Volume 40 Chapter 20

As the sky gradually brightened, the Zhang residence gradually became lively.

Zhang Tie, Linda and the others did not stay in bed for too long, especially Linda and the others, who were a little tender-skinned. When Zhang Tie came back on the first day, if the wives got up too late, they would inevitably be laughed at, so it was a normal time. I got up, washed and tidied up with Zhang Tie, had breakfast with Bai Suxian, and went to the main house to visit Zhang Tie's parents' residence to say hello.

It is also the rule of the big Chinese families to set the province in the morning and evening, and Linda and the others are also used to it.

"Do Shi Ni and Shi Xia usually sleep until this time?" Zhang Tie asked Linda when they were walking on the road leading to the main house, and their five children hadn't woken up until this time.

This is the second time Zhang Tie saw his five children, and Zhang Tie's five children saw Zhang Tie's real body for the first time yesterday. The five children were all three or four years old. They were like strangers to them. On the first day they met, except for calling Zhang Tie Dad, the little guys didn’t talk to Zhang Tie very much. The family babysitter went to bed after playing with it for a while.

These five children are three boys and two girls. Linda and Fiona gave birth to two little girls this time. Linda gave birth to a little girl named Zhang Shini, and Fiona gave birth to a girl named Zhang Shixia. Mei Aixue's two sisters each gave birth to a boy, and the three boys were named Zhang Chengba, Zhang Chengxiao, and Zhang Chengyu. Since then, Zhang Tie has had eight children in Taixia, six boys and two girls. Among the children, apart from the five little ones who are still in the Zhang family, Zhang Chenglei, Zhang Chengting, and Zhang Chengpei have all entered the Tianji Gate.

"The doctor invited by the family said that children should sleep more in winter, adapt to the season, gather vitality, and the body will grow better. There is no need to get up too early like adults!" Linda replied gently.

"The four seasons are different in spring, summer, autumn and winter, and the vitality of everything in the world is also different. The living time of children is indeed different. When I was in the palace, I came here when I was young. This is also the essence of the Chinese people's unity of nature and man. Appear!" Bai Suxian also spoke.

Although he just came to Zhang's residence, yesterday, at Zhang Tie's request, Bai Suxian and Linda were already called sisters, no matter how big or small they were, they got along well, at least they wouldn't fight each other in front of Zhang Tie. , Bai Suxian came later, and Zhang Tie's wives and concubines already had children, so Bai Suxian naturally wouldn't fight for bigness, with Bai Suxian's temperament, he didn't bother to fight for size in front of Zhang Tie, but Linda and the others knew Bai Suxian With a high status and Zhang Tie's helper, he was a little more polite to Bai Suxian, so everyone got along happily.

Among the several elders in Huaiyuan Hall, Elder Murray, who has the fewest wives and concubines, has more than 20 wives and concubines, and all the knight elders have many children and grandchildren. Like Zhang Tie now, the women around him add up There were less than ten of them, and among the knights, they were considered "relatively cautious" in terms of the relationship between men and women. The women around him were naturally very satisfied.

Hearing Linda and Bai Suxian's words, Zhang Tie shook his head and smiled wryly. The bigger the family business, the more rules and regulations in the family. The daily life time began to be guided by a consultant.

When they came to the main house, the eldest brother Zhang Yang and Zhang Tie's three sisters-in-law Wang Huizhen, Lu Shiyun and Wang Huayin also came to say hello at about the same time, and then Zhang Tie's parents took Zhang Tie's two brothers and a group of daughters-in-law to the old man Zhang Tie. Haitian and the old man's wife greeted him. The old man has a seniority, so naturally there is no reason to come to greet the younger generation. After greeting the old man, the Zhang family sent the old man and Zhang's relatives to board the flying boat.

Let the flying boat of the Golden Crow Merchant Group send these relatives back to Baohu City.

The old man’s family business is all in Baohu City. After completing the merger of the family’s shipbuilding enterprise under Huaiyuantang, Jinwu Shipyard’s shares are already dominated by the Jinwu Merchant Group and Zhang Tie. They have the absolute right to speak in the shipyard, but Zhang Yang and Zhang Tie are handing over the management of the specific matters of the shipyard to a few uncles and cousins ​​on the old man's side. The family created by the old man Zhang Haitian is now managed by The two brothers Zhang Tie and Zhang Yang in Golden Crow City followed each other and did not dare to disobey in the slightest.

Watching the Golden Crow fly away, Zhang Tie let out a deep sigh, turned his head and said to Zhang Yang, "When did the old man start using a cane?"

When he came back this time, Zhang Tie found that after not seeing him for a few years, the old man Zhang Haitian suddenly aged a lot.

"The old man is a crutch two years ago!" Zhang Yang also sighed, "When the old man was young, he devoted all his energy to the affairs of the shipyard, and he didn't spend much time in his cultivation. Your body is gradually getting worse than before. No matter how good doctors, potions and alchemy equipment are, they will not help much. Especially in the past two years, you were wronged and ran away from home. I heard that the old man lived in the old house all year round. I don’t have many smiling faces, and I still sigh every day, and I have to find someone to ask about your news every few days. In just two short years, I have aged a lot. I knew you came back yesterday, and the master has not been like this for a long time. I'm happy..."

