Chapter 785 Brothers Visit the Hang Family
Chapter 785 Brothers Visit the Hang Family
While the elders were talking, the younger ones came over with their children.
Normally, during breakfast, unless there was something special going on, no one would go out of their way to come to the main courtyard to eat with the old lady. However, now was the time when the third wife had returned to Beijing, so it was quite lively to get together for breakfast.
Except for the three old dukes who came to the palace for the morning court, the rest of the family, big and small, were all there.
After a lively breakfast, everyone went their separate ways, some doing their work and some playing.
Chu Fang packed up and went to the camp outside the city to train his troops. Master Chu Sanye also wanted to go to the camp to see his men, so the uncle and nephew went together.
Chu Xun works in the Hanlin Academy. Judging from the time, it is time for him to go out to work.
Those who had work to do went away one by one, leaving those without official positions at home staring at each other.
Chu Lie and Chu Xuan simply took their two brothers with them and went out quietly to the west of the city to visit the Hang family.
"Hmm! Isn't this the house that my father bought from a businessman before?"
Chu Zhao took a look and felt that this place was somewhat familiar. After thinking about it carefully, he remembered it.
Chu Xuan answered before Chu Lie could, "Yes, it's this house. Second uncle gave it to them for the instant noodle recipe."
Chu Lie heard that he was not yet finished, so he added: "I was going to give it to them originally. They said it was for the instant noodle recipe, but I just wanted to give them enough reasons to accept this house."
"I heard from my fourth brother that my father went to Shangtang Village with a stack of deeds to shops and houses, but in the end, he only gave away this house."
"Oh? Why?"
"Perhaps this couple isn't the type to take advantage of small gains. Without a good excuse, giving the land deeds away like this might arouse their suspicion!"
Just as the brothers stopped and talked in front of the gate of the Hang family, the gate suddenly opened, and then they saw a familiar figure.
"Uncle Hong? Why are you here?"
The ones who spoke were Chu Zhao and Chu Chen.
Chu Zhao often went out for business and was not fully aware of the personnel arrangements for each of his businesses. He was quite surprised to suddenly see Uncle Hong.
He remembered that Uncle Hong was previously the steward of a farm in his family. He thought that after his father gave the house away, he wanted to arrange for a trustworthy person to be with the couple. That's why he arranged Uncle Hong to come here.
Chu Chen was surprised to see Hong Bo simply because he saw an old acquaintance whom he hadn't seen for a long time and met him in a place he didn't expect.
Chu Lie jokingly said, "Uncle Hong is now the steward here. If we want to get in, we have to curry favor with Uncle Hong!"
"Hehe! Sixth Young Master, you're joking." Hong Bo knew he was joking and didn't take it seriously. He turned to look at Chu Chen and nodded, saying, "It's been many years since we last met. The Young General seems to have become more composed."
Chu Chen also nodded in response: "Uncle Hong, are you feeling well?"
"I'm fine! Aside from the fact that my legs are a little inconvenient to walk, I'm still strong and healthy! Even if I go to the battlefield again, I can still chop off the enemy's heads."
"You are indeed still as sharp as ever!"
After a few people exchanged greetings in front of the door for a while, Uncle Hong finally made way and invited the brothers in.
"Gentlemen, please come in! It just so happens that the young master and his wife have not gone out today."
Uncle Hong had just welcomed his brothers to the small flower hall and sat them down when Hang Shuheng and his wife also received the notification and came over.
Seeing them coming, the brothers stood up to greet them.
"Brother Hang, sister-in-law, sister-in-law, let me introduce you."
Chu Xuan was the first to speak. After knowing Song Ning's special identity, he seemed a little unnatural when he addressed Song Ning.
"This is my third brother Chu Zhao, who is a biological brother of my second brother and Liu He. This is my eldest brother Chu Chen, the fifth child in the family."
