Chapter 25 Murong Villa
Author: Lao Zhongos
The two of them were led by the butler to the main hall and sat down to drink tea. After a while, they saw two middle-aged people, a man and a woman, arriving here.
When the little fairy saw these two people, she immediately rushed forward and shouted affectionately, "Uncle! Auntie! I'm here to wish you a birthday!".
Madam Murong stroked Zhang Jing's hair lovingly, turned to look at Zhang Chen and asked, "Who is this young master?".
"He is a friend of mine. He was traveling around the south of the Yangtze River recently and happened to hear the news about his uncle's birthday. People from all walks of life around him will gather at our villa, so I brought him to see the world," Zhang Jing said, holding Mrs. Murong's arm.
After Zhang Jing finished the introduction, Zhang Chen stepped forward and said, "My dear Zhang Chen, I would like to pay my respects to the head of the Murong family, Mrs. Murong. It just so happens that her birthday is coming soon, so I came here to wish her a happy birthday."
Seeing Zhang Chen's upright posture and extraordinary bearing, the head of the Murong family smiled and said, "There is no need to be polite. Since you are Xiaojing's friend, you can stay for a few days so that you can enjoy the scenery of the villa."
Zhang Chen thanked him and followed the housekeeper to the guest room, leaving the main hall empty for Zhang Jing to reminisce with them.
While walking to the guest room, the butler introduced the relevant scenery along the way. There are a total of twenty or thirty small courtyards. Each small courtyard is an independent courtyard when enclosed. The courtyards have different styles. When the whole courtyard is opened, it is a large garden. After listening to the butler's instructions
After the introduction, Zhang Chen sighed that it was such a clever method.
After walking around for a while, Zhang Chen met Zhang Jing in the back garden, and then asked curiously: "Why are you going to the garden when you are not reminiscing with your uncle and the others? Have you never seen the scenery of this garden?".
Zhang Jing blushed when she heard this, turned and ran away without saying anything, leaving only a confused Zhang Chen.
The scene turned back to the main hall, where Madam Murong was interrogating Zhang Jing about who the young hero she had brought was. She had never brought any friends to her house before.
Zhang Jing said with a shy look: "He is just an ordinary friend."
Without waiting for Madam Murong to ask further questions, Zhang Jing stopped answering and left the main hall quickly, saying that she had something to do.
Zhang Chen returned to the guest room confused, thinking about today's events in his mind. Although Zhang Chen was still a little confused in the end, his original goal was achieved, and he finally arrived at Murong's house smoothly.
A night without words!
Early the next morning, Zhang Chen just got up and opened the door, intending to ask the housekeeper where to have breakfast, when he saw Zhang Jing walking towards here.
Zhang Jing came to him and said, "I'm afraid you don't know where I've dined, so I'll come and take you there."
Zhang Chen stretched out his hand to bow, and said with a smile: "Please lead the way, this heroine! I am very grateful."
Zhang Jing was furious when she heard this, and chased Zhang Chen and started fighting. The two of them walked towards the restaurant, noisily, and passed by a small courtyard that smelled of medicinal herbs. Zhang Chen looked at the small courtyard not far away.
The courtyard is neatly and elegantly decorated, giving you a sense of seclusion from the world.
Zhang Chen guessed that this was the courtyard where Murong Jiu was, and then he pretended to be curious and asked, "This courtyard is so elegantly decorated, who lives there?".
After Zhang Jing listened to Zhang Chen's question, she said angrily: "This is the courtyard of my cousin Murong Jiu, the most beautiful person in the world. You just came here for her, but my cousin doesn't like outsiders, so let's not disturb her."
Come on, let’s go!”.
Zhang Chen stretched out his finger and pointed behind the little fairy. Before Zhang Jing turned around, he heard a cold voice saying: "Zhang Jing, you are arranging me again."
I saw a woman with a delicate face, dressed in blue colored clothes, walking towards me. She had an aura that was out of this world.
Zhang Jing smiled and replied: "Jiu Mei, did I say something wrong just now?".
"That's not wrong. It's true that my courtyard is not suitable for outsiders to enter. After all, it's not good for some poisonous organs to hurt people," Murong Jiu said with an indifferent expression.
After she finished speaking, she turned around and walked towards the restaurant. Zhang Jing snorted behind her and took Zhang Chen's arm and ran over.
In the restaurant, Madam Murong looked at Zhang Jing and Zhang Chen who were eating with a smile. Her intense gaze made Zhang Chen stop his bowl and chopsticks, and after looking at his own clothes, he said, "Madam, you are paying such attention.
Is Zhang Chen being rude?"
Mrs. Murong smiled and said: "Young hero, don't be surprised! Just seeing you eating like this, I thought that my son was the same, so I felt a little nostalgic." Zhang Chen smiled awkwardly after hearing this, and then continued to eat.
After the meal, the head of the Murong family and his wife went ahead. They had to go to the main hall to entertain the people from the world who had arrived in advance. Before leaving, they asked Zhang Jing and Murong Jiu to take Zhang Chen around.
After his parents left, Murong Jiu said calmly, "I still have something to do, so my cousin will do it for me" and then left.
