Mysterious Tang Dynasty

Chapter 207 Newcomer
During the New Year, the stewards who stayed at the Sui Palace, the shopkeepers and guys who stayed at the main store of Zhao Chenji in Chang'an and various branches, the person in charge of the weaving workshop, and the Zhuangtou and others from various farms under the name of the Chen family all brought their own His wife and children went to Saga Mountain to bid farewell to the current young master Li Lijun.

The old servants of the forest farm, the craftsmen and men of the dyeing workshop who lived in the former Dou family forest farm, as well as the new village head of Liujiazhuang also participated in this action.

Nanny Cui and Nanny Lu carefully arranged for these people to test their spiritual roots.However, considering that most of them have duties, it is impossible for them to leave their business and concentrate on cultivation, so they consciously chose their children for the test, and skipped themselves and their wives.

Li Lijun is noncommittal about this, anyway, as long as he can find someone with spiritual roots in the end.Younger children are easier to |teach and learn things faster.

This time, she didn't need to use the banner of "observing the hands" to call people one by one in front of her to test.Except for some familiar shopkeepers, daughters in charge, or the juniors of the two mothers Cui and Lu, no one else has to come to her, and Erhong only needs to bring the black wooden box, the tea tray Juling Array and the Baiyu Township. The three-piece spiritual testing tool, the ruler, can be tested in private without the consent of the children's parents.The reason for the test Erhong can think for herself, anyway, with her first level of Qi Refining, she can already control the Baiyu Zhenru by herself.After the cover-up work is done, even if the parents of those children find it strange afterward, if they ask her about her intentions, she can use words to fool them.

Who would be serious with the most favored maid by the little master's side?

The results of this test were quite encouraging.Erhong found two more children with spiritual roots, one was the granddaughter of the old servant at the forest farm, surnamed Zhao, everyone called her Aunt Zhao; The shopkeeper Lv, the grandfather of Zhao Chenji, just took office as the big shopkeeper of Zhao Chenji after autumn.

Aunt Zhao has the four spiritual roots of earth, wood, water and fire. The spiritual roots are neither thick nor thin, and are at the normal level of the four spiritual roots.

Lu Siyun's spiritual root is even better, it is the three spiritual roots of earth, wood and fire. Although it is a little weak, it is also within the normal range.If he was lucky enough to be discovered by the Taoist Temple of the True Immortal, he might have already been included in the sect and regarded as a candidate for an elite disciple, just like the former Taoist Xuanying.

Li Lijun is very happy to have found two new seedlings.It's a pity that these two people don't live in Saga Mountain Bieye, one lives in the forest farm, and the other lives in Chang'an East City. She wants to transfer them to her side so that it will be convenient for her to teach.

Aunt Zhao's problem is not big. Li Lijun is now the new owner of the forestry farm, and she only needs to give an order, saying that she needs to have a maid by her side, and she can be brought here.It is impossible for her family to disagree.

Lu Siyun was in some trouble.He is the grandson of Shopkeeper Lu. He has been smart since he was a child. I heard that he has studied accounting for several years. He was obviously trained by his grandfather as his heir. What about being a slave?
But Nanny Lu said that this matter is easy to handle.She went to tell her brother in person that she just lacked a credible junior to run errands, and the brother didn't only have this grandson, so she wouldn't refute her.Even if her brother and sister-in-law don't know about cultivating immortals and think that the grandson is here to run errands, but with Madam Lu personally teaching her, the child will be able to be in charge of affairs in the future, and will be in charge of the fourth wife of the Sui Palace. It's no worse than being a shopkeeper in Zhao Chenji's shop, and in the eyes of outsiders, it may be a bit more dignified!
As for whether the shopkeeper Lu's family will find out the truth in the future and complain about Nanny Lu's concealment today... Nanny Lu doesn't care.She felt that her younger brother's family had benefited from this matter, so it would be unreasonable to blame her for not telling the truth!
Ever since she found out that her nephew had spiritual roots, Nanny Lu has been in a joyful mood.If she hadn't known that Nanny Cui's son and grandson, nephew and their children hadn't tested their spiritual roots, and she was afraid that she would be too happy and make people feel sad, she would have shown it more obviously.She is the one who most expects her nephew and grandson to seize this opportunity. From now on, the Lu family will have a god, it's like smoke rising from the ancestor's grave, okay? !
Li Lijun also noticed Cui Mama's sadness.Originally, the two nuns didn't care much about this kind of thing, but now one of them has a blood relative who can practice cultivation, and the other has a bigger family, but has no cultivation seedlings, and it is inevitable that he will be psychologically unstable.What's more, Nanny Lu is about to have a grandnephew, Chenghuan. Nanny Cui's eldest son, Cui Ying, takes his son to stay in Sui Palace. Separation, the more joyful the reunion during the New Year, the more desolate it will be when they are separated after the year.

Li Lijun thought, as a good master, she should pay more attention to the mental state of the servants around her.

Then she came up with an idea: "Simply ask shopkeeper Lu to pick one or two other grandchildren, and Madam Cui also pick one or two young and clever sons from Uncle Ying and Uncle Xiong, plus other grandchildren. Young people who are healthy, quick-witted and able-bodied should form a bodyguard group? Let them stay in our villa and ask someone to teach them how to read, write, bow and horse ride and shoot. Come up to be in charge. I have a lot of general affairs here, and I rely on two nuns to take care of them on weekdays, but the nuns are busy all day long and they are getting older. It is time to train future successors. Besides, I don’t have any It’s very inconvenient for a male steward who can come forward to deal with outsiders. We can’t let Team Ding come forward for everything, can we?”

Nanny Lu hurriedly said: "This is a good idea. It's not that we can't trust Captain Ding, but...he is an outsider after all, and he doesn't know anything. Although he seems to be exiled now, but the palace Just give an order, and he will leave at any time. Wouldn’t we be caught blind by then? Even if the palace sends a new team to come over, I don’t know what character and temperament is, so I dare not let him do things easily!”

Nanny Cui also nodded: "That's very true. Even if Captain Ding is here all the time... it's fine to get on with the business, and you can invite him to come forward for official matters, but if it involves our Zhao Chenji's affairs... invite him It always feels a bit inappropriate to come forward. After all, he is an official ordered by the court, not our own subordinates."

Both nuns agreed that the matter would be easy.Erhong also laughed and said: "Both the two nuns picked their own nephews to come up, so it won't make people mistakenly think that the two nuns are trying to avoid each other, right?"

Everyone couldn't help laughing.

Li Lijun said again: "Mothers, remember to find a few more loyal and healthy young people to take these young people with them, preferably those with strong skills. After they are formed, find someone to teach them boxing, riding and archery. Add some guards for me. Although I don't need this, but there are many female relatives in the family, safety needs to be taken seriously, and we can't rely on the Ding team for everything. There are less than 20 of them in total. If Bieye really has foreign enemies Come to attack, what's the use of relying on them alone? We also need to have our own manpower."

In less than six years, the Anshi Rebellion was about to begin.If she can't stop the war, then Sanyuan County in the Guanzhong area can't escape the flames of war.Mount Saga is not a lofty mountain that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. If she wants to protect herself in a war, the people around her must have some resistance.Otherwise, if her master wants to leave in case of trouble, who will protect everyone from harm?
