Yi Baifeng replied coldly: "I have told you before that I have nothing to do with the Yi family. I will never go back to that family again in this life. Elder Cao should hire someone else."

"Youth is full of energy, ah, haha. It's normal for you to have a falling out with your brother. Your teeth and tongues are still fighting. It's normal for brothers to have some troubles. Now times have changed. It's been almost twenty years. You

It’s time to let go of the anger in your chest. We are brothers after all, so why should we hold grudges? What do you think?"

Gao Ming couldn't bear to see the pig grunting there, so he snorted, got up and walked out.

He was also a little disappointed when he was still frightened. He had always been worried about the Jiangnan Alliance organized by Yi Mingfeng, but it was inappropriate for the Nanzhou General Manager's Office to come forward, and it would be even more embarrassing for the Beifu Division to come forward. He originally placed his hope on the Tianwu Association

He can come forward to solve the matter, but Cao Zhu is a big idiot, and he can't control anything. Yi Baifeng can't even hope for it. He and Yi Mingfeng colluded in secret despite their superficial disagreement.

Damn! As for Gao Ming, it seems that he is on his side, but this guy looks like a boy and talks like a girl, so what can he do?

While still frightened, I sighed in my heart. Ever since Lian Shilong was elected as the general leader of the Tianwu Association twenty years ago, the influence of the Tianwu Association in Jiangnan has been deteriorating. Lian Shilong was born in the Lian family of Nanhai and was quite famous in the Jiangnan area. At the same time, he was also

The secret deacon of the Beifu Division arranged for him to be the general leader of the Tianwu Association. Firstly, he wanted to continue Beifusi's control over the Tianwu Association. Secondly, he also wanted to use his connections to restore the influence of the Tianwu Association in Jiangnan. Unexpectedly, this man was very scheming.

, singing high-pitched words on the lips, but in private, he colluded with Yi Mingfeng and others, colluding with each other.

In doing so, he may not be betraying the Beifu Division or the Tianwu Association, but it has deviated far from the original intention of using him. Now that he has matured, there is really nothing he can do to him.

It's really unkind and self-defeating.

Everyone dispersed, and when Yu Shi was about to return home, he suddenly heard that Su Qinghe had sent someone to deliver a message. It was a refreshing young man who called himself Su Lang. Yu Shi took a look at the young man, and secretly sighed in his heart.

Surprised, Su Qinghe had a good eye. The man he chose looked energetic, much better than his two bastard sons. When he looked at the content of the invitation, he was surprised again and looked at the young man in front of him again.

After a while, he asked, "Mr. Su wants to accept you as his disciple. You are so lucky."

The young man held the ceremony very respectfully: "Thanks to the master who joined the army, the owner of the village looked favorably on me, but the boy was frightened."

Although he was still frightened, he smiled and said: "Being Mr. Su's apprentice is a good thing that many people dream of. You just need to do your best and live up to his expectations. There is no need to mention fear. People must know how to be grateful, but more importantly, they must be grateful.

Come on. Please report back to Master Su. I will be there on time on August 8th to attend your apprenticeship ceremony."

The most prosperous area in Pingjiang Prefecture is the south of Yinping Mountain in the northwest of the city, beside Longzi Lake. It has beautiful scenery, where rich and famous people gather, and where the most powerful and wealthy people in Nanzhou live. Among them, the old residence of the Su family occupies

The location is the best, with the mountains behind and the lake facing it, making it a quiet place in the middle of the hustle and bustle. As a century-old wealthy family, the Su family's old house is low-key and almost outrageous. The one-mile-long wall along the lake is monotonous and boring. Inside the wall, there are dense pines and cypresses, and it is quiet and peaceful.

There are so many tourists, not to mention the tourists from other places. Even the indigenous old people in Pingjiang Prefecture, eight out of ten do not recognize the wealth of the owner of this house, because the plaque on the main entrance of this house only reads two words.

Character: Su Zhai.

The rules of the Guangming Dynasty were very strict. There was a clear distinction between the officials and the people, and the barriers between the noble and the humble were strict. The government offices were called fu, yamen, departments, and temples, while the residences of the common people could only be called zhai.

