Chapter Thirteen: No Idea Wall
"The old slave asks to see the mistress, son."
The voice of a humble old man came from outside the wood door.
By chance, the story on the white jade screen was about to come to an end, and the yard suddenly became quiet, making the old man's voice particularly abrupt.
Chu Liuxian couldn't help but frown.
Chu's mother sighed and said, "Please come in with Mr. Cui."
The wood door opened in response to the sound, and an old man with white hair and beard bowed in.
Chu Liuxian's eyes fell on him and looked at the butler of the Lord of Shenxiao Palace for a lifetime.
He had long learned from Qin Bo that he had been the chief manager of the mansion for three times, and his position in the family was far above Qin Bo. Even the legitimate son of the Chu family could be called "Lao Cui".
Although he bent his body, he could still see that his skeleton was very large and his figure was erect. If he was angry, he would still be as swaying as a lion.
"The old slave has met his mistress, young master."
Old Cui bowed meticulously, nodded to Xin Yi and then said to Chu's mother apologized: "Miss Mother, it's getting late, the master of the mansion asked the old slave to come..."
He didn't finish his words, but neither Chu's mother nor Chu Liuxian would have misled his meaning.
Chu's mother shook her head, showing reluctance, and patted her that she had never let go since she entered the door. Chu Liuxian said, "Go to me, go back, I'm free, remember to come here for my mother."
Chu Liuxian nodded, stood up, and said a little unwillingly: "Would you like to go with me?"
Chu's mother smiled bitterly and shook her head, saying, "I won't ruin my good mood for you."
She wanted to speak but stopped, but after all, she didn't want to talk about her father's fault in front of her children. She just sighed.
Chu Liuxian's expression darkened, and he took a deep breath and said, "Mother, the child will say goodbye first. Let's go back and watch the show with his mother."
Then he calmly bowed to Chu's mother and walked out of the yard first.
Mr. Cui hurriedly followed, followed quickly, leading the way, smiling bitterly.
In his opinion, the relationship between the father and son is probably in a difficult situation.
He took Qin Bo and Shuang'er with him. Under the leadership of Mr. Cui, the three of them arrived at Chu Zheng's official residence, the beautiful mansion of the lord.
At this time, the sunset is setting and the bright moon is in the sky, and it is already night.
Mr. Cui, Mr. Qin and others stopped, and Chu Liuxian stepped into the lobby alone.
But I saw that the lights were brightly lit on all sides. Chu Zheng sat in the middle of the hall.
In this lobby, there were not only Chu Zheng, but more than ten people. However, the seating rate of everyone was very particular.
The case-dividing system is adopted here. There is another food case next to Chu Zheng in the middle, and an empty case is set up opposite. The rest of the people sat down on the side and did not dare to occupy the position of the main hall.
Chu Liuxian was stunned when he came in, his eyes swept across everyone, and then he suddenly realized.
This was a family dinner, but he thought it would be just him and Chu Zheng and his son. He never thought that so many people would come to the scene.
This question disappeared after he glanced at it.
Except Chu Zheng, most of the others are children. The older ones are only six or seven years old, while the younger ones can barely sit at the table to eat.
Needless to say, these are all considered to be his younger brother and sister-in-law and Chu Zheng's children.
After watching this scene, Chu Liuxian's already darkened face, which was already as dark as water.
According to the Chu rules, these younger siblings can only be considered concubines, so they can only be on one side. Strictly speaking, they are not considered to have seats.
There are only three real seats in the entire lobby, two are Chu Zheng and his wife, and one is Chu Liuxian.
Chu's mother lived in that small courtyard and did not meet the Chu clan, so the mistress's wèizhi was naturally vacant.
As soon as Chu Liuxian entered, Chu Zheng's eyebrows and eyes were lively, as if he was about to ask something, but before he could ask, Chu Liuxian turned around and refused to look at him.
The illegitimate brothers and sisters next to them hurriedly stood up, saluted respectfully, and shouted childishly, "Brother Liuxian" in a childish voice.
Their timid looks were both curious and timid eyes, which made Chu Liuxian block his chest in one breath and prevent it from happening, so he had to sit in his seat in a cowardly.
There were no outsiders present. Chu Zheng started to speak at this time and introduced the names of each of his younger siblings to Chu Liuxian. Without asking, the young masters before were not willing to see these children, let alone know their names.
Chu Liuxian was neither enthusiastic nor cold, and nodded.
After finally introducing his children, Chu Zheng endured it and endured it, but he couldn't help it. He asked, "Liuxian, your mother... is she still safe?"
Chu Liuxian raised his eyebrows and sneered, "Mother is nothing else, she's just listening to the play. If you care, why not visit her in person?"
This time he didn't call him "father", he just called him "you", but he felt very happy.
Chu Zheng sighed, leaned into the seat dejectedly, and smiled bitterly: "It would be great if she had seen her father, for nothing, it was all a sin for her father."
His depressed look was not pretending.
"It's because of my father's feelings for your mother. But my father's feelings for your mother were not false, even today."
Chu Liuxian shook his head and said nothing.
