Chapter 49: The Jiang Family
In the morning, Jiang Menghong took Guo An's carriage to the "Fushengfang" in Dongcheng District, and stopped at the door of the "Shunyi Commercial Bank" under the Bai'an League. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Fushengfang is a square area where major merchants gather, which can be called the trading center of Chili City. All spiritual objects related to spiritual practice can be bought here.
Bai'an League is a business alliance jointly established by more than a dozen Yuanying Zhenjun in the three factions of Chongshan, and the stores of the subordinate "Shunyi Commercial Bank" are opened in various big cities in Bai'an.
"Shunyi Commercial Bank" covers a vast area, pavilions and pavilions are towering, and the height is staggered. Surrounded by evergreen ancient trees, flowers and plants bloom without fear of the season. The water pavilion pond is dotted in the meantime, the environment is elegant, and the warm breeze is fragrant. The main building is a high-rise building with more than five floors and ten zhang high, rising in the air and overwhelming the surrounding buildings.
On both sides, the "Difeng Commercial Bank" under the Chongshan Sect Mountain Alliance, the "Hongsheng Commercial Bank" under the Guo family, and the "Lianxin Commercial Bank" jointly composed of the five major lords and the 20th family are all lower than the "Shunyi Commercial Bank".
The main body of this building is completed with a large piece of high-quality "wind bluestone", heavy eaves hemlock beams, jasper glazed tiles. There were no traces of the rune formation on the smooth and neat appearance, but under the sunlight, it exuded a blue hazy halo.
Although it was located in Dongcheng District, it took the lead in snatching an underground spiritual vein trickle from Chili Mansion for its own use.
"Shunyi Building" is majestic and magnificent, and the gas town is Chili City, which is the highest building in Chili City. The Guo family's main city hub, Chili Mansion, is not as high as it.
A one-person high staircase leads to the main gate. Two one-foot-high gates were wide open. A huge plaque above the gate reads "Shunyi Firm" in four golden characters. On both sides of the gate stood eight young and beautiful low-level qi practitioner maids. They are all welcome waiters specially cultivated by the "Shunyi Commercial Company".
"Shunyi Building" only does the business of monks, and does not accept mortals. Mortals are not qualified to enter, and if they want to do business with the Shunyi Firm, go to the annex building on the side.
Jiang Menghong followed his family to "Shunyi Building" and knew the situation of Shunyi Building. In the welcome greetings of the maids, Jiang Menghong used his mana to pass through a layer of invisible enchantment and enter the building.
The top floor of the fifth floor is dedicated to receiving Jindan real people, and it is said that there is a magic weapon for sale.
Most of the items on the fourth floor are high-level magic weapons and spiritual objects of the same level, which are generally used by monks in the later stage of foundation building.
On the third floor, intermediate magic weapons and spiritual objects of the same level are sold, and the service objects are monks in the middle and junior stages of foundation building.
Intermediate and high-level spiritual objects and magic weapons, there is no distinction between elementary, intermediate and high-level. Intermediate is intermediate, and advanced is advanced.
Jiang Menghong spent four hundred and thirty spirit stones on the second floor to buy a low-level and mid-level Spirit Gathering Array futon, and then returned to the first floor.
"Yuehua wine" is the name of a type of liquor.
When brewing spirit wine, use the formation secret to refine the moonlight essence into the wine, and then seal it and store it underground, and use the formation method to induce the mellowing for more than ten years before it can be achieved.
This wine has the effect of enriching the soul, purifying the heart and mind, and drinking it for a long time can help the cultivation.
Depending on the recipe, there are a variety of ingredients used to make wine, and there are many names such as "Piaoxiang Yuehua Wine", "Jiuling Yuehua Wine", and "Ganoderma Lucidum Yuehua Wine".
There are "Yuehua Wine", as well as "Rihua Wine", "Flame Wine", "Chaoyang Wine" and other famous products.
Spiritual liquor such as "Rihua wine" has the benefit of increasing power and is equivalent to a spiritual elixir.
Jiang Menghong spent forty spirit stones to buy two jars of ten catties of "Lingzhi Yuehua Wine", then spent ten spirit stones to buy one or two refreshing "Cloud Flower Tea", and spent ten spirit stones to buy a box of twelve "light spirit incense" that can clear the mind and calm the mind. In the end, I went to the annex building and spent five spirit stones to buy some bits and pieces of half-spirit things.
