"I met a bunch of NPCs in Bei'an City. They were planning a rebellion! But I forgot to record it!!"
"Fuck, new incident?"
"No wonder! When I was watching the plot at the City Lord's Mansion, I noticed that the soldiers were coming in and out much more frequently than before!"
"So, even when we players aren't looking, the plot is quietly progressing? Oh my god, how much are we missing?"
"@Super Xiaoduan, Big Brother, go and sound out Boss Cheng!"
"Next time you log in, are there any players who want to form a team to catch rebels? According to the general nature of games, events that occur in the city are definitely related to the city's reputation or achievements. Then, maybe you can even get a job in the city and get a monthly salary!"
"Are you the planner?"
In the player group, He Nian's words sparked heated discussions among the players.
After sharing their information, the players unexpectedly figured out what might happen next.
The caravan from Dongxing City is about to arrive, and a group of people are planning to overthrow Wang Fu's City Lord's Mansion.
Some players mentioned the possibility that this was the same group of people, but without evidence, the matter was left unresolved.
In short, the players who just logged off are looking forward to the next time they go online.
…
Yang's Compound.
Noon, main hall.
A round rosewood table was filled with more than twenty exquisite dishes, and more than ten people were sitting around it.
Tang Shuya sat in the main seat and looked around.
Everyone whose heart beat quickened and became extremely nervous when their gaze swept over them.
Even Lu Qing felt a little nervous.
However, it was not because of Tang Shuya's gaze, but because of the atmosphere at the table.
It feels like the company leaders are holding a review meeting because of poor performance.
"Lu Qing is the grandson of an old friend of mine. I haven't seen him for over ten years, so naturally I have to entertain him personally." Tang Shuya spoke slowly and leisurely, "I won't bother you."
Some of the four Yang siblings lowered their heads, some smiled apologetically, and some pretended nothing had happened.
Their spouses and children were also kept silent and dared not move.
Large-scale family dinners like this were only held during festivals and holidays, but the atmosphere back then was definitely more relaxed than it is now.
Of course they understood that their mother did not want them to come into contact with the grandson of this deceased friend.
"Let's eat."
"Lu Qing, you have to try our Lao Hu's cooking! Lao Hu and his apprentices are all chefs in big restaurants in the city! Do you cook for yourself in the mountains? Oh, it's really hard work. No wonder you're so thin. You need to eat more, okay?"
As she spoke, Tang Shuya turned the dining table and picked up a chicken leg for Lu Qing.
In a world without industrial farms, a chicken leg would still be the main dish on the table.
The protagonist can be a favored child, a respected elder, or an adult in the limelight.
Lu Qing belongs to the category of "distinguished guest".
The Yang family has no rule of not talking while eating or sleeping.
Yang Jin and his siblings began to find topics to talk about.
The content is generally about how the farmland is growing this year, what happened to a certain tenant farmer, or what kind of education their children have read and how much they have grown...
Completely avoided Lu Qing.
After all, the mother has spoken, and no one dares to run into trouble.
Because Lu Qing had taken a medicinal bath recently, his appetite naturally increased.
This table full of delicious food was just what he wanted.
After three rounds of wine, the dishes have five flavors.
The atmosphere at the table became relaxed thanks to the efforts of Yang Jin and others.
Tang Shuya also smiled several times during the meal.
When a topic is over, everyone has a chance to drink tea to moisten their throats.
A young voice suddenly broke the silence:
"Brother Lu, are you also an immortal like grandma?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions on Yang Jin and the others' faces froze.
But they still controlled themselves and did not look in the direction of the sound.
At times like this, it's best to pretend nothing happened. If you look over, the atmosphere will definitely become worse than the current silence.
"Lu Qing, my grandson asked if you are an immortal?" Tang Shuya turned around and asked Lu Qing with a smile.
This puts the choice of whether to hide his identity in Lu Qing's hands.
"Brother is not an immortal."
Lu Qing also smiled and looked at the child at the opposite table who looked only five or six years old.
The child nodded ignorantly, but kept looking in Lu Qing's direction.
The reason is very simple.
It's just that children naturally have a liking for good-looking people.
After dinner, Tang Shuya took Lu Qing on a tour of the Yang family compound. They also went outside to look at the fields and visit the tenant farmers. From the attitudes and living conditions of the tenant farmers, it was clear that Tang Shuya and the Yang family were good landlords.
The mother took Lu Qing away, but Yang Jin and the other three gathered in a study room somewhere.
"Yang Cheng, you'd better watch your youngest son's mouth!" Yang Jin said in a cold tone.
"How can you control a child?" Yang Cheng asked, "If my youngest son hadn't asked, how would he know Lu Qing's background? In the end, you should thank my son. Next time we celebrate, remember to give him a bigger red envelope!"
"What do you think would happen if your mother thought that you were using your youngest son to ask her the questions she wanted to ask?" Yang Ru raised the corner of his mouth and said lightly.
"you!"
Yang Jin waved his hand, signaling that they should not dwell on this topic, and then said, "Let's be frank. What happened between the four of us is our Yang family's family affair. There's no need to investigate Lu Qing's background so thoroughly. We just need to know if Mother has any intention of giving away a share of the family property!"
Lu Qing's appearance is very good.
But he didn't wear jade, sword, or horseback, and even the clothes he wore were all black and linen, ordinary clothes at best. It was obvious that he was not from a wealthy family.
If their mother could help them with a few dozen taels of silver, they would still accept it.
The fear is that the mother will be kind-hearted and give out more money.
After all, they had never seen their mother so enthusiastic towards any old friend.
What's more, this is the offspring of an old friend!
"Okay, let's take it one step at a time. We don't know what kind of person Lu Qing is. Maybe he'll leave tomorrow!" Yang Jin concluded and left.
The other three also left.
There are many people in the yard and they are gossipy. If word gets out and is seen by someone who shouldn't be there, that would be bad.
This Lu Qing said that he is not an immortal, so what if this is an excuse to hide his identity?
Yang Jin thought of a possibility.
Yang Cheng's son gave him another inspiration.
So Yang Jin found his seventeen-year-old son Yang Jian and told him, "Be more restrained these days and don't offend any guests."
Yang Jian nodded in agreement on the surface, but in his heart, he had already begun to think about giving it a try.
Yang Jin handled his rebellious son just right.
