Chapter 70 Leaving the House

It’s not that Zheng Fa doesn’t want his family to live a good life.

But these shops and courtyards are not what he can take now.

If I cannot enter the Immortal Gate when attending the Immortal Products Conference, then such a huge fortune will inevitably lead to disputes.

Not to mention the covetousness of others, even someone in the Zhao Mansion might want to snatch it away. After all, these things were divided up by the Madam from the Zhao Mansion's assets.

Even if he could successfully enter the Immortal Gate, according to the eldest lady's situation, he would have to leave his mother and sister in Jingzhou, at least for the first few years.

There were two women, one of whom was less than ten years old. Even with the care of the Zhao family, it would be difficult for them to keep the family fortune.

If he develops smoothly in the immortal sect in the future, then the good days of Zheng's mother are still to come. If not, the wealth in front of them will be returned one day.

The lady pointed at the box and said, "I moved so far, you have to take one, right?"

Butler Wu behind her looked at the box on the table, then looked at his own hands, and fell into deep thought.

Since the lady has given them the indenture, it is indeed not appropriate for them to live in the Zhao family.

Zheng Fa picked up a land deed. It was a courtyard with two entrances. It was not big, only about half the size of the Zheng family courtyard now.

The only advantage is that it is close to the Zhao family. This area is full of wealthy families with many guards, so it is relatively safe.

No matter what happens in the future, it will be convenient for the Zhao family to take care of it.

With the shop given by the senior executive's family, my mother and sister can at least live a worry-free life without attracting jealousy.

The lady frowned slowly when she saw that he took the smallest yard.

"I already said it's tuition. Master Zhang said you're a good teacher. You're really putting me in a difficult position."

She thought for a while, then took out a small purple purse from her waist, and a jade box larger than the purse appeared in her hand.

"Storage bag?"

Zheng Fa thought of Senior Sister Zhang's bracelet, and he didn't expect that the lady also had such a magical weapon.

Butler Wu, who was standing behind the lady, looked at the boxes he had carried along the way, then looked down at his hands, and then at the storage bag in the lady's hand. The thoughtful look on his face became even more intense.

The lady seemed to know what Zheng Fa was thinking, and waved her hand and said, "The cheapest one is not as good as Master Zhang's storage magic weapon."

She carefully opened the jade box, revealing ten transparent, slightly blue minerals.

"What is this?" Zheng Fa guessed.

"Spiritual stones." Madam explained, "These are what I saved when I was in the Immortal Sect."

A trace of pain flashed across her face. It seemed that giving away these spirit stones was more painful for her than giving away those extremely valuable properties.

"Madam, have you also been to the Immortal Gate?"

"Of course, otherwise how can I become an immortal?"

"Then Madam, can you tell me what the Immortal Gate is like?"

Compared to the spiritual stone in front of him, Zheng Fa was more curious about what the immortal gate looked like.

"The Immortal Gate..." Madam said with a flash of memory in her eyes, "If you have outstanding talent, that is where the immortals live."

“If you have average talent, then your life will be worse than that of ordinary people.”

"Like me, I gave up cultivation and returned to the mortal world."

You are a fairy who is tired and wants to go back home to lie down.

It seemed that the memories of the Immortal Gate were not very good. The lady was unwilling to say more. She just pointed at the pile of spiritual stones and said, "These are my savings over the years in the Immortal Gate. Except for the ones for Fan'er and the others, the rest are all here."

"Nowadays, spirit stones are more difficult to find in the Immortal Sect than before. This Zhao family compound may not even be worth a few spirit stones."

Zheng Fa listened and looked at the pile of stones with awe.

According to the lady, this is at least a Zhao family compound.

As if she was afraid that Zheng Fa would be dissatisfied, she also explained: "If you become arrogant because of that immortal item and take those properties, I am not going to give you this spirit stone."

"Um?"

"Talent is important, but without your character, talent may make you die faster. Wouldn't this spirit stone be wasted on you? It would be better for me to wait until my stupid son goes to the immortal gate and is about to starve to death, and then I can provide some support."

It can be seen that spirit stones are really valuable. The lady who accepted the gift of a yard and a shop without blinking an eye now seems a little petty.

Zheng Fa thought about it and picked up the jade box.

