Chapter 2 Family Affairs
Between heaven and earth, all things have spirits, feathered beasts have spirits as demons, souls have spirits as ghosts, plants and trees have spirits as spirits, and gold and stones have spirits as monsters. The meridian organs of the human body are distributed according to the five elements of yin and yang, and their operation is secretly in line with the way of heaven, although life is short, but the speed of cultivation is the envy of other races. Therefore, people are the elders of all souls, and many goblins and ghosts have changed their human form for the purpose of cultivation. The spiritual world calls it "transfiguration".
There are exceptions to everything, and it is easy for acquired things to be transformed, but innate things are indeed difficult. The so-called innate things refer to the spiritual things that appear when the heavens and the earth are first born, and the acquired things are the spiritual things that appear after the opening up of the heavens and the earth for a period of time.
The genus of plants and trees has been arranged into a list of ancient immortal trees by later generations, which accommodates all kinds of successive queen immortals and immortal trees. Among them, the top twelve are all innate.
For tens of thousands of years, nine kinds of twelve immortal trees have appeared in the human realm, but unfortunately only three kinds of immortal trees have not been encountered so far, and their names only exist in legends.
One is the sixth-ranked dream empty flower, this flower has no roots and is formless, and according to legend, it can only be seen in dreams. It is rumored that people who are recognized by this flower can kill people in their dreams, regardless of the realm.
The other is Manzhu Sahua, which is second on the fairy wood list, also known as the other side flower. Because this flower is a thing of the underworld, it cannot be seen in the human world at all. Because under the influence of the laws of the Heavenly Dao, it is impossible to describe its shape or draw its form except for the underworld, even if it is a thing in the fairy world. After the catastrophe 30,000 years ago, someone was fortunate enough to pick up a netherworld jade slip, which only mentioned the sentence: flowers bloom without leaves, and leaves grow without flowers, which is for Manzhu Shahua. This is the only description of this flower.
The last one is the first on the Immortal Wood List: Chaos Blue Lotus.
Legend has it that this flower is associated with the opening of the world. No one has ever seen it, but when you see it, you will naturally know that it is the Chaos Blue Lotus.
He Liushao held the flower pot and walked slowly in the direction of his small courtyard. Suddenly, I heard a voice in front of me, as if someone was arguing.
"The road is so wide at home, what do you have to put on us?" was an arrogant voice.
"Do you have long eyes, don't you see that I'm carrying something," it was a more brutal voice, a little bit sinister.
"Is that why you hit the eighth sister, are you so old?" the first voice said
"That's it, second brother, you're too much. A female voice said.
This is a tribute to my father's thousands of miles of sea essence inkstone, which is made from the essence of the oriental thousands of seas, and only a few inkstones are produced in the whole Qizhou a year, which is worth a lot of money. Can I hit her with this? Who made the bad thing just now, you two little bastards?"
"Second brother, keep your mouth clean. This is the He family, not you outside. ”
"Old Five, you don't give me any pretense. Did the two of them break the inkstone today, did you come up with it behind your back? ”
......
There is a famous saying in China: It's not a big deal to watch the excitement, this sentence He Liushao has thought of it since he was a child, and he also did it.
He would just hide in a corner and watch the fight.
There are four protagonists of this accident:
the second young master of the He family, He Qisheng;
The fifth young master of the He family, He Wenfang;
The seventh young master of the He family, He Wenyong;
and Miss He Jiaba, He Jiao.
Speaking of which, we have to talk about the family situation of the He family.
The direct family of the He family has not been very prosperous.
There are only four children of the ancestor of the He family, including Mrs. He, and one of them died in his twenties. The current head of the family, He Zhenxing, is the only son of Mrs. He, and he doesn't even have brothers and sisters. And He Zhenxing is indeed worthy of being called revitalization, I don't know if the family power has been revitalized, but the population of the direct descendants has been revitalized. He Wenming's generation counts him as a total of nine people, five men and four women.
