Chapter 63 The Zheng Family
"I'm sick!" Zhou Chong immediately glared at him fiercely when he heard the words of the black young man, and then hid away from him. In his previous life, he had seen more people. Some people invited people to drink for the first time, some people invited people for the first time, and some even paid for people when they met. However, this was the first time he met such a person. He introduced his own sister to himself as soon as he met, and even promised to enter the bridal chamber within three days. Isn't this sick, or what?
Seeing Zhou Chong avoiding, the young man with black shiny did not have any embarrassment at all, and came over to sell again and said, "Brother, brother, look at you, you should be a scholar. My sister also likes scholars the most, so as long as you want, she will definitely not object. Then find a day to marry, and bring such a beautiful wife when you go home. Ling Zun and Ling Tang will definitely be very happy!"
When Zhou Chong met this kind of person with a candy, he had no choice but to give him a glance and said, "Sorry, my father and my mother have passed away!"
"That's great!" Unexpectedly, the young man in black slapped his thighs happily when he heard Zhou Chong's parents died early. However, he immediately felt that it was a little inappropriate, and immediately smiled at Zhou Chong and said, "That...hehe, brother, I don't mean that, actually I want to say...I want to say..."
The black young man's face turned red and his mind was turning rapidly. He wanted to come up with a reasonable reason. In the end, he flashed his inspiration and slapped his thigh again and said, "Actually, I want to say that brother, your parents both died, and you must need a woman to manage the house. Look, my sister is a little older than you, and she just can take care of you. Moreover, she is smart. If you hand over the family business to her, you will definitely be able to manage your brother's family business! "
"I just paid off my family's debts. Now my family is extremely poor, and there is a family of people to support me. I am really not worthy of Ling Mei!" Zhou Chong replied weakly. He really didn't expect to encounter such a crazy person here.
"No money?" The young man in black hesitated for a moment after hearing this, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "It doesn't matter if there is no money. I am willing to give five thousand taels of dowry for my sister. In addition, the dowry given by my father will be at least more than ten thousand taels of silver, which is enough for you to go back and live a rich life with your sister!"
When Zhou Chong heard this, he almost spit out an old blood, thinking that the other party wanted to marry the bodybuilder in front of him. He was willing to pay more than 10,000 taels of silver. Could it be that this woman had something wrong with it?
Thinking of this, Zhou Chong was even more unlikely to agree, so he could only take out my trump card in the end and refused and said, "I'm sorry, my eldest brother, my father had already booked a marriage for me before he died. He was about to get married. Unfortunately, my father unfortunately died some time ago, so he could only wait until the mourning period was over before he could get married."
Hearing that Zhou Chong was engaged and wanted to be filial, the black young man finally gave up, but his face also became very fast. The flattering smile on his face immediately stopped, and he turned to a cold face and said, "Brother, since you are engaged, you have said it a long time ago, wasting so much of my saliva!"
After hearing this, Zhou Chong was amused and cried, thinking that you had come over by yourself. At this moment, Xie Lingyun and the bodybuilding girl finally finished reminiscing about the past, and then she brought the other party to Zhou Chong. However, before Xie Lingyun could speak, the bodybuilding girl kicked her brother's thigh and said angrily: "Brother, do you want to marry me again?"
"Oh! How dare I? It's just that I and this brother hit it off at first sight, so I chatted a few more words." The black-liang young man deliberately made a very painful look, and then smiled and hugged Zhou Chong's shoulder.
Seeing that his cousin and his cousin were fighting, Xie Lingyun did not stop him. He seemed to have been used to their appearance. After they had enough of playing, he pointed at them and introduced to Zhou Chong: "Mr. Zhou, this is my cousin Zheng Longhai, and this is my cousin Zheng Youyi."
After Xie Lingyun introduced her cousin, she showed a meaningful smile on her face and continued to introduce: "Cousin, cousin, this young master Zhou's identity is not simple. He is Zhou Nanyang's only son, Mr. Zhou Chongzhou!"
"Zhou Nanyang!" When he heard this name, the Zheng brothers and sisters were stunned, and then looked at Zhou Chong up and down a few times, with a bit of solemnity in their eyes. Zhou Chong was not surprised by the name Zhou Nanyang, because Xie Lingyun had told him before that smugglers generally did not use their real name, for fear of attracting the attention of the court, so they gave themselves various names. Among them, Zhou Hai's fleet mainly traveled around the Nanyang area, so they were called Zhou Nanyang.
Seeing that his cousin was so shocked by Zhou Chong's identity, Xie Lingyun smiled and said, "Cousin, we have gone to see our uncle first, and then let me and Mr. Zhou take a break. I was really exhausted when I took the boat all the way."
"Oh, okay, cousin and Mr. Zhou come with me!" Zheng Longhai woke up and immediately attracted Zhou Chong and Xie Lingyun to get off the boat. However, Zheng Youyi seemed to be very curious about Zhou Chong and looked at him from time to time.
