The fairy is fierce

Chapter 22: New bride arrives

Fingers intertwined, we revisit our old place.

Zuo Lingquan took Jiang Yi to all the places he had visited before, purchasing new bellybands, rouge and gouache in Xianzhizhai, and even went to his third uncle's house.

The third uncle was a very popular minister and was busy with official duties at the end of the year, so it was difficult for him to get away. The third aunt received him at home, prepared a table of wine and food, and asked about Zuo Yunting's situation at the dinner table.

Zuo Lingquan really didn't know the whereabouts of the fifth brother, but following Lao Lu, he thought nothing would go wrong. He just told the third aunt not to worry; the third aunt was quite open-minded about this, well... Fools are blessed with fools.

After saying goodbye to his third aunt, Zuo Lingquan took Xie Qiutao to Qihuang Valley to visit the place where he first set foot on the spiritual path.

After the drastic transformation of the leader of the Jingtai airborne sect, Qihuang Valley has now been transformed. It now has the style of an authentic Immortal family. The sect is hidden in the valley, surrounded by a dazzling array of Xianjia markets. There is also a passage behind the sect, allowing Loose cultivators can enter the barren mountains from here to hunt for treasures. It can be regarded as a place for experience in the early stages of cultivation.

However, although the sect has a strong faction, it still cannot change the problem of the overall low level of Qihuang Valley disciples. The great uncle is only at the fourth level of Linggu now. The people who support the facade are the family of the sect leader who came over from Jingtai, and Liu Chunfeng and his wife who are serving as worshipers. et al.

Zuo Lingquan was not considered a disciple of Qihuang Valley and had only studied in the valley for a period of time. However, Qingwan actually took over as the direct successor of the sect leader and also held the position of elder of the alchemy room.

After returning to the sect, Qingwan went around to visit her fellow apprentices, and she also had to take the school entrance exams, such as Junior Sister Xiaohua and other apprentices. Her schedule was so full that she didn't even have time to go back to the cliff and have another affair with Zuo Lingquan.

Because Zuo Lingquan had 'deceived his master and destroyed his ancestors', Qingwan did not allow him to accompany him in front of his disciples, so he took a few girls to wander around the Qihuang Valley, telling the story of his past.

After a round of visits, it was already getting late. The few people did not stay overnight in Qihuang Valley and set off directly to return to their hometown.

The capital is more than a thousand miles away from Qinghe County. It seemed very far in the past, but now it didn't take much time to go back. It wasn't long before nightfall when we returned to Qinghe County.

The New Year is approaching, and the county town is very festive. Red lanterns are hung at the door of every house. Many children have already set off fireworks and firecrackers in the streets in advance. The sound of silk and bamboo can be heard in the restaurants along the street.

Zuo Lingquan didn't want to disturb his fellow villagers, so instead of flying into the city on the boat, he stopped at the Bailu River and walked home from the dock.

After arriving in this earthly county without any fairy spirit, the girls who walked together changed a lot.

Zuo Lingquan walked in front and led the way. Jiang Yi folded her hands on her waist, pretending to be a virtuous little daughter-in-law, walking half a step behind on the right side, keeping the distance not too far or too close, and even her smile was just right.

Lingye also restrained his aura of aloof queen, changed into a small pleated coat and skirt, and put a shawl on his shoulders. His temperament was soft and skillful, but he still had the demeanor of a housewife. He walked to the right of Zuo Lingquan, also only half a distance away. Such steps make it difficult to tell which of the two is the mistress of the house at a glance.

Ling Ye and Jiang Yi obviously had a competitive attitude, but when they arrived at the door, they couldn't show it. They just maintained their aura secretly and tried to suppress each other.

Although Qingwan and Jingxun didn't know that the two were competing, they had no intention of being second to others. They couldn't squeeze in front of Zuo Lingquan, so they made a show-off gesture and kept a long distance. Only Leng Lingquan Zhu followed obediently behind.

Xie Qiutao was Zuo Lingquan's Taoist friend, so naturally he didn't care about the issue of standing. He held the big dumpling in his arms and walked around the roadside to look at it, and said unexpectedly:

"Master Zuo, I didn't expect that you are still the son of a big landowner in the secular world. If you don't enjoy the glory and wealth, why are you here to practice Taoism? If it were me, I would just be the eldest lady in the family..."

