Teach 13
Murong Jin stole a day to accompany the mother and son, and they had a great time shopping together. From their rich spoils of war, it can be seen that they had a lot of fun, most of which were things for the child, and Li didn't buy too many things for herself. Instead, there were many miscellaneous small items, including a cricket cage, which was for Yuwen and Qi Ge, who had agreed to go cricket fighting together.
Holding two children to the main courtyard to pay respects to the old lady, Yuanyu and Qige arrived at the main courtyard, and they carried their spoils of war and rushed excitedly into the inner room.
"Grandma, Grandma, I and brother bought a quail, look at mine is bigger than his." Yuanyu carried the quail cage hopping into the inner room.
"Who says that crickets aren't about size, it's about who can win in the end, do you understand?" Qi Ge's cricket was belittled and he immediately became displeased.
"Oh, my dear grandkids are back! Did you have fun?" The old lady opened her arms and hugged the siblings tightly, putting her hands on their backs to feel if they were sweating or cold. Only when she felt neither did she nod in satisfaction.
Wan Yu's little face was flushed with excitement, her bright eyes sparkling as she said: "We also went to Tianqiao to watch the acrobatics show, it was so much fun! That monkey could do so many tricks, and that little girl was amazing, she could balance plates on her head, and climb so high! Grandma, I gave her some silver coins as a reward, don't you think I did the right thing? Mother said they were poor people who had to perform to make a living, with the silver coins they can buy food, isn't that great?"
Maybe after sending out the martial arts secret book, her mind was at ease. Yuanyu had a great time playing in the market and Tianqiao, it's been a long time since she had such a relaxing and carefree day. Today, she also became a real child again, and she and her brother played wildly together.
The old lady looked at Li with a nod of approval, a smile on her face: "You're doing the right thing. Remember that good deeds will bring blessings. It's right to help poor families in need, but you have to be mindful of the degree. If it's just children and their elders aren't around, then giving them money would actually harm them. Giving them a mantou instead is more suitable. You'll understand these things better as time goes on."
Wanyu couldn't help but admire the old lady, who was not only shrewd but also kind-hearted. She considered everything thoroughly and didn't just blindly do good deeds without thinking about the potential dangers behind them. This made Wanyu very respectful of the old lady and Li Shi, from whom she had learned a lot over the past three years - knowledge that she hadn't previously understood.
In her first life, she was only 16 years old when she got into a car accident. Many things didn't have time to learn from her parents. In her second life as a spiritual cultivator among the demon clan, her true form as Qinglian is something that countless people dream of possessing, and whoever sees it will definitely try to take it for themselves. Therefore, whenever she senses human presence, she must run far away to be safe, not daring to get close to humans even half a step.
As a harmless spiritual cultivator, wanting to survive is truly a cautious and careful step, not only do humans want to eat her, but also many powerful demon cultivators want to eat her to increase their powers. She lives an extremely difficult life, which has also cultivated her almost unchangeable timid and cautious personality.
She has a kind of intuition for danger, after thousands of years of practice, from ignorance to sophistication, what has been lost is not only innocence but also the good heart as a human being, becoming more and more indifferent is an inevitable thing, all of which are actual experience in exchange for bloody lessons.
She once saved a person out of pity, but unexpectedly almost got caught herself. From then on, she would never casually help others again.
Wanyu's eyes were filled with gratitude and admiration, she nodded seriously, "I'll listen to grandma." Wanyu leaned her head against the old lady's chest, closed her eyes and let out a soft sigh, feeling warmth in her heart, it was great, this was her family!
The old lady held Yuwen, her aged palm slowly caressing her back, the faint scent of sandalwood emanating from her body, calming Yuwen's anxious heart, her eyelids began to droop, and she fell asleep unknowingly.
When she woke up again, she was already asleep in the old lady's warm room. The sky had begun to darken and her stomach was a little hungry. She stretched her waist, this was the best and sweetest nap she had slept for many years. It seemed that all the gloom in her heart had gone with the wind. This was the power and courage given by family.
The old lady, Li, who was the most favored by the host, lifted the curtain and took a peek. She found that Yuwen had woken up and was sitting alone on the bed, staring blankly with her rosy face and sleepy eyes. Her lovely and pretty little face made people want to take a bite of it.
The old lady smiled and walked in, touched her palm which wasn't cold, then said: "Little miss, are you hungry? Shall I take you to eat?"
Wan Yu nodded and stretched out her arms obediently, making Li Ayi laugh with joy, "Well-behaved."
The old lady turned her head and saw Li Ayi carrying out Yuwen, immediately smiling: "Oh, my dear grandson woke up, come quickly, to grandma here, grandma made you a silver ear porridge."
Wan Yu climbed onto the kang, and Li Ayi handed her a cup of warm honey water. She drank it all by herself, gurgling away, then looked around and didn't see her brothers. Curious, she asked: "Where are Big Brother and Second Brother?"
The old lady stroked her smile, and the joy in her eyes couldn't be hidden. Yuwen's heart skipped a beat, wondering if they had discovered the secret recipe she had given them, which would be great.
"They were called away by your father. Yuwen, tell grandma what books you all picked out at the bookstore?" The old lady indeed asked about this matter.
Wan Yu counted on her fingers and said, "The book of stories, and the secret manual of the great knight's martial arts." She made a flying and escaping gesture, standing on the kang to demonstrate to the old lady.
The old lady couldn't help but laugh and said to herself: "I'm also confused, why am I telling you this, how would you understand?"
Madam Li handed over the teacup with a warm smile and said, "Old lady, our family's young miss is a lucky person. Otherwise, how could she be the only one to get the real secret recipe while others go to pick it every day but can't pick it? This is the blessing of heaven for our Murong family."
The old lady nodded with a satisfied smile, her sharp eyes gazing at Yuwen with a few more serious and solemn looks, "You're right, this child is indeed blessed with good fortune. People say that dragon and phoenix births are auspicious and bring great benefits. I used to think it was just a good omen, but now it seems that perhaps the heavens really are blessing the Murong family."
She paused for a moment and continued: "This year's rice donation, we must donate more grain, it is essential to be sincere and genuine, it is not allowed to replace with old rice. Whoever dares to have evil thoughts and ruin the reputation of my Murong family, I will flay her alive."
The old lady's eyes rolled over, and a majestic aura emerged from her body.
Old Mrs. Li immediately nodded and replied, "Don't worry, old lady, I will personally supervise this matter, guarantee that nothing goes wrong, every year is the same, I know what's going on inside."
The old lady nodded in relief, "From now on, Yuwen's monthly allowance will be the same as mine. After the yard is cleaned up, take out all the screens and decorations from my warehouse and put them away. A girl's home should be tidy and elegant, or it won't look like a proper home at all. It looks like our family is going to collapse just like a snow cave."
The old lady had a life of wealth and glory, she didn't like people who pretended to be poor or humble with fake appearances, it was too fake that it made her teeth ache.
"Rest assured, I've overseen the renovation of the courtyard myself, it can't be wrong."
Wanyu listened silently and sat on one side playing with the jade ring, this was to tidy up the yard for her, she wouldn't be able to sleep with her brother for much longer, as they grew older, her brother couldn't rely on her anymore, this was also why she was anxious to take out the secret recipe.
The flower blooms with its own perfect ancient words:
