Haidai County is one of the thirty-six counties. It is densely populated and very lively.

Sitting in the car, Chen Youniao couldn't help but frequently lift the curtains to look outside. Feeling the popularity and voices rushing towards him, he felt as if he was returning to the city from the wilderness.

fine.

In Haidai County, the Chen family is a wealthy family with many industries. They live in a concentrated area and occupy three streets, forming a block.

Such a large clan is divided into direct and collateral clans, with many branches and leaves, and many clan members live and work hard in other places.

The room that Chen Youniao was in originally belonged to the direct lineage. However, it was passed down to Chen Youniao's father's generation. He was obsessed with immortality and always tinkered with things like practicing Qi and elixirs. He had no intention of running the family and spent a huge price on it. After sending Chen Youniao to Laoshan, it's hard to say what the situation is like at home now.

Returning to the door of the house, Chen Youniao and Uncle Wang got out of the car and stared at the strange house, stunned.

"Who are you? What are you doing here?"

A healthy servant guarding the door came and shouted.

Uncle Wang looked at him and asked, "Where are Ah Shui, Awang and the others?"

Jian Pu was startled and looked up and down.

At this time, an old servant with gray hair came out, saw Uncle Wang, looked at him seriously, and then shouted: "Ah Sheng? Are you Ah Sheng?"

Uncle Wang also recognized him: "Awang, are you at home? The young master is back."

Awang looked at Chen Youniao, with a strange look on his face, and called out: "Master", then he pulled Uncle Wang and whispered: "Ah Sheng, I have something to tell you."

The two walked aside and talked in a low voice.

"Ah Sheng, a lot of things have happened in the past ten years..."

"I have no intention of running a business, and because of my huge consumption, many properties and fields have been sold to other houses of the clan one after another over the years..."

"What's even more outrageous is that in March this year, I actually ran away with a wandering monk, saying that Taoism didn't want him. He was destined to be a monk and wanted to become a monk..."

"As soon as he ran away, there was no trace, and he still owed a lot of debt. The patriarch made the decision to allocate all the properties of the house to the third room..."

"In other words, this ancestral home has changed owners. Fortunately, the clan has not abandoned it, and we old servants can still stay..."

…

After hearing this, Uncle Wang was stunned. His master had really done enough.

I originally thought that my family's financial situation would be worse than before, but I didn't expect that such a large family fortune has now been completely ruined, and even the ancestral home cannot be saved.

Seeking immortals and cultivating Taoism will do great harm to people!

After saying this, Awang was also sighing and asked: "Ah Sheng, what are your plans? You are the son of the clan, the clan leader, and the eldest master will not dislike you. Do you want me to report it?"

Uncle Wang shook his head and said: "I have been serving the young master for so many years, and I will continue to follow him."

Ngawang asked: "What about the young master practicing Taoism?"

Uncle Wang smiled bitterly: "If it happens, I won't come back."

Awang slapped his thigh: "Hey, what kind of immortality are you cultivating? It's all a fool's errand. Now it's better, everything is gone."

After a pause, he said: "In this case, Ah Sheng, if you continue to follow Master Youniao, your livelihood will be in question."

Uncle Wang naturally understood.

Without the house and property, there is no source of income.

Of course, as a descendant of the Chen family and a direct descendant of the family tree, Chen Youniao will receive a regular amount of money every month.

But his father was a prodigal, and Chen Youniao failed in cultivating Taoism. He accomplished nothing. This money was only the lowest.

Every month, five taels of silver.

With this small amount of money as living expenses, I could barely afford food and clothing, and could not afford to eat meat.

Originally, Chen Youniao's father also had a share of the money. In comparison, the amount of money was not small, but he had not paid off a lot of debts, so the money was confiscated and deducted to repay the debt.

"No wonder there have been no letters for a long time and no money..."

Uncle Wang murmured in his heart: "I hope the young master can withstand the blow of reality."

He was loyal and would not criticize the master casually, so he went over with a sad look on his face and started talking to Chen Youniao.

After listening, Chen Youniao seemed to have a calm face, but in fact he was wailing in his heart: He thought that there was no hope of cultivating immortals, and he could go home and be a rich boy, but he didn't expect that a rich boy would not be able to do it, and would have to work hard to make a living.

