Chapter 185 Look

Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan smiled at each other, and then told Xia Yu the reason why they did so.

Xia Yu laughed after hearing this: "Great! I will clean the yard, room, kitchen and yard in the same way tomorrow."

Shi Zelan smiled and said, "Xia Yu, it's my turn to clean the yard tomorrow, and you'll be the next in line the day after tomorrow."

"The day after tomorrow is fine. You and Xiaoliu should stop helping me with my work."

Shi Xiaoliu smiled and said, "We will leave the yard for you to clean."

When Qi Yuan Zhenren and Qi Cheng Zhenren saw Xia Yu washing clothes with her own hands, they were shocked: "Yu'er, you don't know how to use the washing technique?"

"Yes, I want to try the life of a mortal in the secular world and start with small things."

After Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan learned about Xia Yu's laundry, they both felt that Xia Yu was indeed a ruthless person who would do things perfectly.

Days passed one after another, and around the New Year, Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan followed their neighbors to the market to buy some vegetables and bring them home.

Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng watched the two children bring in piles of food and asked in a low voice, "Can you eat so many dishes?"

Shi Xiaoliu shook his head: "My aunts said that since there are so many people in our family, we need to stock up on so many dishes for the New Year."

Shi Zelan smiled and said, "Uncle Master, Master, you have a good relationship with the Taoist master, so these two baskets of vegetables can be sent to the Taoist temple."

"Okay, just leave one basket of vegetables, and the rest can be sent to the temple on the mountain."

When Qi Yuan Zhenren's brothers and Xia Yu came back from outside, they heard such good news.

Qi Yuan Zhenren said to Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan earnestly, "You two should also do what you can. It will be very conspicuous to bring so many things back at once."

Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan nodded obediently. Master Decheng said to Master Qiyuan, "There are so many of us living here, and there aren't many dishes."

“Neighbors are overzealous, and that’s not a good thing.”

Shanzheng Zhenren smiled and said, "That's good. Xiaoliu and Lan Jie'er are now acting more steadily."

"How can they not be steady? In the eyes of the neighbors, Xiaoliu is old enough to get married, and Lan Jie'er will also have to discuss marriage in two years."

"Alas, we can't stay here forever. We will have to leave the capital next year at the latest."

While the elders were talking, Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan went into the kitchen, where Xia Yu was already boiling water.

He discussed with Shi Xiaoliu: "Xiaoliu, I will accompany you to the Taoist temple in a few days, and you will accompany me to the temple on the mountain?"

"I'm not going to the Taoist temple. If you want to go to the temple, won't your father and uncle accompany you?"

"My father and uncle have been to the temple two or three times. I must go to the temple during the New Year."

Under the eaves of the front yard, Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng discussed going to the Taoist temple the next day.

Master Qiyuan said that they brothers also wanted to take Xia Yu to the temple.

The next day, when Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng went out, they saw that Master Qiyuan and his brothers had not made any movement.

Master Decheng asked curiously, "You guys aren't leaving the city today?"

Qi Yuan Zhenren frowned and said, "We have guests coming today, so we brothers will not leave the city."

After Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng looked at Master Qiyuan's expression, they walked out of the courtyard with peace of mind.

In the courtyard, Master Qicheng said to Master Qiyuan, "Brother, our clansmen?"

"A thousand years is not a long time for us.

For people in the mortal world, a thousand years is a very long time, and the records in the family tree have all become yellow. ”

"Brother, are these friends you met while traveling?"

Qi Yuan Zhenren shook his head: "No, if guests come, I'm afraid trouble will come with them."

In the backyard, Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan saw Xia Yu still setting up the formation and asked in surprise: "Xia Yu, you don't have to go to the temple?"

"My father and uncle changed their schedule today."

Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan nodded and began to practice sword fighting. However, out of consideration for the neighbors around them, they set up barriers to block the sound of sword strikes.

At noon, Xia Yu went to cook some clear soup. Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan naturally accompanied him in the kitchen. The three of them had lunch in the kitchen. When they were about to go to the backyard, they heard someone knocking on the door in the front yard.

Shi Xiaoliu went to open the courtyard door and saw three monks standing outside. He bowed and greeted them: "Hello, great monk."

"Excuse me, is Master Xia at home?"

Qi Yuan Zhenren had already walked over. When he saw the three monks at the door, he smiled and said, "When I woke up this morning and heard the sound of the magpie, I knew that a distinguished guest was coming."

Taoist Qi Yuan welcomed the three monks into the courtyard, and Taoist Qi Cheng walked up the steps to greet them.

Shi Xiaoliu went back to the kitchen to boil water and said to Xia Yu, "Is there anything taboo about a monk drinking tea?"

Xia Yu shook her head: "I don't know."

Shi Zelan thought for a moment and said, "We only have plain tea here. It will be ready soon. Xia Yu, take it out."

The tea was quickly brewed, and Xia Yu served it to the guests. Shi Xiaoliu said to Shi Zelan, "The monk among them is extraordinary. Sister Lan, do you want to find a chance to meet him?"

Shi Zelan shook her head: "It's warm in the kitchen, I don't want to leave the kitchen."

After Xia Yu left, he would not come back for a while, so Shi Zelan signaled Shi Xiaoliu to send out a pot of hot water.

After Shi Xiaoliu went out, Shi Zelan sat by the stove with peace of mind, thinking that on days like this, the things baked in the stove must be especially delicious.

She turned out the eggs, coated them with stove ash, wrapped them up, and put them directly next to the stove to roast.

Shi Xiaoliu brought the hot water to the eaves and originally wanted to turn around and go back to the kitchen, but was pulled by Xia Yu and stood behind Master Qicheng.

The great monk looked up at Shi Xiaoliu and said to Qi Yuan Zhenren and his brothers, "This young man has a connection with our Buddhist sect."

Qi Yuan Zhenren smiled and said, "He has always been kind to people, so naturally he has some merits."

Shi Xiaoliu's expression remained unchanged. He had promised his family that he would definitely carry on the Shi family's bloodline.

The great monk lamented, "What a pity! He is too deeply bound to the mundane world."

Shi Xiaoliu found an opportunity to bow and quickly went into the kitchen.

Shi Zelan naturally heard the voices outside, and when she saw him, she covered her mouth and laughed.

"Sister Lan, I will definitely get married and have children in the future."

Shi Zelan nodded: "I support you."

Shi Xiaoliu felt much more relieved and said to Shi Zelan: "If you want to get married in the future, you must tell me. We need to carefully check the man's character."

“Xiao Liu, I won’t get married.

I have practiced hard for many years, and I don't want to get married, but my cultivation level will drop by several levels because of childbirth.

You see, the people in the sect always have a look of regret when they mention my father and mother, as if my mother had to cling to my father to achieve a happy marriage.

If my father had no feelings for my mother at all, I don't think my mother would have given birth to me for my father. ”
