Chapter 22

On the first day back home, Zhang Tie, his elder brother, and his father went to Jinhai City to pay a visit to his old man. This visit was originally the third day Zhang Tie returned home. , because Zhang Tie was suddenly summoned by people from the Zongren Hall on the third day, so it was delayed until today.

As the saying goes, if you are poor, no one cares about you in the downtown area, and if you are rich, you have distant relatives in the deep mountains. In the few years since Zhang Tie left home, as the strength of Jinwu Trading Company has become stronger day by day, the relationship between Zhang Tie's family and his family has become much better.

The family is prosperous, and the two sons are well-educated. The parents are less cautious and more calm, and the interactions with the uncles and aunts in the other rooms of the old man are more relaxed and generous. The relationship between the sons and daughters became more harmonious.

During the past few years of Zhang Tie's disappearance, the old man often asked about Zhang Tie's affairs, and sent people to the Norman Empire to inquire about Zhang Tie's whereabouts, so Zhang Tie should come to pay a visit no matter what.

This time I went to the Zhang family’s old house again. Although people didn’t see as many people as when Zhang Tie came last time, the atmosphere in the old house made Zhang Tie feel much better. Not to mention the Zhang family who lived in the old house. Even the servants in the old house, when they saw Zhang Tie and his son, their smiles became more sincere.

Even the old lady of the old man's long room, when she saw Zhang Tie this time, she seemed to see her own grandson. She held Zhang Tie's hand and talked for a long time. Marriage is coming.

In terms of human feelings, it may be a bit too much, because even when the Zhang family just returned to Huaiyuan County a few years ago, these people in the Zhang family's old house still took care of Zhang Tie and his family. Some people have any thoughts, and no one will show it on their faces. Everyone is decent in face, maintaining a polite and dignified family reunion.

But decency is decency after all. Without some real things, people are realistic animals. Even if it is a big family, it can maintain the honor of this big family, have greater energy, and let more people live at critical times. People who feel reliable and useful can always get more respect and smiling faces. Similarly, Zhang Tie's family at this time also maintains the dignity of a family reunion and various atmospheres. In the past, there is no need to take it to heart. If there is anything at home, the most reassuring and reliable person is actually the old man’s family. After all, everyone’s blood relationship is there, and some things are just decided.

Zhang Tie's father's two uncles' families have people who help him with things in Jinwu Trading Company. In the past few years, I feel that in my brother's words, in some things, people who are indeed related by blood use it. are different.

The big family of Huaiyuantang was really too big for Zhang Tie, and the joint entanglements in it were too complicated, so it was the many relatives on the old man's side that really made Zhang Tie's family feel.

Zhang Tie and the others came during the day, and there was no need to notify them before they came, so when they came, the only ones who could talk with the father and son at the old house were the old man and the old man's wives.

After having a meal in the Zhang family's mansion, the old man took a few people to a quiet gazebo in the back garden to chat.

Stylized flowers are planted all around the gazebo, the place is quiet, it is a good place to enjoy the cool air.

Zhang Tie's father talked to the old man about the family's plan to move to the Eastern Continent in recent months. This is also one of the purposes of Zhang Tie and the others who came to find the old man today. Didn't say hello.

After listening to Zhang Tie's father's speech,

The old man closed his eyes for a while, and then opened them, "That's fine. After all, the Weiyi subcontinent is a land of alienation. It is not as prosperous and stable as the Eastern Continent. The family should find a way out. Last year, I asked Jiao Zesheng to take him with him. A few juniors have arrived in the Eastern Continent first, paving the way for your family first. After you arrive in the Eastern Continent, you can contact Zesheng first, so that someone can take care of you. I will give you Zesheng's address when you leave. Zesheng is now In Yingzhou, one of the seventy-two continents in Taixia, Huaiyuantang has been operating in Yingzhou many years ago, and now there is a city called Huaiyuan City, and the descendants of the family can go to Huaiyuan City to avoid disaster."

Zesheng is a son of the old man, and a half-brother of Zhang Tie's father. He can be regarded as Zhang Tie's uncle. I met him last time when I came here, and I didn't have a deep impression. I heard the old man talk about Huaiyuan Hall Zhang Tie was taken aback by the operation in Yingzhou of the Eastern Continent. He did not expect Huaiyuantang to have a city in the Eastern Continent.

