Chapter 57 Feel Proud! Sister-in-Law Visits Relatives in Beautiful Clothes

…

Xu Anming is an ordinary member of the Xu clan in Changning.

Now eighty years old, he retired from the family business a few years ago and became a clan elder. He spends his days entertaining his grandchildren or tending to flowers and plants.

In his early years, he also practiced to the high level of the eighth level of Qi Refining Realm, but as he got older, his strong Qi and blood gradually faded away.

I didn't take a large amount of spiritual food or pills to maintain it, so my current cultivation level was only maintained at the eighth level of Qi Refining Realm without falling.

Xu Anming didn't have any great achievements in his life, but he also had his own pride.

He gave birth to a total of three sons and two daughters, and a total of fifteen grandchildren. Now he even has four great-grandchildren.

Life can be described as contented.

As a clan elder, Xu Anming lives in Lixiang Garden to the west of the main residence. This house is very close to the main hall, and the area is quite large. Even among the various gates and courtyards of the Xu family's main house in Changning, it can be considered very respectable.

It's spring, and the grass and trees in Lixiang Garden are lush and growing well.

Under the careful care of the housekeepers, different varieties of flowers bloomed in scattered places, competing for beauty, making the whole garden look pleasing to the eye and full of vitality.

Early this morning, the main road in the garden was cleaned two or three times by the slaves with clean water. The used clean water was swept into the specially dug drainage ditch. Even in this rainy season, there is no need to worry about water. The siltation affected the master's mood.

Xu Anming also put on a brand new robe early in the morning and sat in the main hall. There was a hint of expectation on his majestic face, as if he was waiting for someone.

His son and grandson usually live nearby, and today they all gathered in Lixiang Garden. The whole family is neat and tidy, and they have the style of a small family in a big family.

"Xu Zhenxing, can you go out and see if your sister is here?"

Mr. Xu Anming frowned slightly, seeming a little uneasy.

Among his three sons and two daughters, the one who feels most distressed is his second daughter Xu Chunyun. Because that time, the head of the family came forward and betrothed her to Wang Shouxin, a direct descendant of the Ping An Wang family.

So what was the situation of the Ping An Wang family back then? Not only is it located in a remote countryside, but one word runs deep in the family - "poor."

What kind of good life can a daughter live if she gets married?

Xu Zhenxing is the eldest son of the old man. He is now in his fifties. He has taken over the old man's duties over the years and serves as the head of a certain department in Xu's important industrial weaving workshop in Changning. He is also considered a figure.

Hearing this, he raised his hands to his father and said, "Yes, father."

Before he could go out, the second child Xu Zhenye also smiled and said: "I'll go with my brother. Speaking of which, I haven't seen my sister for three years. And this time, I heard that my brother-in-law Shouxin is also here."

With that said, the two brothers walked out of the door together, with no hint of displeasure in their demeanor.

They even gave a few instructions to their wives before going out, asking them to take good care of the old man and prepare everything they should.

The main entrance of Xu family in Changning.

Under the slanting sunlight, the exquisite and gorgeous wooden archway stands tall, solemn and majestic.

On the archway, there is a plaque with the four characters "Xu Family of Changning" written on it. The official seal representing the identity of the eighth-grade family shines brightly on it.

Outside the archway is a wide and long road paved with bluestones.

The higher the rank of the family, the wider the road. For example, for a ninth-grade family, the long road can only be built one foot wide, and for the eighth-grade family, it can be built two feet wide. At the seventh-grade family, the bluestone bricks can be replaced with carved bricks. The higher the level, the higher the regulations. This is the rule given by the Daqian court. The dignity of the family.

At this moment, a beautifully decorated carriage with the emblem of the Ping An Wang family slowly stopped on the long bluestone road, escorted by the family general and servants.

When the servant guarding the door saw him, he immediately greeted him enthusiastically and began to flatter him without any words.

Wang's coachman put on the pedals and respectfully asked his master to get off.

Wang Shouxin and his wife then got out of the carriage with a little baby who was less than three years old and respectfully surrounded by everyone.

Wang Shouxin is now over fifty years old. Although his appearance does not look old, his temperament is calm and restrained. Surrounded by his generals and servants, he looks quite majestic.

