Chapter 11 The Old House Party
The guards guarding the gate of Zhang's old house did not know Zhang Tie. When they saw Zhang Tie walking over with his legs swinging and empty hands, the guards stopped Zhang Tie. The woman sitting in the car and Instead, the car was put in smoothly by the guards.
When the car drove in, Zhang Tie was still standing at the door of the old house, and the woman turned her head and watched with interest.
"Nana, you are from a girl's family, why are you so rude to stare at a man casually? Today is the 70th birthday of the old lady of the Zhang family. You can't be as wild as before. Aunt Xue wants to introduce some Let me meet some talented people from the younger generation of the Zhang family." Sitting next to the girl was a graceful and luxurious Chinese woman in her forties with curly hair. The woman's face was different from the girl's. Similar, well-maintained, the string of top-quality purple beads on the woman's neck and the emerald green bracelet on her hand are all jewelry that can be passed down from family to family. identity of.
"The Zhang family in Jinhai City has become more and more prosperous in the past few years. In the past few years, this family was still a bit behind our Wang family. In the past few years, the Zhang family has flourished in Jinhai City. The Zhang family The asset scale of Xinghe Shipyard has jumped to more than ten million gold coins, jumping from the third place in Jinhai City to the second place, and the old man Zhang Haitian of this family is indeed a character!" A person sitting next to the woman The 40-50-year-old man wearing glasses looked at the bustling scene of the old house outside the car, and said softly.
"I heard that the Golden Crow Merchant Group seems to have a way to get the full-effect potion. It can even get a hand in the business of the Changfeng Merchant Group. It is also the property of this family!" Speaking of the full-effect potion, the lady also All of a sudden his eyes light up.
The man frowned slightly, "The Golden Crow Merchant Group doesn't seem to have much relationship with Zhang's old house, and the two sides don't have much business dealings, but Zhang Yang, the head of the Golden Crow Merchant Group, is indeed the grandson of the old man Zhang Haitian. !"
"What's going on here? Doesn't the Zhang family's old house have a stake in the Golden Crow Merchant Group?" The woman was slightly surprised.
"Hehe, Mr. Zhang Haitian has four wives, eleven children, dozens of grandchildren, and many grandchildren are married and established businesses. It is normal for such a big family to have some problems. Every family has its own difficulties. Come on, our family is also different!" The man smiled softly.
The woman fell silent.
The girl in the car sticks out her tongue.
Today's Zhang family's old house is really lively. The luxury cars are all parked on the road a hundred meters away from the old house. The housekeeper of the Zhang family's old house is directing the servants to guide the drivers of the guests to park the cars. And bring the guests into the old house.
After the girl got out of the car, she still couldn't help but look back, the guy was still standing at the door waiting, but a guard walked towards this side quickly, and when she met a guard from the old house, she joined the guard He said a few words in his ear, and the guard hurried towards the gate as soon as he heard it.
Zhang Tie waited patiently at the door for a few minutes. During this period, two more good cars drove into the Zhang family's old house. Today's Zhang's old house seems to be very lively. Usually there are not so many people here. people.
A few minutes later, Zhang Tie saw a house guard with a somewhat familiar face hurrying over.
"Ah, Master Zhang Tie..." The guard had seen Zhang Tie before, and was shocked when he saw Zhang Tie. He didn't expect Zhang Tie to appear at this time. He quickly asked the guards to let Zhang Tie in, "ah , these guards are all new recruits from the old mansion, Mr. Zhang Tie, you haven’t been here for a long time, these guards have never seen you,
And please, Young Master Zhang Tie, don’t be offended..."
Those who eat the food of guards, if they hate the family of the master, they will not be able to eat this bowl of food no matter what, and the old man will not keep such guards in the old house. This is a big taboo.
Hearing what the guards in the house said, the two guards who blocked Zhang Tie from entering also quickly apologized to Zhang Tie.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, you are also performing your duties. With guards like you, the old man can live here at ease..." Zhang Tie said with a smile, not minding at all.
Hearing that Zhang Tie was so friendly, the two guards who didn't recognize Zhang Tie were relieved, and said to themselves, they didn't expect the old man's grandson to have such a good temper, but all the other grandsons of the old man came here with luxury cars. The luxury cars are coming, one by one huddling in front of the back, very imposing, this person came in a taxi, it seems that he is not doing very well in the Zhang family, and on an occasion like today, wearing a samurai uniform, it seems casual some...
