Become a winner in life after binding the childbearing system

Chapter 340 Passersby Work Hard to Live (8)

Although Shen Yao did not have a household registration or a travel permit, due to the presence of Liu Jingyan, entering the city was not difficult for her. It was just a matter of spending more money.

After safely passing the instruments outside Luojing City that were used to detect evil spirits, Shen Yao walked into the tall city gate in front of her.

“Luojing City is divided into four districts: east, west, north and south. Except for the east district, which has no market, the other three districts have markets.

Each district has 18 wards under its jurisdiction, and the one we are going to now is Xingde ward in the north of the city."

Liu Jingyan explained to Shen Yao in a low voice as they walked. They got on the carriage again and followed the long street in front of them into the northern area of ​​the city.

"Look here, inside is the visiting market, which is usually open during the day and closed at night. If you have nothing to do on weekdays, you can take your servants out for a walk."

Liu Jingyan had discussed with Shen Yao before that half of the servants who came back would be selected to stay, and then add the people who were already in the courtyard, there would be enough to take care of her.

Of course, if Shen Yao encounters any problems, she can send him a letter at any time. He will deal with the affairs of the mansion as soon as possible and bring Shen Yao into the Liu Mansion.

Xingdefang is located in the central area of ​​the north city, adjacent to Xingshengfang and Xingyefang.

Liu Jingyan once bought a small courtyard with two entrances here, which is now suitable for Shen Yao to live in.

The carriage stopped at the entrance of the alley, and Shen Yao slowly got out holding Liu Jingyan's hand.

"Most of the people who live here work in the Ghost Removal Department and the Demon Suppression Department."

What this means is that although the Extermination Department and the Suppression Department have to deal with evil spirits all day long, which is unlucky, it is nothing compared to safety.

If non-human creatures appear in Xingdefang, the surrounding neighbors can go directly to work, which greatly saves the time of reporting to the police and ensures the safety of ordinary people.

Not only here in Shen Yao's place, but also in the east of the city where the Liu family lives, the surrounding neighbors are also people from the Ghost Elimination Division and the Demon Suppression Division. It's just that the superiors of those people here, although both parties work in the same yamen, their own strength and ability are not at the same level.

Shen Yao:......

What could Shen Yao say but to sigh that the people here were really afraid of death. No matter where they lived, they would look for neighbors with strong fighting skills. They would feel at ease even if they didn't need to use their skills.

After entering the city, Liu Jingyan has to return to the Liu Mansion and cannot stay with Shen Yao for long.

Calling all the servants together, Liu Jingyan gave them a lecture in front of Shen Yao and stood guard for Shen Yao to prevent some people from pretending to obey.

The underworld of a big family has all kinds of things. Although Liu Jingyan is the eldest son of the family, he has a favored elder brother above him and a favored younger brother below him. It cannot be said that he has a bad life in the Liu family. He is just not as good as the best but better than the worst.

"Yaoyao, wait for me to come back."

Liu Jingyan held Shen Yao's hand and talked about their love for a while, and finally left on time.

As soon as this person left, Shen Yao stopped holding on and went into the room to rest.

Fortunately, the courtyard is cleaned and maintained on a daily basis even when no one lives there.

"Miss Shen"

"Come in"

Shen Yao was lying on the couch, she saw the tightly closed door open and close, and a maid in uniform came up to her.

"Miss Shen, my name is Qingshui. I am responsible for the daily furnishings and storage of items in the room," Qingshui bent her body. Although she was not outstanding in appearance, she had a calm temperament and seemed reliable.

"Well, continue to be responsible. I don't have any requirements. Just don't bother me."

Shen Yao's place of stay is temporary. She will move into Liu Mansion in less than two months. After all, she cannot hide her belly as she is pregnant with twins.

The people in this courtyard have no conflict of interest with her. As long as they don't deliberately cause trouble for her, Shen Yao is determined to turn a blind eye.

Qingshui didn't expect that the new master was so easy to talk to. Although he looked gentle and weak, he had a strong aura.

Burying his head, Qingshui continued to talk about the neighbors around him.

It was similar to what Liu Jingyan had introduced. The family living on the left was named Zhang, a third-rank warrior, and a captain in the Demon Suppression Division; the family living on the right was named Li, a third-rank cultivator, and the head jailer in the Ghost Extermination Division.

The two families are considered the bosses in Xingdefang, and people always visit them every day.

There was no master in the courtyard before, so Qingshui and other servants didn't have to worry about these trivial matters. Now that Shen Yao has moved in, should the matter of gift-giving be put on the agenda?

Shen Yao touched his chin when he heard this and said, "Tell the steward later and send a gift that suits your status.

If they ask about my identity, I will just tell them to go to the east of the city."

Shen Yao did not sell the Liu family directly because there was no need. It seemed that the people living here should have known in advance who their neighbors were.

