- Before the dinner, the woman who had been by Zhang Tie's side was finally dragged away by her mother. Zhang Su, who finally found an opening, quietly pulled Zhang Tie aside and communicated with Zhang Tie in a low voice. {3w.
For just a few hours, Zhang Tie had almost become the public enemy of the unmarried young men in the old house, having been stared at by that woman with a look that was like a nymphomaniac. For this, Zhang Tie just regarded him as that woman's He didn't mind the prank at all. Under the woman's gaze, he remained calm and composed. He didn't think that the woman would make him lose a hair by doing this. As for the men who were jealous of him, Zhang Tie had no obligation to explain other than blaming them for being idiots. The only thing that made Zhang Tie find it a bit funny was that several of his cousins ??actually did not hide their jealousy towards him.
Zhang Tie had some impressions of some of those cousins, and some of them had just met for the first time today. As members of the Zhang family, with the same blood lineage, they would actually take a woman's behavior seriously on such an occasion, and treat his brothers coldly. Zhang Tie couldn't help but be very disappointed with them.
However, Zhang Tie knew that there was nothing he could do about it. The old man had eleven children. The next generation of these children, especially his uncles, all married more than one wife. There were at least fifty or sixty people of his generation. Among these people, there are outstanding people like Zhang Su who can make a name for themselves in Qianlong Hall, and naturally there will also be a few shallow people.
The two uncles who are close to Zhang Tie's family had left for the Eastern Continent a month ago to join their parents. My brother also needs some help. Zhang Tie, the two uncles' family, also There are several cousins ??and cousins. Didn't come today. Zhang Su's father ** also went to the Eastern Continent early to prepare for the transfer of the Zhang family's industry.
Seeing such a scene today, Zhang Tie thought to himself. Perhaps the two uncles deliberately left Huaiyuan County early, so there was no need to shyly come here on such an occasion. The old man¡¯s eldest wife was very capable at home. Zhang Tie¡¯s own grandmother was the old man¡¯s fourth wife. , that is, the fourth house, the first house and the fourth house have not always gotten along harmoniously. Especially after the death of Zhang Tie's biological grandmother, the Sifang family has been receiving some rejection at home. Zhang Tie's two uncles have not been very happy at home. Because of this, he has developed a cautious character since he was a child. Only in the past two years, as Zhang Tie's family has gradually gotten better and better, the relationship between the first and fourth houses has eased.
And seeing the undisguised jealousy in the eyes of those people looking at him, Zhang Tie understood. That woman may have an unusual family background. Those people's jealousy of themselves was not entirely due to the woman's beauty.
In fact, for those who can come here to celebrate their birthdays, they are just beautiful women. To them, they are just toys and cheap goods, and few people care.
"How did you meet the daughter of the Wang family?" Zhang Su asked Zhang Tie in a low voice.
"Would you believe it if I said that I only knew that woman's surname was Wang now?" Zhang Tie smiled bitterly.
Zhang Su looked at Zhang Tie's face seriously and nodded slowly, "I believe it, but I'm afraid others don't believe it!"
"Where is that woman from?"
"The Wang family in Fubo City. The largest ore and steel trader in Huaiyuan County, in Huaiyuan County and other places in Jinyun Kingdom. There are more than ten minerals, including more than one gold mine."
Zhang Tie was surprised, he didn¡¯t expect that girl¡¯s family to be so wealthy, ¡°What is the relationship between this Wang family and the Wang family of the six major families in Jinyun Kingdom?¡±
"It doesn't matter, it's just that the wife of the city lord of Fubo City is the biological sister of the old man of the Wang family. This Wang family can also be regarded as one of the more famous relatives of our Zhang family in Huaiyuantang. She is closer to Fubo City. Over the years, , the scale of the family's shipyard has expanded a lot, and the steel consumption in the shipyard is very large. The business contacts between our family and the Wang family have become more frequent, and the relationship between the two families has become closer. The Wang family just sent someone to congratulate my grandma on her birthday today ¡¡±
Zhang Tie thought about it and understood that from the perspective of a family elder, he was certainly not willing to let the power of the steel and ore trade that affected Huaiyuan County's shipbuilding industry be in the hands of another big family in Jinyun Kingdom. Although the six major families Families are all married to each other, but there are still some bottom lines that cannot be broken through in each family. Each family has its own interests. For such an important industry that is related to the family's economic lifeline, it is absolutely impossible to give equal treatment to the family. to be mastered by another family.
