Chapter 2 The Four Families of Shanghai
Du Taibai wiped the sweat on his body, looked at today's training results, and couldn't help but sigh slightly, the weight of more than 800 catties of boxing is better than before, but the recent progress is still a little worse, and he must work harder in the future.
It's really more popular than people, a punch of eight hundred catties, in the eyes of ordinary people, there is not much difference between it and monsters, but in the eyes of Du Taibai, he is still not satisfied, the children of other families are slightly better than four hundred catties are very good, not afraid of people compared to people, afraid of goods, Du Taibai, you are really enough.
Du Qiushui looked at Du Taibai, who had already finished cultivating, and greeted him, looking at the third elder and shouting to himself, although he didn't understand what was going on, he still walked over, and looked at his little brother Du Gang on the side, and couldn't help laughing, and hurriedly quipped, "Why does my Du family's little Shenlong also know that he came to the martial arts training ground today, if the fifth uncle knows, he won't be very happy."
Du Gang's face was still mixed with a little red tide, and said shyly, Big brother, you know how to laugh at me, how can I compare with you, haven't you figured it out these days, everyone is responsible for inheriting the glory of the family, how can I be embarrassed to be lazy alone.
Ignoring Du Gang, who was full of self-justification, he put away his joking expression, and got closer, just hugging his fists directly and thinking about the old man in Tang costume with a warm face, he bowed down, and shouted, "Third grandfather, it's early, I don't know what to do with calling me."
Looking at Du Taibai, who exudes a youthful atmosphere, the edges and corners are clear, showing an elegant atmosphere, such politeness and politeness really make Du Qiushui like it, it is worthy of the expectations of the younger generation of the Du family, thinking of this, it is a smile to say, Taibai, don't stand still, sit down quickly.
Taibai, let me tell you, I also see your efforts these days, but every time I finish practicing, I am always a little dissatisfied, is there something troublesome? The fire unicorn who has traveled south and north has never seen anything in the world, and what his children will encounter at this stage naturally knows it, of course, these still need to be said by himself, so that he can answer his questions.
Du Taibai was stunned for a moment, and then he was relieved, it seems that he is still eager these days, but he didn't expect the third grandfather to see that he was a little wrong.
Hurriedly bowed down and said, Third Grandfather, I feel that my cultivation in the past month seems to have reached a bottleneck, and there has been no substantial progress, I wonder if I made a mistake in cultivating our Du family's Autumn Wind, and I originally planned to talk to the elders in a few days, since I met the third grandfather, it is the same.
watched Du Taibai say the words, but Du Qiushui's head was big for a while, and as soon as he made a move, he seemed to follow the wind without a shadow, flicked Du Taibai's brain, rubbed his forehead, looked at Du Gang, who was funny and didn't dare to laugh, and looked at the third grandfather innocently.
Du Qiushui stared at Du Taibai hatefully, and said mercilessly, "Taibai, you stinky boy, your third grandfather, I am the head of this martial arts hall, and your father's bastard boy was also taught by me back then, it is better to ask your elder, do you dislike your third grandfather and can't do it when he is old."
Du Taibai didn't know what was wrong at this time, the third grandfather obviously misunderstood that he didn't ask for advice, and hurriedly said, "Third grandfather, you think too much, grandson, where do I dare to question your skills, how many years has your fire unicorn name resounded in this square circle, aren't the five ghosts of Qishan who are in trouble in Qishan the third grandfather You saw that the road was uneven and pulled out a sword to help, and wiped it out in one fell swoop, I heard that the local village still enshrines your immortal tablet, and which demon sect's three practitioners, etc., After talking about this great achievement, Du Qiushui's eyebrows were stretched more and more.
Then the conversation changed, this is not the third grandfather, your major practice is not the Qilin Decision, my autumn wind decision was passed on to me by my father, isn't it convenient to ask, so I didn't dare to disturb the third grandfather.
Fart, how can you kid learn to play tricks now, did you learn it from Du Gang, I said that Du Gang, this kid has nothing to do, what kind of martial arts practice, isn't it just pure play, after speaking, he just waited for Hu Mu to look at Du Gang, who was shot before he understood, and Du Gang was so scared that he didn't dare to talk.
Du Taibai wanted to laugh on his face, let you be a kid, now you know how fast our third grandfather's thinking jumps, hurriedly follow the third grandfather's thoughts, the third grandfather is really as wise as a torch, it is Du Gang who has come to take me out in a chic way these days, and what do you say to have fun.
When Du Qiushui heard this, he looked at Du Gang, who was stunned, and after thinking about it, he suppressed it, and shouted angrily Du Gang, you stand behind me for me, and then clean you up later, you see what you have done to your eldest brother.