However, his originally straight brocade robe seemed a bit messy, and the tiger-shaped jade buckle on his belt was crooked, as if it had been buckled in a hurry.

When he looked at the coachman, he was a little evasive and uncomfortable. When he faced his wife, Xu, his eyes were even more complicated.

This daughter-in-law has always been bold, but she never expected to act so recklessly.

Xu Chunyun's eyebrows had a hint of spring, as if he was a little proud and satisfied, and even his face, which still had charm, seemed to be slightly rosy and moisturized.

Wang's carriage driver had his eyelids drooped, as if he hadn't woken up.

What just happened? He saw nothing, heard nothing, knew nothing.

As a coachman passed down from generation to generation by the Wang family, he is very professional. He is basically deaf and mute, and occasionally he can be selectively blind.

No, Mrs. Xu secretly gave him a piece of gold and warned in a low voice: "Old man Wang, you know that I have always had a bad temper. Don't let any rumors spread."

"Mrs. Xu, what are you talking about?" Old Man Wang looked like he couldn't hear, but quietly, the piece of dry gold was hidden close to his body.

At this moment.

From the main residence of the Xu family in Changning, two strong men in brocade robes came out.

Although they are all in their fifties or sixties, due to long-term cultivation, their bodies and appearance do not look old. And because of their background, they have been in high positions for a long time, hold power, and have a calm and majestic appearance.

When the leader Xu Zhenxing saw his sister and brother-in-law, he immediately greeted him with a smile: "Chunyun, Shouxin, it's already at the doorstep. What are you still fussing about?"

Mrs. Xu was calm, bowed and said, "Chunyun has met my two brothers."

Wang Shouxin also stepped forward and saluted: "Shouxin has met my two brothers."

His attitude is neither arrogant nor humble, and he adheres to etiquette.

"Keep your word, there's no need to be so polite."

Xu Zhenxing and Xu Zhenye hurriedly stepped forward and supported him on the left and right.

Both of them had smiles on their faces and a warm attitude.

"We brothers haven't seen each other for many years. This door is not the place to talk. Please follow us in quickly."

"Brothers, don't be anxious." Xu Chunyun said, "There are still some things in the carriage, which are all local specialties brought to our father by our family."

Xu Zhenxing was stunned for a moment, then patted his head and said with a smile: "Look at your brother, he is so happy after seeing you."

As he spoke, he waved his hand, and several servants came out from the main house and began to help move things.

Good guy.

A whole bag, hundreds of kilograms of white jade spiritual rice, a whole jar of spiritual wine brewed from red crystal spiritual rice, a fifty or sixty kilogram piece of ferocious beast iron-backed barbarian pig front leg meat, and a large jar. There are sixty or seventy kilograms of salted fish meat, ten kilograms of ordinary tea leaves, and one liang of spiritual tea.

In addition, there is a gift list, which is full of ordinary rice, melons, fruits and vegetables, chicken, duck, fish, goose, etc.

However, because there are too many, the carriage cannot fit them, and a special carriage will be delivered later.

Xu Zhenxing and Xu Zhenye are both well-known and well-known leaders in the Xu family in Changning. They are usually well-informed, but they were all shocked when they saw this posture.

I was just going back to my parents' house, but I had prepared such a generous gift. People who don't know think this is a job offer.

The two brothers looked at each other and their voices became much lower.

"This...Chunyun, Shouzhi, is this too much?"

"Two brothers." Xu Chunyun's eyes were full of pride, "Our family has promised that dad's Qi and blood are not as strong as before in recent years, so he should eat more spiritual food to replenish his body. Only in this way can he live longer and live longer. Over 100 years old.”

As soon as these words came out, the two brothers looked a little embarrassed and their faces were a little hot.

The Xu family in Changning is an established eighth-grade family. As the elder of the clan, the old man Xu Anming enjoys a high level of support every year.

The reason why his Qi and blood have declined sharply in recent years is naturally because he subsidized all his support to his grandchildren.

This is something that the elders of many families do. After all, their lives have reached their old age, and their children and grandchildren are still young and have more room to grow.

However, when Xu Chunyun mentioned it at this time, it would naturally cause discomfort to the two brothers.

Fortunately, they had always known Xu Chunyun's temper, so they immediately laughed and let the matter go.

