Chapter Twenty-Three: The Long Family's Affairs

After Jin Yicheng and the others flew out of the banquet hall, the guests in the banquet hall saw that the situation was not good, and they had already said goodbye to the people of the Long family who were familiar with each other.

The two old ancestors sat at the top table, the Lu clan was held in the arms of Long Chuan, who was thrown to the ground by the young man in white, and the Zhao clan held Xia Qiqi in his arms. The two ancestors kept coaxing the dolls who were held in their arms to talk.

When all the guests had left, Lu Shi said to the dragon legend in his arms: "Chuan'er is good, take Sister Qiqi out to play." Zhao also said to Xia Qiqi in his arms: "Qiqi is good, go out with my brother." ”

After letting go of Long Chuan and Xia Qiqi respectively, the Lu family and the Zhao family supported the dragon head crutches in their hands at the same time and stood up. Zhao said to Long Zheng: "Zheng'er ......" Zhao said Long Zheng's name, his body shook, the dragon's head crutch took off his hand, and he fell to the ground with a bang. Zhao also fell limply to the ground.

Almost as soon as Zhao's crutches were taken off and the person fell to the ground, Lu's body also staggered back and forth, and he was unstable on his feet. Lu Shi grabbed the dragon's head crutch tightly with both hands, his face was pale, and his body was shaky.

Several servants beside the two ancestors hurriedly supported the Zhao family and the Lu family. Long Zheng, Li Yun, Xia Yuqiu and the others were shocked, and hurriedly stepped forward, helping the two old ancestors, and shouted: "Old ancestor!" Long Chuan and Xia Qiqi rushed forward, one holding Zhao's hand and the other holding Lu's hand. The two children reacted a little differently.

Xia Qiqi grabbed Zhao's hand, tears dripping in his eyes. Long Chuan grabbed Lu's hand and shouted "Old Ancestor" in his mouth, and his eyes flashed with a cold light, which was not at all like the eyes of a seven-year-old child.

Everyone was busy for a while, and when they finally woke up Zhao again, Zhao raised a hand hard, first pointing at Long Zheng, and then pointing at Long Xiang and Long Chuan, but they couldn't say a word.

Lu Shi said to Long Zheng: "Zheng'er, send me and Sister Zhao back." After that, Lu Shi closed his eyes, two lines of turbid tears flowed from the corners of his eyes, and murmured: "Immortal family, immortal ......"

On this day, after the two ancestors were sent back to their respective residences, they began to be bedridden.

......

The residence of Long Zheng and Li Yun. Long Zheng, Li Yun and Xia Qiuyu each sat silently, their faces all very ugly.

Li Yun said: "Sister of the Xia family, today my Long family has made people see jokes. Today's events, I'm afraid that they will soon spread throughout the entire Sifang City. I'm really sorry for my sister and Qiqi!"

Xia Qiuyu was about to speak, and Long Zheng said: "Xia City Lord, you have also seen the position and situation of my Long family in the hearts of the people of Xianmen today. Just now, although the relationship between Qiqi and Chuan'er has been booked, we have not announced this matter to the public. So far, only the two Ancestors and the three of us know about this matter. City Lord Xia, Long and Xiao Yun felt that it was better to stop this matter. In the future, my Long family will never mention it again. ”

Xia Qiuyu said angrily: "Brother Long, what are you talking about? Could it be that my sister is such a snobbish person? The Long family and the Xia family have been in the same breath and have watched each other for hundreds of years, Sister Yun and I are like sisters, and the two ancestors are even more fond of my sister and Qiqi. Don't say that your Long family is still the lord of Dongcheng now, that is, what will happen to the Long family in the future, the friendship between the Long family and the Xia family is still there, and the relationship between my sister and Sister Yun will not change. The matter of the two children, as long as Brother Long and Sister Yun are willing, the younger sister will have nothing to say. ”

Li Yun sighed: "Sister of the Xia family, but ......"

