Chapter 267 The Returning Reader

Midsummer is coming to an end, but for Jiangnan, the time of midsummer is a bit long, and autumn will come a little later.

Halfway up the mountain, there is a courtyard, and on the mountain road, two young people, a man and a woman, are walking together, walking towards the courtyard, and also towards the way home.

After returning from Da Zhou, Zhong Nan's face was a little more romantic, probably because Xiao Zizhen accompanied him.

A scholar who travels all over the world, when he returns home, can bring back a beautiful girl like a flower, which is also the dream of many readers.

Zhong Nam was wearing a green shirt, and this time, he was still carrying his bookcase and carrying this cheap iron sword.

Xiao Zizhen is wearing a pink dress, and the road in the mountains is really a bit bumpy for a girl's family, but Xiao Zizhen is used to it, and she traveled with Zhong Nan to Daqin and Dazhou, so that Xiao Zizhen gradually realized that Zhong Nan's heart actually buried a perfect world.

The weeds on both sides of the road seemed to have been artificially cleaned up, and Zhong Nan had some doubts in his heart.

He whispered to Xiao Zizhen: "When I was very young, my mother left with a rich family because she disliked the family because she was too poor. ”

"When I was fifteen years old, my father met an aunt from nowhere, and he had a second encounter with that aunt. ”

"After the aunt married her father, she lived a very happy life, although she came to our house with a son and a daughter, but my father never cared about it, maybe he met the right person, no matter how embarrassed that person was, he would also feel that that person was the most beautiful existence in the world. ”

"Later, when I was sixteen years old, my aunt had a serious illness and spent all the family's savings, and my father probably struggled a little. ”

"Then he said to me, your aunt and I are leaving, and this annex is left to you, which can be regarded as an inheritance left to you by my father, and the future road depends on you. ”

"I haven't seen my father since, and I don't know where he followed the aunt. ”

"Then, I started a journey around the world, the initial plan was to meet my father and mother on the way, but I met teachers and friends, I regretted in my heart, but it was inevitable and I gained a lot. ”

"Walk a little longer, and you'll be able to reach that yard. ”

Xiao Zizhen listened quietly, and after Zhong Nan finished speaking, Xiao Zizhen said gently: "It's okay, where we are, everywhere in the world is home." ”

Zhong Nan smiled shyly, after returning from the Great Zhou, Zhong Nan also oriented, on the way, I also heard that the martial prince concubine who helped him quarrel is not bad in Cangyun City now, and when the time comes, he can take his own girl to take refuge with the martial prince.

Thinking about it, Zhong Nan is not so confident in his talent and ability, but he always feels that he should be a barely useful person.

It is barely useful to the concubine of King Wu.

It's also barely useful to the king's society.

Soon after, he came to the gate of the courtyard, and at the door there were two small donkeys with saddles on them.

The courtyard was clean and clean, and there was a sound of laughter from time to time.

Zhong Nan's face was a little ugly for the first time, and he walked into the courtyard with Xiao Zizhen, the house was still the same as before, and the rockery and pond were still the same as before.

But there shouldn't be anyone in there.

Even so, Zhong Nan didn't think about pulling out his sword blade.

In the lobby, a middle-aged couple and a few young people were having lunch, chatting about some gossip about the recent martial princes, looking happy.

Before he knew it, Zhong Nam had come to the door of the hall.

At first, a young man in his twenties noticed Zhong Nan, and then there was no sound at the dinner table.

The middle-aged couple got up one after another, stepped down from the dining table, and came to the door of the hall, standing behind the threshold without stepping out of the room.

The middle-aged man was dressed in a simple cloth shirt, his figure was a little weak, and his face was barely delicate, and he was a little unhappy when he saw Zhong Nan coming back.

He asked in a deep voice, "Didn't you travel all over the world, why did you come back again?"

