Inside the teahouse.
Jian Yuanzi drank tea silently, with a thoughtful look on his face: "From what I've seen and heard, the Wuzhen matter is promising... It's just that Master wants to seize Wuzhi's kingly spirit, which is very dangerous, and we have to do it again." Just look at this woman's appearance!"
"Fortunately, this city is where the Jiedu envoy's mansion is located, and the tea house is close to the main road. As long as we wait silently, we can always see each other once!"
With this thought in mind, he settled down in the city of Chufeng County, wandering around every day, drinking tea and eating snacks in the tea house most of the time, but silently getting acquainted with other regular customers.
pong!
On this day, as soon as he was seated, he heard the storyteller in the center of the teahouse slap the gavel: "The last book mentioned the thirty-seventh chapter of "The Western Regions of the Great Zhou" - the two heroes helped the downcast officials, and the traveler killed them in anger." Black Bear King, by the way..."
The old man's storytelling was vivid, and immediately won applause from all the halls. Occasionally, some people who looked like rich men would throw copper coins as rewards, which made the old man thank you again and again.
Jian Yuanzi knew that the storyteller was here a few days ago, because he was able to attract customers, and the owner of the tea house did not chase them away, which was a bit of mutual benefit.
However, this business is not in a peaceful and prosperous age, and it cannot exist at all. With this, it shows that the small citizens in the county really have some spare money-this is another proof that the government is clear and the oppression is not ruthless.
After listening to a few more words, Jian Yuanzi knew that what the storyteller was talking about was a very popular novel called "The Western Regions of the Great Zhou". A few words.
It is said that the writing of this book is simple, easy to understand, and quite lively and interesting, but it has become very popular, and even attracted several celebrities to write prefaces for it.
It's just a strange thing that the author's name is taboo but unknown.
The reason why he is interested in it is because after listening to a few sentences, he knows that the division of cultivation in it is detailed and the textual research is sufficient. There is no doubt that the author must be a person with real practice, so he paid attention to it.
Generally speaking, it is just a story of an imaginary dynasty's expansion of territory, occasionally mixed with a little ghost and ghost, probably a casual pastime of a certain cultivator, and it is nothing.
But Jian Yuanzi was not waiting for this, he sat for a long time, brewing a pot of tea until there was no more tea smell, suddenly there was a commotion outside, and a voice came to his ears, which made him tremble all over.
"Jiedu Shi Yizhu is here!"
Cars and horses were noisy on the street, but Jian Yuanzi suppressed the excitement in his heart, pretending to turn his head inadvertently.
"Drive!"
The Jiedu envoy has a banner and a festival, which is dedicated to recruiting and killing. It is majestic and grand. When traveling, dozens of cavalry will open the way.
Pedestrians backed away and hurriedly moved out of the way.
"coming!"
On the other hand, Jian Yuanzi, seeing the carriage passing by, immediately closed his eyes and practiced the secret technique silently.
"Although this martial pheasant's luck is grand and the general trend has been achieved, peeping at it will inevitably lead to backlash, but my four-element magic eye is the secret of the sect. Although I can't see the detailed foundation, the specifics are not too bad...'
There was a blurred light in his eyes, and he suddenly looked at the frame.
The frame of the Jiedushi is naturally very gorgeous, the shaft and axle are inlaid with gold and silver, and there are fire and phoenix guards accompanying them with swords.
Boom!
What fell in Jian Yuanzi's eyes was another picture.
Hoo hoo!
In his eyes, traces of golden and green aura emerged from the guard of honor and gathered in the sky above, forming colorful auspicious clouds, carrying the killing aura of gold and iron, which exerted unparalleled pressure on ascetics.
"Ho Ho!"
The auspicious clouds parted suddenly, and a hornless and four-clawed chilong emerged, with three toes growing out of each claw, with scarlet cloud patterns all over its body. At this moment, with a groan, a pair of dragon eyes turned around.
"not good!"
Jian Yuanzi immediately recuperated, but his eyes were in severe pain, as if being burned by fire, knowing that he was still suffering from backlash, he quickly picked up the teacup, and wiped off the blood with the movement of drinking tea.
"Lucky luck is so strong that you have already become a Chilong?"
Chichi, female dragon too! Wu Zhi got this, and combined with the land of the four counties, it would be absolutely difficult for Dingzhou to turn the tables in the future, and it would be easy to claim the kingship.
"From this point of view... this girl's development seems to have a lot of potential, I should advise Master, don't rush to kill the chicken to get the eggs..."
Jian Yuanzi was thinking silently, and suddenly there was another shock: "No! I didn't expect the power of dragon energy to be so terrifying that it even started to affect me..."
He got up, settled the tea money, walked out of the teahouse, looked at the sky, and suddenly felt a little confused: "Master... I hope your choice is correct, otherwise my four-element orthodoxy may really be overthrown." What a disaster..."
…
"Huh? Madame?"
Jiedu Shi relied on his mighty journey and stopped in front of Wujiabao.
Wu Ming looked at Wu Zhi who appeared in front of him, but he was a little surprised: "Why are you here?"
"This place is my concubine's home, why not come?"
