Chapter 556 Everyone has their own thoughts
The parents went upstairs to take a lunch break. The three couples of the Chao family took their two children and Uncle Hu, Fang’s mother and others who came downstairs to clean up the hall after dinner carried gifts upstairs. When we went to Xiaofentuanzi’s bedroom, those gifts were all birthday gifts given to Xiao Lele by the guests. Naturally, it was up to Xiao Lele to decide how to deal with them.
Fang’s mother and others were also very happy. They ran several times to carry all the gifts upstairs, then packed up the tables and chairs, and went to the kitchen to wash the dishes. The chef was twisting a piece of braised pork and Preserved man, go back to his home with a smile on his face. He will not take good things to the hotel. If he takes them to work, they will definitely be robbed.
The members of the Guwu Guxiu family who left the Chao family left the villa and went their separate ways. Some acquaintances met in a quiet place to drink tea and reminisce. There were no particularly close friends or relatives. Everyone returned to their respective places, some set off home immediately, and some stayed in Beijing temporarily.
The Immortal Master of Penglai followed the Master of the Xuan Family to the backyard of the Xuanjia Teahouse. The Xuanjia Teahouse is equivalent to the reverse seat in the front of the courtyard, and behind it is the Xuanjia's other courtyard in Beijing. Each building is a two-story small courtyard. , the upper room hall is set up according to ancient rituals.
The head of the Xuan family invited his great-aunt to the hall of the upper room. He and his nephew knelt down formally to pay homage to their elders. They sat down respectively and asked about her health.
The surname of Penglai Xiandao is Yu, and the maiden name is Yu Ruxian. She is the eldest daughter of the former island owner. Her younger sister Yu Ruyan met Xuanyuan Wushang when they went out to gain more experience. The two fell in love and got married. , few people knew about it at first, until the Xuanyuan family was in deep trouble due to the turmoil in the ancient martial arts sect family, Penglai Immortal Island sent disciples out of the island to help, thus shocking the ancient cultivation world.
Although Penglai Immortal Lord looks like a pretty flower and has a face like a girl, he is actually over one hundred and seventy years old. It is not uncommon in the ancient world of cultivation to live to be one hundred twenty or thirty years old. Those who are over one hundred and fifty years old are considered The ancient cultivator who is one hundred, sixty or seventy years old is a rare person. He is a veritable immortal.
The owner of Yudao Island talked about trivial matters with the descendants of his sister's family, and asked his great-nephew and grandson who were standing beside him in a soft voice: "Xiao Chenbei, do you have a friendship with the little girl from the Immortal Medical Sect? How deep?”
“Great-aunt, Chenbei doesn’t dare to bully me. My relationship with the little beauty is slightly better than that of other young descendants from the Guxiu family, but we can’t be called close friends. The level of a friend." Mr. Xuan wanted to scratch the wall. The little beauty was not the kind of melon who would get dizzy when she was coaxed casually. She had a firm belief in her heart that things were neither right nor wrong, and she would not be easily swayed by others.
"It's good to have a deeper friendship than others. Is it easy to talk to the little girl? Are there any thresholds for patients who seek treatment?" Master Yudao asked in a soft voice, his aura was restrained to the point of not showing off. With only half a silk thread, no one could have imagined that she had the power to lift mountains.
