"Father!"
"Uncle Zhong!"
Zhong Qiyu walked in quickly and saluted.
Zhong Xiaozhong smiled: "Meet the young master."
After Zhong Yan asked for some advice on how to practice, he said: "From today on, you will follow Xiaozhong during the day, listen more and watch more, and ask questions when you encounter something unclear."
Zhong Qiyu: "Yes, please remember that, kid."
At this time, Zhong Qizhan, a young man in brocade clothes, walked into the main hall, full of excitement, and shouted with a smile: "Father! Are you looking for me?"
Then he ran and jumped to Zhong Qiyu, patted his shoulder and called him "Seventh Brother".
Zhong Yan laughed angrily at his careless look. This boy had good martial arts qualifications. He had reached the first level of Xiantian at the age of fifteen and had perfectly inherited the talent of his mother, Zhou Yunning. He was even better than him.
Immediately afterwards, Xia He entered, bowed and said, "I have met your husband before."
Seeing that the two children were there, her expression changed slightly and she couldn't help but glance at Zhong Xiaozhong.
Zhong Yan said: "I've got a stick of incense, where are the people from Qifeng?"
Xia He's expression tightened and he said hurriedly: "Xu Shifeng'er went to play with his friends, I'm going to find you now!"
"Wait!"
Hearing his father's seemingly displeased voice, Zhong Qizhan put away his playful smile and bowed his head.
Zhong Yan looked at him with a half-smile but not a smile: "I heard that you are good at fighting?"
"Uh..." The young man raised his head and said, "Can I beat him badly?"
"Spanking is useless!"
Zhong Yan scolded in a cold voice: "If the family did not have such power in Qingyang, and if you were not my son, the grass on the grave would have been three feet high!"
"After fighting this and that, choosing inside and outside the house, and even imitating others to play in the gym and set up an arena, do you think you are really powerful?!"
The young man pursed his lips, looking stubborn and unconvinced.
"You are arrogant and domineering and don't know how to restrain yourself. You must know that there is a better world!"
"As for the guards of the same rank in the mansion, do you really think they can't defeat you?"
"If someone wants to harm you, even if their fighting power is not as good as yours, with your temper, they can still find countless ways to destroy you!"
"What, you're not convinced?"
"Would you like to bring two people over to try with you?"
The young man raised his head to look at his father in the high seat and was about to blurt out.
Not far away, Zhong Xiaozhong coughed twice.
Zhong Qizhan choked, bowed his head and said, "I don't dare, kid. I will follow my father's teachings. From now on, I will be humble and courteous, and be a low-key person."
After the words fell, Changhong fell in the courtyard, and Qin Ziyue led the two of them.
The smell of alcohol spread, and Zhong Qiming supported Zhong Qifeng and trotted forward.
Xia He looked ugly, and slapped his son, who was already unable to stand, to the ground. He cursed in a low voice: "You are useless!"
"Mother, why did you hit me..."
As if he had woken up, Zhong Qifeng shook his head, looked forward, and quickly knelt on the ground: "Father... I want to pay my respects to my father!"
Zhong Qijing followed and saluted.
Zhong Yan glanced at it and said to Zhong Qizhan: "After tomorrow's family dinner, pack up and go to the northern suburbs campus to report. If you let me know that you made a mistake in the military, you will be severely punished!"
Zhong Qizhan: "Yes, father, the child takes orders!"
Zhong Yan looked at Zhong Jiming and asked with a smile: "Is the brothel fun?"
Zhong Qiming looked innocent and said hurriedly: "Father, the child is looking for myna!"
Zhong Qiming is the son of Wen Yongshan. He is at the fifth level of Qi Refining with Three Spiritual Roots. He is only fourteen years old, but he often goes to brothels with his brothers Qi Feng and Qi Sheng.
"You haven't been?"
The young man blushed and said, "My dear, I only go out to drink and listen to music occasionally, but I have never called you a girl!"
Zhong Yan moved his eyes towards Zhong Qifeng and threw a few pieces of paper in front of him.
Xia He glanced at it and twitched at the corner of his mouth. It turned out to be an IOU from Baihualou. He raised his hand and saw the fingerprints on his precious son's face. He kicked him over with his foot instead, "You are really promising!" "
Zhong Qifeng stood up, knelt down, and shouted loudly, "Father! I know my mistake!"
Zhong Yan scolded: "Look at you, what have you become in just a few years? You are not good at learning, and you are not willing to endure hardships in martial arts. You spend all your time drinking and drinking, without learning or skills. Forget about visiting a brothel, you still have to play with girls. If you don’t pay, the Zhong family will lose all face to you!”
"Xiao Zhong, break his legs."
The expressions of everyone in the hall changed, especially Zhong Qizhan and Zhong Qiming, who shrank their necks and buried their heads deeply.
Zhong Xiaozhong hesitated for a moment, waved outside, and two guards entered the hall.
"Husband!"
