Chapter 11: The Old Mansion Party
Several guards guarding the door of the Zhang family's old mansion didn't know Zhang Tie, and when they saw Zhang Tie walking over empty-handed with two legs thrown alone, the guards stopped Zhang Tie, and the woman sitting in the car and the car were put in by the guards very smoothly.
The car drove in, Zhang Tie was still standing at the door of the old mansion, and the woman looked back with interest.
"Nana, you are a girl, why are you so rude to stare at a man casually, today is the 70th birthday of the old lady of the Zhang family, you can't be as wild as before, your Aunt Xue will introduce a few talents of the younger generation of the Zhang family to you today." Sitting next to the girl is a graceful and luxurious Chinese woman in her forties with her hair coiled, the woman's face is similar to the girl, and it is well maintained, and the string of superb purple beads worn by the woman's neck and the emerald green bracelet on her hand are all heirloom jewelry, this qiē, are silently showing the identity of the woman.
"This Jinhai City Zhang family, in recent years, it has become more and more prosperous, a few years ago, this Zhang family and our Wang family are still a few points behind, in recent years, the Zhang family has flourished in Jinhai City, the asset scale of the Zhangjia Xinghe Shipyard has jumped to more than 10 million gold coins, jumping from the third place in Jinhai City to the second place, this Zhang family's old man Zhang Haitian is indeed a character!" A man in his forties and fifties with glasses sitting next to the woman looked at the lively scene of the old house outside the car and said softly.
"I heard that the Golden Crow Merchant Group seems to have a way to get the full potion of potions, and even the business of the Changfeng Merchant Group can be intervened. It's also the property of this family! Speaking of the full potion, the lady's eyes lit up at once.
The man frowned slightly, "That Golden Crow Merchant Group doesn't seem to have much to do with the Zhang family's old mansion. There is not much business contact between the two sides, but Zhang Yang, the head of the Jinwu Business Group, is indeed the grandson of the old man Zhang Haitian! ”
"What's going on? Didn't the old mansion of the Zhang family occupy a stake in the Jinwu merchant group? The woman was slightly surprised.
"Hehe, Mr. Zhang Haitian has four wives, eleven children, dozens of grandchildren, and many grandchildren are now married. With such a big family, it's normal to have a little problem, and every family has a scripture that is difficult to read. Our family is different! The man chuckled softly.
The woman stopped talking.
The girl sitting in the car stuck out her tongue.
Today's old house of the Zhang family is indeed lively, and the luxury cars are parked on the road 100 meters away from the old house. There is the housekeeper of the Zhang family's old house, directing the servants to guide the drivers of the guests to park the car. And bring the guests to the old mansion.
The girl got out of the car, but couldn't help but look back, the guy was still standing at the door waiting, but there was a guard who walked quickly to this side, and when he met a guard of the old house, he leaned into the guard's ear and said a few words, and the guard heard it, and hurriedly walked towards the gate.
……
Zhang Tie waited patiently at the door for a few minutes. During this period, two more good cars drove into the Zhang family's old house. Today's old mansion of the Zhang family seems to be very lively, and there are not so many people here in normal times.
After a few minutes, Zhang Tie saw a guard from the mansion with a somewhat familiar face hurriedly approaching.
"Ah, Young Master Zhang Tie...... "That guard had seen Zhang Tie, and when he saw Zhang Tie, he was also surprised, he didn't expect Zhang Tie to appear at this time, he hurriedly asked those guards to put Zhang Tie in, "Ah, these guards are all newcomers recruited by the old mansion, Young Master Zhang Tie, you haven't been here for a long time, these guards haven't seen you, and please don't ......be surprised by Young Master Zhang Tie."
If you eat the bowl of rice of the guard, if you hurt the family of the master's family, then this bowl of rice will not be able to be eaten no matter what, and the old man will not leave such a guard to continue in the old house, which is a big taboo.
Hearing what the guards in the house said, the two guards who had just blocked Zhang Tie from letting Zhang Tie in also hurriedly apologized to Zhang Tie.
"It's okay, it's okay, you are also performing your duties, and with a guard like you, the old man can live here at ease......" Zhang Tie said with a smile, not minding at all.
Hearing Zhang Tie so kind, the two guards who didn't recognize Zhang Tie were relieved, and said in their hearts, I didn't expect this grandson of the old man to have such a good temper, it's just that the other grandsons of the old man came here one by one in luxury cars, and they hugged each other one by one, very magnificent, this person came in a taxi, it seems that he didn't mix well in the Zhang family, and on an occasion like today, he came in a samurai uniform, which also seemed a little casual......
