Chapter 18: Can Red Sleeves Add Fragrance?
In the Ning Mansion of Lanxi County, this time is extremely lively. Since Zhang Zhi took his wife and children back to Ningfu with Ning's mother.
Under Zhang Luo, Zhang Zhi's wife, the originally deserted Ning Mansion instantly became vibrant.
Zhang Zhi's wife was an orphan girl whom Zhang Zhi met when he was wandering in the north, and later there was a great drought in the northland and starvation everywhere.
In order to survive, Zhang went south with Zhang Zhi. On the way, the two fell in love for a long time and finally got married.
Later, after Zhang Zhi settled in Lanxi, Zhang followed Zhang Zhi to work backwards and forwards, which can be described as a rare virtuous help.
Almost all the industries under Zhang Zhi's name have a share of Zhang's credit.
Originally, Zhang Zhi was strongly opposed to the transfer of the property under his name. Later, after the Battle of Erlong Mountain.
With the permission of Ning Caichen, Zhang Zhi clarified the identity of Ning Caichen's immortals, which dispelled Zhang's dissatisfaction.
After the initial shock, Zhang soon entered a new role, the world loves money, but no matter how much money can be, in the end it is not turned into a handful of loess, and in the end it will occupy the three feet of land. But the immortals are different, the immortals not only live with the sky, but also can ride the wind and travel above the nine heavens, very comfortable.
Although Zhang has never read a book, he doesn't know what to say. But there is one thing that Zhang knows better than anyone else, that is, after becoming an immortal, he can live a long life.
It was an immortal that even the emperor wanted to find but couldn't find, but he didn't expect to be touched by his own man, which was simply a blessing for his family for several lifetimes.
Don't complain in your heart, it's too late to wait.
No, not long after he moved into Ning Mansion, he renovated the entire Ning Mansion as a housekeeper. Even Ning's mother, who has always been bad at praising people, exaggerates her ability.
There is Zhang's management at home, and occasionally Zhang Zhixiang helps, so Ning Caichen's time has been greatly saved.
Therefore, during this time, Ning Caichen's small life was not comfortable.
In addition to reading books and practicing swords, he can have a drink with Zhang Zhi in his spare time, which can be described as very relaxing.
But relaxation does not mean that Ning Caichen has slacked off in his practice. On the contrary, Ning Caichen was always thinking about improving his cultivation.
But sometimes, forcing doesn't necessarily lead to good results, especially on the path of immortals.
So proper relaxation is also a kind of practice.
"Look at the sword when you drink to the moon, and read at night with red sleeves, hey, little fox, you said you, you have lived for three hundred years, how can you not even transform into a shape, if you can transform into a shape, I can also realize the wish of adding fragrance to the red sleeves." Ning Caichen put down the scroll in his hand, stroked the little fox lying lazily on the table, and chuckled.
After listening to Ning Caichen's words, the little fox, who was already sleepy, suddenly raised his fluffy little head, stared at the pair of pitiful big eyes and said, "This can't be blamed on others, who called them underage and didn't get the inheritance of the Spirit Fox clan." ”
As soon as he said this, the little fox suddenly glanced at the courtyard in front of Ning Caichen with a smug face and said, "Otherwise, Brother Caichen, you cut half of the little ginseng in the courtyard to me, and I will be able to transform immediately." ”
Regarding the little fox's request, Ning Caichen hurriedly shook his head and refused: "Cut half to you, then you don't want the life of the little ginseng, no, the little ginseng is my apprentice, how can you pit your own apprentice as a master." ”
Seeing that Ning Caichen refused again, the little fox's eyes rolled and said: "Then it's okay not to cut half of it, it's okay to cut a ginseng whisker for me, I think this little ginseng should have been refined for at least five hundred years, and a ginseng whisker can almost make me transform." ”
"No, the little ginseng was corroded by tungsten and almost died. During this time, the body is in a weak state, and a ginseng beard will also consume most of the vitality of the little ginseng. Ning Caichen still shook his head and refused.
Hearing that Ning Caichen still shook his head and refused, the little fox pouted, and said reluctantly: "In this way, half a ginseng whisker is fine, I will be an adult in three years, with the immortal power of this half ginseng whisker, my bloodline can be stimulated early, as long as the bloodline is stimulated, I can transform into a shape." ”
"Half a root won't work!" was rejected by Ning Caichen.
Seeing this, the little fox rolled his eyes helplessly and said with a look of disdain: "This is not good, that is not good, Brother Caichen, I think you are a stingy ghost." ”
After listening to the little fox's complaints, Ning Caichen was not angry, and shook his head with a smile and said: "It's not stingy, it's just that Shenwa is really weak now, and after a while, Shenwa recovers, and I will ask Shenwa to give you a ginseng beard." ”
The little fox, who was originally complaining, suddenly heard Ning Caichen say that he wanted to give himself a ginseng beard, and immediately smiled, and a pair of fluffy little paws hugged Ning Caichen's arm and rubbed: "I'll just say it, it's better to Brother Caichen, and when the little fox transforms, I will study ink for Brother Caichen for a lifetime." ”
Seeing the speed at which the little fox changed his face, Ning Caichen smiled and slapped the little fox's head and said, "You little fox, don't complain about me, just grind it for me." ”
Regarding Ning Caichen's evaluation, the little fox muttered and said: "How can I complain about Brother Caichen, even if Brother Caichen didn't let the little ginseng give me ginseng just now, I won't complain about Brother Caichen." ”
"Really. ”
"En. ”
"Then don't give it. Ning Caichen said with a straight face.
