Chapter 24: The Return of Old Zhu
A few months later, on this day, Xie Xiaohong and Zhu Youqing were playing chess. These two people are not very good at chess, and they love to fight for every inch of land, and often before the chess game reaches the middle of the game, they will kill bloody, and it is extremely tragic.
Xie Xiaohong pays attention to playing chess without regrets, and Zhu Youqing often likes to play regret chess, so after a game of chess, she often fights for red-faced.
At this time, Zhu Youdao and Li Yunniang watched with smiling faces.
If it was Zhu Youdao and Li Yunniang's game, it would be a different situation. Their chess game is tepid, and one step is counted as ten moves, and it often takes an hour or two to come down in a game, and people who are anxious can't see it.
Just when the two sisters-in-law almost fought for a move, the maid of the Zhu family came to report, saying that the master and the uncle had returned, and asked Zhu Youdao and them to meet each other.
In the mouth of the Zhu family, there is only one "master", and that is Zhu Yuanchang. "Uncle" specifically refers to Zhu Ganglie; "Young Master" is Zhu Youdao, and "Miss" is Zhu Youqing.
If it is someone else, a name will be added in front of the title, such as: Young Master Zhu Wen.
Zhu Youqing was making a fuss about repenting of chess, and when she heard that her grandfather and father were back, she threw away the chess pieces and cheered: "Grandpa and father are back, I'm going to see them!" and ran away.
Xie Xiaohong said angrily: "Xiao Nizi is playing tricks again, I can't spare you next time!"
Zhu Youdao smiled and grabbed the two ladies: "Go, accompany me to meet grandpa and father!"
The three of them arrived in the front hall, and sure enough, they saw Zhu Yuanchang and Zhu Ganglie drinking tea at the top. Although they are full of dust, they are in good spirits.
Zhu Youdao saluted first, and Li Yunniang and Xie Xiaohong hurriedly knelt down to meet their grandfather and father-in-law.
Zhu Yuanchang and Zhu Ganglie smiled and asked the two girls to get up, and each gave a meeting gift. Zhu Youqing was unhappy, pouting and saying that there was no gift from her, and she almost cried.
Zhu Yuanchang and Zhu Ganglie hurriedly took another gift and gave it to Zhu Youqing, and she burst into laughter.
At this time, Zhu Yuanchang and Zhu Ganglie were a lot more arrogant, and the gifts they gave were worth hundreds of spirit stones.
At this time, all the monks of the Zhu family gathered.
In the past year, although Zhu Yuanchang has been running around, because of his cultivation resources, the pill has never stopped, and his cultivation that has been stagnant for more than ten years has finally gone one step further, reaching the fifth level of qi training.
Zhu Ganglie is the same, his current cultivation is the fourth level of Qi cultivation.
Zhu Youdao practiced qi in four layers.
Xie Xiaohong practiced qi on the second layer, but it was not far from the third layer of qi training.
Li Yunniang practiced qi on a first floor.
Zhu Youqing practiced qi on the first floor.
Zhu Yuanchang saw that he had only left Zhujiazhuang for a year, and there were three more monks in his family, and he was so happy that he couldn't keep his mouth shut.
He laughed and said: "There is a way and a blessed person, I married two daughters-in-law and children have spiritual roots, hurry up and let your uncle find you a few more daughters-in-law to go up the mountain!"
Zhu Youdao was startled, and hurriedly said something to dispel his idea.
Zhu Yuanchang just said casually that he regarded Zhu Youdao as his future successor, and he was afraid that he would indulge in female sex and delay his cultivation.
Zhu Youdao did not reveal the true spiritual root of the second daughter to his grandfather and father, only said that Xie Xiaohong was the third spiritual root, and Li Yunniang was the fifth spiritual root.
After seeing each other, Zhu Yuanchang glanced at Zhu Youdao, Zhu Youdao understood what he meant, and asked the two ladies to take their sister down.
