Chapter 56: Wang’s “Bad Habits” Sweep Through Beijing

…

While Emperor Longchang was talking about Wang Shouzhe, Wang Shouzhe and his party finally arrived at the main residence of the Wang family in Daqian, led by the head of the Wang Yuchang family.

As one of the three oldest aristocratic families in the Daqian Kingdom, the main residence of the Daqian Wang family has a history of more than 7,000 years.

Just from the huge area of ​​​​the main house and the grandeur revealed from the cracks in the brick walls and tiles, it seems that we can get a glimpse of the former glory of the Daqian Wang family.

If placed on the earth, these are all historical relics.

Of course, the materials used in the Wang family's main residence are not ordinary materials, otherwise they would have rotted away over thousands of years.

But even so, regular maintenance is still required, otherwise no matter how good the wood is, it will not withstand the corrosion of time. On average, the Wang family spends a huge sum of money just on maintaining the main house every year.

At the very front of this magnificent building complex is a huge archway.

The archway is more than seven feet high and is made of white jade. At the top of the archway hangs a plaque made of gold wire and iron wood. On the plaque are written the four characters "Meritors passed down to the world" written in iron and silver hooks.

It is said that this plaque was personally inscribed by the founding emperor Ziwei Xuandu. It represents the late emperor's regard for the Daqian Wang family and also commends the Daqian Wang family for their meritorious service.

Apart from the Wang family of Daqian, only the Zhao family of Daqian has similar archways and plaques.

This plaque alone is enough to make other aristocratic families envious, especially the Gongye family and the Chen family, who were latecomers.

After passing through the archway and entering the main residence area of ​​the Daqian Wang family, Wang Shouzhe clearly felt that the concentration of spiritual energy in the air had increased a lot.

It was obvious that a large spirit gathering formation must have been arranged in the main residence of the Daqian Wang family.

Most of this was left by the ancestors of the Daqian Wang family. In this environment, let alone practicing, even just surviving, you can strengthen your body and prolong your life.

"Shouzhe, over there is the meeting hall. Elders meetings are held regularly to discuss and decide on all matters within the family."

"That area is the main martial arts field, where clan soldiers and generals are trained, or where some major events are held."

"Have you seen that magnificent 100-foot-tall building? That is the nine-story Xuanyuan Tower of our Wang family. It is the place where our ancestors spent a lot of money to invite the master architects and formation masters from the Immortal Courtyard to jointly build the foundation and inheritance of the family. , is also the core of our Wang family’s internal spirit gathering formation.”

Wang Yuchang took Wang Shouzhe and others on a tour inside the Wang family's main house, and carefully introduced to him some of the more important buildings in the main house, as well as the history related to these buildings.

Wang Shouzhe couldn't help but feel filled with emotion when he heard this.

It is indeed a family that has lasted for more than seven thousand years, and its heritage is extremely rich. Even some ordinary spiritual saplings, after a long period of baptism, have turned into towering trees full of spiritual energy.

There is a random brick under your feet, maybe it was laid by our ancestors thousands of years ago, and it has a strong sense of historical vicissitudes.

Compared with Changning Wang Family, the foundation is too shallow.

However, today's Wang family in Changning also has its own advantages, that is, it is young and full of vitality. Unlike the Daqian Wang family, which is bloated and cumbersome, with countless clansmen intertwined and extremely complicated relationships, there are not many who are truly promising, and most of them are mediocre and just want to live a comfortable life.

The Dingguo Duke's Mansion was very large, almost as large as an acropolis in terms of local area. The population of the main residence alone exceeds ten thousand, and the total number of servants, servants, and generals reaches tens of thousands.

These are only those who are permanently stationed in the main house. The number of tribesmen and military generals scattered outside is also very large. In Guilong City and the surrounding suburbs of Guilong City, there are many branch families of Duke Dingguo, as well as collateral families with a very large population.

Throughout history, there have been many branches branching off from Dingguo Gongfu, but in the long historical process, most of them have either been extinct or have been disconnected from the main line.

Among them, the Monan Wang family, the Longzuo Wang family, and the Tianfu Wang family were all separated from the Zifu elders of the Daqian Wang family, so they were relatively strong overall.

But even so, the Wang family of Longzuo almost fell into the dust.

Wang Shouzhe and others looked at everything in the Wang family's main house. Although they were mentally prepared, they were still filled with emotions and emotions.

