The elder at the daughter-in-law selection banquet came to check the spiritual roots of all the ladies on behalf of Mrs. Long. In fact, he mainly checked Tang Yue's spiritual roots.
But she refused to participate in the talent show, so her spiritual roots have never been detected.
Mrs. Long looked around at the ladies, and particularly liked a few girls with top-grade single spiritual roots. Among them was Nangong Yan, the daughter of the city lord of Huayue City. She had a top-grade mutated wind spirit root and a good family background. , will not wrong her son.
But she also thought that she was also a Tian-grade mutated single spirit root, and the child she gave birth to was just an earth-grade single spirit root. She suddenly felt that all her efforts would be in vain, and she felt a little discouraged. , and have no thoughts about the next assessment.
The maids brought in a person, the elder of the Dragon family who helped her check the woman's spiritual root. Mrs. Long gathered her thoughts and asked, "Uncle, what's the matter?"
This elder has great abilities and an arrogant temper. He agreed to check the spiritual roots for her, which is a great honor to her, the wife of the Long family. He took the initiative to come to her, there must be something important.
The third uncle said: "The ancestor just sent me a message and asked me to tell you that the Miss Tang family of Kunwu City has a heavenly five-element spiritual root, which is rare in the world. He has never seen it before. Moreover, she has a psychic body and excellent bones. I am afraid it will be difficult to meet another woman like this."
This is undoubtedly good news for Mrs. Long, but she thought of Tang Yue at all. I don’t want to be Yang Er’s wife, so I’m afraid this matter will be a bit difficult to handle.
I am also very surprised by the attitude of my ancestor, "Did my ancestor choose this child to become Yang'er's wife?"
The third uncle of the Long family shook his head, "I don't know. , the ancestor just informed her of her qualifications.”
Another maid came in and reported: "Madam, Miss Tang said that Madam is busy today and I'm afraid I won't be able to see her, so I want to say goodbye first and come to visit another day."
Mrs. Long frowned, why are you waiting like this? Not enough, but I was afraid that after she left here, it would be difficult to invite me into the house again. I pondered for a while and said to the maid: "Go and ask Miss Tang to see me and tell her that I am free now and want to ask about Kunwu Sword." "Shi's matter."
On the other side, Tang Yue listened to the maid's message and was not sure whether Mrs. Long wanted to keep her, because she wanted to take the opportunity to kill someone, or did she really want to ask about Jian Shi?
This matter is really difficult to handle. If she goes there and there happens to be a trap waiting for her, then she will not be able to get out of the Dragon Mansion; if she refuses firmly, she will not only lose an opportunity to make money, but also It may also hurt the relationship between the Long family and Kunwu City, which may implicate the mother and damage her prestige.
Tang Yue gritted his teeth and went anyway. Senior Brother Ji was on the way here, and Mrs. Long may not be the mastermind behind the scenes.
"Mrs. Long has worked hard for half a day and still spares time for me, a junior. I am very grateful."
Tang Yue looked at the room. It looked like an ordinary banquet room, but Long Madam's cultivation is at the stage of becoming a god, so it would still be difficult to kill her with one blow.
She felt a little relieved, but she was still wary.
Mrs. Long was not as solemn and solemn as she was at the banquet just now. She actually looked like a loving elder. She smiled and said: "When the children who practice swordsmanship in the clan have to choose their natal magic weapon, this is related to their cultivation and future. I should worry more about them.”
“The brothers and sisters of the Long family are really blessed to have an elder like you who cares about them everywhere.”
Next, Tang Yue talked eloquently, explaining to Mrs. Long one by one the grading, characteristics, price, and even the casting method and year of production of the Kunwu sword stone.
She spoke carefully, often using famous swords as examples, saying that a certain great swordsman used Kunwu sword stones. After talking about it, Mrs. Long really wanted to buy some sword stones.
She realized that although Tang Yue was not as dignified and polite as other young ladies, her family management skills were probably not inferior to those of Nangong Yan, so she gave her some points in her heart.
Suddenly, a boy came to report that Chongguang, the concubine of the Shangqing Palace, came to visit and wanted to purchase a batch of Longfu's special ambergris.
Longfu Ambergris does not come from the whale in the sea, but from the real dragon. It has a special fragrance and has the effect of warding off evil spirits and avoiding insects and snakes. Every year, many people come to Longfu to buy it.
But Ji Chongguang came directly without posting first, which made Mrs. Long a little strange, but she was afraid of delaying the urgent affairs of the Shangqing Palace, so she let Ji Chongguang come in.
