Early the next morning, the housekeeper’s wife brought two small servants to wait on her. After all, Xu Ziqing still has the identity of a former grandfather and son of a former division. He has come to this mansion. Although he has no status in essence, he has to do all the things in the face. Moreover, Xu Ziqing is also in the Xu family bloodline anyway. There are countless branches in this large family, and the descendants of each branch have passed. In the past years, many people who are expected to be immortal have also appeared in the past. If Xu Ziqing was neglected at this time, once he was found out of his spiritual roots in the future, it would be really simple to pinch such a few people to death.
Xu Ziqing has been used to doing things by herself over the years, but she has been served by others in her previous life. So when the young man came to dress him and tie him socks, he was calm and unpretentious. Seeing him so generous, the people who served him naturally didn't dare to look down upon him, and waited for him to wash up respectfully, then bowed his head and walked out.
The housekeeper's wife said, "The master prepared the meal in the front hall, and I want the young master to go for breakfast."
Xu Ziqing smiled gently: "Then please lead the way."
There was a round table in the front hall. The master Xu Mengqian was naturally sitting on the main seat, and his prostitutes and concubines were sitting next to him. The sons and daughters who came from the branch were sitting on another square table.
Xu Ziqing's seat was at the end of his prostitute and before his concubine, and it was considered appropriate. He followed the usual low-key. After hearing a few words from Xu Mengqian, he bowed his head to eat and did not talk to others. As for his natural face, someone had already explained his identity to his cousins about long ago, and no one took the initiative to care about him.
But the dinner table is not completely quiet. Because I have to go to the clan, if you want to live better, you will always have to have some companions, so that you can take root in the clan and have a certain right to speak. So the concubines on the left of Ziqing were naturally politely tempting each other, and the concubines on the right were also talking, but the etiquette was worse.
The atmosphere was warm after a meal. At the end of the meal, Xu Mengqian coughed slightly, everyone stopped chopsticks, and their eyes fell on him. This is to listen to him teach how to act in the clan.
Sure enough, Xu Mengqian said, "Everyone is the foundation of my Xu family. Three days later, when everyone comes together, they must enter the clan and accept spiritual root investigation. Once they are found to be a person of immortal fate, they will stay in the clan. There are countless spiritual herbs and magic arrays, so you can enjoy them." At this point, he said, his voice sank, "If the fairy relationship is complete, there will be immortals in the upper realm. Then I will be supported by the immortals. If you go to the upper realm, you will have endless longevity, immortality and sacredness. This kind of good fortune, you all have the opportunity, but don't commit anything, because you are small and big, and you will be cheap for others!"
Hearing what he said, everyone looked happy and sat upright.
Xu Mengqian squeezed his long beard and nodded slightly: "You keep in mind, this time to go to the clan family, the rules are very great. Those who can stay in the clan with the immortal fate should also proceed with caution. The young masters and ladies have had discord. Otherwise, it will be the master and I will not be able to save you."
Most of what he said was to a few children in his own family. Although those branch members who separated from the family were called "young master" or "young lady" at home, they were actually low-tempered. When they came to this family, they were all considered good. Sensible, when you arrive at the clan, you will certainly not provoke it at will. But my own children are different. Although they have also taught the rules, they have been respected by their subordinates for many years. When they reach the Zong family, they must be a little uncomfortable, and some are more temperamental and impulsive. They accidentally commit crimes in the Zong family. He was beyond reach. Moreover, like Xu Mengqian's line, there are hundreds of people in the same family who have the same status. When it comes to that family, it is really nothing.
Xu Mengqian thought for a while, and then said: "When you go to the Zong Family, you will forget what Young Master you are. You must respect the nobles of the Zong Family, and even those dignified servant maids should never offend him. He Most of those who were once expected to be immortal, their status is much higher than that of the nobles of the Zong family, but Bill and others are much higher. I am preparing to have a few servants here, and they are all familiar with the rules of the Zong family. In the future, Ruoer and others have good luck. Those who were the ancestors of the clan and the head of the family received them as disciples, so they were given them to prevent you from doing something wrong, which was a waste of talent."
As for those who have spiritual roots but have little fairy ties, naturally in the Zong Family, they have to work hard on their own.
After that, he mentioned a few more names, talked about some important points, and even talked about some of the people in the family who had some friendship with them.
Xu Ziqing listened silently, trying to keep it in her heart. He doesn't know if there is a spiritual root in his head. If he stays, he doesn't listen to these words, and then it will be only himself who will be unlucky.
This teaching lasted a full hour. The people had tea. After they drank it, they all returned to their own yard. Some thoughtful people also went to continue the "friendship" on the dinner table without mentioning them.