However, the main residence of the Wang family is too big, and it is impossible for Wang Shouzhe and others to finish the tour in a short while. Therefore, after just a cursory browse, the head of the Yuchang family took Wang Shouzhe and others to the banquet for entertaining guests. In the hall, a reception banquet was held for Wang Shouzhe and others.

I won’t go into details about the excitement during this period and the enthusiasm of the main line.

In the end, the head of the Yuchang family secretly gave Wang Yingxuan and Wang Lilong a red envelope each. Needless to say, everyone has fifteen purple gold tickets.

It can be seen that the head of the Yuchang family is very optimistic about Wang Yingxuan and Wang Lilong, and feels that each of them has huge potential in the future, which can be regarded as the love, expectation and support of the younger generation among the family.

Wang Shouzhe is relatively clear about the current situation of the Daqian Wang family. He knows that because of the deliberate and unintentional suppression and suppression by Emperor Longchang for thousands of years, although the Daqian Wang family has not truly declined, the family heritage accumulated in the early days is gradually being worn away. Many industries in the outside world are gradually disappearing, closing down, or being sold without realizing it.

Nowadays, the economic situation of Daqian Wang family is actually not very good. The funds used to train clan members can be said to be scarce. Only the more important clan members can be better trained, such as Tianren Realm, Zifu Realm, or On these facade signs of the Divine Power Realm. The middle and lower class people often do not receive the best training, and in external competition, they often cannot compete with the increasingly powerful Anguo Duke.

As a result, it naturally falls into a vicious cycle.

After the reception feast.

Wang Shouzhe and others were arranged to live in a guest house called [Four Seasons Garden].

This Four Seasons Garden, located to the west of the main house, covers an area of ​​dozens of acres. It is planted with many exotic flowers and plants, as well as elegant garden rockeries, bamboo forests and fish ponds.

The most peculiar thing is that four small formations are arranged in the courtyard to control different temperatures in the area, so that exotic flowers that should bloom in different seasons can bloom in the same courtyard and at the same time period.

In the house, there are hundreds of servants, from kitchens to gardeners to cleaning servants.

Such a luxurious scene does not exist within the Changning Wang family. The small courtyard where Wang Shouzhe and Liu Ruolan lived had only a few servants who came regularly to clean it, plus two cooks.

Cleaning up the yard and planting flowers and plants were all done by Wang Shouzhe and his wife themselves.

However, the Daqian Wang family is the main line after all, and it is not Wang Shouzhe's turn to make irresponsible remarks. Once you've arrived, make peace with yourself and just follow the local customs.

In this Four Seasons Garden, there are peripheral rooms specially designed for the accommodation of subordinates, generals and others. After the subordinates who came with them had made their own arrangements, Wang Shouzhe personally took the three little ones to live in the inner courtyard.

At this moment, Wang Shouzhe and others finally had some private time to rest.

Wang Anye obediently handed fifteen red envelopes of dry gold tickets to Wang Shouzhe and said, "Grandpa, please keep this. I think Patriarch Yuchang's family is not very well off, so Grandpa, you probably want to pay it back. You can’t always pay for it yourself.”

Hearing this, Wang Shouzhe couldn't help but smile.

I remember that in his last life, when he was still a child, the red envelopes he received were only passed on. His parents either used it as an excuse to save it for him to get a wife, or they simply said they wanted to return it to relatives and children.

Unexpectedly, An Ye was so sharp and could infer from some details that the current Daqian Wang family was somewhat strong on the outside but strong on the inside.

But if this young man does this, he might offend someone~

As expected, Wang Yingxuan and Wang Lilong both glared at him.

You, Wang Anye, are a small rich man who is not short of money, but they are not~! I finally got a big wave of red envelopes, thinking I could save some money, but it turns out that I haven’t even covered the heat yet, so I have to hand it over to my parents. Can I not be angry?

Of course, they can also choose not to pay each other, but in this case, they will appear to be very unfilial.

"Xiao Qi, I suddenly remembered that there is a math problem that I can't solve. Let's go and have a chat in the woods nearby." Wang Yingxuan rolled her eyes, suddenly hugged An Ye's neck, and said with an amiable expression.

"Yes, yes, there are several questions that I can't solve." Wang Lilong also had a bad smile on his face, gearing up as he spoke.

"This... we can just teach here. Why go to the woods to do math problems?" Wang Anye looked cute and confused.

"Just go if I ask you to, what are you talking about!" Wang Yingxuan said slightly impatiently.

All right……

Wang Anye has a good temper.

Then, a bad girl took a bad girl dragon with her, and took Wang Anye to the nearby woods.

