Chapter 29: Gossip of the Government (1)
The three of them wandered around the yard, looking at the plants and flowers they didn't know all over the yard, and the three of them dragged around and dragged around, almost digging up the roots and studying them well.
After shopping for a while, Xia He came over and said, "Miss Cousin, the water is boiled, but there is no tea, and there is no green onion and ginger......"
Tao Ming hurriedly said, "White water is fine." ”
Don't put any green onion and ginger seasoning and boil it with tea!
dragged the two little ones into the house, and Dongxue was standing at the table, carrying a thermos pot to pour water.
Tao Ming picked up the two little guys, let them sit on a chair, looked at the steaming boiled water on the table, looked up and pouted aggrievedly: "Mom, I don't like to drink hot water!"
Tao Ming stood at the table at this time, and touched the glass when she heard the words, it was indeed a little hot, and patiently coaxed: "It's good to dry for a while." ”
I also thought that since I was born softly, I have been breastfeeding for the first six months, and then I added complementary food, and I drank cold water directly from the water dispenser, not to mention that I often opened the refrigerator and drank cold drinks and yogurt directly, and I really didn't drink much hot water.
Xia He was curious at this time: "Miss Cousin, in the other world, everyone calls her mother mother?"
Tao Ming nodded: "That's right." ”
After a pause, he asked, "You know I'm coming back from another world?"
Dong Xue glared at Xia He, her pretty face was tense, and said: "Weishui has spread all over the world, and I don't know which conscience is talking nonsense everywhere." ”
Tao Ming couldn't help but be happy when she saw Dongxue's expression: "It's not nonsense, I originally came back from another world." ”
Xia He knew that he was speechless, and hurriedly said: "The old ancestor doesn't let the people in the mansion talk nonsense, but this word came from the imperial city, and it can't be stopped." ”
Hey, it seems that there are people in the Imperial City who don't want to make themselves feel better!
Tao Ming looked at the two of them who were quite nervous, and asked with a move in his mind: "Then do you know that if you can't hand over the holy woman, you will be exterminated?"
Xia He's face was full of resentment: "I know, several grandmothers cry in front of their ancestors every day for this matter, it's hard to know if you don't know." ”
Tao Ming's gossip heart was ready to move: "Tell me about it, I'm idle anyway." ”
Xia He looked at Tao Ming, who was still standing at the table, and said, "Miss Cousin, do you want to move a chair over and sit down?"
Dongxue glared at Xia He again, eager to shut her mouth.
Tao Ming saw it in her eyes, and said to Dongxue with a smile: "Sooner or later, I will know, let's talk about it." ”
Xia He immediately moved a chair over and asked Tao Ming to sit down: "Anyway, no one comes, and no one will see it sitting like this." ”
Tao Ming was curious: "Why, can't you just move a chair to sit on?"
Xia He nodded, and pouted: "The house is now housed by the grandmother, and the rules are big, the tables and chairs must be placed where they should be, and they can't be moved casually." It's like when the ancestors were stewards in the past, how could there be such a broken rule. ”
The corners of Tao Ming's mouth hooked: "Tell me about a few grandmothers." ”
Softly interjected: "Mom, it's so boring, I want to play a cooking game." ”
Tao Ming didn't know when to talk about it, so she took out her toys and let the two little ones go to bed to play.
After settling the little guy, Tao Ming sat on the chair next to the table, let Xia He and Dong Xue also sit down, the two excused themselves, and saw that there were no outsiders, so they sat down.
Tao Ming was aroused at this moment, and urged: "Keep going." ”
Xia He's eyebrows fluttered: "Since the Holy Beast appeared in the Holy Hall a few months ago, the Heavenly Emperor sent someone over on the second day. The whole clan was full of chickens and dogs, and all the women who gave birth to daughters trembled as if their daughters were saints. ”
"As a result, the ancestors laid out the contract array, tried them one by one, but they were unsuccessful, and now they are fried. Fortunately, the old ancestor knew it in his heart, and followed the people of the royal family to the imperial city, and when he came back, he said that the granddaughter of the twelfth aunt was the holy daughter. Who in the house doesn't know that the twelfth aunt and grandmother left home a few years ago to practice, and now that this is happening, where can I find the saint?"
"The Emperor of Heaven said that if he couldn't hand over the holy daughter within a year, he would destroy the whole clan, and the house was in chaos, and all the grandmothers ran to the Qiluo Courtyard to cry endlessly, crying miserably one by one, and they were not afraid of others seeing the joke. ”
Tao Ming didn't think there was anything wrong, when it came to life and death, this kind of performance was normal.
"They don't know, the four of us who serve the ancestor personally know that the ancestor has the treasure of the Qiluo clan in his hands, and when the time comes, it's a big deal to hide in it, can the Emperor of Heaven still chase it in?"
Tao Ming secretly said that at that time, the Chaos Blood Silk was not in the hands of her grandmother at all, where to hide? But this can't be said.