Before Zuo Lingquan responded, Jiang Yi muttered:

"Let's look for Hu Meizi. In the secular world, as a consort, he is strictly controlled. He has no chance to find those hungry fairies."

Shangguan Lingye knew that the goblin was referring to her, but when he arrived at the door of his house, he couldn't argue with Jiang Yi, so he just pretended not to hear.

Zuo Lingquan was a celebrity in the county. He had been handsome and skilled in martial arts since he was a child. Almost everyone in the city didn't know him.

As he returned home in a low-key manner and did not want to stir up a crowd, Zuo Lingquan did not go through the crowded front door like last time. He came to the side door and knocked on the door.

dong dong

Soon, the maid in the house opened the door and saw Zuo Lingquan back. She was naturally happy and ran into the back house to inform the master and his wife. Within a moment, Zuo Lingquan heard hurried footsteps and conversations inside:

"Quan'er is back?"

"Well, I brought a lot of girls with me..."

"So many?! Is Lingye here too?"

"Miss Shangguan is here..."

When Zuo Lingquan heard his mother's surprised voice, his expression was a little awkward, and he tried his best to look calm and normal.

Lingye's expression did not change when he heard her name, but Jiang Yi could feel her small pride from the bottom of her heart, and she seemed to have grown a bit taller.

Next to her, Jiang Yi, as a serious daughter-in-law, was naturally a little aggrieved, but she couldn't show it, and she still maintained a virtuous and courteous smile.

Compared with the two of them, Jing Xun standing next to them was much more nervous and at a loss. In the end, he simply hid behind Qing Wan; Qing Wan also looked nervous.

squeak

Soon, the two side doors opened, and Mrs. Zuo walked out with her maid.

Mrs. Zuo opened the door and saw a group of girls with different looks, but equally beautiful and fairy-like. She was slightly stunned, but she was mentally prepared and did not show any surprise. After scanning her eyes, she focused directly on Jiang Yi. , bowing as a gift:

"Mother Zuo's wife..."

This move shocked everyone outside the door.

No matter how courageous Jiang Yi was, she did not dare to ask her mother-in-law to salute her. She quickly ran forward and supported Mrs. Zuo, speaking a little incoherently:

"Hey, Mrs. Zuo... No, mother, how can you salute me? If this gets out, I will have to be stabbed in the spine..."

Although Mrs. Zuo has never met Jiang Yi, as her daughter-in-law, she must have seen the portrait, and the salute was out of respect for the Great Dan royal family. As Jiang Yi supported her, Mrs. Zuo naturally stopped moving, turned to hold Jiang Yi's hand, and said with a smile:

"The princess is marrying into my Zuo family. As my mother-in-law, I didn't even go to the capital to pay a visit. I didn't expect that the princess came first and didn't come far to greet her. Princess, don't worry..."

Jiang Yi was so flattered that she felt a little grievance and anger on the way, but it disappeared under the courtesy of her mother-in-law. If the occasion had not been inappropriate, she would have hugged Mrs. Zuo's arm and said harshly to Lingye:

"Did you see who is the daughter-in-law of the Zuo family?"

Mrs. Zuo went out to pick up people, so naturally she would not neglect other girls who came to the door. After a few words of greeting, she looked at Ling Ye next to her:

"Miss Shangguan is here too. Since I left last time, I have been talking about it at home, and I was still thinking about whether you would come back for the New Year. I didn't expect that my real wish came true..."

Shangguan Lingye's manners were impeccable. He stepped forward, bowed, and said directly:

"Mom, just call me Lingye."

"Eh..."

As soon as these words came out, not only Mrs. Zuo, but also several other women were stunned for a moment. They didn't expect Lingye to change his words so quickly without changing his expression.

Mrs. Zuo had already fallen in love with Ling Ye. She laughed so hard that her eyes almost closed when she heard this. She pulled Ling Ye over and said with surprise and joy:

"This brat didn't even say hello to my mother in advance..."

Jiang Yi felt that Shangguan Lingye was so thick-skinned, but she didn't dare to say anything at this time. She just held on to Mrs. Zuo's arm to prevent Mrs. Zuo from being overjoyed and leaving her alone.