The guard who knew Zhang Tie didn't say much to the new guard, but respectfully led the way and led Zhang Tie to the old house.
"It's very lively here today, what's the matter?" Zhang Tie asked the guard.
"Today is Da Furen's 70th birthday. To celebrate Da Furen's birthday, more people came to the old house!"
"Ah, is Zhang Su here?" Zhang Tie didn't expect such a day to catch up with him.
Although both Zhang Su and Zhang Tie stayed in Qianlongtang, they only met a few times. Later, as Zhang Su went out to perform family missions, Zhang Tie left Qianlongtang after the Tianhan City battle. Longtang, in the past five years, the two of them haven't seen each other again.
"Master Zhang Su came yesterday..."
Zhang Tie thought for a while, Zhang Su is the eldest grandson of the eldest lady, and it is reasonable for Zhang Su to take time to come over for the eldest lady's 70th birthday.
Along the way, looking at the parked cars, Zhang Tie knew that there would be many people coming to the old house today.
When he came to the gate of the old house, Zhang Tie asked the guards to leave and walked in by himself.
The Zhang family’s old house was also newly decorated today, and it looked extraordinarily joyful. Many people gathered in the hall of the old house, including men, women, old and young. There were about two hundred people, and everyone gathered in a pile. While chatting, apart from the many people in the Zhang family, many of them were guests, and most of the people who could come to the Zhang family's old house to celebrate the eldest lady's birthday at this time were relatives and friends of the Zhang family, as well as prominent figures in Jinhai City. These characters, the men are well-dressed, the women are all jeweled, and the men and women are divided into different circles to communicate.
As soon as Zhang Tie entered the hall, he saw Zhang Su.
Zhang Su was in a small hall next to the hall, chatting with people. A large group of young people in their twenties, both men and women, gathered around Zhang Su. , Surrounding him like stars and moons, listening to Zhang Su talking.
Zhang Su was wearing the military uniform of the lieutenant colonel of Jinyun Kingdom, and he was extremely heroic. Among the young people, many women looked at Zhang Su with stars in their eyes, and the men also showed reverence. When Su was talking, there were a few girls aged sixteen or seventeen who couldn't help covering their mouths with their hands and exclaiming.
Compared with five years ago, Zhang Su at this moment is more mature and confident, and his whole person has a feeling of majesty and heroism.
Zhang Tie just glanced at Zhang Su, and judged Zhang Su's current level, tenth level. It seems that Zhang Su's progress has not been slow in these years. Of course, this is not slow, but it is only compared to other people in Huaiyuan Hall. If compared to a proud girl like Lan Yunxi, it is naturally slower. , that is completely incomparable, not to mention Zhang Su, in the entire Weiyi subcontinent, there is only one person who can become a knight at Zhang Tie's age.
But even so, a person who has been promoted to the tenth level can be regarded as an elite and a backbone no matter where he is. The killer of the Zhen family that Tianhan City sent to Qianlong Island to kill Zhang Tie was also at the tenth level. Zhang Su's military uniform and rank also showed his status at the moment.
Zhang Su seemed to feel something, he turned his head and saw Zhang Tie.
A smile appeared on Zhang Tie's face.
Zhang Su was taken aback for a moment, and then suddenly stood up a little excitedly, ignoring the people around him, and walked towards Zhang Tie with big strides.
As Zhang Su got up, the people around turned their attention to Zhang Tie.
Among those people, some were Zhang Tie's cousins. They met Zhang Tie once in the old house a few years ago, and still had some vague impressions of Zhang Tie. I don't understand anymore.
"Ah, who is this person, I don't think I've seen it before!" A young man asked a member of the Zhang family beside him.
"Well, his name is Zhang Tie, and he's a cousin in the family!" The man replied calmly.
In addition to the resounding name of Zhang Tie's Eagle of Celnes, not many people in the entire Huaiyuan County know about it, except that it is resounding among the troops stationed in Sernes in Huaiyuan Hall, because it is more popular among the Siberians. The title of honor is not valued too much among the Chinese. The Chinese have their own criteria for judging honor. Later, because Zhang Tie was captured, various rumors arose in the Cernes theater, and Huaiyuantang treated him with respect. There is no publicity, everything is treated coldly, and at the Zhang family's old house, all the information about Zhang Tie basically stays in the astonishment brought about by Zhang Tie's expulsion from Qianlongtang a year and a half ago. Zhang Tie was expelled from Qianlong Hall, the old man behaved tepidly, some of his peers below, some regretted, some secretly gloated, in the big family, the comparison and competition of the younger generation, where is it? Both.
