Senior Brother, His Beauty and Prosperity[Transmigration Book]

A mermaid, with a human body and a fish tail—

Isn't that the shark?

But sharks have always been a legend. It is said that they live outside the South China Sea, and they have never heard of this place, let alone seen sharks.

Pei Yu looked at Cheng Siyan with a complicated expression, but he didn't expect this serious young master of the Cheng family to be interested in the Merman.

However, before Pei Yu could continue to diverge his thinking, a maid came over.

"Eldest Young Master, Second Young Master. Madame asked me to ask if you want to continue shopping, or go to dinner first?"

Cheng Siyan withdrew his gaze and said lightly, "Shall we eat first?"

The others had no objection. Seeing that Pei Yu still wanted to talk, Gu Yunzhou bumped him with his elbow to signal him to shut up, and followed the girl who came to pass the message. Cheng Siyan intentionally walked at the end.

The Cheng family had many backyards, and no one lived in this yard. Before the mansion was rebuilt, their family lived in the big backyard.Later, the mansion was expanded, and each person had a courtyard, but the backyard where they originally lived was not rebuilt, so it remained vacant.

His eyes stayed on the lock, and his memory drifted away.

"Can I hang out for a little while after dinner?"

Lulu, about four years old, was sitting at the dining table, her childlike voice full of anticipation.

"No, the wind and cold are still not healed, and it's time to catch a cold after the wind blows." Mrs. Cheng beside him firmly refused him.

Lu Lu pouted, her face not concealing her disappointment, "But I haven't gone out to play for a long time."

"Where do you want to go?" Cheng Siyan took a look, "I'll take you there when you stop coughing."

"Liar..." Lu Lu turned his head to one side, "I only see you once in three days, you don't have time at all."

"Yes, he lied to you." Cheng Sijue gloated at the side, "Brother will take you there, where do you want to go?"

"I'm going to see the sea."

The whole family looked at him in amazement. At first they thought he wanted to go shopping, or buy some snacks and gadgets, but they never thought that he wanted to see the sea. Although Qiongzhou is not surrounded by mountains, there are mountains on both sides of the north and south. The sea is invisible.

Even if you want to see the river, it is still a long distance from home, but you rarely leave your house on the road, and there is no concept of distance.

"Why do you want to look at the sea?" Cheng Sijue teased him.

"Because there is a little mermaid princess in the sea."

Lulu's face was full of excitement, his eyes were shining brightly, Mrs. Cheng smiled, "Who told you that there is a mermaid princess in the sea?"

"I know..." The child suddenly lowered his voice, and said to them with a mysterious expression, "I've heard this story before."

Master Cheng has been pretending to be a strict father since the morning. After holding back for a long time, he was still amused by his younger son's cautious appearance, "Oh, my baby."

He picked Lulu up, let him sit on his lap, picked up a handkerchief and wiped off the rice grains from the corner of his mouth. "The sea is too far away, brothers can't go. You tell dad the story, and dad will take you to see the mermaid princess later."

"Really?" Lu Lu became happy, his eyes were shining brightly, he hugged Master Cheng's face with his two little hands, and just took a bite. "I like daddy the most."

"Yesterday you said you liked me the most." Cheng Sijue snorted softly.

Lulu ignored him and happily told the story.The four-year-old child has no concept of order, and when he tells the story upside down, the whole family is stunned.

It can be seen that Lulu told the story seriously and seriously, with a lively expression, no one interrupted him, and listened to him patiently.

Cheng Sijue deliberately bullied him, "What you said must be false, how could there be a palace under the sea."

"It really is..." Seeing that he didn't believe it, Lu Lu stretched out his hand to compare the size, "It's so big..."

It looked more real, as if he had actually seen it.

"All right, all you have is. Then why does the little mermaid princess living in the palace eat poisonous apples instead of small fish and shrimps?"

The child was overwhelmed by the question, and didn't realize that Cheng Sijue was deliberately teasing him. After thinking about it seriously, he sorted out the logical order a little bit.

"Because the wicked queen wants to be the most beautiful woman in the world."

"So the little princess ate a poisoned apple, and the tail of the fish turned into legs, and was rescued by the little prince who went fishing?"

Lu Lu nodded seriously, and Cheng Sijue laughed unceremoniously, "Do you want to go fishing?"

Hearing Cheng Sijuan's ridicule, Lu Lu put on a straight face and became unhappy all of a sudden.

