Chapter 25 The Affair of Each Family
West Side. Acropolis Lord's Palace. Inside a gazebo. A man and a woman were present. The man looked to be fifty or sixty years old, with a fat head and big ears. The woman is just in her teens, and she looks handsome.
At the head of the man and the woman stood a young man.
The young man standing was none other than Pang Yunting, who had appeared in the Dragon Mansion.
After Pang Yunting told what had happened in the Dragon Mansion, the man in his fifties and sixties laughed. The woman, who was in her twenties, also covered her mouth with her sleeves and giggled.
The man in his fifties and sixties smiled and said, "Yun Ting, your voice is good. Sit down!"
Pang Yunting hesitated for a moment, and the woman who was in her twenties said, "Yunting, your brother-in-law asked you to sit, so you can sit down." ”
Pang Yunting hurriedly bowed to the fifty-six-year-old man and said, "Thank you, City Lord!"
It turned out that this man in his fifties and sixties was Huang Yihao, the owner of the Acropolis of Xicheng. The woman who is in her teenage years is Huang Yihao's thirty-seventh concubine, named Pang Xiaoyi, and Pang Yunting's sister.
This Huang Yihao, as the lord of the Acropolis of Xicheng, likes women quite much. Just the concubine who was carried home in a sedan chair, plus a haired lady and two flat wives that Ming Media was marrying, Huang Yihao's wife and concubine, added up to almost half a hundred.
The so-called shade under the big tree. Most of Huang Yihao's wives and concubines are from Xicheng. These wives and concubines were carried back to the Huang Mansion by Huang Yihao in a sedan chair, and after slowly gaining a foothold in the Huang Mansion, their three relatives and four corners were gradually managed by them to get into the Huang Mansion. Some of them even settled in the Yellow House.
Among these people, there are those who are honest, well-behaved, and keep to themselves. But there are also many people who want to use these concubines to find a half-official position or a good errand for Huang Yihao in Xicheng or Huangfu. Some people, even relying on the fact that they are the elders of the previous generations of a certain concubine, rely on the old and sell the old, often come uninvited, and directly rush to the main hall of Huang Yihao's city lord and make some such and such requests. After seeing Huang Yihao, even if there were outsiders present, these people directly shouted "Yihao" and "Yihao" to Huang Yihao.
Over time, Huang Yihao was so annoyed that he simply ordered that any relatives of the Huang family inside and outside the mansion should not trespass on any important place in the mansion without permission. Seeing Huang Yihao himself, these people must also be called the city lord, and they must not call him by his name.
There are a few relatives of the Huang family who don't believe in evil, but they have to defy the law, but they were beaten by Huang Yihao and beaten out of the Huang Mansion. A few related concubines went to Huang Yihao to cry, but as a result, the eldest woman of the Huang family sacrificed the family law and beat these concubines for a while. If it weren't for the persuasion of other people, these concubines would have been beaten out of the Huang Mansion with sticks by the eldest lady of the Huang family.
After that, all the relatives of the Huang family did not dare to say anything when they saw Huang Yihao, but trembled. If Huang Yihao didn't speak, these people wouldn't even dare to sit in front of Huang Yihao.
Yes, although Pang Yunting's sister is very favored by Huang Yihao, Pang Yunting, as Huang Yihao's brother-in-law, has always been respectful when he replies to him. What's more, Pang Yunting already had something to ask Huang Yihao for, and he didn't dare to provoke the slightest unhappiness in his heart.
Seeing that Pang Yunting only sat on the round stool with half of his buttocks, Huang Yihao smiled and said, "Yunting, don't be nervous." Relax. Brother-in-law is not a tiger, what are you afraid of?"
Pang Yunting hurriedly said "hey", moved the other half of his butt to the round stool, and said in his heart: "You are indeed not a tiger." But you're much scarier than a tiger. ”
After Pang Yunting sat down, Huang Yihao asked, "Do you really see that those people in the Immortal Sect in the Long family are very respectful to the old man before?"
Pang Yunting hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Back to the city lord, Yunting did see that the person from the Immortal Sect who was the leader of the Long family was very jealous of the old man who arrived first. But ......"
Speaking of this, Pang Yunting suddenly stopped.
Huang Yihao frowned and asked, "But what?"