How do you spend your day?

"Master, are you okay?"

Uncle Wang asked with concern.

Chen Youniao shrugged: "There is no big deal other than death. It's okay."

Uncle Wang was very happy, thinking that although the young master could not cultivate Taoism, he had been a Taoist boy in the Taoist temple for so many years, and his character could always be polished, and he was much more open-minded than ordinary people.

Gotta get it!

The sound of horse hooves sounded, and several horses galloped over.

There are two riders at the head, one male and one female. The male's face is like a crown jewel, and the female's is delicate and beautiful.

The Ngawang quickly came up to lead the horse and shouted respectfully: "Fifth Young Master, Seventh Young Miss, you are back from hunting."

When Uncle Wang heard this, he immediately understood.

The Chen family is very large. There are six families in the current generation's direct lineage genealogy. Chen Youniao belongs to the fifth family. However, with Chen Youniao's father leaving the monkhood, the fifth family was basically ruined, and only Chen Youniao remained.

One is here.

The main problem is Chen Youniao's father, Chen Mudao. He devoted himself to seeking immortality and only married one wife, Chen Youniao's mother. After his first wife died of illness, he stopped remarrying and became a bachelor, so Chen Youniao had no brothers.

Sisters, only Miaoer.

It's different in other houses. When you become the master's three wives and four concubines, you will have children and a big family.

For example, the third brother who took over the fifth house of the ancestral home has seven children. Now these two are the fifth and seventh.

Speaking of which, Chen Youniao played with them all when he was a child. They were cousins, cousins, and they were all related by blood.

But after ten years of separation, their appearance has changed and it is difficult to recognize them. They are not biological brothers. They have not seen each other for so many years, let alone have much relationship. Moreover, Chen Mudao was obsessed with cultivating immortals and wasted his family business, which has become a negative example in the clan.

Notorious and despised.

"Are you cousin Youniao?"

Fifth brother Chen Han called out and looked up and down.

"What's wrong with it? Do you know that this house has been sold to us and it no longer belongs to your family. Even if you come back, you can't live in it again."

The seventh young lady, Chen Wan, snorted, with an arrogant expression and a bad tone.

Next to him, Uncle Wang was chattering and murmuring, but as soon as he introduced the servant, he had no right to interrupt.

Chen Youniao replied: "Since the house is sold, I will naturally not come back to live there again."

After knowing the fact that his ancestral home had been changed hands, he was ready to leave. It was very uncomfortable to live under someone else's roof, with hands tied and having to look at people's faces everywhere.

Chen Han pondered for a moment: "Cousin Youniao, the clan leader originally decided to allocate three bedrooms to us in this house, but considering the situation of Uncle Mu Dao and you, I was worried that you would come back one day and be homeless, so we decided to stay in the south of the city.

I have allocated a house for you. However, it is relatively remote, and I don’t know the specific situation. You need to go to the clan accounting office to hand it over."

Hearing that there was another house, Chen Youniao's eyes lit up. He finally heard the good news. At least he wouldn't be displaced. He had a place to stay and a roof to cover his head.

He left immediately and took Uncle Wang to claim the house.

Watching his back, Chen Han shook his head and sighed: "Cousin Youniao really delayed Uncle Mu Dao."

Chen Wan sneered: "Fifth brother, they are doing this because of themselves and do not deserve sympathy. The patriarch has already said that seeking Taoism and immortality is not something people like us can think about."

Chen Han nodded: "Cousin Youniao only went to elementary school before. He wasted ten years and can no longer continue studying. As for martial arts training, his muscles and bones have long been formed, and there is no hope. However, there are many affairs in the clan. If he puts down his body,

If you are willing to do it, be a small steward or something like that, if you can be down-to-earth, you will always have something to eat."

The implication is that with the decline of the fifth family, I am afraid that it will not be long before it is removed from the direct line and reduced to a collateral line.

Chen Wanran said: "They still owe a lot of foreign debts, and those creditors are not easy to talk to. Uncle Mu Dao ran away, and the father's debt is repaid by the son. The creditors will definitely come to ask for it. At this level, I think this is helpful.