A moment passes.

Wang Yingxuan's screams came from the woods: "Hey Wang Anye! I'm your aunt! You're just fighting, and you even brought a magic weapon to summon the old man. Aren't you just bullying me for being poor? Ugh. Woo~~”

"Ji Wuchen, do you dare to interfere in my affairs?! Ouch, ouch~~ be gentle~~~ You old guy, if you do anything too lightly or too seriously, I will show my true colors! Wang Anye, you are too despicable. How shameless, you even used a bellyache curse in a fight. Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, I was wrong... Don't fight again, I was just joking with An Ye."

For a moment, energy burst out in the small forest, and it was really a thrilling moment.

A quarter of an hour later.

A girl and a girl dragon supported each other and returned to Wang Shouzhe's room. They were all beaten with bruises and swollen faces, crying and begging for treatment.

It's not that they were seriously injured, but they originally planned to go shopping and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the imperial capital.

Nowadays, with things like this, where can I still see people?

"Aunt Yingxuan, Aunt Lilong." Wang Anye followed one person and one dragon and said with a speechless face, "Whenever you want to make a joke in the future, remember to tell me first. My master, he has a severe stress reaction and needs to be prepared in advance. Say hello to him."

Say hello in advance~

The corners of Wang Yingxuan and Wang Lilong's mouths twitched.

Wang Shouzhe looked at this scene with a smile and never interfered from beginning to end.

How could Yingxuan and Lilong have expected that senior Ji Wuchen's soul is now very condensed, and it would not be easy to bully An Ye.

It's also a good time for these two bastards to learn a lesson, so that they don't become too lawless.

Taking this opportunity, Wang Shouzhe naturally took the red envelopes from the three people and said with a smile: "I will keep it for you first, and I will buy you some elixirs later."

Especially Yingxuan and Lilong, these two aunts are not good people.

With a huge sum of money in a gold-selling den like the Imperial Capital, they could float to the sky and probably spend it all within two days. It would be a waste of hard-earned money.

Wang Yingxuan and Wang Lilong's faces drooped, and tears almost burst out.

Fortunately, Wang Shouzhe handed each of them a small stack of gold tickets, which added up to tens of thousands of gold, which made them burst into laughter again.

As for Anye, I won’t give it to him. Even Wang Shouzhe couldn't figure out how much money was in this young man's Infinite Precious Ring. Giving him 12,000 gold is just an insult to him.

The teenage years are the most restless time.

Sure enough, on the second day, the three little ones couldn't bear the loneliness and went out to visit the imperial capital.

Daqian Wang family naturally attached great importance to this. In addition to letting Wang Annan accompany him, he also arranged for an elder from the Zifu realm to take care of him secretly.

As for Wang Shouzhe, he didn't come to the imperial capital just for fun.

This time, he had several major things to do, the first of which was to find a true method of cultivation for his family.

The so-called "true method" refers to the practice techniques that can directly lead to the realm of supernatural powers. For example, the "Liu Li Ming Wang Zhen Dharma" practiced by the two girls Luo Qiu and Li Ci is the inheritance of the Zhen Dharma.

Today, the Wang family's wealth and heritage have increased significantly in all aspects, and the number of great geniuses in the clan has shown a surge. The bloodline qualifications of ancestor Longyan and Ruolan have both reached the innate spirit level.

With their powerful qualifications and current cultivation level, it would only take thirty or forty years for them to break through to the Purple Mansion Realm.

High-grade skills can only be practiced until they break through the Purple Mansion Realm. If there is no suitable true method, they will not be able to continue practicing after they advance to the Purple Mansion Realm.

Even if you continue to practice with the original techniques, the speed of practice will become extremely slow.

Therefore, he must obtain a true inheritance method as soon as possible.

However, the inheritance of the true method is extremely important in any family or force, and it will never be passed on to others.

Wang Shouzhe is just a heretic from Zifu Academy. Being authorized to practice high-grade techniques such as "Changchun True Secret" is already the limit. If he wants to practice the complete true technique, he needs to join the Holy Land seriously.

But even Lingyun Holy Land only has nine complete true laws, and the nine veins of the Holy Land are derived from this.

Apart from Lingyun Holy Land, the Daqian royal family is the family with the most inheritance of true dharma, but it only possesses eight true dharma.

Fortunately, the Daqian Wang family is also an ancient family with a long history. It is said that the family has two true Dharma inheritances.

