Chapter 80: The Second Elder Arrives

After successfully attracting merchants and families in Luyang, Zhao Yu's initial idea was truly fulfilled. He really tied merchants and families in Luyang and Ye County to a carriage, a carriage called "Luye Masonic".

And the Marquis Mansion in Luyang Township is the driver of the carriage.

Of course, the Luye Freemasonry today is still just a loose chamber of commerce framework. Although many merchants and families in the chamber of commerce will gather because of the temptation of interests, people may not be gathered together, and people's hearts may gather together for a long time.

Originally, Zhao Yu also planned to make suggestions to his father, suggesting that their family invites a banquet for merchants and aristocratic families in Luyang and Ye County. First, the members of the association can meet each other, and secondly, they should also take the opportunity to establish the "leader" of the chamber of commerce. However, considering that his grandfather and grandmother are about to come to his house, Zhao Yu could only temporarily put the matter aside.

On the sixth day of November, a man rode his horse to the Marquis' Mansion in Luyang Township.

At that time, Zhao Yu was lying in his room, enjoying the kneading of the quiet girl. Then he heard his brother Zhao Yin knocking outside the room: "Brother, brother."

Jingnu immediately went over and opened the door, bowed and bowed: "Grand Prince."

"Qing Girl."

As the legitimate son of the Marquis of Luyang Township, Zhao Yin replied with a regular greeting. He then quickly walked to the bedside and said to Zhao Yu who had already sat up on the bedside: "Brother, hurry up, grandma and grandma are here, father and mother, my brothers are ordered to leave the house to greet him immediately."

Hearing this, Zhao Yu did not neglect. He immediately put on his boots and took his daughter Jing and his brother to the door of the mansion.

When the two brothers arrived in front of the mansion, the Marquis of Luyang Township and his wife Zhou, led Zhang Chun and Zhang Ying and many other guards in the mansion, had already stood outside the mansion.

"Dad, mom." The two brothers stepped forward to greet their father and mother.

Immediately, Zhao Yu looked around and asked, "Didn't it mean that grandma and grandma are here?"

"It's coming soon."

The Hou of Luyang Township explained with a tense face: "Someone just took the lead to deliver the letter to the mansion..."

As he was talking, his eyes seemed to have seen something and said solemnly: "Here is here!...it should be that team."

Following the direction pointed by his father, Zhao Yu looked up and saw a team of about two or three carriages slowly coming towards this side.

This convoy was the carriage that Zhou Jie and his wife Zhang were riding in.

"Son-in-law, Miss."

The person who drove for the old couple was Lao Fu, the loyal servant of the Zhou family. After he stopped the carriage not far from everyone, he immediately saluted the Hou and his wife in Luyang Township. At the same time, he did not forget to remind the people in the carriage: "Master, old lady, you have arrived at the mansion of your son-in-law and the lady."

Immediately, Mr. Zhou walked out of the carriage, stood on the snow with his hands on his back and moved his muscles and bones on his shoulders.

Under the secret urging of his wife, the Hou of Luyang Township gritted his teeth and stepped forward to greet him with his wife.

"Father." The Hou of Luyang Township bowed to the old man.

“…”

Mr. Zhou looked at his son-in-law coldly and was about to speak, but Zhou took the lead in supporting his father's arm and whispered: "Dad, in front of many people, you must not let your son-in-law be embarrassed."

As she said that, before Mr. Zhou could respond, she called the two brothers and said, "Yin'er, come and see the grandfather."

When Mr. Zhou heard the names of his two grandchildren, he could not care about his son-in-law and immediately turned to look at his two grandchildren.

One of them he had met a few days ago was his grandson, Zhao Yin.

And the other...

As Mr. Zhou stared intently, Zhao Yu bowed and bowed like his brother: "Son, I have seen my grandfather."

When he was saluting, he looked at the grandfather in front of him with a strange look, wondering why the grandfather stared at him?

Just when he was confused, he heard Mr. Zhou bend down slightly and ask him: "Do you... recognize me?"

Zhao Yu didn't understand why, nodded and said, "You are the grandfather."

He thought there was no problem with this question, but for some reason, the old man in front of him showed a look of disappointment.

At this time, Zhou Zhang also walked out of the carriage with the help of his son-in-law Luyang Township Hou, and kept complaining: "This old man kept muttering on the road, and was so annoyed that he was... "

As she was talking, she also saw Zhao Yin and Zhao Yu, and greeted him with a smile on his face: "Yin'er, yes, let grandma hug you."

As she said that, she stepped forward and hugged the two brothers, her wrinkled face full of joy.

However, Mr. Zhou, who was beside her, had his face tense.

"...Damn old woman, I want to hug my two grandchildren too!"

The old man naturally gritted his teeth.

While gritting his teeth, he also secretly paid attention to the two brothers.

He immediately discovered that compared to Zhao Yin's closeness to Zhou Zhang's family, his younger grandson Zhao Yu's expression was obviously a little uncomfortable.

At this time, Zhou Zhang also noticed the discomfort on his grandson's face, touched Zhao Yu's head and asked, "Ye'er, don't you remember grandma? When I was a child, my grandma loved you two..."

Zhao Yu looked embarrassed, and he felt as if he had returned to the time he had just arrived at this house.

"My poor grandson." Zhou Zhang sighed and rubbed Zhao Yu's head, reminding him: "Your mother told her grandmother that you must not play in dangerous places in the future..."

