The two fathers and sons exchanged pleasantries for a while, and before they knew it, it was already late at night.

Jing Wushuang wanted to talk to his son Bingzhu, but he had to go to the morning court tomorrow, so he gave up.

Jing Shaoling returned to the room and pondered his father's words just now, and a trace of waves appeared in his heart, if he hadn't been a monk for this secret, I'm afraid his father wouldn't have told him today.

The four surnames of Xiong, Qu, Zhao, and Jing are headed by the Xiong royal family on the surface, but in fact, they are secretly competing, and the three major families have the support of the sect behind them, and they are not so respectful to the royal family, but only on the surface.

Even if Cui Yingying is the inner disciple of Longhe Mountain, it is not worth the Chu Emperor to spend a lot of money to win over, originally Jing Shaoling was still a little strange, but after his father's explanation, he vaguely knew the truth.

It turned out to be a knotted ancestor of the Xiong clan of the Chu State in Longhe Mountain, less than ten years away from the limit, but after the death of this ancestor, it will definitely make waves.

The three major families of Qu, Zhao and Jing are actually eyeing the throne of Chu, and it was the strength of the Xiong clan that was strong in the past, and the three major families bowed down to their orders, and later after a war broke out with the Qin State, the Xiong clan died a lot of monks, and the strength was greatly reduced, so the prestige was declining.

Fortunately, hundreds of years ago, a genius came out of the Xiong family, and after worshipping Longhe Mountain, he built the foundation in just over ten years, and formed a golden pill in a hundred years.

At present, this Jiedan ancestor only has ten years of life left, and the Xiong family of this generation is not in good shape, and there are no outstanding children, so he feels anxious.

Once this Jiedan ancestor sits down, the Xiong clan of Chu State loses the suppression of the three major families, and the situation will become precarious, maybe the emperor's throne will not be stable.

And Cui Yingying is talented, born in the Qinghe Cui family, for the Xiong family can be described as an innocent family, the ancestor learned about it and personally sent a message to the head of Longhe Mountain, and accepted him as an apprentice, on the condition that he marry the current prince.

In this way, I believe that with the personal support of the head of Longhe Mountain, the royal family of Chu State can breathe, with Cui Yingying's talent and the resources of the elder of Longhe Mountain, it is not impossible to hope for the future of Yudan, so that the luck of the Xiong clan of Chu State for hundreds of years can be described as a deep calculation.

It's just that this kind of secrecy can't be hidden at all in the other three major families, after all, there are sects behind these three major families, and a little inquiry will figure out the secret.

"It turns out that my Jing clan also has a foundation building a perfect ancestor practicing in the Heavenly Demon Sect, this is my Jing clan's hole card and backer, no wonder my father has no fear, Cui Yingying, if you are interested, it's okay, if you don't know interest, I'm not the same person I used to be, let's see!"

Jing Shaoling thought about it and fell asleep groggily.

The next day, early in the morning.

"Second brother is up, get up!"

Qingmei's voice chirped outside the window.

"Qingmei, what's the matter so early?"

Jing Shaoling rubbed his eyes and replied lazily.

"What you promised people yesterday, I'll think about it now, second brother, you can't break your promise, I'm going out to buy and buy!"

Qingmei's voice was filled with joy and excitement.

Jing Shaoling couldn't cry or laugh, it turned out that it was for this, and he couldn't help but feel a little headache.

"Qingmei, why don't you be late, the second brother and my father talked late yesterday, let me sleep more!"

Jing Shaoling said.

"Huh, big lazy pig, get up quickly, or I'll be angry!"

Qingmei stood at the window and pouted, and said angrily.

"Okay, I'm afraid of your young sister, so get up!"

Jing Shaoling wants to cry without tears, and with such a little sister, I really don't know if it's a blessing.

The two walked out of the Jingyang Hou Mansion and walked to Zhuque Street, they didn't come back for many years, Jing Shaoling's memory was a little unfamiliar, Yingdu still changed a lot, and I didn't know where it was lively.

Qingmei is very familiar, taking Jing Shaoling to walk around, and after a while, she came to a crowded street, which seems to be Qinglong Avenue, and Jing Shaoling has a vague sense of familiarity.

There are a total of four main streets in Yingdu, named after the four divine beasts, namely: Vermilion Bird, Xuanwu, Green Dragon, and White Tiger.

"Qingmei, what are you bringing me to Qinglong Avenue for?"

Jing Shaoling asked.

"Of course it's to buy something, I don't understand it, stupid second brother!"

Qingmei glanced at Jing Shaoling, with an outdated expression.

