Chapter 241 She is the Eleventh Sister! (Two chapters in one)
"Su Chuo..." The guard looked at Su Chuo with a deep expression on his face, but did not open the formation.
The woman in front of me is a master of the fifth level of perfection, but judging from her aura, she is clearly still a girl.
With such qualifications, he is definitely a genius.
As for himself, his qualifications are pretty good, but he is over fifty, and now he is only at the sixth level of perfection.
But he vaguely remembered that although Su Chuo was a talented woman who read a lot of books, she couldn't practice. Could it be that she had a big opportunity outside?
Su Chuo quickly reminded Lu Pianpian secretly: "This guard's name is Su Jing. In terms of blood relationship, he can be regarded as my uncle."
Lu Pianpian immediately said: "Uncle Jing, don't you remember me? I'm Chuo'er."
After saying that, he gently lifted his veil and said, "Although I have grown up, my dear uncle should still be able to recognize me."
With just such a startling glance, the veil was put down.
But Su Jing also saw it clearly.
It's Su Chuo!
Although he remembered that Su Chuo was a famous beauty when he was a child, Su Jing still could not imagine that Su Chuo would be so stunning when he grew up!
And he also became a fifth-grade master!
Several contemporary ladies of the Su family are all very beautiful. However, in terms of appearance and cultivation, they are all slightly inferior to Su Chuo.
"It's really cool." Su Jing couldn't help but say.
He was shocked by Su Chuo's appearance and cultivation, and immediately had no intention of stopping her from entering the house.
Not to mention anything else, just based on her appearance and cultivation, the family is likely to accept her and most likely restore her status as a legitimate daughter.
As for her father's collusion with the devil's sect back then, time has changed and that is no longer important.
The imperial court is currently in a state of confusion and will not pursue the events of the past.
"Uncle Jing." Lu Pianpian called in a very friendly and natural voice, "I'm home, please let me in quickly."
Su Jing felt more comfortable than eating ginseng fruit. He said with a smile:
"I haven't seen him in less than nine years, and Chuo'er is already so outstanding. If the head of the family sees him, he will definitely be happy."
Raising his hand to open the formation, "Come in."
Since he guessed that the head of the family would probably allow Su Chuo to restore his clan identity, he would certainly not be embarrassed and might as well sell it in advance.
As soon as Lu Pianpian floated, she entered Su's house with a smile, took out a pot of spiritual wine, poured it into Su Jing's hand, and said with a crisp smile:
"Uncle Jing, thank you for your hard work. This is the finest Tibetan barley spirit wine. I hope you can try it."
"This..." Su Jing suddenly smiled and looked very happy, "Chuo'er has seen something strange."
While taking the spirit wine, he secretly said:
"Chuo'er has been out and about for nine years, and his temperament seems to have changed a lot. He used to be elegant and quiet, but now he is quite dashing and sharp."
Lu Pianpian communicated with Su Chuo secretly and said carelessly:
"Uncle Jing, the head of the family must be very busy. I want to see the fourth uncle first. Is he in the house?"
Su Jing didn't want to embarrass her and said directly: "Fourth brother is here, but he never likes to see people. He always lives in seclusion. You may not be able to see him."
He was a little confused. Su Yu was withdrawn and cold-tempered, and he always walked alone. Why did Su Chuo see him as soon as he came back?
So he reminded: "You might as well go directly to see the head of the house. The head of the house happens to be at home today."
Lu Pianpian nodded, "Thank you, Uncle Jing, I'm going."
Under Su Chuo's secret guidance, this girl navigated the twists and turns of the large and magnificent Su Mansion with ease, and she didn't feel unfamiliar at all.
Along the way, many slaves, retainers, soldiers, and tribesmen looked over, but they found that Lu Pianpian's blood aura was not that of an outsider, so they had no intention of interrogating him.
There are so many people in the Su family, who knows which family the girl is from? In short, she is definitely the Su family.
Most of the Su clan members I met along the way had elegant expressions, and a hint of bookishness in their dignified manner. Compared with the crowd outside, their temperament seemed elegant and refined.
There are many buildings in Su Mansion, and they are all ancient.
Gardens, painted bridges, pavilions, pavilions...even a stone tablet on the roadside and a blue brick on the ground all carry a long historical atmosphere.
