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, having been stared at by that woman with a nymphomaniacal expression, Zhang Tie almost became the public enemy of the unmarried young men in the old house. 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, apart from blaming themselves for being idiots, Zhang Tie had no obligation to explain. The only thing that made Zhang Tie feel a little funny was that he
Several of his cousins actually made no secret of 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, but naturally there will also be a few shallow people.
The two uncles who are close to Zhang Tie's family have left for the Eastern Continent to join their parents a month ago. My brother also needs some help. Zhang Tie, the two uncles' family, also
Several cousins and cousins are not here 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. Maybe 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 biological grandmother is the old man's fourth wife, also known as the fourth house. The first house and the fourth house have never gotten along well.
Too harmonious. 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 did not live a very satisfactory life at home. Therefore, they have developed a cautious attitude since childhood.
In terms of personality, it’s only in the past two years that as Zhang Tie’s family has gradually gotten better and better, the relationship between Dafang and Fourth Fang has eased a bit.
Seeing the undisguised jealousy in the eyes of those people looking at him, Zhang Tie understood that that woman might have an unusual family background. Those people's jealousy of him was not entirely due to that woman's beauty.
In fact, for those who come here to celebrate their birthdays, they are just beautiful women. To them, they are just toys and cheap goods, and few people will care.
"How did you meet the daughter of the Wang family?" Zhang Su asked Zhang Tie in a low voice.
"Would you believe me if I said that I just now knew that woman's surname was Wang?" 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 is the largest ore and steel trader in Huaiyuan County. There are more than ten minerals in Huaiyuan County and other places in Jinyun Kingdom, 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 of 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, and they are 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!" Zhang Tie joked in a low voice.
Zhang Su glared at Zhang Tie, "I already have a crush on someone, you don't know?"
Only then did Zhang Tie remember 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 how to make money by running workshops at first, but later, Zhang Tie learned from other people that Zhang Su already had a confidante in Lingtian Courtyard, and that senior sister seemed to have a surname of Fang.
Zhang Tie patted his head and asked, "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 qualifications are considered to be relatively outstanding, so he can advance to the tenth level in five years, while for many others, they can advance to the tenth level 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 party 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 two hundred people in total, and almost twenty people were seated.
Set up a large group table.
The old man and the eldest lady of the Zhang family sat at the head table. After the banquet started, the younger members of the family took turns going up to toast the eldest lady’s birthday and say some auspicious words. The old man and the eldest lady sat down and cordially greeted every junior who came up to toast.
After saying a few words, the eldest lady will also give a gold ingot, which symbolizes happiness and good luck, as a red envelope to the younger generations.
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 directly. The eldest lady gave it
Each gold ingot weighs less than one kilogram.
It's less than forty gold coins. Here, for those who come up to celebrate their birthdays, it's just a wish. But this is also a scene only found in rich families. Ordinary people, one or twenty gold coins are just one
It's a huge sum of money, how could it be used like this?
This junior birthday celebration is an important part of the wealthy mansion'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 a house full of descendants and great wealth.
The general is going to have a military parade, and here is the part to celebrate his grandson's birthday. To put it bluntly, it is actually a special military parade for 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.
Lots and lots of them.
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 the various descendants of the Zhang family.
figure.
In the entire Jinyun Kingdom, there are countless wealthy families whose marriages began when each family congratulated their elders on their birthdays.
…
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.
Such a link is actually dispensable for Zhang Tie, but it happened to happen on such a day. 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 to toast. Few of the younger members of the Zhang family were actually using their chopsticks at this time. Only Zhang Tie was sitting at his desk eating as if no one else was there. 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 for a while, and without any time to speak, he made a gesture.
"Four days!" Zhang Su was shocked.
Zhang Tie nodded...
Zhang Tie was practicing meditation on the airship a few days ago and hasn't eaten anything. Yesterday, he arrived at Huaiyuan Hall and spent the night with the elders. Counting today, it has been exactly four days. Seeing so many delicacies on the table, Zhang Tie
Wherever you need to pretend to feel wronged in front of others, you naturally open your mouth and eat. The things placed on the table are 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, so he looked at Zhang Tie sympathetically at this time.
…
While Zhang Tie was eating, three people at a table in the distance were also quietly observing Zhang Tie. However, the eyes of the three people were different. One of the two women's eyes was full of interest, and the other was full of interest.
He was heartbroken, but the man's sophisticated eyes were deeper, with a hint 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 doesn't even have a good image on such occasions.
A person who has no regard for the reincarnation of a hungry ghost? 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 hurriedly
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 nonchalant in this kind of 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 someone 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 demons 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 Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