Zhong Nan said: "Well, it's back, you live in my house, I'm afraid something is wrong, second uncle." ”

The second uncle looked at Zhong Nan with disdain, and scolded: "When you left, I didn't think about giving your grandparents a pension, so I left alone, and then your grandfather had a serious illness, and in desperation, I had to sell my title deed and give your grandfather a doctor, but your grandfather still didn't come back from the ghost gate, and afterwards, your grandma also died without a problem." ”

"Your Lao Tzu is the eldest son in the family, so irresponsible to follow a foreign woman to leave his hometown, and did not come back, we have removed the ancestral hall, this courtyard, was also built for your grandfather when he was young. ”

"Now, it's ours, after your Lao Tzu was removed from the ancestral hall, you, naturally, were also removed from the ancestral hall, in the future, go their own way, why should you come back. ”

Zhong Nan is very calm in his heart, he can understand his father, but his father is indeed an irresponsible son.

Zhong Nan said: "If I'm not mistaken, when the family was separated, my father just divided a small earthen house, this courtyard, but he built it at his own expense, and it doesn't have much to do with my grandfather. ”

The second instance was immediately unhappy, pointed at Zhong Nan's nose and scolded: "Then have you ever thought about it, after your Lao Tzu leaves, and you also leave, who will serve your grandparents and urine, and send them to the end of their lives, and who will preside over the personal contacts in the family." ”

"It's all in the family, you and your old son, what contributions have you made to the family, and you are not an idle eater. ”

In this way, even Zhong Nan himself feels that he is at a loss.

Even if the family in the second aunt's mouth is actually a very dilapidated portal, she knows in her heart that the second uncle is here to make a fortune.

But Zhong Nan has no way to theorize.

He remembered Yuan Zheng, if Yuan Zheng encountered this kind of thing, he should also quarrel with others.

But Zhong Nan is really not a person who is good at quarrelling.

He asked, "So, uncle and aunt, are you really going to occupy my courtyard and not let me in?"

The second uncle raised his hand and slapped towards Zhong Nan, Zhong Nan did not dodge, let his second uncle slap his face, and at that moment, Zhong Nan's delicate face left a blood-red slap print.

Seeing that Zhong Nan didn't dodge, the second uncle chuckled in his heart, and the few young people next to him, who were also Zhong Nan's cousins and cousins, saw this, and their hearts also fluctuated.

The second uncle asked with some surprise, "Why don't you stay away?"

Zhong Nandao: "You are my second uncle, you should beat me, and it is true that you have given your grandparents a pension, I have nothing to say." ”

"But it's not right that you've occupied my compound. ”

Xiao Zizhen was a little distressed on the side, she knew Zhong Nan best, and knew that Zhong Nan was a very flexible person, but in the face of her relatives, that flexibility was not so easy to use.

The accounts between relatives are never clear.

Grandparents, Zhong Nan really hasn't met a few times, since his mother left, Zhong Nan and his father have had a difficult life, and their grandparents have also ignored them.

Sometimes, people are poor and their parents are not close, and that's it.

As for the second uncle, life could only be said to be barely passable at that time, and the grandparents also gave a lot of private money to the second uncle, and there were many dissatisfaction with Zhong Nan's father.

Probably because Zhong Nan's father was in dire straits.

Zhong Nan knew all these things in his heart, but he didn't say it, just because he was a junior.

The second uncle said angrily: "Do you have to slap me a few more times before you are willing to leave?"

Zhong Nan said calmly: "I was slapped by you, that's because you are my second uncle, after this slap comes down, you are no longer my second uncle, our family has long fallen apart, when my father was there, the second uncle was submissive to my father, and when my father was away, the second uncle dared to slap me. ”

"If you continue to do it, I may fight back, I hope the second uncle will think twice. ”

The second uncle smiled happily. "There are four or five of us here, don't you think we can't beat the two of you?"

Xiao Zizhen clenched her delicate little fist, and couldn't wait to punch Zhong Nan's second uncle now.

