By Jia Xiuzhen

It's already winter, although it hasn't snowed yet, every morning when I wake up, there will be a group of rough envoys shoveling ice with shovels in the porch outside.The gutter under the road will freeze after a night, and it needs to be poured with hot water again. Otherwise, the master and girl in the house will pour out the washing water later, and it will overflow.Even with gloves on, the back and forth shocks when shoveling ice still made my hands hurt.

Li Wan came out from the Pearl Realm, and according to his habit, let out some consciousness to listen to the chatting of the women outside.It's cold and windy early in the morning, who likes to open their mouths?It is completely different from watching the stove and drinking on warm days and rainy nights.Then received the consciousness.Now that her spiritual consciousness is released, it can cover a huge area, but she dare not try it.

If this is the only way, the sound and image of this vast area will rush back into the brain in an instant, noisy and chaotic, making people feel sick.Fortunately, now I can close my spiritual consciousness by myself. If I can't control my spiritual consciousness after ordinary practice, then I really can't live in this prosperous place in the world for a long time-I can't stand the noise.I don't know if there is a reason why most gods come from deep mountains in legends since ancient times.

It is only said that sisters Li Wen and Li Qi got up, finished washing, and were talking with Aunt Li in the main room, when Biyue came to invite her.After arriving at the front yard of Daoxiang Village, Li Wan was instructing the maids to set up tables. When she saw them coming, she greeted them with a smile, "Come and have some soup and porridge first. It's getting colder these days, but are you still used to it?" .

Aunt Li sat down with a smile, and said: "I don't know what happened in the past few years. Even the south is too cold to stretch out in winter. I thought it might be colder than the north. Now that I have a look here, it is still cold. It's colder here. Speaking of which, we also lived in the capital for two years in the early years, and we don't remember being so cold, or was it because we were young and strong enough to resist the cold?"

Li Wan said with a smile: "That's not the case, it's really much colder, and now even the day of opening the river is more than a month later than before. There are more than five months of winter in a year."

While talking, everyone sat down, and Suyun and Biyue came up to serve.Suo noodles in mutton soup, duck blood powder, fish velvet porridge in ginger juice, Guiqi Baifeng soup, and some snacks such as steamed cakes, fried dumplings, and small steamed buns with sweet and salty fillings.Aunt Li sighed secretly.After eating for a while, I washed up again, and then I had tea and talked again.

Biyue came out with a bundle in her arms, and opened it in front of Aunt Li and Sister Li Wen, only to see several brilliantly colored and embroidered clothes inside.Li Wan said: "As I said just now, it's much colder here than in the south. I'm afraid the winter clothes I had prepared couldn't withstand the cold here. These clothes are all newly made according to your stature, and you can try them out. If it’s not right, let the girls change it.”

Although Aunt Li was worried that her daughter would be addicted to staying in this rich and noble place, and she would not be able to live in the future.The only thing is that Li Wan is a direct niece, and since several of them stayed in the mansion for a while, their daily wear also bears Li Wan's face.If it's too shabby, I'm afraid she won't look good, and it will be even more awkward to provoke the old ladies in the house to show something.Then he smiled and said, "Thank you sister."

Seeing what Aunt Li said, Li Wen and Li Qi thanked Li Wan for coming forward to look at the clothes.He took out two doraemon cloaks of lotus green and dove gray from the bottom, and said with a smile, "this should be for mother."

Aunt Li smiled and said, "That's true, why do you still have mine?"

Li Wan said with a smile: "I should love my sisters, why shouldn't I be filial to my aunt?"

Aunt Li also laughed and accepted it, but she made up her mind to send a letter to her natal brothers in a few days, but this place can't last long.

Sitting and talking and laughing for a while, Li Wan knew that Aunt Li was very strict, so she didn't dare to joke with the two sisters.After we went up to ask Mrs. Jia Muwang about her, Aunt Li took Li Wen and Li Qi sisters back to Daoxiang Village and did some sewing behind closed doors.

These precious jades are stretching their necks and waiting for Shi Xiangyun to come.It turned out that Shi Hou moved to a foreign post, and Jia Mu made the decision to stay in Xiangyun.This time, it's not a two or three day stay, so it will take three or four years for my grandpa to go, and there will be a lot of things to pack together.Mrs. Shi Hou even left enough staff to serve her, even though it brought inconvenience to Jia's house, she didn't want to lose her dignity.

