Chapter 1047 - Preparing for College Admissions
The woman who was called Miss Yuanshan finally regained some reason when she heard Steward Meng's words.
After living in Xiahou's house for so many years, she naturally knew that the old man didn't like to see them make trouble in the mansion the most.
If he let the old man know that she took the initiative to stir up trouble, he would definitely serve her family law.
However, she is about to participate in the college admissions, and she must not miss the slightest.
As for this group of cheap things from the countryside, since they have arrived in the Imperial Capital of Fenglin, she has the opportunity to teach them a lesson, but she is not in a hurry.
Realizing this, Xiahou Yuanshan tried her best to suppress the anger that kept coming out, glared at Su Moliang and Xiahou Wanxuan and the others viciously, gritted her teeth and shouted, "Hmph, a group of cheap things who can't get on the table also want to cling to my Xiahou family, I want to see how capable you are and how long you can stay in this Xiahou Mansion." We'll see!"
After that, Xiahou Yuanshan and the other brothers and sisters left angrily.
When Steward Meng saw that the person was gone, he turned his eyes to look at Xiahou Wanyan, and explained with a little apologies, "The one just now is Xiahou Yuanshan, the youngest daughter of your third uncle, she was born with this temperament, don't take it to heart." After a few days of tiring travel, you should be tired, so the old slave has sent someone to prepare the room. The two young ladies temporarily stayed in Yilan Pavilion, while the two sons lived in the Bamboo Brocade Pavilion next door. Have a good rest tonight, and tomorrow I will meet the old man and the head of the house. ”
With that, he led the way and led them into the arranged courtyard.
Maybe they were really tired, but after everyone settled down, they went to bed early.
It wasn't until noon the next day that the maid from Xiahou Mansion came to inform them to participate in the family banquet that Su Moliang and Xiahou Wanxuan hurriedly cleaned up a few times and hurried to the front hall of Xiahou Mansion.
At this time, there were already a lot of people sitting in the hall, and on top was a white-haired old man in a brown robe, his cheekbones were very high, his bronzed face was deeply engraved with wrinkles, and his two deep-set eyes were deep and bright, revealing a majestic cold light.
Sitting below him was a middle-aged man dressed in black, the man looked seven or eight points similar to the old man, only slightly younger, and looking at his serious expression, he seemed to be an unsmiling person.
In the lower left opposite the middle-aged man, there were three other middle-aged men of the same age as him, all of whom were very similar in appearance, and they knew at a glance that they were brothers.
When Su Moliang saw the direction where these people were sitting, he guessed that sitting at the top was the old man Xiahou who everyone feared, and the man in the black robe should be the current head of the Xiahou family, that is, Xiahou Wanxuan's uncle. The three people sitting on the left are the second, third and fifth uncles.
Yesterday, she specially learned about the relationship between the characters of the Xiahou family, and learned that the old man Xiahou had a total of five sons and two daughters.
The sister-in-law inherited the family business, the second, third and fifth sons assisted from the side, and the fourth son, that is, Xiahou Wanxuan's father, was driven out of Xiahou Mansion for committing an unforgivable crime.
As for the two daughters, one entered the palace as a concubine, and the other married into the Sun family, one of the six major families, so they are not in the house.
And the teenagers and girls sitting on both sides of the hall are all the younger generation in Xiahou Mansion, including Xiahou Yuanshan and others who had a conflict with Su Moliang yesterday.
When they saw Xiahou Wanxuan, Su Moliang and the others walking into the hall to salute the old man and the head of the family, they all cast contemptuous glances, and looked back and forth on them with disdainful and sneering eyes, obviously looking down on them, country girls from remote mountainous areas.
The middle-aged man in the black robe, when he saw so many people coming in, his pupils flashed with a touch of surprise, and he frowned slightly and looked at Steward Meng who was waiting on the side, and asked loudly, "Steward Meng, didn't you bring Xiahou Wanyan back on the orders of the old man? Why did you bring so many people?"
Steward Meng knew that he would inevitably be questioned by the head of the family, so he hurriedly stepped forward and replied respectfully, "Go home, these are Miss Wanyan's brothers and sisters, at that time, Xiahou Xinhong begged the old slave to bring him a few children back, but the old slave couldn't resist him, so he had to take them back." ”
"Bastard, Steward Meng, you are so bold, you can do whatever Xiahou Xinhong asks you to do, is he the head of the family or am I the head of the family?"
Steward Meng trembled with fright, and hurriedly knelt down, pleading in fear, "The old slave deserves to die, please forgive the master of the family." The old slave just saw that these children were still the blood of the Xiahou family, and it was really pitiful to be outcast, that's why-"
"Hmph, you didn't ask me what I meant, you made an assertion, I'm afraid you're going to climb on my head in the future! "The head of the Xiahou family has always been angry about Xiahou Xinhong's murder back then, and he doesn't even want to see his children.
If it weren't for the fact that Xiahou Wanyan was an alchemist of the Ming Dan Sect level, and the old man strongly demanded it, he would not have agreed to let her come back, so he was even more dissatisfied with Steward Meng's practice of bringing back a few other little beasts.
As soon as the head of the family gave the order, several guards suddenly came outside, ready to make a move on Steward Meng.
At this moment, a loud and heavy voice suddenly interjected, which immediately shocked everyone present, "Stop! Let them come back, that's what I mean!"
At this time, the white-haired old man above spoke in a deep voice, and his sharp gaze swept at Xiahou Wanxuan and the others, exuding an irrefutable majesty.
The head of the Xiahou family frowned, and asked disapprovingly, "Father, bringing Xiahou Wanyan back is already extraordinarily gracious, and the others have no achievements, what qualifications do they have to return to the Xiahou family?"
"It's been so many years, and it's time for you to let go. What's more, it was a mistake made by adults and had nothing to do with children. No matter how they say that they are also the blood of the Xiahou family, now that the Xiahou family is in decline among the six major families, the younger generation is urgently needed to revitalize the family, and I hope that the head of the family will focus on the overall situation and tolerate this group of children. "Old man Xiahou is no better than the head of the Xiahou family, after all, this group of children is his own grandson and granddaughter, and he is naturally a little reluctant in his heart.
And the head of the Xiahou family is just their uncle, and he has an enmity with their father, so he will definitely not be able to tolerate them, but since the old man has said so, he can't object anymore, but his face is terrifyingly dark, and he is obviously angry.
Old man Xiahou ignored the anger of the head of the Xiahou family, bowed slightly at Xiahou Wanyan and the others, and reminded solemnly, "In a few days, it will be the enrollment of the academy, and you will be assessed with your brothers and sisters at that time, so you must hurry up and cultivate in the next few days." Besides, the Xiahou family has never raised idlers, since you have returned to the Xiahou family, you must remember the mission of reviving the prestige of the Xiahou family, you know?"
Hearing this, Xiahou Wanyan and the others all nodded obediently.
Seeing that they understood, the old man did not leave them, and waved his hand to let them retreat.
When Su Moliang heard the news of the college's enrollment, she had an idea early in the morning, this time she came to the imperial capital with the relationship of Xiahou Wanxuan and others, just to join the academy.
She urgently needs to recover her strength now, and it is definitely not enough to absorb spiritual power, she also needs actual combat experience, so entering the academy to cultivate is a good method!
She must quickly become stronger and form her own forces.