Xu Ziqing also returned to his yard. This is just a small courtyard. I don't know how many seats there are in the mansion. Only because he has the identity of a former protégé can he be assigned one alone. As for the girls and boys from farther away, they live in the same courtyard and are divided into different rooms.
There is a fence in this courtyard to form a small flower bed, in which a few bluegrass plantains are planted, and large fan-like leaves hang down, which hides the tranquility and looks elegant. There is a bamboo chair, a footbed, and a round table with long legs under the banana leaves.
Xu Ziqing moved in his heart, walked over to sit on the chair, straightened his long legs, and stepped on the couch. He squinted his eyes halfway, soothing his mind while enjoying the cold. Although it is spring, the sun is still a bit too hot in the afternoon.
A young man came over lightly and asked in a low voice: "Young Master Zi, can you ask for a small pot of tea?"
Xu Ziqing smiled at him: "Thank you."
Xiao Si hurriedly said: "I don't dare to be a little one." He bowed down, and after a short while, there were footsteps, and he poured a cup of tea and put it next to Xu Ziqing.
Xu Ziqing took a sip, and his lips and teeth were indeed fragrant. When he saw the little servant standing aside a teapot and dared not to go, he waved his hand and said, "Leave the teapot and go by yourself. You don't have to wait."
The little servant put the teapot on the round table and quietly withdrew.
Xu Ziqing breathed a sigh of relief. He doesn't like to be stared at when he is resting.
After drinking two more sips of tea, Xu Ziqing felt that his neck seemed to be strangled by some rope.
I saw that the object was dim in color, and I don't know what long striped thing had its head and tail, and it was circled into a ring. Only raised the head slightly, and hidden a bead under the horn on the top of the head.
This thing is really shabby, but the weight is still quite heavy. However, Xu Ziqing recognized that there was a long dragon at the end of this title.
Xu Ziqing originally found this object while sleeping in the wild. Later, he felt that it had a simple shape and was a totem of the country in his previous life. Quan Zuo is a little homesick.
After playing with it for a while, Xu Ziqing put it in his clothes, and then took a leisurely rest.
It was when the eyelids were a little tight, there were footsteps passing by outside the door, and there was a burst of noise, which made him wake up all at once.
I just heard someone say: "Who is living in it, so I made a yard alone!"
It echoed: "Exactly, Sister Zishu, we have all visited all the older brothers and sisters here, who is this person?"
Then there was a delicate voice with some arrogance: "It's not my brothers and sisters who live here."
Someone was curious and asked: "Who is that?"
He heard Xu Zishu snorted and said, "Originally, my uncle died and this lone seedling was left behind. I originally lived in Zhuangzi. My father had a good heart. This time he was going to the clan’s house and brought him here. Let him live alone in such a great place!"
Hearing what she said, others hurriedly complimented: "Master Xu has a kind heart and is different from others!"
"Exactly! This is the son of Master Xu's kind and compassionate brother!"
Someone went further: "Since this is the case, the guests who live there should be grateful to Dade!"
Others sneered: "This man must have a bad temper, otherwise he clearly has such a great kindness, but he hasn't come out to walk around with all the brothers and sisters of the direct line and thank you!"
These voices were not small, so Xu Ziqing heard clearly. He frowned first, then let it go again.
When Ziqing was at the dinner table in the early days, he only felt that Xu's family was a big family, that it was splitting the family and raising the children in a proper manner. Unexpectedly, it turned out that it was only in front of Xu Mengqian, and the gossip in private was as good as the people who chewed the tongue.
In fact, if it is an ordinary family, and the eldest son has passed away and the eldest grandson is left, the family business should have been inherited by the eldest grandson. Xu Ziqing was the eldest grandson. It was only because he was too young to take care of the family, so he was picked up by Xu Mengqian's second grandson. In this family of immortals, Xu Mengqian naturally cannot kill off his direct descendants, and it is reasonable to raise him until he grows up. There is no saying that he is kind to Xu Ziqing. Xu Ziqing himself has no hatred of Xu Mengqian, and she is also grateful that he is good to him at any rate. Just want Xu Ziqing to be grateful to him... but it makes no sense.
These words are a bit too much, but they are just too much. Xu Mengqian didn’t make a big mistake in inheriting this division, and he supported him and grew up. His children played tricks behind their backs. Xu Ziqing has lived for two lifetimes. Is it necessary to make a special effort? Can't care about it? However, once people with such temperament can't hold back, they will always get into trouble, and they will have to stay away from them in the future.
He didn't move inside, and the people outside might also find it boring. After saying a few words while passing by, the footsteps are also far away. Xu Ziqing yawned and simply took a nap.