"The little beauty is easy to talk to when she is in a good mood, but hard to talk to when she is in a bad mood. She is extremely kind and respectful to the elderly. According to what Chen Bei has seen, she has never been troublesome to patients.Generally speaking, if there is something that the little beauty likes in the medical consultation fee, there is basically no problem. ”
“What does a little girl like best? "
"Chen Bei can't say for sure. I guess he doesn't care much about common things like gold and silver. He is interested in rare herbs and rare treasures that can be used as medicine. Chen Bei has seen it with his own eyes. The little beauty's eyes lit up when she saw the precious medicinal materials, but she didn't know anything else. ”
“The congratulatory gift I am sending this time is a peacock feather cloak, nineteen top-quality Eastern beads, including gem-set hairpins, hairpins, step shakes, earrings, and jade bracelets for the head and face. Two sets, one each of thousand-year-old sandalwood beads, agarwood beads, red coral beads, and emerald jade beads, and one set of the six instruments Gui, Huang, Zhang, Bi, Cong, and Amber. Doesn’t it seem like a light gift and a thin thing? Does the little girl look at you differently? "
When the head of the Xuan family heard what the elders reported as congratulatory gifts, the corners of his eyes twitched imperceptibly. He hesitated before asking: "Auntie, the peacock feather cloak you gave me is the hundred-year-old mantle." A peacock feather cloak? "
"Yes, ordinary peacock feathers cannot be obtained, and only hundred-year-old peacock feathers can barely make it to the stage. ”
“My grandson felt that my aunt’s congratulations were already of the highest quality, enough to impress the little girl. "The head of the Xuan family couldn't help but twitch his eyes. The peacock feather cloak is one of the precious feathers of Penglai Immortal Island. It is made from the tail feathers of a century-old peacock woven with gold and silver threads.
As we all know, the peacock's feathers are The lifespan is only about ten years, and the limit is 20-25 years in a breeding environment. The lifespan of peacocks on Penglai Island is much longer than that in other places, and they can live for about fifty years. However, peacocks that live for a hundred years are rare in a thousand years. Only.
Every disciple of Penglai Xiandao has a peacock feather coat, and there are only three feather coats woven by peacocks over a hundred years old, one cloak, one women's skirt, and one men's robe. , clothes have always been an inherited item on the island, passed down from generation to generation by the island owners.
General peacock feathers are flammable when exposed to fire, but the precious features of hundred-year-old peacock feathers are waterproof and snowproof, and they are not Being too afraid of fire means that under normal circumstances, if you light it with fire, it will not burn. If you put it in the fire for more than half a minute, it will naturally burn.
“I didn’t know that the little girl liked it when I came here. As for the medicinal materials, I thought it was the little girl Fangchen, so I didn’t think of giving rare and exotic herbs as a gift. I should bring the thousand-year-old ginseng, Ganoderma lucidum and other medicinal materials, and wait for the little girl’s birthday to find another time to send them to her. The girl wants to see me alone. "
"It is said that goose feathers are sent thousands of miles away. The gift is light but the friendship is heavy. Besides, the gift given by my great-aunt is not light. I believe the little beauty will meet you. Please be at ease and wait for the little beauty to come back. Chenbei I shamelessly went to the little beauty to make an appointment. It’s just my great-aunt. If the little beauty is angry and pricks me with a needle, you must remember to get some medicinal materials to redeem me. I don’t want to get a needle, although there are benefits to being pricked with acupuncture. But I feel so ashamed. ”
The owner of Yudao Island burst out laughing immediately, and the head of the Xuan family could not help but smile and open his eyes: "Chen Bei was pricked by a needle by a little girl?"
"Well, the little beauty said that I If there is anything I don’t understand, I was given acupuncture. I felt very comfortable after the injection. During the practice, my meridians and true energy flowed more smoothly. But every time I think about the little beauty’s expression when she pricked me with the needle, I can’t help but get chills on my back. ." Young Master Xuan held his face in his hands: "Great-aunt, do you know that the little beauty pricked my face and head with needles, pricking me into a cactus? At that time, I almost thought that my handsome face could not be saved, but It made me so scared."
"Oh, you got an advantage and acted like a good boy. When I see the little girl, I will definitely suggest to the little girl to stab you again and let me see how well Xiao Chenbei stabs you. How handsome the prickly pear looks."
"Great-aunt, look at how delicate and handsome my face is, although it is far less than one-tenth of the beauty of you and my great-grandmother. Even though I have inherited a little bit of the beauty of you and my great-grandmother, are you willing to let me get the injection?"
