Volume 1 The First Sight of Life Chapter 3 The Mansion of the Eldest Sun
Thinking about what the young master said just now, Chu Li couldn't sleep a little, although he had lived hard in this slum for more than three months, Chu Li felt very satisfied.
Although the days in the house were worry-free, the daily intrigue made Chu Li feel tired and tired. And the young master's position in the mansion is very delicate now, although there is a family master to protect the young master, but from the performance of the family master last time, it is not difficult to see that the family master is already weak, if the family master is not there one day, Mrs. Hua will definitely be the first to get rid of the young master.
Thinking of this, Chu Li couldn't hold back any longer, and said, "Young Master..."
"I haven't slept yet." The eldest grandson did not fall asleep either.
was interrupted by the eldest grandson, and Chu Li didn't say what he wanted to say, "Hmm..."
"What's the matter, Chu Li has something on his mind?" The eldest grandson asked.
"Young master, why should we go back, I don't want the young master to live in this slum, I will do more work and earn more silver taels so that we can move out, but ...... We don't actually have to go back to the house. Chu Li grabbed the eldest grandson's arm, so much so that he was a little hard because he was in a hurry.
"Alright, Chu Li, I know what you're worried about. Don't worry, don't worry about me. The eldest grandson comforted.
"But, young master..."Chu Li was about to say something, but was interrupted by the eldest grandson.
"Sleep, when the dawn comes, it is a new beginning, and we have to meet new challenges, so take care of your spirits." The eldest grandson said and turned his head to look at Chu Li.
Looking at the eldest grandson's firm eyes, Chu Li's hanging heart also quieted down for some reason, nodded, and then hugged the eldest grandson's arm and fell asleep.
The next day, the eldest grandson got up as usual when the first ray of sunlight pierced the sky, and after a simple wash, he went out for a walk as usual, and when the eldest grandson came back from his walk, Chu Li had already made breakfast.
The two had a simple breakfast, Chu Li cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and after Chu Li arranged everything, the eldest grandson said, "Okay, let's go." ”
"Hmm..."Chu Li obviously had feelings for the place where he had lived for more than three months, and his mood was a little low.
After listening to the conversation between the two families yesterday, the eldest grandson knew that the current situation was the only way to return to the house to seek a way out, otherwise he and Chu Li would live under the surveillance of Mrs. Hua for the rest of their lives, if one day the old man was gone, Mrs. Hua would no longer have any scruples, and then his life and that of Chu Li would be completely in the hands of Mrs. Hua.
Chu Li reluctantly locked the door, finally looked at the place that had given him warmth for more than three months, turned around and left here with the eldest grandson.
The two of them left like this, and neither of them came back for a long time afterward, and the memories of more than three months have always warmed the two of them for a long time.
Out of the slums, the two walked on the way back to the city, only a dozen miles, but it was a long trip for the eldest grandson, the eldest grandson who had been pampered since childhood was weak, and his physical strength was not even as good as Chu Li, who was one year younger than himself, so he stopped and stopped along the way.
On the way, Chu Li had been preoccupied, but the eldest grandson was calm, and the two had nothing to say all the way, and in the end, Chu Li couldn't help but break the silence.
"Young Master, will we go back to Mrs. Hua like this..."Chu Li wanted to say whether Mrs. Hua would be unlucky to the young master, but thinking that saying this would be a little disrespectful to Mrs. Hua, he swallowed back in the middle of the sentence.
The eldest grandson stopped, and happened to feel tired, and wanted to stop and rest for a while.
The eldest grandson turned his head to look at Chu Li, who was looking down and had something on his mind, and guessed what she hadn't finished, "Do you want to say that Mrs. Hua has bad intentions towards me?" Now that it's out, why do you have to go back and throw yourself into the net? ”
"Hmm...," Chu Li nodded.
"Chu Li, have you ever heard a saying that the most dangerous place is the safest place? The reason why Mrs. Hua has not done anything to me is because of my grandfather, if we can still seek protection from my grandfather in the house, then in this slum we are like lambs to the slaughter, and Mrs. Hua can drop the knife hanging from our necks at any time. The eldest grandson said calmly, but the cruelty revealed in his words did not seem to come out of the mouth of a thirteen-year-old boy.
