Chapter 1521: Zhongnanhai (21 More Chapters)

"We're here!" Zhao Laifu got down from the driver's seat, opened the back door, and stood outside.

"Thank you." Zhao Tiezhu got out of the car first. Looking at the quiet scenery around him, Zhao Tiezhu said in surprise, "Where is this?"

"This is Zhongnanhai." Zhao Laifu said, "Our Zhao family is here."

"Zhongnanhai?" Zhao Tiezhu really didn't expect that the Zhao family would be in Zhongnanhai. Isn't Zhongnanhai for the leaders to live in? We can even live in the Zhao family? Although the Zhao family is awesome, rules are rules. No matter how awesome the Zhao family is, Zhongnanhai is for the leaders to live in, so it can only be for the leaders to live in.

"Mr. Zhao is also a leader." Zhao Laifu explained, "During the years of great turmoil, Mr. Zhao was once the temporary prime minister."

"Temporary prime minister?" Zhao Tiezhu didn't expect that Mr. Zhao had actually been a temporary prime minister. He wanted to ask something, but Zhao Ergou said, "Son, let's go. Don't stay outside."

"Oh! Got it!" Zhao Tiezhu nodded and followed Cao Ziyi behind Zhao Ergou.

After walking along a stone path around the lake, Zhao Tiezhu saw an ancient building.

The whole building was like a mansion in the Qing Dynasty. There was a stone lion on each side of the door. The stone lions were very tall and bigger than any stone lions Zhao Tiezhu had ever seen! In the center of the door, there was a plaque with two characters on it, Zhao Mansion.

These two characters were written in a flamboyant style, which made people feel a sense of momentum and wanted to crawl under them.

"This word was written by the old man back then." Zhao Ergou explained with a smile when he saw Zhao Tiezhu standing there in a daze.

"Old man?" Zhao Tiezhu was stunned for a moment, then nodded. The so-called old man was Zhao Tiezhu's great-grandfather, a legendary figure who fought for the country with Mao Zedong. Only such a person could write such a magnificent word.

"Go in." Zhao Ergou looked at the words "Zhao Mansion" and said to Zhao Tiezhu, then took Ye Qingxia and walked into the gate. Zhao Tiezhu followed closely behind, holding Cao Ziyi in one hand and Manyu in the other.

Standing on both sides of the gate were two men in long gowns with faint smiles on their faces. When they saw Zhao Ergou coming, they nodded to Zhao Ergou, but did not speak.

Walking into the house, what caught my eye was a large courtyard with a stone road, and there were many flowers, plants and trees planted in the courtyard. From time to time, some people walked through the courtyard. When they saw Zhao Ergou, some would nod as a greeting, and some would simply ignore him.

This is the atmosphere of a big family.

Zhao Tiezhu looked at the people in a hurry with emotion, and felt that this kind of life was really not suitable for him!

Walking across the gravel road and through the yard, there was a hall inside. At this time, there were already quite a few people standing in the hall. These people looked to be about 30 or 40 years old. Everyone was very imposing. There were also young people among them. Several people who looked about the same age as Zhao Tiezhu stood a little outside the crowd. In the center, there were several chairs with several people sitting on them. Zhao Tiezhu knew one of them, one of whom was Mr. Zhao!

At this time, Mr. Zhao was under a Chinese painting in the center. The other four people sat next to Mr. Zhao. They all looked quite old. Zhao Tiezhu estimated that these people were the elders of the other four branches.

"Second uncle!" Zhao Ergou looked at Zhao Ergou sitting in the center with excitement, and his voice even trembled slightly. Anyone who had been away from home for more than ten years would be like this after seeing his relatives. Zhao Ergou was sometimes more evil, but he was first of all a person.

"Hey! Ergou!" Zhao Lao agreed, put one hand on the armrest of the chair, and stood up, "Ergou, you are finally back!"

"Uncle Er, Ergou is unfilial. He came back at this time!" Zhao Ergou stepped forward and held Zhao Lao's hand, saying.

"Hey, don't say that. My Zhao family let you down back then. Now that you can come back, I'm very happy, very happy. This way, I, an old man, will have the face to see my ancestors in the future!"

"Brother, don't say that!" An old woman stood up and said, "You are going to live a long life. It's unlucky to say these words."

"Sister, you don't understand." Old Zhao shook his head and said, "If Ergou didn't come back, I really wouldn't have the face to see my ancestors. Now that the main branch of my Zhao family is back, the main branch of my Zhao family can continue!"

As soon as Old Zhao said this, another old woman next to him changed her face slightly and said, "Brother, Ergou has just come back, so let's settle him down first."

"Yeah, yes, Ergou, you can live in the house with Qingxia and Tiezhu Ziyi!" Old Zhao said, "The rooms are ready."

"Yeah, I'll listen to your arrangements, second uncle." Zhao Ergou supported Old Zhao and said.

"Ergou, I heard that you are living a carefree life abroad!" The old lady called Zhao Laodizi looked at Zhao Ergou with a smile.

"After all, it is not my country and not my land. I still can't get used to it." Zhao Ergou said calmly.

Zhao Tiezhu looked at the people around him calmly and guessed the identities of those old people. This person called Zhao Laodizi is probably Zhao Baobao's mother. It's just that I don't know if Zhao Baobao has come to the Zhao family. Every year during the Chinese New Year, the Zhao family needs to go back to the Zhao family to worship their ancestors. If he can see Zhao Baobao, the prince of the northern underworld, this time, Zhao Tiezhu thinks it will be very interesting.

The other one might be Zhao Daniu's mother, or Zhao Lao's cousin. Zhao Tiezhu felt overwhelmed when he thought about the relationship here. This is also the problem of big families. You have to spend a lot of effort to figure out the relationship between each other. It is very likely that the person you meet is your second cousin or something, and then you don't know it, and you don't say hello, which is very likely to be impolite.

As for the other two old men, it is obvious that one is an old man from Zhao Laifu's lineage, and the other is an old man from the lineage on the other side of the Hunzang area.

"Today, the heir of my Zhao family's main lineage has successfully returned to the Zhao family. In the evening, we will have a big banquet!" Zhao Lao said in a deep voice, "All Zhao family members in Beijing must come!"

As soon as Zhao Lao said this, Zhao Baobao's mother's face changed again, and said, "Brother, don't rush to announce the identity of this heir? At least you have to wait until Ergou enters the Zhao family tree, right?"

"Humph, Ergou came back to inherit the Zhao family. It doesn't matter whether it is announced early or late!" Zhao Lao's words directly changed the faces of the people around him!

(Zhao Lao should be Er Gou’s second uncle, but I can’t tell the difference between uncles and aunts, so the following drafts are all Er Bo. This is not important. Everyone just go with it. They are both two characters, so it doesn’t matter~haha)
