Chapter 152: The Thirteen Factories in Yongzhou, the County City, and the Zhou Family Visitors

"After all, it's a rural place. I wasn't notified in advance and I don't know the etiquette."

A middle-aged servant who looked like a butler jumped out of the carriage and walked to the young man's side to comfort him.

The young man said with a steady expression: "If it weren't for the old master's nostalgia, we wouldn't care about their life and death. In my opinion, we should just let them fend for themselves."

"Although Zhou Dingwen is the son of a concubine, he is still the son of the grandpa. Now that something is going to happen in Taiping County, the grandpa will definitely be worried about his family. The grandpa admires the young master's ability and dares to entrust such an important matter to the young master. "

The young man snorted coldly and climbed up the stairs.

The old servant who was following him stepped forward before him, pulled up the door knocker, and knocked hard: "There is a visitor from the Zhou family in Yongzhou, Master Zhou Jiu, open the door."

The servant's voice was loud and full of energy.

You can hear it clearly even from a long distance away.

The old servant just finished speaking. A moment later, the door of Zhou's house was opened. A doorman stuck his head out and looked carefully at it, and asked: "I don't know the names of these two distinguished guests. Do you have an invitation?"

The young man was not angry. He put his hands behind his back and said, "Zhou Xintong, the eldest son of Zhou family, if you tell me my name, your master will naturally know about it."

Zhou's family room? !

The concierge was shocked.

The Zhou family in Yongzhou is one of the thirteen businesses in Yongzhou. The silk weaving business has already reached Longting. It is one of the top wealthy families in Yongzhou, the county.

Their Zhou family in Taiping County is a branch of the Zhou family in Yongzhou, and they were separated more than thirty years ago.

Large families in the Zhou Dynasty had the same household registration as those in the Zhou Dynasty. They also had three, six or nine levels, and the relationship between superiors and inferiors was very clear.

Except for the Changfang lineage, which can inherit the Zhou family's business, the remaining branches have a higher status than the Zhou family's servants.

The Zhou family in Taiping County can make all the difference in this county, but in the eyes of the Zhou family in Yongzhou, they are nothing.

The concierge knew this very well. He bowed hurriedly and his attitude became respectful and said: "Master, please come in. Please stay in the living room for a while. I will call the master now."

After saying that, Menzi hurriedly opened the door, walked around a screen wall, and led Zhou Xin and the master and servant into the living room.

Zhou Xintong sat on the main seat with an awkward look and reminded: "I have something important to do here this time, please ask your master to come quickly."

Menzi hurriedly bowed in response, and then hurriedly walked towards the back garden.

In the back garden of Zhou's house, there is a pool of clear water with sparkling waves.

Zhou Dingwen, the head of the Zhou family in Taiping County, is wearing a light and elegant Confucian shirt and standing next to the fish pond.

He held a handful of fish food tightly in his hand and sprinkled it lightly from time to time, attracting countless big carps to come and compete for the food.

Under the clear water, it suddenly became a lot more lively.

A faint smile gradually appeared on King Zhou Wen's face.

"Sir, it's bad, there are people coming from Yongzhou!"

At this moment, a servant came in a hurry, panting, breaking the tranquility.

"Who is coming from Yongzhou?" Zhou Dingwen glanced at the servant calmly and said calmly.

The servant bowed his hands and said, "It's Zhou Xintong, the fifth young master of Zhou's family, here!"

When Zhou Dingwen heard this, his hand trembled suddenly, and the fish food in his hand fell like drizzle, falling into the pond in large pieces. The fish were so shocked that they fled in all directions, and ripples appeared on the water.

He turned around, frowning, and looked sharply at the servant, with a hint of unnoticeable nervousness in his voice: "There are people from the Yongbang Room? What are they here for?"

The servant bowed and replied: "Sir, they haven't revealed the specific details. They just say that the situation is urgent and you must go to the front hall to meet us immediately."

Zhou Dingwen felt a little uncomfortable when he heard this.

Yongzhou is the home of the Zhou family, with the most prominent power and status.

