Chapter 3 Bian Jiaruoxuan
"Xuanxuan, come over for dinner. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" The woman brought breakfast from the kitchen into the house, and then stood at the door and said hello.
There is a big locust tree in the small courtyard, and a little girl sits under the locust tree. When she heard the woman's voice, the little girl answered, got up and carried the small bench into the house.
The little girl's name is Bian Ruoxuan, and she is a side child of the head of the Bian family in Fengcheng. The woman's name was Shen Hanzhi and she was the mother of the little girl.
The Bian family is a family of cultivating immortals, backed by the big tree of Taiyi Sect, and it can be regarded as having a firm foothold in the city of Fengcheng. The Shen family is from the Shen family, which is also a cultivator in Fengcheng, but she has no cultivation talent, she is just a mortal. Bian Ruoxuan is a posthumous son, and his father's spiritual root is the most complex five spiritual root, and the purity is not high. When her husband was not by her side during pregnancy, Shen was naturally aggrieved, but as a mortal, she couldn't interfere with her husband's behavior as a cultivator, even if his husband was only a third-layer qi cultivator who was almost no different from a mortal.
Shen thought that such days would be difficult enough, but he didn't expect that even more difficult days were yet to come. After giving birth to Bian Ruoxuan, she got the bad news that her husband's life card was broken. This marriage was originally the product of the marriage of the two families, and the Shen family couldn't say how sad it was, but as a mortal, she knew that it was not easy to live in the Xiuxian family with a child. If the life card is broken, it is natural that it can no longer be used to receive the monthly example from the family. Having lost a stable source of income, even if the family still had a little savings, Shen, who was still breastfeeding, had to think of ways to increase the family's income.
When Shen was in the boudoir, he learned a little rough rune from his father, who was a cultivator. From this, the Shen family saw the hope of making a living, and there were many embroidery workshops in Fengcheng that cooperated with the robe shop, recruiting embroidery girls all year round, and were responsible for doing the work of rusting runes on low-level vestments. This work, whether it is a cultivator or a mortal, as long as he has a rough understanding of runes and a good embroidery technique, he can do it. This is because the fabric of the low-level vestments is not strong, and even ordinary mortals can operate it with the help of special needles and threads. Embroidery workshop recruitment generally has two modes of on-time work and regular delivery, the first embroidery girl is not trusted, generally can only choose to do it in the embroidery workshop, and then receive wages. But Shen is not alone, she also has a daughter who has just been born for a short time and still needs to be taken care of. Forced by life, Shen could only hold his daughter and take up the job.
Of course, the person in charge of the embroidery workshop disagreed, embroidery requires concentration in this delicate work, especially if they embroider runes, something that will lose its effect if it is a little wrong. Imagine, a group of embroidery girls are embroidering runes in the embroidery workshop, and suddenly the baby's cry sounded in the embroidery workshop, and there will probably be a lot of embroidery girls who are jumped. Under the fright, the embroidery girl was pricked in the hand or a trivial matter, and accidentally embroidered the magic robe on her hand, which is probably a huge trouble for them to work for the family.
Shen repeatedly assured the person in charge that her daughter would never cry, and if she affected other embroiderers because of her daughter, she would quit her job immediately and compensate for the loss of the embroidery workshop, and the person in charge reluctantly agreed.
Bian Ruoxuan was still very angry with her aunt, and until Shen got permission to take the materials home to make them, she didn't cry once in the embroidery workshop. Every day, Shen carried her to work in the embroidery workshop, and put her aside when she arrived at the embroidery workshop. She doesn't need Shen to play with her, she can watch her old for a while by staring at the work embroidered in Shen's hand. Only when there is a physiological need, she will reach out her little hand and keep poking Shen until Shen notices it.
Shen was once proud of her daughter's sensibility and intelligence, but unfortunately she didn't have long to be happy before she began to worry again.
Bian Ruoxuan grew up slowly, and when other children pulled Daddy and Auntie to talk non-stop, the words she said the most were 'Auntie, hungry' and 'Auntie, water'. After being able to walk steadily, Bian Ruoxuan suddenly became interested in the big locust tree in the yard, and spent a lot of time sitting under the tree every day looking up at the branches in a daze. For a child, Bian Ruoxuan's behavior is simply too quiet, and it can even be said to be a little stupid.
Shen is literate and began to teach Bian Ruoxuan to read and write after she was two years old. It's a pity that Bian Ruoxuan didn't show any talent in this regard, when Shen explained the text to her, she still couldn't fully concentrate, and the things in the books, what Shen told her every day, didn't seem to be as attractive as the old locust tree in the courtyard. After realizing that her daughter was really not interested in literacy, Shen set aside part of her literacy time to teach Bian Ruoxuan mathematics. It's a pity that Bian Ruoxuan's techniques are basically used by her to count how many flowers and how many leaves the locust tree has dropped.
As Bian Ruoxuan grows up, Shen's inner worries become more and more serious. The two of them are only side branches of the main family of the Bian family, and if there is no cultivator in the side branch, then they will be classified as separate families and sent to other local branch areas. The Shen family's father was an ordinary cultivator of the Shen family, who had passed away and was buried in the ancestral tomb of the Shen family outside Fengcheng City, and the tablet was left in the Shen family's main family.
In other words, if Bian Ruoxuan is a mortal without spiritual roots, then the two of them can only pack up their baggage and move out of this small courtyard where they have lived for five years. Moreover, because they have to go to a branch of the Bian family that is not known how far away, if the Shen family wants to pay tribute to their father or sweep their father's grave in the future, they will have to travel a long way.
As a mother, she is naturally willing to believe that everything is fine with her children, but after all, the Shen family is a mortal who has been living in the Xiuxian family, and she also knows what kind of performance a child with spiritual roots is. Most of them are smart and clever since childhood, which is manifested in the fact that they are not small, precocious, learn everything quickly, and have flexible brains. She doesn't think her daughter is a stupid person, her daughter is very well-behaved, except for the fact that things are not fast and she loves to be in a daze, there is nothing to worry her about. However, if she opened her mouth to boast about how smart and clever her daughter was, she would definitely have a spiritual root, become a cultivator or something, and she felt that she would not be able to open this mouth.
Shen watched her daughter put the small bench back where she had moved out in the morning, then consciously washed her hands and sat quietly at the table to eat by herself. Everything seems to be no different from usual, and the daughter is still the same innocent and ignorant appearance, but the worry in her heart is even heavier.
Bian Ruoxuan ate a few bites and found that A-Niang was not on the table, so she asked suspiciously: "A-Niang, aren't you hungry?"
Shen smiled reluctantly and touched her daughter's head, "Xuanxuan, hurry up and eat, A-Niang has to take you to a place after eating." ”
Bian Ruoxuan didn't know what to do, looked up at her with wide eyes, and Shen said: "Today is the day when the clan will test your spiritual roots. A-Niang hopes that no matter what the final result is, Xuanxuan will be happy, can she do it?"
Bian Ruoxuan didn't quite understand what her aunt was worried about, but she still agreed, who had always been obedient.
After eating a few more bites of food, Bian Ruoxuan suddenly remembered something. She pulled the corner of Lashen's clothes as before: "Ah Niang, I'm not afraid, I will have a spiritual root." So don't be afraid. ”
