Family Rise: Start with Daily Intelligence - Chapter 258

c250 Return home in glory, break promise, meet old friends again

Aunt Qiu’s face turned solemn:

“Qingru, you and your wife came back unexpectedly this time, but you have something important to do.”

He Qingru glanced around subconsciously, pondered for a while, and said:

“My husband said that he will go to Jingzhou Mansion with his mistress soon. It may have something to do with it, but I didn’t ask about the specific details.”

Jingzhou Mansion?

Aunt Qiu frowned and thought carefully.

Then he said:

“Yong Yi is a newly promoted foundation builder. He is traveling thousands of miles to Jingzhou Mansion. Your mistress will definitely not bring a useless person with her.”

Hear the strings and know the elegant meaning.

He Qingru is a smart person, and his eyes immediately lit up:

“Mother, you mean that my mistress discovered some mineral source in Jingzhou Mansion and asked your husband to go and investigate.”

“Mostly”

“But the area in Jingzhou Prefecture is not our Fu family’s territory. Even if the specific mineral source is discovered, there is no way to dig it out.”

“You kid still think too superficially.”

Aunt Qiu shook her head.

Discovering a mineral source is equivalent to holding a bargaining chip.

The Fu family’s trip to Jingzhou Mansion was probably related to this. She patted He Qingru’s hand and said:

“This matter is just speculation between the two of us. Remember, even in front of your husband, don’t reveal anything.”

All men in the world are the same.

The wife behaved too shrewdly, which made the other party uneasy.

Aunt Qiu took out a storage bag from her sleeve and handed it to He Qingru:

“These are all the gifts I have received over the years. I have secretly exchanged them for spiritual stones. Just take them and accumulate them. In another ten or eight years, let your husband give you a hand and strive to become the master of Fu.” I’ll exchange it for a foundation-building pill. Mom, this will be the case for your whole life, but you are still young and you still have a chance to build a foundation.”

He Qingru took the storage bag.

His eyes were red with emotion.

Others thought she was subsidizing her parents’ family, but in fact her mother wished she could save her monthly salary and save it for her.

only.

He Qingru sighed.

Immediately he told Fu Yongdan, Fu Yongfu and Fu Yongshang about the fight for the Foundation Establishment Pill:

“There is probably no Foundation Building Pill in the clan, otherwise the Yongdan would not be left behind. She is the master of the Alchemy Hall and the eldest disciple of the Mistress.”

Aunt Qiu looked discouraged when she saw her.

He frowned.

There was a bit of anger on his face:

“He Qingru, what have you and I always said since you were sensible? No matter what you do, you must first complete your duties in a down-to-earth manner. The final result depends on chance.”

“You don’t work hard”

“It won’t be your turn if the Fu family gets the Foundation Building Pill again.”

He Qingru lived a comfortable life in the Fu family for several years, and apparently forgot how their mother and daughter hibernated in the backyard of the He family.

At this moment, he was told something.

I also slowly found my original intention:

“Mom, you are right, everything depends on human effort.”

Aunt Qiu smiled when she saw this.

There was a pause.

He then reminded:

“Your husband is not good at dealing with others. As a wife, you should help him socialize. During the holidays, you should have enough etiquette. You are no longer a bride. You have given birth to several children. Be proactive, the Fu family will only treat you as if you are willing to integrate into this big family.”

“You can’t imitate Brother Fan’s wife Yulian”

“Yulian’s father and mother are both the masters of the Lingzhi Hall, and her father-in-law and mother-in-law are the heads of the family. No matter how bad she does, others won’t say much.”

He family living room.

He Qingru was quite surprised after hearing about Fu Yongyi’s intention.

During the outbreak of the beast tide, the Fu family accumulated more than ten times more monster materials than the He family.

So much material.

Whether it is refining weapons or making talismans, at least for more than ten years, there will be no need to worry about spiritual materials. I don’t understand why the Fu family continues to acquire:

“Yong Yi, can you tell me the reason why your Fu family acquired the materials?”

Fu Yongyi hesitated.

He opened his mouth and said:

“Father-in-law, we are going to Jingzhou Mansion soon.”

Going to Jingzhou Prefecture?

Is this going to be buying and selling?

But.

It’s just a journey, and it takes several years to go back and forth. In addition, there are too many unknown risks on the road.

Hearing this, Patriarch He intuitively told him that the Fu family’s move must not be as simple as selling materials, but Fu Yongyi did not mention it again, and he was sensible and did not ask any more questions.

after all.

The Fu family is willing to purchase their monster materials in bulk at market prices.

