Chapter 22 The new daughter-in-law enters the door(1/3)
The fingers are connected, and the old place is revisited.
Zuo Lingquan pulled Jiang Yi around the corners he had walked, and bought the new bellyband and rouge powder in Xianzhizhai, and also went to Uncle San's house.
Uncle San was the most powerful minister. At the end of the year, he was busy with official duties and could not get out of here. Aunt San was receiving her at home, making a table of food and food, and asked about Zuo Yunting’s situation at the dinner table.
Zuo Lingquan really didn't know the whereabouts of the fifth brother, but with Lao Lu, I thought there would be no trouble, so I just told Aunt San not to worry; Aunt San was open-minded about this, well... Is stupid people lucky?
After saying goodbye to Aunt San, Zuo Lingquan took Xie Qiutao to Qihuang Valley to visit the place where he first set foot on the path of practice.
After the drastic transformation of the sect leader from Jinglu Terrace, Qihuang Valley has now been redesigned. The sect of authentic immortals has hidden among the valleys. There is a dazzling array of immortals markets on the outside. There is also a passage behind the sect, allowing casual cultivators to enter the barren mountain to explore treasures from here, which is a place of experience in the early stages of cultivation.
However, with the sect style, the overall low level of the disciples of Qihuang Valley cannot be changed. The master is only at the fourth level of Ling Valley. The people who support the storefront are the sect leader's family coming from Jingtao, as well as the Liu Chunfeng and his wife who serve as worshipers.
Zuo Lingquan is not a disciple of Qihuang Valley, but he studied in the valley for a while, but Qingwan actually took over as the sect leader and was also in charge of the position of Elder of the Danyufang.
After returning to the sect, Qingwan visited her brothers everywhere, and had to take the junior sister Xiaohua and other apprentices she had taught in the school. The schedule was full, and she didn't even have time to go back to the cliff and steal another fishy smell with Zuo Lingquan.
Because Zuo Lingquan was "deceiving his master and destroying his ancestors", Qingwan refused to let him appear in front of his disciples with him. He took a few girls around the Qihuang Valley, telling the story of the past day and night.
After waiting for a while to visit, it was getting late. The few people did not stay in Qihuang Valley and set off directly to return to their hometown.
The capital city is more than a thousand miles away from Qinghe County. It seemed very far away in the past, but now I have not spent much time when I go back. I didn’t wait until I return to Qinghe County.
As the end of the New Year is approaching, the New Year atmosphere in the county is very strong, and red lanterns are hung at the doors of every household. Many children have set off fireworks and firecrackers in the streets and alleys in advance, and the sound of silk and bamboo in the restaurants along the street is endless.
Zuo Lingquan didn't want to disturb his fellow villagers, so he did not fly into the city on a pleasure boat, and stopped on the Bailu River and hiked home from the pier.
After coming to the secular county town without any fairy spirit, the girls walking together changed a lot.
Zuo Lingquan walked in front to lead the way, Jiang Yi folded her hands around her waist, posing like a virtuous young wife, and walked on the right side with half a step behind, keeping the distance neither far nor close, and even her smile was just right.
Lingye also restrained his high-ranking queen aura, changed into a small jacket and pleated skirt, and a shawl on his shoulders. He was gentle and skillful, but he was not without the manners of being a housewife. Walking on the right side of Zuo Lingquan, he was only half a step away. It was difficult to tell which of the two was the hostess in the family at first glance.
Lingye and Jiang Yi obviously had a competitive attitude, but when they arrived at the door of the house, they were not easy to show it. They just kept their aura secretly and tried to suppress the other party.
Although Qingwan and Jingyan did not clearly compete for the two, they did not mean to be inferior to others. They could not squeeze in front of Zuo Lingquan, so they acted as a tourist and maintained a long distance. Only Leng Zhu followed behind her butt honestly.
Xie Qiutao is Zuo Lingquan's fellow Taoist, so he naturally doesn't care about the positioning issue. He held the big dumpling and looked around the roadside, and unexpectedly said:
"Young Master Zuo, I didn't expect that you are still the young master of the landlord family in the world. You don't enjoy the glory and wealth. Why do you come to practice the Tao? If it were me, I would be a young lady at home honestly..."
