In the He Family's courtyard, the three brothers, He Wude and He Quanxin, sat quietly in their chairs.
The He brothers entered together. From the corner of their eyes, they saw Yuan Liwen and Yuan Yinyin standing in the hall like a pair of young wives meeting their parents-in-law.
He Yitian's expression changed slightly before returning to normal. However, there was a hint of worry in his eyes because he wasn't sure how his grandfather, He Wude, would treat Yuan Liwen.
He Yiming's face was a little red. Although he was the number one person in the He Family Manor in terms of martial skills, he lacked experience in certain areas. Therefore, he felt a little awkward at this moment.
He Wude nodded at the two brothers and said, "Yiming, sit down too."
He Yiming was slightly startled. He glanced at his elder brother and didn't feel any dissatisfaction from his elder brother. He then nodded and sat down on the chair at the back.
As for He Yitian, he went to stand beside his father, He Quanxin, without waiting for instructions.
At this moment, He Yitian couldn't feel any jealousy when facing Yiming.
The difference between Xiantian and Houtian wasn't just in terms of martial skills. Even one's temperament would change after advancing to Xiantian. Furthermore, after witnessing He Yiming's martial skills in the Yuan Family Manor, it wouldn't be so easy even if he wanted to be jealous.
Yuan Liwen and Yuan Lixun instantly exchanged glances. They were greatly moved.
In an aristocratic family, the position of the sixth son was far above that of the eldest grandson. This wasn't normal at all. However, not only did it happen in the He Family, but everyone seemed to take it as a matter of course.
Yuan Liwen frowned slightly. Her heart was suddenly in her throat. A thought faintly appeared in her mind, making her worried.
However, she hid it very well. Furthermore, due to her lowered head, no one noticed it.
The two women had different thoughts, but they stood side by side under the watchful eyes of the big shots. Although they were nervous, they behaved naturally and gracefully, without the slightest hesitation.
He Wude and the rest didn't make things difficult for the two of them. They only asked a few questions and gave a few instructions.
Then, the old master stroked his beard and said sternly, "Both of you are daughters of the Yuan Family. It's actually difficult for you to enter the He Family as concubines. I'll just say this. The He Family isn't a prestigious family and there aren't that many rules in the family. Both of you can stay here at ease. In the future, when you're with Yitian and Yiming, you will still need to take care of their daily lives. Thank you for everything. "
Yuan Liwen and Yuan Lixun bowed at the same time and said, "This is my duty as your granddaughter-in-law. Please rest assured, Grandfather."
When He Wude said that he accepted them and admitted that the He family didn't have as many rules as they thought, their hearts relaxed a little. However, they also understood that they still needed to work hard in the future to completely integrate into this large family.
He Wude waved his hand and said, "One Day, bring your wife to see Yanli."
He Yitian's face turned red. "Yes, grandfather." He went forward and gave a look to Yuan Liwen, who was at a loss. The latter nodded slightly and retreated with small steps.
After leaving the courtyard, Yuan Liwen suddenly stopped in her tracks.
He Yitian turned around and gently held her hand. He comforted her gently. "Liwen, are you worried about Yanli?"
Yuan Liwen hesitated for a moment. She felt the warmth in her palm and instantly felt a sense of reliance. Perhaps she didn't fall in love with He Yitian at first sight, but she deeply understood that this man was the one she could rely on for the rest of her life.
She was not the only one. Even her parents and relatives felt the same way.
"Young Master, will Sixth Uncle inherit the position of the family head in the future?" She asked softly.
He Yitian was stunned. Then, he couldn't help but laugh. "Impossible."
"Why? Sixth Uncle is an Innate Expert. "
"It's precisely because he's an Innate Expert that he can't inherit the position of the family head." He Yitian's gaze was complicated. There was relief in it, but there was also a trace of indescribable regret.
Yuan Liwen's beautiful brows seemed to frown slightly. "Why?"
"It's very simple. It's because the He Family Village can't keep him."
After saying this, not only He Yitian, but even Yuan Liwen felt an inexplicable sense of relief.
The two of them walked in silence. Along the way, they would occasionally exchange glances. Gradually, they developed a feeling of tacit understanding.
Finally, they arrived at the courtyard where He Yitian lived alone. They stopped in their tracks at the same time.
Yuan Liwen looked up. The scenery inside was beautiful, and it didn't suffer any losses in the thieves' disaster that almost affected the entire Taicang County.
When she agreed to marry He Yitao as his concubine, she knew that this would happen sooner or later. However, when it came to it, she still felt sad. However, she knew that she couldn't avoid this no matter what.
She listened to the young and moving voice coming from inside. Her eyes seemed to flash again with a trace of guilt and some relief from her parents, brothers, and sisters. Her heart ached, but her eyes became more and more gentle.
She took a step forward and entered the room in the courtyard.
"Little sister Yuan Liwen, kowtow to elder sister …"
※ ※ ※
After He Wude watched the two of them leave, the expression on his face suddenly softened. "Yiming."
He Yiming hurriedly bowed slightly in his seat. "Grandfather, what can I do for you?"
