My whole family cultivated immortality without telling me

Chapter 418 Senior, Spring Rain is as Precious as Oil

Pengcheng Lane.

Lu Mansion.

In the study, the oil lamp is brightly lit.

Three maids were waiting quietly outside the door.

After a while, the sound of footsteps came closer and closer.

The maid saw the person coming and was about to greet him, but Hongmei waved her hand slightly and walked up to him before asking, "When did the master come back?"

"Madam, one stick of incense is enough."

"Who will see you off?"

"It's still that Shen...Mr. Shen."

With the help of the lantern, the blush on the maid's face was clearly visible when she called out "Master Shen".

Hongmei smiled.

"Prepare some snacks from home in the future. Next time Lord Shen comes, we must thank him."

The maid bowed excitedly: "Yes, yes, Madam, we will prepare it right away."

Watching the maid leave, Hongmei felt both amused and annoyed.

"On weekdays, when we ask you to work, you are all reluctant."

After finding a way to drive the animals, she turned her head and looked towards the study with a puzzled look.

"Mr. Shen also sent it back yesterday, but it didn't enter the study..."

After a moment's silence, Hongmei took the tray from the maid behind her and said, "Go to the bathroom to prepare it, and ask the kitchen to warm the chicken soup."

"Madam, you..."

"Go ahead. I'll be waiting here."

The maid was also sensible. She came back not long after she left with a cloak in her hand, which she tied for Hongmei.

The punishment at the end of February, the cool air hits you from time to time.

Hongmei's nose felt itchy, so she walked a few steps away and sneezed lightly.

Before she came back, the study door opened with a creak.

The male and female looked at each other.

"Husband."

"Mei'er, how long have you been waiting? Come in quickly."

"Husband, I just got here too. The ginger soup is still hot. Please drink it first."

When he put his hand on the cloak and felt the coldness, Lu Buxian knew how long Hongmei had been standing there, and hurriedly pulled her into the study.

The study is warm.

Hongmei rubbed her nose to drive away the sneeze, and served Lu Buxian ginger soup.

"I'll come, I'll come."

Lu Buxian pushed Hongmei into the chair, held the covered bowl, scooped a spoonful, put it to his lips to feel it, and then handed it to Hongmei's mouth.

"It's a rare dinner party for the Law Department tonight. It took quite a while. Hongmei shouldn't have waited for me."

"What are you talking about, my husband?" The ginger soup was spicy but sweet. Hongmei took the spoon and fed him back, "You are busy with national affairs. It is Hongmei's responsibility to take good care of your husband."

A small bowl of ginger soup was not enough for two people to drink, but it warmed up the study.

"My husband, are you in trouble?"

"Why does Hongmei ask that?"

Hongmei smiled and said, "If you have nothing on your mind, your husband should go to the main hall."

"It's not a big deal," Lu Buxian thought for a moment and then asked, "How is your business going now?"

The Lu family’s business is a huge platform, but it is not very big.

At first, Hongmei was aroused by Lu Buxian's generous proposal and gift, which made her have lofty ambitions.

Once she moved into Lu's mansion, the strong woman's thoughts became much less.

After spending two or three months in close contact with Lu Buxian, he also learned the skills of a family member of an official - it is okay to do business, but one cannot just focus on making money.

After sorting out her thoughts for a while, Hongmei said softly, "Not bad. We sell at a low profit but in large quantities. We sell products that are needed by the people, so we make quite a profit. Oh, a few days ago, I donated a sum of money in the name of the company. The amount is not much..."

Lu Buxian listened carefully.

After more than ten years of trials and tribulations in the Law Department, even if he does not know how to do business, he can understand the rise and fall of a business, and even life and death, by taking the overall situation into consideration.

Life and death don’t really matter.

For a family of three, the salary from the Ministry of Law is enough to provide them with adequate food and clothing.

After retirement, one can even go one step further, stir up trouble in the world of Heaven's Punishment housekeepers, and pursue a smooth road.

The reason I ask is because of the red plum.

"Are you connected with Yun's Company?"

Hongmei was startled, then nodded and said, "All businesses purchase goods from Yun's, so the relationship is very close, but Yun's management is strict... What does my husband mean?"

