Chapter 30: Wei Ying and Daiyu
Lizhu is full of flowers, Bai Lian dances in the sky and the bright moon shines together.
Wei Qian and Xuan Yun returned to Doumu Temple, and took advantage of the night to immediately start refining the dragon ball obtained from the mother dragon, and fused it with the dragon ball in their hands.
The god hangs in the sky, the purple clouds are long overhead, and in the magnificent palace, the yin god holds the Li Dragon Ball, and there is a small silver dragon ball beside him to absorb the moonlight and gradually integrate into the Li Dragon Ball.
The technique of the Nine Dragons Joint Practice, also known as the "Big Dipper Dragon Emperor's Heavenly Mantra" in the Lishan School, can also be regarded as a cultivation exercise.
When the dragon ball was merged into the Li Dragon Ball, there was a temple on the far right side of the Xuanmu Shrine with a loud bang and opened the gate.
Dou Mao, known as the mother of the Big Dipper, gave birth to nine stars: Gou Chen, Ziwei, Tianshu, Tianxuan, Tianji, Tianquan, Lian Zhen, Kaiyang, and Shaking Light.
This alchemy technique of the Dou Mu One Vein requires the nine temples that he visualizes one by one. With the first dragon ball in hand, Wei Qian opened the last Shaking Light Hall of the Nine Palaces.
A silver dragon rose above the hall, with a shaking star in its mouth, and finally coiled in the shaking light hall.
The small roof was filled with silver light, and suddenly a starlight flew into the house in the starry sky.
"Shake the Starlight? My sister is finally getting started. Xuanyun outside looked up and muttered to himself. Xuanling Taoist immortal practice, with the Big Dipper Nine Stars as the realm, every time a star is lit up in the sky, the cultivation is further refined.
She was invited by Wei Qian to pull the red toon to help Wei Qian fiddle with those mango seeds. The cyan branches were inserted in the soil, and there were six fruit cores next to them, which had sprouted and taken root under the power of Xuanyun's mana.
Hongchun saw the immortal Dao method with his own eyes, and his face showed a look of surprise.
When Xuanyun saw it, he smiled and said, "Come, let you try." You hold this Aoki talisman and think about setting it on fire. ”
Handed Hongchun a yellow paper talisman, Hongchun looked at it, and the ghost-drawn talisman on it didn't know it at all, but it seemed to have been seen in Miss's study?
Closing his eyes, thinking about the burning of the paper talisman, a heat wave came from his fingertips, and he was so frightened that he threw the paper talisman away.
The red fire flickered, turning into a green wood aura to nourish the mango sprouts. Immediately jumped up a little higher.
"This ......" Hong Tsubaki was surprised: "Could it be that this is immortal art?" Dao Chief, could it be that the immortals really exist? ”
"Who knows? At least in the eyes of mortals, I can be called an immortal. Xuanyun smiled freely and left some green wood talismans for Hongchun: "Senior sister asked me to help her plant trees, but where do I have this spare time?" These talismans are enough for you to use for a few days, and you help guard the new sprouts, and use the talismans to throw them into the soil every morning and evening, nourishing them with the breath of Otogi. Then go to the mountains to pick mountain springs for watering, and you can grow up in the future. ”
After speaking, he left in a hurry, leaving Hongchun alone to open the talisman.
What Xuanyun did, just like eating and drinking water every day, although Hongchun was surprised when she saw it, but when she saw Xuanyun's expression, she only thought that she was lonely and unheard, so she didn't make much movement.
"Now, the junior sister's entrustment is complete." Walking away, Xuanyun turned his head to look at Hongchun. She doesn't think that Hongchun can really enter the Tao, but using the immortal method to teach the foundation may allow Wei Qian to have one more henchman. After Hongchun accepted the immortal arts, Wei Qian could act with less scruples.
Wei Qian's retreat took three days, and Hongchun was raising trees outside, and she also had a little more aura on her body.
Xuanyun asked her to plant trees with charms, which is the "food talisman" method of Xuanmen, and she casts the talisman every day, and is naturally nourished by the aura, which is an invisible entry.
