Aspiring to the Immortal Path Chapter 2: Relatives

July every year is the busiest time in Canglong Mansion.

The annual Lantern Festival is held here for three days.

These three days are the days when common people get happiness, and they are also the days when merchants gain wealth.

This time of year is the busiest time for the Wei family. Businesses in stores, restaurants, inns, clothing shops and other places are booming. The shopkeepers in the shops are even lining up to enter the courtyard of the Wei family. So I can report to my wife.

In recent years, the business of Wei Mansion has become larger and larger. There are two more shops in Canglong Mansion, and three more trade routes have been opened for the business of goods. At least twenty caravans have used Wei Mansion to Do business under the banner of the family.

It all started when the young master became the true successor of Guanri Peak.

Nineteen Heavenly Kuizhen Biography, no matter how many people break their heads, they won’t be able to **** it away.

The development of the family has always been closely related to the future and destiny of the cultivators. Those cultivators in the immediate family are like the protective umbrella of the family. As wide as the protective umbrella can be, the family's hand can be extended as far as it can.

As for the protective umbrella of Wei Tianchong Tang Jie, his current status alone is enough to support the Wei family to continue to expand for a long time.

In Zhaohua Courtyard of the Wei family, Wei Zheng Shufeng is sitting in front of a desk at the moment.

The book case was carried into the courtyard, and a large row of family members were kneeling under the courtyard.

Zheng Shufeng was looking through the books from the case. From time to time, he would call out a name, and someone below would answer. Then Zheng Shufeng would ask questions, and the people below would answer.

Sometimes when Zheng Shufeng is slightly dissatisfied, he will raise his brows, and the people below him will tremble and be frightened; occasionally Zheng Shufeng will nod with satisfaction, and the people below him will be ecstatic.

As Wei Tianchong soared into the sky, Zheng Shufeng's status and power also increased. Now she is no longer just in charge of her family. She can even intervene in the business of the shop outside at any time, and some personnel appointments need to be made. In her hands, the master is mainly responsible for some external and commercial transactions.

At this moment, Zheng Shufeng finally read the rest of the account book, waved his hand and said: "Okay, I've read it, and I've asked it. It seems that this year's annual achievements will be like that. I'm here It's strange. Even if the Wei family doesn't add much this year, it's a good thing that they have added eighteen shops. Why is it that the business they do seems to be nothing? Speaking of which, the market this year is not worse than in previous years. !"

The people below lowered their heads and did not dare to reply.

Zheng Shufeng's fingers unconsciously tapped on the countertop: "I see, this business is still open a lot, and they are a little anxious in hiring people, so they just sneak in some unreasonable people if they don't have to. If the threshold for entering the Wei family is Those who are low and have nothing will be looked down upon by others, and they will not cherish this job. It is inevitable to be cunning and cunning in doing things, but they don’t know that the numbers on the books are not hidden from others.”

Manager Qin, who had been sitting next to him, hurriedly smiled and said: "What my wife is saying is that in the past, when people were hired by the Wei family, no one would be reused until they had been tested for three to five years. Now that the expansion is too fast, it is inevitable that there will be a shortage of manpower. It gave some people a chance. With expansion like this, although the number of shops has been increased, the benefits have not been increased much. It’s not enough to just have a shelf.”

"So you should hurry up. If there are any unsuitable ones, resign those that should be resigned. Don't keep them for leisure." Zheng Shufeng took a few account books and pointed at them: "These houses Shops should especially be inspected. The regulations they have handed over in the past few months have become more and more unsightly. They need to check carefully later. If it is the shopkeeper's problem, then the shopkeeper will be fired. If it is the shopkeeper's problem, the shopkeeper will be asked to get out. ”

"Yes." Manager Qin said: "I will take care of it myself later."

Zheng Shufeng said: "You don't need to handle this matter. You are too old. Just rest in the house. You can just send a boy you trust to handle this matter."

"I'm always afraid of not getting it right."

Zheng Shufeng smiled and said: "I trust your vision. Speaking of which, without you, our Wei family would not be what it is now."

Guan Shi Qin said hurriedly: "Madam, you are here again. The reason why the Wei Mansion is what it is today is because of my wife's discerning eyes and young master Tang Jie's hard work. Qin Yuan is lucky to have a little recommendation, which is already accumulated by his ancestors. Blessings come."

