Chapter 150 Boating on the Lake
On the second day after the banquet, the city lord sent a message inviting Tang Yue to drink tea. She has figured out in the past few days that Zhao Tianming's wife died young and he had several concubines around him. Then her accepting the city lord's invitation would not be regarded as destroying other people's families, so she went with peace of mind.
Zhao Tianming is very leisurely and relaxed. He chose the artificial lake in the palace as the invitation location. The two of them sat in a boat, drank tea and admired lotus flowers, and occasionally had a few goldfish.
At this time, it was Xuan In the summer of Jian City, the temperature in the palace was not high. Tang Yue asked curiously, "I wonder if the city lord can answer my questions?"
The city lord smiled slightly and said, "It's my honor. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Ask me, and I will tell you everything I know.”
“The sun is high in the sky, cloudless, and very hot. Why is it so cool and comfortable everywhere in the palace?”
< br>"This is the magic of this palace. On the surface, it looks like ordinary wood and bricks. In fact, it contains mysterious ice that will not melt for thousands of years. The surface materials are also used just right. The pores become larger when heated. Let some cool air out, and the pores will be closed tightly when it is cold, and no cool air will be exposed. The bricks and tiles will also release the heat stored in the hot weather, so that the palace will always maintain the appropriate temperature. "
Tang Yuezai. Asked, "Xuanbing is so magical, but the coldness in it will gradually decrease. What will we do then?"
Zhao Tianming stroked his beard gently, "Brother Meng asked well, this matter is very important, Ji family The palace has a history of several thousand years, and even the best Xuanbing cannot sustain it for such a long time. The key is that there is a huge magic circle under the palace, which can continuously produce ice according to the consumption of Xuanbing to maintain the amount of Xuanbing in the house. ."
Tang Yue was even more surprised, "I heard that the requirements for making black ice are very demanding, and it also requires a large amount of pure heaven and earth spiritual energy. Normal spiritual energy is not enough, and the fire formation pattern also needs regular maintenance. The city lord's palace also needs to Making a huge investment to maintain two things?”
Hearing this, the city lord's complexion dimmed. He was originally enjoying the beautiful scenery and was in a happy mood, but this matter was mentioned.
In order to keep the Xuan Bing in this palace, he suffered terribly and did all the dirty work, just to save enough money to buy the materials for making Xuan Bing and fire patterns. He also thought about giving up. He is a monk, not a royal family. He is not afraid of severe cold and heat, and does not need to enjoy the temperature.
But my father and relatives refused. They always said that the lord of Xuanjian City had maintained his position for thousands of years and could not lose face by coming to him, otherwise he would appear to be incompetent.
So he worked hard and worked hard for a name, and finally managed to get a date with the beauty, but he still had to be mentioned about this sad incident.
He replied, "These are trivial matters, not worth mentioning. Fellow Taoist Meng can try the new noodles from the City Lord's Mansion. They are not available outside and are made from the finest spiritual wheat."
Looking at his avoidance, Tang Yue knew that the things consumed to maintain the formation must not be cheap, and he was probably struggling to support it.
Following the other party's desire to change the topic, she picked up a piece of pastry and put it into her mouth. It was soft and glutinous but not greasy, and the aura and aroma filled her mouth. It had a refreshing feeling, which was really good.
"The City Lord's Mansion is indeed an outstanding place, and it is actually possible to make such a pastry that combines the properties of ingredients and spiritual energy at the same time. It is so ingenious."
The City Lord is secretly proud that the chef in his house is... Specially invite the spiritual chef, which is not available anywhere else, "If you like it, you might as well take some back."
Tang Yue was about to say yes, when suddenly a person rushed out of the water, "Suffer death!"
A sword was pointed directly at her neck. Tang Yue remained motionless, waving his sleeves and knocking the person into the lake with his spiritual power.
The voice just now should be that of a woman. Could it be the love debt of the city lord?
The city lord quickly apologized to her, "I'm really sorry for disturbing fellow Taoist Meng. This is my prostitute Aoxue. Thank you for your mercy, fellow Taoist Meng."
