Translator: 549690339
As soon as Zhao Hai entered the courtyard, a servant came to lead him to the small courtyard that Smith had prepared for him. The Lintao residence was a very large courtyard. The large courtyard was divided into several small courtyards, and Zhao Hai’s group occupied one of the small courtyards.
The servant led Zhao Hai out of the courtyard and left. Zhao Yi pushed the door open and walked in. The moment he entered, he saw Xu Wanying. Xu Wanying bowed to Zhao Hai and said loudly, ” “Young master, you’re back.”
As soon as they heard Xu Wanying’s voice, Laura and the others came out of the house. They had changed into their home clothes and looked more casual. To Zhao Hai’s surprise, melgen was there too.
Zhao Hai greeted them and led them into the house. They sat down in the living room. When melgen saw Zhao Hai sitting down, she immediately said,”Big brother hai, they didn’t make things difficult for you, right?”
Zhao Hai smiled. &Quot; it’s fine. It’s all in the past. They didn’t make things difficult for me. Oh, right. If you have time later, go and find Grandpa gan. I’ll give him the seafood in my interspace. No matter what, it’s our gift. &Quot;
Melgen nodded. &Quot; okay, I’ll talk to Grandpa gan later. Brother hai, what happened to you in the living room today? ”
When Zhao Hai saw melgen’s expression, he knew that if he did not tell her what happened in the living room, she would not be at ease. So, Zhao Hai told melgen what happened in the living room.
Melgen could not help but laugh when she heard Zhao Hai’s words. &Quot; good, brother hai, you’re right. You don’t know, but third Grandpa has always been against Grandpa. He’s wanted to send me away for a marriage alliance for a long time. Fortunately, father and Grandpa have been stopping him. However, they’re under a lot of pressure too. Third Grandpa roped in a large group of people in the family to put pressure on father and Grandpa. The reason why Grandpa didn’t strongly oppose our marriage in the end was also related to this. &Quot;
Zhao Hai nodded. This kind of internal struggle was inevitable at any time because people were greedy. If they got less, they would always want more. If they got more, they would want more. This kind of struggle was inevitable.
Melgen continued, ” fifth uncle has had a grudge against you for a long time. Also, because of you, Grandpa no longer Pampers him. I think he will definitely vent his anger on you. However, he doesn’t have much influence on Grandpa now. You don’t have to worry. &Quot;
Zhao Hai smiled. &Quot; what’s there to worry about? with my current strength, even the Roson Empire can’t touch me. Don’t worry, I won’t mind. &Quot;
Melgen heaved a sigh of relief. &Quot; I’m not worried about your safety. I’m just afraid that if fifth uncle makes me angry, you will deal with the carci family. The carci family can’t stop your attack. &Quot;
When Zhao Hai and Laura heard melgen’s words, they couldn’t help but laugh. Melgen also laughed. However, what she said just now was not a joke. The other members of the carci family did not know Zhao Hai’s strength, but she was very clear about it. If Zhao Hai really wanted to deal with the carci family, then the carci family would be finished.
After laughing, Laura turned to Zhao Hai and said, ” &Quot; big brother hai, you have to prepare for the next few days. You might have to attend a few banquets. &Quot;
Zhao Hai was taken aback. He then frowned and said, ” “Banquet? Can I not participate?”
Melgen smiled bitterly. &Quot; I’m afraid it’s very difficult. It’s not only our karci family that’s holding a banquet. The other nobles in the city are also holding banquets. Even the princes will be holding banquets. Even if you don’t attend other people’s banquets, you can’t miss this banquet of the karci family and the banquet organized by Prince Charlie, right? ” However, I think it’s best for you to attend a few noble banquets. This will be very beneficial for our Buda family. Sometimes, connections are built like this.”
Zhao Hai nodded and sighed. He had the same problem as most otakus. He didn’t like to socialize, so he didn’t have a good impression of banquets.
But melgen was right. For a noble, he had to attend such a banquet. This was what Zhao Hai was most troubled about.
Laura looked at Zhao Hai and smiled, ” &Quot; it’s okay, big brother hai. Don’t worry. If you want to attend, then go. If you don’t want to, we can choose not to go. It’s up to us. As long as our Buda family’s strength is enough, even if we don’t attend any banquet, they will still cooperate with us. This is how the aristocrats are. &Quot;
Melgen didn’t object. She just nodded and said, ” &Quot; based on our Buda family’s current strength, we can indeed skip those banquets. However, the problem is that not many people know about our current strength. Although we have killed a few 9th rank experts in the Versailles Duchy, it seems that the people on the continent have probably blamed it on the primordial Sword Saint. Otherwise, people would have tried to contact our Buda family long ago. Therefore, I think that it is appropriate to attend some banquets. &Quot;
Zhao Hai turned around and looked at Laura. Laura nodded in response. With the current situation of the Buda family, it was necessary for them to attend banquets, especially banquets held by major families. This way, they could slowly build up the reputation of the Buda family among the upper-class nobles and let them know about the Buda family. Regardless of whether they would cooperate in the future, at least for now, they would be familiar with the family.
