The road in Liangcheng is quite stable, and it will be out of the city gate after a while. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

But as soon as he left Liangcheng, the carriage began to creak and squeak, as if the carriage was overwhelmed and was about to collapse. The carriage on the bumpy dirt road swayed from side to side, accompanied by the wind blowing in an unknown direction. Thick dust rose around the carriage, covering the eyes, and from time to time there was a choking sound from the Zhuo family's entourage. The dirt road left two deep rut marks, leading to the endless distance.

On this bumpy carriage, Zhuo Yifan was excited because it was the first time he went out, and he was still in the stage of curiosity about the new things in the outside world.

Along the way, he sometimes let his father Zhuo Song look at this, and sometimes let Zhuo Song look at it. Like a bird in a cage, it finally flew out of the cage and was free, and like a frog at the bottom of a well, it finally jumped out of the deep well and saw the vast world outside.

Zhuo Yifan kept pointing east and west, and laughed from time to time, which made him "busy".

In stark contrast, Zhuo Song's state of mind is very different from Zhuo Yifan at this time. This time, in addition to proposing marriage to his son, he also had to discuss the future business contacts between the two families and extend the dependence of the two businesses. Of course, there is also an important agenda, which is to help him forge a high-quality sword with the help of the unique Xuantie resources of Xuantie Villa.

Come to think of it, none of these things are so easy to achieve. Therefore, along the way, except for telling Zhuo Yifan to go to Xuantie Villa and what etiquette to pay attention to, the rest of the time, Zhuo Song was calm and silent, as if he was silently planning something in his heart.

Swinging, accompanied by bumps and bumps, this road is not too easy.

But time passed quickly, and it was noon in a blink of an eye. Gradually, Zhuo Song and Zhuo Yifan could vaguely see the magnificent gate of Yecheng. The distance between Yecheng and Liangcheng is nearly 100 miles, and the half-day carriage and horse journey is enough.

In a few moments, the carriage drove into the gate of Yecheng.

Although Yecheng is a hundred miles away from Liangcheng, Yecheng is even more prosperous than Liangcheng, and the area is not small. Although it was noon, the sun was still very strong, and the city was still full of people coming and going, and there was an endless stream of passing merchants.

Only half an hour after entering the city, the coachman jumped out of the car while holding the horse, and shouted to Zhuo Song: "Master, Xuantie Villa has arrived."

Zhuo Song rolled up the curtain, and the first thing that caught his eye was a tall vermilion black iron gate. There are two red pillars at the door, and there are two stone lions standing in front of the pillars, which are very majestic and domineering.

There is a gate plaque hanging above the gate, which is very luxuriously decorated, and it is written with four gilt characters of "Xuantie Villa". Observing the writing of these four characters, it can really be described as a dragon flying and phoenix dancing, vigorous and powerful. Zhuo Song is also very familiar with calligraphy, and at a glance, he knows that the person who writes this word must be extremely proficient.

I haven't been to Xuantie Villa for so many years, I can't imagine that it is still so majestic, it seems that the Xuantie business is also thriving, Zhuo Song couldn't help but sigh.

Zhuo Song got out of the carriage and motioned to Wu An, who was following behind, to knock on the door.

Wu An comprehended Zhuo Song's intentions, trotted to the gate, grabbed the tiger nose copper ring hanging on the Zhu door with his right hand, and knocked it lightly, making a crisp and muffled copper ring sound.

"Who?" said a young man who looked like a man poked his head out.

"We are from Zhuojian Villa, and behind us is my master, who came to visit your owner. Wu An responded.

The waiter opened the door and took a serious look at the convoy.

"It turned out to be Zhuojian Villa, you wait a minute, I'll go and invite our master. ”

Then the waiter ran in and shouted, "Master, master, here is a distinguished guest, here is a distinguished guest!"

Suddenly, a young man flashed out of the front yard and stopped the subordinate who was running and shouting.

"What to shout, what to shout, I don't understand the rules at all!" the young man shouted impatiently, his face full of command.

Look at the young man, in his twenties, with a long green face, a collapsed nose bridge, a pair of narrow yellow squirrel eyes that are dripping and turning, some upside-down shallow eyebrows rise and fall, and a thick lip protrudes and hangs on an awl face, looking really underwhelmed.

This person is Yue Hongtang's righteous son, Yue Hanshan.

With such a strange appearance, Yue Hanshan usually cares about it, and even affects the softness that he once had in his heart. But sometimes he doesn't care, but thinks that what can happen if he is ugly, anyway, the disgusting thing is the person who sees him, and he can't see it, it's disgusting, it doesn't matter, it smells like a broken jar.

The reason why Yue Hongtang accepted this adopted son was because he was too old and had no children, so the two elders discussed adopting a adopted son to support the elderly, so as to continue the family business of the Yue family.

When I was young, Yue Hanshan was quite cute and beautiful. Unexpectedly, the more the child grew up, the worse he became, the uglier he became, so that he grew into the prank he looks like today. Although he is ugly, Yue Hanshan thinks beautifully, and all kinds of unrealistic thoughts have never stopped, as if if he doesn't hit the south wall, he doesn't know what despair is.

