Chapter 74 The Tantai Family of the King of East China Sea
…
All the descendants of the Xuanwu family, which has been passed down for a long time, have to be measured in everything they do.
Especially before getting married, you must pay attention to appearance, reputation and other factors. Otherwise, the marriage will be greatly compromised, and in the worst case, it may not be impossible to downgrade the marriage.
No Xuanwu family would marry a girl to a notorious second generation ancestor. Especially the legitimate sons and daughters must pay more attention to these details, which are often related to the face and reputation of the two aristocratic families.
Therefore, the heir of a noble family could only be served by servants from childhood to adulthood, and it was impossible to have a bunch of maids.
Things like taking a concubine before getting married are almost impossible to happen. Every aristocratic family has a lot of respect, how could they let their legitimate daughter marry someone who already has a concubine?
What's more, most families like the Lingtai Family are short of resources, and they only want to improve their family to a higher level.
It was rare for a clan leader to take a concubine. It was impossible for a woman with such high bloodline to be a concubine. If you give birth to a child with a concubine with a low bloodline, isn't this a loss of status for your offspring?
Furthermore, a child born from a concubine is a bastard, and his status is very embarrassing. With the financial and material resources of the Lingtai family, how could it be possible for them to spend so much effort cultivating a bastard?
On the other hand, when it comes to the Tianren family, because it has more resources and more family assets, it also needs more talents to run the family's various industries. Therefore, the trend of concubinage will gradually become more popular.
Standing on the bow of the boat, Chen Fangjie was disheveled by the cold wind.
Even though she was vaguely envious of Wang Shouzhe's good fortune, she was also worried about it. Could it be that this Zhong family's immortality is really not a fake, but the real Zhong family's legitimate daughter?
By the way, this may not be impossible.
Some time ago, Shouzhe secretly went to the Hundred Island Guards and his party. In the end, someone from the Zhong family came to deliver something in person. Later, he even invited the Zhong family to Lingtai Realm for a meal.
Could it be that Shouzhe really has some unclear relationship with the Celestial Family - the Zhong family?
But with Shouzhe's identity, it might be difficult for her to reach the heights of the Zhong family's legitimate daughter. Could it be that she is preparing... to cook the rice before it is raw?
But what should Miss Liu do?
How could the powerful Liu family let go of such humiliation?
Could it be that with Shouzhe's wisdom, he had secretly settled Miss Liu's situation first?
Shouzhe, Shouzhe, you are playing too much this time.
Brother Yu is thin and weak, and the Chen family is from a small family, so I can't help you this time, so you should be lucky.
Chen Fangjie stood at the bow of the ship, thinking about the secret meeting between Miss Zhong and Wang Shouzhe in the inner hall of the ship, and he could only blow in the cold wind here, and had to worry about him. It was really miserable.
well!
This future brother-in-law may not be worried.
Fortunately, Wang Shouzhe didn't know that his future brother-in-law had already thought up a love triangle drama for him with the cold wind blowing. Otherwise, he would probably kick his future brother-in-law into the river to clear his mind.
…
"Wang Mei, are you clear about the larger follow-up plan?" Wang Shouzhe drank hot tea and said calmly, "If there is anything you don't understand, you can ask. It's just that this time, you need to take some risks."
Whether you take risks or not depends on the benefits. When it involves some huge profits and can also attack the enemy, taking risks is inevitable.
"The head of the family."
Wang Mei's pair of "star eyes" flickered with light, and she said softly, "For the sake of the master, I will not hesitate to sacrifice my life."
The voice was soft, ethereal, and so pleasant that it made people's hearts tingle.
"puff!"
Wang Shouzhe almost spit out a mouthful of tea, glared and said, "Speak to me properly."
"Um... I'm sorry, head of the family, I'm used to this tone these days. I mean, to deal with the Liu family and the Zhao family, my subordinates will not hesitate to sacrifice their lives." Wang Mei smiled awkwardly and quickly returned to her original slightly mediocre voice. , there was some hatred in the voice.
She was a general inherited from her family. Grandpa Zeng died in that fierce battle. How could she not hate her?
When Wang Shouzhe heard her original voice, he felt it was boring again, frowned and said, "Let's use falsetto."
"Yes, Master, everyone listens to you." Wang Mei obediently changed into a charming and soft voice that shook people's hearts. After entering the state, she even raised her beautiful eyes.
"hiss!"
Wang Shouzhe held his forehead. The sound was so loud that he really couldn't stand it. Immediately, he waved his hands helplessly and said, "That's all, let's use the original pronunciation."
"..." Wang Mei blinked her innocent eyes, the head of the house, you want me to behave this way, and then you want me to behave that way.
The taste is really unpredictable.
…
Early morning.
It's still dark.
A ship sailed out from Dingpu Ferry. In addition to Liu Shengye, the head of the Liu family, there was also Liu Yongzhou, the younger generation of the family, and several other key clan members.
"The head of the family," a middle-aged tribesman said excitedly, "I really didn't expect that I wouldn't know until I checked. I was shocked when I checked. Among the several aristocrats around us, there are three aristocratic families named Zhong. Among them, the most suitable one is the Zhong family. The young lady should be the Zhong family from the Baidao Weitian family."
Liu Shengye's expression was also very serious, and at the same time there was a hint of uncontrollable joy: "Miss Zhong has a distinguished status, and it is reasonable for her to not want to reveal her identity when she is in trouble. Please stay calm and composed, and don't lose face to me, Mrs. Liu. .”