Zheng Shufeng smiled and waved his hand: "Okay, okay, it would be pretentious to say anything else. Speaking of which, Chong'er hasn't been back for a few days. Alas, I don't know how he has been lately. This brat never knows how to write a letter. Letter back."

Manager Qin said hurriedly: "A letter came from Xiaojie a few days ago, saying that everything is fine. Please feel free to worry, Madam."

"With him here, I don't have anything to worry about. I'm just always a little worried. Maybe it's a common mother's problem." As he spoke, Zheng Shufeng raised his arms, stretched, and said with a sigh: "Say After a long day, I am tired and exhausted. I think I will come here first today. By the way, Manager Qin, the Lantern Festival is approaching. Please help me pick some gifts from the house and send them to the Wu family. As a festive gift to the two elders’ house.”

"Yes, madam." Manager Qin stood up and led a group of people below to say goodbye to his wife.

A group of people had not dared to fart in the courtyard before. Now they walked out of the courtyard and immediately begged to Manager Qin one by one:

"Manager Qin, you have to help me tell my wife. This is a small business but you are doing your job with all your heart. The market is really not very good this year..."

As he spoke, packages were secretly delivered to Manager Qin one by one.

Manager Qin refused and said with a smile: "Don't worry, don't worry, Qin knows that it's not easy for everyone, and he will never fire anyone at will. Please rest assured, those who do good things will only be reused..."

As Tang Jie performed better and better at Xiyue Academy, Manager Qin's status in the Wei Mansion also became higher and higher. Although he is still his chief butler and his position has not changed, the weight of his words is getting more and more important in the Wei Mansion. Even Zheng Shufeng talks to him in a consultative tone. He usually communicates while sitting down. The servants were standing or even kneeling.

Looking at how late it was at this moment, Manager Qin went back to his room directly after explaining.

Now he has a house of his own outside the Wei Mansion, which was specially allocated to him by the Wei Mansion. Next to it is the new house of the two elders of the Wu family, also given by the Wei Mansion. As for the old house, it is empty. There is no shortage of money now, so I don’t want to rent it out.

Humming a little tune all the way out of the mansion, Manager Qin walked down the alley, still holding a gift for the elders in his hand. As he was walking, his back suddenly tightened, and something pressed against his back. Then a hand covered Manager Qin's neck, and a low voice said: "Don't look back, rob, and hand over all the money you have." Come out!"

Manager Qin was shocked and did not dare to move anymore. He could only say: "The silver is in my right pocket. My friend went to get it."

One hand had already taken away the silver from his bag, and then he heard the voice say: "So little? What a poor man."

Manager Qin was helpless: "I'm just a servant, how much money can I bring? My friend, you'd better leave as soon as you get the money. The Wei family is next door. If the guards of the Wei family see it, I'm afraid they will think I can’t even run away.”

The voice behind said disdainfully: "Oh, it's just a small nursing home, what's so scary about it."

After hearing this, Manager Qin felt angry and said: "Aren't you afraid of the guardian, but the immortal master is scary? There are immortal masters in the Wei Mansion. You must know that the immortal master is not an ordinary person, he can fly in the clouds, ride the mist, and call the wind and rain."

"You are flying in the clouds and driving the mist, calling the wind and rain. How can there be so many immortal masters in the world? I think they are just pretentious and deceiving."

Manager Qin said angrily: "Ignorance! I advised you with good intentions, but you are so ignorant. You must know that the Wei family has a son who is currently studying at Xiyue Academy under the Xiyue Sect. He is extremely talented and has reached the level of Feitian. He is also the first disciple of Master Changfeng, and the guard Tang Jie has excellent sword skills..."

He was waiting for a lesson when he heard a burst of laughter coming from behind him.

The voice suddenly became so familiar that Guan Qin was stunned at first, and then blurted out: "Master?"

Looking back, I saw Wei Tianchong and Shi Meng laughing happily. Tang Jie was standing in the distance, with a pink and tender girl sitting on his shoulders, and a big tiger lying at his feet. Even Wei Tianchong was holding a little fox in his arms.

Tang Jie pointed at Wei Tianchong, indicating that this was all his intention, and he was helpless.

"Master, Tang Jie, Shi Meng... why is it you? Why are you back?" Manager Qin asked in surprise.

Wei Tianchong covered his stomach and smiled and said: "I missed my mother, so I naturally came back to take a look. I just arrived at the door before I went in, and I saw you coming out. I wanted to scare you, but I didn't expect... Haha, Steward Qin, you can really play, what is the level of Feitian? Do we cultivators have the level of Feitian?"

