The challenge in the hall continued. Gao Feng saw that Luo Tuowei was at a disadvantage but not in danger, so he pulled his junior brother Song Pingcun and started talking.
"Junior brother, it's time to recruit disciples for another year. Do you have any ideas?"
"Well, so fast!" Song Pingcun then remembered that it had been almost a year.
"Would you like to go and see the new test audition?" Gao Feng stared at his junior brother, wanting him to agree. Since the restrictions in the alchemy room have been broken, he doesn't care about more, as long as he doesn't take action and changes his clothes so as not to attract other people's attention.
"Okay! It's been almost a year since my eldest sister came to Nandu City and she hasn't even gone to see it. I don't know what it's like." Song Pingcun didn't expect Gao Feng's purpose of asking him to go.
"Okay, then I will ask Zhang Kuo to take you around Nandu City. After adjusting it, Fatty will not let him go down the mountain for the time being. Cultivation is important." Gao Feng looked at the disciples who were coming and going in the field. They didn't look very good. He is smart, but when it comes to fighting, he knows more and more how to keep it under the radar. The slightest miss is becoming less and less noticeable.
Song Pingcun went to the elixir room to ask Chen Haisheng for a bottle of Yingni elixir, and specifically asked for the lowest elixir, thinking that it would be given to his eldest sister, which was enough for ordinary people.
The day before the test audition, Zhang Kuo accompanied Song Pingcun to Nandu City. He did not dare to take Song Pingcun to the courtyard where he usually rested in Nandu City. After asking Song Pingcun about returning to the Song Mansion where he had never lived for a day, he relaxed a little. Take a breath.
Along the way, he secretly fought off the children of these families in Nandu City, feeling extremely nervous. He was temporarily summoned by his master whom he had not seen for a long time, and only then did he have the opportunity to return to the Deacon Hall within the sect. When I saw my master, I didn't dare to address him. Their master-disciple relationship had to be severed more than ten years ago.
He learned that he was escorting Elder Song to Nandu City, and asked him to listen to Elder Song's opinion during the audition. Originally, I had no intention of hosting the ceremony this year, but after hearing Master's instructions, I had to call another deacon back.
The two came to the gate of the Song Mansion. Song Pingcun, who had changed into a disciple's green gown, saw Liu Yiyi waiting on the roadside not far from the gate. He turned to Zhang Kuo and said, "Deacon Zhang, I saw many people along the way. Everyone seems to have something to ask you, so go and do your work, I will be there on time for the test tomorrow."
Zhang Kuo's face turned red. He thought he had done it very concealedly, but Song Pingcun discovered it. There was no need to tell lies. He replied: "Elder Song is very aware of everything. In fact, just like you last year, these things are not the same." So shirkable.”
"Well, go ahead, that's right. It's a great achievement for you to be able to find outstanding seedlings for the sect." Song Pingcun suddenly realized that the tone of his words had changed a lot. From an ignorant young man, he actually started to think about his sect.
Zhang Kuo finally breathed a sigh of relief and said goodbye.
"Young Master" watched Zhang Kuo leave before Liu Yiyi came over.
"Well, you said it was similar to the courtyard of his hometown in Songji Town. I thought it was just a courtyard, but it turns out it looks like a mansion." Song Pingcun looked at the door and frowned.
The gate of Song Mansion is actually similar to the gate of Luo Family.
You must know that ordinary doors are not built at will. The most practical sentence is that only how capable you are can have a big door, because it is face.
"Young master, you'd better ask your eldest sister yourself. I don't dare to talk nonsense." It's not that Liu Yiyi doesn't want to say it, but she really doesn't know. She didn't think she should care about the people in the Song family at all, and except for the young master's sister, she actually had nothing to do with the young master.
"Let's go and have a look first!" Song Pingcun didn't ask any more questions. Take the first step, the distance is less than ten feet, and it doesn't take much time to walk slowly over.
The two guards at the door were wearing uniform blue jackets with the word "Song" embroidered in silver thread on their collars. The two of them saw someone approaching and said in unison: "This is the Song Mansion, who are you looking for?"
Song Pingcun stopped at the door. He had never been back before. The faces of the two of them were unfamiliar, and their accents did not sound like those from Songji Town. He said, "I am Song Pingcun."
"Song Pingcun?" The two of them seemed to have never heard of this name. They looked at each other and said, "Who are you looking for?"
The two guards looked at the visitor. They were extremely ordinary, with nothing outstanding about them. Although the maid behind them was glamorous, her name and appearance were unfamiliar after all. Visitors from families with greater reputations in Nandu City usually sent people to inform them in advance. At first glance, this obviously unfamiliar face was not from everyone in Nandu City. Although he didn't sound strong, his tone was beginning to be a little impatient.
