Chapter 108 Guests coming
Zhou Tieyi sat down and took a sip of water. "What about the second rank?"
Hao Ren smiled bitterly and said, "The merchant has reached the end of the road at the third rank, we dare not hope for the second rank."
Zhou Tieyi talked about another matter, "I will need you to help me with something later."
Hao Ren was delighted and immediately clasped his fists and said, "I am willing to die for you, Lord General."
Zhou Tieyi waved his hand and said, "It's not a difficult task. It's what you are good at. Collect money for me, open a chamber of commerce, and then manage the money."
It was noon now, and guests with military honors had begun to arrive one after another.
They were still arranged around Willow Lake, with a stream flowing and everyone enjoying food like they were having a picnic, which was no different from a month ago.
But is there really no difference?
When everyone saw Zhou Tieyi wearing armor, with a five-dragon reunion jade pendant hanging from his waist, and followed by three people.
I sighed in my heart, how could there be such a change in just one month?
Zhou Tieyi greeted everyone first, and then introduced them to everyone with a smile. He first led Mei Juncang to his side, without saying anything elegant, and only said, "Everyone knows that Uncle Mei asked me to discipline Mei Juncang."
At the Liushang Qushui Banquet, all the young men of military honor were silent, because they did not understand why Mei Juncang was so well-behaved.
"Today, everyone is a witness. From now on, Mei Juncang will be my disciple, Zhou Tieyi. If you have offended me, please raise your hands slightly for my sake."
After hearing this, Mei Juncang took a cup of tea from the servant next to him and handed it over respectfully. Zhou Tieyi also drank the tea, completing a simple ceremony of becoming a disciple.
Everyone was still in a daze.
Is there something going on that we don't know about?
Wasn’t it Zhou Tieyi who caused Mei Juncang to have a head full of white hair?
Mei Juncang's father still wanted to kill Zhou Tieyi. If Zhou Tieyi hadn't been smart and hadn't pleased the emperor when he was fishing for dragon fish, he might have been guarding the border now.
The first few people who reacted saw that Zhou Tieyi was not joking and hurriedly congratulated him.
"Congratulations, Brother Zhou, for getting such a great disciple."
"Yes, yes, Jun Cang will be ours from now on, how could we not protect him?"
Some of the more clever ones said directly, "Maybe we will have to ask Jun Cang for help in the future."
After some brotherly greetings, they had to toast each other. Mei Juncang also accepted the toast with a smile. Although he had no cultivation now, his whole body had been transformed by the Confucian luck and a third-grade small Zhoutian pill.
No longer looks like a human being.
The banquet had just begun when the doorman came to report that there were two important guests outside who needed to be greeted.
Zhou Tieyi bowed and apologized, saying that he was going out to greet the guests.
Everyone also reacted.
With Zhou Tieyi's current power, the person who could allow him to go out to greet him must be no simple person.
Thinking of the lively scene at the door when Zhou Tieyi broke through to the ninth level last time, the Zhou family and the Zhao family still have a gambling fight that has not been completed.
Everyone became curious and said quickly, "We should go and greet the guests who are welcome by Brother Zhou."
After saying that, dozens of people followed Zhou Tieyi out of the house.
First of all, Zhou Tieyi actually met the granddaughter of the third-rank official from the Miscellaneous Family at the gatehouse.
Since she didn't have an invitation, she was naturally stopped by the doorman.
However, the Zhou family's doorman saw that the little girl was cute, and thought of his young master's romantic style, so he offered tea and prepared to wait for Zhou Tieyi to receive the distinguished guest before reporting. "Young man from the Zhou family!"
Chu Huanhuan swallowed the unfinished mung bean cake in one gulp, took another sip of tea, and then said, "You didn't even give me a token last time, so I couldn't enter your house."
Chu Huanhuan was wearing a dress made of patchwork cloth. It seemed that she had sewn it herself. It had a postmodern aesthetic. Although the colors were complicated, they were not messy. Each piece of cloth had clear lines. With the silver bell bracelet, it was quite beautiful.
If it were in the previous life, it would definitely be haute couture, after all, these were clothes made by the direct descendant of the family.
Chu Huanhuan did not blame Menzi for stopping her. She had traveled all over the country over the years and had seen too many things.
I can't tell everyone that I'm the granddaughter of a third-rank official from a miscellaneous family.
The doorman of the Zhou mansion did a good job, but the way he looked at me was a little weird!
Zhou Tieyi was stunned. He didn't want to get close to the other party's grandfather. After all, the old man dared to use public opinion to test the queen of heaven. It seemed that he was not an easy person to deal with. Getting close to him might not be more beneficial than harmful to him.
But since the other party's granddaughter came to see him today, Zhou Tieyi thought about it and said to the doorman, "This girl..."
Chu Huanhuan immediately interrupted, "My name is Chu Huanhuan!"
Zhou Tieyi's dimples appeared as he continued, "Next time Miss Huanhuan comes to my house, just lead her directly to my yard."
Menzi nodded quickly, he was right in his guess and almost committed a big mistake.
Zhou Tieyi turned around and asked, "Miss Chu, where do you live?"
Chu Huanhuan smiled, like a half-ripe green apple, "I am temporarily staying in Qingluo Lane on the South Gate Street of Zhuque City. I will know when you get there."
Qingluo Lane is the name of a neighborhood, and at least a few hundred families live there. But since Chu Huanhuan said so, Zhou Tieyi didn't ask any more questions and just nodded.
"Young man from the Zhou family, I came here today to talk about something."
She looked around. There were so many people here that it was not appropriate to discuss the matter of the third-rank physiognomist in public. Her eyes indicated that they should talk about it in private.
Zhou Tieyi saw it, and the young masters who followed Zhou Tieyi also saw it.
The smile in their eyes remained unchanged. If it were in the past, they would have definitely started a commotion, but it was different now. They just secretly remembered Zhou Tieyi's lustful shortcoming and kept it for future use.
Zhou Tieyi was about to go out to receive someone, so after thinking for a while, he said to the doorman, "Take Miss Chu to my yard for tea first."
Menzi's smile deepened, and he half-bent over to Chu Huanhuan and said, "Miss Chu, please come this way."
After making arrangements for Chu Huanhuan, Zhou Tieyi went out and the first people he saw were the brother and sister from the Yuchi family.
Although the Yuchi family had good medicine, in order to teach Yuchi Jing a lesson, Yuchi Pojun did not use the best medicine. He just stabilized his injuries. So when Yuchi Jing came to the wedding banquet today, he actually needed his sister Yuchi Mengyao to support him.
He still loves this scholar's gown so much.
Zhou Tieyi took a look at Yuchi Jing's ugly face and complained in his heart.
My friend, if you want to achieve great things, at least you have to wear the right clothes. In many cases, the clothes you wear are a kind of attitude, which is why Confucianism attaches great importance to clothing.
You've been studying for so long, but you don't even understand this. No wonder your grandfather wants to beat you. This is none of my business.
