1, the Xu clan
In early spring, the grass is growing and warblers are flying, which is a great time. Outside Xujia Village, in a land with clear mountains and clear waters, a young man is lying on his back on the lush grass, with his arms behind his head, in a leisurely and comfortable posture.
The pale golden sunlight hit the young man's face, which was warm and soft, making him squint his eyes and rest peacefully.
This stay lasted for an afternoon. In the evening, when the last light disappeared from the horizon, the young man yawned lazily and sat up.
When I walked to the entrance of the village, I saw a boy dressed as a servant trotting over and said quickly: "Young Master, someone from the separated family has come. Please tell me to come out and look for you."
The young man frowned and then relaxed: "Then go back quickly."
The boy quickly led the way, walked through several stone paths, and arrived in front of a big house. The young man followed the boy and entered the door. There was already a guest sitting in the hall. He was a middle-aged man wearing a long coat, his eyes
The divine light flashes and the temples are bulging high. It seems that he is an acquired master.
The young man paused for a moment, then hurried in the next moment: "I heard that there are guests coming. It's really disappointing to welcome them from afar."
The middle-aged man's name is Xu Cheng, and he is a capable steward of the branch family. This time he was sent by the master of the branch family to greet the young master, and he was very unwilling to do so.
This is not a good trip.
Where is Xujia Village? For a big family like the Xu family, not to mention the clan, even the branch family is one of the best in a city like Fenglin. And this Xujia Village can only be regarded as a branch family in a small place
It's just a village. The people sent here have come down over the years, but there is still a certain population.
Any young master who is somewhat favored is a bastard, and it is rare for him to be sent down here. What's more, the origin of this young master is hard to say. He is not actually the son of the current master of the branch family, but the previous master - the current master.
The only son of the sickly elder brother. Originally
He was the legitimate son, but he was in an embarrassing situation because of the death of his predecessor. Not long after, he was simply sent to Xujia Village. In name, the entire Zhuangzi was given to him, but in fact it was just a lack of food and clothing.
Just worrying about it may not mean that you really have the right to take charge of Xujiacun.
If you are more ambitious and have the means to control the people in Zhuangzi, even if you are not very promising, you can still be a local bully. But this young master has a soft temper, neither blaming his servants nor having a bad temper. Over time,
, thanks to the strict rules of the Xu family, although the servants did things well in appearance, in fact, they didn't think highly of him in their hearts.
Xu Cheng's visit this time was of course a big deal. Otherwise, how could he, an eighth-level Houtian warrior and a prominent person in the Houtian realm, come to such a place full of rubes!
But after all, there is a difference between master and servant. Xu Chengshen is highly regarded by the master of the family, but he is a warrior born in the family. He can shock people with his power as a warrior, but he must not forget the basic rules. The master is the master, and the servant is the servant.
Even for those who are forgotten and neglected like this young master Xu Ziqing, Xu Cheng still has to maintain a minimum of courtesy.
He stood up and did not salute because he was an eighth-level warrior. He nodded slightly and said, "Young Master, Xu Cheng has been ordered by the master of the branch family to welcome you back."
Xu Ziqing smiled: "I wonder why uncle called me back?"
Xu Cheng said: "The young master is already thirteen years old this year. Regardless of the bloodline of the direct branch of our Xu family, once he reaches this age, he will be sent to the clan to test the spiritual roots. Since the young master is a direct descendant, he is no exception."
Xu Ziqing lowered his eyes. Naturally, he did not want to leave Xujiacun. However, his arms could not twist his thighs. He still had to get what he deserved. He readily agreed: "When will we set off?"
Xu Cheng saw that the young master was not arrogant in temperament and behaved generously, so he appreciated it more: "If the young master doesn't mind, the sooner the better. Why don't you come with me early tomorrow morning."
Xu Ziqing nodded: "I will do as you say."
That night Xu Ziqing tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.
He was not originally from this world, but the youngest son of a family in a completely different world. He was loved and loved since childhood, but unfortunately he was in poor health. He lived for eighteen years, but could only stay in bed with him.
