Hanyuan was very dilapidated. Xiao Tianming could not walk in even after standing at the door. There were dense thorns, wild weeds, and not even a decent path. It is hard to imagine that such a large family still has such a dilapidated courtyard.
, it is really unbelievable. Perhaps, this is a sign of the decline of the Xiao family.
Think about what Xiao Shan, the acting head of the family, said before leaving: "My dear nephew, it's getting late, so don't go back today. My uncle's family is not big and only has a courtyard left. My dear nephew, I'll just make do with it. Come here."
, take your nephew to Hanyuan to rest!"
The indifferent butler sprang out from nowhere and took the order: "Master, are you sure it's Hanyuan?"
"You bastard, if there is another courtyard at home, should I let my nephew use it? Hey, the family is in decline, the family is unfortunate, the family is unfortunate!" Xiao Shan spoke righteously immediately without blinking. His helpless distress was still vivid in his mind.
Head.
Xiao Tianming didn't know where Hanyuan was at that time. He thought it was an older courtyard and the travelers didn't care, so he didn't say anything. Now that he thought about it, this conversation was quite meaningful. He had been tricked again.
Thinking of Xiao Shan's performance, even I have to admire him: the best actor is just like that, and many actors are weak.
The indifferent butler led Xiao Tianming to the front door and stopped walking (nor could he go in). He casually said in a formulaic manner: "This is Hanyuan, please rest, sir." He turned around and left without even a moment.
He didn't want to stay longer. In his eyes, those who were assigned to Hanyuan by the master would never have a bright future. There was no value in fawning over him.
Xiao Tianming watched the indifferent butler leave without saying a word. At this point, Xiao Shan's suspicion and disgust towards him were obvious, and he did not need to confirm anything. After such an encounter, Xiao Tianming breathed a sigh of relief.
It was originally meant to be settled. If the other party did this, he would have no scruples in cutting off the cause and effect. If he treated each other with courtesy or even extended favors, it would be inconvenient to escape. It is a pity that the dignified head of the Xiao family is so narrow-minded.
He is vicious-hearted, has no strict control over his subordinates, and has unhealthy morals. The Xiao family can only prosper for two generations, and will turn into dust after a hundred years. What a tragedy! What a tragedy!
Turning his head and looking at the wild grass in the courtyard, Xiao Tianming smiled slightly. This might be a trouble for ordinary people, but he was a magician, so he just set a fire and burned it. The only purpose was to humiliate this person whom he had only met once.
He's just his nephew. He raised his right hand slightly, and the spell rippled out like water.
He is just an intermediate magician, so a little damage caused by a missed spell is nothing, right? After all, he is also a "nephew". Xiao Tianming had a wicked smile on his face, preparing to destroy several gorgeously decorated courtyards around him.
He also had a bad breath.
"Magician Xiao! Magician Xiao!" Before the magic could be used, a shout came from not far away. Xiao Tianming canceled the magic and turned around pretending to be dissatisfied with Han Yuan and feeling depressed.
Is it him? Things are getting more interesting.
…
Xiao Zheng's mood was extremely complicated.
The old man’s instructions are to receive the guests in the main hall, serve the guests, stay in Fangfei Garden, meet all the requirements of Magician Xiao, and even prepare to send several girls from the Xiao family to sleep with him. With such specifications, he can only entertain domestic dignitaries or powerful people.
Only then is it qualified.
It happened that the old man entered the palace, but things changed when he arrived at the head of the Dai family: reception in the study, cold confrontation, and banishment to Hanyuan. The beautiful girl originally scheduled was lying in the room of the head of the Dai family at this time. This was far beyond the "yin and yang"
It was beyond the scope of "violation". It was simply a challenge to Mr. Xiao, and it offended a young hero for no reason.
How could the acting head of the family be so unwise! It's a pity that the eldest young master died unexpectedly, otherwise, it would never have been his turn as "Xiao Lao Er"!
Who is Magician Xiao? A young hero who joined Xianqin Academy at a young age. However, he only has the strength of a fifth-level magician. When he first entered the school, he was only a third-level or fourth-level magician. He could not meet the standards of Ruzhi at all.
He has no grades in school, and there is no hope of advancing to the Holy Realm in this life. Xiao Laoer, are you offended because he didn't give up his military exploits to your son who does all kinds of evil, eats and waits for death?
However, don’t you think about it, how many people have been able to join Xianqin Academy before the coming-of-age ceremony? How many people have been able to join Xianqin Academy before the coming-of-age ceremony? Through connections? Building connections also requires strength! Why can’t your underachieving son get in? If it weren’t for Magician Xiao,
The strength is strong and hidden, but the background is deep and bottomless.
Otherwise, why could he become a hero in Longyan City, Tianlong Fortress, and even the Yellow Dragon Empire? Just by virtue of his life-and-death relationship with General Wei Xingguo, he could greatly ease the conflict between the Xiao family and the Wei family. Therefore, the old man treated each other politely,
Try to get a backup for the family.
Xiao Laoer, however, was completely unable to understand the old man’s intention. It was unwise to offend an enemy for no reason. What’s more, to offend a direct descendant of the family for your unworthy son? He was already a big tree, and the situation was precarious. The acting head of the family also made enemies everywhere, Xiao
The future of the family is worrying!
If Xiao Tianming could hear these thoughts, he would definitely look at Xiao Zheng differently. He understands the current situation, knows the gains and losses, understands the general situation, and understands people's hearts. The most rare thing is that he is sincere to the family and dares to expose the gains and losses of the family leader. What a talent!