When they were far away, Zhu Yuanchang said: "There is a way, your father and I have left this year, you have a good view of your home, and we will be relieved to go out in the future!"
Zhu Youdao said: "Grandpa, you are old, I will go out with my father in the future, you will always be at home!"
Zhu Yuanchang glared at him: "Is Grandpa very old? Grandpa is not too old to walk! Grandpa even had a son last year!"
Zhu Youdao was speechless, was rushed a few words, and didn't dare to speak again.
Zhu Yuanchang took out a few storage bags and put them in front of Zhu Youdao: "This is the harvest of this year for me and your father, there are spirit stones, there are also materials for refining and talismans, and there are pills for cultivation!"
Zhu Youdao pushed and said: "Grandpa, you are the head of the Zhu family, you should control these, what is the reason for me?"
Zhu Yuanchang said: "If you let you take it, you will take it, the elixir spirit stone left by your father and I is enough! I have discussed it with your father, this time I will stay at home for half a month and leave, this time we will go to Chengzhou! I will not come back in three or five years, this family still needs you to be the one, your two little daughters-in-law must be disciplined well, especially Xie Xiaohong, she has a good spiritual root, and she must focus on cultivating it with Youqing!"
Zhu Youdao frowned and said, "Grandpa, the Zhu family is currently only a few of us monks, even if we eat the pill as food, it is enough for many years, why do you have to work so hard to go back and forth? I think you and your father are still practicing at home for a while." ”
Zhu Yuanchang sighed: "Youdao, you are right just now, grandpa is actually old! I am still running for a few more years to save some money for my family." Otherwise, in another ten years, grandpa won't have the ability to go out! The Zhu family was created by me, and if I don't leave you more things, I won't feel at ease when I die!"
Zhu Youdao was moved in his heart: "Grandpa, you and my father should teach your children and grandchildren well at home, and hand over the task of revitalizing the family to me, you just look at it, with me Zhu Youdao, sooner or later one day I will compare the Zhou family!"
Zhu Yuanchang's old face flushed: "Let's not compare with the Zhou family for the time being, in the past, my grandfather was ignorant, and I didn't know how strong and big the Zhou family was. But this time I went out, it was an eye-opener, grandpa wants to take advantage of the fact that his body is still good, go to the cultivation realm to walk more, see more, and live up to his cultivation!"
Zhu Youdao looked at his father, and Zhu Ganglie also nodded and said: "Youdao, you just let grandpa and me run for a few more years, I have seen the vast world outside, and I won't tell you, I can't settle down and stay in the mountains all the time!"
Zhu Youdao was speechless, he understood what his grandfather and father meant: the world is so big, they want to go and see it!
Thinking of this, Zhu Youdao said: "Grandpa, Dad, you have to be careful when you are outside, I don't ask you to bring back many things to the Zhu family, as long as you can come back safely!"
Zhu Yuanchang said proudly: "Boy, you don't have to worry about this! Grandpa has never seen any big winds and waves in his life? In terms of saving your life, you juniors are much worse!"
Zhu Youdao also laughed, he knew that his grandfather and father were rough and arrogant on the outside, but they were actually the most treacherous and cunning on the inside, and ordinary people really couldn't play with them!
The grandfather and grandson talked for a long time, and the family had already prepared the wine and food.
asked people to call Li Yunniang, Xie Xiaohong, and Zhu Youqing, and the Zhu family monks sat down at a table to eat and drink.
Today's food is very different from a year ago, and now the chef of the Zhu family has been trained by Zhu Youdao and taught various cuisines of the great foodie empire in the previous life, and the level has increased greatly, and the ingredients are even more unique.
Take today as an example, there is wild meat that Zhu Yuanchang and Zhu Ganglie father and son have never eaten, and the old man is full of praise for it, and he and Zhu Ganglie grabbed it.
These wild meats are all honored by the juniors of the Zhu family.