"Cousin!" Zhang Su walked in front of him, and Zhang Tiegui called out in a polite manner.
"Are you still alive?" Zhang Su's face was full of excitement, his eyes were slightly red, and his whole body showed his true feelings, "I heard about you from Junior Brother Liu Xu when I went back to Qianlong Island last time. I thought... thought..."
Looking at Zhang Su's natural expression of emotion, Zhang Tie's heart warmed. When he was in Qianlongtang, he had known for a long time that his cousin was a little arrogant, but on the whole, he was cold-faced and warm-hearted. A person with a strong temperament, and quite responsible and decisive.
Zhang Tie didn't say anything, but hugged Zhang Su tightly.
In terms of blood, the two are brothers. In Qianlongtang, the two are senior brothers. When the holy chalk war came, Zhang Tie resisted the demons in Cernes, and Zhang Su suppressed the demons in Qilan Kingdom. Personally, I am a comrade-in-arms who fought back to back for the human race. This relationship, together with some common experiences that the two had in Qianlong Island, needless to say, just in this hug, they patted each other hard A few backstrokes are enough.
Zhang Tie is not conspicuous in the old house, even when he walked into the old house, few people noticed, but Zhang Su is recognized by the old house as the pillar of the next generation of the Zhang family, attracting a lot of people all the time The warm embrace of the two people at the entrance of the hall immediately attracted everyone's attention. Some housekeepers who knew Zhang Tie's old house immediately went to report Zhang Tie's arrival. The old man of the Zhang family.
Hugging and parting, Zhang Su adjusted his emotions, took a deep breath, and led Zhang Tie to the back hall.
"The old man has been thinking about you recently. The old man also knows about your affairs in the Cernes war zone. I haven't heard from you in the past year. The old man has been very worried. If he knows that you can come today, he must be very happy ..."
Zhang Tie smiled and didn't say much, but followed Zhang Su into the back hall. Before the two of them reached the back hall, they saw the old man walking out in person. Seeing Zhang Tie, the old man was very happy and came here Just grabbed Zhang Tie's hand and didn't let go.
"Okay, okay, just come back, just come back..."
Following behind the old man was the eldest lady of the old house. Today the eldest lady wore a purple jacket skirt with gold silk sauce, a piece of emerald green jadeite the size of an egg was decorated on her forehead, and she was holding a gorgeous crystal Ruyi in her hand. , looks very graceful, rich and powerful, although it is her 70th birthday, the eldest lady's hair is only one-third gray, and the whole person looks like a person in her fifties, not at all old .
"I just returned to Huaiyuan County last night. I didn't know that today is the lady's 70th birthday. I didn't prepare any presents. Please don't be offended by the lady!" Zhang Tie said calmly to the old lady.
"Su'er came back empty-handed this time, Zhang Tie, you and Su'er are both out fighting for the family, you two can come back safely today, to me, it is already the best gift! The old man has not been so happy for a long time It's over..." Da Furen also said very happily, no matter whether these words are true or not, but listening to people's ears really warms people's hearts.
"Did you report to the family when you came back this time?" The old man asked with concern, with deep meaning in his words.
"Well, it's already been reported, it's all right..."
Seeing that Zhang Tie had already reported that everything was fine, the old man was completely relieved. From the old man's point of view, Zhang Tie was able to come back to report after being captured. If he could stand in front of him well after a day, then he was really all right. . Otherwise, even if the captured person can come back alive, if there is a problem, strict scrutiny in the family will be unavoidable.
"It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if young people experience a little setback. The big deal is to start from scratch. As long as the green hills are there, there is no fear of running out of firewood!" Seeing a lot of people around, I just kept my mouth shut.
Zhang Tie smiled, and didn't give much explanation. In most people's opinion, he was first expelled from Qianlongtang, and the last news was that he was captured in Cernes. It's not very glorious, all the news on Yiyang Mountain is now blocked to the outside world, even if those deacons and disciples know something, but they are bound by the strict rules of the family, they dare not spread the things on the mountain, In the entire Huaiyuan County, except for a few people, most of the other people don't know that they have been promoted to knights.
