Although Wang Wanghai is a trouble-making young man, he does not dare to overstep the mark in the matter of ancestral system and family reputation.
However, abiding by the rules means abiding by the rules. Naturally, he was reluctant to shout at this "Fourth Grandpa" and was full of grievances.
"Shi Hai." Wang Shouzhe looked at him with "loving" eyes, patted his shoulder and said, "You are not old, but your cultivation is solid, and your future is limitless~~~ However, no matter how talented you are,
Well, you have to calm down and practice well."
Wang Shouzhe is forty years old this year. His cultivation has already reached the sixth level of the Lingtai Realm, and he is gradually advancing towards the later stage of the Lingtai Realm. Especially after his recent bloodline surge, the power of his bloodline has awakened to the third level of peak, which is far away from the spirit body.
It's just a thin line.
Therefore, in addition to his mature temperament, his appearance is not much different from that of a young man in his twenties. He is completely like a peer of the royal family.
Such a weird style of painting made Royal Family Haydn feel his energy and blood rising, and he had a strong impulse to punch Wang Shouzhe.
However, elders from the same clan are also elders.
I will endure!
The corner of Wang Wangwanghai's mouth twitched, and he forced out an awkward smile: "Thank you 'Fourth Grandpa' for your praise and encouragement. I will definitely keep it in my heart."
"When we first met, your fourth grandfather didn't bring anything good." Wang Shouzhe smiled, thought about putting a touch on the storage ring, took out a red envelope and stuffed it into the hands of the royal family, "Let's just be more cliché, if you like it,
Just buy some for yourself."
Rumble!
The royal family was so shocked that they were scorched on the outside and tender on the inside. They kept shouting in their hearts: Will this young master be short of money? Does this young master look like a person who is short of money?
However, his biological father was watching him from the side. No matter how brave he was, he would not dare to make a mistake. He could only accept the red envelope with a blushing face and pretend to be happy: "Thank you, Fourth Grandpa, for this gift.
"
He had already known before that the Changning Wang family was a newly promoted seventh-grade family. It was a small and poor family, with an annual income of only one or two hundred thousand. After deducting the family expenses, there was only enough left.
How much dry gold?
This thin golden ticket is worth at most a hundred thousand gold. He is a dignified young master of the Monan Wang family, a highly regarded young genius in the family, and a young master who is loved by his ancestors. He lacks this hundred.
Come for gold?
Wang Zonghao, the head of the family on the side, saw his youngest son holding back his blushing face and looking aggrieved. Instead of being unhappy, he felt quite pleased.
This kid has always been lawless. How can he control his temper today? He has made some progress~~~
Wang Shouzhe was just teasing the genius of the family at will, not deliberately looking for trouble. He stopped immediately and turned to talk formally with Wang Zonghao, the head of the Monan Wang family.
At the same time, he introduced Longyan Patriarch, Qian Xuehan, and the two elders of the Qian family.
After a warm greeting.
Wang Zonghao cupped his hands with a serious face and said: "The head of the Shouzhe family and the ancestor Longyan are my clan members of the Wang family in Monan. Now that we have come to Monan County, why can't we stay at home? I have sent people to clean up the places above.
The house is waiting for two elders of the clan to move in. Fourth uncle must not refuse."
What he said makes sense.
This is also the etiquette that should be followed when interacting with relatives, otherwise, it will be easy to get offended.
In this regard, Wang Shouzhe could not refuse: "In that case, I will trouble the head of the Zong Hao family."
Wang Zonghao came here because he was afraid of the chaos coming from the royal family. Now that he had finished what he needed to do, he left with an excuse after a few simple greetings. He entrusted Wang Shouzhe to the royal family and asked him to be sure to invite Wang Shouzhe after the banquet.
Several people went to stay at the Wang family's main residence in Monan and arranged a reception banquet tomorrow.
Poor Wang Wanghai was left beside Wang Shouzhe.
After finally finishing this tortured meal, he couldn't wait to make arrangements and respectfully welcomed Wang Shouzhe and others back to the main house.
The next day.
At noon, the Monan Wang family held a reception banquet. However, those who participated in this reception banquet were the head of the family, Wang Zonghao, an elder from the Heavenly Realm of the "Shou" generation, and a Heavenly Realm of the "Ding" generation.
The elders, and the four royal family members, the youngest son of the head of the family.
After meeting the elder of the "Shou" generation, Wang Shouzhe finally understood why the Monan Wang family's seniority was so low. The Monan Wang family's "Shou" generation is now generally between one hundred years old and
Between three hundred years old.
