The black-bellied lord, the first wife is mighty!

Shen Jie was treated as a distinguished guest by the Helan family and placed in the best house.This house was built on the banks of the beautiful Qinglan River, hidden in the peach blossom forest.The pink petals are fluttering in the wind, and the falling petals are colorful, and the faint fragrance hits people.

Outside the mountains is the cold and windy late autumn, while the mountains are as warm as spring, comparable to Jiangnan in March in Yangchun.On both sides of the river, there are various fruit trees growing at a certain distance, and there are also one or two osmanthus trees, crabapple trees and redbud trees.In the clear and sweet river, there are various flower petals floating, and the fish are chasing the petals in the water. The scenery is infinitely beautiful!

The people of the Helan family entertained them warmly and sent beauties to accompany them. They made it very clear what they said, and they just hoped that he would choose a girl from among these beauties to be his wife or concubine.

Shen Jie was full of black lines, waved his hands again and again, and said with a wry smile: "Elders, this junior already has a wife, and this junior has a promise to her that she will never take a concubine in this life! Her status is very noble, not Shen The clan can be blasphemed and humiliated! This junior appreciates your love! These sisters are good girls, please choose another lover, this junior is sorry!"

In order to completely dispel the Helan family's plan to stuff him with a woman, Shen Jie talked very full, and even lied, saying that he was already married.Whoops, for the past two days, he's been given a terrible headache.The people who came to see him came one after another, all of them came to see his son-in-law.Many girls even came to their homes in person, hoping to win the favor of their sweethearts.

The elders of the Helan family were dumbfounded by his blunt words: Hey, hey, this idiot, who gave him beauties, he actually pushes them away?Tougher than his ancestor thousands of years ago, he was also less greedy for women.Back then, his ancestor married a woman from the Helan family with the help of everyone.The people in the clan wanted him to choose two more women as noble concubines and good concubines, but he was unwilling, saying that having a beloved person in his life is enough!

While the girls were disappointed and sad, they couldn't help but have a little more beautiful longing for the outside world.Who said that all the men outside have three wives and four concubines, and all of them are heartbroken?Isn't this Shen Jie a good man?I believe that besides him, there are many good men. After the family enters the WTO, with their beauty and talents, there is no need to worry about not being able to find a good man!Why, do you have to hurry up and be a concubine?

Most of the hundreds of girls who came to "apply" couldn't help but smile at each other.They all gave Shen Jie a little blessing, saluted and left, and respected him a little more from the bottom of their hearts.All men who know how to love and cherish their wives are worthy of the respect of every woman. For this reason, most of the girls quit willingly, not intending to embarrass Shen Jie, a distinguished guest who came from afar.

Of course, there are also a few women who think that they are "beautiful as a fairy".If he used his tricks, he would definitely be able to win Shen Jie's "heart", so he retreated calmly, but before leaving, he suddenly looked back and smiled, and gave him a wink, saying "deeply affectionate" winking.

Shen Jie's heart shuddered, secretly screaming that something was wrong.As the saying goes, don't be afraid of thieves stealing, but be afraid of thieves thinking about it!It is easy to block open guns, but difficult to defend against hidden arrows.There are plenty of ice volcano people, people who are good at using poison and preparing potions.If one is not careful and gets tricked, and it is in other people's territory, it will be called the ineffectiveness of Tiantian Responsibility!

"Elders, wives of this junior, are still waiting for this junior's medical treatment! People outside think that this ice volcano is a hell on earth, and there will never be a return. Gao Tang at home knows that this junior is here, so he might be in a hurry. What is it like! This junior won’t go back. Maybe the junior’s mother and wife will be overwhelmed and do something stupid, that would be terrible!”

Shen Jie paid homage again, and begged the patriarch of the Helan family to help him find Zhu Guo and let him leave as soon as possible.There were even tears in his eyes, and his voice was a little choked up.It looked very pitiful, and he was completely different from the imposing him before.

Seeing him like this, ice and volcano men, some people couldn't help but sneer: "Hey, what is this for? A big man kneels down to people every now and then, and he doesn't know why the girls are so obsessed with ghosts. They were all mesmerized by him!"

The one who said this was Jian Chuyi who was rejected by "Helan's No. 15 Beauty" Helan Huangying yesterday. He and Helan Huangying grew up together, and they have a good impression of each other.However, since Shen Jie, Helan Huangying has obviously become much more distant from him.Jian Chuyi was an orphan adopted by the Helan family [-] years ago.

