1179 First glimpse of Qucheng
"I suddenly felt that my advice was not reliable at all. Ning Shuo waved his hand weakly.
Because of Shui Xin's previous wonderful performances, Ning Shuo felt that Shui Xin might be able to play an ordinary person. But I never thought of it!
A charming bone, a charming bone without cultivation...... The trouble that this can cause is much bigger than that of a small, late-stage sword monk, thank you!
"Oh, this one can be changed. Shui Xin also felt that something was wrong.
Patronizing the temperament of the soul of the soldiers, he carried forward the natural temperament of the charming bones. But temperament is something that can be changed.
Shui Xin felt that she should have taken the relevant course.
- According to some kind of information she got, before she was tossed out of the soldier's soul, she was originally cultivated as an existence similar to some kind of "Yangzhou Thin Horse". Although I don't have that memory anymore, think about what I saw and heard on Qifeng Mountain......
Shui Xin closed her eyes again, her expression pale.
When I opened my eyes again, my whole temperament changed.
has changed from an innocent and innocent goblin to a standard lady. It's just that the temperament of the charming bones can't be completely covered up - the temperament that can't even be completely suppressed by the soul of the soldier will be reconciled with this feeling of everyone's beauty, and it mixes a wonderful feeling.
But anyway, it's still a lot better than before.
Ning Shuo was dumbfounded, "Do women have such talents......
Zhou Yongmo frowned.
"No, it's just that I've mostly taken courses like 'how to switch between fairies and demons'. Shui Xin said, "Moreover, when I was in Fengshan in Yunguo, my colleagues during that time gave me a sample of memories with their own performance. ”
"The Ning family didn't cultivate it like this when they cultivated the marriage partner in the first place!" Ning Shuo complained.
"What's strange about this, I wasn't raised as a marriage partner. ”
Ning Shuo was stunned for a moment, his eyes gurgled and rolled, and he didn't know what he thought, so he was silent.
The same is true for Zhou Yongmo.
He pondered for a moment, then suddenly said, "I can go back and help you deal with the parents of those two siblings." Look at their sons, these two are no longer worthy of sex Lin. I just happened to check what was going on with that person. ”
Shui Xin was stunned.
reacted immediately, and Zhou Yongmo's reaction was very normal. It doesn't have much to do with her. The black qi before was really concerning! and Lin Dongzhong's state......
She looked at Zhou Yongmo seriously, "About this...... By the way, do you have time now to listen to the origin story of the Floating Moon Realm?"
Now, it should be more credible, right?
&
Receiving too much information.
Because there were no people, the sword light that turned black seemed to be a little shaky when it was gone.
Shui Xin didn't know whether to sympathize or not.
As soon as he turned his head, he saw Ning Shuo's thoughtful face.
"So, Qucheng is now the time when the monks gather?"
- Shui Xin also told me about the news of the kendo tournament that I heard before. Zhou Yongmo didn't know if he had the strength to do at that time, Ning Shuo had already heard the "story" in front, and he naturally had the heart to receive the information in the back.
Shui Xin nodded.
"Sure enough, it's more suitable for ordinary people. It is very unreasonable for Jian Xiu to leave Qucheng at such a time, but it is reasonable for mortals - provided that you don't show up less!"
"Uh...... So I'd better play a ...... Well, Jun Miaorong ran away. So, is it a poor woman who eloped out of the house, only to be betrayed by her lover?"
"No! can't be pitiful!" Ning Shuo vehemently objected.
Shui Xin is as good as flowing, "So, is a woman who was betrayed by her lover and realized that men are unreliable, so she decided to be self-reliant?"
Ning Shuo thought for a while, "This is reliable." ”
Shui Xin feels that it is not reliable at all!
Ning Shuo's gaze has been wandering!
You know, even in the face of her true appearance, he can dodge without dodging, okay?
Could it be that the power of the bones is really so great?
"Are you sure?" Shui Xin couldn't help but ask.
"Sure. ”
Probably hearing Shui Xin's real question, Ning Shuo smiled bitterly, and then turned his gaze back, "...... How do you say that? There's a sense of disobedience. ”
“…… You say my real personality doesn't match my temperament?"
Ning Shuo's gaze flickered...... Nod!
He actually really admires it.
Obviously, there is a natural charm bone that is better than the soul of the eight-grade soldier, and the attribute of death can actually suppress the power of the born charm bone at all, and it is really powerful!
