmother came?" ”

"It's almost there."

The Marquis of Luyang Township explained with a stiff face: "Someone just went to the house to deliver the letter first......

As he spoke, his eyes seemed to catch a glimpse of something, and he said solemnly, "Here it is!" …… It should be that team. ”

Following the direction his father pointed, Zhao Yu looked up and saw that on the edge of the white snowy field, a team of about two or three carriages was slowly coming towards this side.

This convoy is the carriage that Zhou Jie, the head of the Zhou family, and his wife Zhang are riding.

"Uncle, Miss."

After seeing that he parked the carriage not far in front of everyone, he immediately saluted the Luyang Township Marquis and his wife, and at the same time, he did not forget to remind the people in the carriage: "Master, old lady, I have arrived at the house of my aunt and young lady." ”

Immediately, Old Man Zhou stepped out of the carriage and stood on the snow with his hands behind his back and moved the muscles and bones on his shoulders.

Under the secret urging of his wife, the Marquis of Luyang stepped forward to greet him with his wife.

"Father." The Marquis of Luyang Township bowed to the old man.

“……”

Old Man Zhou glanced at his son-in-law coldly, and was about to speak, but Zhou took the first step to hold his father's arm and said in a low voice: "Dad, in front of many people, you must not let your son-in-law lose face." ”

As she spoke, without waiting for Old Man Zhou to respond, she called out to the two brothers: "Yin'er, Yu'er, come and see your grandfather." ”

Hearing the names of the two grandchildren, where could Master Zhou still take care of his son-in-law, he immediately turned his head to look at the two grandsons.

One of them he had met a few days ago was his eldest grandson, Zhao Yin.

And the other......

Under the intently gaze of Old Man Zhou, Zhao Yu bowed like a brother: "Grandson, I have seen my grandfather." ”

As he saluted, he looked at the grandfather in front of him a little strangely, wondering why this grandfather was staring at him.

Just when he was confused, he heard Old Man Zhou bend down slightly and ask him, "Are you ...... Do you recognize the old man? ”

Zhao Yu didn't know why, nodded and said, "You are the grandfather." ”

He thought that there was no problem with this question and answer, but for some reason, there was a little disappointment in the eyes of the old man in front of him.

At this time, Zhou Zhang's family, with the support of his son-in-law Luyang Xianghou, stepped down from the carriage, and kept complaining: "This old man, he keeps muttering on the road, and his old body is annoyed......"

As she was talking, she also saw Zhao Yin and Zhao Yu, and greeted her with a smile on her face: "Yin'er, Yu'er, let grandma hug you." ”

As she spoke, she stepped forward and put her arms around the brothers, her wrinkled face full of joy.

However, the old man Zhou beside her had a tense face.

『…… Damn old woman, I want to hug my two grandsons too!'

The old man naturally gritted his teeth with hatred.

While gritting his teeth, he also secretly paid attention to the two brothers.

He immediately found that compared with the closeness of Zhao Yin and Zhou Zhang's family, the face of his little grandson Zhao Yu was obviously a little uncomfortable.

At this time, Zhou Zhang also noticed the discomfort on his little grandson's face, touched Zhao Yu's head and asked, "Yu'er, don't you remember grandma?" When I was a child, my grandmother loved you both......"

Zhao Yu's face was scornful, and he felt as if he had returned to the moment when he had just come to this home.

"My poor grandson." Zhou Zhangshi sighed and rubbed Zhao Yu's head, and advised: "Your mother told your grandmother that you must not play in dangerous places in the future......

Zhao Yu suddenly realized that he finally understood why the grandfather asked him like that.

At this time, the Luyang townsman came over and said, "Mother, it's freezing outside, let's talk about it in the house, right?" ”

"Okay." Zhou Zhang looked down at the brothers and said yes in a loud voice.

Just when the group entered the mansion, the Marquis of Luyang grabbed the sleeve of his son Zhao Yu, bent down slightly and lowered his voice and said, "Didn't you tell you to be smarter?" ”

“……”

Zhao Yu was speechless for a moment.

It is undeniable that the second elder is his grandfather and grandmother, and he looks quite kind, but he can't stand the fact that he has no impression of the second elder, he is a complete stranger, how can he get close?

Not to mention that the grandfather had a straight face, and he was more serious than his father, the Marquis of Luyang.

I can't get close to it at all!

After a while, the group came to the main hall of the north house, and the Luyang townsman invited the old man and the old lady to the main seat, and he sat on the side with the Zhou family and his two sons.