This group of them is not even worthy of carrying shoes in front of the Zhou family.

This time he didn't receive any notification. The other party came over suddenly. He was afraid that something might happen, and it wouldn't be a good thing anyway.

"I got it, stand down and I'll be there soon." Zhou Dingwen ordered. Although his tone was calm, his speaking speed involuntarily sped up a bit.

He threw all the fish food in his hand into the pond, clapped his hands, straightened his appearance and immediately walked towards the front hall.

There is an air of luxury among the carved beams and painted pillars in the front hall of the Zhou family.

Zhou Xintong, who was sitting on the main mahogany seat, closed his eyes and meditated, his breathing was long, three long and one short.

If you look carefully, you can see a faint white breath between his breath, which is vague and mysterious.

Then, this rhythmic breathing was quickly broken by a burst of rapid and powerful footsteps.

"Fifth Young Master, long time no see."

Zhou Dingwen, the head of the Zhou family, came in from a distance outside the door.

Before I saw the person, I heard his voice first.

Zhou Xintong opened his eyes leisurely and looked at the door.

Zhou Dingwen walked into the hall with steady steps. When he saw Zhou Xintong sitting on the main seat, a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes, but then it turned into a warm smile.

"What a rare visitor! Speaking of which, the last time I saw you in Yongzhou, it was your tenth birthday party. I never thought that time would fly by and you would be so old."

Zhou Xintong said calmly: "Master Jiu, now is not the time to reminisce about the past. A disaster is about to happen in Taiping County. My grandfather specially asked me to come and take your family back to Yongzhou to temporarily avoid this unnecessary disaster."

Zhou Dingwen stood in the center of the Zhou family's front hall and paused.

He looked up at Zhou Xintong, a trace of surprise and confusion flashed in his eyes, which was quickly replaced by solemnity.

"Oh? What does the fifth young master mean by this? Taiping County has always been peaceful, how could something unexpected happen?"

Faced with this sudden news, Zhou Dingwen couldn't accept it.

He even suspected that Zhou Xintong had other plans for this incident.

Zhou Xintong said in a tone that left no room for doubt: "It's a long story, but one thing is for sure that it won't be false. The Grand Master is worried that this force will spread to our Zhou family, so he decided to let the clan members evacuate first. Keep it safe.”

"Next, you have to seize the time to sell off the property here. In three days, my Zhou family's boat will go upstream along the Wei River and dock at Caodukou outside Taiping County. Then you can come with me."

Zhou Dingwen frowned, and a hint of suspicion flashed in his eyes: "This Taiping County is protected by the government. It has been going well for decades. Our Zhou family has deep roots here. What dangers can threaten us?"

"Everything in the world is unpredictable. Who can tell what will happen next?" Zhou Xintong shook his head, and his tone was more irrefutable: "What I mean is that safety comes first. I would rather believe it than trust it." None. You also know that he values ​​his family the most, and we cannot make any mistakes."

"Besides, I am informing you, not asking for your opinion. If Master Jiu is not willing to give up the wealth here, then the younger generation can only do it for you."

"Not everyone can touch the property of my Zhou family, even if it is a branch."

Zhou Dingwen's face turned red from holding back, and he wanted to refute and refuse, but when he saw Zhou Xintong's aura spreading around his body, it was visible to the naked eye.

It was the cultivation level of Jade Luo Realm, and he was immediately discouraged.

He was silent for a moment, seeming to weigh the pros and cons, and finally nodded slowly. "Well, since it is Grandpa's arrangement, as a member of the Zhou family, I will naturally follow the family's arrangement. In the next few days, I will immediately arrange to dispose of the property and have the family members pack their bags and prepare to set off."

"Thank you, Mr. Jiu, for your understanding." Zhou Xintong showed a relieved smile on his face, "I will arrange everything outside the house to ensure that you and your family arrive in Yongzhou safely."

Zhou Xintong seemed to have remembered something and said, "By the way, I heard that a cousin of mine died at home, or was it Huang Tianjiao's fault?"