After Mrs. Zuo expressed concern for a few words, she turned her eyes to Qingwan and Jingxun who were standing together.

Qingwan and Jingxun are not as strong-willed as Lingye, and they will call each other wherever they dare.

Qingwan hesitated for a moment, then bowed and said softly:

"I... I am the princess's cousin. Aunt Zuo can just call me Qingwan. Well... the princess is timid, so she called me..."

He hesitated, not knowing how to explain his relationship with Zuo Lingquan.

Mrs. Zuo understood roughly when she saw this look. She greeted Jingxun with a smile and then looked at Jingxun.

Although Tang Jingxuan did not have any inconvenience due to her status, as a girl who had not left the court, it was always difficult for her to come to marry someone, so she lowered her head and glanced at Zuo Lingquan.

Zuo Lingquan smiled brightly and answered, "This is Jingxun. The girls I met in the capital all come back to visit my mother during the Chinese New Year."

Mrs. Zuo understood what was going on when she saw Zuo Lingquan's expression. She nodded slightly and looked at Xie Qiutao:

"This girl is also..."

Xie Qiutao did not dare to be misunderstood and said quickly:

"Hello Aunt Zuo, I'm just Mr. Zuo's friend in the world. I'm different from them. Don't get me wrong."

"Ha ha……"

The teasing tone caused a burst of laughter.

There were other families in the alley. Zuo Lingquan was afraid that tomorrow the whole city would know that the seventh young master of the Zuo family was a pervert, so he brought back a large group of girls and wanted his mother to go in and talk in detail.

But as soon as Zuo Lingquan stepped up the steps, Mrs. Zuo frowned and looked at the road outside the door:

"Those two girls came with you, right? Why didn't you ask them to come over?"

"Um?"

Zuo Lingquan and the girls were stunned for a moment. They looked around inexplicably and found that there were two more women on the side of the road not far from them.

Two women stand side by side. The woman on the left is extremely tall and wearing a warm yellow winter skirt.

The loose skirt can hardly hide the flawless figure of the woman. Her long hair is tied up with a simple hosta and tied up in a simple bun. She does not apply makeup on her face, but her appearance is enough to stun the world, and it does not require good looks. Accessories are used to set it off; after the sharp eyes that were originally scornful of all living beings are lost, only the mature and intellectual charm is left, which will be unforgettable for a lifetime.

As for the woman on the right, although her aura is slightly inferior, her appearance has not been suppressed into a green leaf.

It is still a dark green skirt, but the spring skirt has been changed to a winter skirt. There is a peach blossom hairpin in the bun, and the smile on the moist cheeks has a sense of intimacy. Although there is a difference in height from the woman next to him, But her gourd-like figure is still eye-catching, with round shoulders, narrow shoulders and round hips. To use a common saying, she means she is blessed and prosperous just by looking at her, and no one can dislike her.

The two women stood quietly, and then slowly walked over after Mrs. Zuo spoke.

Zuo Lingquan's eyes were full of surprise. He didn't expect that the ancestor would actually come over, and Lord Peach Blossom would also come to the door. For a moment, he didn't know how to greet him.

Jiang Yi and Shangguan Lingye, who were secretly competing just now, broke through in an instant. No matter how difficult it was to show the suppressive power of the heads of the family, they subconsciously behaved themselves.

Shangguan Lingye didn't expect his master to be there. He instinctively wanted to bend down and salute, but the Shangguan Patriarch who came over spoke first:

"Aunt Zuo, I am Lingye's sister, just call me Yutang."

elder sister?

Shangguan Lingye was confused for a while and didn't dare to agree.

Zuo Lingquan was a little caught off guard, but his reaction was quick. He couldn't say that this was Lingye's 3,000-year-old master. He followed the words:

"Oh, this is Lingye's sister. I was so excited to go home that I forgot to introduce her. This is..."

Lord Peach Blossom is much more easy-going than the ancestor in the secular world. He came to him with a smile and bowed:

"My name is Cui Yingying, and I am the eldest sister of Yutang. Didn't Lingye and Ling Quan have a romantic relationship? This time, we come together to pay our respects."

Madam Zuo looked at Patriarch Shangguan and Lord Peach Blossom, and was inevitably surprised in her heart.

