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 Xiaofenduanzi’s bedroom. Those gifts were all Naturally, Xiao Lele decides to handle the birthday gifts given by guests to Xiao Lele.
Fang’s mother and others were also very happy. They ran several times to carry all the gifts upstairs, then tidied up the tables and chairs, and went to the kitchen to wash the dishes. The chef was twisting a portion of braised pork and preserved eggs for him. , returned to his home with a smile on his face. He would not take the good things to the hotel. If he took them to the place of work, they would 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 to find a quiet place to drink tea and reminisce about the past. There were no particularly close friends and relatives. Returning to various places, some set off home immediately, while others stayed in Beijing temporarily.
The Immortal Master of Penglai followed the Master of the Xuan Family to the backyard of the Xuanjia Tea House. The upper room hall is set up according to ancient rituals.
The head of the Xuan family invited his 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.
Penglai Xiandao’s surname is Yu and her 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. At first, few people knew about it, 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 170 years old. It is not uncommon in the ancient world of cultivation to live to be 120 or 30 years old. Those who are over 150 years old are considered rare. , the one hundred, sixty or seventy-year-old ancient cultivator is a veritable immortal.
The Master of Yudao Island talked about some trivial matters with the descendants of his sister’s family, and asked softly his great-nephew and grandson who was standing beside him, “Xiao Chenbei, how deep is your friendship with the girl from the Immortal Medical Sect? "
"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 it's not enough to be called a close friend. "Mr.
"It's good to have a deeper friendship than others. Is there any threshold for seeing a doctor if the little girl can talk well?" Master Yudao asked in a soft voice, with a restrained aura that didn't show even a trace. 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 seen to be difficult for patients. He said that if there is something that the little girl likes in the medical treatment fee, there is basically no problem."
"What does the little girl like the most?"
"Chen Bei can't say that. I guess I don't care much about common things like gold and silver, but I care about rare herbs and exotic herbs that can be used as medicine.Chen Bei was interested in rare treasures. He saw with his own eyes that the little beauty's eyes lit up when she saw the precious medicinal materials. He didn't know anything else. ”
“The congratulatory gift I sent this time is a peacock feather cloak, nineteen top-quality Eastern beads, including gem-set hairpins, hairpins, step shakes, earrings, and jade bracelets on both sides of the head and face. A set of thousand-year-old sandalwood beads, agarwood beads, red coral beads, and emerald jade beads, and a set of six utensils: Gui, Huang, Zhang, Bi, Cong, and Amber. Doesn’t it seem like a light gift? The girl looked at him differently."
Hearing what the elders reported as a congratulatory gift, the head of the Xuan family twitched slightly in the corners of his eyes. He hesitated before asking, "Auntie, the peacock feather cloak you sent is the hundred-year-old mantle." "A cloak with 100-year-old peacock feathers"
"Yes, ordinary peacock feathers can't be obtained, and only centenary peacock feathers can barely make it to the stage. ”
“My grandson felt that my aunt’s congratulations were of the highest quality, enough to impress the little girl. "The head of the Xuan family couldn't help but wince. The peacock feather cloak is one of the precious feathers of Penglai Immortal Island. It is made of the tail feathers of a century-old peacock woven with gold and silver threads.
As we all know, the lifespan of a peacock In just ten years, 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, a peacock that lives for a hundred years is rare in a thousand years. .
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, a cloak, a women's skirt, and a men's robe. It has always been an inheritance on the island and has been passed down from generation to generation by the island owners.
Generally, peacock feathers will ignite when exposed to fire. The preciousness of hundred-year-old peacock feathers is that they are waterproof and snowproof, and they are not too afraid of fire. , means that under normal circumstances, it will not burn when lit with fire. If it is thrown into the fire for more than half a minute, it will naturally burn.
"I didn't know that the little girl liked medicinal herbs when I came here. It’s the little girl Fangchen, so I didn’t think of giving rare and rare herbs as a gift. I should bring some 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 me. I’m not allowed to let the little girl see me alone. At first sight. ”
“As the saying goes, 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. Chen Bei is generous. It’s just my great-aunt that I have the nerve to go to the little beauty to make an appointment. 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 being pricked with acupuncture is beneficial, but I feel so ashamed. ”
The Master of Yudao Island burst out laughing immediately, and the Master of the Xuan Family couldn’t help but smile and open his eyes, “Chen Bei was pricked by a needle by the little girl.”
“Well, the little beauty said that I still If I don't understand something, I was given acupuncture. I felt very comfortable after the injection, and my meridians were more fluent during the practice. But every time I think about the expression of the little beauty when she pricked me with the needle, I can't help but get chills on my back. Mr. Xuan held his face in his hands and said, "Great-aunt, do you know that when the little beauty pricked 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 she could turn me into a cactus."Terrified. ”
“Oh, you got an advantage and acted like a good boy. When I see the little girl, I will definitely suggest that the little girl stab you again. Let me see how handsome Xiao Chenbei looks like when he is tied into a cactus. ”
“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 it anyway.” You and your great-grandmother are so beautiful, are you willing to give me a shot?"