There are many buildings that are more than 3,000 or 4,000 years old, and those of 5,000 or 6,000 years are not uncommon.
On the stone slabs under the eaves, rainwater dripped out holes several inches deep. The originally ferocious-looking stone beasts have become rounded and soft under the erosion of time.
Many of those lush and ancient trees are five or six thousand years old, and their ancient vicissitudes carry long-lasting vitality.
Just by looking at these, you can tell what the Su family's background is.
No wonder people say that the Su family is the real first family in Yizhou.
The Su family is not the most powerful and wealthy family in Yizhou, but it is definitely the most noble and oldest family in Yizhou.
Lu Pianpian also discovered that there were many phoenix patterns in the Su Mansion, and phoenix carvings could be seen in many places.
"Your family is really nice." Lu Pianpian said to Su Chuo, "Even in the whole of Daxia, the Su family should be one of the oldest."
"I heard that the Su family was not from Yizhou, but a royal family of the Chu Kingdom. After the death of Chu, the First Emperor moved them to Yizhou. Is this true?"
Su Chuo said: "It is true that he is a descendant of King Chu. However, he was first moved to Guanzhong and took the surname Chu. Later, he was moved to Yizhou by the Han Emperor and changed his surname to Su."
"So, many of the books in the Su Mansion are actually secret collections of the royal palace from the Chu Kingdom era. They are very ancient."
Lu Pianpian sighed: "No wonder the Su family has the best collection of books in the world. It turns out that the secret is the secret collection of the ancient Chu palace. I have heard a legend about the ancient Chu Kingdom."
"It is said that the ancestor of the Chu Kingdom was represented by a nine-headed phoenix, and he claimed to be from the Phoenix God Clan from heaven."
"So the state of Chu uses the phoenix as its totem, and the people of Chu are called the nine-headed bird. Is this legend true?"
She actually didn't believe it.
"There is indeed this legend, and it may be true." Su Chuo said, "To this day, some of the Su family's children still claim to be descendants of the God Clan, which is really ridiculous."
Su Chuo looked at these familiar scenes without any nostalgia in his heart.
Only by living in the Su Mansion can one truly understand the snobbishness, indifference, hypocrisy, and decadence that underlie this ancient and noble family.
Back then, I felt that being kicked out of the family was a great misfortune. But now, I feel that it is great luck.
After all, he can escape the prison of his family and be free.
When passing an ancient medicine garden, Su Chuo secretly said to Lu Pianpian:
"Going around this medicine garden is the Su family's largest library, the Phoenix Stone Pavilion. There are seven library pavilions in the Su family, and the Phoenix Stone Pavilion has the largest collection of books, with 500,000 volumes."
Even Lu Pianpian, who had seen a lot of people, secretly smacked his tongue when he heard this.
A library with half a million volumes!
Sure enough, when I turned around the medicine garden, I saw a majestic and huge palace.
This palace is extremely ancient and majestic, with four large characters inscribed on it: Phoenix Book Pavilion.
Lu Pianpian stopped and looked at the Wei Wei Stone Tower in Phoenix Book Pavilion, and couldn't help but marvel.
Su Chuo said: "Back then, my brother and I spent most of our time in Phoenix Book Pavilion. I read books there for five years. Even though I have a photographic memory and can read ten lines at a time, I only read one hundred thousand books."
"However, I only read ancient books and rare and isolated books, but I have finished most of these books."
Lu Pianpian sighed: "You are really good at reading, I am convinced. I guess there is no one in the world who is better at reading than you brothers and sisters."
"Where should we go now? Enter the Phoenix Book Pavilion?"
Su Chuo said: "Phoenix Book Pavilion is very large, and there are some academies in it specifically for direct disciples to study and live. Su Yu likes to study Feng Shui and Kanyu in one of the Feng Shui academies."
Lu Pianpian frowned, "This bookstore formation is so strict that you have to sneak through it one after another."
Su Chuo smiled and said, "No need. You are now the blood aura of the Su family. As long as you get close to the formation, the formation will automatically recognize it and let you pass unimpeded."
"What I'm worried about is meeting nosy people."
………
Sure enough, Lu Pianpian relied on Su Chuo's body to successfully enter the huge library with many formations.
There are many people in the Library Pavilion. In addition to the Su family members, there are also many distinguished guests who are allowed to come here to read books.