Zhao Yu suddenly realized that he finally understood why the grandfather asked him that way just now.

At this time, the Marquis of Luyang Township came over and bowed and said, "Mother, it's cold outside, let's talk about it later when we go to the mansion?"

"Okay." Zhou Zhang looked down at the two brothers and said yes.

Just as the group entered the mansion, the Marquis of Luyang Township grabbed his son Zhao Yu's sleeve, bent down slightly and said in a low voice: "Didn't you tell me to be smart?"

“…”

Zhao Yu was speechless.

It is undeniable that the two elders are his grandfather and grandmother, and they also look quite kind, but they can't resist his no impression of the two elders. They are completely strangers, so how can they get close to each other?

Not to mention that the maternal ancestor looked even more serious than his father, the Marquis of Luyang Township.

I can't get close to you at all!

After a while, the group came to the main hall of the north room. The Marquis of Luyang Township invited the old man and the old lady to the main seat, and sat in the side seat with Zhou and his two sons.

After the maid in the mansion served tea, Zhou Zhang said kindly to the Hou of Luyang Township: "Gongyu, this time I'm disturbing."

"What is my mother saying?" said the marquis of Luyang Township respectfully: "The two elders are willing to come to the son-in-law's house, but the son-in-law is not too late to be happy."

"Hmph!" Mr. Zhou started again.

Immediately, Zhou Zhang turned his head and glared at his wife fiercely.

Zhao Yu, who clearly saw this scene, opened his eyes wide in surprise. He felt vaguely that he seemed to see the shadow of his father and mother from the way his grandmother got along with him...or should it be the other way around?

At this time, Zhou Zhangshi glared at the old man and smiled and said to his son-in-law and daughter: "Old man, I have wanted to come to Luyang for a long time. You also know that Shiji and Chengde are not at home all year round, and the family is really deserted. Several times I told the old man that we might go to Luyang to see our son-in-law and daughter, and we can also see our two grandchildren. The dead old man is stubborn, and he obviously wants to come..."

“Bad talk!”

Mr. Zhou interrupted coldly.

Zhou Zhang glanced at his wife and said, "Isn't it? That day, our daughter just asked us to come to Luyang. That night, you secretly packed up the gifts and hid them in the cabinet and thought I couldn't see them..."

"Who said that?"

Mr. Zhou defended his neck and said, "I didn't want to come at first, I'm going to visit a friend of mine..."

"A few friends I have been talking to you, as far as I know, either I am sick on the bed or have been buried in the soil. Who are you visiting?... I also stand outside the house every day to watch the weather..."

"I'm just training my muscles and bones." Mr. Zhou defended with a calm face.

"Okay OK."

Seeing that his father seemed to be unable to come to Taiwan, Zhou smiled and smoothed out, "Dad, it's rare that you can come to your son-in-law's house. Why not stay for a few more days and let your two grandchildren accompany you..."

When I heard the first half of the sentence, the old man's face was full of disdain, but after hearing everything, he glanced at Zhao Yin and the brothers of Zhao Yu in a slight way, and said vaguely: "It depends on your mood. If you are in a bad mood, I will go back to Yancheng tomorrow. If you are in a good mood, stay for a few more days... it is not impossible."

Compared to Zhao Yin's happy look when he heard this, Zhao Yu's mouth twitched slightly twice.

It has to be said that the maternal ancestor's nature made him feel the urge to avoid it.

Maybe it was because of two grandchildren present that Mr. Zhou was in a good mood and did not deliberately seek fault with his son-in-law as before. He completely ignored the marquis of Luyang Township who were here, and only talked to his daughter and two grandchildren, asking them what they were doing in the mansion every day.

Zhao Yin's answer was just right: "The grandson is learning from Mr. Gongyang."

Unlike the disdainful tone when talking to the Marquis of Luyang Township, Mr. Zhou kindly asked: "Mr. Gongyang, what did he teach you?"

Zhao Yin bowed and replied: "Mr. Gongyang teaches his grandson Confucian classics."

"Oh, Confucian classics." The old man nodded and said with a smile: "Well, what is the basis of Confucian classics?"

"It's filial piety!"

"What is filial piety?"

"Son of the son is called filial piety."

"What is filial piety?"

"Filial piety and obey it is called filial piety!"

After a few simple questions, Zhao Yin answered the questions fluently. Mr. Zhou nodded repeatedly and praised: "Yin'er is smart, and Mr. Gongyang is also a talented person!"

After praising him, he reminded Zhao Yin: "Yin'er should study hard. My grandfather suffered a loss back then. He was not very good at studying and was looked down upon. Since the Han Dynasty, the world has been the world of scholars."

"The grandson is taught." Zhao Yin bowed respectfully.

At this time, Mr. Zhou turned his head to look at Zhao Yu who was yawning in his seat, and asked with a smile: "Where are you doing what you do on weekdays? Do you follow Mr. Gongyang like your brother?"

"no."

Zhao Yu shook his head and said, "I don't like reading, I like to walk around and see."

Mr. Zhou nodded and said, "Well, young people are walking around and looking around and gaining knowledge is not a bad thing. If they can take the opportunity to build connections, they will benefit even more for life..."

Hearing this, even though Zhao Yu felt that the old man's personality was a bit awkward, he could not deny that it was actually not difficult for him to get along with.

Of course, the Marquis of Luyang Township will never recognize this.
