Obligations of the elderly

"To see your sister, wouldn't it be a bit...inappropriate for us to bring those things to her?" Gong Si nodded when thinking about the pile of "gifts" in the rear compartment.

"It's nothing inappropriate, she usually likes these the most." With a smile on the corner of her mouth, Xiliu said with confidence.

Gongsi thought about what is in the rear compartment now: all kinds of popular snacks on the Internet, the same style of clothes as Internet celebrities, and a lot of priced cosmetic masks...all of them add up to be spectacular, yes, but it is not much money, the old lady usually ... do you like these the most?Gongsi remained skeptical.

Then, the stream said lightly:

"I emptied her shopping cart and everything in it was what she put in her own shopping cart."

Gong Si's heart suddenly stabilized ← Even he understood the weight of this sentence: No matter what era, emptying her shopping cart is always a woman's biggest dream.

In short, there is no problem, Gong Si was completely relaxed, but he did not forget to tell: "Is it paid with my manuscript fee? I don't know if it is enough. If it is not enough, you will pay in advance. Next month Deducted from my royalties."

Now Gongsi has no time to work, but he is not completely without income: he not only contributes to the poetry magazine of this college, but also contributes to poetry magazines outside. He simply handed over his card to Xiliu, he didn't ask how much he and his younger brothers would spend on accommodation and living expenses at Xiliu's house, it must be a lot, so he simply handed in the whole card, so that he could live more comfortably, Palace Father Palace The way that the mother uses the user's money for food and clothing, and saves her own money for the son... the palace really can't do it.

"Don't worry, it's enough. This time the gift is given by the two of us together. Each person pays half of the money, which is enough." Xiliu said to him.

Gong Si was completely relieved.

"Which way do you want to go next? Uphill? The navigation is not very clear, please help me find out—" Xiliu continued.

Gong Si quickly grabbed the phone and began to study the navigation seriously.

This time they took the aircraft to Higashi Shingu City, and then drove after arriving in Higashi Shingu City.

Since Xiliu has no business in the local area, he directly bought a new car in the local area in advance, and all the packages were sent to the car company, and the staff there directly helped them put the packages into the trunk, so that when they arrived, You can go directly by car. When you come out of Nishijiu Palace City, the two of you will bring basic luggage, which can be said to be light and simple.

Both of them had just received their driver's licenses: Xiliu had a driver's license before, but he had been taking his driver's license for too long, and the traffic regulations had changed a lot, so he simply relearned it with Gong Si, neither of them is stupid, In addition, there is a car at home, and the two of them usually practice in the yard when they have nothing to do. They took the driver's license test on the weekend two days ago, and just got the hot driver's license the day before yesterday.

At the beginning, Xiliu opened the palace to assist, but later, the palace was eager to try, and the two exchanged. At first, Xiliu was still on the side to give pointers. Later, he found that the palace was really open, and he was still at the side. I slept for a while.

Gong Si is a person who is used to being a big brother. Although he is still a novice, he can't bear to call him when he sees the stream sleeping soundly. It is already early summer, and the air conditioner in the car is a bit cold. A little so that the stream can sleep more peacefully.

Then, he drove with trepidation by himself.

They picked up the car at the Higashishingu Railway Station, and then drove directly from the train station all the way, walking on the fancy viaduct in Higashishingu City. The scenery they saw on the subway is now driving, and the two seem to have similarities. It's different, but Gongsi still has the energy to take a look when Xiliu is driving. After Xiliu falls asleep, he concentrates on driving and has no time to pay attention to the surrounding scenery. He just keeps driving according to the navigation. I don't know when, They went from the sky (the viaduct) to the ground, the skyscrapers on the side of the road disappeared, and even the crowds disappeared, the surrounding trees became more and more lush, the road gradually narrowed, and the palace found itself driving into the countryside? !

The more he drove, the more he felt that something was wrong. Gong Si couldn't help it anymore. He stopped the car. He took off the mobile phone responsible for navigation and studied it carefully. He made sure that he was still driving on the road set before the stream. That's right. He breathed a sigh of relief, but it didn't matter if he didn't look at it. After looking at it, he realized that he had already driven more than 300 kilometers away from the train station in Higashishingu City!

Are you really right?Gong Si began to doubt himself.

But... looking at the sleeping stream, Gong Si was not willing to wake him up after all.

In short, let's continue driving first, fix the navigation again, and buy some food at the self-service supermarket on the side of the road. Gongsi simply drank some coffee and continued to drive conscientiously.