After all, Patriarch Shangguan and Lord Peach Blossom look like they are in their twenties at most if they don't show off their appearance, but their temperaments are impeccable and perfect to a level that is difficult for ordinary people to understand.

If Lingye is an eldest lady who can tell at a glance that she was born into a wealthy family, then Shangguan Ancestor and Peach Blossom Lord give people the impression that wealthy families are controlled by them. This kind of temperament appears in girls in their twenties. .

There were enough surprises today, and Mrs. Zuo didn’t pay much attention to this point, and hurriedly waved:

"It turns out it's Lingye's sister, Yutang, Yingying, come in quickly, why are you standing so far away..."

"Aunt Zuo is so polite..."

At this time, Zuo Lingquan seemed unable to do anything except laugh. He waited for his mother and several girls to come in, and then took the poor little Lengzhu, who dared not call her mother, into the house together.

The Zuo family has a prosperous family. Counting other families, Zuo Lingquan has more than a dozen brothers, as well as many older sisters. The new year is approaching, and except for the third uncle who cannot come back, everyone else is at home.

Suddenly a large number of girls came to the house, and the Zuo family mansion was in a state of chaos. All seven aunts and eight aunts came to the house to join in the fun. Mrs. Zuo was afraid of scaring her daughter-in-law who had just arrived home, so she finally kicked them all away. Stop.

When the new daughter-in-law returns home, she must meet her parents-in-law.

Jiang Yi, Ling Ye, and Qing Wan had already got in the car, and after the reception banquet was over, they began to serve tea to their parents-in-law. Jiang Yi and Ling Ye were okay, they knew each other well, and were naturally generous, while Qing Wan was more embarrassed and followed behind. After tea, he hesitated for a long time before explaining why he married with his cousin.

Jingxun hadn't gotten in the car yet. From a relationship point of view, she was in the stage of a couple. Naturally, she felt embarrassed to join in the fun and call her parents. She went back to the guest room honestly and left the matter to Zuo Lingquan.

After Zuo Lingquan finished eating, he began to discuss the wedding with his father.

Mrs. Zuo accepted the tea served by her three daughters-in-law, and it goes without saying that she felt happy. After sending the three of them back to the rear house to stay, she did not forget to come to the living room to entertain the relatives and friends who came to visit.

The night was already dark, but the excitement in Zuofu was far from over.

Mrs. Zuo came to the living room with her maid. When she looked up, she saw two girls, Yutang and Yingying, sitting on both sides of the tea table, drinking tea and chatting casually. The little girl with a round face in a coat and skirt looked very well behaved. Ju was sitting opposite, holding a white-feathered chicken in his arms, not daring to move his eyes.

The aura of the two girls was so strong that Mrs. Zuo paused subconsciously when she took one look at them. It felt like she had walked in to meet her mother-in-law.

This strange feeling made Mrs. Zuo shake her head secretly. After suppressing her inexplicable nervousness, she walked into the living room and greeted:

"Yutang, Yingying, Qiu Tao, there are too many things going on at home, so I have left you out in the cold. I'm really ashamed."

In front of the two ancestors at the top of the mountain, Xie Qiutao didn't dare to dominate the scene. He kept a sweet smile and said nothing, while Tuanzi pretended to be a silly little hen.

Ancestor Shangguan put down his teacup, stood up and said, "Aunt Zuo, you're welcome. We just finished eating and are just resting here. There is no need to treat us like outsiders."

Lord Peach Blossom, due to his personality, was much more approachable than Shangguan Yutang. He walked up to him, supported Mrs. Zuo, and said with a smile:

"Yes. Aunt Zuo should go visit some of her daughters-in-law. We need your company there."

Mrs. Zuo's face was filled with a smile, and she paid attention to Lord Peach Blossom's plump figure without moving her expression.

Although they are very careful, this action cannot be concealed in the eyes of the two Lords. They can even understand the meaning of Mrs. Zuo's move. With this butt, giving birth to a baby will be smooth sailing; with these breasts, a baby will never be hungry...

Xie Qiutao's eyesight was not bad and he also noticed it. His expression was very strange. He lowered his head and kneaded the dumplings, pretending that he didn't know what to do.

Ancestor Shangguan naturally pretended not to see it, while Lord Peach Blossom didn't know what he was thinking, and his eyes looked slightly unnatural.