The guard who knew Zhang Tie didn't say anything to the new guard, but respectfully led the way in front and took Zhang Tie to the old mansion.
"It's lively here today, what's going on?" Zhang Tie asked the guard.
"Today is the 70th birthday of the eldest lady, in order to celebrate the birthday of the eldest lady, there are more people from the old house!"
"Ah, is Zhang Su here?" Zhang Tie didn't expect that he would catch up with such a day.
Although Zhang Su and Zhang Tie both stayed in Qianlong Hall, but the two of them, that is, they had only met a few times, and later, as Zhang Su went out to perform family tasks, Zhang Tie left Qianlong Hall after the battle in Tianhan City, and in the past five years, the two of them have not met again.
"Young Master Zhang Su came here yesterday......"
Zhang Tie thought about it, Zhang Su is the grandson of the eldest lady, this eldest lady is 70th birthday, and it makes sense for Zhang Su to take the time to come.
Along the way, looking at the cars parked, Zhang Tie knew that there would be no fewer people coming to the old mansion today.
When he came to the door of the old mansion, Zhang Tie asked the guards to leave, and walked in himself.
……
The old house of the Zhang family is also newly furnished today, it seems extraordinarily jubilant, there are many people gathered in the hall of the old house, there are men and women, old and young, there are about more than 200 people, everyone gathers into a pile of chatting, in addition to the people of the Zhang family, many are guests, and can come to the old house of the Zhang family at this time to celebrate the birthday of the eldest lady, most of them are relatives and friends of the Zhang family, as well as the people with faces in Jinhai City. These characters, the men are well-dressed. Women are all bejeweled, and men and women are divided into different circles to communicate.
As soon as Zhang Tie entered the hall, he saw Zhang Su.
Zhang Su was in a small hall next to the hall. was chatting with people, a large number of young people from sixteen or seventeen to their twenties, both men and women, everyone gathered around Zhang Su, like stars and moons, around him and listening to Zhang Su talking.
Zhang Su was wearing a lieutenant colonel uniform of Jin Yunguo, extremely heroic and extraordinary, among those young people. Many women looked at Zhang Su's eyes with stars one after another, and the men also showed reverence, when Zhang Su said something. There were also a few sixteen or seventeen-year-old girls who couldn't help but cover their mouths with their hands and let out an exclamation.
Compared with five years ago, Zhang Su at this moment seems more mature and confident, and the whole person has a sense of majesty.
Zhang Tie just glanced at Zhang Su. judged Zhang Su's current level. Level ten, it seems that over the years, Zhang Su's progress has not been slow. Of course, this is not slow, it is only relative to the other people in Huaiyuantang, if it is compared to the pride of the sky like Lan Yunxi, it is naturally slower, and compared with Zhang Tie, a demon who is constantly in a strange relationship. That one is completely incomparable, don't say Zhang Su. In the entire Weiyi subcontinent, there is no one who can become a knight at Zhang Tie's age.
But even so, a person who has been promoted to level ten, no matter where he is, can be regarded as an elite and backbone, the killer of the Zhen family who was sent to Qianlong Island by Tianhan City to kill Zhang Tie at the beginning is the level of level ten, and the military uniform and rank on Zhang Su's body also show the status he has at the moment.
Zhang Su seemed to feel something, he turned his head and saw Zhang Tie.
A smile appeared on Zhang Tie's face.
Zhang Su was slightly stunned, and then suddenly stood up with some excitement, ignored the people surrounding him, and strode towards Zhang Tie.
As Zhang Su got up, the people around him turned their eyes to Zhang Tie.
Among those people, some of them were Zhang Tie's cousins and cousins, and they had seen Zhang Tie in the old mansion a few years ago, and they had some vague impressions of Zhang Tie, while the young people among the guests did not know Zhang Tie.
"Ah, who is this person, I don't seem to have seen it before!" A young man asked a member of the Zhang family beside him.
"Well, his name is Zhang Tie, and he is a cousin in the family!" The man replied faintly.
The name of Zhang Tie's Eagle of Cernes, in addition to being loud in the troops stationed in Huaiyuantang to Cernes, in the entire Huaiyuan County, not many people know about it, because this honor of the honorary title, which is more popular among the Xibo people, is not too valued among the Chinese, and the Chinese themselves have their own criteria for judging honors. The information about Zhang Tie is basically still in the surprise caused by Zhang Tie's expulsion from Qianlong Hall a year and a half ago, and the old man is tepid about Zhang Tie's expulsion from Qianlong Hall, and some of his peers below are regretful, and some are secretly gloating.
"Cousin!" Zhang Su walked in front of him, and Zhang Tie called out in a proper manner.
"You're still alive?" Zhang Su's face was filled with an excited look, his eyes were slightly red, and his whole person revealed his true feelings, "The last time I went back to Qianlong Island, I heard about you from Senior Brother Liu Xu, I thought ...... Thought it was ......"
Looking at Zhang Su's natural expression of emotion, Zhang Tie's heart was also warm, when he was in Qianlong Hall, he had already known that his cousin was a little arrogant, but on the whole, he was a cold-faced and hot-hearted person, and he was quite responsible and decisive.
Zhang Tie didn't say anything, just hugged Zhang Su tightly.
In terms of blood, the two are brothers, in Qianlong Hall, the two are brothers, when the holy war came, Zhang Tie resisted the demon clan in Cernes, Zhang Su cleared the demon disaster in Qi Lan country, and the two of them were comrades who fought together for the human race back to back, this relationship, plus some common experiences that the two had when they were on Qianlong Island, there are many words, needless to say, just in this hug, they patted each other on the back a few times, it was enough.
Zhang Tie was not conspicuous in the old mansion, and even when he walked into the old mansion, few people noticed, but Zhang Su was recognized as the pillar of the next generation of the Zhang family on the old mansion, attracting the attention of a lot of people all the time, and the two of them were full of affection at the door of the hall. Immediately, everyone turned their attention away, and there was a housekeeper who knew Zhang Tie's old mansion, after seeing Zhang Tie coming. hurriedly went to tell the old man of the Zhang family.
Hugging apart, Zhang Su adjusted his feelings, took a deep breath, and walked towards the back hall with Zhang Tie.
"The old man has been talking about you recently, and the old man also knows about your affairs in the Cernes war zone, and there has been no news of you for the past year. The old man has been very worried, and he must be very happy to know that you can come today......"
Zhang Tie smiled. didn't say much, but followed Zhang Su into the back hall, and before the two of them arrived in the back hall, they saw the old man walk out in person. See Zhang Tie. The old man was very happy, and when he came over, he grabbed Zhang Tie's hand and didn't let go.
"Okay, good, just come back, just come back......"
Behind the old man was the eldest lady of the old mansion, who wore a purple skirt with golden silk sauce today, and her forehead was decorated with an egg-sized green jade. Holding a gorgeous crystal Ruyi in his hand, it looks very graceful. Rich and powerful, although she has lived her seventieth birthday, the eldest lady's hair is only one-third whiter, and the whole person looks like a person in her fifties, and she does not look old at all.
"I just went back to Huaiyuan County last night, I didn't know that today was the eldest lady's 70th birthday, I didn't prepare any gifts, and I asked the eldest lady not to be surprised!" Zhang Tie said calmly to the old lady.
"Su'er came back empty-handed this time, Zhang Tie, you and Su'er are both fighting for the family outside, the two of you can come back safely today, for me, it is already the best gift! The old man hasn't been so happy for a long time......" The eldest lady also said very happily, whether this is true or not, but listening to it in people's ears does make people's hearts warm.
"Did you report back to the family when you came back this time?" The old man asked with concern, and there was deep meaning in his words.
"Well, it's already reported, it's okay......"
Seeing that Zhang Tie had already reported that it was okay, the old man was completely relieved, in the old man's opinion, Zhang Tie could come back to report after being captured, and he could stand in front of him in a good manner every other day, that is, it was really fine. Otherwise, even if the captive man could come back alive, if there was a real problem, a strict scrutiny in the family would not have been avoidable.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter if young people experience a little setback, it's a big deal to start from scratch, as long as Qingshan is here, I'm not afraid of no firewood!" The old man also comforted Zhang Tie a few words, and when the old man said this, he seemed to want to ask Zhang Tie about his later experience, but when he saw that there were many people around, he kept silent
Zhang Tie smiled, and didn't explain much, in the eyes of most people, he was first expelled from Qianlong Hall, and the last news was that he was captured in Cerness, and he appeared again at this moment, thinking that his current identity must not be very glorious, the news on Yiyang Mountain is now blocked from the outside world, even if those deacons and deacon disciples know something, but they are bound by the strict rules of the family, and they don't dare to spread the things on the mountain, the entire Huaiyuan County, except for a few people, Most of the others didn't know they had been promoted to knight.
