Several guards guarding the door of the Zhang family's old house did not recognize Zhang Tie. When they saw Zhang Tie walking over with his legs swinging and his hands empty, 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 around and looked at him with interest.
"Nana, you are from a girl's family, why are you so rude and just staring at a man? Today is the 70th birthday of the old lady of the Zhang family. You can't be as wild as before. Your Aunt Xue is going to introduce a few people today.
Let me introduce you to some of the talents of the younger generation of the Zhang family." Sitting next to the girl is a graceful Chinese woman in her forties with her hair tied up. The woman's face is similar to that of the girl.
They are similar and well maintained. The string of top-quality purple beads around the woman's neck and the emerald green bracelet on her hand are both heirloom jewelry. All of these silently highlight the woman's appearance.
identity.
"The Zhang family in Jinhai City has become more and more prosperous in recent years. A few years ago, this family was still a little behind our Wang family. In the past few years, the Zhang family has become prosperous in Jinhai City. The Zhang family has become more and more prosperous in recent years.
The asset scale of Galaxy Shipyard has jumped to more than 10 million gold coins, jumping from the third place to the second place in Jinhai City. Mr. Zhang Haitian of this family is indeed a figure!" A man of four or five sitting next to the woman said
The ten-year-old man wearing glasses looked at the lively scene of the family's old house outside the car and said softly.
"I heard that the Golden Crow Merchant Group seems to have a way to obtain the full-effect potion, and even the Changfeng Merchant Group can have a hand in the business. It is also the property of this family!" Speaking of the full-effect potion, the lady also suddenly
Eyes shine.
The man frowned slightly, "The Golden Crow Business Group seems to have little relationship with the Zhang family's old residence. There is not much business contact between the two parties, but the head of the Jinwu Business Group, Zhang Yang, is indeed the grandson of the old man Zhang Haitian.
!”
"What's going on? Doesn't the Zhang family's old house hold shares in the Jinwu Business Group?" The woman was slightly surprised.
"Haha, Mr. Zhang Haitian has four wives, eleven children, and dozens of grandchildren. Many of the grandchildren are now married and have families. It is normal for such a big family to have some problems together. Every family has its own problems.
Come on. Isn’t it the same in our family?” The man chuckled softly.
The woman stopped talking.
The girl sitting in the car stuck out her tongue.
Today, the Zhang family's old house is really busy. The luxury cars are 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 and guiding the guests' drivers to park the cars.
And take the guests to the old house.
The girl got out of the car and couldn't help but look back. The guy was still standing at the door waiting, but a guard walked quickly towards this side. When he met a guard from the old house, he joined the guard.
He whispered a few words into his ear. As soon as the guard heard this, he quickly walked towards the gate.
…
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. The Zhang family's old house seemed to be very lively today. Usually there would not be so many people here.
people.
After a few minutes, Zhang Tie saw a guard from the house with a familiar face hurried over.
"Ah, Master Zhang Tie..." The guard had met Zhang Tie and was shocked when he saw Zhang Tie. He didn't expect that Zhang Tie would appear at this time. He quickly asked the guards to let Zhang Tie in, "Ah.
, these guards are all new recruits from the old house, Master Zhang Tie, you haven’t been here for a long time, these guards have never seen you, please don’t take offense, Master Zhang Tie..."
If the person who eats the food of a guard offends the host's family, then he will not be able to eat the food no matter what. The old man will not keep such a bodyguard in the old house. This is a big taboo.
Hearing what the guards in the house said, the two guards who had just 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 feel at ease living here..." Zhang Tie said with a smile, not minding at all.
Hearing that Zhang Tie was so kind, the two guards who didn't recognize Zhang Tie breathed a sigh of relief and said to themselves, they didn't expect the old man's grandson to have such a good temper. It's just that the old man's other grandsons all came here in luxury cars.
Luxury cars were passing by, and everyone was cheering in front of them. They were very impressive. This person came in a taxi. He seemed to be not doing well in the Zhang family. Moreover, for an occasion like today, he appeared casually wearing a samurai uniform.
