Family Rise: Start with Daily Intelligence

Brother Fan is getting married. As his grandfather, Liu Qingmin, the head of the Liu family, was stunned for a while when he heard the news.

His grandson Liu Yuntian was beside him. The two were playing Go. Liu Yuntian whispered:

"Grandpa, I remember that the girl who married Cousin Fan was just the daughter of a casual cultivator. Before they entered the Fu family, they were so poor that they couldn't survive. Why did my aunt choose this marriage for Cousin Fan? If I had known this. , it’s better to let Sister Qi marry her.”

Liu Qingmin glared at his grandson.

scolded:

"No matter how big or small, you can question the decision of the mistress. That's it for today's Go game. You can go back."

Wait until Liu Yuntian leaves.

The old housekeeper behind him took a step forward and whispered:

"Master, what Mr. Yuntian said just now is rude or not. Miss Qi has been teaching you since she was a child. It's time to take her out to see the world."

"Well, you ask Qi'er to get ready. Brother Fan's wedding is being held in Yunshan County. We have to leave in the afternoon. Otherwise, if we are delayed in the middle, we won't be able to make it."

"Yes, Master"

The old housekeeper took the order and left.

Soon.

Qier, who was only 28 years old, was brought over. Liu Qingmin looked at the other party's clothes, shook his head and said: "Your aunt has liked cyan since she was a child. Let's change into another one when we go back. I'll wait for you at the bottom of the mountain."

Liu Qingmin went down the mountain.

When we arrived at the mountain gate.

But he saw two cranes galloping from a distance. The ones riding on the cranes were Patriarch Wu and a beautiful female cultivator.

Patriarch Wu pointed his toes at the crane and landed lightly from above. He smiled and cupped his hands to Liu Qingmin:

"Brother Liu, are you going to Yunshan County for a wedding banquet? If you don't mind, how about we go together on my crane?"

The Wu family is good at controlling animals.

Originally, the Lei and Wu families had been married for generations.

The Wu family has always obeyed the Lei family, but with the death of the previous generation of Lei clan chiefs and the opening of Qingcheng Mountain resources, the Wu family learned that the Lei family had been secretly planting many magical flowers and herbs in Qingcheng Mountain, and through Unknown second entrance, transport out.

these years.

The Lei family all treated the Wu family as fools.

And through various signs.

The ancestors of the Wu family probably discovered this secret back then and were killed by the Lei family.

Since then.

The alliance between the Lei and Wu families was broken.

As the in-laws of the Fu family, the Liu family naturally became the head of the three major qi-training families in Anyang County. The Wu family has always looked to the Liu family as the leader.

Liu Qingmin is Fu Changsheng's father-in-law.

No matter which qi training family he belongs to, he is highly respected.

Liu Qingmin smiled and cupped his hands and said:

"Well, thank you very much, Brother Wu."

While talking.

Qier also changed into a long blue dress.

Qier and the female cultivator of the Wu family rode a crane together, while Liu Qingmin and the Wu clan leader rode another crane on the way to Yunshan County.

Patriarch Wu felt that the atmosphere was almost over. He looked back at his little granddaughter and said to Liu Qingmin with a bit of flattery:

"Brother Liu, I heard that your eldest grandson's wife is the daughter of the former casual cultivator Cai Xiangu. Look, I don't ask my Yingying to be on an equal footing with her. Now that I'm in the Fu family's fiefdom, can you help communicate with your children? , let my granddaughter Yingying marry Brother Fan as my concubine?"

Show your courtesy for nothing.

Sure enough, I wanted something.

Liu Qingmin was also magnanimous, shook his head and said:

"Brother Wu, Mei Zhen swore an oath back then and had nothing to do with the Liu family. Now our Liu family can still keep in touch with the Fu family. It's all thanks to the arrogance of the head of the Fu family. Regardless of the past grudges, I said nothing in front of Mei Zhen. There’s nothing I can say about it, otherwise”

Having said that.

Liu Qingmin's intention to decline was already clear.

Patriarch Wu came today with another important thing in mind. Seeing this, he didn't do anything difficult. He turned to look solemn and mentioned another important thing:

"Brother Liu, the Wanning Chamber of Commerce is about to hold an auction for Foundation Establishment Pills. Do you know about this?"

The auction has become known to everyone.

How could Liu Qingmin not know this?

He nodded slightly.

Patriarch Wu sent a message:

"Brother Liu, your Liu family has been recuperating for twenty years. You should have gathered together a spiritual stone for the Foundation Establishment Pill. Don't you want to take this opportunity to give it a try?"

