Because everyone had benefited from it today, Chang Yue took out the little Xiguang Trout he had left in the Mirror of All Things and planned to have a good meal tonight.
The number of Xiguang trout originally stored in Changyue was not large, but it could not support them from eating three meals a day before. Now they only had enough for the last meal.
However, Xiguang Trout is really powerful. After eating it for a long time, whether it is Changyue, Mulberry Leaf or Feng Granny, they all feel that the true energy in the body flows much more smoothly, and even the cultivation speed has slightly increased.
Because there was only this last meal left, Granny Feng decided to cook these Xiguang trout carefully. Although it did not need to be cooked, various seasonings were necessary and the cooking had to be more delicate.
At this time, there was a sudden knock on the door. Sang Ye quickly ran out and opened the door. It turned out that it was Mrs. Wang who was in front of the eldest lady.
But that's right, the only people who would come to their small courtyard were the people around the eldest lady.
"Mother Wang, are you here? But if the madam has something to do with my lady?" Sang Ye asked.
Mother Wang seems to be in a good mood today, and her smile is much more sincere than before. "Everything is fine over there, Madam. I'm here to deliver something to Miss Seventh."
Send things? Sang Ye looked down and saw that Wang's mother was indeed holding a wooden box in her hand. The wooden box was quite exquisite, but she didn't know what was inside.
"Then mom, come in, I'll call the lady."
Saying that, Sang Ye led Mama Wang into the house and sat down, and asked Ah Cai to pour tea for Mama Wang. She herself ran to Chang Yue and told Chang Yue what happened.
Changyue was also confused. Why did the lady want to give her something for no reason? Did the sun come out in the west today?
Normally, when nothing happens, the eldest lady will not pay attention to concubines like them.
When Mother Wang saw Chang Yue coming out, she immediately stood up and saluted Chang Yue with a smile on her face: "I've seen Miss Seven, please send greetings to Miss Seven."
"Wang...Mother Wang, there is no need to be so polite. Ahem...please sit down." Chang Yue held Sang Ye's hand, never forgetting her sick and weak persona, "I heard that Madam has something to give me, I don't know. What is it?"
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Wang immediately smiled and said: "Oh, Miss Seven, today's things are not given to you by my wife, but from our eldest lady."
Miss? Oh~ It’s Li Changning!
Speaking of the eldest lady of the Li family, Chang Yue roughly calculated that they had not seen each other for about six or seven years!
Li Changning was taken away by people from the Chaoyun Sect when he was ten years old. Changyue was only eight years old at the time, and now he hardly remembers Li Changning's appearance.
She only vaguely remembered that she was a little girl who had the air of an eldest sister. She behaved in a moderate manner and took good care of all her younger siblings, including Chang Yue, who had no sense of existence.
She is also the only Li family member who occasionally visits Chang Yue.
I didn’t expect that it had been so many years since she left.
"Is the eldest sister back?" Changyue asked with a hint of surprise.
"No way, our young lady is still practicing in Chaoyun Sect!" Speaking of the eldest lady, Mrs. Wang's face was full of pride, "Our young lady is busy, how can she have time to come back at this time."
The eldest lady Li Changning is not only the pride of Mrs. Wang and the servants, but also the pride of the eldest lady Luo Fengqiao, Li Xuan and the entire Li family.
Although the Li family often defied the City Lord's Mansion and even the Chaoyun Sect, due to some deeper reasons, they had to send their most talented descendant to the Chaoyun Sect.
Not only the Li family is like this, but the other four aristocratic families in Mingyue City are also like this. It's just that the other aristocratic families don't have talented disciples like Li Changning. Even if they are sent to Chaoyun Sect, it is almost impossible to get ahead.
But even if there is only a glimmer of hope, they will still send people to Chaoyun Sect.
The Li family wants to go further, and sending Li Changning to Chaoyun Sect is the only option at the moment.
The Chaoyun Sect recruits the most talented disciples from each family within its jurisdiction, not only to check and balance each family, but also to weaken the strength of each family.
As for whether the Chaoyun Sect is worried about the loyalty of the children of aristocratic families who enter the sect? That's not true at all. The reason why the top powers can stand firm in the midst of a pack of wolves is precisely because they have unknown heritage!
Mrs. Wang opened the exquisite box and saw a long and colorful dress inside.
Changyue likes to wear green skirts, and this skirt is exactly green.
Changyue was very surprised. She didn't expect that her eldest sister would still remember her preferences after so many years.
"So... so beautiful!"
Sang Ye couldn't help but exclaimed, but no one cared about her rudeness at this time.