The Xu family in Changning has a long history, and its population is naturally much larger than that of the Wang family in Ping'an. At the main entrance, people come in and out at any time.

Seeing this scene, as long as they inquired a little, they would know that Xu Chunyun, who was married to Ping An Wang in his early years, came back to visit relatives.

The gift list for visiting relatives was also quickly circulated, which caused quite a stir within the clan.

"It's really a big deal to come back to visit relatives."

"Xu Anming, the elder of the clan, has given birth to a good daughter~ It seems that she will be able to enjoy the blessings of children and grandchildren in the future."

"I have said before that Uncle An Ming is blessed. Look, doesn't this come true?"

Many people would be very envious of clan elder Xu Anming, especially several clan elders who were about the same age as him, who were even more jealous.

You know, when they wanted to select someone to marry the Ping An Wang family, their family also had a daughter on the candidate list, but they tried every means to reject her. Who would have thought that just a few decades later, the situation would change?

Amidst the discussion, Wang Shouxin, Xu Chunyun and his wife, together with the brothers Xu Zhenxing and Xu Zhenye, brought a bunch of gifts into the Lixiang Garden where their old father Xu Anming lived.

In the main hall.

Xu Anming had not seen his daughter for several years, and he burst into tears. He held her daughter's hand and asked her for her welfare.

To him, no matter how old his daughter is, she is still his precious daughter.

Their family, except for the third son who went to work out of town and the eldest daughter who married Wangxia Lei, was pretty well together.

Of course, the juniors were not present. They never like this kind of socializing between relatives.

Wang Shouxin also came forward to pay homage: "Greetings to my father-in-law."

"Keep your word~"

Xu Anming wiped his tears and hurriedly helped Wang Shouxin himself.

His expression was slightly complicated. Thinking back to when his daughter married Wang Shouxin, he was deeply unwilling. Given the situation that the Ping An Wang family was in at that time, what kind of good life could their daughter live?

Fortunately, although Wang was poor, he did not treat his daughter badly. And he also knew that Wang Shouxin loved Xu Chunyun very much, which made him feel much better.

But I didn't expect that in recent years, the Ping An Wang family would turn over.

Wang Shouxin also became prosperous all of a sudden. Ten years ago, he had not reached the seventh level of the Qi Refining Realm, but now he has great bearing, and his profound energy is thick and unfathomable.

Is it possible that the Ping An Wang family is still planning to let Wang Shouxin attack the Lingtai realm?

Not only was Mr. Xu Anming full of doubts, but even the two brothers Xu Zhenxing and Xu Zhenye were calm on the surface, but there were waves in their hearts.

They had never looked down upon Wang Shouxin, but they didn't expect that Wang Shouxin's stamina was so strong that he was already above them.

Xu Chunyun's three sisters-in-law were obviously dressed up carefully today, but compared with Xu Chunyun, they all seemed to lose their luster.

Look at her outfit. She is wearing the latest Bingling silk ice blue dress. She is covered in aqua blue ice jewelry. Her face is white and rosy, and her blood is moist. She has obviously been pampered for a long time, living the life of a noble lady. days.

If someone didn’t know this, they would have thought that the daughter-in-law of the Xu family in Changning came back to visit her relatives~

They all had smiles on their faces, talking to Xu Chunyun's parents in a trivial manner, but their eyes secretly glanced at their husbands.

Look at my sister's body, and then look at ours, don't you think it's embarrassing? Is it possible that the dignified Ning Xu family is so inferior to the Ping An Wang family?

The Xu Zhenxing brothers were filled with bitterness.

Okay, now we're in big trouble.

My sister's outfit, if I buy it all, I'm afraid it won't cost me more than a thousand dollars. If you have this spare money, of course you should give priority to subsidizing it for the children to practice. How can you waste it like this?

The two brothers quickly diverted their attention and picked up Wang Wangwang Ning, who was only two or three years old.

This child is the son of Wang Zongwei and the first member of the ninth generation of the Ping An Wang family.

As a result, the topic naturally turned to the juniors.

"Zong Wei, this kid, was a bit out of character when he was young." Xu Zhenxing, as the uncle, said, "But in recent years, he has been able to calm down and do things down-to-earth. By the way, I remember he married A direct lineage of the Gongsun family, right?"

