She is Jianxiu

Chapter 18 Chapter Seventeen
It was early winter, and it rained again last night, which made Xiao Shuang shiver under the quilt.

It's just that recently when the Hong family was coming to a distinguished guest, he didn't dare to delay important matters, so he gritted his teeth and got up from the bed, wrapped in two layers of cotton clothes, and felt better.

The rain outside the door had not stopped, and the scene of a hundred flowers contending in the Hong family's mansion also lost some of its color.Xiao Shuang rubbed her hands and ran to the inner room in the light rain.

"Has the room been packed?"

The people below answered "yes", Hong Qisheng's face looked better.The rain came at a bad time, and the flowers in the courtyard were knocked to the ground, adding to the image of depression.

When Xiao Shuang came in, Hong Qisheng had just finished explaining the matter of hosting a banquet. He was sitting with a white porcelain tea bowl, raised his eyelids to look at him, and said, "There are a lot of things these few days, so you should watch them carefully, so that you don't make any mistakes." .”

He paused, and then said: "Tell Qianqian to restrain herself, don't be rude in front of distinguished guests."

The closer the day of recruiting a husband approached, the more weird the daughter became.Hong Qisheng lost his temper after being tortured by her, he bought everything he wanted, and satisfied her with everything, the only thing is that the matter of recruiting a son-in-law must not be postponed.

Xiao Shuang nodded in agreement, stood beside him silently, reading the account book for Hong Qisheng.

"I don't want to force her, but how can anyone in the world have everything going well? I don't know how many people in this city are staring at me, so I have to choose a good one for her, so as not to be taken advantage of by villains.

"Say I don't love her, I'm just such a daughter, how can I not feel pain in my heart!"

Hong Qisheng babbled for a while, and Xiao Shuang followed suit.He was a slave bought by Hong Qisheng. He was only twelve or thirteen years old at the time. Later, he learned to read and count, and became a housekeeper. It has been more than ten years in a trance.

The phoenix trees outside the house were already covered with trees, and half of the rope on the swing for the young lady was broken. She became a bride to be married, and she was no longer a little girl dangling her feet on the swing.

"Sir! The guests have arrived!"

The two had their own concerns, and they didn't even know that someone had entered the house. They only came back to their senses when they heard the voice.Hong Qisheng bounced up and said anxiously: "Let's go! Follow me out to meet me!"

The rain came so suddenly that Zhao Chun and his team were unprepared, it was the waiter in the inn who brought the bamboo hat so that they wouldn't get wet all over.

Seeing Feng Sanchu handing over the tokens, the servants of the Hong family welcomed everyone in non-stop, served hot tea, and then sent someone to deliver the letter to Hong Qisheng.

He came too fast, after all, he was a bodyguard when he was young, Zhao Chun saw that he was powerful and powerful, he didn't look like someone who was over half a hundred years old.

"Lingzhen sent distinguished guests to the door, but Hong was disappointed to welcome them, and I hope the guests will not blame them!"

"Fellow Daoist Hong, I'm the one who bothered you!" People respect me a foot, and I respect others.Feng Sanchu saluted in return, and Zhao Chun and Liao's brothers and sisters also bowed their hands in gesture.

Meng Han sat on the chair with Da Ma Jin Dao, the tea bowl was like a toy in his hand, too small.

"Who is this?" Hong Qisheng is also a fine man, seeing that Meng Han has no scruples, he feels that his identity is not simple.

Feng Sanchu knew his senior brother's temper, he used to be a muddleheaded person, he was not afraid of heaven and earth, he said with a smile: "This is Meng Han, senior brother in the door, he was going to Huiming Villa to seek spiritual objects, he happened to be on the same road, so he came here together gone."

From Qi training to foundation building, monks need to refine the spiritual objects of heaven and earth as their own spiritual foundation.Huiming Mountain Villa, three hundred miles away from Jicheng, has a precious tree of earthy spiritual fruit, which is most suitable for earthy monks to build a foundation.Huiming Villa was not strong enough to preserve the treasure tree, so they used the spiritual fruit as a bargaining chip to invest in the three nearest sects, and agreed that the earth monks in these three sects could visit the village to receive a spiritual fruit when they reached the late stage of Qi training.It was exactly like this that Monhan came here together.