Seeing that Laura had agreed, Zhao Hai could only nod his head and say, ” “Alright, I’ll be there, but I’ll have to pick out some. I don’t want to spend all my time on the banquet.
Laura smiled and said, ” don’t worry. No one will make you waste your time on the banquet. After God’s grace day, it won’t be long before the civilization starts. At that time, we will have to go to the orc prairies. There are a lot of things waiting for us to deal with there. By then, you won’t be able to attend the banquet even if you want to. &Quot;
At this moment, Xu Wanying’s voice was heard, ” “Grand Duke Smith has arrived.”
Zhao Hai was stunned. He didn’t know why Smith came at this time, but he immediately stood up and led Laura and the others out. Seeing that Smith and his wife had already entered the courtyard, Zhao Hai hurriedly welcomed them into the living room. After they sat down, Laura and the others gave them the Keya.
Smith took a sip of his cocoa before looking at Zhao Hai.”Little hai, your performance today was very good. Not only did you not embarrass the Buda family, but father is also very happy. Tonight, I’m holding a family banquet. I will invite my big brother, third brother, and fourth brother. You should also go. They want to see you.”
“Alright, I’ll definitely be there.” Zhao Hai nodded.
Smith nodded and sighed. &Quot; &Quot; it’s not a big deal that you talked back to third uncle today, but it just so happens that you had a conflict with the family. Father went to Tianshui city to stop melgen from marrying you, but when he came back, he suddenly changed his mind, which made some people in the family very dissatisfied. Today, I want to let my big brother and the others see you. We are All in the Family’s Department now. If we work together, they won’t dare to do anything. Otherwise, we can’t do anything to you. &Quot; You’ll probably receive a lot of contemptuous looks from the family in the future.”
Zhao Hai smiled and said, ” you don’t have to worry about that. I don’t plan to stay here for too long. I don’t have that much time. After God’s grace day, I’ll leave. I think it’ll be fine for the next few days. I just need to go out less. &Quot;
Smith looked at Zhao Hai and sighed. He really didn’t know what to say. He knew that Zhao Hai wasn’t a person who liked to cause trouble. Almost everything that happened around Zhao Hai was done by someone first. However, if someone really did mess with him, he wouldn’t be polite.
Smith was also afraid of this. Although Smith didn’t know Zhao Hai’s real strength, Zhao Hai’s current strength was not weak. If those people from the kalchi family really offended Zhao Hai, Zhao Hai would not be polite, and things would be more troublesome.
Melgen could not help but smile when she saw Smith’s expression. &Quot; Grandpa, it’ll be fine. Grandpa gan is watching over the house, so nothing will happen. They’ll only cause trouble for brother hai when we’re outside. You don’t have to worry about things at home. By the way, if there’s a banquet in the city these few days, you have to pay attention to it and see if there’s anything suitable for brother hai to attend. &Quot;
Smith was stunned for a moment, but he immediately understood melgen’s meaning. He turned to look at Zhao Hai and said,”Little hai, which family are you going to attend? With my face, no matter which family it is, they will send an invitation.”
&Nbsp; ” if I had to choose, I’d rather not attend either of them, ” Zhao Hai said with a bitter smile. &Quot; but uncle, you know that buzai’s family has just gained some status, and he still needs to interact with them more. So, it’s not right to not attend these banquets. &Quot;
Smith smiled and said, ” you’re right. In this case, you can’t not participate. Well, I’ll pay attention for you. Go to more families that have a good relationship with our Karche family. It will be good for your development. &Quot;
Zhao Hai nodded. He also knew that with the current situation of the Buda family, not many people would pay attention to him if he went to the dinner party. He just wanted to get familiar with them. Smith asked him to attend the parties of families that were familiar with the kalchi family for his own good. If he went to those unfamiliar families, he might say some unpleasant things.
Smith looked at Zhao Hai and smiled, ” &Quot; alright, let’s not talk about this anymore. I’ll go back and prepare. When I’m ready, I’ll send someone to call you. &Quot; Zhao Hai nodded, and Smith left with his wife, who was talking to Laura and the others.
After Smith left, Zhao Hai turned to melgen and said, ” “Melgen, what kind of people are your first uncle, third uncle, and fourth uncle? Easy to get along with? Don’t tell me he’s like your fifth uncle?”
Melgen smiled and said, ” they won’t. Don’t worry. My uncles are very easy to get along with, especially my third uncle. He doesn’t care about the family’s Affairs at all. He only thinks about cultivation ... &Quot;
