Yin Ning'er looked at the off-white round bead in Zhong Wen's hand that exuded a faint light and asked curiously.
"This is a treasure that has existed since the birth of heaven and earth." Zhong Wen approached Yin Ning'er's ear and softly explained the effect of "Tai Sui Pearl".
"Is this... is this true?" Yin Ning'er's usually cold face showed a rare look of surprise.
She now occasionally listens to Zhong Wen's "Journey to the West" with Little Loli and others. There are several powerful treasures in the book that were born when chaos opened up and the world was created.
I found out that the Tai Sui Bead had the miraculous effect of accelerating the growth of elixirs. My eyes lit up when I looked at this small round bead.
"It's valid for personal testing, and you'll pay ten if you fake it." Zhong Wen smiled and put the off-white bead with a faint light into Yin Ning'er's hand, "Ning'er, starting from today, this treasure of heaven and earth will be handed over to you.
Keep it."
"No, no, it's too expensive." Yin Ning'er was frightened and resisted again and again.
"Don't you really like that kind of thing that helps plants grow?" Zhong Wen's voice was full of temptation like the devil Satan, "As long as you have this bead, you can grow as fast as you want them to. This feeling,
Tsk tsk tsk..."
"But, but..." In front of a treasure like the Taisui Pearl, even a stoic girl will have a trace of greed, but after all, she is different from ordinary people, and she can hold it back, shaking her head and saying, "No, not only did you save
I have taught you so much knowledge about elixirs and alchemy, how can I take anything from you again?"
What a pure and kind girl!
"Ning'er, I want you to help cultivate some high-level elixirs, so I will temporarily store the Tai Sui Pearl with you." Zhong Wen admired in his heart and stopped teasing her. His face straightened and he said softly, "You are willing to help me.
What?"
"I, I do." The girl lowered her head, a blush appeared on her face, and her usually cold eyes rarely showed excitement.
Although he knew that she was probably excited by the power of the treasure, Zhong Wen still felt a chill in his heart when he heard a beautiful and beautiful girl standing in front of him and saying these three words in a soft tone.
"I need some Ten Thousand Years Shouwu, Ten Thousand Years Dragon Ginseng, Five Thousand Years Blood Essence Grass..." Patting the girl's shoulder gently, Zhong Wen asked with a smile, "Also, I want you to test this Tai Sui."
Find out the detailed effects of the beads and see how long they are soaked and how much effect they can produce.”
The elixirs he reported were all precious materials for refining the "Book of Changes Marrow Cleansing Pill".
"Okay." Yin Ning'er nodded slightly and agreed happily.
"I should have grown these elixirs myself. There are really too many things to do and I am a little overwhelmed." Zhong Wen apologized slightly. He felt guilty about using a beautiful girl as a slave, "I can only ask you to put more thought into it."
Already."
"Don't bother." Yin Ning'er shook her head and said softly, "I like growing elixirs very much."
In recent days, she has often discussed elixirs and alchemy with Zhong Wen, and Yin Ning'er's tone of voice when talking to him has unconsciously become a little different from others.
There is less indifference and more tenderness.
"Brother Zhong Wen, brother Zhong Wen!" The anxious voice of the little girl Siqi suddenly came from outside.
"What's wrong?" Zhong Wen asked as he opened the door.
"That man came to see Elder Shangguan again." Seeing Zhong Wen, Si Qi's eyes lit up, he ran over and pulled his sleeve and said hurriedly.
"Oh, he has indeed come to seek death again." Zhong Wen smiled, but his eyes turned cold, "Just let me deal with this scumbag."
After saying this, she realized that Nangong Ling was actually not far away in front of her. Thinking of insulting her relatives behind her back and being caught, her face turned red and she said with some embarrassment: "Sister Nangong, this..."
"Don't worry about me, this romantic second uncle, I have been unhappy with him for a long time." Unexpectedly, Nangong Ling had a smile in his eyes and did not feel dissatisfied at all.
She thought for a while and reminded again: "Don't cause any deaths."
"Okay!" Seeing that Nangong Ling didn't mind at all, but rather seemed to be adding to the flames, Zhong Wen breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly ran back to the room to change into the high-end clothes he bought in the morning, holding a standard folding fan for a noble prince.
She looked pretty in front of the mirror for a moment, then fanned herself with her right hand and walked briskly towards the entrance of the courtyard.
Shangguan Junyi has already arrived outside the door. Today she dressed up deliberately, wearing a long aqua dress, a white tulle on her upper body, and a golden belt around her waist, which highlighted her graceful figure.
, her long hair was tied up high, with a shiny colorful hairpin stuck on it, making her look noble, bright, and charming. Seeing that charming back from behind made Zhong Wen's heart beat slightly faster.
His eyes passed through Shangguan Junyi and fell on the handsome middle-aged man in front of her.
He is indeed an old handsome guy, just a little bit worse than me. No wonder Sister Shangguan was so obsessed with him back then.
Seeing Nangong Lin's handsome appearance and well-matched clothes, Zhong Wen secretly cursed and felt a hint of jealousy.
"Jun Yi, these are some fresh peaches I brought you." Nangong Lin's voice is very magnetic, and his face has a gentle look, which makes people feel close to him. "I remember that you liked to eat fresh peaches the most.
, I specially asked someone to bring some from Nantian City."
The peaches from Nantian City and the grapes from Beikun Mountain are both considered the best in the world and are very expensive.