The eldest young master, He Qicheng, is twenty-six years old this year, wooden by nature, and his mother is He Zhenxing's personal maid and later became the eldest lady. It is said that in order to establish her as Mrs. He's family, He Zhenxing fought with the old lady a lot, and in the end, the old lady gave in.
But the eldest lady died when He Qicheng was ten years old, and then the second lady became the wife of the head of the family. It is said that the death of the eldest lady is related to the second lady.
The second young master, He Qisheng, formerly known as He Wensheng, is twenty-three years old this year. Because after his mother's second wife became the wife of the head of the family, he also changed from a concubine to a concubine, and even his name was the same. After all, his maternal family is the second largest family in Qizhou.
The third He Xue and the fifth He Wenfang were born to the fourth lady, and they can be described as having both children. The fourth lady is the concubine of the Sun family, who is also one of the nine great heavenly families in the world.
And He Wenfang has always been the most popular son of the head of the family, because He Zhenxing feels that this son is very similar to him in terms of appearance and way of dealing with the world.
The fourth He Lian and the eighth He Jiao were born to the third lady. The third lady has no background, but she became the wife of the He family after traveling to the rivers and lakes and getting acquainted with He Zhenxing in her early years. Although they are sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes, the third lady is the gentlest of the many ladies of the He family.
The sixth He is civilized, and his mother family is the Yang family in Shuzhou, which is just an ordinary family.
The seventh child, He Wenyong, his mother, and the fifth lady are from a poor family. Due to the same bad background, the fifth lady and the third lady got very close, and naturally He Qishao and He Lian and He Jiao got close.
The eldest He Tian'er is twelve years old this year, and her mother is a singer surnamed Xia. Although her mother was from a bad background, the youngest Miss Nine was born with fairy bones. According to the ancestor of the He family himself, once she starts to practice, she is afraid that she will not even be able to compare with He Qishao, and she is the real pearl of the family. Her mother was not blessed, and for some reason He Tian'er died when she was four years old, and she has been raised by the third lady for so many years.
Now the situation in the family is that the boss's side is the weakest, except for the name of the eldest son, there is nothing, and even the old lady does not think that he is the eldest son.
The second party is the most powerful, not only the identity of the son-in-law, but also the support of the mother's family, and more importantly, the recognition of the old lady.
Lao Wu's mother also wants Lao Wu to compete for the position of future head of the family, because he is He Zhenxing's favorite son.
Fortunately, there is also a precedent for the family to be the head of the family. So over the years, the fourth lady has been wooing the third and fifth ladies, and at the same time encouraging her children to have more contact with the children of the third and fifth ladies. It's just that with little success, the third lady and the fifth lady don't seem to want to wade into this troubled water.
So here is probably because He Ershao and the fourth and seventh met, the seventh usually can't get used to He Ershao, and finally broke the second child's things, and the fifth and eighth have been helping, and the angry He Ershao began to scold people like thunder.
I saw He Qisheng pulling the seventh He Wenyong to the study, and the fifth knew that the matter was not good, so he desperately stopped it.
Although this inkstone is valuable, it is not a rare treasure, and no one will say it, and then let the mother blow the wind on the pillow may turn a big thing into a small thing. If it really makes trouble for his father, then He Ershao is a crime of unfavorable care, but Lao Qi is afraid that he will be whipped a few times.
But Lao Qi has always been spoiled, shouting while being dragged around.
Why are you going to kill me or take me to see my father today, why don't you take me there today, you're my grandson, why are you a master of the Three Realms, why are you so hard to drag me, haven't you eaten in the morning......
Miss Eight, who didn't know the height of the sky, was still bouncing on the side to cheer for her fifth brother, asking him to get the field back when his cultivation was high in the future, and then drag He Lao Er to see his father.
He Qisheng's face turned purple with anger. That is, you can't do it at will in the clan, otherwise He Ershao would have killed both of them a long time ago.
A group of people walked towards the study in a noisy manner, and He Liushao found that he couldn't hide, so he walked out with a flower pot.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he came out, the whole scene was suddenly quiet.
