Chapter 13: A Trick and a Conspiracy (2)
Raymond House, a light-filled glass building with glass on all sides that allows sunlight to shine in unhindered and warms every corner, is transformed into a bloody field of ice with lavish bluestone dome decorations and magnificent red jade agate floors.
Valuable items, from small jewelry and utensils to calligraphy and paintings, sculptures, can be seen everywhere, and the style includes European and Chinese styles, and there is no lack of elegance and longevity of Western culture, nor is there a lack of ancient atmosphere of Eastern culture.
There are more than 20 time-consuming and labor-intensive carved rosewood, wenge wood, and iron wood wood carvings, and the largest and most precious is undoubtedly the overlord farewell concubine wood carving in the center of the hall, which is almost extinct to descend the fragrant sandalwood.
Michael, who has been here, gave a pertinent evaluation after studying the objects with a magnifying glass many times: only this one room can top half of the bustling town.
Adam, who has short blond hair and is very handsome, and his cousin Aounbab sit on a comfortable velvet sofa across the precious rosewood table, and after a series of wedding matters, the third butler Nemoh leads the wedding leaders out of the room to prepare for the wedding.
As a bride, Vanessa was dragged away by Adam's sisters who came back when she arrived at Lei Yiju, and a group of married beautiful wives and eldest ladies surrounded the bride who was about to become the second lady of the Augustine family, laughing and laughing, and Vanessa, who had always shown a cold face, felt stage fright for the first time.
The water spilled by the married girl, this sentence has no truth in the Augustine family, even if they have been married for many years, the group of eldest ladies who grew up on Thor Island still come back every now and then, and often together, and when they come back, they are a group.
And for the famous family who married the eldest lady of the Augustine family, the eldest lady leaving her mother's house is the only time for these wealthy nobles to breathe a sigh of relief, after all, there is a master with a great background at home, even the patriarch of the family has to worry all day long.
If one is not taken care of, the hand of electric silver will come to the door, and the domineering of the Augustine family is not something that ordinary wealthy nobles can afford.
The poor have the happiness of being poor, and the rich also have the troubles of being rich, especially when it comes to the status of the eldest lady of the Augustine family, there is no need to pursue any material things, but the spirit has become a disaster instead.
Adam had a sister who had loved him since he was a child, Aounbab, the elder sister of Aounbab, but he was loved more than Auunbab's own brother.
Aounbab told him more than once: Sometimes I wonder if my sister has been born in the wrong place, cousin, you should be her own brother.
Aoen Tianyuan is a woman who has the courage to pursue true love, but unfortunately the heavens do not fulfill people's wishes, and she did not get happiness when she found true love, living on Thor Island, and has not married yet.
Aoun's boyfriend died in a shipwreck, and he died young, which became her heart disease and the reason for her gradual weakening of her feelings for the Augustine family.
Adam still remembers the time when she looked at Sister Yuanyuan, she sat on the edge of the cliff and looked at the scene of the sea and said: Born in a wealthy family, the soul loses its freedom, and behind it stands Augustine, a hidden wealthy family that limits the scope of love, who is not sad?
Aoun's boyfriend died in a shipwreck, but he died in a shipwreck during the search for Thor Island. Because of the particularity of the family itself, the female marriage in the Augustinian family can only be known to the famous family of the Augustinian family. And knowing the Augustine family means that you also know about the existence of the Sword Tomb, there are only a handful of famous families in the world who can have this qualification, so for the women in the Augustine family, there are very few good companions to choose.
There are a lot of marriage proposals every year, but they are basically sanctimonious snobs who come for the wealth and power of the Augustine family.
This kind of rule that explains pedantic but had to be followed, under the squandered wealth of the Augustinian family, few women rebelled, and most chose to go against the grain.
The fiercest resistance was the Aoun Duck.
Aoun Tianyuan is Adam's first woman who thinks that the spirit is truly independent, and it is also his enlightenment teacher who does not regard wealth as too important, and Aoun Tianyuan's character is also unprecedented, even Adam is helpless when facing his sister, and he has a headache.