&
As a mortal, he naturally has to follow the official road.
There were people coming and going on the official road, but some people noticed that there was a mortal sitting on such a carriage, and there were only three or four guards, so it would not be easy to move.
Now, Lin Donglian, played by Shui Xin, is such a mortal.
In addition to Ning Shuo and Xiaobai, at this time, she also had a coachman, a maid, and a carriage. These things were all found by Ning Shuo.
Ning Shuo is also worthy of being the former manager of the immortal cultivation family.
He made the appearance of being hired by "Lin Donglian", and found these things in a village near the official road.
He hired things and people.
The difference is that both the coachman and the carriage are hired temporarily, while the maid is a long deed.
And the maid is not the kind of inexperienced.
This maid is more than 20 years old, and she was released by a large family in Hanyang Mansion not long after the contract ended. However, there are many children in the family, and although the money she has accumulated by working in a large family is abundant, there is not much left after marrying several brothers. If she wants to marry, she can only choose a widower or someone with physical deficiencies.
Therefore, when Ning Shuo came over, this woman quickly sold herself and became Shui Xin's maid.
Without any hesitation.
Shui Xin sat in the carriage and watched this handsome maid named Qinghuan, with a good appearance and gentle temperament, skillfully making tea on the small stove, and felt a little uncertain in her heart. When she was in Qifeng Mountain, as a quasi-saint, she also had a maid.
The maid's name is Snow Goose, and her name is inexplicably familiar.
At that time, she was shattered and had no memory. Snow geese helped a lot. Although she had a kind of honey confidence at that time, she felt that she would definitely be able to step on the immortal realm again, but she also thought about the master and servant, so that she could gather and disperse. Who knows what's going on behind so much......
First the Southwest Fantasy Realm, and then the Myriad Flowers Secret Realm opened in advance.
One thing after another.
Shui Xin didn't take care of it.
What's more, with the situation that she caused trouble everywhere at that time, it was good for her not to inquire about the whereabouts of the snow geese.
There was so much going on around her.
If Lin Donglian's identity can be maintained for a long time, it will naturally be very good. But Shui Xin really doesn't have much confidence in this. I always feel that even if I pretend to be like this, most of the time something will happen. Even if you can pass Qucheng......
Well, it's not so much a lack of confidence in your luck as it is a lack of confidence in your character.
Intellectually, Shui Xin knew that she needed to observe more of the great Confucians in the north in the dark.
- Otherwise, it is not a big problem to expose your identity, and use Kenshin's cultivation to go straight to the Ming State Political Hall, and successfully rush to the capital and prove the identity of the clan. It's just hard to say what happened after that.
But emotionally, many things can trigger Shui Xin's heart to die.
"Girl, drink tea. ”
Probably Shui Xin's gaze was straightforward, a little weird, and Qing Huan was a little trembling.
"Your tea-making skills are quite exquisite. Shui Xin said casually and took a sip of tea.
Gao Xiuwei also represents the five senses and six senses that are becoming more and more acute. For example, touch, hearing, etc., Shui Xin will be controlled. Otherwise, I really can't stay in this prosperous place.
Taste is also a truth.
Shui Xin did not adjust her sense of taste, and she would be naturally picky about her sense of taste. Qinghuan's tea is not delicious, but it is not unpleasant for her like this, in fact, it is quite remarkable.
Shui Xin grills her own meat, and without controlling her taste, she never feels delicious.
Therefore, just talking about the taste, you can also afford the word "exquisite".
"When the slave was in Yao's Mansion, he made tea for the second lady of the Yao family. Qinghuan sat in the corner and said carefully.
"Second Miss Yao Family, which Yao family?"
"It's the Yao family in Qucheng. There is a lady in the Jun family whose surname is Yao. The prefect's wife of the Hanyang prefect is also from the Yao family. ”
Shui Xin's heart was blackened, "What does the man of the Yao family do?"
"Naturally, they are all readers. Miss Yao Er, who served before the slave, her father, was a teacher at Nanhai Academy. ”
It's just teaching...... It's not right, Qinghuan is only in her twenties, and the one who once served must be Miss Yao Er, who is not married. By analogy, Miss Yao Er's father is naturally not too old.
It's just teaching, and it's normal.
Shui Xin thought about it, and then asked again, "You specialize in serving tea, I'm curious, how many maids are there around that Second Miss Yao?"