This is a good thing for them:

“Yong Yi, your coming this time has just solved the urgent need of our He family. Once the beast tide is over, our mountain protection formation and the repair of the spiritual fields are waiting to be renovated. We will use spiritual stones for everything. I was worried that I couldn’t help but sell this batch of monster materials at a low price. Fortunately, you arrived in time.”

Everyone gets what they get.

Everyone is happy.

The end.

Fu Yongyi mentioned:

“Father-in-law, to be honest, our Fu family’s acquisition of monster materials this time is limited to my father-in-law and the Shangguan family. Please ask my father-in-law to tell the clan members not to leak any information.”

“I understand”

When Patriarch He heard this, he was even more happy.

The Fu family obviously mentioned the He family and the Shangguan family on equal diplomatic relations, which made the smile on his face grow wider.

When Fu Yongyi was about to say goodbye and leave.

Don’t let me say anything.

He asked his tribe to prepare a sumptuous family banquet.

At the banquet.

He Jiumei looked at the table full of delicacies, which she couldn’t even eat during the New Year, not to mention that the family was in financial distress now.

It can be seen from this.

How much father attaches importance to He Qingru and his wife.

He Jiumei’s heart became more and more sour.

He raised his hand to straighten his temples, took a glass of spiritual wine and walked to the main table. He walked directly to Fu Yongyi with his charming eyes:

“Brother-in-law, this is the spiritual wine that I personally prepared. You can try it. If it tastes good, I have a lot of it in my room and will send it to you as well.”

Said.

Pass the spiritual wine to Fu Yongyi.

Such a blatant suggestion.

He Qingru was not stupid. How could he not understand He Jiumei’s intention? She narrowed her eyes slightly and others ignored her.

As my concubine.

He actually took the initiative to seduce his husband.

If this spreads to the Fu family, I’m afraid everyone will look down upon her.

at the same time.

Her eyes fell on Fu Yongyi’s face, fearing that he would nod.

As a woman.

No one wants to share a husband with someone else.

Patriarch He himself has three wives and four concubines, and it is not impossible to marry another daughter to consolidate the relationship between the Fu family, especially now that the Fu family has reached the eighth rank, so he has not It means to hinder.

He Qingshang was sitting opposite He Qingru.

She stared at He Qingru with a look on her face. Although she looked down on He Jiumei’s style, she obviously wanted to see He Qingru, who was living a better life than herself, suffer.

He Qingru was thinking about getting up.

But Aunt Qiu touched her without leaving any trace under the table.

This time.

Nothing He Qingru said was appropriate.

Either offend your husband or offend your natal family.

Everyone’s eyes fell on Fu Yongyi, and they were all curious about whether he would accept the glass of wine.

Fu Yongyi glanced at He Qingru from a distance and said with a smile:

“Sister Ninth, I’m really sorry. My wife has told me not to drink when I go out.”

As soon as this statement came out.

He Jiumei’s expression suddenly changed. She finally mustered up the courage to throw herself into her arms, but the other party was so ignorant. She was no better than that mean girl He Qingru.

He snorted coldly.

Turn around and leave.

There are so many good men in the world, who cares about them?

He Qingru’s face was full of smiles at this time. Fu Yongyi’s words obviously gave her a lot of support at her parents’ house.

At this moment, He Jiumei sat down.

She smiled and said:

“Sister Ninth, I would like to try the spiritual wine that you personally mixed.”

“you!”

This makes it clear which pot should not be opened and which pot should not be lifted.

He Jiumei was so angry that she almost exploded. She glanced at He Qingru with a sneer: “I want to see how arrogant you can be.”

After Fu Molan set off from Yunshan County, he went directly to Tianlong City.

The beast tide did not reach the boundaries of Anyang County.

Therefore, if the Shangguan family has monster materials, they are only in Tianlong City. When they arrived at Tianlong City, they found that the Shangguan family’s city defense formation had been raised again, but a lot of the outer walls had collapsed. The Shangguan family was repairing it, and there were many people. , busy but not chaotic.

Waited for a while.

Fu Molan was taken to the living room.

The one who received her was Shangguan Hongyu. Shangguan Hongyu sat upright, and the aura exuding from her body was no less than that of the real Zifu. She was not angry and had no authority. In front of her, Fu Molan instinctively felt a sense of awe.

After saluting.

Shangguan Hongyu asked first:

“Your family leader has gone into seclusion?”

If not.

Usually when the Fu family comes to visit for business, Fu Changsheng comes in person.

Fu Molan responded quickly.