Zhang Yang was also very surprised. He didn't hide it, but asked his own question directly, "Ah, I didn't expect Huaiyuan Paradise to have a city in the Eastern Continent?"

"Huaiyuantang originally belonged to Taixia Zhang's lineage. It's so strange to run a city in the Eastern Continent. It's just that people's hearts are fluctuating. The news is usually not publicized, so most people don't know it. Not only Huaiyuantang, Jinyun Kingdom The rest of the big families also operate a piece of territory in the Eastern Continent. The Eastern Continent is the foundation of the big families and the holy land of our Chinese people. When the Holy War comes, the autumn wind blows, and the fallen leaves always return to their roots." The old man said with a sigh, as if there was a pun in his words.

Hearing the old man talk about the matter of falling leaves returning to their roots, Zhang Tie and his son didn’t know how to talk about it, but the old man didn’t care. He looked at Zhang Tie and smiled, “Life and death have their own destiny. My ashes were brought back to the Eastern Continent for burial. As a Chinese, I have returned to my roots. I have been running a shipyard all my life, and I have been busy with merchants all day long. I have made no achievements in my cultivation. I am over seventy years old this year, and only twenty or thirty years have passed. During these years, I have seen you and your cousin both enter Qianlongtang, and each will do something in the future. Our Zhang family is also flourishing. With the atmosphere of the big family, it is unknown if the shrine will be built and the hall will be closed in the future, so there is no regret."

Hearing the old man talk about Qianlongtang, Zhang Tie felt a little embarrassed. After thinking about it, the old man would know about it sooner or later. Instead of letting him know the news from others, it would be better to know from his own mouth. , "Well... I am no longer from Qianlongtang yesterday?"

The old man asked slightly moved, "What's going on?"

Zhang Tie briefly explained the matter. He only said that he had awakened another kind of ancestral bloodline, but he did not mention the specific ability of this ancestral bloodline. Unable to obey the arrangement of the family, the differences between the two parties could not be reconciled, and they finally broke up.

During this period, the elders of Huaiyuantang had already been very thoughtful for Zhang Tie, even if Zhang Tie had to stay in the Weiyi subcontinent for some reason. The family will send a master to follow him, and it is up to him to protect his safety. That person will directly escort him back to the Eastern Continent, but Zhang Tie gritted his teeth and rejected this proposal in the end.

Once the family sends a master to follow him, Zhang Tie knows that he is really going to show up. Those who are confident that they can take him away after the complete fall of the Weiyi subcontinent will undoubtedly have a higher level than him If there are too many, there is a high possibility that it is a warrior below the knight level or even a warrior at the level of a war spirit. In front of such a fierce man, there is no room for me to play tricks. Under protection, in such a state, it is impossible for him to have the opportunity to disappear in front of that person and enter the Black Iron Fort to eat fruit. This is a huge obstacle for him, and it simply blocks his cultivation path.

And at the back, once I return to the ice and snow wasteland, many of my secrets will be instantly exposed to the eyes of these big figures in Huaiyuan Hall through that person. The so-called miracles, those strange seeds, how do I explain them? That will only make you fall into a bigger quagmire. Zhang Tie didn't want to reveal his secrets without reservation in front of the many people in Huaiyuan Hall.

Therefore, Zhang Tie's unreasonable stubbornness finally angered several Huaiyuantang elders...

After listening to Zhang Tie's words, the old man was not as disappointed as Zhang Tie imagined. He just looked at Zhang Tie with a strange look. The hall should be expelled from the Qianlongtang. Anyway, there are more Zhang family members in Huaiyuan County who are not Qianlongtang. The bigger the family, the more rules, but sometimes, this big family will be more utilitarian. As far as you can imagine, as long as you have the ability, and your ability can be so great that people have to face it, or even look up, those so-called family rules are not as good as a few scraps of paper. It’s okay to throw it into the toilet in a ball, and there will be a lot of people cheering for you, so you don’t have to worry about it!”

