In the study room of the outer courtyard of the Shengguo Mansion, the four grandfathers of the country sat on the Taishi chairs in four directions, holding tea in their hands and saying a few words of greeting.

Old Man Zhou of the Divine General's Mansion took a sip of tea and boasted: "It really deserves to be the tea of the Shengguo Mansion, and the tea has a medicinal taste." ”

Sheng Qiye's eyes widened, and he also took a sip and tasted it, "No?" I still smell of tea when I drink it. ”

Old Man Zhou couldn't help but glance at him, and said with a long sigh: "I really didn't expect that the last title of the Sheng family would actually fall on the head of you, a little monk." Which of your elder brothers was not better than you? Which one isn't smarter than you? As a result, people still can't earn their lives......" After speaking, he put down the teacup with some excitement and closed his eyes to recuperate.

Zhou Huaixuan sat on the brocade next to Old Man Zhou, with a pair of arms crossed on his chest, his back against the wall of the study behind him, listening to the words of his grandfather Old Man Zhou with an indifferent expression, the corners of Zhou Huaixuan's mouth showed a little ridicule.

“…… Life? The 'eminent monk' who gave me the order was obviously taking people's money and paving the way for others. Zhou Huaixuan said lightly.

The so-called "high monk" once predicted that Zhou Huaixuan would not live to be eighteen years old when he was very young.

Later, this "high monk" was dragged out of the temple by Zhou Huaixuan, who was over 18 years old, and beaten violently, and thrown into the yamen to confess to the backyard of many wealthy families**.

The strange thing is that the high monk actually didn't recruit the people from the Divine General's Mansion.

This matter, Mr. Zhou has always felt very strange.

If it was the people inside their Divine General's Mansion who coveted the position of the Duke of the Kingdom, so they plotted against Zhou Huaixuan, he felt that it was understandable.

But in the end, it was found out that it was not a black trick made by the people of the Divine General's Mansion at all.

This made him fidget.

In this way, there are only two possibilities.

One possibility is that the threat to the Divine General's Mansion comes from the outside, and there are other forces that want their Divine General's Mansion to fall.

There is also a possibility that the threat of the Divine General's Mansion is still inside, but it is very deeply hidden and acted very carefully, so even the "high monk" does not know the true identity of the client. No matter which of these two possibilities is one, it makes Old Man Zhou feel like a fish in his throat, and he doesn't vomit unhappily.

After the senior monk gave Zhou Huaixuan "approval", the old man Sheng personally came forward to help the sick and weak Zhou Huaixuan diagnose and treat, and he was about to recover, but when Zhou Huaixuan was five years old, that is, in the tenth year of the Ming calendar, there was a tragedy of the Sheng family, the Sheng family was beheaded, and the old man Sheng was ordered to be executed by the angry Queen Mother.

As soon as Old Man Sheng died, Zhou Huaixuan's condition took a sharp turn for the worse, and instead of continuing to improve, it began to deteriorate.

After that, five years passed, and it was the turn of the Zheng Guogong Mansion.

In the fifteenth year of the Ming calendar, Zheng Guogong's youngest daughter and the great writer Zheng Xiangrong fell in love with the second prince.

From the fifteenth year of the Ming calendar to the twenty-ninth year of the Ming calendar to the twenty-ninth year of the Ming calendar, fourteen years have passed, and their four major mansions seem to have gone through a reincarnation.

“…… The Wu Mansion has been safe and sound. Zhou Huaixuan looked at Old Man Wu and said lightly.

Old Man Wu had been staring at Zhou Huaixuan with a smile, but when he saw Zhou Huaixuan's words thrown over, it was almost like killing him, so he jumped up from his seat, waved his fist at Zhou Huaixuan, and said loudly: "Little rabbit cub, you can eat food indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense!" - Who said that our house has been safe and sound? Have you forgotten that when my eldest granddaughter was born, she was born blind and stupid! ”

Zhou Huaixuan lowered his head expressionlessly and did not answer.

But his expression was obvious, a complete disapproving one.

Yes, compared with the three families of Zhou, Sheng, and Zheng, the so-called "setback" of the Wu family is really insignificant.

What's more, after Wu Chanjuan's blindness was cured, she revealed her heavy pupils, which was completely icing on the cake for Wu Guogong's mansion.

Old Man Zhou, Old Man Zheng and Sheng Qiye silently looked at Old Man Wu who stood up.

Old Man Wu shrunk his neck when they saw it, sat back on the Taishi chair, and said curtly: "Okay, okay, we take advantage of it, but it's not easy to take advantage of it." Look at our sons and grandchildren, none of them are promising! The only one who looks like it is a granddaughter! - I have no successor in my family, so it's a draw, right? ”

"Hmph, it's like you're at a loss!" The other three princes despised him together.