Zhang Jing explained on the side that Murong Jiu was not like this before. When he was a child, he could be said to be lively, cute, and smart, but since he started practicing martial arts passed down by his family, his personality has gradually become colder.
Hearing Zhang Jing's sigh, Zhang Chen remembered that this was a flaw in the Murong family's technique. Unfortunately, he himself was not up to par now. Otherwise, he could help her improve the technique, which would be a mutually beneficial method for both parties.
Zhang Chen kept this in mind and planned to have time to chat with Murong Jiu alone. Then Zhang Chen kept his thoughts in his heart and began to listen carefully to Zhang Jing's explanation while continuing to enjoy the scenery of the villa.
The next day, the birthday of the head of the Murong family was held as scheduled. In the blink of an eye, the dinner was about to begin. After seeing Zhang Chen come in, Mrs. Murong raised her hand and called him to her side. She introduced to everyone that this was the younger generation of their family. Zhang Chen tried to explain but was used by his wife.
Eyes stop.
Everyone in the hall bowed their hands in greeting and shouted: "Zhang Shaoxia!".
Zhang Chen also cupped his fists in return!
After meeting all the people in the world, Zhang Jing took Zhang Chen and planned to go to the main table, but Zhang Chen turned around and pointed to the table next to the corner.
Only then did Zhang Jing realize that Jiang Xiaoyu was there, drinking wine alone, and then followed Zhang Chen towards Jiang Xiaoyu.
Seeing Jiang Xiaoyu drinking one glass after another in frustration, Zhang Chen said with a smile: "Jiang Xiaoyu, when you see big brother here, why don't you say hello?"
Hearing the familiar voice, Jiang Xiaoyu looked up and saw that it was Zhang Chen. He smiled drunkenly and replied: "Zhang...Chen, why are you here too?"
Just after he finished speaking, he saw Zhang Jing standing aside, and he slapped his head and started to act stupid.
"Stop pretending! Now this heroine is no longer interested in treasure maps," Zhang Jing said arrogantly.
Zhang Chen looked around Jiang Xiaoyu and asked: "Where is the iron girl who is following you?".
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Xiaoyu's expression became obviously lonely, and he said sadly: "I have someone to accompany me now, so I don't need me anymore."
"It seems that a lot of things have happened around Xiao Yu'er during this period. I wonder if Jiang Xiaoyu understands now that being smart is not enough in the world. One's own strength is the foundation." Zhang Chen thought to himself
.
Zhang Chen and Zhang Jing sat down at this table and started drinking with Jiang Xiaoyu.
After a while, two more Jianghu people came into the hall. Zhang Chen obviously felt that these two people had unusual identities, because as soon as they entered the hall, everyone who had already started the banquet stood up and saluted one after another, and the head of the Murong family also
He greeted him with a smile.
Jiang Xiaoyu saw the scene between the two and asked curiously, "Who is this?" Such a grand scene.
Black Spider, who had been silent and had a very low sense of presence, replied in a muffled voice, "The middle-aged man is Jiangnan hero Jiang Biehe, and the young one is his son Jiang Yulang."
"Look at Jiang Yulang's wretched eyes. He is not a good person at first glance." Jiang Xiaoyu looked at Jiang Yulang and said.
Zhang Chen wanted to be able to read people accurately!
Jiang Xiaoyu asked: "The name Jiangnan Daxia is not a small one."
Zhang Chen answered from the side: "If you want to be a hero, you have to know how to package it, choose the time and place, and then perform heroic acts of justice. Soon you will find that your reputation spreads in the world.
Otherwise, if you don't leave your name and just keep doing good deeds, how many good things would you have to do to let people know your name? How quick and convenient it is like what I just said."
After listening to Zhang Chen's words, everyone felt that the name "Hero" seemed to be an insult. They shook their heads to express that they could not accept it, but in their hearts they felt that Zhang Chen's words made sense.
Unexpectedly, not long after Zhang Chen said these words, someone wanted to assassinate Jiang Biehe at the birthday banquet, but due to his low martial arts, he failed and was captured.
What is dramatic is that after capturing the assassin, Jiang Biehe thoughtfully asked the assassin to tell him the reason for assassinating him, and then generously expressed his forgiveness in front of everyone.
Seeing the heroes at the birthday banquet praising Jiang Biehe, everyone looked at each other and felt that the scene just now was a bit false.
Zhang Chen didn't expect that just after he finished speaking, someone would put on a good show. His acting skills just now would have easily won him the Best Actor Award in his previous life.
Jiang Xiaoyu said disdainfully: "Is this the hero of Jiangnan, how can I compare myself to the hero of Yan Nantian?"
When everyone was planning to continue drinking, Jiang Xiaoyu rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "I'm going out, you guys drink first."
Looking at Jiang Xiaoyu's eyes rolling around, Zhang Chen knew that he had another bad idea. He immediately paid attention to Jiang Xiaoyu's movements and saw him throwing something into the wine jar as he passed by, then turning back to the table and laughing.
Then he said to everyone, "Let you watch a good show."
