Zi Yan read the book left by her grandfather, and then asked the guards to put them in the door one by one, and together with Qu Wu, she screened them one by one to see if they were distant relatives.

Those who can answer the names of the main relatives of the sub-family and their relatives are temporarily left in the courtyard, and those who cannot answer anything are released through the side door.

As a result, only four of the more than 20 people were indeed relatives, and the others were all people of unknown origin, thinking that the owner of the Chengzi family was a little girl who was easy to bully, and wanted to sneak into the Zi family to reap the benefits, Zi Yan asked the guards to drive away all these people who wanted to mix in, and asked Zixin to take pictures of these people with her mobile phone in case they came to disturb again.

Three of the four distant relatives were young men of seventeen or eighteen, while the other was fifty years old.

Although these four people are relatives, they have not had any contact with Ziyan before, and Ziyan does not know them, but they still let them live in the courtyard of Zi's house first, and then arrange appropriate things for them to do later.

Qu Wu and Zi Yan discussed the arrangements for returning to Zi's house for a while, because Zigui is the owner of Zi's house in the future, so it must be grand and warm to show that the glory of Zi's family will be restored from now on.

After discussion, Qu Wu made arrangements and contacted Sang Zhi, and the Sang family also attached great importance to this matter, not only because the title that Zigui wanted to inherit was one level higher than that of the Sang family, but also because he did have deep feelings, especially Sang Zhi's wife and the youngest concubine, who regarded him as their own.

Two days later, Sang led more than a dozen carriages to send his son back to the Zi's mansion, and the Zi's family was decorated with lights, creating a festive atmosphere.

After Sang Zhi got out of the carriage, he took Zigui's hand and came to the gate of Zi's compound, and handed Zigui into Ziyan's hands with his own hands.

At this time, Zigui is no longer the runny and childish child in Ziyan's memory, although he is only thirteen years old, he already looks like a handsome son, and his gestures are quite mature and steady as adults.

Ziyan took Zigui's hand, with tears in her eyes, and asked with trembling lips, "Zigui, do you remember me?"

"Sister, how could I not recognize you, I was already grown up when we broke up. It's been seven years, and I often think about one day when I'll see you and Zixin again. ”

"It's my sister who can't stand you and ruthlessly let you leave." Zi Yan said with tears in her eyes.

"Sister, when we broke up, we knew that our family was in trouble, and you had no choice but to do it, and you weren't big at that time. Fortunately, I met good people and gave me a new home. Now I am back to you, but in my heart, I am still a child of the Sang family. Zigui said.

Sang Zhi on the side heard with tears in his eyes, and said to Zigui: "Yes, the Sang family will always keep your room and your bed, as long as you step into the door of the Sang family, you will still be the young master of our Sang family."

Zigui listened to Sang Zhi's words, knelt down and kowtowed to Sang Zhi to say goodbye to Sang Zhi, and followed Zi Yan and Zi Xin into the gate of Zi Zhi's mansion with tears in his eyes.

Zigui's left and right hands were led into the gate by Ziyan and Zixin respectively, and all Zigui's relatives, friends, family members, and maids formed two columns to welcome Zigui home.

Ziyan led Zigui to Qu Wu and said to Zigui: "Brother, this is your future brother-in-law, Mr. Qu Wu."

"Brother-in-law, I heard my father mention you earlier, he said that you saved his life, and you are also the benefactor of our son's family, thank you." Zigui said.

"Zigui, welcome back to Zi's house. We're a family, and these things are supposed to be done. Qu Wu said.

Everyone hugged Zigui and walked into the second gate of the compound and entered the garden. According to Qu Wu's idea, he wanted Zigui to say a few words for everyone here, but Ziyan vetoed it.

After all, this is ancient times, and that kind of show is not suitable for the ancients.

After the son returned to the Zi family, Qu Wu contacted the eldest grandson and asked him to ask King Chu Mu to restore the hereditary title of the Zi family and return the bronze seal and seal of the Zi family earl.

At the same time as inviting the eldest grandson to invite King Chu Mu, Qu Wu and Ziyan invited a ceremonial officer to conduct etiquette training in the palace for Zigui to avoid mistakes that should not have happened.

After receiving the invitation of the eldest grandson, King Chumu summoned Zigui and personally handed over the bronze seal and seal to Zigui.

In addition to enjoying the corresponding title, the sub-family can also establish a clan army, and the land ownership and slaves of its fiefdom are their private property, and of course the land can also be rented to commoners to collect rent.

