Since the night of "The wind blows the jade in the river", the Ye family has been crowded with people, and there have been endless people looking for the real person in Yufeng.

Zhou Jing would meet with all kinds of people every day and roughly understand the situation of the upper class in Ningtian Mansion.

As the Daxia Suijing, Ningtian Prefecture has a long history and many families. The powerful people living here are divided into several categories.

The first is a family of aristocratic families that lasted for hundreds of years. They had various high-ranking officials from their ancestors, and they were in power in different dynasties. They were extremely noble and extremely prominent. In the process of establishing the country by the Taizu of Daxia, these families sent elites from their families to make contributions. Taizu of Daxia naturally would not refuse to help. Therefore, the family members gained credit and continued after the dynasty changes. Most of the family children entered the court to serve as officials, and some were royal relatives, and they ruled the world together.

The second type is the founding nobles who followed the founding emperor of Daxia to conquer the world. This marquis and the uncle were under the guise of his ancestors, and there were also some officials in his family who were also prominent in their ranks.

The third category is some upstart families, most of which are new families that have been in power for a hundred years after some poor officials have been in power, and they have a certain status, and most of the heads of the family are officials of the current dynasty.

Ning Tian Prefect Zhao Xing'an is one of them. He did not come from a noble family. He was still a poor family several generations ago, but his ancestors were appointed as ministers. Only then did the family jump into the class and no longer be a sage. He passed the exam and became an official in the court, and gradually climbed to the position of Ning Tian Prefecture, which made the Zhao family prosper again.

However, most of the power of this type of upstart family depends on the head of the family, and the descendants are temporarily unacceptable. Once the head of the family loses its power, the family may soon decline. Compared with the stable family or founding nobles, there is still a big gap. Only by operating for a few generations, scattered branches and leaves, constantly having descendants to enter the court to become officials, accumulating family reputation, and gaining a foothold, can we gradually become a large family and undefeated family.

These three types of prominent families are the top-level powerful people in Ningtian Mansion. Although they live here, their power is not limited to the local area. In addition, Ningtian Mansion also has former court officials who retire and retire, cultural celebrities who are famous all over the world, etc. The situation is quite complicated, with a crouching tiger and hidden dragon.

One of the more special powerful people is the royal family living in Ningtian Mansion. Although they have the most prominent status, they are relatively low-key most of the time. They generally do not provoke others, and no one dares to provoke them. There are not many people who even curry favor with them. However, once they appear, no one dares to ignore them, which makes them feel a sense of detachment.

After Zhou Jing experienced it, he realized that this was a huge network of interests, which was like an invisible network for ordinary people, and it was impossible to get in touch with the grass-roots people, and it was unknown and unpredictable.

In contrast, a wealthy businessman like the Ye family is really not in the Ningtian Mansion.

The water here is very deep.

Fortunately, these wealthy families thought he was a master of the times, and they were impressed by his magical means, and they were eager and polite in their attitudes, and regarded him as a guest of honor.

Especially the wealthy families who successfully obtained elixirs, who experienced the magical effects of elixirs, were convinced and supported more and more.

Now, no one calls him Ling Fengzi anymore, thinking that calling him the name directly is not respectful enough, and now they directly respect him as Yu Feng Zhenren.

Zhou Jing has developed two new pill recipes in response to the needs of these wealthy families.

One is the cool pill. When the heat is hot, it will be cool and transparent from the inside out, and the whole body will be light and flexible. Although it is still spring now, Ningtian Prefecture is hot in summer, and the wealthy families are used to preparing early, so this kind of pill is very popular.

The other is the Longevity Pill, which can adjust the body of the elderly, become healthier and achieve the effect of prolonging life. This pill is the focus of wealthy families' purchases. However, Zhou Jing strictly controls the output and claims to the outside world that this pill is extremely difficult to refine, so it has a price but no market, which makes the major wealthy families look forward to it.