Even the "Zong" generation is no longer young, the "Shi" generation also has "old people" who are more than two hundred years old, and then there are the "An" generation, the "Ning" generation, and the "Fu" generation.
, "宝" character generation and so on...the Monan Wang family already has all the character rankings that the Changning Wang family has not yet had time to use.
Even the youngest member of their clan has been ranked in the "Yi" generation!
Under such circumstances, any person from the Changning Wang family must be an ancestor of the Monan Wang family.
However, this situation is actually very normal. The Monan Wang family has been passed down for a long time, and the generation gap between each lineage will only become wider and wider. From this point of view, the royal family is not yet senior among the Monan Wang family.
Low!
After a process of getting married according to the rules of the family, Wang Zonghao invited Wang Shouzhe to stay in Monan for a while and appreciate the scenery of Monan. His legitimate son Wang Wanghai entertained him throughout the whole journey.
Afterwards, he made an excuse and left with the elders.
Throughout the whole process, he could not be said to be too cold, but he could not be said to be very warm. He always acted politely and was completely fulfilling the due etiquette.
With Wang Shouzhe's character, he would naturally not blame the Monan Wang family. This is because even the current Longzuo Wang family has very little contact with the Monan Wang family, let alone the smaller branch of the Changning Wang family.
Their feelings for each other are very unfamiliar, and there is a large class gap, so naturally they cannot become warm.
If the Monan Wang family had not been responsible for the failure to welcome him before, it is impossible to say that even at this reception banquet, Wang Zonghao would only come to go through the motions, and the receptionist who was in charge of the reception was an elder from the Heavenly Realm.
As the clan leader, Wang Zonghao only needs to wait until Wang Shouzhe and others leave to come forward again and prepare a gift for the Wang family in Changning. This is considered to be the etiquette that should be expected among members of the same clan.
This is why Wang Shouzhe didn't want to alarm the Monan Wang family this time.
As far as the relationship, feelings, and family levels between the two parties were concerned, it was just a formality. Wang Shouzhe couldn't even see the ancestor of the Zifu of the Monan Wang family, so there was no point in notifying him.
…
Only the poor Wang Guanghai was captured by his father and served as the receptionist and guide for the Changning Wang family during their stay in Monan.
The next morning.
Full of reluctance, he ran outside the yard where Wang Shouzhe temporarily lived and pretended to invite him to take a walk in the city. He secretly prayed in his heart that it would be best if Wang Shouzhe refused, so that he would save trouble.
The two thousand gold that his father left him for entertainment expenses can be used to line his own pocket. Two thousand gold is a considerable sum of money for him.
"Shi Hai, thank you for getting up early in the morning to receive me." Wang Shouzhe said with a smile, "Originally, I was tired from the journey and wanted to rest for a few days. But I think of Shi Hai with all your heart and I can't bear to live up to it. So, here we go. Let’s go shopping with you.”
The royal family couldn't breathe back, and rolled his eyes in his heart, who can't bear to let you down? If you let me down, feel free to let me down, don't be soft-hearted.
Unfortunately, Wang Shouzhe seemed to be in a good mood, and headed towards the main entrance of the main house with the royal family. Behind him, more than ten feet away, followed like a shadow a humanoid puppet "Wang Shouzhe". He was covered in a black robe, so he couldn't see clearly. Rong, the footsteps are silent and very low-key.
"Is this a puppet guard?" Wang Wanghai asked curiously, "Such a guard puppet of the Lingtai realm is worth as much as a magic weapon. You are really willing to buy this useless thing." He murmured in his heart, Show off!
The Lingtai realm puppet guard can serve as the mainstay in a ninth-grade family. However, in the eyes of the Zifu family, this thing is just useless, and its practicality is far inferior to that of a low-grade magic weapon.
After all, when you reach the fifth-grade Zi Mansion, it is almost routine to have Lingtai realm monks in your family. Unless your qualifications are too weak, or you are born a bastard and don't work hard. But most of the normal Wang family's bloodline is in the Lingtai realm.
Back then, it was Long Wuji who could see through the puppet "Wang Shouzhu" at a glance. How could he get a glimpse of his true intentions with the help of the royal family?
"In other words, I just picked it up. If Xiu Xiu can use it, I will use it first." Wang Shouzhe said with a nonchalant smile, "Our Changning Wang family is only in the seventh rank, so we are quite satisfied with the use of this puppet guard."
Wang Wanghai curled his lips and said no more.
However, when the two of them walked out, they met some young people who were going to study or practice martial arts. As soon as they saw the royal family, their expressions changed drastically and they dispersed, as if they had encountered some incredible demon king.
There was even a frail and skinny little girl who had no time to escape. Her legs gave way and she fell to the ground. She was so frightened that she cried loudly: "Grandpa Demon King, don't eat peaches, peaches are so scary."
Wang Shouzhe twitched the corner of his mouth and looked at Wang Wanghai with strange eyes. What kind of existence is this kid? How can a group of children be so scared?
Unjustly accused!
Unjustly accused~
Wang Wanghai almost vomited blood. He usually had a bad temper and beat up a few juniors. It was a rumor that he could eat people! What's more, he didn't recognize this little girl who was like a bean sprout at all.
The Monan Wang family was very big, with a large number of people, and it was impossible for the royal family to recognize every child. The little girl cried so much that he became irritated. Normally, she would have just waved her butt and left.
However, the presence of "elders" from other clansmen prevented unfavorable rumors from spreading about the Monan Wang family. Wang Wanghai had the courage to coax the little girl, but as expected, the little girl cried even more miserably.
This made him helpless. He took out a red envelope from his arms and gave it to the girl: "Okay, okay, your Grandpa Shihai will apologize to you. This red envelope can be regarded as an apology."
That red envelope was given to me by Wang Shouzhe the day before yesterday.
After he put it on his body, he forgot about it and did not take it apart to take a look. He thought that it would only cost a hundred thousand gold anyway, so he used it to help the younger generation solve the problem.
Seeing this scene, Wang Shouzhe twitched the corner of his mouth and glanced at Wang Wanghai with some sympathy.
The little girl was really weird. As soon as she got the red envelope, she held on tightly and stopped crying and making trouble. She wiped away her tears and said with snotty eyes: "Thank you, Grandpa Demon King. Grandpa Demon King is a good man."
"What's your name?" Wang Wanghai twitched the corner of her mouth, pretending to be amiable, and touched her head.
"My name is Wang Meitao. Grandpa Demon King can just call me Tao'er." Wang Meitao couldn't hold back and began to open the red envelope. As soon as she opened a corner, a bright purple color was revealed inside.
She suddenly pulled out the golden ticket inside, her big eyes widened: "Grandpa Demon King, this, why is the color of this golden ticket purple? Grandpa Demon King, are you lying to me?"
"What?" Wang Guanghai glared at him. It didn't matter if he didn't glare, but he almost fainted.
This, this, this...
Isn’t this the famous Purple Gold Ticket?
As the direct descendant of a fifth-grade family, he still has some discernment. He could tell at a glance that it was an extremely precious purple gold ticket, which was paper made from purple blood dragon spirit wood through a special technique.
It is very durable, fireproof and waterproof, and will not corrode for thousands of years.
And it usually represents huge wealth. The value of a purple gold ticket is one hundred thousand gold.
"Four, four..." Wang Guanghai swallowed his saliva, turned back and looked at Wang Shouzhe longingly, "Then, is that true?"
"What Shi Hai said is wrong." Wang Shouzhe said with a serious face, "How can I, the dignified head of the Ning Wang family, use fake gold tickets to give out red envelopes? Shi Hai, are you looking down on your fourth grandfather?"
"No, no, no...ah~" Wang Wanghai was shocked and distressed. He fell to the ground, his eyes filled with endless regret, "One hundred thousand gold, this is one hundred thousand gold. I, I He actually gave it to a shabby girl?"
The Monan Wang family is also a wealthy and powerful family, and Wang Guanghai is a young prodigy from the direct lineage, and is basically at the top of the family's training sequence. The family spends 20,000 to 30,000 gold on him a year.
But those are the cultivation resources provided by the family... With the status of the royal family, it is good to get two to three thousand gold as pocket money every year. He has to rely on his mother to secretly support him to squander it.
One hundred thousand dry gold...
That was his pocket money for decades.
In an instant, Wang Guanghai looked at the little girl eagerly: "Meitao, can your purple gold ticket..."
"Woo!"
Wang Meitao threw herself into Wang Guanghai's arms, "Grandpa Thirty-Nine, wuwu~ People say you are the big devil and a bad guy. Tao'er has always misunderstood you. Oh~~ It turns out that Grandpa Thirty-nine is the best in the world. Grandpa~~ Tao'er will definitely work hard and live up to Grandpa Thirty-nine's expectations."
"Wow~"
Wang Wanghai couldn't control it anymore and burst into tears. God gave him a chance to make a fortune, but he was so miserable.
"Fourth Grandpa, you sent such a big red envelope... wuwu, what's wrong..." Wang Guanghai's heart was broken.
