6 The second wave is fatter
Jiang Chen followed behind Cui Yourong, crossed the ten-zhang wide circulation from the arch bridge in the west, and came to Anshen Garden.
The garden is planted with all kinds of rare herbs and strange flowers, at this time in late spring and early summer, the wind moves and the flowers fall, the faint fragrance bursts, thousands of flowers, pavement several layers of the ground, such as the beginning of the snowfall, it is very beautiful.
In the middle, there is a flowing meandering water surrounding, duckweed is full of ponds, green and clear, and there are colorful crucian carp swimming in it.
In the center of the island, there is a pine and maple forest, revealing a shining glazed tile roof, like a golden island.
It's just that the style is too graceful, which makes Jiang Chen doubt the family status of his future father-in-law.
"Does my father-in-law live here too?"
(Note: There have been minor adjustments in the previous chapter.) )
In the medicine garden, Cui Yourong shook his head.
"The relationship between my mother and my grandmother was not very good, and my mother decided to move out of the inner city separately, but my father did not leave the house, and he could only see my mother during the Chinese New Year, and he died depressed more than ten years ago."
Jiang Chen felt something in his heart, and sighed:
"I can't imagine that the Xiuzhen clan also has a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law problem."
Cui Yourong added:
"My mother's name is Li Lanxiang, and she is a princess of the previous generation."
"Oh."
The princess of the Tang Dynasty has a fierce style, is used to being brutal and domineering, and brings you a hat from time to time, and no one wants to marry a bodhisattva and go home.
In the Xianwu era, the life span was long, and the number of surviving princesses in Chang'an City exceeded a hundred, and the princesses of the previous generation who married out had little power, at least Jiang Chen had never heard the princess name Li Lanxiang.
What's more, there are still rumors in the market that when Emperor Chaotian Shun won the throne, the relationship with the princess of the previous generation may not be good.
The brutal and pungent princess is not used to living in the Xiuzhen clan with many rules, and it is difficult to bridge the friction, so it is understandable to move out and live separately.
However, a princess is a princess after all, and the Baicao Garden sounds quite low-key, but across the valley is the hunting ground, and the style of the inner garden is proper royal style.
Interestingly, the new Chang'an City is an outer circle and an inner circle, while Baicao Garden is an outer circle and an inner circle, and Jiang Chen doesn't know what it means.
Seeing Jiang Chen fall into silence, Cui Yourong said with relief:
"But don't worry, my mother just looks more serious, and she is still very talkative...... Same with me. ”
Jiang Chen glanced at Senior Sister Jade beside her, who suddenly had her hands behind her back and became gentle and moving, no matter how you look at it, it is not very real.
"It turns out that Senior Sister is very talkative?"
"I'm a good talker."
"Then why did my senior sister threaten to kill me to force me to get married?"
Before the words fell, a cold wind blew.
Jiang Chen trembled, and a black shadow seemed to flash in the afterglow of his left or right eye.
He turned his head stiffly and looked at his senior sister in dismay.
Unexpectedly, the senior sister smiled sweetly.
"I didn't force you, didn't you secretly like me? Although you ate wild mushrooms and hallucinated, but when you saw the phantom beast and knew to hide, why did you run straight to me when you saw me? ”
Jiang Chen's tone was suffocated, and he was speechless.
Subconsciously think carefully about an hour ago.
At that time, he did see Senior Sister Cui, but the person was still in a trance, and the soul did not completely take over the body.
After hearing the explosion in the river, the ghost beast cried, and the passers-by screamed before they suddenly woke up, even so, the body was still sluggish for a few breaths, if it wasn't for the senior sister to come to the rescue, it was likely that he couldn't even do the action of sliding and shoveling, so he turned into a cold food and was buried in the mouth of the beast.
The truth is so, but right now, the cold wind is swishing around Jiang Chen's body, and his breath is a little solemn, and he doesn't plan to explain it anymore.
"Jiang has indeed admired his senior sister for a long time, but men are slow to heat, and when they met for the first time, they asked me to marry my senior sister in one step...... Can't we talk about the love of the country first? ”
"You'll die faster, stupid!"
Cui Yourong said with a look of resentment, suddenly took Jiang Chen's hand, led him slowly into the pine maple forest, wandered in the winding path, and then arrived at the mysterious Anning Palace.
My sister's hands are a little cold, but they're really soft......
Jiang Chen was intoxicated, as if he was wandering in a dream.
to the palace gate of the Palace of Tranquility.
Two maids in the shape of palace maids stood guard outside the door.
"Miss, Uncle, Madame has been waiting for a long time."
The two walked briskly into the Anning Palace.
The cloud sandalwood in the palace is the beam, the water jade is the lamp, the beads are the curtain, and the fan gold is the foundation, all of which are shining.
The ground is paved with white jade, embedded with gold beads, chiseled for the lotus, and the soles of the feet are warm and moist when stepping on it, and the steps are vivid, silky and smooth.
Through the bead curtain, I saw a rich figure sitting behind the curtain, the shadow was sufficient, and it was like a mountain after the rain.
"Come in."
I only heard the voice of the woman behind the curtain as majestic as the hanging moon, solemn and weak.
Cui Yourong lifted the curtain and entered.
Jiang Chen stayed in the front hall.
Cui Yourong saw his mother sitting cross-legged on the couch, and hurriedly sat on the edge of the couch and stretched out his hand to give Li Lanxiang a pulse.
"Mother, are you feeling better?"
Li Lanxiang was slightly startled, and she was still a little uncomfortable with her suddenly sensible daughter.