The struggle also starts with a trip to the Mandarin Duck, who went out to love a man who couldn't be more ordinary, and the man also loved her deeply. But no matter how sincere the love is, no matter how beautiful the marriage is, it is destined to not get a good result when each other's identities are very different.
If it is an ordinary woman in the family, the Augustine family allows her to marry other people in the Thor Islands except for the clan, which can be regarded as a curvilinear change from the pedantic rules of the clan elders.
But Aoun Tianyuan is not an ordinary woman in the family, and Aounbab's current strength and the identity of the leader of the hand of the electric silver have spoken for themselves.
Knowing that Aoun Tianyuan likes an ordinary person, the clan elder will immediately order the hand of electric silver to bring Orn Tianyuan back to the family, and the boyfriend who has heard about Thor Island from his girlfriend for a long time, in order to find his lover, resolutely embarked on the road to find the mysterious and unknown island of Thor Island.
In the end, the Atlantic tsunami took the life of Aoun's boyfriend, and Aoun Tianyuan also held a grudge against the family.
Whether the death of her boyfriend is the cause of his own decisions and actions, or whether he blames the turbulent tsunami or the pedantic rules of the Augustinian family, no one can say who should bear the life debt.
Adam had a similar experience of his sister's suffering, because of the identity of the young patriarch, his bride was destined to be the right person, and whether it was the identity of the adopted daughter of the head of the Ministry of Orders or the status of the deputy team of the Dusk of the Ministry of Orders, it was a little worse, and his grandfather's strong opposition also made him taste the bitterness of unfulfilled love more than once.
Fortunately, [Dao Sword Ming Qi] chose the master, he became the lord of thunder and lightning, and really had the right to speak in the family, and his grandfather finally agreed to his marriage application. Speaking of which, he can be regarded as a light that Jool's escape.
Just as his thoughts wandered, a faint dragon-like groan pierced through the unopened electronic glass into the extravagant room, bringing Adam back to his senses.
Aounbab, who was holding the back of the sofa with one hand, jumped up suddenly, walked to the glass in three or two steps, looked at the direction where the beast's groan came from, and asked curiously, "Cousin, are there any beasts in the Thunder and Mist Forest?" ”
Adam glanced casually at the white mist-shrouded thunder pool, knowing that the "Heart of the European Core" had been sent to the core area of the thunder pool to be guarded and protected by the scales.
"Xixi Straw Mirror Heavenly Ancestor, Arrogant Scales, first-class electric silver in the past dynasties, presumably they will not underestimate the core area of Thunder Pond in the future." His voice was slight, imagining the change in the expressions of Djoarnov and the other Xuan Masters all the way into the Thunder Mist Forest.
"Cousin, what do you say?" Aounbab turned his head.
"It's nothing, there's just a long worm in the Forest of Thunder and Mist." Adam shook his head and answered his cousin's question.
If Xixi Straw Mirror, Abraham, Ai Yipi and the others knew that Adam called His Excellency Scaly Jiao'er Aoqiao, who guarded the core area of the Thunder Pool, he didn't know how he would feel.
"Long worms?" Aounbab's eyebrows were not lowered, and he became the leader of the new generation of electric silver hands, he had also entered the Thunder Mist Forest, and penetrated a considerable distance, but he had never heard of the existence of snakes in the Thunder Mist Forest.
Listening to this voice, it is definitely a mutated snake, staying in an environment rich in thunder and lightning all year round, and the long worm does not want to escape the catastrophe of mutation.
Adam, who picked up the wine glass from the fragrant rosewood table, suddenly asked Aounbab, "Who proposed to put the 'Heart of the European Core' in the Thunder Pool for safekeeping?" ”
"The Elders." No more groans were heard, and Aounbab walked back.
"Who are the Elders? My grandfather? Adam asked, of course he knew it was the Elders' Council, and if it weren't for his grandfather contacting him, there wouldn't be the scene where he confronted Leigh.
"Not really, it seems to be...... The elder of the nine clans, yes, it was proposed by the elder of the nine clans. Aounbab scratched his head and thought for a while and said, "The elder of the Nine Clans said that putting the 'Heart of the European Core' in the Thunder Pool can not only play a role in safekeeping, but also facilitate the family's research on the core of heaven and earth. The elders of the big clan were originally opposed, but they couldn't resist the other clan elders agreeing, and they could only agree in the end. ”
"Why is Grandfather against?" Adam looked up at the bluestone dome and seemed to be talking to himself.