"But young master, the master's body..."Chu Li wanted to say that the master's body was getting weaker and weaker, and he might not be able to shelter us for long, but he thought that it would be disrespectful to the master to say this, so he only said half of the words.
"I know Grandpa's body, but now we can only go back to the mansion and find a glimmer of life in a desperate situation." The eldest grandson said.
After listening to the young master's words, Chu Li knew that the young master had made up his mind, and now that the two of them had only this one way to go, Chu Li would no longer be entangled.
At noon, the two finally walked to the gate of the city, and looking at the Lishan City that was close at hand, the eldest grandson couldn't help but marvel again.
Looking at Lishan City up close, it was even more majestic, and the breath that came to his face made the eldest grandson feel as if he was an ancient giant beast in front of him.
Walking into the city gate, the city and the outside of the city seem to be two worlds, the hustle and bustle in the city makes the eldest grandson who has been living a peaceful life for several months a little uncomfortable, and there are all kinds of shouting and bargaining from the street stalls, so it is not lively.
The two followed their memories to the front of the Changsun Mansion, the entire Lishan City was built against the mountain, and the buildings were also built on the mountain with the terrain, and the Changsun Mansion was built in the highest place in the city, such a superior terrain also highlights the status of the Changsun family, the ruler of Lishan City.
The eldest grandson looked at the vermilion mansion door, the two stone lions in front of the mansion were vivid, as if they were going to devour people, and the mansion on TV in the previous life was so consistent, but it was more courageous.
The eldest grandson did not enter the mansion for a long time, and Chu Li stood quietly behind the young master, the two of them were dressed in tatters, and they stood at the door of the eldest grandson's mansion stupidly, making people think that they were two people called Hanako who had never seen the world.
Seeing the two "beggars" standing at the door and refusing to leave, the guards were a little impatient and shouted: "Where did you come from called Hanako, I don't know if this is the Changsun Mansion, hurry up and get aside." ”
Chu Li saw that his subordinates dared to talk to the young master like this, and he was about to teach this subordinate a lesson, but he didn't want the young master to suddenly open his mouth.
"Where did you come from, the dog slave, you are blind, you can't even recognize Young Master Ben, and you don't want to stay in the Eldest Sun Mansion." I saw that the eldest grandson seemed to be a different person, scolding at his subordinates, and his domineering appearance was even more terrifying than the stone lion next to him.
The subordinate who guarded the door was startled by the sudden momentum caused by the eldest grandson, and when he looked at it, it was really the eldest grandson, and he immediately panicked, but suddenly remembered that Mrs. Hua had sent someone to tell him that if the young master came back, he would quietly bring the young master to Mrs. first.
Thinking of this, the gatekeeper suddenly had no idea, and he didn't know whether to let the eldest grandson enter the mansion.
The eldest grandson saw that the gatekeeper was stunned at the door, and he didn't welcome him into the door, so he suddenly became angry, doubled his voice, and shouted: "You dog slave seems to have really eaten the bear's heart and leopard guts, and you dare to stop Young Master Ben, don't you want to live." ”
was shouted by the eldest grandson, and the subordinates who guarded the door didn't know what to do, and their scalps were numb for a while.
The momentum caused by the eldest grandson at the door finally alarmed the old housekeeper in the house. The old housekeeper came to the front of the house, and saw that it was the young master standing at the door, so he hurriedly greeted him, "Young master, you are finally willing to go home." ”
The old housekeeper has been in the eldest grandson's house for half his life, and he has watched the eldest grandson grow up, and he has long had feelings for the eldest grandson, and he was excited when he saw the eldest grandson finally come back.
"Uncle Sun, the eldest grandson is back." When the eldest grandson saw the old butler who came out, he immediately put away his arrogance, bowed slightly to the housekeeper, and made a junior salute.
