Wankelai, as a Xianjia Inn that can be opened in the prosperous area of Xiadu, a big city that is one of the best in the world, the benefits it can generate are naturally very amazing. Yang Yuyao could probably imagine that being able to own such an inn and mention it calmly, then the Yang family must have more than one such industry that can generate a lot of wealth. So how much money does the Yang family have? In short, there will be no shortage.
A family that is rich and powerful, and its members are relatively friendly to each other, and there are not so many intrigues, is probably an ideal start for a time traveler. But Yang Yuyao seemed to have failed to take advantage of such a good start. But he didn't feel regretful, he just felt that it was a pity that he was the eldest son, not the younger one. Of course, being the elder brother gives him a special sense of satisfaction, but as the eldest son, even if he doesn't intend to inherit the family, he can't act too badly.
But if he has an excellent eldest brother as the first heir of the family, he can be a playboy who can act well and not need to care much about family affairs, but only needs to care about things that interest him. But Yang Yuyao knew that he had no choice. If he wanted a younger brother, he could ask his parents to work hard to have another one. But if he wanted an older brother, he could only depend on his luck in life.
However, Yang Yuyao also knew very well that if others were working hard, he would be embarrassed to really fail. Yang Yuyao knew very well that his character was like this. He was not free and easy enough and could not do whatever he wanted like those free and uninhibited people. Therefore, things like putting things in ruins will probably only exist in Yang Yuyao's thoughts forever.
"Since it is your own inn, it will be easier. Xiaoyao, ask your companions if they are willing to come and stay at the house. If they are willing, arrange for someone to pick them up." Yin Wan'er suggested.
"Well, let me ask their opinions first." Yang Yuyao thought for a while and agreed.
"They also have Xunlian? Then don't worry, let's have lunch first." Seeing that Yang Yuyao didn't take out other magic weapons, Yang Weicheng said. Yang Yuyao, who was about to send the message, was stunned, and then remembered that he forgot He told his grandfather that Xunlian had compatibility features, so he asked him to guess the correct answer that Zhu Molan and the others also had Xunlian.
"Xiao Yao, can you and your master practice fasting together?" Fu Ruge asked. What she meant was whether Yang Yuyao could stop eating completely like Zhu Molan did after abstinence. This way of practice is actually not a Tao in the strict sense, but an auxiliary way of practice.
It's just that once you decide to take this path with this way of practice, it's like deciding the path you want to practice. If the precepts are broken, the body, death, and path will not be destroyed, but it will definitely lead to a regression in cultivation. And in the world of immortality, basically except for monks who cultivate the food path, monks who practice other paths may adopt the method of fasting. So it is still necessary to ask in advance.
"Neither Master nor I chose to fast completely." Yang Yuyao replied.
"Brother, how old is your apprentice?" Yang Yuwei asked. She was more concerned about the age of the child who Yang Yuyao said needed his guidance. Excluding the collateral relatives who do not live in the General's Mansion, she is currently the youngest member of the family, which makes her wish to have someone younger than herself so that she can live the addiction of her elders.
"The virtual age should be fifteen. I don't know the actual age. But he is not my disciple at the moment. I am just guiding him in his practice." Yang Yuyao replied. As soon as he said this, his blood relatives all turned to him. With a complicated expression, Yang Yuyao, who is only seventeen years old, actually calls a young man who is only two years younger than himself a child. They all thought that the young man was no more than ten years old.
"Why mentor him but not officially accept him as a disciple?" Tao Yeshuo was puzzled by Yang Yuyao's approach.
"He really wants to be my disciple, but according to my guess, his identity is quite special, so I want to wait until I can confirm that it is him before letting him choose whether to continue with me." Yang Yuyao's vague answer made Tao Ye Shuo was even more curious about the young man's background. Obviously his identity was not simple, but the man himself didn't know it. And this is not a bad background, otherwise Yang Yuyao would not let that person choose whether to study with him.
The Yang family and Tao Yexuan were all curious about Yang Yuyao's disciple, who was not even anonymous at the moment. Yang Yuyao was thinking about the age of his sister Yang Yuwei. Yang Yuwei is thirteen this year, and Yu Xuan is fourteen. The age gap between them is really too close. Yang Yuyao recalled that his brother seemed to be exactly one year old when the monsters were raging in Xiadu. Could it be that his mother in this world was already pregnant with Yuwei by then?
Lunch was ready, and a group of people took Yang Yuyao and He Qianqing to eat. Normally, they would have eaten in their respective courtyards in the General's Mansion, but today, because Yang Yuyao was back, as well as He Qianqing as a guest and the royal family members who came with them, the ordinary lunch was upgraded to a family banquet.
"The cook in the general's residence is quite good, but it's a pity that he doesn't want to go to the palace even if I want him to." Tao Zhengxi complained to Yang Yuyao with some emotion.
"Haha, that kid has been following me to fight everywhere since he was ten years old. There are many rules in the palace, and he can't stand it!" Yang Weicheng said with a smile.
