Chapter 3 It's not your business Hang high
In the main hall.
Nangong Chan sat on the Taishi chair in the main seat, although her eyes were slightly melancholy, but she sat steadily, but she did not lose her proportion.
There were several elderly people sitting on each side of the hall, naturally the elders of the family, all of them sitting upright, silent, unable to see what they were thinking.
Huang Wudao sat in the backmost position, insisting on the principle of not caring about himself, hanging high, and watching everything in the hall with cold eyes.
There are eleven clan elders in the entire Nangong family, who are highly respected people selected from various branches, and are responsible for assisting the patriarch in making decisions on major affairs in the clan.
This form is also common to most large families, and it can be regarded as a kind of bond between the main family and the various branches, with the same origin and the same ancestor.
It is said that Nangong Yi, the uncle of the Nangong family, had no children under his knees before his death, and only had a daughter like Nangong Chan.
And the Nangong master's family has always been a single lineage since the generation of the old lady Nangong, so when it comes to Nangong Chan's generation, there is only one bloodline left in the lineage within three generations.
In a large family that pays attention to inheritance, this situation is very fatal, and no male is equivalent to a queen.
In general, the best way to solve this problem is to select a male from the branch line to inherit the family business.
However, the old lady Nangong didn't know what to think about, and after Nangong Yi passed away, he didn't do it.
And as Nangong Chan grew up, she began to show her means and talents that were not weaker than men.
The old lady of Nangong is even more focused on cultivating it, and she has a faint intention to let Nangong Chan take over the family.
It's a pity that the daughter is still the daughter after all, and no matter how strong the ability is, it can't change this fact.
Taken by the prestige of the old lady in the family, the people in the clan are all peaceful and quiet.
But now that the old lady Nangong is critically ill, once she can't survive it, if she dies, Nangong Chan's situation will be worrying.
The status is not guaranteed or light!
I am afraid that when the time comes, I will directly sweep away such a door-to-door son-in-law as Huang Wudao, and then force Nangong Chan to marry for the benefit of the family.
Sitting in the field, the desolate Dao has a clear heart, and as an outsider, he has already seen through the twists and turns.
But as long as no one takes the initiative to provoke him, it doesn't matter if he is the son-in-law of the Nangong family.
Anyway, his nominal wife doesn't look down on him in her heart, and she doesn't mention the relationship between husband and wife in name only.
Seeing a beautiful girl who can't walk on the road is not a ridiculous style, why bother wading through this troubled water, it will not be good, and it will cause a commotion?
Fish and bear's paws are not what I want, and it is my wish to make a fortune in a muffled voice!
Thinking of this, Huang Wudao suddenly remembered Su Muyun, who had been scattered, although he lived a nest and died aggrieved, but in fact, he had always had a deep unwillingness in his heart.
The hatred of being wiped out, the helplessness of entering the Nangong family, all kinds of things he remembered in his heart, and he never let go of them until he died.
However, he was too weak during his lifetime, let alone revenge, and he couldn't even control his own fate, so he could only swallow his anger and be a wreck in the Nangong family.
It's quite self-defeating and content with the status quo.
For this deep resentment, the desolate Dao that devoured part of Su Muyun's soul was the most touching.
Although this obsession is erased and vanished when it consumes its soul, it does not affect the will of the absurdity itself.
But after all, it occupies other people's bodies, and in the case of what he can, he doesn't mind fulfilling his last wishes, and the right is to end the cause and effect and ask for peace of mind.
Of course, these have to be considered in the long run, and when you are new to the city, everything is carefully considered.
"Brother, don't worry! what you lose, brother will get it back for you!"
Huang Wudao squinted slightly, stroked the Qiankun ring between his fingers, and secretly thought in his heart and made a promise.
Half an hour later, the sound of bead curtains rolling, and everyone subconsciously turned their eyes to the side door of the main hall.
With the sound of steady footsteps, a middle-aged servant woman led a rickety old man out of the back hall.
The old man looked very old, his beard was white, the wrinkles on his face were crisscrossed like ravines, and his body was so shrunk that it seemed that he would fall when the wind blew.
But if you look closely, you will find that its footsteps are stable when walking, and the spirit is strong, although the gray hair is pale, but it does not give people the feeling of old dragon clock, which shows that there is a way to maintain health.
"Isn't this a Xuan Shen Doctor?"
"Yes, isn't it rumored that Doctor Xuan Shen has retired from Shennong Valley and will no longer go out of the mountain?"
Everyone in the hall immediately discussed, and it seemed that someone recognized the old man, but listening to the meaning of the words, it seemed that even the elders of the clan had not learned the news of the arrival of the Xuan Divine Doctor in advance.
Xuanshen Doctor...... Xuan Miaoshou?
Huang Wudao suddenly remembered that there was indeed such a number one person in the remnants of Su Muyun's memories that were devoured.
The original name of Xuanshen Doctor was Xuan Ruhai, and when he walked the rivers and lakes in the early years, he won the title of Xuan Miaoshou because of his superb medical skills.
This made it a miracle that many people only knew his name and did not know his real name.
And one of the most talked about things about this person is that twenty years ago, with his amazing medical skills, he pulled the Emperor of Beizhaoguo, who was dying at that time, back from the Ghost Gate.
As a result, he was given the title of a miracle doctor by the royal family of Beizhaoguo, and he was able to move the world and was sought after by dignitaries and nobles from all over the world.
Judging from his age, this Xuan Shen Doctor is the same era as the old lady of Nangong, and it is rumored that the two have a very good personal relationship.
If the rumors are true, then the appearance of the Xuan Shen Doctor here can make sense.
At the same time, Nangong Chan on the other side hurriedly got up, stepped forward to hug the old man, and said urgently: "Grandpa, how is he?"
"This ...... Alas!" Doctor Xuan sighed lightly and shook his head, "I'll just say it directly! Your old lady's time is short, although I use internal force as a guide and use the method of golden needles to cross the acupuncture point, temporarily protecting his heart, but it can't last long, as long as ten days, as short as five or six days, you will attack your heart with qi and blood, and you will lack the skills to return to the sky!"
As soon as these words came out, the elders in the hall behaved differently, some with surprised faces, some with gloomy expressions, and some with cold eyes-
The appearance of all living beings is nothing more than this!
"Impossible......"
Nangong Chan muttered to herself, biting her lip tightly, the tears in her eyes fell down her face, slightly sad.
Doctor Xuan Shen comforted: "Everything has its own destiny, please also mourn and change!"
At this moment, a little maid ran out of the side door of the back hall and said in a hurry: "The old lady is awake! Let the eldest lady and aunt in!"
"Grandpa is awake?" Nangong Chan was overjoyed, and was just about to raise her feet to meet her, when she suddenly remembered that there was still a Xuan Shen Doctor standing beside her.
She hurriedly turned her head to look at the middle-aged servant woman who led Dr. Xuan out, and ordered, "Take Dr. Xuan to the guest room to rest first, and arrange the meal by the way!"
Doctor Xuan waved his hand: "It's okay for the old lady to be decrepit, the eldest lady should go and visit the old lady first!"
"Chan'er has a lot of slackness, and I hope for the miracle doctor Haihan!"
Nangong Chan was slightly blessed, turned around and walked towards the back hall.
Didn't the old lady let me go in with you? You left on your own, and in your eyes, my brother has no sense of existence?
Could it be that there is no human right if you don't waste your money?
Looking at Nangong Chan's back disappearing behind the curtain, Huang Wudao couldn't help but touch his nose helplessly, so he had to get up and follow in.
