Chapter 1 Importance
"Master, please join the Su family and marry my granddaughter, she is waiting outside the door."
"My Su family has served you for two hundred years, and now the family is in decline, if you refuse to agree, the hard work accumulated by the Su family for several generations will completely decline in less than five years."
"I know that marrying my granddaughter as you is indeed very condescending, but I have no choice, those juniors of the Su family are all wine, meat and rice, except for you, it is difficult to revive the Su family."
"I have only the last two months of my life left."
A white-haired old man on crutches, frail and seriously ill, with cloudy eyes full of begging, spoke at the same time, and at the same time knelt in front of a young man who looked to be in his early twenties.
"Xiaojun, money and foreign things, it's good to die, I can't die if I want to die, do you know what kind of pain it is to live for 5,000 years?" The young man has a delicate face and a young age, but his demeanor is very different, revealing a strong sense of vicissitudes.
The old man's full name is Su Wanjun, and he is the head of a second-rate family in the Tanglin area.
In the entire Tanglin City, Su Wanjun was a man with a head and a face, a well-known iron backbone, but he knelt in front of the young man unusually, with a handful of snot and tears.
"Master, you are eternally young, you have lived from ancient times to modern times, you have used countless identities, and you have encountered many things, where can I compare to you with this mentality, I really can't bear to see the Su family completely collapse in the future." Su Wanjun burst into tears and cried like a child.
Su Wanjun would go up the mountain alone every seven days, rain or shine for decades, just to serve the young man in front of him, Chen Feng!
No one knows Chen Feng's origin better than Su Wanjun, this is a person who has lived for a full five thousand years!
The ancestor of the Su family, in the early years, met Chen Feng by chance and served all the year round, so he was favored by Chen Feng and became a once prosperous family.
It's just that due to the changes of the times, the Su family is now also facing the crisis of decline, from one of the three major families in Jiang Province decades ago, gradually shrinking to Tanglin City and becoming a second-rate family.
The reason why it continues to decay is because Chen Feng suddenly got tired of it seventy years ago and ran to the mountains to live in seclusion.
In the past seventy years, the relatives of the Su family who knew Chen Feng back then have long since died, and now there is only Su Wanjun left, and there are only two months left to live.
In order to revive the former glory of the Su family, Su Wanjun carried a serious illness, climbed the mountain desperately, and personally brought his granddaughter Su Xiaojing together, asking Chen Feng to join the Su family and help.
"Counting, I haven't been down the mountain for nearly seventy years, although the outside world can occasionally be understood from your mouth, but you should know very well that the Su family, as the ninth servant family to serve me, has no wealth and power that can last forever, so why should you bother." Chen Feng pinched his fingers, but shook his head and refused.
"Jiang Province Heavenly Family, all kinds of blows to our Su family over the years, now they have fallen to the second-rate family, the Heavenly family is still unwilling to let us go, if the master does not go out of the mountain in person, even if my life is dead, I am not reconciled, besides, the Su family has served the master for generations, there is no merit and hard work, and I also ask the master to go out of the mountain and take over the Su family in the name of the son-in-law of the Su family." Su Wanjun's old eyes were moist, and he bent down and kowtowed directly.
"Xiaojun, since your father died, you have been serving me, going up the mountain on time for decades, it is indeed a hard work, since you are so sincere to ask me, then for the sake of love, I will be reluctant, go down the mountain to help you once, after all, no matter what, you are my junior." Chen Feng sighed, after all, he still couldn't bear it, he couldn't be hard-hearted to those close to him.
Five thousand years have passed, and time has made Chen Feng understand that wealth and power are meaningless, and only true feelings are the most valuable.
Immortality is a dream in the eyes of others.
But for Chen Feng, who has experienced this, it is a bottomless pit of pain and suffering.
In this long time, Chen Feng couldn't count how many identities he had used, but no matter what way he used, he couldn't die, and his footprints traveled all over the country, trying to unlock the secret of immortality, but in the end he never got the answer, so he lived in seclusion in the deep mountains and old forests.
The first few times Su Wanjun went up the mountain, he said that the current society has changed a lot, science and technology are very developed, and he may be able to find the reason for his immortality through medical means, so he moved his heart to go down the mountain.
"Thank you, master, I will take you to see my granddaughter, but due to your identity, after we meet, it is inevitable that you will be wronged by the master, and please be considerate." Su Wanjun was overjoyed, and immediately smiled like a child, quickly wiped away his tears and snot, picked up his crutches, and got up with a hippie smile.
Outside the door.
Su Xiaojing was stunned, looking at the surrounding environment.
Surrounded by mountains and forests covered with barren grass, it doesn't look like a place where people live at all, and there may be tigers and wolves in the middle of the night.
And the dilapidated house in front of me in the deep mountains is located on the mountainside, and the stones in front of the door are still stained with blood, as well as a few remaining bones, which is incredible.
"What era is it, and there are still people living in this kind of place, grandpa comes here every seven days?" Su Xiaojing was dressed in neat professional clothes, and her brain was a little dazed.
Next to Su Xiaojing's parents, Su Guodong and Gao Yulan, they were even more disgusted.
"Before the old man came here, he obviously told us that he was arranging a partner for you, I thought it was the young master of which family, and he brought us to this barren mountain and wild mountain?" The corners of Su Guodong's mouth twitched, and even the big black mole on the left side of his face trembled, seriously doubting whether the old man was demented.
"It can't be a wild man living here, right? Why are there still blood stains and bones in front of the door, our family Xiaojing, she looks so beautiful, I don't know how many people are pursuing, what is the old man joking with us. Gao Yulan pointed and couldn't wait to leave immediately.