Yang Weicheng's words confirmed Yang Yuyao's guess. From the beginning, he felt that there were a lot of male servants in the general's mansion, and many of them were very young. They were presumably sergeants and their families who had retired from the battlefield with the Yang family. In the Xia Kingdom, as well as other countries in this world, soldiers "service" for a long time. If they are not monks, they usually retire when they are old or seriously disabled. However, the country also has corresponding policies at this time. Policies subsidize these veterans and allocate land for farming. But for these veterans, they need more than just financial support. War will change a person a lot. Very few people who have actually been on the battlefield will not suffer from post-war traumatic stress disorder. Psychology in this world has not developed much, but people know that these soldiers will have such a condition.
These traumas make it difficult for some of them to return to their families and make it difficult for them to be understood by others. However, if they can stay with their former comrades, perhaps similar to hugging each other for warmth, their situation will not be so bad. Perhaps some of the servants in the general's mansion are some of these veterans. However, their situation should not be too bad, and they can still work and live normally. It's just that being with the past generals will make them feel more stable, so they chose to work here.
"Those clever guys are doing well here, and they don't need to rely on subsidies to survive." Tao Zhengxi joked.
"This won't work. The subsidy must still be given, but we can't chill this veteran's heart." Yang Weicheng glared and said while blowing his beard. Seeing their conversation like this, Yang Yuyao understood that the relationship between the two was actually quite good. They were both monarchs, ministers, and friends, so they could tease each other like this. Yang Yuyao slowed down his progress and let himself fall behind the crowd. From being surrounded by others, he fell to the back of the team, to a position alongside He Qianqing.
"Huh? Xiaoyao, what, do you feel uncomfortable?" He Qianqing asked, and Yang Yuyao shook his head.
"I'm worried that you feel left out, Master." Yang Yuyao said in a low voice. He who had just returned to the General's Mansion seemed to be receiving the attention of everyone, and he also seemed to be receiving a lot of attention from his relatives in this world. He was so focused that he neglected He Qianqing who accompanied him. Although He Qianqing was not really ignored, he was also treated as a guest. But the guests didn't get the attention they deserved.
Yang Yuyao didn't know if He Qianqing would think of his former family when he saw this bustling family, and if he would think of those blood relatives who had many ideological differences with He Qianqing but did not really have unforgivable conflicts. . But Yang Yuyao couldn't ask, because he was afraid that He Qianqing hadn't thought much about it, but as a result, he had said so much, and He Qianqing would have been saddened by the past.
He Qianqing looked at Yang Yuyao's profile with a smile. The blush at the end of the young man's eyes always looked particularly attractive against his fair complexion. When Yang Yuyao looked over, his eyes were obviously evasive, obviously because he was worried that he was overthinking and making He Qianqing too fragile and embarrassed.
He Qianqing's smile became even heavier. If the current environment didn't allow it, He Qianqing would have really wanted to kiss this boy. Surrounded by such love for him, Yang Yuyao was not so happy that he was carried away. He was still thinking about He Qian who was squeezed into the corner. Of course, He Qianqing did feel left out, but he wouldn't feel sad about it. He was even happy for Yang Yuyao's family who loved this boy so passionately. This boy deserved to be loved so much.
But he was even more happy that this young man could still think of him and come to him in this situation. This made He Qianqing feel that even if Yang Yuyao already had family members who loved him, he would still choose him regardless of the cost. But He Qianqing also knew that the reason why Yang Yuyao was like this was actually a little carefulness unique to this child.
Although Yang Yuyao often gives people the impression that he doesn't have as strong emotions as others, as if his emotions are cooler than others. But this young man who always said that he should analyze things rationally could always notice some small details and be attentive, which made those who received his kindness feel very warm.
But their shady love affair made He Qianqing need to pay attention to the occasion even to express his love in his heart, and the implicitness of this world also restricted the expression of emotions. He Qianqing could not really kiss here as carelessly as he thought. He was a young boy, but he still stretched out his arms, put Yang Yuyao's thin shoulders and made him lean against him, thus conveying his joyful emotions.
Yang Yuwei, who suddenly realized that her elder brother who had been beside her was missing, looked around. Her small figure allowed her to easily slip out from the crowd, and she saw Yang Yuyao and Yang Yuyao who were some distance behind the crowd. He Qianqing. She happened to see He Qianqing hugging Yang Yuyao. Hugging shoulders between same-sex people can be said to be the most intimate gesture that will not be criticized. Yang Yuwei often hugged these former veterans in their house. Seeing them holding hands like this, even their grandfather would do this together. But she didn't know why. Seeing He Qianqing hugging Yang Yuyao, she vaguely tasted something different.
"Brother is so beautiful! Why isn't he a girl if he is so beautiful?" Yang Yuwei continued to think about it without grasping the feeling, but her mind was soon completely occupied by her eldest brother's beauty.
After a very sumptuous lunch, Yang Yuyao began to contact Li Fengzhi and the three of them. Yang Yuyao did not form a separate group for the four of them, but You Shuangjiang must be with Zhu Molan, and Li Fengzhi is now being taken care of by Zhu Molan, so Yang Yuyao does not need to contact everyone. He only needs to contact Li Fengzhi directly and let him He informed Zhu Molan and You Shuangjiang, and then told him after the three of them discussed the results. After waiting for a while, Li Fengzhi sent a message telling Yang Yuyao that they were all honored to be invited to visit Yang Yuyao's home.