When she mentioned her eldest son, Xu Chunyun also had a slightly proud smile on her face: "That child Zong Wei was a bit dissolute when he was young. Fortunately, the fourth uncle personally trained him and made him return to his lost ways."

"Now that boy is developing in Donghaiwei, and he has already taken care of a lot of things. His wife is also discussed by Gongsun herself. The child is smart and capable, and can just control that bastard."

"Auntie is very lucky." Second sister-in-law Dang smiled, "But our family is not bad at age. We are not even thirty yet, and we are already at the peak of the seventh level of Qi Refining Realm. Even the ancestors in the family praise us. several times."

When talking about his son Xu Younian, Mrs. Dang's eyes couldn't help but feel slightly proud.

The eldest sister-in-law Lei's eyes were a bit unnatural. It was obvious that the children in the family were not capable of doing anything, at least not as good as Xu Younian.

"I didn't expect that I would be so promising now~" Xu Chunyun smiled happily and said casually, "Speaking of which, our family Zongchang has been very busy these years and hasn't come back to see you."

As soon as these words came out, the second son Xu Zhenye's face suddenly became embarrassed.

He looked at Mr. Dang with a straight face and said: "You are a woman, and you are not well informed. Our family Zong Chang is already a famous young master at the age of twenty-two, and he is much more promising than he is in years~"

The boss Xu Zhenxing hesitated for a moment and then asked: "Sister, I heard that Li Ci went to Zifu Academy to take the exam. I wonder if she passed?"

Zifu Academy exam?

Everyone who had never heard of this immediately became concerned.

Being qualified to take the Zifu Academy exam is already considered an elite. If you can pass the exam, even if you become an ordinary disciple, you will definitely be in the Lingtai realm in the future.

Xu Chunyun didn't pay much attention to her daughter Wang Lizi, and Wang Lizi's true cultivation level was kept secret. Even she, the mother-in-law, didn't know much about it.

Xu Chunyun thought for a moment and said, "These things were arranged by Fourth Uncle Shouzhe. Li Ci stayed in the academy after finishing the exam. She must have passed the exam."

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the Xu family was immediately excited, and they all looked proud.

Privately, I am envious and jealous, but if Wang Lizi can reach the Lingtai realm, then uncles and aunts like them will follow the chickens and dogs to heaven.

If you tell me, you will not only gain face, but also gain dignity!

Maybe, in the future, little girl Li Ci will be the support of their whole family~

"Okay, okay~" Xu Anming also burst into tears and was very happy, "As soon as Li Ci enters the palace, she will definitely reach the Lingtai realm in the future. I didn't expect that one of my, Xu Anming's grandchildren would actually be able to reach the Lingtai realm!"

Wang Shouxin watched in silence.

Xu Chunyun didn't pay much attention to her daughter's affairs, and since her daughter deliberately concealed it, she naturally didn't know the truth, but he knew it clearly.

Daughter Wang Lizi is not in the Lingtai realm in the future, but has already become the Lingtai realm.

In addition, he also heard from Shouzhe that Li Ci had a great master and had a bright future.

Wang Shouxin thought to himself that most of the time Li Ci was worshiping a master in the realm of celestial beings, no wonder Shouzhe wanted to keep it a secret. If this matter spreads out, I am afraid it will cause a commotion.

Seeing Xu Chunyun's proud face, eager to show off the excellence of her children to the whole world, he felt ashamed.

That’s all, let her continue to be kept in the dark~

Unfortunately, even Wang Shouxin himself was kept in the dark. What Wang Lizi worshiped was not a master in the Heavenly Realm, but a master of the Purple Mansion, and he was the top-ranked vice-president among the Masters of the Purple Mansion.

Just when everyone was praising Wang Lizi.

Suddenly a majestic and hearty voice came from outside the door: "Third brother, I heard that Chunyun and Shouxin are here. Why didn't you notify me about this?"

This sound...

Xu Chunyun's brother, sister-in-law, father and family were all stunned on the spot.

This, this, isn't this the voice of the head of the family, Xu Anbang?

Their Changning Xu family, when will the head of the family be notified when the junior Zhimei comes back to visit relatives?

If everyone was really like this, wouldn’t the head of the family be busy to death?
