Chapter 154: Cangbei Authentic

Naturally, a dinner party was also arranged in the evening. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info This Cangbei faction is also a strong party in this Cangbei Mansion, although it is a Jianghu sect, but it is not comparable to the Nanshan faction.

The Cangbei faction was not only in charge of the underground forces in Beihe County, but also in charge of the underground forces in Nanhe County, but they did not participate in such a trade as illicit salt, but only collected some protection fees from salt sellers. Cangbei faction has more righteous business, restaurants, inns, cloth villages, and the like.

Although the Cangbei faction does not produce literati, there are disciples all over the two counties of the North and South Rivers, not to mention the martial arts dart bureau, that is, the officials in the yamen, the soldiers of various prefectures and counties to the chiefs, and there are countless people from the Cangbei faction.

After the dinner, there was no more communication, and Zhu Xiong arranged for Zhu Zhenguo and others to rest in a side courtyard. Because the next day is Zhu Xiong's fiftieth birthday, the people of the rivers and lakes of Nanbeihe County are going to gather at this Cangbei faction to congratulate Zhu Xiong on his birthday.

In a world where the average age of the people is just over 40, 50 years old is already a birthday worth having. The average family of people, who need a lot of work, looks like they are in their fifties after thirty-seven or eighteen. There are many who do not live to be thirty-seven or eighteen at all, and a random illness can take the life of a poor person in this era.

And it is not uncommon for people from rich and powerful families to live to sixty or seventy, or even seventy or eighty. This also highlights the imbalance in the distribution of social resources.

Early the next morning, Zhu Zhenguo got up to exercise and practice martial arts.

This Cangbei faction's manor has already been full of people, and there is an endless stream of guests coming and going, and Zhu Xiong's eldest son Zhu Shan has already greeted the guests at the door.

In this busy manor, no one came to greet Zhu Zhenguo, but a small servant informed Zhu Zhenguo where his seat was at noon. As for the other Zhuang Han of the Zhu family, they can only eat in this side courtyard and can't go to the main table.

Zhu Zhenguo took a few partners and also came to this gate to see the excitement. People come and go, some people are dressed luxuriously, at first glance they are businessmen on the rich side, and some people are wearing strong clothes and weapons, and it can also be seen that they are Jianghu characters. There are even more people with armor, and they can guess where it must be a hundred households.

Zhu Xiong's son Zhu Shan looks like he is in his thirties, and he is very good at this ushering thing, and he is polite and polite to everyone, and none of the people who have been greeted by him feel that they have been neglected.

Zhu Zhenguo was looking at the excitement and could see that he was a little shocked in his heart, a Jianghu sect can have such prestige in a place, and he can also see that this Zhu Xiong's means are extraordinary. But at this moment, a voice came from behind.

"The surname is Zhu, I heard that you are also an official?" The person who spoke was Zhu Xiong's daughter, and she was also the girl who competed with Zhu Zhenguo before, her name was Zhu Wen.

Zhu Zhenguo turned around and saw Zhu Wen, smiled and said, "It's not an official, a seven-grade sesame official, it's nothing." ”

"You are still a literati, but it is a novelty, where is there a literati who has learned a martial art." Zhu Wen also felt novel, she had seen a lot of this literati, and none of them were not above the top and powerless.

"Born precocious, it doesn't take much to study, but learning martial arts has suffered a lot." Zhu Zhenguo still said with a smile, but he had some good feelings for this girl Zhu Wen in his heart.

"I just praised you, and you yourself still blew it, born precocious? How many poems and books can you read in your stomach as a martial arts student? This Zhu Wen didn't believe that Zhu Zhenguo had been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and what else could he ask in college. It is in his heart that this person who learns literature has not learned martial arts. Those who learn martial arts are not the material for reading.

"Hehe... In Xia Bucai, he was added as the Duke of Xie Yuan of Dajiang County, but he disappointed the girl. Zhu Zhenguo said with a smile.

"Xie Yuangong, who are you fooling, you still have this ability, but I don't believe it, even if you are Xie Yuangong, you must have bought it with money." Zhu Wen is in Beihe County, and she is also used to hearing about buying fame, if it weren't for her brother's really big characters that can't write a few words, I'm afraid that my father will also buy a fame for Zhu Shan and come back. is also the same, this Zhu Wen also thinks that other counties are probably the same, spending money to buy fame.

"Hehe... Dajiang County can't buy fame with money, and I came to Beihe this time because I can buy fame with money. Zhu Zhenguo is not angry, chatting with this girl, there is no need to be angry with her.

"You're here for this thing of paying for fame? What to do? The girl listened to Zhu Zhenguo's subtle words, but she aroused curiosity.

"I've been ordered to investigate your fame in Beihe County." Zhu Zhenguo didn't hide it.

"Haha... You are a seventh-grade petty official, and you still take care of the affairs of these second-grade and third-grade officials... Bragging is not afraid of a large amount of gas. This Zhu Wen really didn't believe it, but she laughed.

Zhu Zhenguo also smiled and didn't reply. After watching this lively scene for a while, Zhu Zhenguo got tired of watching it and went back to the courtyard by himself.

The banquet started at noon, and Zhu Zhenguo arrived at the banquet hall on time. There are more than 20 tables in the hall, and there are even 60 or 70 in the playground outside, so that nearly 1,000 people can sit today, not including many people who can't sit down.

Zhu Zhenguo's seat is not bad, it should be said that it is very good, and he sat down at the third table in front of his head. It is also this Zhu Xiong who regards this Zhu Zhenguo as a representative of his cousin's lineage. If you want to talk about this generation, Zhu Zhenguo is a generation younger than Zhu Xiong's youngest daughter Zhu Wen.

At noon, firecrackers rang out outside until the sound of firecrackers subsided. This is the official start of the birthday feast.

Zhu Xiong, as the host, also wants to say a kind word first, thank you for your attendance. There are a lot of polite words, and he said the time of a stick of incense. Then Zhu Xiong's eyes turned to Zhu Zhenguo, and then gestured a few times.

Zhu Zhenguo also saw Zhu Xiong's eyes, but he didn't understand what it meant. Seeing Zhu Xiong beckoning to him again, Zhu Zhenguo realized that it was this Zhu Xiong Zhu who beckoned him over.

Zhu Zhenguo stood up, but he wondered in his heart, what could Zhu Xiong do if he recruited himself on this occasion today. When Zhu Zhenguo walked next to Zhu Xiong, Zhu Xiong spoke again.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have to say one thing at the end, that is, there is another vein in this Cangbei Authentic Sect, which is a vein passed down by my cousin Zhu Daneng, and it is also going to be included in the genealogy, this is the representative of the descendants of this vein, Dajiang Zhu Zhenguo, you all recognize it, lest the water wash away the Dragon King Temple, and the family does not know the family." Zhu Xiong said as he gestured in front of Zhu Zhenguo.

Zhu Zhenguo didn't expect that this Zhu Xiong would introduce himself on such an occasion. However, it also makes sense, since you want to recognize the new authentic lineage, it is very appropriate to introduce the occasion at this time, and the characters of the rivers and lakes of the north and south rivers are basically here.

But this Zhu Xiong didn't expect that when he introduced, the sound of underground buzzing and discussion immediately sounded.

Thank you again for the big reward of Mom Chicken, and thank you for the monthly ticket of the students of Jianfeng Express. (To be continued.) )
