After a long time, hurried footsteps were heard in the distance. A woman in her late fifties, accompanied by a young man, walked quickly towards the courtyard. When she saw Gongsun Yan, she hurried into the courtyard and walked in a series of steps.
Asked:
"Master Xian, are you Huang'er's friend? Where is my Huang'er now? How is she doing? What does Master Xian want from me?"
Hearing this, Gongsun Yan knew that this was Guan Huang's mother. She looked somewhat similar to Guan Huang, and she was also a stunningly beautiful woman when she was young.
He didn't know what to say for a moment, and he couldn't even decide what to call him. After pondering for a moment, he bowed and saluted:
"Madam, my name is Gongsun Yan, and I am Guanhuang's junior brother. Everything is fine with Guanhuang! Can you lend me a moment to speak?"
"Okay! Please speak in the room, Yu'er, go and make a bowl of tea for Immortal Master Gongsun!"
After all, Zhilin was someone who had seen the scene before. Although she had just met Gongsun Yan and missed her daughter so much that she was a little confused, she calmed down and could still handle it with ease.
When they came to the row of wooden houses, Gongsun Yan followed Guanhuang's mother and walked in. Although the interior was low, it was very neat and tidy. Although the furniture was simple, it was complete with tables and chairs.
Zhilin asked Gongsun Yan to sit down at the table. The young man brought a bowl of tea and left the room immediately.
Gongsun Yan estimated that this person was Shangguan Yu, Guan Huang's biological brother.
Seeing Gongsun Yan sitting down, Zhilin got straight to the point and asked:
"Master Immortal, it's quiet now. Do you have anything to tell me?"
Gongsun Yan thought about it for a moment and said in a deep voice:
"Oh, madam, my name is Gongsun Yan, and I am Senior Sister Guanhuang's junior brother. You don't have to be so polite, just call me by my first name."
"What's the matter? You are all cultivators of immortality. We mortals should respect you very much. Let's do this. I will call you Young Master!"
"Oh, I'm here for no other reason. Here are some things that Senior Sister asked me to bring to you. Please keep them."
Gongsun Yan said, and took out twenty thousand taels of silver notes and ten thousand taels of gold notes. To a mortal, this was a huge sum of money, but to him, it was now a trivial matter.
Seeing this, Zhilin took it directly and kept it. They were in a difficult period now, and this money could not only meet their immediate needs, but also help them start a small business.
Seeing this, Gongsun Yan breathed a sigh of relief. He took out another bottle of elixir and handed it to Zhilin:
"There are two pills here, one is the 'Yanzhu Dan' and the other is the 'Life Extension Pill'. They are only effective for women. Taking them by men will be harmful! Mrs. Zhi must not give them to people indiscriminately. In addition, Senior Sister asked me to warn
You, people are not old now, there is no harm in leaving yourself a way out in everything. Madam, please don’t take out all the money at once, but leave more for yourself."
Of course Gongsun Yan didn't want Shangguan Wujia to benefit, so he said deliberately.
Hearing this, Zhilin frowned slightly and asked with some confusion:
"Didn't Huang'er give the young master a few more pills? She won't forget her father and brother, right?"
"Oh, no! Senior sister only asked me to give you these two pills. These are difficult to obtain. She also said that it would be best for me to watch you take them and then help you refine them. As for her father and brother, senior sister said that she
I'm thinking of ways to get it, and I think I'll get it soon. Now I'll help you refine it, and please take it quickly, madam!" Gongsun Yan said nonsensically.
Hearing this, Zhilin suddenly realized that he was there. She quickly followed Gongsun Yan's instructions and took two pills. Gongsun Yan helped her refine them.
After doing all this, the two came to the yard and saw three people standing in the yard. A woman slightly older than Zhilin was standing next to Shangguan Wujia. Gongsun Yan estimated that this woman was Guan Huang's aunt, Shangguan
Leopard's mother.
Gongsun Yan didn't say anything to them. He directly jumped into the air and floated away.
Seeing this, Shangguan Wujia and others immediately showed a look of fear on their faces, as if they did not dare to offend such an immortal who came and went without a trace, he then looked at Zhilin and asked:
"Lin'er, does he know Huang'er? What did he say to you? He seems to be hostile to me!"
"He claims to be Huang'er's junior brother and has sent us money."
Zhilin said, taking out the 20,000 taels of silver notes, but not the gold notes. Since Huang'er didn't want her to take out all of them, she would go on slowly first.
Upon seeing this, Shangguan Wujia was overjoyed and said:
"Ah! That's great! Huang'er hasn't forgotten us. Let's pack up quickly and go live in the city. With this money, we can do some things well."
Hearing this, Zhijun and Zhilin both frowned, and Zhijun said:
"Master, do we really want to go back to the city? I think it's good to live here. The mountains and clear waters are beautiful, far away from the hustle and bustle, and there are so many fewer worries!"
"Oh, although the environment here is good, it is not a place to stay for a long time. If this continues, there will be no chance of getting ahead! Yu'er is still young, and it is not suitable to live here for a long time! As the saying goes, thirty years in the east of Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, you can spend more time outside.
, my Shangguan family may not be able to make a comeback!"
Shangguan Wujia said, with a tone that said he was unwilling to live under others for a long time, and his heart never grows old, and his expression showed a lonely look of unwillingness.
"Master, if you want to leave, you can go! I will stay here."
After Zhijun finished speaking, she turned back to the room. She was already disheartened. Both her sons, Shangguan Hu and Shangguan Bao, died on the northern border. The family also suffered great changes. Her daughter was far away in the royal city. She just wanted to hide in the countryside.
Live your old age peacefully and have no desire to join the world.
"Master, if you want to go to the city, then let Yu'er accompany you to the city. I am here to accompany the second sister. This is eighteen thousand taels of silver notes. Yu'er, please keep it and follow your father.
Let's go to the city, the two thousand taels left by my mother are enough."
After saying that, without waiting for Shangguan Wujia and Shangguan Yu to reply, she left directly to accompany her sister.
Upon seeing this, Shangguan Wujia shook his head. He knew the tempers of the two sisters, so he didn't say anything more. The father and son immediately prepared to leave the place.
After Gongsun Yan left Lishan, his depressed mood finally eased somewhat. Although he was very conflicted about Guan Huang, he was completely benevolent and righteous towards her mother.
He knew clearly that if he supported Guanhuang's mother at this time, the final benefit would most likely fall on Shangguan Wujia, and he would be in danger of endangering the enemy, but he still did it in order to help Guanhuang show his filial piety.
In the evening of that day, Gongsun Yan returned to Lushui Town. After thinking again and again, he took Yi Rui to his mother and told her everything about him and Guan Huang, including the relationship between Guan and Huang.
The thing that saved him once.
After Feng Yi heard about this, she remained silent for a long time. Then she got up and walked out of the living room. Looking at the direction of Gongsun Yan's father's tomb, she said in a deep voice:
"Yan'er, you are all adults. You don't need to discuss many things with your mother. You can decide everything on your own, as long as your father in heaven is satisfied."
