Chapter Twelve The Shen Family
Before meeting the Shen family, Zhang Mingkun had already learned a lot about the Shen family from Qiongmei.
If the Chu family, which was made of weapons and later rose, can be regarded as a large family, then the Shen family is definitely a prominent family with a deeper background.
The entire process of the rise of the Shen family is also the process of the rise of the entire Ashes County. Any county was initially gradually integrated by many small prefectures or counties, and finally, after many serious wars, the prototype of today's territory was determined.
In the early days of the establishment of Ashes County, the Shen family was a medium-sized family in Zhouyuan County. In ancient China, it was a small tyrant and small landlord who was neither up nor down.
However, unlike other local families that stick to their own land, the Shen family has always had an ancestral craft - the art of geoscience.
Geography is a very general term, which includes geographical surveying, map surveying, and some Feng Shui theories.
The world has a large range, but transportation is quite backward. The most important thing is that there are still gravity differences in various regions. If ordinary people get lost in areas with abnormal gravity, the consequences are likely to be fatal.
For example, if you walk alone on a grass field, you can't get up by lying on the ground because you step into a high gravity area. It's really hard to die.
Finding safe normal gravity corridors between various settled areas was the most urgent thing for the early Ashes County people. The Shen family has been engaged in this career for generations.
"If you can find a safe gravity corridor between various gravity abnormal areas, then this family will definitely not lack warriors."
Qiongmei expressed great appreciation for Zhang Mingkun's ability to make such a judgment immediately: "Yes, the strength of the Shen family is different from that of the Chu family. The Chu family is more reflected in advanced equipment manufacturing and circulation in related fields. Although they are not business banks, they provide more than a dozen large commercial banks in Ash County to sell equipment to county governments or civilians. The Chu family has used geoscience techniques for many years to find internal and external gravity corridors for Ash County, and it also produces many warriors above the third level, because of their reputation and strength, the influence is more profound."
Zhang Mingkun also began to think about it: This kind of big family that has accumulated over the years can represent the family, and they are undoubtedly outstanding talents. Qiongmei hopes to rely on herself to achieve the alliance with the Shen family. Is this plan possible?
The two of them had their own thoughts, walked through several galleries, and finally came to the Qiongmei Store's most elegant back garden.
The garden has no main gate, only two rockery with a strange shape, one on the left and right but twisted it against the upper end, barely considered a door hole.
When I walked through the door, I saw a row of bamboo shelves, with many vines that Zhang Mingkun didn't know the name crawled on it.
Just under this row of bamboo racks, a middle-aged man was sitting on a wooden chair. When Zhang Mingkun saw it, he thought that this should be from the Shen family.
Although the clothes in this world are quite different from the ancient Chinese Hanfu, most of them are relatively simple in structure. Although people will also pay attention to the combination of some clothing to give a little personal style, it is still very different from the jackets that Zhang Mingkun turned out to be.
Unfortunately, the jacket was cut a few holes in the accidental collision of the car, and it was not very decent. Although the clothes brought from the original world were collected by Zhang Mingkun, it was obvious that he would meet important guests today and could not be worn like the six-bag disciples of the Beggars' Sect.
This time, Zhang Mingkun is also very smart. He first looks at his hands when looking at people.
The middle-aged man looked average and even had a somewhat stereotyped appearance. His long hair was meticulously tied into a bun and braided shape, and his hands were steadily crossed together and placed on the octagonal wooden table in front of him.
Judging from this temperament, Zhang Mingkun first felt that this was a warrior. However, only God knows how many levels it is.
Qiongmei saw the rigid middle-aged man's eyes turn, and then smiled and greeted: "It is really an honor for our business to come in person on behalf of the Shen family."
Zhang Mingkun, who had made up for a while, knew that the Shen family's manager and walking generation were the three sons of the head of the family Chen Xing.
Since Qiongmei calls this the third young master, then the old-fashioned man in front of him who is as singular as a British old gentleman is naturally the third son Chen from the Shen family.
Seeing Zhang Mingkun following Qiongmei, Chen Shaoxing was stunned for a moment when he looked like a servant.
Although Zhang Mingkun does look a bit powerful, he is wearing thick black clogs with the seventh-level warrior logo on his feet. However, the solemnity and calmness of a warrior are unique to these adjectives that have nothing to do with Zhang Mingkun.
Seeing Chen Shaoxing looking at Zhangmingkun, Qiongmei immediately introduced: "This is Zhangmingkun, the seventh-level warrior who has become famous in Pingliu Mansion in Ashes County. This is Chen Shaoxing, the third son of the Shen family. Both are warriors, so get closer to that in the future."
A little uncomfortable expression flashed across Chen Shaoxing's face. After all, although he had practiced in the abnormal gravity area controlled by his family, he was now just a fifth-level warrior.
Zhang Mingkun subconsciously stretched out his hand and said to Chen Shaoxing: "The Shen family's name has been admired for a long time. Today, he saw the style of the third young master. From the style of the third young master, you can see the strong foundation of the Shen family."
After all, he is an old man who has been in the society for many years. Zhang Mingkun's scenes seem normal in reality, but in this world where words are relatively backward, it is really as generous as you should be, as you should be more decent and more decent.
Chen Shaoxing's face was a little bit lustful, and at the same time, he had a slightly improved impression of this seventh-level warrior who looked a little bit virtuous, but found that Zhang Mingkun's right hand reached in front of him and then hung there, not knowing what to do.
Zhang Mingkun suddenly became embarrassed. Under normal circumstances, two people whom he met after being introduced by others had to shake hands to show friendship. But he never expected that there was no such etiquette in this world.
Suddenly, it was not right to continue to hold Zhang Mingkun's hand, and it was not good to take it back, so he was a little stunned.
Chen Shaoxing is worthy of being a person with a wide range of friendships and a lot of experience in the world. After thinking about it, based on Zhang Mingkun's hand posture, he judged that the other party seemed to have to hold his hand for a moment.
"This young man is amazing!"
Chen Shaoxing immediately made this judgment: he just looked down on this seventh-level warrior just now, and he actually saw it. Now he reached out, obviously trying to compare his strength with me. Well, although I am not the strongest warrior in the Shen family, I am also at the fifth level and cannot be underestimated. Let’s see how strong this young man is.
Thinking of this, Chen Shaoxing also stretched out his right hand and held it with Zhang Mingkun's right hand.
Zhang Mingkun's original embarrassment was immediately greatly relieved, and he comforted himself that there was still a saying in this world that shakes hands.
Just as he smiled friendly, Zhang Mingkun suddenly felt his hands tightening, and the other party's hand actually increased its strength, tightly slamming the tiger's mouth like a pliers.
"Damn, what should I do if I get the internal strength test!?"
Zhang Mingkun immediately unconsciously used his hands and remembered that the old martial arts novels were so secretly fighting when they met.
