The Shui family has a good geographical location, close to mountains and rivers, and has excellent Feng Shui. It is one of the best places in the Wuji Mountains except where the sect is located. Other Feng Shui treasures and Cave Heaven Paradise are also occupied by big families.
During the days when Tang Yue came to Wuji Mountain, he gradually understood the power structure of the large sects: there were sects formed by masters and apprentices, and there were also family interests.
Each major family trains disciples, supports them to occupy important positions in their respective sects, and then feeds the family back after success, forming a complex relationship of interest.
For example, her grandfather is from the Shui family and is the elder in charge of the main peak of Wuji Mountain; her adoptive father is from the Duan family and is also the elder who transmits the Dharma at Tianwai Peak.
In addition to this, there is nepotism by in-laws - disciples marry not only to give birth to highly qualified offspring, but also to have a marriage that is beneficial to the family. This is a method used by major families to ensure the long-term prosperity of the family.
Shui Yingrou's marriage was decided by the head of the old family, but at that time she also liked the tall and handsome Tang Wenhua, and she was willing to marry him knowing that he had a sweetheart.
At this time, Shui Yingrou, Tang Wenhua and Tang Yue were resting in a wing room, which was provided by the Shui family for relatives and distinguished guests to let them rest for a while before the banquet started.
"What good things have you done in Wuji Mountain? You have to restrain your finances in public, which really brings shame on Kunwu City!" Tang Wenhua was still the same as before, criticizing Tang Yue as soon as he saw her, which made him numb.
"Okay, don't take out your grievances against me on Ah Yue. If other people's children had gone through dangerous situations and survived with their own abilities, their parents would have praised them, but you have to reprimand them when we meet.
child."
Shui Yingrou rolled her eyes at Tang Wenhua, feeling more and more disappointed in him. How did she fall in love with this person at that time?
Tang Wenhua had a look of hatred on his face, "A loving mother often loses her son, so just spoil Tang Yue like this." After saying that, he walked out, leaving the mother and daughter behind.
There were only mother and son left in the wing. Tang Yue approached Mrs. Shui and asked, "Mom, what happened between you and your father? Why do you say your father is resentful towards you?"
"It's nothing serious. He just wanted to bring Chu Tianshu and Tang Wan to his uncle's birthday. I refused. I still brought Mu Chongyun and Liu Hao. Didn't you agree with them that we would have delicious food together? It happened to be the Shui family.
The cook is good."
Tang Yue admired Mrs. Shui very much. Her mentality had become so open-minded in just a few months. Tang Wenhua was dissatisfied and angry because it was not as important as the two children eating delicious food.
"Chu Tianshu is so arrogant and arrogant, so there is no reaction?" Tang Yue was very curious. He remembered that in the original work, Mrs. Shui took the male protagonist everywhere to socialize and treated him as her son-in-law. She was annoyed every time.
Tang Wan was sad and cried for a long time.
"I don't know. Your father said that he is not a narrow-minded person. I heard that he traveled to various places recently. He has just finished traveling and is traveling again. He is really diligent."
She suspected that Mrs. Shui was acting strangely, but there was no evidence.
Generally, monks will travel for a period of time, then return to the monastery to retreat for a period of time, and then travel again, which is beneficial to their practice.
Chu Tianshu probably finished his last trip and was stuck in time to return to Kunwu City, waiting for Mrs. Shui to take him to a social banquet for monks and celebrities.
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Shui didn't take him there, and went out angrily. There may be some psychological activities that you can't stand up to me today, but you can't stand up to others in the future.
"What about Tang Wan?" She asked again about the heroine's reaction.
"I don't know, I haven't seen you for a long time." Mrs. Shui replied nonchalantly.
Well, Madam Shui has forgotten this concubine.
"Sister, Sister, the Shui family is distributing nectar, and we have brought you two bottles." Mu Chongyun happily ran from the door, followed by Liu Hao, who was as cute as him.
Mrs. Shui smiled lovingly and said, "Okay, let's have a taste." She took the nectar from their hands.
Tang Yue tasted it and said, "It's really good, with a slight floral fragrance."
"I heard that it was collected from flowers when the sun first rose, and it was the dewdrops formed by the spiritual flowers after absorbing the spiritual mist in the mountains." Liu Hao, like a little researcher, educated them on science.
"Young Master Uncle is so attentive. Are the people picking flowers all young and beautiful female cultivators?"
"Yes, how did you know, nephew? Have you heard of it before?"
Tang Yue smiled, "Because some monks just like to do this kind of thing."
The two children were confused, and Mrs. Shui gave her a rollicking look, spoiling the children.
"By the way, Ruan Ying just told me secretly that she asked you to rescue her. Recently, Mrs. Shui looked at her when she was at home, and Master An looked at her when she was in the sect. She has no chance to be alone and can't bear it anymore."
Mrs. Shui conveyed Ruan Ying's plea for help to Tang Yue. She felt that this child was indeed very unlucky. First, he almost lost his life to Elder Duan, and then he almost lost his life in the secret realm.
She didn't blame Ruan Ying for bringing Tang Yue into the secret realm. These things were all caused by fate and good fortune and misfortune. Tang Yue came back from the secret realm and there were some microscopic insects. Her father said they could be used as a killing move.
use.