After Ji Chongguang arrived at the banquet living room, he first took a look at Tang Yue and made sure that she was fine, and felt a little at ease. Then he saluted Mrs. Long and said: "Mrs. Long, the matter is urgent. My nephew came to see me without sending me a message. Please forgive me."
"Young Palace Master, there is no need to say this. , Shangqing Palace has paid a lot for the peace and prosperity of Liuzhou Realm. If Shangqing Palace needs us, the Long family will be obliged to do so."
Mrs. Long secretly looked at this luxuriously dressed young man with peerless appearance and beautiful eyes. There was a faint brilliance in the middle, which was a sign of successful practice. She secretly regretted that this was not her son.
"Thank you, Madam Long. You also know that many disciples in Huayue City have been deprived of their spiritual roots in recent days. Some spiritual roots have been recovered, but none of the various sects can think of a way to put the spiritual roots back into the disciples. They can only They are afraid that those fellow Taoists will become useless, so the great masters of various sects are thinking of ways to save these disciples."
"Yes, our Long family is also actively thinking of ways, I believe. We will definitely be able to save those victims.”
“My elders in the Shangqing Palace are also working tirelessly to find a way to rescue them. Maybe it can put people's spiritual roots back."
"I see, that's why you asked to buy a batch of ambergris, so that the monks will be less injured when they go to the Insect Valley to look for poison. It's so noble, I'll give you a batch of ambergris."
Ji Chongguang declined, "No, if I use this excuse to get ambergris in vain today, more people will come to Long Mansion tomorrow. Asking for ambergris, and the production of ambergris is limited after all. If Long Mansion cannot produce it by then, it will damage Long Mansion’s reputation.”
Mrs. Long knows that Ji Chongguang’s mature behavior will not be in vain. I wanted her fragrance, I just said that on purpose.
"It's difficult for the young palace master to be so considerate, so I'll sell it to you at a low price." Selling it at a low price will only make less money. If it is given for free, it will be like what Ji Chongguang said. Just like that.
After the matter of Ambergris was settled, Ji Chongguang seemed to have just seen Tang Yue and asked: "I wonder what Junior Sister Tang is doing in the house? I just saw many young ladies from aristocratic families in the house. They are Long Madam, did you invite you to the banquet?"
Tang Yue said with a smile: "Mrs. Long invited those ladies to the party, but I am here to discuss the Kunwu ore business with Madam Long."
“So that’s it, I’m interrupting your business.”
"Don't bother me. I have already made an agreement with Mrs. Long, but the business was completed in just one day. Mrs. Long can send someone to inform me of the result after a while. I should go back to my guest house with the teachers at Wuji Mountain. In the village, Mrs. Long is still busy, so I’m going to leave.”
Mrs. Long was annoyed. After talking for a long time, she didn’t get to the point at all. Miss Tang was about to leave again. She took her seriously. Such determination, not even a hint of kissing.
But Young Palace Master Ji is also here. If she insists on staying, then the Long family will rush to let someone become their daughter-in-law, and they will lose their face.
I had no choice but to say: "If that's the case, then I won't keep you. I'll invite you after we've discussed it."
Tang Yue doesn't want to enter the Dragon Mansion alone again. When she got back, she was about to write a letter to her mother, asking her to send someone to negotiate business. At this time, she only responded, "Waiting for Mrs. Long's good news."
Ji Chongguang didn't even sit down and said: " Since Mrs. Long agreed and you have something else to do, I can't stay here for a long time, so I'll take my leave. I'll send someone from my family to get the incense later."
"Young Palace Master, go and get busy. Everything can't happen without you."
After the two people left, Mrs. Long realized that the people from Shangqing Palace were going to the Insect Valley in the south, so they came to look for ambergris and the insect-avoiding charm pill from Shangqing Palace. Will the medicine be enough?
The young palace master Ji came here specifically for the girl from the Tang family. He didn’t want her to be chosen as his wife by the Long family, so he came here specifically to find her.
After thinking about this, Mrs. Long felt even more resentful, and asked why this woman still looked down upon the position of the young lady of the Long family. It turned out that she had other plans, but Ji Chongguang had a fiancée, and she How dare you have such wishful thinking? .
At this time, Mrs. Long no longer wanted Tang Yue to come in. How could her daughter-in-law be thinking about another man?
She doesn’t care that Tang Yue didn’t know anything about it