Got some...
The guard who knew Zhang Tie didn't say much to the new guard, but respectfully led the way and took Zhang Tie to the old house.
"It's very lively here today, what's going on?" Zhang Tie asked the guard.
"Today is the eldest lady's 70th birthday. To celebrate her birthday, more people came to the old house!"
"Ah, is Zhang Su here?" Zhang Tie didn't expect that he would catch up with such a day.
Although Zhang Su and Zhang Tie had both stayed in Qianlong Hall, they only met a few times. Later, as Zhang Su went out to perform family tasks, Zhang Tie left Qianlong Hall after the battle in Tianhan City.
, the two people have not seen each other again in the past five years.
"Master Zhang Su came yesterday..."
Zhang Tie thought for a moment, Zhang Su is the grandson of the eldest lady, it is her 70th birthday, so it is reasonable for Zhang Su to take the time to come over.
Looking at the parked cars along the way, Zhang Tie knew that there would be many people coming to the old house today.
Arriving at the door of the old house, Zhang Tie asked the guards to leave and walked in.
…
The Zhang family's old house was also newly decorated today and looked particularly 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 piles.
While chatting, in addition to people from the Zhang family, many were guests. Most of the people who could come to the Zhang family’s old house to wish the eldest lady a birthday at this time were relatives and friends of the Zhang family and prominent figures in Jinhai City. These
The 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. He was chatting with people. There were a lot of young people from sixteen to twenty years old, both men and women. Everyone gathered around Zhang Su.
, like stars surrounding the moon, surrounded him and listened to what Zhang Su was talking about.
Zhang Su was wearing a lieutenant colonel military uniform 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 saying something, there were a few girls aged sixteen or seventeen who couldn't help but cover their mouths with their hands and let out an exclamation.
Compared with five years ago, Zhang Su now looks more mature and confident, and his whole person has a majestic and heroic feeling.
Zhang Tie just glanced at Zhang Su and judged Zhang Su's current level. Level 10. It seems that Zhang Su's progress has not been slow over the years. Of course, this is not slow, but it is only compared to Huaiyuantang's.
For other people, compared to a proud girl like Lan Yunxi, they are naturally a little slower, but compared to a monster like Zhang Tie who has endless romances. There is no comparison at all, let alone Zhang Su.
In the entire Weiyi subcontinent, there is no one 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 backbone no matter where he is. The killer of the Zhen family who Tianhan City sent to Qianlong Island to kill Zhang Tie was also a tenth level person.
level, and the military uniform and rank on Zhang Su also illustrate the status he holds at this 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 stunned for a moment, then suddenly stood up with some excitement, ignored those who surrounded him, and strode towards Zhang Tie.
As Zhang Su stood up, those around him turned their attention to Zhang Tie.
Some of those people were Zhang Tie's cousins. They had met Zhang Tie in his old house a few years ago and had some vague impressions of Zhang Tie. However, the young people among the guests had a vague impression of Zhang Tie.
Don’t understand anymore.
"Ah, who is this person? I haven't seen him before!" A young man asked a person from the Zhang family next to him.
"Well, his name is Zhang Tie, and he is a cousin of the family!" The man returned calmly.
The name of Zhang Tie's Eagle of Serness is famous among the troops stationed in Serness by Huaiyuantang. In fact, not many people in Huaiyuan County know about it, because this is a popular name among Xibo people.
The distinction of honorary titles is not taken too seriously among the Chinese. The Chinese have their own standards for judging honors. Later, due to Zhang Tie's capture, various rumors spread in the Cernes war zone, and Huaiyuantang treated him badly.
There was no publicity, everything was treated coldly, and in the Zhang family's old house, all the information about Zhang Tie basically stayed in the shock caused by Zhang Tie's expulsion from Qianlong Hall a year and a half ago.
Zhang Tie was expelled from Qianlong Hall, and the old man behaved tepidly. Some of his peers below felt sorry for him, and some secretly took pleasure in his misfortune. In a big family, the younger generation's comparisons and competitions are everywhere.
have.
