Chapter 2 Shame on oneself
After Qing Paper carefully served Jiang Shuli to clean her face, Bi Yu and Mo Lan walked over from the cubicle with the skirt and accessories they had prepared.
Jiang Shuli has a total of four first-class girls, namely Qing Paper, Yan Ju, Biyu and Mo Lan. Qing Paper and Yan Ju served closely, while Bi Yu and Mo Lan were responsible for taking care of the cages.
Qing Paper has always been skillful at combing hair, and soon combed Jiang Shuli's double flat mustache, took a white jade pear hairpin and inserted it into the black hair, looked at the two sets of skirts in the hands of Biyu and Mo Lan, and asked softly, "Miss is still going to school at the academy today?" ”
"Go." Jiang Shuli nodded, "Let's go and say hello to my grandmother first, and then go to the academy." ”
Hearing this, Biyu and Mo Lan took the pale cyan plum blossom fine lines and waist soft smoke skirt and waited for Jiang Shuli to put it on. It is inconvenient to dress complicatedly in college, so it is suitable to be light and elegant.
When everything is finished, Yan Ju will also tie the stone strings, and the blue and blue silk threads are wrapped around the stones, woven into plum blossom silk threads, and tied around Jiang Shuli's waist.
After breakfast, Jiang Shuli left Biyun Pavilion with green paper and went to Shou'an Hall to greet his grandmother.
Biyun Pavilion is not far from Shou'an Hall, about a stick of incense time, the master and servant two through the hand-copying verandah, passing by the exquisite courtyard, and arrived in front of Shou'an Hall.
Soon, a mother-in-law greeted her with a smile, it was Mama Li who was waiting in front of the old lady of Changninghou, "The eldest lady was injured yesterday, and the old lady went to Biyun Pavilion to see it and was sent back by the eldest lady, and she has been anxious." Fortunately, in the evening, I heard that the eldest lady had woken up, and the old lady was relieved. I will be very pleased to see the eldest lady today. The old slave was also very happy. ”
Jiang Shuli smiled gently, and walked with Mama Li to Shou'an Hall, "It's really unfilial piety for granddaughter to worry about grandmother, thank you Mama Li for your concern." ”
Walking into Shou'an Hall, Jiang Shuli saw that her mother and the second lady Luo were already sitting on the side, and looked at her with a smile. The old lady of Changning Hou, her grandmother was sitting on the bed of the rosewood inlay enamel painted gold porcelain plate painting landscape Arhat, and Jiang Shuqi, the granddaughter of the second room chief sitting on the embroidery pier next to her, was coaxing the old lady to laugh.
Jiang Shuli walked forward unhurriedly, and bowed to her grandmother in a dignified manner, "Shuli greets grandmother." ”
Old Madam Changning Hou looked at her lovingly and asked with concern, "Get up quickly." Shuli, are you doing well? Does your forehead still hurt? Do you have any other discomforts? ”
Jiang Shuli straightened up, raised her little face and said with a smile, "It is the granddaughter's unfilial piety to make grandmother worry." I practiced my luck last night, and this morning I was already doing well. ”
The old lady of Changning Hou was very relieved when she heard this, and smiled and bowed her head.
Then, Jiang Shuli greeted her mother-in-law, the eldest lady of the big house, the Ouyang family, and the second lady of the second room. After the ceremony, the big maid beside the old lady went up to the embroidery pier and let Jiang Shuli sit on the left hand side of the old lady.
The old lady looked at Jiang Shuli with a smile and asked about yesterday's events.
Needless to say, Ouyang's concerned gaze has never left his daughter.
The second lady Luo had a smile on her face, but the smile did not reach the bottom of her eyes, "Our Shuli is the person on the tip of the ancestor's heart, even my second aunt is so distressed!" ”
Jiang Shuqi heard his own mother say this, and he was immediately unhappy in his heart and pouted. She turned her head away, and just happened to see a cluster of figures flashing by the door, and opened her mouth to say, "I heard that the eldest sister is the highest cultivation in Ling Ze's class, it's really amazing!" ”
Jiang Shuli raised her eyebrows when she heard this, she had just been to the academy for a few days, how could there be any rumors? Besides, her cultivation is only in the middle and upper class of Ling Ze, how can she say that she is the highest?
She caught a glimpse of Jiang Shuqi looking out of the house with a lustful gaze, and her heart suddenly became clear.