Jing Shaoling had no choice but to let her take her to wander around, this Qinglong Avenue remembered that it was not so lively before, why did it suddenly become so crowded now, countless shops lined up on the roadside, as well as wine shops and teahouses.

Jing Shaoling couldn't help touching his head, and sighed in his heart, he hadn't come back for ten years, and he was really outdated.

"Qingmei, I remember that it wasn't so lively here before, why is it different now!"

Jing Shaoling still couldn't help the doubts in his heart and asked.

Qingmei glanced at him and said, "Second brother, that was before, since Wanbao Pavilion opened a branch here, it has naturally become lively here. Wanbao Pavilion, it is said that there is everything in it, as long as the price is paid, everything can be bought, and it is said that there are immortals in it!"

Qingmei looked envious.

"Wanbao Pavilion, this is not a force outside the sects of various countries, this force is said to specialize in selling all kinds of treasures, pills and intelligence, he has heard of this force in Longhe Mountain before, although it is not like a sect, but all the sects are very polite to Wanbao Pavilion, and they don't want to offend, I didn't expect to open a branch to the capital of Chu State. The immortal in Qingmei's mouth should be the monk of Wanbao Pavilion!"

Jing Shaoling was slightly surprised.

"Let's go, stupid second brother, what are you doing in a daze!"

Seeing that Jing Shaoling was a little absent-minded, Qingmei glared at him and said with a snort.

The two walked on Qinglong Avenue, Qingmei looked very excited, chattering along the way, pulling Jing Shaoling into one shop after another, bargaining with the shopkeeper, but in the end she didn't buy anything.

In the blink of an eye, the two had been shopping for more than an hour, Jing Shaoling hadn't eaten breakfast at this time, and he was already grunting with hunger, but looking at Qingmei's energetic expression, it was obvious that she had just entered the state.

can't help but have a headache, no wonder my father said that he didn't like to go shopping with his mother, this woman is really troublesome.

"Qingmei, you've been watching it for so long, just tell the second brother if you want anything, it's better for you not to buy anything!"

Jing Shaoling said helplessly.

"Cut! Second brother, tell you to go shopping with me, look at your reluctance!"

Qingmei glanced at him, and in an instant, her face changed suddenly, and she said with an aggrieved expression: "Second brother doesn't love me anymore, I haven't seen you for ten years, and you just dislike me when you come back, woo!"

The woman's face changed when she said it, and Jing Shaoling couldn't help but have a big head.

"Okay, good, good! Qingmei, is it the second brother, the second brother apologizes to you, you can go shopping as long as you want!"

Jing Shaoling hurriedly apologized.

"Hee-hee, that's pretty much it!"

Qingmei burst into tears and smiled, where were the tears in her eyes.

"This little liar!"

Jing Shaoling was completely defeated by her.

The two walked around, and in a blink of an eye, half an hour passed, and Qingmei finally took a fancy to something, this is a shop specializing in rouge gouache, the decoration is very luxurious, and it is obvious that what is sold is not ordinary goods.

Qingmei was staring at a box of pink rouge at this time, a little moved.

The boss is a sharp-eyed person, and hurriedly introduced: "This girl has good eyes, this is high-grade rouge powder, which is purchased from the Qin State, and the raw materials are made of a kind of red flower on the Yanzhi Mountain on the border of the Qin State. ”

"Yanzhi Mountain, I know, I heard that it is the holy mountain of the old enemy of Great Qin, the ghost car country, it is said that there is a flower on Yanzhi Mountain that has not been thanked for many years, and it is a good material for making rouge, could it be it?"

Qing Mei'er stared at the boss in surprise with round eyes.

"The girl is so knowledgeable, but she is a rouge powder made of unwilted flowers on Yanzhi Mountain!"

The boss gave a thumbs up and exclaimed.

"Okay, this girl asked for it, how much does it cost?"

Qingmei asked happily.

"Since the girl likes it, ten taels of gold will be taken, if it weren't for the last box, I wouldn't be willing to sell it so cheaply!"

The boss said with a look of loss.

"Second brother, pay!"

Qingmei commanded boldly.

Jing Shaoling nodded, touched it from the storage bag, and took out a gold ingot.

There is not much else, but there is a lot of gold, all of which were obtained by killing those monks, and these monks are only in the condensation period, so they have prepared a lot of gold, which is cheaper for Jing Shaoling.

was about to hand it to the boss, when suddenly a voice sounded: "Slow, I want this box of rouge!"

A young girl in a green shirt walked in, carrying a horsewhip in her hand, followed by three young men, all richly dressed, apparently rich boys.
