Fan Zhenshan looked at Fan Xiaoran and his grandfather with a blank gaze, and muttered blankly: "Why is this happening? "The grandfather, who has been acting perversely and domineering for many years, would say such a low-voiced and embarrassing words. even promised to apologize in public.

Fan Xiaoran's image in front of his grandson for many years collapsed like an avalanche, and the monstrous snow waves that stirred up slammed him on the bone-chilling glacier, and the tens of millions of catties of snow overwhelmed him. During the three or two breaths that Fan Zhenshan was distracted, the mana went against the grain and ran suddenly, and after a muffled cough, he came back to his senses, and the injuries that had been suppressed immediately worsened, and the qi and blood were retrograde, and a mouthful of blood suddenly spit out, and the breath around his body immediately weakened by three percent.

"Zhenshan!"

Fan Xiaoran stepped out and already appeared on Fan Zhenshan's side, pressing Fan Zhenshan's shoulder with one palm, stroking Fan Zhenshan's chest with the other, and outputting mana with both hands to help Fan Zhenshan, who was almost crazy, calm his breath and smooth the strange fluctuations of mana. The mana of the same origin was slowly injected into his body, and Fan Zhenshan's face was no longer as pale as it was just now, but his body and words seemed to have no strength.

Fan Zhenshan asked thoughtlessly, "Why, grandpa?"

Fan Xiaoran's face was calm and he didn't respond too much, just looked at Fan Zhenshan and said calmly: "Zhenshan, it's okay." It's not what you think, go back with me, it's important to recuperate. ”

Fan Zhenshan shook his head, sighed, nodded again, and stood up with Fan Xiaoran's support. The children of the Fan family who were serving next to him hurriedly took over and supported Fan Zhenshan from left to right. Even after handing it over to the clansmen, Fan Xiaoran still stretched out a hand. Firmly hold Fan Zhenshan's heart.

"The old man is the ancestor of the Fan family, so naturally he is difficult to chase after him, and his words are loud. Tomorrow, the Fan family will send someone who can talk to the Chen family to apologize in public to Ding's predecessor Chen Xiaozi and other Chen family members, and then the apology will be sent to the Chen family. Fan Xiaoran glanced at Chen Rulie, who was about to speak, and continued: "Boy Chen, don't refuse, it should be so. Come to think of it, in the past few years, the lack of discipline in the Fan family is indeed a little too arrogant and domineering, and the four families in Syracuse City are one family after all. ”

Chen Rulie opened his mouth, but finally did not pick up the conversation.

"The day after tomorrow, I will personally come and invite Senior Ding to my Fan's house as a guest. After Fan Xiaoran finished speaking, he turned to look at Ding Qiuyuan, who was still standing outside the main hall, and said, "Senior Ding, what do you think of this arrangement?"

"Yes, I'm satisfied. ”

"Well, we'll see you the day after tomorrow. Fan Xiaoran hugged Ding Qiuyuan and said.

"Let's go, go home. Fan Xiaoran took the lead in leaving the Chen family hall, followed by Fan Zhenshan and a group of Fan family children who were supported by the two. Out of the gate of the Chen Mansion, everyone boarded the Fan family horses who had been waiting early and left quickly.

"The words have been finished by Fan Daoyou, so let's do what he said. What to do, such as Lie you weigh it yourself. Ding Qiu said from afar.

"Yes, Senpai. Chen Rulie replied.

"Brother Fang, I haven't seen you for a long time, it's been a hundred and ten years. Ding Qiuyuan laughed, strode towards Fang Ling, and with a wave of his hand, he put his arm around Fang Ling's shoulder, and said, "I didn't know that you would stay in Snow City, otherwise I would have asked you for a drink when I came." ”

"Brother Ding laughed, if Chen Xiaozi had informed me earlier, you are in the Chen family, I would have to come to you a long time ago, how can you let you find the younger brother first. Stay for a while longer this time, Boss Chen, a cultivator, you are a long way away, and there is not even a person who is drunk together in this huge Snow City. Fang Ling also put his backhand around Ding Qiuyuan's shoulders and replied enthusiastically.

