Protagonist:
Yan Qianqian
Everyone else had long grown accustomed to her behavior, so naturally no one would nitpick her.
Time passed bit by bit, and seeing that the dishes on the table were nearly all served, Bai Yun Lan then sauntered in late.
At this moment, Bai Yun Lan's hair was neatly combed, no longer disheveled as before.
He had also changed into a clean, neat black robe, making him look refreshed overall. Especially his pair of eyes, bright and spirited, as if they could see through everything.
It must be said, Bai Yun Lan's appearance indeed took after Wei Shengsheng, with a touch of boyish charm.
However, this appearance not only did not make him seem effeminate, but instead added a unique charm. It could be said that his looks were still quite outstanding.
Bai Yun Lan walked to his seat and sat down unhurriedly. Just then, Bai Yu finally spoke slowly: "Since everyone is here, let me introduce them to you all."
After speaking, he stretched out a hand and pointed toward Qianqian's direction, then introduced: "This is the child of An Wang of Great Chang, Yan Qianqian and Yan Jie."
Hearing Bai Yu's introduction, Qianqian behaved very generously and properly; she spoke first: "Hello, Elder Brothers." Her voice was clear and pleasant, like an oriole leaving the valley.
Yan Jie, seeing this, also quickly shouted: "Hello, Elder Brothers."
Bai Yu was obviously very satisfied with Qianqian and Yan Jie's performance; he smiled and nodded, then pointed his finger at two others, continuing to introduce: "This is the eldest son of the eldest branch, Bai Yunzheng, who is already sixteen this year, a bit older than the two of you."
Hearing this, Bai Yunzheng politely looked at Qianqian and Yan Jie, smiling: "Hello, Younger Sister Qianqian, hello, Younger Brother Yan Jie."
His tone was gentle, making people feel like basking in a spring breeze. Qianqian and Yan Jie also politely nodded at Bai Yunzheng in response.
Bai Yu smiled, pointing with his hand at Bai Yun Lan sitting beside, introducing to everyone: "This is the son of the second branch, Bai Yun Lan, fourteen years old this year, older than the two of you."
As soon as Bai Yu finished speaking, Bai Yun Lan politely greeted Qianqian and Yan Jie: "Hello, Younger Sister Qianqian, hello, Younger Brother Yan Jie, nice to meet you, let's play together if we get the chance!"
Seeing this, Qianqian also hurriedly responded: "Okay!"
At this moment, Wei Shengsheng secretly rejoiced in her heart, thinking: "This kid has a sweet mouth, just like his father, knows how to talk, really not bad!"
After both sides had greeted each other, Bai Yu spoke again: "Yunzheng, Yun Lan, you might also be curious: the people of Shenyi Gu have always lived in seclusion and rarely contact the outside world, so why did they invite the two of them to be guests at Shenyi Gu this time?"
Yunzheng was eating attentively; hearing Bai Yu's words, he nodded slightly to show he was listening, cooperating with Bai Yu.
However, Bai Yun Lan beside him seemed rather unrestrained. He crossed his legs, still chewing food in his mouth, and asked without restraint: "So what's the reason after all?"
Seeing this, Bai Yu did not mind Bai Yun Lan's improper behavior, continuing to explain: "Because Yan Jie is not An Wang's biological child; he is very likely your aunt's only bloodline in this world."
"What?!" Bai Yun Lan was so surprised he almost spat out the food in his mouth; he stared wide-eyed and shouted in disbelief, "That's explosive?!" However, just then, Wei Shengsheng mercilessly scolded: "Shut up! Listen obediently, don't interrupt!"
Bai Yunzheng was obviously startled by Wei Shengsheng's reprimand, his face showing a surprised expression, but seeing his own mother's look of disdain, he just silently closed his mouth.
Bai Yu seemed long accustomed to Wei Shengsheng often scolding her own son; he continued to speak calmly, detailing the causes and consequences of the matter.
Finally, he mentioned that they would set out tomorrow for An Wang's residence in Dachang Kingdom to learn the specific situation.
Hearing this, Bai Yunzheng hurriedly said: "Alright, Grandfather, rest assured. During these few days when you are away, we will definitely behave ourselves and absolutely not cause any trouble."
Bai Yun Lan, however, interrupted excitedly beside him: "Then Grandfather, can I also go along?" His eyes sparkled with anticipation, obviously full of interest in this trip.
Bai Yu looked at his two grandsons and smiled: "Yun Lan can go if he wants; anyway, it doesn't matter without one of you. As for Yunzheng, if you also want to go, you can go together."
Hearing this, Bai Yun Lan immediately cheered: "Great, Grandfather! I can go!" He was so happy he danced with joy, as if he could hardly wait to set out on the journey.
Bai Yunzheng, on the other hand, behaved relatively steadily; after thinking for a moment, he said: "Since Father is also going, then this vast Shenyi Gu would be left for Mother to manage alone; Mother would be too hard-pressed. Grandson will stay behind to help, so Mother can relax a bit."
Hearing the eldest grandson's words, Bai Yu nodded with satisfaction, secretly thinking in his heart: This eldest grandson is so steady and sensible; entrusting the position of Shenyi Gu's Valley Master to him in the future should be no problem.
As for the eldest son, he was obsessed with pill refining to the extreme, burying himself in the pill furnace all day, with little interest in other matters. The eldest daughter-in-law, however, was completely different from him.
Although the eldest daughter-in-law's talent for pill refining was not as high as her own son's, she was an extremely capable person; whatever was entrusted to her, she could handle in an orderly manner, beyond reproach.
And the eldest grandson was even more the blue surpassing the indigo; he not only perfectly inherited his father's pill refining skills, but also inherited his mother's steadiness and reliability.
It could be said that he was simply the best candidate for Shenyi Gu's Valley Master, and in the future he would surely shine in the medical field.
In comparison, the second branch's family seemed rather unconventional. They had too few schemes and calculations, living very freely and unrestrainedly.
Bai Yu had always doted especially on the second branch's family and was more tolerant of their behavior, basically letting them do whatever they wanted, never interfering too much.
Although the second grandson did not have his elder brother's talent for pill refining, he took his elder brother as a role model and was determined to learn pill refining well. Bai Yu also expressed understanding and support for this; if one day the second grandson decided to give up, he would absolutely not blame him.
Bai Yu smiled and said: "Mm, everyone eat quickly. Qianqian, try this fish; this is fish raised by ourselves here, much more delicious than fish from outside!"
Hearing this, Qianqian picked up a chopstick of fish and put it in her mouth; after chewing carefully, she nodded with satisfaction and said: "Indeed tastier than outside!" After speaking, she did not forget to also pick up a mouthful for Yan Jie sitting beside her.
