"Wow, candied haws."

Tang Yaoyao saw at a glance that the red hawthorns were wrapped in crystal sugar, and the big eyes were shining with gold.

Shen Xingliu dodged Tang Yaoyao's little hand that wanted to grab it and joked: "Hey, if you want to eat candied haws, you have to call someone first, right?" After saying that, he looked at her with a smirk on his face.

Tang Yaoyao turned her face unconvinced, shook Tang Xuanxuan's arm, and said coquettishly: "Sister, look at him bullying me."

Tang Xuanxuan couldn't do anything with these two "living treasures", so she held her forehead and smiled bitterly.

"Look at these red hawthorns. No one is eating them, so I won't be polite." Shen Xingliu opened his mouth wide and pretended to eat.

"No, no, no, no," Tang Yaoyao couldn't shake Tang Xuanxuan anymore, so she could only wave her hands and compromise: "Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, just give it to me."

Shen Xingliu smiled with a smile on his face, nodded and said: "Be good, I'll give it to you."

Tang Xuanxuan took the candied haws, pinched the back of his hand, and gave him a look, urging him to get out quickly.

Tang Yaoyao took the candied haws from her hand as if she had found a treasure, stuck out her tongue to Shen Xingliu, and hummed.

"You are the big bad guy!"

Shen Xingliu scratched his head, exited the carriage with a chuckle, closed the carriage curtain, and drove the horse.

Under the leadership of Tang Qiubai and a group of guards, they drove towards the downtown area of ​​Yuzhou City.

Pang Junde saw Shen Xingliu smiling and couldn't help but give him a thumbs up.

Gao, can you take care of your sister-in-law just like this?

Shen Xingliu winked at Pang Junde proudly, as if he was talking trivially and in a low-key manner.

"Young Master Shen, is this your first time in Yuzhou City?" Tang Qiubai said as he led the way.

"Yes, this is my first time traveling far away." Shen Xingliu was also happy to chat with others and said, "Brother Qiu Bai, please introduce me to him."

"Shen Shaoxia, I can't bear the word "brother". Why don't you call me Xiao Qiubai?"

Tang Qiubai had had a lively chat with Pang Junde before. He also knew some of Shen Xingliu's deeds and admired him very much.

"Xiao Qiubai? You're so twisted." Shen Xingliu laughed. The former looked to be in his twenties.

Shen Xingliu patted his chest with one hand and said, "Brother Qiu Bai, if you regard me as one of your own, you can call me whatever you want. Don't call me Young Hero, just call me Brother Shen."

Tang Qiubai did not refuse, and cupped his fists at him and said, "That's fine, Brother Shen."

I gradually grew fond of this future eldest uncle of the Tang family.

"Hahaha, that's right," Shen Xingliu said with a smile, "This Yuzhou City is so lively."

Tang Qiubai introduced: "Yes, Brother Shen, do you see the largest bank? That is also the property of the Tang family, and there, there."

"I'll go, there are so many." Shen Xingliu said in surprise. The two of them in the car together are still a little rich woman?

"What does this mean?" Tang Qiubai said proudly, "This is just from this street."

"Most of the pawnshops, banks, silk shops and restaurants in Yuzhou City are owned by my Tang family, and a small part of them are also participated by the Tang family."

Shen Xingliu listened with a numb look on his face, "No, I can't let others see me as a "white-faced" who eats soft food.

I want to fight and save money!

"Brother Shen, Brother Shen?" Tang Qiubai shouted when he saw Shen Xingliu distracted.

"Ah, oh, it's almost there? Right." Shen Xingliu woke up and turned around and said.

"Yes, it's just ahead." Tang Qiubai said when he saw the door of the Tang family slowly opening.

Shen Xingliu drove his carriage to the door of the Tang Mansion, and saw a fat middle-aged man walking out with his head lowered, followed by the servants and maids, each standing in a row.

Tang Xuanxuan was helped out of the carriage by Shen Xingliu. She looked at the familiar door of Tang's house and suddenly smiled.

Tang Yaoyao tried to kick Shen Xingliu, but he was already on guard and dodged far away. She wrinkled her nose and said "hum", then jumped out of the carriage with a smile.

"Congratulations to welcome the eldest lady back home!" the fat butler said with cupped hands, as did the servants and maids.

When Tang Xuanxuan saw the butler, she immediately ran to shout: "Uncle butler? Are you uncle butler? Why have you changed your appearance?"

The fat butler narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Time flies by, ten years have passed, and the eldest lady is as tall as an old slave. I am also old."

"No, uncle the housekeeper is getting more and more handsome." Tang Xuanxuan stuck out her tongue and said mischievously.

The fat butler laughed loudly and said, "Miss, please don't make fun of me anymore. The master of the house is waiting for you in the ancestral hall."

"Dad," Tang Xuanxuan recalled the face she hadn't seen for a long time, probably five years, and said, "I'm going right away. Please take good care of my friend, Uncle Butler."

Tang Xuanxuan waved to Pang Junde to come forward, took Shen Xingliu's hand, and ran towards the ancestral hall.

"It's great to be young." The fat butler had received the report from Tang Qiubai and others early, so he was naturally not too surprised by this scene.

The servants and maids took a few more glances at the future new uncle, surprised by the heroic spirit that the latter showed inadvertently.

"Brother Pang, I'm more than ten years older, so I'll call you brother." The fat butler, who knew Pang Junde well, cupped his fists and said, "My surname is Tang and my name is Ren."

"That's right, brother Tang Ren." Pang Junde clasped his fists and returned the greeting.

"Hahaha, let's go, let's chat." Tang Ren took Pang Junde's wrist and walked into the house in a good mood.