Shi Meng also pointed at Wei Tianchong and smiled: "First disciple, Master, you have become a real first disciple, and you are extremely talented. And Tang Jie, guard Tang Jie... hahahaha."

Wei Tianchong was dissatisfied: "Wait a minute, it seems right that I am extremely talented."

Shi Meng curled his lips: "This is the worst thing."

"Oh, you are so brave, you think you are Tang Jie and I dare not beat you, right? Master, I will beat you three by myself now..."

Manager Qin blushed and grabbed Shi Meng's ears: "Well, you brats, after practicing for a few days, you have grown up and grown up. You even fooled me! You even robbed me. I, the young master, robbed the manager? Is there any justice in this? I have to go to my wife to sue you."

Shi Meng was pinched by him and screamed, but he didn't dare to fight back. Wei Tian rushed forward, grabbed Manager Qin's hand and said: "Don't, don't, we can't admit our mistakes. I'm just giving you a shot." It’s just a joke, look, you’re serious. We’ll compensate you for what we robbed you of. Why not double the compensation?”

As he spoke, Wei Tianchong returned the silver to Manager Qin with one hand, took out a bottle of pills with the other hand, poured out a pill from it, and solemnly placed it in Manager Qin's hand: "Here, the longevity pill, Tang Jie prepared it for you. , I’ll be a good person and give it to you.”

"Life-prolonging pill?" Manager Qin was surprised.

He certainly knew this. In the past few years, the two elders of the Wu family relied on this medicine. Their health improved greatly and their spirits became high. At that time, he was envious and hoped that Tang Jie would find one for him. However, he knew that this medicine was definitely not cheap, and he was not old enough to take it, so he just wanted to think about it. Unexpectedly, Tang Jie actually found it for him today, and he was very excited.

Looking at Tang Jie at this moment, I saw that he was still standing by the wall and smiling at me.

My heart moved slightly, and I kicked Wei Tianchong: "Go, go, go. Since you are back, why don't you go to your mother quickly? What are you doing here with a servant of mine?"

Wei Tianchong laughed and dodged: "I know. Manager Qin, Tang Jie, I'm going to see my mother first."

Tang Jie replied: "I will go to see my adoptive father and mother first, and then I will go to see the master and his wife later."

"Okay." Wei Tianchong agreed, and instead of going through the main entrance, he and Shi Meng jumped directly from the wall into the mansion. Then they heard a deep shout from the mansion: "Who broke into the Wei mansion without permission!"

A burst of energy has rushed out of the mansion, followed by a banging sound, and then Wei Tianchong's wild laughter: "Hey, is there a new immortal master in the mansion? Come on, come on, I know I am the flying thief on Liangshan Mountain, but the new immortal master dares to fight me for three hundred rounds..."

As Wei Tianchong screamed, the house was in a state of chaos.

Tang Jie and Manager Qin looked at each other and smiled together. Regardless of what this **** was doing at home, Tang Jie waved his hand and asked Yiyi to take Xiaohu to play, and then stepped forward. Walking towards home with Manager Qin.

On the way back, Manager Qin asked: "How many days can we stay when we come back this time?"

Tang Jie replied: "I received the mission before I came here. It will be at the end of next month at the latest. Excluding the time to go back, it will be about twenty days."

"That's a good relationship." Manager Qin was very satisfied: "I just want to stay in the mansion for a few more days to accompany your adoptive parents and build up the momentum of the Wei mansion."

"Why does the Wei Mansion still need to build up its momentum?" Tang Jie asked with a smile.

“The night is approaching, and it’s the time for everyone to show off their skills. Sometimes you have to show off your strength. You can build momentum, but you can weaken it.”

Hearing this, Tang Jie's eyes narrowed slightly: "It sounds like there's been some trouble in the house recently?"

Manager Qin shook his head and sighed: "It's too troublesome to say, but many things may not be troublesome if they are handled well, but they may be big troubles if they are not handled well."

"What's going on?"

"No need to worry, no need to worry. Let's wait until we meet your adoptive parents first." Manager Qin was not in a hurry to answer, and just took Tang Jie home.

When they arrived at the door of Wu's house, Manager Qin knocked on the door, but it was a boy in his teens who opened the door. Seeing that it was Manager Qin, the boy hurriedly welcomed Manager Qin in, but his eyes kept turning on Tang Jie.