"Does the old man want to marry the Wang family?" Zhang Tie asked with a smile.
"The old man has not expressed his position, but several uncles and aunts are very enthusiastic about this. Just before you came, an aunt has introduced several cousins ??to the daughter of the Wang family!"
"Haha, if we marry the Wang family, I think your cousin is the most suitable one!" Zhang Tie joked in a low voice.
Zhang Su glared at Zhang Tie, "I've already fallen in love with someone, you don't know?"
Zhang Tie then remembered that Zhang Su did have a favorite senior sister on Qianlong Island. When he was on Qianlong Island, Zhang Su lent money to that senior sister to open a business.
Zhang Su was embarrassed to say at first how to make money by running workshops, but later, Zhang Tie learned from other people that Zhang Su already had a confidante in Lingtian Courtyard, and that senior sister seemed to be named Fang.
Zhang Tie patted his head, "Why didn't Senior Sister Fang come today?"
"She is not yet at level nine, and she cannot leave Qianlong Island yet!" Zhang Su said with some embarrassment.
On Qianlong Island, Zhang Su's cultivation speed and aptitude are considered to be relatively outstanding, so he can advance to level ten in five years, while for more people, he can advance to level three in three years. It is already very good to advance to level nine before the age of ten.
"By the way, I almost forgot, what was the name of that woman just now?" Zhang Tie suddenly remembered something.
Zhang Su looked at Zhang Tie for a long time, and finally said helplessly, "I'm convinced, that woman's name is Wang Shina!"
Zhang Tie laughed
¡¡
When it was getting dark, the grandest dinner finally arrived. Everyone in the old house and all the guests gathered in the newly decorated banquet hall of the Zhang family's old house. There were more than 200 people in total, sitting at almost 20 large group tables.
The old man and the eldest lady of the Zhang family were sitting at the head table, after the banquet started. The younger members of the family took turns to toast the eldest lady on her birthday and say some auspicious words. The old man and the eldest lady sat down and said a few cordial words to each younger person who came up to toast. The eldest lady would also give a symbol of happiness and good luck. The gold ingots were distributed as red envelopes to the juniors.
This gold ingot is the currency of the Chinese people in ancient times. It is no longer common in this era. In this era, standard gold coins are used. For large transactions, gold tickets or large quantities of gold ingots are used to settle transactions. The gold ingots given by the eldest lady weigh less than one kilogram each. It's less than forty gold coins. Here, for those who come up to celebrate their birthdays, it's just for good luck. But this is also a scene only seen in wealthy families. Ordinary people, those ten or twenty gold coins are considered a huge sum of money, how can they use it like this.
This junior birthday celebration is an important part of the wealthy family's birthday celebrations for the elderly. In such a part, birthday celebration is actually a secondary purpose. More importantly, it is to show everyone that the Zhang family is prosperous and full of talents. . The scene of descendants and grandsons filling the house with great wealth.
The general is going to have a military parade, and this is the moment to wish Sun the birthday. To put it bluntly, it is actually a special military parade among the family.
Some took the opportunity of toasting to show off their cleverness and cleverness in front of the old man and the eldest lady to please the old man and the eldest lady, and some used it to show off their achievements and extraordinaryness in the conversation with the old man and the eldest lady, so on. Heavy, to name a few.
And those guests, at this time, became spectators of the ceremony. They all smiled and listened quietly. Looking at the prosperous and lively scene of the Zhang family, they also secretly commented on each of the descendants of the Zhang family. figure.
In the entire Jinyun Kingdom, there are countless wealthy families whose marriages began when each family wished their elders a birthday.
