Volume 1: The First Gathering of the Five Spirits Twenty-four: The Yan family has a daughter
The bronze carriage of the old man Tang was parked in a luxurious and exquisite manor outside Caixiang City, the national capital of the Southern Medicine Kingdom.
The owner of this manor is surnamed Yan, and naturally he is also a family with a jade plate.
However, unlike Qian Chao and Li Jian's respective families, the Yan family is not an official in the court, but they can be regarded as the biggest businessmen in the Southern Medicine Country, and they can be said to be rich and rival the country. Although it is just a businessman, it does not mean that the Yan family has no foundation in the Southern Medicine Country, and almost every generation of emperors' concubines are surnamed Yan.
At this time, the first election had ended, and the crowd in the manor was watching a little girl bow to a young woman. The little girl fell to her knees and hugged the young woman's legs, whimpering and weeping, refusing to let go of her hand.
The young woman also bowed her head and wiped the tears from the little girl's face with the handkerchief in her hand.
Under a closer look, although the little girl was dressed ordinarily and cried a lot, her eyes were bright and bright when her eyes were tearful, and she was an out-and-out beauty.
When the little girl had finished her salute, the young woman squatted down, and with tears in her eyes, she gave her a final hug, and then gently pushed the little girl away, and passed over a large burden.
The little girl reluctantly climbed into the bronze carriage with the burden.
The little girl didn't look at the man next to the young woman during the whole process, which made the man a little embarrassed.
Old man Tang has been watching from the side, this little girl's name is Yan Xuan, when the first selection was made, many children did not have spiritual roots, but as soon as this little girl's hand touched the jade Ruyi, it made the Ruyi suddenly red and bright, and the entire Yan family manor was shrouded in a red glow, so frightened that Yan Xuan almost threw the jade Ruyi in his hand.
This Yan Xuan's spiritual root made the old man Tang a little surprised in his heart, although it is not the best quality, but a good word is proper, it is difficult to find children with good qualifications, and it is not easy to find children with good qualifications, this time I can take such a little girl back to the sect, and it is not in vain.
But later, when Yan Xuan hugged his mother and cried, Old Man Tang watched coldly, and he also slightly looked at some things in the Yan family.
The man next to Yan Xuan's mother must be Yan Xuan's father, seeing that this person is not very old, but his steps are vain, and his face is also tired and insufficient, coupled with the floating waves between the walks, this person must be a drunken man, I am afraid that he has already been emptied.
Looking at Yanxuan's mother, the sadness on her face was dense, and she was afraid that it was not all for her daughter's departure from home. It seems that her life in the Yan family has not been easy. Guarding such a husband and pulling out such an outstanding daughter, and now that the daughter is leaving, the sorrow in this woman's heart is afraid that outsiders cannot comprehend.
And Yan Xuan, this little girl, Old Man Tang can see that she is resentful towards the Yan family, this girl has good qualifications, and she will return to the Yan family when she has cultivation in the future...... Alas, after all, the Yan family is a family under the care of the Five Spirits Sect, so let's give them a heads-up today.
Thinking of this, Old Man Tang turned around, and behind him was the head of the Yan family, an old man in his old age, although he was old, his spirit was strong, his body was still strong, and he was bowing down and respectfully following behind Old Man Tang.
"Master Yan, the old man has something to say here, and I hope you can listen to it."
"Immortal Master, please speak," the head of the Nayan family immediately said respectfully.
"Originally, your family affairs, I am an outsider and it is inconvenient for me to intervene. However, as you saw during today's election, your granddaughter's qualifications are very good, and her heart is also good, and the old man concludes that this child will definitely have some achievements in cultivation in the future. ”
Hearing this, the head of the Nayan family said happily: "Thank you Immortal Master." ”
"Well, generally speaking, it should be a blessing for your family to have such a child in the family, but the old man saw that the child was full of resentment and resentment, and when the child practiced for a few years and had some magical powers, he would return to your Yan family in the future, I am afraid it will not be the blessing of your Yan family!"
When the head of the Nayan family heard this, his color suddenly changed, he was the head of the family, and the things in the family naturally knew about it, his son was a little unsuccessful, and of course he knew that the daughter-in-law's life was not good, but he was too lazy to take care of this kind of thing, could it be that his son and daughter-in-law were not harmonious, and he also wanted to come forward as the head of the family?
But now that the daughter born and raised by the daughter-in-law was chosen by the immortal master, it is very different.
