The years when I was an old man

Followed the deer into the manor, walked through the corridor, and came to the back garden.

The spacious back garden has already been arranged at this time.

Next to the windproof glass room, there are several rows of seats, which are specially prepared for guests.

In the open space directly opposite, three braziers were placed.

Further forward, there is a huge gong and drum tied with red silk.

Next to the gongs and drums, there is a red wooden frame, and on top of the wooden frame is a golden copper basin.

At this time, Zheng Ruhuan was standing aside, talking with some friends.

Seeing us arriving, he immediately walked over, exchanged a few words of pleasantries, and then said in a low voice:

"On the sixth day, no matter what happens in a while, no matter how bad it is for me, you don't want to participate..."

Obviously, Zheng Ruhuan already knew something.I immediately asked:

"why?"

Zheng Ruhuan looked solemn, and said slowly:

"Since it's a golden basin to wash your hands, you have to make a break with the past. All karma will be carried by me alone. When I smooth these things out, you can take over smoothly..."

Zheng Ruhuan has considerations for me, he doesn't want me to bear his previous grievances after taking over.But how can I just watch others make things difficult for him?

While speaking, I heard the governor shouting from the porch:

"Master Elder Brother is here!"

Zheng Ruhuan listened, and immediately said:

"On the sixth day of the new year, you can't offend the elder brother in Bashu. Although there will be a gap with the elder brother now, you must find an opportunity to mend it. Otherwise, it will be difficult for you to gain a foothold in Bashu..."

I do agree with that.After all, Gelaohui has a history of hundreds of years in Bashu.

Brothers in the association spread all over the province.

Following Zheng Ruhuan to the door, he saw the uncle Huo Yuhan walking in from the outside with the second master and Zhai Huaiyi.

As soon as they met, everyone clasped their fists together and saluted.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Huo Yuhan said to Zheng Ruhuan:

"There is a long way to go, Huo Yuhan, on behalf of the brothers from the Gelaohui, congratulates Boss Zheng on washing his hands in the gold basin, and returning to the fields!"

Zheng Ruhuan hurriedly returned the courtesy, and the two exchanged a few words.

As he was speaking, the governor shouted again:

"The Sui Sect Master of the Orchid Sect has arrived!"

Looking back, I saw Sui Jiangwan, dressed in white, leading Su Yuzhu, walking in from the porch.

Zheng Ruhuan stepped forward and greeted her.

But Sui Jiangwan turned her head and met Huo Yuhan's eyes, and the two of them were stunned.

"Master Huo, long time no see!"

The corners of Sui Jiangwan's mouth raised, revealing an imperceptible sneer.

Huo Yuhan's expression suddenly became stern, showing a look of disdain, and said:

"It's best not to see!"

As soon as the words fell, Huo Yuhan walked directly towards the guest seats.

It could be felt that Huo Yuhan hated Sui Jiangwan extremely.

And Sui Jiangwan looked at Huo Yuhan's back coldly, and after a while, she said to me:

"You know him, don't you?"

I nodded.

"Do you know who he is?"

"Master Elder Brother!"

"Master? Heh, what kind of master is he? Let me tell you, Melo's death has something to do with him!"

I frowned and couldn't help asking:

"what relationship?"

"Have you forgotten? What is the name of the person I asked you to find?"

"Thousand-handed Jade Fox Huo Yutong!"

"That's his own sister. It's just that I don't know if the two are still in contact..."

I'm a little puzzled, why don't my brothers and sisters keep in touch?

And Sui Jiangwan didn't explain, and went directly to the guest seat.

There are more and more distinguished guests coming and going, and it seems that it is time to wash their hands in the golden basin.

At this time, Zheng Ruhuan watched talking and laughing with the guests, but I could always feel the hidden worry behind his smile.

There are more and more guests, some of whom I am familiar with.People like Qi Lan and Qu Fengmei.

I was talking with Qi Lan when I heard the governor shout again:

"Yun Dian master, Qilu gambling king Li Jianlu is here!"

Zheng Ruhuan walked to me from the side, and then went to the porch to receive a few people.

Liu Xiaoshou and Li Jianlu walked in, followed by several professional bodyguards.

When Zheng Ruhuan told me, Liu Xiaoshou was still smiling.

Putting his left hand on the disabled right hand, he made a quack salute to Zheng Ruhuan and me, and said:

"I wish Boss Zheng a golden basin to wash his hands and enjoy his old age in peace!"

After a few polite words, Li Jianlu looked at me and smiled sinisterly.

"On the sixth day of the lunar new year, there is still an account between us, and it has not been settled!"

He was referring to Mr. Wu's bad business.I replied to him indifferently:

"welcome any time!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Jianlu snorted, and sat down with Liu Xiaoshou.

The governor came over and said to Zheng Ruhuan:

"Master Zheng, the auspicious time is coming, shall we start?"

Seeing that Zheng Ruhuan breathed a sigh of relief and looked at all the guests, he said slowly:

"Okay! Let's start!"

The governor walked slowly to the front of the stage, picked up the gong and hammer, and hit the gong and drum heavily.

With a sound of "铛", the huge garden immediately fell silent.

The governor shouted loudly:

"Come on!"

As soon as the voice fell, two teams of young men in black bunts ran over in neat steps and stood on both sides of the corridor.

Zheng Ruhuan also changed into a black Tang suit, and stood aside solemnly.
