Chu Chuyan's face was slightly red. Although many people had praised her beauty over the years, they either praised her behind her back or were very tactful in front of her face. However, she was not as straightforward and enthusiastic as this guy, which made her feel a little uncomfortable.
Mrs. Chu on the side frowned when she heard this. This guy was glib and tongue-in-cheek. Why did he become more and more annoying the more he looked at him?
Chu Zhongtian beside him coughed and reminded: "You don't talk when you eat, and you don't talk when you sleep."
When Zu An saw that it was good, he accepted it, and the few of them ate in silence. The meal was quickly finished, and then a servant brought salt water for mouthwash and removed the bowls and chopsticks.
Zu An felt a little strange. He had always sent food to his room before, but today he called him to come to the main table to eat with them. Could it be that his son-in-law had already been recognized and accepted by them?
While he was thinking about it, Chu Zhongtian had already spoken: "Chu Yan, how was your trip to Luling this time?"
Zu An was stunned. It seemed that they were going to talk about business. After telling him all this, did he really not regard himself as an outsider?
Chu Chuyan replied: "I went to investigate. The batch of goods we intercepted before was probably done by people from Heifeng Village. Unfortunately, I took people to sweep around, but they seemed to have disappeared from the world and could not be found at all.
No trace."
"Black Wind Village?" Zu An was stunned. The last time he rescued Yu Yanluo in the valley outside the city, he seemed to be from the Black Wind Village. Huh, talking about this made him angry. The woman Yu Yanluo opened her mouth.
Just leave with a blank promise. Is it really true that the more beautiful a woman is, the better she is at cheating?
Chu Zhongtian sighed: "This is the characteristic of Heifeng Village. They come and go like the wind. As soon as our large troops arrive, they will hide in Longyin Mountain. We can't send large troops to escort the goods every time.
It’s such a headache.”
He paused and then said: "I heard that they ambushed the Yu family's convoy a few days ago, and many people died. I wonder if there is a chance to combine with the Yu family to completely eliminate the cancer of Heifeng Village."
"I think you are thinking about Yu Yanluo," Mrs. Chu snorted, "The Yu family is in a lot of trouble right now. How can she have the energy to deal with the Black Wind Village?"
Chu Zhongtian blushed and hurriedly pulled his wife's sleeves: "It's not what you think. Besides, there are children here..."
Mrs. Chu turned her face away and ignored him at all.
A knowing smile appeared on Zu An's face. It turned out that Mr. Chu also pursued Yu Yanluo back then. It's no wonder, that woman was indeed incredibly beautiful.
Chu Chuyan cleared her throat and came out to resolve her father's embarrassment: "Now the business of our weapons shop is in some trouble. The Lingquan was polluted before, and the weapons made by our family have lost their greatest advantage. The Yuan family seems to have found a new one recently.
A powerful rune master, the quality of his weapons is no worse than ours, and he sells them cheaper than us. He has already occupied a lot of our market, and if this continues, it may shake the foundation."
Zu An was moved when he heard this. Rune Master, he had seen some magic circle lines with a faint blue light on the carriages of Chu Chuyan and Yu Yanluo before. It should be the handiwork of the rune master she said, which can add many auxiliary functions.
, engraved on weapons are naturally more powerful than ordinary weapons.
The shabby school he went to taught some etiquette and law every day. If he was taught more of this kind of knowledge, he wouldn't be so boring.
In fact, this is because he misunderstood Mingyue Academy. As the best school in the nearby counties, the teachers for these courses are first-rate. It's just that because he is in the yellow class, there are very few such courses.
Anyway, they have no cultivation qualifications, and it is a waste of time to take them. There may be one or two cultivation courses a week, so we should give them some relevant knowledge.
On the contrary, several other classes, especially the Tianzi class, basically take spiritual practice classes, and there are very few etiquette courses.
"Where did the Yuan family hire the rune master?" Mrs. Chu frowned and asked, "Do they have such background?"
Chu Chuyan replied: "They don't have it, but the Wu family in the next county does. Their head is also a duke, and they have always coveted our Chu family's market share. This time I also found out that the Wu family is secretly supporting the Yuan family. Otherwise, they
I don’t dare to be so blatant now.”
"Yes, yes, the guy named Yuan was very arrogant in school today. He even told his brother-in-law that he would teach him a lesson in the family competition." Chu Huanzhao on the side had been unable to say anything before and was anxious, but now he finally did.
Now that she knows about it, she can't wait to show off her presence.
"This Yuan family is really bullying others. Even if our Chu family is just a servant or a dog, it should not be their turn to be bullied by the Yuan family!" Mrs. Chu slammed the table and became furious, "Let's go to the Yuan family to talk to them!"
Zu An glanced at her quietly, indicating that he was offended.
"Madam, calm down, madam, calm down, the new governor Sang Hong has taken office, and he is worried that he has no excuse to deal with us." Chu Zhongtian hurriedly pulled her back, "At this stage, being impatient will mess up big plans."
Zu An's eyebrows twitched when he heard this. It seemed that the Chu family was still on the surface, and there seemed to be many crises.
While calming his wife's emotions, Chu Zhongtian looked back at Zu An: "Xiao An, that Yuan Wendong is making things difficult for you, are you okay?"
