Chapter 177, My son, have you become an immortal?
Xiangyang City, Governor’s Mansion.
Based on the principle that women in the back house should not interfere in the affairs of the front hall, Mrs. Pei, who rarely came to the main hall of the government office, was anxiously turning around in front of the main hall.
“Why haven’t you come back yet? Why haven’t you come back yet?”
“Oh, Madam, please stop turning around. It’s giving me a headache.”
Pei Xiu sat on the chair, rubbing his temples, looking at his wife helplessly.
The two of them were deeply in love. Pei Xiu only had Madam Pei as a woman in the back house, and he had never taken a concubine. On the day of his marriage, he promised Madam Pei that they would be together for life.
Over the years, the relationship between the couple has never been worn out, but like aged wine, it has become more intoxicating.
People like Pei Xiu who are in a high position and can keep the back house clean are extremely rare in this era. Madam Pei loves her husband very much because of this, but it is inevitable that she has become a little spoiled because of years of pampering.
She rolled her eyes at Pei Xiu and exhaled, “I’m not worried about Hongxuan, he’s always a good person, but Yao’er is so young…” 18
“What are you afraid of?” Pei Xiu sat on the armchair, picked up the teacup and blew away the foam, raised his eyebrows, “The news came that the spirit girl took the two children to Zishan, and you are still worried that the spirit girl will harm the two children?”
“Of course not-”
“So you are worried about encountering strong men on the road? It’s hard to say about other places, but this is Xiangzhou, at the foot of Zishan. Who dares to do such a thing that will go to hell after death?”
“What about death? Pah pah pah! Okay, okay, I can’t argue with you!”
Mrs. Pei didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. She also knew that there was no need to worry about safety issues, but it was the nature of a mother. Seeing that the two children, one big and one small, had not returned home late at night, she always felt uneasy.
Seeing Pei Xiu frowning from time to time, Madam Pei sighed secretly again.
Coming forward to smooth the wrinkles between his eyebrows, Madam Pei said softly: “Are you still worried about the food storage in Xiangzhou?”
“Yes.
” Compared with the two children, the most important thing at the moment is the livelihood of the people in Xiangzhou, especially the newly resettled refugees around Xiangyang City.
“If it were a peaceful time, the court would dispatch food and grass, but you know the current situation.
The emperor’s decrees cannot even leave Chang’an City.
Officials in various places are showing signs of separatism.
Some local governors even openly In ancient times, the governor of a state held both military and political power, and had become a de facto governor.
”
“Isn’t your husband also a governor?” Madam Pei patted Pei Xiu’s shoulder and tried to comfort him, “You are still the governor of Shannan East Road.”
If this had been said in the past, Pei Xiu would have reprimanded him, but now the world is like this, and Pei Xiu also knows that the court cannot be relied on. If Zhou loses its power, the whole world will chase it. If he doesn’t do something, he is afraid that it will really bring disaster.
You can’t always count on the help of the gods and spirit girls every time there is a war, right?
While the couple was talking at night, a young man hurriedly came from outside the main hall, stopped in front of the hall, saluted and reported: “Master, Madam, the young master and the young lady are back!”The Pei couple stood up in surprise and saw two figures, one big and one small, entering the main hall.
“Hongxuan! Yao’er! You two can be considered——”
Mrs. Pei, who hurried forward, stopped where she was before she finished her words, looking at her two children who were so familiar to her in the past with doubt and uncertainty.
They were still the same, but why did they feel that their children were a little different after just going out with the spirit girl to the Purple Mountain?
Pei Hongxuan walked like a dragon and a tiger, with an upright posture, heroic spirit between his eyebrows, and tough and sharp eyes. From a distance, one could feel the compelling breath of a veteran on the battlefield.
Daughter Pei Wenyao walked gracefully, like a smart butterfly, with a gleam of light occasionally flashing in her eyes. When you get closer, you can actually smell a faint and wonderful fragrance.
Behind the two of them, there was a burly man in coarse linen clothes, who was the retired soldier who had climbed up the Purple Mountain.
At this time, his steps were steady, and there was no sign of his previous disability or lameness.
“Father, mother, my child is back. It’s my fault that you two were worried.”
As soon as they met, Pei Hongxuan bowed and apologized.
The burly man behind him clasped his fists and saluted in a muffled voice: “Greetings, Lord.”
“No need to be polite.” Pei Xiu looked at the burly man in surprise, and helped Pei Hongxuan and Pei Wenyao up, “Tell me, what happened this time?”
When he asked, his voice unconsciously trembled a little, as if he had guessed that his children might have a chance to become immortals.
Pei Hongxuan smiled and slowly recounted the situation of his trip to Zishan…
…Dividing line…
A flash of light and shadow passed by, and Cheng Yaojia once again returned to the Donghuang Temple.
“Miss! Miss, you are finally back!”
“Yaojia!”
“My son!”
As soon as the girl appeared, she saw the maids looking at her in surprise, and her parents, who should have been at Cheng’s house, also tried to rush onto the jade platform with tears in their eyes.
As always, they were pushed out with a gentle force.
Cheng Yaojia quickly walked down the jade platform and threw herself into her mother’s arms.
The maid wiped her tears and sobbed, telling Cheng Yaojia intermittently that since she disappeared, the girls were frightened and didn’t know what to do. They could only send someone back to Cheng Mansion to inform the master and his wife. Then the old couple Cheng hurried over and surrounded the jade platform. They could do nothing but wait and hope that their daughter would appear again. Don’t really fly to the sky as the legend said, and return to the world.
“Dad, mother, it’s Yaojia’s fault that you are worried.”
Cheng Yaojia apologized softly and comforted her crying mother with soft words. Cheng’s mother just held her daughter’s hand tightly and refused to let go.
After all, Cheng’s father was a man, and his emotions were more restrained. After calming down, he asked about what happened. (To read the exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
Cheng Yaojia thought of this bizarre situation, looked around, and suddenly waved her hand and said, “Cui Lu and Cui Xia stay, everyone else go out.”
As she gave the order, Cheng Yaojia exuded an irresistible majesty. How could the lady who was always gentle and quiet in the eyes of others now have more power than the master?
The servants did not dare to stay any longer and hurriedly left. Only the old couple Cheng and Cheng Yaojia’s two personal maids remained in the courtyard.
Cheng Yaojia smiled, patted her mother’s hand to signal her to let go first, and then floated to the flower garden on the side.
“Daddy, mother, I went to another world this time. Although I didn’t see the God, I saw the Fairy Palace with my own eyes, and I also saw the Goddess and Fairy Princess in the sky.”
“God has mercy on me. I am the East Emperor Temple Priest. Now I have been granted the fairy magic by the God…”
While talking, Cheng Yaojia lightly tapped the air with her white hand.
Under the surprised and delighted, incredible eyes of the old couple Cheng and their two personal maids, the flower garden that had already shown signs of decay, in the little sparks of spiritual light, was like returning to the scene of spring in March, and in the blink of an eye, it was full of flowers…
“My son…”
Mother Cheng came forward tremblingly, wanting to grab Cheng Yaojia’s arm, but she was a little afraid.
“You…you…you have become an immortal!?”.