He later found out that this was an extremely wise decision, because if he continued to drive, there would be no convenience stores around, it would be a wilderness!

What's more, the sky is getting later and later. I don't know if it's because of the remoteness, the signal of the mobile phone is getting worse and worse, the navigation is broken, and the next journey can only be done while looking at the offline map.

It was at this time that the stream faintly woke up.

"Ah! It's getting dark." These were the first words someone said after waking up.

"I'm so thirsty, is there any water?" This is the second sentence.

Gong Si angrily handed him the shopping bag that had been stored for almost a day, and took out a few bottles of drinks from it. After choosing among mineral water, fruit juice and coffee for a long time, Xiliu finally took a bottle of fruit juice. He drank happily.

"Have you finished drinking? After drinking, you should quickly look at the map. There is no signal here. I can only walk while looking at the map. This place is so remote, I don't know if I made a mistake..." Gong Si said at the same time , while turning on the lights in the car.

"If there is no signal, it means that you are not going wrong. There is no signal here." Xiliu said, but still picked up the navigation and glanced: "Nowadays, most places in the world have signal. If you want to have no signal, you will not easy."

This is true—although Gong Si didn't say anything, she agreed in her heart.

In short, after Xiliu woke up and was sure, he felt at ease, and then the two exchanged places, Xiliu drove, and Gong Si sat in the passenger seat. Xiliu originally wanted him to sleep for a while, but Gongsi is not as good as Xiliu. They are big-hearted, ignorant, and there are only the two of them, Gongsi is still watching the road vigilantly.

But he soon felt relieved——

Although the roadside was still dark, they gradually encountered a convoy. It was not ordinary people, but a convoy of luxury cars was blocking the road. After careful inspection, they found that they were actually heading back.

"What's going on here?" Because there were too many cars like this, their car was almost stuck so they couldn't move, and they parked on the side of the road, Gong Si scratched his head and looked out.

"It's such a big fight to come to the coming-of-age ceremony, hehe, that guy from Sheyun won't allow other people to have such a big fight on his own territory, he must be ordered to drive back!" Xiliu said leisurely beside him, He was not impatient, and he was not in a hurry when he was stuck on the side of the road. He even took the opportunity to open the bag and eat something, as if he was out for a picnic.

Gongsi was not as distracted as he was, and still looked out with his head scratched. After observing for a while, he found that what Xiliu said was true. It was true that the young master and lady escorted by the entire convoy were ordered to return the extra vehicles. Individuals can only keep one car at most. Those who can drive will drive themselves, and those who can't drive will keep the ones who can drive. However, they have to leave after sending them to the designated place.

You have to ask why Gong Si knows so clearly?There is a sign in front, and it is clearly written on the sign!

"It's a good thing you figured out the rules in advance, no wonder you don't want to thank you for driving, you planned to drive here in advance." Gong Si said.

Unexpectedly, Xiliu shrugged: "I haven't participated in the coming-of-age ceremony here, so how do I know their rules? It's just an inference based on Sheyun's personality. It's a show in front of you."

Palace Si: ...

I always feel that the old lady is more vivid in his heart, what should I do?

The next road is still very dark, there is not even a street light on the side of the road, but fortunately there is a convoy in front of them, of course it is not the convoy used by various escorts, but the young people of the Ji family who came to participate in the coming-of-age ceremony, each of them consists of a car The roads along the way were not spacious, so the cars lined up neatly and drove on the road at a constant speed. Gong Si's cars were placed at the back of the team, and the number of cars behind them was limited, but the number of cars in front was countless.

There was a small episode on the way. The convoy stopped again and didn’t move forward for a long time. Finally, I realized that there was a car accident in front. A girl drove the car and hit the car in front. Both cars failed to land and were hit. The car fell directly into the lake next to it, and the car that hit the person had its entire front turned up, completely misfiring—no way, the people who came here drove better cars, and each car was stronger than the other. It's really hard to hit.

The person who was hit crawled out of the lake wet, the car was useless, but luckily he was fine.The popularity of that person seems to be very good. Not only did someone help him find him, but when he came up, someone handed him towels and clothes, and finally someone offered to ask him to take a ride in his own car. Going back, the girl who caused the accident was stuck in the middle of the road. Seeing her broken car blocking the road behind made everyone unhappy, the girl finally got out of the car with great courage and pushed hard , "Bada"... She also pushed her car into the nearby lake.

The car behind was able to go together.

Gong Si, who was at the back of the line, didn't know these things at first, but——

One of the victims—the girl who caused the accident is now in their car, and it was this girl who told them everything that happened.