"It should be afraid that Lei Chi will have an accident, after all, without Lei Chi, there would be no current family." Aounbab said, "The reason why the elders of the two clans agreed is that they hope to make the family go to a higher level and stand on a new level by studying the core of heaven and earth. ”
"New heights." Adam chuckled, "Isn't the current high-level clan elder of the family still dissatisfied?" No matter how high it is, it will really fall, don't they know how many people are waiting to see the good show of the family? ”
Aounbab shrugged his shoulders, picked up the half-drunk red wine, shook his head and said: "They only think about how to strengthen the family now, but maintaining the family is the most difficult, this part is now carried by the uncle, and it will be you cousin in the future." ”
"Don't you want to be in the wind all day long? I've heard that you got involved a lot some time ago. Adam squinted at him.
Aounbab's face was sneering: "How can there be? I'm going to find out one by one to see which one suits my appetite, but it's a pity, thirteen or fourteen, none of them are excited, why don't I have the good fortune of cousin to meet a sweetheart? ”
Adam didn't pay any attention to this cousin who was a bit "watery poplar", and looked out at the not-so-good sky and wandered.
Within a few minutes, the door opened automatically, and a person walked into the room, and when he saw someone coming, Aounbab got up: "Patriarch." ”
The person who came was none other than the patriarch of the Augustine family, Jades, who waved his hand slightly at Aounbab: "Sit, I've told you several times, it's okay to call your uncle at home." ”
"Yes, uncle." In front of Jades, Aounbab has become a completely good child, not behaving well, if he turns back to be known by his mother, he will not be able to eat and walk around, and his family's tutor is notoriously strict in the family.
Of course, a large part of the strict tutoring is because of his own sister, Ao En Tianyuan.
Ever since that incident, my parents have always felt ashamed of my sister, and felt that if I had disciplined her strictly, my sister would not have gone out at will, and she would not have known that man.
Therefore, in order to prevent the tragedy from happening to him again, his parents disciplined him very strictly, inside and out, large and small, and there were rules, forming a set of family rules that the clan considered the most stringent in the history of the Augustinian family.
Parents don't know that this is not a problem of discipline, with his understanding of his sister, discipline can't help his sister with an independent soul and a stubborn personality.
On the issue of family discipline and discipline, Aounbab, who understood his parents, did not resist anything.
Aounbab knows that he is different from his sister, he is cheerful by nature, cheerful to the point of being too cheerful, and there is nothing he can't think about, so in line with the principle of filial piety to make his parents feel better, he chose to be yang and yin, and he is a humble and polite gentleman with his family elders, and when he is with his brothers and sisters, he becomes the boy who smiles and laughs all day long.
In fact, the elders who are old and mature can see this little trick of Aounbab, which child of the family is not the eldest lady and which is not the son-in-law? No, it's not normal, so they turn a blind eye to poor Aounbab.
"How are you preparing for the wedding? Are there any of the 20 wedding plans that you can be satisfied with? If I'm not satisfied, I'll let people design some more. Jades looked at his son, who was a talented man, and he was very happy that his son could be happy, and he was very happy as a father.
"It's all too fancy, I want to keep it low-key, and Vanessa thinks that way." Adam looked at his father, who was sitting across from him, but his face was full of joy, which was already showing some signs of aging.
The marriage of a son is not happy without a father.
"You are the protagonists of the wedding, as long as it does not affect the fame and reputation of the family, I have no objection to holding it, and no one in the family, including the clan elders' association, will object." Jeders said.
"Sure enough, when the fame and reputation of the family are the most important." Adam said.
Jades didn't tell his son, but looked at Auunbab: "Bab, you go and tell Mr. Deenzad, the chief designer of the family's wedding, that how the wedding is held depends on the will of the bride and groom. ”
The shrewd Aounbab answered, and walked away briskly, without saying, "Cousin has already spoken to Mr. Dernzade," for he saw that his uncle meant to speak to him alone.