Shangguan Hongyu murmured something in a low voice, but Fu Molan didn’t hear it clearly and turned to talk about the purpose of the trip.

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Hongyu waved her hand:

“I appreciate your Fu family’s kindness, but we have other uses for the monster materials.”

Finished.

He turned around and told his clansmen to go to the warehouse and bring out the treasure ship.

Fu Molan was stunned for a moment. When the beast tide broke out, Tianlong City was also greatly affected. It is said that there was a third-level demon king at that time, but I don’t know what the Shangguan family used these demon beast materials for?

Vaguely.

Fu Molan felt that maybe there was only the secret of the eighth-grade family.

Rented a treasure ship from the Shangguan family.

When Fu Molan arrived at the city gate, she paused and saw Shangguan Hui with a white beard at the city gate directing everyone to repair the city wall.

Haven’t seen him for more than thirty years.

At this time, Shangguan Hui’s back was a little rickety.

His cultivation level has also dropped to the early stage of foundation building, and he still has the high spirits that he had when he competed with Shangguan Feng for the position of the eldest elder of the Shangguan family.

Fu Molan was a little sad.

He turned to the Shangguan family who was leading the way and said:

“Fellow Taoist, I have a few words to say to Elder Hui. Please wait a moment.”

Said.

Step forward quickly.

When he arrived in front of Shangguan Hui, he was obviously stunned for a moment. After Fu Molan told him the origin of his name, his eyes narrowed slightly.

If Fu Changsheng had not provided the information about the spirit stone vein back then, he would not have been so seriously injured, and he would not have ended up in the situation where his wife and children were separated, and he was neither human nor ghost, so for the people of the Fu family.

He instinctively disliked it.

He snorted coldly:

“Fu and I have nothing to say.”

Fu Molan said a few words quickly, saluted, and immediately turned around and left.

only.

Nowadays, Shangguan Hui wants power but not power, strength but not strength. Even if he tells him the whereabouts of Zhang Yuanyuan, the other party will not be able to do anything. After Fu Molan left.

For a while.

Only then did Shangguan Hui recover from the shock.

Back then, when he was seriously injured and in seclusion, this bitch named Zhang took away all his life savings and fled without a trace. Over the years, he has been sending people to track down his whereabouts.

Unexpectedly.

This bitch not only ran away with the money.

And he also put a tall cuckold on him!

Shangguan Hui is not dead yet:

“Zhang Yuanyuan!!”

Shangguan Hui shattered a mouthful of silver teeth, and his eyes burst out with monstrous rage.

Gongsun family.

In the meeting hall, Patriarch Gongsun sat at the head. Several storage bags were suspended in front of him. The previous discouragement of everyone present had been swept away.

When the beast tide breaks out completely.

The second elder Gongsun Ming united with everyone and asked the family head to hand over the family’s treasure, the mountain-preserving seal that usually only the family leader could use. This time, it was the family elders who jointly urged the family to maximize the power of the mountain-preserving seal.

Not only did they successfully repel the beast tide.

As a result, a third-level demon king was captured, and a large amount of demon beast materials were harvested.

It turns out.

The second elder, Gongsun Ming, was right to force him into the palace.

At this moment, even though Gongsun Ming was not sitting on the main seat, all the elders were very respectful to him. Patriarch Gongsun was unhappy and knew that he needed to do one or two practical things to restore the reputation of the patriarch:

“Everyone, although we have gained a lot of this monster material, it cannot be sold at a high price in Huainan, so I plan to use the privileges of the eighth-grade family to go to Jingzhou Mansion through the teleportation array of the Zhenshi Division.”

Gongsun Ming frowned.

Immediately object to:

“Master, if I remember correctly, using the Zhenshi Division’s teleportation array costs a lot of money, and to sell products across provinces, you have to pay transit fees to the court. After all, it is better to sell directly to the Wanning Chamber of Commerce to save worry. Save effort.”

The elders nodded slightly.

Patriarch Gongsun said calmly:

“It’s just a way to go to Jingzhou to sell monster materials. According to the information I received, Yunlongfang City will hold an auction soon, and there will be a Foundation Establishment Pill. I want to take this opportunity to help our Gongsun. Let’s add a few more foundations.”

As soon as this statement came out.

Everyone who originally had objections fell silent instantly.

after all.

This is a family matter.

Seeing this, the second elder Gongsun Ming pondered for a while and said:

“That being the case, there is no need to use the Zhenshi Division’s teleportation array. In the past few years, Liu Meizhen, a member of the Fu family, was able to safely enter and leave Jingzhou. It just took more time.”