"Magician Xiao..." Xiao Zheng ran over and saw Xiao Tianming, who had been looking at the grass in the cold garden, with a look of embarrassment on his face. He groaned for a long time before he managed to say, "I have wronged you!"
Xiao Tianming turned to look at Xiao Zheng, with an inexplicable smile at the corner of his mouth: It seems that this pretty good housekeeper is not from Xiao Shan. Then he smiled and shook his head, he was already leaving, why bother with the family?
Are you throwing yourself into the mud due to partisan disputes and intrigues?
It doesn't matter who you are, from the moment Xiao Shan brought him to Hanyuan, Xiao Tianming is no longer a member of the Xiao family. His mind is clear and his expression is calm.
Xiao Zheng didn't know what was going on. He saw Xiao Tianming's expression was strange and changed several times, but finally returned to calmness. He sighed in his heart that the young man's psychological quality was excellent, and cursed Xiao Shan for his unwise behavior. He hurriedly said: "Magician Xiao,
You know, Xiao Shan is just the acting head of the family... This is not what the old Duke meant!"
"Oh? So, it's the old Duke who invited me here several times? Then, what's going on?" This was a bit unexpected.
Xiao Zheng breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the other party was willing to listen to his explanation. He hadn't sighed as much as this day in a month.
He hurriedly explained the old Duke's invitation to show his goodwill, and also talked about the reception in the main hall and the plan to stay in Fangfei Garden. Then he guessed that Xiao Shan wanted his son to replace Xiao Tianming's military exploits, but was stopped by the old man, so he got angry.
The possibility of holding a grudge.
Hearing Xiao Zheng's guess, Xiao Tianming smiled. It's these dirty things again. Human beings, human beings! No matter how long, you can never change your nature of being jealous of the good, jealous of the capable, getting something for nothing, and being angry and selfish.
Let's let the undead purify the world! Even the Xiao family, the pillar of the empire, has decayed like this. You can imagine the situation on the mainland. Is it necessary to let the undead army bloodbath the mainland again? Xiao Tianming is very serious about launching a natural disaster of the undead to bloodbath the mainland.
Possibility. This time, Huanglong Kingdom will definitely not be let go.
Of course Xiao Zheng didn't know that his words almost pushed the mainland into the abyss of disaster. He continued to praise Mr. Xiao's attention to Xiao Tianming, hoping to save some points.
Xiao Tianming listened to Xiao Zheng's persuasion, but his heart felt peaceful. Since he had decided to cut off the relationship with the Xiao family, why bother to work more? No matter how wise God is, he will eventually die. As long as a person like Xiao Shan succeeds as the head of the family, Xiao
The demise of your family is just around the corner, so why take on responsibilities that don’t belong to you?
Not to mention the suspicion of the king, the covetousness of many side clansmen, the struggle for power by relatives, the suppression of major aristocratic families, the backlash of the people at the bottom, and the pressure of the invasion of enemy countries. Regardless of the Xiao family's reputation, it was already in shaky condition, terminally ill, and incurable.
Seeing that Xiao Tianming remained calm, Xiao Zheng also softened. He knew that his words alone could not shake the heart of the young hero. He could only call in manpower and use the fastest speed to conquer Hanyuan.
Clean it up to show your sincerity.
As the old man's confidant, Xiao Zheng naturally has the right to mobilize some manpower to clean up Hanyuan. Even if doing so will offend Xiao Shan, he doesn't care. If the old man does not fall, he will be safe.
Repairing wooden doors, dealing with weeds, cleaning, making beds, chopping wood and boiling water, and maids attending the bed. A series of rituals for a big family were completed in just three hours. Xiao Tianming was stunned to see that such training was so effective
Su, the heritage of the big family is really deep.
Xiao Zheng took care of everything, even the maid who was waiting for him was brought to his side. Naturally, Xiao Tianming had no excuse to raze the yard to the ground. After Xiao Zheng left, he took a nice hot bath.
Changing clothes with incense and dispelling the fatigue of the day, returning to a clean bedroom and a brand-new mattress will make people feel sleepy at the sight.
Xiao Tianming declined the girl who came to sleep with him, and he meditated for two hours before falling asleep peacefully.
It should be mentioned here that in mainland aristocratic families, the status of maids is extremely low. Not only must they complete the tasks of cleaning and dressing the master's life, but beautiful maids also work part-time as the master's lover and bodyguard. Except for the particularly outstanding and lucky ones, they will not be able to live in this life.
Those who have a good reputation. Some who have a miserable fate will also be rewarded by entertaining guests and sleeping with them. At critical moments, they are obliged to test poisons and block knives for their masters. If they complain a little, they will be beaten, scolded, and even killed with a stick. A few families who act benevolently and righteously will do the same.
Sent out of the government, never hired.
In the upper class society, it was once popular to exchange beautiful maids or even concubines as "gifts" with each other. This custom has been passed down to this day. Being able to send a maid who is beautiful, well-educated, and proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting is a sign of family strength and
A testament to personal taste.
This group of maids is young, but they have gone through ups and downs, met countless people, and their experience is far beyond that of ordinary little guys. Xiao Tianming's refusal behavior, in the eyes of many little maids, is definitely a shame, shy, and unprecedented.
In the world, even country bumpkins and country bumpkins. Some people speculate that it is because the guy is incompetent and has low self-esteem?