¡¡
When Zhang Su went up to celebrate his birthday, the old man encouraged Zhang Su a few words, saying that he should guard against arrogance and impetuosity, and make further contributions to the family. The eldest lady gave Zhang Su a gold ingot affectionately, and then Zhang Su came back.
This birthday celebration is also based on seniority. The grandsons of the old man and the eldest wife are the second batch of people to go up to celebrate the birthday, and it starts with the grandchildren of the first house, then the second house, and the third house. Zhang Tie is considered the old man. The only representative of the Sifang Yi lineage present today was actually the last one in line.
This kind of link is actually dispensable for Zhang Tie, but on such a day, it happened to happen. Zhang Tie didn't want to make himself too different and make the atmosphere and relationship of the family tense in front of a bunch of outsiders. , then let the past things be in the past, there is no need to hold on to them anymore.
Others were toasting or waiting for toasts. Few of the younger members of the Zhang family were actually using their chopsticks at this time. Only Zhang Tie was bent over his desk and eating as if no one else was around. The whole table, except Zhang Su, was full of people. Everyone secretly despised Zhang Tie.
"How many days have you not eaten?" Looking at Zhang Tie's appearance, Zhang Su asked in a low voice.
Zhang Tie thought about it for a while, and without any time to speak, he made a gesture.
"Four days!" Zhang Su was shocked.
Zhang Tie nodded
A few days ago, Zhang Tie entered the airship?I haven¡¯t eaten since I was practicing. I went to Huaiyuantang and spent the whole night with the elders yesterday. Counting today, it¡¯s been exactly four days. Seeing so many delicious food on the table, Zhang Tie didn¡¯t need to pretend to be wronged in front of others. , naturally he opened his mouth and ate it. The things placed on the table were just for people to eat.
Zhang Su thought that Zhang Tie had a difficult journey back to Huaiyuan County and could not even fill his stomach. At this time, he looked at Zhang Tie sympathetically.
¡¡
While Zhang Tie was eating, three people at a table in the distance were also quietly observing Zhang Tie. It's just that the eyes of the three people are different. One of the two women's eyes is full of fun, the other is sad, and the man's sophisticated eyes are deeper, with a trace of confusion
When Wang Siena's mother saw Zhang Tie's appearance, her face remained calm. She turned her head and glared at Wang Siena fiercely - that means - you are a dead girl who likes someone who can't even look good on such occasions. A person who is reincarnated as a hungry ghost without any care? Don't embarrass our Wang family
"Mom, don't you think that guy is handsome?" Wang Shina muttered in a low voice. When she saw her mother's hands under the table, she couldn't help but reach out and pinch her, so she quietly stuck out her tongue and quickly She stopped and pretended to be a lady. Seeing her appearance, her mother turned her head angrily and whispered to the man next to her.
"Look at your daughter?"
The man smiled and said nothing.
Women love to look at the surface too much. The person who can be so calm and unobtrusive in this situation is either an idiot who doesn't understand the rules, or the man has a tiger in his heart.
It's just that Zhang Tie doesn't look like an idiot or a person who doesn't understand the rules. To say that he has a tiger in his heart, at that age, he seems a little too young and doesn't seem to be too experienced and capable. In this way, Wang Shina's My father was a little confused and couldn't see through it.
¡¡
After Zhang Su, almost ten minutes passed. Under the signal from Zhang Su's eyes, Zhang Tie knew that it was his turn, so he wiped his mouth, left the table with a glass of wine and walked towards where the old man and the eldest lady were sitting. passed.
As soon as Zhang Tie stood up, many people's eyes fell on Zhang Tie. Many people who did not know Zhang Tie's identity were full of curiosity.
Arriving in front of the old man and the eldest lady of the Zhang family, Zhang Tie was about to speak when a crisp, childish voice suddenly rang out from a table next to him.
"Ah, you are a coward from the Zhang family, you have been a prisoner of the demon clan on the battlefield, and you still have the nerve to toast grandma!"
As soon as these words were said, the entire banquet hall fell silent for an instant, and Mr. Zhang suddenly changed his expression (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster! - Didn't finish reading?
