Chapter 198 Forbearance and Sacrifice
Ding Yi was extremely embarrassed, he hadn't thought of this situation, he was very cramped, he didn't know what to say, and he didn't know how to deal with Ji Honglian.
If it is an ordinary mortal, the mother-in-law may take a good look at the son-in-law, see his mind and attitude towards his daughter, and even some mothers-in-law will put forward many requirements for the son-in-law. However, Ji Honglian didn't dare, and she wouldn't do this to Ding Yi. Because she and her daughter were just mortals, ordinary civilians who clinged to cultivators like Ding Yi. Along the way, he listened to the legendary stories of his son-in-law, from Leng Yancui to Jiyun City, and from Jiyun City to Black Sand City, Ding Yi has been mythologized by these mortals.
Ding Yi is now a god's residence passed down by word of mouth, and a saint in the hearts of ordinary people. The story of Ding Yi was widely spread by those commoners, and like many famous heroes in history, he was invited to the shrine by these mortals. Ji Honglian had lived in Xintiandi for a month, and she had seen the attitude of the civilians of Jiyun City towards the Ding family, which was the kind of fanaticism that only religious fanatics in ancient times had.
She once saw a foreign merchant who sulked because of the long queue time, slandered the Ding family, and said disrespectful things to Ding Yi. As a result, this unlucky ghost was beaten by the civilians of the entire city, even the guys who were serving them food at the time, the chef of the restaurant, and the diners who were eating in the restaurant were all furious, and as long as the civilians of Jiyun City heard about this matter, regardless of men and women, old and young, and even cultivators, Ji Honglian saw the terrible scene of tens of thousands of people beating a person for the first time in her life.
Especially those teenagers who are still underage, that kind of enthusiasm makes her feel Ding Yi's unparalleled influence and appeal in this city.
The people of Jiyun City have also become more cohesive and influential because of such a legendary figure in this city. From Jiyun City all the way to Heisha City, the large and small inns and hotels along the way, I heard that they are Ding Yi's family, not only many inns and hotels do not charge their travel expenses, but they all receive them with the highest standards. This made Ji Honglian full of pride and pride on the one hand, and at the same time full of awe for her son-in-law.
"I didn't expect my aunt to come here, I came all the way from the school, without any preparation, and I didn't bring you a gift, which is very rude. Ding Yi first expressed his apology.
"Xiaoyi, you don't have to be polite, we came here rashly without your permission in advance, which has added a lot of trouble to you......" Ji Honglian said cautiously and politely, while secretly observing her son-in-law.
Ding Yi's appearance is not very handsome, just a little handsome. Although he is still young and a little childish, there is naturally an affinity and appeal between his gestures. Ding Yi is a child born in a civilian family, but his speech and demeanor are generous and decent, no worse than the children of those families, maybe Ding Yi has been in contact with some high-level cultivators in the past six months, and he naturally has a unique demeanor of a leader.
Although he is only wearing very civilian and popular clothes, it not only does not hide his extraordinary ordinary children's bearing, but also has a unique charm.
Xu Manli personally made tea for Ding Yi, Xu Manli has changed a lot now from when she first met, she used to be hot, and her spicy and reckless personality is rarely seen now, she has now become more intellectual, more graceful.
In fact, Xu Manli's temperament has changed greatly in the past six months, and she is no longer the willful little girl she was at the beginning, her requirements are very low, she just wants to protect the love that belongs to her, and she can do nothing for the person she loves.
She had to actively devote herself to the various operations of Xintiandi in addition to completing her junior high school homework every day, Xintiandi is the country laid by Ding Yi, and she has a reason to help Ding Yi keep this home.
In September, she is going to Phoenix City to study in the business women's high school, she was originally naughty and playful, she has changed her past, she is already smart and clever, and now she is studying very hard, even in Black Sand City, she has been studying hard all the way to high school courses. She wants to learn as soon as possible so that she can help Ding Yi to the greatest extent. And all this only stems from Ding Yi's speech at the venue of the Hyatt Hotel, a dream woven for civilians.
Ding Yi asked Ji Honglian's mother and daughter about the situation in Jiyun City, and learned that his family was doing well now, and Xu Manli also handed over the letters given to him by the Ding family.
Generally speaking, everything is not bad, Ding Yun has caught up this year after falling behind in his studies for several years, and he will be in junior high school in September. Ding Li is also doing well in Phoenix, and he also brought a letter to Ding Yi. Ding Zhaoding and his wife are still doing well, and in addition to worrying about this young son, they just keep reminding Ding Yi to be careful.
But of course Ding Yi knows the subtext of his father, and he also knows that he can't give his parents any promises and guarantees, although he misses his family a lot, but he can't do anything for them. In the case that he can't grow into a powerful cultivator, and he can't change his fate, at the moment, in addition to improving his cultivation level, he has no good way to improve the current situation for the time being.
Yuan Zhen's family went to Nanping, although Yuan Shu is still in Xintiandi, but now people are also in Nanping, Xintiandi has set up a marketing center in the south, responsible for the three southernmost provinces, and Yuan Shu is the person in charge there. This can not only facilitate Yuan Zhen's family, but also use Yuan Zhen's identity to do things in the south. Yuan Zhen's news was all transmitted by Yuan Shu.
Yuan Zhen will definitely not return to Jiyun City this summer, and this guy went to Zhongshan Academy, and basically did not contact his relatives and friends here in Jiyun City, which made Ding Yi a little sad. After all, they are brothers who have played together since childhood, and Yuan Zhen made Ding Yi feel a little unhappy by doing this.
But everyone has their own ambitions, and Ding Yi can't say anything. Several major families in Jiyun City are not bad to Xintiandi now, in fact, before Ding Yi left, he drew up a policy plan to unite the Jiyun City family, and gave away some of the benefits to bind up those major families, and at present, except for the Mu family, which has a close relationship with the Ding family, the other major families are also very friendly to Xintiandi.
As for the Mu Yanran Foundation, Ding Yi handed over this piece to Ding Yun to operate, and the relationship with these heavenly pride has always been very harmonious, this is the network that Ding Yi has accumulated, those advanced people in the cultivation realm, originally did not expect that the little investment made unintentionally at the beginning would now have such a rich return.
They used the car puppet to recruit a group of fellow disciples in their respective schools and sects. This is also of great benefit to their respective developments. At the same time, it has also made a lot of efforts for the promotion of car puppets. Xintiandi has set up a team for these proud people, and has been doing good after-sales service and maintenance work. At the same time, it also tailors a new model for them. At present, the relationship between the two sides is quite good.
Xu Manli was a little surprised, but the attitude of those cultivators towards her made her a little frightened, especially that Hua Yingzi made her even more afraid.
No matter how Ding Yi didn't deal with Xu Manli, people had traveled thousands of kilometers to see her, and he couldn't keep a cold face, although he was not familiar with Heisha City, but after talking about it for a while, he took the initiative to invite Ji Honglian's mother and daughter to go around Heisha City together and scatter their hearts.
As an important stronghold of the Xuanzhong faction, Black Sand City still has many places of interest and unique cultural attractions.
Ding Yi is not familiar with Black Sand City, but there are many students from Xuanzang Academy in this Black Sand City who have practiced here, and these are Ding Yi's senior brothers and sisters, so when Ding Yi greeted a waiter, identified himself, and made a request, a senior brother came over here after a while.
Coincidentally, this is still an acquaintance Ding Yi knows, Jin Yuanwai.
Of course, this Senior Brother Jin's real name is not Jin Yuanwai, but Jin Yuanheng, but everyone calls him Jin Yuanwai.
Jin Yuanwai came here for an internship during the summer vacation, and he didn't expect to meet Ding Yi here.
Ding Yi is the most special person in the Xuanzang Academy, and Jin Yuanwai is of course deeply impressed by him. This is a young man with a hearty personality, just by the fact that he traded wine with Zhou Yu in private, it can be seen that this is also a guy with a bright head.
"Ding Yi, how could it be you? How did you think of coming to this Black Sand City to hang out, this is your sister and mother, hello everyone, I am Ding Yi's senior brother, Jin Yuanheng, everyone calls me Jin Yuanwai, you can also call me that, Xiao Yi and I are good buddies, everyone rest assured, the tour of this Black Sand City will be handed over to me, I guarantee that you have a good time today, there is no one I am not familiar with in this Black Sand City...... Hey. ”
"This little brother Jin is wrong, we are not Xiao Yi's mother and sister, I am his mother-in-law, this is the little daughter Xu Manli, she is Ding Yi's wife. Ji Honglian hurriedly explained.
This son-in-law is too tight, she doesn't dare to be careless now, this is the most satisfying stroke of genius in her husband's life. Marrying the Ding family is also the most recognized event for her, she enjoys the glory of being Ding Yi's mother-in-law, and she doesn't want to lose the title of Ding Yi's mother-in-law.
"Ding Yi, you have a fiancée? Oh, I'm going to introduce my cousin to you, but at first glance, this Sister Xu is a daughter from a famous family, with a dusty temperament and a beautiful appearance, and I am also a perfect match for my junior brother Ding, I don't know where my aunt and Sister Xu are from a famous family?"