Many people in the front hall were a little surprised when they saw Mr. Zhang Haitian coming out of the back hall to look at Zhang Tie together with the eldest lady who was having a birthday today. Many people gathered around unconsciously.
"Master, who is this?" A guest asked curiously.
"This is also my grandson. He has been fighting with Jinyun Kingdom's airship troops in the Cernes Theater, and he just came back today!" the old man said lightly.
As the old man said, he glanced at Zhang Su, Zhang Su immediately grabbed Zhang Tie, smiled and said to the people around him, "Uncles, my cousin just came back today, I still want to take him to meet a few Friends, there are a few cousins over there who want to hear from my cousin how the human race competed with the demon race in the Cernes war zone, so I will take him away first!"
"Haha... I didn't expect that the Zhang family also had two handsome men who could compete with the demons. The old man is so lucky. Among these grandchildren, there are quite a few who are talented in both civil and military affairs!" He took it to the small hall he had just come to.
From the performance of the old man and Zhang Su, Zhang Tie felt the protection of the old man for him, and seeing Zhang Su and Zhang Tie get along so well, the old man was also very relieved, the smile on his face, from now on , has not stopped.
When the old man was happy, everyone in the old house, starting from the eldest lady, became happy. Even if they were unhappy, they had to put a smile on their faces. The old house of this family became even more lively.
The young people who surrounded Zhang Su just now were all very interested in Zhang Tie. As soon as Zhang Su pulled Zhang Tie over, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl cast her curious eyes on Zhang Tie. Although Zhang Tie was in his twenties at the moment, he seemed to be about the same age as that little girl.
It felt like the little girl who met her peers immediately asked Zhang Tie with great interest what he was doing in the Cernes theater and what his military rank was.
"I was fighting with the airship unit in the Cernes theater, and I was responsible for flying the glider with the rank of sergeant!" Zhang Tie replied solemnly——the only air cavalry in Cernes was indeed fighting with the airship unit and he His rank is indeed Sergeant Sergeant.
Zhang Su turned his head, as if he wanted to say something, Zhang Tie blinked at him, thinking that Zhang Tie didn't want to mention the Cernes war zone here, so Zhang Su kept silent and let Zhang Tie go. Fooled the little girl.
"Ah..." Upon hearing Zhang Tie's answer, the little girl's eyes immediately revealed a look of disappointment. Originally, seeing Zhang Su and the Zhang family's old man's attitude towards Zhang Tie, the little girl thought that this was some important person. Thinking that it was a soldier flying a glider, not only the little girl, but also the curious eyes of several young women around him quietly moved away from Zhang Tie. Many people in their circle are young, but under the influence of their ears and eyes, many people can know from an early age what kind of person is valuable to them. There is no doubt that a sergeant who can only fly a glider in the Cernes theater is obviously not what their channel should pay attention to.
"Then what were you doing before you joined the army? I think you are not yet eighteen years old. How can you serve in the army?" The little girl finally asked a question curiously.
"I used to stay in Qianlongtang for a few days, but I was expelled later, but I can barely be regarded as a qualified fighter!" Zhang Tie continued to speak seriously.
Hearing this answer, even the few men around who didn't know Zhang Tie were completely speechless—it turned out that he was a guy who couldn't get along in Qianlongtang.
Zhang Tie was quiet, and smiled at Zhang Su, then sat in a corner of the small hall with a glass of wine, quietly listening to the young people in the room chatting.
He didn't expect that today would be the eldest lady's birthday. Originally, he wanted to come to the old mansion to visit the old man and leave. Now it seems that if he doesn't stay here until after dinner - he can't leave. It would be too unreasonable to leave now. , then wait.
Zhang Tie was drinking wine while listening to other people chatting. In the sea of consciousness, he had visualized four golden abacus at the same time, performing four different calculations.
Zhang Tie was already proficient at double-tasking before, but now, after being promoted to a knight, under the surge of mental strength, he began to try to divide one of his thoughts into four from the two of his mind-dual jobs. Begin to control that different abacus.
This kind of difficult attempt is actually similar to Zhang Tie's previous attempts to visualize two abacuses, all of which are from one to two.