When leaving the "Shunyi Building", there were a few disciples who saw Jiang Menghong's beauty and generosity, and wanted to come forward to talk, but they gave up when they saw the red volcanic patterns on the carriage.
In Chili City, you must not provoke the people of the Guo family, this is the biggest taboo.
The carriage drove into the "Snow Wave Garden" in Beicheng District, the Jiang family's mansion in Chili City.
The "Snow Wave Garden" is three times larger than the "Baiyin Garden". More than six generations of monks of the Jiang family lived together and were not separated. Small families need more cohesion and security protection.
Stopped in front of the door of "Snow Wave Garden", opened the door, and Jiang Menghong stepped out of the carriage.
In front of me is a nine-step white marble step, a total of one person is much higher, leading directly to the gate of Jiangfu. On both sides of the stairs stands a cirrus mane stone lion, the stone lion's double sunny is extremely expressive, and the sight is swaying. This is an extraordinary thing.
The three gates are solemn and magnificent, the zhang is high, painted with vermilion lacquer and inlaid with gold nails, embedded with a white gold crest head containing copper rings, and the four corners of the pan claw relief looms.
The gate is connected with the stone lion as a whole, and there is a magic circle, and outsiders are not allowed to spread wild here.
The gate in the middle is usually closed.
Jiang Menghong entered from the West Corner Gate, and first went to the "Runfu Hall" to greet Jiang Yong, the ancestor of the Jiang family.
Jiang Yong built the foundation in the later period, and he was already more than 160 years old, and he easily disappeared from outsiders after many years of seclusion.
did not see the ancestor Jiang Yong, Jiang Menghong only handed over the gift "Ganoderma lucidum Yuehua wine" to the serving boy outside the "Ruifu Hall", and asked the boy to convey Guo An's respect to the ancestor.
Then go to "Ze Yuxuan" to ask the second ancestor Jiangbin for peace. Jiangbin is more than 100 years old, and he is in the middle of building the foundation. Equally ignore foreign affairs.
The Jiang family is dominated by Jiang Lan, the head of the family in the late stage of the Qi cultivation period, who is Jiang Menghong's great-uncle. The "cloud tea" was respectfully presented to the head of the family, Jiang Lan.
In the end, Jiang Menghong returned to the "Mingqiu Courtyard" where his parents lived to say goodbye to his parents.
On the way, we pass through the triple instrument gate, each instrument door is carved and carved, the pattern is decorated, and the talisman is hidden;
The formation in the palace is dense, loose on the outside and tight on the inside, and the guard is tight. If a foreign enemy comes to attack, he will regret his life.
Ququ River Pond, pavilions and courtyards everywhere, many strange flowers and plants, towering giant trees stand in a forest.
There are many ancient trees in a hundred years, and it is not strange that flowers bloom in ten years;
Self-cultivation can really be described as a model, and the morality of poetry and books is a model.
As a small family that has been established for more than 200 years, its heritage is so thick that Guo Chuan's Baiyin Garden is far from it, and it is not worthy of comparison.
Mingqiu Courtyard is the residence of Jiang Xinjia and his wife. Five main rooms, all bluestone and blue tiles carved beams and painted buildings. On both sides are the wings of the verandah through the mountains
On both sides of the main entrance avenue, on the east side is a hollow flower bed, planted with these rare varieties of flowers, and on the west side, there is a piece of purple bamboo, and a small stream flows through the courtyard and flows into the pond outside the courtyard.
Jiang Xinjia was stationed on duty at the Gaoshiling Post Station, not in the Mingqiu Courtyard.
Jiang Mu Wang is more than forty years old, and he is also a low-level qi practitioner. Standing with Jiang Menghong, her appearance is similar, like a sister.
At the beginning, Jiang's mother strongly opposed sending her daughter out, but Jiang Xinjia was resolute and said that he was the head of the family.
"Mother!" Seeing his mother standing at the door to greet him, Jiang Menghong's eyes were red, and his voice was slightly crying.
"Daughter, I'm sorry for you, your cruel father-"
Mother and daughter meet, hugging and crying.
After a while, the mother and daughter picked up their feelings.
