Chapter 270: Zhuang Clan's Banquet

Ah? Young master, when did you go out? The shop assistant scratched his head, pointing to the back courtyard, then to the gate.

After he opened the door, he also didn't see anyone leaving.

When did that young master go out? How could he not have seen it?

Jiang Yunchu laughed heartily, looking at his appearance, and helplessly replied, "I can do magic; I can directly transform to the outside, then walk back in."

The shop assistant's mouth twitched, "Young master, although I'm not smart, look, do I seem like a fool?"

Although the words weren't spoken, that expression already fully conveyed everything.

Looking at his lively face, Jiang Yunchu went to the back courtyard, leaving only a burst of unrestrained laughter.

"Did you sleep well?" Zhuang Second Master actually didn't stay at the Zhuang Clan last night, although the elder brother and his wife urged him to stay, but because there were two unknown identities here, he still felt uneasy.

"I slept very well, junior thanks Zhuang Second Master for your care." Jiang Yunchu smiled broadly, following the principle of smiling three-tenths at everyone and not striking a smiling face.

Before Zhuang Second Master could speak further, he immediately furrowed his brows.

Outside, nobody knows Zhuang Second Master's identity.

It's just this small town; the few who know are not many, and they are mostly elderly.

But this young lady, with a single sentence, exposed his identity—just who is he?

"Zhuang Second Master, don't be nervous; Aunt Zhuang Miao said that from childhood, the one who doted on her most wasn't her parents, but her second uncle."

"When I saw this courtyard yesterday, I already guessed your identity; it's just that on a first meeting, it's not good to overdo it." Jiang Yunchu smiled generously and politely, also explaining the matter once over.

Looking at Zhuang Second Uncle's appearance, she felt much more at ease with the Zhuang Clan.

If Lustrous Jade Soap needed an agency shop, the Zhuang Clan would definitely be the best choice, whether in character or scale; she had previously sent people to investigate covertly, and this time she came for a covert visit, plus the evaluations of the Zhuang Clan by people in the small town, all gave her options.

"He's actually a smart person."

"Since you've guessed my identity, the old man won't beat around the bush with you, young master; my elder brother and his wife are preparing a banquet to welcome the two young masters." Zhuang Second Master smiled, looking at Jiang Yunchu's expression, and became more candid.

Yesterday's knot in the heart has been largely untied; the previous Maitreya Buddha-like smile was fake, but now it carries some warmth.

"Better to obey than to show respect."

Jiang Yunchu nodded, clasped his hands in a fist, and made a slight bow.

Zhuang Second Master burst out laughing, "I really like this junior of yours."

Whether speaking or handling affairs, he makes people feel comfortable.

That day, Jiang Yunchu visited several real estate agencies and also looked at some manors and large tracts of land; although he hadn't decided yet, he had a rough idea.

My great-aunt previously wrote a letter asking the Zhuang Clan to look into it; if I now decide on my own, it would be somewhat disrespectful to the Zhuang Clan.

"Youngster has seen the Zhuang Clan's elder master and lady." Jiang Yunchu made a slight bow.

Madam Zhuang quickly walked a few steps, then took hold of Jiang Yunchu, staring at him for a while, "You child, returning home, why are you so polite?"

Zhuang Yan and Zhuang Wei exchanged a glance, somewhat puzzled; although their mother is mild and generous, she never treats strangers this way.

How come upon seeing Kang Yun, his attitude changed?

Is it because of the person introduced by his sister?

But looking at Kang Yun's appearance, they felt a bit uneasy, wondering if it's just because he's handsome.

"Too much courtesy is no blame." Jiang Yunchu smiled, and with Madam Zhuang's support, he also stood up.

Afterwards, he nodded at Zhuang Yan and Zhuang Wei, "I have met the two uncles of the Zhuang Clan."

Zhuang Yan and Zhuang Wei's scrutinizing gaze suddenly shifted, and they immediately smiled and nodded.

"No need to be so polite, are you hungry? Let's eat." Madam Zhuang's hand kept holding Jiang Yunchu's, from the moment she helped him up, she never let go.

Such a situation rarely occurs.

Indeed, it has never happened before; the mother is kind to everyone, but only close to her own family.

Now the situation, how does everything seem strange?

Zhuang Second Master also didn't understand, and together with the two nephews, he was completely bewildered.

Only Elder Master Zhuang and Madam Zhuang exchanged a glance, mainly because their faces were truly too similar.

"Here is glutinous rice chicken, here are some local delicacies; try them and see if you like anything." Old Madam Zhuang, without needing anyone else, directly used the public chopsticks to pick vegetables for Jiang Yunchu.

Jiang Yunchu was also at a loss; even though she had passed the great barrier of transmigration, she still couldn't understand what Madam Zhuang meant.

Glutinous rice chicken……

The glutinous rice chicken you find everywhere, she suspects that if she keeps eating like this, she might not be able to eat anymore……

"But the food doesn't suit your taste?" Madam Zhuang looked at Jiang Yunchu eating little and asked carefully.

That gentle manner made the three men of low status in the Zhuang Clan tremble with fear.

Zhuang Yan and Zhuang Wei exchanged a glance; the two brothers, in their eyes, both revealed doubt.

And Zhuang Second Master rubbed his arm, suddenly feeling a chill; his sister-in-law and his brother must be hiding something from them—no matter how you look at it, it just doesn't feel right.

One meal, eaten with peril a hundredfold.

Some suspect the Zhuang Clan is overly enthusiastic; some think the parents have some conspiracy; some guess the elder brother and his wife have something unspeakable.

And some people are simple, recognizing who the visitor is……

Only Han Bing, looking here and there, merely placed the dishes Jiang Yunchu liked, using the public chopsticks, into her bowl.

As for how others acted strangely, he didn't pay much attention.

"Eat."

Han Bing's words were light, but his voice seemed to carry ice shards.

Jiang Yunchu had already grown accustomed; he naturally wouldn't mind much, just getting him to speak voluntarily was already great progress—what more could one ask for?

"Good."

After the meal, a group of people arrived at the reception room.

"Old Two, you first return to your courtyard."

Zhuang Yan, Zhuang Wei, you two should go check the accounts.

Elder Master Zhuang directly sat down in the host seat, then began…… driving people out?

Hey……

The second young master Zhuang hadn't finished speaking when he heard two 'cough cough' sounds; he glanced at his sister-in-law's expression, then glanced at his elder brother's expression.

Alright, don't even think about staying.

"Why am I so sleepy? Indeed, spring drowsiness, autumn fatigue, summer naps—I'll go back to the Courtyard to sleep a bit, sleep a bit…… Hmm."

He mumbled under his breath, yet didn't delay his steps leaving.

Jiang Yunchu raised an eyebrow; the Zhuang Clan is quite interesting.

This second young master Zhuang, what he fears most is actually his sister-in-law, not his elder brother?

"Father, Mother, then we'll be leaving first."

"Kang Yun, Han Bing, stay a few more days at the residence; earlier my sister wrote a letter asking to look at the fields—I've already inspected several plots, and now I'm negotiating the price."

"Once the price is confirmed, we'll go take a look." Zhuang Yan said, smiling at Jiang Yunchu.

My sister's matters have always been major affairs for the family.

Since my sister got married, over these many years, this is the first time she's made a request to the family; as her brothers, how could we not satisfy her?
