Chapter 156: Snow Falls at Home
Chinese No matter how fierce the wind and rain outside is, the atmosphere in the teahouse is still peaceful. The things that Zhou Heng and Jiang Yu talked about were almost about the Zhou family and Zhou Ping's affairs in the Ming Jade Altar. And Jiang Yu almost understood that Zhou Ping seemed to send letters to his family every once in a while. Last time Zhou Ping broke his arm, Jiang Yu was still very worried about whether he would die in the chaotic battle, but now it seems that Zhou Ping is still alive and well, and Jiang Yu's heart is much more relaxed. And from Zhou Heng's words, Zhou Heng didn't seem to know about Zhou Ping's broken arm. Jiang Yu knew that Zhou Ping deliberately concealed it, and he didn't want Zhou Heng to worry, so he simply didn't mention it. The matter was almost over, Jiang Yu remembered one thing, and shouted downstairs: "Iron cat, come up!"
The iron cat, who had been waiting downstairs for a long time, trotted all the way up the stairs and ran up.
"I've seen Brother Zhou!" Jiang Yu pointed at Zhou Heng and said to the iron cat.
"I've seen Brother Zhou!" said Iron Cat with his fists clenched. Although he is small, but he is quite charlatan,
Jiang Yu looked sideways and said to Zhou Heng: "I picked up this kid, how about Brother Zhou?"
When Zhou Heng heard this, he took a closer look at the iron cat, and asked the iron cat a few questions, such as his background, and the iron cat answered them fluently, and he was not afraid at all. Zhou Heng also nodded with satisfaction.
"He is still illiterate, I have the heart to hand him over to Brother Zhou, I don't know if Brother Zhou can help me with this. Jiang Yu said to Zhou Heng. Zhou Heng didn't think about it, smiled slightly, and said, "Small things, Brother Jiang can rest assured." ”
Zhou Heng has no opinion here, but the iron cat is not doing it, and after listening to Jiang Yu's words, he said, "Big brother, don't you want me anymore?"
Jiang Yu shook his head and said, "I can't live in Luoxue City for a long time, you don't have a cultivation, how can you follow me?"
"If the eldest brother is willing to teach me skills, I can learn quickly!" said Iron Cat, patting his chest.
"When you read all the words, I will naturally teach you the skills at that time. Jiang Yu said.
"Really?" The iron cat's eyes showed a look of hope, Jiang Yu nodded, and said, "No regrets!" Jiang Yu actually hopes that this iron cat will not only learn to write, but also hope that he and Zhou Heng will learn some principles of how to behave in the world.
"The name Iron Cat can't be used anymore. Zhou Heng's words came from the side, and when he heard this voice, Tie Mao'er frowned, obviously very unwilling.
Zhou Heng looked at the iron cat and continued: "Since Brother Jiang has already handed you over to me, you can only listen to me in the future. If you enter my Zhou family, you are a member of my Zhou family, huh...... In the future, you will be called Zhou Yan and give you the identity of the Zhou family's concubine. ”
Zhou Yan ...... It's so ugly......" The iron cat teased in a low voice, but he didn't dare to object, because Jiang Yu was here. He knew that Jiang Yu and Zhou Heng had a good relationship, and he also knew that if he followed Zhou Heng, Zhou Heng should not embarrass him.
"Thank you, Brother Zhou!" Jiang Yu said to Iron Cat beside him. Jiang Yu knew that Zhou Heng was giving him face, otherwise he would not have given the identity of the iron cat's concubine as soon as he came up. Although the concubine is not good-looking, in the Zhou family, there are more than ten servants for a concubine alone, not to mention other prominent treatments, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the iron cat is a step to the sky.
Seeing Jiang Yu say this, the iron cat arched his hand and said, "Brother Xie Zhou gave him a name." ”
As he was talking, the iron cat suddenly jumped up in shock, because he found that the Zhou family's mansion was actually burning with a raging fire. It was as if someone had set the fire on purpose.
Seeing the flames, Jiang Yu was also a little puzzled, there was no such thing in what Zhou Heng said to him.
"It's too hard to clean, and it's very unlucky, so I just set it on fire. It's a big deal to buy another one. Zhou Heng said on the side. Hearing him say this, Jiang Yu was thoughtful. Suddenly, from the Ruyi bag, a large stack of jade was turned out and placed in front of Zhou Heng. Zhou Heng is a person who often uses money, how can he not know the jade, but so many jade, it is a person like him, and he is the only one in his life. This money is more than the Zhou family's family property combined, I don't know how many times. Zhou Heng, who has always been calm, is also a little uncalm at this time.
"Brother Jiang, what are you?" Zhou Heng didn't understand Jiang Yu's intentions.
"Xiao Ruo took care of Brother Meng Zhou during this time. That's a thank you gift. Jiang Yu said with a smile.
But Zhou Heng was unhappy and said, "Does Brother Jiang really regard the relationship between you and me as a business?"
Jiang Yu shook his head and said, "How come, although Brother Zhou often compares himself to a businessman, he is a businessman with affection and righteousness, and I regard Brother Zhou as a friend." Between friends, gold leaf is like dung, and the money is not entirely for Brother Zhou, in fact, I hope to buy a family business in Falling Snow City and hand it over to Xiao Ruo to take care of. The money was for Brother Zhou to help me dredge the operation. ”
"That's ......" Zhou Heng looked down at the jade and said, "With so much money, are you planning to buy all the Falling Snow City?" Jiang Yu laughed when he heard this, and said, "Then I don't care, Brother Zhou is in charge!"