"Cousin!" Zhang Su walked up to him and Zhang Tie called out politely.
"Are you still alive?" Zhang Su's face was full of excitement, his eyes were slightly red, and his whole person showed his true feelings, "Last time I went back to Qianlong Island, I heard about you from Junior Brother Liu Xu.
I thought... thought..."
Seeing Zhang Su's natural expression of emotion, Zhang Tie felt warm in his heart. When he was in Qianlong Hall, he had long known that his cousin was a little arrogant, but overall, he was cold-faced and warm-hearted.
He is a person of good temperament, and he is quite responsible and decisive.
Zhang Tie didn't say anything, and just hugged Zhang Su tightly.
In terms of blood, the two are brothers. In Qianlong Hall, the two are brothers. When the holy war comes, Zhang Tie resists the demons in Cernes, and Zhang Su eliminates the demons in Qilan Kingdom. The two of them are more
They are comrades who fought back to back for the human race. This relationship, coupled with some common experiences the two had on Qianlong Island, needless to say many things. In this hug, they gave each other a few heavy pats.
Lower back, that's enough.
Zhang Tie is not conspicuous in the old house, and even when he walks into the old house, few people notice him. However, 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 passionate and affectionate embrace between the two people at the entrance of the hall immediately turned everyone's attention. The housekeeper of Zhang Tie's old house who knew Zhang Tie hurriedly went to report it after seeing Zhang Tie's arrival.
The old man of the Zhang family.
After the hug broke apart, Zhang Su adjusted his emotions, took a deep breath, and walked into the back hall with Zhang Tie.
"The old man has been thinking about you recently. He also knows about your stay in the Cernes war zone. There has been no news from you in the past year. The old man has been very worried. If he knew that you could come today, he would be very happy.
…”
Zhang Tie smiled. He didn't say much and 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 over.
He grabbed Zhang Tie's hand and wouldn't let go.
"Okay, okay, it'll be good to come back, it'll be good to come back..."
Following the old man is the eldest lady of the old house. Today the eldest lady is wearing a purple dress with gold threads. There is a piece of green jade as big as an egg on her forehead. She is holding a gorgeous crystal Ruyi in her hand.
, looks very graceful and wealthy. Although she is celebrating her 70th birthday, the eldest lady’s hair is only one-third gray. She looks like a person in her fifties, and she doesn’t look old at all.
.
"I just returned to Huaiyuan County last night. I didn't know that today is the eldest lady's 70th birthday, so I didn't prepare any gifts. Please don't be offended, eldest 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 away fighting for the family. For you two to come back safely today, it is the best gift for me! The old man has not been so happy for a long time.
Yes..." The eldest lady also said very happily. Regardless of whether this was true or false, hearing it in people's ears did make people feel warm.
"Did you report to the family when you came back this time?" The old man asked with concern, and there was a profound meaning in his words.
"Well, it's already been reported, it's okay..."
Seeing that Zhang Tie had already reported that he was fine, the old man was completely relieved. In the old man's opinion, if Zhang Tie could come back to report after being captured, and if he could stand in front of him in good condition after one day, it meant that everything was really fine.
.Otherwise, even if the captured person can come back alive, if there is really a problem, strict scrutiny within the family will be inevitable.
"It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if young people experience some setbacks. The worst thing is to start from scratch. As long as the mountains are there, you won't have to worry about running out of firewood!" The old man also comforted Zhang Tie. When the old man said this, he seemed to want to ask Zhang Tie about his subsequent experience, but
Seeing many people gathered around, I kept silent.
Zhang Tie smiled and did not explain much. In the eyes of most people, he was first expelled from Qianlong Hall, and the last news was that he was captured in Serness. Now that he appeared again, his current identity must be
It's not very glorious. All the news on Yiyang Mountain is now sealed to the outside world. Even if the deacons and deacon disciples know something, they are restricted by the family's strict rules and dare not tell anything about the mountain.
In the entire Huaiyuan County, except for a few people, most of the others still don't know that they have been promoted to knights.