Manager Qin smiled and patted him: "This is your second young master. Why don't you go and inform the two elders that their youngest son, whom they miss day and night, is back."

The boy was so excited that he immediately understood who the person in front of him was and ran into the house quickly.

Tang Jie asked: "Is there a servant at home?"

Manager Qin said with a smile: "My wife arranged it two years ago. It's a challenge. After all, I'm getting older. Even if I take the longevity pill, I can't let the old man still do things by himself."

"Thank you, madam, for your thoughtfulness." Tang Jie sighed. He was in the academy, and although he cared about his two elders, he still didn't think thoroughly enough about some things.

The two of them entered the back room and saw that the young man had already welcomed the two elders out.

When the old lady of the Wu family saw Tang Jie, she was surprised and happy, and shouted directly: "It's really Xiao Jie who is back!"

Tang Jie's eyes were also moist. He took two steps forward and fell to his knees: "Father, mother!"

The second elder rushed to meet Tang Jie and hugged him. The three of them looked at each other, and they were all speechless with excitement.

It was Manager Qin who stepped forward to help Tang Jie up first, and then he and Tang Jie helped the two elders sit down.

As soon as they sat down here, the two elders kept asking Tang Jie how his life was in the academy. How was your food, how was your cultivation, and who did you offend right now? Let’s focus on cultivation and avoid causing trouble. After a while, how are you serving the young master? I want to repay my kindness, and I can't ignore the young master just because I fulfilled my promise and got rid of my servant body.

All kinds of inquiries, all kinds of concerns, all kinds of exhortations, all kinds of instructions, endless words and endless cares made Tang Jie feel helpless.

Fortunately, Manager Qin came to help and said: "Don't worry, you two elders. It's not like you don't know how sensible Xiao Jie is. I asked about Xiao Jie on the way here. Xiao Jie is very good now and has been refined. , the status is the same as the fourth rank, but you will not bow to the official!"

The two elders were pleased to hear this and repeatedly shouted, "God has eyes."

Tang Jie asked: "How have the two elders been these past few years?"

The second elder replied: "Okay, it can't be better. The Wei Mansion gave us a piece of land, but we, the two elders, couldn't do it, so we rented it out. This house was also given by the Wei Mansion, and so were the servants. Ban'er is not a bad person. You are smart and willing to work hard. You are a bit as smart as you were back then. Xing'er came back a few years ago and did business with the young master. He became more and more sensible and sent money back every year. In fact, we now have everything we need. It's all taken care of by the Wei Mansion, so it's useless to ask for money. It will still be left to you in the future."

The old man described all this with his simple mentality, which was a strange feeling to Tang Jie's ears.

After chatting for a while, I heard someone knocking on the door outside.

Ban'er went to open the door and saw Yan Chen, the second housekeeper of the Wei Mansion.

After entering the door of the Wu family, Yan Chen came to the hall, bowed first to the two elders, and then to Tang Jie, and then said with a smile: "I just got the news that the young master and Mr. Tang are back. Madam I'm in a good mood. I'm having a banquet for my servants. Let me come over and invite the two old men to come to the house for the banquet. Mr. Tang happens to be here, so please come with him."

As he said this, he took out an invitation from his sleeve and handed it over.

Tang Jie knew that the government had received the news~IndoMTL.com~ and immediately asked Yan Chen to come over in person to invite the two elders to show their importance.

He looked at Manager Qin. Manager Qin knew what he meant and said hurriedly: "Every time there is a banquet in the house these years, the two elders will be invited."

The two elders also said: "That's right, the Wei Mansion has nothing to say to us."

"That's good." Tang Jie said sternly: "I, Tang Jie, will remember the kindness of the Wei family. If my wife has any errands, it's okay to say so."

Yan Chen is also a good talker and said with a smile: "The mansion understands Mr. Tang's wishes. There is no rush in this matter. Young Master, please just focus on cultivating yourself outside. The mansion will arrange everything at home."

Seeing him say this, Tang Jie felt very comfortable.

A few people chatted at home for a while, and after seeing that the time was almost up, they headed to the Wei Mansion together. Before they arrived at the Wei Mansion, they heard the roar of gongs and drums, and the sound of drums and cannons.

Before it gets dark, large swaths of fireworks burst into the sky.

In this way, it is announced to the outside world that the young master of the Wei family is back!
