Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    On the first day after returning home, Zhang Tie, his brother, and his father went to Jinhaicheng to visit his old man. This visit was originally on Zhang Tie's third day after returning home.  , because Zhang Tie was suddenly called by people from the Zongren Hall on the third day, so it was postponed until today.

    As the saying goes, poor people live in the busy city and no one cares about them, while rich people live in the mountains and have distant relatives. In the past few years since Zhang Tie left home, as the strength of Jinwu Trading Company has grown day by day, the relationship between Zhang Tie's family and his own family has become much better.

    The family is prosperous, and both sons are successful. The parents are less cautious and more calm, and their interactions with the uncles and aunts in the other houses of the old man are more relaxed and generous.  The relationship between the children has become more harmonious.

    In the past few years since Zhang Tie disappeared, the old man had often asked about Zhang Tie's affairs, and had also sent people to the Norman Empire to inquire about Zhang Tie's whereabouts. Therefore, Zhang Tie should pay a visit no matter what when he came back this time.

    This time I went back to the Zhang family's old house. Although there were not 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 living in the old house.  Even the servants in the old house had a more sincere smile on their faces when they saw Zhang Tie and his son.

    Even the old man's eldest wife, when she saw Zhang Tie this time, she felt like she was seeing her own grandson. She held Zhang Tie's hand and talked for a long time. She no longer had a condescending attitude and even cared about Zhang Tie.  The wedding is coming.

    In terms of human feelings, it may be a bit exaggerated, because even when the Zhang family returned to Huaiyuan County a few years ago and was in extreme poverty, these people in the Zhang family's old house still took some care of Zhang Tie and his family.  Does anyone have any ideas.  No one would show it on their faces. Everyone looked pretty good and maintained the dignity of a family reunion and politeness.

    But that decency is just decency after all, without some real things, people are all real animals.  Even among a big family, those who can maintain the honor of the big family, have greater energy, and make more people feel dependable and useful at critical times will always gain more respect and smiles, and the same.  At this time, Zhang Tie's family also maintains the dignity of being reunited and harmonious as a family. Some things will pass after they pass. There is no need to take it to heart. If anything happens at home, it is the most reassuring thing.  And people who feel that they can still rely on some.  In fact, it is still the old man's family. After all, everyone's blood relationship is there, and some things are determined.

    The two uncles on Zhang Tie¡¯s father¡¯s side all have people who help him with things at Jinwu Trading Company. In the past few years, I feel that, in my brother¡¯s words, in some matters, people who are indeed related by blood can be used.  are different.

    The big family of Huaiyuantang is really too big for Zhang Tie.  The joint entanglements are too complicated, so what really makes Zhang Tie's family feel is the many relatives on the old man's side.

    Zhang Tie and the others came during the day, and there was no need to notify them before coming. Therefore, when they came, the only people who could talk to the father and son at the old house were the old man and his wives.

    After having a meal at the Zhang family mansion, the old man took several people to a quiet pavilion in the back garden to chat.

    The pavilion is surrounded by sweet-scented osmanthus. It is a quiet place and a good place to enjoy the cool air.

    Zhang Tie¡¯s father told the old man that his family was preparing to move to the Eastern Continent in recent months.  This is also one of the reasons why Zhang Tie and the others came to see the old man today. For such a big matter, they cannot ignore the old man without even saying hello.

    After listening to what Zhang Tie¡¯s father said, the old man closed his eyes for a while and then opened them.  "That's fine. This Weiyi subcontinent is a foreign land after all. 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 a few juniors to the Eastern Continent first. It was considered as a first aid.  The family is paving the way. 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 of Taixia.  , Huaiyuan Hall has been operating in Yingzhou many years ago, and now there is a city called Huaiyuan City, where all 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 also be regarded as Zhang Tie's uncle. I met him last time when I came here. I was not too impressed. I heard the old man talk about Huaiyuantang.  Zhang Tie was surprised when he was operating in Yingzhou, the Eastern Continent. He did not expect that Huaiyuantang still had a city in the Eastern Continent.

