Xu Lian, Lin Wan, and Qin Liu returned from Luzhu Town to the Lin family residence on the Third Street in Pingyang County.
The Lin family members immediately noticed Lin Wan's long hair that was piled high, and the glow on her face. This... clearly showed that she was no longer a widow, indicating that she already had a man.
The main reason is that Lin Wan has lived in seclusion for ten years, and she has always had long hair. Now that it is tied up, it is too eye-catching and it is hard not to attract attention.
The reactions of the Lin family members were different.
Hua Rongjun showed a look of joy and relief that her daughter Lin Wan did not disappoint her and had made progress so quickly.
She looked at the young man Xu Lian with shining eyes, exactly like a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law, the more she looked, the more she liked him.
However, she did not point it out, but just smiled and nodded slightly, "Good, good, good, the town and the countryside are good, the mountains and rivers are beautiful and good for nourishing people. It's only been a few days, and the eldest daughter's complexion has improved a lot."
Lin Wan glanced at Xu Lian with a slightly red face, then lowered her head to look at the ground.
When Lin Yue saw his daughter Lin Wan's long hair tied up, he was stunned. Obviously, he didn't know as much as Hua Rongjun did.
However, he still had the intuition of a father. His eyes passed over Qin Liu and locked onto Xu Lian. He smiled faintly and nodded slightly.
Xu Lian didn't dare to neglect it. Although Lin Wan meant not to make it public, he still had to show due respect to the girl's parents. "Uncle and aunt, we are back."
I can’t explain it out loud, so I can only say it this way.
The old housekeeper who was walking tremblingly in the house also noticed Lin Wan's long hair, and a relieved smile appeared on his old face, "That's right, every girl should wear her hair in a bun when she reaches a certain age, it looks much more pleasing to the eye, and it's disgusting and annoying to wear her hair down."
Women in this world generally have three ways of taking care of their hair.
Young women will have spiral buns like Xiaoyu; when they reach the age of finding a man, they will let their hair down long to show that they are ready to get married; after they have a man, they will tie their long hair up; if the man dies, they will let their hair down again.
So, the old housekeeper would say that it is disgusting to wear your hair down at your age. Either you can't get married, or your husband is dead... It is better to wear your hair up, which is more pleasing to the eye.
"Miss, that's not right, you tied your hair wrong."
Xiaoyu is ignorant and doesn't understand the matters between men and women.
The old housekeeper had a stern face and gently hit her head, "Go play somewhere else, what do you know?"
Xiaoyu had no choice but to walk away feeling aggrieved.
The servants of the Lin family couldn't help but cover their mouths and chuckle. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the eldest daughter had a man again. Moreover, judging by the attitude of the head of the family and the lady towards the young man Xu Lian, it was most likely Xu Lian.
"Why isn't Brother Lin at home?"
When Xu Lian asked, he felt that he should inform Lin Chengyu. Although Lin Wan had no intention of making it public, he should at least let Lin Chengyu know.
Hua Rongjun smiled and said, "Yu'er went out with a few friends to train and prepare for the breakthrough of the Bone Refining Stage. He will probably be away from home for a while. You can just talk to him when he comes back."
Xu Lian didn't ask any more questions. Things like cultivation were something that one had to rely on oneself, and he couldn't help much.
Lin Wan and Xu Lian walked around the entire Lin family mansion, behaving somewhat intimately. One had a great appearance and figure, like a beauty; the other was a handsome young man with a good appearance. They were definitely not a good match, after all, there was an age gap, so the maids and servants of the Lin family should be aware of it.
After completing his inspection as the future son-in-law, Xu Lian returned to live in the wing room in the west courtyard. On the surface, he was still a guest staying at the Lin family's house.
Qin Liu did not come to the west courtyard room. He left just now, saying that he was going to look for his fellow brothers who had gone tomb-raiding with him before to make some preparations for excavating the cultivator's tomb.
Firstly, Qin Liu had been imprisoned in the dungeon for several years and was not very skilled. He was unsure about digging the grave with Xu Lian alone and needed the help of his fellow brothers.
Secondly, you also need some special tools for digging graves, as well as things to ward off evil spirits. Digging graves is not an easy task, especially in such a strange world. If you are not careful, it can easily cause corpses to turn into corpses, strange things to turn into ghosts, or be contaminated by evil spirits.
"To advance to the second level of Ming Jin, two Qi Condensation Pills are needed; to advance to the third level of Ming Jin, three or even double the number to four are needed? If this continues, then I will need a lot of Qi Condensation Pills in the future."
Xu Lian was thinking about his own things.
Qi Condensing Pill.
Qi Condensing Pill.
He now only has eight spirit stones, which are not enough to buy one Qi Condensation Pill, let alone a large purchase.
You also have to find a way to get some spirit stones.
"I don't know if there are any spiritual stones buried with the cultivators in their cemeteries, but I can't put all my hopes on them. If there are, that would be the best. If not, there's nothing to be sad about. After all, these are the wealth of the dead. It all depends on luck."
Xu Lian thought about it and decided that it would be safer to use his power to “make money”.
Where do I start
County magistrate
He shook his head slightly, rejecting the idea. This is not the way to pull wool. How can you catch a sheep and pull it hard... You will definitely pull it bald.
Even a rabbit will bite when it is cornered... let alone the county magistrate.
Moreover, although the county magistrate is the apparent order manager of Pingyang County, in reality he is just a low-level cultivator and does not have many spirit stones.
"The bulk of the cultivation resources in Pingyang County are still in the hands of the Yi Cult, followed by the wealthy families living in the First Street, then the smaller but powerful families living in the Second and Third Streets, and the lowest are the independent practitioners.
Therefore, if I want to use my power to obtain spiritual stones, I have to start with the Yijiao, and the wealthy families living on the First Street are also very rich. "
Xu Lian sorted out the distribution of cultivation resources in Pingyang County and gradually sorted out the next plan.
It's time to send out the white cat clone!
The Pingyang County Inspector comes on stage.
At night.
The White Cat's clone came out, walked out of a dark alley on Third Street, crossed the streets and alleys, and headed towards First Street with a step that showed no regard for anyone.
The First Street is heavily guarded, and only those who own a spiritual home on the First Street, or those who have rented a spiritual home on the First Street, can enter.
Because of the existence of the barrier, it is difficult for even a mosquito to sneak in, let alone a cat.
However, Xu Lian had no intention of sneaking in quietly. His white cat clone held the position of Pingyang County Inspector, so he could just walk in through the main gate openly.
Moreover, the purpose of his trip was to "make money". He wanted to be high-profile and stand out so that people would "respect him".
then.
The white cat clone had a sign of Pingyang County Patrol Officer hanging around its neck and was swaggering towards the gate of the barrier.
As expected, when the guards saw the sign of the Pingyang County Inspector, their faces changed. They knew that the newly appointed Pingyang County Inspector had arrived, so they did not dare to neglect him and quickly bowed to salute.
"Greetings, Mr. Inspector!"...
The people from the wealthy families who were entering and exiting the gate were also shocked and made way for them, knowing that a heavyweight figure had come to the county.
You should know that the inspector has great authority and has the right to inquire about any matter within Pingyang County. To put it bluntly, he is here to find out the gaps and shortcomings, commonly known as finding fault.
