Elder Tang's bronze carriage was parked in a luxurious and elegant manor outside Caixiang City, the capital of the Southern Medicine Kingdom.
The owner of this manor is named Yan, and naturally he is also a family with a jade card.
However, unlike Qian Chao and Li Jian's respective families, the Yan family did not serve as officials in the court, but they were regarded as the largest merchants in Nanyao Kingdom, and they could be said to be as rich as the country. Although they only focus on business, it does not mean that the Yan family has no roots in Nanyao Kingdom. Almost every emperor's concubine has the surname Yan.
At this time, the first election has ended, and a crowd of people in the dark manor are watching a little girl bowing down and saluting a young woman. The little girl knelt on the ground and hugged the young woman's legs, sobbing and unwilling to let go.
The young woman also lowered her head and wiped the tears on the little girl's face with the handkerchief.
Upon closer inspection, although the little girl was dressed in ordinary clothes and cried like a mess, her bright eyes, white teeth, and pink neck when she was crying showed that she was an out-and-out beauty.
After the little girl finished her salute, the young woman knelt down and gave her instructions again with tears in her eyes. Finally, she hugged her reluctantly, then gently pushed the little girl away and handed over a large bundle. go.
The little girl then reluctantly climbed into the bronze carriage holding the bundle.
During the whole process, the little girl didn't even look at the man next to the young woman, which made the man a little embarrassed.
Old Man Tang has been watching from the side. This little girl's name is Yanxuan. At the time of the first election, many children had no spiritual roots. Only this little girl's hand touched the jade Ruyi, and Ruyi suddenly turned red. It was so bright that the entire Yan family manor was shrouded in red, so frightened that Yan Xuan almost threw the jade Ruyi in his hand.
This Yanxuan spiritual root made Elder Tang a little surprised. Although it is not of excellent quality, the word "good" is appropriate. Children with excellent qualifications are hard to find, and those with good qualifications are also difficult to find. This time, he can Bringing such a little girl back to the sect is not a trip in vain.
But later, when Yanxuan hugged his mother and cried, Old Man Tang watched with cold eyes and briefly took a look at some things going on in the Yan family.
The man next to Yanxuan's mother must be Yanxuan's father. Judging from the fact that this man is not very old, but his steps are sloppy and his face looks tired, and coupled with the air of dissoluteness when walking, this man must be a drunkard and a womanizer. , I am afraid that I have been wiped out long ago.
Looking at Yanxuan's mother, the look on her face was filled with sadness, and she was afraid that it was not all because of her daughter's departure from home. It seems that her life in the Yan family has never been easy. After keeping such a husband and raising such an outstanding daughter, and now that her daughter is about to leave, the sorrow in this woman's heart is probably something that outsiders cannot understand.
As for the little girl Yanxuan, Mr. Tang can see that she is full of resentment towards the Yan family. This girl has good qualifications. When she returns to the Yan family in the future with her cultivation... alas, the Yan family is the Five Spirits after all. The families under Zong’s care should be reminded today.
Thinking of this, Old Man Tang turned around. Behind him was the head of the Yan family, an old man in his octogenarian years. Although he was old, his spirit was still strong and his body was still strong. He was bowing and following behind Old Man Tang respectfully. .
"Master Yan, I have something to say here that I hope you can listen to."
"Master Immortal, please speak," the head of the Nayan family immediately said respectfully.
"Originally, it is not convenient for me as an outsider to interfere in your family affairs. But as you saw during the election today, your granddaughter has very good qualifications and a good temperament. I believe that this child will definitely achieve great results in cultivation in the future."
Upon hearing this, the head of the Nayan family said happily: "Thank you so much, Master Immortal."
"Well, generally speaking, your family should be lucky to have such a child at home, but I see that the child is full of resentment and resentment. After the child practices for some years and has some magical powers, he will return to your Yan family in the future. I’m afraid it’s not your Yan family’s fault!”
The head of the Nayan family suddenly changed his expression after hearing this. He is the head of the family, so he naturally knows about the affairs of the family. His son is a bit incompetent. Of course he knows that the life of his daughter-in-law is difficult, but he is too lazy to take care of such things. Do you think you, the head of the family, should step in if your son and daughter-in-law don't get along?
But now that the daughter born and raised by the daughter-in-law was chosen by the immortal master, it was completely different.