Xia He knelt down while holding up the hem of her skirt: "Master, it's because I didn't discipline myself strictly and taught my son poorly! Fang Feng'er is young and immature. He will definitely change his ways in the future. I hope you will give him a chance to change his ways!"
Zhong Qifeng completely sobered up and cried: "My child knows his mistake and asks for forgiveness from his father. The child will definitely change his mind and become a new person!"
Zhong Yan: "Young and ignorant? How old is he?"
Xia He: "I and my eldest sister have chosen a good match for him. After getting married, Feng'er will calm down and work seriously!"
"So lively?"
At this time, a flash of light fell at the door, and a group of people poured in, including Yuan Ziyi, Yu Qingyao, Jiang Ping... and Zhou Yun, who had returned. It was she who spoke out.
Zhong Qifeng turned to look and shouted hurriedly: "Auntie, help me! Father is going to break the child's legs!"
This time, I realized that many aunts in the house would not plead for mercy, and only my aunt could speak.
Zhou Yun received a message from Qin Ziyue and found out the details, and said with a straight face: "You deserve to be punished!"
Then he looked at Zhong Yan and said: "Brother, although the child has made mistakes, the punishment should not be so serious. He should be given a chance to change."
Zhong Yan was originally trying to scare him, and was going to order him to go to the mines to endure hardships and exercise, but this confusion greatly reduced the effect. He said in a cold voice: "Twenty sticks, Xiaozhong. In half a month, he will be arranged to go to Fengyang to mine for a period of two years." .”
There is a copper concentrate in Fengyang, which was obtained by conquering the Five Elements Sect and dividing the profits.
Xia He's face changed drastically, his lips moved, but he didn't plead again.
Zhong Qifeng kowtowed repeatedly: "Thank you father, thank you father, the child will definitely reform..."
Zhong Yan waved his hand.
Zhong Xiaozhong led two guards to drag the person away.
The other three children also hurriedly saluted their elders and left in a hurry.
Zhong Yan got up and walked down the hall.
Xia He said with worry on his face: "Husband, twenty sticks are enough. Why not wait until the child has fully recovered from his injuries before going out to sharpen his skills."
Zhong Yan glared at her and said, "Just pet him! Let's see which child is like him!"
Xia He said aggrievedly: "Don't you also get used to him? Now you are blaming me. I beat him and scolded him, but he is not afraid of me at all!"
Zhong Yan was silent for a moment and said, "Okay, the bones in your body are so strong that they can't be broken."
Zhong Qifeng is the second son of Xia He. He was born on the same day as Zhong Qiyu. He once mistakenly thought that he had spiritual roots and that he looked the most similar to him among his children, so he loved him since childhood, pampered him, gave him preferential treatment, and pampered him. He is used to making many mistakes.
Fortunately, this is just an example. The family has strict rules and pays attention to education, and many children have grown up well.
After chatting for a while about the children's education, everyone went to the tea room to listen to Zhou Yun's detailed account of her outing experience.
all the best!
Zhong Qilin joined the Tiandao Sect, the largest sect in the Eastern Region.
Zhong Qilong was in the Liang Kingdom and worshiped the "Wuji Sect", a second-level sect in the Eastern Region.
Zhong Qifeng was less qualified. He worked as a casual cultivator in Cangsong City, Chu State, and was registered in the Keqing Mansion.
Zhong Yan can monitor the latest status of his three children at any time through system prompts.
The ninth level of the True Spirit Root Bell Phase Dragon Qi Refining.
Three Spiritual Roots, Zhongqi Feng Qi Refining Level 8.
Tianlinggen Zhong Qilin is at the fifth level of Qi refining. He is obviously following the elite route and is not in a hurry to break through.
"I have been with Feng'er for a long time. This child has a strong personality and is calm in his behavior. There should be no serious problems."
"Lin'er separated at the beginning. A sect like Tiandao Sect has many talents and fierce competition. I wonder if he can adapt."
"There is also Long'er. The Liang Kingdom is fighting against the Sui Kingdom, and various sects and immortal cultivating families are also involved..."
"Civil wars broke out in Jin, Ji, and Qi in the north because of the prayer beads. Relatively speaking, our area is relatively stable."
"When I came back from Wei, I only saw a few small-scale battles involving thousands of people."
Zhong Yan sighed: "It's just the calm before the storm."
Zhong Xiaozhong also received news just now that You Yeguo completely withdrew from the Wei battlefield and launched an all-out attack on Chen.
We talked for a long time until midnight, when everyone dispersed.
Zhong Yan went out, sneaked into the city lord's palace, taught Xia Xinzhu, who had long been waiting for drought in the fertile fields, and asked about Qingyang City's military strength and city defense.
The end.
Zhong Yan said: "There will be several wedding banquets in the mansion in a while. You, I will make up for one more in the future."
Xia Xinzhu rolled his eyes and said, "I understand."
Although Qingyang City is no different from being independent now, it still takes orders from the capital, but it is inconvenient to do so openly.
Zhong Yan added: "Let's have a family dinner tomorrow."
Xia Xinzhu was slightly startled, with a smile as bright as a flower: "Okay!"
