Fairy, wait a minute

Chapter 3 Return to Ningdu

If Jiang Lian was the eldest daughter of his wife Hu, she would be famous all over the world, but the purpose of their coming early was to test the spiritual root of Jiang Lian for Hu.If there is no spiritual root or five spiritual roots, he will be taken back to the Jiang family in Ningdu. If not, then he and Hu Zhen will eliminate the roots.

Mrs. Hu would not allow anyone or any dangerous factor to affect her daughter's status.Besides, his parents, wife and children are still in the hands of the Hu family.
Hu Zhen also came to his senses. He came from the Hu family, and now he is the steward of the Jiang family. He still wants to be loyal to the Hu family. If the Hu family steps down, he will not end well.So what if Jiang Lian is the first single spiritual root in Ningguo? The phoenix bird that is not fully grown is pitifully weak and will break when it is broken.

Hu Zhen looked at the dumbfounded Du Yiyun and couldn't help but feel a little pity, which was ridiculous.Hu Zhen's eyes flashed with murderous intent again. If Jiang Lian really returned to Ningdu, the Jiang family from the world of immortality would definitely come to Ningguo to protect Jiang Lian's safety, and they would have no chance.

If the tiger is allowed to return to the mountain, the Jiang family will definitely have no status as the Hu family.And this beam of light has been seen by almost everyone in the village. It is really a bad idea to take action now. If the investigation will be exposed in the future, it is best to find a remote place on the road to find a dead body.

Having made up his mind, Hu Zhen looked at Jiang Lian with a hint of coldness in his eyes, "Congratulations to Miss Jiang Si, she has a single spiritual root with the attribute of ice. It is an excellent high-grade spiritual root."

Jiang Lian retracted her hand and curled her fingers. She had never thought that she would have a single spirit root. Now that the test results were right in front of her, it felt unreal.Jiang Lian pinched himself. It hurt. He was not dreaming.

Du Yiyun calmed down and hugged Lian'er excitedly, crying, "Lian'er, mother's Lian'er, do you know the status of Shan Linggen? There has never been a Shan Linggen in Ningguo!! Lian'er is the number one in Ningguo A single spiritual root!!”

Jiang Lian had read the history of Ning Guo, and of course knew that Ning Guo had never had a single spirit root. He hugged Du Yiyun and said gently, "Mom, you don't have to be afraid anymore, Lian Er will be there for everything."

Du Yiyun was sobbing even more when he heard this.

After the couple finished crying and their emotions stabilized, Hu Zhen said, "Third Yi Niang, Miss Jiang Si has packed her luggage and is going back to Ningdu."

Du Yiyun responded quickly and took Jiang Lian back to the house. Du Yiyun opened the wardrobe and found a cloth bag in a cloth shoe. There was a jade bracelet wrapped in the cloth bag. The color was clear and bright. Du Yiyun seemed a little embarrassed and said, " This is the token of love that your father gave me at that time. When I met him in Lizhou 11 years ago, I fell in love at first sight. If the monk hadn't predicted that, Lian'er would have been the apple of the Jiang family's eye!"

When Hu Zhen heard this from outside, he couldn't help but sneer again. If Du Yiyun wasn't so popular at that time and won the Hu family's glory, how could he have that monk and end up in the countryside?There would be no opportunity for them to take advantage of today. Thinking of this, it was really dangerous and dangerous, and the singer Du Shi almost stepped on her.

Jiang Lian was noncommittal. If her father cared about mother and daughter, why had there been no news for ten years?

Du Yiyun packed up some of the remaining items. In that robbery, almost all valuable items were taken away, leaving only a few worthless bits and pieces.

Jiang Lian looked at the hut and the backyard. The backyard was where she practiced swordplay early in the morning. No matter whether it was spring, summer, autumn or winter, it was always the same. She had survived so much hardship, and there should be a hint of sweetness next.
Du Yiyun and Jiang Lian got on the carriage. The interior of the carriage was very spacious. The soft couch was covered with blankets and brocade quilts. There was also a small table for dining and drinking tea in the middle. There were tea sets on top and tableware below.

Hu Zhen pulled up the curtain of the carriage and said, "If Third Yiniang and Miss Jiang Si are clean, please take care of their meal needs. They will also find an inn to stay on the way." Then he and the guards rode a horse and left Baode Village.

Du Yiyun opened the window curtains and looked at Baode Village getting further away. He couldn't help but think that she had lived here for ten years and Jiang Lian had also lived here for ten years.