The head of the Yan family was stunned and stuttered a little: "Master Immortal, what can...can you do?"
"It's hard to say. Although it won't make her do anything rebellious, she can take her mother away and tell the outside world that the Yan family has nothing to do with her anymore, or..."
When Mr. Tang said this, he glanced at the head of the Yan Yan family and continued.
"Or it's possible to take away your family's jade medal. And if that's true, she's a monk from your Yan family. Our sect can't interfere in this kind of thing, we can only rely on her. If that's true... "
"Ah!" The head of the Yan family stared dumbly at the bronze carriage parked in the courtyard. He had an impulse to get into the carriage and drag the girl back who had already entered.
"I estimate that in more than ten years, your granddaughter will have achieved success and will go home as a rule. At that time, as long as she eliminates her resentment, she is still your granddaughter after all. How can she do something right if she has her own mother here? What about things that are detrimental to the family?"
The head of the Yan family had remembered "more than ten years from now" based on Old Man Tang's words, and was thinking about whether he could live another dozen years.
"The person who ties the bell must untie it. If the person your granddaughter cares about can persuade her, your Yan family will certainly be fine."
Seeing that the head of the Yan family was stunned, Old Man Tang said something more clearly.
The head of the Nayan family is also a mature man, and he has already heard the flavor from the words of the old man Tang. Obviously, the immortal master had understood his own affairs, and he immediately saluted respectfully and said to Mr. Tang: "Thank you, the immortal master, for the advice. Please rest assured, the younger generation knows how to do it, and will not let my daughter-in-law suffer in the future." Even if she feels a little aggrieved, she will be compensated for the negligence of this junior over the years, so that my granddaughter will be filled with joy when she returns home."
Old Man Tang nodded and said: "I hope so. I don't want to see my sect disciples in trouble in the future. Okay, I will leave now, so you can take care of yourself."
After saying that, the old man boarded the bronze carriage and left.
Yanxuan's father breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the immortal master had boarded the carriage and left. Although he was a little unhappy at his daughter's indifference to him when he was saying goodbye, he did not dare to show up and could only Endure it, fortunately everything is over now, and now his heart has already become active.
Speaking of which, Yanxuan's father did not have a high status in the family because of his frivolous behavior, drunkenness and lust. He could not handle much of the Yan family's huge industry. Now his daughter has been chosen by the immortal master. Going to the fairy mountain to practice so that he can continue to protect the Yan family can be said to have made great contributions to the Yan family. With such merit, it seems that he can legitimately ask his father for several businesses and industries that he has long wanted to get involved in. wanted.
So he straightened his waist, held his head high and passed his brothers and walked towards the head of the Yan family. Normally he wouldn't dare to do this, but it was different now.
Arriving behind Master Yan, who was still in a daze, Yanxuan's father bowed and asked, "Dad, are you okay?"
When old man Tang was talking to the Yan family's head just now, the Yan family's head had his back turned to his family, so he did not see the change in the Yan family's expression.
The head of the Yan family was interrupted in his daze and turned around. When he saw clearly, he became furious and without saying a word, he turned around and slapped Yan Xuan hard on the face. The father turned around and fell to the ground, then covered his red and swollen face and stared blankly at his angry father.
Yanxuan was stunned as soon as she entered the car. Like Qian Chao, she thought the car was just to pick her up. After all, the car looked so small from the outside.
But as soon as she entered, she found that it was so spacious, many times larger than the largest hall in the Yan family. This strong sense of novelty almost made her forget the sadness of leaving her mother. After looking around for a moment, I realized that there were so many people inside, and so many faces turned to look at me.
Yanxuan has a gentle and easy-going personality, but tends to be shy and cowardly. When he saw so many people paying attention to him, his face turned red, and he hugged his baggage tightly and walked inside.
There were no seats near the entrance, and even Yanxuan did not dare to sit among a group of strangers. These people seemed to be sitting on straw futons. Seeing that there seemed to be a spacious place without anyone inside, Yanxuan made up his mind to go inside and find a place with few people to sit down.
"Hey!" Suddenly a little girl turned around and called her with an unhappy look on her face.
The little girl and several other little girls were sitting around chatting. When Yanxuan walked by, his sight was blocked by the baggage in his hand, so he stepped on the little girl's skirt.
"Ah? What's going on?" Yanxuan still didn't know what happened. She just felt that she was new here and was about to be bullied, which made her very nervous.
