On the afternoon of this day, on the way back to Minghua Garden after following the fifth master and the fifth lady to the ancestral hall, Feng Jiu Kite hugged the fifth lady and asked, "Mother, I have a question I don't know whether to ask or not." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

The fifth lady smiled with affection, "Tell me about it." ”

"Let's just say that this immortal cultivator, the ancestor was the first generation of the Ouyang family thousands of years ago, how many years did he cultivate before he became an immortal?"

"According to the historical records of my Ouyang family, the first generation of the head of the family was talented, had excellent spiritual roots, and had a strong understanding, so it took less than five hundred years to ascend to the spirit realm, and it took less than four hundred years to ascend to the immortal realm. ”

"Nine hundred years?!" Feng Jiu Kite's eyes widened in astonishment, he didn't expect that a mortal would have to go through such a long period of painstaking cultivation to become an immortal!, "So the second and third generations of family masters haven't ascended yet?"

"The second generation of the head of the family has flown to the spirit world, and the third generation of the head of the family is still alive on earth. ”

"Then since the third-generation head of the family is still in the world, why don't you continue to take charge of the Ouyang family's business, but choose the fourth-generation head of the family?"

"This is the rule of the Ouyang family, every three hundred years, a new head of the family must be elected to replace the head of the previous generation, and the head of the previous generation will stay away from mundane affairs and go to the Tianxu Mountain, which is closest to the spirit world, to cultivate. ”

I see! Feng Jiu Kite thought about it, it turned out that the entrance to the spirit world was near Tianxu Mountain. But she has a question, looking at the appearance of the fifth master, he is almost sixty or seventy, and there are two younger sisters under the fifth master, could it be said that they were born by the third-generation wife of the head of the family on Tianxu Mountain? This lady gave birth to seven before and after, and these two masters are more than two hundred years older than the fifth master, tsk!

The fifth lady sighed: "Alas, seeing that the election date of the fifth generation of the head of the family is coming! Zixian followed his father, he has excellent talent, and he is the eldest son, I am afraid that he is the head of the family!"

The fifth master glanced at her, "It has nothing to do with us who will be the head of this family, anyway, it won't be our turn to Hongchu, let alone Fu'er!"

The Hongchu in his mouth refers to their eldest son, Ouyang Hongchu, who is the seventh in the family. When I went to the ancestral hall before, the fifth lady mentioned that she had gone out to practice, and I was afraid that she would not be able to return until the next year. I don't know if I will come back before the selection of the head of the family.

"How is the selection of the head of the family carried out?" Feng Jiu Kite was slightly interested.

"There are three contents in the selection of the head of the family, that is, literature, martial arts, and morality. Wen not only relies on talent, but also tests business strategy. And martial arts, in addition to the competition, must also pass the trial. Virtue is high morality and respect, winning the hearts of the people. These three questions are written by the elders of the family, and then submitted to the head of the family for review and approval, and finally the entire family members do the evaluation, and select the best person to serve as the head of the family. The fifth old man said.

"Oh!" Feng Jiu Yuan was shocked in his heart, he didn't expect to be so cautious in choosing a family master, no wonder this Ouyang family could last for more than a thousand years!

Xian'er listened silently beside Feng Jiu Kite, understanding this big family that was related to her bit by bit.

……

The next day, Ouyang Ming came to Xian'er early in the morning with great interest, saying that he had promised her to take her to buy sugar gourds yesterday. Xian'er looked at Feng Jiu Kite and said, "Sister, then I'll go out to play!"

Feng Jiu bowed his head, saw them out of Minghua Garden, said to the fifth master and the fifth lady, and then walked out of Minghua Garden and walked around the mansion casually.

Beside her, the fifth lady arranged to serve her closely, one is called Qi Yue, the other is called Qi Xin, one is a melon seed face with small apricot eyes, the bridge of the nose is straight, the other is a round face and big eyes, the bridge of the nose is slightly collapsed, but the smile is very cute.

She glanced at the two of them and said, "I'll just walk around at will, you go and do your business, you don't need to accompany me." ”

Qi Yue and Qi Xin glanced at each other, and Qi Yue said, "Miss, Madam arranged for us to serve Miss, except for serving Miss, we have nothing else to do." ”

So idle, Feng Jiu Yuan smiled, "Then you guys go play!"

When the two maids heard this, they knelt down in fear, "Miss, the slave doesn't dare!"

Feng Jiu Yuan was so frightened that she took a step back and said with a sneer: "I didn't say anything about you, why do you kneel at every turn?"

Seeing that the two maids still looked terrified, she thought for a while and said, "Then why don't you go out of the house and buy me something to eat?"

"What does Mademoiselle want to eat?"

"Hmm...... Buy whatever is delicious!" Feng Jiu Yuan smiled and took out a bag of silver coins from the storage ring.

The two maids took it, "Miss, then we'll go first." ”

"Well, go ahead!"

After the maids left, Feng Jiu Kite continued to wander around, enjoying the passing scenery while pondering something.

Last night, she asked Qi Yue and Qi Xin about the garden where the lords lived, and they said that there were a total of five gardens in the Ouyang Mansion, the second master lived in Lanhua Garden, the third master was Yonghua Garden, the fourth master was Jinghua Garden, and the fifth master was Minghua Garden. Uninhabited? Could this be the garden of the great lord Ouyang Yudong.

After walking around the house for a long time, I finally figured out the specific location of the first few gardens, but after looking for a long time, I didn't see this Ninghua Garden.

Just when I was wondering, a faint sound of percussion came from the east, listening like the sound of chopsticks and cups, and then, there was a burst of singing, vaguely like singing: the warm smoke of spring wakes up in Wushan, the tea guests come to the east to discuss leisure, the fragrant tea and Zhu are in the breeze, and the smell of heaven is in the world......

This voice is very good, like the singing that Feng Jiu Kite and Xian'er vaguely heard outside the tea shop when they first came to Quxian City the day before yesterday, and they couldn't help but feel a little interested, and followed the sound to go.

In front of Yonghua Garden, Feng Jiu Kite stopped and looked at the plaque on the garden, this is the garden of the third master, and the song came from inside.

It's just that without permission, it doesn't seem appropriate to walk in rashly, and Lord Yan Luo also said that the third master family in Ouyang Mansion is the most difficult to mess with, but dealing with it always has to be fought, and she has to understand and approach everyone here in order to find out the news about the eldest master faster.

Thinking of this, he walked in. When I walked in, I realized how big this Yonghua Garden was, it was almost twice as big as the Fifth Master's Minghua Garden! She didn't even bump into a servant along the way.

She followed the sound to a separate courtyard, in the center of which was a flower bed in which red, blue, yellow, and green flowers vied with each other. There are vermilion lacquer corridors on all sides, and the curtains on the corridors are only half rolled. On one side hangs a birdcage, in which a golden long-tailed bird is hanging upside down on the crossbar, its beak sticking into its wings, as if it is sleeping soundly.

Feng Jiu Kite had just arrived, and the singing and percussion stopped. The young man who sang the song sat in the corridor opposite Feng Jiu Kite, looking at her in confusion, his appearance was delicate and handsome, and his eyes were bright.
