The Grand Void – Becoming a Dragon

Chapter 5: No wealth is not enough

   The weather is clear and sunny

   The gentle breeze brushed over the treetops, swaying gently.

   Zhongwang Mountain, Qianlong Villa.

   "Is lunch ready?"

   "The son is coming before noon."

   "Should the son's room be cleaned up again? Do you put all the things the old man prepared?"

   "Is the red lantern in front of the door hung up?"

   "The sundries over there, put them in the sundries room quickly, don't put them here to get the eyes out."

   "From the open space in front of the villa to the road in the son's house, to clean up, the various decorations must be fine, so that the son can look at it comfortably, understand?"

   The village is full of liveliness, and the white-haired housekeeper is shouting and instructing everyone to do things, but he is already sweating profusely and is quite tired.

   Up and down the villa, both the housekeeper and the maid are very busy.

  ——

   "The son is coming!"

   suddenly spread.

   The butler rushed out the door, but there were already people he had prepared in front of the door, lined up on both sides, waiting for Master Hou to arrive.

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

   is a young man sitting in a wheelchair. He looks like a young man in his early twenties, with a beautiful and handsome appearance, and his skin is as white as snow.

   He smiled and groaned, but he was spotlessly dressed in white.

  Behind him, there is a tower-like strong man with a blank face, pushing the wheelchair.

   "The son..."

  The old butler hurried over and said: "Why did the son come here early?"

Zhuang Ming said with a smile: "Fengcheng is prosperous, and there is a lot of traffic, but I am happy and can't sit still at the mansion. First come to the villa to live... the things I need from the mansion will be carried over in the afternoon. Let Yin Ming go with him."

   The old steward understood that the martial arts of Qianyang, Yinming and Ming were unpredictable. Since the son let Yin Ming stay and escort, it also means that there are many precious things among these things, and even the son attaches great importance to it.

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

   Zhuang Ming looked at the old housekeeper, and said, "I want to move in, but Mr. Bai is so busy with sweat. For the rest of these things, order the young and strong to do it."

   The old housekeeper listened, wiped off his sweat, and said, "I thought the son came only after midday, and he just ordered people to make arrangements. Everyone hasn't changed clothes yet, but they are all sweating profusely."

   Zhuang Ming waved his hand and said, "You shouldn’t be rude to outsiders in front of these things, but Zhuangli is your own family, don’t pay too much attention to these, you can save yourself some effort."

   The old housekeeper felt warm, and he whispered.

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

   Zhuang Ming waved his hand and said: "Okay, show me what is outstanding about this Qianlong Villa, can it really be hidden like a real dragon like the name I named it?"

  ——

   This mountain villa occupies a vast area.

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

  From the open space in front of the doorstep to the threshold steps, the double lions in front of the door, the copper ring on the door, the corridor, the front hall, the lobby, the backyard, the garden, etc., all are extremely delicate, as in a picture.

   Other than that, everything, all kinds of decorations, vases and ancient paintings are all extraordinary.

   "I learned that the prince would live here for a long time, so when it was built, the old slave personally monitored it and didn't dare to lose it. Especially these precious objects were personally handled."

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

   Zhuang Ming said with a smile: "Lao Bai is really interested, in fact, it doesn't need to be so troublesome."

   The old butler said: "If you want to live here for a long time, you can't be too careless."

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

He laughed and said, "Fengcheng's affairs have settled down. You can make preparations. If there is no change, I will personally go to the capital city in two months and take the medicine, cloth, and salt over there. Step down."

   The old butler heard the words, but he stopped talking, and finally did not speak.

"The son." The little maid couldn't help but said softly: "The weather has become fast these days, and the cold and warm are unpredictable. The outside affairs can be stabilized by your arrangement. You don't have to worry too much. You need to be tight. ."

   "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 achieved by just staying steady? Traveling against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat... Many opportunities cannot be ignored. Now several businesses in the capital seem to be grand and prosperous, but only It’s hot for a while, but it’s actually not enough. After some time, it will naturally fade. It can't flow long, it can't be stable for a long time, and it can't meet the requirements of my heart."

   "Don't talk about other things, just talk about this mountain villa, it seems to be beautiful, but in our garden, flowers, plants, rockery, water and other things need to be taken care of."

   "The housekeepers, housekeepers, maids, nurses, cooks, etc. in this villa, eat and drink daily, and monthly wages, are also considered a lot of expenses."

   "Besides, the medicinal materials I need, the ancient books I ask for, and the silver used in them are all beyond imagination."

   "The so-called sitting and eating mountains and empty space, no matter how wealthy you have, you can't help but splurge."

   "Water without roots is not long-lasting, and our business is the source of water, we must not ignore it."

   At this point, he couldn't help sighing, shook his head slightly, and laughed at himself slightly.

   And deep in the eyes, there are also some complicated colors.

   These words of him actually have a foreword long ago.

   No wealth is not enough to raise the Tao!

  ——

   No wealth is not enough to raise the Tao!

   This sentence, for him, felt very deep!

   At the time he entered the world for the first time, he was discouraged, and he was young and profligate. Later, when he returned from a cliff, his family properties were already cleaned up.

   Without money, it’s a difficult problem for UU reading www.uukanshu.com to eat a full stomach, so what about meditation?

   If there are no easy days, I want to cultivate the Tao, but I am afraid that people will starve to death before the Tao is completed.

   It takes countless resources to nurture the young dragon, so he started to do business, worked hard and intrigues, and finally had the wealth of this wealthy party.

   Only in this way can he have enough money to buy all kinds of high-value large tonics, and even rare treasures in the world, to nourish that line of breath.

   That line of fresh air, after being nourished by all this, can it grow to where it is today 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 are incomplete.

   Among these classics, some were completely useless, and some recorded rare methods, which benefited him a lot.

  After several years of circumstances, he has the wealth of his family.

   But he also knows that this is not enough.

  If he were just a mortal, maybe it would be enough. After all, the rich side is enough for him to squander for the tenth generation, which is more than enough.

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

   At the moment, the most important thing is to "raise a dragon"!

   It took me so much effort to raise this dragon!

   Today's wealth is still not enough for him!

   At this moment, a voice suddenly came from outside.

   "Xuancheng Qian Patriarch, please see me."

   heard this name, and several people in the audience changed their complexions, implying anger.

  Only the dry face looks as usual and the face is firm.

   "It's not too slow to come."

   Zhuang Ming smiled and nodded, and said, "Let him in."