Xia Qiuyu interrupted Li Yun's words and said, "Sister Yun, there is nothing that cannot be done. In this case, please don't talk about it anymore, so as not to spoil the relationship between our two families. The matter of Chuan'er and Qiqi is so decided. If Brother Long and Sister Yun are willing, after my sister returns to the Xia family, I will wait for you to send someone over to propose marriage. The two ancestors were angry like this, and Brother Long and Sister Yun arranged for someone to propose marriage as soon as possible, and gave the two ancestors Chong Chong joy. ”

Long Zheng and Li Yun glanced at each other, and after sighing at the same time, Long Zheng said, "Xia City Lord, alas, ......"

Xia Qiuyu interrupted Long Zheng's sigh again and said, "Brother Long, Sister Yun, let's not talk about what has been decided." Let's talk about something else. ”

After a pause, Xia Qiuyu said: "Brother Long, Sister Yun, although you have told your sister before that there are so many immortal cultivators in your Long family, my sister was still startled when she saw those ten immortal sect people just now. Brother Long, Sister Yun, the ten immortal sects, plus the offerings to the city, your Long family must not be able to support it. Brother Long, Sister Yun, since our two families have now become in-laws, let my sister help me. My Xia family can have some leftover things every month. ”

Long Zheng gritted his teeth and said, "Xia City Lord......"

Xia Qiuyu interrupted Long Zheng's words again and said, "Brother Long, since they are already sons and daughters, if Brother Long doesn't dislike it, don't call Xia City Lord Xia City Lord anymore." Just ask Brother Long to be the same as Sister Yun, and call Yuqiu a sister. ”

Long Zheng nodded and said, "Sister of the Xia family, the use of the ten immortal sects in the mansion and the worship of the mansion city, the Long family can still afford it." However, after today's events, Long Zheng did have something to ask for, and he wanted to ask the Xia family's sister to help. ”

Xia Qiuyu said: "Brother Long, you have called Yuqiu your sister, what are you doing so politely? As long as my Xia family can do it, my sister will never refuse. ”

Long Zheng said: "Sister of the Xia family, Long Zheng thought about it again and again, and still planned to follow his sister's previous suggestion, and buy a few more places at the foundation inspection conference in five years. ”

When Li Yun heard this, he hurriedly said, "Brother Zheng......"

Long Zheng raised his hand, stopped Li Yun, and said, "Xiao Yun, you also saw today's events. This time, if no one in the Long family can be selected into the Immortal Gate, after the foundation inspection conference, I am really not sure whether my Long family can continue to be the master of this East City. My Long family has been the lord of Dongcheng for hundreds of years, not to mention those who covet this position, even the ordinary people in this Dongcheng, they are not necessarily convinced by my Long family. Once my Long family falls, the consequences will be unimaginable. At that time, these tens of thousands of people in the family may even have a problem of survival. This time, my Long family must survive to the death and fight with all my might!"

After Long Zheng finished speaking, Xia Qiuyu immediately said, "Sister Yun, I agree with Brother Long's words. Qinghe went to Xianmen to practice, although there has been no news in the past six or seven years, my Xia family still saved some things for Qinghe, hoping that when she goes home to visit one day, she can hand it over to her, let her take it to Xianmen, and help her practice. My sister did the math, and now the things that my Xia family has saved for Qinghe are enough for you to buy two more places. When you get back to the house, I'll arrange for someone to bring it to you right away. ”

Li Yun hurriedly said: "Sister of the Xia family, how can we ask for the things you prepared for Qinghe? Although my Long family has no immortal cultivators, and my sister's knowledge is also shallow, and she doesn't know so many things about the immortal sect, she also knows that those things are extremely helpful to Qinghe's cultivation. This is absolutely unacceptable!"