So Yang Yuyao planned to pick them up in person, but his mother Tao Yulian stopped him and asked Yang Yuyao. After Li Feng learned the names and appearances of the three of them, she sent a servant to drive a carriage to pick them up. As for Yang Yuyao, they still have things they need him to do.
"Choose...choose a dedicated servant? I think this is unnecessary, I..." Yang Yuyao, who figured out what was going on, quickly refused.
"Xiao Yao, you are the eldest young master of the Yang family. Before you left home, you were young, so you were taken care of by your nanny and my maids. Now that you are of marriageable age, of course you must have your own maids and servants to take care of you. In daily life, you can't do everything by yourself." Tao Yulian persuaded Yang Yuyao to sit next to her, and followed Tao Yulian's maid Hongwan to pour Yang Yuyao a cup of tea.
There were only three of them in this room, but Yang Yuyao was sure that this was a unanimous decision of the family's elders, while He Qianqing was taken by Yin Wan'er to choose a guest room. The layout of the residences of wealthy families in many countries is similar. The houses are divided into many small courtyards, and one small family lives in one courtyard. If the son is married, he lives in another courtyard. For example, Yang Yuyao's grandparents now live in one courtyard, and his parents live in another courtyard. Their three brothers and sisters, including Yang Yuyao who just returned, still live with their parents.
In addition, these houses will be equipped with guest rooms, and the conditions of these guest rooms are very good. It is usually provided for guests to live in. The Yang family does not have a guest minister, but if the cultivation family hires additional monks to live in the family to guide the cultivation of the younger generations, He Qianqing is equivalent to the guest minister of the Yang family.
Hongwan was one of Tao Yulian's maids who married Yang Ningxiu. Now she is Tao Yulian's personal maid. She has an elegant appearance. In the late foundation period, Yang Yuyao vaguely remembered when he was picked up by his uncle Tao Yeshuo when he was young. In his memory, Hong Wan was also standing next to Tao Yulian. Her appearance then was no different from now.
This is obviously related to the fact that she has reached the Foundation Establishment Stage. Monks in the Foundation Establishment Stage can live for more than two hundred years. Although they are not able to stop aging like the Golden Core Stage, their longevity will slow down the aging rate. Mortals are considered old at the age of fifty, but for monks in the foundation building stage, the age of forty or fifty is still a stage of youth.
As a princess, Tao Yulian was married to more than one maid, Hong Wan. However, only Hong Wan had reached the foundation-building stage, while the others were in the Qi-training stage. The lifespan of a monk in the Qi training period does not increase much compared to that of a mortal. Although Tao Yulian looks like she is only in her early twenties, she is actually still nearly fifty years old. She has been married into the General's Mansion for more than thirty years. Years, thirty years later, even a monk in the Qi training period and a girl who was only a teenager will now gradually show her age. If she were in the palace, a maid of this age could leave the palace and get married.
Tao Yulian's maids in the Qi training period also got married, but they did not leave the general's mansion, but continued to work in the general's mansion with their families. Now their main job is to manage other maids in the mansion. Of course, a big family like the Yang family has a very mature plan for training servants, which can enable batches of new servants to quickly get started and do what they are supposed to do well.
Being able to afford servants and being served by them is a very enjoyable thing for most people in this world, but Yang Yuyao knew that he could not enjoy such a blessing, so he still firmly chose to refuse.
"Actually, I think there's nothing wrong with coming by myself," Yang Yuyao said, but he immediately realized that if he insisted on refusing, his mother in this world would not let him go easily. "And I don't really like other people being in close proximity to me for long periods of time."
"But young master, if you don't want people to serve you, you can't let other creatures serve you, right?" Hong Wan couldn't help but say.
Hong Wan came to the General's Mansion as a dowry and has been serving Tao Yulian closely. Naturally, she took care of Yang Yuyao a lot when he was a child, and Yang Yuyao was also very close to her when he was a child. However, more than ten years have passed in the blink of an eye, and the intoxicatingly cute little baby has now grown into such a beautiful young man that even his gorgeous mother's appearance is dwarfed by his comparison.
It's just that their eldest young master's current temperament excludes others from getting close to him... From Hong Wan's point of view, their eldest young master should be well taken care of, especially since the young master has been away from home for so many years and still has a male master, so his life is definitely not the same. He has been taken care of so well in the house. Now that the young master is back, he should be well served and enjoy many blessings, and make up for what was missing in the past. But now the eldest young master, he doesn’t accept it, what should I do? Hong Wan was anxious in her heart, so she spoke out in a hurry.
"Well, it's okay if it's not a human form," Yang Yuyao nodded, "Mother, I signed a master-servant contract with a fox demon. She took care of me for a long time after I left Qingfeng Sect. Please. Otherwise, if I call her here, you can retrain her?"
