secret passages here, setting traps and mazes. Over time, this place became a death trap where you could enter but couldn't leave.'""Why would Na Mu Wan Chen make the people go inside" I asked, puzzle...My brother has a bit of a "stirring up trouble" mentality, and he's also worried that I might be blind to people's true intentions. If this Xia family young master is someone with ulterior motives, how else would I have an impression of him

Actually, this guy and I haven't directly interacted. We just sat across from each other at a meeting. The moment I saw him, I remembered his name as "Xia Wen Sheng." The name sounds funny, so it stuck with me.

At that time, I also thought, it turns out that I'm not the only young person, some families also have younger generations taking over.

Therefore, when introducing candidates to Shen Qingrui, the first person I thought of was this Xia Gongzi.

There was no reason to invite anyone over out of the blue, so the head steward racked his brains and came up with a plan. He said that the birthday of Emperor Xuanqing of Fengdu in the lunar calendar's ninth month was approaching. In previous years, the ceremony had been held at Lao Dao Lingxuzi's place. However, this year, because Lao Dao Lingxuzi was unwell and Qiy玉 Taoist Temple had suffered some damage from a previous incident and had not yet been repaired, he suggested that we hold it temporarily at Shen's house instead.

The proposal was quickly met with a positive response. This year, I held a new title, the Shen family's reputation grew larger, and in the Huangdao Village incident, the Shen family contributed the most. Now, holding a sacrificial feast is considered what everyone expects — many people are waiting to network and also eager to see the gates of the Shen family's mountain.

The Shen family's place is another scenic spot, a beautiful mountain and water wonderland. After I posted the announcement, I received many replies, and some people even came early to stay at a Taoist temple on the mountain.

Our accommodations here aren't as luxurious as those at 9999, but across the mountain there is a complex of old-fashioned buildings. It's a three-star Chinese convalescent hotel, capable of accommodating several hundred people.

The Shen family was unique in the circle because it was run by a woman. I always thought of Old Madam Shen as a legendary figure, like an undefeated master. Everyone else was wary of her, giving her three points of respect. But she wasn't actually scary; she just seemed a bit arrogant and intimidating.

Because Old Madam Shen had been there, those who were curious about the Shen family had no chance to pry. This time, with the Shen family suddenly taking over the responsibility of hosting the Double Ninth Festival celebration and banquet, many people flocked to see what was going on.

Fortunately, the Shen family had many disciples who blocked their mountain gate to prevent random entry, guiding the visitors up the mountain or to the inn.

My brother was bending over to feed Xiaomimi some snacks. The child is particularly attached to him now. As he wiped the crumbs off Xiaomimi's mouth, he looked up at Shen Qingru, who was dressed in a Taoist robe, and said, "Those with lofty aspirations often have fragile fates. You should be more practical and choose one for yourself quickly. Otherwise, don't blame the head of the family for matching you with Wang Ermazi from the village!"

Where is Wang Ermazi at the entrance of this village

Shen Qingrui stamped her feet and said angrily, "If you mention this again, I'll quit as the host!"

“If you don't want to preside, are you afraid of me The Shen family has so many people, they won't miss one less. Don't be shameless, how many people came here because of Xiao Qiao's reputation If you want to be expelled from the Shen family, go ahead! ~~ I think many of the Shen family's relatives don't like you very much. If you are expelled from the Shen family, who will give you a helicopter Who will drive you in a sports car Who will give you a monthly salary of 60,000 Without the Shen family, you are nothing, who are you scaring”

My brother's scolding made Shen Qingrui's face turn red with anger, but she didn't dare to retort.

That's my brother, the head of the Mu family, the Emperor's brother-in-law, Lin Yanhuan's brother-in-law, a certain patriotic businessman, and the son-in-law who rode the dragon for the Lin family...

Sweat, my brother is so awesome now.

Even if I wasn't at the Shen residence, he could completely control things with his reputation.

Actually, I still value Shen Qingrui quite a bit. Her flamboyant personality has indirectly promoted the reputation of the Shen family to some extent. She always demands millions for everything she does… Although she didn't do it alone, her actions have definitely raised the price of the Shen family's goods.

She's one of the top earners in the Shen family, so... well, considering her contributions to the household, I haven't even considered kicking her out.

She didn't have much attachment to money; the money she earned belonged to the Shen family. However, her monthly salary of 60,000 yuan was the highest among young disciples, and she could use cars and helicopters freely. She wasn't short of money.

She's considered a "rich and beautiful" woman in her circle, but because of her bad personality, no one has ever pursued her.

As the head of the household, I naturally have to put on airs. Not just anyone can see me. Only those from well-known families or respected senior Taoist masters would be invited into the Shen residence to chat and drink tea with me.

Finally, the young master of the Xia family arrived.

I winked at Xiaokun, who was standing next to me. Xiaokun hurriedly went to serve tea and snacks, acting as if this were going to be a long conversation.

Xia Wen Sheng asked in some surprise, "Mu... Advisor, this reception is a bit overwhelming for me."

His voice was mellow and his tone wasn't agitated. The little person in my mind silently took out a scorecard and added a point.

"Last time at the meeting, I didn't have a chance to chat with you much. With so many senior colleagues around, it seemed like only the two of us were the juniors. So this time I especially invited you for tea and a chat." I said some pleasantries while observing his words and actions.

My older brother also sat there, he was a presence even in silence. Miss Xia took the initiative to chat with him.

My brother bluntly asked, "Big brother, I'll be bold to ask: Your name is very special. It has both elegance and groundedness. I wonder who chose it for you."

Summer's son couldn't help but laugh and cry: "It's my parents' surnames put together, then 'sheng', in order to avoid being so common, my father added the character 'bamboo' at the beginning, haha."

My brother laughed heartily, and that immediately lightened the mood.

Originally, the young master's father had a weak constitution due to being afflicted by evil spirits. He passed on the responsibilities early to his son. Their family was somewhat well-known in Chu land in Central Plains. They usually paid attention to karmic hindrances and their business and reputation were both good.

"This configuration, I think it's a bargain for Shen Qingrui..." My brother murmured in my ear.

What kind of psychology Wouldn't it be better to have a setup Otherwise, with Shen Qingrui's temper who has eyes that are always looking up in the sky, who would she even look at

The best way to break her unrealistic fantasies is to let her meet a good man and live a happy life.

"Sigh... you're right, but I still feel like this Young Master Xia won't be able to subdue her..." My brother couldn't help but sigh.

Xia Wen Sheng looked at us blankly: "Who are you taming"

My brother bluntly said, "To be honest, there's a renowned Kun Dao within the Shen family circle. However, no matter how skilled she is, she's still a woman. While Taoism emphasizes purity and detachment, it doesn't condone remaining childless, right So Xiao Qiao is quite worried about her lifelong affairs... But this Kun Dao has a terrible temper, no one wants to pursue her, and she hasn't even had a relationship yet. We can only help find suitable candidates for her… Do you know who I'm talking about"

Xia Wen Sheng's eyes widened: "…Shen, Shen Qing Rui Dao Friend"

My brother slapped his palm: “It’s her—”.

"How is it going" Shen Qingrui stood at the door in a Taoist robe, her face as dark as night.at least in the last year or two, most of the work here has been done by students like Chen Ruo."Little Qiao, sister, you brought the corpse to this room. It's a temperature- and humidity-controlled c...