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

    "Huaiyuantang was originally TaixiaThere is nothing strange about running a city in the Eastern Continent with people of the surname ??. It is just that people's hearts are agitated. This news is generally not publicized to the outside world, so most people don't know that not only Huaiyuantang, but also the other major wealthy families in Jinyun Kingdom are  The Eastern Continent also operates its own territory. The Eastern Continent is the foundation of the major wealthy families, and it is also the sacred land of our Chinese race. To Huaiyuantang, everything here is just branches and leaves that absorb the sun, rain and dew. This holy war  When autumn comes, the fallen leaves always return to their roots.  "The old man said with emotion, as if he was making a pun.

    Hearing the old man talk about the fallen leaves returning to their roots, Zhang Tie and his son didn't know how to respond, but the old man didn't take it seriously. He looked at Zhang Tie and smiled, "Life and death have their own destiny. If I die in the future, I will definitely have to be taken care of.  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, running around for merchants all day long, and have made no achievements in cultivation. My longevity is only about a hundred years old.  I am over seventy years old this year, and I only have twenty or thirty years left. In these years, I can see you and your cousin entering Qianlong Hall. Each will make a difference in the future. Our Zhang family is also prosperous.  With the situation of the big family gone, it is uncertain whether we will build an ancestral hall or seal the hall in the future, so there is no regret.¡±

    Hearing the old man talk about the Qianlong Hall incident, Zhang Tie suddenly felt a little embarrassed. After thinking about it, the old man would know about this sooner or later, rather than letting him know such news from others.  It's better to know from your own words, "WellI was no longer a member of Qianlong Hall yesterday?"

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

    Zhang Tie explained the matter simply. He only said that he had awakened another ancestral bloodline, but he did not tell the specific abilities of this ancestral bloodline.  The family wanted to arrange for him to leave the Hawaii subcontinent, but for some reasons he was unable to obey the family's arrangement. The differences between the two parties could not be reconciled, and they eventually broke up.

    In the meantime, the elders of Huaiyuantang have actually considered Zhang Tie very carefully, even if Zhang Tie has to stay in the Hawaiian subcontinent for some reason.  The family would send a master to follow him to protect his safety. When he was done with it, that person would directly escort him back to the Eastern Continent. However, this suggestion was ultimately rejected by Zhang Tie through gritted teeth.

    Once the family sends a master to follow him, Zhang Tie will know.  He is really about to reveal himself. The person who is confident that he can take him away after the complete fall of the Wei subcontinent is undoubtedly much higher than himself. It is very likely that he will be a knight.  The devil is even a fierce man at the level of war spirit. In front of such a fierce man, there is no room for him to play tricks.  It is estimated that he will be under the protection of that person 24 hours a day. In this state, there is no chance that he will disappear in front of that person and enter the Black Iron Castle to eat fruit. This is a huge obstacle for him.  , simply blocking his own cultivation path.

    And later on, once he returns to the ice and snow wasteland, many of his secrets will be exposed to the big shots in Huaiyuan Hall through that person in an instant. The things he did in the ice and snow wasteland, the abilities he displayed, then  The so-called miracle.  How do you explain those strange seeds?  That will only make you fall into a bigger quagmire.  Zhang Tie did not want to reveal his secret without reservation in front of so many people in Huaiyuantang.

    Therefore, Zhang Tie¡¯s unreasonable stubbornness finally angered several elders of Huaiyuantang

    After listening to Zhang Tie¡¯s words, the old man did not appear as disappointed as Zhang Tie imagined. He just looked at Zhang Tie with a strange look.  After a long time, he smiled indifferently and said, "If you expel Qianlong Hall, just expel Qianlong Hall. Anyway, there are many Zhang family members in Huaiyuan County who are not Qianlong Hall. The bigger the family is, the more rules it has.  But sometimes, this big family will be more practical and utilitarian than you imagine. As long as you have the ability, and your ability is so great that people have to face it, or even look up to it, those so-called family rules will not work.  It¡¯s not as good as a piece of tissue paper. If you don¡¯t like the rules, just change them. Even if you crumble them into a ball and throw them into the toilet, there will be a lot of people praising you, so you don¡¯t have to worry about it! "