"I can live for a short time, but my newly accepted apprentice needs to be sent back to the sect within half a year to participate in the sect's apprenticeship ceremony, otherwise it is okay to stay here for a year or two. ”

"Boy Chen, good wine and good food are served, and you Grandpa Fang and I want to get together. The other irrelevant people are scattered, dispersed. Ding Qiuyuan waved his hand to everyone in the hall.

"Yes, Senpai. Chen Rulie hugged his fists and bowed, beckoned the attendants to send Fang Heng's two families to the door, and hurriedly arranged wine and food, and even sent someone to Snow City, and bought a lot of snow burnt red to personally give to Ding Qiuyuan and Fang Ling, who were arranging to change the cup in the other garden.

This night, the squire's shops in Syracuse City were constantly transmitting news from all kinds of underground, and they were all going crazy.

Fan Xiaoran, the ancestor of the Fan family, was defeated, and the Fan family needed to apologize to the Chen family in public and even compensate according to his promise. The news was indeed very shocking on this day, and a group of businessmen secretly wondered to themselves: Could it be that the Fan family's strength is no longer enough to occupy the position of the four major families? The Chen family wants to be the dominant family? How should they survive and switch to the Chen family?

It was a sleepless night for many Syracusens.

On this side, Ding Qiuyuan threw down his life and talked to Fang Ling about wine, but Chen Rulie invited his life to another courtyard. Although the Chen family has an old friendship with Ding Qiuyuan, the reward that should be paid is not bad. First, Chen Rulie forcibly broke through and had a secret injury, and he still hoped that Ding Qiuyuan, the master of the pill, could diagnose and treat him, and secondly, if the ancestor of the Chen family could take that step, the ensuing pressure would be absolutely extraordinary.

Chen Rulie is not a philistine, and neither is Ding Qiuyuan. What Chen Rulie could think of, it was impossible for Ding Qiuyuan and Fang Ling not to think of it. Now that Ding Qiuyuan is the first to show goodwill, Chen Rulie certainly needs to repay the favor, even if it seems to be an idle move now, it is difficult to say whether it will become an unreasonable move in the future.

Under the leadership of the maidservant of the Chen family, he turned left and right all the way to a quiet courtyard. On the way, the maidservant walked in front of her with a lantern with bright yellow firelight, but her mind unconsciously drifted to the life behind her. This mysterious little brother is obviously a close person to the extraordinary Mr. Ding, and the head of the family has reminded him that he must be entertained well during this time.

The maidservants of the Chen family are not like ordinary people, and their ability to observe words and emotions is much more clever than worry-free life. In her opinion, this fateful son looks beautiful and has an extraordinary identity, but along the way, he seems to be dazzled by some new things in the Chen Mansion, which is not quite like the so-called rich and noble family background. In terms of etiquette rules, except for the decent fist salute, I don't seem to understand anything, and it can even be said that it is full of earthy atmosphere.

Of course, these are just the thoughts of the maidservant, and she does not dare not wait to see the honored guests of the head of the house.

When she arrived at the gate of the courtyard, the little maidservant knocked on the door. Soon Chen Rulie opened the door, and the little maid gave a blessing to Chen Rulie who was standing in the door, and said softly: "The master of the family, the son is here." ”

"Okay, I have something to talk about with my little brother, and I'll wait outside the door when I send some tea and snacks. ”

"Yes. After receiving the order, the little maid gave a salute to the fate and slowly retreated.

"Little brother, please!" Chen Rulie held the door with his left hand and waved his right hand.

"Then bother. He bowed with his fists and raised his leg to cross the threshold as much as he could.

Chen Rulie looked left and right at the door, and after nightfall, the hazy moonlight was lightly sprinkled, and he closed the door without any abnormality, turned around and entered the house.

