Chapter 24: The Banquet
The two of them walked more than 100 steps, turned a corner, went to another street, and walked less than 100 steps to their destination.
On the way, Zhao Zheng thought it was a very ordinary house, but when he arrived at the place, he realized how lacking his imagination wasβhe saw that the entrance was a zigzag verandah, and the stones under the steps were scattered into a road. There are two or three small rooms above, one bright and two dark, and there are beds and chairs in them. There is a small door from the inside room, and out there is the backyard, where there are large pear blossoms and plantains. There were two more small regressions. There is also a clear spring in the backyard that is drawn from nowhere, around the artificially carved waterway, Jujuan flows, quite a meandering artistic conception.
The maid saw Zhao Zheng hurriedly stepped forward to say hello, Zhao Zheng fixed his eyes, this little maid looks quite standard, fifteen or sixteen years old, apricot eyes and willow eyebrows, slightly thicker lips, hanging lip beads, and a little beauty.
The rough mother-in-law is about forty years old, her dark face is full of traces of time, when Zhao Zheng came, she was chopping wood on the side, a whole section of pine wood was easily split into two sections by her, and then neatly stacked to the side, noticing Zhao Zheng's arrival, she left the axe in her hand, respectfully came over to say hello, and went back to work after a brief introduction of herself, people at the bottom of the society also have their own little wisdom, she knows her position, understands her value is to do a good job, and the master will naturally be happy to do her job well, Talking too much, on the contrary, saying more, you will lose.
Zhao Zheng got to know the new members of the family briefly, gave the little maid a name - Linglong, and then signed and stamped the deed of sale and title deed of the little maid that Bao inquired about, and then Bao inquired and the intermediates on the side went to the yamen to register, which was the end of the work.
Zhao Zheng has been poor for two lifetimes, and for the first time he has experienced the life interest of the ancients (not counting in the previous cousin's house, Jianzhuang is different from the place where he lives), and at this moment there is a sense of immediacy when Grandma Liu enters the Grand View Garden. Anyway, he didn't understand anything, but fortunately he handed over all the procedures to Bao to inquire and arrange.
For the first time, he felt that it was good to be a mortal, this depraved thought flashed in his mind, and the Demon Sect was coming in a few decades, and when the time came, he would casually slaughter a city, and as a mortal in that situation, he would be a little worse than an ant.
He shook off the unrealistic assumptions in his mind and looked at Bao who had just returned from the yamen to inquire.
Bao inquired that he should be rewarded for his good performance this time, and Zhao Zheng was so angry that he took out another silver ticket of five thousand taels and gave it to him, asking him to find another place to live, and the rest of the silver would be given to him as his reward.
Bao inquired and thanked him with the silver, and then left happily, not knowing where to go at night.

Zhao Zheng lived in the main house like this, should I say it or not, it is indeed much better to have a maid to take care of in life than to live alone, not only can I see beautiful women every day, but I don't have to pay attention to the trivial things of life, as long as I concentrate on cultivation.
Time always flies quickly in cultivation, spring goes to autumn, and Zhao Zheng has been living in the new house for more than a year. During this period, he went to Mofu every afternoon to study medicine for two hours, except for the occasional commission from the sect to go out to kill individuals, the rest of the time was spent practicing Jinyang Gong.
It may be that the spiritual root is relatively pure, and his cultivation speed is much faster than Han Li's, and in less than two years, he has already cultivated the Golden Yang Gong to the third layer of perfection, and he can already vaguely touch the threshold of the fourth layer.
Xiuzhen has a lot of benefits, the first thing he felt was that his memory has become better and better in the past year, he can basically remember it, and the learning of medical knowledge is moving quickly, if it weren't for Mo Juren deliberately controlling the teaching speed, Zhao Zheng would have already learned his medical skills, even if he controlled the speed, the current Mo Juren often felt weak, and occasionally worried about what to teach him again.
On the afternoon of this day, Zhao Zheng was practicing in the room, and the maid Linglong suddenly knocked on the door of the house, Linglong has always been very obedient, if it was a trivial matter, she would definitely not disturb when she was practicing, he slowly collected his skills, and asked curiously:
"What's wrong? Exquisite. β
"Childe, Senior Mo is coming to you. He's waiting outside the door now! Linglong's voice is very good, glutinous, and people have the desire to protect her when they hear it.
"I know, you and Mama Liu will eat together tonight! I'm going to do something with Brother Mo, so I don't have to wait for me to come back. Zhao Zheng took the ruthless sword and went out. If there is nothing to do, he will go to the Three Treasures Palace, and Mo Juren will definitely let himself out of the task again.
"The weather has been unpredictable lately, so let's take an umbrella and go! Don't get wet in the rain...... "Linglong ran into the house and took an umbrella out, Zhao Zheng had the heart to refuse, but he softened when he saw the little girl's concerned look, he was 'can't be a scumbag no matter what' character, and rejecting other people's kindness would make him feel guilty.
"Anyway, taking an umbrella doesn't affect the killing," he comforted himself as he went out with the umbrella.
Mo Juren stood outside the gate in a set of green clothes, and greeted Zhao Zheng enthusiastically when he saw Zhao Zheng come out, and now he has become the deputy master of the Surprise Jiao Club with Zhao Zheng's help, and he has unlimited scenery in the Surprise Jiao Club for a while. In addition to the scenery, he is naturally very interested in this tool man who just wants to learn medical skills from himself and works hard to help him.
"Brother Mo, what's the matter this time?"
"It's not a big deal, it's just that today we will hold a celebration party, and the high-level members of the gang will attend, I'm afraid that you don't want to participate, so I specially came to invite you, Brother Zhao won't give me Mo this face!"
"Brother Mo has come to invite me in person, how can the little brother have a reason to refuse, where is the celebration banquet held, let's go together!"
The two of them arrived at the headquarters of the Amazing Jiaohui together, the celebration party had begun, and dozens of tables of banquets were set up in the open air, with all kinds of delicacies from the mountains and seas, running on the ground, swimming in the sea, and flying in the sky.
The people who were sitting at the table were chatting, and no one moved their chopsticks, and they all stood up to say hello when they saw the arrival of the two.
Zhao Zheng always kept a distance from those who took the initiative to approach him, and responded tepidly.
At this time, he needs to stand his own position in the Shock Jiao Society, that is, Deputy Gang Leader Mo. He knew why Mo Juren personally invited him to this celebration banquet today, it must be to show his feelings and relationship with Zhao Zheng to everyone in the gang, so as to consolidate his position as the deputy gang leader.
Everyone drank cup after glass in a staggered manner, Zhao Zheng was also a good drinker in the first life, and it was not a problem to drink this low-concentration liquor, because even if he was drunk, he could use his true qi to dissipate the wine, so he also secretly indulged it and drunk himself.
During the banquet, an elder came over to toast:
"Little Master Zhao, have you ever been married?"
"That, that's right, it's not ~ yet~" Zhao Zheng took a wine separation.
"I have a distant relative who also lives in Jiayuan City, and he has a daughter who is as beautiful as a fairy, and she is also at the age when she should get married, I wonder if Master Zhao has any thoughts about this?" This elder deliberately provoked Zhao Zheng to talk about this when he was drunk, and he definitely didn't hold back his fart, but classmate Zhao was already dizzy, and he didn't use his brain to think about the question at this time, and directly answered the thoughts in his head below.
"Pretty? How beautiful is it?!! β
"How pretty, how pretty!" Zhao Zheng squinted, as if he wanted to see the peerless beauty he was talking about through the elder's pickle-like face.
"I'll bring her to you tomorrow and you'll know how beautiful it is!" The pickles smiled meaningfully.