However, with the passage of time, many rules have broken down, and now people's residences have begun to be called "mansion" to show the owner's extraordinary status. Even the vendors selling tea eggs on the street call their shops "sometimes".

A certain government said that their tea eggs are the best among eggs, exuding a strong royal temperament, and the quality is extraordinary and extraordinary.

There is a back garden covering an area of ​​about ten acres in the Su residence. There is a regular palace directly north of the garden. The decoration of the palace is simple, even a little rough. In front of the palace is a training ground with blue brick paving and weapon racks on the left and right.

Various weapons were displayed, but there was only one weapon in the main hall - the long sword.

Su Qinghe, the head of the Su Sect, is sitting in the upright position at this moment, surrounded by six disciples inside and outside. Sitting in the first row of guest seats on the left are the elders of our house and the Chief of the Yamen of Pingjiang Mansion.

and the local county magistrate, and in the second row are some of the most prestigious local gentry, government officials, and civil servants.

The guest seats on the right are some friends from the world. Headed in the first row are Shiyan, the head of the Qing family in Wumingshan, Feng Shizhen, the head of the Feng family in Shicheng, Lian Peiyin, the master of Yunfu Villa in Nanhai, and Feng, a famous member of the Shi family.

Shi Chun and four others.

The second row is mainly composed of juniors from the eight Jiangnan families: Qing Yuqiu, Qing Shigong, Feng Hanming, Qing Xiaoke, Wu Tianyou, Wu Keqin, Wu Kejian, Wu Kegong, Wu Kezhen, Yunzhongyue and others.

Su Lang was standing in the corridor in his attire. After listening to the thirteen precepts of the disciples read out by Su Xia, the senior brother of the Su family, he replied, "Disciple, I will obey them untiringly." Then he heard the ceremonial person calling him to go to the hall.

He stepped up to the hall and stood in front of Su Qinghe with his hands down.

As usual, Su Qinghe loudly asked Su Lang why he wanted to practice martial arts, why he wanted to join the Su clan, and how he would practice after joining.

These questions and answers have fixed routines, and there is not much room for free expression. Su Lang has already memorized the answers by heart, and now he recites them loudly in front of everyone, accurately.

After the question and answer, Su Mu, the second senior brother of the Su clan, held out a red lacquered wooden tray with a red silk base. There was a Su clan genealogy, two long and short swords and a disciple's waist badge.

Facing Su Qinghe, I respectfully ask the master to give me instructions.

Su Qinghe said loudly: "My family member, Su Lang, is smart, virtuous, and has a lot of potential. Qinghe has reported it to all the masters of the Ming Dynasty, and today he is accepted as his disciple. He is allowed to redeem himself."

The Su clan's family education is generally only passed down to the children within the clan, but it can also accept talents from outside the clan with good qualifications. Martial arts sects are connected by martial arts, and masters and apprentices have the same affection as father and son, and there should be no differences in status.

Bond. Therefore, at the beginning of accepting a disciple, it is essential to restore the status of his family member Su Lang as a good citizen.

Because of Su Qinghe's words, the apprenticeship ceremony was suspended, and the family (slave) Su Lang had to be expelled from his humble status first.

According to the laws of the Guangming Dynasty, if a lowly slave wanted to become a citizen, there were only two ways: the monarch pardoned him or he paid for his own redemption.

A domestic slave uses money to redeem himself, which is called self-redemption. Of course, the premise is that the family owner agrees. If the family owner does not agree, even the gold and silver mountains will be in vain.

The Su family is a wealthy family in the south of the Yangtze River, so the ransom cannot be too shabby. The amount ordered is thirty gold cakes.

In the currency system of the Guangming Dynasty, one gold cake can be exchanged for ten silver coins, and one silver coin can be exchanged for one hundred copper coins. This was customized by the imperial court. In fact, because gold is in short supply on the market, one gold cake can generally be exchanged for fifteen or sixteen silver coins.

, but the exchange ratio between silver coins and copper dollars is very stable. In other words, a piece of gold cake can be exchanged for fifteen or six hundred copper dollars.

Su Lang's monthly salary when he was at the farm was 430 copper yuan, which could buy about 450 bowls of beef noodles. After he was promoted to general manager and assistant manager in the city, his monthly salary increased to 800 copper yuan, which was considered high even in the wealthy Pingjiang Mansion.