"You have turned down so many family affairs, but you suddenly brought a mortal husband home, can your mother be well?"
Cui Yourong smiled:
"It's still better than mortals, besides, he's pretty good-looking, isn't he?"
Li Lanxiang calmed down for a moment and asked:
"You...... Is it called Jiang Chen? ”
Jiang Chen bowed his hand through the bead curtain.
"Jiang Chen has seen his mother-in-law!"
Just listen to the inside of the curtain:
"Your mother-in-law called too early, enter the curtain and stretch out her right hand."
Only then did Jiang Chen lift the bead curtain and stride into the inner hall.
The tent is embroidered with pearls and silver threads and begonia flowers, and the wind is moving, like falling clouds and mountains and phantom seas.
On the agarwood couch, the two sides put away the shark silk treasure tent.
Mother-in-law Li Lanxiang sat cross-legged on the couch.
Wearing a purple and red thin gauze, his shoulders are covered with a white shawl like a cloud, his head is tied in a high bun, his forehead is painted with flowers, and his eyebrows are worn with sideburns.
Slightly opened a little open collar, covered with a layer of white veil, vaguely white, ups and downs, revealing a fairy aura that is not commensurate with the plump body.
The skin is as white as the moon, and the fragrance is refreshing.
The posture is graceful, which is called the rhyme.
For Datang women, topless skirts are formal wear.
It took Jiang Chen a long time to get used to this, and his eyes became decent.
The mother-in-law is rich and more generous than her daughter, but after all, she is a cultivator, and she is quite restrained and modest.
Seeing his mother-in-law's mind, Jiang Chen was 100% sure: Senior Sister Cui is biological!
It seems that even if you encounter troubled times in the future, you will not be worried about having children with your senior sister.
Although Li Lanxiang's facial features are slightly inferior to her daughter, she is also dignified and beautiful, with a good demeanor, except for some imperceptible crow's feet at the corners of her eyes and a little tiredness in her eyes, she is also the best.
Her cultivation is also seventh-grade, but the spiritual pressure she exudes is relatively weak, and she seems to be ill.
In terms of strength, the mother-in-law is indeed inferior to Cui Yourong and Wuyue.
However, it was difficult for Jiang Chen to understand that a Dan Master was so weak...... Could it be that a long-term illness has become a good doctor?
Jiang Chen came to Li Lanxiang, lifted the cuff of his right hand, and stretched out his wrist tremblingly.
Li Lanxiang raised her hand and pinched his blood.
Closed his eyes and frowned, and slowly bowed his head, and said for a long time.
"The spiritual vein is weak, the heart vein is stable, and the five elements are endowed with heavenly waste, and it is not easy to have such a heart vein, no wonder the skin is so thick."
What about the joy and quietness that is good? It's a poisonous mother-in-law!
Jiang Chen thought to himself, no matter how thick-skinned I am, can I have your daughter's thick-skinnedness?
However, for the sake of his mother-in-law's red envelope, he still endured it.
"Mother-in-law is overrated!"
"Despite your mediocre talent, you're on the verge of breaking through."
Li Lanxiang had a heart in her heart, took out an indigo-blue, quail-egg-sized elixir, and put it in Jiang Chen's palm.
"This is the Qi Refining Pill I refined with my own hands, you are ready to rush to the level, take it in the spirit bath, and it will be enough to enter the product in three days."
Qi Refining Pill!
This is the first high-grade divine pill in the cultivation realm!
Jiang Chen's dream of three years is more valuable than the jade scales given by his sister-in-law.
I didn't expect one wave to be fat, and the second wave to be even fatter!
Jiang Chen held back his excitement and silently put away the pill.
Still, he was a little worried about his talent.
"Is the three-day purchase too rushed?"
Li Lanxiang only said:
"Only by refining qi as soon as possible can we get married as soon as possible, so as not to have extraneous branches."
Jiang Chen vaguely sensed a hint of trouble.
"Extraneous branches?"
Li Lanxiang sighed and spoke eloquently.
"Over the years, I don't know how many people have come to Baicao Garden to propose relatives, but I have all resigned on the grounds that you are dedicated to the Tao and do not like the private feelings of my children.
The most recent time, it was the Zhang family's proposal.
The Zhang family advocated that he was a friend of Yourong's father before his death, and now he has been promoted to the Ordnance Supervisor, ranking among the supervisors, and his status is second only to the superintendents, and it is likely that Qiu Gong'an is inserted in the eyes of the Ordnance Supervisor.
His youngest son, Zhang Yunshan, is an eight-grade Confucian student, and he is also a talent, if the Zhang family knows that Yourong is about to get married, or even marry a mortal, the Zhang family may not give up. ”
Senior Sister Cui thinks of herself as high and has always rejected many suitors, Jiang Chen is understandable, what he doesn't understand is:
"With Lord Jianzheng here, do you still need to worry about the Zhang family?"
Li Lanxiang said:
"This marriage was mentioned by Rong Taizu's mother, and Lord Jian Zheng also agreed, as the granddaughter-in-law of the previous princess who insisted on breaking away from her family, I don't have much power anymore."
Jiang Chen was stunned.
I thought to myself, is it too late for me to regret it now......
"Since my senior sister and I have such obstacles, my mother-in-law is still willing to see me?"
Li Lanxiangdai's eyebrows frowned slightly, and a pair of beautiful eyes stared straight at Jiang Chen.
"In my opinion, you are indeed a first-class waste, and you can't compare to Zhang Gongzi...... But remember, you can underestimate yourself, but don't underestimate your intuition for tolerance. ”