Liu Qingmin is in his early sixties.

In these years, he has been pampered and has not fought with others. His Qi and blood are still sufficient, and he has reached the peak of Qi training five years ago. If he has a foundation-building pill, he will naturally have a certain chance of succeeding in foundation-building.

Liu Qingmin's eyes narrowed:

"Brother Wu, do you want the Fu family to take you to the auction?"

Patriarch Wu blinked.

I didn’t expect Liu Qingmin’s mind to spin so quickly, and he nodded quickly:

"Exactly, I heard that this Wanning Chamber of Commerce auction will be the most grand in the past century. Not only our Huainan Prefecture monks will gather, but even people from Huaibei Prefecture will flock here. By then, Wanningfang City will It’s guarded by people from the Zhenshi Division, so it’s probably not safe.”

"If we can follow the Fu family, the rest of us will not dare to touch the Fu family, no matter how brave they are. The Fu family is still protected by the eighth-grade Shangguan family, and I heard that Cao Xiang'er, the chief cultivator of the Zi Mansion who has been promoted, is still you. My daughter’s best friend has these two connections and is with the Fu family, so we definitely don’t have to worry about our safety.”

"Brother Liu"

"I ask for nothing else"

"When we get to the fiefdom, you can introduce me to him so that I can meet the head of the Fu family."

Patriarch Wu knew this well.

The Liu family can't help much, but being a middleman can help.

Said.

Patriarch Wu stuffed a box into Liu Qingmin's hand.

Liu Qingmin glanced at the box cover with a gap exposed, his eyes lit up slightly, he put the box into his bag without leaving a trace, nodded slightly and said:

"Okay, when I see Mei Zhen, I will help you pass the message on, but as for whether the head of the Fu family will see you or not, I can't guarantee it."

Patriarch Wu felt relieved when he heard this.

They arrived four days before the wedding. They thought they were the first batch, but they saw that the Lei family, who was also in Anyang County, arrived earlier.

but.

Chief Lei was arranged to Huikeyuan at the foot of the mountain, and it seemed that he had not yet been able to meet the head of the Fu family.

Because Liu Qingyun had just come down from the crane, Chief Lei couldn't wait to give him a gift and asked Liu Qingyun to deliver the message in front of Liu Meizhen.

Liu Qingyun refused.

In the past twenty years, the Wu family has been really good to the Liu family. He would help them both emotionally and rationally. But the Lei family was different because Mei Zhen said after he took over the Liu family:

"Keep distance from the Lei family"

His life was in his daughter's hands, so he naturally didn't dare to disobey her.

Liu Qingmin straightened his clothes and took Qier to the Patriarch's Mansion. He waited in front of the door for about a cup of tea, and then was led into the outer courtyard by the guards, and drank half a cup of tea in the living room.

I heard familiar footsteps outside the door.

Liu Qingmin quickly waved to Qier, who was sitting dry and about to fall asleep:

"Your aunt is coming."

Qier immediately lost all sleep.

The two stood in front of the door.

The door opens.

Liu Meizhen walked in from the outside with a hint of tiredness. After sitting down at the top position, she glanced at Qi'er, who had her head lowered. There seemed to be a hint of memory in her eyes, and then she pointed to the seat beside her and said:

"Father, sit down. I have been busy with Brother Fan's wedding these days. I have kept my father waiting for a long time."

"No, no, Qier and I have just arrived. Qier, please salute your aunt quickly."

Liu Qingmin's body tensed slightly.

It was as if she was seeing someone other than her own daughter, with more awe than intimacy.

"Qier has met her aunt"

Qier bowed to Liu Meizhen generously, and even quickly raised her eyes to look at this legendary aunt written in the history of the Liu family. She just glanced at it, and then quickly lowered her head.

"Yeah, he's a good boy."

Liu Meizhen raised her hand and took a sip of tea.

Liu Qingmin immediately understood what it meant and whispered to Qier:

"Your aunt and I have something to discuss, Qier, you go out first."

"Yes, Grandpa"

Qier bowed.

After leaving the living room, I saw a formation light curtain rising in the hall.

inside the hall.

Liu Qingmin swallowed and said:

"Mei Zhen, Qier, I brought you here. I taught you from childhood according to the guide you gave me. Are you satisfied with it?"

"You won't know if you are satisfied or not until you stay with me for a while."

"Mei Zhen, what do you mean?"

"After the banquet, I will tell the public that Qier is destined to me and I want her to stay with me in the fief for a while. As for Qier, your mission is completed."

