Haidai County, one of the thirty-six counties. It is densely populated and very lively.

Sitting in the car, Chen Youniao couldn't help but frequently lift the curtain to look out, feeling the popularity and voices rushing to his face, and there was a sigh of returning to the city from the wilderness.

Pretty good.

In Haidai County, the Chen family is a large family, with many industries, and the settlement occupies three streets, forming a block.

Such a big clan is divided into descendant and collateral lines, with many branches and leaves, and many clansmen live and work hard in other places.

The room where Chen Youniao is located originally belonged to the lineage. However, when it came to Chen Youniao's father's generation, he was obsessed with the fairy way, always making some things to practice qi and cultivating pills, and had no intention of keeping a family, and he spent a huge amount of money to send Chen Youniao into Laoshan Mountain, what is the situation at home now, it is difficult to say.

Back at the door of the house, Chen Youniao and Uncle Wang got out of the car, looking at this house that had become unfamiliar, and were stunned.

"Who are you, and what are you doing here?"

A servant standing at the door came up and asked.

Uncle Wang looked at him: "Ah Shui Ngawang and what about them?"

The servant was stunned and looked up and down.

At this time, an old servant with gray hair came out, saw Uncle Wang, looked at it carefully, and then shouted: "Ah Sheng?

Uncle Wang also recognized him: "Ah Wang, is the master at home? ”

Ah Wang looked at Chen Youniao, his face was a little strange, and he called: "Young Master", then pulled Uncle Wang, and said in a low voice: "Ah Sheng, I have something to tell you." ”

The two walked aside, whispering.

"Ah Sheng, a lot has happened in the past ten years......

"The lord has no intention of operating, coupled with huge consumption, many industries and fields have been sold to other houses in the clan one after another over the years......"

"What's even more outrageous is that in March this year, the old man actually ran away with a wandering monk, saying that the Taoists didn't want him, he had a relationship with the Buddha and wanted to become a monk......"

"As soon as he ran, he disappeared without a trace, and he still owed a lot of debt. The patriarch presided over the decision to allocate all the houses to the third room......"

In other words, the ancestral home has changed hands. Fortunately, the clan will not give up, and we, the old servants, can still stay......"

......

After hearing this, Uncle Wang was dumbfounded, his own master, it was really enough.

originally thought that the family background would be worse than before, but I didn't expect that a huge family business has now been completely defeated, and even the ancestral house can't be kept.

Seeking immortals and cultivating is not shallow!

After saying this, Ah Wang was also embarrassed and asked, "Ah Sheng, what are your plans? You are the son of the clan, the patriarch, the eldest lord will not dislike them, do you want me to go and tell me?"

Uncle Wang shook his head and said, "For so many years, I have been serving the young master, and I will always follow." ”

Ngawang asked, "What about the young master's cultivation?"

Uncle Wang smiled bitterly: "If it happens, he won't come back." ”

Ngawang slapped his thigh: "Hey, what kind of immortal is cultivated?" Now it's okay, there's nothing. ”

After a pause, he said: "In this case, Ah Sheng, if you continue to follow Young Master Youniao, your livelihood will be in trouble." ”

Uncle Wang naturally understood.

If there is no house, no industrial land, and no source of income.

Of course, as a descendant of the Chen family and a descendant genealogy, Chen Youniao will have a sum of money every month.

But his father was a loser, and Chen Youniao failed to cultivate the Tao, and he achieved nothing, and this case of money was only the lowest kind.

Every month, five taels of silver.

This money is used as living expenses, and I can only barely eat food and clothing, and I can't afford to eat meat.

Originally, Chen Youniao's father also had a piece of money, in comparison, the amount of money was not small, but the debts he owed were not paid off, and the money was directly confiscated and deducted to repay the debts.

"No wonder I haven't had a letter for a long time, and I haven't had any money......"

Uncle Wang muttered in his heart: "I hope the young master can withstand the blow of reality." ”

He was loyal and would not criticize the master casually, so he went over with a sad face and talked to Chen Youniao.

After listening, Chen Youniao seemed to be calm, but in fact he was wailing in his heart: I thought that there was no hope of cultivating immortals, and I could go home to be a rich man, but I didn't expect that the rich man would not be able to do it, and he had to work hard for his livelihood.

