A year later.

"Dad, there's news from the imperial capital. A young man ran up and said.

"Calm down, how can you achieve great things with your appearance, the whole family will still need you to support you in the future, and you don't even have this bit of energy, how can I rest assured that the entire family will be handed over to you in the future!" Seeing the young man who came to run in without even knocking on the office door, the clan leader hated the iron and said in a steely manner.

"Hey, hey. Dad, there's news coming from the imperial capital. In the face of the clan master's tough momentum, the young man did not have much fear, scratched his head a little embarrassedly, and repeated it again, obviously this situation has appeared more than once or twice.

"What's the news?"

"Zuo Xiang's only granddaughter is half an adult this year, so Zuo Xiang's father is going to hold a birthday celebration for his granddaughter in two months. So, should we prepare?" the eldest young master asked tentatively.

"Of course you have to prepare, do you still need me to explain it to you?" asked the clan leader rhetorically.

The six nobles in the main city are not just because they have the economic lifeline of each main city can become the six nobles, in addition to the cooperation with the forces, having a strong partner in the imperial capital is also a very important factor. The so-called "there are people in the DPRK who are easy to do" is like this, not to mention the big family that dominates the economy of one side, even the people who are officials outside the country, they will more or less have some eyeliner in the imperial capital, after all, things in the camp are changing rapidly, if you can't get effective information at the first time, it is easy to make a correct judgment on the future plan.

And the Mester family, the most confidant partner in the imperial capital is the Wei family, the left minister of the imperial capital. The Mestre family and the Wei family can be called generations of friends, because there is cooperation in many aspects, so the relationship between the Mestre family and the Wei family has become inseparable partners after several generations of exchanges. At the same time, because there have been several generations of marriages, or like-minded marriages, the Wei family and the Mestre family can even be called a family of in-laws. Therefore, it is natural to be cautious about the important things of the Wei family.

In fact, the Wei family was a hundred years ago. It is also a very large family, but because of some unhappiness during the imperial capital council a hundred years ago, the Wei family's power in the court has declined. Now, a hundred years later, although Wei Yang once again brought the Wei family to the once prosperous wealthy power with his outstanding talent, it is difficult for the Wei family to increase the number of people who are dwindling in the court, even if his power in the court flourishes again. To add insult to injury, ten years ago, Wei Yang's only son and daughter-in-law were attacked by demonic beasts when they went to Lincheng Province to kiss each other, and both died in a foreign land. Up to now, the Wei family has a direct bloodline. There are only Wei Yang, the left minister of the dynasty, and Wei Ziyuan, the only granddaughter.

may be because of the early death of Ziyuan's parents, or the Wei family has only such a single seedling relationship, Wei Yang treats this granddaughter like a treasure. Now that Wei Yang is going to hold a half-adult birthday celebration for Ziyuan, it will naturally be extremely grand. And the Mestre family, as the closest ally of the Wei family, of course, has to come up with a more sincere celebration gift than other families.

"Oh, then I'll go down and prepare. As soon as the patriarch said this, the young man answered with understanding, and then turned around and walked out.

"Wait a minute, Xiao Ao. "The young man is going out. The patriarch seemed to have suddenly changed his mind and called the young man back.

"What's wrong?"

"I'll do it myself, it's better for you to follow me this time, and I'm not at ease if I'm handed it over to you alone. The patriarch thought about it for a moment. He changed his ways.

"Didn't you say that I was going to prepare?" asked Xiao Ao unhappily.

"It's different this time, it's better to be cautious, you've only been in the clan for a year, and you haven't done anything like this yet. Let's follow me and watch. ”

"Oh. By the way, Xiaopeng also came back a few days ago, anyway, it's all about observing. Do you want to bring Xiaopeng with you?"

"Xiaopeng is also back? What about your second uncle, why don't I know that Xiaopeng is back. ”

"It has nothing to do with the second uncle, the second uncle escorted the supplies to Cloud City, Xiaopeng was called back by me, and the three of us brothers haven't been together for more than two years. Anyway, the second uncle is not here, Xiaopeng has nothing to do, and it is good to come back to accompany his mother. ”

"It's hard for you, the Mester family is not ordinary, the rise and fall of our family is related to the fortune of Jingcheng, if you don't train you to be better, how can I rest assured that the whole family will be handed over to you, let you go out to practice, it is also for you to be more productive, don't blame Dad for being strict with you, born as a child of the Mester family, you are destined to bear more things than others, and in return, you can also get things that others can't get in their lifetime." ”

"We all know that this past year has been so smooth in the family, thanks to the experience honed outside the past few years. Dad, Xiaopeng is also back, why don't you let Xiaolong come back too, Xiaolong is talented and intelligent, and after more than a year of training, he should figure it out. Moreover, Xiaolong is the same age as Wei Ziyuan, so he should have an understanding of Wei Ziyuan's preferences and the like, and he may be able to let Xiaolong come up with some ideas at that time. Seeing the clan leader's rare expression of ease, Xiao Ao immediately brought up Xiaolong's matter.