Before Zu An had time to answer, Chu Huanzhao had already said: "Not only Yuan Wendong, but also Hong Xingying has to deal with him. He is obviously from our Chu family, but he is creeping in and out. What a shame!"
Seeing her angry look, Zu An couldn't help but be secretly moved. This sister-in-law felt more sorry for him than his wife.
"Hong Xingying?" Chu Zhongtian frowned.
Mrs. Chu next to her said, "I know this kid. He has always had a proud temperament, and he liked your sister before. Naturally, he doesn't have a good impression of Zu An. As a young man, it's normal for him to be unable to control his anger."
Chu was still worried: "But he..."
"Okay," Madam Chu stopped her from continuing, "That kid has been working hard in the Chu family these years, and his father has been loyal to our Chu family for decades. Don't talk about these little things again, so as not to offend them.
heart of."
Chu Huai pursed his lips and his cheeks bulged. He was obviously very dissatisfied. If you are afraid of chilling the hearts of the Hong family and his son, aren't you afraid of chilling the heart of your brother-in-law?
Zu An didn't care, after all, a useless son-in-law was indeed not as important as Butler Hong and his son in the eyes of Madam Chu. Previously, Cheng Shou Ping mentioned that there was a rumor in the house that Madam had intended to recruit Hong Xing as her son-in-law. Now it seems that it is not groundless.
He subconsciously glanced at Chu Chuyan who was standing aside. Well, luckily the cheap wife's expression didn't change, and she obviously didn't have any interest in the man named Hong either.
Chu Chuyan finally spoke: "Compared with anything else, I am more concerned about the family competition in half a month."
Mrs. Chu frowned: "Didn't we win every time before? What's more, with you here, who is your opponent in the Yuan family?"
Chu Zhongtian shook his head: "The Yuan family is not weak. They are among the four wealthy businessmen alongside our Chu family. But because they did not have the corresponding titles before, they did not dare to offend us too much, so the family competition was more or less a formality.
But this time they have the support of the Wu family, so they will definitely go all out, and I suspect that there will be people from the Wu family secretly involved this time."
He paused, and then looked at Zu An with a complicated expression: "And he is involved this time, so we lost a battle without even fighting."
Zu An was dumbfounded. I was eating so well. Why did he suddenly involve me? "Well, I'm not a cultivator, so why do I still have to play?"
Chu Zhongtian replied: "In the family competition, according to the regulations, the children of each family must play. After all, you are our uncle now. Even if we don't send you to play, the Wu family and the Yuan family will not agree. Lord Taishou."
I will also intervene vocally. Calling you here this time is actually to tell you about this and make you mentally prepared."
Chu Huanzhao suddenly became anxious: "Today in the academy, Yuan Wendong kept saying that he was going to be abolished. If he sends his brother-in-law to the stage, wouldn't he be asking him to die?"
"That's just right." Chu Chuyan replied.
Zu An was startled, thinking that even if you were dissatisfied with me, you wouldn't use this method to murder your husband.
Chu Huanzhao was also stunned and looked at him in disbelief: "Sister, you..."
But Chu Zhongtian spoke: "Listen to what she said, Chu Yan never makes mistakes without aim."
Chu Chuyan then slowly said: "Among the children of the Yuan family, Yuan Wendong is the most outstanding. I heard that he has broken through to the fifth level in the near future. Although I am not afraid of him, no other children in the family are his opponents.
.The Yuan family will not be stupid enough to send him to play against me. This way he is destined to win. Instead of wasting other masters, it is better to let this guy go. Anyway, he will lose no matter who he plays against. He can still win against Yuan Wendong.
Help the rest of us get a chance."
Zu An roughly understood that she was using Tian Ji's horse racing strategy, pitting her lower horse against the upper horse... Bah, I'm not an inferior horse. If I were a stallion, I'd give it some thought.
Chu was worried: "But wouldn't he be very dangerous?"
Mrs. Chu on the side frowned slightly, wondering why her second daughter was so concerned about that wimp today.
Chu Chuyan replied: "Don't worry, I will arrange for him to be the last one to play. When it is his turn, the overall situation has been decided. It doesn't matter whether he can play or not. Naturally, there will be no need to compete in that game."
Chu Huanzhao blinked: "What if the winner hasn't been decided by the time we get to him?"
Chu Chuyan was also stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "Don't worry, it's not that coincidental."
Just set the flag!
While Zu An secretly complained, he still said: "It doesn't matter even if there is no winner. The protagonist has always been the last one to appear in the finale. When the time comes, I will definitely bring a victory to the Chu family."
In just a few days, he has cultivated from a loser to the third level. In half a month, his strength can definitely be improved. Even if he can't reach the fifth level, with his plug-ins, think about the strategy.
A way to win.
After hearing his words, Mrs. Chu frowned: "Zu An, since Yan'er has married you, I won't say much about the past, but can you change your big talk?
What's wrong with a man? A man is not afraid that he is incompetent, but afraid that he cannot be down-to-earth. Who is Yuan Wendong? He has reached the fifth level of cultivation and is a strong man who can control elements. You still want to fight him and beat him?
?snort!"
After saying that, he walked away directly.
The anger value from Qin Wanru is +763!
Zu An shrugged and didn't explain anything.
It seemed that Mrs. Chu had quite a prejudice against him. Thinking of this made his balls ache. People said that the more the mother-in-law looked at her son-in-law, the more she liked him. How could she have completely changed when she came here?
