"Hahaha, it doesn't matter. In the final analysis, it's my fault. I failed to make an appointment with your old family leader before. It's my fault that I didn't write clearly in the greeting card I submitted this time."
The person who spoke was an old man, presumably the head of the Sun family who sent the invitation.
"Come on, come on, sit down."
"Thank you."
After being polite, Ouyang sat down and waited for the food to be served.
Looking around, he found that Ouyang didn't know any of the people sitting there. He didn't know who they were or what they did. But when he looked up, everyone nodded reservedly and made no plans to introduce themselves, as if they knew them.
Just as it should be.
There seems to be a subtle misunderstanding here? Ouyang really doesn't know them.
"I invite you all to come here this time to connect with each other. We all suffered a lot from the previous Shimen disaster."
"Stop talking. There is still a possibility of recovering your property. But all my boxes of porcelain were smashed and shattered."
"Oh, Qixing has already explained that it was an accident. Qianyan's army went out to investigate before and found nothing, so there is no possibility of recovery."
As the same dishes were served, Ouyang began to eat quietly. He was really here to eat.
Listening to their words, you can roughly understand who they are.
They were basically all victims of the Shimen disaster. Basically, it was because the head of the Sun family was not on the list of the caravans affected by the disaster.
Ouyang had also received the official document from Yue Hai Pavilion before. All kinds of evidence showed that it was an accident. The only doubt was that hundreds of people died, and no one survived.
It stands to reason that if hundreds of people wanted to run away, a few would be able to escape, but the result was total annihilation. Every corpse brought back had the residue of abyss energy, so the specific situation at that time cannot be verified.
He chose to believe Qixing's investigation. It was not good to be suspicious without other evidence.
But apparently these people don't think so.
"Master Sun, do you have any other news? I heard that the Qianyan Army who left the city suffered a lot of losses this time. It seems that this matter is not simple?"
"Yes, I heard that the Qianyan Army on duty near Shimen did not have enough strength to carry out guard work because of the internal discord among the Seven Stars."
"Hearsay is not necessary. I know that you have suffered a great loss in this matter. We can support each other and get through this difficulty together. Don't believe those who gossip."
The head of the Sun family interrupted the topic promptly. Qixing had many eyes and ears, so it would be bad if word got out.
At this time, the door of the box was opened. Ouyang saw the person coming at the door and asked doubtfully: "What's wrong?"
"Master, Xue Lian is about to give birth. Guiping asked me to come find the master."
After hearing the news, Ouyang did not dare to neglect, stood up and said goodbye to everyone.
"Thank you Master Sun for hosting the banquet. I have something to do at home, so I'll leave first."
After walking out of Xinyuexuan, Ouyang did not choose to take the sedan chair brought by the guards, but ran directly back to the mansion.
Now is the time when the night market on Feiyun Slope is bustling, and the sedan chair is not moving very fast.
All the way to Tingzhuyuan, he stopped Guiping who wanted to come forward to speak.
Ouyang stood quietly in the corridor and waited. As a grown man, he did not understand the matter of giving birth and could not help.
At this time, I could hear the bustle in the Bamboo Garden, and the maids huddled together amidst Wen Po's shouts.
Everyone is doing their own thing seriously and at this moment, there can be no mistakes.
Listening to the commotion inside, Ouyang, who was standing outside, felt a little nervous.
Xue Lian's pregnancy was more than nine months, and it was reasonable to say that it was almost time to give birth, but when I thought about her mental state when I saw her this afternoon, I couldn't help but worry.
This child is related to the continuation of your family and is a top priority.
Ouyang has never thought about marrying a wife and giving birth to a child to adopt a noble family to continue the bloodline. It is not that he has any noble moral character, but that he has felt that the position of the head of the noble family is like a cage.
As I said before, he has no feelings for his family. It's all just because of some kindness. What he yearns for is a free life. Unfortunately, he has an entire family on his back now. In order to prevent your family from collapsing, he can only carry the burden forward.
Just like the dinner party just now, as a member of the Xuanmen lineage, I actually don't need to use it, because the two are basically people from two circles, or even two classes.
Liyue is thriving under the governance of Qixing, but the world may have forgotten that Xuanmen is not included in this.
Xuanmen is a general term, your family is a Taoist formation family, Shen He is an exorcist family, and Guhua sect is also a branch of Xuanmen. Their main business is exorcism and demon elimination, but each focuses on different things.
Some of the neglectful actions at the dinner were just because Ouyang was too lazy to care. The strength levels of the two were not of the same magnitude. The businessmen of Liyue Port had been at ease for a long time, and they might have forgotten the methods of their reclusive families.
Anyway, after raising the child, leave the family to him and leave.
"Wow--"
With a cry, Ouyang's thoughts were interrupted. Po Wen held the infant baby at the door of the house and announced the good news: "Congratulations, sir, mother and child are safe, mother and child are safe!"
"Thank you for your hard work. Take good care of them, mother and son. You will all be rewarded!"
Still not close, Ouyang left after getting the results. There were so many maids at home, and the nanny had already arranged them, so he didn't need to worry about things like taking care of them.
What he should worry about now is to think carefully about how to educate his child. He now very much hopes that this child can support the business of the Rebirth Hall at the age of thirteen like Hu Tao.
But when you think about it, this is basically a delusion.
"Instructions, do I have anything in mind about how to educate children?"
"Receive the command, start the search, search is completed, user, you have no memory about educating children."
The answer from the system is not surprising. Although I was in love in my previous life, I never got married. Only a ghost can understand the way children are educated.
I came to the Guanhai Pavilion and sat down. After flipping through two pages of the book, I found that I would not be able to enter the state of study for a while.
Although it is not my own child, I am always happy about the birth of a new life.
There should be no crisis in your family at the moment. Although the decline of the family is very obvious, it is still possible to raise a child.
As long as I slowly adjust the family business in the past few years, the family will not be completely lonely in the future.
While thinking, he subconsciously touched the ring finger, interrupting Ouyang's thoughts and remembering that he hadn't had time to look at it yet.
Okay, let's take a look at what Uncle Zhongli said about the things left by our ancestors.
Out of curiosity, Ouyang injected spiritual power into the ring and took out the only item in the space ring.