Long Zheng also shook his head and said, "Sister of the Xia family, we must not want light lotus things." The cultivation of light lotus is high, which is of great benefit to your Xia family. ”

Xia Qiuyu said: "Sister Yun, Brother Long, listen to me. When the light lotus was found to be a double immortal base, those immortal elders also said that a good seedling like the light lotus would definitely be cultivated by the immortal sect. My sister saved those things for the light lotus, but she just did her best to be a mother's heart, and the light lotus may not be used. Hurry up and do what you want. The top priority of our two families now is to help your Long family win a chance to enter the Immortal Gate. The more places you have, the better your chances. You take these things first. There are still five years to go before the next foundation inspection conference. In the past five years, the two of us have worked hard together to save a few more things, and then buy a few more places. ”

After Long Zheng and Li Yun glanced at each other again, Long Zheng gritted his teeth and said, "Sister of the Xia family, since this is the case, Long Zheng is no longer hypocritical. No matter what happens in the future, the friendship between the Xia family's sister and the Xia family, my Long family and Long Zheng have all remembered it in my heart. ”

Xia Qiuyu said: "That's right." When I got back, I arranged for someone to bring things over. ”

Long Zheng shook his head and said, "Sister of the Xia family, don't be in a hurry to send things over first." ”

Xia Qiuyu hurriedly said: "Brother Long, didn't you say okay, why has it changed again?"

Long Zheng said: "Sister of the Xia family, it's not that you've changed. I mean, for the time being, the things will be placed in the Xia family first, and we will talk about it at the next foundation inspection conference. First, if Xiang'er or Chuan'er can be selected, there is no need to use these things. ”

Speaking of this, Long Zheng lowered his voice and said, "Second, if these things are transported to my Dragon Mansion early, I am worried that something will happen." ”

Xia Yuqiu asked in a low voice, "Oh?

Li Yun said in a low voice: "Sister of the Xia family, I won't tell you, in the past few years, although my Long family has been able to gather the things that can supply the ten people of the Immortal Sect and the Fucheng, the quality of the things is getting worse and worse. The things that my sister prepared for the light lotus must be good things. Brother Zheng's worry is that if my sister puts the things in our Dragon Mansion early, in case the people of the Xianmen have any way to detect these good things, when the time comes, my Long family will definitely not be able to keep these things. ”

Xia Qiuyu frowned and said, "Sister Yun, Brother Long, in the Sifang City, these things have always been fair trade. Why is it that the quality of the things you have collected in the Dragon Mansion is getting worse and worse? Could it be that someone is making trouble or making a hindrance from it?"

Long Zheng shook his head and said, "Not really. In Dongcheng, the people who preside over this kind of transaction are all their own people who are loyal to the Long family, and they are people we can trust. ”

Xia Qiuyu's brows furrowed even more, and she asked, "How can this be?"

Li Yun also frowned lightly and said, "We don't know either. Brother Zheng and I also went to the place where these things are traded to check on Weifu. People who do things are also doing their best. It's just that when it comes to fair trade, one is willing to fight, and the other is willing to suffer. The immortal family has an order that this kind of item shall not be forcibly bought and sold. Guests don't want to sell good things to Dongcheng, and we can't help it. Besides, my Long family can't do those things that are difficult for strong people. ”

Xia Qiuyu said in wonder, "Isn't it that the price at which you buy these things in Dongcheng is lower than that of other cities?"

Long Zheng shook his head and said, "Sister Xia family, this is impossible. At present, among the four cities in the east, south, west, and north, my Long family has the greatest demand for these things. If it weren't for the Xianmen's regulations, the price of these items should not be raised excessively, and we all want to raise the price, how can we buy them at a lower price?"

Xia Qiuyu gently rubbed his forehead with his hand and said, "Then I really don't understand." ”

The three of them sat silently for a while, and Xia Qiuyu said, "Brother Long, Sister Yun, since you plan to let Chuan'er go to the foundation testing conference, do you want to talk to Chuan'er about this matter in advance?"

Li Yun hesitated for a moment and said, "However, Chuan'er is still young......"

Xia Qiuyu said: "Sister Yun, although Chuan'er is young, she has been smart since she was a child. And, in my opinion, the child's mind is not like that of an ordinary seven-year-old. Think about it, Chuan'er's performance in front of the people of the Immortal Sect just now, where can a seven-year-old child do it?"

Long Zheng groaned slightly, nodded, and said, "Okay." Chuan'er will always have to face this day. Tomorrow morning, I will talk to Chuan'er about it. ”

Long Zheng, Li Yun and Xia Yuqiu were talking here, but they didn't know that Long Chuan, who was sitting side by side with Xia Qiqi by the lotus pond, listened to these words word for word.
