CHAPTER XXIX
"Father, what you said is true?" Chu Yang looked at Chu Ping with a frown.
"Will I lie to you about this kind of thing?" Chu Ping said as a matter of course.
Chu Yang sighed and said, "In other words, isn't it a joke this time?"
"Of course. β
"Can I say no?"
Chu Ping shook his head and said, "I'm afraid this is very difficult, the strength of the Yuanqing Dart Bureau is much larger than our family, and this marriage contract is proposed by us, if we refuse it, it will make them very angry." β
The smile on Chu Yang's face couldn't help but turn into a wry smile, this should be a banquet to celebrate his advancement, why is there so much trouble?
"Father, you should have prepared their message, right?"
"That's for sure. Chu Ping reached out and took out three pieces of paper full of black characters in his arms and handed them to Chu Yang.
"That's all I can find about them. β
Chu Yang didn't speak again, but put his attention on the paper in his hand. It is full of details of the Yuanqing Dart Bureau, the largest dart bureau in the capital, is a spiritual cultivator and a martial arts cultivation two brothers formed together, the strength is strong, there are three martial arts cultivators in the Gang Realm, and a spiritual cultivation in the Quenching Soul Realm, which is also specially marked at least on the surface to know that there are these four high-end forces, and the number of people in the next realm is not less than fifty, this kind of strength of the force, if you want to target the Chu family, it is not too simple.
Of course, there is also information about the girl who made a marriage contract with herself, Miao Ying, nineteen years old, the daughter of the fourth chief dart head of the Yuanqing Dart Bureau, is also a martial arts cultivator, perhaps it is more correct to say that it is a martial arts genius, born with divine power, fourteen years old, and now it is already a martial arts cultivation at the peak of the pulse realm, such a good talent, naturally someone has already mentioned it, but this Miss Miao let out the words, if you want to marry her, one must be close in age, and the other must beat her, and her talent is so good, the martial arts who came to challenge failed one after another, as for spirituality, people of this age have only been condensing Yuan for a long time, and they have to consolidate the realm and accumulate auraγ
"Whew. Chu Yang breathed a sigh of relief, after reading these materials, Chu Yang was relieved, since he wanted to marry this Miss Miao, he naturally had to beat her, so as long as he didn't fight, in fact, it seemed that he couldn't beat her, then she would definitely not be satisfied, and then let her destroy this marriage contract first.
In fact, I don't hate getting married so much, after all, although my Chu family is not a big family, but it will also live without worry about food and clothing in the future, so it is an obligation to get married and have children. However, fate will definitely not agree, this kind of thing that may delay one's cultivation, it will definitely stop it, and the way it stops it must not be what he wants to see.
Chu Yang retracted his thoughts, stretched out his hand to return the information in his hand to Chu Ping, and said, "Father, although this marriage contract has been made, I must see the other party first." β
"Actually, I have already prepared for this matter, calculate the time, maybe Miss Miao Ying should have set off from the capital to rush to us at this time, and she will be able to reach us in five days at most. β
Chu Yang smiled again when he heard this, "Since that's the case, that's good, I'll go and meet her then." β
Chu Ping felt a little strange at this time, he originally thought that Chu Yang was still a little resistant, but he didn't expect to accept it so quickly.
"Then I'll let you know, for now, let's go back to the hall first. β
"Okay. β
It's finally over, Chu Yang is relieved now, now he just needs to go to the hall to see off the guests, and this banquet is over. Too tired, is this really a banquet to celebrate yourself?
The two of them walked towards the hall again, which was not very far, and after walking for a while, they saw the door of the hall and Chu Heng leaning on the pillar in front of the door.
"Finally, you're back. Before the two approached, Chu Heng walked towards the two.
"Chu Heng, are you waiting for us here?"
"Yes, big brother, I have something to do with Chu Yang. After Chu Heng finished speaking, he said to Chu Yang again: "Speaking of which, today is your banquet, and I haven't given you a gift yet." β
Chu Yang couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, he had an ominous premonition, and immediately said, "It's okay, I'm already very happy that my uncle can come." β
Chu Heng reached out and pinched Chu Yang's shoulder, a smile appeared on his face, "It is precisely because I came to this banquet that this gift must be given." β
"That. Chu Ping said beside him, "Can you tell me what this gift is?"
"Big brother also knows that I don't like these troublesome bells and whistles the most, so I decided to take Chu Yang to experience a day of training, so that he can have a long experience, please rest assured, I will definitely ensure his safety. β
"Of course I'm very relieved about you, but this matter still needs Chu Yang's consent. β
"I ...... this time" Chu Yang wanted to refuse without saying a word, but after feeling the slight weight of the hand on his shoulder, he immediately changed his words and said: "How can I let go of such a good opportunity, of course I have to go through the experience." β
Chu Ping didn't say anything more, just nodded, and after Chu Heng got the agreement, he immediately grabbed Chu Yang's clothes and dragged him, and the whole person jumped up and stepped on the eaves to leave, and Chu Yang's whole person was just passively dragged by Chu Heng, thinking in his heart, is this really a banquet to celebrate himself today
......
