The parents went upstairs to take a lunch break. The three couples of the Chao family took their two children and Uncle Hu, Fang’s mother, and others who came downstairs to clean up the hall after dinner carried gifts upstairs to Xiaofentuanzi’s bedroom. Those gifts were all given by guests.
Xiao Lele's birthday gift is naturally decided by Xiao Lele himself.
Fang's mother and others were also very happy. They ran several times to carry all the gifts upstairs, then tidied up the tables and chairs, and went to the kitchen to wash the dishes. The chef gave him a portion of braised pork and preserved eggs, and smiled back at him.
He would not take good things to the hotel, and he would definitely get them all robbed when he took them to work.
The people from the Guwu Guxiu family who left the Chao family left the villa and went their separate ways. Some acquaintances met to find a quiet place to drink tea and reminisce about the past. Those who were not particularly close friends and relatives went back to their respective places, and some set off immediately.
Go home, some stay in Beijing temporarily.
The Immortal Master of Penglai followed the Master of the Xuan family to the backyard of the Xuanjia teahouse. The Xuanjia teahouse is equivalent to the reverse seat in the front of the courtyard, and behind it is the Xuanjia's other courtyard in Beijing. Each building is a two-story small courtyard, and the upper hall is set up according to ancient rituals.
.
The head of the Xuan family invited his aunt to the hall of the upper room, where he and his nephew knelt formally to pay homage to their elders. They sat down respectively and asked about her health.
The surname of Penglai Xiandao is Yu, and the maiden name is Yu Ruxian. She is the eldest daughter of the former island owner. Her younger sister Yu Ruyan met Xuanyuan Wushang when they went out to gain experience. The two fell in love and got married. At first, no one knew about it until
When the ancient martial arts sect was in turmoil and the Xuanyuan family was in deep trouble, Penglai Immortal Island sent its disciples out of the island to help, thus shocking the ancient cultivating world.
Although Penglai Immortal Lord looks like a pretty flower and has a face like a girl, he is actually over one hundred and seventy years old. It is not uncommon in the ancient world of cultivation to live to be one hundred twenty or thirty years old. Those who are over one hundred and fifty years old are considered rare. One hundred sixty or seventy years old
The ancient cultivators are truly immortals.
The Master of Yudao Island talked about trivial matters with the younger generations of his sister's family, and asked his great-nephew and grandson who were standing beside him in a gentle voice: "Xiao Chenbei, how deep is your friendship with the girl from the Immortal Medical Sect?"
"Great aunt, Chen Bei doesn't dare to bully me. My friendship with the little beauty is slightly better than that of other young descendants from the Guxiu family, but it's not enough to be called close friends." Young Master Xuan wanted to scratch the wall, but Little Beauty
The beauty is not the kind of melon that gets dizzy when coaxed casually. She has a firm belief in her heart that things are neither right nor wrong, and she will not be easily swayed by others.
"It's good to have a deeper friendship than others. Is it easy to talk to the little girl? Are there any thresholds set for those who seek medical treatment?" Master Yudao asked in a soft voice, his aura so restrained that no one could even think of her.
It has the power to lift mountains.
"The little beauty is easy to talk to when she is in a good mood, but hard to talk to when she is in a bad mood. She is extremely kind and respectful to the elderly. According to what Chen Bei has seen, she has never been troublesome to patients. Generally speaking, if the medical fee is included
If there are things that little beauties like, there’s basically no problem.”
"What's your favorite thing about little girls?"
"It's hard for Chen Bei to say. He guesses that he doesn't care much about common things like gold and silver, but is interested in rare herbs and rare treasures that can be used as medicine. Chen Bei saw with his own eyes that the little beauty's eyes went crazy when she saw the precious medicinal materials.
Liang, nothing else is known.”
"The congratulatory gift I gave you this time is a peacock feather cloak, nineteen top-quality Eastern beads, including two sets of gem-inlaid hairpins, hairpins, steps, earrings, jade bracelets, thousand-year-old sandalwood beads, and agarwood.
A string of wooden beads, a string of red coral beads, a string of emerald beads, and a set of six gui, huang, zhang, bi, cong, and amber. Doesn’t it seem like a light gift and not enough to make the little girl look at him differently?"
When the head of the Xuan family heard what the elders reported as a congratulatory gift, his eyes twitched slightly and he hesitated before asking: "Auntie, is the peacock feather cloak you gave me the hundred-year-old peacock feather cloak?"
"Yes, ordinary peacock feathers can't be used well, and only hundred-year-old peacock feathers can barely make it to the stage."
"My grandson thinks that my aunt's congratulatory gift is already a high-quality gift, enough to impress the little girl." The head of the Xuan family couldn't help but twitch his eyes. The peacock feather cloak is one of the precious feathers of Penglai Fairy Island, and it is a century-old peacock's.
The tail feathers are woven with gold and silver threads.
As we all know, the lifespan of a peacock is only about ten years, and the limit is 20-25 years in a breeding environment. The lifespan of peacocks on Penglai Island is much longer than that of other places, and can live for about fifty years, while peacocks that live for a hundred years
It is a rare one in a thousand years.
Each disciple of Penglai Immortal Island has a peacock feather coat, and there are only three feather coats woven by peacocks over a hundred years old, a cloak, a women's skirt, and a men's robe. Clothes have always been inherited from the island.
It is passed down from generation to generation by the island owners.
Generally, peacock feathers will burn when exposed to fire. The precious features of hundred-year-old peacock feathers are waterproof and snowproof, and they are not too afraid of fire. Generally speaking, they will not burn when lit with fire. If more than half of the feathers are thrown into the fire,
Within minutes, it can naturally burn.
"When I came here, I didn't know that the little girl liked medicinal materials. I thought it was the little girl Fangchen, so I didn't expect to bring rare and rare herbs as a gift. I should bring thousand-year-old ginseng, Ganoderma lucidum and other medicinal materials, and wait for the little girl's birthday before adding more.
Find a time to send it to me, and tell me not to let the little girl see me alone."
"As you say, goose feathers are sent from thousands of miles away. The gift is light but the friendship is heavy. Besides, the gift given by my great-aunt is not light. I believe the little beauty will meet you. Don't worry. When the little beauty comes back, Chen Bei will shamelessly go to the little beauty to make an appointment. It's just that
Great aunt, if the little beauty is angry and pricks me with a needle, you must remember to bring some medicinal materials to redeem me. I don’t want to get a needle. Although being pricked with acupuncture is beneficial, it feels so shameful."
Master Jade Island burst into laughter immediately, and Master Xuan couldn't help but smile and opened his eyes: "Chen Bei was pricked with a needle by a little girl?"
"Well, the little beauty said that there was something I didn't understand, so she gave me a needle. After the needle, I felt very comfortable. During the practice, the meridians and Qi flowed more smoothly. I always think about the expression on the little beauty's face when she pricked me with the needle.
I can't help but get chills on my back." Mr. Xuan held his face in his hands: "Great-aunt, do you know that when the little beauty stabbed my face and head with needles, she pricked me into a cactus. I almost thought I was
This handsome face cannot be saved, but it made me so scared."
"Oh, you kid got an advantage and acted like a good boy. When I see the little girl, I will definitely suggest that the little girl stab you again. Let me see how handsome Xiao Chenbei looks like when he is tied into a cactus."
"Great-aunt, look at how delicate and handsome my face is. Although it is far less than one-tenth of the beauty of you and my great-grandmother, I have inherited a little bit of your and my great-grandmother's beauty.
Are you willing to let me get an injection?"
"You have such a sweet mouth, why can't you be a girl? If you are a girl, I will take her back to the island to plant flowers and grass with you."
"Great-aunt, if we have girls in our family, you would like to take one, two or three or five of them back to Fairy Island to accompany you to relieve your boredom. There are also boys who are as beautiful as me. You can also take them to Fairy Island at home.
Brothers and sisters..."
Mr. Xuan immediately helped the brothers and sisters in the family advertise, explaining one by one who had the mildest temper, who was the naughtiest, and who had the advantages.
There was a sweet-tongued Xiao Chenbei who was making the elders happy. The head of the Xuan family was very relaxed, because there was a sweet-tongued and filial young boy who said he would cook a specialty dish for himself to try. The Penglai fairy master stayed as a guest and decided to serve in the Xuan family.
Stay overnight and wait until tomorrow to return to the Taoist temple.
Tantai Mingguang returned to Beijing with his two grandsons and did not stay. He packed up his luggage and returned to his hometown. At that time, Tantai Xunhuan was not in good health and studied at home. His student status was still in school and he had to take exams every year. Now he is five years old.
In late October, the junior high school entrance examination was about to take place, and Tantai Xunhuan had to go back to his hometown to prepare for the entrance examination.
Shou Bo stayed in the capital to prepare for contact with the little girl, so as not to have no one in charge and not know how to deal with anything.
When the head of the Nalan family came to Beijing, he did not live in the Feng family. Instead, he stayed in a temple in the west of the city as a tourist. Firstly, for peace of mind, and secondly, he hoped that the little girl would not confuse the Nalan family with the Feng family.
The temple is prosperous and there are many tourists during the day. Fortunately, the monks' quarters are a place where tourists stop and are not disturbed. Returning to the courtyard, the head of the Nalan family sat down by the stone bench under the tree in the courtyard. The guards who stayed in the temple served tea.
Stand beside the owner of the house.
The Fourth Shao Lan and the Seventh Shao Lan had transferred to the temple before the head of the family came to Beijing, and the guest rooms in the temple were booked by them. When they came back, they stood beside the head of the house, not daring to act recklessly.
The head of the Nalan family drank two cups of tea in a row, his brows were furrowed, and he added a third cup of tea, holding a white porcelain cup in his hand. After thinking for a long time, he spoke for the first time after coming back: "Fourth brother, are you sure?
Have you really never done anything to offend the little girl?"
"Master, Qingxi has not offended the little girl. It is true that the young master of the Feng family has an old grudge with the little girl. He did not understand the rules of Sanweixuan and caused trouble in the Xuanyuan restaurant. I did not stop him, and afterwards I helped the young master of the Feng family to relieve his acupuncture points.