Just after Chen Rulie closed the door, it was three or five breaths. On a large tree estimated eighty steps away from the courtyard, a figure jumped down. "Sure enough, it's you, if you don't have a great favor to our Chen family now, see if I can't clean you up, hum!" the pitch-black figure muttered resentfully as he scratched the trunk of the tree with his hand. Suddenly, when he heard something to the east, he dodged behind the big tree, and the little maid who had just been called to serve tea and pour water came back with tea and snacks.

Seeing that the maid would not leave for a while, the pitch-black voice hunched her waist and slowly left secretly around the flowerbed and shrubs adjacent to the big tree.

Life worry-free didn't talk to Chen Rulie for long in the courtyard, so he was sent to the gate of the courtyard by Chen Rulie all the way, and returned to another residence arranged by the Chen family under the leadership of the little maid. The difference is that when the boy left, he had an extra copper-gray ring on his left index finger.

All kinds of people who got the news, rushed to the excitement, and had thoughts in their hearts, came to the vicinity of the Chen family's mansion early. I want to see what it is like for the Fan family, one of the four families, to apologize to the Chen family, who are also the four major families. Fortunately, the Chen family has rich experience in dealing with people and things, and organized many Chen family disciples to maintain order around the mansion with long sticks in their hands. The people who came to see the excitement were also afraid of the prestige of the Chen family, and did not dare to push and coax indiscriminately.

The crowd gathered more and more, and they all looked at both ends of the avenue in front of the Chen family's mansion with anticipation. Finally, at the end of the road, at the west end of the road, a procession of chariots and horses slowly approached. To say, the Fan family is also worthy of being the controller of the southern city of Syracuse, and the convoy that keeps coming is mighty. All of the horses are wild horses domesticated from here in the North, with high heads and large forehead muscles. All the cavalry are dressed in strong and stubborn military appearance, and the carriage pulled by pack horses is also the unique snow-capped yellow wood of the Northern Regions, which is sturdy and durable, and is worth a lot!

The leading commander pulled the reins, and the horses under the seat stood up, and the convoy finally stopped in front of the Chen Mansion.

The curtain of the largest carriage in the middle of the team was lifted, and Fan Zhenshan, the head of the Fan family, slowly stepped out of the carriage with the support of his subordinates. Passing through the convoy and through the surrounding crowd, Fan Zhenshan led several sons of the Fan family to the gate of the Chen Mansion.

"I, Fan Zhenshan, the contemporary head of the Fan family, led the Fan family to come to the Chen family's mansion to apologize to Chen Rulie, the head of the Chen family, Mr. Yueqing, and other disciples of the Chen family, and beg the Chen family to forgive!" Fan Zhenshan, who was still a little pale but had no major problems, pushed away Fan Jing, who was holding him, and bowed to the end with both hands in fists.

The gate of the Chen Mansion slowly opened, and Chen Rulie led the old children of the Chen family to cross the gate. Chen Rulie, who was the leader, walked forward quickly, came to Fan Zhenshan in three steps and two steps, and helped Fan Zhenshan up with both hands who didn't want to be completely unpretentious: "Brother Zhenshan, don't be like this, the four families in Snow City are always a family, even if there are some suspicions, they can be completely made up." ”

"Brother Lie, the younger brother has always had a temper, and he has been offended many times over the years. If you don't forgive me, how can I have the face to get up? Fan Zhenshan's posture of clenching his fists remained unchanged, looking like I wouldn't agree if you don't forgive me.

"Zhenshan, Syracuse was a four-family Snow City in the past, and it will still be a four-family Snow City in the future. Blame me for not taking care of your face when I was just trying to use myself before. Chen Rulie was surprised to see Fan Zhenshan who was so sincere, and had to use all his mana to gather his hands to help Fan Zhenshan up.

"With my brother's words, I went home and gave an explanation to my grandfather. Fan Zhenshan got up and whispered to Chen Rulie. The two stood side by side, as if they had returned to their youth, and greeted the crowd of onlookers.