Although it feels fun to make a mindless provocation and then get slapped in the face, this is reality.

Luojing, under the feet of the emperor, who would be so foolish as to offend others? A random brick could hit several dignitaries, so of course we should be friendly and make money.

As soon as Shen Yao finished her words, she asked Qingshui to serve her for a while.

“I don’t like going out much on weekdays, but I love to hear interesting things happening outside.

Ask someone to help me find out some information, and also tell me about the situation in Luojing.

If you do well during this period, I will take you with me when I leave."

Although Shen Yao currently has no name or status, the person who brought her here is indeed a direct descendant of the Liu family.

Qingshui has stayed in the courtyard for several years and felt very tortured at one point, but now hope is right in front of her, and she says she will seize the opportunity no matter what.

Nodding in agreement to Shen Yao's request, Qingshui obediently brought a thin blanket for warmth.

"Miss Shen, the Flower Goddess Festival will be held in a few days. On that day, the city will sell flower-related items. I wonder if you are interested in going to take a look?"

Shen Yao was slightly stunned, "Flower Goddess Festival?"

Qingshui nodded, "It is a festival when the goddess of flowers bestowed blessings."

As he spoke, seeing that Shen Yao still had a confused look on her face, Qingshui simply explained the origin of the Flower Goddess Festival.

To put it simply, a long time ago, human beings were engaged in endless wars, and the people were displaced and suffered heavy casualties.

One day, the tablet of the Goddess of Flowers worshipped by the people showed divine light, which made many suffering people healthy again. She even gave them methods of cultivation, so that the unarmed people could protect themselves.

Because the Goddess of Flowers does great things, she is very popular among the people.

After the establishment of the Wei State, the emperor designated the day when the Goddess of Flowers appeared as the Flower Goddess Festival. Not only would ordinary people worship and celebrate, but royal family members would also participate.

"Miss Shen, I have heard rumors that the Goddess of Flowers is the mother of the founding emperor, and that the founding of the Wei State was entirely due to the power of the Goddess of Flowers..." Qingshui became more and more excited as he spoke, and the expression on his face became strangely fanatical.

Shen Yao interrupted Qingshui at the right time and changed the subject to avoid saying too much and causing unnecessary trouble.

Tut tut

It is indeed troublesome. Why does it feel like it is better to stay outside the city than to enter it? These legends do not sound very serious. It is possible that they are selling dog meat under the guise of mutton, and there are some unknown secrets hidden behind the Flower Goddess Festival.

Shen Yao secretly guessed various possibilities in her mind, but her face still looked weak.

Shen Yao smiled and promised Qingshui that she would go out during the Flower Goddess Festival, then stretched out her hand to send Qingshui out.

I looked out the window thoughtfully. The weather was pretty good and the small garden was lush and full of vitality.

He lay sideways with his eyes closed to rest, but in fact he was looking through the pile of treasures in the space.

Hard work pays off, Shen Yao finally found some good martial arts secrets.

It is impossible to practice the proper method because the system is not integrated, but you can still try to observe the qi and pulse.

Especially Shen Yao's body is very special. She can feel a strange aura, which makes her suitable for learning this mysterious technique of observing qi and pulse.

Apart from anything else, when you run into trouble, instead of going around people with great luck, just stay away from those with extremely bad luck, and you will have the best chance of saving your life.

Shen Yao didn't plan to go out and tell fortunes with a flag. She just wanted to find something to do to kill time and increase her chances of survival.

…………

"Madam, the family next door has sent a gift," the butler carried a wooden box into the backyard and handed the gift to the maid beside the madam.

"Is there someone living next door?" That was the Liu family's house. The Liu family lived in Changlefang in the east of the city, which was much higher than Xingdefang.

"Madam, it's a young woman. It is said that Master Liu Wu personally brought her here that day," the butler lowered his head and told the news he knew.

"Well, give another generous gift in return. As the saying goes, the more gifts you give, the less blame you will get." The Zhang family doesn't lack this, so there is no need to make enemies.

The butler agreed upon hearing this, turned around and returned the gift with thirty percent more.

In contrast, the Li family favored their concubine and not only did they not return the gift, they also felt that Shen Yao was just being perfunctory in sending gifts and did not even visit them in person.

Before Shen Yao could say anything, the servants who were serving her couldn't help but burst out in laughter.

As a result, the two families had a feud. After resting for a few days, Shen Yao went out to the bustling Taipei City for the Flower Goddess Festival, and the two sides ran into each other.

Feeling the other party's cold snort and contempt, Shen Yao smiled playfully. She decided to take back her previous words. Brainless people exist everywhere, and this is not an exception just because this is Luojing.

"Miss Shen"

Qingshui held Shen Yao's arm and looked at the Li family members who were walking away with unfriendly eyes.

I didn't feel that the Li family was so annoying before. They just have a third-rank cultivator. Humph! What are you pretending for! The Liu family also has a seventh-rank cultivator.

