Qingyun Mountain Range is located in the east of Qingyun County, stretching for hundreds of miles, there are hundreds of peaks of different sizes, Qinglian Mountain is one of the few spiritual mountains in Qingyun Mountain Range, because the shape resembles a green lotus and gets its name.

Although Qinglian Mountain is not steep and magnificent, it is like spring all year round, and the mountain is full of strange flowers and plants.

The family residence of the Wang family is in Qinglian Mountain, from the halfway up the mountain to the peak, there are large pavilions, and hundreds of Wang family members live.

At the top of the peak, there is a mansion that covers an extremely large area, and there is a quiet courtyard in the middle of it.

There is a waterhole of more than ten zhang in the courtyard, planted with several cyan lotus plants.

A winding gravel path leads to a two-storey cyan loft.

Inside the room, a middle-aged man with a square face in a green cloth robe was hunched on a desk, flipping through a book.

The middle-aged man is none other than Wang Mingyuan, the current head of the Wang family.

Wang Mingyuan is forty and nine this year, he is the fourth spiritual root, but he is fair, and he was elected by most of the clan elders as the head of the family, responsible for taking care of the affairs of the head of the family.

The Wang family currently has one hundred and forty-four immortal cultivators, and one clan elder has just passed away.

It is not easy to manage the affairs of a family, Wang Mingyuan has to take care of all aspects, so he has delayed his cultivation, and he is only at the fifth level of qi refining so far, but his qualifications are not good, no matter how hard he cultivates, the probability of advancing to the foundation building period is also very low.

"Hey, have you lost money again this month?" Wang Mingyuan put down the book in his hand, frowned, rubbed his eyes, and looked slightly tired.

"Knock knock!"

There was a knock at the door, and a woman's voice sounded: "Husband, I made some food, are you convenient now?"

Wang Mingyuan's frowning brows stretched out, and said, "Qing'er, you are not an outsider, just come in directly." ”

"I'm not afraid of influencing you to do things! You, the king, are in charge of everything, how dare I disturb a woman. ”

A middle-aged woman in a green dress walked in, holding a tray with a tray of green pastries and a bowl of white porridge in both hands.

The middle-aged beauty is Liu Qing'er, Wang Changsheng's mother.

Liu Qing'er put down the tray and put the pastries and white porridge in front of Wang Mingyuan.

"Qinglian cake, lotus seed porridge, since Sheng'er went to Ping'an County to serve as a heavenly master, Qing'er, you haven't cooked it for me again. ”

Wang Mingyuan smiled slightly, picked up a piece of pastry and put it in his mouth.

Liu Qing'er came behind Wang Mingyuan, put her jade hand on Wang Mingyuan's shoulder, and rubbed his shoulder.

"Do you remember the son who gave birth? I thought you had forgotten about your son. Liu Qing'er said angrily.

Wang Mingyuan smiled bitterly and said, "How could it be! I just gave birth to this son, how could I forget him? In another year, when my term of office expires, I will transfer him back, and this will be fine!"

"Do you think I'm here to tell you this? The fourth brother and sister told me that there are zombies in Ping'an County, if the fourth brother and sister hadn't told me, how long would you want to hide it from me?"

"I have already sent Fifth Uncle, Changge and Changyu to Ping'an County for reinforcements, there will be no danger in giving birth, you can rest assured!" Wang Mingyuan patted Liu Qing'er's jade hand on his shoulder and comforted.

Liu Qing'er raised her eyebrows, and was about to say something, when a hurried shout came from outside, "Third uncle, third uncle." ”

When Liu Qing'er heard this, she swallowed back the words that came to her mouth.

Wang Mingyuan hurriedly picked up the porcelain bowl and drank the white porridge in the bowl as quickly as possible.

As soon as he put down the porcelain bowl, Wang Changge and Wang Changyu hurriedly walked in.

When Liu Qing'er saw the two of them, her face tightened, and she asked worriedly: "Changge, Changyu, didn't you go to Ping'an County? Why did you come back so soon? It can't be that something happened to Sheng'er!"

Wang Mingyuan didn't speak, but there was a bit of worry in his eyes.

"No, the ninth brother is safe and sound, we came back on the order of the fifth uncle, and we have something important to report. ”

Wang Changge deliberately accentuated the tone of "major things".

"Changge, what important thing can't I say to my face? I have been married to the Wang family for more than 20 years, am I an outsider?" Liu Qing'er was a little displeased.

Wang Changge smiled and explained: "I didn't mean that, third aunt, this is the original words of the fifth uncle, my seventh sister and I are also acting on orders, and I ask the third aunt to understand." ”

Wang Changyu rolled his eyes, walked forward quickly, and said sweetly: "Third aunt, I have seen the ninth brother, let me tell you about the situation of the ninth brother!"

