"Mrs. Su, that Zhao Shi kid hasn't seen anyone for a few months, and he's not at home, I searched through our ancient castle and didn't find him. Steward Zhao said respectfully to Mrs. Su.

"This is strange, I haven't seen anyone for months, could it be that I am dead?" said Mrs. Su.

"It's a real possibility. Although the eldest prince will sit in the position of the big boss in the future, it will be nine times out of ten, but if that Zhao Shi dies, wouldn't it save us a lot of trouble. Steward Zhao said flatteringly.

"Now the old man is not completely dead, if Zhao Shi is really dead, it will be counted on our heads. Mrs. Su was a little worried.

"Mrs. Su, you can rest assured, the master's illness will only get worse and worse, it is estimated that after the end of this year, the beginning of spring next year will be the period of death. After drinking the 'hook soul scattering' for so many years, how can anything come out. Steward Zhao said with a sinister smile.

"Keep your voice quiet, be careful that the wall has ears. Mrs. Su's face changed.

Steward Zhao looked around vigilantly, and also realized the recklessness of his move just now.

"Everything has to be careful before the old man is completely dead, and I don't want anything to go wrong at the last minute. If Zhao Shi's kid really dies, forget it, anyway, it wasn't our start. If you don't die, wait until the old man dies and find a way to find out and kill him. Mrs. Su's cold light flashed, and she coldly instructed Steward Zhao.

Early the next morning, Zhao Shi returned to the thatched house after freshening up in the valley stream, and Lan Yi leaned against the thatched house to enjoy the morning sun.

"Are you leaving now?" Lan Yi said as he looked at Zhao Shi.

"As is customary in previous years, today is the time for comparison. ”

"Go ahead, settle all the previous grievances and grievances, so that you can have no worries and be calm. After Lan Yi said this, there was a trace of sentimentality on her face, and Zhao Shi naturally saw it, she wanted Lan Yi to talk about the past many times before, but she was always reluctant to speak.

"Lan Yi, then I'll go, I'll go early and come back early. Even though Zhao Shi was very reluctant in his heart, his mother was still wronged, how could he not repay his hatred. Zhao Shi naturally wanted to live here like this with Lan Yi all the time, without quarrel with the world, and live freely, but the sky did not fulfill people's wishes.

Zhao Shi turned around step by step and gradually disappeared from Lan Yi's sight.

"This kid probably likes you, it's not okay to go on like this, you can't be emotional, don't forget the agreement between us. Park Zhenren reminded Lan Yi to say.

"Don't worry, I'm in control. Everyone is destined to have their own destiny from birth, and my destiny is to cultivate immortals and smuggle them into the spirit world and then complete the agreement between you and me. And he, burdened with deep hatred, is bound to take revenge. Now that I'm on a different trajectory from his, I'm not going to be obsessed with that and ignore the big picture. Lan Yi sighed and said firmly.

"You can understand so thoroughly, you really see through all kinds of causes and effects in the world, and your state of mind has improved a lot. I remember the first time I communicated with your consciousness when you were six years old, and I remember when you were wearing pigtails and talking to yourself playing with rag dolls. Park Zhenren remembered the first time he communicated with Lan Yi, and he also sighed.

"After going through so much, people will naturally change. ”

"Then what are you going to do next?" asked Park Zhenren.

"After three months of meditation and cultivation, I have returned to my previous realm, and the spirit seed has taken root and sprouted again, and it is time to prepare for the opening of the leaves. ”

"Now that you've planned it, let's go. First find a great sect of immortal cultivation to settle in, and with your current cultivation, it is easy to enter a major sect and become an outer disciple. ”

"Everything is up to you, I'll write a letter first. Lan Yi didn't linger after thinking about it, so he took out a pen and paper and wrote. After writing it, she took out a "storage bag" and put it in a thatched hut with the letter.

Lan Yi took one last look at the thatched hut, and then at the extinguished bonfire, and felt reluctant in his heart. Finally, she looked ahead, and with a pinch of one hand, she took off into the air and flew into the distance.

After Zhao Shi had crossed a few mountain ranges, the scenery in front of him began to become familiar, so he quickened his pace.

After three months of refining qi, Zhao Shi's body functions in all aspects have been greatly improved, and he has crossed a mountain range in the blink of an eye.

"The street is really lively, I have lived in the mountains for three months, I didn't expect time to pass so quickly, and it is almost the New Year in the blink of an eye. At this time, Zhao Shi was already walking on the crowded street, looking at the scene of the surging crowd, Zhao Shi seemed to have a feeling of being in a different world.

"Have you heard, the second son of the Zhao family who is not a good person died, it seems that he ran away from home and starved to death. In front of Zhao Shi, a man and his companion chatted.

"How did I hear that they were beaten to death? ”

"Hey, no matter how you die, you deserve to die. None of them are good, and all day long they know how to oppress our poor. When the New Year is over, they can't eat meat once, and the Zhao family began to hold a feast two days ago, and even the dogs they raised only ate meat and didn't gnaw bones. ”

Zhao Shi listened to the conversation between the two, and secretly decided in his heart that if he had the ability in the future, he would definitely do something practical for the poor people. If nothing else, it is necessary to give some food to the poor at the end of the year.

At the end of every year, the Zhao family will hold a grand annual meeting, ostensibly an annual meeting, where the family eats and drinks, chats and watches martial arts performances, but in fact, the Zhao family is competing for the interests of the coming year and their own status in the family.

The comparison of martial arts at the annual meeting is the key to dividing interests. The annual meeting is generally held for two nights and three days, and on the first night, a banquet is set up, and all the heads of the family gather together to have a dinner against their will. The second day was a martial arts competition, but this day was a competition between domestic servants, and it involved the ownership of some of the family's scattered businesses. Because the interests involved are not large, everyone has the right to warm up and watch it for fun.

The next day is the comparison of the younger generation of the Zhao family, and the interests involved are greater, and the management rights of the shops, such as pawnshops, grain shops, pharmacies, etc. Fertile land ownership, deferred lease, dividends at the end of the year, etc.

In addition, what they value most is their status in the clan, and the annual meeting is to give the children of the clan a chance to show themselves, so as to be recognized by the clan and vigorously cultivated.

On the third day, the results of the distribution of benefits were announced, and in the evening, the whole family celebrated and held a banquet, hoping that the next year would be another bumper year. During the feast, some people laughed and drank heartily, while others were sad and worried.
