After dinner, the family talked in the hall.

Dow couldn't get enough of his love son, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were faintly stretched.

Su Han was also looking at his parents. Xu Heng's martial arts are not bad, but the people who are close to the sixtieth birthday do not show their old age at all, compared with twenty years ago, except that their eyes are not as sharp as they used to be and more restrained, there is no change, and there is a middle-aged person.

In comparison, Tao is much older, even though he has been well maintained over the years, but after all, he is a person in his fifties, his temples are stained with dust and frost, and the fish lines at the corners of his eyes are deep, which makes Su Han feel quite sad.

"Yin'er, where have you been all these years?" Although Aiko returned unharmed, looking at the tired face of vicissitudes of life, Tao couldn't help but ask.

"Over the years, the child has traveled through thousands of mountains and rivers, appreciated the vastness of the world, and then longed for the scenery of the sea, and stayed in the South China Sea for a long time, recently there was a gang of robbers in the South China Sea, and the child was forced to return to the Central Plains. Su Han replied jokingly.

Tao didn't care about Su Han's tone, and asked as if reproachful and caring: "Then why don't you go home?" Do you know how tired your father and I are. ”

Of course, Su Han couldn't say that he couldn't accept these two cheap parents, so he said nonsense in a low tone: "The child is poor and destitute outside, and he has no face to come back." ”

The tip of Dow's nose was sour: "You stupid boy." ”

Xu Heng frowned, he was not as easy to fool as Tao, just now in the majesty of Lao Tzu, he didn't speak, but at this time, he really couldn't listen to it, so he had to ask him thoroughly.

Suddenly, a figure in a cloth stepped in from outside the hall and stood at the door. His hair was all white, his face was full of dust, his eyes were deeply tired, and his wrinkles could not hide his old voice. At this time, he looked straight at Su Han, who had already stood up and looked at him, his tone was calm, and there was a hint of relief: "It's good to come back." ”

After speaking, he didn't give others a chance to salute, and didn't even say anything to Su Han, so he turned around and left directly.

Xu Heng's question was blocked in his mouth and could not come out, yes, it's good to come back, why bother to get to the bottom of it. The child always has to grow up and face the wind and rain, and as a father, he only needs to provide him with a platform to spread his wings and fly high, and a harbor where he can rest and shelter from the wind when he is tired.

"Grandpa", it was only at this time that the stagnant words in Su Han's mouth blurted out, he knew in his heart that the old man loved face and was afraid that it would be difficult to hide the sourness in his heart when he stayed here, so he left early. The sentence "It's good to come back" carries a lot of worries and thoughts.

Su Han's nose is slightly sour, his eyes are astringent, he has been flicking his fingers for thirty years, everything in his previous life has long been blurred, everything in this life is real, this is his home, here is his own family, no matter how good it is outside, then it is leisurely, and then it is comfortable, and finally it is not as warm as home, maybe he should have come back a long time ago.

The night is deep, driving away the clouds and obscuring the moon.

The return of the old man made everyone have no intention of continuing, and the banquet ended hastily, Su Han pushed open the door of the backyard study with apprehension, walked in, and saw the vicissitudes of life.

Although the Xu family of Weiyuan Marquis is not one of the seventeen families in the world, it is also regarded as a Lingyou clan, living in Qinyang Mansion, and other Huaiyuan Marquis Zhang Jin of Linxiang Mansion, Jingyuan Marquis Lin Zhen of Changping Mansion, Zhenyuan Marquis Li Dong of Chentan Mansion, and Weiyuan Marquis Qutong of Nanling Mansion. There is also Nanyang County Gong Shao Xianzu, the palm of the Seventh Army, Shizhen Lingyou. The Five Mansions and Seven Armies are the strongest force of Daqian in Lingyou, there are nearly thirty congenital exterior powerhouses here, and Shao Xianzu himself is the Grandmaster of the Law Minister, such a strength can already be compared with the top forces.

But this is not enough to deter southern Xinjiang.

Not to mention the hinterland of southern Xinjiang deep in the Hengduan Mountains, even the sixteen southeastern countries bordering Daqian, not all of them are human races, and there are even more people and gods who live together. The Daqian Terrans have always been very wary of these alien races, and although they are also in power in the Sixteen Kingdoms, their vigilance against these aliens has never been broken from the Middle Ages to the present. Therefore, above the temple, the situation is tense, but Lingyou is also calm.

Xu Heng of the Xu family himself is a martial artist in the Celestial Realm, Su Han's second uncle Xu Hui is also worthy of vitality, and the old man Xu Hong is the peak of the Celestial Phenomena and can already map the exterior scene.

On the way of martial arts, open the gap between heaven and man, and after the resonance of vitality, you can swim in the sea of vitality, on the one hand, lock the essence, on the other hand, replenish the innate vitality, and prolong the life of Jiazi. Once you reach the peak of the celestial phenomena, you can map the exterior to see your own body, get rid of old diseases, complete yourself, and prolong your life by one or two more nails.

