"It's not bad to be a servant, at least there's food to eat. But her brother is a man, and it's not easy for him to sell himself as a slave, so he can only suffer with us. The world is getting more and more difficult, and I don't know how many years we can support him."
"Ugh……"
"The young lady probably doesn't understand. A lot of people dream of living a life like hers! I have no choice but to do things. I also want this kind of helplessness." Xiaozhu sighed in her heart, but she didn't stop her hands and she didn't complain at all.
In the same room, two people had different thoughts, and they were like splashes of water under the rolling waves, with no control over their fate.
A speck of dust from the times becomes a mountain when it falls on ordinary people, making them irresistible.
"Yingtai!"
... ......... ...
The next moment, the door was pushed open with a creak, and a ray of sunlight shone in, shining on half of Zhu Yingtai's fair face.
Suddenly, half of her face was in shadow, looking eerie, while the other half was in the sun, bright and beautiful.
"Xiaozhu, please go down. I'll take care of this place, Miss."
"Yes, ma'am."
"Mom, is it done?" Zhu Yingtai's heart trembled.
Although blind marriages were the norm in this era, she still found it difficult to accept that she was about to marry a man she knew nothing about.
"It worked, and it didn't work!" Mrs. Zhu picked up the sandalwood comb and combed her daughter's hair. "My daughter is so lucky. She has a chance to go to the fairyland and enjoy happiness. When the time comes, I hope Yingtai won't forget the Zhu family."
"Fairy fate?" Zhu Yingtai was a little confused. She tilted her head and her whole face was in the sunlight.
This is an extremely exquisite face, as if the Creator has given her special favor, which makes her eyes and eyebrows show her alluring beauty and gentle temperament, like a person who has walked out of a fairy.
Looking closely at her figure, she is slender and well-proportioned, and her plain white clothes fully display the elegance of a Jiangnan woman.
"Mother, do you also believe in those superstitious things?" Zhu Yingtai sighed, her heart sinking.
She had some guesses in her mind and thought of bad things, but she was powerless to change it.
How can an ordinary person fight against fate when he is in the game?
She turned her head away, her entire face in shadow, making it impossible to see her sad expression.
Chapter 415 Su Xiaoxiao: Why are there no men going to marry? (5/5, please subscribe)
"I didn't believe those things at first." Madam Zhu's eyes wandered, and no one knew what she was thinking. She combed her daughter's black and smooth hair very skillfully. "But something happened before, so I had to believe it. It was really a miracle, unbelievable."
"Yingtai, you absolutely cannot imagine how bizarre this is!"
Zhu Yingtai didn't feel much emotion or interest when she heard her mother's trembling voice. She just asked casually, "Strange?"
"Yes, it's bizarre!" Madam Zhu became interested, "Your father originally went to the Ma family to propose marriage for you."
"Did Dad go there in person?" Zhu Yingtai was speechless.
Parents to enrich people.
How could a father personally go to a girl's home to arrange a marriage for her? This is too embarrassing and seems too eager.
Madam Zhu sighed, "Don't blame your father. There is no other way. Lately, life has been tough. Your father came to discuss things with the Ma family in person. There is always a layer of separation between us as a matchmaker, so many things are difficult to say without a second thought."
"Oh." Zhu Yingtai responded lightly, "I don't have anything to blame, but it's not good to make father lose face."
"Let's not talk about this disappointing thing." Madam Zhu's mood improved, and her voice suddenly became cheerful. "Speaking of this, it's really bizarre. Your father came to the house in person, but the Ma family said - instead of promising you to the Ma family, it would be better to give you to a Taoist master."
"Promise to a Taoist?" Zhu Yingtai's heart trembled. What kind of nonsense is this!
"Uh... your father got angry when he heard that." Madam Zhu described what happened vividly while combing her hair. "However, the head of the Ma family gave you something that completely changed your father's mind."
Having said this, Madam Zhu paused and took something out from her sleeve.
"This is it!"
"The Great Bright Mantra?" Zhu Yingtai took it and was a little surprised. "What is this? Daddy has never believed in these things. Could it be that he believes it because it was given by the Ma family? Or, can we only agree with the Ma family in order to let them marry into our Zhu family?"
"No." Madam Zhu shook her head. "Read it once first, and then we can continue. I'm afraid you won't believe me even if I just say it with empty words."
"I believe everything my mother says. How could I not believe it?"
