It is the season of spring tea harvest, and the villagers of Xiaoling Mountain rush to pick tea in the early morning. The specialty Xiaoling tea here has a distinctive richness and sweetness, and even a slight bitterness is quite refreshing, and the brewed tea is clear and bright.
Therefore, this kind of Xiaoling tea sells very well in the neighboring town, and even many people from further afield come to buy Xiaoling tea.
Rong Bancheng is a native of Xiaolingshan. He is a little smarter than the villagers in the same village who only know how to grow tea, pick tea and sell them. Therefore, he made a fortune by buying tea from the same village and selling it outside, and became a big family in the village.
In the early years, Rong Bancheng picked up a baby boy at the gate of the village and brought him back. He raised him and named him Rong Qing. He loves this child very much. For the sake of this child, he didn't even know that he was marrying a woman, but just took a roommate.
Originally, the life of the family was considered happy and complete, but it is a pity...
"Hey, isn't this the young master of the Rong family! He actually came to pick tea with us poor people! He didn't even bring a servant with him. Can he endure such hardship?"
"What young master? The Rong family is bankrupt, and his father's housekeeper took all the money and ran away with the gardener. How can he have the capital to be a young master?"
"Don't say that! They have a good marriage! I heard that the young master of the Liu family was discovered by the immortal master of the Lingyun sect on the mountain, and he is going to take him back and take him as an apprentice! He is expected to become an immortal master in the future!"
"Then isn't this down-and-out young master well-developed? I heard that the other half of the immortal teacher called... ah, called Daoist! Hearing this name, I feel very stylish!"
"That's only because Rong Qing has this blessing! The Taoist companions of other immortal masters are all immortal masters, how can he be a mortal? Yesterday, Mr. Liu sent someone to Rong's house to spread the word. The marriage contract was annulled. All the tokens of engagement have been returned!"
"Hey! I've heard about this too, and my family saw it with my own eyes! It's right in front of Rong's house, Mr. Liu's butler is really fierce! He just threw the token at the gate, and it was the fault of Rong Bancheng yesterday. If you're not at home, you'll definitely be angry! If you say that the Liu family was promoted by the Rong family, it's what it is today, but when they saw the Rong family's downfall, they fell into trouble and did so ruthlessly, hey!" "Come on! How many good faults do these rich old masters have? At the beginning, I thought about taking tea from us to sell for money, but I didn’t think about giving us much benefit. The worst thing to say is that dog eats dog. No one deserves sympathy! Young Master Liu is an immortal teacher, and we have to rely on Young Master Liu to take care of our small village! None of you should speak for the Rong family, and be careful not to cause trouble!"
"That's right! The kid from the Rong family doesn't know what to do. Young Master Liu said that the marriage contract is broken but he can be accepted as a bed warmer. Anyone who is a fairy teacher can get an elixir. When the time comes, you can reward the kid from the Rong family with one or two, and it will also benefit you." Shou Yannian, he just didn't know what was good or bad, so he rejected Mr. Liu after taking back the token, and it turned out to be in vain. The servant who followed him, now that servant is around Mr. Liu all day long, dressed well and eating well The little face is so pale! You are better than this young master!"
"I think Rong Qing might regret it a lot in his heart! Maybe he is still thinking about how to grab a man from his own Xiaosi!"
The tea farmers spoke vulgar words one by one, without any scruples about Rong Qing himself who was not far away from them. Originally seeing the riches of the Rong family and the Liu family, they were also very jealous. Some people tried to learn from the two families to collect tea and sell it, but because all the channels had been taken by the Rong family and the Liu family, others Even if the tea is collected, it cannot be sold, so the tea can only be sold to two families.
The unhappiness in my heart has been simmering all the time. Now that the Rong family is down and down, it is natural to vent all the malice on the Rong family. As for the Liu family, they are still their god of wealth at present, and they cannot be offended for the time being.
It's just that as the center of the discussion, Rong Qing didn't look angry at all. He was obviously being slandered behind his back, but the expression on his face was indifferent, even a little nervous and excited in anticipation.
There was still some distance between those tea farmers and Rong Qing, so no one noticed that Rong Qing was not actually picking tea. He was just picking some tea on his own piece of land that had been abandoned for a while, which was considered by the villagers to be tea. Weeds that never get rid of.
A row of leaves grow straight on the slender stalks, and under the leaves is a row of small green beads. This kind of grass is everywhere on this small hillside. When the tea farmers first decided to plant tea here Originally, I wanted to cut the weeds. But other weeds can be easily cut off, only this kind of grass, even a single one cannot be pulled out after exhausting methods.
It feels no different from other grasses, soft and tender, but it is invulnerable. I originally wanted to use fire, but the tea farmers had no common sense. They were worried that doing so would harm the land and affect the quality of the tea grown.
Moreover, the villagers of the older generation said that this kind of grass was already there when their ancestors first moved here. In terms of age, they are older than the oldest people here. Some people even think that it is also a symbol of their village. One, because this kind of grass is only concentrated on this small hillside.
However, this kind of grass, which seems to be indestructible by any force, was easily broken in Rong Qing's hands.
If there was a fairy teacher like the previous tea farmers said, they would definitely see a faint blue light around Rong Qing's hands when he folded the grass.