"You are mistaken," Lü Buxian said with a smile, "I don't need to give you anything as a gift. Just visit more often on weekdays. Maybe you will gain something."

Hongmei nodded thoughtfully.

"In that case, I will go to your house tomorrow to take a look... Husband, what do you want to see?"

Lu Buxian thought for a moment and said, "You can take a look and ask about anything related to the Immortal City."

Hongmei was full of suspicion, but she didn't ask. She nodded and said, "Okay, husband, it's time to go and rest. You have to go to the government office tomorrow."

"it is good."

chicken soup.

bathroom.

bed.

Lu Buxian kept warm all night, and was then put on a carriage by Hongmei to go to the yamen.

Back in the main hall, Hongmei sat and pondered.

"Husband, it seems like you want me to grab something..."

A quarter of an hour later, the carriage and horses were ready, and she took her two maids and went straight to Yun's Trading Company.

Forbidden martial arts department.

Ministry of Law.

The pace of the Law Department is such that if there are few people, Lu Buxian can handle it, but if there are too many people... Lu Buxian will be too busy to handle it.

Liu Gaosheng and the Tuoba brothers went to the town headquarters to select candidates to guard Xinghai.

Shen Qingyun took Du Kui Mai with him to sort out the information about the Immortal City, the employment of body cultivators, and the certification center, preparing to bring it to Xinghai for His Majesty and the adults to review.

Thanks to the grid method of converting domestic sales to foreign sales and then to domestic sales, data collation has become much easier than before, but there is still too much work to do.

After two busy hours, it was almost noon, and Shen Qingyun put down the form, rubbed his eyes and stretched.

"Almost done, let's go and take a rest."

Ma Yi stood up and staggered as if he had been pardoned.

Du Kui was delighted by what he saw.

"Mai, you need to practice more."

Mai steadied himself and said in a muffled voice, "Brother Shen, why do you focus on my weaknesses?"

"Brother Mai, you don't understand what I said," Shen Qingyun laughed as he walked, "Don't you understand the adults?"

Oh, it’s the work of an adult.

Mai rubbed her nose, leaned over to Lian Zhan's room and called out, "Judge Lian, Governor Li, come out and relax."

“I’m still writing my self-review.”

I started writing yesterday!

Everyone looked at each other.

Mai Yi felt embarrassed and walked into the public housing and said, "Judge Lian, haven't you finished writing yet? I said I would help you write it yesterday. It just so happens that I have some now..."

"No need to help with the letter of apology," Lian Zhan paused and looked at the man, sighing, "I still have more than 2,000 canes in the inner prison. If Mai Yi is interested, go and get them for me."

Li Fei on the opposite side lowered his head into his crotch upon hearing this.

"So many?" Mai thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay, I'll go right away."

"Eh? You..." Lian Zhan was stunned. The man in hemp clothes had already left. "Damn it, he really took it for me. I have to kowtow to him a few times, right?"

Li Fei asked hurriedly, "Judge Lian, in the Ministry of Law's job system, there is also a saying that one should take the blame for others, right?"

When Lian Zhan heard this, his face changed drastically and he got up and started chasing after him.

"Brother Mai, Brother Mai..."

back yard.

Du Kui accompanied Shen Qingyun to make colorful sunshine.

Shen Qingyun was too lazy to shout out one, two, three, four, and Du Kui didn't want to shout out either, but after silently counting a few four beats, he felt something was not right. He could only recite silently in his mind while still chatting with Shen Qingyun.

"Brother Shen, is this the end of the matter with Judge Lian?"

Shen Qingyun had no time to touch his nose after hearing this, so he could only nod and say, "It's better for the adults to come back and beat you up personally."

"Ah, this Judge Lian..." Du Kui wanted to laugh, "I never thought he was so honest."

Then you have to ask, what did Mai use to bribe Ren?

Shen Qingyun was sullen and was about to follow suit and say a few words of praise when someone came over from afar.

"Brother Shen? Brother Shen is really back!"

The person who came was Liu Qian, the horse supervisor.

When Shen Qingyun saw the man, he thought of the donkey and asked with a smile, "Master Liu, how does the kid look?"

