The family chatted happily in the living room, and soon there were waves of guests coming to congratulate, most of the guests were the shopkeepers and stewards of the shops under the name of Tian Yuanwai, as well as some of his relatives and friends, who had something very important to announce at his grandson's birthday banquet, so he would notify so many people to come. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Most of those shopkeepers and stewards Zhao Lengfei saw for the first time, under the introduction of his grandfather, he greeted these guests one by one, Zhao Lengfei always had a straight face when he was with other children, showing a cold expression, but in front of his grandfather, he still tried to make himself act like a child.

The guests all brought gifts to Zhao Lengfei, large and small gift boxes were almost all placed in the living room, Zhao Lengfei was a little puzzled when he saw this, and he didn't understand why his grandfather invited so many people, but he didn't ask his grandfather, but tried his best to show his sensible appearance to deal with these guests.

Zhao Lengfei is already very familiar with the etiquette of Dashengguo, he has done a very good job of addressing and etiquette of guests, and guests occasionally ask him some questions, and Zhao Lengfei can also answer them fluently, and his performance is impeccable.

When the guests saw that Zhao Lengfei had such talent and mind at such an age, they sighed in their hearts: What a tiger father without a dog, maybe when he grows up, he will be even higher than his father's achievements, and his children and grandchildren are simply different from others.

There are more and more guests, and the topic of conversation has shifted from homely to business and some recent anecdotes of Dashengguo, Zhao Lengfei did not interject, he sat obediently on the chair next to him, and his favorite thing was to understand the outside world through the conversation of adults.

"Recently, have you ever heard of the fact that each Xiuzhen sect in our Dasheng Kingdom accepts disciples once every eight years, there is less than a year before this grand ceremony, and now there should be many people preparing for this matter, and I don't know how many people want to try their luck at that time, if they can be selected by any Xiuzhen sect to accept as a disciple, it is really promising."

A bald man with a tiger's back and a somewhat vicious face spoke.

The big man's voice was rough and his voice was very loud, as soon as he opened his mouth, the attention of everyone in the room was attracted by his words, and there were few guests in the room who were familiar with Zhao Lengfei, but the person who spoke was one of his few acquaintances.

This person's surname is Huang Minghu, a distant nephew of Tian Yuanwai, and Zhao Lengfei's cousin in terms of seniority, Huang Hu is the chief dart master of Tian Yuanwai's dart bureau in Fuzhou City, and has been to many places, and knows many people from three religions and nine streams, so he knows a lot of strange things.

"Oh, the Xiuzhen Sect accepts disciples from the outside world, which is really a grand event, but we don't have a Xiuzhen Sect in Yingbei Province, so I haven't heard anything about this, how did my cousin know?" Zhao Qingshuang raised his eyebrows, it seemed that he was very interested in this matter.

"I heard this news from a fang city in Chaohui County, Yingnan Province, I am very familiar with the owner of an antique shop there, that guy is a member of the Han family of Yingnan Xiuzhen, although he is only a peripheral clan member who is responsible for managing the affairs of the Han family's secular world, but the news I heard from him is absolutely reliable.

According to the Han shopkeeper, each sect has its own sphere of influence, and the news of each sect's acceptance of disciples will only be released within its sphere of influence, and this so-called release only means that the news of accepting disciples is passed on by word of mouth among those who are qualified to participate.

You say that angry people are not angry, just because of this, we Yingbei almost never appeared cultivators, if I had known that there was this opportunity, I would definitely try my luck when I was young, maybe I have become an immortal now. ”

Seeing that everyone was attracted by his topic, the bald man said with some pride and some indignation.

"Are there any restrictions on people who are not in their sphere of influence from these sects? If there is no limit, I want to try it, what else does Huang Darttou know about the Xiuzhen Sect? Tell us about it. It's strange to say, I've always been the most well-informed in Fuzhou City, so why haven't I heard anything about cultivators? ”

A young man in his twenties among the guests was a little moved when he heard Huang Hu's words, and asked in a hurry.

"The Xiuzhen sect has no restrictions on people who are not in its sphere of influence to apprentice, and even people from other sects' spheres of influence will not refuse to come to apprenticeship, but any sect that publishes its acceptance of disciples in a certain province means that this sect has made this place its own sphere of influence.

The sphere of influence of the various Xiuzhen sects has been divided for a long time, and no one dares to expand the sphere of influence rashly, so as not to cause dissatisfaction with other sects, and those who can get the news of the acceptance of disciples understand this, so they will not spread the news indiscriminately, and occasionally someone in Yingbei will get the news of the acceptance of disciples by the Xiuzhen sect, and they will definitely not disclose it to others.

You kid is on an errand boy, but you know more lazy idlers than we do, and the news in those people's mouths is serious? Do you dare to say that you are well-informed in Fuzhou City? ”

"Don't dare, don't dare, Huang Darthead, you go on." The young man blushed when he heard Huang Hu's words, and said busily.

