Whoosh ~ bang

Fireworks rose from outside the courtyard wall with Yuwei, bursting out brilliant light in the night sky, illuminating every corner of the mansion.

The laughter of the distance and the sound of the children running and jumping behind the walls have been mixed together to create a fireworks on earth that is difficult for people on the mountain to experience.

In the courtyard with thin snow, Shangguan Laozu, wearing a goose yellow winter skirt, sat at the stone table, looking up at the sky, trying to recall the last time he watched the fireworks like this.

But after thinking about it for a long time, Shangguan's ancestor suddenly realized that he had been floating and falling in the world for thousands of years, and had seen countless things on the mountain. It was the first time he sat at home like a woman in the secular world watching the fireworks.

The Lord of Peach Blossom was born in a wealthy family. His childhood was much happier than the ancestor Shangguan who came out of the wild mountains. However, when he sat in the back house again, looking at the brilliant fireworks in the sky, he also felt a little bit like a different world:

"I remember that firecrackers were made by the people of the world to scare monsters? I didn't pay attention to it before, but now I look at it, it's really beautiful."

"yes."

"In practicing, people should not forget their original aspirations and not regard themselves as human beings. Now that we think about it, we are still getting further and further away from the mortal world."

"That's you."??

The Lord of Peach Blossoms sighed for a moment, and the brewing artistic conception was dissatisfied by the ancient ancestor. She turned her head and said dissatisfied:

"Goddess, I am your elder sister here, please be careful when speaking."

Old Zu Shangguan withdrew his gaze, played with the green jade bracelet in his hand, and said calmly:

"You came here without invitation, and you have given you face before you sabotage your face. If you dare to regard yourself as your sister, I will send you back now."

"Zuo Lingquan is also my junior. You can come, why can't I come?"

The Lord of Peach Blossom looked at the bracelet in the hand of the ancestor and sarcastically said: "You have the nerve to ask for something for your daughter-in-law."

"You won't take it too."

"You took it all, why can't I take it?"

The Lord of Peach Blossom was talking when suddenly he felt something and looked towards the east courtyard.

Although they were separated by several courtyard walls, they could still see Zuo Lingquan coming out of the east courtyard and walking into the veranda; Mrs. Zuo stood at the corner of the veranda and arranged things for the maid.

Zuo Lingquan quickly came to the front, and just as he was about to shout "Mom", his ears were grabbed by Mrs. Zuo. The kind smile on Mrs. Zuo's face disappeared completely, and he said:

"Boy, are you capable? I have only been out for a few days and brought seven girls back, plus eight maids..."

Zuo Lingquan didn't dare to hide, so he turned his head and asked my mother to pull her ears, and said with a smile: "Mom, am I thinking about the incense of the Zuo family? You used to urge me to bring my wife back..."

When the Lord of Peach Blossom saw this scene, he couldn't help laughing "puff":

"This kid deserves it, you're lustful..."

Old Ancestor Shangguan also smiled, but his eyes were a little complicated, to be precise, envious. She remembered that she was playful when she was a child. When she was late, her mother would also pull her ears like this. Unfortunately, she can't even remember her mother's appearance now.

In the corridor, Mrs. Zuo's voice came one after another:

"You don't say hello in advance if you bring it back. My mother was not prepared at all. Today I was almost anxious to find the gift. Your grandma gave me four pieces of jewelry in total. I originally left beaded hairpins for the princess and pendants and earrings for the granddaughter, but it turned out that it was not enough to send it all out today. I also wanted to bring your second aunt and fourth aunt's bracelets...

"You didn't see your aunts like you, and you didn't want to give it at all. I just told you to come. You were alone and you gave away the jewelry. What should you do if you only have a few cousins ​​bring your wife home?"

"Mom, don't give it all..."

"You didn't say hello, how can I know who gave it to me if I don't? I'll make trouble for you if I treat the girl badly. Don't you blame me for my mother? Next time I take the girl home, if I don't say hello, I won't care. You can find a way for yourself..."

"Did Yutang and Miss Yingying give it too?"

"I gave it to you, mom doesn't know what your relationship is. Can the girl come to her house by herself and still treat her as a guest?"

"Did they take it?"

"If someone refuses the gift, you have to give it to them. There is no reason why you don't want it. It took a lot of effort to stuff it into their hands..."

...

When the two lords heard this, they felt a little ashamed in their eyes that they knew the meaning of the meeting gift. They didn't want to accept it, but after dealing with them for a long time, they were really unacceptable to this kind of politeness like pushing red envelopes. They couldn't resist Mrs. Zuo, so they had to take it in the end, and even Xie Qiutao took one.

"...That's the treasures of your aunts. You have given all the things, don't be unfair."

"Oh, those two girls and me..."

"Are you still afraid that you will not be worthy of it? You are my son. What kind of girl is not worthy of it? You have to find a way to do it. If you don't work hard, you still expect a girl to pay you?"

