On New Year's Day, the first day of the year, Lao Jiang's family held a lively ceremony to recognize their ancestors and return to their clan.
When Jiang Qi's grandfather Jiang Shouzheng solemnly wrote Bao'er's name on the family tree, Jiang Shouzhen burst into tears.
He is obviously the top mysterious cultivator in Kyushu, but in the end he is still a human being, and a human being has seven emotions and six desires.
Jiang Shouzhen, who has been wandering for decades, wants the most is to recognize his ancestor and return to his clan.
Bao'er, on the other hand, was stunned as he looked at the names on the family tree.
"The grandson of the Jiang family's Yin Shou Zhen, the grandson of the Jiang family Yin Ning, because his grandfather served the country abroad, he was only included in the family tree at the age of fourteen."
Jiang Qi softly read out the ink that was not yet dry, and handed the entire family tree to Bao'er at the side under the surprised gazes of other elders.
"Go ahead and put the family tree in front of the ancestor's tablet. Such a beautiful girl should be recognized by the ancestors."
Jiang Qi pushed Bao'er, who was a little dazed.
To be honest, this is a bit rude. If we follow the old rules, this time when it is included in the family tree is also the only time that Bao'er is allowed to enter the ancestral hall.
But now, Jiang Qi asked Bao'er to re-establish the family tree. Jiang Qi should be responsible for this, because he is the eldest grandson of the Jiang family.
Jiang Qi looked around and smiled at the elders. His meaning was very simple. From now on, this is my biological sister. The old rules should not be applied to her.
Some elders looked unhappy. If Jiang Qi did this, what would happen to the other Jiang family girls?
"Da da."
The grandmother with the highest seniority in the Jiang family stood up on a walking stick, moved step by step to the ancestral tablet, and taught Bao'er how to burn incense with gentle words.
This time, everyone was silent.
There is a saying that goes well, the youngest son and the grandson are the lifeblood of the ancestors.
Although this is the uncle's grandma, Jiang Shou has been taking care of his son since he was young. Over the past few decades, looking at Jiang Qi is no different from caring for his grandson.
There were still a few people standing outside the ancestral hall.
Gu Qingyun looked at Bao'er with a hint of envy in her eyes.
"I took a sneak peek and found that there was nothing next to Jiang Qi's name on the family tree."
Zhang Ningniu on the side poked Gu Qingyun's waist teasingly and said quietly.
The one left vacant was naturally the name of Jiang Qi's future wife.
Gu Qingyun said nothing.
Just one location
"Wow, you're not thinking about writing your name on it at some point, are you?"
Zhang Ning had a joking smile on her face and said, "I just want to tell you that at least this guy doesn't have a baby kiss."
"screw you."
Gu Qingyun rolled her eyes.
Lao Qian looked on with a smile, holding large and small packages of gifts in his hands.
After the Jiang family came out of the ancestral hall, the other elders had almost left, and Lao Qian came up to greet them.
"Two old men, Boss Jiang and Jiang Qi, happy New Year."
Lao Qian handed the large and small bags to Jiang Qi, and then bowed his hands.
Gu Qingyun and Zhang Ning on the side also greeted him with blessings.
"Okay, okay, everything is fine."
Jiang Shouzheng and his brother looked at each other, then they both looked at Gu Qingyun, and each of them took out a big red envelope.
"Daughter, don't dislike it, take it."
"Thank you, Grandpa, Grandpa."
Lu Qingyun spoke a little fast, and the prefix "ginger" that should have been hidden was hidden.
"Hahahahaha!"
Jiang Shouzheng naturally would not miss this detail, and his smile was so happy.
A mature person will naturally not forget Zhang Ning beside him. Although he doesn't know him, a red envelope is easy to get.
"Old Qian, is something wrong? And it's not a big deal."
Jiang Qi weighed the gift in his hand. It would definitely not be a trivial matter that could make Lao Qian bleed.
"It's not a big deal, it's just troublesome. Otherwise, I wouldn't be so shameless as to visit you on New Year's Day."
Lao Qian scratched his head and looked at Jiang Shouzhen.
"Let's talk at home."
Jiang Shouzhen naturally knew what Lao Qian meant, so he waved his hand and took the lead in walking towards home.
When they got home, Jiang Qi's mother took Lu Qingyun and Bao'er to the bedroom to chat. Zhang Ning followed him shamelessly while flipping through the red envelope.
Jiang Hong and Jiang Shouzheng also left the living room and went to another room to play chess.
Only Jiang Qi, Jiang Shouzhen and Lao Qian were left.
"What's the matter? Tell me."
Jiang Qi lazily slumped on the sofa and asked curiously.
"There's not enough staff."
Lao Qian gave a wry smile and said: "During the New Year, there is a huge population flow, and Jizhou is a continent that exports people. During the New Year, many migrant workers return to their hometowns, and supernatural crimes are often banned."
"So now in the Jizhou branch, I have even sent the old man from the reception room to the field."
"I am the only permanent resident in the entire bureau."
After Jiang Qi heard this, he asked with interest: "So, Lao Qian, do you want me to join you?"
"right."
Lao Qian nodded and said, "In the past few days, I visited all the qualified casual cultivators in Jizhou, but there are still not enough manpower, and those casual cultivators can only be used temporarily."
Jiang Shouzhen raised his eyelids, knowing what Lao Qian meant.
After all, casual cultivators are used to being undisciplined, and they often follow orders once they have the power.
"You want me to go out and suppress the casual cultivators, and then arrange for Qi'er and Bao'er to go out on the field, right?"
"What you said is absolutely correct. This is what this junior thinks."
Lao Qian rubbed his hands and said with a flattering smile: "Now I wish I could break one person in half and use it. I really don't have the energy to keep an eye on the overall situation. I have no choice but to shamelessly beg you to help me share the burden."
"It's no problem for me, since it's the country's need, so it's my duty to do it. After all, I also have a position in the military."
Jiang Shouzhen nodded and agreed happily, but the implication was also very simple.
I am a staff member myself, so I naturally have to handle tasks, but my eldest grandson and granddaughter are not. They have to be beneficial.
"Don't worry, just take whatever the bureau has!"
Lao Qian directly pointed out the topic, looked at Jiang Qi, and said: "Besides you two brothers and sisters, I have one thing to ask of you."
"Changbai Mountain?"
Jiang Qi knew what Lao Qian wanted as soon as he heard it.
"That's right, the family immortals on Changbai Shang, I hope you can talk to them and send someone to help. Of course, it won't be in vain."
Lao Qian nodded happily.
"Make a list of the rewards you have prepared."
Jiang Qi nodded and said.
"At this."
Lao Qian was well prepared and took out a reward list that was so generous that even Jiang Shouzhen raised eyebrows.
The current Mystery Bureau does not lack resources at all, but it lacks trustworthy manpower.
There are at least two Xuanxiu in each small town, and even more in the counties, cities and provinces above. This number is simply overwhelming for the old money.
"My arrangement is this. The old man will sit in charge of the Jizhou Mysterious Bureau and coordinate the overall situation. You two brothers and sisters plus Gu Qingyun and Zhang Ning will guard Xuecheng!"
