Chapter 758 Return to Zhou Lane

Huijiang Zhouxiang is a name that only local people in Donglin know, because this is not the name of an alley street, but the general name of several streets in a region. It is here for the Zhou clan. It can be said that all the Zhou family members in Donglin will come from Zhouxiang if they trace the roots. Xilin Street is also the location of the Zhou family, which is the core of Zhouxiang.

At nine o'clock in the morning, a big horse parked at the entrance of Xilin Street alley. Then Zhou Ming and Caitlin got out of the car while many people were watching, which caused a commotion. I don't know how many people wanted to squeeze in front and wanted to witness Zhou Ming and Caitlin with their own eyes. It was like seeing the excitement of the country's leaders, and the shouts of "Mr. Prince Consort" also proved their excitement.

But this is normal. After all, Caitlin is too beautiful, just like a princess who walked out of a fairy tale. She wore a well-tailored dress to outline her perfect figure curve. Purple is a favorite color of most European royal families, highlighting her grandeur and nobleness. A black veil tied on her head, in addition to being mysterious, it also adds a lot of elegance to Caitlin.

Caitlin's delicate face as delicate as a doll should have been very cute, but now she has a different temperament when paired with this outfit.

Simply put, it is a beggar who knows nothing. When he sees Caitlin now, he will definitely know that this person is either rich or noble!

As for Zhou Ming, he is not the type that looks amazing at first glance. He is just a decent suit and carefully designed head shape. He can feel that this person is definitely not simple.

Zhou Huangmin, Qian Lizhu and several of his brothers were waiting at the entrance of Xilin Street. When they saw Zhou Ming coming, they hurriedly came forward, and even Zhou Ming's car was opened by Zhou Huangmin himself.

"Mr. Prince Concubine, Princess Harrusburg, I welcome you very much. Your arrival makes me feel glorious!" Zhou Huangmin shouted Zhou Ming's flattery and looked like a dog-legged person.

Zhou Ming shook hands with him with a smile. To be honest, Zhou Huangmin surprised Zhou Ming. He didn't expect that he could even find out Caitlin's identity. It seems that he has done his homework for this welcome. Of course, it can be said that there is something else behind this...

Several core families of the Zhou family shook hands with Zhou Ming respectively, and then Zhou Huangmin took Zhou Ming and Caitlin into Xilin Street.

After entering the street, there were not so many people watching around. However, compared to the crazy star-chasing madness at the door, the people inside seemed much more real. They just stood in front of their own houses, or came to the roadside to watch Zhou Ming and his party. Occasionally, naughty children would run into the middle of the road, which would scare Zhou Huangmin to tremble. The parents of the child would also take their children away as soon as possible and apologize to Zhou Ming.

Along the way, Zhou Huangmin and Zhou Ming stopped and stopped. Zhou Huangmin introduced the situation of the Zhou family to Zhou Ming. According to Zhou Huangmin's introduction, the Zhou family came from the Zhou family in Runan and was very historical. Their Donglin branch was a descendant of Zhou Yu, the famous governor of the Eastern Wu in history. When the Donglin Party of the Ming Dynasty was the most powerful, the Zhou family also had a cabinet chief, which was the most glorious time of the Zhou family.

In modern times, China fell, and the Zhou family was hit hard. They have not recovered much until now. Although some people still study abroad, some are in government agencies, even political and legal committees, and some are doing business and factory operations, but this is also the case.

It is just a general local family, far behind before.

"Mr. Prince Consort, you came to Donglin last time. When I saw you, I knew you must be a phoenix among the people! Your grandfather took the initiative to take on the burden of the Zhou family and went to Linyang. Your father wanted to return to his roots, and Prince Consort, you are even better. So I have very reason to believe that Prince Consort, you must be a direct descendant of the Grand Governor Zhou Yu, because only the blood of the Grand Governor is worthy of you!"

Zhou Huangmin accompanied Zhou Ming all the way, telling Zhou Ming about the family tree and bloodline. Of course, he said that the family tree was fake, and it was true that he wanted to flatter Zhou Ming.

Zhou Ming just shook his head and smiled bitterly at these things. He didn't believe in Zhou Huangmin's nonsense. He might have had some contact with Zhou Lang who burned the Red Cliff. But more than a thousand years have passed. Unless the lineage of the Kong family has been preserved intact, most of them cannot be found. Zhou Ming doesn't believe that people like Zhou Huangmin have the perseverance to investigate such things.

Moreover, many people nowadays revise family tree, and in order to be related to some famous figures in history, it is not uncommon to modify or even fabricate family tree.

Zhou Ming thought of this and said to Zhou Huangmin: "By seniority, I should call you uncle, so I have to remind you that no matter whether we are really descendants of Zhou Yu of the Three Kingdoms, our attitude towards the genealogy should be rigorous and repaired based on the facts, rather than deliberately making up for some purpose. Uncle, what do you think?"

