The Grand Void – Becoming a Dragon

sunny weather

The breeze is gentle, brushing the treetops and swaying gently.

Zhongwang Mountain, Qianlong Villa.

"Is lunch ready?"

"Young master will arrive before noon."

"Young master's room should be cleaned again, and all the things prepared by the old man should be placed there?"

"Have you hung up the big red lantern in front of the door?"

"The sundries over there, quickly put them away in the sundry room, don't put them here as an eyesore."

"From the open space in front of the villa to the son's house, the road must be cleaned, and the decorations must be carefully arranged so that the son can see it comfortably, understand?"

The village was full of excitement, the white-haired butler was yelling and ordering everyone to do things, but he was already sweating profusely and was quite tired.

Up and down the villa, no matter the servants or the maids, are all very busy.

——

"Young master is here!"

Suddenly there was a sound.

The steward rushed out of the door, and there were already people prepared by him in front of the door, lined up on both sides, waiting for the arrival of Young Master Hou.

I saw a group of people coming slowly on the road.

The first one was a young man sitting in a wheelchair, in his early twenties, with a delicate and handsome appearance, and his skin was as white as snow.

He smiled and groaned, dressed in white, but spotless.

And behind him, there is a strong man like a tower, with a blank face, pushing a wheelchair.

"My son..."

The old butler came in a hurry and said, "Why did you come early?"

Zhuang Ming said with a smile: "Fengcheng is prosperous and there is a lot of traffic, but I like to be quiet. I can't sit still in the mansion. I come to the villa to live first... The things I need in the mansion will be carried over in the afternoon. When the time comes Let Yin Ming accompany you."

The old steward knew in his heart that the martial arts of Yin and Ming in Qianyang could be described as profound and unfathomable. Since the young master asked Yin Ming to stay under escort, it meant that there were many valuable things among these things, and even the young master attached great importance to them.

Here in Fengcheng, there are five stewards, and this white old man in front of him is the oldest one, who is over sixty years old, but he was also the first to follow him. He worked in the manor house five years ago, and he is very experienced. , the most trusted by him.

Zhuang Ming looked at the old housekeeper and said: "I want to move in, but I make the old man sweat all over his body. For the rest of these things, I can tell those young and strong people to do it."

The old butler heard this, wiped off his sweat, and said: "I thought the young master would only come in the afternoon, and just ordered someone to make arrangements, and everyone hasn't changed their clothes yet, but they are all sweating profusely."

Zhuang Ming waved his hand and said: "Etiquette is such a thing, you can't be rude in front of outsiders, but everyone in the village is your own family, so don't pay too much attention to these, and save yourself some effort."

The old butler felt warm in his heart, and said yes in a low voice.

The little maid stood beside her, and when she heard this, she also smiled a little, her eyes narrowed into crescent moons.

Zhuang Ming waved his hand and said: "Okay, show me, what's so special about this Qianlong Villa, can it really hide a real dragon like the name I gave it?"

——

This mountain villa covers a vast area.

Although it is a mountain villa, the internal layout is also very particular.

From the open space in front of the door to the threshold steps, the double lions in front of the door, the copper ring on the door, straight through the screen wall, the corridor, the front hall, the lobby, the backyard, the garden, etc., are all extremely exquisite, as in the painting.

In addition, all kinds of things, various decorations, vases and ancient paintings are all extraordinary.

"Knowing that the son will live here for a long time, so when the building was built, the old slave personally supervised and dared not lose anything, especially these precious objects were all handled by himself."

The old butler said in a low voice: "I'm afraid of spending too much money, and I'm afraid that someone with a heart will install some hidden weapons on these things... But most of the objects are still moved from the mansion in Fengcheng. "

Zhuang Ming said with a smile: "Old Bai really has a heart, in fact, there is no need to be so troublesome."

The old housekeeper said: "Young Master, if you want to live here for a long time, naturally you can't be too careless."

Zhuang Ming patted the hem of his clothes, and said leisurely: "Although I live here for a long time, it is relatively speaking, after all, I want to walk around more outside."

He laughed and said, "The things in Fengcheng have stabilized. You should make preparations. If there is no change, I will go to the capital in person in two months, and take the medicine, cloth and salt from there. Step down."

The old butler heard the words, but he hesitated to speak, and finally did not speak.

"My lord." The little maid couldn't help but said softly, "The weather has become so fast recently, and the temperature and temperature are unpredictable. The outside things can be kept safe with the help you arrange. You don't have to worry too much. Your body is important. .”

"I'm not too sick to bear the weather."

Zhuang Ming smiled and shook his head, and said: "As for this business, how can it be successful just by being stable? Sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat... There are many opportunities that cannot be ignored. Now the few businesses in the capital seem to be grand and prosperous, but they are just It’s hot for a while, but it’s actually not enough stamina, and after a while, it will naturally fade away, unable to flow steadily, unable to be stable for a long time, and still unable to meet the requirements in my heart.”

"Don't talk about other things, let's just talk about this villa. It looks beautiful, but in our garden, the flowers, plants, rockery, flowing water and other things need to be taken care of."

"The stewards, servants, maidservants, nurses, cooks and other manpower in this villa, the daily food and drink, and the monthly wages are not a small sum of expenses."

"Other than that, the medicinal materials I need, the ancient books I seek, and the silver taels spent in them are unimaginable for ordinary people."

"The so-called sit and eat, no matter how rich you are, you can't help squandering."

"Water without roots will not last long, and our business is the source of water. We must not ignore it."

Having said that, he couldn't help sighing, shaking his head slightly, mocking himself a little.

And in the depths of the eyes, there are also some complex colors.

These words of his actually already had a foreword.

No wealth is not enough to support the Tao!

——

No wealth is not enough to support the Tao!

This sentence, for him, has a deep feeling!

At that time, he entered the world for the first time, he was disheartened, and he was young and spendthrift. Later, he fell off the cliff and returned, and the family property he left behind had already been divided up.

Without money, even having a full stomach is a problem, how can we talk about meditation and Taoism?

If there is no easy life, I want to practice Taoism, I am afraid that people will starve to death before the Taoism is achieved.

It takes countless resources to warm and raise the young dragon, so he started to do business, worked hard and intrigue, and finally got this wealthy family.

Only in this way can he have enough money to buy all kinds of expensive tonics, even rare natural treasures in the world, to nourish that ray of fresh air.

That ray of pure energy has been nourished by all kinds of nourishment, and it has grown to the present state in six years.

In addition, he collected all kinds of ancient books, and even bought these ancient books at a high price, many of which were incomplete.

Some of these classics were completely useless, while others recorded rare methods, which benefited him a lot.

After several years, he has the current family property.

But he also knew that it wasn't enough.

If he was just a mortal, maybe it would be enough, after all, he is now rich enough to spend ten lifetimes, more than enough.

But he is not a mortal after all, what he wants is not glory and wealth, but immortality.

But right now, the most important thing is to "raise dragons"!

I don't know how much effort it took to raise this dragon!

The current family fortune is still not enough for him!

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from outside.

"The Patriarch of the Qian family in Xuancheng asks to see you."

Hearing this address, the expressions of several people present all changed, revealing anger.

Only Qian Yang looked as usual, with a resolute face.

"It's not too late."

Zhuang Ming nodded with a smile and said, "Let him in."
