"Pei'er, you must not reveal your secret, otherwise you will lose your last role, and your father may marry you immediately. If you can always pretend to be Su Erya and stand in front of outsiders, then you don't need to worry about getting married. "
Su Zipei's mother's words of advice rang in her ears, and her rationality returned a little.
At this time, Su Huanli spoke: "Zipei, you made so many mistakes in the past. Dad has never blamed you. This time, you must perform well in front of the Zhu family and the Yang family, and don't weaken the reputation of my Su family." .”
Seeing that her father's tone was quite gentle, Su Zipei felt a little better. She nodded obediently and said, "Don't worry, Dad, the child will be careful."
Seeing this, Su Huanli's eyes softened even more. Children will always grow up. After experiencing so many things, Zipei finally knew how to think about his family.
"Your second sister is extremely talented, a rare genius. She may become a high-ranking female royal chef in the future, which you can't compare with. It's just that Dasu Town is not very safe recently. You must protect your second sister well and replace Don't let her get hurt. You are biological sisters, and your second sister will remember your kindness. It is very possible for you to find an official family to marry and become an official's wife in the future."
Su Huanli took the trouble to teach, but he didn't notice that after hearing these words, Su Zipei lowered his head and his face became distorted.
Am I just a substitute for Su Erya
What a joke!
Are we sisters
She is obviously a bastard picked up by her mother!
Why is she so superior and I can't compare to her
I am human! Not a mask!
Su Zipei was almost about to yell out Su Erya's life experience, but the words swirled in her heart and reached her lips, but she was abruptly interrupted by Su Huanli.
"Zipei, are you listening?"
Su Huanli's voice was slightly harsh and the pitch was a bit higher. Su Zipei suddenly broke into a cold sweat and said in a soft voice: "Yes, daddy, the child understands."
"Ah That's good."
Su Huanli put away his majesty, rewarded the silver coins again, and finally finished the beating. The Baiwei Building agreed with Zhu Yang's family is not far away.
On this day, the entire market in Dasu Town could smell the lovely aroma wafting from Baiweilou. Rumors gradually spread among the ordinary people that Baiweilou was out of business and researching the treasure of the store. Now that a new dish has been released, it will reopen. !
At noon that day, Zhu Rongkun and Yang Li left with bruises and faces. People who were curious about why the two masters fought were told that they were fighting over a dish!
Su Zipei collapsed on the ground, looking at the messy box, with dried yellow mud scattered everywhere, and the alluring aroma lingering, making her mouth water.
"It turns out that the aroma that I smelled that day was the new dish made by my second sister."
She performed very poorly today, with almost no temperament as a genius. However, in front of the beggar chicken, no one paid attention to her. The two masters in the house turned into gangsters fighting on the street over this dish. Who still remembers kneeling in the corner? Su Zipei!
"Hurry up and stand up! If you behave so badly in the future, how can you protect your second sister!"
Su Huanli reprimanded sternly, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up. Although no one mentioned profits during the whole process, it had already been settled who would receive the final 10% of the profits.
Su Zipei stood up silently, as dumb as a piece of wood, and followed Su Huanli back without saying a word during the whole process. She didn't burst into tears until she returned to the west courtyard room and saw Zhu Yan.
Zhu Yan hugged Su Zipei distressedly and comforted her softly. After a long time, Su Zipei explained the whole matter intermittently.
"Su Huanli, you actually used my daughter as a shield!!"
Zhu Yan gritted her teeth, her voice changed with anger, and her heart, liver, spleen, and lungs were entangled together, causing pain. She was vaguely aware of this, but she didn't expect that Su Huanli would tell Zi Pei to the point. This made Zi Pei, who had always been proud, unbearable!
"Zipei, don't cry!"
Zhu Yan held Su Zipei's weak shoulders tightly, with fire in her eyes, "Don't forget, one day you will become famous. What is a female cook? She is just a tool! When you become a princess or a general's wife, she will be. A servant who cooks for you!”
Zhu Yan's comfort really had a miraculous effect. Su Zipei gradually stopped crying and asked: "Mom... what should I do now?"
"A little impatience will ruin a big plan. If you endure this period of time, when I find the owner of the jade pendant, good times will come for you and me."
The light in Zhu Yan's eyes flashed, "You continue to listen to your father. Only in this way can you delay time and not get married! And if you do this, you will definitely have to come into contact with Baiweilou's business in the future, which will also be a test for you. In the greenhouse Flowers are always useless, and the intrigues of the rich and powerful families are even more powerful. I want to start training you now."
"Yeah! I listen to my mother." Su Zipei's hope rekindled in her heart, and she even felt a little secretly happy.
Su Erya, Su Erya, no matter how extraordinary you are and how talented you are, the final winner can only be me. Let me see how long you, a frog in a well, can jump!
Su Li, who still didn't know the secret of the jade pendant, was in the study obediently pouring tea for Qi Xianqing, who had returned from a long journey.
"Erya, your talent in cooking is far beyond my imagination."
Back in Dasu Town, Qi Xianqing got the news almost immediately. He looked extremely solemn at this moment and warned in a deep voice: "But... the cook has a low status and is a common man after all. You must remember not to delay your cultivation because of small things. Only when your cultivation level is high can you transcend others and control your own destiny, and you don’t even have to look down on the king of a country?"
