"Dear passengers, please note that you have arrived at the destination of this flight, please check your luggage..."
Listening to the sweet voice of the flight attendant, Zhang Chuyi and Xu Si pulled their suitcases and left the plane.
It’s mid-August in Hangzhou. Although it’s the end of summer, it’s still very hot.
It used to be said that Chongqing, Chang, Han, and Ning were the four major furnaces of China. However, in recent years, the temperature in Hangzhou has also been catching up. In summer, the heat makes people panic.
This time, only Zhang Chuyi and Xu Si came to the Lu family for the banquet.
Mr. Xu has just recovered. Although his physical condition is getting better every day, he still cannot live without people, so Xu San and Sister Baoer stay at home to help take care of him.
The Lu family has two residences, one is a 1,000-square-meter duplex in the urban area, and the other is the ancestral home in the suburbs.
Although Dabieye is large, if you want to entertain guests from all over, you still have to stay at the ancestral home in the suburbs. Not only are there houses there, but also the mountains, forests and farmland for dozens of miles around belong to the Lu family, which is enough to build several Country Gardens.
After leaving the airport, the two took a taxi for half an hour and finally arrived at the Lu family's ancestral home.
As soon as I got off the car, I saw firecracker debris on the ground at the entrance of the village. There were two big red noticeboards on both sides of the road. Each of the signs had a line of golden characters written on them: Blessings are like the long-flowing sea water in the east, and the longevity is as long as the ever-old pines in the southern mountains.
Xu Si had been here before, so he didn't need to lead the way. He led Zhang Chuyi straight to the Lu family mansion.
Although the birthday banquet will not be held until tomorrow, many guests have already arrived today, and the village is bustling with people.
As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the Lu family mansion, Zhang Chuyi bumped into Lu Lin and Lu Linglong.
The elder brother was sitting at the table, recording the birthday gifts given by the guests, and at the same time passing out some cigarettes, candies, etc., just like the young master of the Lu family.
Lu Linglong was playing poker with a few friends nearby, and when she lost, her face was marked with a marker.
Lu Linglong had bad luck at cards. When Zhang Chuyi saw her, she had turned into a little cat and almost didn't recognize her at first sight.
"Xu Si of the Everywhere Company." Xu Si took out a two-foot-tall gift box from the suitcase and said with a smile: "A pair of pure gold longevity peaches!"
Originally, Xu Si wanted to buy a larger one so that it would be more dignified when giving gifts.
Unfortunately, the company's funds were tight and they only gave me so little money, so I bought a small Jinshou Tao.
Upon hearing that it was someone who knew everything, everyone in the yard immediately looked over.
The company has always been unpopular in the alien world. After all, no one in the world likes to have an official-backed regulatory agency weighing on their head all the time.
But the relationship between Shi Lao and the company is still quite good. If there is anything the company has to do, Shi Lao will respond immediately.
But this time everyone's attention was not on Xu Si, but on Zhang Chuyi next to him.
"Qi Ti Yuanliu has become very famous these days." A middle-aged man laughed sinisterly.
Although I don’t know if this person wanted to stir up trouble, he didn’t provoke him.
Because when Lu Linglong saw Zhang Chuyi coming, she threw a lot of cards in her hand and ran over in a bounding motion: "It's really Zhang Chuyi!"
"This is my sister, Lu Linglong." Lu Lin introduced from the side.
"So you are the eldest lady of the Lu family. I have admired you for a long time." Zhang Chuyi suppressed a smile and greeted her.
"Do you know me?" Lu Linglong's face was full of surprise, and her face was covered with patterns, giving her an indescribable sense of joy.
"I've seen it a few times on Yibo."
"Haha, I can make the descendants of the Qi Ti lineage notice me. Hua'er, let me just say that I am famous." Lu Linglong turned to look at her friend, her tone full of pride.
"That's right!" Lu Linglong just put her hands on her hips and suddenly seemed to remember something, "My grandpa said that if you come, he will take you to the inner house. Master Tian and Master Tian are waiting for you there."
Zhang Chuyi's eyes lit up: "Then please, Miss Lu, please lead the way."
"Don't call me miss, just call me Linglong!" Lu Linglong said, grabbed Zhang Chuyi's arm and walked towards the inner house.
"Master, Master! Look who I brought to you!"
Before Lu Linglong arrived, the sound had already penetrated the wall.
Three old men were sitting on the imperial chair in the courtyard chatting. As soon as they turned around, they saw Zhang Chuyi being dragged in by Lu Linglong.
"Every girl is so busy." Lu Jin said this, but her smiling expression did not mean to reprimand her at all.
"Master, Master Tian, you guys chat, I'm going to wash my face first!" As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Linglong ran away like a gust of wind.
The courtyard suddenly fell into silence.
After a few seconds, Zhang Chuyi knelt down with a plop in front of the old Heavenly Master, hit his forehead hard on the stone floor, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Master, Chu Yi finally sees you!"
Zhang Zhiwei was caught off guard by the remarriage of his father and mother. He quickly stood up and helped Zhang Chuyi up, and comforted him: "My child, you have been really miserable these years."
"It's not hard to see the two masters." Zhang Chuyi responded with a smile.
The Heavenly Master couldn't help but sigh: "Oh, your grandfather is too stubborn. If he could have gone back to the mountain, he wouldn't have let himself and his descendants suffer for so many years."
With that said, Master Tian pushed his junior brother Tian Jinzhong in front of Zhang Chuyi: "This is your Master Tian. Back then on Longhu Mountain, he had the best relationship with your grandfather."
"I've met Master Tian!" Zhang Chuyi glanced at the old man's empty sleeves and trouser legs, feeling moved and admired in his heart, and then kowtowed heavily to the ground.
Tian Jinzhong looked at Zhang Chuyi's appearance carefully, and then smiled and said: "He is really handsome. He looks nothing like your grandfather when he was young."
"It's so touching." Lu Jin was so moved by the scene of the grandfather and grandson recognizing each other that he wiped away tears, "But you, grandfather and grandson, recognize each other, can you please stop tormenting my old house? The Taihu stone slabs on the ground are more I am old enough to be considered a cultural relic."
Hearing this, Zhang Chuyi looked down and found that he had made two large holes in the stone slab on the ground.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Lu, I used too much force and couldn't control my strength." Zhang Chuyi scratched his head and his face suddenly turned red like a monkey's butt.
"Come on, Lao Lu, you are wiping your tears here because you feel sorry for the big stone slab in your house, right?" The old master smiled at his friend, "In the worst case, I will take out the Dahongpao that I have treasured for many years to make amends to you."
Lu Jin curled his lips: "How dare you say that every time you come to my place, you can't take a few pounds of Yuqian Longjing with you when you leave?"
"You old guy, you still remember this little thing so clearly, right?"
Several old men were quarreling with each other in the courtyard, and Zhang Chuyi stood quietly beside him, smiling and listening.
Not long after, the hearty laughter of the old men could be heard in the courtyard.
