"Good baby, listen to your mother and don't make trouble in her belly."
On a sunny afternoon, the breeze from the West Lake blew into the small villa. Lin Zitong was sitting on the sofa reading a maternal and infant book. A red rope was tied around her fair neck, and a concentric knot hung at the end of the red rope.
, the warm jade on the concentric knot exudes a faint light, waxing and waning rhythmically like breathing.
Wen Yuxian floated aside, unable to help but say a few words to her unborn grandson from time to time.
Although Wen Yuxian is also a woman who has given birth to a child, and knows that the child in Lin Zitong's belly is not as big as an egg, she still can't help but talk to herself.
Lin Zitong couldn't help laughing and said: "Grandma, you are too nervous. I still can't feel the presence of my child."
A few days ago, Lu Jing lifted the seal on the child, and Lin Zitong was able to continue to conceive the small embryo in her belly.
The family seems to have returned to the same atmosphere as when they first learned about Lin Zitong's pregnancy. They care about Lin Zitong in every possible way. When they see Lin Zitong, they instinctively take another look at her belly.
Lin Zitong has a good figure, and there is no sign of pregnancy at all now, but Wen Yuxian is not a mortal, she can feel the slowly growing little life in Lin Zitong's belly.
Wen Yuxian said regretfully: "I have a lot of yin energy, otherwise I should really cook and make soup for you to replenish your body."
Yan Shouyi's mother died young. In this family, no one could give Lin Zitong the care and love from her mother-in-law. Perhaps to make up for this regret, Wen Yuxian often followed Lin Zitong to greet her after she came back.
"Grandma, if you can stay with your child, he will be very satisfied." Lin Zitong was considerate and enlightened Wen Yuxian.
The two fell silent. Wen Yuxian seemed to be recalling Yan Shouyi's mother when she was pregnant, while Lin Zitong lowered his head and continued reading maternal and infant books.
The Lushan Sect is gradually getting on the right track, and the Folklore Research Association has also begun to work hard. Yan Shouyi and Lin Zitong have been very busy these days, and sometimes they can't even see each other for a whole day.
Although Lin Zitong likes to pester Yan Shouyi, she also knows the right time. Now that the research association is on the rise, she is busy with the affairs of the Lushan Sect. It is fine that she cannot share the pressure for Yan Shouyi, let alone give Yan Shouyi.
Increase pressure.
During her busy life, in her spare time, she could read mother and baby books to prepare for becoming a mother in the future, which gave her a feeling of peace and tranquility.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, footsteps came from outside the door.
Lin Zitong was overjoyed and put down her books to go out, only to see Yan Shouyi walk into the living room with his eyebrows furrowed and his head lowered.
"What happened?" Lin Zitong asked with concern.
Wen Yuxian raised his hand in the air, the refrigerator door opened, and a bottle of ice mineral water floated in front of Yan Shouyi.
As soon as Yan Shou took it, he drank it down in one gulp, which not only eliminated the heat, but also cooled down the irritability in his heart.
He took a breath and said, "There were three new partners who were coming over today. I sent Lin Yu to pick them up at the airport, but they didn't arrive."
Lin Zitong said in surprise: "Are you blaming Lin Yu for not doing things well?"
She felt strange in her heart. She knew Lin Yu's ability to do things, so logically there would be no problems.
Even if something goes wrong, with Yan Shouyi's character, he should be thinking about how to solve the problem instead of going home with a sad face.
So there must be other reasons here.
Sure enough, Yan Shouyi shook his head and said it was not Lin Yu's problem.
"Why is that?"
"Those three people didn't come, so they let us go."
"This..." Lin Zitong was speechless for a moment.
In the past few days, descendants of folk sects have been coming to the seminar one after another. Yan Shou treated them warmly, provided them with free food and accommodation, and personally took them to familiarize themselves with the environment of Rongcheng.
This is the first time that this kind of thing has happened after making an agreement.
Wen Yuxian comforted her kindly: "Maybe they haven't made a decision yet, so they didn't come at the moment."
"If it were just like that, I wouldn't be bothered," Yan Shouyi sighed, "Everyone has his or her own ambitions. Some people share the same goals as us. If they join the research association, there will be some people who won't deal with us. I won't force it."
He paused and said: "But these three new partners were very satisfied with our seminar. In the end, they didn't come because someone blocked them."
Obstruction?!
Could it be Li Genmiao?
The expressions of Lin Zitong and Wen Yuxian gradually became serious.
It is indeed impossible for Li Genmiao to leave the Folklore Research Association alone. After all, he can also expect that the Folklore Research Association will be the number one enemy of his New Xuanshan School in the future.
Suppression is inevitable.
"It's not the New Xuanshan Sect," Yan Shouyi said, "There are actually some scattered civil sects in various regions. Those three people in Ezhou had different ideas from the local civil sects and wanted to join us, but at the last moment they refused.
Refuse to let him go."
"So that's it."
Lin Zitong breathed a sigh of relief. If it weren't for Li Genmiao, things wouldn't be so troublesome.
The other party refused to let him go, so at most the two sides could communicate and discuss it, but if it was Li Genmiao who intervened, a fight with knives and guns would be inevitable.
Yan Shouyi sat on the sofa, rubbed his eyebrows, and sighed:
"Actually, things like this have happened frequently these days. I never expected that the first obstacle to the growth of the research association was not Li Genmiao, but the civil sect organizations in various places."
Wen Yuxian snorted coldly and said: "They don't have the ability to keep people, and they don't want people to leave. They are simply incompetent and shameless!"
The human heart is a very complicated thing that cannot be explained clearly in a few words. The Folklore Research Association will encounter more similar troubles in the future.
"What are you going to do next?" Lin Zitong asked.
Yan Shouyi replied: "The temporary plan is for me to call the other party in person to negotiate and see if they are willing to sell me a favor."
"What if they don't give me face?"
"The worst case scenario is to buy it with money. If the money still doesn't work... just send Xiaolong and the others to rob people!" Yan Shouyi showed a rare act of dominance.
The Xinxuanshan Sect continues to grow. If the folk sects cannot unite as one, in the future, both the Folklore Research Association and the folk sect organizations in various places will only become cannon fodder under Li Genmiao's feet.
Therefore, Yan Shouyi will also take some necessary measures when necessary, but everything will follow the principle of courtesy first and war second.
Wen Yuxian said: "It means your father has gone into seclusion, otherwise people in the world will give him some face. You have just made your name now, and it will not be useful to those old people in the world."
Yan Qiu went into seclusion three days ago, and the date of his release is temporarily uncertain. Therefore, the entire folklore research association is now led by Yan Shouyi, Wang Jichang is the second in command, and the rest are responsible for assisting. However, there are still some important matters.
The right to participate in deliberative voting.
After Yan Shouyi rested for a while, Wang Ji went to call for people outside the courtyard again.
Yan Shou invited Wang Ji in, and Wang Ji said with an ugly face: "Today I went to the station to pick up the coffin bearer from Yuzhou, but the pick-up was empty."
"It seems that he has been let off again," Yan Shouyi sighed, "It doesn't matter, let's contact the other party again to see if he has any difficulties."
Wang Jixiang shook his head and said in a deep voice: "But when I came back, I found that the coffin bearer had already arrived at the door of our seminar."
"Huh?" Yan Shouyi frowned, feeling that Wang Ji might have something to say next.
Sure enough, Wang Jixiang said angrily: "The coffin bearer was seriously injured and was thrown at the door of our seminar covered in blood!"