Seeing Chang Yue staring blankly at the long dress in the box, Mrs. Wang thought she was stunned by the surprise, so she picked up the long dress and shook it open and said:
"Miss Seven, our eldest lady personally selected this for you.
Look at this fabric. It is woven from spring mulberry silkworms and dyed with dyes made from blue leaves. The patterns on it are natural. Wearing it is not only warm in winter and cool in summer, but also can protect against ordinary swords, guns, swords and halberds. Woolen cloth!
This skirt is a rare treasure, and no other one can be found in the entire Mingyue City.
Miss Seven, you must remember the kindness of our eldest lady..."
Mother Wang kept talking about the greatness of the long skirt in front of her, completely ignoring the identity of Chang Yue's master.
Even though Mrs. Wang usually abides by the rules and is always submissive and respectful in front of Chang Yue, in fact, she despises Chang Yue from the bottom of her heart.
Now when talking about the eldest lady, she forgot herself for a moment and actually exposed her true attitude.
Chang Yue's expression didn't change much, but Sang Ye became more and more upset the more she listened, so it showed on her face.
At this time, Mrs. Wang finally noticed Sang Ye's face. Her voice stopped suddenly, and she realized that she was getting carried away, so she put down the long skirt in her hand with an unnatural expression.
She was about to say something more when she saw Granny Feng walking in with a straight face. Granny Feng saw her attitude just now.
To be honest, although they are both martial arts practitioners, Mrs. Wang is actually quite afraid of Granny Feng, because she has suffered losses at Granny Feng's hands, so she couldn't help but wince.
Grandma Feng strode to the table, packed up the long dress, put it back in the box, and said to Mother Wang in a cold voice:
"Since Mrs. Wang's things have been delivered, let's go back to Madam's place to get back to her. There is no room for a giant Buddha in our small courtyard!"
"Hey~"
Mother Wang responded and escaped from Chang Yue's courtyard in embarrassment.
When she got out of the courtyard, Mother Wang realized how embarrassed she had just been, so she spat hard into the courtyard.
"what!"
——————
Seeing Mrs. Wang leaving, Granny Feng nodded at Sang Ye's forehead and said, "What do I need you for? Miss, don't you know what to say when you are bullied? You are a piece of wood!"
Chang Yue said helplessly: "Okay, mother-in-law, after all, I belong to the madam. I won't give you face if I don't do it. My madam has treated me very well these years."
Granny Feng snorted coldly: "I remember Madam's goodness, but how can it be their turn for those slaves to dominate? Next time something like this happens again, I don't care who he is, I will just beat him. Yes!"
Changyue was amused by Granny Feng's angry look, and couldn't help but hold her arm and said: "Okay, okay, I know my mother-in-law loves me the most, and you can hit her hard next time, no one has to worry about it!" "
Hearing this, Sang Ye stamped his feet anxiously: "I feel sorry for you too, Miss. Just now... I just didn't have time to take action."
Granny Feng rolled her eyes at her: "I don't know what kind of virtue you are? You're just a loser!"
(;´༎ຶД༎ຶ`) Sang Ye suddenly burst into tears.
On the other side, Mrs. Wang returned to Madam Wang’s yard and went to see Madam.
Luo Fengqiao was playing with a long sword, which was also sent back by Li Changning.
A disciple of the Chaoyun Sect went out to do some business and happened to be passing by Mingyue City, so Li Changning asked the senior brother who was doing the business to bring back gifts. There were gifts for his parents, brothers and sisters, and they were all selected according to their respective circumstances.
What Luo Fengqiao got was a sword that was as sharp as clay.
Seeing Mrs. Wang return, Luo Fengqiao asked without raising her head: "Have the things for Miss Seven been delivered?"
Mother Wang smiled and said, "That's natural."
Luo Fengqiao stopped talking after hearing this, but Mrs. Wang seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Luo Fengqiao said impatiently: "If you have anything to say, just say it!"
Mother Wang immediately hesitated and said: "Miss Seven seems to be dissatisfied with the gift given by the eldest lady..."
"Not satisfied?" Luo Fengqiao suddenly raised his head, "What's going on?"
"Miss Qi and I talked about the gifts from the other young masters and ladies. Miss Qi felt that the gifts given to her by the eldest lady were not as good as those from the other young masters and ladies, so... so she was a little... unhappy." Mother Wang replied hesitantly.
Hearing these words, Luo Fengqiao raised her eyebrows slightly. She was pretty herself, and her expression suddenly became sharp as soon as she did this action. However, Mother Wang kept her head down and did not notice the change in her master's expression.
"Mother Wang, how long have you been following me?" Luo Fengqiao asked casually.
"Madam, it's been eight years." Mother Wang replied.