She said this, and afterwards she and Elder Shui gave Tang Yue more heaven-level and earth-level spiritual weapons.
Tang Yue went to look for Ruan Ying and found that she was not idle either. She was talking to people over there in a strange manner.
"Cousin Shui, congratulations on entering the foundation building stage. Cousin Rudong is about to enter the foundation building stage as well. She is only a few months younger than me. She is really a formidable young person!"
The corner of Tang Yue's mouth twitched. How young will he be if he is just a few months old??
Cousin Shui looked impatient, "After all, we haven't entered the foundation building period yet. But I envy you, Cousin Ruan. I heard that Aunt Shui never left you when you were at home. When you were in the sect, you even slept in the master's room. She took better care of you than San
A year-old child is still very delicate.”
A young lady who was sitting with Cousin Shui also said: "Yes, I heard that it was Ruan Ying who proposed to enter the Flowing Fire Secret Realm. Now all your brothers and sisters have died at the hands of the demons. Only you are a blessing in disguise."
Ruan Ying became angry when she heard this. She didn't want her brothers and sisters to die unexpectedly. She turned around and saw Tang Yue coming, and said hurriedly: "Cousin Tang, you are here!"
"Yes, I heard you were looking for me." Tang Yue walked to the pavilion where they were resting.
The women opposite looked at her and one of them said, "Is this cousin Tang the daughter of Lord Tang?"
"Sister, I am Tang Yue. Can I ask for your name?"
"You know etiquette, I am Dongfang Xue, and I was invited to attend the birthday banquet."
When Tang Yue heard this, it was not surprising that this young lady from the Dongfang family, the largest aristocratic family in Wuji Mountain, was on good terms with the Shui family, the third largest aristocratic family in the Wuji Mountains, so he suppressed her implication for the time being.
"Hello, Sister Dongfang."
The young lady from the Shui family who had a strange quarrel with Ruan Ying at the beginning said to Tang Yue, "I am your cousin Shui Wanqiu. In the past few months, you have not come to Wuji Mountain to visit your elders, so naturally you don't recognize me.
"
In fact, after Tang Yue returned from Duan's house, he asked Elder Shui if he wanted to visit Shui's house. Elder Shui said no, there would be a chance in the future.
At that time, she thought it was because the monks did not move around frequently with relatives and friends because of their spiritual practice. It turned out that Elder Shui had other intentions.
Ruan Ying couldn't stand listening, "Everyone is busy practicing, so there is no time to visit frequently. Besides, it is Grandpa Zeng's birthday party, isn't it a good opportunity to visit?"
Tang Yue followed her words and said, "Exactly. Cousin Shui must also know that I have experienced a lot in the past few months, so I didn't come to visit. Please don't mind."
Cousin Shui was dissatisfied with her answer. In her opinion, this Tang Yue should have been trying to please the Shui family from the beginning. Why did she go to the Duan family as a foster daughter and befriend Ruan Ying, but she didn't come to visit her?
If she adds another sister to her group who has a similar background to Tang Yue, she can be said to be the group of famous girls with the highest family background in Wuji Mountain who have not yet left the court. They are somewhat famous in the entire Liuzhou.
She doesn't deal with Ruan Ying, but allows her to join her sister group, just to form a reputation in a high-end circle.
This circle is headed by her and Dongfang Xue, and their reputations will naturally increase. In the future, they will be the ones to choose the young talents in the entire Liuzhou.
Tang Yue was not yet twelve years old in the world of immortality, and monks lived long lives. She did not expect that girls from a family of monks, like women in the mortal world, would have to consider marriage at the age of fifteen or sixteen.
So she didn't think about it at all, and replied politely: "Immortal cultivators live a long life, and now I know the same with all my sisters. I'm very happy."
"Well, since you have joined, we can go and wait at the banquet now. I believe that the disciples from other sects and families have almost arrived as well."
Tang Yue followed the girls towards the garden where the banquet was held. She secretly asked Ruan Ying from behind, "What did I join?"
Ruan Ying curled her lips, "She started it herself. It's called the Wuji Mountain Celebrity Sisterhood. Only women from famous families can join. The membership criteria were set by her and Dongfang Xuejue."
Oh, it’s the circle of celebrity besties shown in the TV series. Wait, isn’t this kind of thing just used in novels to slap the heroine in the face?
After going round and round, she still has the elements of a cannon fodder and a vicious female supporting role. I will need to see if there are other strange women who have the qualities of a heroine.
The order of seating for the Shui family is that the juniors sit first, then the speakers and representatives of some small and medium-sized sects, and finally the heads and elders of the large sects sit together with the highly respected people of the Shui family.
The woman's seat was set up with several tents beside the stream in the garden, which fluttered in the wind, adding a bit of hazy beauty.
The men's seats were across the creek. They were in the open air with no tents. Mu Chongyun and Liu Hao sat at the same small table.
Okay, so the man and woman sit across the river so they can look at each other easily?
Just as she was thinking wildly, she heard Shui Wanqiu's voice, "Shui Rudong, you are sitting in the wrong place. Your seat is at the back."
