Chapter 71
It is probably a problem common to so-called aristocratic families. On the first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year, the old and young men of the family have to go back to the ancestral house to dine with the two old men and old ladies whenever they have time.No matter how much they fight against each other, for the sake of future benefits, they have to pretend to be disgusted with each other in front of the old man who doesn't like to watch brothers fight each other.
When Joshua held Draco's hand and went in, he was hit by the heat first. He grabbed the scarf and untied it from Draco's neck with his head bowed. Then he turned his head and saw standing at a glance. The third cousin Cen Kui, who was near the door, looked at the second cousin Cen Kai with a flattering expression, holding something in his hand - it looked like some kind of bird's feather, and he was smiling all over his face. talking.
Cen Yan glanced at the so-called green bird's feathers calmly, and was thinking about something to eat when he left the tasteless party and went home to eat, when he saw Joshua and his party come in, his cold face immediately turned into a slap in the face. With a smile, "I'm back."
"Second cousin." Joshua nodded, "Third cousin."
Seeing Cen Kai's sudden change of face, Cen Zhi vomited blood in his heart, and nodded falsely, "Long time no see, little cousin. It's good to be back safely. Grandma has been talking about you a lot lately - she said that it's too chaotic abroad recently, what? Demons and ghosts are gathering together in New York. I also advised grandma, you have the heir of the Malfoy family by your side, so it is so easy for accidents."
He said that his cousin was like a dodder flower that can only depend on others to live, Cen Zi squinted his eyes, and soft nails asked one after another, "We are all happy for you when we heard the news that you are coming back. It's just," he asked pretending to be puzzled, "are you already? Doesn't Peverly's house hold a birthday party for you? Hey, we still don't understand the etiquette of this foreigner. After all, in our house, we pay attention to Stand at twenty, and perform the ceremony of the weak crown."
"The law stipulates that you have come of age." Cen Xiaoche couldn't see that this brother was like his mother, talking about it every day like a bad-mouthed mother-in-law, pointing fingers at others, and going all out to please someone with a bit of status. Flattery.The hot-tempered young lady frowned immediately, and said unceremoniously, "Do you still have to retake elementary school? My cousin will officially inherit Peverly next time. If he doesn't come to visit his grandparents now, will he still have time in the future?" ? Think you are the same as you, surrounded by this three-acre land all day long?"
Cen Zi choked, frowned and said, "Xiao Che, you..."
"Okay." Cen Liu said with a smile, "Xiao Che is your sister after all, you can let her have a little bit, little boy. Besides, your grandma is still waiting." She looked at the ulterior motive of Cen Xiao——for no reason The mention of coming of age is not for the little inheritance of Joshua's father.
The Cen family has a large family business, but not all of the family business belongs to them, and there are so many branches that are members of these family businesses.
Only Cen Rou, who was not like the Cen family since she was a child, stared at such a little bit of oil and water every day, and even wanted to grab other people's jobs.
Cen Liu thought about it, and walked in with Joshua.
Considering the old man's psychological endurance, Draco thoughtfully let go of Joshua's hand, but unexpectedly, he was held even tighter by the other party.
Joshua looked at him sideways, plucked the soft flesh in his palm with his fingertips, and smiled at him happily—don't worry, I'm here.He opened his mouth, straightened his back and pulled Draco into the inner hall.
The eyes of the old lady of the Cen family are not very good. She squinted her eyes and looked roughly at the outline of the door. She vaguely saw a figure who was similar to her youngest son coming in. She suddenly felt compassionate, and she put aside talking to herself. The youngest daughter raised her hand to beckon, and shouted with a smile on her face, "The boy is back? Come to grandma."
Joshua pulled Draco forward with a smile, then took a step back and pushed his lover's sharp, ice-cold face into grandma's hand, stood aside, looked at Draco's froze expression and laughed. , "Grandma, I'll bring Draco to see you."
"Little dragon cub is here too." The old lady pinched Draco's cheek with a smile, and said lovingly, "You're too thin, your bones will be touched by grandma, you should eat more tonight."
Draco, who was completely unaccustomed to such a warm greeting, nodded stiffly, "Okay, grandma." He broke away from those palms with a smile, stood up straight, and looked back at his lover pretending to be annoyed. Shaking his palm.
"You really have Chinese characteristics in this look." Joshua leaned closer to his ear and whispered, "Malfoy, full of rustic taste, I have to ask my aunt to prepare a cotton-padded jacket for you, poof..."
Joshua laughed out loud as he thought about it, and Draco pinched his earlobe helplessly and dotingly.
"Time flies by so fast." Third Aunt Cen Rou looked at them with a smile, her half-drooped eyelids covered the flash of disgust in her eyes, she pretended to be concerned and said, "The wedding date is fixed. ?"
Joshua looked back at Cen Liu pretending to be helpless.