After Mrs. Zuo sat down at the main seat, she stopped looking at the figures of the three girls and began to talk about her daily routine:

"Ling Quan invited you here, and he didn't know the etiquette. He was really negligent. But it was not Ling Quan's intention. This kid has not cared about politeness and rules since he was a child. He is easy-going to everyone, even the maids in the house. , we all regard them as older sisters and we can play together..."

In front of her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Zuo always said, "If the baby is not good, the daughter-in-law should take more care of her." The purpose was to give her daughter-in-law face; in front of the girl who had not yet entered the house, she naturally had to think of ways to praise her.

At this time, Mrs. Zuo was communicating with the three girls. Just like she did with Lingye last time, she talked about Zuo Lingquan’s glorious resume as a child, such as:

"...Since he gave up burning sand, Ling Quan's whole person has changed. He is determined to improve his martial arts. You must not know how hard Ling Quan is. He practices three nines in the winter and three days in the summer. He is torturing himself whenever he is awake. My mother-in-law looked distressed, and asked him what he did to practice martial arts. What do you think he said? "

Xie Qiutao was so amused by Zuo Lingquan's making wine and burning sand that he wanted to laugh but didn't dare. He was holding back and felt very uncomfortable. At this time, he responded:

"To marry a fairy as a wife?"

"Eh~"

Mrs. Zuo waved her hand with a smile: "Ling Quan has not been fond of women since he was a child... Alas, it was true that men changed their lives when they were young... When I asked him why he practiced martial arts, he said, 'Let there be no immortals in this world. Otherwise, if there is one, he will be the only immortal, so that others will not be different from immortals...', he was only eight or nine years old at the time, and I don't know what his little head was thinking..."

Xie Qiutao blinked, a little confused.

The Shangguan Ancestor understood the meaning of these words. He just wanted equality for all living beings and did not want himself or even the people around him to become ants at the feet of the immortals. It was very similar to the path she took.

When Lord Peach Blossom heard this, he was a little surprised in his eyes, nodded and said:

"I had such great ambitions when I was eight or nine years old. No wonder I am so successful now."

"What a promising person, I, a mother-in-law, don't even know what he is doing outside."

Xie Qiutao joked smoothly:

"Bringing so many girls back today, what else can we do outside?"

"hehe……"

Mrs. Zuo actually thought so too, but as a mother, she could not say that her son was lustful, so she could only try her best to explain:

"Well, Ling Quan was really not a womanizer when he was a child. He must have been led astray by his unsatisfactory fifth brother. Ling Quan is good-looking and only fourteen or fifteen years old. The girls from the four southern counties fell in love with him when they saw him. They couldn't walk anymore, and they said they were so close that the matchmaker could cross the threshold. A few brave ones even came to live in Zuo's house and refused to leave. Ling Quan was not moved at all..."

The explanation was very serious, but the three girls here didn’t really believe it...——

other side.

After Zuo Lingquan discussed the wedding with his father, he went to visit a few uncles, and then returned to his east courtyard after finishing his work.

The east courtyard is the courtyard where the young master lives. It is small in size, with only three rooms on the left and right, plus the wing room where the maid lives.

Originally, she could have arranged to live in a spacious guest courtyard, but the new daughter-in-law returned home and it would definitely be disappointing to live in a guest room, so Mrs. Zuo still arranged for the three new daughters-in-law to squeeze in the east courtyard.

The lights were on in the yard. When Zuo Lingquan walked into it, he saw that the window of the main room was open. Jiang Yi and Qingwan came together and looked at the things in their hands, with a bit of pride in their eyebrows.

Lingye stayed alone in the west wing, with the door and windows closed, wondering what he was doing.

There is only one main house and two in the west and east wing. Different residences naturally represent different identities.

Although Ling Ye's relationship with Madam Zuo was already extremely close, no matter how much Madam Zuo liked Ling Ye, she couldn't let the newly arrived princess live in a side room, so she still made this arrangement.

Zuo Lingquan knew Lingye's ambition. He had eaten the killing stick as soon as he got home. He was probably very depressed, so he went outside the west wing first and opened the door.

squeak

The wing, which had been unoccupied before, was kept clean and incense was lit inside.