“What’s more, it’s a time when the clan is in short supply of spiritual stones.”

Chief Gongsun wanted to take this opportunity to cultivate close followers, but after the tribesmen he brought out successfully established the foundation, they would definitely not forget their kindness to him.

But if the teleportation array is not used.

Back and forth.

But it would be a waste of years.

Seeing his hesitation, Gongsun Ming said readily:

“If the head of the family feels that it is too dangerous to go to Jingzhou, then you can take the Zhenshan Seal with me and I will go to Jingzhou Mansion myself.”

As soon as this statement came out.

Patriarch Gongsun narrowed his eyes slightly.

The Zhenshan Seal represents the identity of the family head. At that time, the outbreak of the beast tide was related to the survival of the family, so he had no choice but to give the Zhenshan Seal to the other elders in the clan for use.

If you hand over the Zhenshan Seal now.

Then his position as the head of the family is in jeopardy!

Patriarch Gongsun gritted his teeth and said:

“Everything in the clan still needs to be borne by the second elder. I can just go to Jingzhou personally.”

A year and a half later.

Jingzhou border.

Liu Meizhen said to Fu Yongyi who was standing on the deck of the treasure ship: “The border is ahead. Yongyi, please enter the cabin and tell Uncle Yu that we have arrived.”

“Yes, mother”

Fu Yongyi glanced curiously at the long city wall stretching across the rolling mountain peaks, then turned and entered the cabin.

on deck.

Yun Bozi looked at the strange yet familiar city wall in front of him.

His face is full of memories.

Since he was taken away from Jingzhou when he was young, he has not set foot here for nearly a hundred years. Looking at the city wall in front of him that has not changed for hundreds of years, he sighed:

“It is said that this city wall already existed when the Great Zhou Dynasty was established. Later, it was reinforced by the officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty every year. Even if Jindan Zhenren came, this fortification could only be daunted. No wonder the Donghuang tribe, after so many years, only I can dance in Huainan, but I have never set foot in Jingzhou.”

The Great Zhou Dynasty is located in the Central Plains.

Huainan is the capital of the Eastern Wilderness.

Yun Bozi seemed to remember something and suddenly said:

“Mother, you said that the beast tide changed its route and went to the Eastern Wilderness tribe. Is it because a demon king explored the way in advance and saw this majestic city wall, so he wanted to retreat?”

The target of the hundreds of thousands of mountain monsters is the resource-rich land in the Central Plains.

How could you be deterred?

It was probably the imperial court that took the lead.

After a while.

Grandmaster Yu also came out of the cabin.

A group of people got off the treasure ship. At the entrance of the city wall, the border guard came forward: “Show me your identity card.”

Liu Meizhen and others followed suit one by one.

After a while.

The guard waved his sleeves, and an eight-length mirror floated in front of him. As he fired a spell into the eight-length mirror, the mirror vibrated with a buzzing sound.

Then a white beam of light fell on Liu Meizhen, Yun Bozi, and Fu Yongyi one by one.

It’s almost time to become a master.

However, he saw that the mana in his body was circulating fiercely, and a strange talisman was condensed in his dantian. As soon as this talisman came out, a yellow mist instantly condensed in his body.

A white beam fell on him.

Nothing strange at all.

Liu Meizhen, who was standing at the front, was heartbeating rapidly at this moment, as if she was vaguely afraid of something.

When I heard the guard say:

“Go in”

She quickly turned back to look at Grandmaster Yu, and then immediately looked away. The tense feeling in her heart finally fell to the ground.

The four of them entered Jingzhou and walked north for half a month. When they arrived at Qiuri Mountain on the edge of Taiyun County, Liu Meizhen put away the treasure ship.

He turned around and said:

“Uncle Yu, you guys find a place to rest in Qiuri Mountain. I’ll go to the Liu family in Taiyun County first to find out some news.”

In a sense.

Liu Meizhen can also be regarded as a member of the Liu family in Taiyun County, Jingzhou.

When Liu Meizhen rescued the Liu family of Taiyun County from danger, he also captured a family mountain from the old enemy Yang family for the Liu family. For this reason, the Liu family of Taiyun County sent three hostages to the Fu family and promised to pay tribute every year. The next generation of Liu family head will be appointed by the Fu family.

The head of the Liu family heard that Liu Meizhen was coming.

Stunned for a moment.

Years passed.

Relying on the two spiritual mountains, the clan saved money on food and clothing. Chief Liu successfully bid for a foundation-building pill from Yunlongfang City and successfully built the foundation.

The Liu family has one more foundation builder.