For thousands of years, people in the clan have kept in mind the instructions of their ancestors and never intermarried among clan members.So, every year, the patriarch would send people to the outside world to bring back a hundred orphans aged five to ten, half male and half male.They will be raised by each family, and when these orphans grow up, they will marry men and women of the Helan family.Jian Chuyi is one of the orphans. The orphans who came here in the same year as him all have the same surname as Jian. Boys are called Junior One or Junior Two, and girls are called Lianyi, Lianer, etc.

Jian Chuyi has been in love with Helan Huangying for ten years!Originally, he thought that he would marry Huang Ying for the rest of his life.Unexpectedly, Cheng Yaojin came out halfway, and even snatched away the beauty's soul!This blow came too suddenly and a little too violently.It's really hard to accept this bloody man!At this moment, if you seize the opportunity, you will naturally make some sarcasm!

Immediately afterwards, there were a few young men who also sneered at Shen Jie, with a rather unkind tone.There was also a stunned young man who hit Shen Jie with his hands, but Shen Jie didn't fight back, but just dodged flexibly.In his eyes, he was also full of anger, and his face was full of displeasure.

This situation caused the patriarch and elders a very headache.The provocation against Shen Jie by Jian Chu and others completely dispelled the patriarch's desire to keep Shen Jie for a long time.

"Okay! Then wait another day. At noon tomorrow, I will personally take you to pick the vermilion fruit!" The patriarch readily agreed, and Shen Jie was eager to return, and begged hard: "Patriarch, junior Be bold, why not pick it now!"

At this time, the sun has just reached three poles. If you go today, you can leave this place early tomorrow morning and go back to An Lan Country.Wanren Ice Volcano does not belong to An Lan Country, but is located at the junction of An Lan Country and Nanman Country, independent of these two countries.

Hearing this, the patriarch couldn't help grinning: "My child, I understand your feelings, and I don't want to embarrass you. It's just that at noon tomorrow, only five vermilion fruits will mature. Only when vermilion fruits are ripe can they play their best The effect of the medicine, so I have to wrong you to wait for one more day!"

As he said that, he glanced coldly at the women who were obviously still coveting Shen Jie, and promised Shen Jie with a smile: "Don't worry, I will ask An Yi and An Er to protect you tonight. Anyone can take advantage of it!"

An Yi and An Er are the patriarch's personal bodyguards and his confidantes.Seeing that the patriarch attached so much importance to Shen Jie, those who had personal ulterior motives had no choice but to give up their thoughts of using medicine to bring him down in the middle of the night.As a result, Shen Jie was also able to escape.

Otherwise, with those people's ability to make and use poison, even ten Shen Jies would not be able to escape the gentle trap of those women.Many years later, Shen Jie learned by chance that one of the three people who successfully arrived at the settlement of the Helan family before him and stayed behind in the end, counted as one, had fallen into the trap of tenderness of the woman, and half-pushed and half-heartedly made Helan family's settlement. The son-in-law of the Lan family!Years have passed, Shen Jie can't help but break out in a cold sweat when he thinks that he almost lost his "innocence" back then.

The patriarch of the Helan family is an upright gentleman who disdains to do what is difficult for the strong.Now that Shen Jie made it clear, he didn't intend to force him to take in the girls from the clan.Although, he felt very regretful, but he still respected Shen Jie's wishes.

Early the next morning, the patriarch gathered a few women who were good at making dry food to prepare food and dried fruits for Shen Jie on his way home.Several daughter-in-laws of the patriarch personally rushed to make casual clothes for Shen Jie suitable for long-distance raids, as well as sturdy and comfortable cloth shoes with mille-soled soles.

At noon, the patriarch really took Shen Jie to the fairy mountain to pick vermilion fruits.Accompanying him were ten young men with strong martial arts skills, all of whom were capable and beloved generals of the patriarch.

Zhu Guo grows on steep mountain peaks. There are five plants in total. They bloom and bear fruit once every 100 years, and each plant bears five fruit.Zhu Guo is automatically guarded by auspicious beasts, and ordinary people don't want to get close to it.Following the direction pointed by the patriarch, Shen Jie saw five strange plants with the height of a person under a certain steep cliff in front of him. Needless to say, they were Zhu Guo!

Shen Jie's eyes lit up immediately, and he was very excited: "Grandpa patriarch, is it possible to pick it now?" As he said that, his feet couldn't help running towards the cliff automatically, and the guards at the side quickly grabbed him up.

