As the day gradually turned bright, Zhang mansion gradually became boisterous.
Zhang Tie, Linda and the other wives didn't stay too long in bed; especially Linda and the other wives who were a bit shy. As it was Zhang Tie's first day back, if they got up too late, they would be laughed at by others. Therefore, they got up at the usual time. After washing up with Zhang Tie and having breakfast with Bai Suxian, they went to the residence of Zhang Tie's parents in the main mansion to greet them.
It was a rule that all major Hua clans followed. Linda and the other wives had been used to it.
"Do Shini and Shixia usually sleep until this time?" Zhang Tie asked Linda on the way to the main mansion. Zhang Tie's 5 kids were still in bed.
It was Zhang Tie's second time to see his five kids. It was the first time for the five kids to see Zhang Tie's real body yesterday. The five kids were all younger than 3 years old. Zhang Tie was like a stranger to them. On the first day, besides calling Zhang Tie papa, they didn't talk to him at all. After supper, they were basically played with by the babysitter and Zhang's family nursery for a short while before going to bed.
There were 3 boys and 2 girls. Linda and Fiona gave birth to two girls. Linda's daughter was called Zhang Shini; Fiona's daughter was called Zhang Shixia. Beverly, Aimei and Aixue each gave birth to a boy. The three boys were named Zhang Chengba, Zhang Chengxiao and Zhang Chengying. From then on, Zhang Tie had 8 kids in Taixia Country, 6 boys and 2 girls. Among the 8 kids, besides the 5 kids who were still in Zhang family, Zhang Chenglei, Zhang Chengting and Zhang Chengpei had already entered Heavens Fortune Sect.
"According to the doctor invited by our family, kids should sleep more in winter. Adapt to the seasons and accumulate vigor so as to grow better. They don't need to get up too early like adults!" Linda answered mildly.
"Spring, summer, autumn and winter are different. The vigor of everything in the universe is also different. Therefore, kids' living hours are indeed different. I also lived like this when I was young in the lord's mansion. It's also the subtle embodiment of the unity of nature and human among Hua people!" Bai Suxian opened her mouth.
Although Bai Suxian had just come to Zhang Mansion, at Zhang Tie's request, Bai Suxian had already called Linda, Beverly and Fiona sisters yesterday. They got along well with each other. At least, they didn't lose their temper in front of Zhang Tie. As Zhang Tie's wives and concubines had already had kids, of course, Bai Suxian didn't want to compete with Zhang Tie. Linda, Beverly and Fiona knew that Bai Suxian had a noble status and was Zhang Tie's helper. Therefore, they treated Bai Suxian more politely. In this way, they got along well with each other.
Among the elders of Huaiyuan Palace, Elder Muray had over 20 wives and concubines. All the knight elders had a lot of children. Zhang Tie had less than 10 wives and concubines. He was already "relatively cautious" on the relationship between men and women among knights. Of course, his wives and concubines were very satisfied with him.
After hearing Linda and Bai Suxian's words, Zhang Tie shook his head with a bitter smile. The greater the business was, the more detailed and meticulous the rules would be. When he was young, he didn't have so many rules; however, now, his kids even had a consultant to guide them on their living hours.
After coming to the main mansion, Zhang Yang's elder brother and Zhang Yang's three elder sisters-in-law Wang Huizhen, Lu Shiyun and Wang Huayin almost came over to greet him at the same time. Closely after that, Zhang Yang's parents took Zhang Haitian, Zhang Yang and their daughters-in-law to greet Zhang Haitian and his wife. As Zhang Haitian was the most senior, of course, he didn't greet his juniors. After greeting Zhang Haitian, Zhang family members sent Zhang Haitian and his relatives onto the airboat of Jinwu Business Group.
All the properties of the old man were in Embracing Tiger City. After merging the affiliated shipbuilding enterprises of Huaiyuan Palace, the shares of Jinwu Shipyard had been dominated by Jinwu Business Group and Zhang Tie and Zhang Yang. The two brothers had the absolute right to speak in the shipyard. However, the specific affairs of the shipyard were managed by Zhang Yang and Zhang Yang's eldest uncles and cousins. Therefore, this clan founded by Zhang Haitian followed the orders of Zhang Tie and Zhang Yang in Jinwu City and dared not disobey them at all.
Not until Jinwu Airboat left did Zhang Tie let out a sigh faintly as he turned around and asked Zhang Yang, "When did Zhang Haitian start to use crutches?"
After a few years, Zhang Tie found that Zhang Haitian had aged a lot all of a sudden. His spirit, qi and spirit were not as good as before. His back was a bit stooped as he started to use crutches as a support.