I'm afraid there are hundreds of people.
Many people can tell by looking at their expressions that their minds are not on the book.
Especially the young girls among them, some making secret glances at each other, some flirting with each other, some flirting, or pretending to be elegant. Really:
"The palace is full of well-dressed guests, but they look nothing like scholars."
However, the person who is even more unlike a scholar is Lu Pianpian herself.
She didn't even show off. She didn't look sideways and had no intention of stopping to turn over the book.
Lu Pianpian strolled through the huge library as if there was no one around, without any attitude of greeting anyone.
However, her outstanding figure still attracted some people's attention.
Especially Lu Pianpian is still wearing a veil, only revealing her picturesque eyebrows. The spring mountains are swaying and the autumn water is full, which is full of mysterious charm that makes people daydream.
In addition, she is still a fifth-grade master, so it is difficult not to attract attention.
Lu Pianpian also knew this, so she just wanted to walk over quickly to avoid being entangled.
However, the "good guy" inevitably appears in the end.
"My lady, please stay." A young man in Confucian robes with a fifth-grade cultivation clasped his fists and saluted, "I am going to Zhang Dan of Chang Bo Mansion. I am being too abrupt here."
He is only in his early twenties and is still very young, but he is already a fifth-grade Confucian cultivator with a high official position.
This is the privilege of Wenchangbo Mansion. Although the Zhang family of Wenchangbo Mansion is not as good as the Confucian family of Yanshenggong Mansion in Qufu, Yanzhou, it is still one of the Confucian sects in the world.
Confucianism and Taoism were in power in Daxia, so Wenchang Bo Mansion would naturally enjoy privileges.
Zhang Ruoming took the initiative to strike up a conversation with Su Chuo because he was Wen Changbo's legitimate son and a fifth-rank official.
It was this woman that really interested him.
He knew all the direct ladies of the Su family and was very familiar with them. But this girl from the Su family in front of him was his first time seeing them.
At such a young age, she is a perfect fifth-grade person, and her aptitude must be astonishing. If she gives birth to a child...
Lu Pianpian snorted secretly. Before she spoke, another young man in his thirties also said with a smile:
"We are in harmony with each other in the palace of the Prince of Xia Shu. This room is polite."
Ming Mu is the nephew of the King of Shu, and he carries the title of General Fengguo of the second rank. Because he enjoys the kingly aura, his cultivation level is also the fifth rank.
Therefore, Mingmu also had enough confidence to approach him and strike up a conversation.
"Mingmu Zhang Dan?" Lu Pianpian's tone was slightly teasing, "May I ask what's going on with these two fellow Taoists?"
Of course she couldn't ignore him. If she ignored him, the two of them would lose face in public and they would definitely get into trouble on the spot.
This time I was looking for Su Yu to do something, not to cause trouble.
Ming Mu, Zhang Dan... When everyone heard these four words, they couldn't help but feel funny.
Ming Mu and Zhang Dan seemed to be well-educated. They pretended not to hear Lu Pianpian's teasing and still smiled.
"Why does Madam Su still wear a veil in her own home?" Zhang Dan smiled, "I am also a frequent visitor to your house, but I have never seen your lady. I don't know how to call her?"
A cold gaze came over, but it was Su Wan, the direct daughter of the Su family.
She looked at the graceful Lu Pianpian and saw that both Zhang Dan and Ming Mu were interested in this female university, and her face darkened.
More than one clan member knew that she wanted to marry Zhang Dan.
After all, Zhang Dan is the legitimate son of Wen Changbo. He is an official of the fifth rank at a young age and will inherit Wen Changbo's title in the future.
Zhang Dan accosted the woman in public, which made her very unhappy.
"Who is she?" Su Wan frowned, "It is indeed the Su family, but why haven't I seen her before?"
A beautiful woman next to her, similar in age to her, but dressed like a young woman, quietly said to her:
"Young lady, don't worry, Zhang Dan is not really interested in her, she must be a distant relative."
Su Wan sneered and said: "Seventh Madam, you are just Zhang Dan's aunt, and you still lack understanding of him. What he cares more about is qualifications, not the distinction between legitimate concubine and concubine."
The woman next to her turned out to be Wen Changbo's seventh concubine, Cai Quan'er!