Pang Xiaoyi saw Huang Yihao frowning, and hurriedly said: "Yunting, don't sell Guanzi, say it quickly! Don't make your brother-in-law unhappy!"
When Pang Yunting heard this, he was startled, quickly stood up, and said: "City Lord, sister, it's not Yunting who sells Guanzi, it's really Yunting who is not sure, for fear of saying something wrong." ”
Huang Yihao said: "But it doesn't hurt to say. ”
Pang Yunting arched his hand to Huang Yihao and said, "City Lord, when those immortal men in the Dragon Mansion first arrived in the hall, the people from the Immortal Gate who were the leader seemed to be very respectful to the old man. But after the two sides said a few words, those immortal people in the Dragon Mansion didn't seem to be so scared anymore. Yun Ting sat far away, and there were many people in the hall at that time, and Yun Ting didn't hear what they were talking about. ”
Huang Yihao touched his chin and said, "According to this, there is only one possibility." That is, the strength behind the old man is not very good. ”
Seeing that Pang Xiaoyi and Pang Yunting seemed to want to ask, Huang Yihao waved his hand and said, "Don't speculate about the affairs of the people in the Xianmen. That's the end of it. ”
Pang Xiaoyi stood up, while gently pinching the sides of Huang Yihao's fat neck, and said in a snort: "Master, you see, Yun Ting has done such a good job this time, do you have to give him some rewards?"
Huang Yihao closed his eyes, and while showing a look of enjoyment, he said: "I don't know what your sister and brother are thinking, master? ”
When Pang Xiaoyi and Pang Yunting heard this, they were immediately overjoyed. Pang Xiaoyi turned from behind Huang Yihao to him, bowed down, and said, "Thank you, concubine!"
Seeing Pang Yunting looking stupid and standing there at a loss, Pang Xiaoyi shouted: "Yunting, what are you still standing stupidly for?
Pang Yunting took a step forward, fell to the ground, and said loudly: "Yun Ting, thank you for the grace of the master!
Huang Yihao opened his eyes, smiled, and said, "Get up, get up! Yun Ting, as long as it is not a formal occasion in the future, you don't want to call the lord or the lord. Just call your brother-in-law. ”
Pang Yunting was overjoyed, and hurriedly gave another salute and said, "Thank you Yunting, brother-in-law!"
Huang Yihao's expression was straight, and he said: "However, my brother-in-law can only do his best. Even if it can really help you get a place, as for whether you have an immortal fate or not, and whether you can be selected for the immortal gate in the end, it still depends on your own creation. The matter of Xianmen, my brother-in-law can't do anything. ”
Pang Xiaoyi hurriedly walked back to Huang Yihao's side, and while continuing to pinch his fat neck, he said: "Master, this truth, both the concubine and Yun Ting understand. The old man can promise to get a place for Yun Ting, which is already a great favor to the concubine's family. ”
Pang Yunting also bowed down again and said: "Brother-in-law can give Yunting a place, which is already a reinvention of grace." Whether it succeeds or fails, Yun Ting will remember his brother-in-law's great kindness!"
Huang Yihao laughed again and said, "Yun Ting, you are serious about what you said." If you can be selected into the Xianmen, your brother-in-law and the Huang family will have to rely on you!"
When Pang Xiaoyi heard this, he hurriedly said: "Master, Yun Ting can enter the Xianmen, according to the seniority of the Xianmen, he is also under the Nine Princes, and he has to be taken care of by the Master and the Nine Princes." ”
Pang Yunting also said: "Brother-in-law, if Yunting is lucky enough to enter the Immortal Gate, he must obey the orders of the master and the ninth prince." ”
Huang Yihao laughed and said: "Okay! Yun Ting, if you have this kind of thought, my brother-in-law will help you get a place no matter how hard he works." ”
After that, Huang Yihao closed his eyes, and while continuing to enjoy the pinch of Pang Xiaoyi's hand, he thought in his heart: "The Pang family's western mountains are declining, maybe there is really hope to take Dongcheng this time." ”
......
North Side. Acropolis Lord's Palace. in a study. A man in a plain robe sits behind a desk, holding a scroll in his hand, his eyes fixed on it. On the opposite side of the desk, a man stood bowing, describing what had happened in the Dragon Mansion earlier.