When they saw Mr. Zhang Haitian and his wife, who was celebrating his birthday today, walking out of the back hall to see Zhang Tie, many people in the front hall were a little surprised, and many people gathered around him without knowing it.
"Old man, who is this?" a guest asked curiously.
"This is also my grandson. He has been fighting in the Cernes War Zone with the Jinyun Kingdom's airship troops. He just came back today!" the old man said lightly.
As the old man spoke, he glanced at Zhang Su. Zhang Su immediately grabbed Zhang Tie and said to the people around him with a smile, "Uncles, my cousin just came back today. I want to take him to meet a few people."
My friend, there are a few cousins over there who want to hear from my cousin how the humans competed with the demons in the Cernes war zone, so I will take him away first!"
"Haha... I didn't expect that the Zhang family also has two heroes who can compete with the demons. The old man is so lucky. Among these grandsons, there are quite a few who are versatile in both civil and military affairs!" The guests around laughed, and Zhang Su also dismissed Zhang Tie.
He was led to the small hall where he had just arrived.
From the performance of the old man and Zhang Su, Zhang Tie felt that the old man protected him, and seeing Zhang Su and Zhang Tie getting along so harmoniously, the old man was always relieved. The smile on his face will be revealed from now on.
, it never stopped.
When the old man was happy, everyone in the old house, starting from the eldest lady, became happy. Even those who were unhappy had a smile on their faces, and the old house of this family became even more lively.
.
The young people who had just gathered around Zhang Su were indeed very interested in Zhang Tie. As soon as Zhang Su pulled Zhang Tie over, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl immediately cast curious eyes on Zhang Tie.
Although Zhang Tie is already in his twenties at this moment, he seems to be about the same age as that little girl.
It seemed that the little girl who met her peers immediately asked Zhang Tie enthusiastically what he was doing in the Cernes War Zone and what his military rank was.
"I fought with the airship troops in the Cernes war zone. I was responsible for flying gliders and had the rank of sergeant!" Zhang Tie replied seriously - the only air cavalry in Cernes did fight with the airship troops, and
His military rank is indeed Staff 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 Sernes War Zone here again, so Zhang Su kept silent and let Zhang Tie
Go and fool the little girl.
"Ah..." Upon hearing Zhang Tie's answer, the little girl's eyes immediately showed a look of disappointment. Looking at Zhang Su and the Zhang family's old man's attitude towards Zhang Tie, the little girl thought he was some important person. No.
Thinking of a soldier flying a glider, not just the little girl. The curious eyes of several young women around him also quietly moved away from Zhang Tie. Many people in their circle, although young,
But under the influence of their ears and eyes, many people have been able to know what kind of people are valuable to them since childhood. There is no doubt that a staff sergeant who can only fly gliders in the Sernes war zone is obviously not like them.
The channel should be followed.
"Then what were you doing before you joined the army? From what I see, you seem to be under eighteen years old. How can you serve in the army?" The little girl finally asked a question out of curiosity.
"I stayed in Qianlong Hall for a few days before, but was expelled later, but I can barely be considered a qualified warrior!" 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 just a guy who couldn't survive in Qianlong Hall.
…
Zhang Tie calmed down, 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 birthday of the eldest lady. Originally, he wanted to come to the old house to visit the old man and then leave. Now it seems that he can't leave if he doesn't stay here until dinner. It would be too unkind to leave now.
Then just wait.
Zhang Tie was listening to others chatting and drinking wine. In the sea of consciousness, he had visualized four golden abacus at the same time, performing different four operations.
Zhang Tie was already able to master dual-tasking in the past. Now, after being promoted to a knight, and with his sharply increased mental power, he began to try to divide one of his thoughts from two of his multi-tasking into four.
Start controlling that different abacus.
This difficult attempt is actually similar to Zhang Tie's previous attempt to visualize two abacuses, starting from one to two.
When he could multi-purpose, Zhang Tie had actually felt the huge value of "Abacus's Arithmetic", but what Zhang Tie knew even more clearly was that the value of "Abacus's Arithmetic" was far more than that.
