The Peerless Concubine of the King's Favorite

Chapter 214 Prelude to Homecoming, Promise to Go North (2)
The servant pushed the broken silver away, and replied respectfully without looking sideways: "Thank you, third master, this is a small matter, and I can't ask for your reward. I don't know if the third master will go back with the young one, or... ..."

There was a hint of admiration in Chu Zhenghe's eyes. The strengths and weaknesses of a family can be seen a lot from the style of the servants.

Obviously, the servants of the second brother's family are very good.

Chu Zhenghe hesitated for a while, and said to the servant: "You go back first, I will visit the second brother in an hour." He was thinking in his heart, why should he prepare some gifts for his niece who has never met, after all, she is the future princess.

Moreover, that second sister-in-law... No matter what the family is, she has been married to her second brother for more than ten years now, so she is a veritable second sister-in-law no matter what, so how can she be disrespectful?

After the servant got the order, he bowed his hands and turned to leave.

After he left, Chu Zhenghe took the two servants to the largest jewelry shop in Anning City.

The servant returned to the Chu residence, and reported Chu Zhenghe's words back to Chu Zhengyang.

Chu Zhengyang didn't say anything, but ordered his servants to check if the meals were ready.

Ordinarily, when a man receives guests, no matter who he is receiving, the female relatives of the family are not allowed to attend.However, in the Chu family, it seems that this unwritten rule has long been unknowingly broken.Therefore, today, the three members of the Chu family entertained Chu Zhenghe together, of course it was just a family meal.

Chu Zhenghe was also a person who kept his promises. He appeared at the door of Chu's residence just after the hour. However, the hands of the three of them were empty.

The servant welcomed the three of them into the house, and the two servants were naturally taken to the side room to drink tea and wait. Only Chu Zhenghe entered the main hall to meet Chu Zhengyang.

The man in the long shirt outside the door walked in quickly, Chu Zhengyang put down the teacup in his hand, and got up to greet him. "The third brother is here."

"Second brother, forgive me, younger brother is late." Chu Zhenghe bowed his hands to Chu Zhengyang with a smile on his face.

"What is there to blame? It's just a family meal. Third brother, sit down quickly." Chu Zhengyang welcomed Chu Zhenghe to the chair and sat down.

The maid who was in charge of serving immediately put down the hot tea and refreshments, then bowed and left, leaving the main hall to the two of them.

Chu Zhenghe's face was full of embarrassment, and he spread his hands: "I wanted to prepare some gifts for my sister-in-law and niece, but I didn't want to. The most famous shops in Anning City are all owned by the second brother's shop. Go to other shops After looking at it, I felt that those things had become unsightly, so I came here empty-handed, I am really ashamed."

These words, Chu Zhenghe spoke the truth, and this experience also made him clearly understand Chu Zhengyang's current status in Anning's business world.

"We're all from our own family, so you don't have to be so polite. Your sister-in-law and niece don't have to worry about food and drink, and they don't lack anything." When Chu Zhengyang said these words, his waist couldn't help but straighten up.

Feeling a little elated.Back then, he broke away from the family and left penniless.His father, standing behind him, said angrily that if he left Chu's house in Hexi, he would have nothing to do and could only go to the street to beg.

Now, to create such a family business, not to mention how rich it is, but at least it is not as miserable as the old man said, so to a certain extent, Chu Zhengyang plans to go back, and he also has a feeling of returning home.

Chu Zhenghe smiled slightly, and after drooping his eyes for a moment, he asked, "Second brother, have you thought about it?" Although he already had a guess in his heart, he had to say it to be sure.

Chu Zhengyang nodded slightly, raised his hand and patted his knee: "It's been more than ten years, and it's time to go back."

"If that's the case, the patriarch's uncle will definitely be happy." Chu Zhenghe said happily.In any case, this task entrusted by the Patriarch was finally completed.

Chu Zhengyang waved his hands meaninglessly and said with a smile: "I won't talk about that. I will do my best to be filial when I go back this time. If anyone thinks our family is an eyesore, just come back."

"What is Second Brother talking about?" Chu Zhenghe said seriously: "Second Brother was summoned back by uncle himself, who would dare to gossip? Second Brother, just relax."

Chu Zhengyang smiled slightly, but did not answer.It's just that the faint smile on the corner of his lips made Chu Zhenghe feel a little embarrassed.

The Chu family in Hexi, a prominent family, is a clan that has occupied Hexi for a hundred years.Such a family naturally has an inexplicable eye above the top.

Back then, the matter of Chu Zhengyang caused a lot of rumors in Hexi, causing the Chu family's reputation to be damaged. I don't know how many people secretly wished him to die outside.

Now when I go back, how can I be calm and happy?
Chu Zhengyang understood this point, and so did Chu Zhenghe.But, even if he knew it in his heart, he wouldn't say it out of his mouth.

Chu Zhenghe smiled bitterly helplessly in his heart, since when his brothers spoke, they would have to cover up their words and pretend to be false.

"By the way, Zhenghe has been in Anning for many days, and he hasn't met his sister-in-law or niece yet. I don't know my second brother..." Chu Zhenghe shifted the topic to another party.

In his heart, he was very curious about the niece who was about to become Princess Xiaoyao.

Curious about what kind of person it is that could make the playboy Xiaoyao Wang marry her.

In the past few days, he had heard some rumors about Chu Qing in Anning City, and he became more and more curious about this remarkable woman in his heart.

"Third brother, don't worry. I'll see you later when we have dinner." Chu Zhengyang said with a smile.

In this case, Chu Zhenghe didn't want to ask too many questions, so he could only drink tea in silence.

I haven't seen each other for more than ten years. It is said that the two brothers should have a lot to say.For example, Chu Zhengyang asked about the situation of his father, and Chu Zhenghe asked about Chu Zhengyang's prosperity.

However, there seemed to be a tacit understanding, and neither of them asked each other.After exchanging simple greetings, they each drank tea, as if they were waiting for the start of the family feast.

The cup of tea was bottomed out, and the servant girl came in to refill tea at the right time, which broke the silence.

"When does Second Brother plan to leave?" This question is what Chu Zhenghe is most concerned about right now.

Chu Zhengyang put down his teacup, and after some calculations in his mind, he replied: "In the past few days, I still need to deal with some business matters. If everything goes well, I can leave in five days."

After getting the exact date, Chu Zhenghe felt relieved: "Well, I'll stay for five more days." After finishing speaking, he laughed as if mocking himself: "To be honest, I've been away from home for a long time this time, and I still really miss it." home."

He was in a hurry to go back and participate in the mining of Nadan Cave.

Unexpectedly, when Chu Zhenghe returned to Chu's house in Hexi, he knew that the mining had been carried out, but the profit was divided into four or six, and most of the profit had entered the third prince's account, and he was almost so angry that he couldn't get sick.

While chatting, a servant came in to report that the meal was ready, Madam invited the master and the third master to have dinner.