"How old is it?" Cen Liu stepped forward and said, "Besides, Draco is only an adult, and he has to inherit the Malfoy family in the future." She looked at Draco with a decent smile lovingly, and her tone couldn't hide her pride, "Our little dragon is really smart and handsome, and he has a sense of responsibility." She turned her head and said with a smile, "It's still early, didn't the experts say that the child's mind is not yet mature, and getting married too early is very likely to make the family Become a chicken and a dog."
"Second Aunt, you still believe what the experts say." Cen Tiao, who was in the real family, laughed loudly.
Cen Rou glared at him, and her son, whose brain was not as big as a palm, closed his mouth complacently.
"Second Sister is right." Cen Rou took a deep breath and nodded in agreement, "But let me tell you, as long as your horoscope is right, you can get married at any time." She looked at Joshua again, with a worried look and wished she could marry immediately. Pulling his palm, Mo Yang ordered, "Xiaozhen, Auntie is thinking of you, this important matter of marriage can't be too arbitrary."
Cen Zhen, that is, Joshua has not yet reacted.It's been a long time since someone called this Chinese name, and he still has some doubts about who this Xiaozhen is.
Draco patted his waist lightly, and Joshua immediately smiled, pretending to have thought about it seriously, and said slowly, "What my aunt said makes sense."
"That's right!" Cen Rou slapped the table happily, and finally brought out her long-planned purpose, "Little nephew, my aunt will introduce someone to you today." She stood up and walked to a grand teacher's chair beside her, pointing Looking at the old man with white beard and hair, eagle eyes, and rosy nose, he was not a good person at first glance, and said, "This master is quite a character..."
"Auntie." Cen Kui interrupted her with a smirk, first glanced at the old man sitting on top of him who seemed to be asleep, and the old lady who was watching them with a smile, then squinted and said, "Aren't you Forgot, our Cen family can also count the horoscope?" He said slowly, "As soon as the news comes from the big cousin, my dad will count them both. And grandpa," he motioned, and he was short of performing the snoring act on the spot The old man, "But the iron mouth directly broke this marriage."
Cen Rou's smile froze instantly.
Cen Kui, who was helping his cousin to speak, nodded slightly towards Draco - half a month ago, his father received a shipment from England.The cargo was strange, it was obviously no more than the size of a palm but it seemed to weigh a thousand catties.Cen Lin, the next head of the Cen family, immediately realized that the contents inside were unusual, so he dispersed everyone except his son, who opened the package together.
It is a few pieces of phoenix tail feathers, carrying powerful energy.
Had Joshua been there, he would have recognized Fox's feather.
Regardless of the fact that the Cen family has a great career, but after so many years, with the disappearance of the legendary beasts and hermitages, those dragon livers and phoenix gallbladders would have been exhausted long ago.
Cen Kui just needed to use phoenix feathers to make his own weapons, and Draco's express delivery was simply... too timely.
For Joshua to get what he deserved, Draco did put a lot of effort into finding helpers for him.
Their father and son are not stupid, they know that all this is because of this junior.Because Draco liked his little cousins, he hoped to use this gift in exchange for a little help from them.
But even if Draco doesn't do these things, for the sake of his little cousin who was obedient and sensible since he was a child and not a white-eyed wolf, the part of the inheritance left by his father that he can want, the next generation of the Cen family The first head of the family will also guarantee it to him, which should have been his.
Back then, the old man was just worried that his grandson would be envied and designed by others if he was alone abroad and had too much money, so he kept suppressing him.This is not something that Cen Rou can pay attention to. If rumors spread, people who don't know will think that there are hundreds of people in their Cen family bullying a child who lost his father!
What a shame!
Everyone wants to save face, not to mention that there is a real ancestor squatting on everyone's head now.If the ancestor knew that the child he liked, his son, was bullied, Tieshashan could be turned upside down with a flip of his hand!
Of course, Joshua didn't know about the 'deal' between Cen Kui and Draco, but if he knew the twists and turns in his cousin's heart, he might say "I can do it too." '——Isn't it just turning the mountain upside down? If he behaves recklessly, he can artificially cause a thousand-year earthquake.
"Okay." The old lady squinted her eyes, watched her son and daughter wrangling in front of her with a smile, and said as if she was watching a big show, "Let's serve dinner." She turned her narrowed eyes to the side and said kindly, "Please move the guests away." Step. Our Cen family is having dinner, and there may be a lot of trouble if the guests appear here." She looked at her daughter, and said in a tone that could not refuse, "Xiao Rou, send the guests back."
Cen Rou was still about to say something, but a flash of light suddenly erupted from her obviously cloudy eyes, which startled her.Cen Rou, with her heart racing, clutched her chest, and didn't realize it for a long time. She said hello, and led the unhappy old man out in a dejected manner.
When Joshua held Draco's hand and went in, he was hit by the heat first. He grabbed the scarf and untied it from Draco's neck with his head bowed.