Zhou Ming's tone was very calm, but it made him shudder in Zhou Huangmin's ears. He nodded repeatedly to show that he remembered it.

Then they soon arrived at the destination. Zhou Ming pointed to the very grand archway in front of him and asked Zhou Huangmin, "Is this what you are talking about the Zhou family ancestral hall?"

It’s no wonder that Zhou Ming asked this question, because Zhou Ming is so familiar with the so-called “Zhou Family Ancestral Hall”. Last time, Zhou Ming accompanied his parents to Donglin, the mansion that hosted a birthday gift for his grandfather was here.

"If I understand it correctly, generally a ancestral hall is a place where families worship their ancestors and discuss family affairs in front of their ancestors. Except for some elderly people in the ancestral hall, ordinary people cannot live here. I remember correctly, right?" Zhou Ming pointed to the Zhou family mansion and asked.

Zhou Huangmin lowered his head. He seemed very panicked in the face of Zhou Ming's questioning, and cold sweat kept flowing down his face.

He had to panic, because he used the name of building a ancestral hall to raise money from relatives and friends over the years, but in fact he used it to build his own house. Later, in order to block others' accusations, he simply connected his home with the ancestral hall, which became what he is now. The ancestral hall is his home, his home is the ancestral hall, and the most grand mansion on Xilin Street.

Zhou Huangmin can act like a rogue in front of others, but when facing Zhou Ming, he dared not do that at all. He could not predict the consequences of doing that.

"Mr....Mr. I'm sorry, we are just living in the ancestral hall for the time being. I know this is wrong. Please rest assured. We will move out as soon as possible, please rest assured!" Zhou Huangmin said.

Zhou Mingen nodded, regardless of how Zhou Huangmin's family should live when they moved out of here. In Zhou Ming's opinion, this was their own fault.

Zhou Ming then walked into the door and saw the grandfather Zhou Feiyi.

After this time, Zhou Feiyi did not cook in the kitchen, but instead wore the jacket that the elderly in the ancestral hall should have worn, and sat in the center of the lobby of the ancestral hall with a cane. From a distance, he was a grandparent who was in charge of family affairs, had absolute voice over the entire family, and had a very majestic ruler.

However...if it wasn't for the old grandfather Zhou Feiyi who was too old.

Zhou Ming knew that Grandpa Zhou Feiyi was nearly 80 years old, but last time he came to the kitchen, his energy was pretty good, and his hair was even black.

But this time, Zhou Ming saw his grandfather again, and he was already a twilight old man. Not only was his hair all white, but his face and hands were full of wrinkles, and his eyes became a little cloudy. From a distance, he looked more like a dead tree.

As for the situation of my grandfather, there is no need to hire a doctor. When anyone sees him, he will sigh and say that such an old man has stepped into the coffin with one foot, and it is not surprising that bad news will be heard.

Zhou Ming subconsciously glanced at Zhou Huangmin, and just glanced, which scared Zhou Huangmin so much that he could no longer hold back and said incoherently: "Mr. Prince Concubine, please believe me. We are all very good to our father. There is no place to abuse him. We are all diligent, and we don't know why he became like this..."

Zhou Ming sighed. He knew that what Zhou Huangmin said was true. After all, even tigers and poisons are not enough to eat, not to mention that the grandfather had been rushed to the kitchen to be a chef by them before. What crimes did he not suffer in the Zhou family?

The old man is like this now, I am afraid that he is desperate about Zhou Huangmin and the Zhou family. In addition, when he and his parents came here last time, the old man felt that he and his parents were living so well, and he let go of the last thing in his heart. All kinds of things combined together made the old man become like this in just a few months.

This is the grandfather, there is only the grandfather here, and the third grandfather who came to Zhou Ming back to Donglin for a blind date is not here. Zhou Ming had already known it before. The third grandfather has always been unable to stand the style of Zhou Huangmin's family. He had moved out of Xilin Street and didn't move much with Zhou Lane. It is precisely for this reason that the third grandfather was not aware of Zhou Ming's birthday last time.

Zhou Ming finally didn't say anything to Zhou Huangmin, so he let him guess it himself. Zhou Ming walked to the old man.

"Grandpa, I'm Zhou Ming. I'm here to see you. And I know that the Zhou family's genealogy is time to be renovated, so I decided to help the Zhou family repair the genealogy, which can be regarded as fulfilling your last wish for Grandpa." Zhou Ming said.

Zhou Ming came last time and knew that his grandfather’s biggest wish was to repair the Zhou family’s genealogy. Although he failed to make the family prosperous, he had to at least sort out the family relationship.

In addition, Zhou Ming also knew that his grandfather and father had always wanted to come back after they left Donglin. It was a pity that his grandfather did not return to his roots, and his father could only add the name of his family to the genealogy. Zhou Ming came too hastily last time and had no time to finish this matter. Now Zhou Huangmin made such a request, so Zhou Ming agreed, which is also an important reason why Zhou Ming agreed.