"It is rumored that there are more than 30 Xiuzhen sects in our Dasheng country, and there are as many as hundreds of Xiuzhen families, but there are only four well-known Xiuzhen sects, nine small and thirteen, and the four major sects are Qingmu Palace, Yanshan Sect, Fengqi Pavilion and Xuanshui Gate, known as Nanqingbeiyan, Dongfengxixuan.

The sum of the nine small sects is not as strong as one of the four major sects, as for the other unknown small sects and the Xiuzhen family, they are either attached to the four major sects, or far away from the sphere of influence of the four major sects, and there is no one in the Great Sheng Kingdom that can compete with the four major sects.

Among the four major sects, Aoki Palace is the strongest, and its main sphere of influence is the fifteen provinces in the south of my Dasheng Kingdom, and Aoki Palace also has a large sphere of influence in the two countries of Gu Country and Insect Country, after all, the division of the country has no binding force on the Xiuzhen sect, and the imperial court can't control it, and it won't be stupid to ask about the Xiuzhen ticket sect, it is said that the first place in the four-school beginner disciple competition once every eight years has been won by the disciples of Aoki Palace more than a dozen times in a row.

Among the four factions, Fengqi Pavilion is the most mysterious, and there are very few disciples of Fengqi Pavilion walking outside, so outsiders rarely know the news of this sect, and there is no way to know how big its specific sphere of influence is. ”

The bald man saw that everyone listened with relish, and his expression became even more proud, and then said: "As for the Xuanshui Gate, this sect has always been relatively low-key, and the sect's sphere of influence is also the smallest, only occupying five provinces, it is the most unremarkable of the four major sects, and its strength is also the weakest.

The Smoky Mountain Sect is the lowest threshold for accepting disciples among the four major sects, and the disciples are also the most, and its sphere of influence includes more than 20 provinces in the north of the Great Sheng Kingdom, and it is rumored that the Smoky Mountain Sect has been helping the royal family to cultivate cultivators over the years, and some people say that most of the cultivators worshiped by the imperial court are actually disciples of the Smoky Mountain Sect, but I don't know if this news is true or false. ”

"Then what are the standards for these four major factions to accept disciples?" The young man asked impatiently.

"As for the standard for accepting disciples, it's hard to say, I heard that you have to pass a series of assessments. Although I don't know the criteria for accepting disciples, I do know that the conditions for this assessment and registration are similar to the four major sects, they are all divided into two age groups, one is eight to sixteen years old, and the other is seventeen to thirty years old, the former is a young disciple, and the latter is a young disciple, if the age is more than thirty years old, it will not be considered, after all, after the age of thirty, you will miss the best age for cultivation.

The requirements for participating in the young disciple assessment and registration are not high, as long as the family background is innocent and has a certain foundation in kung fu, of course, their innate cultivation qualifications must also be said in the past.

The requirements for participating in the juvenile disciple assessment registration can be high, first of all, you need to issue a letter of recommendation with sufficient weight, this letter must be written by the local official or celebrity of the applicant, as for the content of the letter, it is naturally a good praise for the registered teenager, that is to say, the registered teenager must be a well-known local genius, and the registration must also test the cultivation qualification, and the requirements of the juvenile qualification must be a whole level higher than the youth, and after the qualification is passed, a lot of fees must be paid in order to participate in the assessment. ”

"Why are the requirements for teenagers to sign up so high, and the content of the assessment is the same every time? Who of us in Fuzhou is qualified to write this letter of recommendation? Zhao Qingshuang saw that his son's eyes were already shining, and he was fascinated by what he heard, so he asked.

"Hehe, Brother Zhao must know how much manpower and financial resources need to be invested to train a child to become a scholar or a martial artist, and these investments are not worth mentioning compared to the investment in cultivating a cultivator. Although after the age of thirty, they have missed the best age for cultivation, but the cultivation potential of young people under the age of thirty is that the older they get, the more obvious it becomes.

All sects are unwilling to spend too much manpower and financial resources on children with unclear talent for cultivation, so the conditions for juvenile registration can only be increased and improved, so that the basic level of participating in the assessment of juveniles is guaranteed, and then through strict assessment and selection, the selected children must be talented, and it is not in vain that the Xiuzhen sect spends a lot of energy to cultivate him.

As for the recommendation letter, who of us here can be more famous than your brother, you definitely have this qualification, according to the Han shopkeeper, the content of each assessment is different, which also dispels the idea of some people who want to do targeted exercises according to the assessment content in advance. It is said that tens of thousands of young people have signed up for each selection and assessment of the major factions, but only a few dozen people can pass the assessment and be included in the door. ”

Everyone chatted happily, and before they knew it, it was noon, Zhao Lengfei hadn't heard enough, his birthday banquet began, and the banquet was naturally indispensable for him to show some talents in front of everyone, he just wrote a few words and answered a few questions at everyone's request, and won the applause of the audience.