This matter is not a secret, and all casual cultivators know about it.Hong Qisheng still didn't understand, he hurriedly stepped forward to pay respects, and said respectfully: "It turned out that the seniors in the late stage of Qi training have arrived, and Hong has eyes that don't recognize Mount Tai, so he didn't see it! I will set up a set in the room later today. Thin banquet, welcome senior Meng and several fellow Taoists! I hope senior Meng will come in person, and Hong will definitely sweep the couch to welcome you!"

Menghan only waved his hand out perfunctorily, and continued to play with the teacup.Hong Qisheng understood that this was an agreement, so he didn't want to bother again, and turned to Feng Sanchu, "I don't know the names of fellow Taoists yet."

"These two are Liao Duanyi and Liao Xiaoyi, they are a pair of brothers and sisters, this one..." Feng Sanchu moved his hand down and put it on Zhao Chun's shoulder, and said: "Although Junior Sister Zhao Chun has not yet broken through the third level of Qi training , but she is extremely talented, and she has been promoted to the second floor in less than a year."

Hong Qisheng couldn't be dissatisfied, he praised the three of them all over, Zhao Chun had already been raised by the handymen in the Daylily Garden to have a thick skin, so he didn't make any movement, but Liao Xiaoyi was shy, she bowed her head in embarrassment.

After exchanging pleasantries, Hong Qisheng quickly shut up when he saw that Menghan's face became more and more impatient, and asked his servants to take them to the wing room to rest. The son-in-law was scheduled to be recruited in seven days. During this period, they can have a good time in Jicheng.

I don't know that there will be a monk in the late stage of Qi training. The banquet that Hong Qisheng prepared before is indeed a "thin banquet" now. He hurried back to the room and asked someone to prepare twice the original size, and opened the warehouse again. Prepare a generous gift, hoping to form a good relationship with Menghan.

How anxious Hong Qisheng was, Zhao Chun didn't know, what troubled her was that a girl failed to climb over the wall, and got stuck on an old tree with no leaves beside the wall.

Liao Xiaoyi had never encountered such a thing before, so she froze under the tree and looked at the girl.

"Can you call someone for me?" the girl asked while hugging the tree trunk.

Liao Xiaoyi let out an "ah" and didn't know how to help.Zhao Chun walked over, opened his hands towards the person, and said, "Jump down, I'll catch you."

"Little sister, how old are you? I'm afraid I'll hurt you!" The girl refused to move, persuading her, "Let's call someone over there in the main room. The tall, round-faced one is called Xiao Shuang!"

Zhao Chun looked at her and blinked: "Let go first!"

The girl didn't know why, so she put her hands in front of her and rode on a branch.But Zhao Chun took two steps back, turned around and kicked the tree trunk fiercely, the old tree shook violently, the girl screamed and fell from above, and was stopped half a foot from the ground by Zhao Chun's arm.

She was still in shock, turned over and sat on the ground, pulled Zhao Chun's arm again, confirmed that there was no injury, and then covered her heart and said: "It's too scary! It's too scary..."

"How did you do it? You are so young!" She asked in amazement, and then suddenly realized: "You are like my father, you are the guest he said to come!"

The girl hurriedly got up from the ground, supported her crooked hair, and said with a smile: "My name is Hong Qian, welcome to Jicheng!"

Zhao Chun pointed to himself: "Zhao Chun." He turned around again, "This is Senior Sister Liao Xiaoyi."

"Ah!" Hong Qian smiled brightly, "I didn't expect you to be so young! Unlike the immortals in the city, they are almost getting old."

Liao Xiaoyi is only fifteen or sixteen years old, she is petite and looks like a child.

Hong Qian was about to speak again, but her father who suddenly barged in pulled her over: "Look at you, what do you look like, hurry up and go back to the room to freshen up and get dressed, don't let the fairy see the joke!"

Hong Qisheng hurried over when he received the news, and saw his daughter, whose clothes were half covered with dirt, talking with two guests, he was so angry that he blew his beard and stared, and apologized to the two: "My little girl was reckless, and offended two fellow Taoists." , I'll take her out right away, so I won't disturb the two of you resting!"

Before the two of them could open their mouths, they took their daughter with them and blew out the door like the wind.

Zhao Chun's gaze followed and landed on the third person. The "tall, round-faced man named Xiaoshuang" that Hong Qian said followed far behind the father and daughter, hunched over, showing the utmost humility.
