fairy cage.

The Yu family in Qianjun County, as an ancestor, had a seventh-rank Taoist official, and now there are families with Taoist disciples in the family. Although they are not very famous in Qiandi County, the area of ​​the mansion is still quite large.

Relying on the legacy of the ancestors, the members of the Yu family who are still in the genealogy do not need to live in crowded rents under low and dense eaves like the bottom poor in Diving County, but can enjoy independent courtyards.

Even the layout of the fields, gardens, bamboo forests, nurseries, etc. in the Yu family's residence can bring a lot of income to the Yu family every year.

But just as Yu Lie saw when he stepped into the residence of Yu's family, the current Yu's family has been deteriorating year after year. The outside is barely glamorous, but the inside can no longer be maintained.

It is proof that none of the mortals of the Yu family, such as Yu Tian and Erniang, have settled down.

You must know that although Erniang Yutian is just an ordinary mortal, the three children under her knees are different. Apart from Yu Lie, the other party actually has a child who also passed the Taoist entrance examination, has Taoism, and is a Taoist.

Relatives of Taoists like Erniang Yutian can breed Taoist heirs for the Yu family. At least three generations can stay in the family tree steadily and will not be excluded. It doesn’t mean sharing wealth with the family, but as long as For the Yu family to exist for a day, they must have a mouthful of food.

As a result, the current Yu family can't even guarantee the money and food of Taoist relatives. Whether it falls into the eyes of outsiders or the clansmen, it is a prelude to a building that is about to collapse and is about to be precarious.

At this time, in the main hall of the Yu family, nearly a hundred people were surrounded.

All of these people are young and strong, only those who sit in high chairs have middle-aged or old complexions, and they are quite old at first glance.

He pointed at the forehead of the female Taoist priest, and said loudly: "I have found out clearly that my mother gave birth to me, a worthless person, and you, a successful person, also raised a third brother, a boy of one family and two ways, in Huang's house." It's a hot commodity among idlers.

The sad middle-aged man is the patriarch of the current generation of the Yu family.

A murmuring sound suddenly sounded in the main hall:

After a stalemate for a while, the head of the Yu family looked at the other party's cold gaze, and said in a low voice:

On the contrary, in the center of the main hall, there are several middle-aged or elderly people sitting cross-legged on top chairs, talking and laughing freely, and there is only one middle-aged man surrounded by young and strong people, with a worried expression in his eyes.

Everyone stared at the young Taoist, and found that they didn't recognize the appearance of the Taoist, but the square man who spoke just now, and the female Taoist who was kneeling on the ground, felt that the person who came was somewhat familiar, and felt that the facial features of the other party were familiar.

What's wrong with joining the Huang family?It seems that the younger sister was married in the past, only six or seven years ago, and now she is already a high-ranking Taoist boy.If it accumulates for another ten or eight years, with the help of the Huang family, maybe the little girl can become a Taoist.At that time, with the younger sister around, the Huang family will only treat my bloodline more kindly. "

Especially when he looked around, he found that, as the girl said, there were actually quite a few dark-faced people among the young and young men of the Yu family who were filled with righteous indignation. A small number of people even look forward to it.

In order for your son to practice well in Qianzhou Daocheng, the spiritual tree nursery, Yunling fish pond, etc. in your family have been mortgaged to my Huang family and other families early on, so what is left now? Down? "

The sound was so loud that many people in the main hall looked at the women's way with disgust.Even the members of the Huang family squinted their eyes slightly and did not stand up to speak.

But when they looked at the old woman supported by Yu Lie again, both of them were stunned, and blurted out:

The female priest put on a sullen face, pretending to speak calmly:
"Brother joked, but my younger sister always remembers that I am doing it for everyone's benefit.

The people who walked in from outside the hall were Yu Lie and Yu Tian's.

As he said that, Huang's old man's complexion softened again, and he said softly:

This person has a square face, although his appearance is already middle-aged and his eyes are empty, but one can tell that this person was once a handsome person.Even in middle age, his skin is still crystal clear, and there is divine light flowing in his vain eyes. Anyone with insight will know that this person has true energy in his body and is also a Taoist.

"Look at the other things in the house that you can see with your own eyes. If you like it, our two clans can sign a contract. As long as you pay the money and food truthfully a year ago, when you sell it next year, it must be your yellow Home comes first."

While Yu Lie watched the reaction of everyone in the hall, he calmly slapped his head and shouted: "Poverty, I have seen you all!"