Moreover, Zhou Jing deliberately claimed that this longevity pill is just an introduction, a pill that can really greatly prolong life. It is called "Zifu Eternal Life Pill". One pill can prolong life for decades. It only requires rare medicinal materials in the world to be refined, and it takes a lot of effort and cannot be refined for the time being.

He knew the importance of expectations, so he took out this big pie to snatch the appetite of these wealthy families.

As for whether the "Purple Mansion Eternal Life Pill" exists... it doesn't matter whether you can refine it. As long as everyone is willing to believe it, it is true.

Unfortunately, we must maintain the image of a master. Otherwise, Zhou Jing really wanted to pick up his old career, with a "golden spear-in-the-never pill" and a "dragon and tiger jungle pill" coming out, which would be popular all over the world, so that these wealthy families could never be separated from it.

...

This day.

In the Ye family's reception hall, Zhou Jing was meeting with an elder of the Liu family, but this person was Liu Ping's father and specially brought his son to apologize.

In fact, this is the third time the Liu family has submitted a letter of worship for a visit, but Zhou Jing stayed in the door and tried to control the other party. It was not until today that he gave in and was willing to meet him.

The servant brought in a few boxes of gold, silver, jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and Liu Ping's father followed him with him.

Liu Ping's father looked quite low and did not dare to sit down. He stood at the main seat and bowed to Zhou Jing:

"A few days ago, Ping'er spoke indifferently and offended Master Yufeng. It was because I was incompetent in disciplinary action. Today, I brought my dog ​​son to visit Master, apologize for the matter that day, and prepared some fine gifts as apologies. I hope the Taoist priest will not be slandered. My Liu family admired Master for a long time and just wanted to make a good relationship with Master..."

He said a good word, full of pleasingness, and then turned around and shouted at Liu Ping:

"Ping'er, why don't you kneel down quickly and apologize to the Taoist priest?

With a plop, Liu Ping knelt down without hesitation, as if he was worshiping a god in the Taoist temple. He kowtowed the heads and said in panic:

"I don't know the immortal in front of me, and I have no eyes. I really know that I am wrong. I hope the real person will spare me. If the real person has given me instructions in the future, I will never refuse!"

Zhou Jing sat in his seat and received a gift. Then he raised his hand slightly and said indifferently:

"No need to mention some small things, I have no longer taken them to heart."

The two of them were worried, their palms were covered with sweat. After hearing this, they were really relieved and knew that this level had finally passed.

I was turned away two times before, but I finally allowed to meet today. The family elders all spoke, saying that they caused trouble and ruined the opportunity to make friends with experts. If I can't get the understanding of Yufeng Zhenren today, I will ask for the Dharma to become a monk.

Liu Ping and his son were excited and flattered for another time. Seeing Zhou Jing lifting the tea bowl and taking a sip, they immediately said goodbye and left behind a few boxes of property.

The Ye family servants came in immediately, moved their property away and sent it to Zhou Jing's yard. They were familiar with the road. They had done this kind of work countless times.

Zhou Jing picked up the gift list and glanced at it, curled his lips:

"The Liu family is really generous in taking action, and it seems to be full of sincerity."

He actually had no opinion on Liu Ping, and just took advantage of the problem and took some measures to rectify it. Seeing that the Liu family came to the door sincerely, he let the other party go. After all, it was just a quarrel, and he didn't plan to do it too well.

In recent days, there have been too many people giving gifts. None of the powerful families in Ningtian Mansion came empty-handed. He had saved hundreds of harbors of property and could not even put down the yard he lived in. The Ye family quickly opened up a new yard to serve as a warehouse for Zhou Jing.

Among these gifts, gold and silver are wealth that ordinary people cannot earn in their ten lives, not to mention luxury items such as jewelry, jade, antiques, etc.

There is no place to use money here at the moment, but Zhou Jing did not refuse to make money. He saved it first. Anyway, it was all the money of the gentry. A load of money was sent to him, and the speed of accumulating wealth was like flowing water.

It just so happened that Chen Feng would probably raise an uprising in the future. When he saved enough start-up funds in the future, he would create an opportunity to "rob" him... and he would think that these noble families indirectly funded the "aspiring young people".

