"Bixuwu?" Hearing the boatman say this name, Chen Xuan couldn't help but think of the secret code that Tang Bei and the boatman were just opposite: The twelve peaks of Wushan are all in Bixu.
It seems that the blessed land hidden deep in Wu Gorge is named after the word Bixu in this ancient poem.
Chen Xuan, Tang Qiuling took Tang Bei and Mi Ning jumped ashore together. The four of them saw a beautiful view of flowers on the shore at a glance, and the birds were singing and fragrance of flowers everywhere, making people feel like they had come to a fairyland.
And it is the cold winter season, and Wu Gorge is cold, but the temperature in this cave world is much higher than outside. There is no cold feeling after coming here, which is very magical.
"What good place is this? Have we really come to the fairyland?" Mi Ning looked at the surrounding environment in surprise.
She originally thought that a thousand-year-old family like the Mi family lived in a deep-gate courtyard with a strict atmosphere, so she was a little nervous along the way.
The beautiful scenery on the shore has greatly relieved her nervousness.
The same is true for Tang Bei. Seeing that the "Bixuwu" where the Mi family lives is not a terrible place, I feel much more relieved.
"Go quickly, the old butler is waiting for you." The boatman's tone was a little cold. After he finished speaking, he strode forward.
Chen Xuan and Tang Qiuling's family followed the boatman into Bixuwu. After walking for about three minutes, mansions with red walls and green tiles came into view.
If you look up, you can still see these ancient buildings, surrounded by a towering and majestic pavilion.
There is a plaque hanging on the pavilion with the three golden words "Bixuwu".
Tang Bei couldn't help but exclaim: "Is this the grandeur of a thousand-year-old family? It's indeed extraordinary."
"If I didn't know in advance, I would have thought I had come to a small ancient country in China." Mi Ning looked around, quite excited.
Tang Qiuling smiled and said, "Mom, you have such a good mentality and you think you are traveling here."
"Mom is fulfilling your grandfather's last wish. Today we can recognize our ancestors and return to our hometown. Can you be unhappy?" Mi Ning was happy. She was increasingly looking forward to seeing the elders of the Mi family.
I believe that among the elders of the Mi family, there must be one of the same generation as her father.
After Chen Xuan came to Bixuwu, he was not so expecting to see the Mi family. Instead, he was quite interested in the tallest pavilion in Bixuwu.
Since I have come here, I will definitely go up and take a look if I have the chance.
Maybe the secret method of the Mi family inheritance is placed in that pavilion.
After entering this complex, Chen Xuan finally saw the crowd.
In front of this stone road, several people in classical costumes walked over here.
After seeing Chen Xuan and Tang Qiuling's family, these people showed surprise and confusion in their eyes.
But when they saw the boatman leading the way, they immediately understood something.
When one of the men came over, he asked the boatman: "Are they the new students this year?"
"Yes." The boatman replied briefly.
"Didn't you say three people? How could one more come out?"
Hearing the man's second question, the boatman shook his head and said, "I don't know either. I'll take them to see the old housekeeper first."
The man nodded and walked past Chen Xuan and Tang Qiuling with several other people.
When these people walked over, they took a look at Chen Xuan more.
From their eyes, Chen Xuan saw a hint of indifference and repulsion.
However, Chen Xuan didn't care. He didn't look back and followed the boatman into a mansion made of carved railings and jade.
Walking into the lobby of the mansion, Chen Xuan looked at it and saw a middle-aged man about fifty years old sitting on a chair in the lobby.
This middle-aged man was wearing a black robe and had a serious face. He looked like a man with an old-fashioned personality.
"Have you brought it?" the middle-aged man spoke, his voice a little low.
The boatman replied respectfully: "Yes, the old housekeeper."
Then, the boatman turned his head and looked at Chen Xuan and the other four, urging him: "Come on, come forward and see the old housekeeper!"
Tang Bei and Mi Ning had heard before that the Mi family was strict and had obvious seniority, but they did not expect that an old housekeeper would be so arrogant.
The couple is doing a prosperous business outside and is respected by many people. When they come here, they have to take the initiative to greet an old housekeeper. They are a little uncomfortable for a while, so they don't step forward.
Not to mention Chen Xuan and Tang Qiuling, why is the butler of the Mi family so arrogant?
"Hmph." The old housekeeper patted the armrest of the Grand Master's chair heavily and said in a deep voice, "You just returned to our home and didn't follow any rules. How can you pay homage to the head of the family later?"
Chen Xuan originally wanted to help Tang Qiuling fight back, but at this time Tang Bei spoke: "Hello, old butler, I am Mi Ning's husband Tang Bei. Today we will take our daughter Qiuling back to our family and recognize our ancestors. Please take us.
Go and meet the head of the family.”
For the sake of his daughter's future, Tang Bei decided to lower his posture.
After all, this is the territory of the Mi family. No matter how big he is in business outside, how can he compete with a thousand-year-old family?
This old housekeeper may not have a high status in Mi's family, but when he is outside, he must be a person who is stubborn. If you can not offend him, don't offend him.
Seeing Tang Bei say this, the old butler's expression relaxed a little: "Tang Bei, your family is here in Hanfu, and they are quite considerate, but now the head of the family is busy with other things. I don't have time to see you, so I will arrange accommodation for you first."
"I'm here to help the old housekeeper." Tang Bei thanked.
The old butler stood up from the Grand Master's chair, walked to Chen Xuan and the other two, looked Tang Qiuling carefully, and then praised: "Tang Bei, you gave birth to a good daughter. If you didn't have your daughter, you would never be qualified for the rest of your life.
Return to our family.”
"Yes, yes, fortunately my daughter is lucky." Tang Bei could only try his best to laugh and talk to the old housekeeper.
Because the old butler approached him, the oppression brought him too strong, which forced him to further lower his posture.
Mi Ning felt a little uncomfortable. This old housekeeper obviously saw that their family had just entered the door, so he wanted to give them a warning.
At this moment, the person was under the eaves and had to bow his head. For the sake of his daughter, Mi Ning could only squeeze out a smile.
Then, the old butler's eyes shifted from Tang Qiuling to Chen Xuan's face.
After seeing Chen Xuan, he frowned slightly: "The elders who compiled the genealogy of our Mi family did not say that there are four of you. Who is this kid?"
The old butler knew that Tang Qiuling had a younger brother named Tang Dongdong, but the young man in front of him was obviously not.
"He is my boyfriend, and he is also my family." Tang Qiuling immediately took Chen Xuan's arm.
"Boyfriend?" When the old housekeeper heard this, his brows frowned even more, "That is to say, he is a person from the secular world?"
"My boyfriend is also an ancient martial artist, and his level is higher than mine." Tang Qiuling explained.
Chen Xuan was about to speak, but Tang Bei took the lead: "Old butler, the little girl's boyfriend Chen Xuan also has the talent for ancient martial arts. I hope the Mi family can accept him."