Income class.

Thirty gold cakes were quickly presented. The Su family's accountant and elders inspected their quality and judged them to be first-class products.

Upon seeing this, the county officials began to prepare relevant documents.

Su Qinghe originally wanted to accept Su Lang as his adopted son, but because of Mrs. Yi's dissuasion, he changed his mind and kept Su Lang in the house for observation for a period of time. He would accept Su Lang as his disciple after the appraisal conference was over, and then decide whether to accept him as his adopted son.

Unexpectedly, the situation suddenly changed and Qing Xiaoke stayed in Su Lang's dormitory for the night. Although Su Qinghe firmly believed that nothing happened between them, the fact that the children of the Qing family met with the slaves of the Su family at night had reached the ears of Qing Shiyan, the head of the Qing family.

Here, that stubborn donkey might be able to tear down their Su family's signboard.

Therefore, Su Qinghe decided to take the first step and seriously accept Su Lang as his disciple and give him an identity. In this way, even if Qing Shiyan knew about this, he would have nowhere to go if he wanted to get angry: Qing Xiaoke

She is just a side branch of the Qing family. Even if something happened between her and the disciples of the Su clan, it was just a nonsense between two children.

I miss you, Qing Shiyan, who is pretentious, has your eyes above your head, and boasts that you never take secular ethics into consideration. Your own romantic affair when you were married to your son is still a good talk in the world. Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you.

Man, why do you blame Qing Xiaoke, and why do you bully me, a descendant of the Su clan?

So at the end of the matter, it was just that the Su family paid a betrothal gift, the Qing family paid a dowry, and the marriage was carried out in a glorious manner. They were well-matched, they were in love, and no one suffered any loss.

Su Lang had no idea about this scheming. Su Qinghe wanted to accept him as his disciple, but he had no objection. Although Su Qinghe's cultivation was very average and could not give him the guidance he needed, the Su family was, after all, a century-old wealthy family with a strong family background.

There are still some. After becoming a disciple of the Su family, he can practice openly and openly, and no longer need to be secretive. Even if he breaks through the realm and surpasses his master that day, it is because the ancestors of the Su family have deep blessings and Su Qinghe's teachings are good.

Disciples are blessed if they work hard, and no one should doubt him.

What makes Su Lang even more happy is that the Su Clan martial arts also belongs to the Qi Control lineage, which is consistent with what he practiced in his previous life. After joining the Su Clan, he can package the Guangyang Sect's Kung Fu with Su Clan martial arts. Guangyang

Zong is the master of the Qi Control lineage, and its techniques are the most pure, which means that at least before the level, it is difficult for outsiders to see the flaws in it.

As for the future...

Su Lang didn't think much about it. After all, becoming a Liu Shi was not something he should consider for the time being. It was too far away, insignificant and unreachable.

The county government official completed the documents for the transfer of citizenship, submitted them to his superiors for review, and then submitted them to Su Qinghe for review. The Su family had made great contributions to the imperial court, and the heads of the successive dynasties all bore imperial titles and official titles. Officials at the county and county levels

Very respectful to Su Qinghe.

The head of the Su family, Su Qinghe, signed the document in front of everyone, agreeing that the slave Su Lang would pay for his own redemption and leave his humble status. The local elder signed the document as evidence and submitted the copy to the government office for review. The officials of the government office reviewed it on the spot.

It was agreed that Su Lang, a slave of the Su family, would redeem himself as a citizen. Accordingly, the county officials made a new household registration for Su Lang.

When the county official asked Su Qinghe about Su Lang's real name, Su Qinghe pondered for a moment, looked at Qing Shiyan's niece Qing Yuqiu in front of everyone, and replied to the official: "I am very fond of this child.

I value him and allow him to restore his original name."

Everyone nodded and praised Su Qinghe for his enlightenment.

The literary official then asked Su Lang what his name was. Su Lang wanted to tell him his original name, but he finally said to Su Qinghe seriously: "The Su family has given me a new life. This kindness and virtue are not to be tolerated."

Forgot, how dare you change your name?"

Obviously, all parties are very satisfied with this result.

The official then solemnly wrote the word "Su Lang" in the household registration column.
Chapter completed!