The old man worked hard for a family business in his early years, and he married late, at this time he was nearly 100 years old, but for the two or three hundred years old Shouyuan of the celestial powerhouse, it was just the prime of life.

But the person in front of Su Han is full of decline, without the spirit of a top master, and he is full of wind and dust, showing the vicissitudes of life.

Su Han was in a depressed mood, just like the night in the courtyard, and bowed sincerely and said, "Don't let your grandson give a gift to your grandfather." ”

Old man Xu looked at the grandson in front of him and described it complicated, this is his eldest son and grandson, and there is a saying that he is a relative of the next generation, he is simply regarded as a jewel, just from the word "yin" in his name, you can see that the old man has a treasure for him.

In the past 20 years, although Mr. Xu has tried his best, how can he find it all in the world. In recent years, he has even removed the title of Marquis of Wei Yuan, and is bent on finding people, but he has not gained anything.

Seeing it at the moment, it should have been good news, but looking at its heavy steps, casual breathing, and no sympathetic characteristics with the vitality of heaven and earth, it can be seen that martial arts are wasted, and the grandson who has placed so high hopes is embarrassed, how can he be in a good mood to celebrate the meeting. A thousand words finally converged into one sentence: "It's good to come back, it's good to come back." ”

......

When Su Han returned to the bedroom, it was already the middle of the moon, the old man was not a person who was good at expressing feelings, their ancestors and grandchildren just sat quietly and looked at each other without saying a word, and finally Su Han spoke first and told the experience he had just told Tao in the front hall again, and then retired.

Su Han's bedroom at this time is not his original courtyard, but a guest house, after all, Xia Zihuan originally lived there, although according to the Daqian etiquette law, it is a legitimate husband and wife, but after all, they have never met, and it will be embarrassing if they go back directly.

So Su Han casually found a guest room to sleep in, as for Xia Zihuan's matter, I can only talk about it later. Dow also understood this situation, did not say anything, and pretended not to know.

It was still early to go to bed, and there was no entertainment, so Su Han walked into the bedroom and sat down, and went straight to the meditation, and daily homework was essential.

When Su Han settled down, in a courtyard in the east chamber of Xufu, the rockery was accompanied by green and ancient trees, and it was quite gratifying to decorate this small space, and all of them were full of the craftsman's unique thoughts. The people of the Xu Mansion walk here, often with a sense of awe, because here lives the daughter-in-law of the Xu family, although she is only the daughter of a small businessman, but the old lady has a home for her love, and it is by no means comparable to other ladies and gentlemen.

In the main house of the courtyard, Xia Zihuan changed into a light pink nightgown, sat in front of the dressing table, faced the bronze mirror, and quietly removed her makeup. There is only one candlestick lit in the room, the eaves of the corridor are prominent, the moonlight can't shine in, the surroundings are dark, the flickering candle flame illuminates Xia Zihuan's delicate face, and the scene projected on the bronze mirror is a little bizarre, which looks inexplicably weird.

The night is getting deeper, the noise outside the house is gone, and only Xia Zihuan is still quietly combing the green silk in the room, her movements are soft and timeless, like a beautiful picture.

"What do you have to say about this?"

Xia Zihuan opened her lips lightly and suddenly spoke, breaking this beautiful atmosphere, her voice was soft and glutinous, like a whisper to her lover, but with the environment where she was alone, there was a different kind of demonic reveal.

"It happened suddenly, and we are investigating. It was none other than Xia Zihuan in the bronze mirror who answered her, the same voice, the same mystery. Accompanied by Zhou Cao's environment, a creepy atmosphere gradually spread.

"This is the answer you gave me", Xia Zihuan's voice suddenly turned stronger, and the invisible energy filled the room, and even the candle flame on the side was no longer flickering, and it was silent.

But the person in the mirror was not afraid, and his voice was a little lower: "Princess Tianxin, this is an accident, no one wants it, and the above wants me to warn you, lose your temper less in the future, this time it is not only Xu Ruoyin who is back, but also the old guy Xu Hong, who is not only coming back this time, but also the old guy Xu Hong, his ten thousand catastrophes are scattered, I don't need me to remind you, now that his grandson is back, we have no excuse to transfer him out again, your hidden difficulty has skyrocketed, and what is even more worrying is that he is now exhausted, and the sublimation method is just around the corner to achieve a martial arts master." The great master of sublimation Faru, what is the level and what can he do, even if you don't know, you should be able to imagine that in the face of this kind of existence, they can tell at a glance whether you are a human or a ghost. So let you be careful, so that you can save your life. ”

Xia Zihuan's eyebrows were full of gloom: "Why did you give me such a dangerous job, why didn't you withdraw me?"

