Chapter 1(1)
"Being promised by your father is really a disgrace for eight lifetimes..." Bogrand sat on the horse, wiping his face with a sweat towel and kept thinking.
"I will definitely be ruined for nine lifetimes by your mother..." Hai Dongqing, who was covered in scars, lay on the back of another horse and complained weakly.
Sitting in the luxurious carriage, Wen Jin, the eldest young master of the Wen family, who had been nagged by them all the way, opened the curtain of the carriage in annoyance and looked at the two soul servants who were promised by his parents and his personal bodyguards.
"That's enough. My Wen family has always provided you with delicious food and drinks. What are you dissatisfied with?" Not only do they have beautiful houses, beautiful clothes, and hordes of servants, they also pay them sky-high bodyguard fees. It would be too immoral to dislike them any more.
Unexpectedly, they both roared in unison: "Too many!"
Let me ask, is there any soul servant these days who is more miserable than the two of them?
Absolutely not.
In order to protect this young man whose life is more valuable than gold and who is also the heir to a century-old business family, they have been poisoned more than a hundred times in the past ten years and have been stabbed so many times that they have countless scars on their bodies, which they can use to twist hemp rope!
However, Wen Jin is restless. Ever since his parents traveled around the world ten years ago, he took over as the new young head of the Wen Mansion. Instead of being honest and staying in the Wen Mansion to take charge of business, he insists on doing business everywhere, without even thinking about it.Thinking about how many business rivals and enemies the Wen family has outside, every time they go out with him to discuss business, it feels like they have lost their lives. If they continue to be tormented by this young master who keeps causing troubles, even if they have nine lives, they will only have half of them left!
The more Bogrand thought about it, the more angry he became. "I made an agreement with your father that I will only protect you for eleven years. As soon as it expires next year, I will stop being your bodyguard. Anyway, you are not my soul master, so why should I sacrifice my life and blood for you all year round? If you have the ability, just go and get a soul service by yourself, and don't always take advantage of your parents!"
"Your mother lied to me back then, saying that she only needed to take care of your life for eleven years..." Hai Dongqing bit her lip sadly, "I'm not a great god, so how can I take risks and save you from fire and water every time? I beg you, young master, to find a way out for me and let me live!"
The old tune was played again by the two of them, and Wen Jin could not help but stroke his forehead helplessly.
"Stop arguing, I'll find a prime minister-level bodyguard with strong martial arts skills as soon as possible." All told, they wanted to resign.
"It's best this way!" How many years have they heard this?
The carriage walked slowly along the bluestone avenue of the capital of the man's country. Soon after arriving in the center of the city, a huge mansion with white walls and black tiles, the symbol of the Wen family, came into view. Wen Jin only glanced at the people who had gathered outside waiting for him to return home, and felt a faint pain between his eyes again.
After the two bodyguards guarding the carriage dismounted, one concentrated on wiping the blood on his head that had not been wiped dry, while the other limped and prepared to enter the mansion for treatment. However, the people waiting in front of the mansion seemed not to see them. After rudely pushing them away, the elderly people walked straight towards Wen Jin who had just got off the carriage.
"Jin'er!"
"Don't be in charge!"
As soon as he got off the car, he was surrounded by his elders. Wen Jin was used to this scene.He puffed up his sleeves, put his hands in them and bowed to greet them.
"First uncle, third uncle, fifth uncle, sixth uncle, seventh uncle... I'm back."
"Good boy, just come back, just come back..." Several elderly people felt relieved after confirming that he had returned home unscathed.
No matter how politely Wen Jin bowed to them, he did not dare to stay longer at all. "I have been running around for several days and now my grandson is tired. Please allow me to rest and wash up first, and then I will pay my respects to the elders another day."
"Wait a minute!" Several uncles who didn't intend to let him go just like that, blocked his way with quick eyesight and quick hands when he was about to leave.
"I'm talking about Jin'er..." The fifth uncle of the Wen family smiled kindly, "We went on a blind date this time... How did it go?"