As for why she appeared in their car... Isn't it because she pushed her car into the lake?

"I pushed the car into the lake, thinking that the person before me was already picked up, so it shouldn't be difficult for me to find someone to pick up, right? Who knows I stood on the side of the road saying hello for a long time, but no one stopped. Fortunately, you finally Stop and let me come up." Sitting in the back seat, the girl said gratefully to the two.

This is a tall girl, Qi Liuhai's long hair is tied with double ponytails, the hair is not black, it can be of any color, it is only early summer, so she put on a very slim hot pants and shorts, below A pair of high boots, how can I say it looks... like a non-mainstream high school girl, kind of bad.

It turns out that your family also has this type—Gong Si communicated with the stream with his eyes.

"Whose family are you a child?" Xiliu asked her with a smile like an elder.

"I am a branch of the branch of the Ji family... a child of the family. My name is Chihu Ji. You can call me Chihu." His personality looks pretty good, he is straightforward and outspoken.

"Actually, the main reason I came here is to have a big meal. My grandfather said that every year the coming-of-age ceremony here in the mansion will entertain everyone to live in the palace for a big meal, which is luxurious! Didn't I just want to travel and just have no money? I took this as a trip, so I drove here when I received the invitation letter, alas, my car is a second-hand car I bought with my part-time job money, and it can't compare to the good cars of you young masters."

"However, that person didn't ask me to pay for the car. Hehe, it really is the young master. Isn't he short of money?"

It's like Marlon No. 2, the girl obviously has only one person, but she can still chatter and chatter all by herself, and she confesses her old background in a few words, and when they drive to the destination, they have already Even the name of the girl's great-grandfather is known to everyone.

The Chihu girl just chirped and chirped all the way until their car stopped in front of a red gate.

It was a very tall and big door, scarlet red, with no words written on it, but everyone knew that this was Ji's house——

The color of the Ji family is red.

There had been attendants standing in front of the door waiting for them, and the leader was responsible for checking the invitation letters on their bodies. After confirming the invitation letters, they were asked to sit in the car and wait until the last person's invitation was checked. Letter, this is the release.

When the huge door opened, it was really spectacular. The huge red door opened and turned into a full moon, and the scenery behind it was even more amazing. It was actually a mountain, and the antique pavilions were built there according to the mountain. Thinking of it That is the legendary Ji family's palace. All the young people look yearning even when they are sitting in the car.

When the last car passed by, the red door closed again heavily and slowly.

The young people of the Ji family lined up again and drove forward. Some of them have been to the palace in front of them, and some have not, but it doesn't matter if they haven't been, their elders will tell them about the palace. The luxury of the palace, Ji’s Palace is one of the three most complete imperial palaces at present, and it is also the most luxurious and most exquisite one. It takes at least 12 days to visit all the palaces, and none of them has completed this tour. plan.

Thinking that this coming-of-age ceremony might have a chance to visit that palace, and maybe they will live there this time, everyone was excited.

Including the girl in Gongsi's car.

"I heard that the bricks over there are all made of gold! Damn, if you knock out a piece, you'll get rich!" The Ji family girl with smoky makeup said excitedly.

This should be regarded as a crime of destroying cultural relics—Gongsi was thinking this way, and the stream was already talking:

"It's not made of gold, it's just a special kind of wood that has been burnt by a fire-type ability user and turned it into gold. It's very light and durable."

"Wow! Have you seen it? You know it so well, you must have seen it, maybe you touched it, right?" Chihu said enviously.

Pursing his lips slightly, Xiliu didn't speak.

Turning to look at Gong Si: "We probably won't go there this time, the address of the invitation is not there, I've seen it before."

"Huh?" Gong Si frowned, and he observed carefully for the next time, and found that although they were going uphill, there was nothing wrong with it, but the palace in front was always in front of their eyes or on their side, and they didn't get close to it. etc……

Are they climbing another mountain?

Facts proved that Gongsi's observation was not wrong, they continued to move forward, and honestly said along the way: It is really difficult to walk, this road is like a road that has just been opened, narrow and uneven, but the shiny The palace is always where they can see it, and with it as an incentive, the teenagers don't think the road is bad at all, they just speed up and drive until the car leading the team stops, and the teenagers get out of the car one after another, watching Surrounded by an environment where birds don't lay eggs, everyone looks dumbfounded.

"What place is this? The top of the mountain? Isn't the palace on the opposite side? Why didn't you take us to the opposite side?" Chihu also got down from the back seat, with the same ignorance on her face. She looked across and found the beautiful Lunmei Huan's palace complex is now opposite them, but now they are on the top of another mountain.

