Chapter 27: Accidents
"This plate of lotus root flour cake is steamed in the small kitchen for half a day by myself, how about you taste it?" Xie Qingning held a plate of crystal clear pastries in both hands, sat at the table with a flattering expression and said to the black cat.
The black cat glanced at her, stretched out her cat's paw and picked up a fragrant pastry, but muttered, "Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief!" ”
The smile on Xie Qingning's face condensed slightly, and he resisted the urge to roll his eyes and continued to smile.
Seeing that the black cat's eyes lit up after eating one piece, but she didn't mean to eat the second piece, she rolled her eyes and asked, "Is the medicine scripture I memorized yesterday still accurate?" ”
"Okay." The black cat licked the whiskers on her lips and nodded in evaluation.
"Then when are you going to give me some tips?" Xie Qingning asked.
The black cat closed her eyes and ignored her, Xie Qingning was angry, and when she was about to persuade again, she listened to the Zheng and Yanyu coming back from outside the courtyard with a smile, she had to put the plate on the table, and turned around and walked out of the hall.
When her figure disappeared behind the door, the black cat ate another piece of pastry and muttered, "I don't know how to cherish what is easy to get, and I don't think it's time for you to cultivate the Dan Dao now, so it's better to wait until you get the Dan and then distract yourself from practicing the Dan Dao, so that you can get twice the result with half the effort." ”
Xie Qingning, who was standing quietly behind the door, heard this sentence, and his heart moved slightly.
It is true that if she gives up halfway to repair the Dan Dao, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not be a waste of time. After all, the Dan Dao is difficult, and regardless of whether she knows how to refine the pill or not, it is the medicinal materials needed for the trial that can make her bankrupt, and with her meager monthly example, it is unrealistic to want to buy a large number of medicinal materials.
The so-called alchemist, in addition to the differences in Dan Jue, Tinder, Furnace Ding, and talent, the most important thing is that a large number of medicinal materials are needed to constantly try and improve, and experience is very important, but in this way, it is necessary to spend a lot of money on the procurement of medicinal materials, otherwise why are Dan masters so rare that it is difficult to find gold?
Even if Xie Qingning really became an alchemist, the Xie family didn't have enough funds for her to rise from the first rank to the ninth grade, not to mention her embarrassing identity, how could the Xie family spend a lot of money for her and spend a lot of money to train her to become an alchemist? If she succeeds, it's fine, but if she fails and delays her cultivation, wouldn't she lose her wife and lose her soldiers, and she would be busy working in vain?
On the contrary, if she marries the Dan early, she can get the attention of the Xie family, and then whether it is the tilt of resources or the supply of monthly cases, it will be many times stronger than now, and then negotiate with the Xie family, maybe there is still the possibility of becoming an alchemist.
After figuring it out, Xie Qingning's depressed mood suddenly improved, a bright smile appeared on his little face, and he asked the zither who had already walked into the courtyard, "How is today?" But did you see Steward Xie? ”
"I found it," Bang Zheng smiled between his eyebrows, and hurriedly stepped forward to answer, "Chief Steward Xie heard that Miss was breaking through in retreat, and immediately promised that he would arrange someone to prepare the list we sent to me as soon as possible, and I think it will be implemented in less than three days." ”
"That's very good." Xie Qingning smiled, "Then when you went to the main courtyard, did you hear any news from the side?" ”
Yanyu hurriedly said, "Yes, I heard that there was a great event in Lanling City, and it was rumored outside, and even the housekeeper on the other side of the main courtyard was discussing it in private, and I also heard that ......." ”
Bang Zheng glanced at her and said, "As long as you talk a lot, let me say it, you can confuse the young lady like this." ”
Hearing this, Xie Qingning's heart jumped, and he unconsciously asked, "What's the big deal?" ”
Yanyu shrunk his neck and didn't dare to say anything more, so he cleared his throat and said, "Miss doesn't know, I heard that three days ago, in the 'Qunying Pavilion' in the east of the city, Lan Mingzhi, the eldest son of the Lan family's second room, beat Han Shaofei, the third son of the Han family's long room, because of a trivial matter, and the beating was very serious, and he couldn't get out of bed for three days. For this matter, the Lan clan quarreled with the Han clan, and the city lord was alarmed to come forward to reconcile, but the Lan clan insisted on refusing to bow his head, and the Han clan opened his mouth again, which is really difficult to solve now. ”
"Oh?" Xie Qingning raised his eyebrows, "Then do you know what trivial things they are fighting like this for?" ”
"I know, I know," Yan Yu held back for a long time, and finally found an opportunity to hurriedly say, "It's not for the Oiran Su Ying girl in the Qunying Pavilion, I don't know how many young masters in the city spend a lot of money just for Miss Bosu to smile, that Lan Dagongzi and Han Sangongzi are both ministers under Miss Su's skirt, three days ago it was exactly the fifteenth moon night, according to the rules of the Qunying Pavilion, who can solve Miss Su's exquisite chess game can become the guest of the scene, the two sons can't solve the chess game, but they have different opinions, so the resentment that has been pent up for many days occurs together, This is an uncontrollable situation. ”
"As far as you know," Bang Zheng glared at her, her words were full of ridicule, and after the smoke and rain, she realized that the "Qunying Pavilion" was also a place of wind and moon, and she was so familiar with it, she couldn't help blushing and her heart was hot, and she didn't dare to say anything more.
Xie Qingning didn't care about this detail, because she remembered that Miss Su Ying.
In her previous life, Su Ying was also a popular figure in Lanling City, but later she appeared in the Immortal Competition, and defeated the unknown Xianmen disciples in Lanling City, and won the ninth place, which caused an uproar in the whole city for a while, and became famous.
She still remembered that Su Ying later worshipped the current Lanling City Lord Mo Wenxi's wife as a teacher, and went to Dongzhou with her to participate in the semi-finals, although she did not have a deep friendship, but only two of them were women among the top ten disciples of Lanling City, so it was inevitable that she would be impressed.
Xie Qingning thought about it carefully, this Su Ying was eliminated very early in the Dongzhou rematch, so that she didn't know what happened to the other party in the end, it seemed that when she returned to Lanling City to serve as the head of the Xie family, she had never seen this girl again, so she must have stayed in Dongzhou City.
After all, Dongzhou City is either rich or expensive, and the family of cultivating immortals is like a spark burning the plain, no matter which family she Keqing is in, she will have more opportunities than staying in Lanling City.
"Miss, what are you thinking?" Seeing her in a daze, Yanyu asked curiously.
Xie Qingning smiled, turned around and went back to the house.