Zhou Jing put down the gift list and prepared to see what else is worth seeing.

At this time, the Ye family's grandfather arrived tremblingly with a cane, and a servant was supporting him and followed him.

Seeing this, Zhou Jing put down his bow and stood up, smiled and said, "Old lady, have you been getting better recently?"

"For the blessing of the real person, my life has been back from the gates of hell."

Ye Taigong was happy and a little panting, but his complexion was slightly better than before.

After the evil spirit on his body was driven away, he took Yuchun Pill every day to replenish the foundation, and Zhang Jinduan carefully illuminated it to take care of his body. Now he can walk down the ground.

After a little greeting, the two of them sat back.

Ye Taigong immediately spoke with gratitude: "Zheng Yufeng saved my life. I will remember this kindness within five years. I will treat my body better. I will thank you for the great week."

Zhou Jing nodded and smiled: "The old lady met me when she was critically ill. She should not die. It is also a law of fate. You don't have to care about the empty rituals."

Ye Taigong shook his head: "The real person moves with the flow. This free and easy attitude makes people feel disappointed, but I cannot think it is right. I have ordered that from now on, all the people in the Ye family will regard the real person as the elders of the family, work hard for the real person, and do not have any complaints, and do not disturb them on weekdays... The real person should be at ease living in my Ye family."

Zhou Jing raised his eyebrows, roughly understood the other party’s thoughts, and then spoke up to give the other party a reassurance and said with a smile:

"The Ye family has done many trivial things for me. I live here quite comfortably. I don't have to work for two masters. If the old lady doesn't mind, I will need to stay for some time."

"That's good, this is good..."

Ye Taigong smiled with his eyebrows and eyes.

Recently, Zhou Jing was famous in Ning Tian. I don’t know how many wealthy families wanted to invite Zhou Jing to live in their homes. The Ye family is close to the water and naturally does not want Zhou Jing to leave, so they made this statement.

Zhou Jing himself did not plan to move away. The facilities here were all available. The Ye family also trained them to become a hard-core supporter. He had to re-built when he went out. There was no need to borrow a ready-made one.

The two of them said a few more words, and then Ye Taigong said goodbye, went back to the house to continue recuperating, and stopped bothering Zhou Jing.

At this time, the manager who was waiting outside early came in and reported:

"The real person, there are two Taoist priests outside, one old and one young, who are asking for a meeting, claiming that they have important matters to discuss and want to meet with the real person."

Zhou Jing blinked and asked, "Has the authenticity been verified? Don't be idle people who come to the house to make up things, what kind of hens in their house hatch three chicks with one egg, and whose birds can speak... "

The manager shook his head and said, "These two Taoists have certificates, which is not like making false."

"Then see you."

Zhou Jing became curious.

Two serious Taoist priests came to the door, not knowing what they meant.

I wouldn't have come to check his business without a license, right?

‘Let’s see what the characteristics of Taoist priests in this world are. In the future, there are also references. Moreover, there are evil spirits in this world, and there should be some Taoist priests with real skills. I have made such a big noise, I wonder if I can meet it…’

Zhou Jing said intimately.

...

On the other side, the old Taoist and the young man were waiting outside the Ye family's mansion to return.

The boy glanced at the long queue and whispered: "Master, this Lingfengzi is so popular and there are so many people coming to see him. Will he meet us?"

The old Taoist glanced at him: "You asked me this way, it seemed like I knew."

The boy choked and said unwillingly: "Master, I still feel it is too risky to ask for a meeting rashly..."

The old Taoist turned a blind eye to his ears, closed his eyes to rest, and looked like "My ears are not good."

The boy was bored and settled down.

But after a while, he couldn't stop talking and spoke enviously:

"He is so popular, how much money can he earn every day? Master, why don't we make friends with high-ranking officials?"

The old Taoist opened his eyes and thought: "Do you think there is such a possibility? Is it that I have dragged you down and made you rich?"

"There is this for..."

"Um?"

"Master, I think I still like the feeling of poverty."

"Um."