The person in the mirror is equally tough: "The door has been planning for more than ten years, how can it be terminated because of this little accident?"

"Then what if I've been exposed?" Xia Zihuan barely calmed down and thought of another possibility: "Perhaps, then Xu Ruoyin is a person from the imperial court." ”

"It's impossible," the voice of the nail and the iron sounded from the mirror: "Who are you as Xu Hong and Xu Heng, you can't even tell your own blood? If you say that the imperial court has been prepared, it doesn't make sense, that guy has disappeared for twenty years, we only had a plan ten years ago, and it is impossible for the imperial court to set up a net to wait for us here twenty years ago." If they have such means, we don't have to hide it, just wipe our necks. ”

Xia Zihuan was completely quiet, and was silent for a long time before saying, "It's okay to ask me to stay and work hard, but if I want support, I want Seven Heart Flowers." ”

"Oh, your seven emotions are extinguished?" The voice in the mirror was surprised at first, and then relaxed: "This is a good thing, the stronger your strength, the more conducive to our plan, these days you find an excuse to leave the Xu Mansion, we will send someone to help you digest the Seven Heart Flower and help you break through." Okay, now that there are masters in the house, you and I should not talk for too long, if there is nothing to do, don't contact easily. After Xu Ruoyin's background is clarified, we will try to inform you, so be it for now. ”

As soon as the words fell, the darkness in the room inexplicably faded a little, and the moonlight shot out of the window and sprinkled on Xia Zihuan's quiet face. She put down the jade comb as usual, stood up, approached the bed, and slept on her side.

......

There is also a small exquisite courtyard in the west chamber, and the three big characters of "Yuqiong Yuan" are written on the courtyard door, and the dragon flying and the phoenix dance are quite emotional.

In the main room in the courtyard, Su Han's second brother and daughter-in-law, Zhu Yingdai, frowned deeply, walked back and forth, and every time she looked at the figure sitting in the main hall, holding a book, and reading quietly, she wanted to speak for a while.

Inadvertently, the candle flame in the hall exploded a little fireworks. Xu Minxing raised his eyes and glanced at Zhu Ying, and said impatiently: "Okay, don't turn around, I'm dizzy from you." ”

Zhu Ying saw him talking, and immediately stood up and said urgently: "You are still in the mood to read here, I ......"

"I know what you're going to say. Xu Minxing's face was indifferent, and he waved his hand to interrupt: "Some time ago, the eldest brother was not there, and I had the responsibility to share my father's worries, but now that the eldest brother is back, he is the eldest son, so naturally everything must be returned to him." ”

Zhu Ying was angry: "I know that you are an elm head, and the Xu family can have today, isn't it all your credit, just because he was born two years earlier than you, so he has to give all this away?"

Indeed, the Xu family is not a big family, but only from Xu Hong's generation began to make a fortune, Xu Hong Xu Heng is indeed good at martial arts, but he is not good at management, if there is no Xu Minxing in the calculation, there is no power that can dominate the palace today, after all, no matter how big the power needs financial support, so it is no wonder that Zhu Ying is not angry.

"Bang" Xu Minxing raised his eyebrows, slammed the book in his hand on the table, and scolded: "Bastard, what is him, he, he, even the eldest brother doesn't know how to shout?

When Xu Minxing got married, the Xu family was not so developed, so Zhu Ying was just the daughter of Xu Heng's lieutenant, born in the market, Xu Minxing's face usually sank, and she was so scared that she didn't dare to squeak, not to mention that she was now dropping books.

She was suddenly frightened and silent, and she didn't dare to say anything more, but there was still a thick reluctance flashing in her eyes.

Xu Minxing naturally saw that he was not a domineering person, and the husband and wife had always respected each other like guests, so after pondering for a while, he explained: "You are really a woman's opinion, first of all, the Xu family can have today, which is the result of the increasing skill of grandfather and father. Secondly, two years earlier is the eldest and the younger are the elders, and the order of the young and the young is the eternal truth. Only by following this principle can we cut off the thoughts of those delusional, and everyone can perform their duties and contribute to the family together to avoid internal friction. If the elder does not know the young, and the young do not respect the elder, the family will be restless, and the country will be in chaos. Since ancient times, those who have achieved the best of merit can establish a century-old family, but now, those who can really be called a family have geometry. It's not all about the woe and the wall, and you fight for me to decline. With so many lessons from the past, if you don't wake up, the Xu family will not be able to survive three generations. Today I have the heart to replace the eldest brother, and the third brother will have the heart to replace me on the other day, and the fourth brother will think about it again on another day, and Xu Jia'an can last a long time? I have made up my mind to return to my father tomorrow to assist my eldest brother in handling household chores. ”

"Okay, I'm tired, go to bed. ”

After speaking, he ignored Zhu Ying's ability to figure it out, waved his hand to extinguish the candle, turned around and walked towards the bedroom.
