Chapter 545: Zhang's Osmanthus Tree
On the next day, Zhang Tie, Zhang Yang and their dad went to visit grandpa . They previously planned to do that on the 3rd day since Zhang Tie returned home; however, Zhang Tie was suddenly called away by Clansmen Pavilion . Therefore, they could only visit him .
As the old saying went, if one was poor, even if he was in the boisterous city, he would be ignored; however, if one was rich, even if he was in the deep mountain, he would still have frequent visits from distant relatives . Similarly, as Jinwu Company gradually developed, the relationship between Zhang Tie's family and his uncles and aunts became much better .
With a prosperous domestic undertaking and two successful sons, Zhang Tie's parents became less concerned . As a result, they got along well with Zhang Tie's uncles and aunts .
During the couple of years when Zhang Tie disappeared, the grandpa always asked about Zhang Tie and had dispatched people to Norman Empire to search Zhang Tie . Therefore, Zhang Tie had to pay a visit to him .
When they arrived at the old mansion of Zhang family, although there were fewer people compared to the last time, Zhang Tie felt a much better atmosphere in the old mansion . Not only those Zhang family members, even those servants smiled more sincerely towards Zhang Ping, Zhang Yang and Zhang Tie .
Even grandpa's first wife treated Zhang Tie as her direct grandson as she pulled Zhang Tie's hands and cared about him casually . She even started to concern about Zhang Tie's marriage .
It was not proper to describe it with the word 'utilitarianism' . Because even when Zhang Tie's family returned to Huaiyuan Prefecture with an extremely poor look several years ago, these family members in the old mansion also took care of them a lot; even though someone didn't like them, they didn't show it on their face at least .
However, as they were in the real society, if they could cooperate with each other to maintain the honor of this big family, they would share a greater energy . At the critical moment, if they could have more human relationships to use, they could always gain more respect and smiles from outsiders . Facing such an overall benefit, what happened was not important . When in emergencies, Zhang Tie's family could only rely on the family members of Zhang Tie's uncles and aunts . After all, they had ties of kinship . Some things were decisive .
Zhang Tie's elder brother managed Jinwu Corporation with the help of Zhang Tie's two uncles' family members . After these years, Zhang Yang genuinely felt that it was much easier with the help of family members .
Huaiyuan Palace was really too big for Zhang Tie, which contained complex human relationships . Zhang Tie's family only had a feeling on the relatives on the grandpa's side .
Zhang Tie's family came here in the daytime without any notice . Therefore, they just saw grandpa and his wives in the old mansion .
After a meal in the old mansion, grandpa led them in a tranquil pavilion in the backyard garden and chatted with them .
Being covered with osmanthus, this pavilion was a good place for taking rest and chatting .
Zhang Tie's dad then talked with grandpa that his family members were going to migrate to the Eastern Continent in the recent couple of months . This was also one of their targets here today . As it was a major event, they had to notice grandpa's side in advance .
After hearing Zhang Ping's words, grandpa slightly closed his eyes for awhile before opening his eyes, "It's fine . After all, Waii Sub-Continent is a remote place . It could not match the prosperity and stability of the Eastern Continent . We need to find another way to survive ourselves . Last year, I told Zesheng to pave a way for our family in the Eastern Continent with some juniors . When you arrive at the Eastern Continent, you can contact Zesheng first . He will give you a hand . I will give you Zesheng's address after awhile . Zesheng is now in Yingzhou Province, one of the 72 major provinces in Taixia . Many years ago, Huaiyuan Palace had been rooted in Yingzhou Province . We have a city there called Huaiyuan City . All the family members could seek for shelter in Huaiyuan City . "
Zesheng was one of grandpa's sons and a brother of Zhang Tie's dad, who had different mothers . Therefore, he was Zhang Tie's uncle . They had met each other last time, although not being very impressive . After being told about Huaiyuan Palace's undertaking in Yingzhou Province of Eastern Continent, Zhang Tie was shocked as he had not imagined that Huaiyuan Palace could have a private city in Eastern Continent .
Zhang Yang was also very surprised as he put it straightforwardly, "Argh, I've not imagined that Huaiyuan Palace could have a city in the Eastern Continent . "
"Huaiyuan Palace originated from Zhang Clan in Taixia Country . It's nothing strange for it to have a city in Eastern Continent . In case of your fickleness, we don't reveal it to the outside . Therefore, average people don't know about that . Not only Huaiyuan Palace, even the other influential clans in Jinyun Country had their own territory in Eastern Continent . Eastern Continent is the root of all the big clans and the sacred land of Chinese . Everything here is just twigs and leaves which takes in sunshine and rain dew . When the holy war breaks out, the autumn wind blows, the fallen leaves would finally come back to its root . " Grandpa signed with full moods while he made a pun .
After hearing about that fallen leaves would finally come back to its root, Zhang Ping and his sons became confused . Grandpa watched Zhang Tie and smiled, "Life or death, it depends . If I die, my ash would also be carried back to the Eastern Continent and buried there . As a Chinese, I have to go back for my root . I've been managing shipyards for my whole life and busy working for business every day . However, I have no achievement in cultivation . Therefore, I could only live for about 100 years . I'm 70 years old now . There are 2 or 3 decades left . As you and your cousins have entered the Hidden Dragon Palace and would have a great achievement in the future and Zhang family's undertaking develops well, our family gradually looks like a big clan . We might have a shrine later on . Therefore, I will have no regrets anymore . "
After hearing grandpa's words, Zhang Tie became bashful at once . He thought that grandpa would know about this sooner or later . Therefore, he'd better tell him now, "Hmm . . . I am not a member of Hidden Dragon Palace anymore since yesterday . "
Grandpa asked Zhang Tie while slightly changing his face, "What's wrong?"
Zhang Tie briefed the reason . Additionally, he said that he had awakened another ancestral bloodline . However, he didn't tell grandpa about the concrete ability of this ancestral bloodline .
Actually, the Clan elders had considered well for Zhang Tie . Even though Zhang Tie wanted to stay in Waii Sub-Continent for some reason, the Clan elders suggested to dispatch a powerhouse to protect him . When Zhang Tie finished his thing on Waii Sub-Continent, that powerhouse would escort him back to the Eastern Continent . However, Zhang Tie finally refused this suggestion .