Zhang Tie has actually felt the great value of "Abacus Mind" when he can use it at the same time, but Zhang Tie is more aware that the value of "Abacus Mind" is far more than
The more the number of abacus visualized, the more obvious the effect of "Abacus Mind Calculation" on improving mental power is. It is twice as much as visualizing one abacus. After successfully visualizing four abacus, the effect of "Abacus Mind and Divine Math" on improving mental power becomes four times.
Originally, "Abacus Mind Calculus" has very limited effect on improving mental power, which can be described as very rare, but after this effect can be increased by four times, Zhang Tie feels that "Abacus Mind Calculation" may already have a comparable part. The effect of cultivating spiritual power secrets.
If you visualize eight, sixteen, or thirty-two, what will be the effect of "Abacus Mind Calculus" on the cultivation of spiritual power at that time?
As soon as he thought of that prospect, Zhang Tie felt vaguely excited.
And this is indeed not the only effect of "Abacus Mind Divine Arithmetic", the most important effect of "Abacus Mind Divine Arithmetic" is actually the distraction technique...
After one of my thoughts can be divided more and more, from being able to do two things with one mind, to being able to do four things with one mind, and to be able to do eight things with one mind... then what will happen?
Zhang Tie had a vague feeling that in the end, "Abacus and Mind" might play a terrifying value that no one expected...
At some point, a gust of fragrant wind appeared beside Zhang Tie. Zhang Tie sighed when he smelled the not-so-unfamiliar fragrance. Is that woman again?
"Please, can you stay away from me? Let's just pretend we don't know each other, okay?" Zhang Tie stopped practicing and sighed helplessly.
"I feel like you were talking nonsense just now, fooling the little girl, do you think I'm right? How can a guy like you be so honest?" the woman whispered to Zhang Tie.
Zhang Tie raised his eyes and glanced at the woman in a gorgeous lady's dress. There was a kind of brilliance in the woman's eyes. That kind of brilliance was very dangerous, like a naughty child discovering something very interesting.
"So what?" Zhang Tie raised his chin slightly, "Are you coming to bite me?"
"Otherwise, tell me what you are like in the Cernes war zone, and I promise not to tell anyone else!" The woman named Nana showed a curious look of a little girl.
Zhang Tie's response to such a naive suggestion was to roll his eyes and ignore it.
"What do you want to say? Otherwise, let's race again. If you lose, you have to listen to me!" The woman rolled her eyes and said cunningly.
"Little girl, your mother told you to go and see your future husband. If you are rebellious in adolescence, you can go racing. It doesn't matter how many piercings you have in your ears. Anyway, your family has money. Wipe some The advanced recovery potion will be fine, and you can pretend to be your lady in such an occasion. After you get married, remember to give your husband a few more children, which can be considered as a contribution to the human race. Take the children at home, walk the dog, and do hair. What’s the matter, just be your young mistress, and many people will die in the fight, it’s really beyond your control, and you must not be interested in fighting, if you want to hear the story, read knight novels!”
The woman was dumbfounded. She looked along Zhang Tie's protruding chin, and saw her mother and aunt Xue standing in the distance with a man in his twenties in a well-dressed dress. Her mother was looking at her worriedly. He motioned himself to go over with his eyes, he... How did he know that the pierced ears on his ears were wiped with advanced recovery potions.
The bastard!
However, Zhang Tie still misjudged this woman's viciousness. Under the gaze of two women and a man over there, this woman didn't realize it, but was very ladylike on a sofa next to him. He sat down without saying anything, but smiled sweetly at himself, then put his arms on the armrest of the sofa, turned his body sideways, and looked at himself with his hands sticking to his cheeks, with a serious look on his face. Looking at himself obsessively, his eyes were filled with affectionate glances.
This scene is just like the painting.
Soon, Zhang Tie felt the lethality of this woman. First, the man who was waiting for her over there cast a scorching look of jealousy on him, and then, even the young people in this room also Turning his eyes to himself, even the girls who had lost interest in him began to look at him with surprised eyes again.
Zhang Su also had a weird face, thinking that this cousin of his is too awesome. When he was in Heiyan City, he could date dozens of girlfriends and confidante at the same time without saying a word, and he could even marry all those women. He returned to Huaiyuan County in a friendly manner, and just sat here for a while, keeping a low profile, why did he fascinate the daughter of the Wang family...