Zhou Huaixuan looked at Sheng Qiye, and suddenly asked: "Seventh Master, you were also criticized at the beginning, saying that there was a life and death calamity at the age of eighteen, so if you are less than three years old, Old Man Sheng will send you to become a monk." - Do you know who gave you the command? ”

Old Man Zhou opened his eagle-like eyes, glanced at Sheng Qiye, and nodded slowly: "Exactly." At the beginning, only your father, Zheng Lao, Wu Lao and me, the four of us old guys knew that the Sheng family had a young son who left home. The fact that you can live to come back now is enough to prove that these things have nothing to do with the three of us old guys. ”

Of course, it has nothing to do with Mr. Sheng.

Old Man Sheng himself is dead, and he died so miserably......

When Sheng Qiye thought of his father's tragic death, he couldn't help but cover his face and cry.

Old Man Wu turned around in his chair very uncomfortably, frowned and said, "Crying? What's the use of crying? Everyone is here today to find a way to find a reason. What can you do if you just know how to cry? ”

Old Man Zheng, who was silent for a long time, understood Sheng Qiye very well, and he glared at Old Man Wu, "My parents and brothers, my brothers and sisters all died, what's wrong with him crying?" I think you're really in the eye of money, and you don't even care about human feelings. ”

Old Man Wu snorted, took a bite of tea, and muttered, "...... It's actually a big red robe, it's too extravagant, it's too extravagant...... "After drinking, he put down the teacup and said to the people in the study: "One day I will give you some 'one pot', one or two leaves are enough to brew a pot, and it is best to brew it only in an earthen teapot made of clay." The teapot should not contain colored glaze, and the heat of the hot water in the kettle alone is enough. ”

Old Man Zhou sneered, arched his hand and said, "Excuse me." What kind of 'horse can' of yours is just a coaxing from the dried begonia leaves, but I don't appreciate it. ”

"Hmph, you know that you eat and drink ...... sea" Old Man Wu muttered, while already changing the topic, and said to Sheng Qiye: "Don't be sad, your father is so powerful, how can he really be so miserable?" As far as I know, when he was 'Ling Chi', he would have committed suicide a long time ago. The implication is that Ling Chi was already a dead man when he was young, so he naturally didn't feel pain.

The Queen Mother angrily ordered "Ling Chi", also because Old Man Sheng actually took the first step to hang himself in the prison!

Sheng Qiye felt better, wiped his tears, and said, "I also know that big men don't shed tears when they bleed." But my heart has been blocked, and the elders told me to cry once, and I will never cry again. As he spoke, Tuan Tuan clasped his fists.

Old Man Zhou smiled and twisted his beard and said, "In this way, for our Four Great Mansions, these bad luck should have started when Sheng Qi was born. ”

Sheng Qi is actually the first. It started when someone gave him a life, saying that he was eighteen years old and had a life and death catastrophe.

When he was eighteen years old, it was when the Sheng family suffered a catastrophe and the whole family was beheaded.

It's a pity that he escaped life and death, but the price was the life of the whole family.

Sheng Qiye drilled the tip of the bull's horns for a while, and asked in a daze: "If I hadn't become a monk, would I be the only one in my family to die, and no one else would have died?" He suddenly felt very guilty, a feeling that he had married off someone else.

Old Man Zheng shook his head one by one, "Of course not." If you don't become a monk, you'll just die with everyone. Your Sheng family is really the last. ”

If Sheng Qi also died at that time, the title of Duke Sheng Guo would officially become history, and the hereditary Guogong Mansion of the Great Xia Dynasty would be cut off.

Even if you find a side branch of the Sheng family to inherit the title later, according to the original blood oath, these side branches can no longer be hereditary, and can only be demoted.

In other words, if Sheng Qiye dies, no matter what, the Duke of Sheng Jiaguo will disappear completely after the fifth generation.

"First the Sheng family, then the Zhou family, then the Zheng family, and finally ......" Old Man Zheng looked at Old Man Wu, "It's the Wu family." ”

The four princes were shocked and shuddered.

These things seem to be boundless, and they are scattered in the torrent of time, a total of thirty-seven years, but gradually a large net has been woven and scattered over the heads of the four great powers.

The ropes in the net are tightening step by step, like boiling frogs in warm water, and they are slowly suffocating before they know it, and finally dying.

"Who would spend so much time laying down such a game? What is the purpose? Who will benefit the most? Zhou Huaixuan asked indifferently, disapproving at the painful expressions on the faces of the four princes.

