Mysterious Tang Dynasty

Chapter 206 New Years
Qiuxiang ran into the main house, only to find that the little lady Li Lijun didn't call her, and she knew in her heart that it was Mother Lu who found an excuse to rescue her when she saw that she was being entangled by her mother.

She knew in her heart that it was good or bad, so she ran to thank Madam Lu.

Nanny Lu didn't say much, just knocked her a few words: "You have been serving the little lady for so long, you should know the rules in the main house in your heart. No matter whether it is you or your mother who came, you should not say You are not allowed to say a single word! Don’t even think about any thoughts that you shouldn’t have! Don’t think that you can ignore the rules because you have spiritual roots. If your spiritual roots don’t have small If the lady is here, no one cares about it at all, don't take yourself too seriously!"

Qiuxiang bowed her head and replied: "Mama's teaching is right, and I understand it in my heart. As long as I stand firm beside Fourth Lady, I will have the same future as anyone else. Only when I get well can my family members follow suit. If I'm not good , they will never be able to get ahead. My mother has no experience and doesn't understand this truth, but I can tell the seriousness of the matter."

After hearing this, Mother Lu's expression softened a lot: "It's good that you know what's in your heart. Then go down, so that you can practice hard and don't disappoint the little lady's intentions."

Qiuxiang complied and retreated obediently.

She really understands what she should do, not just responding in front of Nanny Lu.Although she used to only know how to bury her head in work, she was taught by Erhong for two years, and now her fourth wife, Li Lijun, taught her the skills of cultivating immortals, and occasionally taught her some principles of life. She is no longer what she used to be. You silly girl who doesn't understand.

She clearly knew that her spiritual roots were useless, and she had no hope of becoming a god.If Si Niangzi hadn't found only two people with spiritual roots among the people around her, she might have been abandoned and become a mortal for the rest of her life.Now Si Niangzi still has a lot of people with untested spiritual roots. If one or two of them find out that their spiritual roots are better than hers, she will no longer be popular.Therefore, not only can she not float, but she has to study and practice even harder, so that Fourth Lady can never give up on her!
Now that she has embarked on the road of cultivation, as long as she does not make mistakes in the future, she will be able to be a decent maid by Si Niangzi's side for the rest of her life, without worrying about anything.She doesn't have to worry about making her family angry and her life will be bad. On the contrary, her family needs to rely on her.Her mother doesn't know anything, so what's the point of talking too much?As long as the family gets tangible benefits, her mother will naturally shut up.

Qiuxiang knew that her mother had always hoped that the family members would become famous.When she was young, her mother was a tea-making maid in the tea room. She was quite pretty, and she fell in love with the only son Cang Dalang, who was in charge of the tea room. The two agreed to get engaged and even exchanged tokens.But at that time, the eldest maid next to the concubine Dayang, who had just married into the Sui Palace, fell in love with Cang Dalang, and she insisted on slashing her love, cutting off the marriage. After the marriage, she quickly kicked Qiuxiang's mother out of the waiter , promised her to the groom within two days.Afterwards, her family was repeatedly oppressed by Mrs. Cang, and every time she had the opportunity to change to a better job, she would always fall through the cracks.The reason why they defected to the second heir concubine Chen's command was also because Chen's was the only place in the Sui Palace that would not suppress them because of Cang Niangzi's words.For this reason, they would rather follow Si Niangzi to Mount Saga than stay in the Sui Palace to suffer.

Qiuxiang knew clearly that the opportunity for her family to change fortunes had come.No matter what her mother said, she must seize this opportunity!This is not only for their family, but also for herself.Therefore, she would not do anything that might offend Fourth Lady Li Lijun!

Seeing Qiuxiang leave, Nanny Lu couldn't help muttering to Nanny Cui when she turned her head: "I thought Qiuxiang was a stupid girl when she looked at her in a daze before. Looking at her now, she is still a sensible person."

Mother Cui laughed and said, "He's not stupid in the first place, but he's always been used to rough work, and he's unremarkable, so you can't look down on him. Now the little lady brings people up to teach people to read and write. He also brought people to practice martial arts. He eats well, grows taller, and his face is much fairer. If the little lady takes care of him personally, won't he look smart? Don't underestimate him, anyway. He is also a seedling who can cultivate immortality!"

Nanny Lu curled her lips: "She is a discounted seedling, and she can't compare with a good seedling like Er Hong."

Nanny Cui said: "It's good to have a seedling. You can't compare her with Erhong in everything. Besides, Erhong's endorsement is very difficult. It's not as good as Qiuxiang who can sit still and hold her temper."

Nanny Lu sighed: "Erhong has been strong and loyal since she was a child, and she can read a few words roughly. This is enough to be a maid beside the little lady. Who would have thought that she would still need to memorize and read? What? In fact, Shi Qing is smarter than her, learning to draw talismans is several times faster than her, but Shi Qing has no spiritual roots, so she can't cultivate immortals. Why can't people understand God's actions?"

"It's all fate!" Nanny Cui patted her on the shoulder, "We are all unable to cultivate immortals, so we don't need to think about it. With this skill, it's better to take care of the New Year's affairs. There will be many people Come to Bieye to pay New Year's greetings to the little lady, we still have to find an opportunity to let these people test the spiritual root secretly, without arousing their suspicion. This is not easy to handle!"

Nanny Lu immediately lifted her spirits: "It's difficult things that can show the skills of our old sisters! I don't believe that with so many of us, we can't find a few more good seedlings who can cultivate immortals?! "

The two nuns tried their best to manage the first New Year in the Saga Mountain Bieye properly, without losing the joy of the New Year, and also taking into account the fact that the little lady Li Lijun still has filial piety .Except for some people in the guards who asked for leave to go back to Chang'an to visit relatives, everyone else gathered in the outskirts of Bieye and happily ate the annual banquet. There was no shortage of meat or anything, but they couldn't drink alcohol.But when everyone is not on duty, no one stops them from gathering and drinking in private in their own rooms.

It's a different scene in Bieye's house.The houses were all cleaned up, and the peach charms were replaced. There was no red hanging brocade, but fresh potted flowers were placed around the house, showing vitality in winter.Several confidantes surrounded Li Lijun, sitting cross-legged on the big kang in the Westinghouse, having a delicious New Year’s Eve dinner together, the dishes were carefully prepared, nutritious and not taboo, and there were several kinds of jiaoer with different fillings Make the main course.

Before the New Year's Eve dinner, Li Lijun took Erhong to the cemetery in Xilu once to burn incense and prepare offerings for his mother, Mrs. Chen.Now back home, seeing everyone in a happy mood, talking and laughing, she was also quite happy in her heart.

When talking about her New Year's wishes, she wished that everyone would be healthy, free from disease and disaster, and that everything would go smoothly. At the same time, she also hoped that her cultivation could be improved to a higher level.Finally, she did not forget to mention Erhong and Qiuxiang: "After the beginning of spring, we may have new partners. At that time, you should practice more diligently. I will arrange practical courses for you. Especially Erhong , you are a big sister, don't show your timidity in front of the new juniors!"

Er Hong had the expression of being struck by lightning, and with a bitter face, he forced a smile: "Yes, little lady, I... I will..."