Wang Shouzhe thought about it and felt that this was the most convenient way to inherit the true Dharma from the Daqian Wang family, so he took the lead to give it a try.

…

An hour later.

In a lush jade bamboo forest, Wang Shouzhe and the head of the Yuchang family sat across from each other, drinking spiritual tea.

The head of the Yuchang family had a serious expression and looked a little embarrassed: "Shouzhe, do you know that for any high-ranking third-grade family, the inheritance of the true Dharma is a top priority."

"Although this matter is not comparable to the battle between emperor and son in the royal family, or the battle between saint and son in Lingyun Holy Land, not every clan member can practice it if they want to."

"Master Yuchang." Wang Shouzhe asked with a calm smile, "Although my Changning Wang family is only a branch of the Wang family, my body also has the blood of the founder of the clan, 'Dingxuan Ancestor'. I can't let my ancestors be outstanding. Bloodline heirs don’t have any real methods to practice, right?”

Although the Holy Land is also a road, everyone in the family cannot take the Holy Land road, right?

"Of course this is impossible." Yuchang family head shook his head hurriedly, "It's just that there has been no precedent for this matter before, and I don't dare to make the decision. How about we wait a few days and wait for our ancestors to come out of seclusion before discussing this matter? "

"When Shouzhe wrote to me earlier, I had already thought of a way to inform our ancestors. Counting the days, I should be out of seclusion in the next few days. At that time, my ancestors will take Shouzhe and you guys to pay homage to the ancestors of the Wang family."

"By the way~" Having said this, Wang Yuchang remembered something again, "Shouzhe, you mentioned in your last letter that the commander of the Seventh Army during the Shenwu Dynasty was called 'Wang Chuanwu'? That was a peak Lingxu figure. A big shot? But I looked through the family history materials and found that the Wang family's historical heritage can be traced back to more than 15,000 years ago at most, and it becomes blurry further back. The historical materials discovered by Shouzhe can be regarded as unearthed. The true inheritance of our Wang family is truly a great achievement."

"After I complete the inheritance record, I will personally go to the Immortal Dynasty to meet with several families from the same clan to discuss matters such as building an ancestral hall for the ancestors who passed down the martial arts."

"This is a big deal. If the ancestor of Chuanwu is still alive, he will be very happy for the prosperity of future generations." Wang Shouzhe's expression was also extremely serious, and he solemnly said, "Thanks to Patriarch Yuchang for all the hard work."

The head of the Yuchang family smiled: "It's all about our ancestors, so what's the point of not having to work hard?"

After that, the two looked at each other and said nothing.

…

When adults go on business trips to do business, when children go on a long trip, their main activity is naturally playing.

With Wang Anan, a familiar local snake, Wang Anye and others had a great time, and they were not afraid of being bullied. After all, except for a limited number of people, Wang Annan was afraid of almost no one among his peers.

As for big bullying of small things, it rarely happens in Shangjing City. After all, when young peers fight with each other, it is called fighting. Even if they lose, they are inferior in skill and have nothing to say.

But if the elder bullies the younger...whose family doesn't have any elders? If it really gets going, the fun will be great.

Wang Annan was very reluctant to play with the little kid at first, especially Wang Anye. He felt that the boy was not old, but he was not young.

But within half a day, he felt it smelled good.

Because he found that Wang Anye had two bad habits.

First, he likes to buy a bunch of things when he buys them, and everyone has a share.

Second, Wang Anye has a bad habit of giving rewards indiscriminately. You should give a reward if you buy a piece of clothing, you should give a reward if you see a beggar on the roadside, and you should give a reward if someone says a few kind words.

Wang Annan served Master Xiaoqi in front of and behind the horse, so naturally he was rewarded a lot. The more rewards he receives, the harder he will serve, and the harder he works, the more rewards he will receive.

Wang Annan happily discovered that he had entered a virtuous cycle, and he naturally became more and more willing to run errands for Anye.

"Xiao Qi, are you hungry? My brother will take you to the best restaurant in the capital - [Wanyao Restaurant]. Your brother Annan will treat you to this meal." After Wang Annan's wallet became more and more bulging, his self-confidence also began to expand. , patting his chest with a look of deep loyalty.

"Thank you, brother Annan." Wang Anye gave a slight bow and thanked him.

He is such a grateful character. If others are kind to him, he will return it a hundredfold.

"Nephew Annan, isn't it?" Wang Yingxuan asked doubtfully, "I heard that the most popular restaurant in the capital is called [Baiyun Tower]."