Originally, when I saw the old man Zhang Haitian and the eldest lady who was celebrating her birthday today, come out of the back hall to see Zhang Tie together, many people in the front hall were a little surprised, and many people gathered together unconsciously gathered around.
"Old man, who is this?" One of the guests asked curiously.
"This is also my grandson, who has been fighting in the Cernes War Zone with the airship troops of Jin Yun Kingdom, and he just came back today!" The old man said lightly.
The old man said, glanced at Zhang Su, Zhang Su grabbed Zhang Tie at once, and said to the people around him with a smile, "Uncles, my cousin just came back today, I want to take him to meet a few friends, and there are a few cousins over there who want to hear from my cousin how the Terrans in the Cernes War Zone compete with the demons, so I'll take him away first!" ”
"Haha...... I didn't expect that the Zhang family also has two Junyan who can compete with the demon clan, the old man is so blessed, among these grandsons, there are many all-round talents in civil and military affairs! The surrounding guests laughed, and Zhang Su also took Zhang Tie to the small hall he had just come to.
From the old man and Zhang Su's expression, Zhang Tie felt the old man's maintenance of himself, and seeing that Zhang Su and Zhang Tie got along so well, the old man was also relieved, and the smile on his face did not stop from now on.
This old man was happy, and the people in the whole old mansion. Starting with the eldest lady, everyone followed suit, even if they were unhappy. There should also be a smile on his face, and the old house of the Zhang family will be even more lively.
The young people who had just surrounded Zhang Su were indeed very interested in Zhang Tie, and as soon as Zhang Su pulled Zhang Tie over, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl immediately put her curious eyes on Zhang Tie, Zhang Tie at this moment, although he was already in his twenties. But it seems that she is about the same age as the little girl.
The little girl who felt that she had met her peers immediately asked Zhang Tie with great interest what he was doing in the Cernes War Zone and what his military rank was.
"I was in the Cernes Theater of Operations, fighting with the airship unit. Responsible for piloting gliders, sergeant ranks! Zhang Tie replied solemnly - the only air cavalry in Cernes was indeed fighting with the airship troops, and his rank. He is indeed a sergeant.
Zhang Su turned his head. As if he wanted to say something, Zhang Tie winked at him, thinking that Zhang Tie didn't want to mention the matter of the Cernes War Zone here again, so Zhang Su kept silent and let Zhang Tie fool the little girl.
"Ah......" As soon as she heard Zhang Tie's answer, the little girl's eyes immediately showed a look of disappointment, originally looking at Zhang Su and the old man of the Zhang family's attitude towards Zhang Tie, the little girl thought that this was an important person. Unexpectedly, it was a little soldier driving a glider, not just the little girl. Even the curious eyes of several young women around him quietly moved away from Zhang Tie. The people in their circle, although many people are young, but under the influence of their ears, many people can know from a young age what kind of people are valuable to them. There is no doubt that a sergeant who can only fly gliders in the Cernes theater of operations is clearly not what their channel should be focusing on.
"Then what were you doing before you joined the army, I see that your age, it seems that you are not yet eighteen years old, how can you go to serve?" The little girl finally asked a curious question.
"I used to spend a few days in Qianlong Hall, only to be expelled later, but I can barely be considered a qualified warrior!" Zhang Tie continued to speak seriously.
Hearing this answer, even the few men around him who didn't know Zhang Tie were completely speechless - it turned out to be a guy who couldn't get along in Qianlong Hall.
……
Zhang Tie was clear, smiled at Zhang Su, and then took a glass of wine, sat in the corner of the small hall, and quietly listened to the young people in the room chatting.
He didn't expect that today would be the birthday of the eldest lady, originally he wanted to come to the old mansion to visit the old man and leave, but now it seems that he can't leave if he doesn't stay here until dinner, and if he leaves now, it's too impersonal, so wait.
Zhang Tie listened to others chatting and drinking wine, and in the sea of knowledge, he had already visualized four golden abacus at the same time, performing different four operations.
Zhang Tie had been proficient in dual-purpose before, but now, after being promoted to knight, under the surge of spiritual power, he began to try to divide one of his ideas from two of the single-minded and dual-purpose into four, and began to control the different abacus.
This kind of difficult attempt is actually similar to Zhang Tie's previous attempt to visualize two abacus, both of which are from one to two.
When he could use two minds, Zhang Tie actually felt the huge value of "Zhu Xin Shen Shu", but Zhang Tie knew better that the value of "Zhu Xin Shen Shu" was far more than that.