    Instead, the old man comforted Zhang Tie with a few words. The old man's words, which were full of wisdom and insight into the world, shocked Zhang Tie. Zhang Tie thought of Lan Yunxi and suddenly seemed to understand, yes, if only he had himself now  The master has the ability to refine demons, he is an extremely powerful alchemist master, and he has become a knight. He has mastered the power of samadhi mentioned by the master. He wants to marry Lan Yunxi. Who in Huaiyuantang dares to say that he is not worthy?

    ¡°These so-called problems and obstacles are, in the final analysis, just a matter of ability and strength.

    Zhang Tie¡¯s heart suddenly became enlightened

    ¡­¡­

    After chatting with the old man in the pavilion, Zhang Tie and his familyAfter opening the door, the old man drank tea leisurely in the pavilion. The graceful-looking old lady of the long house personally brought a plate of fruit to the old man, then sat next to the old man and 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 thoughts became active.

    "I hope this iron is okay. I think he is already twenty today. It seems that it is time to get married. You have met this kid Liangying. His father even brought him to the house last time. It can be considered a good time.  One of my granddaughters is beautiful and virtuous. Do you think it would be suitable for them to get together?

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

    The old lady also laughed and said, "Okay, 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 him. Look at Su'er and  How does Zhang Tie compare?"

    "Su'er is both steady and courageous. He has been trained in Qianlong Hall and has good connections. As the eldest son and grandson of the family, it will not be a problem to inherit the family business or take it further in the future!" The old man stroked his beard.  Said with a smile.

    Hearing the old man¡¯s evaluation of his grandson, the old lady smiled with satisfaction, ¡°What about Zhang Tie?¡±

    "Zhang Tie" The old man paused for a moment, then looked at the eldest wife seriously, "This son will definitely be the pillar of my Zhang family in the future. A hundred years from now, if the Zhang family has the ability to build an ancestral hall,  If so, then the only possibility is to fall on him!¡±

    The old man¡¯s words shocked the old lady. She never expected that the old man would give such high praise and affirmation to Zhang Tie, ¡°Ah, how could that be?¡±

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

    "Then you still have such an evaluation of him?" The old lady didn't seem to figure it out at once. Her direct grandson, who became famous in Qianlong Hall, was highly praised by the old man, but he didn't expect that one would be expelled.  The people of Qianlongtang can actually get such evaluation from the old man.

    The old man didn't explain. There were some things that the women in the family might not be able to understand. 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."  Your brother Gong is a blessing to Su'er and the Zhang family. The foundation of the Xinghe Shipyard will remain 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 the family, and everything will be prosperous for the family and the family, do you understand?"

    In front of the old man¡¯s majesty, the old lady also bowed her head respectfully, ¡°When the old man said this, I will understand.¡±

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

    The old lady left

    The old man sat in the pavilion, drinking tea, looking at the tall osmanthus trees surrounding the pavilion with their branches and leaves shaking in the wind, and fell into deep thought. In the past few hundred years, the entire Huaiyuantang had dared to treat a few people at the age of twenty.  There are almost no young people whose family elders say no. He didn't dare when he was as old as Zhang Tie, his son didn't dare when he was that age, and his eldest grandson didn't dare either, but Zhang Tie dared.

    Being respected by the family naturally has a reason for being valued by the family, and if you dare to refuse this respect, you must have the confidence and responsibility to dare to refuse-this reason, confidence and responsibility are all concentrated in one person. If you still can't see that your grandson  If the future pattern is different, then my life will be in vain.

    In the future, will any of my descendants really be able to build ancestral temples and seal halls?  In the courtyard of this family, it seems that in Zhang Tie's generation, a laurel tree with glorious branches will grow
