As wealthy families prosper, they gradually move away from the primary stage where they must develop as a group. When the big houses can take charge of their own business, they are often divided into big houses, second houses, and third houses to develop separately.
When a wealthy family reaches the stage of being a famous family, and some members of the family migrate to other places and become prosperous again, they will add the surname to the name of the region and call it a certain house in a certain place.
Taking the Tang family in Junhai as an example, there are Junhai big house, Junhai small house, Junhai Baiyue house, Ganzhou Yan house, etc.
This is all about resource allocation by the family and planning for further development.
Fan Guogong's family belongs to the Fan family and is also the head of the family.
The power and prestige in the hands of Grand Master Fan does not seem to be able to reorganize the Fan family, but if he wants to split up the Duke's palace, it is only a private matter that he can personally decide.
Tang Wanrong heard from the channels of the sisters-in-law in the Three Lanes and Seven Alleys that it involved some scandals that corrupted Gang Chang's ethics.
When I first heard about it, I didn't take it seriously. I just felt that nothing happening in these high-level courtyards was surprising.
I never expected that today, the Empress Dowager would talk about it, implicitly hinting at Tang Wanrong and the Langya Palace.
People like the Queen Mother will never chat without any purpose, especially when facing someone like Tang Wanrong.
You might chat with Kurohime and Shirohime, but they wouldn't understand the hint anyway.
Telling them explicitly will distort your intentions, so it's better to say something useless.
"The name of Fan Guogong's family is Fan Tian. The reason why he wants to separate the family seems to be to marry Fairy Jiayun of the Seven Star Sword Sect in the Ancient Vase." The Queen Mother looked at Tang Wanrong with interest.
Tang Wanrong has a delicate heart with seven orifices. After listening to what the Queen Mother just said, she will inevitably think more about it.
If she had nothing to do with Qin Shou'an, or if she had no thoughts about Qin Shou'an, she would probably only think about what would happen if the Langya Palace were divided into the East Palace and the West Palace.
If some ambiguity has arisen between her and Qin Shou'an, or something has happened, she will think that the Queen Mother is hinting at her.
The Queen Mother was already aware of Tang Wanrong's expression just now.
Haha, it’s just a trivial matter, the Queen Mother will not care about it.
Something happened last night. To the Queen Mother, it was nothing more than a passing dream. It would not affect her arrangements and attitude towards the people of Prince Langya's palace.
"Fairy Jiayun from the Seven-Star Sword Sect in the Ancient Vase?" A strange look appeared on Tang Wanrong's face. This was not the woman Ao Aojiao and Qin Shouan had a dispute with that night. Why is she related to Fan Tian again?
I didn't expect to hear her from the Queen Mother today.
Compared with Emperor Taizu and the late Emperor, the Queen Mother seemed to have an extraordinary concern for Jianghu affairs.
Even the late emperor who established the Jiuzhou Prefecture only handed over the affairs of the Jianghu to King Langya, and then stopped paying much attention to it, let alone dealing with the Jianghu people.
Since the Queen Mother's regency, Jianghu Sect Riyue Mountain has begun to enter the court, and its influence has penetrated into the core position. Most of the masters in Longyin Guard are from Riyue Mountain.
The four masters of Jingjingzhaojian Temple, where the Queen Mother nourished and protected her body, were also from Riyue Mountain.
She even knew that Fairy Jiayun from the Seven Stars Sword Sect in the Ancient Vase was so concerned about Jianghu affairs. Does it mean that she might have some new moves towards Jiuzhou Mansion?
"I have heard about this woman, but I didn't expect that she has something to do with Mr. Fan." Tang Wanrong pondered for a while, "She seems to have some ambiguity with the third prince of Nanhai Kingdom, Ao Aojiao..."
Tang Wanrong was about to tell her about her knowledge of Fairy Jiayun, but Hei Ji stood up and held her hands in solemn expression, indicating that she had something to say.
"What's the matter with you?" The Queen Mother frowned slightly. If she hadn't been immersed in the aftertaste of an unprecedented experience, feeling relaxed and relaxed, she would really not want to talk to Hei Ji.
"Please let the ministers tell you about this kind of Jianghu knowledge for the Queen Mother." Hei Ji knew that what Tang Wanrong wanted to talk about was what he saw in front of the palace of Prince Langya that night.
Hei Ji knows those things, and as a person in the world, Hei Ji is naturally better able to draw inferences and provide more useful information to the Queen Mother, which also makes the listening experience more exciting for those present.
Tang Wanrong lowered her head, glanced at Hei Ji, picked up the official porcelain jade-glazed gold-patterned spoon on the dining table, and drank the porridge slowly.
