The Mặc family, in the magnificent living room filled with ancient breath, the Mặc family is a large family with a lineage of more than 1,000 years. In the middle of the living room is the head of the family, on both sides are two rows of tables and chairs for guests and family members.Sitting in the position of the head of the family is the head of the Mặc family - Mặc Diệc Phi. Looking at his age, he is about thirty years old, with a handsome face, wearing a blue robe, exuding a deep aura. Sitting under the chair on the right row is a beautiful lady, as beautiful as a flower. At first glance, she is about twenty years old. Next to the woman is a seven-year-old boy, his eyebrows are like a painting, wearing wearing a purple outfit, sitting neatly. Even though she is young, when she looks at her, she feels cold and indifferent, without the innocent and lively appearance of a child.
From the yard, a man walked into the living room with a little girl.
"I haven't seen you for a long time."
Mặc Diệc Phi quickly stood up from the chair and walked down with a cheerful smile.
"It's you, long time no see you. The wearer looked at the man's side. "Whoa, is this your daughter? Already this big? Come and let me have a look. "How old is the child this year?" The next sentence is for girls.
The baby girl was afraid of the man's aura in front of her, so she hid behind her father, only poking her head out. A pair of big, round eyes filled with tears mixed with timidity, but filled with curiosity, assessed the man. She assessed her surroundings, and when she saw the beautiful lady, her eyes seemed to shine and fill with wonder. Her eyes were on the lady for a few seconds. She looked at the lady next to her, a male child, and at the same time, the male child also looked at her. She saw the boy's eyes looking at her clearly, without any emotional fluctuations at all. She suddenly blushed and quickly bowed her head and hid behind the man.
"Nhu Nhi, come here and greet my uncle. This is your uncle Mặc Diệc Phi's family head, that is your uncle's wife, and that is your uncle Mặc Uyên."
The man pulled Vân Nhu out to introduce himself and then continued, "Brother Mặc, this is my daughter, her name is Vân Nhu, she is five years old this year."
Vân Nhu was pulled away, his eyes were still dreamy, he bowed his head and said, "Vân Nhu greets uncle, aunt, brother Mặc Uyên".
"Ha ha ha ha, good good good, good baby, come sit here, Vân" Mặc Diệc Phi said with a satisfied laugh, pulling Vân Thiên Khải to sit in the left row, Vân Nhu sitting next to his father.
After sitting in the chair, the two men laughed and talked non-stop, asked about each other, and confided in each other like friends who had not seen each other for a long time. Vân Nhu sat next to her and didn't hear a word. She occasionally raised her head to peek at Mặc Uyên and then bowed her head shyly.
"Brother Mặc, I came here today because of Vân Nhu. This year the child is five years old and can start practicing. I want to send her here for a while so she can practice." , I hope brother Mặc will take care of it." Vân Thiên Khải clasped his hands and bowed his head sincerely. The Mặc family is currently the number one family of the Xuanwu Empire. To be good for Vân Nhu, he can only leave Vân Nhu here. His daughter is still young, and he cannot bear to leave his precious daughter, but Leaving his daughter in the Mặc family, he felt very secure.
"Ha ha ha, Vân, you don't need to be polite. Nhu Nhi is your daughter, I also consider her my daughter, just leave her here, let her practice with Mặc Uyên."
"Yes, Vân, just leave her here, I will take good care of her." Mrs. My also followed Mac Diệc Phi's words and smiled gently. She waved at Vân Nhu, "Come here Nhu Nhi, come here with your auntie." In my heart, I secretly thought that this beautiful little girl was Vân Thiên Khải's daughter. Even though the Vân family was the smallest of the six great families, it was still a good match for Uyên Nhi. If only the two of them could become friends. How good is a couple? It's also good to create opportunities for two children to stay close to each other to foster their affection from a young age. Thinking of this, her smile became even more gentle and beautiful, looking at Vân Nhu even more pleasing.
Vân Nhu approached the beautiful lady and called out "Auntie", then looked at Mặc Uyên and smiled and called "brother". Mặc Uyên looked at the beautiful, radiant girl in front of her and replied, "Little sister Vân Nhu."
After Vân Thiên Khải sent his baby daughter to the Mặc family, he gave Vân Nhu a few words, then said goodbye.
Vân Nhu did not know that, starting from the day she set foot in the Mặc family, her destiny was tied to Mặc Uyên. Of course that's a story for later.
"Where are people?" Mặc Diệc Phi called out. A butler came in from outside and bowed his head and said, "What can I do for you?" The man looked at the butler and instructed, "This is Vân Nhu, the daughter of the Vân family head of the Van family in Vân citadel, from now on, she will be here for a while". You take her to the west building to rest.
