Chapter 53: Competing and jealous
The night wind stirs up the branches and leaves on the street, and the fragrance of osmanthus from behind the walls reaches the tip of the nose, which makes people feel that autumn has begun.
Tang Jingyan walked out of the eaves of the west wing with a small wine jar in his arms, stood under the moonlight, and looked up at the distant south.
It has been almost half a year since I left Linhefang, which has grown up since childhood.
I have never traveled far since I was a child. Suddenly I ran so far. Looking back, I felt like a different world.
I remember that every autumn, I would stay alone in the wine shop. After the shop closed, I would bury the newly brewed wine under the old osmanthus tree. When the next year, I would dig out the wine and lay alone on the lounge chair, drinking wine to watch the stars.
Such days look so leisurely, but when you think about it, you feel so lonely.
So when I stand in this foreign land thousands of miles away, I don’t have much thoughts. Even the wine I buried last year will be dug out again.
After recalling the memories for a moment, Tang Jingyan withdrew her wine jar to the osmanthus tree beside the wall, buried her in the digging hole, and turned her head to look at the east wing opposite her.
The windows in the east wing were open, and there were no lights inside, but you could see Wu Qingwan sitting cross-legged on the teacup.
Leng Zhu took a futon and placed it under the eaves, and was also meditating.
She had been practicing for a long time, but Tang Jingyun still felt that practicing was meaningless. After burying the wine jar, she returned to the room. The dumpling was not there and she didn't even have a companion. She could only take the rouge box on the dressing table, leaned against the pillow, and rub it gently.
The rouge box was the "red nectar" given to her by Zuo Lingquan. I have been carrying it for so long, but I have never been willing to use it.
When I saw Rouge Box, I always remembered what Zuo Lingquan looked like every time he came to the restaurant; but since I went underground and saw Rouge Box again, my memories became a scene where the two of them hugged each other underground.
After all, if the rouge is on the lips, it is better for Zuo Lingquan to eat it.
Tang Jingyan pursed her lips, feeling strange in her heart, feeling a little embarrassed to think about these things; but when it was late at night, she couldn't help but think about being pushed to the wall and kissed by Zuo Lingquan.
Unfortunately, that intimate contact was not perfect and was finally interrupted.
As Tang Jingyan thought about it, he naturally remembered the fact that he was taken over.
After tossing and turning on the bed several times, she couldn't help but ask:
"Diet woman, are you here?"
The room was quiet, and so was the mind.
Since the last underground incident, Tang Jingwen has never felt that woman again; she thought it was good at first, but as time passed, she couldn't help but guessing in her heart.
Could it be that the dead woman was kissed and she was shy and dared not show up...
The more Tang Jingyan thought about it, the more he felt it was possible, so he spoke again:
"Damn woman, are you embarrassed to show your head? If you don't speak, I will assume that you are embarrassed."
...
"Oh~ No matter how high the Taoist practice is, it is still a woman's family. If something embarrassing happens, it's normal to be embarrassed. Don't be unwilling to think about it..."
...
"Don't really disappear. At worst, I won't ask you for a phoenix. If you don't come, where will I go to bring reinforcements if something happens to Xiao Zuo in the future..."
"Hey? Sister Shangguan?"
...
I talked to myself for a long time, but there was no response. Instead, the golden bell in the main room rang.
jingle
Tang Jingwen looked up in confusion, but saw a big ball of hair flying out of the window, using her chest as a buffer, and suddenly crashed into her arms.
"Jijijijijijiji~..."
Tuanzi didn't see his master for a month and a half. He was very excited and rolled between Tang Jingyan's chest, constantly arching his head.
Tang Jing's messy thoughts were swept away. She sat up and looked back and forth with the dumplings in both hands. After confirming that there were no scars, her eyes turned fierce:
"Why are you getting fat again? You have grown into balls and still eaten, your claws are almost gone. Are you going to eat them as a New Year pig?"
"Ji~"
Tuanzi turned over and raised his little claws to signal, proving that his legs were quite long and visible.
But Tang Jingyan didn't have the intention to tease the dumplings now. Knowing that Zuo Lingquan was back, she stuffed the dumplings into the quilt and got up and walked outside:
"Sleep honestly. When I came back, I found that you moved and I had no food to eat this month."
"grumble?!"
The dumpling was buried under the bedding. As soon as he showed his head, he quickly got back and screamed in a muffled voice.
Tang Jingwen walked out of the west wing room, Leng Zhu had already run out to open the door, and Wu Qingwan also walked out of the east wing opposite. After seeing her, she smiled and did not rush to go out to greet her.
Seeing this, Tang Jingyan nodded with a blushing face, then lowered her head and quickly walked out of the hanging flower gate.
The door of the house opened, and Leng Zhu was taking some miscellaneous items from Jiang Yi's hand.
Zuo Lingquan stood at the door and was greeting Cheng Jiujiang who heard the news:
"Brother Lingquan, you're back. All the treasures you got last time have been sold out..."
"No need to say that it is so detailed, I can naturally trust Brother Cheng's affairs."
