A seal of immortality

136 Marriage
The elders of the Li family did not object to marrying the Wang family, but they also had their own little ones, some looked down on the Wang family, some wanted their grandson to marry the Wang family's daughter-in-law, and of course, some sincerely considered for the family.

The opinions of the people were different, and they recommended twenty or thirty Li family children, and the reasons for the recommendation were also varied.

The purple-robed old man saw all this in his eyes, frowned, then turned his gaze to a young Confucian scholar sitting at the end on the right, and said kindly, "27th brother, do you have any good candidates to recommend?"

After hearing this, everyone turned their attention to the young Confucian scholar.

"Brother, I think so! This matter is the same as doing business. If you want to do it, make it big. What's the point of making small troubles? If you want to marry, then choose the best son of our Li family. This son must be the next head of our Li family, so that the other party can feel the sincerity of our family," said the young Confucian scholar after a moment of pondering.

"Brother 27, this is a bit too much! We are discussing the candidate for marriage today, not the next head of the family," a white-faced and beardless old man said with some dissatisfaction.

"That's right, the current Patriarch is young and strong, so there's no need to choose the next Patriarch so quickly!" Someone echoed.

Although the others didn't say anything, they all had dissatisfaction on their faces.

"Brother 27, tell me your reason," the purple-robed old man was a little moved when he heard the words, but he also saw the reaction of everyone, thought for a while, and asked.

"First, the son of this family has entered the Taiqing Palace. Although we don't know what his aptitude is, the Zhao family in Qingmuya sent people to congratulate him. It is estimated that the aptitude is not far behind; second, although our Ningzhou is poor, Well, there are still a few Xiuxian families with Dandan monks sitting in the town, such as the Han family we have formed a good relationship with, but why is the Zhao family the largest family in Ningzhou? It is not because the Zhao family is backed by the Taiqing Palace, even if this family cannot succeed In the next moment, the Zhao family will not be too far behind. We must make good friends with this family; thirdly, since it was reported that this family has children who have worshiped the Taiqing Palace, there are no fewer than ten families who have married and formed alliances with their family. family, even our rival Song's family has sent people to visit, we are already one step behind others, do we still have to be left behind?"

When the young Confucian scholar said this, he paused for a moment, his eyes swept over everyone's faces, and then said: "Fourth, this is also the most important one. Since this family has children who have worshiped in the Taiqing Palace, they will definitely use this to expand their power. This point can be seen from their recent series of actions. Since they want to expand their power, there must be someone who will shrink their power. Who will this shrinking family be? The Song family? The Chen family? Or us The Li family?"

"Even if they want to expand their power, it doesn't mean others have to back down! If that's the case, let the disciples of Taiqing Palace manage a county alone," an old man retorted with a soft snort.

"Hehe, Brother Ten is right. Others may not back down, or even fight, but with the Taiqing Palace sign, this Wang family has a gold medal for avoiding death. If you dare to take the lives of the Wang family, you are not afraid of the Wang family." Will the disciple who worshiped in the Taiqing Palace take revenge in the future?"

After hearing these words, the elders of the Li family who were present fell into deep thought.

"But even so, there's no need for the next patriarch to marry the Wang family! We can choose an outstanding son who holds real power to marry, the big deal is to give some more dowry at that time," the skinny old man on the left pondered for a moment, and said Said.

"That's right! Brother 27, we can make the wedding more grand and sincere! You know, there are women of the right age in the families we have formed. It would be better for the next head of the family to marry them!" an old man suggested.

"If we just choose a direct descendant to marry the Wang family, and the next head of one of our opponents, the Song and Chen families, marry the Wang family, who do you think the Wang family will be closer to?" the young Confucian scholar said with a half-smile .

"Brother 27 is right, so I will do as I said. Fifth brother, seventh sister, and twelfth brother, you three go to another secret room to discuss the dowry. The rest of us will discuss the candidate for the next Patriarch. I hope The courtship team can arrive at Wang's house tomorrow morning," the purple-robed old man closed his eyes and thought for a while, then opened his eyes and ordered.

"Yes, brother," an old woman nodded, and walked out with two old men.

The next morning, led by a Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Li family, with more than a dozen members of the Li family, they left the family residence and ran towards Fumo Mountain.

Facing the Li family's marriage-seeking team, the Wang family did not dare to neglect. Accompanied by Wang Huayuan and a group of high-ranking members of the Wang family, they chatted with the Li family monks in the Wang family's meeting hall for several hours. It was not until dusk that the Li family's team left Fumo Mountain. Return to Li's house.

The next morning, an astonishing news quickly spread throughout the world of cultivating immortals in Yueyang County. The next patriarch of the Li family is about to marry the prostitute daughter of the Wang family. The date is set on the ninth day of this month. All received invitations.

