Volume 40 Chapter 17

Following Zhang Tie's return, the atmosphere in Zhang Tie's home in the inner city of Golden Crow City became enthusiastic in an instant...

It was snowing all over the sky outside, and the entire Zhang Mansion in the inner city was shrouded in a festive atmosphere. As the sky gradually darkened, red lanterns were hung everywhere in the inner city of Jinwu City. , In the inner city of Golden Crow City, there are fiery trees and silver flowers everywhere, the lights are dim, and it is extraordinarily brilliant.

In a restaurant not far from the outer city of Jinwu City, when it got dark, the tables in the restaurant were almost full. Through the glass window of the restaurant, the guests looked at the Zhang Mansion in the distance. , one by one amazed.

"Xiao Er, what is Zhang's Mansion in Golden Crow City doing today? Why is it so lively?" A potbellied businessman sitting by the window looked at the fiery red in the distance, and served hot wine, vegetables and hot pot to Xiao Er. When he came up, he asked.

At this time, a lot of merchants who came to Golden Crow City to provide full-effect potions gathered in this restaurant, some of them worked in large merchant groups, they were in charge of small firms, and even they were peddlers who ate alone. It's late December, the Chinese New Year is about to come, and the weather in Youzhou is not good. At this time, the people who have not left in Jinwu City are almost all grasshoppers tied to the commercial chain of the full-effect medicine, waiting to enter the city. Before the new year, these people regard the Zhang family as the God of Wealth, and they are very concerned about everything about the Zhang family. When they heard someone couldn't help asking about the Zhang family in the inner city, the people at the surrounding tables, They all pricked up their ears and turned their heads to listen.

Xiao Er quickly arranged the things he was carrying on the table, and laughed together, "This guest officer, the younger one is just a handyman in a restaurant, how could he know about the affairs of the City Lord's Mansion!"

The Golden Crow City belongs to the Zhang family, and Zhang Tie's father is the city owner of the Golden Crow City, so many residents in the Golden Crow City are used to calling the inner city of the Golden Crow City the City Lord's Mansion, to show the respected status of the Zhang family in the Golden Crow City .

Xiao Er left, and everyone sitting on top of the restaurant looked at the excitement in the inner city in doubt. A middle-aged man with a long beard sitting next to the stairs was stroking his beard, After thinking for a while, he said, "Could it be that Lord Yang is going to marry the daughter of Zhu's family in Yanzhou today, so the inner city is now decorated with lights!"

"Master Yang is going to marry the daughter of the Zhu family in Yanzhou. Where did this old man hear the news?" Hearing this middle-aged man's words, a man in charge at the next table put down the wine glass in his hand, and suddenly Interested, asked curiously.

In a place with many businessmen, everyone likes to exchange some news. Although this place is not a club, but when everyone chats, there is no real identity. For businessmen, at least half of every gold coin they earn is based on news and connections, so they are very sensitive to all kinds of news, especially the news related to the Zhang family who has mastered the full-effect potion. of interest.

And the "Yang Ye" that the businessmen said was naturally Zhang Tie's elder brother Zhang Yang.

"Hehe, the last time I just came from Yanzhou, the news of the marriage between the Zhu family and Huaiyuantang has spread throughout the Zhu family. My news is exactly what one of the shopkeepers of the Zhu family said. In addition to a daughter marrying Lord Yang, there will also be a daughter from the Zhang family marrying the grandson of the governor of Yanzhou, so that the two families of Zhu and Zhang will become closer!"

"Hehe, thank you!" The manager who asked the question smiled and nodded to the middle-aged man who was speaking, then greeted Xiao Er, and pointed to the table over there, "Bring a pot of good Huadiao to that old man's table." , Count it on me!"

The businessman who spoke also smiled and nodded.

"It's just that today is not an auspicious day, if Lord Yang wanted to welcome the bride, he wouldn't choose today!" A tall and thin man at another table said while twisting a bunch of sheep's whiskers on his chin.

"Haha, this old man still watches auspicious days?" The businessmen on the tables next to him all laughed.

He flicked his sleeves, and the tall and thin businessman who was talking took out a palm-sized ten thousand year old almanac from his sleeve in full view of everyone, and proudly raised his hand, "To tell you the truth, my I have been a businessman for dozens of years. Whether I go home, leave the store to clean up the dust, or start a Najib business, I never leave my ten-thousand-year-old almanac. I have never encountered any major obstacles. Said that in the middle of last month, I was passing Sifang City by airship that night. I checked the almanac and calculated that the time was wrong. We didn’t stay in Sifang City, how would we know, we just left Sifang City and one day we heard that the bloody plague broke out in Sifang City, if I stayed that day, it would be a big disaster, and today is the day of the Hai, and the moon is disgusted It is the most taboo day to get married. If you get married today, you will have to worry about punishment, assault, destruction, and harm. Lord Yang and Zhu's family have masters who are proficient in calendars, and they will never choose such a day to marry and take concubines ..."