Nangong Lin did not find anyone to carry them for him, but carried two baskets of peaches up the mountain himself, showing consideration for every detail.
He moved very gracefully and lifted up the blue cloth covering the basket, revealing the bright red peaches inside. As expected, each one was large, plump and very attractive.
Knowing that Shangguan Junyi's family was as wealthy as anyone in the country, Nangong Lin did not send any rare treasures. Instead, he did what she liked and prepared her favorite fruits, which was both unconventional and thoughtful.
For a woman who had been abandoned for many years, Nangong Lin was actually able to clearly remember her taste preferences.
It is indeed a master of flowers!
If I were a woman, I would probably fall in love with such a man.
Zhong Wen silently watched Nangong Lin's every move from behind, feeling a sense of frustration in his heart. He felt that against the other person's appearance and demeanor, he was just a rough and straight man.
"Have a try. These peaches are very sweet. They were washed in the mountain spring when I came up." Nangong Lin said, carefully picking out the best-looking one from the basket and handing it to Shangguan Junyi.
Even though he was very disdainful of Nangong Lin in his heart, Zhong Wen still had to admit that the atmosphere at the entrance of the courtyard was soft and the painting style was very beautiful.
"I can't accept it." Shangguan Junyi finally spoke, her voice melodious, soft and beautiful.
"Jun Yi, can't you forgive me?" Nangong Lin's face darkened, with a hint of crying in his voice, "I know that the Nangong family was sorry for you back then. Even if you hate me to death, you should..."
"Mr. Nangong, I don't hate you anymore." Shangguan Junyi interrupted Nangong Lin's self-pity and said calmly, "After all, there were some entanglements back then. When we first met yesterday, Junyi was agitated.
Please excuse me."
"Jun Yi, it makes me feel even worse when you do this." Nangong Lin said affectionately, "I know you are still complaining about me in your heart. Even if you hit me or scold me, it is better than keeping the pain in your heart."
"Mr. Nangong, now that Junyi is married, there is no need to mention what happened back then." Shangguan Junyi showed a complicated expression on his face, which seemed to be a little nostalgic, but also hinted at a hint of helplessness.
"What, you're married?" Nangong Lin's expression changed drastically, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and his voice trembled, "Jun Yi, you must be lying to me, right?"
"Mr. Nangong, please respect yourself." Shangguan Junyi said softly, "Let the past go by."
Nangong Linzheng was about to speak when he suddenly heard a man's voice coming from behind Shangguan Junyi: "Madam, I've been looking for you everywhere, but you're here to have fun!"
Then, a boy about sixteen or seventeen years old stepped out from the threshold of the courtyard in a swaggering manner.
The young man's face is pretty, but his demeanor is arrogant. The expensive silk coat does not match his body shape. It looks too wide and is very uncoordinated on his body. The young man's hat is worn crookedly on his ten fingers.
He was covered with rings and other decorative items, and his right hand was waving a jade fracture fan rapidly, as if he wanted to imitate the behavior of a handsome young man from a wealthy family, but instead he was painted a tiger-like dog, which looked very funny. When he walked, his left and right feet were splayed.
It's very open, full of the dandy atmosphere of a nouveau riche family.
"Ms. sir." Shangguan Junyi seemed a little frightened when she saw this dandy young man, and responded with a low eyebrow.
"Jun Yi, this, is this your husband?" Nangong Lin couldn't believe his ears when he heard the fairy-like Shangguan Junyi calling the temperamental young man in front of him his husband.
"Mr. Nangong, please allow me to introduce you." Shangguan Junyi came to the young man's side and gently took his arm, "This is my husband Zhong Wen."
"Madam, who is this old man?" The young man stared at Nangong Lin, looked up and down, and asked loudly with a frown.
Hearing the words "old man", Nangong Lin raised his eyebrows, and veins appeared faintly on his right hand.
"Ms. sir, this is Mr. Nangong Lin from the Nangong family." Shangguan Junyi softly introduced him beside the young man, "an old acquaintance of mine in the imperial capital."
"Oh? The young master from the imperial family is nothing more than that." Hearing this, the young man glanced at Nangong Lin again, then shook his head, with a hint of disdain in his eyes, "What does this old... Mr. Nangong have to do with coming to our house?"
"Jun Yi, you are acting, right? You deliberately brought him to make me angry, right?" Being despised by someone he looked down on, Nangong Lin couldn't bear it anymore, and his tone was not as soft as before, "You
How could you marry such an ignorant boy?"
"What are you talking about, you old man? Who is this ignorant boy?" The young man was furious when he heard this, and the hat that was already tilted on his head fell to the ground. "Be careful, I won't let you eat it and carry it around!"
Shangguan Junyi hurriedly picked up the hat and put it on the boy, patted his back and comforted him softly, finally calming down his anger. She turned to Nangong Lin and said: "Mr. Nangong, please don't insult my husband.
, Jun Yi’s illness was cured by my father-in-law, and my husband’s family is very kind to me.”
As he spoke, a hint of pain flashed through Shangguan Junyi's eyes.
Nangong Lin suddenly realized what he said, and in his mind he imagined a bloody plot in which the young man's father used medical treatment as a threat to force Shangguan Junyi to marry his playboy son.
"Let's go, madam, don't pay attention to him." A look of impatience appeared on the young man's face, and he held Shangguan Junyi in his arms with his right hand, "I feel that there is too much earwax, please take it out for me quickly."