"Don't worry, wait until noon, the red fruit picked at that time will have the best medicinal effect!" The patriarch smiled slightly, and said: "Not far from the red fruit, there is a cave, which is the hiding place of the auspicious beast white tiger The white tiger is an auspicious beast, and it is also an extremely ferocious beast. It has been guarding Zhu Guo for thousands of years. Whenever someone tries to get close to Zhu Guo, the white tiger will get angry and attack together!"

The patriarch told Shen Jie eloquently that Baihu is a family, two big and three young.The youngest white tiger is only half a year old, but his attack power is not small. Even the first-class martial arts masters in the Helan family can only draw against the little white tiger.Therefore, you can't force it, you have to wait for the best time.The quarter of noon is not only a good time to pick vermilion fruits, but also the time when the white tiger's attack power is weakest.The reason why we bring so many experts is just in case.

After hearing this, Shen Jie couldn't help but feel deeply: nature's creations are really amazing!When the vermilion fruit is immature, the auspicious white tiger guards it brazenly; when the best time to pick the vermilion fruit is reached, the white tiger's attack power is very weak, as long as someone with a little bit of martial arts can drive the white tiger away and pick the vermilion fruit smoothly .

Of course, even so, but without the support of the Helan family and the unreserved patriarch, how would Shen Jie know these secrets?So, it was an extremely wise choice not to offend the old man and boy who guarded Xianshan, let alone covet the beauties and the treasures of the sky!

At a quarter of noon, the sun is shining in the sky, and it is the time when the light is the strongest.Bai Hu's eyes began to narrow, and he lay down tiredly under the shade of a tree to take a nap, his consciousness was a little fuzzy.Feeling that those people who were getting closer did not have any malice towards their family, their vigilance relaxed.I didn't bother to pay attention, and continued to close my eyes and rest.

The patriarch personally stepped forward, picked five ripe vermilion fruits, put them in a clean small cloth bag, and carefully tied the mouth of the bag tightly.Vermillion fruit is hard to come by, and the next time vermilion fruit matures, it will have to wait another ten years!

Shen Jie respectfully took it with both hands, and carefully put it into his close-fitting pocket, cherishing it like a priceless treasure.Thousands of gold are hard to sell, and there is no market for the price.He bowed deeply to the patriarch gratefully, and bowed deeply to everyone present: "Shen Jie is extremely grateful for the great kindness of the Helan family! If there is an opportunity in the future, I will definitely do it well Return!"

******

In a flash, a month passed. .

Tao Ranju Academy has been completed.In addition to Su Mu, Myolie decided to invite a 15-year-old young scholar. This young scholar was Shu Lianche, the No.Because of his poor family, he looked for work everywhere, and wanted to contribute to the family and save up the travel expenses to Beijing for the exam.When Xing'er heard about it, she took the initiative to ask someone to invite him, as the enlightenment teacher of the younger brothers.The third uncle, who was originally in charge of enlightenment, only enlightened girls and spared more time to concentrate on studying.Fun guests.

Su Mu’s Shu Xiu costs ten taels of silver a month, while Shu Lianche’s costs three taels.The two wives are free to eat and live, Su Mu's family is not free to eat, but the vegetables and fruits in the vegetable field can be picked at will.Ten taels of silver is enough for a family. The environment in Tao Ranju is very good, and Su Mu likes it from the bottom of his heart.

Ten taels and three taels were proposed by the two masters on their own initiative. Originally, Xing'er's asking price was 15 taels and five taels.Reluctantly, these two scholars have extremely high charisma, so they flatly refused, and insisted on charging Shuxiu according to the "market price".The third uncle's bundle repair is also three liang, which is also the result of his persistence.

Xing'er is very satisfied, it is really a blessing to find such a few wives with both talents and virtues.She issued a strict order to her younger siblings: "Follow Master, study hard, and don't be lazy! If there is any violation, you will be fined to copy a thousand big characters! In addition, the one-month holiday will be cancelled!"

When the younger brothers and sisters heard this, panic flashed in their eyes, and they all responded hurriedly; "Yes! Follow the second sister's teachings!"

The students in the enlightenment class have two days off for every five days of class.During these two days, you can sleep well, cook, go up the mountain to hunt hares or go down the river to catch fish.How happy that day was, how depressing it would be if it was cancelled!

Well, even if it is to get a rest, you have to work harder!

The children muttered secretly in their hearts.Coincidentally, these words were heard by the masters, and they couldn't help but look at each other, a little dumbfounded.