She was originally a child of the Li family. She used to work as a second-class maid for the old lady (Li Xuan's mother). Later, the old lady disappeared, and she was transferred to the current lady by the former head of the family (Li Xuan's father).
Now the old lady and the former head of the family are gone.
"It's been so long..." Luo Fengqiao sighed with emotion, "Then why do you return... Why did Mother Wang bring gifts from other young masters to Miss Seven?"
Hearing this, Mrs. Wang fell to her knees with a plop and said in a trembling voice: "Madam..."
Luo Fengqiao carefully put the sword back into the brocade box, then looked at Mother Wang and said: "For the sake of you staying with me for so many years, forget what happened today. If there is a next time..."
Mother Wang is actually very loyal to Luo Fengqiao, but she sometimes thinks too highly of herself.
Mother Wang quickly kowtowed and begged for mercy: "I don't dare anymore, I don't dare anymore!"
——————
On the other side, Changyue and the others were happily eating Xiguang trout. Their mood did not get worse because of Mother Wang's rudeness. Even the two bison kept at the door received two bundles of high-quality fodder.
Not to mention Hongyu, who is Changyue's pet, has eaten her fill of poisonous flowers and poisonous weeds.
After dinner, Chang Yue was walking in the yard to eat, when Sang Ye suddenly led the maid Yin Lu from the eldest lady's house through the door.
"Why are sister Yinlu here?" Changyue asked in surprise.
"Good morning, Miss Seventh." Yinlu knelt down and saluted Changyue with a very respectful attitude, "Madam said that Miss Seventh had been wronged during the day, so she specially asked my slave to apologize to you."
As for who she was apologizing for, Yinlu didn't say. Everyone understood it, so there was no need to point it out. After all, the eldest lady also wanted to save face.
As he spoke, Yinlu handed a long wooden box in his arms to Sang Ye.
Changyue said with a smile: "How can I be wronged? Madam is serious, so there is no need to give this thing away, right?"
Yinlu said with a smile: "Young Miss Seventh, please accept it. Let's not talk about whether you are aggrieved or not. Madam is the mother of Miss Seventh, so why can't I give you something?"
Hearing this, Chang Yue had no choice but to say: "In that case, I will accept it. Sister Yinlu will thank Madam for me."
After Yinlu left, Granny Feng came out and said, "Madam is still a good person." For so many years, Granny Feng has never seen Madam make any mistakes.
Changyue nodded, opened the box sent by Yinlu, and found that inside was a land deed for a farm and a small stack of deeds of sale.
The deeds of sale belonged to the servants who worked on the farm.
Of course, the farm area is not large, not even a quarter of the area occupied by Li Mansion. Besides, the farm is still outside Mingyue City.
But as an apology, this is generous enough.
In fact, the reason why Luo Fengqiao gave Chang Yue a farm land deed was because she thought that Chang Yue would not be able to practice cultivation, and life would probably be difficult if she didn't have something close to her in the future.
The farm may be very precious to ordinary people, but to a big family like theirs, it is not worth mentioning at all.
The Li family has been entrenched in Mingyue City for hundreds of years, and has accumulated wealth that ordinary people can't even imagine. However, Chang Yue, who cannot cultivate, is not qualified to inherit this wealth.
After returning to the room, Changyue put together the land deed, the deed of sale given by the eldest lady, and the long dress given by the eldest lady.
After putting away her things, Changyue sat cross-legged on the bed, her consciousness gradually separated from her body. When she opened her eyes again, its consciousness had already landed on the Xuanyin Snake.
Just after she regained consciousness, Chang Yue flicked her tail subconsciously, but she didn't expect that she would use too much force and directly set off a huge wave on the cold pool.
Um?
It took Changyue a long time to realize that its power seemed to have increased a lot. It was just because it had not adapted to the new physical strength, so it caused an oolonger.
Changyue quickly shrank her body, swam to Xiaobai and asked, "Why is that medicine so powerful? I feel like I have been reborn."
Xiaobai was refining golden silk spider Gu, so he said without raising his head: "Why do you think I said the marrow of the earth is a treasure?"
Treasure? Changyue really didn't hear clearly how Xiaobai described the Marrow of the Earth at that time. It was probably because the scent of the Marrow of the Earth and the Essence Tree was so confusing to snakes at that time, Changyue was too dizzy to hear clearly.
At this time, Changyue also noticed the changes in Xiaobai. Its hair seemed to become whiter, even a little dazzling, and it stood up more like a person.
Dou Rabbit is an ancient beast that looks very similar to humans. They are completely upright, have slender and powerful thighs and arms, are covered in white fur, and have rabbit heads. They are very good at fighting, so they are called Dou Rabbit.
