"Wancheng is ahead!"

Three days later, Chu Zhaozhao stretched out his hand and excitedly pointed to the city in front of him, and said loudly to the people beside him.

She hadn't been home for more than a year.

Tianhang Mountain is strict in the selection of inner disciples, and there are almost no precedents for recruiting disciples older than twenty years old as an inner gate.

There is actually not much time left for Chu Zhaozhao, who is already eighteen years old, so for more than a year, she has been practicing hard most of the time, and she has no time to go home to take a look, even if in fact, the distance between Tianhang Mountain and Wancheng is only eight hundred miles.

"It's still lively."

A group of people walked quickly into the city, the streets of the city were full of people, and the goods sold by the vendors on both sides were also dazzling.

has been in Goshawk Village for a long time, and such a lively scene makes Chu Qingxiao feel a little strange.

"That's natural, looking at the entire Cangzhou, except for the territory managed by Tianhang Mountain, Wancheng's prosperity can rank in the top ten, which is not comparable anywhere." Chu Zhaozhao said a little proudly.

After saying this, she looked sideways at Sanniang beside her.

In the past three days, most of the roads traveled by everyone were smooth official roads, saving bumps on the road, and Sanniang's physical discomfort has also improved a lot, and she is walking side by side with everyone at this moment.

Sanniang has been in Goshawk Village for several years, and she has not seen such a prosperous scene for several years.

Probably due to the nature of being a woman, her eyes fell on the surrounding shops from time to time, and she was very curious about the various kinds of goods in them.

"Sister Sanniang, I know there is a shop in front of me, and the jewelry sold is cheap and good-looking, I'll take you to see it!" Chu Zhaozhao said at this time.

Sanniang's face was moved when she heard this, but she said in her mouth: "Why don't you go to your house first and do the right thing, don't delay......"

"Oops! Don't rush this time, let's go! Chu Zhaozhao said with a smile, dragging Sanniang and walking quickly towards the crowd in front.

Chu Qingxiao's carriage followed behind him, but he was not in a hurry to catch up, but he just stared at the girl's cheerful steps, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously rose slightly.

"Hey, Brother Chu." At this moment, Meng Ziliang on the side came up and said mysteriously: "Just now I saw that there are a few weapon shops selling swords on the side of the road. ”

"Brother Chu is a master of swordsmanship, can you help me to find a peerless sword."

Chu Qingxiao was about to say something when he heard this, but Meng Jin on the side handed Meng Ziliang a fierce gaze, and Meng Gongzi suddenly lowered his head and remained silent like a frosted eggplant.

Chu Qingxiao secretly felt funny, and could only be relieved: "This matter is not in a hurry, we will stay in Wancheng for a while, and when we are free, we can come and hang out at any time." ”

These words also made the look of loss on Meng Gongzi's face ease slightly.

At this time, Chu Qingxiao also followed Chu Zhaozhao, who was walking in front, but saw that Chu Zhaozhao and Sanniang, who had just left in a hurry, were standing in front of a shop on the street, but they did not enter it.

"Didn't you say you wanted to go shopping? Why don't you go in? Chu Qingxiao stepped forward and asked a little strangely.

As he said this, he turned his eyes to look at the shop, only to see that the signboard read: "Yunlai Inn" four big characters, but it was not the jewelry shop in Chu Zhaozhao's mouth.

"Strange, I remember this is it?" Chu Zhaozhao muttered with some doubts.

She hurriedly stretched out her hand at this moment to grab a passer-by and asked, "May I ask, where is the former June Zhai here now?" ”

The pedestrian glanced at Chu Zhaozhao strangely when he heard this: "The jewelry shop closed three years ago, and the old couple was taken by their son to Canglan City to enjoy happiness, how many years have it been." ”

"When the girl is a foreigner, don't you know this?"

Chu Zhaozhao, who heard this, was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted.

Although she is from Wancheng, since she went to Tianhang Mountain to practice, she can go home for a few days every year after the New Year, and then she has to hurry back to Tianhang Mountain. In the twelve years since she went to Tianhang Mountain at the age of six, the time she has spent in Wancheng will not exceed two months combined

。

There are many changes in the city, which she knows very little.

