Chapter 44: Zhu Family Visitors

Zhu family.

The servants in the house were busy from early morning, cooking beef and slaughtering sheep; this scene could already catch up with the New Year.

Wang Zhao cleaned the stables clean early in the morning.

Since Li Rui redeemed himself, he became the new horseman of the Zhu family.

He is still young.

He hasn't reached the qualifications to take an apprentice, so most of the time he is busy in the stables alone.

Fortunately, he has long been used to such days and doesn't feel tired.

Swept the stables over and over again with a broom.

"Today, Steward Zhu asked me to sweep the stables clean; it seems there is another big figure."

Wang Zhao's comprehension is not good, can't compare to Li Rui, and even not as good as the dead Ma Yang.

But he is very steady.

He will seriously do what the steward explains, do it twice if he can't do it once, and will never get bored; Master Zhu also likes this point of him.

Which family wouldn't like a diligent servant who doesn't slack off?

Just at this moment—

A familiar voice sounded behind him: "Yo, Little Zhao, still sweeping?"

Wang Zhao straightened up and wiped his sweat with his still-clean back of his hand: "Uncle Yong."

Most of the time, if someone calls you Little plus surname, the relationship is average; if they call the name directly, the relationship is already very intimate; if Little plus name, the two are iron buddies.

Wang Zhao and Yang Yong were both in the Zhu family, and because of Li Rui, they became friends across generations over time.

With each other, they could take care of each other and live better in this Zhu family.

Poor people just huddle together for warmth.

Wang Zhao asked curiously: "Uncle Yong, what big figure came to the mansion, how is it so grand?"

The spring duck knows first.

A mansion is the same; when there is a big event, often the guards will be the first to perceive it.

Yang Yong pursed his lips: "Who else, the young master is back from the Huaqing Sect, it seems there are a few fellow disciples coming together."

"It's only June now, why is the young master back?"

Wang Zhao was a bit surprised.

Young Master Zhu Yue is the future of the Zhu family, the future head of the family, and he naturally cares about Zhu Yue's affairs.

Yang Yong shrugged: "How could I, a guard, know about this?"

Just as the two were talking—

A burst of firecracker sounds suddenly sounded outside the door.

Wang Zhao's expression moved:

"Coming!"

Outside the main gate of the Zhu family.

Three large jujube-red horses stepped with vigorous steps, sounding a burst of hoofbeats on the bluestone road outside the alley.

Zhu Ping stood at the door with his family early on.

Neighbors around cast envious eyes.

Zhu Ping straightened his waist, his face full of pride.

Gave birth to a good son.

Zhu Yue is now a disciple of the Huaqing Sect, and may become a Seventh-Rank martial artist in the future; when he comes back to inherit the family business, he will definitely lead the Zhu family to new glory.

It is not impossible to become a century-old family like the three big families.

Zhu Ping felt that he hadn't lived in vain in this life.

Soon, his eyes brightened.

Zhu Yue's figure riding a sweat-blood horse appeared at the street corner, and those who came with him were Han Qin and Jiang Yan who had been to the Zhu family before.

Han Qin was still smiling as always: "Junior Brother Zhu, your family is truly a big family, really particular."

Zhu Yue squeezed out a smile, glancing at Jiang Yan who was slightly frowning beside him.

The smell of saltpeter permeating the street was disgusting.

Not long after.

Zhu Yue and the three arrived in front of the Zhu family crowd.

Zhu Ping smiled very happily: "Good son, two distinguished guests, meet again."

Han Qin smiled slightly: "Uncle Zhu."

Jiang Yan didn't speak, just nodded slightly to show respect.

Zhu Yue walked to Zhu Ping's side and lowered his voice: "Father, things like firecrackers that are not presentable should not be taken out in the future."

Zhu Ping nodded with a smile: "Since you don't like it, then don't set it off in the future."

Then the Zhu family crowd surrounded the three Huaqing Sect people and walked into the big courtyard.

A flash of imperceptible disappointment flashed in Zhu Ping's eyes.

"The child is big and not controlled by the parents."

Since Zhu Yue went to the Huaqing Sect, his vision has become higher and higher, and he has looked down on the Zhu family, and even the entire Qinghe.

There is nothing wrong with this.

But if it is placed on a candidate for family head, then the problem is big.

Zhu Ping sighed lightly.

He is afraid that his son is not good, but also worried that his son is too good.

Zhu family sighed.

Afraid that the son is not good, but also worried that the son is too good.

"Let him go."

Zhu Ping took a deep breath; he is the head of the Zhu family, that's true.

But he is still a father.

As long as Zhu Yue can live well, this family business can be given up if it is not inherited; his lineage will continue to branch out in other places and continue to prosper.

Everyone sat in the main hall.

Zhu Ping then politely inquired: "Yue'er, two, you can stay in Qinghe for a few more days this time; there are still some good places nearby suitable for cooling off."

Han Qin politely declined: "Uncle Zhu, no need for sightseeing; you are not an outsider, it's okay to say; we are here this time to assist Elder Jiang in dealing with the Ghost Gui Ming Jiao."

Elder Jiang?

Zhu Ping's pupils widened slightly.

Jiang Linxian!!

He is just a family head, naturally doesn't know the full picture of what happened in the city that night, but Jiang Linxian's reputation is like thunder.

Jiang Linxian actually came to Qinghe?!

Zhu Yue opened his mouth: "Father, this matter concerns Elder Jiang, you should stop asking."

"Yes, yes, yes."

Zhu Ping nodded repeatedly.

Knowing too much about some things will only bring disaster to the Zhu family; he has long developed the consciousness of putting away curiosity.

Zhu Yue turned his head to look at Jiang Yan on the side: "Junior Sister Jiang, the Ghost Gui Ming Jiao people are hiding deep, it will take a lot of days to find them, why not invite Elder Jiang to stay in my house for a few days?"

Jiang Yan shook her head: "Father is a leisurely person, seeing the head but not the tail, I don't know where he went either."

"Alright."

Zhu Yue felt a bit regretful.

Zhu Ping could no longer hide the shock in his eyes; this young girl in front of him is actually Jiang Linxian's daughter.

Noble girl!

He used some means back then to take down Zhu Yue's mother, and only after the wood was cooked did he climb to his current position by relying on the resources given by Zhu Yue's mother's family.

For Jiang Yan, he naturally didn't dare to use those filthy means.

But if Zhu Yue could become Jiang Linxian's son-in-law, the Zhu family head doesn't need to be inherited!

Zhu Yue looked at Jiang Yan without changing his expression.

In fact, he also thought the same way.

Jiang Yan said: "The Ghost Gui Ming Jiao's roots are intertwined, we need other forces to help."

Zhu Yue responded: "The Zhu family has some connections in the government, can help."

Since knowing Jiang Linxian is in Qinghe.

He has been thinking about showing his face more and leaving a good impression on his future father-in-law.

Jiang Yan shook her head: "The Zhu family is not enough, we need more and stronger people."