Although he is the eldest grandson of the Divine General's Mansion and the heir of Zhou Guogong, he doesn't care about the survival of the family at all.

After so many years, although Sheng Qiye was successfully reinstated, for the other three princes, these puzzles still existed.

There is an invisible danger that still hovers over everyone.

Sheng Qiye's face was gloomy, and he slammed the teacup on the small coffee table beside him. The lid of the teacup jumped with a thud and almost fell off.

"My family's business is not over yet." Sheng Qiye thought of the Sheng family's blood debt, and he didn't want to steal his life at all.

Old Man Wu grinned, squinted his eyes and said, "What if it's not over?" People are going to marry their daughters to your family. ”

"Huh? What do you mean? "Old Man Wu's topic changed too quickly, and Sheng Qiye was a little confused.

He looked at Old Man Wu in a daze, the teacup in his hand was accidentally tilted, and the tea was about to flow out, only to see Zhou Huaixuan's figure move, he had already come to Sheng Qiye's side, stretched out his hand to take the teacup in his hand, and put it on the small coffee table on the side.

Zhou Huaixuan's figure was so fast that no one in the room could tell when he came to Sheng Qiye from the other side of the room.

Old Man Wu blinked his eyes, smacked his lips again, and sighed to Old Man Zhou: "Old Zhou, how did you raise such a good grandson?" I'll trade my granddaughter for you, okay? ”

Hearing Old Man Wu talk about his granddaughter Wu Chanjuan, Old Man Zheng smiled and said, "Heavy pupils appear, and the saint is out." - Lao Wu, are you really willing to exchange the saint for Lao Zhou's grandson? ”

Old Man Zhou laughed and clapped his palms: "That's right, that's right!" If you want to change, then change! ”

"Ahh Old Man Wu took a sip of them hatefully, and said to Old Man Zheng: "That's also your granddaughter!" After saying this, Old Man Wu's face suddenly became a little strange, he stretched out his right hand, pinched his fingers and counted a few times, and asked Old Man Zheng in a daze, "Your eldest girl Zheng Suxin is my eldest daughter-in-law, which year was born?" ”

Old Man Zheng was stunned, but he also lowered his head and thought about it, and said: "In the forty years of Changli, he was born when the first emperor was in power. ”

Sheng Qiye hurriedly said: "Hey, I was also born in the fortieth year of Changli. ”

It turned out that Zheng Suxin, like Sheng Qiye, was thirty-seven years old.

"That year, there were really a lot of lucky people born." Old Man Wu said meaningfully.

Old Man Zheng was silent for a while, shook his head and said, "Although Su Xin has lost her mother since she was a child, she has always been a well-behaved and sensible child. I have never been coquettish like a child, I have never lost my temper, and I have always been a good child who knows the general situation and knows how to advance and retreat. With such a child, her stepmother and I both love her a little. "Even well-behaved to the point of distress, not at all like Zheng Xiangrong when he was a child, he was naughty and noisy.

Old Man Zheng's implication is that Zheng Suxin is not a person of good luck.

The widow and eldest daughter alone almost made her unable to turn over for the rest of her life.

Old Man Wu thought about it, and it seemed that these words had come to him again. At the beginning, he took the big truth that "the eldest daughter of a widow is not a clan wife" and opposed his eldest son Wu Changge marrying Zheng Suxin.

If it weren't for Zheng Xiangrong suddenly emerging and becoming a rising literary superstar in the Great Xia Dynasty, Old Man Wu would not let go and agreed to Wu Changge marrying Zheng Suxin.

It's just that they didn't expect that after Zheng Xiangrong was famous, he was actually taken by the second prince, and the two secretly fell in love......

"The people of our four major mansions can't marry the Great Xia royal family, this is an iron law, so let's not say more. In the past many years, no daughter of the queen's mother's family, or the queen mother's family, has ever married into our four major mansions. Why? It is because the emperor who sits in that position will not allow the descendants to sit big. As a result, now that the emperor doesn't care about anything, the two descendants are ready to move. "Old Man Zhou has already given the position of god general to his eldest son Zhou Chengzong, and he cultivates his mind at home, and does not ask about the world in the name of alchemy and cultivation.

Sheng Qiye was still thinking about what Old Man Wu said just now, and when he heard this, he was even more puzzled, and asked, "Who wants to marry his daughter to my family?" ”

"You don't know yet?" Old Man Wu was stunned.

"I've been taking care of Siyan's condition at home and haven't gone out." Sheng Qiye said honestly.

"I heard that the Queen Mother's mother's family, that is, the Marquis of Changyuan's Mansion, is thinking about marrying one of her own daughters to your eldest son, saying that she wants to repair relations with you, and she doesn't want to make enemies with your family."