Before Zuo Lingquan responded, Jiang Yi muttered:
"Let's find fox Meizi. In the secular world, as the prince-consort, he is strictly controlled. How can he have the opportunity to find those hungry goblins?"
Shangguan Lingye knew that the fairy was referring to her, but when he arrived at the door of his house, he couldn't argue with Jiang Yi, and just pretended that he didn't hear it.
Zuo Lingquan is a celebrity in the county town. He has been handsome and skilled in martial arts since childhood. There is almost no one in the city who doesn't know him.
It is not easy to mobilize a lot of people when returning home in a low-key manner. Zuo Lingquan did not leave the main door, which was full of people last time, and came to the side door that was inclined and knocked on the door.
Dongdong
Soon, the maid in the mansion opened the door and saw Zuo Lingquan coming back. She was naturally happy and hurried into the back house to inform the master's wife. After a moment, Zuo Lingquan heard hurried footsteps and conversations coming from inside:
"Qin'er is back?"
"Well, I also brought a lot of girls..."
"So many?! Lingye is here too?"
"Miss Shangguan is here..."
...
Zuo Lingquan heard my mother's surprise voice, her expression was a little awkward, and she tried to look calm as usual.
Lingye's expression did not change when he heard her name, but Jiang Yi felt her little smugness from the bottom of her heart, as if she was a little taller.
Jiang Yi next to her, as a serious daughter-in-law, naturally felt a little aggrieved, but it was difficult to show it, and she still maintained a virtuous and polite smile.
Compared with the two, Jingyan, who was standing next to him, was much more nervous and at a loss. In the end, she simply hid behind Qingwan; Qingwan also had a nervous expression.
Scream
Soon, the two side doors opened, and Mrs. Zuo walked out from inside with her maid.
Mrs. Zuo opened the door and saw a group of girls with unique looks but equally beautiful like fairies. She was slightly stunned. However, she was mentally prepared and did not show any surprise. After scanning her eyes, she directly placed her eyes on Jiang Yi and bowed:
"The civilian woman Zuo..."
This move scared everyone outside the door.
No matter how brave Jiang Yi was, she didn't dare to let her mother-in-law give a big gift. She hurried forward and held Mrs. Zuo, with some incoherence:
"Hey, Mrs. Zuo... No, mom, how can you salute me? If this is spread, I will have to be stabbed by someone..."
Although Mrs. Zuo had never seen Jiang Yi, as her daughter-in-law, she must have seen the portrait. The salute was also out of respect for the Dadan royal family. Jiang Yi held it, and Mrs. Zuo naturally stopped and turned to hold Jiang Yi's hand, and said with a smile:
"The princess married into my Zuo family. I, as a mother-in-law, didn't even go to the capital to visit. I didn't expect the princess to come first and never greet her. Princess should not be too concerned..."
Jiang Yi was flattered and felt a little aggrieved on the road. She disappeared directly under the courtesy of her mother-in-law. If it weren't for the inappropriate occasion, she would probably be able to hold Mrs. Zuo's arm and say fiercely to Lingye:
"Where do you see, who is the daughter-in-law of the Zuo family?"
When Mrs. Zuo went out to pick up people, she naturally would not neglect other girls who came to her. After a few greetings, she looked at Lingye next to her:
"Miss Shangguan is here too. Since I left last time, I have been talking at home, thinking about whether you will come back during the New Year. I didn't expect that my true wishes will come true..."
Shangguan Lingye's demeanor was impeccable. He stepped forward and bowed, and said directly:
"Mom, just call me Lingye."
“Hey…”
As soon as these words were said, not only Mrs. Zuo, but also several other women were stunned. Unexpectedly, Lingye changed his words so quickly and his face remained unchanged.
Mrs. Zuo had already fallen in love with Lingye. When she heard this, she naturally smiled so hard that her eyes were almost closed. She pulled Lingye over and said in surprise and joy:
"This brat doesn't say hello to my mother in advance..."