"She has such a sweet mouth, why can't she be a girl? If she is a girl, I’ll take them back to the island to plant flowers and grass with me.”
“Great-aunt, if we have girls in our family, would you like to take one or two or three or five back to the fairy island to accompany you to relieve your boredom? , and there are boys who are as beautiful as me, and I can take them to Fairy Island, my brothers and sisters at home..."
Mr. Xuan immediately helped advertise for his brothers and sisters at home, Balaba. Let’s explain one by one who has the mildest temper, who is the naughtiest, and what are the advantages of so and so.
There is a sweet-tongued Xiao Chenbei who is making the elders happy. The head of the Xuan family is very relaxed because there is a sweet-tongued and filial young boy who wants to cook a special dish for himself to try. Penglai Immortal Master I stayed as a guest and decided to stay overnight at Xuanjia and wait until tomorrow to return to the Taoist temple.
Tantai Mingguang took his two grandsons back to Beijing and did not stay. He packed up his luggage and returned to his hometown. At that time, Tantai Xunhuan was not in good health and studied at home. His student status was still in school. Every year They all have to take exams. It is now late May, junior high school is about to take the high school entrance exam, and Tantai Xunhuan has to go back to his hometown to prepare for the high school entrance exam.
Shou Bo stayed in the capital to prepare for contact with the little girl, so as not to have no one in charge and not know how to deal with anything.
When the head of the Nalan family came to Beijing, he did not live in the Feng family. Instead, he stayed in a temple in the west of the city as a tourist. Firstly, for peace of mind, and secondly, he hoped that the little girl would not leave the Nalan family. Confused with the Feng family.
The temple is prosperous and there are many tourists during the day. Fortunately, the monk's quarters are a place where tourists stop and are not disturbed. Returning to the courtyard, the head of the Nalan family sat down beside the stone bench under the tree in the courtyard and stayed behind. The guards at the temple served tea and stood beside the head of the household.
The Fourth Shao Lan and the Seventh Shao Lan moved to the temple before the head of the family came to Beijing.The guest room in the temple was also booked by them. When they came back, they stood beside the owner of the house and did not dare to act recklessly.
The head of the Nalan family drank two cups of tea in a row, his brows furrowed, then he added a third cup of tea, holding a white porcelain cup in his hand; he thought for a long time before making his first sound after returning. : "Fourth, are you sure you haven't done anything to offend the little girl?"
"Go home, Qingxi has not offended the little girl. It's really the young master of the Feng family and the little girl. There was an old grudge. He didn't understand the rules of Sanweixuan and caused trouble in Xuanyuan Restaurant. I didn't stop him, and afterwards I helped the young master of the Feng family to relieve his acupuncture points." Fourth Young Master Lan didn't dare to go against the rules and told the truth.
"Young Master Xuanyuan didn't help someone to remove his acupuncture points. He must have wanted to punish the young master of the Feng family and make him stand. You didn't stop the people who followed you from bullying others and you still helped to remove their acupuncture points. Don't say it was her. , even I won’t give you a good look.” Patriarch Nalan tilted his head slightly to look at his son, somewhat hating that iron is not made of steel: “Forget it, it’s useless to talk more about it now that it’s over. Think twice about everything yourself. Okay, from now on, Lao Qi will be responsible for matters in Beijing. Lao Qi, the family elders have high hopes for your trip. You should be smarter and find a way to mend the rift between the Nalan family and the little girl. Don’t let the little girl have any influence on the Nalan family. Just like the Xuan family and the Zhou Shao family, I at least hope that the little girl can treat Nalan and other ancient martial arts clans, such as the descendants of Mantis Boxing, equally."
The whole person of Lan Qi Shao is not very good. Let him clean up the mess? Can he run? He didn't want to take the hot potato, but he couldn't disobey the order of the family leader, so he had to bite the bullet and respectfully accept the order: "Qinghu will do its best to do it."
