Chapter 245

Caiyang Duojie didn't know her son's change in state of mind, seeing him in a daze, she asked,

"Guigui, what are you thinking about?"

"Nothing, I was thinking that if you don't want to go overseas, then don't go."

Zhang Gui came back to his senses and said with a smile:

"We'll talk about it when you want to."

"Unless you get married immediately, take a few more wives and concubines, and give birth to ten or eight children in one breath.

Maybe I can think about it, and take the grandchildren to go overseas to be happy."

Caiyang Duojie said half-truth and half-false.

It is hard to hide from a mother urging marriage, Zhang Gui could only play deaf and dumb and change the subject,

"Amu, it's time for dinner.

How about we go to the 'Sauce Garden' to eat pancakes rolled with shrimp paste and pumpkin paste, accompanied by hot millet porridge."

"You play dumb as soon as you talk about this.

It didn't matter when you were young, but now you are eighteen.

Even if you don't get married immediately, you should find some confidantes to be with, right."

"Amu, you are so enlightened, one is not enough, and you want me to 'find some confidantes.'

Do you want me to be as wolf-hearted and dog-lunged as Zhang Bashan."

Zhang Gui curled his lips and said.

Caiyang Duojie was stunned, patted her son's head backhand, and said no more.

Zhang Gui muttered in a low voice,

"Amu, even if you beat me to death, I will say that Zhang Bashan failed you for a lifetime, and is a wolf-hearted and dog-lunged bastard!

In the future, even if I become a demon god, become an ancestor, or become a saint, I will still say that my biological father is a wolf-hearted and dog-lunged thing.

In this life, I have a mother but no father!

Let all parents in the world know that children are not born to be their children.

The grace of feeding is hard to repay in three lives; only giving birth but not raising is a grudge, not a grace!

Now you are restraining me from stretching.

But that Zhang Bashan had better pray that you can practice and live a long, long time.

Or that he dies early himself.

Otherwise, there will definitely be retribution."

"You child is truly a person of the barbarian tribe.

Born with a temperament of 'not respecting false ethics, directly taking true freedom, and killing and cutting by heart.'

It's no wonder that after you rose to power, Zhang Bashan never dared to come to you to beg for mercy.

It seems that blood is connected, even if he didn't raise you, he understands you better than others.

Alright, let's not talk about these old things.

Amu will take you to eat dinner.

I will personally make you scallion oil pork fat pancakes."

"Excellent, excellent, I have been running around visiting friends for an urgent matter since I came back from Xianrong Island these days.

I really didn't eat well or sleep well.

I just want to eat something greasy to satisfy my craving.

Let's go quickly."

Zhang Gui clapped his hands and laughed, supporting his mother's arm and walking toward the door.

"Your mother is not yet forty, you don't need to act filial here.

Let me tell you, kid, just half a month ago I added a 500-liao large cargo ship to the firm, specializing in collecting grain and transporting rice and flour.

Who doesn't say I have courage.

You really think I'm an old lady and still need support..."

Caiyang Duojie grabbed her son's hand backhand, holding it like when he was a child.

While chatting, she led Zhang Gui out of the back gate of the "Longhu Curtain Office Yamen."

Mother and son arrived at the "Dagui Grocery Sauce Garden" at the head of the commercial street next to the Zhihai Town port.

Mother personally made pancakes in the back kitchen on the right half of the shop.

Son ran to the middle by himself, next to the large vats containing fish and shrimp paste, chili paste, pumpkin paste, and many other pickles, and dug several sea bowls of various sauces.

Served a basin of ready-made thick porridge, and began to eat and drink with a horse ladle.

At this time, the Ming Song Southern Kingdom had superficially restored a peaceful scene.

Coupled with more and more common people fleeing from the Northern Frontier.

Docks everywhere, including Zhihai Town, had all restored a deformed prosperity.

And on the main street of Zhihai Dock.

Knowing who this young man was, wearing a plain cyan fine cotton padded jacket, looking ordinary, and eating porridge and pickles.

And big merchants and old acquaintances who thought they had the status to step forward to salute and greet.

Whether passing by the "Dagui Grocery Sauce Garden" unintentionally or intentionally.

Would all enter with a smiling face, bow and salute, and greet Zhang Gui warmly.

In order to at least get a familiar face, so that if there is something to ask for in the future, there will be one more impression.

Regarding this, Zhang Gui also responded enthusiastically with a smiling face.

After all, he is the only master of the "capital element" in this world, so he naturally cannot treat merchants coldly.

After a while.

Caiyang Duojie finally finished making the pork fat pancakes.

Zhang Gui was just about to grab them.

Suddenly, a handsome young man dressed in brocade, with an imposing manner and a face of righteousness, strode into the "Dagui Grocery Sauce Garden."

He went straight to Zhang Gui, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed three times, "bang, bang, bang,"

"Li Zhende of the Muxiangchuan Li family, pays respects to the Caiyang Heir."

"Ah, this, Young Master Li, why be so polite, please, please get up quickly."

The person coming to pay respects publicly in front of everyone, and reporting his family as the "Muxiangchuan Li family," made Zhang Gui have some expectations.

He swallowed his saliva and reluctantly retracted his hand reaching for the delicious food.

He stood up and helped up Li Zhende, who was kneeling and refusing to get up.

And Li Zhende explained while getting up:

"Heir, please listen.

I am the nephew of your former 'Longhu Curtain Office' Zaicheng, Uncle Yunbo.

After the clan's public discussion, I have just inherited the family property of the old man.

The reason it took so long was mainly because of the corpse of the 'Green Elephant,' which has been controversial.

In short, everything has settled down now.

I actually inherited my uncle's family property, and according to the ancestral rites, I should be his 'successor.'

You personally carried the coffin into the forest for the old man, built a grave, and set up a monument.

You have a grace as high as the sky and as deep as the earth to me.

I came to Zhihai Town to pay respects twice before, but missed you.

I didn't expect to pass by accidentally this time, thinking it was late, and wanted to stop and rest.

But I accidentally ran into you.

It is truly heaven's arrangement, allowing me to express my feelings for one ten-thousandth!"

Saying that, he was about to kneel again......

A successor refers to the son of a brother of the same clan within the five degrees of mourning who inherits the succession, and while not changing the title, continues the bloodline for both the biological father and the uncle.

Marrying two wives and continuing the incense for two families.

Ethically, it is no different from a biological son.

So since Zhang Gui originally sent off Li Yunbo for the troubled "Muxiangchuan Li family."

Then it is only natural for Li Zhende, as a successor, to express his gratitude, and according to the old rites, to kowtow three times and bow nine times until his head bleeds.

But reason is reason, reality is reality.

Not to mention kowtowing three times and bowing nine times, being able to do things to the extent of Li Zhende is already extremely rare.

Maybe there is also an unknown small abacus.

So feeling that Li Zhende was about to kneel again, Zhang Gui hurriedly helped him all the way to the table and pressed him onto the wooden stool,

"Since Zaicheng Yunbo was my right-hand man and my friend of different generations before.

He met with an accident, and I had no choice but to send him on his last journey and bury him in the earth.

It is also a matter of course.

Young Master Zhende doesn't need to thank me to this extent."
