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 to Xiaofendanzi’s bedroom. Those The gifts are all birthday gifts given to Xiao Lele by the guests, and naturally it is up to Xiao Lele to decide what to do 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 twisted a portion of braised pork and preserved eggs for him and smiled back at him. He wouldn't take good things to the hotel, and he would definitely be robbed of everything when he took them to work.
The people from 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. Those who were not particularly close friends and relatives went back to their respective places, and some set off immediately. Go home, some stay 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, and the upper 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, where he and his nephew knelt down formally to pay homage to their elders. They sat down respectively and asked about the health of her great-aunt.
The surname of Penglai Xiandao is Yu, and the maiden name is Yu Ruxian. She is the eldest daughter of the former owner of the island. Her younger sister Yu Ruyan met Xuanyuan Wushang when they went out to gain more knowledge. The two fell in love and got married. At first, no one knew about it until When the ancient martial arts sect was in turmoil and the Xuanyuan family was in deep trouble, Penglai Immortal Island sent its disciples out of the island to help, thus shocking the ancient cultivating world.
Although Penglai Immortal Lord looks like a beautiful 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 rare. One hundred, sixty or seventy years old The ancient cultivators are truly immortals.
The Master 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 gentle voice: "Xiao Chenbei, how deep is your friendship with the girl from the Immortal Medical Sect?"
"Great aunt, Chen Bei 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 it's not enough to be called close friends." Young Master Xuan wanted to scratch the wall, but Little Beauty The beauty is not the kind of melon who gets dizzy when coaxed casually. She has a firm belief in her heart that things are neither right nor wrong, and she will not be easily swayed by others.
"It's good to have a deeper friendship than others. Can you talk to me, little girl? Are there any thresholds set for those who seek treatment?" Master Yudao asked in a soft voice, his aura so restrained that no one could even think of her. It has 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 difficult for patients. Generally speaking, if the medical fee is included Basically, there is no problem if there are things that the little beauty likes."
"What does the little girl like the most?"
"Chen Bei can't say, I guess he doesn't care much about common things like gold and silver, but he doesn't care about rare things that can be used as medicine. Caohe is interested in rare treasures. Chenbei saw with his own eyes that the little beauty's eyes lit up when she saw the precious medicinal materials. He doesn't know anything else." "The
congratulatory gift I sent this time is a peacock feather cloak and nineteen top-quality Eastern beads. , including two sets of gem-set hairpins, hairpins, steps, ear hairpins, and jade bracelets, one string each of thousand-year-old sandalwood beads, agarwood beads, red coral beads, and jade beads, and six utensils: Gui, Huang, Zhang, A set of bi, cong, and amber, doesn't it seem like a light gift and not enough to make the little girl look at him differently?" When the
head of the Xuan family heard what the elders said about the congratulations, his eyes twitched imperceptibly, and he hesitated for a moment. Question: "Grandma, the peacock feather cloak you gave me is the hundred-year-old peacock feather cloak?" "
Yes, ordinary peacock feathers cannot be obtained, and only the hundred-year-old peacock feathers can barely make it to the table. "
My grandson thinks that my aunt's congratulations are 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 Fairy Island. It is a century-old peacock. Its tail feathers are woven with gold and silver threads.
As we all know, the lifespan of a peacock 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 can live for about fifty years, while peacocks that live for a hundred years are It is a rare one in a thousand years.
Each disciple of Penglai Immortal Island has a peacock feather coat, and there are only three feather coats woven by peacocks over a hundred years old, a cloak, a women's skirt, and a men's robe. Clothes have always been inherited from the island. It is passed down from generation to generation by the island owners.
Generally, peacock feathers ignite immediately when exposed to fire. The precious features of hundred-year-old peacock feathers are waterproof and snowproof, and they are not too afraid of fire. Generally speaking, they will not burn when lit with fire. If more than half of the feathers are thrown into the fire, Minutes, it will naturally burn.
"When I came here, I didn't know that the little girl liked medicinal herbs. I thought it was the little girl Fangchen, so I didn't expect to bring rare and exotic herbs as a gift. I should bring some medicinal herbs such as thousand-year-old ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum and wait for the little girl's birthday before adding more. Find a time to send it to me. I don't want the little girl to see me alone." "
As the saying goes, goose feathers are sent thousands of miles away. The gift is light but the friendship is heavy. Besides, the gift from my great-aunt is not light. I think the little beauty will meet you. Please be at ease. , when the little beauty came back, Chen Bei shamelessly went to make an appointment with the little beauty. 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 suffer. Acupuncture, although there are benefits to being pricked with acupuncture, it feels so shameful."
Master Yu Dao immediately laughed out loud, and Master Xuan couldn't help but smile and opened his eyes: "Chen Bei was pricked by a needle by a little girl?" "
Well, the little beauty said I still don’t understand anything. I was given acupuncture. I felt very comfortable after the injection. During the practice, my meridians and infuriating 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 feel my back tingling. Cool." Mr. Xuan held his face in his hands: "Great-aunt, do you know that when the little beauty stabbed my face and head with needles, she pricked me into a cactus. At that time, I almost thought that my handsome face could not be saved. But it scared me so much."
"Oh, you kid 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. Let me see how handsome Xiao Chenbei looks like when he is tied into a prickly pear ball. "
"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, I have inherited a little bit of your and my great-grandmother's beauty. Are you willing to let me get an injection?"