The people who were originally dragging are no longer being dragged, the shouting is no longer shouting, and the cheering and cheering have stopped.
He Er Shao didn't leave because he saw the pot of flowers, and the family returned the flowers to He Wenming, and he He Lao Er actually only knew it now;
He Laoqi stopped shouting, thinking about how to squeeze He Wenming;
Both of them didn't move, so He Wushao naturally had no need to continue to persuade them;
The protagonist is no longer making trouble, and Miss He Ba is naturally idle.
The two sides passed by with such big eyes, and when they passed by He Qisheng's side, He Qisheng asked lightly: "The family decided to return it to you?"
He Jiao interjected next to him: "Second brother is asking you, this is not what you stole back, right?" After speaking, he found that He Qisheng glared at her angrily, and quickly hid behind He Laoqi to seek refuge.
He Wenming didn't care, He Jiaoren was just like her name, she was a Jiaojiao lady who was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, and said, "Well, is there something wrong with the second brother?"
"It's okay, I'm just ......"
He Jiao stretched out his head and said first: "He just wants to occupy the opportunity of your companions." He Jiao, who made up for the knife, immediately retracted her head behind He Laoqi.
He Ershao was really angry, he couldn't care about talking to the sixth child anymore, and turned around to clean up He Jiao.
Frightened, He Jiao screamed, turned into smoke and ran away.
He Wenming hurriedly stopped and said, "Eighth sister joked, second brother, don't worry." Nothing, I'll go first. ”
After speaking, He Liushao quickly walked away from this battlefield.
He Qisheng nodded, squinted his eyes and watched him leave without hindrance.
He Ershao is a little thin, with slightly protruding cheekbones, thin lips, and thin eyes, this face can be said to be a bitter and mean person, and this character should be with his mother.
You must know that when He Liushao's other shore flower was requisitioned by the family, he wanted him to inherit this opportunity, after all, in the eyes of the stubborn old lady He, this is the eldest grandson.
The mother of the eldest brother He Qicheng and the old lady never approve.
He Qishao seemed to have already thought about what was wrong to provoke He Liushao, and just as he was about to speak, He Lao Wu covered his mouth. He Jiao has already provoked He Liushao twice, if he speaks out again, no matter how good He Wenming's temper is, he may stand on He Qisheng's side and teach them a lesson, so today's matter will not be over.
No matter what happened to the four of them, after returning to their own courtyard, Major He Liu put the flowers in his house, and then came to the courtyard alone and sat on the stool next to the stone table.
With his back to the entrance of the courtyard, it seems to be waiting for someone.
His yard is not large, with only two rooms, one large and one small. The greater one is his own, and the smaller one is his handmaid's. Although the things that should be there are not bad, they are still a little worse than others.
For example, other people have seven or eight women's wielders, but he only has one. Others receive clothes from the clan every time the season changes, but he can only receive one or two cotton clothes in winter, and sometimes there are no new clothes to wear during the New Year.
Fortunately, his pocket money was never deducted, enough for him to buy some summer clothes. So other people's clothes can be thrown away when they are broken, and he is always those few pieces.
Although he is not the kind of person who likes luxury, it is false to say that he does not envy it.
Thinking of this, He Wenming laughed at himself, but all this can only be blamed on his too tough personality at the beginning. When he learned that his flowers were proposed by the second lady to be lent to He Lao Er, he embarrassed the second lady at the clan meeting.
At that time, he was out of breath, but after that, he was downgraded by the stingy woman compared to the other brothers and sisters, and the servants of the clan did not dare to show him closeness, and even his only maid was now a spy for the second lady.
He Wenming turned a blind eye to this matter and was too lazy to care, he knew that it was useless to resist.
After learning a lesson, he became much more restrained, and he always accepted these small things lightly. For so many years, he has never bowed his head to the second lady, nor has he accepted the kindness of the third lady's gift of clothes.
Like a small grass, it is obedient and tenacious.
Suddenly, a pair of soft little hands covered his eyes, and a female voice softer than glutinous rice came from behind him: "Guess who I am?"