"Wife, I don't know." Su Guodong touched the Mediterranean Sea in distress.
"You are a wreck, it's really bad luck for me to marry you, it doesn't matter if you are not powerful in the Su family, now the old man is still so partial, and arranges a marriage for our daughter casually, isn't this purely trying to drive us out of the Su family?" Gao Yulan hugged her chest with her hands, and her chest rose and fell with anger.
Su Guodong swallowed his saliva, he didn't dare to talk back, and his wife was strict.
"Grandpa, he won't really do this to us, will he?" Su Xiaojing said in disbelief.
"How could it not be? What is your father's ability, don't we know it? And the hospital has said that the old man can only last for the last two months, and his health is so bad that he is still coming here, no matter how he stops it, I really can't figure it out, is there still gold here? I saw nothing but a bunch of leftover bones. Gao Yulan said with a dissatisfied face.
"Perhaps, grandpa means something else?" Su Xiaojing raised her eyes to look at the dilapidated house, since she was sensible, she knew that the old man would inevitably go out alone every seven days, and never let people follow, rain or shine for decades.
The relatives within the Su family are all speculating that the old man must have a vault hidden!
After all, the Su family used to be rich in the past, and it was one of the three major families in Jiang Province, although it has not been completed like this now, but the family up and down still thinks that the old man has a background.
"There's a fart meaning, I think the old man is confused, I'm afraid that there is no name on the will." Gao Yulan scolded in a low voice, her snobbish demeanor was like a shrew.
Su Guodong stood next to him, not daring to refute half a sentence, and even agreed with this statement.
Gao Yulan wanted to scold again, but suddenly heard the sound of the door opening, and immediately closed her mouth.
I saw Su Wanjun coming out with a cane with a smile on his face, and even his complexion was a lot ruddy, and he said: "Xiao Jing, grandpa has arranged it for you, tomorrow you will go with Chen Feng to get the certificate, and the marriage will be completed within two months." ”
After speaking, Chen Feng came out from behind.
With a black hair that was left to the back waist and grew to a knot, coupled with a yellowed coat, it looked like it was from the last century, dressed like a soil bun savage, and Gao Yulan and Su Guodong suddenly widened their eyes.
"Old man, are you crazy, what kind of marriage is this?" Gao Yulan said anxiously.
"That's right, you obviously found a wild man for Xiao Jing, or the pure kind, this hair is about to grow lice!" Su Guodong almost flashed his tongue.
Su Xiaojing was like being struck by lightning, and she couldn't believe it was true at all, and asked, "Grandpa, you shouldn't be telling the truth, right?" ”
"That is to say, from today onwards, Chen Feng will join our Su family, with him in the Su family, the Su family will definitely not decline in the future, and maybe it will be able to return to glory." Su Wanjun looked ecstatic.
fell into the eyes of Gao Yulan and Su Guodong, and immediately felt that this was really crazy!
"You're going to let me marry him?" Su Xiaojing was incredulous and said with an aggrieved expression.
"Xiao Jing, don't underestimate it, Chen Feng is very powerful, after you marry him, you will definitely not regret it." Su Wanjun pretended to be an elder and patted Chen Feng on the shoulder, in fact, the whole person was cautious, in terms of age, the ancestors of the Su family were not as big as Chen Feng!
In addition, Su Wanjun has been serving since he was a child, and he is the person who knows Chen Feng's skills best.
A person who has been immortal for 5,000 years, who once helped Qin Shi Huang unify the six countries, won the world for Li Shimin, and even personally served as the emperor of the Kai Dynasty, accumulating countless wealth and peak power, will this kind of person be incapable?
"Old man, I don't agree, this is too ridiculous, spread it out to our Su family, how can we see people?" Gao Yulan couldn't help but retort, this is not the same as the rich son-in-law she imagined, if Chen Feng is allowed to be her son-in-law, then her face will be lost, what can a wild man do, in the future, she will not want to hold her head up in front of relatives and friends.
"If you don't agree, you have to agree." Su Wanjun said categorically that in the entire Su family, there is an undeniable status.
Gao Yulan didn't have the courage to talk back, so she could only grit her teeth unwillingly, and looked at Chen Fenglai with disgust, the more she looked at it, the more angry she became.
Su Guodong was embarrassed for a while, he was usually a useless soft egg, Gao Yulan didn't dare to say anything, where did he still have the guts.
"Is this my current wife? Looks good. Chen Feng nodded appreciatively, he didn't expect Su Wanjun's granddaughter to be so outstanding, looking like a lady, but it was just appreciation.
"The current wife? Was he still married? Su Xiaojing asked movingly.
"Ahem, no, no, Xiaojing, don't worry, grandpa's vision must be right." Su Wanjun coughed a few times to forcibly hide his embarrassment, thinking to himself that granddaughter, you should be content, when he was the emperor himself, it was three thousand beauties in the harem, and being able to marry Chen Feng is a blessing that cannot be cultivated in eight lifetimes, and it is already very rare to be praised by Chen Feng for a good sentence.
"Chen Feng, my granddaughter will be handed over to you in the future, with you in the Su family, I will be at ease." Su Wanjun secretly squeezed his eyebrows.
"Thank you, old man, I will treat her well." Chen Feng tacitly cooperated, thinking that after staying in the mountains for so many years, it was indeed time to go out for a walk, see if he could find the reason, and then complete the matter promised to the Su family by the way.
Su Xiaojing smiled bitterly, she actually wanted to marry a wild man, and she couldn't do anything about this arrangement, no matter how unwilling she was, she had an indescribable sense of rejection, and she had to listen to Su Wanjun's arrangement.
The life of the elders, the words of the matchmaker.
This is the rule of the Su family, and the younger generation has no right to refuse!