He Wude smiled. "Yiming, I didn't expect you to grow up and choose a wife for yourself."
He Yiming's face twitched slightly. Seeing the strange looks in the eyes of the four elders, he couldn't help but feel embarrassed. At this moment, in the face of the elders, he suddenly realized that being a Primordial expert didn't seem to be of much use.
However, he didn't think that if he wasn't a Primordial expert, then if he wanted to accept Yuan Lixun, not to mention He Wude would never agree, he was afraid that even He Quanxin and the other two brothers would not be able to get through.
"Grandfather, you're joking." He Yiming said bitterly after holding it in for a while.
He Wude was relieved and laughed a few times. "Yiming, no matter what, since you already have a wife, then you can't live in the same place anymore."
He Yiming hesitated for a moment and nodded slightly.
The eldest brother, He Yitian, originally lived in a small courtyard like the rest of the brothers. However, after he got married, he immediately moved to an independent large courtyard. As for the original small courtyard, it was still kept for him. It became a special practice room for him to practice his cultivation technique.
He Wude seemed to have made a decision long ago. Seeing He Yiming nod in agreement, he immediately said, "Quanyi, how is the tidying up of the West Wing?"
He Quanyi smiled and said, "Father, don't worry. It was tidying up three days ago and is ready now."
"Good, from now on, the West Wing belongs to Yiming." He Wude then turned his head and said, "Lixun, I'm afraid that Yiming's main energy will still be on practicing martial arts in the future. As for the miscellaneous things in his room, I'll leave it to you to take care of. I'll send a few people over. You can learn more from them. "
Yuan Lixun's face was red. She had also heard the teasing words of the old man just now. At this moment, she hurriedly said in a low voice, "Yes, Lixun will not let you down."
He Yiming's gaze turned and saw her blushing delicate appearance at this moment. His heart suddenly moved inexplicably. However, this kind of emotion was quickly suppressed by him. How could it be so easy to shake his rock-solid will?
He Wude nodded in satisfaction and said, "Yiming, from now on, twenty percent of the land in the manor will be under your name. Also, you will take half of the fifty thousand taels of sealwort this time. Half of the twenty percent of the Jinlin County's income will be yours in the future. "
He Quanxin and the other two were still smiling as if they had already known about this.
However, the three of them sighed in their hearts at the same time. The older the ginger, the spicier it was.
At this moment, the old man's methods were the same as the Yuan Family's. They were all tying He Yiming to the war chariot of the family's interests.
He Yiming was from the He Family and couldn't possibly ignore the He Family's difficulties. However, Grandpa Sheng thought about it deeper. If the older generation and the brothers of the same generation as Yiming all died, would Yiming still be the same as now and support the He Family for free?
It was necessary to prepare for a rainy day.
On this point, the old ancestor of the Xu Family in Taicang was an example.
He Yiming was slightly taken aback and said, "Grandfather, you must be mistaken. Why do I need so many things?"
He Wude waved his hand and said, "I have already decided. Let's do it this way."
He Yiming opened his mouth and blinked twice. When he suddenly heard his grandfather's heroic words, he immediately swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
He Wude smiled in satisfaction and said, "You have walked for such a long time. You should be tired. Yiming, go and rest."
He Yiming hurriedly stood up and brought Yuan Lixun away from the interested gazes of the elders as if they were fleeing for their lives.
After they left, He Wude laughed in spite of himself and said, "I thought he had really grown up. Turns out he is still a little kid."
He Quanxin and the other two laughed involuntarily.
However, He Wude was just saying it. No matter who it was, after thinking of He Yiming's howling arrival that morning, it was impossible to associate him with an ordinary little kid.
※ ※ ※
The West Wing was one of the best courtyards in the He Family.
Whether it was the courtyard where He Quanxin and his brothers lived or the courtyard where He Wude lived, they were all inferior to the West Wing.
This time, after deliberately and meticulously dressing up, she looked even more beautiful and magnificent.
Of course, in the eyes of He Yiming and Yuan Lixun, it was just so-so. Because their knowledge and experience was not something that the little He Family Manor, which only had a few decades of history, could compare to.
After entering the courtyard, more than ten servants immediately came up to greet them. These people were all personally appointed by He Wude. They were all intelligent people. It could be seen that the old man really cared about them.
Among these people, the most surprising thing was that there was actually an accountant. All the assets under He Yiming's name were managed by him. He would only leave the West Wing after Yuan Lixun familiarized herself with the process.
After He Yiming met them, he waved his hand and dismissed them.
These people were all old people in the manor and basically knew everything about them. But thinking about it, with He Yiming's current status, if they were not servants of known origins, they would not be sent here.
When Yuan Lixun and He Yiming were in the same room, this beautiful girl suddenly became nervous. The blush on her face seemed to grow thicker.
However, He Yiming did not notice this. Instead, he instructed in detail, "Lixun, although grandfather gave those things to me, I have no use for them. These few days, you will learn how to manage the accounts. Think of a way to find an excuse to send those gold taels to Third Uncle. " He paused and said, "After all, our manor was just established not long ago. We are far from being able to use such extravagance. I am a person who cultivates the way of martial arts. Having enough money is enough. Tens of thousands of gold taels may not be a good thing for me. "
After he finished what he wanted to say, he did not hear the response he expected. He Yiming turned his head in astonishment and saw Yuan Lixun staring at him with a pair of beautiful big eyes with a flushed face.