Three days later, Wei Qian went out of the customs, visited Lingyun and returned to Weifu after going down the mountain.
On the way, Hongchun handed the Aoki talisman to Wei Qian, and Wei Qian glanced at it: "Since the senior sister gave it to you, you can use it to plant flowers." ”
Does it really seem like a common commodity? Seeing that the two sisters had such expressions, Hongchun muttered in her heart, "Put away the baby."
……
took a sedan chair back to the house, and as soon as she entered the door, Wei Qian heard laughter coming from inside.
"Mother." walked into the lobby and greeted Jia Mei, and saw Jia Min's mother and daughter sitting next to her. The mother and daughter wore white gauze dresses, which were simple and elegant.
As for Jia Mei, she is wearing a purple dress, showing the charm of a mature woman. She was holding a little boy in her arms, wearing a jade belt and a brocade robe, and when she saw Wei Qian's eyes lit up, she shouted sweetly: "Sister! "Pounce on it immediately.
As soon as her arm sank, Wei Qian hurriedly caught Wei Ying, and was so frightened that the red toon next to her was behind Wei Qian.
Wei Qian waved her hand, signaling that she was fine. In the end, the cultivation is successful, and the weight of a child can still withstand it.
After weighing, Wei Qian joked: "My brother has been heavy again these days, it seems that he has eaten well?" Raised another day, just in time for drinking? ”
The little chubby dun twisted in Wei Qian's arms and jumped down: "Where is it heavy, this is strong!" With a small face, he raised his little fist to demonstrate to Wei Qian. He's not a pig!
The girl next to Jia Min pursed her lips and smiled secretly, and happened to look at Wei Qian, so she quickly lowered her head and closed her mouth again.
"This is the cousin of the Lin family, right?" Wei Qian didn't care, stepped forward to say hello, and looked at Lin Daiyu.
Compared with the last time we met in the boat, this time we dealt head-on, and the naked eye could see the pure spirit qi on the top of Daiyu's head.
"Sure enough, it is a cultivation seed, if you follow me to cultivate immortals, I am afraid that your achievements in the future will not be inferior to Senior Sister Xuanyun." Wei Qian was thinking about finding a proud helper for her family, but as for Jia Baoyu's relationship, she had long forgotten about it.
"I've seen your cousin Wei soon." Jia Min reminded in a low voice, and Daiyu came out to greet Wei Qian, and she was generous.
"Sure enough, he is knowledgeable and scholarly." Wei Qian saw that Daiyu was afraid of life, so she said a few words: "Treat this as your own home, don't be too scrupulous." ”
Then he said goodbye to Jia Min, asked a few words about the situation of going south, and sat back on the other side of Jia Mei.
Seeing that Wei Qian's behavior was atmospheric and measured, Jia Min secretly praised it. Listening to Wei Qian and Jia Mei talk about the situation in the house, it seems that they have begun to help the housekeeper now?
"By the way, didn't you say not long ago that you wanted our family to also meddle in Nanyang's business? It just so happens that your aunt is here, so you can ask her. Her family is now doing business with a merchant ship heading south. ”
Wei Qian's eyes lit up, and she looked at Jia Min with a bright look.
Jia Min was surprised: "What, my sister wants to do business in Nanyang?" ”
Jia Mei smiled and pointed at Wei Qian and said, "It's this greedy girl who doesn't know how to be pouted to eat those seafood from the South Seas." I think I have a lot of land and resources, what is there that I don't have? Why do you want to do business with those barbarian natives in the South Seas? ”
When Jia Min heard this, he said with a smile: "You can't say that: there are many pearls in the South Seas, and there are several special spices that need to be purchased from the South Seas." By the way, didn't I just give my sister a pair of teeth? It was obtained from the South Seas. ”
Jia Min came to visit him and gave a lot of gifts. In addition to a pair of ivory horns for Wei Yan, there were also spice pearls for Jia Mei.