Fourth Young Master Lan lowered his head slightly, no matter how depressed he was. There was nowhere to complain. It was just a momentary mistake on his part. Who would have thought that it would lead to such a passive situation for the Nalan family.
Lan Qi expressed his position, and the head of the Nalan family was very satisfied and let the young man do his own thing. He went back to the monk's room to meditate at noon.
Not having to wait for the master of the house, Fourth Young Master Lan went out for a walk and wandered around the temple. Looking at all kinds of tourists, he felt irritated. He did not succeed in making friends with the immortal doctor, but because of Every small mistake made him become enemies. What was more serious was that he was rejected by the immortal doctor's disciples, and the family sent Lao Qi to Beijing.
Lao Qi is also a leader among his direct descendants and one of the candidates for the next head of the family. Lao Qi has never wanted to compete, but who can guarantee that Lao Qi will really not compete, not just on the surface? Acting aloof?
The arrival of Lao Qi is tantamount to the family's high hopes for him. If Lao Qi successfully completes the family's mission, then the possibility of Lao Qi being appointed as the next heir will increase from the original 50% to 50%. Eighty percent.
Fourth Young Master Lan was depressed, walked around a few times, and returned to the monk's room to meditate. If he wanted to seize the position of the head of the family, his cultivation was also very important and could not be neglected.
The Jiang family has a separate courtyard in Beijing, so the head of the Jiang family is also one of the first people to return to his own territory.1. After returning to the hospital, he and his nephew went back to the upper room. The guards served tea, and the two nephews drank tea slowly.
After drinking a cup of fragrant tea, the owner of the Jiang family had a faint smile: "I feel that the famous tea in our hometown is still not as good as the tea prepared by the little girl. Sanlang has a good taste and can often drink it at the little girl's house. Tea."
Young Master Jiang looked at his uncle with a faint smile, and silently shed a drop of cold sweat: "Uncle, have you made some crooked ideas again?"
"I just envy you for your good taste. Do you think your uncle is the kind of person who always makes wrong ideas?" The smile between the Jiang family master's eyebrows deepened, but there was a serious expression on his face.
"When my uncle shows a fox-like smile, it basically means that he is thinking about some messy things." Mr. Jiang did not give his uncle face. Their brothers knew their uncle too well, and every time When they saw the uncle of the family showing a certain smile, they cheered up.
"This time is an exception. I just saw you finally eating meat at noon, and I felt relieved."
"Little beauty's special braised pork in braised soup It’s delicious.”
“Oh, you said it yourself, so I won’t ask you how you feel about eating meat. You are not a partial eclipse, so I can rest assured. Did the little girl say that your two brothers are looking for you? Are the medicinal materials enough? Do we need to find other medicinal materials?"
"The little beauty did not ask us to find other medicinal materials. She was very happy that we helped her find Roucongrong. I told the little beauty If there are any medicinal materials that are specialties in our hometown, if you need them, don’t hesitate to let our family find them.” Don't worry, elders, you just stay in Beijing. Your father and I will take care of things at home. Elders, you don't have to worry."
"Have you found the guy who is cheating?"< br />
"We...know in our hearts that the matter may not only be as simple as the dispute between our family, but may also involve the entire ancient martial arts world. It is not appropriate to tell you juniors for the time being, so as not to alert the snake, you brothers We just pretend we don’t know anything.”
“I know.”
The nephew has a calm temperament. The head of the Jiang family is relieved and repeats the instructions of his elders. , they just talked about some trivial matters in daily life, chatted for two hours, and then went to the airport to take a flight home.
It was not just the head of the Jiang family who left Beijing that day. The head of the Hua family, the head of the Ji family, the head of the Si family, the head of the Chen family, and the elders of the Huo family all only stayed briefly at their respective places of stay before leaving.
Dear little fairies, it’s Chinese New Year, it’s Chinese New Year. Happy Chinese New Year to everyone. I wish everyone receives a lot of lucky money.
