Volume 1 Chapter 57 Intricate

Zhang Bin followed Zhang Guan off the fortune boat with apprehension and went straight to the crowd on the dock to greet them.

In the crowd, the first one was a burly, tiger-backed man, although he was wearing civilian clothes, his iron blood was about to come out, he was Zhang Bin's father, Zhang Chengde, a thousand households in Dajin.

Next to Zhang Chengde is a delicate woman in her forties, both her figure and skin are well maintained, and she has the charm of a noblewoman, she is Zhang Bin's mother Huang.

Although Zhang Bin was excited at this time, he hadn't messed up yet, he deliberately slowed down by half a beat, two steps behind Zhang Guan, and asked the second brother to take the lead for him, but also to observe and see what etiquette his parents used appropriately.

Fortunately, the Zhang family was born in the army, so there was not so much red tape, Zhang Guan directly stepped forward and bowed, and said loudly: "Father, mother, I brought the fifth brother back." ”

In this way, it seems that it is over, Zhang Chengde nodded, and said with relief: "Well, good, hard work." ”

Huang said kindly: "Second son, if you are tired, stand aside and wait for a while, and then we will go home." ”

Zhang Guan obediently stood aside, and it was Zhang Bin's turn next.

Zhang Bin followed Zhang Guan's example, stepped forward and said, "Father, mother, I'm back." ”

Zhang Chengde was obviously a little excited, but he still maintained his majesty, and nodded with satisfaction: "Well, okay, it's good to come back." ”

Zhang Bin secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, fortunately, his father was old and respectful, and he didn't call him by his name in front of so many people.

He hadn't finished rejoicing, but Huang pounced on him, hugged him and said excitedly: "Fifth girl, I heard that the second son said that you were injured and worried about dying as a mother, are you okay?" ”

Zhang Bin is so depressed, in front of so many people, how can he maintain the image of this county order!

Just when he didn't know what to do, Xiaoyun pulled Sister Chen Yingying up, blessed slightly, and said delicately: "Father, mother, the child is back." ”

Zhang Chengde also seemed to like this adopted daughter, and when he saw her, he couldn't help but smile dotingly: "Okay, Xiaoyun is good." ”

Huang was attracted by his laughter, raised his head suddenly, glanced at Xiaoyun, and then left Zhang Bin, hugged Xiaoyun, and doted: "Xiaoyun, my little heart, you are back, and you want to die as a mother." ”

Xiaoyun was used to it, she obediently coaxed Huang two sentences, and then introduced like a treasure: "Father, mother, this is Yingying and Xiuxiu." ”

When Chen Yingying heard this, she hurriedly gave a deep blessing and said in a trembling voice: "The people's daughter Chen Yingying visited the Lord of Qianhu and the lady of Qianhu. ”

Zhang Chengde glanced at her up and down, and then said with satisfaction: "Well, okay, we will be a family in the future, so we don't have to be so restrained." ”

The Huang family is really a little busy at this time, she knows that this Chen Yingying is also the future daughter-in-law, and it is not good to favor one over the other, so she has to be reluctant to leave Xiaoyun, stepped forward to help Chen Yingying, looked her up and down, and said kindly: "No need to be polite, no need to be polite, our family does not have so much red tape." ”

Just when Chen Yingying didn't know what to do, a child next to her said crisply: "The folk girl Chen Xiuxiu met the Lord of Qianhu, the lady of Qianhu." ”

When Zhang Chengde saw Chen Xiuxiu's little adult-like appearance, he was immediately amused and laughed, Huang only remembered at this time, there seemed to be a little girl next to her, she looked down, and was instantly captured by Chen Xiuxiu's cute appearance.

She couldn't help but pick up the little girl and said happily: "Oh, Xiuxiu is so good, be my goddaughter, oh, no, this is my daughter, in the future, I will cook food for you every day for my mother, and make new clothes, okay." ”

As soon as Chen Xiuxiu heard that it was delicious, her eyes immediately lit up and said, "Okay, okay, thank you mother." ”

This well-behaved immediately made everyone laugh.

Immediately afterwards, Xie Zhenggang and his wife walked up with Wu Shiqi and arched their hands: "See Lord Qianhu." ”

Zhang Chengde nodded, waved his hand and said, "Okay, it's almost time, it's time to have lunch, let's go, let's go to have a reunion dinner together." ”

With that, he led the people out of the harbor and into a small town not far away.

It is naturally impossible to build a city in general, but Dajin is different, first of all, it is to guard the thousand households, and it does not belong to the jurisdiction of which guard, but directly belongs to the Fujian Dusi, relatively speaking, the specifications are a little higher than the ordinary thousand households, plus their thousands of households Zhang Chengde has made a lot of money with his subordinates in the past 20 years, so Dajin has also built a small city like a guard.

Although it is a small city, in fact, the area is not small, the scale is about to catch up with Pingyang County, which is full of military households of Dajin, Zhang Chengde's family naturally lives in the middle of the thousand households Yamen, in Zhang Bin's impression, the thousands of Yamen of Dajin Institute have been expanded several times, the area has already exceeded Pingyang County Yamen, the four of his brothers' mansions are newly built, he is not very familiar, but Zhang Chengde's mansion in the middle He is deeply impressed, because he grew up in it since he was a child.

Zhang Chengde's mansion is behind the Qianhu Yamen, three before and after, and three on the left and right, the area is about the same as the Pingyang County Yamen, but there are not many people inside, except for Zhang Chengde and his wife and Zhang Bin, there are only some guards on duty and invited people.

Three into the mansion, the first into the residence of the Tun Wei and the subordinates, the second into the residence of Zhang Chengde and his wife, the third into the residence of Zhang Bin.

At this time, the lobby and courtyard in the middle of the second entrance were full of wine banquets, and the courtyard was occupied by the families of the two deputy thousand households and ten hundred households of the Dajin Institute, and the family of Zhang Chengde was sitting in the lobby, with a total of more than ten tables.

At this time, the whole courtyard was already lively, and the others seemed to have already arrived, waiting for Zhang Chengde to pick up Zhang Bin and his party.

Zhang Chengde brought the group back, and after arranging the seats, he directly announced that the banquet had begun.

This vigorous and resolute action almost confused Zhang Bin, if he had returned the previous Zhang Bin, he must have experienced this meeting more than once, the problem is not he.

He was still in a daze, and the banquet began, there were only three tables in the hall, the middle table was Zhang Chengde and his sworn brothers, the left table was Huang with all his sons and daughters-in-law, and the right table was the relatives of the Zhang family, that is, the family of Huang and her daughters-in-law.

The atmosphere of the banquet is very harmonious, whether it is inside the lobby or outside the lobby, there is an endless stream of toasts back and forth, everyone drinks and chats, bragging, and farts, just like a family.

Zhang Bin knew that this was a good time for clichΓ©s, so he pretended to be bold, spilled wine on his clothes, kept a clear head, and finally understood the intricate relationship between Dajin and Zheng Zhilong.

He was stunned to find that not only Zheng Zhiyuan and the others were real brothers of the same clan as Zheng Zhilong, but he was also a little related to Zheng Zhilong, because Zheng Zhilong's mother was also surnamed Huang, and he was also of the same clan as his mother!