"The grandmothers cried that the ancestors had a headache, and they promised to find the saints within a year and would not implicate them, but they did not forgive them and insisted that the ancestors would separate them and cut off the relationship, and they would not be counted in the Qiluo clan from now on. Seeing that the one-year period is approaching, the trouble has become even worse these days. ”
"Fortunately, Miss Biao has come back with Little Miss, and they shouldn't make trouble anymore. ”
Tao Ming said in her heart that it was not necessarily, and asked, "Is every grandmother making trouble about splitting up?"
When Xia He talked about gossip, his big eyes were shining, and he was very attentive, and he replied when he heard the words: "That's not it." The third grandmother, the seventh grandmother, and the eighth grandmother are all good, neither crying nor making trouble, only saying that they married into Qiluo Mansion, and life and death are decided by the ancestors. ”
Tao Ming counted the people he had seen yesterday in his heart and asked, "Why didn't you see the Ninth Master?"
Xia He choked for a moment, cautiously looked back and whispered: "The relationship between the ninth master and the twelfth aunt is the best, a few years ago, I went out to find the twelfth aunt and grandmother, but something happened and it was gone." ”
Tao Ming's heart was a little sour when she heard this, it seems that this uncle loves his mother very much.
Xia He saw Tao Ming's gloomy expression, and comforted him softly: "It is said that the ninth master is a person who values love and righteousness, maybe the gods in the sky have recruited him and become a boy in front of the fairy seat." ”
"Do you believe that there are gods in the sky?" Tao Ming was full of doubts.
Xia He looked a little fascinated: "Cultivating immortals and cultivating immortals is not just to ascend to the immortal realm." ”
"Then have you ever seen someone who has ascended to the Immortal Realm?"
Xia He shook his head: "Where can I see it?" ”
Tao Ming had a big question in her heart: "It is said that my grandmother is more than 4,000 years old, how did she come over for such a long time?"
Xia He suddenly became energetic: "Retreat and cultivate! The masters in this mansion, all who are progressive, will retreat and cultivate from time to time, a few decades or hundreds of years. For those in retreat, tens or hundreds of years are just a blink of an eye. ”
Tao Ming was even more puzzled: "Then when they get out of the customs, won't the sky change outside?"
Xia He hurriedly waved his hand: "Miss Biao must not dare to say this in front of people, when the emperor is in good health and strength today, how can it change the sky?"
Tao Ming hurriedly explained: "I mean, hasn't the living environment and customs changed outside?"
"There are not many changes, anyway, the Emperor of Heaven is still the Emperor of Heaven, the Qiluo clan is still the Qiluo clan, as long as there are strong people in the clan, those changes are trivial. ”
Tao Ming's question still hasn't been answered, but he no longer chases after it.
After thinking about it, Tao Ming asked, "Everyone cultivates immortals, so what do you eat and drink?"
Xia He was surprised and said, "Miss Biao, those who can cultivate are all inherited, how can ordinary people have this kind of creation? Of course, there are people who farm and some people who do business." ”
"What is the lifespan of ordinary people?"
Xia He frowned slightly: "Those with good conditions can live to be more than a hundred years old, and those with poor conditions are only fifty or sixty years old." ”
Tao Ming said in his heart that ordinary people have a short life, and they can't accumulate anything from generation to generation, so wouldn't all the accumulation go to the hands of the upper class?
I'm afraid that the gap between the rich and the poor here is dozens of times larger than that of the earth!
When you have free time, you should go out and see the lives of ordinary people, after all, if you want to understand a world, it is always right to start from the grassroots.
Tao Ming looked at Xia He and then at Dong Xue and asked, "Do you two have cultivation?"
The two nodded together, and Xia He said: "The four of us were still young when we entered the house, first sprinkled the maids who swept the yard, then went to the kitchen to help, and finally went to serve the ancestors. ”
"As soon as we entered the house, there was a master who taught us the simplest cultivation method, and later the ancestor renamed us and taught us more subtle exercises, which are all great creations. ”
Tao Ming wanted to ask how their father and mother were doing, but she couldn't bear it and was hesitating, only to hear Xia He say: "When you start cultivating, your lifespan will be much longer than that of ordinary people, and it has been almost five hundred years since your father and mother passed away." Originally, it was sold into the house, and it had nothing to do with his own father and mother, and the ancestor let the slave and maid go back to send their parents a ride. For this kindness. Even if the slave and maid die, they will not betray their ancestors. ”
Tao Ming's heart was congested, it turned out that Xia He and Dong Xue were both more than five hundred years old, and she was less than eight years old. I thought of Tao Banxia again, and I don't know how many years I have lived, and I am still loyal to my mother.
It's all because the grassroots masses are having a hard time!
Tao Ming smiled and asked, "Then you tell me so much, aren't you afraid of your grandmother's blame?"
Xia He blinked: "The slave is not stupid, the ancestor does not express his position, how can the slave and the maid say so much." ”
Dong Xue on the side glanced at Xia He when he heard this: "Why didn't the ancestor tell me?"
Xia He said proudly: "The ancestor said that you have a dull temperament and are not a good candidate for gossip. ”
