Xin Wang's silence made Mrs. Xin afraid.
Xin Lang was not very kind to Xiang Mao Zi. She could always tell that Xin Lang was careless and perfunctory towards Xiang Mao Zi. This feeling was too obvious. When the two children were together, Xin Lang always favors Xin Mao.
Xiangmaozi was too stupid to see it, but she, the mother-in-law, always saw it in her eyes and heart.
So Mrs. Xin always felt that as long as she told this matter, it would definitely happen!
Xin Wang will immediately agree to her, and then find a way to take the fairy fate of Xiangmao Zi to Xin Mao.
However, Xin Lang was silent.
Not as she expected, she agreed immediately without hesitation.
Mrs. Xin went crazy. She didn't care about her shame at all. She jumped out of the bed naked and stepped on Xin Wang's chest. "You've been stabbed a thousand times. You keep saying you're good to me, but now you're like this." You won't agree to anything! That's your son, your seed, your biological son!!!"
She beat and tore Xin Wang's chest hard, "You heartless person!!! Give my parents one tael of silver, and from then on you coax me to wash and cook for you, give birth to and raise your children. But what about me, I Now I ask you for this one thing, and you won't even agree!! You just said you would be nice to me, and you promised me so much just now!"
Unlike Madam Xin's madness, Xin Lang had just been thinking about a question: could this fairy fate only belong to Xiangmaozi?
Although he didn't want to admit it, Xin Wang felt vaguely in his heart that Abai was not an ordinary person and that he was not worthy of her.
Perhaps, only Abai's daughter could have formed this magical relationship, but ordinary people like Xin Mao and A Chang probably couldn't.
Lady Xin didn't know Xin Lang's thoughts. She cried and complained about how she had worked hard and worried about the family since she married Xin Lang. But now she can't even win such a great opportunity for her son. Fight!
"What's the point of living for me? It's better to just die..." Lady Xin wailed.
Xin Wang looked at the crying woman whose face was covered with snot, and felt helpless, "I'm afraid Mao'er won't be able to accept this fairy fate."
Madam Xin immediately asked, "Why can't you take it?"
Xin Wang hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell the truth, "Xiang Maozi's mother, I'm afraid she has some background."
This is the first time Xin Wang mentioned Xiangmaozi's mother.
It's not like Madam Xin hasn't asked her before. Every time she mentioned something, Xin Lang's face would change drastically and she would say sternly, "Why do people even mention what she did when she's gone? If you don't have anything else to do, Pick up everything at home and don't think about disturbing your wife's tongue all day long."
Mrs. Xin didn't dare to ask again after being scolded several times. I'm afraid Xin Lang will dislike her because of this.
And she is not without pride in her heart. It seems that Xin Wang's relationship with the former lady is not good, so she doesn't even want to mention it.
Today was the first time she heard about Xiangmaozi's mother from Xin Lang. But this short sentence made her subvert her previous understanding. The past between Xiangmaozi's mother and Xin Lang might not be as she imagined.
"What happened to her mother? You, do you still remember her?" Madam Xin asked tremblingly with tears in her eyes, "You never let me ask before, and I didn't dare to ask, for fear of hurting you. But. After so many years, you still have her in your heart, right? That's why you won't let Xiangmaozi give up the fairy fate to our Maoer. You, what do you mean by my living, wuwuwu." This time, Mrs. Xin I finally got really sad.
Xin Wang saw her naked and having sex for a long time, and now she was really sad and started to cry. He couldn't help but couldn't help but laugh and cry, so he quickly took some clothes and put them on her himself.
"Look where you have gone. Xiangmaozi's mother is actually different from us. Her and I are all in the past. Now, we are husband and wife. Don't cry, I will talk to you carefully. ." Xin Lang rarely had the patience to coax Lady Xin in a nice voice.
Mrs. Xin did not dare to be too angry. She slowly held back her tears and lowered her head in silence.
When Xin Lang saw that she looked wronged and timid, a place in his heart seemed to turn into water.
He slowly said to Mrs. Xin, "Xiangmaozi's mother's origins are somewhat extraordinary. Although she refuses to tell her, I guess she may be a fairy who cultivates immortality."
Madam Xin's heart was full of ups and downs, and she was filled with surprise.
In the eyes of mortals, those female immortal cultivators are all fairies who have a great affinity with immortality. These aloof fairies are either dancing gracefully in the clouds, or enjoying life carelessly without any worries. They will not marry mortals.
Immortals all have long lives, and the shortest one is more than a hundred years. I heard that the old immortals from the top sects all have the same life span as the heaven and the earth, and the same life span as the sun and the moon. Mortals are busy with their hard work, and they cannot escape from birth, old age, illness and death. In just a few decades, they will show their old age and their lives will be over.
Once you become an immortal, it is another world.
It is difficult for people from two worlds to really be together.