Thinking of this, there was a moment of loss in the girl's eyes.

Twelve years of practice in Tianhang Mountain, which is hard to say, and the home is also a thing, the shop that once loved has long been closed, and the former playmate has long been unfamiliar like a passerby, Wancheng said that it is her home, but for her, it is very strange.

But this loneliness only lasted for a moment on the girl's face, and soon she recovered, and looked at Sanniang with a little apology and said: "I haven't been here for a long time, I forgot about this stubble, I still know a shop, it's not bad, I'll take my sister to ......"

"Sister Zhaozhao." And at this moment, a voice suddenly came from the side.

Everyone looked sideways, but saw a young man about twenty-three or four, standing not far away with several young people of his age.

Chu Zhaozhao was also stunned, but the next moment there was joy on his face: "Brother Yan Jun? ”

The young man stepped forward at this time, and said with an excited face: "Yesterday I received the news that you are going home, and I asked people to wait at the city gate early in the morning, why didn't those guys receive you, and you entered the city by yourself?" ”

As soon as he came out of Taixuan Mountain three days ago, Chu Zhaozhao found a post station in a county town and sent the news that he was going home, and told his family that there was something extremely important to get them ready for when they returned home.

One of them is naturally about the red blood insect, and the other is Chu Qingxiao.

Now that her determination to watch the sword has been broken, the rise and fall of the family can probably only count on the relationship between Chu Qingxiao and Zhao Nianshuang.

She also knows Chu Qingxiao's temperament very well, and if others treat him well, he will treat others well, so she hopes that the family will prepare well and leave a good impression on Chu Qingxiao.

Yesterday when they were resting in the city near Wancheng, the family who received the news sent a special person to come to the clan, inquired about the situation in detail, and also learned about the number of people who accompanied them, so they hurriedly returned home and arranged various matters.

Hearing Chu Yanjun's words, Chu Zhaozhao's hanging heart also relaxed, knowing that there was no intention of slacking off at home, she said: "When I entered the city, I was practicing in the carriage, and they didn't recognize my friends, so I missed it." ”

"The subordinates are sloppy, which makes you laugh." Chu Yanjun turned his head to look at Chu Qingxiao and the others at this time, and apologized to them.

This rhetoric and demeanor were a bit extravagant, and everyone waved their hands again and again when they heard the words, indicating that there was no big problem.

"You have come from afar, we have already set up a banquet in the house, and we invite you to go to the house to attend the banquet, if you want to hang out, I will arrange someone to guide you in two days." Chu Yanjun said again.

Chu Yanjun was very enthusiastic, and everyone naturally couldn't refuse, so they nodded their heads one after another.

Although Chu Zhaozhao had talked to Chu Qingxiao more than once about the fall of his family, the Chu family's mansion was not only located in the downtown of Wancheng, but the mansion gate was even more magnificent, not as depressed as Chu Qingxiao imagined.

And into the gate of the house, although there are no precious things in the courtyard at the entrance, the planting of various plants and trees, as well as the layout of the courtyard in the courtyard, are extremely exquisite, and even along the way you can see a lot of people busy in the courtyard, from time to time there are one or two young ladies in brocade clothes passing by, smiling and saluting the group.

The manners and words are full of the nobility of a large family.

And Chu Yanjun, who is traveling with him, will always speak out at this time to introduce these young ladies to Chu Qingxiao and others.

Chu Qingxiao and others also learned about the interpersonal relationship of the Chu family.

The Chu family is divided into four courtyards.

Each hospital is a lineage.

The helmsman of the compound is the grandfather in Chu Zhaozhao's mouth, Chu Zhuang.

The second courtyard is a vein of Chu Zhaozhao, which encountered disasters in the early years, and now there are only three or four descendants left, saying that it is a self-contained hospital, but in fact it exists in name only.

The Third Courtyard is the line where Chu Yanjun is located, and the helmsman is the third grandfather, Chu Xian.

Most of the older generation of the four courtyards have died, and Chu Tianque, who is now at the helm, is called the fourth uncle by the people in the house.

Each of the four courtyards has its own assets in this Wan City, and in general, it is at the helm of the compound

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Renchuzhuang is dispatched as a whole, and the four courtyards each withdraw dividends, and then the respective helmsmen distribute them to each junior in the courtyard.

