Chapter 112: Two Xiao Family
If you ask a survey engineer from a large company to point out a tree pit, only a wealthy lady like Xiao Ruobing can think of this idea. Since Party A has given instructions, she can only do it. Who can make me the identity of Party B now?
However, this reminded Ji Wenyu of another idea. Since the trees in the villa are about to be replaced, why not take advantage of this opportunity to change the layout of the entire yard and lay it into a formation that gathers the dual effects of spiritual energy and conceals and traces?
The hidden mystery array has the effect of defending and hiding whereabouts. It is easier to arrange the formation without gathering spirits. In fact, the Qimen Dunjia passed down from the world are simple versions of the hidden mystery array, and even some ordinary people can set it up.
It is not very difficult for Ji Wenyu to arrange a hidden mystery formation. The difficulty is to integrate the two functions into one formation. As long as it can be successfully arranged this time, his attainment in the formation will be greatly improved, and the information left by General Lei will basically be mastered.
Thinking of this, Ji Wenyu asked, "Are you going to let me arrange the spirit gathering array here?"
Xiao Ruobing nodded and said, "Yes, this is a villa my aunt just bought and said she wanted to give it to me. But I don't dare to ask for it. I just accept such a valuable gift. My family won't spare me easily, but it's okay to stay for a while."
Ji Wenyu couldn't help but be amazed and said, "The world of rich people is indeed not something that we poor people can imagine. We work hard and work hard in our lives and cannot buy a small house. People have such a big villa and say they will give it to others."
Hearing Ji Wenyu's sour words, Xiao Ruobing glared at him and said, "What are you talking about? I'm a poor man too, okay? Or should I lend this villa to you too?"
Ji Wenyu waved his hand quickly and said, "Forget it, I am a poor worker and I can't afford such an expensive house. Not to mention anything else, I can't afford the monthly property and water and electricity bills."
The two chatted casually for a few more words, and then Xiao Ruobing took Ji Wenyu to look around the villa, and talked about the trees to be replaced this time and the trees to be replanted. Ji Wenyu seemed to consider the terrain in the yard, and calculated the materials and trees needed to be used to arrange their formation, and asked Xiao Ruobing to arrange for someone to prepare.
As long as Xiao Ruobing ordered such chores, someone else would do it. While waiting, Ji Wenyu suddenly remembered the Xiao Ruoqiang he met in the underground boxing gym a few days ago, and asked, "Ruobing, do you recognize a person named Xiao Ruoqiang?"
Xiao Ruobing frowned and thought for a while, saying, "It sounds familiar, but I can't remember that there are so many people in the world with Xiao surnames, how could I know them all?"
"I think your names are similar, so I thought it would be related. I heard that he came from the Xiao family in Guangnan." Ji Wenyu said.
Xiao Ruobing was a little confused at first. When Ji Wenyu talked about the Xiao family in Guangnan, she seemed to remember something, and her face changed and said, "It's the Xiao family in Guangnan? No wonder it sounds so familiar. How could you know the Xiao family in Guangnan? The Xiao family in Guangnan came to Shangdu City?"
Ji Wenyu said: "A few days ago, I met a young man named Xiao Ruoqiang in an underground black fist tube. At that time, he was with a little businessman with a little martial arts foundation. Later, he seemed to want to win me over, but in the end I refused. He heard that he was from the Xiao family in Guangnan."
After hearing Ji Wenyu say this, Xiao Ruobing's face couldn't help but feel a little cold, and she said, "Hmph, I've dug up here, and I really underestimated their Guangnan Xiao family."
Xiao Ruobing seemed to have no good feelings for the Xiao family in Guangnan? Ji Wenyu couldn't help but wonder. Both of them were surnamed Xiao, and they might have been a family five hundred years ago. How do you think that the two families looked very unfavorable? Ji Wenyu asked, "Do you two have a grudge?"
Xiao Ruobing sneered, "There is a grudge? How could we have grudges when we are both surnamed Xiao? Not only did our two families not have grudges, but they were still one of them two hundred years ago."
Not only are there no hatred, but it is also a family? So Xiao Ruoqiang and Xiao Ruobing are both from the same family. No wonder their names are so similar. Maybe they all come from the same family tree. Why are the relationships between the two Xiao families who are from the same lineage so bad now?
Ji Wenyu wanted to ask the reason, but after careful consideration, he still didn't ask. That day, Chen Biwang said that the Xiao family in Guangnan is the richest man in Guangnan, with a huge family power, and Xiao Ruobing heard that the background is also extremely deep. It seems a bit inappropriate to find out the secrets of the grievances between the two families, as an outsider.
Looking at Ji Wenyu's eagerness to speak but stop, Xiao Ruobing said, "You want to ask why you are so fucking like this, right?"
Ji Wenyu had nothing to hide when the other party took the initiative to mention this topic, so he nodded and showed a very expectant expression.
Xiao Ruobing said: "Actually, there is nothing to hide. Many major forces are more clear about the grievances between the Xiao family in Guangnan and our Beidu Xiao family, so it's okay to tell you."
Xiao Ruobing paused for a moment, organized the language, and then said, "Our Xiao family was from the countryside of Nandu. It was originally just an unknown small family. It was not until two hundred years ago that they had two brothers. As a result, these two brothers, because of uneven family divisions, had to fight for a ancestral home, and eventually turned against each other. The two brothers gradually developed into two branches. The eldest branch moved to Beidu, mainly in politics, the Xiao family in Beidu where I live. The second branch moved to Guangnan, mainly doing business, and the Xiao family in Guangnan now."
When Ji Wenyu heard Xiao Ruobing say this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly. He had just dealt with Duan Yonggui who was fighting for family property the night before yesterday. Unexpectedly, he met another family that was defeated because of uneven divisions. This kind of thing was really uncommon.
However, the Xiao family is also powerful. The business branch has developed into the richest man in Guangnan. The political branch cannot be underestimated. It can be judged by Xiao Ruobing's background. It is really awesome. The village in my hometown is Ji, and an ancestor has grown to more than 300 people, but even a millionaire or a town cadre has never appeared.
Ji Wenyu said: "Even if there was a grudge in the past, now so many years have passed, we should have a smile to eliminate the grudges, right? What we fought for at the beginning was just an ancestral home. Now your two families have such a great influence, and the Xiao family in Guangnan is the richest man in a province. What kind of ancestral home do you care about?"
Xiao Ruobing shook his head and said with a wry smile: "No, not only did he not forget his grudges, but he fought harder. At that time, neither of the two brothers conquered each other, so they sealed their ancestral homes and agreed to each other that the two families would send young disciples to compete every thirty years. If any one wins, they could send people to live in the ancestral homes for a while, so they have not yet fought for it."