Zhu Yingtai's voice was very soft, without any emotion, as if it was a duckweed swaying in the wind, which would be blown away by a gust of wind.
"This mantra is indeed very beneficial. You can recite it first." Madam Zhu knew that her daughter had resentment in her heart, so she did not force her. She just said softly, "Mother, there is no need to lie to you about this matter."
Zhu Yingtai nodded and began to mutter softly.
She had originally felt hopeless, but as she chanted the spell, a light suddenly descended upon her heart, making her feel as if she was walking under the sun, with light all around her.
It seems as if this gloomy world has been illuminated by light.
The people were filled with smiles, there was no more pain, and everyone was free.
"That's great!"
After finishing the spell, Zhu Yingtai felt relaxed all over, and her previous gloomy mood was swept away. Only then did she have the mind to carefully check her own condition.
When she saw this, she was stunned.
"This spell is so magical?" Zhu Yingtai exclaimed, "Not only can it cleanse the dirt in one's heart, but it can also make one strong and healthy. Is there really a magic way to become an immortal in this world?"
Taoism originated in ancient times from the Huang-Lao theory, in which Huang refers to Huangdi, who wrote the Yin Fu Jing.
Taoism originated in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and Zhang Daoling founded Taoism with Taoist thought.
The idea of immortals originated from the Warring States Period between the two.
By the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the belief in immortals had become very popular.
Cultivating immortality and refining elixirs were already well known to the aristocratic families, and people died from taking elixirs from time to time.
"Of course there is no true immortal method in the world." Madam Zhu shook her head, "This method comes from outside the world!"
After that, he told the whole story again.
With the Great Light Mantra to gain people's trust, Zhu Yingtai listened particularly carefully.
"Mother, since that Taoist is a deity, can my daughter really be favored by him?"
"And even if you are selected, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to take care of the Gu family."
Madam Zhu smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about this matter. If you can take care of the Zhu family, it's good. If you can't, just take care of yourself. As long as you stay by the side of the Taoist master, the Ma family will naturally not treat our Zhu family unfairly."
"That's right, mother." Zhu Yingtai nodded gently, "I agree with this matter. Mother, please ask father to reply to the Ma family."
Mrs. Zhu was overjoyed and finished combing her daughter's hair before leaving.
"Since there are immortals, why don't they care about the sufferings of the world? Are all immortals made of clay or wood?" After Mrs. Zhu left, Zhu Yingtai looked up at the sky. A ray of sunlight shone through the window lattice onto her calm eyes. She whispered something shocking.
Chat group.
Ma Wencai: "I have already reached the True Qi Realm, can I clean up the mountains and rivers?"
Su Xiaoxiao: "Of course you can, you don't have any extraordinary power, your current realm is enough."
Komari: "Uh, didn't Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai turn into butterflies in the end? Isn't this a supernatural power?"
Hu Yifei: "Even if that's the case, how strong is it?"
Ma Wencai: "That's true. There is one more thing. Zhu Yingtai admires the Taoist master's style and wants to go to Daluo Heaven to serve him. Is it possible?"
Su Xiaoxiao: "Zhu Yingtai admires Brother Taixuan. What you are saying is that your Ma family is doing good things again, right?"
Komari: "Haha, you ancient people are really peculiar. You really like to give gifts to others. Li Shimin was like this, and so was the Ma family. 0........"
Li Shimin: "Because marriage was the norm in ancient times!"
Su Xiaoxiao: "I'm a little curious, why didn't men marry each other in ancient times? No, it should be marriage for peace!"
Zhao Kuangyin: "In ancient times, when a dynasty changed, the princes and grandchildren were usually killed out, for fear that they would be used by someone with ulterior motives. Sending princes to marry foreign tribes is something that only you modern people can think of. This is simply handing the nuclear weapon button to the enemy. With the name of the orthodox Central Plains, the enemy can attack at any time and inherit your family business in the Central Plains. This is too dangerous!"
Li Shimin: "That's right, Wu Zetian, you know that, right? She married her nephew instead of her son, and then she was beaten by the Later Turks!"
Su Xiaoxiao: "Hey, isn't Wu Zetian very happy with her son? Why does she still care about this!"
Hu Yifei: "No, she doesn't care about her son, but the state. If she marries her son to the Turks, she will lose her prestige as an emperor. How can she rule the country when she loses power and humiliates the country?!"