She also said that Daiyu had seen relatives of her uncles, brothers and sisters coming and going in the past few days, but she was alone, and she missed her old father who was far away overseas more and more.The mood is a little unstable.Seeing her like this, Sister Xin and Mo Ge'er had to say a few words about the outside news.It's just that the master has made a decision, the day of goodbye can be expected, and the girl doesn't need to worry too much.

It's just that Guiliu's brain is used to be different from ordinary people, and even persuading people makes people sigh.She said: "Girl, I look at the nature of girls. They really like to be apart and not to get together. They like to be alone more than to make friends. Now, because of seeing the surroundings of others outside, I have a heart of envy. Let me tell you, it really is true." Give the girl two brothers like Uncle Xue, a few distant relatives who have never met twice before, and ask the girl to worry about how to entertain them every day, how not to be rude, how to make two friends... the girl is really happy?"

After hearing this, Daiyu had nothing to say.

Guiliu continued: "It's like the girl misses the master. Even if the master has never sailed far, he is still in Yangzhou. It is difficult for the girl to see her now. So, whether you are in Yangzhou or overseas, you can't always see him What's so sad about it? One more thing, the master has an official position on his body, even if the master becomes a Beijing official, looking at the second master in the original mansion, I don't see anyone who can stay at home for a few quarters of an hour all day, let alone our master? There is no worry about the distance, how much of it is self-sustaining? I hope the girl will carefully observe it."

Daiyu said: "According to you, this is all the same? How can this be the same! If my father is in Beijing now, even if he is busy with business and it is difficult to see him, he will see him at some point. Now, where can I find him?" Go?! Besides, the overseas is a place of complete ignorance, and my father is also old, and the sea journey is difficult and dangerous, so naturally there are more worries, how can it be compared when sitting at home?!"

Gui Liu sighed: "If you want to argue like this, it will be over. If you want to argue about things in the world, you have to be justified. However, since the girl has this worry, why don't you leave it to me. I will go to see the current situation of the master on behalf of the girl, and if possible, I will send a message that can be heard and read for the girl to relieve her worries."

Daiyu asked: "Didn't you say that Fanguo is so big that it's hard to find my father? This time it's possible again?"

Guiliu said: "If the master only fishes on some seaside island for the elderly, I will naturally find him difficult. Now that the master is so unwilling to be lonely and has tossed so many things, I'm afraid he can be regarded as a famous person in Fanguo, but ask more. A few times, it should be found."

When Daiyu heard her words, the words "unwilling to be lonely" really sounded unpleasant, but she couldn't care less for a while, so she just pulled her sleeve and asked, "Are you sure you can go?"

Daiyu is no longer the fairy in the forest who only knew poems, books, flowers and moons. She has been in charge of the housekeeper all these years, and she also knows something about the dangers of the world.Now the amount of rice in the south is actually brought in by her old father from overseas. There is no need to think too much about it, and she knows that it will definitely hinder people's way of making money.Although Lin Ruhai had the truth in his letter, he himself did not come with him, and rice grains were also used for business purposes when entering the country, so few people knew that this matter was related to him.Daiyu is still frightened every time she thinks about it—Xiao Huan Dan can't save the sword!

Now that she heard what Guiliu said, and she knew what Guiliu was capable of, she was filled with joy and only hoped that Guiliu would agree.

Gui Liu nodded, but said again: "It's not a place that you can't go to, I've been to it a few times before. But if I go here with the intention of finding the master, I'm afraid it will take a lot of time to delay. Some. I don’t feel at ease here again, girl.”

Daiyu said: "I am either in the garden here or in the garden at home all day long. What is there to worry about? It would be overkill to keep you by my side doing errands and odd jobs. Which of these things can't be done? The one I'm talking about in front of you is something you can't do. Sister Liu'er, you just have to help me, can you make it?"

Gui Liu thought for a while, then agreed, but said: "I still need to prepare some things."

When Daiyu heard that she agreed, she was so happy that there was nothing wrong with it, and when she heard that she was going to prepare something, she hurriedly said that if you need anything, just tell me, and she asked people to prepare it.It's just what Guiliu wants, so what else can she prepare here!

At night in Liancheng Academy, Jia Lan lives alone in a small room.Suddenly two little white shadows rushed to the roof, and landed in a blink of an eye, they all bowed their hands and saluted: "Senior Sister!"

Jia Lan was sitting upright reading a book, when the two boys rushed up, he had already swung his sleeves and squeezed the black blade in his hand, but seeing the situation changed suddenly, he put it away again.

Seeing the person coming, I couldn't help wondering: "Sister Guiliu, what are you doing here? But what is your master's order?"