Wandering by the window, even if I want to take a few steps in the garden downstairs to enjoy the flowers, it is a rare thing.
The power system of that world is also very different from this world. People's physical fitness is naturally good, but they rely more on something called "technology". With this technology as the foundation, humans have already existed in the universe
He went back and forth several times, but his life span was short, and he could not live to be more than two hundred years old at most.
In this world, people absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and use the strength to temper their bodies. Maybe they don’t have spiritual roots, and at most they can only become a warrior, enter the Tao through martial arts, and reach the martial arts innately. Or maybe they have spiritual roots, and there is hope.
Immortals are different from warriors. As long as they can really absorb spiritual energy into their Dantian, they will no longer be ordinary people.
Xu Ziqing was reincarnated into his mother's womb. He only knew that she should be a beautiful woman, but he had never seen her since she was born. His father was a gentle and elegant man, but unfortunately he was in poor health. Before Xu Ziqing could speak, he could
After saying that, he died. His father was obviously the eldest son and inherited the branch family for a few years. However, once he died, the branch family fell into the hands of his younger brother.
The uncle's name is Xu Mengqian. He has some thoughts and is not a bad person. But since the main wife has given birth to a son, how can he let the eldest grandson stay? Xu Ziqing has no choice but to be raised. If he hadn't drank less in his previous life, then
A bowl of Meng Po soup, I'm afraid that the gossips around me have developed a dandy temperament, and my life will be ruined.
Xu Ziqing actually has no ambitions. In his previous life, he was always on the sickbed, and he is already blessed to have a healthy body in this life. As he grew up, he fell in love with the beautiful scenery of the mountains that he had never seen in his previous life, and he longed to stay in Xujia Village for the rest of his life.
, he didn’t expect that he would have to come out after all. Now he just hopes that there is no trace of Lao Shizi’s spiritual roots growing in his head, otherwise he will have to stay in the clan, and it’s hard to say how he will live in the future.
The next day, a rickety carriage drove out of Xujiacun. Because Xu Ziqing had never learned martial arts and rarely worked, his physical condition was not much better. Xu Cheng had expected this and came
With the strength of an eighth-level warrior, he came here in a hurry, but when he left, he got such a car
The carriage. He drove freely in front and let Xu Ziqing fall asleep in the carriage. The two of them also traveled day and night, eating dry food and drinking water from the stream. Xu Cheng was full of energy, and the horse pulling the carriage was not an ordinary walking horse, and he did not feel tired.
Xu Ziqing was sleepy, so when he woke up, he looked out the car window and looked at the scenery. He didn't feel uncomfortable at all.
Three days later, they arrived at Fenglin City, where the Xu family split up.
The carriage did not stop on the road and went straight to the Xu Mansion. It was the compound of the deep house. There were many houses in dense layers. There were two stone lions at the door of the house. I don’t know which skilled craftsman carved them. They were really majestic and imposing. Xu Cheng jumped down
The car clicked twice on the vermilion door, and a boy opened the door.
I only heard Xu Cheng say: "Young Master Xu Ziqing is back, why don't you come over and help the young master out of the car!"
After he scolded him, two maids quickly walked out of the door, went to the carriage and opened the curtain, stretched out their arms and lowered their heads to help the master and young master get out of the car.
Finally, an arm was put on the maid's wrist. The maid couldn't help but look up and saw a smiling face. Although the childishness was still there, there was a gentle and elegant look between her eyebrows. She couldn't help but blush slightly and couldn't speak.
, I just helped the person to defecate quickly.
Xu Ziqing got out of the car, said "Excuse me", then let go and stood still. Xu Cheng was a little anxious and quickly called the young master several times before Xu Ziqing quickly followed and entered the main house together.
Someone inside had reported it to the master of the branch family. Xu Mengqian came out to meet Xu Ziqing and exchanged a few words. Xu Ziqing also called "uncle" and answered, and then the servants took him back to his room. He could only smell that he was already there.