"yes"

When Liu Qingmin heard this, his heart felt empty.

Since Qier was born.

He then received the order from Meizhen and took her to his side to raise her. After so many years, how could he not have feelings for her?

I just felt lonely for a moment.

Liu Qingmin was quick to see Liu Meizhen serve tea to see off the guests, and quickly brought up the important matters of his visit:

"Mei Zhen, can you do me a little favor?"

Liu Meizhen rolled her eyes.

He immediately guessed what it was and said calmly:

"Father, do you want to participate in the Wanning Chamber of Commerce auction with Changsheng?"    "Exactly"

Liu Qingmin looked at Liu Meizhen nervously with some expectation and anxiety.

Afraid of saying anything bad from the other person's mouth.

Liu Meizhen knocked on the table:

"Father, what do you think your chances of being promoted to Foundation Establishment are?"

Liu Qingmin didn't know why.

But he still said honestly:

"I am over sixty years old, so my vitality and blood are naturally not as good as those of young people. But fortunately, there are no hidden dangers left in my body. If I have a Foundation Establishment Pill, I should be 30% sure."

"Then father, do you know why the Wanning Chamber of Commerce suddenly launched a large-scale bid for Foundation Establishment Pills?"

"Because everyone wants to kill them before the beast tide arrives"

Halfway through.

Liu Qingmin's face turned pale instantly.

Somewhat absentmindedly said:

"Mei Zhen, you...you mean that I won't succeed in building the foundation?"

"Father, I really don't know whether you can succeed in building a foundation, but compared to you, Yuntian's success rate in breaking through to build a foundation should be higher than yours. If I remember correctly, Yuntian is a place that has been rarely seen in the Liu family for hundreds of years. Spiritual roots.”

As soon as this statement came out.

Liu Qingmin's pupils shrank.

His body subconsciously took a step back.

Because of Liu Yuntian's spiritual roots, the entire clan, not even Yuntian himself, knew about it. Only Liu Qingmin knew about it, and the purpose was naturally to protect Liu Yuntian's growth.

only.

How did Mei Zhen know this?

Liu Meizhen said lightly:

"The Liu family has worked hard to save for twenty years before collecting a spiritual stone for the Foundation Establishment Pill. Father, think about it carefully. If you bid for the next Foundation Establishment Pill, should you wait a few years and leave it to Yuntian, or should you wait a few years and leave it to Yuntian?" You take it yourself, the choice is yours.”

Said.

Liu Meizhen had already stood up and walked out.

Obviously.

The other party had agreed to Liu Qingmin's request. Liu Qingmin recovered from his daze, remembered that there was another important matter, and said quickly:

"Mei Zhen, Patriarch Wu wants to meet the head of the family."

Said.

He handed Liu Meizhen the box that Patriarch Wu handed him from his sleeve:

"Clan Chief Wu's request is the same as mine. He also wants to follow the family leader to Wanningfang City."

Liu Meizhen nodded slightly.

However, he did not accept the box Liu Qingmin handed him.

When Liu Meizhen entered the inner courtyard from the outer courtyard, she found Fu Changsheng making green light wall talisman seals. After Liu Meizhen put down the talisman pen, she shook her head with a smile and said:

"As a father, you are really calm, and you are still in the mood to draw signs here at this time."

"I can't help it. I'm not trying to accumulate more bidding capital before the auction starts."

Fu Changsheng smiled and sat down on a chair nearby. After taking a sip of Wuling tea, he asked:

"This time, I have to organize the weddings of my eldest brother and my brother Fan at the same time, or on the same day. It's really hard on you, Meizhen. Is there anything I can do to help out there?"

"Everything has been arranged, but husband, I'm afraid you have to start receiving guests. In the past few days, the Lei family, Wu family and Liu family from Anyang County have all arrived one after another. By the way, my father met me just now , They have accumulated a fortune of spiritual stones in their hands over the years, and they plan to follow you to Wanningfang City after the banquet. Husband, do you think it is convenient? "

“What’s so inconvenient about this?”

Ever since the father-in-law took over, the Liu family has become a family.

It can be said that the Fu family responds to all requests. Over the years, they have not made any requests. After all, this is the ancestral home of Brother Fan and the others. He is naturally happy to have a hand in it.

Liu Meizhen suddenly smiled, paused, and continued:

"By the way, husband, the head of the Wu family wants to see you. Most likely he wants you to take him to Wanningfang City for help."

after all.

during this time.