The sickly weeping willows on the roadside are like old people in their twilight years, unable to exude any vitality. The sun is setting and their brilliance is gone.

Finally leaving this place, Du Yiyun thought to himself.After putting down the curtains, Du Yiyun picked up the tea set and scalded it with water. He smiled and said to Jiang Lian, "My mother learned how to order tea from a famous teacher in Lizhou. Lian'er, do you want to try it?"

Jiang Lian curled her lips and responded, "Okay!"

Due to the roughness of the countryside and rough work, Du Yiyun's fingers are no longer as finger-like as onions as they used to be, and are covered with a layer of small blemishes and sun spots.

Du Yiyun first broke off a piece of green tea cake, baked the tea cake carefully on the tea stove, and then ground it into powder with a jade mill.Pour hot water into the tea bowl, warm the bowl, and then pour it away.Pour a small amount of hot water along the wall of the cup, mix the tea powder into a paste, and then use a tea whisk to stir and hit the tea soup. Jiang Lian watched the emerald green tea soup bubble up and then turn from emerald green to milky green to milky white, like light clouds gradually forming. , dredging the mist and condensing snow.

In the next step, Du Yiyun moved even more smoothly, with fingers as nimble as butterflies, holding the pot to pour water for tea, pouring soup in one hand, flicking the spoon in the other hand, rotating the tea soup in the tea cup, pouring water seven times in batches, and then dividing the tea into small cups. Medium quality tea.

Jiang Lian took a sip and tasted it. The first thing that entered his mouth was the dense texture, then the slightly bitter and clear aroma of tea, and finally a little sweetness came out. It was mellow and full, and the whole carriage was filled with a faint aroma of tea.

"The tea you ordered is delicious. I have never drunk tea before. Can you make it for me every day from now on?" Jiang Lian slowly savored the aroma of tea in her mouth. In addition to drinking water, she usually went to the mountains to pick wild fruits and grind them. I brought out some sour juice. The wild fruit was sour and astringent. It scratched my throat a little bit when I swallowed it. Jiang Lian made it a few times and stopped picking it.

Du Yiyun pinched Jiang Lian's cheek lightly and said, "Lian'er wants to drink it. Mom can make it for you every day, but you are still young so you can't drink it every day."

Jiang Lian took another sip, looked at Du Yiyun with clear eyes, and responded obediently, "I know, mother."

At night, Hu Zhen found an inn. Jiang Lian and Du Yiyun lived in the same room, and Hu Zhen's guard lived next door.

Hu Zhen gave Du Yiyun a bag of money and went to a clothing store to buy clothes with the two of them.As soon as Du Yiyun and Jiang Lian entered the store, a young boy came over to accompany them to pick things, but he looked disdainful.This is the best clothing store in town. Looking at the rags the mother and daughter were wearing, they probably couldn't afford a brocade hairband here.

Du Yiyun was choosing from left to right, hesitating for a long time and couldn't decide what to pay attention to. Although she wanted to buy Jiang Lian beautiful clothes, she was really afraid of poverty these years.After thinking about it, Du Yiyun took the money bag and bought two sets of the cheapest cotton clothes for himself and Jiang Lian. He also picked a carved wooden hairpin for Jiang Lian to wear, "Lian'er, wear these first. When we get closer to Ningdu, mother will give them to you." Pick out some nice clothes to meet your dad."

The young boy showed disdain and thought to himself, she is really a girl who can only buy cotton-padded clothes, but she would rather be in the capital, I will listen to you.Then he reluctantly led Du Yiyun to the front desk to check out.

Back at the inn, Jiang Lian bought two small portions of peach blossom cakes and cheese dumplings on the roadside. These were items not available in the village. In the past, Jiang Lian only went to town to buy some necessities for study.

Jiang Lian returned to the inn and opened the paper bag, picked up a peach-shaped pink pastry, took a small sip to taste the hard-earned sweetness, and then ate several peach blossom pastries in a big mouth, almost choking on the pastry.The center of the peach blossom cake is extremely sweet, so sweet that it will make your teeth itch.Du Yiyun quickly passed a glass of warm water down Jiang Lian's back and said, "Lian'er, eat slowly. This peach blossom cake is to be eaten with tea. Drink some water quickly. Will it make your teeth sweet?"

Jiang Lian took two sips of water before swallowing it, and said aggrievedly, "Mom, this pastry is so greasy that my tooth hurts."

Du Yiyun filled up another glass of water in a funny way, and tapped the tip of Jiang Lian's nose, "Hey, Mom will make tea for you tomorrow, so you can just drink it and you won't get tired of it."