Cheng Siyan coughed and held back a smile to comfort him, "Don't pay attention to him, our Lulu must be the little prince, let your second brother go fishing by himself."

"Why?"

Cheng Sijue is only six years old this year, just the age that he likes to be praised. His eldest brother is usually mature and has won a lot of praise from Mrs. Cheng, so Cheng Sijue has followed suit, often pretending to be mature with a straight face, and likes to be with Cheng Sijue. Yan against.

Seeing Cheng Siyan coaxing him, Cheng Sijue wanted to bully him even more. He glanced at Lu Lu who had just been comforted, and said, "Lu Lu, are you ashamed? You are only four years old and want to marry the mermaid princess."

"I didn't..." Lulu puffed up, his cheeks were flushed, and he didn't know whether he was angry or ashamed.

Mrs. Cheng immediately came out to smooth things over, "Okay, stop making trouble, let's eat first."

Lulu refused to let go, stared at Cheng Sijue and explained again, children are always easy to take other people's words seriously, because they can't tell what is a joke.

Seeing that he refused to eat, Mrs. Cheng carried him away from Master Cheng,

"Yes, no. Lulu didn't want to marry the little princess. It's all your second brother's nonsense, we ignore him."

Cheng Sijue said, "Yes, you didn't want to marry the little mermaid princess."

Seeing that both mother and elder brother believed it, Lu Lu nodded solemnly, with a very serious face, "Well, Lu Lu didn't."

Cheng Sijue smiled suddenly, and then said, "Well, you didn't. Because you want to be a little mermaid princess, right?"

Lu Lu didn't listen carefully, so he nodded along. Seeing that the whole family was laughing, he realized that something was wrong.

"No, I'm a boy, not a little princess. I don't like my brother."

"You didn't say that when you ate my candy yesterday."

"Don't give him candy, take whatever you have left, and you're not allowed to eat it, don't you want any teeth." Mrs. Cheng slapped him on the forehead.

Cheng Sijue took out the sugar bag angrily, feeling aggrieved, he didn't expect to confiscate his own snacks with a word of teasing his younger brother, "He insisted..."

"He will give it to you if he wants it? Then he still wants the little mermaid princess, why don't you find it for him?"

Cheng Sijue rubbed the back of his head and glared at Lulu angrily.

"What kind of little mermaid princess do you want? He looks like a little princess himself, squeamish." Cheng Sijue stuck out his tongue at him.

"slightly……"

"Master?"

When Cheng Siyan came back to his senses, he realized that he had already walked to the locked door. The maid beside him called him, and he took his eyes off the lock.

"Go to the lobby..."

After being seated, four or five maids came up with dishes one after another. There were twelve dishes, all of which were delicious in color, flavor and taste. The whole table was full of spicy dishes, which made people greedy just looking at them.

Lu Xun looked at the table full of his favorite dishes, and his affection for the Cheng family rose sharply. He was a little bit envious of Cheng Yuanzhen, who lived in such a big house, with his parents and elder brother, and a forest of plum blossoms. , fish pond, and so many delicacies.

Pei Yu stared straight at the dishes on the table. Cheng Siyan was also slightly startled when he looked at the dishes on the table, and looked up at Mrs. Cheng.

Cheng Sijue looked at the table full of his younger brother's favorite dishes, and was in a delicate mood, "Mother, you..."

"I suddenly want to eat today."

The brothers of the Cheng family have inherited that Mr. Cheng is very good at eating spicy food, but Mrs. Cheng is not very good at eating spicy food. He was married to Qiongzhou City and followed the Romans, so he also ate some spicy food.

Seeing that Mrs. Cheng looked very happy, Cheng Sijue couldn't refute his mood.

"Sorry, our family likes spicy food. I don't know if you can eat it. I asked the kitchen to prepare several light dishes. If you can't eat spicy food, you can eat some light dishes." Mrs. Cheng said with a smile.

Cheng Siyan looked at Mrs. Cheng. He knew that his mother saw Lu Xun and thought of her missing young son.

Just like when he first met Lu Xun, he also inexplicably wanted to get close to Lu Xun.

Goodbye yesterday, Cheng Siyan did not hide his goodwill, he invited Lu Xun to come to his house as a guest, he wanted to make friends with him, he couldn't explain why, but he didn't associate Lu Xun with his missing brother .

Lu Xun seemed to be in good health, but his younger brother was a sick man who couldn't cultivate, and would get sick easily after walking a few steps, so his parents rarely let him go out.When his younger brother was six years old, he asked him with anticipation when he could practice like them.