"Forehead……"

"Why? You have to catch these two girls. The girl Yutang is obviously a well-mannered person. When she comes here today, the other little girls dare not say anything. As long as you catch her, are you still afraid that you will not be able to suppress the little girls in the back house? The family can be prosperous. If there is no woman in the family, you can just wait and suffer..."

...

When the Lord Taohua heard this, he couldn't help laughing and looked at the Shangguan Ancestor next to him:

"Dear, have you heard that the head lady has made all your reservations for you. Why don't you give me the position of the elder to me and just live here?"

The ancestor Shangguan didn't want to listen to others chatting in private, but the distance was so close that it was no different for her to yell at her ears, and it was hard not to hear it. Her expression was as calm as usual, and she responded:

"It's better than you."

"Hmm? What's better than me?"

The Lord of Peach Blossom was a little confused, but immediately heard Mrs. Zuo say:

"... And that girl Yingying, who is so good at giving birth, looks like a good husband. I think she is lively and talkative, and should be the kind who doesn't listen to men, but as long as you ask her to have a few babies with her, she will naturally calm down and ensure that she obeys you, and will not fight back if she beats her and scolds her..."??

The Lord of Peach Blossoms is full of black lines.

The ancestor Shangguan said softly, "Mrs. Zuo is so accurate in judging people. No wonder he has a son like Zuo Lingquan."

"What's the right way? I'm like a man who obeys men?"

"Who knows, maybe."

The Lord of Peach Blossom was too lazy to defend himself with the ancestor Shangguan, and did not eavesdrop on Mrs. Zuo's teachings anymore. He took off the bracelet on his wrist and put it into his sleeve.

Old Ancestor Shangguan had some worries. After a moment of silence, he spoke:

"By the way, in a few days, I will close the six consciousnesses and retreat. You can help me protect the Tao, and the favors of you who protect the Tao a few days ago will be cleared."

Close the six consciousnesses and retreat is equivalent to removing all perceptions and entering a state of selflessness. When encountering a sneak attack, the person who reacts a little slower will be gone. Cultivators in the low realm can still find a safe cave, but the immortals who have reached the top have no shelter. They do not want to run to the ends of the world to hide, so they can only find trusted people to protect the way. Generally, they will only do this when they are rushing to the realm.

When the Lord of Peach Blossom heard this, his eyes were filled with surprise:

"You are old and immortal, and you are about to break the realm again? No, you are going to break the realm again..."

Old Zu Shangguan shook his head: "There is a hidden wound on his body and needs careful conditioning, and it will take only one night."

The Lord of Peach Blossoms didn't believe it. When she reached her level, she wouldn't even beware of the mental strength outside her body. However, Old Ancestor Shangguan walked higher than her, and she didn't know what was going on above. Thinking about it, she nodded:

"Okay. But this is not a favor last time. Last time I quelled the troubles for Yuyaozhou, it is worth it for you to send me back. This time you owe me a favor."

The ancestor Shangguan didn't want his body to react, and when he was with Tang Jingyan, he could only disconnect his body and soul. Although this move could only temporarily alleviate the urgent need, Tang Jingyan would still not be able to escape when he went to the room next time, but it would be better than to have spring in front of the Lord of Peach Blossom. She nodded and said:

"Okay, I owe you a favor."

“I want to pay it back.”

"nonsense."

…—

On the other side, in the corridor.

Zuo Lingquan listened to my mother's bitter teachings on how to take down two ancestors on the mountain and honestly gave birth to a baby for him. He was frightened, but it was difficult to interrupt me, so he could only nod.

"I know, I know..."

"Don't just know, remember it in your heart."

Seeing that it was getting late, Mrs. Zuo stopped reminding Zuo Lingquan and waved her hand: "Okay, go down and rest."

Zuo Lingquan was about to leave, but remembered another thing and asked:

"By the way, what are the pieces of jewelry you gave you the most?"

Mrs. Zuo paused, looked around and whispered:

"What the princess asked you to ask, or did Lingye ask you to ask?"

Zuo Lingquan knew that I could see it and said with a smile:

"Haha, this..."

Mrs. Zuo knew it in her heart, raised her hand and slashed it lightly on the back of Zuo Lingquan's head:

"You still have to ask? I naturally like it. Your grandmother gave me four pieces of jewelry, which I couldn't bear to take out and wear for me before. The pieces of your aunts are their lifeblood."

"The boy understands."

"Okay, go back."

Mrs. Zuo turned and left.

Zuo Lingquan was so moved that he watched me leave that he turned around and came to the corner of the entrance of the veranda.

Under the wall, Shangguan Lingye leaned his head to observe in secret, with a suspicious look.

Zuo Lingquan regained his cold expression, came to Lingye, supported the wall with one hand, and looked down from a high place:

"Baoer, I asked, you heard it."