At this time, the Shiqing Shilu system, the title and the title of the secretary can be hereditary, but the official position cannot be hereditary, which is the so-called "there is an official without a lord, there is a lord without an official, there is a position without power, and there is no right to have a position".

However, with a knighthood, there is a high possibility of obtaining an official position, and as long as the recommendation is appropriate, you can generally get an official position.

Zigui is still young, and if he wants to mix in the aristocratic class in the future, it is difficult to achieve success without any real skills. Therefore, what Zi Yan wants is to let Zi Gui learn more skills and gain the favor of the imperial court as soon as possible.

Although Zigui now inherits the title of earl, after all, he is still young, and all the people, wealth, and things of the Zi family are still in the hands of Ziyan.

However, the Zi family has just recovered its breath, everything is waiting to be happy, and the previous wealth has long disappeared, so almost all expenses are supported by Qu Wu.

Fortunately, Qu Wu has a lot of financial resources, and there is no problem in supporting the Zi family.

Of course, Zi Yan knew Qu Wu's contributions, and she recorded every big expense Qu Wu paid, and returned them when the Zi family recovered in the future.

The most incomprehensible thing for Ziyan is that Qu Wu told her a few times that she would marry Zixin to Sun Shu Ao, who worked as a waiter in Qingya Teahouse, after all, in her opinion, although this boy is diligent, Qu Wu has repeatedly emphasized that Sun Shu Ao has a great future, but his appearance is not good, and he does not have a hereditary title, which makes Zi Yan hard to believe. Although his sister is only thirteen years old, she is already slim and jade, and she has the demeanor of everyone's ladies.

However, she couldn't resist Qu Wu's repeated insistence, and finally agreed, and asked Qu Wu to find Uncle Sun Ao to propose marriage.

Qu Wu found Mi Hong and Pan Hong and asked them to come to Zi's house to propose, Mi Hong and his wife thought that their son could marry Zixin, but they didn't expect Zi's family to throw this marriage red line to Sun Shuao, a nephew whose parents were no longer there and made a living alone, lamenting that he had such good luck.

Sun Shuao was even more overjoyed, as an orphan, his desire for home was far stronger than others, and marrying a woman from a famous family was something he couldn't think of, not to mention that this woman was not only innocent, but also beautiful as a flower.

Uncle Sun Ao has no father and no mother, as an uncle, Mi Hong came to the mansion of the Zi family with a heavy gift, and set the marriage fate with Zixin for his nephew Sun Shu Ao, and the two families are scheduled to hold a wedding two years later.

From the day the son returned to the son's family, a series of measures began to be implemented around the revival of the Zijia family.

First of all, Ziyan hired a full-time private school teacher to learn culture and etiquette for Zigui, and also hired a full-time martial arts master to guide Zigui to practice martial arts.

The second is to establish the clan armament of the sub-family, which is a necessary choice to increase one's own strength.

Qu Wu began to customize chariots and recruit soldiers for the clan forces of the Zi family.

Fortunately, Qu Wu is the leader of the Qingyun Gang, and the Qingyun Gang has always attached importance to the teaching and practice of disciples' martial arts, so many young people have been selected from the Qingyun Gang to enrich the clan armament of the Zi family, and some people with high martial arts skills have also been entrusted with important tasks.

There is also the internal expansion of the sub-family's house. In order to make the Zi family prosperous, the first thing is to prosper the people, and if there are only three sisters and brothers and more than a dozen maids and servants in the huge mansion, it will be too deserted.

However, Zigui is still too young to get married and spread out, so Ziyan uses the backyard bungalow as a barracks for the clan army, which is also conducive to the protection of the house.

According to the scale of the army of 100 times, there are as many as 3,000 armed men of the world, in order to solve the accommodation of the sergeants, Qu Wu also set up camps inside and outside the house he purchased, personally guided the training of the armed forces of these families, and by the way, let them participate in some cleaning and decoration projects of their own houses.

Qu Wu's decoration of the house is contrary to the previous fine and luxurious, but focuses on the pastoral style, a large number of logs, plain wood boards to decorate, which makes the workshop owner in charge of the decoration project feel incredible, originally thought that the homeowner is to save money, but according to Qu Wu's design, the effect of the decoration is not bad, the whole courtyard seems to be integrated with the natural landscape, and the decoration speed is much faster.

The room with the secret room will be used as the wedding room for Qu Wu and Zi Yan, and Qu Wu will participate in the whole process of renovation and supervise and direct the construction to ensure that the secret is not revealed.