How do you spend your days?

"Young master, are you alright?"

Uncle Wang asked with concern.

Chen Youniao shrugged: "It's nothing but death, it's okay." ”

Uncle Wang was very pleased, thinking that although the young master could not cultivate the Tao, he had been a Taoist boy in the dojo for so many years, and his heart could always be polished, which was much more expansive than ordinary people.

Gotta get it!

The sound of horses' hooves sounded, and several horses galloped in.

The leader has two horses, a man and a woman. The man's face is like a crown of jade, and the woman's face is delicate and beautiful.

Na Awang hurriedly came up to lead the horse, and shouted respectfully: "Fifth young master, seventh young lady, you have come back from hunting." ”

When Uncle Wang heard this, he immediately understood.

The Chen family is very large, in the current generation, there are six rooms in the family tree, Chen Youniao belongs to the fifth room, and with Chen Youniao's father leaving home, the fifth room is basically dilapidated, and only Chen Youniao is left.

The main problem is Chen Youniao's father, Chen Mudao, who asked the immortal wholeheartedly and married only one wife, that is, Chen Youniao's mother. After the original partner died of illness, he no longer continued the strings and played singles, so Chen Youniao had no brothers and sisters, and he was alone.

Other houses are different, when the lord has three wives and four concubines, the children are on the line, and the family is big.

For example, if you take over the third room of the fifth ancestral house, you have seven children, and now these two, one is the fifth and the other is the seventh.

Speaking of which, Chen Youniao played with them all when he was a child. Cousins, cousins, cousins, a large family, related by blood.

But after ten years, the face is no longer recognizable, and it is difficult to recognize. It's not a brother, I haven't seen him for so many years, and I can't talk about much affection. Moreover, Chen Mudao's obsession with cultivating immortals and abandoning his family business has become a negative example in the clan, and he is infamous and despised.

"You're a cousin with a bird?"

Fifth brother Chen Han screamed and looked up and down.

"What kind of birds and no birds, do you know that this house has been sold to us, not your family, even if you come back, you can't live in it again. ”

Seventh Miss Chen Wan snorted, her expression was arrogant, and her tone was not good.

Uncle Wang next to him was stunned, and his mouth snorted, but he was not qualified to intervene.

Chen Youniao replied: "Since the house is sold, I naturally won't come back to live." ”

Knowing the fact that the ancestral house had been sold to him, he was ready to leave. Under the fence, you have to look at people's faces everywhere, which is very uncomfortable.

Chen Han pondered for a moment: "Cousin Youniao, the patriarch decided to allocate this house to us for three rooms, but considering the situation of Uncle Catechu and you, I was worried that you would come back one day and be homeless, so I set aside a house for you in the south of the city." However, it is relatively remote, and I don't know exactly what the situation is, so I need you to go to the clan account office to hand it over. ”

Hearing that there is still a house, Chen Youniao's eyes lit up, and he finally heard good news, at least, it will not be displaced, there is a place to settle down, and there are tiles to cover his head.

immediately took his leave and took Uncle Wang to get the house.

Seeing his back, Chen Han shook his head and sighed, "Cousin Youniao really has to let Uncle Tengao delay." ”

Chen Wan scoffed: "Fifth brother, they are all self-inflicted and not worthy of sympathy." The patriarch and uncle have all said that asking for the Tao and asking the immortals is not something that people like us can think about. ”

Chen Han nodded: "Cousin Youniao has only entered Mengxue before, and he has wasted ten years of time, and he can't continue to study. As for martial arts training, the muscles and bones have long been set, and there is no hope. However, there are many affairs in the clan, if he puts down his body and is willing to do it, as a small steward or something, he can be down-to-earth, and he will always have something to eat. ”

The implication is that with the fall of the fifth room, I am afraid that it will not be long before he will be removed from the lineage and reduced to a sideline.

Chen Wan said calmly: "They still owe a lot of foreign debts, those creditors are not easy to talk to, Uncle Chauffler ran away, the father and son repay the debt, the creditors will definitely come to ask for it, this pass, I think this cousin can't get by." ”