Occasionally, among mortals, there are some fairies who fall in love with ordinary mortals and marry them, becoming long-lasting and touching legends. But those mortals were either lofty emperors or handsome young men. But no illiterate villager had ever been favored by the fairy.
"Then, what about her, how about she..." Mrs. Xin opened her mouth for a long time, but she couldn't form a sentence. What she wanted to say was: Then how could she like you? But these words were too shabby, and she couldn't say them to Xin Lang.
Xin Wang understood what Mrs. Xin had never said, and he sneered, "How could she take a fancy to me? Well, she didn't take a fancy to me. I didn't know what happened to her at that time. She was unconscious in the gutter alone, and everyone saw No matter what, a man or a woman asked me to pick her up. That's how we got the lemongrass."
After hearing this, Lady Xin felt a lot more comfortable. If she picked it up without a betrothal gift or a matchmaker, she couldn't be considered a decent lady.
Mrs. Xin had a lot to say, but the first thing she asked was, "Well, how is she?" As a woman, she probably had to compare this question.
Although Xin Wang doesn't like to talk, he should have a lot of insight. At least on this matter, he knows that he can't tell the truth. He coaxed Mrs. Xin, "Look at Xiangmaozi's appearance, and you will know what her mother looks like."
Mrs. Xin felt even more relieved when she thought about Xiangmaozi's dark, skinny little face.
Madam Xin asked Xin Langmo again: "What about this fairy fate?"
Xin Wang said to Madam Xin with all his heart, "It's not that I don't want to give it to Damao, but I'm afraid it won't be useful if the time comes. This immortal relationship also requires spiritual roots and so on. You see, our Damao seems to have that kind of A basic child?!"
Even if Mrs. Xin is Xin Mao's biological mother, she still has to admit that Xin Mao doesn't look like a child with spiritual roots. On the contrary, Xiangmaozi has been quick at everything since elementary school, and looks like she has some aura.
But so what? !
Mrs. Xin gritted her teeth and said, "I have to try it."
Xin Lang still didn't answer. This time it's not a question of whether immortality can be given to people. Lady Xin has made it very clear that she would rather waste the opportunity than let Xin Mao try.
She is Xin Mao's biological mother, so it is normal to favor Xin Mao.
But Xinwang is different. Xiangmaozi and Xinmao are both his children. No matter how cute Lemongrass was, he watched her grow up day by day.
Seeing A Chang protecting Xin Mao like this, Xin Lang thought, if A Bai was still here, would she protect Xiang Mao Zi?
Xin Lang doesn't know.
In his memory, Abai didn't like the child, and she even rarely hugged her out of disappointment.
Maybe Abai didn't want to give him a child at all.
Perhaps, Citronella was not expected to come into this world at all.
"His father?!" Lady Xin pushed Xin Lang again.
Xin Wang got up and got dressed, "I'll talk to Xiangmaozi about this first."
Madam Xin said anxiously, "What else are we talking about?!"
Xin Wang didn't reply to her, but opened the door and walked out alone. Mrs. Xin was not dressed properly and could not chase her out immediately. By the time she hurriedly put on her clothes, Xin Wang had already left and couldn't even see his shadow.
In the school, Xiangmaozi once again answered the teacher's questions perfectly. She mastered all the things that the teacher taught yesterday and today.
Engineer nodded with satisfaction and glared at Xin Mao fiercely. He had nervously answered a few wrong questions just now. Although he didn't get slapped on the palm by his husband, he still received a serious warning.
So Xin Mao started to recite today's new words again and again with a frown on his face.
After memorizing the front and forgetting the back, Xiao Xin Mao's brows and eyes were twisted together in worry. He always wanted to grab Citronella's sleeve when his husband wasn't paying attention.
But Xiangmaozi ignored her. Now she has her own worries and has no time to talk to Xin Mao. Seeing Xin Mao's frequent tugging, Xiangmaozi simply flicked an adze on his forehead.
What Xiangmaozi was thinking about was the issue of the Ascension Order.
Lady Xin's actions suddenly reminded Xiangmaozi of this problem. The Ascension Order requires people to go to Fucheng to participate in the selection before June 15th.
Fucheng is not close to Huangshi Town. If you ride a fast horse and leave early, it will take a long day. If you are walking or driving an ox cart, you will have to walk slowly and quickly for two days, and you will have to sleep one night in Qingya Town.
Xiangmaozi found out the route clearly, but she was worried.
How is she going to get there?
Going to Fucheng is a big deal.
When ordinary people go to Fucheng, they either agree with someone in advance and gather people to go together; they also spend a special sum of money and hire a carriage to go there for two days.
Both of these things are troublesome.
The first thing is that there are so many people. Everyone has to ask each other what you are doing in Fucheng, whether you are visiting relatives or doing business.
Although there are not many people in the second category, they need a lot of money. Hiring a car to go to Fucheng costs at least 300 yuan, which is the price for an acquaintance.