Later, Yue Hongtang unexpectedly had a son and gave birth to a daughter, that is, the daughter who had a baby with Zhuo Yifan since childhood. Yue Hongtang, who was old enough to have a son, spoiled his daughter to the sky, and Yue Hanshan's treatment fell from the sky to the ground because of this.

"Back to the eldest young master, it is the owner of Zhuojian Mountain Villa who came to visit the master. The waiter bent back.

I don't know if I was afraid of the majesty of this young master, or because he was really ugly, and I was afraid of scaring myself, so the waiter didn't even dare to raise his eyes.

"Zhuo Jian Villa, what's the big deal, as for that. You've been here for years, and you've forgotten all about it. Yue Hanshan crooked his mouth and rebuked loudly on his toes.

"Young master, I'm sorry, it's the villain who panicked for a while and forgot the rules, and I ask the young master for forgiveness. The waiter kept wiping the sweat oozing from his forehead.

"I will spare you this time for your first offense. The master is in the study, you go and please. Yue Hanshan straightened his gray robe and walked towards the gate with his chest straight.

The waiter ran to the master's study, and he should be glad that he had finally gotten rid of this shadow.

The reason why Yue Hanshan behaved like this was partly because Yue Hongtang didn't care about Yue Hanshan anymore since he had a daughter, and coupled with the problem of appearance, he was even more indifferent to him. As Yue Hanshan grew older, his subordinates also began to discuss in private, discussing his origin and his appearance. Over time, these gossips also reached his ears. Gradually, Yue Hanshan became more certain that he was not Yue Hongtang's biological son. With these reasons, his heart became more and more distorted, and the dark side of his heart continued to expand, and he began to slowly use some crazy means to deal with his subordinates.

People say that appearance is born from the heart, and appearance reflects a person's inner world to a certain extent. No, Yue Hanshan also found that only by constantly torturing others could he satisfy his distorted inner needs, and only then could he have that feeling of pleasure. Gradually, in Yue Hanshan's eyes, the outside world was full of hostility, no friendship, and even no family affection to speak of.

"It turned out to be the owner of Zhuo Jian Villa, there is a loss of welcome, there is a loss of welcome, the younger generation Yue Hanshan is justified here. Yue Hanshan arched his hands and smiled.

Seeing Yue Hanshan, Zhuo Song was a little confused, and a member of the Yue family next to him hurriedly responded: "This is the eldest young master of my family."

As soon as these words came out, Zhuo Song fixed his eyes, looked at Yue Hanshan all over, and thought silently in his heart, I didn't hear that Yue Hongtang had such a big son.

Yue Hanshan was a little uncomfortable at first when he was looked at by Zhuo Song, he began to think negatively again, thinking that Zhuo Song was disgusting himself, and then said unhappily: "Master Zhuo, what's wrong, are you okay?"

As soon as the words fell, a deep voice came from behind.

"Brother Zhuo, the younger brother is late, haha. ”

The person who came was wearing a gray coat, most of his hair was white, his eyes were like black holes, and he was in good spirits, but his seemingly thin body gave people a sense of oppression that was difficult to resist.

This person is the owner of Xuantie Mountain Villa, Yue Hongtang.

Yue Hongtang walked up to Yue Hanshan and said to Yue Hanshan: "Hanshan, don't be rude, this is your Uncle Zhuo." Then he walked towards Zhuo Song with a smile on his face.

"Brother Yue, after so many years, you are still not old, and your heroic appearance is still the same as it was back then. Zhuo Song stroked his beard and smiled.

"Where, where, I think it's Brother Zhuo who still has the same demeanor!" Yue Hongtang pushed his hand and gave way.

Seeing the two of them greeting each other so warmly, Yue Hanshan wondered for a while.

"Come here, come here, meet your uncle soon. Zhuo Song turned to Zhuo Yifan behind him.

"Hello uncle-in-law. Zhuo Yifan stepped forward and bowed his waist.

"Oh, this is Yifan. has grown so big, the old man hasn't seen him for more than ten years, and Yifan has become a personable talent. However, there is really some of Brother Zhuo's youthful demeanor. Yue Hongtang said in surprise.

"Hairy boy, the milk smell has not dried, and Brother Yue praised it. Zhuo Song replied modestly.

"I'm not a child. Zhuo Yifan listened to Zhuo Song's words and shouted with a mutter.

Hahahaha...... Listening to Zhuo Yifan's words, the hearty laughter of the two resounded in the courtyard at the same time.

Yue Hongtang waved his right hand: "Go, Brother Zhuo, please." ”

When Yue Hongtang took Zhuo Song past Yue Han Mountain, a cold light emanated from Yue Han Mountain's eyes, like the moonlight shining on a wolf's eyes in the middle of the night, refracting a terrifying cold light.

This inadvertent action was seen by Zhuo Yifan, who was following behind, and he couldn't help but feel a little frightened.

Born from the heart, this person looks so ugly and has such a fluctuating expression, he must be a ruthless character. This kind of thought is the first feeling that Yue Hanshan left to Zhuo Yifan. Later, Yue Hanshan was really impressive, and to a certain extent, it affected the fate of the people around him, but it was just a unique form of brushing the sense of existence. Of course, that's all for later.