Hu Yifei: "In addition, the prince of Li Tang has the right to inherit the Tang Dynasty. The Later Turks can use the prince's name to send troops to attack the Great Zhou and inherit the Tang Dynasty. You must know that the Later Turks were quite powerful at the time, with hundreds of thousands of troops. Once the prince was sent over, it would not be a marriage, but a direct creation of a terrible enemy, an enemy who could legitimately inherit the throne of the Tang Dynasty."
Li Shimin: "There is one thing. The prince has been educated in the art of being an emperor since he was young. He is extremely sensitive to politics. Foreign leaders are not confident in keeping such a person around. Once he is too smart, he may stage a coup. Sending the prince over, are you trying to make peace with him or are you trying to disgust him? Not only will it not improve the relationship between the two sides, it may even make them worse."
Su Xiaoxiao: "I understand. Because the prince has the right of inheritance, he is easily exploited and knows how to scheme. He is naturally unstable, like a time bomb. He is not friendly to the Central Plains royal family or foreign leaders!"
Zhu Yuanzhang: "There is one more thing - the princesses who are to be married off may not be princesses. They may be daughters of royal family or ordinary palace maids. The emperor will not feel bad to let them marry off."
Su Xiaoxiao: "Wang Zhaojun: You are talking about me!"
Koumaro: "Having said so much, Brother Taixuan, are you willing to let Zhu Yingtai come over?"
Su Xiaoxiao: "Yes, yes, this is the key point! @张太玄"
Zhang Taixuan: “Why not!”
Komari: "Ah, Brother Taixuan has become a talented man. [Shocked]"
Ma Wencai: "?? I have become an adjective?!"
Zhang Taixuan: "What a fuss! Zhu Yingtai hasn't met Liangshanbo yet, and there won't be any tragedy. That's why I agree! Otherwise, do you think I want to be a bad guy?"
Su Xiaoxiao: "No one?"
Ma Wencai: "The two of them really don't know each other. Miss Zhu has been waiting to be married."
Su Xiaoxiao: "That's fine!"

Daluotian.
In the Qiankun Cauldron, a purple gourd condensed, and a rune rose inside it, emitting vast divine power, and finally converged.
Zhang Taixuan waved his hand lightly and the gourd flew into his hand.
This gourd from the inside out, whether it was the runes or the shape, was forged by him and was extremely close to him.
As soon as it was refined, it gave off a sense of spiritual connection and exuded a friendly feeling.
Zhang Taixuan used his magic power, and after only a moment of refining it, the magic gourd had been refined to the point where it could be used at will.
"The law of the gourd is formed by the convergence of seven kinds of innate spiritual light. You can call it the Seven Treasures Gourd." Zhang Taixuan gently stroked the purple gourd, feeling the gourd's joy, and made it smaller and hung it around his waist.
"Zhu Yingtai is here too. I've heard of her for a long time, why not go and meet her!"
With a wave of his hand, he cleaned up the quiet room, and with a thought, he was already in front of the portal.
The next moment, the portal opened and a woman dressed very formally walked over.
"Who are you?" Zhu Yingtai saw Zhang Taixuan, "Could it be that you are the Taoist Master?"
"That's right." Zhang Taixuan nodded. "Miss Zhu has too many questions in her mind. Why don't you walk with me in Daluotian and talk while we walk?"
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Master." Zhu Yingtai bowed with a gentle look.
It took half a day.
Zhu Yingtai finally understood the chat group and the Taixuan Realm.
"So, the Taoist cannot interfere in my world?" Zhu Yingtai felt a little disappointed.
Zhang Taixuan smiled and said, "It's not impossible, it's just unnecessary. If you want Ma Wencai to treat the Zhu family and the people of the world well, I'll just tell him. I believe he will still give me this face."
"Thank you, Daojun!" Zhu Yingtai felt happy and had a sense of having accomplished her mission.
Zhang Taixuan clapped his hands and called over two fairies.
"This is Miss Zhu. You will serve her from now on."
After that, he turned around and left.
Zhu Yingtai was a little surprised and asked in a low voice: "Doesn't the Taoist favor me?"
"That depends on what Miss Zhu wants." The fairy explained softly, "The Taoist is not an ordinary person. If you don't want to do it, the Taoist won't force you."
"Yes. The master has so many wives, but not one of them doesn't like the master!"
"Miss, just stay in Daluo Heaven. Over time, you will naturally see the heart of the people and know the character of the master."