Wang Changxue stood in front of the window in a secluded courtyard in Wang's Manor, staring at a plum blossom tree in the courtyard in a daze.

Ever since Wang Changsheng disappeared, Wang Changxue had been grounded and could only stay in the boudoir and was not allowed to go out, but this did not prevent her from learning the news from outside.

It was really hard for Wang Changxue to believe that the seventh younger brother Wang Changsheng really entered the Taiqing Palace, and he didn't know how he did it.

Suddenly, a rush of shouts came from outside the house: "Sister, it's terrible, it's terrible, something serious happened."

As soon as the words were finished, the door was pushed open, and a fifteen or sixteen-year-old woman in red broke in.

Seeing the woman in red, Wang Changxue smiled wryly, and said, "Bamei, how many times have I told you, don't be frizzy, girls should be quieter."

The woman in red is Wang Changyue. After Wang Changsheng disappeared, most of the talismans sold by the Wang family were drawn by Wang Changyue. Of course, the quantity and quality cannot be compared with Wang Changsheng, but even so, Wang Changyue's status in the family has also risen. Therefore, She knew some news that ordinary people could not know. She was the one who told Wang Changxue that Wang Changsheng had entered the Taiqing Palace.

"I can't take care of it this time, big sister, something serious happened," Wang Changyue said out of breath.

"What's the big deal? You're in a hurry, maybe someone told you about your marriage?" Wang Changxue smiled slightly, sat down at the table, and poured Wang Changyue a cup of tea.

"It's not about marrying me, it's about you. This matter has already spread. Father and Uncle are going to marry you to the next head of a Li family," Wang Changyue said with a solemn expression after taking the teacup.

"Oh," Wang Changxue didn't change at all after hearing this.

"Sister, listen clearly. It's you. It's you who want to marry. I'm afraid you haven't seen that person. You don't even know what he looks like. Why don't you run away from home! Sister, I'll help you," Wang Changyue suggested.

"You have the heart, and my sister has it. I don't want to go anywhere now, just wait to get married," Wang Changxue sighed, shook his head, and refused.

Hearing this, Wang Changyue had a weird look on her face, looked Wang Changxue carefully, and said, "Sister, I heard you right! I know you like that idiot of the Huang family, how could you be willing to marry someone you've never met?" What about people! How about this! Let’s go beg Dad, Dad loves us the most, as long as we..."

"That's enough, Changyue, have you finished your nonsense? Do you think we can make decisions about our marriage? Do you think you can refuse if you don't like it? Do you think you can do whatever you want?" Wang Changxue suddenly yelled, saying In the end, Wang Changxue's eye circles turned red.

"Those of us who come from the cultivating family don't have to run around for our livelihood, we just need to cultivate with peace of mind, but there are many things that we can't make decisions about. If the seventh brother didn't enter the Taiqing Palace, he wouldn't be the one to make decisions about his marriage. In order to marry my second aunt, I resolutely withdrew the marriage with our family friend Li's family. What happened? The two families almost broke up. If I reject this marriage and really run away from home, what will happen to the family? What will happen to my father? Have you thought about it?"

Hearing Wang Changxue's remarks, Wang Changyue felt very wronged. She came to report the report because of Wang Changxue's injustice. Who knew that after being reprimanded by Wang Changxue, she lowered her head and stopped talking.

Seeing this, Wang Changxue felt that her tone was a bit harsher, her face softened, and she forced a smile on her face, and said, "Okay, sister knows that you are worried about her, and speaking of it, you should feel sorry for her." You should be happy, after all, you are marrying a patriarch as your wife, why? Can't you see that sister finds a good home?" At the end, Wang Changxue's tone was tinged with reproach.

"No, I don't. I hope my sister can marry someone I like," Wang Changyue shook her head and explained hastily.

"If you think so, I'm really happy. Well, I'm a little tired. Let's go! Let me stay alone for a while," Wang Changxue nodded, and issued an order to evict the guest.

Seeing this, Wang Changyue wanted to say something, but seeing Wang Changxue's sad expression, she left reluctantly.

Walking out of the room, Wang Changyue looked back and saw Wang Changxue had been staring at the plum blossom tree in the yard, her eyes rolled, and she seemed to have an idea, and left quickly.

Wang Changxue was standing in front of the window, looking at the plum blossom tree in the yard, remembering something, her eyes turned red, and two tears flowed from the corners of her eyes.

She took a deep breath, wiped away her tears, cut off a few strands of her hair with scissors, wrapped it in red paper, and buried it under the plum tree, which was given to her by Huang Qiping.

That year, that day, a woman in white stood under a plum tree for a long time...