The greater the number of abacus visualized, the more obvious the effect of "Abacus Arithmetic" on improving mental power will be. When two abacus are visualized, "Abacus Divine Arithmetic" has already improved mental power.
It is twice as good as visualizing one abacus. After successfully visualizing four abacus, the effect of "Abacus Arithmetic" on improving mental power becomes four times.
Originally, the effect of "Pearl's Arithmetic" on improving mental power was very limited and very rare. However, after this effect could be increased four times, Zhang Tie unknowingly felt that "Abacus's Divine Arithmetic" might already have a comparable one.
The effect of practicing the secret method of spiritual power.
What if we visualize eight, sixteen, or thirty-two? At that time, what effect will "Abrasive Arithmetic" have on cultivating spiritual power?
Just thinking about that prospect made Zhang Tie feel vaguely excited.
And this is indeed not the only effect of "Pearl's Mental Arithmetic". The most important effect of "Pearl's Mental Arithmetic" is actually the distraction technique...
After one thought can be divided into more and more parts, from being able to do two things at once to being able to do four things at once, or even doing eight things at once... what will happen?
Zhang Tie had a vague feeling that in the end, "The Divine Calculation" might have terrifying value that no one could have imagined...
…
At some point, a gust of fragrant wind appeared beside Zhang Tie. When he smelled the not-unfamiliar aroma, Zhang Tie sighed. Is it 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 just fooling around and deceiving 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 wearing a gorgeous lady's dress. There was a kind of brilliance in the woman's eyes. That kind of brilliance was very dangerous, just like a naughty child who discovered something very interesting.
"So what?" Zhang Tie raised his chin slightly, "Are you going to bite me?"
"Otherwise, tell me what you were like in the Sernes war zone, and I promise not to tell anyone else!" The woman named Nana looked curious like a little girl.
Zhang Tie's response to such a childish suggestion was to simply roll his eyes and ignore it.
"What do you want to say? Otherwise, let's have another racing competition. If you lose, you have to listen to me!" The woman rolled her eyes and said slyly.
"Little girl, your mother is calling you. Go and see your future husband. If you are rebellious in adolescence, just go racing. It doesn't matter how many piercings you have in your ears. Your family is rich anyway, so put some on them."
High-level recovery potions are just fine, and you can pretend to be a lady on such occasions. After you get married, remember to give your husband a few more children. It can also be considered as a contribution to the human race. Take the children, walk the dog, and do your hair every day at home.
Or whatever, just be your young mistress. Many people will die in the war, and you really can’t help it. You must not be interested in the war. If you want to hear stories, read knight novels!"
The woman was stunned. She followed Zhang Tie's raised chin and looked over. She saw her mother and Aunt Xue standing in the distance with a man in his twenties wearing a dressy dress. Her mother was looking at her worriedly.
He signaled him to come over with his eyes, he...how did he know that the piercings in his ears were filled with high-level recovery potion.
This bastard!
…
However, Zhang Tie still misjudged the fierceness of this woman. Under the gazes of two women and a man over there, this woman actually seemed not to notice, but was sitting very ladylike on the sofa next to him.
He sat down and didn't say anything. Instead, he smiled sweetly at himself, then put his arms on the armrests of the sofa, leaned sideways, and looked at himself with a smile on his face.
He looked at himself obsessively, his eyes full of affection.
This scene is just like the one in the painting.
Soon, Zhang Tie felt the lethality of this woman. First, the man waiting for her over there cast a burning look with jealousy on him, and then, even several young people in the room also looked at him.
He turned his attention to himself, and even the girls who had lost interest in him began to look at him in surprise again.
Zhang Su also had a strange look on his face, thinking that his cousin was too awesome. When he was in Black Flame City, he could have dozens of girlfriends and confidants at the same time without saying a word, and he could even win over all those women.
I brought him back to Huaiyuan County in a friendly manner, and I just sat here for a while. I was so low-key, how could I have this daughter of the Wang family so fascinated... (To be continued...)