Liu Qing'er's face softened, and she walked out with Wang Changyu.

"What's going on? You can't say it in front of your third aunt?" Wang Mingyuan said with a frown.

Wang Changge's face froze, he stepped forward quickly, and said in a low voice: "Third uncle, a vein of Xuanjin was discovered in Qingshi Town in Ping'an County, well, it was discovered by the ninth brother, and the fifth uncle asked you to send additional people to Qingshi Town to mine Xuanjin." ”

"What?Xuanjin?really?" Wang Mingyuan exclaimed, breathing a little heavily.

"It's true, I brought back a piece of gold ore. ”

Wang Changge took out the ore from the storage bag and handed it over.

"I don't know anything about refining materials, Changge, go and invite your third aunt back, although your third aunt is only a refining apprentice, she can be familiar with and identify a variety of refining materials, let her confirm it." ”

Wang Mingyuan actually knew that what he had in his hand was Xuanjin ore, but he wanted to find an excuse to appease the dissatisfaction in Liu Qing'er's heart.

Wang Changge's words just now made it uncomfortable for anyone to listen to them.

After Liu Qing'er married into the Wang family, she rarely left Qinglian Mountain, she and a group of female clansmen surnamed Wang raised silkworms, weaved clothes and farmed, subsidized the family, husband and children, hard work and resentment, Wang Mingyuan didn't want to hurt his wife's heart because of a few unintentional mistakes from his nephew.

Wang Changge took the order and quickly invited Liu Qing'er back.

"Why did you ask me to come back, be careful that I divulge the secrets of your royal family. Liu Qing'er said with some dissatisfaction.

Wang Mingyuan grimaced, and said solemnly: "Okay, the two juniors are here!" Pay attention to the influence, Qingshi Town, Ping'an County, discovered a Xuanjin vein, which was discovered by Sheng'er, Qing'er, you used to serve in the Shenbing Pavilion for ten years, and you are well-informed, let's see if this is Xuanjin, if it is Xuanjin, Sheng'er will make a great contribution. ”

Hearing that it was his son who discovered a vein of Xuanjin, Liu Qing'er didn't care about being angry, took the ore, and looked at it carefully.

Her lips moved slightly, and with a muffled "poof", a red flame appeared out of thin air in the palm of her hand, and a large red flame enveloped the ore.

Time passed little by little, and the ore showed not the slightest sign of melting.

Liu Qing'er took out a cyan dagger, injected mana, and slashed towards the ore.

"Khooth!"

There was a muffled sound of gold and iron colliding, and there was a shallow white mark on the surface of the ore.

"That's right, it's Xuanjin ore, I don't know how big it is, but even a small Xuanjin ore vein is enough for us to tide over the difficulties. Liu Qing'er's expression was a little excited.

"Great, ancestors bless, our Wang family is saved, Changge, apart from you, how many people know about this matter?" Wang Mingyuan asked solemnly.

Wang Changge thought for a while, and said truthfully: "There are also five uncles and nine brothers, by the way, some of the clansmen who do not have spiritual roots know some things, they were the first to mine Xuanjin ore, Xuanjin ore is located in a quarry, but they don't know that it is Xuanjin, when I and the seventh sister came back, the fifth uncle personally watched from the quarry, and the ninth brother gathered the clansmen who knew about it and strictly forbade them to contact outsiders. ”

"Okay, you are not allowed to reveal half a word about this matter, I will immediately call a meeting of the fourth brother and them, and send someone to Qingshi Town as soon as possible. ”

"Yes, Third Uncle. ”

Wang Changge glanced at Wang Changyu, Wang Changyu understood and left with Wang Changge, leaving Wang Mingyuan and Liu Qing'er.

"I knew that Sheng'er was capable, found a Xuanjin vein, and made such a great contribution, I can transfer him back!" Liu Qing'er said with a look of anticipation.

"The country has national laws, the family has family rules, and he will be rewarded for his great achievements, and it is not too late to transfer him back when his term of office expires, anyway, there is only one year left, and it is easy to settle down if he is transferred back in advance, and it will be difficult for me to deal with the affairs of the family in the future." Wang Mingyuan said with some embarrassment.

Liu Qing'er glared at Wang Mingyuan, and said angrily: "Okay, okay, every time you transfer Sheng'er back, you have this reason, for fear of telling the truth, you only have the Wang family in your heart, and without our small family, you can sleep in the study this month! ”

After speaking, Liu Qing'er left in a huff.

Seeing this situation, Wang Mingyuan smiled bitterly, and his mouth was full of bitterness.

He didn't want to transfer his son back, but as the head of the family, he had to convince his people first before he could manage things, so he was strict with himself and his wife and children.

It is precisely because of his fairness that his prestige among the people is very high, and many orders can be carried out smoothly.