But his younger brother's body can't cultivate at all, and his physique is special, if...

The whole family was angry because of this, and they didn't want to disappoint the younger brother, so whenever the younger brother asked, he could only say that he was not in good health and that he was not yet ready to practice.

Cheng Siyan's eyes fell on Lu Xun's overly stunning face, which looked nothing like his younger brother.

His younger brother was carved from jade, he is beautiful, his eyes are clear and bright, Cheng Siyan thinks that his younger brother is also beautiful when he grows up, but he is not as gorgeous and beautiful as Lu Xun, he should be as gentle as jade that makes people feel comfortable looks.

Speaking of which, Lu Xun's appearance is the type he usually avoids the most, but Lu Xun has a generous demeanor and a pleasing personality. He is probably about the same age as his younger brother, so he can't help but want to take care of him more.

The Cheng family had different ideas, but Lu Xun didn't care too much about it, but he was not reserved, and with Mrs. Cheng's enthusiasm, and a table of his favorite dishes, Lu Xun was quite satisfied.

Before leaving, Mrs. Cheng was quite reluctant to give up, hoping that he could come to play more often when he was free.

Lu Xun was surrounded by the Cheng family, and Pei Yu was very puzzled. After leaving the Cheng family, Pei Yu said, "Why does the Cheng family like you so much and they are all around you? Don't they know that you and Cheng Yuanzhen don't have a good relationship?" ?”

When Pei Yu said this, it was quite refreshing to think about it, "Cheng Yuanzhen is not at home today, or if he sees his parents and brother getting along so well with the person he hates the most, he will definitely vomit blood."

Lu Xun didn't care at first, but after hearing what Pei Yu said, "I'm a little sorry for what you said."

"Right?" Pei Yu said with a smile: "Then you go around more, maybe you can see Cheng Yuanzhen's rich and wonderful expressions."

Laughing, the group of people was not in a hurry to go back. Although they came to participate in the Xianmen Conference, they were originally asked to come out to relax and play before the conference. The four of them wandered around Qiongzhou Town for a while, and finally rested in a teahouse.

A few people were sitting on the second floor, by the window, so they could see the streets full of people coming and going.

"I didn't expect Qiongzhou City to be so lively." Pei Yu took a sip of tea, "I heard people say that Qiongzhou Town is a remote village, but I didn't expect it to be so prosperous now."

The people who were also eating tea in the teahouse laughed on the street when they heard Pei Yu's words. "Brother, is this your first visit? Qiongzhou City was quite closed more than ten years ago, but it is not that poor. The land here is large and the folk customs are simple. The main reason is that the roads are blocked, people from outside can't get in, and people inside don't like it. go out."

"Later, the two big mountains were removed, and the east, west, north, south, and four sides were open. After the waterway was convenient, more people came and went."

Lu Xun found it interesting, and the people at the next table saw that they were merchants passing by, apparently often passing by Qiongzhou Town. "Does the eldest brother know what moved this mountain?"

That merchant is a funny person, he likes to dictate worldly music, "This is an interesting story."

"Does the Cheng family in Qiongzhou City know?"

"There are still many monks in Qiongzhou Town. The Cheng family made a fortune in making immortals, but their previous business was only in Qiongzhou City. Now that the waterway is connected, most of the merchants come and go from all over the prefecture. Starting a business with the Cheng family, the Cheng family The fairy artifacts from my family have been sold in various places."

It can be said that there are businessmen from the Cheng family all over the state, and they will come back once a month.

Lu Xun knew that the good relationship between Xuanshan School and Cheng family was also due to the connection of fairy artifacts. The Cheng family's fairy artifacts are always unique. Once the Cheng family starts selling them, other families will follow suit.

When he sent Cheng Yuanzhen to Xuanshan School, Master Cheng still brought a lot of rare treasures, and even sent a lot of fairy artifacts.All kinds of fairy weapons used by the disciples of the Xuanshan School also came from the Cheng family.

Pei Yu interrupted and asked, "So the Cheng family removed the mountain blocking the way in order to expand their business?"

"Not really, the mountain was moved by Cheng's family, and there was a little story circulating at that time."

Pei Yu immediately became interested, "What a little story, I like listening to stories the most."

The merchant laughed out loud, and said: "Then I don't know, I just heard that there is an underground palace under the sea, and some kind of princess lives there."