"I am here just for this matter." After not seeing each other for more than a month, Liu Qian had gained some weight and looked much more energetic. He said with a smile, "Brother Shen, if you have time, why don't you go over and take a look?"

Shen Qingyun looked at Du Kui.

Du Kui smiled and said, "I'll go and see what's new."

After the New Year, there are a lot more people and livestock in the horse farm.

Most of them are horses and donkeys, both male and female.

Glancing from a distance, Shen Qingyun felt that the scene was so spectacular that it was somewhat eye-catching.

"Master Liu, it looks like we are making pretty fast progress?"

Liu Qian was also a smart man. He understood the meaning of the voice and quickly replied, "Although the pony and donkey have not grown up yet, with the spiritual food supplied by the immortal department, we can see the clues now. Brother Shen will know it at a glance."

When I entered the stable, I saw a strange beast.

His whole body is black and brown, but there is a circle of white hair around his eyes, which is very... cute.

"This is..." Du Kui said in surprise, "I have never heard of it before."

Shen Qingyun had seen a lot of this in his previous life, so he didn't find it strange.

"Looking at its appearance, it looks more like a horse, with high shoulders, slightly short ears, and strong tendons in its limbs. It really looks good."

Liu Qian complimented him, "Brother Shen is indeed an expert. This beast is bold and alert, has great endurance, and is very strong, but its temper is a little bad. Even though it is less than three months old, most three or four-year-old stallions dare not provoke it."

"After eating spiritual food, it will naturally be different." Shen Qingyun asked with a smile, "Have you tried it?"

Speaking of this, Liu Qian's eyes were full of admiration.

"I've tried it. It's a good rider and a good farmer. It's not picky about food, but it eats slowly. Brother Shen, if you breed this beast, it will have a bright future!"

Shen Qingyun smiled and said, "Congratulations to Lord Liu for discovering a treasure for Qin Wu."

Liu Qian was so embarrassed that he waved his hands repeatedly: "It's all thanks to Brother Shen..."

"No, no, no!" Shen Qingyun didn't even have time to hide, and turned around and left. "When Sir Liu is free, please organize the information and submit it to me. I will help you pass it on. Goodbye."

"Hey, Brother Shen, there's one more thing..."

"Self-determination, self-determination..."

Shen Qingyun ran very fast.

Du Kui, however, was full of gossip, and after listening to Liu Qian's words, he hurriedly caught up with him to tell him.

"It's about the Shouyang Mountain."

"Shouyang Mountain?" Shen Qingyun asked doubtfully, "Isn't Shouyang Mountain a place for raising cattle?" In Brother Shen's eyes, the four major sects are not as good as cattle!
Du Kui smiled and said, "I started raising donkeys before the New Year. Now a bunch of them have died, so I sent people to the Forbidden Martial Arts Department to learn from them."

Shen Qingyun was surprised and asked, "Why are you raising a donkey?"

"That's not what I said," Du Kui sighed, "From now on, Qin Wu has lost another treasure."

Shen Qingyun felt a little lost when he heard this.

"I wonder if the company has had time to collect the cattle..."

Even though I don't like it, the feedback from my colleagues in the department is quite good.

More importantly, of course, is the Wuhua Stone of Shouyang Mountain.

"But it's not my turn to worry about this kind of national treasure..."

The two walked around the Koi Lake and saw Mai and Lian Zhan coming towards them.

Mai's expression was normal, but Lian Zhan... kept wiping away tears.

Shen Qingyun and Du Kui looked at each other.

"This is... not being replaced?"

"It should be, but... it's not enough to cry, right?"

After hesitating for a while, Shen Qingyun stepped forward and asked with concern: "Brother Lian, what happened?"

"You, you ask him!"

Shen Qingyun looked at Mai Yi: "Didn't you succeed?"

Mai said in a muffled voice: "Replaced."

Shen Qingyun asked hurriedly: "Are you injured?"

Mai Yi was a little touched: "Thank you for your concern, Brother Shen. My butt is a little itchy."

Oh, praise the hemp clothing for not leaking anything!