"Zhang Haitian started to use crutches two years ago!" Zhang Yang also let out a sigh, "When Zhang Haitian was young, he always focused on the affairs of the shipyard. He didn't spend too much time on cultivation. After reaching 80 years old, his health gradually deteriorated. Even the best medicament and alchemist's equipment couldn't help him; especially when you were wronged and left home a couple of years ago. I was told that Zhang Haitian didn't smile too much in the old mansion; instead, he sighed and groaned every day. He would ask someone about you every few days. Only after two years, he had aged a lot. After knowing that you came back yesterday, Zhang Haitian had not been so happy for a long time …"
After being silent for a second, Zhang Tie said, "Tell my uncles to send Zhang Haitian to a warmer place in the south for winter. Zhang Haitian doesn't feel well. Later on, he doesn't spend the winter in Youzhou Province. It's too cold here. It's a bit unbearable for the old man! Elder brother, pay attention to the islands in the south of Taixia Country. If there's any suitable one, just buy it. We will spend the winter in the south. "
After throwing a glance at Zhang Tie, Zhang Yang nodded.
When Zhang Tie and Zhang Tie returned to the main mansion from the square, the steward of the main mansion had reported that the knight of Heavens Fortune Sect who had been cultivating in the underground space of the main mansion had already finished his cultivation. He wanted to meet the second young master alone.
That knight of Heavens Fortune Sect had been cultivating in Zhang Tie's home for a few years. On the second day after Zhang Tie came back, that knight finally finished his cultivation.
Zhang Tie's parents and Zhang Yang were a bit surprised; however, Zhang Tie was not surprised.
Zhang Yang and the others were not shocked that the knight of Heavens Fortune Sect wanted to see Zhang Tie after finishing his secluded cultivation. Because from the beginning to the end, the relationship between Heavens Fortune Sect and Zhang family was established on Zhang Tie. Without the friendship between Zhang Tie and Heavens Fortune Sect, Heavens Fortune Sect would not dispatch a knight to Zhang Tie's home, neither would they take Zhang Tie's kids as their disciples.
In the parlor of the main mansion, Zhang Tie saw that knight of Heavens Fortune Sect.
This knight of Heavens Fortune Sect looked honest and honest with a dull look. In a cyan robe which had been washed a bit white and a pair of common cloth shoes, he looked like an old farmer who had been farming in the countryside for a long time. Who would believe that he was an earth knight when he casually walked on the street?
"Hermit, thanks for protecting Zhang family over these years!" At the sight of that knight of Heavens Fortune Sect, Zhang Tie cupped his hands towards the ground and bowed deeply towards this knight of Heavens Fortune Sect sincerely.
"You're welcome, Elder Mushen!" This knight of Heavens Fortune Sect replied with a smile which looked a bit simple and honest.
"May I know your name, hermit? What's your position in Heavens Fortune Sect?" Zhang Tie asked after taking a seat on the side of this knight of Heavens Fortune Sect.
Until now, Zhang family members only knew that this knight of Heavens Fortune Sect was surnamed Zhou, a black iron knight. Since this person came to Zhang family and met Zhang Tie's parents and family members, he didn't communicate with Zhang family members too much over these years. Both of them were clear about the "communication" between them in the morning. Therefore, they didn't need to say anything at this moment.
"I'm Zhou Hongbang, an independent cultivator of Simplicity Palace of Heavens Fortune Sect. I like tranquility. Additionally, I cultivate a secret method with sharp senses. A few years ago, Elder Mushen was wronged and escaped. Even Heavens Fortune Sect didn't believe that Elder Mushen would do such an outrageous thing. Therefore, the Elders Hall determined to dispatch a person to help Zhang family tide over this crisis. Therefore, I volunteered to do that!" This earth knight of Heavens Fortune Sect not only looked plain, but also talked in a plain way, which made people feel tranquil and comfortable when communicating with him.
"How could Heavens Fortune Sect trust and favor me so much?" Zhang Tie let out a deep sigh.
Zhou Hongbang turned solemn as he said, "Elder Mushen, you don't need to be modest. Elder Mushen's 3 sons have the best aptitudes in cultivation. Additionally, they've already joined Heavens Fortune Sect. They would definitely promote to knights in the future. As a model of human righteousness, how could Heavens Fortune Sect ignore such an event? Although Elder Mushen won the competition for the provincial governor of Youzhou Province, our elders and Martial Nephew Cangwu always praised Elder Mushen. Although Martial Nephew Cangwu got acquainted with Elder Mushen for a short time, he has already treated Elder Mushen as his best friend. In Heavens Fortune Sect, Martial Nephew Cangwu even guaranteed that Elder Mushen would never do such a horrible thing in Fuhai City. Additionally, it might be related to the conspiracy of demons and Heavens Reaching Church. Of course, Heavens Fortune Sect would not stand aside. Over these years, Heavens Fortune Sect has been looking for the real culprit of the tragedy in Fuhai City and wanted to prove Elder Mushen's innocence. However, we've not imagined that the real culprit had already jumped out and hid in Xuanyuan Hill!"
"It's easy to add flowers to a brocade; however, it's hard to provide timely help. When Zhang family was in trouble, Heavens Fortune Sect had always kept in mind your concern and care. Later on, if Heavens Fortune Sect needs my help, I, Zhang Tie, will go through fire and water for you!" Zhang Tie cupped his hands and said solemnly with a resolute and serious look. He was definitely not joking …