Hearing this, the head of the Yu family widened his eyes. He looked at the speaking woman, recognized her, and said, "You are the daughter of Erniang Yutian, the second eldest, the second younger sister of Yutian?"

The young children saw the right thing, and the old man personally acted as a matchmaker to ensure their marriage.For those who live alone, the old man is also willing to draw a red thread and renew their good relationship. "

Because she heard the conversation between a son and a daughter in the hall just now, the sadness on Yu Tian's face was suppressed by surprise in an instant.

An old man in a pale yellow Taoist robe sipped his tea arrogantly, and said:
"Have you thought about it, Mr. Huang came here today with sincerity. As long as you agree, Mr. Huang will definitely give you money and food."

At the same time as he was holding his head, Yu Tian, ​​who was supported by his other hand, had a different kind of light in his pale eyes.

When the old Huang family heard it, he sneered and said:
"Patriarch Yu was joking, why did he become a businessman? The population of your Yu family is all registered on the genealogy. If we do business, the county will also ask. Now it's just to see your Yu family now. The scene, for the sake of the in-laws of the two families, please let the members of the Yu family be willing to stay in my Huang's house if they are willing to be quiet...

boom!
The head of the Yu family didn't pat the table, but the old man of the Huang family slapped it with his hands suddenly, and stood up abruptly. He looked at the head of the Yu family coldly, and said unceremoniously:
"If Patriarch Yu is still around, I would not dare to be so disrespectful for the sake of the relationship between the two clans. But how can I be afraid of you, a Taoist who has reached the eighth rank by relying on your legacy?"

Although the patriarch of the Yu family is a Taoist, there are many young and strong members of the Yu family behind him, including the Taoist boy of the Yu family who has passed the Taoist book, but his face turned red when he heard the words of the old man of the Huang family, and he dared not stand up He slapped the table with his body.

Hearing the woman's sophistry, Fangzheng laughed angrily:

It's just that there are a large number of people in the hall, the sound of conversations, even yelling, and Yu Lie used his own sleepy bugs to actively restrain his breath, so no one noticed that there were people outside the hall standing.

The man sighed softly: "The state city is expensive, and it is not easy to live in, but it is also the best place to learn Taoism. After hearing that your son has become a Taoist, he vowed to stay in the state city as well. I am not willing to go back to this diving county.

Sitting on her knees and speaking, she nodded with a weeping sound.

In addition to the two people who have been with Yu Lie day and night, there are also some clansmen who played with Yu Lie since childhood in the hall, or the elders who watched him grow up. They combine the feelings of Yu Tian and her two children. In response, Yu Lie was also recognized.

She tightly grasped Yu Lie's sleeve robe, and tried to open her eyes wide, trying to see clearly the slender Taoist standing beside her, but her eyes were blurred.

But the person who came was walking like a breeze, with a dignified appearance, and his whole body was filled with Dao Qi, which made Fang Zheng's man and the female Daoist on the ground dare not speak out, for fear of admitting his mistake.

Just at this moment, a calm female Taoist also came out. She knelt on the ground, cupped her hands towards the head of the Yu family, and said in a sobbing voice:
"Patriarch, what Huang Lao said is true. My Yu family has already fallen into such a situation. Why don't you let my family members go, and it is an excellent choice to be like a little girl in Huang's family. Is it possible, you Do you really think that the big guys in the clan are all against this?"

When the head of the Yu family heard it, his face turned even redder, and he also stood up quickly, but he still couldn't say any harsh words.

The Huang family is also happy to see the appearance of the female Taoist. It seems that in this way, the female Taoist will undoubtedly become more attached to their Huang family and ignore her mother's family.

But in this way, when the Yu family has no successors, when the head of the Yu family is exhausted, or goes to the state city to enjoy the blessings with the noble son, won't this huge Yu family be removed? "

"Mother.", "Amother!"

Sure enough, young people have big ambitions!

As she spoke, she looked at Fangzheng with a chuckle, and asked, "If I don't enter the Huang family, what shall I do in the future? Do I ask for trouble and harm future generations?"

Suddenly, Yu Tian's expression froze again, and he hurriedly pulled Yu Lie out of the main hall, and said anxiously:

He murmured: "If my Yu family had capable people, I wouldn't have fallen to such a state..."

But when the female Taoist raised her head, her face changed, and finally she just said with a sneer:

Yu Tian murmured: "I should have thought of it long ago, I should have thought of it long ago..."

