Chapter 18: Spiritual Guidance
The news that the seventh lady of the Ji family was invited back by the head of the Ji family quickly spread all over the streets and alleys, much faster than Ji Yan taking the carriage back to the Ji family.
Ji Yan got off the sedan chair at the door of Ji's house, and there was already a circle of people watching the excitement at the door.
"This is Miss Ji Qi?"
"It's pretty good! It's a pity that it's a waste of wood. ”
"Not anymore! Yesterday, I beat Miss Si and vomited blood, which is amazing! ”
"Really?"
"Nature is true. Why else take her home? ”
Ji Chengfeng got out of the carriage, coughed lightly, the coercion dispersed, and the surrounding discussion quickly stopped.
"Come on, silly boy, what are you doing standing there? Let my aunt see how she has looked in the past few years? Is the old mansion okay? Has anyone bullied you? How did you recover from your illness and run back without saying a word, but your uncle and I are worried! ”
There were two other people next to him who were also chattering. Ji Yan is estimated to be the uncle's two concubines.
Men here can marry concubines, especially some big families have to pass on the lineage and continue the bloodline.
The higher a cultivator's cultivation, the more difficult it is to have children. Some families are just wives who do not have children, and they specialize in marrying concubines who are not high in cultivation to inherit the bloodline. As long as these children are on the genealogy of the lineage, they are all lineage, not concubines. These concubines can also be nominally called Madame.
The higher the cultivation, the longer the lifespan, and in the end, only couples with comparable cultivation can grow old together, and those concubines are just fertility tools, but they are actually quite pitiful.
However, with the cultivation level of the subject country, the fertility problem is not big.
As far as she knew before, her eldest aunt had a son and a daughter, the eldest lady Ji Qingshuang was 18 years old, and the third young master Ji Qingqiu was 16 years old. Her eldest aunt seems to be just from a small family with no name, but her cultivation talent is very good, and like her eldest uncle, she is a great spirit master who has married Dan.
The second lady of the uncle, I heard that she is a dusty woman, but no one dares to discuss this carefully. She has one daughter and two sons. The second lady Ji Qingya, the eldest Ji Yan is 3 years old, and now 17. And the fourth young master Ji Qingyang and the fifth young master Ji Qingfan are twins, both 15 years old.
The uncle's third lady is a side branch of the Si family, and her cultivation talent is not high. It was an accident to follow Ji Chengfeng back then, but it also had a bit of a marriage. She gave birth to a daughter, who was Ji Qinglan, the sixth lady that Ji Yan met yesterday.
Her aunt and these aunts are so enthusiastic, Ji Yan is a little unbearable. Is this a series of questions for her to answer, or is it just a question?
Ji Yan simply didn't bother to care, only saluted according to etiquette, smiled back, and didn't reply to any words on the side.
Sure enough, her aunt was just talking, and she didn't want her to answer.
"Come inside, it's already packed. Jian Zhu, take Miss Seven to see the house. ”
The Ji family is very large and is divided into two courtyards. The inner courtyard is inhabited only by the descendants and those who are recognized by the descendants, while the outer courtyard is where the children of the collateral line and the children of the outer family name live.
Ji Yan's house is also in the inner courtyard, which was originally her father's, and the words "Youtianju" are still hanging on it. It's said to be a house, but it's actually a small yard.
"The clerk has seen the young lady, and the third lady ordered the clerk to come and serve the young lady." As soon as I entered the courtyard, I saw a little maid coming up to meet me.
Tut-tut, these three ladies and six young ladies, she remembers that the relationship with the Si family is not ordinary, so she specially sent a little maid here, what do you want to do?
"Shouldn't the maid be assigned by the eldest lady?"
"Miss Hui, according to the rules, each Miss of the Ji family must be equipped with a big maid and four little maids. But Miss, the big maid on your record is not there.
"The eldest lady said, Miss Little Maiden, you can take a fancy to any spare person in the family, or buy a few by yourself, and then go to the housekeeper to register.