This is a very common mode of operation of big families, and Chu Qingxiao and his party can't hear anything strange.

And most of the clansmen I saw along the way were extremely enthusiastic about Chu Zhaozhao, and they were not as dissatisfied or conflicted as Chu Qingxiao imagined.

"I thought that after we arrived, we would have to meet some guys who didn't have long eyes and bullied Miss Zhaozhao, and then I just happened to stand up for her and let them taste the power of the swordsmanship they have learned here with Brother Chu in the past few days!" Meng Ziliang walked to Chu Qingxiao's side at this time, and muttered in a low voice, with a little regret on his face.

Chu Qingxiao secretly felt funny when he heard this, but before he could say anything, Meng Jin on the side said: "Just your three-legged cat's kung fu, and you still stand out for others, hold the sword firmly first." ”

"Brother Yan Jun, what day is it today, the mansion feels very lively." Chu Zhaozhao, who was walking in front, didn't hear the muttering of the people behind him, and at this moment, he looked sideways at Chu Yanjun beside him and asked.

Chu Yanjun smiled: "Sister Zhaozhao forgot? Didn't you let me entertain these distinguished guests? ”

"I naturally have to inform the people, so that the clansmen can cope with it, not to mention that you also said that there are important things to explain, how dare I slack off, you can rest assured, although the family is poor, but the banquet specifications are all handled according to the best grade, and it will not let your friends be disappointed."

Chu Zhaozhao was somewhat surprised in his heart.

Grandpa has always been partial to himself, and she was far more than the only clansman who could go to Tianhang Mountain to practice back then, but grandpa tried his best to save money from various expenses to provide her with the resources she needed to practice.

Her vein is already thin, so there are many people in the clan who are dissatisfied with this, and every year when she returns home, she will more or less hear some gossip that displeased her.

It was precisely because he was worried that these things would happen again, which made Chu Qingxiao unhappy, so he informed him in advance, but he didn't want the family to cooperate surprisingly.

"There's no need to spend so much, after all, it's ......," Chu Zhaozhao said.

But before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Chu Yanjun: "There are priorities, and the family's financial resources are only a short-term matter, so you can't let your friends see the jokes, you can practice with peace of mind, and we will turn things around at home." ”

Chu Zhaozhao glanced at Chu Yanjun with some emotion when she heard this, she didn't have much contact with this clan brother, she only knew that he was stable and was quite used by the elders in the family, but she didn't want to have such a considerate side.

Although she felt a little guilty about the extravagance and waste at home, she thought that if the red blood insect thing could be done, the family would probably not have to be so poor in the future, so she also nodded and said: "Well, with Brother Lao Yanjun's troubles, life at home will soon be better." ”

Chu Yanjun had a bright smile on his face when he heard this, and hurriedly looked back at Chu Qingxiao and the others: "I'll take you to the wing room to put down your things first, and then let's go to the main hall to pick up the wind and wash the dust for you." ”

Then he led the people to the inner court.

Several subordinates waited there for a long time, and when they saw Chu Yanjun coming, they hurriedly stepped forward and helped everyone carry their luggage.

Chu Zhaozhao naturally wanted to respect the friendship of the landlord, and also helped Chu Yanjun arrange a residence for everyone at this time.

First of all, two side rooms were prepared for the Meng family sisters and brothers, but when the room was arranged for Sanniang, there was some trouble, and Sanniang brought a Gu breeding box and a large number of various food raw materials prepared for Gu worms. So much so that when she moved it into the room, it almost made the side room a little congested, and it was inconvenient for people to live in it, so she could only live in another side room.

But at first, I probably thought there were only four guests, so I only asked my subordinates to clean up four rooms.

There was no extra room for a while, Chu Yanjun was a little embarrassed, so he could only speak: "This brother, let you laugh, the preparation at home is insufficient, you wait a while, I will let the next person clean up another room and come out......"

Chu Qingxiao naturally didn't care about this, he smiled kindly, and his mouth was almost subconscious.

"It's okay, the guest is as you please, Zhao Zhao and I can live anywhere, it's not more than too tired......"
