dusk
When Pei Ziyun returned home, he was stunned. Although the door had not been replaced, there was a plaque on it: "Pei Mansion"
The corridors and rooms, which had been covered in dust and peeling off with age, were now at least wiped clean, and all the weeds in the garden were removed and the branches were pruned.
As soon as I entered the living room, I immediately felt the warmth. It turned out that there was a smoking cage. Although it was made of ceramics, it was three feet high. It was decorated with patterns and the slightest trace of heat seeped out.
There was a group of helpers outside, and there were three women inside. Forget it, Ya Po, a quilted dress, which obviously looked like it had been taken care of, but it was full of patches and her face was haggard. There was also a girl, fifteen or sixteen years old, who was timid to follow. What a blessing.
After inspection, the furniture was all new but clean, and rice, vegetables and even dishes were prepared in the kitchen.
"Well done, Ya Po, you go out to have a banquet, and each helper will be rewarded ten cents in addition to their wages." Pei Ziyun knew what he was doing when he looked at the prepared dishes. He just wanted to get some glory - obviously some of the dishes are for rough people.
"Small hall, serve me a banquet."
Immediately, someone served a banquet with four meat and four vegetarian dishes. Although they were not expensive, they were all bright in color and fragrant. Pei Ziyun took a bite and said, "You two can stay, but these clothes are too old, Ya Po." , you take them to buy some clothes and take a shower later."
With that said, he threw out two large ingots and ten taels of official silver: "Is that enough?"
But Ya Po grabbed her and smiled apologetically: "That's enough. Thank you for the reward. You can tell at a glance that the young master is a kind person. He belongs to the third family of the building. He won't go out with me to change clothes. I still need to be decent."
The cook's eyes instantly lit up with sparks of hope, and her voice trembled: "Thank you, Master."
After my husband passed away, I saw that the money was used less and less, and the family became more and more difficult to make ends meet. I was at the end of my rope, and I didn't want this opportunity to turn around.
She bowed deeply and took her daughter out.
When we went out, a table was opened in the garden. Of course, the food was relatively poor, but the helpers also cheered and thanked them. Needless to say, after half an hour, everyone dispersed, and only the mother and daughter were left.
Pei Ziyun took a look, then went to the yard to stretch his body and study the pictures of animals.
"Huh? This is a faint hint of strength."
"Five or six levels can help you become strong internally, seven or eight levels can produce great strength, you can draw a heavy bow, lift boulders, put on armor, and fight in and out of battle formations. You are a brave general."
"I have fought continuously and killed warriors, six cavalry, and Japanese pirates. I may have made some progress." These killings made Pei Ziyun's sword skills refined, and his Guiyuan Jue also made some connections, as if he was going to break through the sixth level.
Now I feel that the powerful force is hidden. According to the description in my memory, this is a sign of breakthrough. I can't help but be overjoyed and hit the big tree. I just heard a "pop" sound and there was a fist mark on the tree. Seeing this fist mark, Pei Ziyun was overjoyed: "Finally." The sixth level is complete, and we have advanced to the seventh level."
In his previous life, he only practiced Taoism but not martial arts. Although he practiced Songyun's swordsmanship, he did not specialize in it. The experience in his previous life was used up here. Pei Ziyun looked at the translucent information box.
"Songyun Guiyuan Jue: Seventh Level."
"Taoist skills: Thirty-one, proficient."
"Matsukaze Swordsmanship: Mastery (Completion 36.1%)"
I thought to myself: "Now that the foundation is complete, the key point is to find Taoism or swordsmanship, so that we can enter the path of immortality. As for Taoism, I haven't broken the Heavenly Gate yet, so it's not suitable to mix it with Taoism, but swordsmanship doesn't matter."
"I have killed so many people, and I am afraid that I will no longer be the miscellaneous soldier I used to be. I must quickly improve my strength, otherwise the next killing calamity may be even more cruel. Just a trip to protect me can turn into a killing journey. What about the journey back on my own?"
Pei Ziyun lived in a peaceful era in his previous life. Even though there were many crises, he still had the illusion of a peaceful and prosperous era.
"Furthermore, the improvement of swordsmanship is getting slower and slower. From the looks of it, if we follow the steps, it will take at least five years to advance to the master level."
"At that time, the cauliflowers were all yellow. I was looking for the sustenance of the Taoist monks, and I quickly improved." As soon as this thought came out, a red seed appeared in front of my eyes, and a new task list unfolded: "Task: Find the sustenance of the Taoism."
"How to find the Taoist sustenance?" Seeing this, Pei Ziyun was not surprised, but just thought: "The original owner hid the Taoist sustenance memory again."
"The so-called entrustment of Taoism is actually the same as knowledge. You are sincere to the Tao, and then you condense the roots of the Tao and place it on something. This is something you can't find, and it is impossible for the Taoist sect to be left outside. Casual practitioners can think of ways."
"Most casual cultivators have to study hard to enter the Tao. There are many ways to enter the Tao. They may obtain Taoist scriptures, or they may be proficient in one discipline. The body and mind blend together to form magic power and become a casual cultivator. The best among them can even show their magical powers." Pei Ziyun paced. I thought for a few steps.
"Yes, I was a casual cultivator for a period of time in my previous life, and I heard some news about some casual cultivators sitting in the state of incarnation." It is said that the Yin Shen real person who opened the Heavenly Gate and cultivated is only 120 years old. In fact, he may not be a hundred years old - various All kinds of things, especially fighting, will destroy your longevity, let alone being killed.
"Although those casual cultivators have great wisdom and perseverance and are able to achieve the goal of opening the Heavenly Gate, they must have taken many detours, so most of them do not live long, and many die in their fifties or sixties. Although I don't know where exactly they are, but according to some rumors, You can look for these relics of casual cultivators, and as long as you find something that has something to rely on, your strength will greatly increase."
"Monk Huichong from Jishi Temple, Taoist Qingsong from Qingxuan Temple, Li Banxian from Lijia Village, etc." There are also some people with scattered memories. These people have passed away, and their strength is among the top casual cultivators. At this time, I wrote them down one by one. If you are not familiar with them, you can only find them by looking for them, and there will be no problem.
With this thought in Pei Ziyun's mind, he immediately went out and arrived at the dental station. Wang Yapo, who was cracking melon seeds and carefully inspecting today's harvest, his eyes lit up and he came up to her: "Mr. Pei, you are here again, what are you dissatisfied with?" ? Or looking for a maid? I just have a few families here who want to find a maid for their daughter. They are all pretty little girls. Do you want to come and take a look? "
Ya Po made a lot of money today. Not only is Mr. Pei young, but he is also extremely generous.
Seeing Ya Po's enthusiasm, Pei Ziyun couldn't help but smile hoarsely and said, "There's no need for maids. A cook and a maid are more than enough. I have something I want you to do for me. If it's done, your benefits will be indispensable."
Pei Ziyun said, and threw away another ten taels of silver. These people in the Yaxing industry have their own connections and clear eyes and ears, otherwise these matters would not be handed over to them.
Ya Po took the money, with a worried look on her face, and whispered: "Young master, could it be that you want to do something illegal? We are an official here and we can't do it."
Private teeth have a special job of pulling strings for married women. Does this young man like this
Seeing Wang Yapo's worries, Pei Ziyun smiled and said: "Haha, Yapo, you are worrying too much. I came to Guanya, which is of course an honest matter. I just admire some Buddhist and Taoist masters. I have a list. You can find them for me." I will reward you greatly for these belongings of an expert."
Pei Ziyun said and handed over two hundred taels of silver notes, both of which were Jingcheng Bank bank notes. There would be no discount for one-to-one exchange.