"You have such a sweet mouth, why can't you be a girl? If you are a girl, I will take you back to the island to plant flowers and grass with me." "
Great-aunt, we have a girl in our family. You like to take one or two or three or five back to Fairy Island to accompany you to relieve your boredom, and there are boys who are as beautiful as me. You can also take them to Fairy Island. Brothers and sisters at home..." Mr. Xuan immediately helped the family
. The brothers and sisters advertised, explaining one by one who has the mildest temper, who is the naughtiest, and who has the advantages.
There was a sweet-tongued Xiao Chenbei who was making the elders happy. The head of the Xuan family was very relaxed, because there was a sweet-tongued and filial young boy who said he would make a special dish for himself to try. The Penglai fairy master stayed as a guest and decided to serve in the Xuan family. Stay overnight and wait until tomorrow to return to the Taoist temple.
Tantai Mingguang returned to Beijing with his two grandsons and did not stay. He packed up his luggage and returned to his hometown. At that time, Tantai Xunhuan was in poor health and studied at home. His student status was still in school and he had to take exams every year. Now he is five years old. In late October, junior high school was about to take its senior high school entrance examination, and Tantai Xunhuan had to return to his hometown to prepare for the high school entrance examination.
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 confuse the Nalan family with the Feng family.
The temple is prosperous and there are many tourists during the day. Fortunately, the monks' quarters are a place where tourists stop and are not disturbed. Returning to the courtyard, the head of the Nalan family sat down by the stone bench under the tree in the courtyard. The guards who stayed in the temple served tea. Stand beside the owner of the house.
Lan Fourth Shao and Lan Qi Shao moved to the temple before the head of the family came to Beijing, and the guest rooms in the temple were booked by them. When they came back, the two of them stood beside the head of the house, not daring to act recklessly.
The head of the Nalan family drank two cups of tea in a row, his brows furrowed tightly, then he added a third cup of tea, holding a white porcelain cup in his hand. After thinking for a long time, he spoke for the first time after returning: "Fourth, are you sure? You really haven't done anything to offend the little girl?"
"Master, Qingxi has not offended the little girl. It's really that the young master of the Feng family has an old grudge with the little girl. He didn't understand the rules of Sanweixuan and caused trouble in Xuanyuan Restaurant. I didn't stop him, and afterwards I helped young master Feng's acupoints." Fourth Young Master Lan didn't dare to go against his will 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. Not to mention her, even I wouldn't do it to you. Looks good." Head Nalan tilted his head slightly to look at his son, hating how hard it was to make steel: "Forget it, it's useless to talk about it now. You should think twice before doing anything. From now on, everything in the capital will be decided by Lao Qi. Take responsibility, Lao Qi. The elders of the family 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 a negative relationship with the Nalan family and Zhou Shaozhong’s family of the Xuan family. Treat them all as friends, and at least hope that the little girl can treat Nalan and the ancient martial arts clan such as the descendants of Mantis Fist as equals."
Lan Qishao is not in a good condition, so 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." Lan Sishao lowered his head slightly, no matter how depressed he was, he had nowhere to complain, he
just Who would have thought that a momentary mistake 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.
Without having to wait on 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 instead ended up with him because of small mistakes. What's more serious is that he was rejected by the immortal doctor's sect, and the family sent Lao Qi to Beijing.
Lao Qi is also a leader among his direct descendants, and is 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 is really non-competitive, instead of appearing to be non-competitive?
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 80%.
Fourth Young Master Lan was unhappy. He walked around a few times and returned to the monk's room to meditate. If he wanted to seize the position of 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 was also one of the first people to return to his own territory. After returning to the courtyard, he and his nephew returned to the upper room. The guards served tea, and the two nephews slowly drank tea. .
After drinking a cup of fragrant tea, Master Jiang's brows overflowed with 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 the tea from the little girl's house." Young Master Jiang looked at
it He looked at his uncle with a faint smile, and silently shed a drop of cold sweat: "Uncle, have you made any crooked ideas again?" "
I just envy you for your good taste. In your eyes, your uncle is the kind of guy who always makes crooked ideas. The one who came up with the idea?" The smile between Jiang Family Master's eyebrows deepened, but there was a serious expression on his face.
"When uncle shows a fox-like smile, it basically means that he is thinking about some messy things." Young Master Jiang did not give the uncle face. The brothers knew their uncle too well. Whenever 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." "
The braised pork in the special braised soup made by the little beauty is delicious." "
Oh, you said it yourself, I won't I asked you how you feel about eating meat. I can rest assured that you are not a partial eclipse. Did the little girl say whether the medicinal materials your two brothers have found are enough? Do you need us to find other medicinal materials?" "The little beauty did not ask us to find other medicinal materials
. The medicinal materials are very happy that we helped her find Roucongrong. I told the little beauty that if there are any medicinal materials that are specialties in our hometown, if you need them, you are welcome and let our family find them." "That's good, the little girl
and You have a good relationship. With you in Jingzhong, my elders and I can rest assured. You just need to stay in Jingzhong. Your father and I will handle matters at home. Elders, you don’t have to worry."
"Have you found the guy who cheated on others?"
"We... 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, just pretend you don’t know anything.”
“I know.”
The nephew’s temperament was calm, and the head of the Jiang family was reassured. He repeated the instructions of his elders again, and then only talked about trivial matters in life and chatted for two hours. , go 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 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.