"Xiaolong, you care about your brothers. Well, more than a year, it's time for him to come back, and tomorrow you go and get him back. By the way, what is the state of your martial arts now?"

"It has just been armed, and its ability value is more than 31,000. Thank you Dad, Xiaolong will not disappoint you when the time comes. ”

"It's been a long time since you've seen Xiaolong, I mean, to talk about it seriously. As if he was afraid that Xiao Ao would not understand, he added another sentence.

"Seriously, he's only eight years old, is it useful to be so formal?" Xiao Ao was stunned and asked confusedly.

"You look down on Xiaolong too much, regardless of your heart, I'm afraid that even you are inferior to him in terms of IQ. Forget it, it's useless to talk to you about this, I hope he can give up his boring martial arts. The clan idea waved his hand happily.

"Isn't that a good thing that I have a higher IQ than I am? It should be easier for children to understand children's preferences, and when the time comes, Xiaolong may be better than all of us. ”

"How old are you, why are you still so naïve. Do you think this is really a gift for Wei Ziyuan? This is an opportunity to bridge the gap between the Meister family and the Wei family, if it is just a child's birthday, why bother so much. Child...... Don't wait for tomorrow, go today, and bring the little dragon back....... In addition, you talk to your conscience, let him teach Xiaolong martial arts tomorrow, you and Xiaopeng don't get involved in this matter anymore, I already have a plan, when you go out, go and call Ah Fu over for me, I have something to explain to him. ”

"Huh?" Xiao Ao would never have thought that the clan master would have such a big contrast, at the beginning when he mentioned Xiaolong, he still had a lukewarm attitude, but now he seems to have picked up a treasure. Xiao Ao, who was incomprehensible for a while, exclaimed unconsciously.

"Ahh Slowly, it's up to you and Xiaopeng to prepare the gift yourself, you decide what to choose, and it's not too important what the gift is. ”

"Oh. ”

□□□

"Ah Fu, in the past few days, you can put aside the affairs in the clan and hand them over to the eldest young master, you can concentrate on accompanying the third young master and take care of the third young master. ”

"Take care of the third young master, what does the clan master mean...... , are you going to bring the third young master back?" Hearing what the clan master said, Ah Fu didn't know what the clan master meant, and asked with joy at the moment.

"Sort of, I'm going to tell him about family affairs, so I must take care of the third young master during this time. In addition, keep a good watch on the third young master's martial arts, and notify me as soon as possible when he is about to be armed. ”

"Yes. I don't know which girl is actually so blessed that she can be chosen by the clan master?"

"There is nothing to be blessed with, the other party is the daughter of the imperial capital Zuo Xiang's family, and there has always been an alliance of in-laws for thousands of years, this time it is just inheriting the tradition of the predecessors. If you have any requirements during this time, just mention it to me, and I will provide you with everything that can be satisfied, there is only one request, take care of the third young master, don't go wrong during this time, and I will personally take the third young master to the imperial capital to propose marriage. ”

"Isn't that ...... the Imperial Capital Zuo Xiangjia?"

Now the Zuo Xiang's family is already a single lineage, although the person who is passed down is a woman, it is impossible to marry into another family, so he can only recruit a son-in-law to continue the bloodline of the Wei family. And since the clan master can say that he is engaged to the third young master and Wei Ziyuan, he probably wants to give up the third young master and let him join the Zuo Xiang family. No wonder the clan leader suddenly changed his mind and asked people to invite the third young master back, and let himself take care of him, it turned out that he had already planned to send the third young master, a not very likable person, to another family.

"You just need to do your job well, shut up if there are some things that you shouldn't ask, don't lose your identity if it has anything to do with the third young master." Before Ah Fu finished speaking, the clan leader reprimanded.

"However, the third young master and the Zuo Xiang family have not met yet, with the third young master's temperament, it is very likely that he will refuse his marriage in front of you, won't it be a troublesome break up when the time comes?"

"I know what kind of character he is, and if it weren't for his premature mental maturity, why would I have gotten to where I am now. The third child lives a monotonous life on weekdays, and he doesn't have much opportunity to meet outsiders, so this time he took him to the imperial capital and let him get along with the girl of Zuo Xiang's family for a while, probably he won't refuse. Okay, wait for the boss to pick him up, you hurry up and prepare, explain the matter at hand, and take over the matter of the third young master. ”

"Yes......" After the patriarch said this, Ah Fu had no choice but to come down and retreat. (To be continued......)