"Admiration, admiration..." The businessmen at the other tables bowed their hands to this businessman who carried a ten-thousand-year-old almanac with him. It is a skill to be a businessman to achieve this level.

"Grandpa Yang's house is not welcoming relatives, so why is it so lively?"

"Could it be to celebrate the birthday of the master and wife?"

"With such a lively arrangement, if it is a birthday celebration, the scene will definitely not be small. I am afraid that the road outside the restaurant has been crowded with people from all over the country to celebrate the birthday. But you see, the street outside is still the same as before. Abnormally, the number of airships coming and going in the sky has not increased, how could it be a birthday celebration, and if it is a birthday celebration, the excitement should have started in the morning, and it will not wait until now!" A businessman on the other table shook his head and said.

Hearing what this man said was reasonable, everyone in the restaurant nodded.

"Could it be that Master Yang is going to have a son again, which is why it's so lively?"

"Probably not. A few days ago, some wives of Lord Yang were serving porridge with the old lady at the east gate. The wives are very agile!" Another person shook his head.

It wasn't a marriage, a birthday celebration, or a childbirth. The people in the restaurant became more curious about the bustle of the inner city.

"Chi..." There was a sudden laughing sound in the restaurant, and everyone turned their heads, only to see people laughing at a table sitting on the private seat of the restaurant. Connected with other places in the restaurant, there were three people sitting on the table in the private seat. The one who just laughed was a young man in his twenties who didn't look like a businessman, but rather a man of a family. , Seeing everyone's eyes turned, the young man raised his face all of a sudden, glanced at everyone with haughty eyes, and said softly, "It's not Zhang Yang's wife Tian Ding, maybe it's Zhang Tie's wife Tian Ding too." Maybe!"

In this Golden Crow City, there are actually people who dare to call the brothers of the Zhang family by their first names? Not to mention that Zhang Tie is the elder of Huaiyuan Hall, he has already been wronged, and the real culprit of the Fuhai City tragedy has already surfaced, let alone Zhang Yang, now in Jinwu City, everyone who is close to the Zhang family respects him Calling him Eldest Young Master, even merchants traveling from south to north should respectfully call him Master Yang.

Not to mention within the Golden Crow City, even within the entire territory of Youzhou, there are definitely not many people who dare to call the Zhang family brothers so loudly.

The merchants in the restaurant frowned slightly. For a while, no one spoke to them. The restaurant that was still busy just now became deserted. After more than ten seconds, they sat down at a table. The guest in his fifties said calmly, "This guest officer may not know something. Elder Mu Shen of Huaiyuan Hall was wronged and left a few years ago. Although Tingwei Mansion has revoked the arrest of Elder Mu Shen Ling, even personally sent someone to Zhang's house to apologize, but Elder Mu Shen hasn't returned home in these years, and it is naturally impossible for Elder Mu Shen's wife to have a baby!"

"That's not necessarily true..." The young man who looked like a son of a family played with the wine glass in his hand, with a sneering smile on his face, "I heard that the last time Zhang Tie's wives were pregnant, it was also when Zhang Tie was arrested. The wanted thing happened ten months after leaving home, counting the time, it is really a coincidence, Elder Mu Shen has great powers, and he can make his wife pregnant without going home, maybe this time it is also the elder Mu Shen. The boss showed his power again, and made his wife pregnant and had a child without returning home. By the way, I heard that the family members of Zhang Tie and Zhang Ping both lived in the inner city of Jinwu City. Zhang Tie The two brothers Zhang Ping are very respectful..."

As soon as this sentence was said, everyone in the restaurant changed their faces, and a needle could be heard in the lively restaurant just now.

The faces of the two guards around the young man also changed, one of them quietly tugged at the young man's sleeve, and the two tables of businessmen sitting next to the young man suddenly looked like There was a red-hot iron plate under his buttocks, and he couldn't sit still for a while. The merchants at the two tables glanced at the young man, but they didn't say a word, and hurriedly left the table to check out, as if they were fleeing from the plague god, away from the guests at that table. a little.

The eyes of the people at the other tables turned cold when they looked at the private seat. The guest in his fifties who was sitting at another table who had just talked to the young man looked at the young man again. Still calm, not even angry, but in those calm eyes, it was as if he was looking at a lifeless corpse or a piece of waste wood about to be thrown into the fire pit, and it wasn't just him. There are also some people who look at the three people sitting on Yazuo Mountain, and they are all like this.

Feeling that the atmosphere in the restaurant was not right, even a little creepy, a guard next to the young man swallowed and whispered, "My lord, let's go..."

"What's there to be afraid of? The Zhang family brothers can do it, but others can't say..."