"There are four big maids, eight second-class maids, and sixteen third-class maids. If you want to talk about rough sprinkling, there are always dozens of them. The slave was just a second-class maid at the beginning. When Miss Yao Er got married, she sent the slave home as a child. ”
If a northern woman does not have the qualifications to cultivate immortals, she generally marries at the age of eighteen to twenty.
It is the most suitable age for mortal women in the Floating Moon Realm to give birth.
Shui Xin didn't know what kind of pomp and circumstance it was for the women of the Fuyue Realm to get married, but their pomp at home had already made her stunned.
But think about it, there were also many servants around Miss Jun at the beginning.
It's just that Dinghai City has changed dramatically, and people have been lost. The results of those people, Shui Xin is not clear now. Compared with those few servants, there is only an extremely superficial cultivation on the body, but when it reaches the level of "strong viscera", the level of Qinghuan, which is still showing a downward trend, is a world of difference.
"Is Miss Yao Er a Confucian cultivator? What kind of cultivation are those big girls around her?"
Qinghuan was relieved when she heard these questions.
She thinks that this should be a girl's heart of comparison.
With such a comparison, I always feel that this new employer is suddenly alive - I always felt a little unfathomable before.
"Four big maids, two civil servants, and two martial servants. They are all great cultivations. However, I heard that the civil servants are not good at fighting...... If Miss Yao Er goes out, there will be another female guard in the family with her, all of whom are sword-level sword cultivators. Qinghuan replied seriously.
Shui Xin happened to be fine, so she regarded herself as a girl from the "down-and-out clan" and inquired about the life of a wealthy lady.
The Yao family is one of the top families in Qucheng.
And Miss Yao Er is the daughter of Yao's house.
The women of the same generation of the Yao family, before Qinghuan left, there were a total of ten people in the main branch.
Four concubines and six concubines.
Miss Yao's configuration is a concubine configuration.
The configuration of concubines will be halved.
Although the two northern countries did not allow the existence of private slaves, death deeds, and children in the north in terms of law, in fact, in order to cultivate their own power, the family must have violated such laws.
It has long been a law that has been publicly violated.
Qinghuan is like this, and his parents sold him into Yao's mansion to sign a living deed, in a family like the Yao family, it is impossible to become the personal maid of the young lady. The second-class girl is already the limit.
Later, Miss Yao Er married into the He family, a family of the same level, and only brought four big girls and some children.
And Qinghuan is not so much released as streamlined. These big families will control the number of children born in the family, but when it is necessary to reduce the number of people, unless it is a talent that is fancied, the first person to be streamlined must be the descendant of the living contract.
As for what are the criteria for a top family?
"There is a great Confucian or a sufficient number of literary courage, and there are real power positions in the Taoist platform and the imperial court."
Shui Xin counted it and probably came to such a conclusion.
There is a great Confucian, then it goes without saying.
Even if it is a female Confucian from a civilian background, even if she is a woman, runs an academy, and has not entered the court, the family she supports is also a top family, and no other conditions are required.
If there is no Confucianism, then it is necessary to spell the quality of the courage.
No matter how many prefectures are cultivated, the real power positions of the Daotai Yamen, the Eight Academies and the Six Ministries of the Capital are always limited. The number of top families is definitely limited. Moreover, in each generation, there will be a considerable number of people who are classified as side branches.
"You are in Yao Mansion, do you still have acquaintances?" Shui Xin asked casually.
"Yes, yes...... Qing Huan didn't quite understand the specific identity of "Lin Donglian", and was suddenly a little embarrassed, "But the people you know are all subordinates." ”
I just asked. Shui Xin waved her hand.
While chatting, the carriage was getting closer and closer to Qucheng. Ning Shuo, who was sitting in front of the frame, also listened to the conversation in the carriage completely.
He had said before that let Shui Xin quickly go north as an ordinary person.
According to this plan, Qucheng was just passing by.
But even if it's just passing by, Ning Shuo has to collect all the information as completely as possible - what if he doesn't pass by?
Even if there is no kendo competition and Wenbi, the power of Qucheng is intricate, far more complicated than Dinghai City!
Moreover, you haven't arrived in Qucheng yet......
Ning Shuo suddenly found that there were signs of congestion in front of the official road!
The direction of the congestion was criss-crossed, and Ning Shuo didn't dare to use his divine sense to come up and find death.