Du Gang looked at Du Taibai who was teasing on the side, and then looked at the angry third grandfather, thinking of the result of waiting for a while, he couldn't help but look at Du Taibai like a complaint, I didn't know if it was a brother, and I thought that there was a story between the two big men like this, and I didn't dare to open my mouth after thinking about it.
turned around and looked at Du Taibai, and hurriedly said earnestly, "Taibai, do you know that among the three generations of the Du family, I am the most optimistic about you, just because you are diligent and hardworking, you can't learn badly from Du Gang, a little cub, and you don't have the coquettishness of some family children, dare to fight and dare to rush, it is really very similar to my time." “
Du Taibai hurriedly arrived, thank you for the love of the third grandfather, I am sure that I will be strict with myself in the future and promise not to fool around with my little brother.
Looking at Taibai, who had a righteous face, he also smiled with relief, and opened his mouth to get to the point, Taibai, you can reach about 800 catties with all your strength now, the qi and blood are up and down, and it seems that it has been paused for a while.
Du Gang on the side opened his eyes wide, and said in disbelief, when did the eldest brother be so powerful, he deserves to be the leader of my Du family, and the little head didn't know what he was thinking, and his eyes were rolling.
"Taibai, you are very good, better than what I did back then, the fifth layer of the day after tomorrow, twenty-two years old, this achievement in Shanghai is also outstanding, I didn't do as well as you did, after the emotion, it was a teasing smile, Taibai, do you know that I went out to wander when I was on the third floor of the day after tomorrow, why don't I stay in the family, it's really because I encountered the same problem as you, I didn't advance an inch, and then the elders told me that I needed to go outside to experience one or two, Because of the ancient martial arts' emphasis on releasing the mind, the Tao is natural, and the original intention of the autumn wind is to be as strong as the wind, as fast as lightning, and the autumn wind is like water, and it is exclusive to Lin'an.
Du Taibai looked at the third grandfather suspiciously, and said, you mean to let me go out to practice?
The third grandfather smiled, yes, the real masters and bottlenecks are breakthroughs and epiphany in actual combat, and they are just vase rookies who have not experienced the fight in the rivers and lakes, and they can't be on the hall of elegance, and my Du family has always encouraged young disciples to travel far away, although some outstanding children have failed to come back, but the characters who have made a great reputation have finally become the backbone of the family, our Du family has never caused trouble but is not afraid of things, too white, I have long intended to let you go out to exercise for a period of time, I have already arranged the details, and I will discuss it with your third uncle later, how to soar without experiencing wind and rain, the outside world is absolutely wonderful, you are the dragon of my Du family, but you want to turn into a dragon of Botian to travel thousands of miles.
Looking at the third grandfather who was full of pride for a moment, thinking of silently paying attention to himself, his heart was warm, and he suddenly became proud, and his eyes flashed with hope.
Then they each said a little, looked back at Du Gang's stunned expression, and said angrily, the third grandfather just asked me to answer the question you raised, why can our four major families in Shanghai have a place to monopolize it, in fact, this river and lake is governed by rules, the strong have the sphere of influence of the strong, and the small family has the survival rules of the small family, which is nothing more than relying on a certain big force, or taking the way of marriage, or the upper-class people intend to maintain this status quo, and are unwilling to dominate the family, in fact, this involves some secrets of our Du family, Our Du family saved a big man in the early years, so over the years, our Du family has been low-key and unassuming, and it will be sent to worship every year, to put it bluntly, the Du family is a chess piece and a representative of the power embedded in Shanghai, so our Du family has also been smooth sailing over the years, and the key is to rely on people to know how to take advantage of the situation.
Du Gang ahhhh
Du Taibai and the third grandfather laughed, in fact, we are very good, at least we are doing well, the survival status of some small sects and small families is actually much worse than ours, and marriages everywhere are not taken seriously.
Clenched his fists, a glimmer of light flashed in Du Taibai's eyes, the Du family still has to be in the hands of the Du family, the chess pieces have no regrets but the fall is ruthless, who knows what these big people think of our Du family as a knife and I as a fish, it is not the best policy.
The four major families in Shanghai, the Du family, the Zhuge family, the Li family, the Sima family, each have a hundred years of history, of course, and those world-famous sects can not be compared, people are happy to call these four families as the representative of the Shanghai flag, the people of the rivers and lakes also need to eat and drink, now the rivers and lakes and commerce have basically been linked for a long time, how much power represents how much wealth, the industrial chain of the Du family mainly relies on the real estate industry, and the Li family is the cultural industry, the medicinal materials of the Zhuge family, the shipping of the Sima family, And then they have other areas of industry, private business is of course indispensable, more than 100 years to become a famous family is not accidental, their respective accumulation and the efforts of several generations are inseparable, now the rivers and lakes on the barge is weird, it is really difficult to predict, especially the undercurrent of the four major families in Shanghai, each does not know what is planning, especially the Zhuge family is the most mysterious, no one knows too much about the origin of the other party, some people say that it is the descendants of Zhuge Wuhou, this family has always been low-key, but it is also the most powerful, The ground in Shanghai is dominated by the Zhuge family, followed by the Du family, followed by the Li family and the Sima family, the Li and Du families have been friends since childhood, so they have been married to each other for more than a hundred years, and in recent years, Zhuge Sima has also had traces of mutual contacts, but it is still not on the surface.