And at this time......
"Ancestor!"
The third lady of the third room, Liu's thin voice, sounded, followed by a sparse sound of footsteps, "Daughter-in-law to the ancestor to say goodbye, it's a little late today, it's really Shuxin, this kid is too diligent in cultivation, delaying time, and please don't blame the ancestor!" ”
The old lady watched Liu come over with her three daughters, frowning slightly between her eyebrows, she had always been a little unaccustomed to the little family spirit of the third room, but her eyes fell on the fair girl directly behind Liu, and she stretched back.
"Greetings to Grandmother!" The three girls saluted in unison.
"Get up," the old lady nodded, "It's a great thing that Shu Xin has recently broken through the third layer of Qi training. But remember to practice diligently to stabilize the realm as soon as possible. ”
Jiang Shuxin, the only daughter of the third lady of the third room, is nine years old this year. Last year, after the spirit root was detected to be the second spirit root, he began to practice qi, and in just one year, he practiced to the third level of qi training, which is not an exaggeration to say that he is a genius in the house.
There are only four grandchildren and grandchildren of the Marquis of Changning, and in addition to the three grandchildren of the Changfang, it is the granddaughter of the third room.
"Shuxin obeys her grandmother's teachings." Jiang Shuxin's face was pale, and she curled the corners of her lips and quickly glanced at Jiang Shuli, this eldest granddaughter who had been high in her mind for many years was just a five-spirit root, and she didn't even have the chance to be accepted by the sect. Moreover, her current cultivation has surpassed Jiang Shuli, and she can't help but be proud in her heart.
She paused, and then said, "Although my granddaughter has broken through the third layer of Qi training, she is only in the middle and upper ranks in the Nine Heavens Class, and I am still apprehensive when I think of the sect's acceptance of disciples in three years. ”
Raising a pair of bright eyes, he looked at the old lady with a slight pleading, "Can you ask grandmother to increase the use period of Juling Xuan for Shuxin by two days?" In this way, Shuxin will be able to stabilize the realm quickly, and ask my grandmother to fulfill it! After saying that, Yingying knelt down.
The old lady looked at Jiang Shuxin and did not speak.
Jiang Shuli raised her eyes to look at the old lady, then turned her head, looked at Jiang Shuxin with a smile, and said slowly, "Third sister, the Gathering Spirit Xuan in the clan is open to all the children of the Jiang clan who have spiritual root cultivation, except for the children of our Hou Mansion who are fortunate enough to use it for two days per month, the brothers and sisters in the rest of the clan can be divided into one day at most. The third sister has been practicing for a year, but she still doesn't know this rule? ”
Isn't it just relying on his outstanding spiritual roots and fast cultivation to get more resources? It's just a granddaughter who has three rooms, and now she really takes herself seriously? Jiang Shuqi sneered and continued, "I heard that the eldest brother of Tianlinggen has never asked for more than one day of Julingxuan to use the opportunity, doesn't the third sister want to go beyond the eldest brother?" ”
"Okay, okay," the old lady raised her hand, "Shuxin, the rules of the clan cannot be abolished, so don't mention this matter again." ”
Jiang Shuxin lowered his head, a haze flashed in his eyes, and he answered yes and sat down next to the third lady.
"By the way, I haven't had time to tell my grandmother yet," Jiang Shuli looked at the old lady with a smile, "Yesterday I received an invitation from my cousin, saying that my eldest cousin would return to the house with the sect's apprenticeship in the near future, and invited us to come over for a small gathering." said that the eldest cousin would explain the cultivation experience to everyone. ”
Jiang Shuxin's eyes lit up slightly when he heard this, and the unhappiness caused by the nail he had just touched was put aside, and he hurriedly looked up.
"Ye'er is back?" The old lady smiled, "I haven't seen you for three years, this child must have grown a lot." When you come back this time, you should gather together and listen to Ye'er's teachings. ”
"When is the eldest lady going?" The third lady patted her daughter's hand holding her sleeve soothingly, "But will you take our Shuxin with you?" ”
The third lady interjected so disregarded the etiquette, which made the old lady's dissatisfaction deepen, and she coughed lightly, "Shuli, what did you say on the invitation?" ”
Jiang Shuli smiled and said slowly, "This time, my cousin has invited cultivators from all the provinces, so I can bring my third sister with me." ”
