At this time, Zhong Dushan returned.

All eyes were on him.

More precisely, it is concentrated on the lotus flower in Zhong Dushan's hand.

And in Zhong Dushan's hand, there is only one box.

There is no need to say more, in the box, it must be the lotus.

There was silence all around.

"Friends and relatives, thank you for coming, I'm really sorry, I'm late, I've been delayed for a while, and I've kept you waiting. ”

Zhong Dushan said politely.

"It's okay, Master Zhong, a good meal is not afraid of being late. At this time, one of the people in the crowd suddenly said.

Everyone could hear this person's voice, that is, to remind Zhong Dushan that he must not forget his promise.

Of course, Zhong Dushan naturally heard the meaning.

However, Zhong Dushan did not directly rush to give everyone this reassurance, but said:

"Relatives and friends, today is also a big day, I want to take this opportunity to say a few words. ”

Everyone was stunned.

I don't know, what is this Zhong Dushan going to say.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we are all long-time residents of Lingyun Mountain. For so many years, our ancestors have lived here, and as the saying goes, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. In this way, the relationship between us can be regarded as relatives. ”

Unexpectedly, Zhong Dushan suddenly played the family card, and everyone was at a loss for a while.

And two of these people are calm.

One is Shen Shuiji.

Shen Shuiji looked at Zhong Dushan coldly, and thought in his heart, no matter what you say, I will not be moved, and I will rebel later.

And the other person is Murong Yingxue, the reason why she is not in a hurry is because, from beginning to end, she did not have much hope for this matter, and besides, this matter is related to Shen Shuiji, so her distrust of Shen Shuiji has always made Murong Yingxue watch the fire from the other side.

Immediately afterwards, Zhong Dushan said:

"Over the years, our three families are indeed grateful for everyone's support and handed over the lotus flower to us with confidence. Especially in recent years, the Jiang family and the Zhuang family have stopped guarding the lotus for various reasons, so the responsibility of guarding the lotus has fallen on me. ”

After a pause, Zhong Dushan continued: "Actually, I, Zhong Dushan, am an ordinary person, not a smart person, nor the determination to make stupid efforts, no peerless martial arts, and no outstanding qualifications. However, since I am the only son of the Zhong family, I also have to take on the responsibility of guarding the lotus. ”

Everyone was silent, not knowing why Zhong Dushan suddenly remembered bittersweet here.

In fact, not many people were willing to listen to Zhong Dushan's remarks, and their eyes were all looking directly at the box that Zhong Dushan put on the table.

After all, there is a lotus flower inside, and for these people from small households, the lotus flower that blooms once every thirty years is definitely a heavenly thing.

Zhong Dushan naturally saw everyone's thoughts, but he was still unmoved, but continued to say to himself:

"Over the years, I should have felt very guilty about Lotus. I don't know why, the lotus seems to have gone through a lot of twists and turns, from the initial bloom began to bloom, to the sudden withering later, I don't know, these things that have never happened, why do they happen to me again and again, sometimes, I wonder if I did something wrong, angered the ancestors, so that they made it difficult for me. ”

"But I have no other way but to bear it. In these processes, many people have helped us a lot. Here, I would like to thank one person in particular, that is, Murong Feng. ”

After speaking, Zhong Dushan looked at Murong Feng.

And at this moment, Murong Feng was listening intently to Master Zhong's speech, but he didn't expect that when he suddenly heard his name, and he was the person that the famous Zhong Dushan wanted to thank the most, Murong Feng was completely stunned.

He didn't know what to do for a while.

However, Murong Yingxue sat there coldly, watching everyone's eyes focus on their apprentices, but she didn't react at all, as if the whole thing had nothing to do with their Murong family.

And Zhong Jin was unhappy at this time, he didn't expect his father to thank an outsider on such a major occasion.

The most important thing is that this outsider is none other than Murong Feng, who he hates the most.

Why did his father let this person be in the limelight, Zhong Jin was very unhappy.

And Wan'er, who was sitting on the side, although she didn't look at Murong Feng at this time, she secretly remembered this person's name in her heart.

However, this person, for himself, is obviously an inconsequential person, why, he is suddenly so concerned?

Wan'er didn't know it herself, but when she thought of this, her head began to hurt.