This man in plain robes is about the same age as Huang Yihao, and he is the acropolis lord of Beicheng, Cheng Liming. The man standing opposite him was a housekeeper in the Cheng Mansion.
Don't look at Cheng Liming's plain clothes and long shirts, he looks elegant, but the housekeeper opposite him and many old people in Cheng's mansion are clear, this head of the family is a master who eats people and does not spit out bones.
Although Cheng Liming's eyes were staring at the scroll, if he looked closely, he could find that his eyes were not on the scroll at all.
After the housekeeper finished talking about what happened in the Dragon Mansion, Cheng Liming gently put the scroll on the desk, and a few fingers of his right hand gently tapped on the table, and asked, "Those few people from the Immortal Sect of the Long family really scolded Long Zheng loudly?"
The housekeeper hurriedly bowed his body lower and said, "Back to the master, this matter is seen by the little one, and it can't be wrong." There were tens of thousands of people in the hall at that time, and everyone saw it. ”
Cheng Liming waved his hand lightly and motioned for the housekeeper to step back.
After the housekeeper withdrew, Cheng Liming stood up, walked back and forth in the study for a few steps, and then stood still, with a weird smile on his face.
......
The city of Fucheng in the middle of the square city. The Mansion of the Lord's Mansion. Inside the martial arts arena.
An extremely sturdy and sturdy man is moving and leaping in the martial arts arena and practicing martial arts. But when he soared, he was like a goshawk volleying in the air, when he swooped down, he was like a tiger descending from a mountain, he was like a thunderbolt between his punches, and he was like a dragon going out to sea when he raised his legs.
The man's fists became more and more fast, the fists all over his body were vertical and horizontal, and the fist wind in the field was agitated. After doing it for a while, the man shouted loudly, and suddenly retracted his momentum, his face was not red, and he was not panting.
An old servant-looking person next to him hurriedly stepped forward, handed over a white towel, and said, "Family master, your fist skills are getting sharper and sharper. According to the old slave, he is already above the Dragon City Lord. ”
The man took the towel, wiped it lightly on his face, and said, "Uncle Zhong, this way of boxing was originally the boxing method of the Long family. Although my boxing skills have been refined, it would be self-deception to say that I can defeat the Dragon City Lord. ”
The old servant stretched out his hand and took the towel in the man's hand, and while handing over a cup of tea, he whispered: "Family master, a big incident happened in the Dragon Mansion today. ”
The man took a big sip of the water cup handed over by the old servant, and asked, "What's the big deal?"
The old servant whispered a brief account of what had happened in the Dragon Mansion Banquet Hall at the time of the luncheon, and the man's brows gradually furrowed.
After the old servant finished speaking, he whispered: "Master of the house, please forgive the old slave for talking too much. The old slave felt that the people in the Xianmen seemed to be more and more dissatisfied with the Dragon City Lord. ”
The man nodded lightly and said, "The Long family has not been able to produce a single immortal cultivator in the past few hundred years, and it is not surprising that the people in the Immortal Sect have gradually alienated the Long family. ”
The old servant said: "Master of the family, although the things handed over by the Long family in the past few years are enough, the quality is getting worse and worse. What do you think ......, master?"
The man said: "It is reasonable that the Long family wants to support so many people in the Immortal Sect, and the situation is more difficult than that of the other families. As long as the Long family handed over enough things, let him go. ”
The old servant hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Family master, in the past few years, we have made some arrangements for the things handed over by several acropolis to help the Long family cover up one or two. The old slave was worried that after a long time, if he was discovered by those families, I am afraid that those families would have some ideas. ”
The man snorted softly and said, "The Xia family and the Long family have been friends for generations. Even if they knew, they wouldn't say anything. As for the Huang family and the Cheng family, hmph, things have entered our mansion city, how to arrange it is the matter of the lord of this mansion, and they don't dare to make trouble. ”
The old servant hurriedly answered "yes" and stopped talking.
After the old servant left, the man said silently in his heart: "Brother Long, as an elder brother, I can only help you so much." I hope that this time at the foundation inspection conference, the Long family can produce one or two good seedlings. Otherwise, my Shantai family won't be able to protect your Long family. ”