"Two slaves, didn't you hear the young master say who he is?" Liu Yiyi behind him was not used to it, and stepped forward to scold him.
Perhaps these words angered the two of them, and one of them started to sound arrogant: "Who knows who you are! I don't know who you are looking for, can you just enter the Song Mansion?"
"What are you making! Don't you know Madam needs some peace and quiet?" Before the high-pitched voice could finish, a shout came from inside the door, and a maid in a pink dress came out.
"Sister Hongcui" The two guards changed their faces quickly and bowed immediately.
"It's noisy at the door of the Song Mansion, what are you talking about!" The woman called Hong Cui was walking with a delicate small fan in her hand. She first lowered her head to scold the two guards, and then raised her head. The fan fell to the ground, and he knelt down with a thud.
"Miss Liu, please spare your life!" Hong Cui's voice began to tremble.
At this time, Liu Yiyi was standing in front of Song Pingcun, blocking her body, so Hong Cui didn't see who was behind him. Although Song Ping had lived in the Luo family for a few days and had met him before, the temperament of the rural boy a year ago was completely different from the one he has today. Even Hong Cui might not be able to recognize him at a glance.
But Liu Yiyi hasn’t changed! Even the clothes on her body have not changed, they are exactly the same as a year ago. Before being "picked up" by the deacon of Po Yuan Zong, he specifically told Hong Cui and Lu Yi that the house of the young master in the courtyard should be maintained at all times and could only be cleaned and no one could move in.
During that time, Hong Cui and Lu Yi had seen Miss Liu's methods. She spent money like water without blinking an eye. They were completely different from Zhang Shuyou who was now the head of the family.
"You haven't seen the young master yet?" Liu Yiyi didn't say anything else, but stepped aside, revealing Song Pingcun standing behind him.
"My servant Hong Cui has seen the young master, please forgive me." Hong Cui didn't even dare to raise her head, and she didn't even think about who the young master was in Liu Yiyi's mouth.
The two guards next to them were dumbfounded. What happened? Sister Hongcui, one of the house managers, knelt down to apologize. She also knelt down quickly, her back instantly wet with sweat.
"Everyone, get up! I don't blame you if I don't know you. Please pay attention to your tone from now on and don't look arrogant. Where is my sister? Take me there." Song Pingcun didn't really mind, but he was a little unhappy with the one he was escorting just now. Tone. Just like the first time he went to Chungju City and was blocked by the young boy in green from Citron Pavilion, this was his own home after all, and it was hard to fall out the first time he came back.
"Young Master, I will lead you." Hongcui breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, and turned to one of the guards and said, "Wang Er, you have quick legs and feet, hurry up and inform the master and his wife."
Song Pingcun and Liu Yiyi followed Hong Cui and walked quickly without any hurry. Hong Cui was in front and they were behind.
"Sir, I think there are two more people entering the side courtyard here." Liu Yiyi walked and looked at it, and also explained to Song Pingcun why it was different from what he said at the beginning.
"Miss Liu has good eyesight. Not long after you left to serve the young master, more and more people came to the old man's and his wife's home. The wife followed Miss Liu's instructions when she left and kept the young master's room. It seemed a bit tight for a large family to live in. A month ago, the master purchased two more courtyards and opened them up." Of course Hong Cui knew the cause and effect, she and Lu Yi knew it better than anyone else in the house.
"Where are you from?" Liu Yiyi heard something wrong in Hong Cui's words.
"They are the young master's brother-in-law and sister." Hong Cui's heart skipped a beat, and she was shocked. This title was probably too high in front of this real master. However, what can she do if she is in charge?
"Yiyi, it's okay. I don't know how many years it takes to come back, so they can help me guard it. Don't worry about it." Song Pingcun heard what Liu Yiyi meant. He really didn't care about these little things.
"Little brother, little brother." As he was talking, a woman rushed out from the central hall. She was pregnant with Liujia and seemed to be close to giving birth. It was Song Pingwan, the eldest sister who married a scholar from the Zhang family in the neighboring village in Song Pingcun's memory.
Song Pingcun stepped forward, stretched out his hand to support him, his face was filled with joy. A man in a brocade suit from behind walked out leisurely and said with a smile: "Long time no see, I've grown a lot taller!"
Song Pingcun gave gifts to his sister and brother-in-law one by one, and the family returned to the central hall and sat down.
"Sister, I didn't know you were pregnant with Liujia. My brother came back from the mountain in a hurry this time. I just wanted to bring you some Yinyi Pills. I will make up for it later." Song Pingcun took out a porcelain bottle from his arms and handed it over.
