When the voice began, a woman who looked to be no more than twenty years old, wearing an elegant ink-colored silk skirt, and a beautiful appearance, walked into the wooden building side by side with a tall man with a short beard on his chin.

Behind the two of them there was a couple, delicate and lovely, with eight or ninety percent similarities between their eyebrows, just a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy with pink makeup and a woman and a seven- or eight-year-old boy.

When Zhang Qihe saw the stunning woman enter the door, his face sank like water and stopped talking, and the other people around him also looked at each other with different expressions and stopped making a sound, and Nuan Ge suddenly fell into a strange silence.

The stunning woman seemed to be unaware of all this, and strolled to the table with the tall man, and said in unison to Zhang Maosong: "Father has been working hard for many days, working hard for the family and business. ”

After they finished saluting, the three teenagers and children behind them also bowed down and said, "Grandfather has worked hard, and grandchildren have given you greetings." ”

Seeing this scene, Zhang Maosong's eyes flashed with a rare warmth, and he smiled and said, "Okay, okay, you little people don't want to be like adults." Saying that, he seemed to remember something again, his face stiffened slightly, pointed to Zhang Huansheng beside him, and said to the three teenagers and children: "This is your eldest brother who has been exiled and has now recognized his ancestors and returned to his ancestors, Zhang Huansheng." ”

After that, he pointed to the three teenagers and children, and said to Zhang Huansheng: "This is your brother-in-law's brother and sister."

The twins are named Zhang Fenghua and Zhang Chengguan, and the younger one is called Zhang Qiangqi, let's see each other. ”

When the words landed, Zhang Huansheng, who was pretending to be an identity, stood up, smiled at the three teenagers and children, and bowed silently.

Seeing this, the three teenagers and children looked at each other, twisted and pinched, reluctantly bowed to Zhang Huansheng, and said in unison, "Brother An's good." Finally, he barely managed to perform this live drama of brothers, friends and brothers.

And after the children finished the ceremony, Zhang Maosong pointed to the tall man and the stunning woman, and said to Zhang Huansheng: "He is your father, Zhang Rong."

When your biological mother and maternal ancestor were displaced in the war and could not be found, your father married the daughter of the Du family, the emperor of Beijing, and took her as his wife. ”

"Yes." Hearing this, Zhang Huansheng, who pretended to be a disciple of Xiongjing Zhang's family and had received great benefits, could only hold the mood of repaying his debts, and saluted dryly to the stunning woman and tall man who met for the first time: "Father and mother are fine." ”

According to human common sense, not to mention Du Wuyi, who has no blood relationship with Zhang Huansheng openly or secretly, Zhang Zhu alone saw his in-law and child who had been separated for more than ten years appear in front of him, even if he didn't burst into tears, he couldn't help himself with excitement.

But the reality is completely different from this, and he glanced at Zhang Huansheng with his eyes, and Zhang Ryu only responded lightly, "You have a heart." Then he sat down with his wife and children, as if he had just seen two people with the surname.

When the others saw him behave like this, some showed expressions that should be so, while others frowned unconsciously, and the atmosphere in the banquet was even more embarrassing.

The person who eats a meal is ignorant, like sitting on pins and needles, but fortunately, nothing really happened to lose face after all.

After this family banquet, Zhang Huansheng officially integrated into Xiong Jing Zhang's family and met with many of his 'family members'.

Therefore, I also knew that at this time, the Zhang family advocated that the brothers of Maosong's generation, regardless of their concubines and concubines, had already separated and stood on their own, and all the sisters had already married.

It is only Zhang Maosong himself who is his contemporary, and his old wife who has been cultivating for a long time and does not easily leave the quiet room, and the four concubines still live in the ancestral house of the Zhang family.

And in the next generation, Zhang Zhu is the eldest son, and now he is a four-grade school in the Xiong Kyoto Army.

In addition to him, the Zhang family also has two sons and two daughters, namely Zhang Huan, who served as a six-rank city patrol officer in the Xiong Kyoto Yazhong, who is only twenty-one years old, Zhang Qi, who is still studying and practicing in the Guozi Prison, and Zhang Wanyu and Zhang Yiyue, two sisters in the boudoir.

Of course, in addition to these descendants, there are also eight sons and six daughters, named Zhang Ji, Zhang Xun, Zhang Xuan... And so on, because the identity is much cheaper than that of the lineage, most of them have no serious errands, only Zhang Ji and Zhang Xun have official bodies.

And this generation of the Zhang family, except for the married concubines, still live in the ancestral house of the Zhang family, enjoying the life of fine clothes and food, but according to the family rules, after Zhang Zhu inherits the position of the head of the family, all the men of the same generation will be swept away immediately, and the family will be separated.

Counting down from this generation, the descendants of Xiong Jing Zhang's family are only the impostor Zhang Huansheng, Zhang Fenghua, Zhang Chengguan, Zhang Qiangqi's three sisters and brothers, as well as Zhang Huan and Zhang Qi's third sons and second daughters, except for those children who came out of the concubine, it is difficult to accumulate them one by one.

And in this door, regardless of men, women, old and young, according to etiquette, the most honorable people are Zhang Maosong, Zhang Zhu and Zhang Huansheng.

In the land of Yan and Huang, the distinction between the eldest son and the concubine, the eldest son and the other descendants of the family, is so clear and cruel.

It's just that for Zhang Huansheng, what kind of lineage, concubine, eldest son, second son is meaningless at all.

After all, no matter how honorable and noble this Xiongjing Zhang family is, it is also because of the imperial power of Great Chu to become prominent, and in Zhang Huansheng's view, this kind of wealth in the hands of people is simply rootless, and only their own strength can really rely on it.

After returning to the side courtyard where he lived from the main courtyard, Zhang Huansheng still did not go out of the gate, did not step through the two doors, practiced every day, and did not take his fake identity as the eldest son of Xiong Jing Zhang to heart at all.

But unfortunately, the tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, and no matter how it behaves, its very existence is already an obstacle that must be overcome for some people and certain things.

At dusk on this day, the brilliant sunset sprinkled the earth, reflecting everything golden.

In a manor built by the mountains and rivers thirty miles away on the outskirts of Xiongjing City, there are four people sitting in the lakeside pavilion, and the only woman among them is the future head of the Zhang family in Xiongjing, Zhang Rong's wife, Du Wuyi.

The other three are a thin old man with gray hair and sharp eyes, one is a middle-aged man dressed as a literati, with an elegant temperament and long black hair, and the other is a middle-aged man with a shrewd face and facial features.

At this time, the middle-aged man was gritting his teeth and said: "Father, in the past fifteen years, our Du family has invested in Xiongjing Zhang's gold beads for nothing in order to raise the family's character, but now because of a romantic past when Zhang Ryu was a teenager, his previous efforts have been wasted.

and became a laughing stock, I really, really felt as sad as a fire. ”