"As for the fruits, they don't last long, and they are rare on our side. There seem to be more in Fuzhou, and I heard that there are still people who deliberately plant them. ”
"Nephew means planting." Wei Qian sat next to her and talked, discussing with Jia Min the customs and customs of Nanyang, and comparing them with the memories of her previous life.
In the end, it is not the same world, and many places are not right, but the South Seas are indeed dominated by islands, and there are many countries.
As he spoke, Jia Min couldn't get back to a lot of questions, so he patted his head: "I remember that the Wang family hasn't been running Nanyang's business all these years?" If my sister is really interested, it is better to follow the path of the Wang family, and I was the way they found when I intervened in the Nanyang business. ”
Nanyang, in modern times, is Southeast Asia, which can be described as a huge treasure at this time. Not to mention pearl agate and the like, if you find a gold mine......
Jia Min secretly pointed to the golden hairpin above his head: "I heard that the Wang family has found an island in the south over the years, and directly encountered a treasure pool." ”
Jia Mei's expression moved, it was just Wei Qian's whim, but now it seems that the trade with foreign countries may really be profitable?
If nothing else, it is the salt trade, and you can make a lot of money. "Wei Yan seized illicit salt over there, and it can't be sold in Middle-earth, but when you go outside, you may be able to go to the doorway by sea and land?"
Salt and iron, in ancient times, were official patents and were never allowed to be touched by outsiders. But the profits are huge, and the private salt doorway here in the south has never ended. At least as soon as it is found out, it will be able to pull out a slip of officials.
As for the seized illicit salt?
Sales in the mainland will be noticed by the government immediately, but if it is overseas, it will be much easier.
Jia Mei had an idea and said to Wei Qian: "You have a good relationship with Feng Yatou, go back and ask her family to see what her family's attitude is." ”
"Sister Wang is worried about how to embroider mandarin duck pillows! Where can I meet me? Speaking of this, Wei Qian felt funny. With the passage of three years after Jia Daishan's death, Jia Lian's marriage has been put on the agenda.
And this big wedding is also the stage for Jiafu to reappear after three years of silence. Although Jiafu was cautious and cautious, all kinds of etiquette were extremely cumbersome, and Wang Xifeng was directly pitted.
Wang Xifeng is not good at female celebrities, but according to the requirements of Jiafu, wedding clothes and quilts have become the biggest problems.
The wedding dress is okay, it must be made by a skilled worker. But the headkerchief above must be made by Wang Xifeng. It's okay to say, just two clicks. The same goes for the futon, as long as she seals the edge at the end.
But the pillow, you have to make your own mandarin duck pillow!
At that time, it will still be necessary for Jia Mu and Mrs. Xing to look at it, so Wang Xifeng is working hard at home these days.
"Speaking of which, Lian'er's marriage is next month?" Jia Min and Jiafu have not had much contact, at least Jia Lian's marriage has not yet been notified of a specific date.
"Big brother means the ninth day of the next month, which is considered an auspicious day. But I was afraid that something would happen at that time, so I chose two auspicious days of the zodiac. By the way, will you go back then? ”
"I'll forget it." Jia Min hesitated: "I'm busy here, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave." What about my sister? ”
"The eldest brother and eldest son welcome the family, this is the future housemother of Jiafu, can you not go? And he also has to go with the Wang family's family to send relatives, just to help take care of it. ”
When she heard this, Jia Mei understood. When the Wang family married into Chang'an from Jinling, it should have been someone from there to welcome them. But when the son gets married, where is the reason for Lao Tzu to greet him? When Jia Lian came over, there was no elder here, and I was afraid that I would not be able to resist those people in the Wang family.
Jia Mei is also her own aunt, and she has a destiny on her body, so she can take care of it.
