Chapter 5 No Wealth Is Not Enough to Raise the Way

The weather is fine and the sun is shining

The gentle breeze blew through the treetops and swayed gently.

Zhongwang Mountain, Qianlong Villa.

"Is lunch ready?"

"Young Master will be arriving before noon."

"Will the master's room be cleaned again? Will the various things I prepared be placed?"

"Have you hung up the red lantern in front of the door?"

"Please put away the debris over there in the utility room quickly. Don't leave it here to obstruct your eyes."

"The road from the open space in front of the villa to the young master's room must be cleaned cleanly, and the various decorations must be finely decorated to make the young master feel comfortable. Do you understand?"

The village was bustling with excitement. The white-haired butler was shouting and instructing everyone to do things, but he himself was sweating profusely and quite tired.

Everyone in the villa, including servants and maids, was very busy.

——

"The master is here!"

Suddenly there was a sound.

The housekeeper hurriedly ran out the door, but there were already people in front of the door that he had prepared, lined up on both sides, waiting for the young master to arrive.

I saw a group of people coming slowly on the road.

The first one was a young man sitting in a wheelchair. He looked about in his early twenties, with a handsome appearance and skin as white as snow.

He was smiling and dressed in white, but he was spotless.

Behind him, there was a strong man like an iron tower with an expressionless face, pushing a wheelchair.

"Son..."

The old housekeeper came in a hurry and asked, "Why are you here so early?"

Zhuang Ming said with a smile: "Fengcheng is prosperous and busy, but I like peace and quiet, so I can't sit still at home, so I will come to the villa to stay... The things I need in the home will be brought over in the afternoon.

Let Yin Ming accompany you."

The old housekeeper knew in his heart that the martial arts of Qian Yang and Yin Ming were extremely unpredictable. Since the young master asked Yin Ming to stay and escort them, it meant that there were many valuable things among these things, and even the young master valued them very much.

There are five stewards here in Fengcheng, and the old man Bai in front of him, who is over sixty years old, is the oldest one, but he is also the first to follow him. He has been working in the village five years ago and is very experienced.

, and gained his trust the most.

Zhuang Ming looked at the old housekeeper and said, "I want to move in, but Mr. Bai is so busy that he is sweating all over. I'll just ask the young and strong to do the rest of the things."

After hearing this, the old housekeeper wiped his sweat and said: "I thought the young master would come only after noon. He just ordered people to arrange the arrangements. Everyone has not changed clothes yet, but they are all sweating profusely."

Zhuang Ming waved his hand and said: "Things like etiquette cannot be rude in front of outsiders, but everyone in the village is our own family, so you don't need to pay too much attention to these things, and you can save yourself some energy."

The old housekeeper felt warm in his heart and said in a low voice.

The little maid stood nearby, and when she heard this, she smiled a little, and her eyes narrowed into crescent moons.

Zhuang Ming waved his hand and said: "Okay, let me see what is so outstanding about this Qianlong Villa. Is it really like the name I gave it, where real dragons can be hidden?"

——

This villa covers a vast area.

Although it is a villa, the interior layout is also very particular.

From the open space in front of the door, to the threshold steps, the two lions in front of the door, the copper ring on the door, straight through the screen wall, corridor, front hall, lobby, backyard, garden and other places, everything is extremely exquisite, just like in the painting.

In addition, all kinds of objects, various furnishings, vases and ancient paintings are all extraordinary.

"Knowing that the young master will live here for a long time, when this place was built, the old slave personally supervised it and did not dare to make any mistakes. Especially these precious objects were all handled by himself."

The old housekeeper whispered: "I'm afraid of spending too much money, and I'm afraid that someone might install some hidden weapons on these things... But most of the items were moved from the mansion in Fengcheng.

"

Zhuang Ming said with a smile: "Mr. Bai really means it, but there is no need to go to such trouble."

The old housekeeper said: "If the young master wants to live here for a long time, naturally he cannot be too careless."

Zhuang Ming patted the hem of his clothes and said leisurely: "Although I live here for a long time, it is relatively speaking. After all, I have to move around more."

He laughed and said: "Things in Fengcheng have stabilized. You can make some preparations. If there are no changes, I will personally go to the capital in two months to collect the medicine, cloth and salt there.

Step down."

When the old housekeeper heard this, he hesitated to speak and finally did not speak.

"Master." The little maid couldn't help but speak softly: "The weather has become very fast recently, and the temperature is unpredictable. With the manpower arranged by you, the things outside can be stabilized. You don't need to worry too much. Your health is important.

."

"I'm not too sick to bear the weather."

Zhuang Ming shook his head with a smile and said: "As for this business, how can it be successful if it is just stable? Sail against the current, and if you don't advance, you will retreat... Many opportunities cannot be ignored. Nowadays, several businesses in the capital seem to be grand and prosperous, but they are just

It is hot for a while, but in fact it has insufficient back-up force. After some time, it will naturally fade away. It cannot flow slowly, cannot be stable for a long time, and it cannot meet the requirements in my heart."

"Not to mention anything else, just saying that this villa looks beautiful, but in our garden, the flowers, plants, rockery, flowing water and other things all need to be taken care of."

"The stewards, servants, maids, nurses, cooks and other staff in this villa, as well as daily food and drink, and monthly wages, can be considered a considerable expense."

"In addition, the medicinal materials I need, the ancient books I requested, and the amount of money spent on them are beyond the imagination of ordinary people."

"It's said that you can only live in vain. No matter how rich you are, you can't help but squander."

"Water without roots will not last long, and our business is the source of water, so we must not ignore it."

Having said this, he couldn't help but sigh, shook his head slightly, and laughed at himself.

And deep in the eyes, there is also some complex color.

His words actually have a preface.

No money is not enough to cultivate the Tao!

——

No money is not enough to cultivate the Tao!

This sentence has a profound feeling for him!

At that time, he entered the world for the first time and was disheartened. He was still young and spent extravagantly. Later, when he fell off a cliff and returned, the family property he left behind had already been divided up.

Without money, even having a full stomach is a problem. How can we talk about meditation and Taoism?

When there are no easy days, people want to practice Taoism, but they are afraid that before they can achieve Taoism, they will starve to death first.

To warm and raise young dragons requires countless resources, so he started doing business, worked hard, and intrigued, and finally got this rich family.

Only in this way can he have enough money to buy various high-value tonics, even rare treasures of heaven and earth, to nourish that ray of pure Qi.

That ray of pure energy was nourished by all these things and was able to grow to where it is now in six years.

In addition, he also collected various ancient books and even bought these ancient books at high prices, including many incomplete books.

Some of these classics were completely useless, while others recorded rare methods that brought him many benefits.

After several years, he has achieved his current financial status.

But he also knew that this was not enough.

If he were just a mortal, it might be enough. After all, he is now rich enough to support his squandering for ten lifetimes, which is more than enough.

But after all, he is not a mortal. What he wants is not glory and wealth, but immortality.

At the moment, the most important thing is to "raise the dragon"!

I don’t know how much effort it takes to raise this dragon!

Today's family fortune is still not enough for him!

At this moment, a sound suddenly came from outside.

"The head of the Qian family in Xuancheng wants to see you."

Upon hearing this title, the faces of several people present changed, hinting at anger.

Only Qian Yang looked normal and had a resolute face.

"It's not too late."

Zhuang Ming nodded with a smile and said, "Let him come in."