"Haha, what's the harvest this time? His Royal Highness personally takes action, it must be extraordinary..."
"Uh... I couldn't bring back any treasures this time."
“…”
...
Tang Jingyan stood behind the screen wall and raised her eyebrows slightly when she heard this. She went out with Zuo Lingquan last time and dug up a room of treasures. It seemed that she was more wealthy...
Soon, Zuo Lingquan bid farewell to Cheng Jiujiang and took Jiang Yi and Leng Zhu to the screen wall.
Leng Zhu held the package and sword in her arms, and looked secretly at the prince-consort, but comforted her mouth:
"Princess, it's normal for us to not dig up natural treasures. In the past, we went to the mountains to collect herbs, and didn't we often return empty-handed."
Jiang Yi wanted to talk about this after she went back, but after she met Tang Jingyan at the corner, her spirit immediately aroused, she raised her chest and said seriously:
"What nonsense? How could I go out with Zuo Lingquan? I earned two thousand white jade zhu just by rewarding the Demon Enforcement Department."
Tang Jingyan greeted her and took the sword and package from Zuo Lingquan, saying softly:
"It's good that I didn't run away in vain. Last time, Xiao Zuo and I went downstairs, Lao Cheng sold out the goods and received more than 17,000 white jade zhu. With the princess's two thousand, it was almost 20,000, and the family finally had some foundation."
When Zuo Lingquan saw the habit, he smiled; but when he heard these words that seemed to be praise but actually mocking, his eyelids twitched and he didn't dare to interrupt.
As soon as Jiang Yi arrived at Dahuangling, she knew that if she didn't get something for her family this time, her boss's position would definitely not be guaranteed in the future.
Fortunately, Bitan Villa has gained a lot, and Jiang Yi is confident. Faced with Tang Jingyun's offensive of "challenging family status", she was no longer confused and said with a smile:
"The place is too barren. Although I caught a fairy beast, I really couldn't make much money, otherwise my family would be richer."
"Immortal Beast?"
Leng Zhu widened Shui Lingling's eyes, which was a little incredible.
Tang Jingyan didn't know how powerful the fairy beast was, but when she saw Leng Zhu's expression, she knew it was not simple. She turned around and looked around:
"Is that so? Where?"
Jiang Yi pointed to Zuo Lingquan: "He ate it, jumping directly from the second level of Ling Valley to the sixth level of Ling Valley is equivalent to increasing the skill of one hundred years. Isn't it amazing?"
"Sixth level?"
Leng Zhu opened her mouth with a moist mouth, her eyes full of disbelief.
Jiang Yi paid attention to Tang Jingyan's expression and wanted to see this expression on Tang Jingyan's face; but to her surprise, Tang Jingyan was not surprised, but instead blinked blankly:
"I have cultivated to the third level of Ling Valley in a month, and it doesn't feel that it's very difficult. Isn't that easy to use the immortal beast?"?!
Zuo Lingquan and Jiang Yi's expressions were both stunned.
Leng Zhu came to her senses and nodded:
"Yes, Miss Tang's cultivation speed is so scary. She doesn't do anything every day, but she just sees her realm rising, making her aunt embarrassed to go out."
Jiang Yi opened her mouth and thought of saying "Why?", but she couldn't say it and was autistic.
Although Zuo Lingquan was a little shocked, he could understand this speed when he thought of Tang Jingyan's Qi Refining Period.
He raised his hand, put his left hand around Jiang Yi's waist, and his right hand around Tang Jingwei, comforting with a smile:
"Sister Tang may be a phoenix body, with a unique talent, and no matter how fast he practices, it is normal. I am an ordinary person like me. If I don't have the help of the immortal beasts, I have to go from the second level to the sixth level. Not to mention a hundred years, it will definitely take two or three years, and the effect will be very great."
Zuo Lingquan and Xi Nie pulled the frame, so Tang Jingyan naturally stopped discussing who was more "prosperous to his husband". She secretly pushed away the big hand on her buttocks; after she couldn't push it off, she moved it up a little.
When Jiang Yi saw Zuo Lingquan dared to hug her in front of her, she instantly threw away the frustration before her and said in a stare:
"what you do?"
Zuo Lingquan hugged the two women a little tightly and explained:
"It's too dark, I'm afraid you'll fall, so don't think about it."
How could Jiang Yi believe this nonsense? Her face darkened:
"Leng Zhu is also next to her. It's so dark, aren't you afraid that she will fall?"
“…”
Zuo Lingquan was speechless.
Leng Zhu followed with the thing in her arms, and saw this and hurriedly said:
"The princess and Miss Tang chatted and didn't look at the road, I didn't say anything, I was watching the road."
Zuo Lingquan nodded quickly and was very moved by the kind-hearted little cotton jacket's righteousness.
Jiang Yi stared at her eyes, not knowing what to say about the maid who turned her elbows out. After entering the Chuanhua Gate, she saw Wu Qingwan standing at the door of the east wing and was too lazy to pay attention to Zuo Lingquan. She squeezed out of her arms and ran over:
"Auntie, I'm back."
"It's good to be back."