"Uh-huh..." The corner of Wang Shouzhe's mouth twitched twice. Who said this boy is too pretentious... He, Wang Shouzhe, sent a red envelope to the young prodigy of the clan family. How could he be stingy?
Besides, this kind of red envelope can be profitable. Speaking of geniuses, the younger generation of the Wang family has more geniuses...
There were many secretly onlookers around, and this incident suddenly spread out like the wind. It was said that the elders from Changning sent a purple gold ticket red envelope to Young Master Thirty-Nine.
The thirty-nine young master conveniently gave it to his junior Wang Meitao!!
As this gust of wind blows out, no matter how shameless Wang Wanghai is, he will never come back.
"Shi Hai, it's getting late, I still have to go shopping." Wang Shouzhe smiled and patted his shoulder, and said kindly, "Let's go, let's take your fourth grandfather to see the elegance of Monan County."
"It's...Fourth Grandpa."
After all, Wang Wanghai received the purple gold ticket red envelope. Although he gave it away, he still had to accept the love, right? Otherwise, he would be too ignorant.
Although his heart was broken, his attitude towards Wang Shouzhe suddenly became much more respectful.
Then most of the day passed.
He took Wang Shouzhe to wander around Monan County City, and his mood gradually improved. After all, he was still a prodigy of his direct lineage, and the family's future resources were indispensable to him.
The 100,000 gold was not given to outsiders, and the meat was rotten in the own pot anyway.
"Fourth Grandpa." Wang Guanghai's eyes narrowed and he said with a low voice, "It's getting late in the evening, and some of the scenic spots in Monan County are just like that. Why not... I'll take Fourth Grandpa there while the night is approaching." Let’s go and have fun on the Yanfang of Dongchacha Lake?”
"Yanfang?" Wang Shouzhe frowned slightly, "It doesn't sound like a serious place."
"Of course it's not serious. What a boring place to be serious." Wang Wanghai said with bright eyes, "There are eighty-one Yanfang boats on Dongchacha Lake, and the most noble one is the Tianyan boat of 'Fairy Tianyan'.
Fourth Grandpa, do you know that Fairy Tianyan was born as a genius, and she achieved the realm of heaven and human at the age of more than eighty years old."
Wang Shouzhe frowned and said in disbelief: "Shi Hai, don't talk nonsense. The genius is so noble, how can he devote himself to that kind of profession? Apart from other things, even if he goes to the academy, he is still a direct descendant."
"That's not true. Otherwise, how could she be called a fairy? I don't know why she ended up here." Wang Guanghai said more and more excitedly, "Fourth Grandpa knows that there are countless young and promising children from aristocratic families in Monan County who want to meet the fairy.
Is it difficult to fulfill your long-cherished wish?"
See him like this.
Wang Shouzhe reminded "kindly": "Seeing that you are not sad anymore makes me feel relieved. Shi Hai, you have a good attitude. You lost a purple gold ticket in the morning, and now you have let it go. Such an open-minded attitude is a role model for monks."
.”
puff!
Wang Wanghai almost spurted out a mouthful of blood. Thank you so much, Grandpa Fourth, for your reminder. I had just calmed down a bit, and you stabbed me again. When I thought of that purple gold ticket, Wang Wanghai wanted to cry again...
"Yianfang was so popular that day, so the price must not be cheap. Is your entertainment fee enough, Shi Hai?" Wang Shouzhe stabbed him in the heart again and said, "I didn't expect that Shi Hai, you respect me so much that you are prepared to pay for the dinner out of your own pocket.
What?"
"Fourth Grandpa, why do you have to be so realistic... I just want to see something... I've never been there before." Wang Guanghai's heart was bleeding. The worst is, we won't go.
"Forget it, I'm just teasing you." Wang Shouzhe said with a smile, "Since you want to go and see it, Fourth Grandpa will go with you."
"Thank you so much, Fourth Grandpa." Wang Wanghai raised his brows with joy and held up his hands, "I have wanted to see Fairy Tianyan for a long time, but I don't have enough money, and secondly, I am afraid that my father will break my legs. With Fourth Grandpa here,
I feel relieved."
Unknowingly, it became more and more comfortable for the royal family to call Fourth Grandpa, and their resistance gradually dissipated.
Suddenly.
At this moment.
A arrogant and nice woman's voice sounded: "The royal family is really full of enemies. Today, I will beat you to death for my good sister."
"Oh no, it's Huangfu Feifei!"
Huangfu? Wang Shouzhe was also slightly startled. Monan Huangfu's family... I haven't heard this name for a long time.
