Chapter Twenty-Nine: Reward

The master and Lingwu saluted Long Wei Hou first, and Long Wei Hou said with a smile: "There may not be one in ten million people who cultivate spirits, and today I can see the master's mantle and pass it on, which is really a great joy for my Long Wei Hou country." I am afraid that this gift of your master and apprentice will be recorded in the annals of history, and I, Ji Changwu, dare not accept it in vain, and I will definitely have to return the salute. I don't have anything good to give Lingwu as a meeting gift, so I will take the Guiling Mansion as a gift, and from today Zhao Lingwu will be the lord of the Guiling Mansion. ”

Everyone in the audience couldn't help but be surprised, and Master Zhang was also surprised, and hurriedly said: "Master Hou's reward is too heavy, and Lingwu is afraid that he can't afford it." ”

"The master doesn't have to refuse, the apprentices you want to accept are at least to become spiritual scholars, the land of Yifu is too small, where the rewards are too heavy, I think it's still light."

Master Zhang pulled Lingwu forward, and Lingwu thanked: "Thank you Lord Hou for the heavy reward." ”

"Don't thank me just yet, it's just a gift in return. I have one more thing here, I don't know if you will agree to it? ”

"Master Hou, please command, my master and apprentice will not be ambiguous," Zhang Yuzhang replied.

"Master Guang said it's not okay, I don't know if Lingwu is willing to agree?"

"Lingwu listens to Master Hou and listens to the master."

"That's good, Zhao Lingwu listens to the seal, and now Zhao Lingwu is the young master of the Longwei Hou State Protector, participates in state affairs, is the master's deputy, and can exercise the master's authority by the master."

"Master Hou, this matter is not possible, Lingwu is still young, where can he take on such a heavy responsibility. Please also ask Hou Ye to think twice, I know that Hou Ye is biased towards Yuzhang, but I'm afraid this arrangement is too fast, right? ”

"The master doesn't have to worry, and he doesn't have to go back, just listen to my orders, and the matter is settled. In the future, there will be a seat on this hall for Young Master Lingwu on my left. Hahaha, I'm so happy that I forgot that I haven't finished hosting yet. The last procedure: the master and apprentice will greet everyone. ”

"Yuzhang and Lingwu have saluted everyone, please take care of them" The master and apprentice bent down with their fists and bowed to everyone. Everyone saluted in response: "Congratulations to the master and the young master and apprentice." Long Weihou smiled beside him: "I just received a gift, and it was not in vain. You're embarrassed to suffer in vain, it's all sudden today, it's okay if you don't prepare a gift, you have to make up for it when you go back. ”

Ji Longchuan saw that his father had never been so happy, so he walked out of the line and said, "It's rare for my father to be so happy, we will definitely give a gift to the young master." At the banquet, it is indispensable to pay more respects to the master, and ask the master not to shirk. ”

"Okay, in order to celebrate double happiness today, the house has specially prepared a banquet, everyone is happy, I want to have a few more drinks with the master today, hahaha......"

The banquet lasted until the evening, and all the officials of the Hou State came to toast to the master and Lingwu, and there were so many people that Lingwu didn't remember the names of a few people until the end. In the end, the master felt tired and returned to the master's mansion. Lingwu was going to go back with his grandfather, but Mrs. Hou repeatedly kept him, saying that she had a relationship with this child, and she liked it very much when she saw it, and wanted to talk to Lingwu more. The master was also beside him to persuade Lingwu to get close to the old lady, and Lingwu had to stay overnight in the Hou Mansion.

The banquet was dispersed, but the lights in the study of the Hou Mansion were on, and the three young masters of the Hou Mansion were all in the study of the Hou Mansion. I only heard Ji Longchuan say: "Father, I am so happy today, and I have rewarded Zhao Lingwu heavily, I am afraid that he is thoughtful, right?" ”

"Of course, why can my Ji family be intimidating, and even King Liang doesn't dare to act rashly? There are several gods in Liangzhou, but we are the strongest, and we can stand for so many years, because we have great spirits. Although King Liang is a martial saint, since the death of Master Li, there is no great spirit scholar, and he is also afraid that we will fight with him. With our strength, we can't keep the Great Spirit Warrior, Brother Yuzhang has helped me all my life, this is for the sake of life and death brothers. The master is old, and the two of us have been worried about this for a long time, afraid that as soon as he goes, our Ji family will be finished. Today, the master has accepted apprentices, and my Ji family is worry-free, how can I not be happy? There is the master-apprentice relationship between the master and Lingwu, the relatives of the grandson, as long as our family treats Lingwu well, he will definitely stay in our family, which is also the meaning of the master. ”

"I don't think the master's body is very good, Zhao Lingwu is a spirit child, what is the role of cultivating a spirit in the past few years? Father still uses him so much, rewarding him" The old Sanji Longshan was a little puzzled: "Look at the appearance of the master, the child dares to say, I'm afraid it will be three or five years at most, if King Liang makes a move to us, how will my family deal with it?" I'm afraid Lingwu can't count on it. ”

"What do you know? You don't have to worry about this, I tell you that you only need to do one thing well, that is, to tie Lingwu and my Ji family together in various ways, you and all your children are close to Lingwu, don't let him have a share in our family. I have discussed with your mother that you will choose the most suitable among your daughters to marry Lingwu, and we will be a family. Well, it's late at night, and I called you to tell you this, and go and rest. ”

Lingwu was warmly received in the Hou Mansion, and at night Lingwu lived in a courtyard specially prepared for him, which was originally a place for the Hou Ye to live for a long time. There are pavilions, rockeries, ponds, and exotic flowers and plants in the courtyard, and the scenery is pleasant at this time when the spring flowers bloom. According to the housekeeper of the Hou Mansion, the Hou Ye of this courtyard has been given to the young master Lingwu for the young master to live in when he arrives at the Hou Mansion, and the courtyard is full of slaves and is extremely exquisitely maintained. In the morning, the old lady summoned all the men and women of the grandchildren in the house to know Lingwu and called them brothers and sisters. Everyone accompanied Lingwu to visit all parts of the house, and the old lady took Lingwu's hand and personally introduced them one by one. At noon, the old lady held a banquet, and the wives and children of the three brothers of Ji Longchuan gathered together. The old lady said very happily: "Today is really not so lively even for the New Year, and it is rare for children to get together. Especially Lingwu, who is far away in Fumian City, I didn't see it for the first time until I was ten years old. When I see you, I think of your mother, and I liked her very much when you were a child. Your grandmother is such a daughter, she is so beautiful, I often take her to play. I haven't seen her since he got married, and it's been nearly forty years since he got married. If my sister was still here, I wouldn't know how happy I would be to see my grandson so handsome. Saying that, he took Lingwu's hand and shed tears, and the daughters-in-law persuaded beside him: "Mother, it is a great joy for Lingwu to come to see you from far away today. Auntie is gone, doesn't Lingwu still have you to love him, don't you treat him as your own grandson. ”

"What do you mean by treating him as your own grandson? I don't feel comfortable listening to what you say, Lingwu is my own grandson. ”

"Alas, look at my mouth, I just don't like what I say, and I should be beaten. What my mother taught me was that I knew that you felt sorry for him, and those of us who were daughters-in-law could always hold Lingwu as a bowl of oil in our hands, right? ”

"Just your poor mouth" The old lady raised her hand to fight, and the eldest daughter-in-law pretended to hide, causing everyone to laugh.