After the maid in the house served tea, Zhou Zhang said amiably to the Luyang townsman: "Gongyu, this time I bothered. ”

"Mother speaks of something." The Marquis of Luyang said respectfully: "The second elder is willing to come to the son-in-law's house, but it's too late for the son-in-law to be happy." ”

"Humph!" Old Man Zhou's side started again.

Immediately, Zhou Zhang turned his head and glared at his wife fiercely.

Zhao Yu, who clearly saw this scene, widened his eyes with a little surprise, and he vaguely felt that he seemed to see the shadow of his father and his mother from the way his grandfather and grandmother got along...... Or should it be the other way around?

At this time, Zhou Zhangshi glared at the old man, and said to his son-in-law and daughter with a smile: "Old body, I have long wanted to come to Luyang, you also know that the two brothers Shiji and Chengde are not at home all the year round, and the home is really deserted, and I have told the old man several times, or let's go to Luyang to see the son-in-law and daughter, and also take a look at the two grandsons by the way, the dead old man is stubborn, and he obviously wants to come ......."

"Nonsense!"

Old Man Zhou interrupted coldly.

Zhou Zhangshi glanced at his wife, and said, "Isn't it?" That day, our daughter just said that she invited us to come to Luyang, and that night you secretly packed up the salute and hid it in the cabinet thinking I couldn't see it......"

"Who said that?"

Old Man Zhou stiffened his neck and defended: "I didn't want to come, I'm going to visit a friend of mine......"

"The few close friends I have talked to you with, as far as I know, are either sick on the couch or have long been in the ground, who are you visiting? …… Also stood outside the house every day to watch the weather......"

"I'm just working on my bones." Old Man Zhou defended with a calm face.

"Alright, alright."

Seeing that his father seemed to be a little unable to get off the stage, Zhou smiled and said, "Dad, it's rare for you to come to your son-in-law's house, so it's better to stay for a few more days and let your two grandchildren accompany you......"

When he heard the first half of the sentence, the old man's face was full of disdain, but after hearing everything, he glanced at Zhao Yin and Zhao Yu brothers imperceptibly, and said vaguely: "Look at the mood, if you are in a bad mood, I will go back to Yancheng tomorrow, if you are in a good mood, stay for a few more days...... It's not impossible. ”

Compared with Zhao Yin's happy appearance after hearing this, the corners of Zhao Yu's mouth twitched slightly.

I have to say that this grandfather's temperament makes him can't help but have an urge to avoid it.

Maybe because of the presence of two grandsons, Old Man Zhou was in a very good mood, but he didn't deliberately find fault with his son-in-law as before, he completely ignored the Luyang townspeople present, and only talked to his daughter and two grandsons, asking them what they were doing in the house every day.

Zhao Yin's answer was decent: "My grandson is studying with Mr. Ram." ”

Different from the disdainful tone when he spoke to the Luyang townsman, Old Man Zhou asked kindly: "Mr. Ram, right, the old man has seen him, and he is indeed a well-educated person...... What did he teach you? ”

Zhao Yin replied, "Mr. Ram teaches his grandson Confucian scriptures. ”

"Oh, Confucian scriptures." The old man nodded and said with a smile: "Then the old man tested you, what is the root of Confucian scriptures?" ”

"It's filial piety!"

"What is filial piety?"

"The son is old, and it is called filial piety."

"What is filial piety?"

"Filial piety and obedience are called filial piety!"

After a few simple questions, Zhao Yin answered fluently, and Old Man Zhou nodded again and again when he heard it, and praised him: "Yin'er is smart, and Mr. Ram is also a great talent!" ”

After complimenting, he told Zhao Yin: "Yin'er should study hard, my grandfather was at a loss when he didn't read much, and he was looked down upon, since the Han Dynasty, this world is the world of scholars." ”

"Grandchildren are taught." Zhao Yin bowed his hand respectfully.

At this time, Old Man Zhou turned his head to look at Zhao Yu, who was yawning on the seat, and asked with a smile: "What about Yu'er, what do you do on weekdays, like your brother, to study with Mr. Ram?" ”

"It's not."

Zhao Yu shook his head and said, "I don't like to read, I like to walk around." ”

Old Man Zhou nodded when he heard the words and said: "Well, it's not a bad thing for young people to walk around and increase their knowledge, if you can take the opportunity to make connections, it will benefit you for life......

Hearing this, even though Zhao Yu felt that this old man's personality was a little awkward, he couldn't deny that in fact, this old man was not difficult to get along with.

Of course, the Luyang townsfolk will never recognize this.

As far as the above old man said to the brothers, especially the amiable attitude, he has never enjoyed it since he became a son-in-law.