The head of the Yan family was stunned, and stammered a little and said, "Immortal Master, can you ...... How can it be? ”
"It's hard to say, although it's not enough for her to do rebellious things, but she can take her mother away, and tell the outside world that the Yan family has nothing to do with her, or ......"
Old Man Tang glanced at the head of the nervous Yan family when he said this, and continued to speak.
"Or take your family's jade plate, it's also possible. And if that's the case, she is a monk from your Yan family, and our sect can't interfere in this kind of thing, so we can only rely on her. If that's the case......"
"Ahh The head of the Yan family stared at the bronze carriage parked in the courtyard in amazement, and suddenly had an urge to get into the car and drag the girl who had already entered back.
"The old man estimates that in more than ten years, your granddaughter will have a small success and go home once as usual. At that time, as long as the resentment in her heart is eliminated, she is still your granddaughter after all, and there is her own mother here, how can she do something that is not good for the family? ”
Old Man Tang's words, the head of the Nayan family remembered a "more than ten years later", and was thinking about whether he could live for more than ten years.
"The bell must be tied to the bell, if the person in your granddaughter's heart can persuade her, of course your Yan family will be fine."
Old Man Tang saw that the head of the Nayan family was stunned, so he said something clearly.
The head of the Nayan family is also an old man, and he has already heard the taste from the words of the old man Tang. Obviously, this immortal master has insight into his own affairs, and immediately respectfully saluted and said to the old man Tang: "Thank you Immortal Master for mentioning it, please rest assured, the younger generation knows how to do it, and will not let my daughter-in-law suffer the slightest grievance in the future, and the negligence of the younger generation over the years will definitely give her a compensation, so that my granddaughter will be full of joy when she returns home." ”
Old Man Tang nodded and said, "I hope so, the old man also doesn't want to see my sect disciples embarrassed in the future, okay, the old man will leave, you can do it yourself." ”
With that, the old man boarded the bronze carriage and departed.
Yan Xuan's father was relieved to see that the immortal master had boarded the carriage and left, although when he said goodbye just now, his daughter's indifference to himself made him a little unhappy, but he didn't dare to attack, so he could only endure it, fortunately, the matter is over now, and now his heart has already been alive.
Speaking of which, this Yan Xuan's father is not high in the family because of his unruly behavior, greedy for wine and lust, and the Yan family's huge industry, he can not handle much, and now his daughter has been selected by the immortal master to go to the immortal mountain to practice, so that he can continue to protect the Yan family, which can be said to have made a great contribution to the Yan family, with such merits, several businesses and industries that he has long wanted to get involved in, it seems that he can justifiably ask his father for it.
So he straightened his waist and walked past his brothers and walked towards the head of the Yan family, usually he didn't dare to do this, but now it's different.
Coming behind the head of the Yan family, who was still stunned, Yan Xuan's father bowed down and asked, "Dad, is it okay?" ”
When Old Man Tang was talking to the head of the Yan family, the head of the Yan family had been facing away from his family, so he didn't see the change in the expression on the face of the head of the Yan family.
The head of the Yan family was interrupted in a trance, turned his face, and when he saw it clearly, he was immediately furious, and he didn't speak, but turned around and slapped him hard in the face, and Yan Xuan's father turned around and fell to the ground, and then covered his red and swollen face and looked at his angry father blankly.
As soon as Yan Xuan entered the car, she was stunned, like Qian Chao, she thought that the car was just here to pick her up, after all, the carriage was so small from the outside.
But when she came in, she found that the inside was so wide, I don't know how many times larger than the largest hall of the Yan family, and this strong sense of novelty almost made her forget the sourness of leaving her mother. After looking around and looking around carefully, I realized that there were so many people in here, and so many faces turned to look at me.
Yan Xuan has a gentle and easy-going personality, who is shy and cowardly, and when he saw so many people paying attention to him at once, his face turned red when he was free, so he hugged his burden tightly and walked inside.
There was no place near the entrance, and even if there was Yan Xuan, he didn't dare to sit in the middle of a group of strangers. These people seemed to be sitting on straw futons, and seeing that there seemed to be a spacious place inside, Yan Xuan made up his mind to go inside and find a place with few people to sit down.
"Hey!" Suddenly, a little girl turned around and stopped her with an unhappy expression.
The little girl and several other little girls sat around chatting, and when Yan Xuan walked by, his vision was blocked by the burden in his hand, so he stepped on the little girl's skirt.
