The ancestral home of the Ying Zhao family in Xianyang.
Dozens of people gathered in the ancestral hall, almost all of them were relatives within four generations of the general, and those with more distant relatives had no chance to come in. From the 80-year-old grandfather to the great-great-grandchildren who were only a few years old, almost all of them were present.
All the people present wore the most solemn attire at the request of Mr. Zhao, wearing dark silk and gorgeous clothes. With the good genes of the Zhao family, everyone's appearance was above 7 points. From a distance, it seemed as if time had gone back hundreds of years to the era when the princes ruled the world.
Old Master Zhao sat in the center of the lobby, leaning on a mahogany cane, squinting his eyes, looking very old. But except for Wei Xi, everyone else was in awe of him.
The second person present was not Zhao Zong, the head of the family, but Wei Xi.
She sat on the right side of Mr. Zhao. Wei Xi was still wearing sportswear, with her hair tied up to reveal her forehead, looking more capable and refreshing, with a calm and elegant temperament. Compared with the military uniform she wore in the past, she was like a completely different person, at least without the suffocating majesty.
Maybe it was because of the military uniform, or maybe it was because I was wearing casual clothes today.
The half-grown children were no longer as reserved as before in front of Wei Xi. Some played with their mobile phones, some played around, and some laughed. The adults lowered their heads and whispered to each other, talking about family matters or about Wei Xi's marriage partner.
Although their words were restrained, Wei Xi could tell that they were unhappy with Li Yi's family background. If it weren't for his parents' words about him being a foundation-building cultivator, the disdain and confusion in their eyes would have probably overflowed.
This scene was quite familiar to Wei Xi. In his previous life, his father's family was also very concerned about Li Changsheng's family background, and there was even a cousin who came to break up the marriage.
Birds of a feather flock together.
The powerful people in the Qin Dynasty were a circle, and they intermarried and were related by blood. For example, the mother of this body was from the Qin Oil and Gas Group, her cousin was the former prime minister, her brother-in-law was the Minister of Revenue, and her mother was from a military industry group family.
Relationships like these exist almost everywhere in the upper circles of the Qin Dynasty, and this is especially true the closer one gets to Xianyang.
This kind of family-run empire can make people feel inexplicably arrogant. While being proud of their own family and bloodline, they despise others, the so-called untouchables, commoners, and mud-legged people.
In modern times, it is called a meritorious family, and in ancient times, it is called a noble family.
The continuous improvement of the social system will put power in a cage, but the class that holds power will not disappear.
Before the modern society completely collapsed, and the law was still effective, they could still maintain their pride. But this situation would slowly change, and the monks would take the lead.
Compared with a small group of people, the probability of a strong person emerging from the billions of civilians in the world is greater.
Mr. Zhao asked in a slightly slow and hoarse voice: "I heard that Wanyu's husband doesn't seem to want to stay in Daqin."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone stopped what they were doing and looked over.
Zhao Zong replied: "We talked yesterday, and he said he would go back to Zhoudi in a few days and did not plan to stay here."
Yesterday, Li Yi acted very calm, but his attitude was unusually tough. He just said that he would not stay in Qin, and then he just smiled and said nothing no matter what they said.
If it were a normal family, with an ordinary daughter, Zhao Zong would have slammed the table and yelled. It was really arrogant and rude.
"I'll be back in a few days. What kind of person are you who's so arrogant?"
A middle-aged woman said dissatisfiedly that she was the aunt of Wei Xi's body, and this was the leader in the Daqin automobile industry.
"I heard he's from the countryside. Although our family doesn't want him to have any money, as long as Wanyu likes him, that's fine. But he should have basic manners, right?"
This opening seemed to have set off some kind of explosive, and dissatisfaction was overwhelming. The other relatives also frowned, feeling offended by this attitude.
Wei Xi's second uncle said, "The Zhao family is not short of money, but people have to stay. Even if the child will take our surname, at least they have to accompany Wanyu, right?"
As soon as one person finished speaking, the next person followed up. For a moment, the crowd was very excited. This change actually scared some of the children.
"He is just a country boy. Even if he has a talent for foundation building, he is not as good as us. Besides, it is better for him to stay here than to go back to Zhoudi. With Wanyu's care, he may be able to become a Jindan Zhenren in the future."
"That's right. If he doesn't stay, does he want Wanyu to go with him? That's just wishful thinking. What is Wanyu's status? What is his status?"
"He is just trying to climb the social ladder, why is he putting on airs?"
Mr. Zhao's mouth twitched slightly, and he quickly interrupted, "Okay, shut up, this is Wanyu's business, it's not your turn to interrupt."
He even asked about his status. He was a living immortal, and the entire immortal world had to look up to him. All the national guardians in Shenzhou, including the well-known and powerful ones, bowed down and saluted when they saw the immortal.
If he continued to talk like this, he was afraid that the thousand-year-old inheritance would be cut off in his generation.
If the immortal did not want to reveal his true identity and local government officials tacitly helped to cover up, Mr. Zhao would have wanted to jump up and cheer now, and even do some vigorous dance like the young people.
"Dad, why are you helping outsiders?" Zhao Zong said with some dissatisfaction: "I have to discuss it with his parents later. We don't have to marry into his family or take his surname, but at least he has to stay in Qin."
Wei Xi kept his eyes closed from beginning to end, without expressing any opinions, as if he was staying out of the matter.
As long as these people are not really rude, some normal complaints are fine. To be honest, her husband's attitude sometimes makes Wei Xi very unhappy, especially his dead pig fearless look, she really wants to give him two punches.