The greater the number of abacus that is visualized, the more obvious the effect of "Zhu Xin Shen Shu" on the improvement of mental power, when visualizing two abacus, the effect of "Zhu Xin Shen Shu" on the improvement of mental power has been twice that of visualizing one abacus, and after successfully visualizing four abacus, the effect of "Zhu Xin Shen Shu" on the improvement of mental power has become four times.
Originally, the effect of "Zhu Xin Shen Shu" on the improvement of spiritual power was very limited, which can be described as very rare, and after this effect could be increased by four times, unconsciously, Zhang Tie felt that "Zhu Xin Shen Shu" might have an effect comparable to that of some spiritual power secret methods.
If you visualize eight, sixteen, or thirty-two, then what will be the effect of "Zhu Xin Shen Shuan" on the cultivation of spiritual power?
As soon as he thought of that prospect, Zhang Tie was vaguely excited in his heart.
And this is indeed not the only effect of "Zhu Xin Shen Arithmetic", the most important effect of "Zhu Xin Shen Shu" is actually distraction......
After one of your own thoughts can be divided more and more, from being able to use two things for one heart to being able to use four things for one heart and eight things...... What will happen then?
Zhang Tie faintly has a feeling that "Zhu Xin Shen Arithmetic" will be able to play a terrifying value that no one could have imagined in the end......
……
I don't know when, a fragrant wind appeared beside Zhang Tie, smelling the fragrance that was not unfamiliar, Zhang Tie sighed, is that woman again?
"Please, can you stay away from me, let's pretend we don't know, okay?" Zhang Tie stopped cultivating and sighed helplessly.
"I feel like you're just fooling the little girl, do you think I'm right, how can a guy like you be so honest?" The woman whispered to Zhang Tie.
Zhang Tie raised his eyes and glanced at the woman in a gorgeous lady's dress, and the woman's eyes flashed with a kind of brilliance, that brilliance, very dangerous, just like a naughty child who found something very interesting.
"So what?" Zhang Tie raised his chin slightly, "Are you coming to bite me?" ”
"Otherwise, what are you like in the Cernes war zone, you tell me, I promise not to tell anyone else!" The woman named Nana showed a curious look from a little girl.
For such a naïve Jianyì, Zhang Tie's response was to roll his eyes directly and ignore it.
"How can you say it, or we'll race again, and if you lose, you'll have to listen to me!" The woman rolled her eyes and said slyly.
"Little girl, your mother called you, hurry up and see your future Ruyi Langjun, if you are rebellious in adolescence, it would be good to drag racing, no matter how many ear piercings you have in your ears, it doesn't matter how many ear piercings you have, anyway, your family is rich, just smear some high-grade recovery medicine, and you can pretend to be your lady on such an occasion, remember to give your husband a few more children after getting married, and it can be regarded as making some contribution to the human race, take the children at home every day to walk the dog and do hair or something, just be your young grandmother, that war, many people will die, It's really not something you can mix, and you must not have any interest in fighting, if you want to listen to the story, read the knight novel! ”
The woman was dumbfounded, she looked along Zhang Tie's chin and saw her mother and Aunt Xue standing in the distance with a man in his twenties wearing a dress, his mother was looking at herself worriedly, and motioned to her with her eyes, he ...... How did he know that the piercings on his ears were smeared with high-grade restorative potion.
This bastard!
……
However, Zhang Tie still miscalculated the ruthlessness of this woman, and under the gaze of two women and a man over there, this woman actually didn't realize it, but sat down very ladylike on a sofa next to her, didn't say anything, but smiled sweetly at herself, and then put her two arms on the armrests of the sofa, leaned sideways, looked at herself with a pestle on her cheeks, and looked at herself with an obsessive face, her eyes were full of affection.
It's like a painting.
Soon, Zhang Tie felt the lethality of this woman, first the man who was waiting for her over there cast a burning look with jealousy on himself, and then, even a few young people in this room shifted their eyes to himself, and even the girls who had lost interest in him began to look at him with surprised eyes again.
Zhang Su also had a strange face, and said in his heart that his cousin was too good, when he was in Heiyan City, he was able to have dozens of girlfriends and confidantes at the same time without saying a word, and he could also get all those women back to Huaiyuan County in a friendly manner, so he sat here for a while, and he was so low-key that he couldn't do it, how could he make this daughter of the Wang family look fascinated...... (To be continued......)