"The third lady is afraid that you will not know many things at home not long after you return, so she sent slaves and maids over to serve. If you don't want it, you can also send the paperwork to the housekeeper. ”
The little maid looked a little scared, and she didn't know if the third lady had explained something or if there was something wrong with going to the housekeeper.
"Please miss, don't send the slave to the housekeeper!" The clerk suddenly knelt down and hugged Ji Yan's shoes.
"What's wrong with the housekeeper?"
"Miss... Miss housekeeper he ......"
"Since you are disobedient, then send it away."
"Miss! The subordinates who gave it to the housekeeper were all guilty of committing a crime, and they would be toyed with and sent to Fenghua Building! ”
That's exactly what happened! Ji Yan has received a different education, she can understand the group of wives and concubines, and she can also see the affairs of men and women, but rape is unacceptable in any era.
Also, Fenghua Building, why does it sound so familiar?
"Yan'er!"
"Little uncle!" She remembered, her little uncle! Didn't they all say that he didn't do his job, lingered in Fenghualou, and then fooled around with some fox friends and dogs, but didn't go home? It's this Fenghua Building!
"Uncle is here! I thought you wouldn't be back. ”
"Yan'er is here, why don't I go back?" Her little uncle is wearing a water-blue brocade dress today, looking like a playboy, and he looks very similar to the legend of unruly business.
Ji Chengshou also brought someone in.
"Yan'er, his name is Ji Ying, he is one year older than you, he is a distant cousin of yours, he lost his parents for some reason, and he was fostered in my name."
This cousin is a head taller than Ji Yan, wears a moon-white robe, and his face does not have the sense of bohemianism of the little uncle, but a gentle and elegant feeling.
"Ji Ying, I've seen Miss Seven."
"Didn't you mean cousin? Then it's good to be a brother and sister directly. ”
"Shadow has a good talent, like me, he is a dual Feng Shui system, and now he is a mid-level Spirit King. When you comprehend the essence, you can learn from each other. After that, the two of you can also go to study at the Zhongyuan Imperial Academy together, how about it? ”
"That's good! It turns out that my cousin is so powerful! ”
Ji Ying smiled shyly. "My cousin is also very good!"
"In that case, tomorrow I will take you to meet a friend, who has a very high cultivation, and let him help you comprehend the original spirit.
"Yan'er, you don't have to be restrained in the Ji family, you have a little uncle behind your back to support you in whatever you do. You can ignore what they want you to do if you don't want to. ”
"Third child, do you still know that you're back? I heard that the second girl was instigated by you not to go home. You can't get enough of the Ji family outside? ”
"Speaking of which, what your little girl said about Yan'er is not the Ji family, how can it be counted on my head?" Ji Chengshou winked at Ji Yan, and with a hippie smile, he abducted Ji Chengfeng, who had not yet entered the yard, away.
Ji Yan decided to talk about the little maid's matter later. Although the intention of the document is not pure, it is true that she knows more about the affairs of the Ji family. Moreover, Ji Yan is not afraid that she has any thoughts.
In one day, Ji Yan recognized who the masters of the small courtyards in the inner courtyard of the Ji family were, how to go to the library pavilion and the martial arts field, and so on.
Although there was no talent test or elemental affinity test, her uncle seemed to already know her spiritual attributes. I guess it was the little uncle who said it for her. She had to test again, and she didn't know what kind of affinity it would be.
In the evening, Ji Yan received the cultivation resources that the Ji family's descendants had every month. In addition to the routine bottle of one-product melting elixir, a bottle of hemostatic powder, there are also three spiritual skills.
A fire-based yellow-level high-level spiritual skill, the spark is bursting; A wood-based yellow-level high-level spiritual skill, thorny road.
There is also an auxiliary spiritual technique-Spiritual Channeling Technique, which is only allowed to be cultivated by the descendants, and it is said that the Ji family has developed by it.