It just so happened that she didn't bother to talk about it. It was all Qin Shou'an's miscellaneous involvement with some women, and it was meaningless.
However, the Queen Mother suddenly became very interested, and she didn't know why.
Is it because Qin Shou'an is finally going to officially succeed to the throne, and some of the measures and innovations of Jiuzhou Prefecture must be implemented through Qin Shou'an, so what kind of attitude is she showing?
"Hey, go ahead." The Queen Mother said calmly.
"I think Fairy Jiayun must be extremely ugly. Otherwise, why would she always get involved with famous young masters in the world, and even in Longyin City? It's just to make up for her inferiority complex..."
"Discuss the matter as it stands, without any further analysis."
"Yes...but if you want to pay attention to Fairy Jiayun, you must..."
"If you keep talking nonsense, stop talking."
Hei Ji was helpless. The Queen Mother was considered to be a wise and wise woman, but she still lacked in knowing people and making good use of them.
You must know that Hei Ji's strongest ability is not her eighth-grade peak martial arts skills, but her careful and thoughtful mind, which can analyze countless useful information by analogy.
In this matter, Hei Ji has actually analyzed the conspiracy of the Seven Star Sword Sect in the Ancient Vase and some details of Qin Shou'an's battle of wits and courage.
There is also important information that the great master of the Ancient Ping Seven Star Sword Sect is actually dead. It is more likely that the Tianshu Sword God wants to infiltrate the Jianghu through the Jiuzhou Mansion and re-divide the Jianghu forces.
But the Queen Mother couldn't follow her advice, so Hei Ji could only briefly talk about how Qin Shou'an followed his master to the Seven Star Sword Gate of the Ancient Vase to celebrate his birthday, and then had a conflict with Ao Aojiao.
This is not interesting anymore, and it will be over in three or two sentences.
"Empress Dowager, my sister has missed a lot of important information. There is a third party between the Crown Prince and Fairy Jiayun." Bai Ji had been brewing for a long time and already had a whole story. After listening to her sister's story, she immediately Want to add.
"Then tell me." The morning light fell on the gray and smooth marble of Guanzhi Yinxuan, reflecting the clear look in the eyes of the Queen Mother.
Tang Wanrong couldn't help but trembled in her heart. Although... Qin Shou'an, the woman who couldn't express her love due to her status, seemed... unlikely to be her, but what if Bai Ji thought it was her?
She had to listen carefully. If Bai Ji talked nonsense, it would be Tang Wanrong who had to talk, so she could defend it immediately.
"This third party is his master Jiang Hongshu." Bai Ji said surprisingly.
"Nonsense!"
"How can it be?"
"Huh?"
"Little junior sister, please don't tarnish Fairy Jiang's reputation." Chong Huamei had been eating without any distractions, listening to everyone's conversation with the corner of her mouth slightly raised, but when Bai Ji mentioned Jiang Hongshu, she also put down the bowls and chopsticks in her hands.
The mention of Jiang Hongshu's name made the whole Guanzhi Yinxuan noisy for a moment. The birds outside the window chirped, seeming to want to join in the discussion.
"Since Jiang Hongshu can be chosen as the master of the eldest son, his moral character is as good as an ice kettle and a jade ruler, and he is a dignified and upright teacher. How could he be involved in the love affairs between juniors?"
The Queen Mother sat upright involuntarily and said with a serious expression, she...as the Queen Mother, she also did the same.
This master's identity was slightly similar to that of the Queen Mother, who she served as a role model for the royal family, which made her feel a little guilty, as if Bai Ji was insinuating her.
"The Queen Mother is right. If you say that someone else, even the famous Shaking Light Sword God of the Ancient Vase Seven Star Sword Sect in the world, is the third party, you can have some explanation. So what about Fairy Jiang? Possible?" Tang Wanrong also shook her head in disbelief.
The master is a single woman. This image somewhat overlaps with Tang Wanrong's. Bai Ji's eyes glanced over her intentionally or unintentionally, making Tang Wanrong feel guilty for no reason.
"Princess, how do you know about the Shaking Light Sword God? You didn't seem to know much about the Seven-Star Sword Sect in the Ancient Vase that night." Hei Ji asked curiously.
"Oh, I just paid some attention afterwards."
"Jia Yun's fairy name was given to her by people in the world for the sake of the Seven Star Sword Gate in the Ancient Vase and her excellent appearance. Fairy Jiang... was Jiang Hongshu's elegant and fairy-like name when she was wandering around the world. His swordsmanship and untainted temperament have impressed countless people in the world and praised him as an immortal."
Chong Huamei continued to shake her head. She had lived in the palace for many years, but after all, she was the senior sister of the Jianghu sect, Riyue Mountain, and she certainly knew a lot about celebrities in the Jianghu sect.
