After a day of traveling, the relatively majestic Jibei City had appeared in the eyes of Jiang Ergou and He Huaichun.
But before entering the city, He Huaichun looked a little nervous just standing at the city gate. He was not afraid of people's jokes when he said it. This boy with a third-level strength at such a young age was actually afraid of going home.
He looks just like those children who made mistakes when they were young and dared not go home.
"I'm just going back to see you. Why are you acting like you're about to be guillotined? Is it possible that your father will really break your legs? But you are already a third-level master. Even if you stand and let your father
Even if he hits you, it’s impossible for him to break your legs, right?”
"well!"
He Huaichun did not speak, but sighed heavily, but everyone could hear the helplessness in his words. He stared at Jibeicheng again for a while, and He Huaichun finally recovered his thoughts.
"Come on, let's go to the city."
Jiang Ergou was a little worried about his state, but he really didn't know what stimulated him, so he could only follow him step by step.
Before, Jiang Ergou only knew that He Huaichun's family was rich, but after entering Jibei City, he realized what real wealth meant.
The Jibei He family in Hehuaichun may not be worth mentioning in the entire Chu world, but if this Jibei County was singled out, no one would dare to claim that the He family is the second richest family!
Not to mention the distance, let’s take Jibei City, which is right in front of you. On the first street after entering the city, 90% of the shops have the He Family’s signboard, and the further you go, the He Family’s
The more shops there are, the He family has its share in all walks of life such as rice, cloth, and rouge.
After walking most of Jibeicheng, Jiang Ergou had to sigh in his heart: Rather than saying that Jibeicheng belongs to Dachu, it is better to say that it belongs to the He family!
Because there is really no other way, except for the county government office and the six-door branch rudder in the city, most of the other cities are hung with a crane-character flag.
"Let me go, Mr. He, it turns out your family is so rich! If it were me, Uncle Ghost would sneak out quietly! Marry several wives, wait for the inheritance of the family business, and then live a warm life with a wife and children.
Are you having a bad day?"
He Huaichun glanced at him lightly.
"Okay! What's wrong? If I had your first-grade sword cultivating ability now, I wouldn't run out secretly! But I told my father back then. Since I have made up my mind to practice martial arts, I must
I need to practice to become famous, but now? I haven’t even reached the second level yet!”
Jiang Ergou stopped and turned around to look at He Huaichun.
"Is that why you don't want to go home?"
He Huaichun hesitated for a long time before speaking hesitantly.
"Half and half!"
Looking at He Huaichun's embarrassed look, Jiang Ergou made a bold guess in his mind, so much so that he even frightened himself when the guess came out.
"Boy He, the real reason why you don't want to go home is because your unmarried wife is ugly!"
"Your wife is the ugly one! All your wives and sweethearts are ugly!"
He Huaichun blushed all of a sudden, but when Jiang Ergou saw this, he thought his guess was seven to eight percent credible.
He Huaichun was determined to teach Jiang Fuyu a lesson, but when He Huaichun thought about his strength, he felt that there were some things. If you endure it, you will find that tomorrow will be better!
"I won't talk to you anymore. If you want to go back, just go back quickly. Anyway, my father should have known that I have entered the city by now. It's too late to regret it."
As for where He Huaichun's home is, it is different from what everyone has guessed. Not only does his family not live in those prosperous areas, but in a secluded corner of the city.
However, considering his family's wealth, there is no need to live in those noisy and lively places. To be precise, the place where He Huaichun's family is located is the bustling area of Jibei City.
When they arrived at the door of He Huaichun's house, Jiang Ergou and the others didn't even need to knock on the door as they opened it themselves. Then a group of boys wearing the same clothes filed out of the door and surrounded He Huaichun.
"Master, you are finally back
I'm sorry, I've been mad at you these days. You have to be careful when you see me later, otherwise even my wife won't be able to protect you."
"snort!"
While these young men were still chattering away, there was a cold snort from the door, and then a person dressed like a butler walked out slowly.
He first walked to Jiang Ergou and said respectfully.
"This young man has invited you. My master said that he is a guest from afar, so he invites you to rest inside."
After saying that, he stretched out his hand toward the mansion, as if inviting Jiang Ergou to come in. Under the signal from He Huaichun's eyes, Jiang Ergou stumbled in step by step.
And just when the housekeeper passed by He Huaichun, Jiang Ergou was keenly aware that the housekeeper had lightly kicked He Huaichun and left a message.
"When you meet the master later, remember to admit your mistake directly."
This butler's skills are very fast. If Jiang Ergou hadn't been powerful enough, he wouldn't have noticed it. It seems that this butler should be He Huaichun's previous master. Judging from this hand alone, his master still has two brushes.
of.
Among the three of them, He Huaichun walked at the end with his head lowered. On the contrary, Jiang Ergou walked to the front and walked all the way to the reception room of He's family under the guidance of the housekeeper.
After the housekeeper went in to report, He Huaichun was left outside, and only Jiang Ergou was invited in.
There was only one person sitting in the room. From the appearance, this person seemed to be quite old, but although he was older, he looked very energetic and did not look like someone of his age at all.
"Little brother, thank you for bringing my useless son back. If he was allowed to run around alone, I really don't know where to find him."
Jiang Ergou could bluntly hurt He Huaichun, but that was when no one was around. At this moment, in front of his father, Jiang Ergou finally found his conscience and wanted to say a few nice words to He Huaichun.
"My words are serious. Although He Huaichun is a bit naughty, he still knows the difference between right and wrong. He took the initiative to come back to see you this time."