Then he could be promoted to the ninth rank and be on equal footing with the Fu family.

Patriarch Liu raised his voice and said:

“Third uncle, go bring people in.”

Liu Meizhen came at just the right time.

He was thinking about asking the other party to send his three children back.

Patriarch Liu, who had already established the foundation, was in high spirits. At this time, he sat upright and did not get up to greet the footsteps.

When she saw that Liu Meizhen was the only one coming, she sneered in her heart. Most of the Fu family had lost a lot of their foundations in the beast tide. She was still a little wary of Liu Meizhen, but now she completely let go. With his heart in mind, he pointed at the lower position at random and said:

“My clan sister has come from afar, but I am not welcome at all. Try my newly acquired Cangming tea. This is the finest second-grade mid-grade spiritual tea. It was personally rewarded by the head of the Tang family who was promoted to the eighth grade.”

Inside and outside the words.

What it shows is that the other party now has the support of an eighth-grade family.

Completely forgot.

How the clan used to beg for help in a low voice when they were in crisis.

Liu Meizhen raised the tea cup, took a sip, and said with a smile:

“The tea is good, but the brewing method is wrong and it’s a little astringent.”

As soon as this statement came out.

Patriarch Liu narrowed his eyes slightly.

He raised his head and drank the tea cup in one gulp. Finally, he put the tea cup heavily on the table, opened the skylight and said:

“Clan sister, I won’t beat around the bush with you. Back then, you promised to send back all the Talisman masters you brought from our Liu family once the city is built. But I heard that the beast tide in your Huainan province has passed, but There is not even a trace of our Liu family’s talisman master. Since you didn’t keep your promise, our previous contract will be terminated.”

In the opinion of Patriarch Liu.

In that remote place in Jingzhou, after the chaos of the beast tide, the Fu family must be on the decline, but the Liu family is thriving.

There is no need to continue to abide by the contract with the Fu family.

after all.

The Fu family is so far away that it can’t bring them more benefits, so why should they be controlled by others.

Obviously.

Patriarch Liu has already made plans to give up the three protons.

Liu Meizhen looked at Patriarch Liu steadily:

“Clan Chief Liu, for the sake of being of the same lineage as the Liu family, if you say something stupid in a moment of excitement, I will pretend that you didn’t hear it, but you only have one chance.”

Chief Liu frowned.

He never liked it when others acted condescendingly in front of him and said coldly:

“Sister, you broke the contract first, don’t make it look like I don’t believe what I said.”

The Liu family’s Talisman Master didn’t want to go back, and Patriarch Liu knew this very well, so he just found a random reason to end the contract.

Liu Meizhen sighed in her heart.

She had already given the chance once.

Since the other party doesn’t cherish her, don’t blame her for not caring about the blood of the Liu family.

Liu Meizhen lowered her eyes.

Patriarch Liu now directly served tea:

“Sister, I still have some general affairs to be busy with.”

Just sweep out the door.

Even Liu Meizhen came all the way to Jingzhou without asking a question. In his opinion, it was probably because he was poor. After all, the beast tide had just passed, and the Fu family was in dire straits.

Liu Meizhen did not delay.

After standing up and bowing, he left the living room.

Out of the clan mountain.

Meet Grandmaster Yu and Yun Bozi who are hiding in the abandoned cave in Qiuri Mountain opposite.

Yun Bozi saw that the other party came back so quickly.

I was stunned for a moment:

“Mother, your brother is reluctant to arrange a banquet for you?”

I originally wanted to use the Liu family to inquire about the situation in Jingzhou, but now it seems that it is not feasible. Yun Bozi said anxiously:

“Mother, if you can’t help it, go and meet my fifth sister. As long as you are careful, the Yu family will definitely not notice.”

“No”

This way.

Just to alert the snake.

Liu Meizhen turned her head and glanced at the cave, but she didn’t see Fu Yongyi.

Seeing this, Yun Bozi hurriedly explained: “Yong Yi said that he wanted to hang around nearby for a while. He probably won’t be able to go far, but he needs to be summoned to come back and discuss it together.”

“Need not”

Liu Meizhen shook her head.

The three of them discussed it and decided to let Yun Bozi and Grandmaster Yu continue to stay in Qiuri Mountain tomorrow. Liu Meizhen and Fu Yongyi went to Yunlongfang City to inquire about the news, and then make plans after figuring out the situation.

Yun Bozi glanced at the sky outside and murmured:

“It’s already dark, why hasn’t Yong Yi come back? He’s not familiar with this place. Isn’t this child lost?”