." Fourth Young Master Lan did not dare to go against the rules and told the truth.
"Young Master Xuanyuan didn't help someone to remove his acupuncture points. He must have wanted to punish the Feng family's young master and make him stand. You didn't stop the people who followed you from bullying others and you still helped to remove their acupuncture points. Not to mention her, even I wouldn't do it to you.
The color looks good." The head of the Nalan family turned his head slightly and looked at his son, somewhat hating that iron could not become steel: "Forget it, it is useless to talk about it now. You should think twice before doing anything. From now on, everything in the capital will be decided by Lao Qi.
Take responsibility, Lao Qi. The elders of the family have high hopes for your trip. You should be smarter and find a way to mend the rift between the Nalan family and the little girl. Don’t let the little girl have a negative relationship with the Nalan family and the Zhou Shaozhong family of the Xuan family.
We treat them all as friends, and at least I hope that the little girl can treat Nalan and other ancient martial arts clans like the successors of Mantis Fist as equals."
Lan Qishao was not in a good condition, so he was asked to clean up the mess? Can he run away? He didn't want to take the hot potato, but he couldn't disobey the order of the family leader, so he had to bite the bullet and respectfully accept the order: "Qinghu will do its best to
for."
Fourth Young Master Lan lowered his head slightly. No matter how depressed he was, he had nowhere to complain. It was just a momentary mistake on his part, but who would have thought that it would cause the Nalan family to be in such a passive situation.
Lan Qi expressed his position, and the head of the Nalan family was very satisfied and let the young man do his own thing. He went back to the monk's room to meditate at noon.
There was no need to wait around the master of the house. Fourth Young Master Lan went out for a walk and wandered around the temple. He looked at all kinds of tourists and felt irritated. He did not succeed in making friends with the immortal doctor, but instead ended up with him because of small mistakes.
What's more serious is that he was rejected by the Immortal Medicine Sect, and the family sent Lao Qi to Beijing.
Lao Qi is also a leader among his direct descendants, and is one of the candidates for the next head of the family. Lao Qi has never wanted to compete, but who can guarantee that Lao Qi is really non-competitive, instead of appearing to be non-competitive?
The arrival of Lao Qi is tantamount to the family's high hopes for him. If Lao Qi successfully completes the family's mission, then the possibility of Lao Qi being appointed as the next heir will increase from the original 50% to 80%.
Fourth Young Master Lan was depressed. He walked around a few times and returned to the monk's room to meditate. If he wanted to seize the position of the head of the family, his cultivation was also very important and could not be neglected.
The Jiang family has a separate courtyard in Beijing, so the head of the Jiang family was one of the first people to return to his own territory. After returning to the courtyard, he and his nephew returned to the upper room. The guards served tea, and the two nephews slowly drank tea.
.
After drinking a cup of fragrant tea, the owner of the Jiang family smiled slightly: "I feel that the famous tea in our hometown is not as good as the tea prepared by the little girl. Sanlang is lucky enough to often drink the tea from the little girl's house."
Young Master Jiang looked at his uncle who was looking at him with a faint smile, and silently shed a drop of cold sweat: "Uncle, have you made some crooked ideas again?"
"I just envy you for your good taste. Do you think your uncle is the kind of person who always makes wrong ideas?" The smile between the Jiang family leader's brows and eyes deepened, but there was a serious expression on his face.
"When uncle shows some kind of fox-like smile, it basically means that he is thinking about some messy things." Young Master Jiang did not give his uncle face. The brothers knew their uncle too well, and whenever they saw the uncle of the family showing some kind of smile,
, they cheered up.
"This time is an exception. I just saw you finally eating meat at noon, and I felt relieved."
“The braised pork made with the special braised soup made by the little beauty is delicious.”
"Oh, you said it yourself, so I won't ask you how you feel about eating meat. I can rest assured that you are not a partial eclipse. Did the little girl say whether the medicinal materials your two brothers have found are enough? Do we need to find other medicinal materials?
?”
"The little beauty didn't ask us to look for other medicinal materials. She was very happy that we helped her find Roucongrong. I told the little beauty that if there are any medicinal materials that are specialties in our hometown, don't be polite if you need them and let our family find them.
."
"That's good. The little girl has a good relationship with you. With you in the capital, my elders and I can rest assured. You just need to stay in the capital. Your father and I will handle matters at home. Elders, you don't have to worry."
"Have you found the rip-off guy?"
"We...know in our hearts that the matter may not only be as simple as the dispute between our family, but may also involve the entire ancient martial arts world. It is not appropriate to tell you juniors for the time being, so as not to alert the snake, you brothers will pretend that you don't know anything.
."
"I know."
The nephew's calm temperament made the Jiang family leader feel relieved. He repeated the instructions of his elders, and then only talked about trivial matters in daily life. After chatting for two hours, he went to the airport to take a flight home.
It was not just the head of the Jiang family who left Beijing that day, the head of the Hua family, the head of the Ji family, the head of the Si family, the head of the Chen family, and the elders of the Huo family all only stayed briefly at their respective places of stay before setting off.
