Chapter 13 Family Game
Southwest of Takayama Castle, "White Tea Garden".
Jing Hua closed his steps and lowered his arms, ending his afternoon practice.
From "Lingrun" to "Lingcui", the young man's cultivation has improved by leaps and bounds. In the blink of an eye, Jing Hua's progress gradually slowed down and finally returned to his normal state.
"Lingcui" and "Lingrun" progress step by step, and it takes several years or even decades. The length varies depending on each person's qualifications and roots. Jing Hua has long known this, so he is not in a hurry.
After the practice of his work, he did not immediately return to the "Yishan Hall", but walked out of the clean room and stood in the courtyard and thought alone.
"White Tea Garden" is a private house in the city of Jing's family and the former residence of Jing Hua's father. After Jing Tianci got married, he lived here with Jing Hua's mother Mei. The garden is full of southern Xinjiang camellias, flower gardens, and houses.
In Jing Hua's view, white camellias are everywhere, scattered and arranged, elegant and quiet. Several rooms are empty, with nothing but cushions and tables, and they do not have the temperament of wealthy families, which seems too simple.
The tea garden is relatively abundant, and it should be the place where Jing and Mei trained. There is very little message left by "My Mother". The boy only knew that she was also a spiritual monk and died of illness very early.
Jing Hua lives alone in the "white tea garden", and the surface is under the banner of "relaxation". When he was young, he often came to the garden to play, so the two elders did not think much about it. The real reason is that the "white tea garden" environment is suitable, which is convenient for young people to visualize and practice.
For several months, he used the "Tai Chi method" to temper his body, and the pain gradually became smaller and his progress slowed down significantly. The "Guanfengtai" was full of spiritual energy, but Jing Hua was unwilling to expose the "secret skills", so the visualization time was short and he could not maintain the "spiritual" practice.
Jing's family has more than a dozen industries, and the conditions of the "White Tea Garden" are relatively good. Although it is far less than the "Guanfengtai", it is stronger than the study room in the "Yishantang". Therefore, Jing Hua used the excuse of "relaxation" to go to the park to practice secretly every day.
As Jing Tianci’s former residence, the “White Tea Garden” is covered with green trees and fragrant flowers. The flower garden separates the tea garden from the hustle and bustle of the city. When you are in it, the superiority of “quietness in the noise” arises naturally.
There was no one around, and Jing Hua was walking on the paths in the garden, and various fragments surged into his heart. There were both childhood experiences and memories of his previous life. In a trance, Jing Hua seemed to feel the figure of the boy. He was wandering deep in his soul, and he couldn't tell each other clearly.
"Geng Er, Geng Qi, what are you here to do?"
The noise came, and Jing Hua stopped and looked up.
"Uncle Jing, it was Manager Xiao who ordered that the batch of animal bones be sealed and placed in the back room."
A conversation between servants came from outside the garden. Jing Hua was a spiritual monk, with five consciousnesses and six consciousnesses, and could hear clearly.
There are several houses next to the "White Tea Garden", which are Jing's spare warehouses. On weekdays, goods occasionally come in and out, which is very common in Jing's home.
Seeing that it was getting late, Jing Hua let go of his worries and walked out of the garden, and greeted his servants to set off for the trip back home. When the cargo manager saw the eldest son, he naturally stepped forward and bowed to salute.
Now is different. Jing Hua is no longer the "newbie" he had just traveled through time. He has long been used to the servants' service. He nodded casually. After a glance, several friends found their faces resentful, as if they were in trouble.
The monks under the rule of "Fire Thunder Gate" were very strict among the people. The guys belonged to the Jing family servants. They neither did nor did they dare to be dissatisfied with the young master. Jing Hua's thoughts were slightly moved, and he called him the manager and asked about the reason for sealing the goods.
The guys were not happy at first. After hearing the eldest master’s question, he immediately poured out a bamboo tube of beans and told the whole story one by one.
It turned out that yesterday morning, the Jing family gave up a mule and horse shop under their name and handed over to the Wang clerk. After Jing Furen nodded in agreement, the guys could only obey orders. In Jingshan City, the Wang clerks had always been in a disagreement, and the transfer of mule and horse shop was a "descending one's head and giving in", which naturally made the people very depressed.
After hearing this, Jing Hua did not speak, and then pulled away from his friend and boarded the carriage. Outsiders did not know the details of the Jing family. As the grandson, Jing Hua was very clear about the family situation.
In the city of Takayama, the person who talked about it was Yun Yong. As the master of the hall, he was in charge, representing the majesty of the "Fire Thunder Gate". In fact, the master of the hall is not responsible for specific affairs. Most of the city's lijin, resources, taxes, etc. are controlled by disciples and deacons of the aristocratic family. Jing and Wang families are the aristocratic family leaders.
The wealth in Jing's hands is far from
It is as simple as "Yishantang". The supply and marketing of the resources of the Jing family are basically in the hands of the Jing family. The Wang family is better, controlling the transactions of spirit stones, jade mines, gold and silver, gambling shops, etc.
Jing Furen once intervened in freight outside the city, and the mule and horse carriage mentioned by the guys belonged to one of them. Although the mule and horse carriage was not as profitable as the elixir, the gathering was small and the income was considerable. Now, the mule and horse carriage was sold for no reason, Jing Hua felt inexplicably pressure.
Back then, Jing Tianci was perfectly built the foundation, and Jing’s family was used everywhere in Xingshan City. Not to mention the Wang family, even if they were the master of the division, they had to discuss with the Jing family when they encountered problems.
Later, Jing Tianci went out for a trip and did not return the message, and the situation in the city began to change. I don’t know when, rumors gradually spread in the market that Jing Tianci had passed away. Although the matter was not confirmed, the Jing family suffered a major blow, and Wang took advantage of the situation and pressed step by step.
Jing Hua sat in the car, closing his eyes to sort out the past.
Seeing the small knowledge, he could probably guess Jing Furen's painstaking efforts. He gave up some uneasy wealth in exchange for time and protected the core interests of Jing's family. As long as he could break through to the foundation building, the current dilemma would be solved.
The question is, can the Wang family be stable now?
Jing Hua has no confidence.
In the "unexpected conflict" several months ago, Wang De obviously took action. If he had received the acquiescence from his family before, it means that the Wang family is ready and is not afraid of turning against Jing.
From this, it is judged that a mere mule and horse store cannot satisfy the greed of Wang. At present, the Jing family is not as strong as the Wang family, so they can only deal with the moves. The fellow disciples in the city are all watching the scenery. As the master of the hall, Yun Yong only watches on the side.
Knowing the family's predicament, Jing Hua couldn't come up with any solution. The only feasible way was to improve his own strength as soon as possible. Thinking of this, the boy's hesitation gradually disappeared.
The "Yishan Hall" is not suitable for cultivation. Although the "White Tea Garden" is a little better, it is still far behind the "Guanfengtai". Outside the city of Stoneyama is full of spiritual energy, but Jing Hua can't find an excuse to leave. The only way is to search in the city secretly, find a suitable place, and take time to practice secretly.
Jing Hua's thoughts changed sharply, and a bold idea came out.
It is better to choose a day than to meet the day. If you have the chance tonight, you can come out to explore the way first. As for the location, you might as well choose the mule and horse robe that you just gave up.