"You have such a sweet mouth, why can't you be a girl? If you are a girl, I will take her back to the island to plant flowers and grass with me. . ”
“Great-aunt, we have girls in our family. You would like to take one or two back to Fairy Island to accompany you to relieve your boredom. And there are boys who are as beautiful as me. That’s okay too. Take them to Fairy Island, brothers and sisters at home."
Master Xuan immediately helped the brothers and sisters at home to advertise, explaining one by one who has the mildest temper, who is the naughtiest, and who has What advantages.
There is a sweet-talking Xiao Chenbei who is making the elders happy. The head of the Xuan family is very relaxed, because there is a sweet-talking and filial young boy who wants to cook a good dish for himself, Penglai. The Immortal Master stayed as a guest and decided to stay at Xuanjia until the next day before returning to the Taoist temple.
Tantai Mingguang took his two grandsons back to the capital 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 it is late May and junior high school is about to take the high school entrance examination. Tantai Xunhuan has to go back to his hometown to prepare for the high school entrance examination.
Shou Bo stayed in Beijing to keep in touch with the little girl, so as not to have anyone 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, but as a tourist. His identity was listed in a temple in the west of the city. Firstly, it was 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 busy and there are many tourists during the day. Fortunately, the monks. The dormitory area is a place where visitors can stop and not be disturbed. Returning to the courtyard, the head of the Nalan family sat down beside the stone bench under the tree in the yard. The guard who stayed in the temple served tea and stood beside the head of the family.
< p>The Fourth Shao Lan and the Seventh Shao Lan 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 arbitrarily.The head of the house drank two cups of tea in a row, his brows furrowed, and then added a third cup of tea, holding a white porcelain cup in his hand. He pondered for a long time before uttering his first voice after coming back: "Fourth brother, are you sure you really don't have it?" What have you done to offend the little girl?"
"Go home, Master, Qingxi has not offended the little girl. It is true that the young master of the Feng family has an old grudge with the little girl. He does not understand the rules of Sanweixuan in Xuanyuan. There was a riot in the restaurant, but I didn't stop it. 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 anyone to relieve his acupuncture points. He must have wanted to punish the young master of the Feng family and make him stand. You didn't stop me and let you go. The person who bullies others also helps to relieve acupuncture points. Not to mention her, even I will not give you a good look. "The head of the Nalan family tilted his head slightly and looked at his son, somewhat hating that iron cannot be made into steel. "Forget it, it is useless to talk about it now. You should think twice about everything. From now on, Lao Qi will be responsible for the affairs in Beijing. Lao Qi, the family The elders have high hopes for your trip. You should be smart and find ways to mend the rift between the Nalan family and the little girl. Do not ask the little girl to regard the Nalan family as the same friends as the Xuan family and Zhou Shaozhong's family. At least I hope the little girl can treat Nalan equally with the descendants of Mantis Fist and other ancient martial arts clans."
The whole person of Lan Qishao is not very good. Can he run away if he is asked to clean up the mess? He doesn't want to take over the hot potato. However, we cannot disobey the order of the head of the family, so we can only bite the bullet and respectfully accept the order, "Qinghu will do its best."
Four Young Master Lan lowered his head slightly, no matter how depressed he was, he had nowhere to complain, he was 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 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 a A small mistake turned him into an enemy. What was more serious was that he was rejected by the immortal doctor's disciples, so 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 intended to compete, but who can guarantee that Lao Qi will really not compete, rather than acting on the surface? Have to live in peace with the world
The arrival of Lao Qi is tantamount to the family placing high hopes on him. If Lao Qi successfully completes the family mission, then the possibility of Lao Qi being appointed as the next heir will change from the original Fifty percent increased to 80%.
Four 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 head of the family, his cultivation was also very important and could not be neglected.
The Jiang family has a separate courtyard in Beijing. Therefore, 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. The two nephews drank tea slowly.
After drinking a cup of fragrant tea, a faint smile overflowed from the Jiang family’s eyebrows: “I feel that the famous tea in our hometown is 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. ."
Looking at his uncle with a half-smile but not a smile, Jiang Shao silently shed a drop of cold sweat, "Uncle, have you made another wrong idea?"
" 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 whenever Seeing 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 made with the special stewed soup made by the little beauty is 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 whether your two brothers have found enough medicinal materials and do you need us? "Look for other medicinal materials"
"The little beauty didn't ask us to find other medicinal materials. She was 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 anything, you're welcome, let our family look for it."
"That's good. The little girl has a good relationship with you. With you in Jingzhong, the elders and I can rest assured. You can just stay in Jingzhong. The matters at home are between me and your father, elders, you don’t have to worry."
"Have you found the guy who cheated on you?"
"We know what's going on. It’s just that the dispute between our family’s direct descendants is so simple, and it may involve the entire ancient martial arts world. It’s not appropriate to tell you juniors for the time being, so as not to alert others, and you brothers will just pretend you don’t know anything.”
” "I know."
The young nephew has a calm temper. The Jiang family leader was relieved and repeated the instructions of his elders. Then he only talked about trivial matters in daily life, chatted for two hours, and 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.