Although some shocking things happened last night, Zhong Huamei knew very well that he could not generalize. Jiang Hongshu did not have a special constitution that required appropriate medicine, nor could he take the Guanghan Toad Palace Pill to control himself, let alone be infuriated by others. Suck dry and fall weakly into unconsciousness.
Without all these coincidences and conditions, the madness last night could not have happened in Zhushao Mountain House... So just because Qin Shouan did something involuntarily last night, it does not mean that there is a possibility between him and his master. .
"But the prince himself said that the person he loved could not express his feelings because of his status and worldly pressure. Who else could he have besides Jiang Hongshu?" After Bai Ji finished speaking, her eyes rolled around twice.
This is heartless! The Empress Dowager felt that Bai Ji's eyes had glanced at her, and she couldn't help but feel angry, but she also felt a little guilty and expectant. It seemed that if Bai Ji mentioned this person and said it was the Empress Dowager, she would have an inexplicable emotion in her heart with nervousness and heartbeat. Is it joy, shame or sweetness.
"Besides this prince's unnamed lover, do you have anything else to say?" The Queen Mother thought it was ridiculous and asked quickly.
Of course Bai Ji had something else to say. Without mentioning the specific identity and name of the person she was interested in, she quickly narrated the twists and turns, ups and downs of the Crown Prince and Fairy Jiayun that she had figured out based on experience, with a little singing.
…
…
When Qin Shou'an woke up, it was unexpectedly late. The morning light was no longer light like a cloud, but penetrated the bamboo forest and hit the window line by line.
The light fell on the ground again and became spots of light, extending to the bed and falling on Qin Shou'an's face. His eyelashes blinked several times in succession before he squinted slightly and looked at the top of his head.
There was nothing on the top of the bed tent except for exquisite decorations. He felt that something was missing around him, and he felt like he was sleeping alone, so he turned his head.
The beauty who had spent the whole night happily disappeared without a trace, leaving the bed full of fragrance.
It's just that she seems to have been gone for a long time, and the light and refreshing fragrance is no longer charmingly warm, but has a somewhat lonely coolness.
Qin Shou'an sighed softly. He didn't know whether it was because he was bored or because he still had more to say. Many pictures appeared in his mind.
Facing the reality of lying alone in bed, he was in a daze. Did what happened last night really happen?
It's unbelievable.
Was he really... was he first designed to take something away from a great master, and then he semi-forcibly or inexplicably had to give something to a great master?
The master of Sun Moon Mountain.
As a disciple of the Tiandao Sect, I don’t feel that this name is a thunderous one, but think about it if the master knows about it...
The master might not mind at all that he was looking for flowers and having sex, but if he told her that he had pushed down the master of Riyue Mountain, Qin Shou'an really couldn't imagine the master's reaction and view of him.
Thinking like this, Qin Shouan slapped himself.
Since you care so much about Master's opinion, why didn't you think about Master before doing things last night?
Hmm... maybe Master will be proud of him? After all, he was challenging the Grand Master head-on with his eighth-grade peak power. Such a record would be considered astonishing even in the Tiandao Sect.
Thinking about all this mess, Qin Shou'an sat up straight, feeling hungry. He consumed a lot last night and had to go to the kitchen to have a big meal later.
He habitually circulated his Qi, but found that his body was empty.
This feeling immediately chilled his heart, and he quickly checked carefully, only to find that his true energy was no longer spreading throughout his body, nor was it wandering under his organs, bones, and skin.
They are completely condensed in the Dantian on the lower abdomen and the front midline at the meeting point of Zusanyin and Renmai.
Qin Shou'an stimulated the true energy in his body to travel. At this time, after they left the Dantian, they did not flow along the tangible body structure like when they stimulated the true energy. Instead, they were instantly distributed into countless acupuncture points in the body.
There is a small amount of true energy stored in each acupuncture point, which is weak but evenly distributed. It seems that if he generates true energy in the future, he can gradually store all the true energy in these acupuncture points.
"I...I'm about to break through to the ninth level?" Qin Shouan was pleasantly surprised.
You must know that before he returned to Longyin City, he had just reached the eighth-level peak... This peak was only the peak of the eighth-level master's combat power, but it did not mean that he was only a hair away from breaking through.
Under normal circumstances, he would temper his body at the peak of the eighth level, and the true energy generated in his body would be full before he could reach his current state - originally, with his talent, it would take at least a year.
Now after this night... Qin Shouan couldn't help but think of the reconciliation of yin and yang last night. Is this the reason?
Harmonizing the yin and yang with the woman from Riyue Mountain actually had such a miraculous effect. I wonder if that woman got the same benefits from him... If everyone has such benefits, we must communicate more in the future!