Wu Zhi gave Wu Ming a blank look, and sat down beside him: "And... the husband wants to take a concubine. As a big wife, E Ji should come to preside over it!"
"This... Xiuyun and I..."
Wu Ming scratched his head.
"The concubine knows that the woman is an old acquaintance of the husband and has a relationship!"
Wu Zhi suddenly smiled: "Actually, even if my husband doesn't say anything, I still want my husband to do this as soon as possible..."
As she spoke, there was a trace of apology on her face: "After all, I am busy with official duties, and I spend less time with my husband, so it's rare for me to fulfill my duty as husband and wife..."
"It doesn't have to be!"
Seeing the beauty's apologetic posture, Wu Ming couldn't help but stepped forward, hugged Wu Zhi into his arms, and comforted him carefully.
"only… "
The two were tender for a moment, Wu Zhi smiled, and there was a bit of slyness in his smart eyes: "Our previous agreement, husband, don't forget! I still want to lay down a huge family business and let our son inherit it! "
"Well… "
Wu Ming was speechless.
He naturally remembered the agreement that Wu Qing made with Wu Zhi on behalf of himself before, and it seemed that he would adopt a son to the Wu family to inherit the family business.
But in his opinion, that son was too unfortunate.
After all, as the master of the main temple, although it is impossible to pass on the main temple to his heirs after dying of old age, it is much better to reveal a little thing from the fingers at random than the entire Wu family.
I don't know what kind of expression Wu Zhi would have on his face if he knew this.
"Well... About the son's matter, I naturally agreed!"
Wu Pheasant patted his chest, and his gaze became gentle like water: "Thank you, my husband, for your understanding of E-Jiang's difficulties. In this position of my concubine, if I have no heirs, I am afraid that the future will definitely end badly..."
Her body suddenly became hot, hot and touching: "Husband, give me a son..."
Seeing the beauty in such a state, Wu Ming was also moved in his heart. He suddenly laughed, picked up Wu Zhi, and walked into the bedroom.
Not long after, the Huofeng guards guarding the door blushed when they heard the sound coming from the inner hall, and their legs twisted uneasily...
…
In Wu Qing's room.
Li Xiuyun wore her hair in a bun, rolled up the cuffs of her hands, revealing a pair of arms as white as jade.
She stayed quietly in this room, as if the whole world was here.
She has memorized the furnishings of this room by heart, and now, when she comes to clean it, the house is spotless. The whole room is no different from what it was before Wu Qing left.
Only on the wall, the picture scroll that Wu Ming made at the beginning disappeared, leaving a blank space.
As the Wu Family Fort expanded, there were more and more servants and maids of all kinds. Naturally, everything was complicated. In order to compete for the position, the maids and servants occasionally had some secret stories spread out.
There are even some gossip about her.
But Li Xiuyun was originally a Xiaojiabiyu's temperament, with no desires and no desires, and with Wu Ming's roll call, even Butler Wu did not dare to neglect, and everything was fine.
In this way, she spent a lot of free time every day on cultivation instead, and the rapid progress of her Taoism was a surprise.
"Sister Xiuyun!"
After cleaning Wu Qing's room, she was about to go back to her courtyard to do her daily homework, when she saw two young girls approaching with flattering smiles on their faces.
"Sister Shiqin, sister Shihua!"
She was the first to salute, but she was at a loss for a moment, thinking that she had done something wrong, which made the young master displeased.
"What's the name of my sister!"
Shi Hua gave Shi Qin a blank look: "After today, we will call you Mrs. Ru! Congratulations, sister!"
"good!"
Shi Qin was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Congratulations to Mrs. Ru, congratulations to Mrs. Ru!"
"What... such as madam?"
Li Xiuyun asked confusedly, feeling dizzy in her head.
"This... hee hee, the young master is going to take you in, wouldn't you be overjoyed?"
Shi Qin and Shi Hua bit each other's ears, and whispered a few words in Li Xiuyun's ear.
Immediately, a blush rose from Li Xiuyun's face, spreading all the way to the base of her white jade-like neck.
"What? Isn't my sister willing?"
Shi Qin and Shi Hua looked at each other and joked.
"this… "
Li Xiuyun lowered her head and rubbed the corners of her skirt with both hands uneasily.
"Hee hee... We didn't want to disturb you, but my sister, you have raised your status in the mansion now, and you have to add a monthly report, and you have to allocate it to the private cook, maid... What's more, there are a lot of things, what are you doing in a daze?" , come with us!"
Shi Qin and Shi Hua hugged Li Xiuyun's arm affectionately, chatting with each other, with an unconcealable envy in their eyes.
Li Xiuyun was at her mercy like a puppet, and she didn't realize it until she returned to her boudoir.
The previous scenes suddenly came to mind.
Suddenly, two lines of tears flowed down, I don't know whether it was joy or sorrow.
…
The act of taking a concubine was not a big deal in the first place.
For Li Xiuyun, it was just a matter of great importance to Wu Ming. After all, with this woman's identity and reputation, if he drove her out, he would probably die.
Wu Zhi, on the other hand, made a fuss about it enthusiastically, and even entertained Xie Yi and other guests. He acted calmly and looked like a lady, which Wu Ming liked very much.
