Advance the future and become a martial saint on earth!

Chapter 53: Choose a son-in-law, give him benefits, and if you wish, give you a chance to join the "school"!

Lin Zhai.

noon.

The quaint mahogany carved dining table is covered with a delicate and soft brocade tablecloth.

The decorative patterns sewn with gold thread appear faintly in the morning light shining through the window.

Steamed fish with black bean sauce, braised pork with red bean sauce, lotus root with sweet osmanthus and candied osmanthus, goose stewed with five spices.
There were more than a dozen plates of meticulously crafted dishes, shiny and full of sauce flavor.

The fresh spotted sea bass was still making a slight gurgling sound, its tail curled up, whetting the appetite.

"My dear nephew, pick up your chopsticks, pick up your chopsticks quickly!"

Lin Zhenhai smiled and looked at the young man in black on his left who looked calm and had a straight back, and couldn't help but feel emotional.

How long has it been?

From a servant to a groom, he was destined to be unable to turn the tables just under the watchful eyes of Lin's family.

Even if he became a warrior and was appreciated by the young master of Huoyao Lu Village, at most he could become a swordsman and live a decent life.

After all, isn't he just an errand boy?

Without ten or eight years of hard work and without offending his family, he is not worthy of sitting at the table with me!
结果
In less than two months.

This kid actually became the head of a branch of Fengyun Society, and it was the most important medicine branch!

What a pity.

His Lin residence was located next to the kiln, and he usually purchased and bought elixirs, including those for his own bone tempering and skin refining needs, all of which were ordered from Master Huang of the former medicine house.

Moreover, the Lin family has a lot of properties.

But in the final analysis, they all opened shops in the firewood market or under the kilns, and he was only a perfect bone temperer, so he was naturally inferior to other bosses.

If he hadn't had a daughter who had also perfected bone tempering and was even stronger than him.

I'm afraid that now that he sees Ji Xiu, he may not be able to stand up straight!
After all, you need help from others, and they really want to make things difficult for you. Do you have to run from East Street to West Street to the three major gangs, or go to the downtown area of the inner city to buy secret elixirs from the four major halls next time you want to buy some pills and medicinal powders?
It was really tiring going back and forth.

But now
Things are different.

He glanced at Ji Xiu from the corner of his eyes.

Then he saw his second daughter, Lin Ruyue, who had black hair, tassels and a jade hairpin.

Under the snow fox cotton coat she wore, she was wearing a long cloud-pleated skirt. Her eyes were clear as she lowered her head to look at her two clenched hands, pursing her lips, not knowing what she was thinking.

For a moment, his eyes were filled with smiles:

"Ji Xiu, I won't be so secretive anymore. I'll just speak frankly."

"The last time you spoke, you helped me get rid of the 'rats' in the Lin residence and eliminated the hidden dangers for Ruyue. To be honest, I have always wanted to see you."

"You are too polite, sir."

"I was grateful to the Second Miss for her kindness back then. Otherwise, I would not have achieved what I have today."

"When a gentleman is poor, he will take care of himself; when he is rich, he will help the world."

"Since I am safe, I happened to meet Miss Ruxue that night and revealed the secret to her. But it was just a casual thing, so it's nothing."

Ji Xiu raised his chopsticks, picked up a piece of smooth sea bass meat and put it into his mouth. With just a slight sip, the smooth and tender taste suddenly exploded, and he couldn't help but praise it inwardly.

Only these wealthy families can enjoy it.

Whether it was the meals at Huoyao or Fengyunhui, they were all tendon-replenishing and blood-boosting dishes, large chunks of meat and other ingredients stewed together into a paste. They were far inferior to what his little sister cooked, let alone compared to this table.

If it weren't for the meal costing dozens of taels from Feiyan Tower, nothing else could compare to this meal.

This calm demeanor, coupled with that sentence, made the three people at the table stunned at the same time.

"Be good to yourself and benefit the world"

Lin Zhenhai's eyes were filled with surprise.

This boy is so knowledgeable and well-read. Where did he learn it?

With such a lofty ambition, no wonder he is unwilling to be mediocre.

Thinking about the current situation, I couldn't help but give a sincere exhortation:

"Boy, I adopted you as my adopted son so as not to lose face for my Lin family in front of the young master of Lu Manor." "Otherwise, if I let a little brat go, then the rules of my Lin family, so many guards and coaches, would become a mere decoration."

"So, I don't want you to leave so easily, but."

"I now sincerely change my mind."

His expression became more serious:
"You were involved in the Fengyun Society's events a few days ago, so you must be aware of them."

"The 'Qigong Master' of Jiangyin Prefecture has given the owners of the three major businesses a way out and given them the key to open the prefecture."

"But after all their drastic efforts, they couldn't even gain a foothold."

"You have to know that in this 500-li Anning County, the four major museums are backed by the 'industry, the aristocratic families', as well as the 'county government, the government'."

"From ancient times to the present, there has never been a rule for Qigong masters to come to such a remote place. No matter how much the Fengyun Society struggles, at most they can only send one of their subordinates here."

"But a powerful dragon cannot defeat a local snake. Besides, Yang Daohan has broken through the second level of skin refining and has become an outer martial artist. He is so confident that he can half-cripple Lu Chengfeng. Can you say that he has no one behind him?"

"The water here is muddy."

"When you are in the world, you will inevitably get hurt."

"If you continue to wade in there, you may get stuck in it and ruin your own cultivation."

He sighed:
"My daughter is 28 years old this year, and I have no children except those three. I have been planning to choose a son-in-law for Ruyue these years."

"Ji Xiu."

"I intend to choose you as my son-in-law. What do you think?"

Lin Ruyue lowered her head and suddenly fell silent.

Ji Xiu's raised hand also stopped in mid-air.

He glanced at Lin Ruyue, whose neck was slightly red, and was silent.

At this age when one is full of vigor and vitality, it is impossible to say that there are no needs.

But he has always lived in an oppressive environment, gritting his teeth and holding his breath to climb up.

If Lin Ruyue appreciated him when he was a groom and Lin Zhenhai chose him as his son-in-law, he would be ecstatic.
The state of mind is different.

"If you are willing, I will give you a chance to settle in 'Fucheng'."

"My school is called 'Xiao Wu Shuai Sword School', which contains the real secret martial arts. Since you can cultivate the rudiments of the Golden Muscle and Jade Meridian, I will take you and my little sister to Jiangyin to become my respected master's disciples."

"The legacy of a Qigong master, an opportunity for a class leap."

"You think about it carefully."

"The top three positions in Fengyun Society cannot give you these."

However, before Ji Xiu could refuse.

Lin Ruxue, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke.

Just a few sentences.

Call him
Completely stunned.

School, city?
He had heard rumors about 'Jiangyin Prefecture' from Lu Hongyu.

Sometimes, when Old Man Huang came back from watching operas, he would grit his teeth and say that the "various businesses and livelihoods" in Jiangyin Prefecture were much better than those in this remote and poor countryside along the 500-mile mountain road.

Only the wealthy families with some reputation in Anning County had the opportunity to practice martial arts from birth.

But in Jiangyin Prefecture, as long as you get involved in any industry, even if it is a "carriage, ship, store or porter", there are different ways and channels, and there is a complete system for the promotion of warriors.

The old saying has been said.

It would take a lifetime to find a Qigong master along the 500-li mountain road.

But Jiangyin Prefecture owns thirteen ferry crossings from north to south and is the capital of water conservancy in Cangzhou and even in "Daxuan". If you can't become a master of Qigong, you can't establish your own school!
The gap is huge.

This is enough to prove it.

so.
Ji Xiu couldn't help but feel a little moved.