All the tribulation cultivators must have caught wind of this and are ambushing the only way to pass through Wanningfang City. If the Qi Practitioners go there with heavy money at this time, they will most likely lose their lives and money.

Fu Changsheng said:

"I have disappeared, Mei Zhen, please help me pass a message to him. If you want to follow me, the condition is to leave the two first-order cranes, one female and one male."

With the crane.

It will be much easier for Qi Practitioners to travel in the future.

The two talked for a few more words. After Liu Meizhen came out of the room, Fu Changsheng started making talismans and seals again. On the wedding day, Fu Changsheng stopped drawing talismans.

To the west of the Yunshan County fiefdom.

Patriarch Cao and Patriarch He came hand in hand. They were not in a hurry. Patriarch He whispered:

"Brother Cao, have you ever heard that not long ago, I heard from Zhenshisi that someone had released news that the imperial court seemed to have made new changes in the granting of titles to aristocratic families. I heard that in places like our Huainan Mansion, There can be no more than five eighth-grade families. Now, apart from the Shangguan family, the Gongsun family, and the Shi family, our Huainan family only has one place left."

Chief Cao also heard about it.

He was originally in seclusion to heal his wounds, but in order to find out whether the news was true or not, he did not hesitate to attend the Fu family's wedding banquet with his sick body in his arms.

after all.

It is estimated that people from the eighth-grade Shangguan family will also arrive by then. By listening and whispering, we can always collect some useful information.

Patriarch Cao coughed lightly and sighed:

"If this policy is true, I'm afraid that the last spot will definitely not be our family's turn."

Patriarch He is quite tolerant.

After all, their He family is far away from being promoted to the eighth rank.

Patriarch He is more concerned.

Who will get the last spot:

"Brother Cao, who among the other aristocratic families do you think is most likely to get this spot?"

Patriarch Cao said without thinking:

"Before the Liang family fell, it was natural that the Liang family and the Cui family would compete for this spot. But the Liang family has already sunk, so it is obvious that the Cui family belongs to this spot. Brother He, what are you doing?"

Halfway through the sentence.

Patriarch Cao suddenly remembered the He family's Qi-gazing technique.

The last time the Liang family decided to seek peace with the Fu family, Patriarch He used the gazing technique and concluded that the Fu family was ready to be promoted to the eighth rank.

Patriarch Cao was excited:

"Brother He, could it be that you saw that the Fu family's luck surpassed that of the Cui family?"

If that's the case.

Then it is undoubtedly the best investment for them to make friends with an eighth-grade family in advance.

Patriarch He shook his head hurriedly:

"Brother Cao, what are you thinking about? With my level of cultivation, this Qi-gazing technique cannot be used casually. It has only been so long since the last time."

When Patriarch Cao heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief.

He also admitted that the Fu family was on the rise.

But you said that the Fu family would catch up with the Cui family and win the last spot in a short period of time, but he didn't believe it. After all, family development is a slow and long process.

However.

Patriarch He obviously had different ideas from him.

Since he asked this question.

Naturally, he felt that the Fu family at least had the strength to compete with the Cui family.

When the two arrived at the Fu family fiefdom.

But in the living room, people from the Liang family had already arrived, and it was Liang Zhishan who came in person. However, the Lin family only sent a hall master because Lin Tianfu was seriously injured and could not come out.

The iron triangle of Cui family, Qi family and Hong family has not yet arrived.

After Patriarch He sat down, he took a special look at Fu Changsheng. Compared with the last time they met, Fu Changsheng seemed to have a lot more luck in him.

As the head of the family.

It is the most intuitive feedback on the luck of the entire family.

After taking a seat.

Several people mentioned the Wanning Chamber of Commerce’s auction meeting.

There was a sound of singing outside the door.

But it was the Cui family, the Hong family, and the Qi family who came together.

in.

The heads of the Hong family and the Qi family were half a step behind the head of the Cui family. Patriarch He glanced back and forth at the faces of Patriarch Cui and Fu Changsheng. For a moment, the two were evenly matched.

Patriarch He was greatly shocked.

because.

The Fu family's luck was growing too fast. The last time he made a comparison, the Fu family's luck was clearly far behind the Cui family's, but now it seems to be keeping pace.

But.

He had just heard of it before.

The Cui family received several foundation-building pills as rewards in the Canglan Secret Realm. Logically speaking, the Cui family's luck is much higher than that of the Fu family:

"It's strange. Could it be that I saw it wrong?"

Patriarch He hesitated again and again.

Do you want to take the risk when performing a breath-taking technique?

At this time, there was a noise coming from outside the door.