It is incomparable to the opposite side. The mountain they are standing on now is a wild mountain, surrounded by overgrown grass, which barely looks like a flat roof. It was made improvised by someone in the past few days. The work was not meticulous and very rough.

Looking carefully at the road they took when they came, it was just as rough.

Now they are already at the top of the mountain, there is no road ahead, young people look at me, I look at you, and finally look at the car leading the team——

"Don't look at me, I'm also here to attend the coming-of-age ceremony. The person below told me to keep driving and stop when there is no road. Isn't that right here?" There was also a girl sitting there, who should be the other half of the contract with him.

"What is this going to do? Is the coming-of-age ceremony going to start here?"

"Do you want us to sleep here?"

"Sleeping here should not be possible. I see that the opposite is the Xingong. The view is so good. Look carefully. This side is higher than the mountain in the Xingong. You can look down on the Xingong... Could it be that the Xingong is preparing for it?" What program do you want us to watch here?"

……

There was a lot of discussion among the people, and some people even thought of the possibility of "watching the show".

It's not impossible—everyone made up their minds, and finally got out of the car one after another, stood on the top of the mountain, and started to look at Ji Gong on the opposite side.

The waiting process was long. The young people were idle and bored, and they recognized each other. There were many direct children and many collateral ones. Someone chatted about the presents they had brought.

Even those who came to participate in the coming-of-age ceremony, everyone still prepared their own gifts, which were basically very expensive. After all, this coming-of-age ceremony was held by Ji Yun Ji, the current head of the Ji family, and it was held by this age. Status and preferences, everyone prepared gifts in the same direction. Rich people prepared rare and exquisite works of art, while poor people also prepared the most expensive gifts within their ability.

Gongsi and Xiliu were also standing in the crowd, and they were also "recognized as relatives", but they had Chihu Ji on their side, so there was no need for the two of them to talk, and others quickly regarded them as being with Chihu Ji. The super side branch who came with Ji was even more speechless when he asked about the gifts they had prepared.

They have prepared so many snacks... They think that the coming-of-age ceremony is to get acquainted with other peers, eat snacks together and get emotional?

The point is Master Sheyun Ji!If you want to show yourself in front of her old man, if you can make her old man look up to you, then your branch will have a way out in the family from now on!

There was so little competition this side of the stream, and soon no one was coming to talk to them.

Instead, a familiar person came over——

"Peiyun Ji?" Gong Si read out the person's name.

He was not with anyone. Peiyun Ji came here alone. His status in the clan was obviously unusual. Everyone seemed to recognize him. As soon as he came, many eyes followed him. People have been ignored all the time, and there is no one around them, but now that Peiyun Ji comes over, even if he wants to approach temporarily, he is embarrassed.

"Your wish can be fulfilled." Pei Yunji was inexplicable when she came over and said.

Gong Si raised her eyebrows and looked at him, while Xi Liu maintained her original expression with a smile on her face, as if she didn't understand what Pei Yunji was saying at all.

"Ah! It's the person I hit—" Chihu Ji shouted, pointing at Peiyun Ji's name.

Well... so it turned out that you bumped into this master, no wonder he had some people to pick you up and no one to pick you up—Gong Si completely understood.

"Grandma and the clan elders said that they would pass on the position of the next Patriarch to you. The clan elders originally disagreed, but you made such a big noise a while ago." Peiyun Ji said, and suddenly looked at Gong Si: "Zhu Rong is yours now, and now, no one in the family is your opponent, and the entire Ji family is yours."

"The clan elders are having a meeting with grandma. Before, it was grandma who begged them to let you come back. Hehe, this time it should be replaced by them begging grandma."

"It's what you said. I didn't think so. I said that I would not take a step into the new palace. Naturally, I would not want the position of the Patriarch. You are thinking too much." Looking at Pei Yun Ji, Xiliu smiled.

"Your current strength is here. Even if you don't want it, someone will want you to sit on it. Hehe, I just hate myself for not being able to live up to it. There is no way I can be better than you. That's why I want my illegitimate son to sit as the head of the Ji family... ..."

After Peiyun Ji finished speaking, there was a sneer on his face, and he was about to say something, when suddenly——

A flash of fire flashed across the palace on the top of the mountain, followed by a "bang", and in front of everyone, the beautiful palace on the opposite side exploded instantly.

etc--

exploded? !

Standing on the top of Shaofeng in the cool summer night, the Ji family boy who was waiting to watch the show was stunned.