"But Master, it is written in the books that people in the world are not as good as the imperial court, so how can they be aloof from others?" Su Li asked pretendingly.
Qi Xianqing didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Those books you read are all controlled by the imperial court. How can they say bad things about themselves? The country is indeed a behemoth, and ordinary people should not insult it lightly. However, those who have cultivated to the point of transcending the ordinary world are not at all They will be restricted by the court, but the court will be afraid of them. Why do you think this is?"
Su Li's eyes were clear and he immediately replied: "I understand. The book says, 'Bare feet are not afraid of wearing shoes.' The court has many concerns, but the scattered people in the world have no fixed place and almost no weaknesses."
Qi Xianqing was stunned immediately. He didn't expect that Su Erya, who had never been out before, would have such keen eyesight, and he could see the key immediately.
"My disciple is really smart, so you have to become that kind of outsider. Look at those people who are entangled in the world. They are not controlled by others and are trapped by others. Only like your master can you be free and unrestrained."
Su Li was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked: "Is Master cultivating the ruthless way?"
Qi Xianqing's pupils shrank in an instant, and this was when Su Li said again: "I see in Gui Gu Ming Sutra, it is said that if you have no scruples, you must give up your emotions, and you are a ruthless person. But I still have my parents, and my eldest brother Brother, how can you give up?"
After saying these words, Su Li didn't get an answer from Qi Xianqing for a long time.
After a long time, Qi Xianqing smiled bitterly and said nothing. He had forgotten that Erya was still a fourteen-year-old girl who had just entered the mortal world. How could she give up everything like he did when he stepped into the coffin.
"Different circumstances lead to different paths..."
At this moment, Qi Xianqing had a vague realization. If he possessed the sixth level of Guigu Mingjing, he might be able to break through immediately and add decades to his life.
Too bad he didn't.
That's all, he, the master, has already brought Su Li in, and at most he will help her pave an easier path. As for how Su Li will practice in the future, let her do it herself.
Thinking of this, Qi Xianqing took out a yellowed book from his arms and wrote "Wuqi". Su Li was slightly shocked when he saw it. He didn't expect that this old guy could acquire such a high-quality disguise technique. It was almost the same as what she had practiced in her previous life.
Qi Xianqing put the booklet on the table and explained carefully: "There are also different levels of disguise skills in the world. The lowest level is to use herbs to change the facial features to achieve the purpose of disguise. However, this method has many flaws. Yi Xianqing Being broken by others; the middle-grade method is the disguise pill refined from medicinal materials. If you encounter someone with a lower cultivation level than yourself, generally speaking, you will not be broken. The last one is this thing."
Qi Xianqing pointed at the booklet and continued: "Anyone can practice the Secret Technique of Disguise. After practicing to a high level, unless the opponent possesses the Secret Technique of Eye Technique, there is no way it can be broken. However, the Secret Technique of Disguise" Cultivation is very difficult, and only a few people in the world can reach the state of transformation. This secret art of disguise, called "Wuqi", is considered to be a relatively high-grade secret art. You can take it and practice it quickly, and your appearance will be slightly changed. Cover it up."
"Yes, Master."
Su Li took it and sighed in her heart, as expected, it is different to practice with a master. She was alone in her previous life and suffered a lot. It took her a full year to arrange it before she got a copy of "Unrecognizable" with many flaws, but in this life it was almost effortless.
"Baicao Hall still has things to do. You must practice diligently and don't be lazy. I will come to check your study and cultivation progress tomorrow morning. Do you understand?"
"Disciple understands, master, please go slowly."
After explaining the art of disguise, Qi Xianqing stood up and left, and Su Li hurriedly saw him off.
That night, Su Li stayed up all night and finished reading "Wu Qi". Compared with "Unrecognizable", "Wuqi" is more practical.
Unrecognizability can turn a person into an ugly person, with the facial features distorted and almost disabled; while Wuqi can change the appearance of ordinary people. If the practice is successful, no matter how handsome and extraordinary the person is, he will become ordinary. This disguise technique is undoubtedly It was specially made by Qi Xianqing for Su Li.
The art of disguise has many things in common, just opening up some secret acupuncture points. Su Li is rich in experience and wanted to try it out. However, the weather was too dark, so he could only go to the East Academy Academy with the calligraphy book in hand.
In order not to cause trouble, she walked all the way to the east courtyard with her veil covered. Qi Xianqing secretly praised her when she saw her.
The so-called human nature cannot be changed. Some personalities don't change with age. The more joyful they are in the world, the faster they will die. Su Li's cautious and trouble-free temperament is perfect for traveling in the world.
Although she is kinder and simpler now, she will naturally improve when she encounters more things in the future. Qi Xianqing has always been very lucky to find such a suitable successor at the end of his life.
After class, Qi Xianqing checked Su Li's cultivation progress and couldn't help but be very satisfied. It seemed that in half a year's time, when his disciple reached the third level of cultivation, he would be able to officially teach her the art of medicine.
"There's not enough time..."
Qi Xianqing was worried and could only hope that Su Li would make a breakthrough soon.