"Huh? What's up? Yan Xuan still didn't know what was going on, she just felt that she was just here, probably about to be bullied, which made her very nervous.
"You stepped on my skirt!" The little girl had already judged her origin from Yan Xuan's clothes, so she reprimanded her unceremoniously.
Yan Xuan realized that he had offended others first, and hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" After speaking, without waiting for the other party to say anything, he walked inside as quickly as he ran.
"Really!" The little girl looked unhappy and muttered dissatisfiedly, "Don't you walk without opening your eyes?" ”
Yan Xuan didn't dare to fight back at all, so he had to think about taking a few steps.
Now she understands a little, in this magical carriage like the hall, all the girls are sitting on the left hand, and the boys are sitting on the right, and the age is the same as her. The men all turned their heads to look at her in her footsteps. In her own family, Yan Xuan has been bullied by her brothers and sisters, so now so many children make her panic, she just wants to find a place where no one is sitting down quickly, and stop attracting so much attention.
There were fewer people on the left than on the right, and it didn't take a few steps to get to the end, but at the end there was a boy sitting there playing chess with a little girl opposite.
This made Yan Xuan a little surprised, why did he run into a group of girls, he was definitely not a character to be messed with, there are a few older cousins in Yan's family, who like to bully the maids in the house every day when they have nothing to do, that guy is estimated to be about the same, and he should stay away from him. At this time, the boy looked up at her, and the little girl in the lake blue dress opposite him also looked back at her, which made her panic even more, and hurriedly lowered her head and hurried by.
But the soles of her feet didn't know what she stepped on, it was not big, it was very hard and slippery, and one foot slid forward at once, and her body lost its center of gravity and fell back, so startled that she let out an exclamation. But she stopped halfway down, she felt that she was being hugged by someone, which made her even more embarrassed, but she remembered that behind her was the boy who played chess, if she was held by a boy like this, would she still be alive? When she hurriedly struggled to stand firm, and looked again with a red face, she was relieved, and it turned out that it was the little girl in the lake blue dress who saw that she was about to fall and came to help.
"Thank you, girl." Yan Xuan hurriedly thanked the little girl.
The little girl flashed her big eyes and looked at Yan Xuan a few times before she smiled and said, "Sister, are you okay, aren't you frightened?" ”
"No, thank you." Yan Xuan hurriedly said.
"It's all his fault! It was he who threw the pieces around. ”
The little girl pointed to the little boy who was still sitting there.
Only then did Yan Xuan notice that he was stepping on a chess piece, the white chess piece was very conspicuous, but the black chess piece was not so obvious on the ground, why was there a broken chessboard on the ground?
The boy rolled his eyes when he heard that it was said to be throwing chess pieces.
"Sister, don't go inside, there's no one inside, it's boring to be alone, just sit here." We can talk together without being bored. By the way, sister, do you know how to play chess, you will come and help me, this guy is very good, he has won several games against me. ”
As she spoke, the little girl couldn't help but pull Yan Xuan to sit next to her, and dragged a futon to put her burden on it.
This little girl looked a few years younger than herself, but she was not afraid, and Yan Xuan was pulled and sat down. She knew how to play chess, but after looking at it for a while, she found that both of them were better at chess than herself, so she didn't plan to interject at all.
The little girl was gossiping with herself while playing chess, but she didn't feel bored. But after all, he was traveling far away from home, and he was originally in a nervous mood and reluctant to leave home, but gradually, Yan Xuan felt fatigue after thinking about it for a while, leaning on a pillar behind him, tilting his head and falling asleep.
Qian Chao found that Tang Ping was very interesting, he was very embarrassed to be bullied by that fourth prince of Wei when he first came in, so Tang Ping pulled himself over. Later, so many people came in, she ignored it, and it wasn't until this young lady surnamed Yan came in that she was very embarrassed that she pulled her over. This Tang Xiaomei's careful thinking is really ...... Thinking of this, he glanced at Tang Ping, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly.
This glance was discovered by Tang Ping, she noticed Qian Chao's evil smile, knew that her mind was seen through, and she didn't care, and said: "You told me a big truth, I have to try it to know if it's right." ”
"Shh Qian Chao shushed her, deliberately staring at the little freckles on both sides of Tang Ping's nose.
"What are you looking at?" Of course, Tang Ping knew what Qian Chao was looking at, and waved his hand a little embarrassedly, dissipating Qian Chao's gaze, "Play chess!" ”