"Yes, my lord," the butler bowed to the man, then turned around and Vân Nhu bowed his head and said, "Miss Vân Nhu, please follow this slave and lead the way, young lady." Vân Nhu nodded to her uncle, aunt and Mặc Uyên, then followed the butler to the West of the Villa.
The head of the Mặc family watched as Vân Nhu's figure disappeared and then turned to his wife, asking "How do you feel about that little girl?" The wife smiled sweetly and replied "I'm very pleased with her. If she becomes our daughter-in-law in the future, that would be great. Uyên Nhi, what do you think?"
Mặc Uyên bowed her head in silence for a while before speaking up, "The little sister is very cute. As long as the parents like her, I like her."
Upon hearing this, both Mặc the family head and his wife burst out laughing. Mặc's wife patted Mặc Uyên on the head and said, "Uyên Nhi, you have to learn how to make your own choices and take responsibility for them. Don't force yourself to do things just because your parents want you to. Parents cannot always be by your side." She knew that her son has been different from other children since he was young. He never cried, never laughed, always cold and indifferent. She sighed and hugged Mặc Uyên, and the head of the family followed suit, hugging them both. The light from the outside shone in, adding a halo of glory. This moment seemed to slow down, and it was a perfect and warm family moment.
Western Villa (Mac family)
In a room, Vân Nhu was looking around and assessing the space. The room was very large, with a spacious bed, and adorned with a layer of silk curtains, along with a layer of precious stone curtains. When the curtains were pulled back, the sound of the stones clashing together could be heard, which was quite pleasing to the ear. Next to the bed was a screen painted with red plum blossoms, a dressing table with a copper mirror, a tea table in the middle of the room, and a potted plant flowering in the corner.
She approached the window, opened it, and there was a pond full of lotus flowers outside, with a willow tree leaning towards the door. The wind blew, and the willow branches gently brushed against the window, carrying the faint scent of lotus flowers into the room. The lotus flowers here were nurtured by spiritual energy, blooming all year round, and the fragrance of the flowers spread in all directions, giving a gentle and comfortable feeling when smelled.
As she closed her eyes, taking in the fresh air and the scent of flowers, there came a knocking sound from outside.
Knock, knock, knock!
"Miss, the maidservant is the new housekeeper, here to bring you lunch," a voice outside said, belonging to a young lady. Vân Nhu opened her eyes and looked towards the door. She then sat down at the tea table and said, "Come in."
A young maid, about fourteen years old, entered with a tray of food and bowed, saying, "Miss, please enjoy your meal." Vân Nhu looked at the maid and asked, "What is your name? How old are you?" Although the maid was a housekeeper, she was also considered a young and elegant lady, and she smiled as she answered, "My name is Tiểu Nha, I am fourteen years old, and I am an orphan who was sold to work as a servant in this household since I was young."
"Alright, Tiểu Nha, extend your hand and I'll give you this," she said, then pulled out a small golden bag from her spatial ring* and handed it to Little Nha.
(*Spatial ring: a type of ring with space inside, crafted by a Qi practitioner to store items, after binding blood with the owner, they can freely take items in and out.)
Tiểu Nha, seeing the golden bag placed in her hands, quickly shook her head and refused, "Miss, I can't accept this. I am a servant assigned to serve Miss and take care of her daily activities. I cannot accept something like this."
Vân Nhu glanced at her lazily and said, "Even if you don't accept it, you have to accept it. This is something I'm giving you. In the future, as long as you take good care of my daily life, there is no other task for you." Vân Nhu, only five years old, looked at her with innocent eyes, becoming even more adorable the longer one looked at her.
"Young mistress, servant...."
"Go outside."
"Servant...."
"I told you to go outside." Without waiting for Tiểu Nha to finish speaking, Vân Nhu interrupted and chased her away.
"Yes, in the future, the servant will definitely be loyal to the young mistress. The servant takes her leave!"
Looking at the closed door, Vân Nhu smiled and thought, "Father is right, if you want a good life, you must bribe people's hearts. For the lower class, money is the easiest thing to bribe people's hearts." Shaking her head not thinking anymore, she started eating. After finishing the meal, she called someone to bring the dishes and move away.
She went to the window, sat on the edge of the window, holding the book "Ten Thousand Years Of Cultivating Immortals" in her hand, reading attentively. Occasionally, a gentle breeze blew and swayed the willow branches, bringing the scent of flowers to her, and the strands of hair that fell in front of her face gently blew away. On the other side of the lake, all her moments were caught in the eyes of a little boy dressed in purple, standing there quietly looking at her.