It was Guiliu who came. She was entrusted by Daiyu to go overseas to find Lin Ruhai, and she was worried that Daiyu would not have anyone available around her.Among the mortal world, even ordinary high-school girls have no reason to bring two maids who know martial arts by their side, let alone those who know magic spells.

It's just that people's hearts are limited, and those who can make GUI Liu an enemy are naturally not those ordinary people.In the case of Sister Baoyufeng before, she was always worried that Daiyu would encounter such a person.Pian Daiyu is making rapid progress in practicing Qingming, but she can't learn the other spells no matter how she teaches them.In her view, there is no way to protect herself.

This time he was going on a long journey, so he wanted to find another protection for Daiyu.At first, she wanted to look for Li Wan, but she saw that Li Wan didn't have magic skills, but Jia Lan, seeing that she had achieved success in body training, might be more reliable.He also remembered that his master had given Jia Lan a whole set of servant boys before, and he thought that Jia Lan would not need all these, so he thought of borrowing one.

Jia Lan could not help but smile wryly when she heard the reason for her visit: "You girl! You have been with my aunt for a long time, don't you even know this truth? How can we allow a servant to come in in our garden? Let alone serve her personally. "

But GUI Liu said: "I have my own reason for this, I just ask my brother whether he agrees or not."

Jia Lan said in her heart, "If my mother knows that I sent a little demon to guard Aunt Lin, it's not sure how I will be punished." She refused to agree.Seeing that Guiliu was really worried, she came up with an idea: "Sister Guiliu, I have a few things here that I can use to protect myself. Take a look. If you need them, you can give them to Aunt Lin."

When Guiliu heard this, she first waved her hand and set a barrier to isolate her spiritual sense before asking Jia Lan to take it out for a closer look.

Jia Lan took out a few things from the Dragon Clothes Realm and showed them to Gui Liu.Gui Liu took a closer look, pointed to the pile of things and said, "These two are miscellaneous gold from stars and meteorites, which can be used for refining. This piece was made from some turtle board, or it can be used for divination. The other pieces are all It’s a weapon, but I don’t know its use. What you have here is not the same as what we have. There are always many specious things. I have been thinking about it for a long time. By the way, brother, where did you get these junk things?”

Jia Lan couldn't tell the truth, and he didn't want to lie, so he told Gui Liu about the place of Wulong Temple.According to the Nine Monsters of Mang Mountain, he probably also knew that the monastery was probably the original hiding place of this 'Oolong'.Now, it is not a lie to say so.Gui Liu nodded after listening and said, "Oh, I'll go hunting for treasures when I have time." She also regarded it as a training ground for the sect of cultivating the world.

When Jia Lan saw these things his mother didn't recognize, Guiliu could tell five or six points.Simply everything made her watch a lot.Seeing that Guiliu was getting impatient, he quickly took out an amulet his mother gave him, and said, "Do you think this can be used?"

Gui Liu took it in her hand, bared her teeth and said, "Brother can call people! Why don't you take it out sooner!"

Jia Lan said with a smile, "It's not easy to ask others about the pile of things I have here." He pointed to the two boys, "Even they don't know them very well. It's rare that you understand so well, so I have to ask you."

Gui Liu nodded and said: "They are only waiting in the Linfeng Pavilion, so naturally they don't need to know many things. I took this talisman away, for brother's sake, if you want to ask me in the future, just find me." .Or let one of them send me a letter, and I will come over. It’s just that I’m going to travel far away recently, and I’m afraid it will be hard to find me for a while.”

Jia Lan shook his head and said, "It's not something urgent. We can talk about it when you come back."

So farewell to the two.Gui Liu put the amulet in a very thin jade box overnight, took out a sky-colored thread from her purse, tied it, and hung it around Daiyu's neck.Thousands of exhortations and ten thousand exhortations.The next day Daiyu took her with her, and when she came back, she only said that she had left Guiliu at home.Only Yingchun and Xichun asked twice, and others were not very theoretical.Daiyu told Li Wan the whole story in private again.Li Wan sighed heartily: "'I always say that the married daughter throws water', 'I can't help my mother', and now even the puppets I let go can't be controlled by myself."

Daiyu, on the other hand, was afraid that GUI Liu would not go at first, but now that GUI Liu really obeyed her orders and left, after only two days, she began to miss her very much.But can't.I had no choice but to use Qingming to practice on my own. I didn't expect to be able to feel the same way as Gui Liuyao after borrowing this skill. It was a pleasant surprise.