"But this Wang family......" Jia Minliu frowned: "I don't look down on the Wang family's illiterate habits." ”
"So the nephew deliberately asked the sister of the Wang family to make up for it, at least don't make a fool of herself when she arrives in Jiafu. Just be able to take care of the house. Wei Qian said: "If my aunt can't go, can I bring it when I give the ceremony?" Or the greeting team turns a corner from Suzhou and receives it directly. ”
"It's better to let my sister carry it over, and when the time comes, I won't look good if I don't go back with me." Jia Min didn't like Wang Xifeng, and when he saw her, he thought of Jia Wang's family. "After all, it's the first nephew of Dafang, and the etiquette can't be thin." But Jia Min and Jia Zheng have a good relationship and prefer Jia Zhu, so they will not let Jia Lian's gift overpower Jia Zhu.
That's why she's embarrassed.
Jia Mei understood that this involved some grievances back then, so she didn't say anything, but asked Wei Qian: "I heard that you taught Feng Yatou to read and write?" ”
"Well, I almost recognize it." Wei Qian handed Wang Xifeng the method of pinyin literacy, and marked out the pinyin of 3,000 words for her to learn slowly: "It's nothing to recognize words, I'm afraid that my sister's mandarin duck pillow will not be able to pass my aunt's level when the time comes." Thinking of the pillow made by Wang Xifeng, Wei Qian couldn't help laughing, and was beaten back by Mrs. Wang on the spot to redo it, forcing Wang Xifeng to learn from the boudoir.
"Don't talk about her, your female celebrity skills are not very good." Jia Mei snorted, and Wen Yan said to Lin Daiyu: "Yu'er, don't learn from your two sisters, this woman, if you don't have a female worker who can handle it, she will be laughed at sooner or later when she goes to her mother-in-law's house." ”
Lin Daiyu responded softly, and Jia Min helped: "Yu'er is still young, and her body bones are not good, I think that if you are older, you can learn slowly, and now it is most important to take care of your body." ”
Jia Mei looked at Daiyu and bowed her head: "The body is a little weak, when Qian'er was so big, she looked much taller than Yu'er." It's Ying'er, who was born in the same month as Yu'er, but she looks healthier than Yu'er. My sister is not going to Dou Mu Temple tomorrow, I will go with you when I go back, and let Master Lingyun help you mother and daughter take a look. ”
The two sisters talked about the experience of raising children, and Wei Ying's child was impatient to listen to it, and pestered Wei Qian to play.
Simply, the two adults also let Daiyu out and let Wei Qian take her to the back garden to play.
Three people, three personalities. Wei Ying is hilarious, it is the age of playfulness, and she catches butterflies and insects in the garden. And Lin Daiyu sat shyly next to Wei Qian, embarrassed to speak. As for Wei Qian, after all, she is the eldest sister and the master, so she can only accompany Daiyu to talk and chat. Finally, with a wave of his hand, he asked Hongchun to take out his jewelry box.
"Our sister, what are you embarrassed about? My own family, being too careful will give birth to points. Wei Qian slowly guided, picked in the jewelry box for a long time, gestured to Daiyu, and finally chose a pair of gold leaf jade pillar headdress veneers, a pair of red coral bracelets, a pair of jade rings, and a hollow jade-inlaid purple shirt wooden hairpin.
Daiyu didn't dare to take it, Wei Qian forcibly put it on her: "Sister gave my sister something, what's it?" You, don't think too much, just give it to you. The rest was wrapped up and handed to the maid beside Lin Daiyu.
Daiyu was a little embarrassed, but the situation opened up, and she was a little more intimate when she talked later.
Turning around, Daiyu told Jia Min. Jia Min didn't care and said: "What your cousin said is right, just give it to you, and we'll make up for it when we get back." Relatives, you don't want to be unsightly. ”
Jia Min looked at a few pieces of jewelry, and sighed: "It can be seen that your cousin is not a poor person, presumably Nanyang's plan to do business is indeed to have fun out of boredom?" ”
I just saw Wei Qian, because Wei Qian came down from the mountain and didn't bring any jewelry or anything, so Jia Min was a little disdainful. But after thinking about it carefully, the Wei Mansion is not poor, and I heard that Jia Daishan gave something before he died.
"Your cousin, maybe it's really because of the marriage contract, you've been in the temple for a long time, and you look a little cold and lonely. But she has a lot of money, and it's not your turn to worry about her. ”