Mother Jiang asked first, "You are doing well in the Guo family, have you been wronged, tell your mother, and your mother will call the shots for you." β
Jiang Menghong replied: "Mother, please rest assured, I am doing well, you don't have to worry." I'm coming back this time, and Childe even asked me to bring you a gift!"
Jiang Menghong took his mother's acceptance into the hall, took out the "light spirit incense" and handed it to Jiang's mother.
The main hall and the side bedrooms are equipped with a constant temperature array, which is comfortable in winter and summer, and pleasant in all seasons.
The Jiang family's wealth and luxury are not something that mortals can imagine.
"What did Guo An do to youβ"
"Childe is very goodγγγγγγ β
The subordinates were driven out, and only the mother and daughter were left in the house.
In "Ze Yuxuan", Jiang Lan was standing in front of Jiang Bin.
"Jiang Menghong is back, what do you think?" Jiang Bin, who is more than 100 years old, does not look old, but more like a middle-aged scholar who has read poetry and books, and the words wisdom and tranquility can best describe him.
"It's worth it to get to know Guo An. Judging from Menghong's return to the door this time, he still respects our Jiang family more. β
Wrinkles and bags appeared on Jiang Lan's old face. His life's cultivation has come to an end, and after years of worrying about his family, his energy has rapidly declined, and he has entered his twilight years.
"According to the information we have received, Guo An is talented, intelligent, and has excellent combat power, and the most important thing is that he has a firm Taoist heart and cultivates hard. Temperament is kind, the name of filial piety is widely spread, not cruel, not stupid. Overall, he has a lot of prospects and deserves our investment. Jiang Lan said, "However, Guo An has some big trees, hidden crises, and an uncertain future." Again, that's a bit hard to say. β
Jiang Bin paced with his back hand, and sneered when he heard this: "Crisis? We monks who can reach the foundation building period, the one who has never experienced the sword and sword shadow, and fought to the death. Who hasn't encountered three calamities and five tribulations?"
Turning to Jiang Lan, Jiang Bin said in a gentle tone: "I know that some people in the family have gossip about your decision to support Xinjia alone. They're just a bunch of rats, you just ignore them. If you don't go through the fire training, how can you know Guo An's quality?"
For more than 200 years, the Jiang family has sent no less than 20 daughters, but what is the ending?
Aren't these two foundation-building monks still able to support the Jiang family's beams!
Jiang Lan said, "I understand, Ancestor. Guo An's Dafeng Hall has been vigorously recruiting people, and I have introduced many people to join Dafeng Tang to help Guo An deal with affairs. It's just that there's been a lot of casual cultivation in Chili City latelyβ"
Jiang Bin said: "To increase the support for the Great Wind Hall, after all, the ability of mortals is limited, recommend a few reliable monks to join the Great Wind Hall." As for those loose practices, you don't have to worry about them. β
took out a spirit rune the size of a book with an inch of dark blue light and handed it to Jiang Lan, Jiang Bin said, "Give this spirit rune to Jiang Menghong, and you don't need to do anything else." β
The mid-level spirit rune "Xuanshui Cover" can withstand the full force of the mid-foundation building monk.
Bending over to take the spirit talisman, Jiang Lan said, "Yes, Ancestor." β
Meiqiu-in.
I heard that Jiang Menghong had returned to the door, and more than a dozen sisters or aunts and nephews of her age came to visit her, and some young children and boys followed, most of them had no spiritual roots.
Mingqiu Courtyard suddenly became lively. Before leaving the Jiang family, Jiang Menghong, who was loved by thousands of people, was their core.
Jiang Menghong took out a bunch of half-spirit gifts and distributed them to everyone, which made everyone exclaim.
"How old is Guo An?"
"Guo An is scary, isn't it?"
"Does he have a beautiful snow wave garden at home?"
"I heard that he was assassinated by a monk in the foundation building period some time ago, is it true?"
"He left Chili City some time ago, what did he do?"
γγγγγγ
The sisters chattered and asked. The children were jumping and jumping around them, screaming happily.
Surrounded by sisters, Jiang Menghong seems to have returned to the past. But the mentality is different after all.
Time flies, almost noon. Jiang Menghong has a duty and must return to Guo's mansion to prepare lunch for Guo An.