"Then..." Shen Qingyun glanced at Lian Zhan, then looked at Mai Yi.

Mai touched his nose and said, "It doesn't count until Commander Mo Da finishes the fight and says he's taking the place."

Then wouldn’t it be a waste?
Shen and Du were shocked.

"Brother Lian is crying because he feels sorry for Mai..."

After figuring out the key points, Shen Qingyun hurriedly said with a smile: "Brother Lian, don't take it to heart. Ma Yi has a strong body. Not to mention two thousand sticks, even four thousand will not be a problem."

"He's fine, but it's me!"

Shen Qingyun was stunned: "What, what's going on?"

Lian Zhan's tears began to flow: "Not only did he get hit for nothing, but I got hit twice as hard!"

"Brother Lian is really enjoying the kickbacks..."

Shen Qingyun could still bear it, but Du Kui beside him ran away like a hen, clucking.

"Judge Lian, don't cry anymore," Mai Yi hesitated for a moment and began to untie his belt, "I'll give you another rope."

A man is going to be beaten with four thousand sticks, and you are going to give him a rope?
Even a rope won’t work!
Shen Qingyun was still complaining when Lian Zhan stopped crying and took the rope with gritted teeth.

"Ma Yi, please don't get involved in this matter."

Mai said with shame: "I am also wrong."

"No, no, no, it's all my fault," Lian Zhan gnashed his teeth, not knowing whether he was expressing his deep regret or blaming someone else. "I am the original sin. I was too stupid. In the future... hehe!"

Brother Lian finally discovered the brilliance of his own humanity...

Shen Qingyun looked at Lian Zhan's back and saluted.

As I was watching, a doubt arose.

"Is the rope that ties the ground so useful?"

After lunch, it was busy again.

"Brother Shen, the forms from Xian City have been sorted out."

Du Kui handed over a stack of copybooks. Shen Qingyun took it, looked at it, and said, "Let's go to the Immortal City for a stroll."

Mai stood up excitedly and looked out the window: "I'm afraid it's going to rain."

"Then Brother Mai will stay and sort it out?"

"Go together, go together!"

Compared to before the New Year, Xian City is even more popular.

Especially after the shops of Guixu Gate, Beast Sect and the Five Sects were completed, their influence expanded several times.

Most of the cultivators coming and going are independent cultivators, but there are also cultivators with sect status who come here because of its reputation.

As soon as Shen Qingyun arrived at the door, he was attracted by a group of monks.

"they are……"

Lu Buxian explained: "It is a patrol team spontaneously organized by the Beast Sect members, led by a deacon to maintain discipline."

Shen Qingyun listened but didn't say anything.

The power to enforce the law is important, of course...

But if the big guys are willing to strengthen mutual trust and make the win-win situation bigger and stronger, then there is nothing wrong with that.

"I guess it's not just the Beast Sect, right?"

Lu Buxian nodded.

"Guixu Sect and the Five Sects are all involved. Each sect will take a ten-day shift. Their main responsibility is to cooperate with the Forbidden Martial Arts Department in management."

That would be even less of a problem.

But there are also problems.

"Judging from this trend," Lü Buxian sighed, "the expansion of Xian City is inevitable. Unfortunately, most of Furong Garden has been occupied. If we move it out, it will be very troublesome."

Shen Qingyun nodded and continued to observe.

The shops in Xian City have long been sold out.

After walking about a hundred feet, he even saw the street stall area which he had never considered before.

The street stall area is divided into squares with white lines, with a stall in each square and numbers written outside the squares.

In addition, there is a black sign hanging in a conspicuous place in the stall with the number written in white letters on it, which corresponds to the square numbers one by one.

"The management is pretty good." Shen Qingyun praised, "Yan and Qiu are getting more and more adept at it."

Lu Buxian smiled and said, "It's mainly because Qiu Jingli is busy here. It is said that Qin Fuyin's people have come here many times, wanting to move the management of the Xianshi street stalls to the newly built Nanshi..."

Shen Qingyun and his group watched and chatted, matching the information recorded in the table with the Xian City one by one.

Just as I was about to walk out of the street stall area, I found that the corner in front was cordoned off.

When I got closer, I saw that there were two stalls surrounded.