In less than half a day, Rong Qing picked a basket full of "grass", but in order to prevent the fellow villagers from discovering that he could actually pick this kind of grass and cause suspicion, Rong Qing randomly pulled out a handful of tea leaves and some other things. Put the weeds on the top of the basket, and then walked away humming a little song with a smile on his face.
Some of the tea farmers took a peek at Rong Qing's basket, and they all showed expressions of contempt or disgust. It really is the young master who is spoiled and spoiled at home every day. He doesn't even know how to pick tea. There is a lot of grass, tea and grass can't be distinguished, maybe Rong Bancheng will come out to pick tea by himself in the future.
Anyway, all the servants in their family have been dismissed, except for Xiaosi who followed Master Liu, there is only one young man named Zhuang Xian who stays in the Rong family to look after his life because he was saved by Rong Bancheng in his early years. hospital.
And this Zhuang Xian didn't know how to pick tea. After all, the Rong family had already made a fortune when he was rescued, so naturally he didn't need his own people to do this kind of physical work.
However, Rong Qing really didn't seem to hear these gossips, even his eyes didn't change.
This level of bad words can't hurt him at all now, let alone such words that can barely be regarded as behind-the-scenes talk, even when the housekeeper of the Liu family came to humiliate him that day, he didn't behave like outsiders thought. Angry to vomit blood.
That day he just came back from practicing outside all night, of course he came in through the back door in order to deceive others. As soon as he changed his clothes, Chang Song, his personal servant, opened the door and ran in.
Chang Song didn't leave him because the Rong family fell behind. He was touched by this in his previous life, but later he realized that the other party stayed not because of loyalty, but because he wanted to see what the Rong family could take advantage of in the end.
"Master, Mr. Liu has returned the soul-locking bead that was the engagement token back then!"
"Really? I'm about to ask for this! He's such a good man!" Rong Qing didn't lift his eyes when he spoke.
Chang Song didn't know that the young master in front of him had been reborn after death all his life, but he felt that the attitude of the other party made him very strange. You should be very annoyed by such a thing as retiring the engagement. Could it be that you are too impatient and stupid
"But since he returned the token, it means that he is here to divorce the engagement. But Mr. Liu is willing to take care of the young master, but I have to be the big one and you the young one, because my talent is better than you!"
Rong Qing snorted coldly in his heart, shit talent! It's just that this little wave hoof hooked up with Liu Xingzi behind his back, and even slept in the bed, begging Liu Xingzi to give him a chance to use him!
"Don't count me in, give me 20,000 gold coins and I'll let you shameless pair of dogs go."
This style of painting is wrong, shouldn't it be crying, making trouble, and hanging himself
Chang Song was stunned for a while before remembering the amount of money that Rong Qing said just now, "You! Are you crazy? Twenty thousand gold? You just hate Mr. Liu for not wanting you, so you deliberately make trouble, don't you?!"
Rong Qing raised the corners of his mouth, squinted his eyes and looked at Chang Song casually, "I figured out that there is still a big marriage waiting for me, who are you? And don't forget, when my father sent me away You voluntarily stayed as a servant, so the deed of sale is still in my hands. If you don't agree, I will hold you back even if I die! And don't expect my father to intercede for you!
Doesn't Liu Xingzi love you? Although 20,000 gold is the Liu family's income for almost a year, but you are a living person and his treasure, so isn't it worth 20,000 gold in his heart? Besides, you don't want to know where you are in Liu Xingzi's heart? "
Rong Qing's last words moved Chang Song's heart, he is just an ordinary person, he has no aptitude for cultivating immortals, and he is just a Xiaosi, and being with Liu Xingzi is definitely considered a high rise, so he tried his best to charm Liu Xingzi, He would not be so stupid as to think that Liu Xingzi really loved him, but he still wanted to know his "value".
Chang Song gritted his teeth, "Okay, I will pass on your words to Young Master Liu. If Young Master Liu pays the money, you have to return the contract of sale to me, and remember that you have nothing to do with us anymore."
Rong Qing stretched her fingers and combed her hair, with an indifferent smile on her indifferent face, "I wish I could."
The reason why he stayed in Changsong until now is for the 20,000 gold! Rong Qing knew that he would take the road of cultivating immortals in the future, and he would follow the memories of his previous life to get back what belonged to him. He also wanted to join the Lingyun Sect for revenge, but before that, he had to settle down with his father, Rong Bancheng. And the Rong family is not as good as before, he needs a lot of money.
Abandoned at the entrance of the village at the foot of Xiaoling Mountain when he was young, although he knew in his last life that he had the blood of the Nine-Turn Heavenly Snake, and his status should be extraordinary, but no matter what, he was left in a remote village. At that time, if Rong Bancheng hadn't picked him up, and he hadn't awakened his bloodline and started to practice, he would be no different from an ordinary person, and he might have died outside long ago.
Not long after he set foot on the road of cultivation, he was discovered to have the blood of the extinct Nine-turned Heavenly Snake in his body, and he was hunted down everywhere to get the blood, and it was his father who protected him with a mortal body until his death.
In Rong Qing's eyes, Rong Bancheng is closer than his biological father!