"There are many beauties." Looking at the crowd of glaring elders, Wen Jin carefully picked out the words and tried his best to choose the ones he could say.
"Oh?" Everyone's eyes suddenly lit up with hope.
He cautiously added: "There are many ladies among us who are knowledgeable and courteous."
"Then..." The people who had already looked at the eldest lady held their breath with excitement.
"It's a pity that the young master picked here and there but no one caught his eye." However, Bogrand just didn't know how to look at him and poured cold water on him without hesitation.
"Not to mention there are a bunch of women who want nothing more than their lives. No matter how generous the betrothal gift we offer is, they will not marry him even to death." Hai Dongqing is not lagging behind, because she is afraid that the world is not chaotic enough.
Wen Jin, who had no time to cover up their quick words, could only frown and watch as the elders surrounding him all changed their faces in the next moment, and each one started to cry at the top of his voice.
"Oh my God!"
"My Wen family has a miserable life..."
"Is the bloodline of our Wen family about to end in this generation?"
"You guys caused it, you are responsible for settling it." Wen Jin dragged the two unscrupulous bodyguards out of the way with a headache, then left them behind and headed towards the door of the house without hesitation.
After escaping inside and leaning on the door to take a deep breath, Wen Jin didn't even have the chance to be thankful that he had escaped the tears again. He saw that all the servants in the house were waiting for him inside the door without saying a word. Their expressions were particularly neat and uniform, and they all looked like they were languid and unmotivated. Some of the servants were still downcast, secretly pulling on their sleeves to wipe away tears from time to time.
"Young Master, you are back." Uncle Wen, the chief steward of the Wen Mansion, stepped forward with a friendly smile.
"What's going on?" Wen Jin asked, pointing to the servants who were dragging their heavy footsteps away.
Uncle Wen said helplessly: "They heard that the three young masters received a letter from Fei Ge this morning, and they all became like this after knowing that the eldest young master did not bring the eldest young lady back this time."
"Tell them to cheer up. I will definitely bring them a young lady next time." It's not the first time I didn't bring them back. Is it necessary to be so depressed?
"They don't do this anymore..." Even he did.
Wen Jin sighed tiredly, turned around and walked into the hall, but he didn't see the three younger brothers who would always be waiting to welcome him when he returned home.
"Where are the bastards?"
"The second young master and the third young master said that if you don't pay for your sister-in-law, you won't be able to work." The reason given to him by the two young masters who gave up the business was that the blow was too great and they suddenly felt that life was hopeless, so they wanted to go together to heal.
"..."
"The fourth young master said that if he doesn't give his sister-in-law, he won't eat, and he won't recognize his elder brother." The young master, who was only ten years old this year, squatted in front of the house before dawn, waiting for his future sister-in-law. After knowing that his elder brother failed to bring home a wife this time, he cried all morning.
Wen Jin rubbed the stinging cheeks and said, "I know, you go outside to comfort the elderly people for me first, don't let them cry for too long..."
"Yes."
After sending Uncle Wen away, Wen Jin slumped down in the big chair as if frustrated. All that came and went in his mind at the moment were all the disappointed faces.
He also knew how much the whole family, young and old, expected him to bring back a young lady from his trip, but the dream was always a dream, and the reality was still as cruel as it should be. When he returned empty-handed, he still couldn't find the young lady they talked about, and once again, their hopes for many years were shattered like bubbles.
With expectations comes disappointment, and after the disappointment, there is always some resentment.
Over the years, he had heard their complaints and accusations countless times.Everyone thinks that he is not dedicated enough or dedicated enough in finding a wife, nor is he full of enthusiasm... After all, he is still married without a wife. The problem is that he does not work hard enough.
But, is getting a wife really just something he can do if he works hard enough?
No, it has nothing to do with hard work, because it is just a little bit harder than climbing to the sky.
As for the reason?
No reason, just because the country they live in is a country of men.