"You stepped on my skirt!" The little girl had already judged Yanxuan's origins from her clothes, so she scolded her unceremoniously.
Only then did Yanxuan realize that he had offended the person first, and apologized hurriedly: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" After saying that, without waiting for the other person to say anything, he quickly walked inside as if running away.
"Really!" The little girl looked unhappy and muttered dissatisfiedly, "Don't you open your eyes when you walk?"
Yanxuan didn't dare to talk back at all, so he could only think of taking a few steps.
Now she could somewhat understand that in this magical carriage like a hall, the people sitting on the left side were all girls, and the people sitting on the right side were all boys, about the same age as her. Those people followed her steps and turned to look at her. At home, Yanxuan has been bullied by her brothers and sisters, so so many children now make her feel panicked. She just wants to find a place to sit down quickly and stop attracting so much attention. .
There are fewer people on the left than on the right, and you can reach the end in just a few steps, but at the end there is a boy sitting there playing chess with a little girl opposite.
This made Yanxuan a little surprised. Why did he run into a group of girls? He was definitely not someone to be trifled with. There were several older cousins in Yanxuan's family who liked to bully the maids in the house every day. The guy is probably the same, so stay away from him. At this time, the boy looked up at her, and the little girl in a lake blue dress opposite him also looked back at her. This made her even more panicked, and she quickly lowered her head and hurried past.
But the sole of her foot stepped on something. It was not big, very hard and slippery. One foot suddenly slipped forward, and her body lost its center of gravity and fell backwards, causing her to let out a cry of surprise. But she stopped halfway down. She felt that she was being hugged by someone, which made her even more embarrassed. But she remembered that the boy playing chess was behind her. If she was hugged by a boy like this, she would still be alive. Not alive? When she hurriedly struggled to stand firm and looked again with a blushing face, she felt relieved. It turned out to be the little girl in the lake blue dress who came to help her when she saw she was about to fall.
"Thank you, girl." Yanxuan quickly thanked the little girl.
The little girl glanced at Yanxuan with her big eyes for a few times before saying with a smile: "Sister, are you okay? Are you not scared?"
"No, thank you very much." Yanxuan said quickly.
"It's all his fault! He was the one who threw the chess pieces around."
The little girl pointed with her hand at the little boy who was still sitting there.
Only then did Yanxuan realize that he had stepped on a chess piece. The white chess pieces were very conspicuous, but the black chess pieces were not so obvious on the ground. Why was there a broken chess board on the ground?
The boy rolled his eyes at being referred to as throwing chess pieces.
"Sister, don't go in there. There's no one inside. It's boring to be alone. Just sit here. We can talk together and we won't be bored. By the way, sister, can you play chess? Come and help me if you can. This guy is very good. It’s amazing, you’ve beaten me in several games.”
As she said that, the little girl couldn't help but pull Yanxuan to sit next to her, and also pulled a futon and put her luggage on it.
This little girl looked a few years younger than him, so she was not intimidating. Yanxuan was pulled to sit down. She can play chess, but after watching it for a while, she found that the two people played chess better than herself, so she didn't intend to interrupt at all.
The little girl was playing chess and chatting with herself, but she didn't feel bored at all. But after all, he was traveling far away from home. He was initially uneasy and reluctant to leave home. Gradually, after thinking about his thoughts for a while, Yanxuan felt tired. He leaned against a pillar behind him and fell asleep with his head tilted. .
Qian Chao found Tang Ping very interesting. When he first came in, he was bullied by the Fourth Young Master of Wei and was very embarrassed, so Tang Ping pulled him over. Later, so many people came in, but she ignored them. It was not until the young lady named Yan came in that she was very embarrassed and was pulled over by her. This little girl Tang's little thoughts are really... Thinking of this, he glanced at Tang Ping and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
This glance was noticed by Tang Ping. She noticed Qian Chao's evil smile. She knew that his thoughts were being seen through, so she didn't care. She said, "You told me a lot of truth. I have to try it before I know whether it's right or not." .”
"Bang!" Qian Chao shushed her and deliberately stared at the few freckles on both sides of Tang Ping's nose.
"What are you looking at?" Of course Tang Ping knew what Qian Chao was looking at. She waved her hand with some embarrassment and dismissed Qian Chao's gaze, "Play chess!"