The old housekeeper has a very high status in the mansion, although he is only a servant of the eldest grandson's mansion, but the people in the mansion dare not be disrespectful to the old housekeeper, even the usually arrogant Mrs. Hua does not dare to make things difficult for the old housekeeper, just because the head of the house and the old housekeeper are brothers and sisters.
The old housekeeper hurriedly supported the eldest grandson, and said with a relieved face: "Okay, good, just come back." Go, go into the house and say, the head of the house must be happy to see you. ”
After that, the old housekeeper welcomed the eldest grandson into the house, leaving behind the descendants who had lost their souls.
There is also Chu Li who stayed where he was and didn't leave, and the sudden attack of the eldest grandson not only stunned the subordinates who guarded the door, but also frightened Chu Li behind him.
Chu Li has never seen the young master train people like this, in the past, the young master paid attention to his own cultivation, like the performance just now, he has never been, and in the past few days, the young master has a more gentle attitude towards himself, but he didn't expect to behave like this just now.
The eldest grandson entered the mansion with Steward Sun, and was so troubled by the eldest grandson in front of the mansion, and everyone in the mansion knew that the young master of the eldest grandson was back, and they all gathered in the hall.
In the front of the hall sat an old man who was not angry and arrogant, although his hair was gray, his body was still straight.
At this time, looking at the eldest grandson who walked into the hall, although the old man's face was serious, the concern and joy in his eyes had already been inadvertently revealed.
This person is the grandfather of the eldest grandson, the eldest grandson Wentian.
Sitting next to the eldest grandson Wentian was Mrs. Hua, dressed in a purple robe, with a circle of silver and white fox fleece around her neck, and the whiteness of her slender neck, her black hair was combed into a bun at the back of her head, highlighting the slenderness of her face, and there was a hint of femininity between her delicate eyebrows.
Mrs. Hua sat on a high place with a calm face, but when she saw the eldest grandson, the boredom that appeared in her eyes was still seen by the eldest grandson.
I saw that the eldest grandson entered the hall without saluting, so he threw himself on the leg of the eldest grandson Wentian and cried, "Grandpa, I finally saw you again, and my grandson finally came back, woo..."
The eldest grandson's move surprised everyone present, and the eldest grandson Wentian valued etiquette cultivation the most. In the Changsun Mansion, the eldest grandson asks the eldest grandson to favor the eldest grandson, this grandson is well known, and the eldest grandson is born and the eldest grandson asks the heavens, so he named his first grandson the eldest grandson, which shows how much the eldest grandson Wentian loves the eldest grandson. But even if the eldest grandson sees the eldest grandson every day, he must first bow in a proper manner, and there has never been such a performance as the eldest grandson today in the mansion.
The eldest grandson's performance really made the eldest grandson Wentian frown, and he was about to have a seizure, but when he looked down, he saw a pair of teary eyes. Thinking that the child must have suffered a lot outside in the past three months, he couldn't bear it, and his tone softened, "Hmph, you still know how to go home." ”
"How can my grandson forget my home, grandpa, you don't know how much your grandson has suffered and suffered many grievances outside for more than three months, and he almost can't come back, and he can't see his grandfather anymore, woo..."
Looking at the tattered clothes on the eldest grandson's body, he knew that the eldest grandson must have suffered a lot in the three months he was away, and his heart suddenly softened a little, and he couldn't bear to punish him, "Okay, go wash and change into clean clothes, Steward Sun, tell the kitchen to make a good meal tonight." ”
Tonight, because of the return of the eldest grandson, the eldest grandson's mansion is busy again, and everyone has their own thoughts and plans. However, more is waiting to see the excitement.
In the evening, there was a banquet to welcome the eldest grandson, but several clan elders did not attend, as a way to show their attitude, and several people present looked very uncomfortable. In the case of the vacillation of the position of the eldest grandson's heir, people do not know how to behave.
The atmosphere seemed a little awkward, only the eldest grandson complained as if no one was around, and everyone at a banquet had their own thoughts, so it was not lively.
At night, the eldest grandson returned to his room, thinking about Mrs. Hua's performance and how to deal with it next.