Zhou Heng looked at those jades, knew it in his heart, and said in his heart that the money was enough for 100 percent, not to mention a family business. He understood that Jiang Yu was afraid that he would not be able to gain a foothold in Falling Snow City and would spend a lot of money, so he directly paid to help him. He knew it in his heart, so he didn't shirk it anymore. Accept the money, and then leave the teahouse with Jiang Yu and others.
Jiang Yu took Xiao Ruo and Ling Ruoxue to settle down at the inn in Falling Snow City. For a few days, he lived in seclusion, just practicing every day, and talked to Ling Ruoxue about swordsmanship in his free time. As for the life-and-death battle outside the window, he didn't bother to care. Just a few days later, I heard that the Lu family had moved out of Falling Snow City. Zhou Heng is not a ruthless person after all, the people of the Lu family, he just let people kill all the adult men, and the others were all expelled by him. Jiang Yu knew very well that Zhou Heng was already very benevolent. If Zhou Heng hadn't been prepared, then the Zhou family would have been killed by the Lu family a long time ago, and even a mouse would not have been left.
As for the things that Jiang Yu handed over to Zhou Heng, Zhou Heng soon heard from him. Zhou Heng helped Jiang Yu buy a large mansion that could almost accommodate thousands of people, just southeast of Falling Snow City.
"Brother Jiang, this house is not bad. Zhou Heng took Jiang Yu, Xiao Ruo, and Ling Ruoxue to Jiang Yu's new house to watch. Then I saw that the weather in the mansion was magnificent and extraordinary. In the distance, you can see many cherished trees and flowers, birds chirping cicadas, and blue streams and fish jumping. The scenery is very elegant and quiet. Between the ridges of the roof, the buildings are cloudy, and every brick and tile reveals an extraordinary solemn atmosphere.
Jiang Yu looked back and forth, nodded, and said to Zhou Heng: "Very good, where did you buy this house?" Jiang Yu was very curious, judging by the scale of this house and the layout. It's not like an ordinary noble family, and it's not like a rich family can have.
"Brother Jiang, you can guess!" Zhou Heng smiled.
"Okay!" After Jiang Yu agreed, he watched back and forth, and when he looked at it, he didn't see any clues. Suddenly, he saw the pattern of a window above an attic in the distance. It feels a little familiar. Thinking about it carefully, Jiang Yu had the answer. Turning around, he said to Zhou Heng: "Brother Zhou, if I guess correctly, this was once the palace of the White Moon Kingdom?" Jiang Yu asked because he remembered that he had seen Bai Yumou, the third prince of the White Moon Kingdom, and the clothes he was wearing had similar patterns to the window.
Hearing Jiang Yu's words, Zhou Heng also showed a look of surprise, and then said, "Sure enough, you can't hide anything from Brother Jiang, this is indeed the palace of the Baiyue royal family." ”
"Can a country's palace also be bought and sold casually?" Jiang Yu asked curiously. When Zhou Heng heard this, he smiled and said, "Then what's not to do? The royal family also has times when they are short of money, and this palace is empty and empty, and it can't grow money." I had no choice but to sell it. ”
"I see. Jiang Yu nodded, and said in his heart that Zhou Heng's choice was still very good. Because there are no other houses around the palace, and there is no market, it is very quiet here.
Zhou Heng continued: "Furniture or something, you can probably get it in the afternoon and send it over, a total of two thousand five hundred sets, which should be enough." As for the servant nursing home or something, Brother Jiang, how many people do you think is enough?"
"This ......" Jiang Yuxin said that he didn't need so many servants, but this house was so big, if there were too few people, it would only make people feel empty.
"A hundred people is about the same. Jiang Yu said a number that he thought was already a lot. After all, for him, he is still used to being a wandering immortal, rather than being a rich man. He bought a house and land, just to give Xiao Ruo a place to live, after all, he always troubled Zhou Heng, and he didn't want to go.
Hearing this, Zhou Heng laughed and said: "It's not okay to be such a little person, Brother Jiang, do you know, in addition to this house, I also bought thousands of acres of land for you, if this mansion really only has so many hundred people, the land can only be contracted to other tenants to plant."
"Then Brother Zhou has the final say. Jiang Yu said with a smile.
Zhou Heng thought for a while and said, "Then it's good to tentatively appoint eight hundred people first, but for a more important position like a housekeeper, you can't use a living person, so let the Zhou family come over for a while, and if there is a good one in the future, Brother Jiang, you can change it yourself, how about it?"
"Yes. Jiang Yu nodded yes.
Jiang Yu handed over all other complicated matters to Xiao Ruo for full management. Xiao Ruo is not the housekeeper here, but the hostess here. Up and down, all obey her orders.
After everything was settled, Jiang Yu settled in Luoxue City, practicing every day, and at the same time fighting Ling Ruoxue's basic sword skills. Although Jiang Yu didn't say it, it was rumored up and down the "Jiang Mansion" that the Jiang family had two very beautiful ladies, one with strong swordsmanship and the other good at housework.
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, more than 20 days have passed. In the early morning of this day, Jiang Yu, who was practicing, finally made a decision, that is, to break through the limitations of the peak of the Spiritual Qi Realm and reach the Spiritual Water Realm.
"Ruoxue help me protect the Dharma. Jiang Yu smiled at Ling Ruoxue, Ling Ruoxue nodded, and it was a promise. For Jiang Yu, breaking through the peak of the Aura Realm should not be difficult for him. The so-called Dharma protector is actually nothing more than the fear that the subordinates in the house will quarrel with him.