Xiangmaozi didn't know what excuse she was going to use to go to Fucheng. She was a little girl. If there was no adult to take her, even the coachman might not be willing to take her with her. Moreover, she has no money. Shopkeeper Chen naturally didn't ask for her 100 yuan, but the money was far from enough.
We have been away for two days. If we don't tell our parents, they will definitely think that the child is lost and mobilize everyone to help find him. But if she told her parents, she couldn't even think of an excuse.
Therefore, Xiangmaozi was debating whether to tell her father or not.
Now it seems that telling her father is the most reliable way. If her father agrees, he can naturally send her to Fucheng to participate in the selection, and then all the problems will be solved.
Xiangmaozi's only worry and tangle is that Xin Wang doesn't believe her words and will think it's false and ignore her request at all.
Now, Xiang Maozi's little mind was full of thoughts on how to convince her father that there really was an order to ascend to immortality.
Amid Xiang Maozi's distraction and Xin Mao's worry, today's class ended.
Xiangmaozi led Xin Mao home.
Xin Mao muttered and complained, "You didn't tell me anything today. If I forget, my husband will definitely beat you again. Look at me when I go back and tell you that you don't care about me and let my mother beat you."
Xiangmaozi raised his arm and threatened to beat Xin Mao, "You can sue me?! I'll beat him later, believe it or not!"
Xin Mao ran two steps first, and when he felt it was safe, he turned back and made a face, sticking out his tongue and shaking his head, "If you don't believe it, don't believe it, don't believe it!".
The two people were making trouble, and Xin Mao's sharp eyes saw a tall figure under the small bridge going home in front of him.
He screamed, "Daddy!" and flew towards him happily.
Xiang Maozi was also startled. Seeing that it was indeed Xin Lang, she also ran happily.
Xin Mao first hugged Xin Lang's thigh, not letting go like a little monkey.
Xiangmaozi was a bit shy. He just held his father's big hand, jumped on the spot a few times, and kicked Xin Mao, who was screaming, with the instep of his feet.
Xin Lang touched Xiang Maozi's head, then picked up Xin Mao and hugged him.
Xin Mao struggled to get off the ground, "Dad, I'm a student now. I can't be held by you. I'll be laughed at by my classmates!"
Xin Wang sneered at him, "You are eighty years old and you are also my father's son. I can hug you if you want!" As he said this, he gently put Xin Mao down in his hand.
There happened to be a swarm of classmates running past, and Xin Mao shouted and joined in. I saw a bunch of children in the same clothes, squeaking and running away together, like a group of particularly noisy ducks.
Xin Wang was left holding Xiangmaozi's hand and walking slowly behind.
Just like a loving father coming to pick up his children from school, things are stable and the years are quiet.
The two of them walked slowly, and Xin Wang asked Xiangmaozi, "Yesterday, your stepmother gave you a bath and said that there was a small jade piece on your body, which was very eye-catching. Where did it come from?"
Xiangmaozi was worrying about how to convince her father, but she didn't expect that her father would take the initiative to mention the matter.
Xiangmaozi asked nervously, "Dad, have you heard about something big happening recently?"
Xin Wang said, "What's the big deal?"
"It's a matter of the Immortal Road opening up and the Immortal accepting disciples."
Xin Wang said calmly, "I heard it, what?"
Xiangmaozi swallowed her saliva, "Then tell me, if an immortal accepts a disciple, wouldn't everyone want to do it?" She tried her best to inspire her father.
Xin Lang hummed, "Nine times out of ten." This means that eight or nine people must want to go.
So Xiangmaozi said, "Yes, so there are so many people who want to go, so how do you choose the immortals? There are thousands of people in our villages and towns alone. How can we choose the immortals? So I heard , there are rules for immortals to choose mortals."
"What's the rule?"
"I heard that if you want to be chosen by an immortal, you must have a sign. It's called the Immortal Ascension Order!" Xiangmaozi said crisply.
Order of Ascension to Immortality? Didn't it say it was called the Immortal Order? Xin Wang looked at Xiangmaozi in surprise, and the surprise in his expression was not fake at all.
Xiangmaozi saw that his father had the patience to listen to her, and quickly explained exactly what shopkeeper Chen had popularized to them.
Now Xin Lang also understood. It turned out that this thing was not called the Immortal Order, but the Immortal Ascension Order. It was just the entry test qualification to become a disciple of the Immortal. It is estimated that an ignorant woman like Aunt Song would have misheard and mistook the Immortal Order for the Immortal Order.
After Xiang Maozi finished speaking, he carefully looked at his father's face, "So, without this Ascension Order, there would be no chance! Only those who have the Ascension Order can rush to Fucheng on June 15th. Test the opportunity or not."
Xin Wang asked, "June 15th? How do you know it?"
Xiangmaozi swallowed, "Dad, this jade piece of mine is the immortal order given to me by the immortal. The immortal also told me that he wanted me to take the jade piece and rush to Fucheng on June 15th. Tell me where there is a recruitment and assessment place. You will know when you go there."
