Chapter 30: Returning to the Jade House (3)
Tao took a few deep breaths before stepping into the main courtyard.
There were several large tables in the hall of the main courtyard, and the people of the Yu family and the Zhuge family who could be called masters were sitting in the hall waiting for the banquet to begin.
Everyone already knew that Tao had a peachwood sword given by the high priest in his hand.
The Jade Patriarch has a little love for Ah Tao, and because of the change in the attitude of the Jade Patriarch, others are not as easy to call and drink as Ah Tao as before.
Especially the eldest lady's attitude is particularly kind, taking the initiative to let Ah Tao go to her side, and holding Ah Tao's hand, as if Ah Tao also came out of her belly.
There are no concubines in the village where Ah Tao grew up, but there are those who have been sold to large families as concubines, and she only heard about the life of those girls as concubines from the old ladies chatting in the village.
I heard that the concubine had a low status, and the children she gave birth to also looked at the face of the housemother.
So after she arrived at the Yu family, she has been carefully guarding her duty, never pinching her head, and never thinking about asking for things that don't belong to her.
Only this time Yuping wanted the peachwood sword in her hand, she felt particularly aggrieved, did she really have to obey the master's mother as the old man in the village said?
The eldest lady pinned the broken hair on Ah Tao's forehead, "Why are you always so gloomy, this child?" I heard that you received the peach wood sword given by the high priest, and the family was not happy with you, so you must not have a smile on your face. ”
Tao laughed, but felt like a fool.
Yuping also sat on Ah Tao's side, "I only glanced at the peach wood sword, and I knew that the peach wood sword was a treasure." However, the sword is to raise the machine spirit to maximize the power, it is better to take the sword to a person with a higher cultivation first, and then return it to you when the machine spirit is raised. ”
Ah Tao didn't expect Yuping to be so direct, asking someone to do something in their village, they had to send something first, and then greet for two quarters of an hour before getting to the point.
The high priest said that she was not familiar with the monk's human feelings, and it did not seem to be an excuse to perfunctory her.
Ah Tao's silent appearance made the eldest lady and Yuping a little embarrassed.
The eldest lady's brother was here, and the jade patriarch also helped Ah Tao take out the peach wood sword.
The refiners of the Yu family are not as good as the first generation, and there are a lot of magic weapons that they practice on weekdays, but none of them are of the highest grade that can be used as weapons.
They still use the weapons collected by their ancestors, but as the family population grows, you and I will take one by one, and there will be no weapons left.
Even the weapons used by the Yushu Yuhuan, which is loved by Yuzheng, are not of the highest quality, so the peachwood sword in Ah Tao's hand that can raise a weapon spirit is very attractive to the Yu family.
The Zhuge family is not like the Yu family, and they don't look down on the behavior of the Yu family, but this peachwood sword is begged for by Yuping, and Master Zhuge can only help his niece.
Ah Tao knew in her heart that her status in the Yu family was low, and after handing over the peach wood sword, maybe the Yu family would promote her for two days, but this was all a show on the surface.
So she can't hand over this peachwood sword.
Ah Tao got up and staggered a few steps, this was the first time she had pretended to be sick, and she didn't know if she could succeed.
"I'm a little unwell, I'll go back to the room first, and I'll talk about the peach wood sword in a few days. ”
"You, don't leave, don't !!" An imposing baritone voice came from the door, and Ah Tao saw Yuzheng's masculine side for the first time.
The eldest lady looked at Ah Tao's frowning appearance, and stepped forward coquettishly, "Why are you so loud? ”
Yu Zheng pushed the eldest lady away, and the old man Zhuge on the side was a little displeased, and treated his sister like this in front of him, and he didn't know what kind of life his sister was living when he didn't come to Yu's house.
"Yuzheng, at today's dinner, why did you bring the concubine?"
Yuzheng reined in his voice, "Brother-in-law, I brought Xian'er here to get justice for my poor pair of children. ”
"Get justice for Yushu Yuhuan?"
"Yes, Xian'er told me that Yushu Yuhuan was killed by this little slut!! she not only killed a pair of my children, but also cut off Xian'er's lower lip. ”
Yu Zheng looked at Ah Tao as if his eyes were breathing fire, Ah Tao really didn't expect that one day his father would scold him for being a little slut.
The others heard Yu Zheng scolding Ah Tao angrily, but they didn't care about Aunt Xian's mother and son.
What they care about is how Ah Tao has the ability to kill the Yushu brothers and sisters, and also cut off Aunt Xian's lips, needless to say, this is all the blessing of the Taomu Sword.
Yuping's eyes rolled, "Ah Tao, why are you so impulsive! Give me the peach wood sword, so that you don't accidentally hurt others again." ”
Ah Tao looked at the hungry wolf-like room of people, and felt like weeds growing in the cracks of the stones.
Tender Miao can still find a way to survive in the stones, how can she, as a person, accept her fate like this.
"The peachwood sword was given to me by the high priest, and I won't give it to anyone. Yushu Yuhuan was killed by the father-in-law of Montenegro, and as for Aunt Xian's lips, it was because her was cut by the cicada. ”
Aunt Xian cried and leaned lightly on Yuzheng's arm.
"Master, you see that she dares to say this about me in front of you, and she will naturally disrespect her brother and sister when you are away. My Yushu Yuhuan is a concubine and a concubine, but she hurts you one day, what should I do if she hurts the patriarch?"
Ah Tao bit her lower lip tightly, there were so many people in the room that no one believed what she said, and some people even wanted to deal with her family law.
Only Zhuge Jian said, "If you want to deal with Cousin Tao in the family law, it is best to take out the evidence to convince the public." ”
Aunt Xian looked at Zhuge Jian dissatisfiedly, "The eldest young master helped her talk like this, I guess it was very pleasant to be alone with this slut for a few days!"
"I'm just seeking truth from facts, Aunt Xian, don't be too excited. ”
"Where is your turn to interject in the affairs of the elders. ”
Aunt Xian roared fiercely, she really hated Ah Tao.
Although she went out today, as long as she looked closely, she could see that the color of her newly grown lips and chin were not well connected under the layers of fat powder.
She is favored by Yuzheng with her beauty, and she shouldn't have come out until her lips have completely recovered.
But she really waited too long, she was afraid that Ah Tao would not dare to go home, and when others came to ask her about the cause of the death of the Yushu brothers and sisters, God knows how hard it took her not to tell Ah Tao.
This time, she wants Ah Tao to live rather than die.
Seeing that his son was shouted at angrily, Master Zhuge snorted coldly, "A plaything dares to yell at my son, it's really unruly." ”
Yuzheng hurriedly apologized to Master Zhuge , "Brother-in-law, my concubine is eager to avenge her children, and when this matter is resolved, I will take her to make amends to you." ”
Master Zhuge shook his head and left the main courtyard with the people of the Zhuge family.
When only the Yu family was left in the hall, the trial of Ah Tao had just begun.
Ah Tao pinched the phoenix-shaped jade jue in her hand, if she really pressed her tightly, it would be a big deal to be buried in the fire together.