Zhang Tie was silent for a while, "Speak to Uncle, take the old man to a place with a warmer climate in the south in two days to spend the winter. The old man is not in good health, so don't spend the winter in Youzhou in the future. The winter here is too cold. It’s a bit difficult for the old man! Brother, please pay attention to the islands in the south of Taixia, if you have a suitable one, buy one, and our family will go to the south in winter.”

Zhang Yang glanced at Zhang Tie and nodded.

When the family returned to the main house from the square, the steward of the main house came to report that the knight of the Heavenly Mystery Gate, who had been retreating and practicing in the basement of the main house, had left. He said he wanted to see the second young master alone.

The knight of Tianjimen had not come out for several years after retreating at Zhang Tie's house. The day after Zhang Tie came back, that person left the retreat.

Both my parents and Zhang Yang were a little surprised, but Zhang Tie was not surprised.

Zhang Yang and the others were not surprised that the knight from the Tianjimen wanted to meet Zhang Tie after leaving the customs, because from the beginning to the end, the relationship between the Tianjimen and the Zhang family was also based on Zhang Tie, without the friendship between Zhang Tie and the Tianjimen. It was impossible for Tianjimen to send knights to Zhang Tie's house a few years ago, let alone accept Zhang Tie's children as disciples.

In the living room of the main house, Zhang Tie saw the knight from the Heavenly Mystery Gate.

This knight of Tianjimen has a thick body and a dull expression. He is wearing a blue robe with a bit of starch and a pair of ordinary cloth shoes on his feet. He looks about fifty years old, and his hair is already gray. Like an old farmer who has been farming in the countryside for a long time and entered the city wearing clean clothes, who would believe that such a person is a land knight when he walks casually on the street?

"Thank you, Master, for protecting my Zhang family's safety all these years!" Seeing the knight of the Heavenly Secret Gate, Zhang Tiecheng bowed to the ground sincerely at the knight of the Heavenly Secret Gate.

"Elder Mushen, you are welcome!" The knight of Tianjimen smiled, and that smile seemed a little simple and honest.

"I don't know what the real person is called. Do you hold any position in the Tianjimen?" Zhang Tie asked as he sat down next to the Tianjimen knight.

Up to now, people in the Zhang family only know that the knight sent by Tianji Sect is named Zhou, and he is a black iron knight. Since this person met Zhang Tie's parents and family members on the day he came to the Zhang family, he has been There is not much communication with the Zhang family. Regarding the "communication" between the two of them this morning, both of them are well aware of each other, but there is no need to say anything at this time.

"My name is Zhou Hongbang, a field cultivator in the Baopu Hall of Tianjimen. I like to be quiet, and I have a keen sense of the secret techniques. A few years ago, Elder Mu Shen was wronged and left. I don't believe in Mu The elders of the gods will do such a thing that both people and gods are angry with, and the elders have decided to send someone to the Zhang family in Youzhou to sit in town and help the Zhang family overcome this difficulty, so I volunteered to come!" The earth knight in the gate of Tianji Not only does he look plain, but he also speaks unpretentiously. He talks about everything, making people feel peaceful and comfortable when communicating with him.

"How can Zhang Tie be so trusting and favored by Tianjimen?" Zhang Tie sighed.

Zhou Hongbang's face straightened, "Elder Mu Shen, why should he be self-effacing? Elder Mu Shen's three sons have no one in a hundred million cultivation qualifications, and they have already joined my Tianji Sect. The future of advanced knights is definitely a certainty. I will be able to honor the great sect, my Tianji sect is an example of the righteous way of the human race, how can I sit by and ignore this change in the family of my disciples, and ignore it. At the beginning of the battle for the governor of Youzhou, Elder Mu Shen's gentleman's light is upright, our sect Elder Zhongzhang and Nephew Cangwu both saw Elder Mushen with their own eyes, and they were full of praise for Elder Mushen. Although Senior Nephew Cangwu and Elder Mushen had met each other for a short time, they had already regarded Elder Mushen as their own. As a close friend, in Tianjimen, Master Nephew Cangwu used his own practice to guarantee that Elder Mu Shen would never do such things in Fuhai City. It may also involve the demons and Tongtian Sect's conspiracy in Taixia. Naturally, Tianjimen will not stand by. Tianjimen has been investigating the real culprit behind the tragedy in Fuhai City for the past few years. One is innocent, but I didn’t expect that before we found out, the real culprit would jump out by himself and hide in Xuanyuan Hill with just a few clues!”

"Adding icing on the cake is easy, but sending charcoal in the snow is difficult. When my Zhang family was in distress, I, Zhang Tie, will remember the kindness and care that Tianjimen gave to my Zhang family. !" Zhang Tie said solemnly, with a determined and serious look on his face, he was definitely not joking... (To be continued.)