He could see during this period that his father was not actually a material for the master of the mansion, let alone the Shenxiao Chu family's common affairs, but his own housework had he settled?
This is a typical love type. When you see each other, you fall in love with each other. Each of you is deeply moved. For a moment, the same feeling will burst out on other women when you look back.
What else can Chu Liuxian say?
At this moment, his mind calmed down, not as chaotic as before, and he immediately realized the cultivation level of Chu Zheng.
Chu Zheng's body exuded aura of darkness like Chu Tiange, Chu Youlong and others.
He is actually the Yin God Venerable.
At first, Chu Liuxian was also shocked. Chu Zheng was only about thirty people, but he was already the Yin God Venerable?
But he soon realized something was wrong.
When Chu Zheng mentioned Chu's mother before, his mood fluctuated and his breath was exposed. If the water from the drainage gate or the flood of the dike was unrestrained, it could not be restrained, and it was not pure enough. It was too complicated and not enough, so it should not be the realm that he had cultivated.
"Is there a heretic Yin God?"
Chu Liuxian secretly guessed something, thinking that he was the master of the Shenxiao Chu family. No matter how he had cultivated before, the clan would use the methods of external things, or rely on other people's sects to create a Yin God Venerable.
This is for the sake of the Shenxiao Chu family's facade, and secondly, it may be because of other causes and conditions, so it is not something Chu Liuxian can know.
A meal tastes like chewing wax. Not to mention that the father and son have their own thoughts, even those children of the illegitimate children, regardless of their age, were silent and finished the meal in a dull manner.
Chu Liuxian was impatient to be too impatient to be stunned in this atmosphere, so he was about to get up and leave. Just then, Chu Zheng spoke.
"Liuxian. As a father, you won't leave you much. After dinner, let Mr. Cui lead you to a place, and there are some arrangements in the clan."
Chu Zheng was so reluctant to leave when he said this. Over the past few years, he has been separated from this proud son. He originally wanted to make up for it during this period, but unfortunately, the clan arrangement was not something that he, the lord, could control.
"Is it arranged in the clan?"
Chu Liuxian's mind suddenly became clear.
As soon as he returned to Shenxiao Mansion, he was immersed in his complex emotions, and then got involved in the conflict between his parents, and it was not until this moment that he suddenly woke up.
Chu Liuxian came back this time for Lei Ze, and for the secret of the seven sins that will not be long before, rather than these family matters, and there is no right or wrong housework.
"Um!"
Chu Liuxian responded, nodded to his relieved younger siblings, turned around and left the lobby.
Outside, Mr. Cui kept waiting. He seemed to be unaware of what happened in the lobby and saluted respectfully: "Young master, come with the old slave."
Chu Liuxian also asked where he went, but followed Cui Lao through Shenxiao Mansion and walked all the way to the screen-like mountain he leaned against.
It looks spectacular from a distance. When you get closer, you feel that the entire mountain has taken up all the vision, and the moonlight shines on it, reflecting dark spots.
Chu Liuxian looked at him and easily judged that every spot was a cave, and similar caves were almost incalculable on the entire mountain wall.
"Old Cui, where are we going?"
At this time, Chu Liuxian said the first sentence after leaving the lobby.
Mr. Cui breathed a sigh of relief in front of him, as if the depressing atmosphere before was almost unbearable. He smiled and said with a smile on his face: "What we are going to be under the wall of Wuxiang, where there are people arranged by the elders group waiting for the young master."
"What will happen in the future is not something that people like Lao Nu can know."
Chu Liuxian nodded, silently recited the "Wall of No Thoughts" in his heart, and stopped asking more questions.
The Shenxiao Chu family used the secret method of Wushao's thoughts as the secret method of defending the clan. This large mountain wall is named after the wall of Wushao, so he couldn't help but associate it in that direction.
With his speaking skills, under the guidance of Mr. Cui, Chu Liuxian walked under the mountain wall.
In front, there are fields, houses, wells, oxen, flowers and plants planted in the fields, or rice planting, and various spiritual herbs are planted randomly in the sky.
Next to the fields, in front of the houses, under the old trees, many old men and women scattered among them, and the sound of vaguely chatting and laughing came.
Seeing this scene, Chu Liuxian slowed down and felt indescribable strange feelings.
Fields are spiritual fields, and planting ordinary rice, flowers and plants is a waste of resources; spiritual grass is a treasure of heaven, but it is also planted in a mess like wild grass.
These are naturally strange things, and even more strange things made Chu Liuxian feel strange things. The people who chatted under the moon and enjoyed the coolness like ordinary old men and women in the mortal village. Their aura inexplicably made him feel extremely familiar.
Having barely seen the situation in the village, Mr. Cui, who was leading the way in front, suddenly stopped and gave Chu Liuxian out, saying, "Young Master, there is the forbidden area in the clan ahead. No one is allowed to approach unless the elders are allowed. The old slave can only send it here."
"Forbidden area?"
Chu Liuxian's questions could only be hidden in his heart. Although he gave him a strange feeling everywhere, he was still incomparable to the names of the forbidden land of the Shenxiao Chu family.