His daughter It was just the cultivation of Jindan. If Meng Furong had meant it, she would have been killed just now. Fortunately, she just knocked the person into the lake.
Tang Yue's face was calm, "It is indeed not easy to have children. City Lord, please see how your daughter is doing."
In fact, she was crazy and proud. This is what a monk in the integration stage Strength? There is a feeling that the world is in your hands and you can call the wind and rain.
The city lord thought of apologizing, so he flew out of the boat, used a spiritual energy to pull up the woman fluttering in the lake, flew to the shore together, and scolded: "Aoxue, what are you talking about again?"
The lady from the City Lord's Mansion named Aoxue is also a pretty girl, but her face is not good, her clothes are soaked, and she is a little embarrassed. Aoxue raised her head and looked at her father, "Am I joking? Stop joking. My mother passed away just over twenty years ago, and you brought in several concubines. Now you are having a tryst with this woman. Do you want to marry her? Wife? Did the vows you made with your mother all come to nothing? Mother.
City Lord Zhao was also very embarrassed. Even if he had this intention, it was only the second day after they met. They had just exchanged a few words. It was too embarrassing to mention this matter. He scolded: "What nonsense are you talking about?" , I came to Monk Meng to discuss something today, which is not what you said.”
“I need to use the cook my mother left for me, and I need to use your original love. The boat? My mother said that it was on this boat that she decided to marry you."
City Lord Zhao looked at the boat and he didn't remember it. , was it really what she used when she expressed her feelings? It can be seen that his love thinking has not changed much in the past few decades. When he meets someone with good intentions, he wants to invite her to take the boat with him.
Tang Yue saw that the city lord would not be able to finish the work for a while, and it was not good for him to watch others training the girls, so he flew ashore and smiled at the city lord, "It seems that the city lord has something to do, so I won't bother you anymore. If you have any instructions for me someday, please send me a spiritual message."
Aoxue on the ground heard that she wanted the city lord to contact her, and shouted: "You are a shameless woman, you are so young. To seduce the old man."
In order to avoid hearing any more embarrassing words or being unable to resist patting this woman to death, Tang Yue left quickly. Aoxue was actually more powerful than her and directly called her father an old man.
Sure enough, the scolding of City Lord Zhao came from behind, "What did you say?"
After she left, City Lord Zhao continued to teach his daughter, "Monk Meng is a powerful person in the integration stage, you "You just rushed out like that, if she hadn't been merciful, you would have been killed."
Aoxue only now knew that this woman was actually a monk in the integration stage. No one told her, and she felt scared for a while, but she still said hard. , "Your cultivation level must be higher than hers. If I died in her hands on the spot, you must have disliked me and didn't want me to live, so you sent me to reunite with my mother."
City Lord Zhao is too angry Now, this daughter keeps saying these things to me all day long to make him angry, "Tell me, why am I sorry for you? You keep saying these things to me all day long."
Aoxue saw that her father was very angry and felt a little weak. "You want to find me a stepmother. Aren't you sorry for me? After she gave birth to her son, she inherited Xuanjian City. Do I still have a place here?" "
"What are you thinking? The city lord of Xuanjian is appointed by Xuanyuan Mountain, and I can decide where?"
"But the city lord appointed for thousands of years has been our Zhao family. There will be no accidents in the future. You didn’t deny that you wanted to marry her because you wanted to give birth to a boy as your heir.” That's okay, after all, I got this position from my elder brother, and now I'm giving it back to him."
Zhao Aoxue's expression changed, "You can't pass on the position of city lord that you finally got. Brother, if he hates me so much, he will definitely take revenge on me in the future."
"Then I can't have a son, and I can't pass on the position of city lord to my eldest brother's son. You are not successful, and you can't expect it. , what else can I do?”
Zhao Aoxue stood up, seemingly determined, “You can leave the child alone, I will raise the child.”
The city lord was speechless. If you let her raise it, you will raise another lazy waste. She sighed and said, "You should go back first. I know it well."
Zhao Aoxue walked to a deserted pavilion. "That little bitch dared to harm me."