Lingye, who was originally dressed as a virtuous daughter-in-law, returned to his cool and luxurious attire. He bent down in front of the bed and looked at the dazzling array of jewelry on the bed.

Due to the angle of view, Zuo Lingquan saw a big round peach when he entered the door, facing him, with perfect lines, making it difficult to look away at the first sight.

Shangguan Lingye naturally noticed it and said calmly without looking back:

"What are you doing here? Aren't you going to accompany your little princess?"

Zuo Lingquan entered the room, closed the door, came to the bed, and looked at the neatly arranged jewelry on the bed:

"My Lady, what are you doing?"

Shangguan Lingye carefully selected his jewelry:

"Let's pick out gifts. Mom gave away several pieces of jewelry today. As a daughter-in-law, I have to show my appreciation."

Zuo Lingquan smiled and raised his hand to stroke the silky curves of the thin skirt:

"I'm interested..."

Shangguan Lingye twisted his waist slightly, avoided Zuo Lingquan's hand, and looked back at Zuo Lingquan:

"want to?"

"Um?"

Zuo Lingquan was stunned, sat down next to him, shook his head and said:

"You've already changed your name to mother. If you want to sleep with your husband, there won't be any conditions, right?"

Shangguan Lingye sat down against the head of the bed in an elegant manner, raised his slender legs and placed them on Zuo Lingquan's knees, revealing the translucent black ankles:

"We agreed during the bridal chamber that whoever has a higher moral conduct will listen to whoever has a higher moral conduct. My moral conduct is higher than yours, so if I give it to you, you can do whatever you want. If I don't give it to you, you can't do anything about it. If you want to practice, tell me one thing first. matter."

Zuo Lingquan naturally remembered what he said during the wedding. He squeezed his soft calf and asked:

"What is it? Is there something else you don't know about me?"

Shangguan Lingye raised his eyes and glanced outside to make sure Jiang Yi was not eavesdropping, then he came closer, pulled up his sleeves, exposed the jade bracelet on his wrist, and asked softly:

"How many family heirlooms does Mom have? Which one is the most important?"

Zuo Lingquan was a little funny, shook his head and said:

"It's just jewelry. I haven't paid attention to these since I was a child. I don't know how many pieces there are. If you want to know, just ask your mother."

Shangguan Lingye was not stupid. When she asked this question, Mrs. Zuo definitely said that the bracelet was the heaviest to make her happy. She hummed softly:

"Ask for me."

Zuo Lingquan blinked and did not refuse directly. Instead, he glanced at Lingye up and down:

"Well...it's not impossible, but if I ask, does Bao'er also have to agree to a condition?"

Shangguan Lingye'e frowned slightly and looked at Zuo Lingquan:

"What are the conditions? Let's talk about it first."

Zuo Lingquan coughed lightly and whispered softly to Lingye's earlobe:

"Yushu..."

As Shangguan Lingye listened, his face changed slightly and became a little red. He turned Zuo Lingquan's face away:

"You have a beautiful idea. Isn't it enough for you to have Qingwan? It's not enough to go to Jiang Yi. I won't do that kind of...that kind of unspeakable thing."

Zuo Lingquan sighed and spread his hands slightly:

"That's all. Regarding the jewelry, you have to ask your daughter's family. What should I say?"

"you……"

Shangguan Lingye's eyes were slightly annoyed as he glared at Zuo Lingquan, wanting to put pressure on him.

But Zuo Lingquan remained unmoved, as if he would not move unless he was given a taste of sweetness.

After the two faced off for a while, Shangguan Lingye was finally defeated by curiosity. He hesitated for a long time and said softly:

"At most...at most, you can use your tail to act like a vixen, once! Don't even think about the rest."

Zuo Lingquan naturally refused to agree, and wanted to take advantage of the victory to pursue the victory and make Lingye submit directly. Suddenly, a maid's cry sounded outside the courtyard:

"Seventh Young Master, Madam is looking for you."

When Lingye heard the sound, he quickly put his legs away and pushed Zuo Lingquan out:

"That's it, go and ask, otherwise you won't even have your tail to play with..."

The word ‘play’ is used quite delicately.

Zuo Lingquan was even amused. Time was running out, so he stopped arguing with Lingye, straightened his clothes, and left the room...

Hmm...it's written like a happy ending...
