The gossip-loving, complaint-filing Old Ancestor VS the hilarious, dandy Young Master (also the Grandmaster of the Xuanmen).
Qi Jing is the thousand-year-old ancestor of the Qi family, summon...
Qi Jun sighed, "If they treat their own family members like this, I'm afraid they won't treat you well either."
Qi Jing nodded repeatedly, "It's better not to. I'm afraid he'll kill me if he finds out the secret of my immortality."
Qi Jun patted his hand to comfort him. "The second son, Qi Nian, is a good person. He lived with me for a few years earlier. But he fell in love with a little girl some time ago, and he had a big fight with his family and moved away."
Qi Jing narrowed his eyes, "Are they together?"
Qi Jun shook his head and said nothing more, continuing to count, "The eldest son and the second son have a pair of children. Mingyi is the younger sister. She married into the Xu family and has two sons. They were both well-educated.
Mingde is a confused person. His family favors the older twin daughter, and his son is just like his unreasonable father, refusing to listen.
Qi Jun sighed again, "I'm old too, and I don't have that much energy to care about the affairs of future generations. They also don't accept that I'm partial to Qi Mo, and they don't think about the fact that at my age, if Qi Mo wasn't by my side, no one would know whether I was born or died."
"I'm here now, so Xuanxun doesn't have to worry." Qi Jing also patted Qi Jun, "Let me take care of these household chores. You just take good care of yourself and stay healthy. Here, do you want some milk tea? It's very sweet."
Qi Jing handed over a cup, and Qi Jun took it with a smile, continuing, "The third son also has a son and a daughter. His elder sister Minghe married into the second branch of the Shen family. There are two boys in the family. The Xu family has moved to Shenzhen for development.
Mingzhen is the youngest and married late. His eldest son, Qi Nan, is eight years old, and his youngest daughter, Yuanyuan, is only three. Mingzhen loves his wife and children and is unwilling to strive for the position of head of the family. He is just here for the formalities.
Qi Jing counted them and said, "There are only ten of them in this generation. It's not that lively anymore."
Qi Jun came over and whispered, "Two disobedient ones have been kicked out by the third brother. Too many people are not good, they make a lot of noise. There is no use for family rules to deal with them. I, an old man, need to keep up with the times."
Qi Jing narrowed his eyes and smiled, "It's true that things have changed a lot. Before, we couldn't even get enough to eat, but now there are big houses everywhere and no beggars."
"I didn't arrange it well this time when I invited the ancestors back, so I suffered."
Qi Jing shook his head. "It's okay. I read a lot of things. I just get really carsick. The elevator made me feel stuffy and I wanted to vomit."
"You'll sit with this more often and you won't feel dizzy once you get used to it."
Qi Jing was still depressed, "Two wheels are still better, but I can't drive."
"Let him buy a small electric scooter tomorrow so that he can go out more often."
Qi Jing nodded and chatted with Qi Jun about many new things before lying down in the quilt to sleep.
It was already noon when he woke up. He rubbed his eyes and went downstairs. The living room was very lively.
Qi Mo was with Qi Jun, and on the other side sat an old lady, probably Qi Xiuyun, the daughter of the third room. Opposite them were four men, talking to Qi Jun.
Gu Zhou was also there, chatting with a boy of similar age, and there was a little girl next to him.
When Qi Jing went downstairs, a man in his twenties just came in. He looked unhappy and was dressed very casually. He was obviously different from the other people in the villa. Qi Jing guessed that it must be Qi Nian who ran away from home.
Qi Nian glanced at Qi Jing lightly and walked towards the living room. He bowed respectfully to Qi Jun, "Great-grandfather."
Qi Jun nodded, "Stay here if you come, I'll introduce someone to you."
Qi Jun raised his hand and beckoned to Qi Jing, "Come here."
Qi Jing trotted over, and Qi Mo had already stood up, giving the seat next to Qi Jun to Qi Jing.
After sitting down, Qi Jun introduced them to him one by one, "This is Xiuyun, the girl from the third room."
"Hello, Aunt Xiuyun." Qi Jing called according to the current generation. After looking at Qi Xiuyun's face, he couldn't help but frown.
He tilted his head and asked Qi Jun in a low voice, "Is his little granddaughter very favored?"
"She's just this one girl, and I heard she's very spoiled."
Qi Jing felt even more puzzled after hearing this. He counted twice with his fingers, looked back at Qi Mo, and beckoned Qi Mo to lean down before whispering in his ear, "The Shen family's little daughter seems to have made a mistake. Thirty miles east of here, near the river, see if you can find a little girl who was beaten."
Qi Mo was confused, but still agreed and got up to leave the villa.
Qi Jun knew that something must have happened, so he didn't say anything and continued to introduce the four men opposite him, from oldest to youngest, namely Qi Mingwang, Mingtang, Mingde and Mingzhen.
Qi Jun said, "Ming He and Ming Yi will be here that day, and I'll introduce them to you then."
Qi Jing nodded and couldn't help but look at Qi Mingde again. His face showed that there was unrest in the family, or it was because he was too partial.
After introducing the elders, Qi Jun called the younger ones over, "Qi Nian, 21 years old, the second son of Mingtang."
Qi Jing looked at Qi Nian and said to him, "From today on, you will live in the old house and help the head of the family manage the Qi family."
Qi Nian was slightly stunned, and immediately said, "I am no longer a member of the Qi family. I came here just to visit my great-grandfather."
"Whether you are mine or not is up to you." Qi Jing pointed to the sofa next to him, "You sit there, I'll come back to find you."
Qi Nian wanted to say something, but was suppressed by Qi Jun's gaze. He could only do as he was told.
Qi Nian's father, Qi Mingtang, was even more angry and very dissatisfied with his son.
Qi Jun pointed at Qi Yao and said, "Qi Yao, 19 years old, Ming Wang's second son. Next to him is Qi Qi, the little girl, 15."
Qi Yao and Qi Qi obediently called out, "Uncle."
Qi Jing smiled as if to agree, and gave Qi Yao a warning, "Don't play with fire, you will get burned."
Qi Yao looked at Qi Jun in confusion. What does this mean?
Qi Jun said coldly, "Listen to your uncle."
"You just said you wanted to go outside the city to set off fireworks. Something must have happened." Gu Zhou walked over, put his arm on Qi Yao's shoulder, and winked at Qi Jing, "Master, don't worry, I will definitely keep an eye on him."
Qi Jing got a headache when he saw Gu Zhou's face. He quickly turned away and ignored him, fearing that Gu Zhou would suddenly have a seizure and turn into Gu Xuanyi.
Qi Yao was also disgusted. He pulled Gu Zhou's hand away and whispered, "Don't you not believe it? Now come to Ba Xiaoshu?"
"I just walked back to the gates of hell and witnessed it with my own eyes." Gu Zhou grinned, hooked his arm around Qi Yao's neck and retreated.
He really had no interest in a meeting of a bunch of old fogies. "Come on, come on, play a couple of games with me."
"I want one too." Qi Qi chased after him. She also didn't like such serious occasions. They were all elders and had no right to speak at all.
After all the necessary introductions were made, Qi Jing stood up and said to Qi Nian, who was sitting there in silence, "I'm hungry. Come eat with me."
Qi Nian pursed his lips and stood up, following Qi Jing to the restaurant. Then he saw Qi Jing fill the big soup bowl with rice, press it down, and pick up a small pile of vegetables. Then he carried the big bowl upstairs and called him to go along.