Qingshui was indignant. They had been getting along very well these days. Shen Yao was not the kind of harsh master, so Qingshui naturally put herself in her camp.

"I'm fine. It's not like the Flower Goddess Festival is very lively. Let's go."

Shen Yao got on the carriage and let the servant drive, wondering what Liu Jingyan was doing at the moment.

Chengdong Liufu

Liu Jingyan is trying to get his family elders to agree to his marriage.

After going out for a while, he wants to get married when he comes back, and the person he chooses is not the one they have chosen. It would be a miracle if the elders of the Liu family agree to it.

Liu Jingyan's progress was not smooth, and he had to deal with the targeting of his half brothers at home, which made him exhausted both mentally and physically.

"Okay, Jing Yan, you don't have to beg me, this matter ultimately requires the approval of your father and grandfather.

Your father has not returned from working for the emperor, and your grandfather is in seclusion practicing," Liu's mother looked helpless, and told him to think more and not to act on impulse. Although he was the legitimate son, the Liu family's resources were not much inclined towards him.

Liu Jingyan looked determined, "Mother, there's no need to persuade me anymore. I've made up my mind," and he would not change his mind about marrying Shen Yao, even if he had to pay a lot for it.

Mother Liu:......

Liu's mother couldn't understand why her youngest son was so special. She was not a person who took love matters seriously, and her eldest son didn't have any inclination in that regard either.

Could it be that things will turn into the opposite when they reach their extremes? Thinking of Father Liu who valued his concubine's son, a sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Seeing this, Liu Jingyan quickly grabbed his mother's wrist and explained that he was not like his father, he was not so sentimental, "She is the only one in my life."

"How can you guarantee that? Life is long," Liu's father said the same thing back then. But three years later, the new bride entered the house and the couple became strangers.

Liu's mother didn't mind Liu Jingyan getting married, she was just worried that he would be cheated.

Having suffered in the past, Liu's mother didn't want her two children to repeat the same mistakes, but the word "love" was too torturous, so she decided to let it go.

"Mom, I will prove it to you," he also wanted to prove it to Yaoyao.

Liu Jingyan said no more, but stood up, left the main courtyard and returned to his residence.

As expected, I met a few annoying half-brothers on the way.

She has no other skills, but she is extremely good at vying for favor and gossiping. Anyone who hears her would say that she learned this from her family, and that she must have learned it from those concubines.

Liu Jingyan walked around them indifferently and left, not forgetting to teach them a lesson.

Anyway, the relationship between the brothers is not good. Except for their naive father who always likes to dream and is blind, everyone else can see it clearly.

Shen Yao had no idea what had happened in the Liu Mansion. She came to the North City in a carriage and was stunned by the hustle and bustle there.

Wow

Didn't expect it to be like this.

Compared with the low buildings in Songyang City, the buildings in Luojing are taller and more exquisite.

There are various vendors shouting and hawking their wares around, and the entire street is filled with people coming and going.

Qingshui held Shen Yao steadily, with servants around him to clear the way.

As the group walked forward, Shen Yao was asked by the vendor if she wanted to buy flowers.

flower?

It is a beautiful wreath with beautiful lifelike artificial flowers.

Shen Yao touched the material, motioned Qingshui to pay, and put the wreath on her head.

Of course there are food for sale here, but most of them are related to flowers.

Shen Yao didn't like sweets, so she bought a few to try and gave the rest to Qingshui and other servants to share.

Seeing the sun slowly rising above her head, Shen Yao chose a shop with few people to rest in.

Unexpectedly, he met his enemy again and ran into Li's favorite concubine.

Shen Yao didn't want to pay any attention to the other party, but the other party kept provoking her again and again.

Shen Yao:......

Shen Yao looked at the wreath on the other person's head and smiled slightly with an ambiguous meaning.

"Hmph! She's nothing but a plaything," the favorite concubine of the Li family dared to say anything, and even her silk and satin clothes could not hide her vulgarity.

Shen Yao was not angry. If she got angry at a dead man, wouldn't it make her look narrow-minded?

Qingshui didn't understand why his master was so calm, as if he didn't care about any provocation.

Until the favorite concubine of the Li family left arrogantly, Shen Yao stretched out her hand behind her back and flicked her fingers. A flash of fluorescent light entered the other person's body and disappeared.

"Let the shopkeeper serve the food. We are going out today, so we should be happy."

Don't hold your temper over something that is not worth living; it is not good for your health.

Shen Yao drank a sip of scented tea with a calm expression and asked Qingshui to arrange the servants. She propped up her chin and looked at the crowd outside the window.

The streets in the distance are bustling but also filled with an eerie atmosphere, but the crowds of people sightseeing here seem unaware. I wonder how many more will be filled in this time.

Shen Yao, who had already lost faith in all the legends, shook his head. Life is not easy, so take care of yourself.