In the hall of the Chu family, Chu Han stood next to the stage in the hall, surrounded by a large group of people.
"Nephew Chu Xian, in the future, my kid still hopes that you will take good care of it. β
"Uncle Li, you will lift me up when you say this, Brother Li and I will definitely need to help each other in the future, how can it be said that I take care of him?"
Someone next to him said loudly: "Chu Xian's nephew is too modest, the Chu family is the leader of our Changxing City, you are the future head of the Chu family, then the future Changxing City will naturally be dominated by you." β
Chu Han naturally responded humbly again, but what he was thinking about in his heart was what the Chu family was to other families after this banquet, how much concession he could get from them when he negotiated with other families in the future, and whether he wanted to publicize this matter to other places to increase his fame. There are still many things to consider, after all, he is the future head of the Chu family, striving for the greatest profit and pursuing the smallest loss.
"Come to think of it, in the future, Chu Xian's nephew's future achievements will definitely not be under your father Chu Ping. β
"Haha, actually, my father and I are still ......"
"Are you saying that he can surpass Brother Chu? No, he can't do it alone. β
Everyone couldn't help but be surprised, how could anyone still touch Chu Han's moldy head at this time, everyone turned to the direction where the voice came from, there was a middle-aged man standing there, and beside it stood two identical girls, who were the first to come to the Zhao family in the morning.
None of them spoke, because this man had the right to say this. The Zhao family was originally one of the four major families twenty years ago, at that time, the Chu family was just an insignificant small businessman, until the then patriarch was killed by thieves when he went out to talk about business with his wife, Chu Ping, who had just turned twenty, inherited the family business, and the major families at that time were already planning to find a way to annex the Chu family's territory, but they didn't expect that this young new patriarch directly found the four major families at that time, let alone that the four major families directly chose to help the Chu family, which was extremely weak at that time. Today, Changxing City is already the dominant family of the Chu family, and half of the four major families at that time relied on the help of the Chu family to go to other towns to vigorously develop, and only the original family and the Zhao family remained.
The others didn't speak, but Chu Han couldn't help but speak, "Zhao Shibo, I never thought that I would be able to surpass my father. β
The head of the Zhao family left his two daughters, walked up to Chu Han and said, "I didn't mean to hit you when I said this. Instead, I'll tell you what separates you from your own father. β
"I want to hear about it. β
"I'll tell you about 20 years ago. Others, including Chu Han, all focused their attention when they heard this, the reason why the Chu family was able to become the current Chu family, and the reason why Changxing City was able to become the current Changxing City, were all in the meeting twenty years ago, but this matter was only known to the people who participated in the talks at that time.
At that time, Brother Chu sent a letter to our four major families, saying that he hoped to go to the Chu family tomorrow, and he had a great opportunity to give to us, my father was the patriarch of the family at that time, and he didn't believe it was true, but he still took me and the guards at home to the Chu family as promised, and the next thing is the point. β
The head of the Zhao family swallowed, "At that time, there were only two people waiting for us in the Chu family's conference room, and the rest of us were sitting on the chairs that had been prepared long ago, waiting for Chu Ping to explain that great opportunity to us, but I didn't expect that as soon as he opened his mouth, he asked us to give him a large amount of money to help him open up trade routes to other states, and gather people to clean up the surrounding bandits." β
"That's too brazen, isn't it? A junior next to him accidentally said what was in his heart, and immediately covered his mouth and retreated after being glared at by his elders.
"Yes, we also felt very brazen at the time, and questioned him loudly, but he just sat there and answered our questions one by one, why we built a trade road, why we wanted to clean up the bandits, and even found out where we had made mistakes in doing business in the past. Hehe, I never thought that our elders who had been in the mix for many years would be speechless by a young man in his early twenties, and the guards next to him saw the head of the family deflated, and wanted to scare Brother Chu, but instead they were overwhelmed by the momentum of Chu Heng, who was holding a steel knife next to him and said nothing. After that, we went back to our own home, and my father didn't even eat lunch, so he locked himself in the house until the afternoon, and as soon as he came out, he ordered the housekeeper to send a large amount of money to the Chu family. β
"Yes, so did my father. A man's voice interjected into it, the head of the original family.
Chu Han glanced at the two of them and said, "It seems that if I want to catch up with my father, I still have a lot to learn." β
The head of the Zhao family opened his mouth again: "No, I said that the difference between you and Brother Chu is not something that can be obtained by this kind of learning, but something more fundamental, that is, you don't have the absolute indifference and reason of Brother Chu. β
"Why, as soon as I entered the door, did I hear someone talking about me?" Chu Ping's voice came out of the door, and all the people who were originally surrounding Chu Han flocked to the door, but Chu Han kept standing still.
Yes, absolute indifference to reason.
Chu Han looked at Chu Ping, who was surrounded by everyone, with a smile on his face, even if he dealt with so many people, he was still easy.
It seems that for more than eight years, I have forgotten that my previous father was not such an approachable grin.