Ya Po immediately felt relieved and accepted the money without saying a word, saying repeatedly: "Thank you, Master, you are so generous. I will handle this matter and I will definitely live up to your trust."
Ya Po held the banknote tightly in her hand, her big yellow front teeth exposed: "Sir, when do you want it?"
Pei Ziyun thought for a while and said: "It should be fast rather than slow, short rather than long. If you find it and you are short of silver, just come to me."
Of course Pei Ziyun knew that there was a lot of fuss about Ya Po here, and even most of the items found were not sustenance, but as long as he had one, it would be worth it.
Listening to Pei Ziyun's words, Yapo's heart warmed up. This was a big deal. It was a big deal that was rarely encountered once in ten years. It could make a lot of money.
Ya Po glanced at Pei Ziyun and thought to herself: "It seems that Mr. Pei is going to live in the capital. It's not enough to fish all the time. The long-term business cannot ruin the sign, but making 30% of the profit is more than enough."
Then he sent Pei Ziyun out with a smile, turned around and shouted to the little maid beside him: "Xiao Guier, I'm going out with my mother-in-law. We have big business to do."
eldest princess mansion
Close to the imperial city, it was built under the supervision of the Ministry of Industry under the personal command of the emperor. The mansion has carved beams and painted buildings, and even the garden covers an area of one hectare. In the east courtyard of the princess mansion, there is an exquisite small building. You can only smell the fragrance coming out of the building in the wind, and the silk gauze curtains are floating. Piao, the maids who work in this hospital are all young maids. They are all charming and lively, with sweet voices, and they embody all the charm and innocence in the world.
And there were two maids standing at the door downstairs, watering the little princess's flowers and plants in the yard, occasionally laughing, as if they were ringing with crisp silver bells.
"Hey, by the way, what happened to the princess today? She has been locked in the room. Could she be sick?" A maid whispered.
"Hey, our princess is just sick, and all she gets is lovesickness. You worry too much." The maid standing opposite whispered. She is the personal maid of the little princess and knows better.
"Oh, what?! Lovesick?!" The maid who had just asked the question was startled and almost screamed, and quickly covered her mouth.
The emperor's daughter is called the princess, the prince's daughter is called the princess, the princess's daughter is called the county princess, the great-great-granddaughter is called the township monarch, and the son-in-law is a guest of honor, all from the father's line.
In fact, the princess's daughter is no longer considered a royal family and cannot be granted the title of princess. This is the emperor's special decree. This shows his love for her. This marriage is naturally very eye-catching.
"Shh... keep your voice down, keep your voice down, look at my mouth, why can't I stop talking?" The maid who was talking closed her mouth and refused to speak.
"Sister, you don't know what kind of person my sister is? It's just us here. I won't spread the word to others. Just tell me..." The questioning maid's eyes were full of curiosity at this time.
"Well, okay. Actually, I accidentally saw the princess painting in the room today when I was serving tea. I smiled when I saw her painting, and I couldn't help but glance at the painting. Guess she What is the painting?”
"Is he a handsome young man?"
"Ah! Her Royal Highness the eldest princess!" The maids spotted the princess behind them. They covered their mouths in fright and shouted in a low voice. The maids, who were so lost in chatting, realized that the eldest princess had been standing behind them at some point or for how long they had been listening. She was immediately frightened. With a pale face, he knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly: "This slave deserves to die! This slave deserves to die! Please punish me!"
The eldest princess had a bad look on her face and looked at the two of them coldly: "When you talk about the master, you are in charge of your own words. If you continue to gossip like this in the future, the laws of the Princess Mansion are designed for you."
"Pa, pa, pa, pa", the two maids slapped her face hard, and it turned into a pig's head after a few times. I must be secretly grateful for this, because if they didn't really pursue it, they might have been beaten to death. .
The eldest princess walked towards the small building without looking. She had a hidden worry in her heart. The information the emperor gave her yesterday shocked her. This kind of person is too dangerous.
