With Zhang Tie's return, the atmosphere at Zhang Tie's home in the inner city of Jinwu City instantly became heated...
The sky is full of wind and snow outside, but the entire Zhang Mansion in the inner city is shrouded in a festive atmosphere. As the sky gradually darkens, red lanterns are hung everywhere in the inner city of Golden Crow City. Looking from a distance , in the inner city of Golden Crow City, there were trees and flowers everywhere, the lights were dim, and it was extremely bright.
In a restaurant not far from the outer city of Jinwu City, when it gets dark, the tables in the restaurant are almost full. Tables of guests in the restaurant look at the Zhang Mansion in the distance through the stained glass windows of the restaurant. , all of them were amazed.
"Waiter, what is the Zhang Mansion in Jinwu City doing today? Why is it so lively?" A pot-bellied businessman sitting by the window looked at the fiery red in the distance. When he came up, he asked.
At this time, many businessmen who came to Golden Crow City to pick up the full-effect potion gathered in this restaurant. They worked in large business groups, were in charge of small business houses, and even businessmen who went out to eat alone. Now It is already late December, the Chinese New Year is about to come, and the weather in Youzhou is not good. At this time, the people who have not left Jinwu City are almost all grasshoppers tied to the commercial chain of full-effect pharmaceuticals, waiting to be released. When getting goods before the Chinese New Year, these people regard the Zhang family as the gods of wealth and are very concerned about everything about the Zhang family. When someone couldn't help but ask the waiter about the Zhang family in the inner city, people at several tables around, All of them suddenly pricked up their ears and turned their heads to listen.
The waiter quickly placed the things he was carrying on the table and smiled, "This guest. I'm just a busboy in a restaurant, how could I know about the affairs of the City Lord's Mansion!"
Jinwu City belongs to the Zhang family. Zhang Tie's father is the city lord of Jinwu City, so many residents of Jinwu City are used to thinking that the inner city of Jinwu City is located. It is called the City Lord's Mansion to show the Zhang family's respected status in Jinwu City.
The waiter left, and everyone sitting above the restaurant looked at the bustle in the inner city with confusion. There was a middle-aged man with a long beard sitting next to the stairs, stroking his beard. After thinking for a while, he said, "Could it be that Master Yang is going to marry the daughter of the Zhu family of Yanzhou today, so the inner city is decorated with lights and decorations!"
"Master Yang is going to marry the daughter of the Zhu family in Yanzhou. Where did this old man hear this news?" After hearing what the middle-aged man said, a steward-looking man at the next table put down the wine glass in his hand. He suddenly became interested and asked curiously.
In a place with many businessmen, everyone likes to exchange some news. Although this is not a club, but when everyone chats, they don't have any identity. For businessmen, at least half of every gold coin they earn is based on news and connections, so they are sensitive to all kinds of news. In particular, I am very interested in all kinds of news related to the Zhang family, which holds the full potion.
And the "Master Yang" mentioned by many businessmen is naturally Zhang Tie's elder brother Zhang Yang.
"Haha, I just came from Yanzhou last time. The news of the marriage between the Zhu family and Huaiyuantang has long spread throughout the Zhu family. My news was said by a shopkeeper of the Zhu family. I heard that besides the Zhu family, In addition to a daughter who will marry Master Yang, the Zhang family will also have a daughter who will marry the grandson of the governor of Yanzhou. In this way, the Zhu and Zhang families will become even more intimate!"
"Haha. Thank you!" The steward who asked the question smiled and nodded to the middle-aged man who spoke, then called to the waiter and pointed to the table over there, "Bring a pot of good Huadiao to that man's table. , Count it as mine!”
The businessman who spoke also smiled and nodded.
"It's just that today is not an auspicious day. If Master Yang wanted to get married, he wouldn't choose today!" A tall and thin man at another table said, twirling a bunch of goat's whiskers on his chin.
"Haha, this guy can still read the auspicious days of the zodiac?" The businessmen at the tables next to him laughed.
Shaking his sleeves, the tall and thin businessman who was talking actually took out a palm-sized ten-year-old almanac from his sleeve in front of everyone, and proudly said, "To be honest, I am I have been doing business for decades. Whether I am returning home from a trip, cleaning up my shop, or opening a business, I never leave my hand with a thousand-year-old almanac. I have never encountered any big obstacles. I also have a lot of experience in looking at life, so I said In the middle of last month, I was passing through Sifang City on an airship that night. I looked through the almanac and calculated that the time was wrong. If I wanted to settle in Sifang City that night, my arrival at Golden Crow City would be delayed by one day. If I missed the auspicious day, I would not be able to get there. When we stayed in Sifang City, we didn't know that the bloody disaster broke out in Sifang City just one day after we left Sifang City. It would have been a big disaster if I had stayed on that day, and today is the day of Hai, which is the day when the moon and the weary are in conflict. It is the most taboo day to get married. If you get married today, you will be worried about the four dangers of punishment, conflict, destruction, and harm. Master Yang and the Zhu family have experts who are proficient in the calendar, and they will never choose such a day to get married or take concubines... "
"I admire it, I admire it..." The businessmen at the other tables all bowed their hands to this businessman who carried a ten-thousand-year-old almanac with him. Being a businessman to this level is considered a skill.
