Chapter 7 Gusu Murong
There are also rumors that after the Murong family "exposed" their money at Zhu Siye's birthday banquet, they were coveted by some people with evil intentions, and they were assassinated many times on the way. At that time, the Murong family only had the head of the family, a four or five-year-old child, and a coachman, and many experienced people in the rivers and lakes predicted that Murong Fu would never return to Chunshui City in this life. But a few days later, Murong Fu returned home intact, and there were many corpses of people with heads and faces along the way.

Ye Chengzhi - Gusu Murong
"As soon as you enter Gusu, you don't say you're rich, and you don't worship Murong Mo. ”
During the time when he went down the mountain with his brother, because my brother intended to inquire about the news of the Murong family, sometimes I met a storyteller, and my brother even rewarded him with money to tell him more stories about the Murong family, so we now know a little about the Murong family.
It is said that the scholar said that the first thing that every prince of the city of Spring Water would do after taking office was to go to Murong's house to visit the head of the Murong family. Thousands of years ago, during the Great War of Immortals and Demons, the Murong family was the big creditor of the Zhou Dynasty and lent a lot of money to King Zhou during the war. However, the Murong family has always been low-key and never publicized. For hundreds of years, the Murong family has always been neither humble nor arrogant, and has been low-key, neither frugal nor extravagant and wasteful.
However, it is said that a few decades ago, Zhu Siye, the largest local tycoon and wealthy merchant in the central capital, celebrated his 60th birthday, and invited celebrities from all over the world to go to his mansion to hold a feast. At that time, the delicacies of the mountains and seas prepared for the treat were piled up, the newly killed bear paws in the mountains, the freshest fish and shrimp in the river, the big crabs that could fold their fingers with the pincers, as long as the fish, shrimp and crabs that were not kept well, they were all eaten by the next person, and the next person could not finish eating, so he fed the dog in the hospital. On the day of Zhu Siye's birthday, the carriages of distant high-rollers almost lined up in a horse farm outside Zhu's mansion. The carriage of the Murong family was inconspicuous inside. During the banquet, the red-faced Zhu Siye got drunk and showed everyone a treasure he had collected in recent years, Zhu Siye solemnly took out a box, and then ordered someone to turn off all the lights in the hall, and then Zhu Siye gently moved the lid of the box, only to see a faint white light shot out from the box, as the lid was removed little by little, the beam of light revealed was like many pages when opening a book, and slowly filled the entire space from a small angle. In the box was an egg-sized pearl of the night! At that time, although the whole room could not be compared with the day, people could see everything really, which showed the dazzling light of the night pearl. Everyone was amazed by the charm of the night pearl and said nothing, and some people sighed,
"Could it be that the moon entered the Zhu Mansion to celebrate your birthday for the fourth master?"
"Brother Xian said well, this pearl is called the full moon. Placed in the room at night, it is indeed not lost to the full moon of fifteen or sixteen. ”
"What's so --- here!" came a child's voice. But it was obvious that he was covered before he finished speaking.
Zhu Siye was very displeased, and ordered someone to relight the lamp, and then said,
"Whose kid was talking just now?"
At that time, the head of the Murong family saw that the people around him were looking at him, and knew that he couldn't hide, so he apologized embarrassedly:
"I'm really sorry for the fourth master, the child hasn't seen much of the world, and he was arguing for me to take him out before, but I didn't expect to shout loudly here, which ruined the interest of the fourth master, and he really had no way to teach the child, how much he was offended, I hope the fourth master Haihan!"
Murong Yu, who was still a child at the time, said again: "What's so great about this night's pearl, our family has a lot. At this time, his father Murong Fu didn't have time to stop him, his face turned blue with anger, and he pulled it out with one mouth, and the corner of the child's mouth was bleeding.
"Hey, Brother Murong, Tong Yan is unscrupulous, why do you punish Ling Lang like this!"
Fourth Master Zhu actually hugged Murong Yu, who was still a child, and asked him why there was nothing unusual about the Night Pearl. Murong Yu casually took out a night pearl from his pocket, which was similar to the one shown by Zhu Siye. Zhu Siye didn't seem to believe it, and ordered someone to turn off the lights again, and found that the bead in Murong Yu's hand was indeed a night pearl, which was not inferior to Zhu Siye's one in terms of luster and size.
Zhu Siye has a lot of hidden treasures, and the display of the Night Pearl is also a temporary rise, so the Murong family definitely has no intention of showing off his wealth and hurting the master's face in the master's house. Later, when this incident came out, people were even more impressed by the Murong family. Many industry giants even revealed that in the City of Spring Water, most of the businessmen are only the Murong family, and the other major cities in the Brave Continent, each city has many industries that are manipulated by the Murong family behind the scenes. How much money the Murong family has, no one can say clearly.
There are also rumors that after the Murong family "exposed" their money at Zhu Siye's birthday banquet, they were coveted by some people with evil intentions, and they were assassinated many times on the way. At that time, the Murong family only had the head of the family, a four or five-year-old child, and a coachman, and many experienced people in the rivers and lakes predicted that Murong Fu would never return to Chunshui City in this life. But a few days later, Murong Fu returned home intact, and there were many corpses of people with heads and faces along the way.
Since then, the Murong family has been rich and rivaled the country, and there are martial arts masters inside, and his hidden style of acting is known to everyone.
-----------------------------
After following Murong Gongzi and Ji Rong for a few days, my brother and I set off together and went to Murong Bai's hometown, Gusu. The green mountains and green waters of Gusu City, the local farmers mainly grow tea, they are not very tired of farming, and the income is quite good, and the best tea planted is taken away by the Murong family at a high price, so the local farmers have no worries about food and clothing, and they are all grateful to the Murong family. Therefore, the people of the Murong family, whether they are the head of the family or the subordinates, are all very popular in the Gusu area, and there have been people from the Murong family who forgot to bring money when they ate in the store outside, and the proprietress heard that it was the people of the Murong family who immediately smiled and said, It doesn't matter if you bring it next time, the boss simply said that the money is not wanted. It can be seen that the prestige of the Murong family in this area.
After about half a day's journey, we arrived at the mansion of the Gusu Murong family.
The Murong Mansion is not luxurious, but it occupies a large area, there are many houses, and each house is antique. Plain, but not shabby.
After the old man guarding the door saw Murong Bai, he first paused for a long time, and then asked, "Bai, Young Master Bai?" Murong Bai smiled and said, "Yes, Uncle Zhao." ”
The uncle known as "Uncle Zhao" had wet circles under his eyes at that time, and he couldn't control his tears, "Young Master Bai, I haven't been home for a few years since I said goodbye last time, and the whole family is thinking about you!" After speaking, he shouted loudly, "Bai Gongzi is back, Bai Gongzi is back!"