At this time, Zhong Dushan continued: "Many times, the person who helped Lotus turn the corner was this person, Murong Shaoxia. Although, my sons, Zhong Jin and Zhong Shen, like Murong Feng, have worked hard for the lotus, and they have also gone to Zhongxian Mountain with Murong Feng to invite Mr. Mei Wanli, and they have also guarded the lotus flower for ten days like Murong Feng, but although I am also grateful to Zhong Jin and Zhong Shen, it is still not as grateful as to Murong Feng, this is because Zhong Jin and Zhong Shen, as the sons of the Zhong family, have the obligation and responsibility to protect the lotus and do something for the lotus, which is unshirkable, but Murong Feng is different, as an outsider, he has nothing to do with our Zhong family, but he has helped us do so many things that are beneficial to the lotus flower again and again, and even, Murong Feng has saved the life of our family's Zhong Shen, so in this way, Murong Feng is not only our lotus benefactor, but also the benefactor of the entire Zhong family. ”

After speaking, Zhong Dushan walked in front of Murong Feng, then picked up the teacup and said:

"Murong Shaoxia, thank you for doing so much for us, take this opportunity, I want to say thank you sincerely. In this way, I will replace the wine with tea, and I will toast you. ”

After speaking, Zhong Dushan drank all the tea in the teacup.

At this time, Murong Feng also stood up, and then said very embarrassedly: "Master Zhong, you are really serious, what I do is a gesture, besides, the Zhong family has always been of great help to me." Especially you, you have always valued me very much, I know that I am just a nameless rat, but you always put down the shelf, gave me a lot of inspiration, and let me get a lot of opportunities to grow and exercise, so the person who should really say thank you should be me. ”

After Murong Feng finished speaking, he also picked up the teacup and toasted Zhong Dushan with a glass of wine.

Then, Zhong Dushan continued: "Also, although I just said that what Zhong Jin and Zhong Shen did was what they should do. However, in my heart, I am still grateful to my two sons. After all, these things were imposed on them by me, my father. Therefore, they all had to bear such a burden and made great contributions to the Zhong family. ”

After listening to Zhong Dushan's words, Zhong Jin and Zhong Shen were also very excited, so they said: "Father, this is what we should do, and we are very fortunate that we are very proud of you as a father. ”

"Finally, the person I want to thank the most is my wife. After speaking, Zhong Dushan took Mrs. Zhong's hand, and then said: "This woman has been with me for so many years in obscurity, hard work, and sharing weal and sorrow with me, in fact, I know that with me, she is always frightened all day long, it is I who did not give her a better life, nor did she get more happiness, so I am very grateful to her." ”

After speaking, Zhong Dushan looked at Mrs. Zhong affectionately, and then his eyes turned red.

Just when the Zhong family was enjoying this family fun affectionately, the guests sitting below couldn't bear it.

"What is this family, why are they suddenly sensationalizing each other like this, do you really treat us people as air?" one whispered to another.

"Yes, I said that I would give us the lotus, but until now, I haven't mentioned a single word for lotus, but has said so many useless things, I don't know what it means?"

Then, everyone looked at Brother Zhang in unison.

I hope to know some of the next developments from Brother Zhang's eyes.

However, what everyone didn't expect was that Brother Zhang was sitting there, drinking tea calmly, without a little expression on his face, as if the things around him had nothing to do with him, and it seemed that he was not the one who was about to start rebelling.

All of them don't know what to do anymore.

And at this time, Zhong Dushan also seemed to see everyone's grievances.

So, he knew it was time for everyone to see the lotus.

Then, Zhong Dushan walked to the side of the lotus and said, "Okay, I have delayed everyone's time, and after listening to what I said, I will let everyone see the lotus, and then, fulfill my promise to everyone." ”

After speaking, Zhong Dushan untied the box with his hands.

I saw that in the box, a white lotus flower appeared in front of everyone.

It's the first time I've seen it so white, and all of them have seen it.

There is no impurity at all, it is very clear, very transparent, and it makes people feel suffocated.

Everyone began to fall silent.

I was stunned by such a scene in front of me, and I even forgot that after a while, there might be a life-and-death battle.

And although Brother Zhang was also very surprised in his heart, there was a more important thing now, that is, would Zhong Dushan really share the lotus flowers with everyone?

At this time, everyone turned their attention to Zhong Dushan to see what would happen next.

In full view of everyone, Zhong Dushan finally spoke.