Chu Li walked into the room with the footwashing water for the eldest grandson, looking in a trance, watching the eldest grandson sitting at the table thinking about things, wanting to talk and stopping, and finally couldn't help but speak, "Young master, you are today... How..."Chu Li said but didn't know how to say it, for fear of annoying the eldest grandson.
The eldest grandson looked at Chu Li's performance and smiled, "What's the matter, didn't Chu Li's performance make Chu Li uncomfortable this morning?" ”
"Hmm... Kind of..."
"Like what?"
"Like... Like, there are few evils in the city. After finishing speaking, Chu Li lowered his head and didn't dare to look at the eldest grandson.
"Oh, yes, that means I did pretty well today." The eldest grandson showed a satisfied expression.
"Acting?" Chu Li raised his head and looked at the eldest grandson puzzled.
"This return is both a helpless move and a risky move, our return at this critical moment is undoubtedly disrupting Mrs. Hua's plan, if at this time let grandpa see the hope of supporting me to become the heir, and support me as the heir, I am afraid that Mrs. Hua will do something terrible." The eldest grandson said.
After hearing this, Chu Li thought for a while, thought of the terrible thing that the eldest grandson said, and said tentatively: "Young Master is saying that Mrs. Hua will do something to you, Young Master?" ”
The eldest grandson shook his head, "I'm afraid it won't be so simple, for Mrs. Hua, the biggest obstacle to her son becoming the heir is grandpa and not me, if grandpa is gone, I can't pose any threat to her, I'm afraid that she will act in advance then." ”
After Chu Li listened, he was already speechless in shock, and covered his mouth with his hand that was open in shock.
Chu Li's shock is not unreasonable, in Changsun Mansion, no, it is the entire Lishan City, Changsun Wentian's dominance has been unshaken for more than 30 years, any conspiracy is futile in the face of absolute strength, although Mrs. Hua is also a famous martial artist, and her strength in Lishan City is also good, but for Changsun Wentian, she can only be regarded as a weak woman, Chu Li does not understand where Mrs. Hua has such great courage.
But the eldest grandson's worries are also justified, this time when he came back, his grandfather's health was not as good as before, recalling the family meeting more than three months ago, the eldest grandson could feel that the patience of Mrs. Hua and others was about to run out, and then Mrs. Hua, who was hungry for profit, was afraid that it would really be as the eldest grandson thought.
More than three months ago, the clan elders asked for a clan meeting, and the eldest grandson also attended, but he never thought that an unexpected person would appear at the clan meeting, Nangong Ao.
More than 30 years ago, the eldest grandson Wentian led the mercenary group Skywalker he founded to overcome all the obstacles, and finally won the ruling power of Lishan City and established the hegemony of the eldest grandson family, and Nangong Ao is the deputy head of Skywalker and the elder brother of Mrs. Hua.
It stands to reason that there should be no outsiders like Nangong Ao in the clan meeting of the eldest grandson's family, and the appearance of Nangong Ao must have the tacit consent of the clan elders in the clan, and it is in this way that the clan elders express their challenge to the eldest grandson's right to ask the sky.
It was the appearance of Nangong Ao that changed the outcome of that clan meeting, and Nangong Ao demanded the abolition of the identity of the eldest grandson heir on behalf of Skywalker's wishes. And the eldest grandson Wentian also changed his toughness this time and broke up the meeting without expressing his attitude.
It is precisely because of this that the eldest grandson ran away from home after a big quarrel with the eldest grandson.
Now that the eldest grandson wants to come, the grandfather's performance at that time was also out of helplessness, and doing so is already the greatest protection for the eldest grandson.
It took Chu Li a long time to recover from the shock and said, "That's why the young master behaved like that, he deliberately wanted to make the master disappointed in the young master, and it was also to let Mrs. Hua relax her vigilance, but... Young master, aren't you giving the eldest grandson's family to them like this? ”
The eldest grandson touched Chu Li's head and said with a smile: "Silly girl, now for me, it doesn't matter if you're the heir or not, the important thing is you." Only you can call home when you're there. ”
