The matter of raising Gu went well, but the Five Sacred Beasts were more troublesome. Bi Butterfly has eggs that can hatch, snakes, scorpions, toads, centipedes and spiders, what are these? Gu Lian's flute can't fit the cubs of these things.
Gu Lian tried to summon the twin spirit snakes with the spirit snake drawing skill, and found that the summoned snakes were the same as the ones in the game. If they were not sacrificed by her with Gu worms, or if they died without running out of energy and blood, they would always exist. .
But the problem is, this is an adult snake, she needs a baby snake, and then slowly raise it in a special way.
Gu Lian thought about it for a long time and decided to let these two snakes have offspring.
There are exactly two, and there is no need to pay attention to the mess of consanguineous marriages, and the two are just paired. In the past in the Five Poisons, there were disciples of the Five Poisons who didn't pick the right "snake" and then let the twin snakes digest it internally. In fact, there is no distinction between male and female, and the gender is the same, and they can have children. They can discuss who will give birth to them.
Gu Lian locked them in an environment suitable for breeding, and gave them instructions to inherit the lineage. A month later, the twin snakes laid eggs.
The summoned object can't be too far away from the master, so Gu Lian deliberately didn't go out for a month, and finally got what she wanted. Fortunately, the snakes produced by the system are not so picky about seasons, otherwise they will have to wait for the next spring and summer to mate and lay eggs.
Carefully place the solitary snake eggs in the pre-configured incubator for incubation. It will take more than a month for the snakes to grow. During this period, Gu Lian can deal with the offspring of the other four holy beasts. . There is no object to mate with, except for the spiders that can give birth to their own cubs by default in general games, the other three holy beasts, Gu Lian, can't help them. They can't catch some toads, scorpions and centipedes to mate with them, right? The size doesn't match either, the three of her family are too huge.
In desperation, Gu Lian had to temporarily give up the idea of raising those three. Anyway, twin snakes and spiders are enough, mainly Bi Die, that is the most needed holy beast.
By the time of the New Year, the twin snakes had already broken out of their shells, and the two small snakes were intertwined and wrapped around Gu Lian's wrist, thin and exactly like a bracelet. One green and one white, transparent and beautiful. Spiders were also born, a baby spider the size of a fingertip, lying in the hair, occasionally stretched out its slender legs to reach the little butterfly. The little butterfly stopped on Gu Lian's headdress, like a beautiful ornament. It shook its wings, avoiding the spider's harassment.
"Laba today." Gu Lian looked in the mirror and stretched out his hand to comfort the little butterfly, "Grandma likes to be lively, it seems that I won't be able to come back today, so I have to stay there until evening. Lanxiang Juxiang, take care of the baby Gu insect, Don't let them freeze."
Young Gu insect babies are very active, and sometimes they will clamber to climb out of the glass urn to play. When Gu Lian was there, he would allow them to go out to play for a while, but when Gu Lian was away, it would poison others, and Gu Lian would not allow them to leave the Liuli urn.
Lanxiang and Juxiang knew how powerful it was, and hurriedly responded.
Gu Lian nodded and left the courtyard with the three holy beast cubs.
Today, Mei Xiang followed Gu Lian, and Zhu Xiang had to be responsible for collecting news at all times, so she couldn't get away. Now the situation outside is getting more and more chaotic. The news that the Huns went south to Huaijing a month and a half ago really shocked many people. But I don't know if it's been stable for a long time, and the people in Huaijing didn't take this matter to heart, especially in the twelfth lunar month, they were beaming, as if there was no war in the north at all.
Naturally, the senior officials in the DPRK did not really think that the Huns came to commit crimes like the lower ones. The court had been arguing about this matter for several days, and finally sent a veteran to go out and let him temporarily stabilize the situation.
The Fourth Prince and the others wanted to sack Qiao Mingyu, but unfortunately they didn't succeed. They sent a neutral royalist over there, but no one tried to please them.
Qiao Mingyu didn't need to go to court, she waited for a while to play with her little nephew at the Third Prince's Mansion. After her brother went to court, she could know what happened in the court.
But today was a special day, and everyone didn't want to make too much trouble, so today was fairly peaceful, and the third prince also showed a long-lost smile. Seeing his sister, he took care of the sound and took out a puppet pony from his sleeve: "I remember you liked this when you were young. Today Laba is a gift for you."
Qiao Mingyu has a black line on his head. This is all so many years ago. Brother Huang, you are so unreliable!
When the little nephew next to him saw the red pony, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he stretched out his hand and tugged at the corner of Qiao Mingyu's clothes: "Auntie, Cheng'er wants it."
Qiao Mingyu immediately took the foal and borrowed flowers to offer Buddha to his nephew.
The third prince's face darkened as he quietly glared at his son, it was for his precious sister!