The lady seemed relieved at this moment, and looked at Zheng Fa and said seriously: "I came here, whether you regard this spiritual stone as an apology or as a way to win over me, I just want to hear one thing."

Zheng Fa stood up, bowed to his wife and said, "I regard the young master as a friend."

…

A few days later, the door of Zheng Fa's house became busy again.

Today is the day that Zheng Fa's family moves out of the house.

Gao Yuan and the Gao family came over to help pack the luggage. Compared to the Zhao family, the luggage couldn't even be loaded onto an ox cart. When they moved again, the Zheng family's belongings would have to fill four or five horse carriages.

In addition to the furniture given by the senior executive.

Later, the lady had some daily necessities sent over, saying that they were for her to use during her first few days out of the house.

Zheng Fa looked around the empty Zheng family courtyard, then turned back to look at Zheng's mother and younger sister beside him.

There was more confusion than joy on their faces, as if once they were no longer slaves in the Zhao residence, they didn't know how to live in the future. Especially for Zheng's mother, the outside world was strange and dangerous.

"Get in the car."

Zheng Fa took his little sister's hand and led the two of them toward the carriage in front.

When he saw the person driving the car, he was stunned: "It's you again? Is it such a fate?"

The driver turned out to be the old man who always took him to the mansion.

"This is not fate." The old man laughed, jumped off the cart, took a small stool and placed it next to the shaft, letting Zheng's mother and younger sister Zheng Shan step on it to get on the cart. Then he said to Zheng Fa, "I fought hard with other drivers to get this job."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"Rob?"

These carriages were all dispatched by the Madam, and it can be considered as a job for the mansion.

But Zheng Fa didn't understand the word "抢".

"Everyone knows that the young master is going to become an immortal, and they are all eager to come and get some of his divine energy."

“…”

"I still remember what I said at the time, old man, I have worked in the Zhao Mansion for so many years, and I have never seen a hair of an immortal." The old man looked at Zheng Fa with a little awe: "In the future, I can tell people that not only did I see an immortal, but an immortal also rode in my car!"

Zheng Fa smiled and shook his head without saying anything.

Compared with the lady's subtle suggestions and warnings.

Those who are farther away from the Immortal Gate seem to have more fantasies about it.

Zheng Fa sat in the carriage and lifted the curtain on the small window to say goodbye to the Gao family father and son who stayed there.

The old man driving the cart cracked his whip, and the wheels rolled, heading out of the mansion.

Looking at the carriage going away, Gao Yuan felt complicated. He turned around and saw his father's expression was even more complicated.

"Dad, are you laughing or crying?"

"Of course I am laughing. Dad has such a good eye. Zheng Fa has become very successful so quickly."

"Then why do I think you look like you're crying?"

"...How could Dad have such good taste! He flew away before I even had a firm hold of him."

…

In the carriage, Zheng Fa asked the old man driving the carriage:

“Isn’t this road a bit wrong?”

He had entered the mansion through the back door many times and was already familiar with the way.

"My lady has ordered it." The old man driving the carriage replied with a smile, "We will open the main gate today and take you out of the house."

Amid the sound of wheels rolling forward on the stone road, the old driver could be heard sighing, "I'm afraid this front gate hasn't been opened for many years. I've been driving in the palace for 30 years and I've never passed through it."

"I remember when I sent you to the Zhao residence, you had to take my cart that was used to deliver fruits and vegetables to the residence and go through the back door that servants used..."

"Now that you are going to become an immortal, the main gate of this mansion will be opened specially for you."

Zheng Fa listened to the old man's sigh and slowly rubbed the fairy token in his hand.

"Eh?" As soon as he left the house, he heard the old man muttering softly: "Why is the Chen family's carriage parked in front of our house?"

"The Chen family?"

"Didn't I tell you, young master, about the three major families in Jingzhou City? The Chen family is one of the three major families, on par with the Zhao family."

The old man driving the carriage continued, "We used to have a good relationship, but I heard that the Seventh Young Master had conflicts with several other young masters in his family, and we haven't had much contact in recent years. I didn't expect that someone from the Chen family would come to our house today."

How many? All?

It's something that the Seventh Young Master can do.

No wonder he didn't come to see me off today.