Jiang Ergou thought to himself, it was He Huaichun who said he wanted to come back to get the money, so this should be regarded as his suggestion to go home.
But He Huaichun and his father couldn't see what Jiang Ergou was thinking, so naturally he didn't believe Jiang Ergou's words.
"Little brother, do you think you understand my son or do I understand my son? According to that boy's character, if it weren't for some other reasons I don't know, he would definitely not come back."
Jiang Ergou blushed a little after his half-truth and half-false words were exposed, but in order to have a long-term meal ticket in the future, he still planned to say a few more words to He Huaichun.
"Old man, actually that kid He Huaichun has really good talent in practicing swordsmanship. If a famous teacher guides him, it won't be difficult to break through to the first rank in the future."
Father He Huaichun, who was sitting in his seat, narrowed his eyes slightly, apparently doubting what Jiang Ergou said.
"Little brother, according to my butler, he can't see through you. Could it be that at such a young age, little brother has already reached the second-level realm or the appalling first-level realm!"
"I can barely be considered a master."
Jiang Ergou didn't say it clearly, and the old man sitting in the high position didn't ask further questions. In his heart, he didn't think that this little guy who came back with his son could have a first-class realm.
"Actually, it's not that I don't let that kid from Huaichun practice martial arts. If I had been determined not to let him practice martial arts, he would have been just an ordinary person until now. It's just that my He family has been good at business for generations, and Huaichun is a
He is a single seedling, no matter what, he will still have to take over the business of our He family in the future."
"But there is no conflict between the two, right?"
"Cough cough cough."
I don’t know if He Huaichun’s father did it on purpose. He suddenly started coughing at this moment. It seemed that he was sending a message to Jiang Ergou, asking him to tell He Huaichun: Your father is already very old.
I can’t support this family business for many more years!
Jiang Ergou didn't answer the question immediately because he really didn't know how to answer. He didn't take it to heart to take He Huaichun to find Yang Dongqing before. He just wanted a word of fate, but now he must hurry up.
,because
He didn't want the good seedling of He Huaichun to be buried like this.
"Old man, I know there is no credibility in saying some things, but a person always has to have a dream. If He Huaichun really gives up practicing swordsmanship now and follows you in business, then even if he takes your He family's family in the future,
He won’t be happy even if the business is full and the entire Da Chu is done.”
Hearing this, the old man also fell silent. He only had one son, so why didn't he want to make him happy? But someone must take care of this family business! Since He Huaichun is a descendant of the He family, he naturally
Stand up for what is your duty.
Realizing that the old man had not spoken, Jiang Ergou continued.
"Uncle, do you know why I have to bring him back for a visit this time? Because if the knot in his heart cannot be opened, then no matter how talented he is, it will be useless and he will not be able to break through to the first rank in his life! Uncle, I
I hope you can give He Huaichun a chance, and I can also give you a promise. It can be as short as three years or as long as five years. I will definitely let He Huaichun come back, and by then he will become a first-class master!"
The old man still didn't speak, but there was already a different look in his eyes.
"Let Huaichun come in."
The old man shouted out the door, and then the door was opened by the housekeeper and He Huaichun walked in.
Following the housekeeper's advice, He Huaichun knelt down on the ground immediately after he came in, and then said with a tearful voice.
"Dad, the child is wrong."
"What's wrong?"
"The child shouldn't sneak out without telling you."
"Snapped!"
The old man slapped the table hard, looking a little angry.
"I think you still don't know what's wrong! As an old man like me, why can't you go out and have a half-cent relationship with me? But do you think it's a man's fault to abandon a girl and run away alone on the day of engagement? It's just you.
You still want to practice swordsmanship? You are not as responsible as a woman."
He Huaichun lowered his head and said nothing, but he probably didn't know what to say, not to mention that he did not do it properly in escaping from the marriage.
The old man breathed in and out hard for a few times, and then he barely suppressed the anger in his heart, and then asked He Huaichun calmly and calmly on the surface.
"Do you really want to practice swordsmanship?"
"I want to, I can't even dream of it!"
He Huaichun said it without any hesitation, but his father maintained his calmness and said it calmly.
"Don't say that I, as a father, don't give you a chance. Since you have been engaged to the girl from the Zhou family, she is considered half of your daughter-in-law. Now that she has moved to the house, as long as she agrees, I will
I won’t stop you anymore.”
He Huaichun still wanted to say a few words of defense, but when he saw his father's increasingly gloomy face, he didn't dare to speak, so he had no choice but to nod in agreement before quietly retreating out.
Seeing this scene, Jiang Ergou didn't want to stay here any longer, so he said goodbye to the old man and hurriedly chased him out.
After they both ran out, the housekeeper slowly walked in.
"That guy just said that he is sure that Huaichun can break through to the first level within five years. Is this credible?"
The butler lowered his head and laughed.
"Master, you can rest assured about this. I have already asked the young master. The master that boy introduced to him is the swordsman named Yang Dongqing, and the boy himself is also a first-class swordsman."
"Yang Dongqing?"
The old man was not interested in Jiang Ergou's strength. He just wanted to know who Yang Dongqing was.
Looking at his master's puzzled expression, the housekeeper continued with a smile.
"Master, you may not know who Yang Dongqing is, but let me tell you this, if it weren't for the fact that I am too old and have poor qualifications and know that it is impossible, I might have followed him to become a disciple. Then Yang Dongqing would have become extremely famous.
Early on, when he first became famous in the world, he was already a first-class master. Now, I am afraid no one knows his level. If the young master can get his training, his future achievements will definitely be more than just ordinary first-class masters!"