Zhong Nan said without sorrow or joy: "You can try." ”

The second uncle immediately shouted: "Let's go up together and beat this bastard out!"

A few young men, like the second uncle, raised their fists and rushed towards Zhong Nan, just because Zhong Nan was alone, they dared to do something like this.

Suddenly, dozens of sword qi appeared on Zhong Nan's body, the sword light was peaceful, the avenue was simple, and a forest sword domain appeared around Zhong Nan.

Seeing this, the second uncle and a few young men turned pale with fright, and they never thought that this cheap bone, after traveling all over the world, they really learned the real skills.

The second aunt hurriedly said on the side: "He is your second uncle, is it possible that you have to fight in the same room for the sake of a courtyard, and it is a big rebellion?"

Zhong Nan only needs to think about it, and the second uncle and cousins will be strangled into nothingness by Sen Ran's sword array.

He practiced the Holy Dao Sword, but he didn't want to kill anyone.

During his travels, he didn't kill a single person.

He said, "Go away, I won't embarrass you." ”

The second uncle was stunned, then snorted coldly, and returned to the house, all the things that should be cleaned up, even if there were a few things that were not their own, they were also cleaned up.

Zhong Nan stood at the door of the hall, waiting for the second uncle and them to leave from him, Zhong Nan felt that the world was so sad.

When there were more people, the world naturally quieted down.

Xiao Zizhen said: "Let's go in and do it." ”

Zhong Nan looked at the courtyard built by his father, which was the family property left by his father, even if he took it back now, Zhong Nan's heart was still very uncomfortable.

Then Zhong Nan smiled and said with a smile: "I think, now I don't need to rely on what my father left behind to live." ”

Xiao Zizhen was shocked and said, "What do you mean?"

Zhong Nan said slowly: "If the second uncle is really in difficulty, I can give them this courtyard, but it is their fault to make a fortune, this time when I come back, I originally wanted to live here with you for a while, and then go to Cangyun City in the west." ”

"But I changed my mind, I'm going to burn here, this courtyard is no longer the original home, but a place of complete right and wrong, the second uncle's heart must be unconvinced, he may want to think about how to retaliate against me, but there is no way, this is the sophistication of human feelings." ”

"I thought that I should be able to earn a lot of money in the future and build us a big courtyard. ”

Xiao Zizhen thought for a while, then nodded obediently, and snuggled up to Zhong Nan's much broader shoulders, very satisfied.

But he couldn't help but say: "This is what your father left for you, do you really bear to burn it?"

For his father and mother, Zhong Nan has a lot of helplessness in his heart.

But fortunately, when his father left, the legacy left to Zhong Nan also made Zhong Nan enter the circle of scholars.

Zhong Nan has always buried these things in his heart, and he is reluctant to say anything.

But Xiao Zizhen was an accident, probably, and the only one.

He said: "As a southerner, in fact, my heart is no longer a real southerner, this courtyard, maybe there are some problems in feng shui, there is no way for you and me to live here." ”

"I never knew what my father and mother were thinking. ”

"But, I know very well that my father doesn't need this compound, and I don't need it anymore. ”

In fact, Zhong Nan's heart has never been sad, he has already seen through many things.

The only thing that makes him uncomfortable is that his parents are not as normal as other people's parents.

Xiao Zizhen smiled slightly: "Really, I finally returned here, I thought I could rest for a while, but I didn't expect you to burn here again, we don't have much silver on us, after burning here, there is no place to live." ”

Zhong Nan said softly: "It's okay, after burning here, I'll help others write letters and earn some ration money, and then you and I will continue to travel around the world as before, but this time, you don't need to go anywhere, just go to Cangyun City." ”

"After going there, I thought, I should be able to make a decent living. ”

Xiao Zizhen said obediently: "It's just a joke, what you like to do, you can do it, as long as you are at ease." ”