"If it's not a wedding reception at Master Yang's house, then why is it so lively?"
"Could it be a birthday wish for the master and his wife?"
"With such a lively arrangement, if it is a birthday celebration, the scene will definitely not be small. I am afraid that the road outside this restaurant has been crowded with people coming from all over to celebrate birthdays. But look at it now, the street outside is still the same as before. There are no Abnormally, there is no increase in the number of airships in the sky. How could it be a birthday celebration? Besides, if you want to celebrate a birthday, the excitement should have started in the morning and will not wait until now!" A businessman at another table shook his head and said.
Hearing what this man said made sense, everyone in the restaurant nodded.
"Then it could be that Master Yang is having another child, which is why it's so lively?"
"Probably not. A few days ago, several of Mr. Yang's wives accompanied the old lady to give porridge at the east gate. The ladies are very agile!" Another person shook his head.
It wasn't a wedding, a birthday, or a baby. The people in the restaurant became even more curious about the excitement of the inner city.
"Scoff..." Suddenly there was a scoff in the restaurant. Everyone turned their heads and saw laughter coming from a table of people sitting in the elegant seats of the restaurant. The screen of the elegant seats had been retracted. The other parts of the restaurant are connected together. There are three people sitting at the table in the private seats. The one who just laughed was one of them, a young man in his twenties who didn't look like a businessman, but rather had the air of a young man from an aristocratic family. Seeing everyone's eyes turning, the young man's face suddenly raised, he glanced at everyone with arrogant eyes, and said softly, "It's not Zhang Yang's wife Tian Ding, maybe it's Zhang Tie's wife Tian Ding." It’s uncertain!”
In this Golden Crow City, there are still people who dare to call the Zhang family brothers by their first names? Not to mention that Zhang Tie is the elder of Huaiyuantang, and has been avenged for a long time. The real culprit of the Fuhai City massacre has long been revealed. It is Zhang Yang. Now in Jinwu City, everyone close to the Zhang family calls him respectfully. The eldest young master, even the merchants traveling from north to south, must respectfully call him Master Yang.
Not to mention in Golden Crow City, even in the entire territory of Youzhou, there are definitely not many people who dare to call the Zhang family brothers so boldly.
The businessmen in the restaurant frowned slightly. For a moment, no one spoke. The restaurant, which was bustling just now, suddenly became deserted. After more than ten seconds, one person sat at a table. The guest in his fifties spoke calmly, "This guest may not know something. Elder Mu Shen of Huaiyuan Hall was wronged and left a few years ago. Now, although the Tingwei Mansion has revoked the arrest warrant for Elder Mu Shen, he has even I personally sent someone to the Zhang family to apologize, but Elder Mu Shen has not returned home in these years, so it is naturally impossible for Elder Mu Shen’s wife to have a child!”
"That's not necessarily true..." The young man who looked like a young man from an aristocratic family played with the wine glass in his hand, with a sarcastic smile on his face, "I heard that the last time Zhang Tie's wives were pregnant, they were also wanted in Zhang Tie. Something happened only ten months after leaving home. Calculating the time, it was really a coincidence. Elder Mu Shen had so many magical powers that he could actually get his wife pregnant without returning home. This time, Elder Mu Shen might show off his magical power again. , he made his wife pregnant without returning home. By the way, I heard that the family members of brothers Zhang Tie and Zhang Ping also lived in the inner city of Jinwu City. The two brothers Zhang Tie and Zhang Ping could Brothers and sisters are so respectful..."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the restaurant changed their expressions, and a pin drop could be heard in the restaurant that was bustling just now.
The expressions of the two guards beside the young man also changed. One of them quietly tugged on the young man's sleeve. The two tables of businessmen sitting in the private seats next to the young man suddenly looked like There was a red-hot iron plate placed under his buttocks, and he couldn't sit still for a moment. The merchants at the two tables glanced at the young man, without saying a word, and hurriedly left the table to pay, as if they were fleeing from the god of plague, staying away from the guests at that table. a little.
The eyes of the people at the other tables suddenly turned cold when they looked at the private seats. The guest in his fifties who had just been talking to the young man at another table glanced at the young man again. Still calm, not even angry, but in his calm eyes, it was as if he was looking at a lifeless corpse or a piece of waste wood about to be thrown into the fire pit. It was not just him, the restaurant owner Some of them looked at the three people sitting on Yazuo Mountain in the same way.
Feeling that the atmosphere in the restaurant was wrong, even a little creepy, a guard next to the young man swallowed a mouthful of saliva and whispered, "Sir, let's go..."
"What's there to be afraid of? What the Zhang brothers can do, why others can't say..."