Xu Manli secretly felt a little annoyed that Ji Honglian didn't discuss with her, so she rashly introduced her, you must know that Ding Yi is now a cultivator, and their Xu family's own family is not a famous family, not to mention that they are still a side branch of the Xu family. Businessmen and the like, and a small business family in a small place in the southwest, are simply not able to be on the stage, and Xu Manli's humble request is only to be Ding Yi's side room, and it is enough to be recognized by Ding Yi. I didn't dare to hope to become Ding Yi's wife.
She was about to speak, but Ji Honglian had already taken over: "We are the Xu family of Leng Yancui. ”
Jin Yuanwai is also a well-informed cultivator, and Leng Yancui really knows this place.
"Leng Yancui, isn't that a small place in the southwestern countryside?" Jin Yuanwai blurted out, immediately knowing that he had said the wrong thing, and his words were a little scornful.
Ding Yi could see that Ji Honglian's mother and daughter were a little cramped, and said with a straight face: "Senior Brother Jin doesn't look down on my family's background?"
Jin Yuanwai hurriedly said: "Don't dare, don't dare, I just feel that it's not worth it for my cousin." ”
The cultivator looks down on mortals, even though he is still good to Ding Yi and has a lot of intentions to make friends, but his contempt for Ji Honglian's mother and daughter is still quite obvious. His so-called cousin is just a pretense, in fact, he doesn't have such a cousin to introduce to Ding Yi at all.
Ding Yi said: "Senior Brother Jin, I respect you as my senior, but your attitude towards my family makes me very unhappy, Senior Brother Jin, please go back, this Black Sand City, the junior brother will accompany you, so I won't bother you." ”
Ding Yi is really a little unhappy, he is a person who pays attention to equality and freedom, he stumbled all the way to become a cultivator, and he still has great respect and compassion for civilians and mortals in his bones. This is not a matter of face, but a conflict between the concept of life and humanistic thought.
Jin Yuanwai was embarrassed, he didn't expect Ding Yi to say such unkind words. You must know that the class thinking of the separation between heaven and man has long been deeply rooted in the bone marrow of these cultivators, and cultivators not only have their pride in the face of mortals, but also look down on mortals in their hearts. Ding Yi spoke up for Ji Honglian's mother and daughter, which seemed to him to be completely unreasonable.
There has never been such a situation between the brothers of the same sect in the Xuanzang Academy, even if they compete with each other in the academy, and even have disputes and fights, but out of the academy, they are all brothers who are too iron to be iron, this is a kind of culture of the Xuanzang Academy, a kind of inheritance from generation to generation, Jin Yuanwai didn't expect Ding Yi to be so polite, he was stunned for a while.
Xu Manli grabbed Ding Yi who was about to leave, she had already found her position in the humiliation again and again, Ding Yi was the person she loved deeply, she would never allow Ding Yi to be hurt in any way, and she would never allow Ding Yi to be rejected by her peers because of herself, causing a gap. She herself can be despised and even humiliated, but she must not let Ding Yi be subverted and have an accident on the way forward because of herself, which is something she can never forgive.
"Lord Jin, please forgive Lord Ding Yi for his rash and recklessness, in fact, you know that according to the laws of the empire, it is impossible for a commoner woman like us to become the wife of the cultivators, please forgive him for his unintentional mistakes, the little woman is just Lord Ding Yi's concubine, a lowly commoner, just a small person who is attached to Lord Ding Yi.
Lord Ding Yi because he is a genius, he created a business of Xintiandi car puppet when he was young, our Xu family has only helped the Ding family in business, Lord Ding Yi is a letter who has a favor and will be repaid, and he has always been very protective of our Xu family, it is our Xu family who wants to rely on Lord Ding Yi, with the greed that should not be there, and wants to maintain this cooperative relationship, so they will cling to Lord Ding Yi, all the mistakes are our fault, please forgive Lord Ding Yi, he is still young, and his life experience is insufficient, Lord Jin, you are his senior brother, please forgive Lord Ding Yi。
It would be a sin for two adults to have a rift because of the little woman! All this is the fault of the little woman, and you must be forgiving for the sake of your fellow disciples. Xu Manli said that she gave a big gift to Jin Yuanheng.
Ji Honglian also knew that there was a huge class difference between this cultivator and the commoners. also figured out the twists and turns in the middle, and hurriedly saluted.
Ding Yi knows Xu Manli's character, this is a woman who dares to love and hate, if it weren't for the fact that she values herself so much, she wouldn't have done such a low-voiced thing. This made him very moved, he knew Xu Manli's grievances and unwillingness, he couldn't help but sigh, and felt very aggrieved in his heart.
Jin Yuanheng didn't mean to blame Ding Yi, after all, Xu Manli was right, Ding Yi was just a teenager, and it was normal for him not to understand these etiquettes. He already had the intention of currying favor with Ding Yi, where would he blame Ding Yi.
