Long Junhai walked over at this time, and the voices of the women became slightly quieter.
"Hush! Keep your voice down! Too many people and too many mouths! It will be troublesome if the news gets to where it shouldn't be! Well, these military and national affairs are not something we girls should get involved in. Let's talk about something else."
"What do you want to talk about? Which young master has taken a fancy to my sister?"
"Go away! If you keep talking nonsense like this, I'll ignore you!"
"Oh my! You're blushing! I heard that my sister has her eyes on Mr. Wang from the next street. He's a handsome man, proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. But he's a little poor, and my uncle is a little unhappy about it! I don't know if this will work out!"
"If you keep talking nonsense, I'll tear your mouth apart! Don't you have someone you like too?"
"Hehe, there are so many people I like, but who would be interested in a crazy girl like me? I am like a flower that has feelings for you, but you are so ruthless. A little girl like me can never marry into a wealthy family. I don't know when my Mr. Li will marry me!"
"Isn't that shameful? You're still a grown woman!"
"Hehe, what's wrong with you, young lady? Young ladies also have their moments of love! I don't expect to break through the mortal immortal realm in this life. I just want to find a good man to marry. Li Lang is from an official family, and I'm just a girl from a merchant family. We are not a good match, and there is no fate for us in this life."
Among the group of women in the back garden, only Miss Shen and Miss Fang were chatting the most animatedly. Originally, they were both ladies, and the ones next to them were maids, so they could only serve as a foil.
"Hey, Sister Chen, this servant in your family is quite handsome. Why don't you give him to me? He can even warm my bed at night!" Miss Fang has a hot-tempered personality. She dares to say anything and is not shy. She thinks that a woman should not live too aggrieved in her life. She has no chance of practicing anyway, so it is better for her to find someone to marry as soon as possible so that she doesn't have to practice hard all day long.
"Didn't you say that you liked Li Lang? Why did you suddenly fall for our servant?" Miss Shen asked curiously.
"Well, I am a very casual person. There is no question of like or dislike. As long as I like the person, it's fine. But this servant in your family is really special. I like him very much. Please give him to me!" Miss Fang said with a smile.
"Take it if you like, but if your father sees it, he will definitely break your legs!" Miss Shen reminded with a smile.
"Well, forget it. My father is too strict. Why does he force me to practice when I have no talent for cultivation? I just want to get married early and escape from this sea of suffering! Then the world will really be peaceful!" Miss Fang said with a bitter face.
"What nonsense! If everyone doesn't practice cultivation like you, then the entire Song Empire will be finished! Besides, don't you like to be young and beautiful? If you don't practice cultivation, you will become an old woman in a hundred years!" Miss Shen said with a smile.
"Hey, if I wasn't afraid of becoming old and ugly, I wouldn't practice cultivation even if I were beaten to death!" It's not that Miss Fang doesn't want to practice, it's just that she simply doesn't have the talent. After all, who doesn't want to live forever? Every woman cares about her appearance!
Long Junhai smiled and shook his head. The two women were really thinking too much. They were not even mortal immortals, but they were thinking about all kinds of things all day long. He was a master at the level of Saint Venerable Daoist Ancestor, but he was still practicing hard. It was a kind of irony to think about it. No wonder masters would go to the mortal world to refine their hearts every time they reached a higher level. Now it seems that this is still necessary, because this is something that must be experienced in the process of cultivation. Once you don't experience it, your state of mind will be incomplete, and your Dao heart will be unstable in the future.
"Hey, hey, hey! What are you laughing at, you servant? What qualifications do you have to make fun of me?" Miss Fang became even angrier when she saw Long Junhai laughing secretly.
"Haha, you really misunderstood me. I just remembered some funny things. It has nothing to do with you." Long Junhai said with a smile.
"Funny things? What's funny? Tell it to me and let me laugh too!" Miss Fang said with a stern face.
Long Junhai looked at the other person and said, "Once upon a time, there was a flood in the forest. A group of animals wanted to take a boat to the shore. They saw a boatman, so the boatman put all the animals on board. However, because there were too many animals on board, the boat was about to sink. In desperation, the boatman had to choose one animal to get off the boat, but no animal was willing to get off. So they thought of a good idea, which was to let each animal tell a joke. Whoever could make all the animals on the boat laugh could stay on the boat. Then a tiger couldn't wait to tell a joke. All the animals on the boat laughed, except for one pig. The tiger was so angry that he jumped into the river without saying a word. However, just as the tiger was drowning, the pig suddenly laughed and said, "The joke you just told was so funny! That's why I laughed just now."
Long Junhai finished telling the joke, but Miss Fang did not react at all, because she did not understand the story at all. However, Miss Shen on the side was laughing so hard that her body was shaking, which made her feel even more depressed.
"Sister Shen, is this joke really that funny?" Miss Fang asked.
Miss Shen smiled and nodded, then said, "If the pig had reacted faster, the tiger wouldn't have had to jump into the river."
"Hahaha! So that's how it is! Haha! I just understood! This joke is so funny!"
As soon as Miss Fang finished speaking, she suddenly froze again, and then angrily shouted at Long Junhai: "What do you mean! Are you calling me as stupid as a pig?"
"No, no! It's just a joke, nothing else meant!" Long Junhai quickly explained with a smile.
"No! Tell another joke! I don't believe my reaction is so slow!" Miss Fang said very seriously.
"You really don't have to take it so seriously. This is just a joke. Please forgive me." Long Junhai said with a smile.
"No! You have to tell another one!" Miss Fang said relentlessly.
"Okay, Tingting, don't make things difficult for him. He must have heard this joke from somewhere else, and it took him so long to remember to laugh, which means his reaction is even slower!" Miss Shen said with a smile.
"Haha! No wonder! My reaction was quick enough! This guy is the pig! Okay, then let him go!" Fang Ting was in a good mood now and no longer worried about this matter.
Long Junhai continued to trim the flowers and plants, humming a little tune as usual.
"Hmm? What song is this? It sounds really nice!" Fang Ting asked with a smile again.