Before leaving, he gave instructions: "Go and clean up the young lady's yard, and then clean up a room for the uncle. Please take into account their mood."

"yes!"

The servants and maids responded that they were all people served by Tang Xuanxuan, and they were brought here to recognize them.

When Tang Xuanxuan came to the ancestral hall, she paused, not daring to knock on the door and enter.

Shen Xingliu squeezed her sweaty little hands. Her father, whom she had not seen for several years, was behind the door. Naturally, he could understand her inner nervousness.

Shen Xingliu wanted to knock on the door for her, but she pulled her down. She lowered her head slightly, took a deep breath and finally gathered the courage, because she wanted to tell her father her story in the mountains and introduce him to her father.

"Hoola! Hoola!"

Just as Tang Xuanxuan was about to knock on the door and go in, a wooden kite flew out from the ancestral hall, crossed the high wall and landed in front of her. She subconsciously caught the wooden kite.

"Is this a small wooden kite?" Shen Xingliu asked curiously. The wooden kite was exquisitely made. Although there were signs of wear and tear between the parts, it was well maintained by its owner.

Tang Xuanxuan stared blankly at the wooden kite in her hand, nodded and said: "This is my wooden kite, my favorite toy before." As she said this, tears burst out of her eyes, and she kept rubbing her face with one little hand.

"Crack!"

A middle-aged man hurriedly chased the wooden kite, looking panicked as if he had lost a precious treasure.

The man is now the head of the Tang family, Tang Zhuohang. He opened the door and looked around.

Tang Zhuohang saw the woman holding the wooden kite at a glance and murmured: "Xuanxuan? Is she my Xuanxuan?"

Tang Xuanxuan could no longer bear the emotion in her heart, so she handed the wooden kite to Shen Xingliu, ran towards Tang Zhuohang with a cry, and knelt down in front of the latter with a "plop".

"Daddy, daddy, I'm back," Tang Xuanxuan kept shouting: "My daughter is unfilial, and now she has become a master!"

Tang Zhuohang hurriedly supported Tang Xuanxuan, crying and saying: "It's my Xuanxuan, just come back, just come back."

"It's dad's fault. He shouldn't have sent you so far away!"

Tang Zhuohang and Tang Xuanxuan cried bitterly together, feeling very unhappy. It seemed that all the years of grievances had been vented, just like when a river bursts its embankment, people are sad when they hear it, and shed tears when they see it.

Shen Xingliu stood not far away with red eyes, but with a smile on his lips. He was happy to see the father and daughter reunited.

The father and daughter cried loudly, and after a stick of incense, they finally stopped crying, but Tang Xuanxuan was still crying.

"Good boy, let's pay homage to our ancestors first and offer a stick of incense." Tang Zhuohang wiped away his daughter's tears and held her forearm, saying.

Tang Xuanxuan cried until her nose was red. She kept fanning her right hand, hoping to dry up her tears quickly, and she kept taking deep breaths.

"Okay, whatever daddy says, my daughter will do it." Tang Xuanxuan saluted.

Tang Zhuohang nodded and said with a smile: "I wonder, Young Master Shen, can we watch the ceremony together?"

Shen Xingliu was stunned. No one other than a member of the clan was allowed to enter the ancestral hall.

He still understands this rule. Thinking about his relationship with Tang Xuanxuan, he knows it clearly. It seems that the old man regards me as one of his own.

"In this case, I will obey the orders of my elders." Shen Xingliu said respectfully.

Tang Zhuohang held Tang Xuanxuan with one hand and Shen Xingliu with the other as they walked towards the ancestral hall.

No one pushes or pulls the door of the ancestral hall, and it closes automatically when a gust of wind blows.

In the ancestral hall, there are tablets dedicated to the ancestors of the Tang family, and there are three portraits.

They are all extremely talented and beautiful people, and one of them is the founder of the Tang family.

Tang Xuanxuan knelt on the futon, while Shen Xingliu stood to one side.

Tang Zhuohang lit three pillars of incense, placed it on his forehead and bowed deeply three times. He pinched the incense and placed it on his chest, saying: "The ancestors of the Tang family are here."

"Tang Zhuohang, the unworthy descendant, has not succeeded in becoming the head of the Tang Sect. Fortunately, his daughter Tang Xuanxuan has returned from the Yaowang Valley. I hereby express my gratitude to everyone and protect you from my ancestors."

After Tang Zhuohang finished speaking, he looked at Tang Xuanxuan.

She knelt down on the futon and kowtowed three times. The former handed three sticks of incense to Tang Xuanxuan.

He stood up, bowed three times, and put the incense in the incense burner.

When Tang Zhuohang saw his daughter who had grown up, he stroked his beard happily and said, "Xuanxuan, you have suffered a lot these years."

"It's not hard. It's what a daughter should do for the sake of Tang Clan." Tang Xuanxuan shook her head.

"Yao'er, you were still young before and didn't know the purpose of being a father." Tang Zhuohang sighed with his hands behind his back, "It seems you know now?"

"Master has already told me," Tang Xuanxuan murmured, brushing her bangs on her forehead, "You want me to learn the master's secret skill, Qingmu Jue."

Tang Zhuohang didn't expect that she really knew, and said with a bitter look on his face: "Yes, our Tang Sect is different from the past. The Tang Sect is now weak. Several generations of people have not been able to pass the test left by their ancestors, obtain the Tang Sect Treasures, and become the Tang Sect."

Master of the Gate."

"Fortunately, the Tang family heard about the existence of Qingmujue. For the sake of the Tang clan, my father reluctantly sent you to Yaowang Valley."

Tang Zhuohang looked at the sky outside, his thoughts seemed to go back to the past.
