Chapter 19 Two Mothers-in-law

Li Sanniang naturally wanted to go out at this time of year, so Li Zhengchun pleaded for her and asked the old lady to let her out and take her with her to worship Buddha.

Not only her, Xu Meiniang also wanted to come, but maybe because the other party's status was too high, she was afraid of being exposed, so she refused.

Except for Li Sanniang, Siniang from the first wife and Wuniang from the second wife...all the female relatives followed.

With so many people, plus people from the Xiao family, there will definitely be chaos.

Feng Ying was afraid that Li Sanniang would take the opportunity to harm A Jian, so she began to select a suitable person to take care of A Jian.

Hongyu is a lesson for us. We must be extra careful when choosing people this time.

Feng Ying was so cautious that he trusted no one except himself.

[Just let me take a look. No one can escape my sharp eyes.] Li Jidao had nothing to do and made no progress in his practice. He was so bored.

Feng Ying's eyes lit up. How could he have forgotten that A Jian was a genius?

Feng Ying asked Feng's mother to call all the people who had been bought before.

In addition to the burly old woman, there were four young girls.

They are all two or three years older than A Jian, and are just the right size to serve A Jian and be her playmates.

Feng Ying asked Ah Jian: "Ah Jian, take a look, is there anything you like? If so, just blink your eyes."

Li Jidao immediately saw the girl at the back. She was pale and thin, as if she had been malnourished for a long time. However, her eyes were very sharp and she looked around randomly when she came in.

[This girl is clearly glowing with yellow light, and is destined to be rich and powerful, so how could she end up living among the common people? ]

Feng Ying:?

She called the girl out and said, "Come in front of me so I can take a good look at you."

Mrs. Zhuang said hurriedly, "Madam, they said that this girl used to be a thief and escaped from that place. It was my uncle who said it was inconvenient for him to keep her with him, so he asked me to bring her back to you as a sweeper."

[She is destined to be a phoenix. She must have been lost by her family.] Li Jidao was almost certain: [This girl will have good fortune in the future.]

[If she wants to stay, this girl is still a lucky star, luckier than the average person, and she may also be the lucky one of the Li family in the future. ]

Feng Ying thought that it was a lucky star that he got lost. For such a good thing, he must think of Ah Jian first.

She called the girl, "From now on, you will follow me and serve me well. What's your name?"

The little girl looked at Li Jidao and said excitedly: "I didn't have a name before, please give me one, madam."

Li Jidao thought: [This is the princess who has been exiled to the mortal world, so let’s call her A Liu. ]

Feng Ying:?

Is it so casual?

"How about you call yourself A-Liu from now on?"

Ah Liu: "Madam, do you have any explanation?"

Feng Ying glanced at Li Ji and said, "No, I just said it casually."

Mrs. Zhuang: “?”

My wife has been a bit casual lately.

Yes, ever since Ah Jian was nearly killed, there has been a different temperament in my wife, hard to explain, casual? Eccentric!!

In addition to A Liu, Feng Ying also selected two strong maids for Li Jidao to protect A Jian's safety.

Everything is ready, we can set off.

After Li Jidao went out and looked at the bustling and prosperous Luoyang City, he felt like he was back in the past.

But she seldom went out before.

The Li family's reputation is not entirely due to fate, but also the result of acquired efforts.

If she had not learned the tenth level of the Great Evolution Technique before the age of twenty, she would not have been able to compete with those aristocratic families and would have been swallowed up by them long ago.

This is the responsibility of every true household head.

Because when they are twenty years old, the previous generation of successors must be over sixty years old. Either they leaked too many secrets and died, or they can no longer discern the secrets and need to retire.

Therefore, the next head of the family must learn everything the family has learned before the previous head leaves office.

She and her father should be the most powerful heirs in the family.

When my father was eighteen years old, he had already mastered the fourteenth level of the Great Evolution Technique and could learn all the mysterious arts in the world.

She had mastered the fifteenth level when she was fifteen.

But she had no time to play for the remaining three years because her father died suddenly while reading Tuibei Tu.

He must have seen something that he shouldn't have seen, but his father didn't say it out loud.

There was only a few simple words written on the paper, which should be a suicide note for her.

Growing up in such an environment, Li Jidao got used to a comfortable life even if he wanted to go out for a walk, and seldom traveled far.

She should be longing for the outside world.

There were also peonies in Chang'an City, although they were not as gorgeous as those in Luoyang. But every time the flowers bloomed, the noble families would hold flower shows for everyone to eat, drink and have fun.

She actually wanted to go too.

But no one gave her an invitation.

Later, on days when the weather was fine, she would sneak out with her servants to see the wild peonies on the roadside.

There were many people watching, too. Men and women were having fun and enjoying themselves by the moat, gathered under tents or folding screens.

Today is almost like an outing day. There are many carriages and horses outside, and there are also Hu people passing by with their families and pulling some novel toys.

When carriages crossed each other, one could smell a mixture of body odor and spices.

Li Jidao looked for a while, and used the first level of Dayan Technique to perceive that the road ahead was auspicious.

But there is a bloody smell over there, and I don’t know how many people will die. How can it be auspicious?

The Great Evolution Technique does not deceive people, unless she has learned it incorrectly.

Li Jidao thought about it and then she fell asleep.

"Mrs. Jian fell asleep too quickly." A Liu looked after Li Jidao, a little bit unbelievable. She fell asleep as soon as she touched the pillow.

Feng Ying was riding in the same car with them. Feng Ying had discovered over the past few days that A Jian actually slept most of the time and fell asleep very quickly.

This child must have consumed a lot of energy, so he is tired.

"Don't disturb Jian."

There was no conversation along the way, and it took them more than an hour to reach the Thousand Buddha Temple not far from the city.

The Thousand Buddha Temple is built on a mountain, and there are many stone Buddha statues on the mountainside.

The current Empress Dowager is a Buddhist, and the Emperor is filial and orders people to carve thousands of Buddha statues to pray for the Empress Dowager.

Nowadays, there are still people doing corvée work on the ridge, hanging on ropes halfway up the mountain and doing their work.

Li Jidao woke up shortly after he fell to the ground, and Feng Ying and A Liu helped him down.

When they entered, they were greeted by young novice monks and servants of the Xiao family.

Originally this was just a common etiquette, nothing big, but A Liu saw two groups of maids welcoming them, and the maids in pink seemed to be suppressing the maids in green.

There was no quarrel at the time, but from the looks in their eyes, those in green clothes were definitely going to be scolded.

Ah Liu looked at Feng Ying: "Why are they so weird?"

Li Ji said: [Because the Xiao family has two mistresses.]

[Xiao Yan was not from an aristocratic family. Before he became rich, he married Yin, the daughter of a wealthy family in the same town, as his principal wife. Later, Xiao Yan was promoted by a nobleman and became a general and a scholar. In order to consolidate his position, he married Guo, the only daughter of the governor of Liangzhou.]

[Guo was of high status, and Yin volunteered to be his concubine. However, Guo's son had a strange disease, so she was unable to take charge of the family affairs. Now Yin was in charge of all matters at home.]

[But the people who followed Guo were not convinced and tried to make trouble for Yin. Yin was gentle and would not let her servants become enemies with Guo, so she was tolerant.]

[The one in pink must be Guo's servant, and the one in green must be Yin's servant.]
