Chapter 14: Meeting Zhuge Jin
Zhuge Jun and others approached the large gate, and the servants inside saw that there were guests visiting, so they came out to greet them.
Zhao Hongshan stepped forward and saluted, saying: "Two brothers, please pass on the message that his third brother Zhuge Jun has come to visit." As he spoke, he handed over two gold beans.
It was said that San Lao Ye had come to visit, so the two of them didn't dare to be slow, and Jin Dou Zi also didn't dare to receive him. They hurriedly went in to announce his arrival.
After a moment, someone said, "Is that Xiaojun?" Along with the sound of hurried footsteps, a man in his thirties came out. He was handsome and had a slightly long face. Zhuge Jun looked quite like his father, and he recognized him at once.
Zhuge Jin hugged him tightly and choked with sobs: "It's Xiaojun, my brother!"
Zhuge Jun also cried out: "Big brother." and couldn't say anything more.
Zhuge Jing hugged him into the living room, only letting go of him to let him sit down. For more and faster chapters, please visit this site. At this time, a middle-aged woman walked out, followed by a young woman.
The middle-aged woman was their stepmother, Lady Song, around 40 years old, with a gentle and kind appearance. She had never given birth and took good care of herself, with fair and delicate skin. When she saw Zhuge Jun, she cried out: "Eleven years have passed, Jun, I thought you were dead."
Zhuge Jun knelt down and knocked his head, saying: "Greetings, Second Lady."
After standing up, Zhuge Jin introduced the young woman: "This is your elder sister. For more and faster chapters, please go to."
Madam Wang, wife of Zhuge Jin, 28 years old, has a beautiful appearance, but her expression gives people a feeling that is not too easy to get close to.
The two also exchanged greetings.
Several people chatted about family matters for more than half a day. Zhuge Jin asked, "Xiao Jun, what are your plans this time?"
"There's nothing major, I just miss my big brother. By the way, I brought some small gifts with me, not as a sign of respect." He said, waving his hand to gesture.
A sturdy house servant stood under the hall, carrying up a trunk.
His sister-in-law was never too enthusiastic about him. Since Zhuge Jin became an official, many of his relatives from his hometown would come to their house from time to time, which annoyed her greatly. She had heard Zhuge Jin mention that his younger brothers were farmers at home and naturally lived a relatively poor life, so Zhuge Jun probably came this time to ask for help again.
She saw Zhuge Jun send over a box, thinking it was some local specialty or something, and didn't even bother to look, waving her hand to signal the servant to take it.
A servant came forward to take the box, and as soon as he did, he felt it was heavy in his hands. Unprepared, he accidentally dropped the box to the ground. With a "clatter", out rolled a large quantity of glittering gold, amounting to several hundred taels.
The elder sister-in-law's heart suddenly became happy, thinking that her husband's brother was indeed generous.
Zhuge Jin looked at his younger brother in surprise, feeling a bit uneasy in his heart. He thought that since his second brother had followed Liu Bei, how could he have sent so much gold? What was the motive behind it? Suddenly, he opened his mouth and asked: "Xiao Jun, did your second brother ask you to send these?"
Zhuge Jun smiled and said, "Big brother, don't worry, second brother's salary is just enough for food. These gold coins are my earnings from doing business, I guarantee they're clean."
Zhuge Jin asked with concern: "What kind of business are you in that allows you to earn so much money?"
Zhuge Jun put down the teacup in his hand and said: "Big brother, what do you think of this tea?"
Elder sister-in-law interrupted and said: "This tea is called Bai Mao, it's extremely precious, normally we wouldn't even dare to drink it, but since you're here, we brought it out."
Zhuge Jun said: "This tea is produced by my younger brother."
Seeing their surprised expressions, he said again: "Have you used soap? That's also produced by my brother." He then told his elder brother about the two sisters' business as well.
Xu Zhong was relieved and happily said: "Good, good, my younger brother has grown up and can take care of two sisters. The eldest brother is happy for you."
Sister-in-law heard that Zhuge Jun's two sisters also made a fortune, and said: "Your sister-in-law's family is also doing business, what good things you have, think of your sister-in-law too."
Zhuge Jun and the others were just saying that, saying: "That's natural, we're a family. My younger brother has many projects in his hands, guaranteeing that my sister-in-law will make a lot of money every day. If it's convenient, I'll come here to do business, Jingzhou is too small."
"Easy, easy! Just come and everything will be simple."
Although Zhuge Jin didn't care much about money, his younger brother came to do business and the family ties became closer. He said: "Come on, Xiao Jun, as long as it's not an illegal business, big brother will support you."
That night, Zhuge Jun stayed at Zhuge Jin's mansion.
The next day, Zhuge Jin went out for work and his sister-in-law sent Liu Hu, the butler, to accompany him in selecting a site.
Suzhou is a great place, with beautiful mountains and rivers, and talented people. Thinking about living here in the future makes Zhuge Jun happy.
After three days of searching, a 2,000-acre wasteland was finally found six miles away from the city. It has a beautiful view with one side facing the lake and the other side close to the official road, making it convenient for transportation. Although the land is barren and not suitable for farming, it doesn't matter to Zhuge Jun.
He chose a location and entrusted his sister-in-law to handle the land purchase procedures. His sister-in-law saw that he had chosen a barren land that no one wanted, so she felt relieved in her heart, because if it were fertile land, there would inevitably be disputes with others, which would be more troublesome. Now it's just dealing with the government, which is much simpler.
He left Zhao Hongshan, 8 family members and 15 craftsmen, recruited local workers, built according to the drawings, and prepared to return to Longzhong.
That afternoon, he bid farewell to his elder brother's family and walked through the city with two servants leading their horses (for safety reasons, it was stipulated that civilians could only lead horses in the city, not ride them). Suddenly, a rapid horseshoe sound came from behind, accompanied by a tender scolding: "Get out of the way!"