"Yes, Master." Everyone responded.
Only Liu Yongzhou stood upright, standing like a javelin at the bow of the ship, with a glimmer of heat flashing from time to time in his eyes.
A family of heavenly beings.
Luoxian turned out to be, no, she was indeed a young lady from a heavenly family.
No wonder she repeatedly avoids the question of family origin. Yes, only a family of heavenly beings can cultivate such an extraordinary noble lady from the fairy family. Every word and every gesture conveys a vague aura of being unattainable.
What made his heart burn the most was that Luoxian seemed to have a vaguely different attitude towards him, as if he wanted to get closer to him, but at the same time he seemed to have deep-seated concerns.
Liu Yongzhou's heart broke when he saw her frowning from time to time, as if she had a somewhat sad expression.
Yes, what stood before them was the huge gap between the two aristocratic families.
At this thought, Liu Yongzhou's hot heart cooled down a bit.
However, he then thought about it. His uncle Liu Shenghao was about to be promoted to the ancestor of Lingtai. The family was bound to enter a period of expansion, and the resource income would increase dramatically. And he, Liu Yongzhou, was already determined to be the next successor of Lingtai Road.
With his status, even though there is still a big gap between him and Luo Xian, it is not an insurmountable chasm. If the entire clan uses all their strength to support him on his way to the spiritual platform, and Luo Xian is attached to him, the two of them may not be unable to succeed.
His heart became hotter and hotter, as if full of hope for the future.
The boat sailed for a short while.
The Liu family saw a luxurious medium-sized building ship coming into view.
"That's..." Everyone in the Liu family was shocked. Today, Miss Zhong was the one who led the meeting with the grain seller. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a luxurious and exquisite building ship.
"Huh?" Liu Shengye had good eyesight and his pupils shrank, "Although this ship does not carry the family flag, judging from the logo on the bow, it should be the ship of the Donghai Wang Tantai family.
Tantai family?
Donghaiwei is different from Baidaowei in that it is remote. It is adjacent to Changningwei. And the King of Donghai is a very famous Tianren family, and all the surrounding guards have heard about it.
"This building is extremely luxurious, and its owner is probably an important figure in the Tantai family." Liu Shengye said in a solemn and fearful tone, "Let's avoid it to avoid accidentally causing disaster."
Liu Yongzhou had a thought in his mind, could this be...
Sure enough, a beautiful figure in a fairy skirt floated out of the building boat.
"It's Miss Luoxian of the Zhong family." Liu Yongzhou said excitedly, "It turns out that the seller she found is from the Donghai Wang Tantai family. She is indeed the legitimate daughter of the Zhong family."
The Liu family members were also very excited. The opportunity to establish a relationship with the East China Sea King's family was something they could only dream of.
The ship comes ashore.
Everyone in the Liu family followed the other party's boatman's instructions and boarded the building boat one after another. The luxury they saw made them all extremely cautious. The cost of building this building ship is probably no less than three to four thousand gold.
The income of the huge Liu family can also reach this figure. But the family has a big business, and the expenses are also very huge. All they can save in a year is only five to six hundred gold.
"Young Master Liu." Zhong Luoxian was the first to cast his gaze on Liu Yongzhou. Seeing him, he seemed a little happy, but in an instant he restrained himself and calmed down. He bowed slightly to everyone in the Liu family and said in a fairy voice, "Luoxian I have met all the elders of the Liu family."
The head of the family, Liu Shengye, hurriedly led the crowd to return the gift. Although this Miss Zhong is attending the ceremony as a junior, how can they trust her? She really deserves to be the legitimate daughter raised by the Tianren family. She is so approachable.
Liu Shengye is full of confidence in the ultimate goal of this trip.
After a brief exchange of greetings, Zhong Luoxian led them into the interior of the building ship to meet with the grain seller.
As soon as the Liu family members walked in, they were even more shocked by the extravagance of the interior decoration and layout. After all, I still underestimated the cost of this ship. The various decorations alone are probably no less than a thousand gold.
In the hall, a handsome young man wearing a silk robe and a jade crown was lazily lying on the couch. His whole body was interpreting what it means to be distinguished by status.
The brocade robe is made of Bingling silk, and the slight icy white glare flows slightly, making it appear extraordinary. Bingling silk has always been a very luxurious and expensive thing.
Wearing it will keep you cool and refreshing in the hot summer without sweating. Wearing it for a long time can also nourish the skin, whiten and nourish the skin.
The most important thing is that Ice Spirit Silk is very dense and tough, difficult to be cut by ordinary swords, and has a certain defensive effect and fire repelling effect.
Children of ordinary aristocratic families regard Bingling Silk as a coveted luxury product. It is said that the spiritual insect master of the Xu family in Changning secretly raised some ice spirit silkworms and made a lot of money from them. However, even so, few people in the Xu family can afford to wear ice spirit silkworm clothes.
The price is too expensive.
Even a pair of obscene clothes costs hundreds of gold. This young master's silk robe may cost hundreds of gold. The jade crown he wore was also shining with brilliance, and it was obviously a valuable spiritual treasure.
Even the general standing behind him seemed to be majestic and impressive.
"Zhong Luoxian." The noble young master glanced at the Liu family with his eyelids half raised, and said lazily and contemptuously with a slight frown on his brows, "Are you doing business with this low-class family when you wrote to our Tantai family? "
"?"
A surge of anger burned in Liu Yongzhou's heart. Who is this bastard? How dare you talk to Miss Luoxian with this attitude.