Jiang Yi felt that Shangguan Lingye was so thick-skinned, but she didn't dare to say anything at this time. She just held Mrs. Zuo's arm so that Mrs. Zuo would not let her go aside when she was happy.
After Mrs. Zuo was concerned for a few words, her eyes turned to Qingwan and Jingyan standing together.
Qingwan and Jingyan are not as powerful as Lingye. They don’t dare to open their minds and call them mother.
Qingwan hesitated for a moment, bent over and bowed, and said softly:
"I...I am the princess' cousin, so Aunt Zuo just calls me Qingwan, well... the princess is timid, so she called me..."
Hesitantly, not knowing how to explain his relationship with Zuo Lingquan.
Mrs. Zuo understood this way, and smiled and said a few words, then looked at Jingyan again.
Although Tang Jingyan did not have any inconvenience in his identity, as an unmarried girl, she always couldn't speak up when she came to get married. She lowered her head and glanced at Zuo Lingquan.
Zuo Lingquan smiled brightly and continued, "This is a quiet habit. The girls I met in the capital are all coming back to see my mother during the New Year."
When Mrs. Zuo saw Zuo Lingquan's expression, she understood what was going on. She nodded slightly and looked at Xie Qiutao again:
"So too..."
Xie Qiutao dared not be misunderstood and said quickly:
"Hello Aunt Zuo, I am just Mr. Zuo's friend. It's different from them. Don't get me wrong."
"Ha ha……"
The teasing tone attracted a burst of laughter.
There are other families in the alley. Zuo Lingquan is afraid that everyone in the city will know tomorrow that the seventh young master of the Zuo family is a lewd embryo, so he brought back a large group of girls and wanted his mother to go in and talk in detail.
But as soon as Zuo Lingquan climbed the steps, Mrs. Zuo frowned and looked at the road outside the door:
"Those two girls also came with you, right? Why don't you ask them to come?"
"Um?"
Zuo Lingquan and the girls were stunned. They looked for no reason and found that there were two more women on the side of the road not far from the few people.
Two women stood side by side, the woman on the left was extremely tall and wearing a warm yellow winter skirt.
The loose dress is difficult to cover up the curve of a woman's flawless figure. She is like ink long hair tied up with a simple jade hairpin and tied up a simple bun. She does not have any makeup on her face, but it is enough to amazed the world's face and does not need appearance accessories to set off. The sharp eyes that originally looked down on all living beings, after hiding the sharpness of it, only the mature and intellectual charm is left, which makes people unforgettable to see it.
Although the woman on the right had a slightly inferior aura, her appearance was not pressed into the green leaves that set off.
It is still a dark green dress, but the spring skirt is changed to a winter skirt. The hairpin is inserted between the bun, which moistens the smile on the cheeks, and is born with a sense of intimacy. Although the height is different from the woman next to it, the gourd-like figure is still eye-catching, with round pearls and jade moist shoulders and round buttocks. In the saying goes, it is a blessing to look at it, which is prosperous for the husband and cannot tolerate people dislike it.
The two women were standing quietly, but after Mrs. Zuo spoke, they walked slowly over.
Zuo Lingquan was full of surprise. Unexpectedly, the ancestor really came over. The Taohua Lord actually came to the door together, and he didn't know how to greet him for a while.
Jiang Yi and Shangguan Lingye, who were still competing in secret just now, instantly broke their efforts, and it was difficult to show the suppression of the head of the family. They all subconsciously stood a little more rules.
Shangguan Lingye did not expect that the master would be present, and instinctively wanted to bow down and salute, but the ancestor Shangguan who came over spoke first:
"Aunt Zuo, I am Lingye's sister, just call me Yutang."
elder sister?
Shangguan Lingye was confused and didn't dare to agree.
Zuo Lingquan was a little caught off guard, but he reacted quickly. He couldn't say that this was Lingye's three thousand-year-old master, and he followed the words:
To be continued...