Qiao Ancheng glared at his father, not to be outdone.
When Lingsu entered the door, he saw the father and son staring at each other, and suddenly laughed out loud.
"Mother!" Qiao Ancheng's eyes lit up, and he shouted loudly.
Lingsu almost tripped over the threshold.
The third prince quickly supported him: "Be careful!"
Qiao Mingyu touched the corner of her sore eyes and decided to leave early. To waste time with these two big men, she might as well go home earlier. I'm afraid I won't be able to see Ah Lian today, but she has to choose a gift for Ah Lian. If it wasn't for the emperor's brother who gave her a gift today, she would have almost forgotten that she could take this opportunity to give a gift.
Her Royal Highness the princess left in a hurry, and Qiao Ancheng didn't care if she had a girl, so she didn't cry. He held Lingsu without letting go, and showed his foal like a treasure.
"Gift from my aunt!"
The third prince was so angry that his nose crooked: "I bought it from your father!"
"Aunt's!" Qiao Ancheng raised the bar with him.
"Nizi!" The third prince flung his sleeves and was about to leave, but was held back by Lingsu.
"What do you care about with the child?" Lingsu despised him, and then said to his son, "Let's go, Master will take you to eat Laba porridge."
"I want meat!"
"Without meat, Laba porridge has only beans."
So Qiao Ancheng, who is not fond of meat, suddenly wilted. Laba porridge was not delicious at all, and there was no meat.
…
In Gu's house, the girls sat around the round table, surrounded by the old lady, and each carried a bowl of Laba porridge and drank it slowly.
Early in the morning, I ate a bowl of warm porridge, and my whole body was warmed up.
"This year is not as cold as in previous years." The old lady's body was much better, and she was less afraid of the cold, she said cheerfully.
Gu Yi, who had been busy for several months, finally got out of the invisible man. She smiled and echoed the old lady's words, making the old lady happy. Gu Lian drank the porridge quietly and did not interrupt, leaving her the opportunity to perform.
The two girls in the second room and the third room pouted, not cold in previous years? Nonsense, it is obviously colder than in previous years, and they feel the cold wind biting when they go out, the old lady is really confused!
Seeing Gu Yi's unpromising appearance to please the old lady, the two looked at each other and snorted. They disdain to participate in these, and they are not close to the old lady at all, nor can they get close. My father is a concubine, and the old lady has always regarded it as a thorn in her eyes, so how can she like them.
The sixth girl, Gu Wan, was more silent than before, perhaps because the backer she was relying on was unable to protect herself. She helped Yin to frame her sisters because of her own marriage, but the frame was unsuccessful, but she was caught. Now that Yin is down again, she was terrified. Seeing Gu Lian, who was liked by the elders in the family, including the princess outside, and Gu Yi, who worked hard to please the old lady, Gu Wan only felt that the future was hopeless.
Even if Gu Lian didn't care about her, Gu Yi would not let her go.
The remaining girls were still young and couldn't speak clearly. They ate porridge with all their hearts and minds, and asked Bixi to add them after drinking.
The old lady looked on cheerfully and praised the good girls.
"Eat more so that you can grow faster." For the elderly, they like to watch their children and grandchildren eat more food and play lively, young and energetic.
Gu Lian put down the bowl and wiped his mouth, took the teacup to rinse his mouth, and talked with the girl in the second and third rooms with a light smile. In such a good festival, it's always not good to be left out in the cold. As for Gu Wan, let's forget it.
"Hey, look at my memory." The old lady suddenly stunned and looked at Bixi, "Did you bring Laba porridge to the master? We can't eat only a few of our grandparents."
Bixi hurriedly replied: "I sent it away early, the master only went to the yali after eating porridge."
Originally, I shouldn't go to the government office today, but because of the troubled days recently, it's not good to be absent on some days off. Staying in the yali can be the first to know the news, and it is better to deal with it early.
The old lady nodded with satisfaction: "Where are the second and third children? Where are their daughters-in-law? How many young masters are there, have you sent them?"
"All delivered."
As for the concubines and the Yin family, she wouldn't bother to ask. Wherever the aunt will naturally distribute a small bowl of Laba porridge, the Yin family may not have it.
The Yin family is not too stupid. After being locked up, an old lady came to the Yin family and lost her for two days. Perhaps it was because the old lady was enlightened, or she taught well. In short, Yin Shi started to pray for the old lady after that, and stayed in the Buddhist hall in the main courtyard every day.
Not to mention whether she prayed or not, she did recite the scriptures every day, or she recited it on her knees. It has been rain or shine for the past two months. But for the time being, it seems that the old lady has not been moved, so I don't know how long it will take.
I don't know if Yin's heart is in a hurry now, she will be old in 20 days, and if she is not released at that time, her mistress will really end!