There were signs hanging on both stalls.

One of them wrote: "I ask for the way of heaven."

Another book: "Seek the truth from the blind."

Shen Qingyun tasted it and his scalp felt tingling.

"Won't his brains be beaten out?"

He lowered his eyes and looked at his two companions.

"Eh? Is it Senior Tian... Senior Tian Yanzi?"

Lu Buxian was also shocked when he heard this.

But he knew that Shen Qingyun had gone to Motian Market and specially asked an expert to tell his fortune for him, and the fortune was incredibly accurate.

"Really him?"

Shen Qingyun nodded, and hurriedly squeezed into the crowd, while looking at another person...

I didn’t dare to go forward.

"It's that master!"

The person sitting in the stall next to Tian Yanzi was the old man that Shen Qingyun had explored with his spiritual sense at the city gate.

Shen Qingyun didn't know the two's fortune-telling abilities, but if they really came to blows...

"I wonder if Senior Tian Yanzi can figure out that I will be in danger of a bloody disaster..."

Shen Qingyun sighed inwardly, watching and listening to the explanations of the onlookers.

"Which of them came first?"

"You should ask me. I came here earlier. The two of them came together and put up a banner together. As soon as the banner was put up, the two of them confronted each other!"

"One is asking for the truth on behalf of Heaven, the other is asking for the truth from the blind. What a fate!"

"This old monk is not blind, why is he asking a blind man?"

"I didn't expect that the monks would also curse, their level is not as good as mine..."

……

Shen Qingyun listened halfway, then looked at Tian Yanzi and wiped his mouth.

"It's fine if I can't beat him, but it looks like Senior Tian Yanzi never scolded me..."

Before he could think, the two started to confront each other again.

Tian Yanzi suppressed his anger and said, "Since you have no intention of ruining the show, why don't you go to another place?"

The old man said calmly: "No more money."

"There are no less than a hundred people gathered here. If you count any one of them, it will be more than enough to cover the stall fee..."

"Why should I change it?"

"You are obviously targeting me, my friend!"

“It’s good for young people to be confident, but don’t use it in the wrong place.”

"I'm so angry!"

……

Seeing that Tian Yanzi's breath was unstable, Shen Qingyun was afraid of a big mess, so he could only step forward and said with a smile: "I didn't expect to meet Senior Tian Yanzi again here. I am honored to meet you."

Tian Yanzi was impatient at first, and just wanted to take a glance at Shen Qingyun and be done with it...

His gaze swept past and then suddenly turned back, falling on Shen Qingyun.

"It's him?"

The memory of a great shame...disaster emerged, and Tian Yanzi's toes trembled slightly.

But soon, his mind was occupied by another matter.

"At that time, I wanted to settle the score with him, but in the end..."

As a result, we can't see this person's fate at all, and can only turn to others!

At that time, the boss was hanging on the wall behind him, and he was facing a great disaster. He had no time to look around. At this moment...

Tian Yanzi forced a smile: "So it's you, I remember now."

"It is my honor," Shen Qingyun said respectfully, cupping his hands. "If you have time, please move to another place. I will arrange everything."

Glancing at the official robes on Shen Qingyun, Tian Yanzi breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at his opponent beside him, and nodded, "Okay..."

Before he finished his words, he saw his enemy stand up, take down the cover and replace it with another one.

"Ask on behalf of God?!"

Tian Yanzi's face turned pale with anger. He pointed at his old rival and trembled, "Aren't you targeting me on purpose?"

The old man said calmly: "If you had left earlier, I wouldn't have taken it out now. I have tolerated you for a long time."

"I'm so angry!"

Shen Qingyun didn't want to cause trouble, so he hurriedly said, "Senior Tian Yanzi, please calm down. It's going to rain soon. I will lead the way for you..."

"Hmph, I won't bother with you!" Tian Yanzi turned away.

The old man glanced at the sky and said calmly: "You don't have to leave. The rain won't fall."

Tian Yanzi began to shiver again.

Upon hearing this, Shen Qingyun paused and looked up at the sky. After a while, he turned back and smiled at the old man.

"Senior, spring rain is as precious as oil."