But suddenly, another person came out from the crowd of the Yu family, and yelled at the nun who was kneeling on the ground: "Second sister, you are so shameless!"

There was anger in the eyes of the young and strong people, as if they were about to spew out fire, but each of them gritted their teeth tightly, suppressing themselves, not daring to speak nonsense.

In fact, they didn't arrive just now, but they had already stood outside the main hall early in the morning, listening in.

On the pretty face of the kneeling female Taoist, she was poked for a mouthful of saliva, and her complexion changed suddenly.

After the head of the Yu family finished speaking, there was a sudden sound of light footsteps at the door, followed by a sneer:
"Why, the huge Yu family really doesn't even have any capable people, yet they are bullied to such an extent?"

Hesitating, the head of the Yu family murmured: "The New Year is coming, if there is no money and food, the big guys in the clan will really suffer..."

"Brother Yu San is so big!"

The Fangzheng man drank in disgust: "Do you still think of our mother as my mother?!"

I saw a young Taoist coming from outside the hall, and he was supporting an old woman in his hand.

The head of the Yu family said with difficulty: "This, what should I do, even if my Yu family buys fields and sells land, I can't buy or sell clan members!"

"Brother Yu third?"

This voice was louder than Fangzheng's angry shout just now, and it immediately attracted everyone's attention, and they followed the sound.

The head of the Yu family just cupped his hands in embarrassment and said:
"Your Excellency can really say such humiliating words. If the old patriarch is still here, would you still dare to humiliate people like this?"

"However, Patriarch Yu is also a bit far-sighted. With such hard work, he really won the honorable son. He became a Taoist in three years, which is enough to enter the entrance standard of the Taoist palace. He is not a person in the county, but a Taoist in the state city. gone."

And the yellow-robed Taoist who was talking to him happened to be a Taoist of the Huang family, but this person was not the patriarch of the Huang family, but just an old man of the Huang family.

Even at a very old age, there are still people who want to take our mother and have a child.Even if she can't have children, even if she becomes a mother-in-law, it would be great to raise the next generation of his Huang family. "

But such a sentence caused the elder Huang's family to laugh even more:
"Patriarch Yu, can there be good things left behind from your ancestors? Don't lie to me. You and I are relatives by marriage. How can we not know the situation of the Yu family.

Everyone looked at the head of the Yu family and seemed to be about to let go.

The old Huang's words became persuasive and caring: "Now moving the members of the Yu family into my Huang's mansion is just for the sake of your blood. If it weren't for the intermarriage between you and me , there are children of your family as lobbyists in the clan, how can my clan be like this?"

"Heh! It's for everyone's benefit. Since that's the case, aside from other things, do you know what will happen if our mother enters the Huang family?"

After he finished speaking, he looked at the sad middle-aged man in a black Taoist robe beside him, and asked, "Patriarch Yu, what do you think, what do you think?"

Hearing the scolding in the hall, the head of the Yu family sighed for a while: "You made a crime, you made a crime!"

The Fangzheng man shouted loudly: "You still recognize my big brother? Do you know that the Huang family is going to chew up my Yu family, and the family property has been emptied, and now it's even hit on the heads of our family members. You still remember your last name is Yu!"

Recognizing their old lady, Fang Zheng and Yu Tian's second sister looked at Yu Lie again, with astonishment and excitement on their faces.

Seeing that he was married into the Huang family, the head of the Yu family was speaking to the Huang family, and suddenly didn't know what to say.

"Big brother."

Her face was full of surprise and relief, mixed with self-blame and mixed feelings.

"Is that you, third brother?"

This person has a square face and a simple and honest appearance, which makes people know that he is a good hand at work, but he is not wearing a Taoist skin, he is not a Taoist boy, he is just an ordinary person, he can at most know a few martial arts, and his status is far inferior to the Taoist.

"Everyone is mistaken. This Daoist is not the third brother. The third brother is learning Taoism at the middle school in Heishui Town, and he is very quiet.

Big guy, don't admit to the wrong person just because of the old lady, and get into trouble for the Taoist priest. "

Yu Lie was pulled by Mrs. Yu Tian, ​​and raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard the other party's first words.But when he heard what the other party said later, his originally breezy eyes suddenly became extremely complicated.

Yu Lie opened his mouth, his mouth squirmed, and he called out:
"Second... Mother, it's me."

"Eh,,"