He Yiming scratched his head. It seemed that he had not done this for a long time. But he did not know why, but at this moment, he faintly felt a trace of restraint. Thus, he did it again.
Yuan Lixun slightly lowered her head. In a voice as soft as a bug's, she said, "Yes, this concubine will remember Sir Young Master's words."
He Yiming immediately felt a chill run down his spine. Although he knew that the Yuan family's rules were definitely more strict than the He family's, he was still not used to being addressed in such a formal manner.
Yuan Lixun's gaze turned and she sighed in her heart.
If they were in the Yuan family, there would already be a servant girl serving fragrant tea and a hot towel to wash his hands. But in the He family, there was simply no one who knew about this.
She went to the kitchen and asked for hot water. She prepared the tea and a clean towel. She prepared warm water and personally served him.
He Yiming's gaze followed her body. He saw that she was directing everything in an orderly manner. Especially when she handed over the hot towel, her eyes flashed with a kind of expression that made his heart beat again.
※ ※ ※
In the He family manor, everything had already returned to normal. He Yiming moved out of his own small courtyard and lived in the west wing. He became the only child in the entire third generation of the He family apart from He Yitian. Other than that, there were no other changes.
As night fell, the He family manor quietened down. Most of the people had entered dreamland.
In the side room of the Sutra Depository, He Laibao suddenly stood up. Due to his old age, his slightly hunched back suddenly straightened. A strong aura surged out from this old man's body. He opened his eyes slightly and shot out a sharp ray of light. He stared intently outside the tightly shut window.
There, a black figure had appeared out of nowhere.
"Who …" He shouted sternly.
As He Quanxin had just returned from the Yuan family in Jinlin, he did not stay here. Instead, he returned to his own room to rest for a few days. In the entire courtyard of the Sutra Depository, he was the only one guarding it.
At this moment, he suddenly realized that there was an additional figure outside the door. It was imaginable how shocked he was.
But no matter how he thought about it, he was unable to determine where exactly this person came from. He actually dared to enter the manor of a Connate Expert. This was not an ordinary kind of courage.
An extremely familiar light cough came from outside the door. He Laibao immediately relaxed.
His back, which was as straight as a javelin, instantly bent down again. He opened the door and said with a hint of complaint, "Old Master, why did you learn from Yiming and stay silent?"
Ever since He Yiming reached the Connate Realm and came to the Sutra Depository, He Laibao could no longer discover him.
Now, He Wude was the same. He could not help but feel that he was old and useless.
He Wude laughed and walked into the room openly. Then, he sat on the table and flipped his wrist. He took out a jade bottle and placed it on the table.
"Laibao, I'm here this time to give you the Golden Elixir." He Wude waved his hand and said unreasonably, "You're not allowed to refuse."
He Laibao was stunned. The old man had not spoken to him in such a tone for decades.
He laughed bitterly and said, "Old Great Master, to be honest, it's not that I don't want to take the Golden Elixir. I'm just afraid."
"What are you afraid of?" He Wude asked in surprise.
He Laibao looked serious and asked, "Old Great Master, if you had the Connate Golden Elixir, would you choose to take it?"
He Wude was stunned. He hesitated for a while before he answered, "I don't know."
He Laibao sighed softly and said, "Old Great Master, we're too old. The vitality in our bodies is gradually declining. If we take the Golden Elixir, I'm afraid that not only will we not be able to break through, but our lives will also be in danger."
He Wude laughed involuntarily and said, "Laibao, before today, I had nothing to say if you refused to take it. This was because I wasn't sure if your body could withstand the Golden Elixir's medicinal power. However, there's a solution to this now. "
He flipped his wrist again and took out another jade bottle as if he was performing magic. He placed it flat on the table and said, "This is the Energy Golden Elixir that Yiming brought back from his trip. Take one first and recuperate for one or two months. You'll definitely be full of energy. When that time comes, take the Ultimate Golden Elixir and break through the limit of the ninth level. The possibility of reaching the peak of the tenth level will be much higher."
He Laibao's eyes sparkled. He said in shock, "Energy Golden Elixir? Sixth Young Master, you found it too? "
He Wude smiled bitterly and said, "Yiming, this child, cannot be judged by common sense."
He Laibao hesitated for a while before he nodded slowly. He agreed with his evaluation of Yiming.
He Wude said slowly, "Laibao, take the Golden Elixir and advance to the tenth level. Then, we'll bring Yiming back to the mountain. I want to show them that even if we leave Hengshan, we're still not inferior to anyone. "
He Laibao agreed heavily. At this moment, there was a glow in his eyes that did not belong to an old man.
Outside the Hidden Scriptures Pavilion, a black shadow scratched his head and disappeared instantly. The two people inside did not notice at all.
He Yiming had a question in his heart.
Hengshan?
Was there such a mountain …