"Brother Caichen, how can you be like this, a big man doesn't talk much. In an instant, the little fox was unwilling.
"Haha, I'm kidding you, I saw that you just said that you didn't blame me, and as soon as you finished speaking, you were anxious. ”
Seeing that Ning Caichen was joking, and thinking of his appearance just now, the little fox's little face instantly turned red.
Seeing the little fox's blushing face, Ning Caichen laughed a few times and began to read again.
And because the little fox was teased by Ning Caichen just now, when he saw Ning Caichen reading, he didn't dare to disturb him, so he lay his little head next to Ning Caichen and began to fall asleep again.
For a while, only the sound of Ning Caichen reading aloud was left in the room.
..............................
In the afternoon, Ning Caichen had just taken a nap, and he wanted to read for a while, but suddenly received a report from Zhang Zhi saying that Wang Xin, the young master of the Wang family, asked to see him.
When the two arrived in the hall, Wang Xin had been waiting in the hall for a long time when he saw Ning Caichen come in. Hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
"Student Wang Xin, I have met Master Ning. Compared with a month ago, Wang Xin has returned to his previous state.
Seeing Wang Xinchong doing something to himself, Ning Caichen hurriedly stepped forward to support him and said: "Prince Wang, you and I are both talented and famous, there is no need to make such a big courtesy, if it is seen by others, it will not be good after all." ”
"But, Master Ning, you are Yuan'er's master. Wang Xin hesitated.
"Yuan'er is Yuan'er, you are you. Didn't I tell you before, people and ghosts have different paths? It's not good for you two to be together. Hearing Wang Xin say Ruan Yuan, Ning Caichen frowned.
Seeing that Ning Caichen did not agree to be with Ruan Yuan, Wang Xin's face showed a look of loneliness. Ning Caichen on the side saw this, and his heart crossed a touch of unbearable.
But in the end, I suppressed the unbearability in my heart. Because Ruan Yuan and Wang Xin took two different paths, Ruan Yuan's cultivation was already in the realm of ghost generals, and the road behind was still very long. And Wang Xin is just a mortal, only a hundred years old, even if the two are together now, they will still be separated after a hundred years, rather than let Ruan Yuan be sad alone after a hundred years, it is better to cut off the relationship between the two now.
Because he has been an orphan since he was a child, Ning Caichen has a paranoid sense of protection for his relatives, and now Ruan Yuan, as Ning Caichen's apprentice, can also be regarded as Ning Caichen's relative, so Ning Caichen would rather hurt Wang Xin now than let his apprentice be sad in the end.
Seeing that Wang Xin didn't speak, Ning Caichen paused for a moment, and was about to open his mouth to send off the guest: "If Wang Gongzi has nothing to do now, please go back." ”
Hearing that Ning Caichen was going to drive him away, Wang Xin came back to his senses, and at the same time, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Actually, there is one more thing in the mansion today. ”
"What's the matter?"
"It is the matter of rebuilding the City God Temple that Ning Shi said half a month ago, and now my father has demolished the people to rebuild the City God Temple, and the stone platform on the mountain has also been laid, and it has been agreed with the county order, and the day after tomorrow will be consecrated for the City God Temple, and then Ning Shi can go to the opening ceremony. ”
After speaking, seeing that Ning Cai didn't speak, Wang Xin's face darkened, and he bowed lightly to Ning Caichen, and then turned around and left.
As soon as he walked to the gate, he suddenly heard Ning Caichen's voice behind him: "If you really like Ruan Yuan, it's not impossible, but the premise is that you have to pass my test, if you pass the test, I will fulfill you." ”
Wang Xin, who was already desperate, after listening to Ning Caichen's words, a touch of ecstasy instantly welled up on his face, turned around and knelt down at Ning Caichen, kowtowed three times in a row and said, "Wang Xin, thank you Ning Shicheng." ”
Seeing this, Ning Caichen sighed softly, and in the end, he was still soft-hearted after all.
"You go back, after the City God Temple is opened, you come to my house, I will put you to a test, if the test passes, I agree that the two of you will be together, if you don't pass, then you will die in the future, and swear that you can never disturb Ruan Yuan's cultivation again." ”
After Wang Xin listened to Ning Caichen's words, a touch of perseverance flashed on his face, and he bowed to Ning Caichen again: "I will definitely not let Ning Shi down." After speaking, he turned around and left the Ning Mansion.
Seeing Wang Xin's figure gradually disappear, Zhang Zhi on the side finally couldn't help but speak: "Master, with the nature of Wang Xin's son, can he really stand the test?"
"It's hard to say whether it's a saint, maybe Wang Xin can really stand the test. Heavenly Dao 49, there is still a glimmer of life, not to mention us, we always have to give people some hope. ”
After listening to this, Zhang Zhi nodded, and then stopped talking.
Seeing Zhang Zhi's appearance, Ning Caichen shook his head slightly and said: "You don't need to say it, I know what you think, when the time comes, I will pass on to your wife a volume of exercises practiced by female immortals, and you can't let your husband and wife immortals be separated forever, as for your son Zhang Yue, he will worship under my door at that time, as a third-generation disciple, I will personally teach his exercises at that time." ”
After Zhang Zhi listened, his face was suddenly full of excitement, and he knelt on the ground and screamed at Ning Caichen.