A group of people at the same table as the merchant said: "Old Xu, your memory is bad. That's called the mermaid princess!"

"Ah yes! It seems to be a story about a mermaid looking for her mother."

Pei Yu:?

Lu Xun suddenly smiled and said, "This story is quite interesting."

Merchant: I haven't said anything yet?

Pei Yu looked at him suspiciously, "Axun, have you heard of this accident?"

Seeing that Gu Yunzhou and Su Qingheng were also looking at him, Lu Xun immediately sat upright, coughed, and said, "I heard..."

"Oh? Brother, let me hear what you said?" The merchant was aroused by his appearance.

The group of people at the next table also looked at Lu Xun expectantly, and Pei Yu urged: "You said it..."

Lu Xun had never heard any stories before, but he just wanted to tease Pei Yu, but now that a group of people are staring at him, he can only bite the bullet and make nonsense.

"The mother of the mermaid princess passed away, and the king of the sea palace married a beautiful woman. The stepmother who became the queen hated the young and beautiful mermaid princess, so she ate a poisoned apple for the mermaid princess, and threw the little mermaid out of the sea palace. , and then floated to the surface of the sea, and was rescued by the little prince who went fishing in the sea."

"and then?"

Lu Xun didn't expect that his random nonsense story would make a few people listen to it with gusto, and after thinking about it, they continued to talk nonsense.

After the little prince rescued the mermaid princess, the princess lost her fish tail, and the little princess lost her memory, and she didn't remember that she was a mermaid, so she was taken home by the little prince.

The amnesiac mermaid wanted to jump into the sea every time she saw the sea, but he couldn't swim. Once, after choking on the water, she fell into a coma for a long time, and then the little prince forbade him to go near the sea.

Later, the little prince fell in love with the little princess and wanted to marry the little princess, but the custom of the little prince's family required the presence of his parents when getting married, so the little prince found a family member for the little princess.

Pei Yu became angry when he heard that, "That vicious queen is too hateful."

"That's right, it's too much. Has the little mermaid finally found a home?"

"I found it..." Lu Xun really couldn't make it up anymore, so he just came to the finale.

"After untold hardships, the little prince opened a mountain to open a road, and somehow he finally found the sea area where he was fishing. That day, the sea was rough and the huge waves capsized the little prince's boat. The tail turned into an illusion. After recovering the memory, he took the little prince back to his own Sea Palace."

"It's really twists and turns..." The merchant's eyes lit up, "There seem to be many versions of this story."

Because of this story, it spread to the towns near Qiongzhou City, and some people made a special trip to Qiongzhou City, just to see what Qiongzhou City is surrounded by the sea on all sides, and some people are curious to go to the sea to see what is going on under this sea area. , Is there really a Neptune Palace?

It's over after listening to the story, but before Lu Xun went to bed at night, he suddenly remembered that the system once said that it was especially good at telling stories.

During the competition with Cheng Yuanzhen, Lu Xun wanted the system to open a cheat for him, but the system said it couldn't be done.Lu Xun used aggressive methods to provoke it. At that time, the system was aggrieved and said that he was not a waste, and that he was the best story-telling system in the prefecture bureau. He wanted to tell Lu Xun a bedtime story, but was rejected.

"Tong, tell me a little bedtime story."

The system didn't even turn on the notification sound, and said excitedly, "You finally want to hear me tell a story?"

"I remember you saying you were good at bedtime stories, what would you tell?"

"I'm good at fairy tales. There are many "Snow White", "Daughter of the Sea", "Cinderella", "The Frog Prince"." The system was finally able to brag in front of Lu Xun, a little carried away, "You used to..."

"What happened before?"

The system choked and paused before saying, "There used to be a kid who liked to hear me tell bedtime stories."

"Didn't you say that I was your first host?"

The system didn't expect Lu Xun to remember this sentence so clearly. After thinking for a while, he said, "It's just a child, not our contractual relationship, so you are my first host."

"Oh……"

The system didn't know whether he believed it or not, so he asked, "Want to hear a story?"

Lu Xunqi made up a nonsense story about the little mermaid princess today, and somehow he thought of the system's bedtime story, so he didn't want to sleep now, so he asked the system to tell him "Snow White".

When he heard about the poisonous apple, Lu Xun was startled suddenly, why is it so similar to his nonsense story?

Just as he was about to ask about the system, there was a knock on the door, and Su Qingheng's voice was outside the door.

"Brother, are you asleep?"
