The Ninth Lady is a rebellious person.

Chapter 182 Treating Langjiu as the Head of the Second House

After some argument between Lang Jiuchuan and Apia, Lang Jiuchuan took away some main ingredients for making soul incense and returned home with Lang Caimeng, feeling satisfied.

Apia watched her leave, then looked at the soul incense in his hand, thought for a while, then went to the back hall and entered the vermilion door.

The door leads to another world.

The ghost general entered the ancient tomb with the soul incense. The man sitting cross-legged in front of the seven-colored lotus soul-nourishing lamp opened his eyes, glanced at the box, and snorted coldly, not knowing what he was thinking about.

"Light one." Feng Ya ordered in a deep voice.

The ghost general opened the box, took out a soul incense and lit it, and was a little surprised when he smelled the aroma and golden talisman power emanating from the incense, and placed it in front of his master.

The smoke from the soul incense rose straight up and burned rapidly.

The ghost general saw that his master's soul had become stronger after losing countless soul power, so he quickly lit another one.

Feng Ya inhaled three soul incense sticks in succession before stopping. He looked at the soul in the soul lamp in front of him with a helpless expression and said, "Light one in front of the soul lamp."

"Master, keep it for your use."

Feng Ya glanced over with a cold look, an expression that brooked no rejection.

The ghost general had no choice but to light one and place it in front of the soul lamp, then looked at the soul that had already taken shape in the soul lamp with some resentment. Why?
"Why are you in such a hurry? Ask Apia to give her the materials for making incense, and she will naturally have the incense." Feng Ya closed his eyes and said, "Go out and tell them to leave two for him."

The ghost general agreed, took out two soul incense sticks and walked out, then looked back, but seeing that his master's soul power was still continuously connected to the soul lamp, he couldn't help but sigh.

Apia quickly came out from the vermilion door, staring at the only two soul incense sticks left in his hand in a daze. What did Lang Jiuchuan say before, asking him to do it with her? Could he go back on his word now?
Bah, bah, bah, what are you imagining? Look at what you are capable of. The master is his life!
"Xiao Diao, go tidy up the warehouse and clear out all the fragrant nanmu, agarwood powder and cinnabar. Don't keep the defective ones..." Apia called the hanged ghost and gave orders repeatedly.

Kaiping Marquis Mansion.

Lang Cai called out to Lang Jiuchuan, wanting to say something but stopping himself, and raised the fist-sized pearl in his hand. The shopkeeper surnamed A saw him admiring it and forced the pearl into his hands, asking him to take it away. He had no choice but to accept it, and the key point was that he didn't want money.

Lang Jiuchuan took a look and said, "Tongtian Tower doesn't need this night-shining pearl. Give it to Xuan'er to play with."

Making soul incense is not easy, it consumes a lot of energy and effort.

She turned around and took Jianlan back to the courtyard.

Lang Caimeng was disheveled and dazed in the cold wind. It was not until the servant told him that it was snowing that he looked up at the snowflakes.

Who says that those who grew up in Zhuangzi have a narrow vision and a small mind? Ninth sister is the one who treats those things as dirt!

Lang Jiuchuan returned to the courtyard and asked Jianlan to put the spices in the warehouse. She washed up again, had a meal, and went to Shoukang Hall to pay her respects to the old lady.

Old Madam Lang was sober for a rare moment. She looked at her for a while, then reached out to touch her face and smiled kindly, "Is the lamp lit? Your father is in heaven and will protect you."

Lang Jiuchuan was stunned for a moment and nodded.

Old Madam Lang held her hand and closed her eyes, and soon her breathing became long. Lang Jiuchuan covered the old lady with a blanket, looked at Nanny Wang and said, "I'll ask Jianlan to bring some pills over later. They are some medicines to strengthen her body. Just give her one pill a day."

"The Ninth Miss is pure and filial, and the old lady knows it in her heart."

Lang Jiuchuan took out a peace amulet from his sleeve and handed it over: "You are blessed and will have a healthy old age. Give this amulet to your grandson to ensure that he will be safe when he goes out."

Nanny Wang was startled, then took it and bowed to her: "Thank you very much, Ninth Miss, for your concern. I will ask the boy to kowtow to you later."

Lang Jiuchuan smiled and waved his hand, then asked someone to pass on the message and went to Lang Zhengping's study.

When Lang Zhengping saw her, he put down the teacup in his hand and asked anxiously, "How come there is a murder case in Huguo Temple? Are you and your mother okay? Why did I hear that you had a conflict with the girl from the Qi family, and the temple was robbed?"

"It was me who caused this. Fourth Miss Qi was good friends with Qi Xinyu. When Qi Xinyu died, she wanted to avenge her, so she forcibly seized the courtyard to humiliate me. Madam has suffered an unprovoked disaster."

Lang Zhengping sneered, "What's the point of being friendly? How can the Qi family look down on the Qi family who made their fortune lately? The so-called friendly relationship is just because the girl from the Qi family has a sister who is a young lady in the Xuan clan? Robbing the Zen temple is just bullying. This is also my fault. I am not as powerful as others, and I don't have a title, so you and your daughter have been wronged."

If he had the power and ability, he would have snatched the place from the girl from the Qi family if he wanted to. But the Huguo Temple handed over the Zen temple that the Lang family had reserved a long time ago without even saying a word. Isn't it just treating people differently?

This is the class, and the nobles are also divided into different levels.

Lang Jiuchuan said, "It's just a Zen temple, not worth mentioning. Regarding the matter of the title, I met Lord Shen in the temple. He said that he and Uncle Zhao have asked the royal family for an order many times. After the seal is opened, the order for the title will probably be issued."

Lang Zhengping was delighted and said, "It is also thanks to you that Shen Qinghe helped to speak up."

"However, the Lang family has been lacking talent for many years and has been on the edge. It is estimated that they will be demoted." Lang Jiuchuan pursed his lips and said, "The Zhongyong Marquis's Mansion has a royal concubine. Although Qi Si's death has nothing to do with us, it does not prevent the Zhongyong Marquis's Mansion from venting their anger. If the royal concubine shows some eye drops, it is likely that she will be demoted."

Lang Zhengping waved his hands and said with a wry smile: "I had expected the demotion. It's not your fault. It's because we men are useless and can't protect our ancestors' foundation."

"It's not too late to wake up now." Lang Jiuchuan said, "It's the time of mourning. There are so many brothers in the family. If they learn both civil and martial arts, there will be no one who can't show off. If there is really no one, let them get married and have children when they are old enough, and teach the grandchildren. As long as there are talented people, they can always be promoted to a higher rank. If there are great talents, it is not impossible for one family to have two ranks."

Lang Zhengping's mouth twitched: "What kind of sesame seeds are sprinkled on this pancake of yours? It smells so good. I don't know if I can eat it even if I force it."

Also, how could a little girl like her not blush at all when talking about her own child? It was like she was just saying it casually, as if she was talking about a hen laying eggs.

However, she was right. If you don't have any ability, you should get married first and then start a career. If you have a large family and raise a child, you will have the confidence.

Speaking of this family, Lang Zhengping thought of the adopted son of the second wife, looked at her, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Lang Jiuchuan saw it and said, "If you have something to say, just say it."

Lang Zhengping said: "First of all, it's not that I, as the eldest uncle, covet anything, nor do I dislike anything. I absolutely don't have such thoughts..."

"You've been talking too much. Let's get to the point." Lang Jiuchuan interrupted him. She was very busy.

Lang Zhengping choked, stroked his beard angrily, and said, "Then I will regard you as the head of the second branch. It's about the matter of your second branch adopting an heir. What do you think, how should this be done?"