As for other skills, Zhao Lengfei didn't show them, this was instructed by his father, and his father didn't want him to be too famous at a young age, which would affect his normal life in the future.

Zhao Lengfei's grandfather Tianyuan twisted his beard with his hands, looked at his grandson who was shining on the stage, with a smile on his face, and as soon as his grandson returned to the banquet after the performance, he coughed lightly a few times to suppress people's applause, "Ahem!" Everyone, please be quiet, the old man has something to say. ”

Suddenly, the banquet fell silent, and they all looked outside the field.

"All of you here, either my old friends or some of my juniors, today I take the opportunity of my grandson's birthday to gather you together, just to announce something to you." With a wave of his hand, the housekeeper took a few white codex and circulated them to everyone at each table, everyone was surprised after reading it, and some people even whispered after reading it, only Zhao Qingshuang smiled slightly after reading it, as if what was written in the codex was what he expected.

"The old man is now old, and I decided to put down the business matters, isn't it just to be able to watch your children and grandchildren grow up when you are old, and enjoy the joy of family at home, do you say this is the truth?" Seeing that everyone had finished circulating, Tian Yuanwai spoke.

"yes."

"Makes sense."

The following banquet echoed a chorus, Tian Yuanwai was also regarded as going south and north when he was young, and he laid the foundation today, and now his son-in-law is so famous, and his grandson is so talented, it can be said that he has complete merits, and he has no regrets in this life, and he doesn't know how many people are envious.

"As for the shops I left in the state capital and provincial capital, how to distribute them, to whom to take care of them, and to whom I have passed on the things I left after thousands of years, I have written clearly on this codex, and I will show it to you today, just to ask you if you have any opinions, and at the same time I hope you will give me a witness." Tian Yuanwai looked at everyone happily, and finally his eyes fell on Zhao Qingshuang's face, and he thought in his heart: "It is worthy of being the son-in-law that I have taken a fancy to many years ago, and I really didn't disappoint." ”

Zhao Lengfei also took a look at the content of the letter, except for the last one that he left some of his collections and the manor of this Yingliang Town to himself after his grandfather's death, the fields in the county and township, and the shops in the state and provincial towns were all distributed to some of his grandfather's relatives, subordinates, and friends who worked hard with his grandfather in the early years, and his father's and mother's names did not appear in the entire content of the letter.

Saying that he doesn't have a little feeling in his grandfather's heart about dividing the family property with others, it is absolutely fake, in the face of such a large family business, how many people in the world can not be moved, Zhao Lengfei is not exempt from vulgarity, his grandfather divides it with everyone, he still feels a little pity in his heart.

In his previous life, Zhao Lengfei was not very rich, and he was able to look at money very lightly, not to mention that in this life, his father could go outside to change one or even several shops with a calligraphy and painting, so he didn't care too much about how much property his grandfather left him, but he was worried that the industry that his grandfather had worked hard for in his life could not be treated well, so he felt a pity, if he really wanted to talk about it, his grandfather's great business was far less attractive than the strange things that his grandfather collected.

If you want to say that who doesn't care about his grandfather's huge business at all, Zhao Lengfei feels that there is only his father, he knows that his father's ambition is not here, and the attraction of his grandfather's industry to his father is completely zero, and his grandfather actually intended to hand over the industry to his father in his early years, but he was pushed away by his father, and his father has not taken over his grandfather's industry for so many years.

"What are you talking about, if you want us to be a witness, just give us an order."

"That's it, what does Tian Lao tell us to listen to, how can we have an opinion on your arrangement."

Almost every guest present has more or less a share of the property outside the field, how can anyone disagree with the fielder.

After Zhao Lengfei's birthday banquet experienced such a small episode, the guests continued to push the glass and change the glass, and the wine was happy, although Zhao Lengfei thought about the strange things in the grandfather's house, but as the protagonist of the banquet, he had to stay here until the end of the banquet.

When the banquet was over, Tian Yuanwai did not take Zhao Lengfei directly to play, but called him and his parents to his room together, and after the family sat down around the tea table, Tian Yuanwai said to Zhao Qingshuang: "Qingshuang, what do you think about the distribution of property on my letter today?" ”

"My father-in-law's eyes are really impressed, and the arrangement is very appropriate, it can be said that he makes the best use of things and makes the best use of his talents, I guess other people think so too, I just think that you have too many things to leave a hail, so much gold and jade money, it is useless for him to take it." Zhao Qingshuang replied.

"I also knew that you were not here, if I had to hand over my little things to you to take care of, it would disrupt your life, as the saying goes: money is something outside the body, passing on the virtuous not to relatives, can maximize its value, it is also the best choice, I have my own plans for those things to my good grandson, you can't say no on his behalf.

You said that I have a good eye for people, otherwise I would not have chosen you to be my son-in-law, to be honest, if you are willing to do business, there must be few other businesses in this Dasheng country, haha......." Tian Yuanwai laughed.