Instead, the old man comforted Zhang Tie a few words. The old man's words full of wisdom and insight into the world shocked Zhang Tie's heart. When Zhang Tie thought of Lan Yunxi, he seemed to understand it all at once. Yes, if he had his own The master's ability to refine demons, he is an extremely powerful alchemy master, and he has become a knight. He has mastered the power of samadhi that the master said. If he wants to marry Lan Yunxi, who in the Huaiyuan hall would dare to jump out and say that he is not worthy?

The problems and obstacles this induces, in the final analysis, are just problems of ability and strength.

Zhang Tie's heart suddenly brightened...

After chatting with the old man in the gazebo, Zhang Tie's family left. The old man drank tea leisurely in the gazebo alone. By the old man's side, he fanned the old man.

From the corners of the old man's brows and eyes, the old lady seemed to feel that the old man was very happy today, and her mind became active.

"It's good that this piece of iron is fine. I think he is 20 today. It seems that it is time to talk about a marriage. You have seen this child, Liangying. Last time his father brought him to the house, it is considered One of my granddaughters is beautiful and virtuous, you can see if the two of them are suitable together, if they do, it will be considered a close kiss."

The old man glanced at Mrs. Changfang and smiled, "You don't have to worry about Zhang Tie's affairs. He has his own ideas, so you can't worry about them!"

The old lady also laughed, "Okay, then don't worry about it, but when I saw Zhang Tie again today, I found that the child seemed a little different from the last time I saw it. Look at Su'er and Zhang Tie. How does Zhang Tie compare?"

"Su'er is stable and courageous. He has been trained in Qianlongtang, and he has the ability to network. As the eldest son and grandson of the family, it will not be a problem to inherit this family business in the future, or to go further!" The old man stroked his beard said with a smile.

Hearing the old man's evaluation of her own grandson, the old lady smiled with satisfaction, "Where's the iron?"

"Zhang Zhi"" the old man paused, his face turned serious and looked at Mrs. Changfang, "this son will be the pillar of my Zhang family in the future. After a hundred years, if the Zhang family has the ability to build a shrine and seal the hall , then it can only fall on him! "

What the old man said surprised the old lady, she never thought that the old man would give Zhang Tie such a high evaluation and affirmation, "Ah, how could it be?"

"Zhang Tie was expelled from Qianlong Hall by the elders of the family yesterday!" the old man said indifferently.

"Then you still have such an evaluation of him?" The old lady didn't seem to have figured it out all at once. The grandson of her who had become famous in the Qianlong hall received a good evaluation from the old man, but she didn't expect one of them to be expelled. The people of Qianlongtang can get such an evaluation from the old man.

The old man didn't explain. Some things might not be understood by the women in the family. He just looked at the old lady and said, "I won't go into details, but remember, Su'er and Zhang Tie are cousins. In the future, they will be brothers." Youdi Gong is a blessing to Su'er and the Zhang family. The foundation of the Xinghe shipyard will stay in the old house. Zhang Ping's two sons are not interested in this foundation. Elders in the family, you have to take care of the affairs of this family, so that everything is in harmony, and everything will prosper, understand?"

In front of the old man's indisputable majesty, the old lady also bowed her head respectfully, "When the old man says this, I will understand."

"Well, go and rest, I want to sit here alone!"

The old lady left...

The old man was sitting in the gazebo, drinking tea, looking at the tall strudel trees with branches and leaves shaking in the wind around the gazebo, lost in thought, the whole Huaiyuan hall, for hundreds of years, dare to face it at the age of twenty Among the few young people whose family elders said no, almost none of them did not dare when he was as old as Zhang Tie, his son did not dare when he was that age, and neither did his eldest grandson, but Zhang Tie dared.

Being valued by the family naturally has a reason to be valued by the family, and daring to refuse this value requires the confidence and responsibility to dare to refuse - this reason, confidence and responsibility are all concentrated on one person, if you still can't see your own grandson The future pattern, then I will live in vain in this life.

In the future, among his descendants, is there really one person who can make a career of building a shrine and closing a hall? In the courtyard of this family, in Zhang Tie's generation, it seems that there will really be a branch of the Zhushu Qiongzhi, a glorious ancestor...