When he mentioned Baiyun Tower, Wang Annan's face turned black.

In that Baiyun Building, he experienced two large-scale social death scenes in a very short period of time, and it was simply unbearable to look back.

That place has become his lifelong nightmare.

"Baiyunlou is just a hype, relying on the reputation it created to raise the price of vegetables. It's very sinister." Wang Annan said plausibly, "We all the locals in the capital know that it is a deceptive restaurant, Prince Heng. The knife is too sharp."

"Forget it." Wang Anye frowned, "Then let's go to Wanyao Tower and have a taste."

Although he is not short of money, he does not like to be slaughtered as a fat sheep.

"Okay~ Xiaoqi, Aunt Yingxuan, Aunt Lilong, follow me." Wang Annan breathed a sigh of relief and finally hid.

However, before he could relax completely.

Suddenly.

A girl's clear and pleasant voice came from the side: "Wang Annan, I will tell Prince Heng exactly what you said later and see how he deals with you."

Wang Annan's face turned pale when he heard this, and he gasped and looked at the person who came: "It's you! Wu Xuening!"

"You want to call me Princess Xuening." The voice said dissatisfied.

Wang Xuanning, Wang Lilong, and Wang Anye followed Wang Annan's line of sight and saw a girl with a good temperament.

The girl looks to be only two or three years older than Wang Anye and Wang Yingxuan. She is wearing exquisite and luxurious clothes. She exudes natural nobility in every move she makes. However, because her eyebrows are particularly smart, she does not appear domineering. , but a bit weird.

The visitor turned out to be Wu Xuening, who was ranked second among the "Top Ten Outstanding Young People" in Shangjing City.

At this time, her figure was obviously much taller than two years ago. She was concave in places that should be concave and convex in places that should be convex. She had become a little beauty.

Not far behind her, there was also a young man holding a sword in his arms and with a restrained and steady aura.

He was wearing a green shirt, and he looked majestic and elegant. He seemed to be surrounded by a breeze, giving him a sense of elegance like a clear breeze and a bright moon.

This young man, without any surprise, was naturally Wu Zhixing who was dragged out by Wu Xuening.

At this moment, Wu Zhixing's expression was a little bitter.

Being caught by Aunt Xuening and going shopping with her was already a chore, but now she has to cause trouble again...

Wang Annan was just bragging, why bother arguing with him?

I, Wu Zhixing, just want to practice quietly. Why is it so difficult?

"Hey, those kids, well, there's that... dragon...!" Wu Xuening said, "Don't be fooled by Wang Annan. The food at Wanyao Restaurant is much worse than that at Baiyun Restaurant."

"Xiao Qi, she and the owner of Baiyun Tower are both from the royal family, so their hearts are naturally biased. There is no credibility in what they say. It's better to go to Wanyao Tower." Wang Annan didn't want to pay attention to Wu Xuening, and pulled Wang Anye away.

"Wait a minute! Wang Annan, weren't you killed twice in Baiyun Tower? If you want to blame it, you can only blame Wang Liyao of yours for not giving you face. Why bother venting your anger on Baiyun Tower?" Wu Xuening said dissatisfied, " I don’t care where you go to eat, but I can’t slander Baiyunlou to the outside world.”

"It has nothing to do with my Aunt Li Yao." Wang Annan's face turned dark, "I simply think the food at Baiyun Tower is not delicious. Why, your royal family is so awesome now? If you open a restaurant, no one else can say anything bad about it? "

The Daqian Wang family has been wearing small shoes for more than three thousand years. It is impossible to say that they have no resentment towards the royal family. At that time, Wang's ancestor Dingxuan was the right-hand man of Emperor Ziwei Xuandu, and they conquered the country together.

"Humph~ That's fine. Now that you have Wang Liyao's support, you are getting more courageous. When I succeed in my cultivation, I will definitely challenge Wang Liyao again at Baiyun Tower. Then I'll invite you to try Baiyu Tower's dishes." Wu Xuening's face looked a little pale. Unhappy, he crossed his hands and sneered, "When the time comes, you will definitely take back what you said today."

But she just finished speaking.

Wang Yingxuan, who had been silent next to Wang Annan, was unhappy. She jumped out and poked her waist and taunted: "Hey, hey~ Are you the green onion? A hairy girl with a big butt, you are not afraid of flashing your tongue when you talk big."

"Although my Aunt Li Yao's strength is just that, she's not like a wild girl like you who doesn't know the heights of the world and can step on her whenever she wants!"

…