On the way, Zhou Chong secretly asked about the relationship between Xie Lingyun and the Zheng brothers and sisters. Xie Lingyun smiled and explained that the father of the Zheng brothers and sisters married her father's sister, that is, her dear aunt, and they were naturally cousins. Among them, Zheng Youyi is nineteen years old this year, but she has never been married. Therefore, her family desperately wanted to find her a husband, which has become a heart-wrenching problem in the Zheng family. When Zheng Longhai saw a suitable young man, he stepped forward to promote his sister, so the previous scene appeared.
After listening to the Zheng family, Zhou Chong smiled and didn't ask again. After all, he was not familiar with the Zheng brothers and sisters, so there was no need to care about other people's affairs. After Zheng Longhai took Zhou Chong and the others to the shore, he soon came to a large mansion that was quite close to the pier. He saw that the mansion was built very regularly. The square yard was surrounded by a tall courtyard wall, and a corner building for defense was also built at the four corners. Although the distance was a bit far, it was still vaguely visible that there were people carrying weapons in the corner building to monitor the surroundings.
Originally, Zhou Chong thought this was the home of the Zheng brothers and sisters, but what he didn't expect was that after seeing them, the guards guarded the gate saluted Xie Lingyun, and then the Zheng brothers and sisters. Obviously, Xie Lingyun was the real master here, which made Zhou Chong a little confused about the relationship between Xie Lingyun and the Zheng brothers and sisters.
After entering this heavily guarded mansion, the scene inside surprised Zhou Chongda. He saw that there was no decoration in the mansion. There was a vast martial arts performance venue. There were hundreds of men on the venue naked and only wore cow-nose shorts on the lower body. He seemed to have no concerns about the severe cold of winter. At the scolding of a middle-aged man in his fifties, he let out a roar of "Huh! Ha!", and steaming water came out of his head, all of whom were practicing hard. When Zhou Chong first came in, he saw these people. If he hadn't known what this place was in advance, he would have thought he had entered a military camp.
"Dad, Lingyun's cousin is here, why are you still practicing?" Seeing the middle-aged man, Zheng Youyi immediately shouted loudly, without any ladylike demeanor.
When the middle-aged man heard his daughter's voice, he looked up and saw Xie Lingyun here, and immediately walked towards him with a smile. At this time, Zhou Chong saw that the middle-aged man had a long figure, blushing face, and three long beards left under his jaw. He looked a bit like Guan Gong. In addition, his steps were calm and concise, giving people a strong pressure. You can tell that he was a trainer at first glance.
"Lingyun pays homage to my uncle!" Xie Lingyun saw this middle-aged man and hurriedly walked forward and saluted.
"Haha, Lingyun doesn't have to be too polite. If you haven't seen each other for more than a year, you seem to be beautiful again. How about it? Have your father found a good family for you?" the middle-aged man said with a laugh, and asked about Xie Lingyun's marriage.
"Hehe, Lingyun is younger than her cousin. When will she wait for her cousin to get married? Lingyun will consider her own affairs!" Xie Lingyun said with a rare naughty smile. In front of her elders, she also rarely restored her little daughter's attitude.
Hearing Xie Lingyun used herself as a shield, Zheng Youyi couldn't help but glared at her fiercely, but Xie Lingyun blinked and pretended not to see it. The middle-aged man sighed helplessly after hearing this. Then when he saw Zhou Chong, he couldn't help but ask, "Lingyun, this young man is..."
"Oh, uncle, I forgot to introduce you. This is Mr. Zhou Chongzhou, and his father is Zhou Nanyang of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce." Xie Lingyun immediately introduced. Zhou Hai mainly took the Nanyang route, so he also gave the Chamber of Commerce the name "Nanyang". However, with Zhou Hai's death, the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce has been divided into three parts and no longer has its former prestige.
"Oh, are you Zhou Hai's son?" Xie Lingyun's uncle was also surprised when he heard Zhou Chong's identity.
"My younger brother, please pay tribute to Mr. Zheng!" Zhou Chong stepped forward and said, "This middle-aged man should be older than Zhou Hai, and it seems that the other party also knows his father, so he should call him Mr. Wang."
"Well, it's not bad. I've heard that Zhou Hai has a good son. He passed the exam for a scholar at the age of fourteen. Today I saw it, it's true that he is worthy of his reputation!" The middle-aged man stroked his right hand and smiled, "My name is Zheng Ling. Dai Lingyun and the Xie family are in charge of the affairs of Shuangyu Island. In addition, I have indeed met your father several times, so you will just call me Uncle Zheng in the future. As for the word "old". I am still very young now, and I can still kill people with a knife!"
When Zhou Chong was speechless when he heard the other party say that he was not old and called himself "I'm old". At the same time, he finally knew why Zheng Longhai rashly promoted Zheng Youyi to him as soon as he met. It was estimated that both of them were mentally abnormal.
Next, Zheng Ling gave Zhou Chong and Xie Lingyun to the lobby of the house and asked about the reason why they came to Shuangyu Port. At that time, Xie Lingyun agreed to Zhou Chong privately and did not discuss it with anyone, but she has been paying attention to the situation in Shuangyu Port, so she is very confident in helping Zhou Chong take over the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce.