This time, she came to Su's house with the Zhang family. It was called reading, but it was actually for the purpose of getting married.
Several young ladies and gentlemen came to the Zhang family, and Zhang Dan was just one of them. The reason why Cai Quan'er, the aunt, came with them was of course to facilitate the threading of the needle.
She is an aunt and a young person, so she is very suitable for this role.
Cai Quan'er has average qualifications, and relied on his elder brothers Cai Ji and Wen Changbo to become a ninth-grade monk.
However, because she looked a bit like Wen Changbo's late first wife, she was favored by Wen Changbo and became his seventh concubine. She was very favored.
His brother Cai Ji became prosperous because of this, and he was good at building momentum, which pleased the emperor and the chief minister. He was regarded as the choice of the prime minister, and he rose to great heights. Now he has gone to Chang'an to become a doctor in the examination department of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.
Cai Ji has a long career in officialdom. Although his sister Cai Quan'er is just an aunt, her status in Wenchang Bo's house is not low.
In the past two years, Cai Quan'er, as the seventh wife, relied on Cai Ji's official career and Wen Changbo's favor to make friends with many young men and ladies in Jinguan City. It can be said that her horizons have been broadened, and she has completely entered the circle of wealthy families.
Cai Quan'er felt ashamed when she thought of the past when she and her Luo brothers and sisters lived as a peasant girl in Fengye Village, Ba County.
Especially when she actually fell in love with Luo Ning and vowed not to marry him except him... Thinking of this, Cai Quan'er felt that she was really naive at that time.
Fortunately, I cut off the love thread with my wise sword, and this is how I became the Seventh Lady today.
Cai Quan'er was distracted when she saw Su Wan walking towards the veiled woman.
"This sister." Su Wan smiled slightly, "Which branch are you from? Why haven't I seen you? Why are you wearing a veil?"
Lu Pianpian said: "Sixth sister, I have flowers on my face, so I have to wear a veil to avoid scaring everyone."
"Uh, just read your book and don't worry about me."
After saying that, he walked away.
Su Wan wanted to stop him, but Lu Pianpian was a fifth-grade master and she was only a sixth-grade expert, so she didn't dare.
But, some people dare.
"Wait a minute." A young man with a perfect fifth grade said in a sweet voice, "This girl, I haven't seen you before. Since you are at home, why are you hiding your head and showing your tail?"
"Take off your veil, and get to know Brother Zhang and Brother Ming. To avoid misunderstanding."
Lu Pianpian looked back at the young man, "Fourth brother, it is inconvenient for me to take off my veil. I will explain to you later."
This young man is the third generation direct descendant of the Su family, Su Yin.
When Su Yin heard Lu Pianpian call her fourth brother and Su Wan sixth sister, she knew that they must be sisters from the same family.
But, why didn’t he know about his sisters who had such outstanding qualifications?
The more confused he became, the less he wanted to let Lu Pianpian leave.
"Sister," Su Yin said with a smile, "Everyone is very curious. If you listen to the fourth brother, you should take off your veil and meet everyone. After all, this is my family."
Everyone also looked at Lu Pianpian with twinkling eyes and curious expressions.
Lu Pianpian knew that if she didn't show her true colors today, it would be difficult for her to leave.
"Okay." Lu Pianpian shook his head, "Fourth brother, you are really going to cause me trouble. Wait, fourth brother is going to help me out."
Su Yin laughed and said, "You still want to save the siege? No matter, since you are my clan sister, of course I have to save the siege for you."
"Fourth brother, you must keep your word." Lu Pianpian said in a heavenly voice, and then took off her veil.
The moment she took off her veil, the entire library seemed to glow.
Everyone felt their eyes light up and couldn't help but be startled.
The stunning visual impact caught everyone by surprise.
They thought that this woman might be beautiful, but they didn't expect that her beauty was breathtaking, like a flawless fairy.
"Are you Su Chuo? Eleventh sister?" Su Yin blurted out immediately after being stunned for a short time.
He recognized it. Although he hadn't seen her for nine years, he could still vaguely recognize who it was by his facial features.
"Eleventh sister!"
"She is the eleventh sister!"
The children of the Su family around him also recognized him.
PS: Cai Quan'er finally appeared, what do you think? Good night, Crab!
