North Side.

This is the most prosperous area of the city, not only because it is home to several rather prosperous commercial squares, but also as a financial district where international trade meets, and of course, most importantly, a huge family stationed in this area.

Xue family.

It is rumored that the Xue family secretly controls all the economic lifelines of Beicheng, whether it is food, clothing, housing, transportation, large or small, everything has the shadow of the Xue Consortium.

The owners of those bustling commercial plazas are also members of the Xue family.

This Xue family head Xue Guangqi, the old man Xue, is naturally also a well-known figure.

In the early years, I heard that I followed my son to run a sand and gravel shipping business, and later made a small fortune, set up a factory, and the business became bigger and bigger.

After two generations of hard work, this wealth has accumulated like a snowball, which is what it is today. Xue Guangqi has 2 sons and a daughter.

It's a pity that the eldest son, Xue Long, was not born to do business, but he is very bold, especially about the righteousness of the rivers and lakes, especially in Beicheng, and he is especially mixed in Beicheng, and black and white people give him face.

But this business is different from mixing rivers and lakes after all, and the old man has never entrusted any industry to him to manage.

This Xue Long is also a straightforward person, he also knows that he is not that material, now it's good, he is not optimistic about himself, then he is happy.

Although he is nearly 50 years old, he is playful by nature, especially fond of chess and mahjong, and leads a group of brothers around every day to play around, feeling not like a big man, but like a second ancestor who does not learn and has no skills.

The second daughter, Xue Tianyu, has been as crystal clear and flawless as jade since she was a child.

By the time I graduated from college, it had become an interesting survey for the people of the city, and I ranked first in the survey of the woman I wanted to marry the most.

But born in a wealthy family, marriage will more or less have some other colors, and it can't be as it should be, and the same is true for Xue Tianyu, but fortunately, what his father found for him was a noble son of a high-ranking official, and his character and appearance made Xue Tianyu very satisfied.

After the two met under the arrangement of their parents, they quickly fell in love.

But the most amazing thing is the third son of Old Man Xue, Xue Hongde.

The Xue family was a famous family a long time ago, dating back to the Tang and Song dynasties, and at that time, they were not just doing business and making a living.

And it's mostly some weird strange techniques.

Relying on a series of thaumaturgy such as fortune, divination, calculus, feng shui, etc., they climbed many high-ranking officials and nobles.

Even had a lot of dealings with the royal family, until the end of the Ming Dynasty, because of offending another family with great power at that time, the family was exiled, and a group of old and young people moved up with the Yangtze River basin, until they gradually settled near the city.

And the reason why their family offended the nobles was also because of this strange technique, and the old lady Xue at that time even lost his two daughters, and he was very remorseful.

He burned most of these ancient books and classics, and then started to make a living.

Some people can't bear to lose this secret technique, so they secretly hide some ancient books, and leave books, if future generations are really in trouble, they can read the ancient books again to find the answer.

This Xue Hongde, a returnee doctor of finance, has a good appearance, a burly figure, a surprisingly good mind, is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and is the honorary president of the Municipal Calligraphy Association.

The outside world is also quite optimistic about these three sons. But this Xue Hongde, for some reason, turned out to be on the wrong side, and like his eldest brother, he had no interest in this huge family business.

He loves to read, when he was young, when he returned to his hometown to worship his ancestors, he accidentally turned out a bunch of ancient books and classics left by one of his ancestors, and it can be seen that these estimates are not the first books, they have been reloaded and handed down after countless excerpts, and the records are all about some gods and ghosts.

These ordinary people can only laugh and laugh, and when they are books to read, they seem to be enchanted, and they are immersed in reading all day long.

It's really an ancient book with a spirit, and I met a strange person like Xue Hongde.

The techniques of those strange doors depicted in the ancient books actually penetrated by themselves, and no one pointed them out, and they actually entered the door by themselves, and now the Xue family is not only a business giant, but in the dark, Xue Hongde's name is also resounding throughout the country.

"Can you stop for a moment?" Yan Qi couldn't help it, and interrupted loudly: "You have been talking about storytelling for several hours in a row, can you rest?"

The interrupted man was a tall man, probably close to 60 years old, with a small head, a slender figure, and two neatly trimmed white mustaches on his face, which looked a little funny, and he was in a meeting room, receiving the two of them.

But this reception is enough for the two of them to listen to the brief history of the Xue family.

"The origin of the Xue family, how can I tell you about it in a while. ”

With that, the man got up and poured Yan Qi another cup of tea.

And this is the living room on the top floor of the Xue Building.

Completed the year before, the building is a huge and costly project, with a total of 50 floors, not a single building, surrounded by four annex buildings, and four 30-storey towers surrounding the main building.

The main building has a passage that can lead to the annex building, which faces the southeast, northwest and northwest, and from the middle of the passage, you can also see the most beautiful scenery in all directions of Y City, which is not careless.

It is said that because of the relationship between the Xue family, this building also invited an architect who built the residence of the supreme leader to participate in the design, and the whole building complex has a unique feng shui meaning in it.

"Okay, okay, Steward Zhong, I know that your Xue family has a big business and is awesome. Yan Qi once again interrupted the middle-aged man's knowledge popularization.

"When will we see Old Man Xue. ”

The housekeeper surnamed Zhong was interrupted for the second time, but he didn't have any displeasure, he smiled slightly, looking at Yan Qi and Bai Ran, this smile seemed to reveal the wisdom and sophistication of an older man.

"The two little dolls, I'm really impatient, the master is still dealing with some things, and he didn't say how long it will take. ”

Yan Qi was embarrassed, could this be a matter of patience, this suddenly asked someone to pick him up, and then he didn't see anyone, so the housekeeper came out and spoke here for more than half an hour.

Can this be called impatient?
