Chapter 44: The Zhu Family Visitors
Zhu family.

The servants in the house have been busy since early morning, cooking cattle and slaughtering sheep. The scene is almost as good as the Chinese New Year.

Wang Zhao cleaned the stable thoroughly early in the morning.

Ever since Li Rui redeemed himself from slavery, he became the new groom of the Zhu family.

He is still young.

He was not yet qualified to take in apprentices, so most of the time he was the only one working in the stable.

Fortunately, he had long been accustomed to such days and did not feel tired.

Sweep the stable over and over with a broom.

"Today, Butler Zhu asked me to clean the stables thoroughly. It seems that there is another important person."

Wang Zhao’s comprehension is not as good as Li Rui, and even worse than the deceased Ma Yang.

But he is very down-to-earth.

He would do whatever the steward told him to do seriously. If he failed once, he would do it twice. He never got tired of it, and Master Zhu liked this about him.

Who wouldn’t like a diligent and diligent servant?

At this time-

A familiar voice sounded behind him: "Hey, Xiaozhao, are you still sweeping?"

Wang Zhao straightened up and wiped the sweat off his face with the back of his relatively clean hand: "Uncle Yong."

Most of the time, if someone calls you "Xiao" followed by your surname, it means that the relationship is average. If they call you just by your given name, the relationship is already very intimate. If they call you "Xiao" followed by your given name, the two of you are close friends.

Wang Zhao and Yang Yong were both in the Zhu family, and because of Li Rui's relationship, they became close friends regardless of age difference over time.

Both parties can take care of each other and live better in the Zhu family.

Poor people just stick together to keep each other warm.

Wang Zhao asked curiously, "Uncle Yong, who is the important person coming to the mansion? Why is it so grand?"

The duck knows first that spring is coming.

The same goes for a mansion. If anything big happens, the guards will often be the first to sense it.

Yang Yong curled his lips and said, "Who else could it be? The eldest young master has returned from Huaqing Sect, and it seems that there are several fellow disciples coming with him."

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

Wang Zhao was a little surprised.

The eldest son Zhu Yue is the future of the Zhu family and will be the head of the family in the future. Naturally, he cares about Zhu Yue's affairs.

Yang Yong shrugged: "How could a security guard like me know about this?"

As the two of them were talking——

Suddenly, there was a burst of crackling firecrackers outside the door.

Wang Zhao's expression changed:
"coming!"

Outside the Zhu family’s gate.

Three large chestnut horses marched with vigorous steps, and the sound of horse hooves clattering could be heard on the bluestone road outside the alley.

Zhu Ping and his family were standing at the door early in the morning.

The neighbors around all looked at me with envy.

Zhu Ping straightened his back, looking very proud.

Gave birth to a good son.

Zhu Yue is now a disciple of the Huaqing Sect. Maybe he can become a seventh-rank warrior in the future. When the time comes, he will come back to inherit the family business and will surely lead the Zhu family to new glory.

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

Zhu Ping felt that his life was not lived in vain.

Soon, his eyes lit up.

Zhu Yue appeared at the corner of the street riding a Ferghana horse, accompanied by Han Qin and Jiang Yan, who had been to Zhu's house before.

Han Qin still had a smile on her face as always: "Junior Brother Zhu, your family is really a big family, and it's really exquisite."

Zhu Yue forced a smile and glanced at Jiang Yan who was frowning slightly beside him.

The streets were filled with a sickening smell of saltpeter.

Soon.

Zhu Yue and the other two rode their horses to the front of the Zhu family.

Zhu Ping smiled particularly happily: "Hello, two distinguished guests, we meet again." Han Qin smiled slightly: "Uncle Zhu."

Jiang Yan didn't say anything, just nodded slightly.

Zhu Yue walked up to Zhu Ping and said in a low voice, "Father, don't bring out these things that are not presentable like the bamboo shoots anymore."

Zhu Ping smiled and nodded: "Since you don't like it, then just don't let it go in the future."

Then the Zhu family members surrounded Hua Qingzong and the other two and walked into the courtyard.

There was a barely perceptible flash of disappointment in Zhu Ping's eyes.

"When a child grows up, he is no longer under the control of his parents."

Ever since Zhu Yue went to Huaqing Sect, his vision has become higher and higher. He no longer looks down on the Zhu family, or even the entire Qinghe.

There is nothing wrong with it.

But if it happens to a candidate for the position of patriarch, it would be a big problem.

Zhu Ping hopes that his son will have a bright future in Huaqing Sect, but he is also worried that Zhu Yue's connection with the Zhu family will become increasingly distant, and he will eventually be unwilling to inherit the position of head of the family.

In this way, when he dies of old age, his huge family business will become the property of others.

Zhu Jia sighed softly.

I am afraid that my son is not good, but I am also worried that he is too good.

"Let him be."

Zhu Ping took a deep breath. It was true that he was the patriarch of the Zhu family.

But he is still a father.

As long as Zhu Yue can live a good life, it doesn't matter if he gives up this business. In the future, his branch will continue to branch out and prosper in other places.

Everyone sat in the lobby.

Zhu Ping then asked politely: "Yue'er, you two can stay a few more days in Qinghe this time. There are still many good places to cool off nearby."

Han Qin declined: "Uncle Zhu, there is no need to go sightseeing. You are not an outsider, so it doesn't matter if you talk. We are here to help Elder Jiang deal with the Ghost Sect."

Elder Jiang?
Zhu Ping's pupils dilated slightly.

Jiang Linxian!!

He was just a family head, so of course he didn't know the whole picture of what happened in the city that night, but Jiang Linxian's reputation was well-known.

Jiang Linxian actually came to Qinghe? !

Zhu Yue said, "Father, this matter concerns Elder Jiang, so please don't ask any more questions."

"Yes Yes Yes."

Zhu Ping nodded repeatedly.

Knowing too much about some things would only bring disaster to the Zhu family, so he had long developed the habit of suppressing his curiosity.

Zhu Yue turned his head and looked at Jiang Yan who was standing beside him: "Junior Sister Jiang, those demons of the Ghost Nether Sect are hiding very deep, and it will take a long time to find them. Why don't you ask Elder Jiang to stay at my house for a few days?"

Jiang Yan shook her head: "My father is a lazy person, he is like a dragon that can't be seen from head to tail, I don't know where he went."

"Ok."

Zhu Yue felt a little regretful.

Zhu Ping could no longer conceal the shock in his eyes. The girl in front of him turned out to be Jiang Linxian's daughter.

Lady!

Back then, he used some tricks to take down Zhu Yue's mother. After the matter was done, he relied on the resources provided by Zhu Yue's mother's family to climb up to his current position step by step.

Of course, he didn't dare to use those dirty means against Jiang Yan.

But if Zhu Yue can become Jiang Linxian's son-in-law, it doesn't matter if the head of the Zhu family does not inherit!

Zhu Yue glanced at Jiang Yan calmly.

In fact, he also thought so.

Jiang Yan said: "The Ghost Sect has a complex network of branches and roots, and we still need other forces to help us."

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

Ever since I knew Jiang Linxian was in Qinghe.

He was only thinking about showing up more often 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."
