Chapter 1 The Old Lady of the Lu Family in Mingshifang

Yuanhe 19th year, spring.

It rained at night, and there was a faint smell of earth in the air.Today is the [-]th birthday of the old lady of the Lu family in Mingshifang.The children and grandchildren came to Yannian Hall early in the morning to pay their respects to the old lady.

The old lady looked at the children and grandchildren in the house and sighed silently.Now that I am sixty years old, the most worrying thing is that there are too few girls in my family.Only one grandson in this life was picked up from the mountains.

I am not content with my own.If you live to this age, you have to be open-minded.Looking forward to living a long life, more than two full lifespans, maybe there will be a chance to hug my great-granddaughter.

After the Anniversary, please go to the front to arrange the trivial matters of the birthday banquet to welcome guests.Only the female relatives were left in the Yannian hall. The old lady took a sip of tea and looked up at the eldest daughter-in-law Lu, "When will Miss Zhen come back?"

Lu replied with a smile: "The letter says today is the day. Don't worry, Sister Zhen will be there in time to greet you."

Sister Zhen is a baby picked up in the mountains.Every time the old lady recalled the little milk baby who was curled up like a cat in the swaddle, her eyes would turn sour.How could a good child be thrown away?If it weren't for the unfilial son of the fourth son who was so focused on seeking the technique of ascension, he would go wandering in the mountains to find out-of-world experts when he had nothing to do, and sister Zhen would have been snatched away by wild dogs and stuffed between her teeth if she hadn't died of starvation and thirst.

The child was picked up and raised until he was three years old, which was a very painful time.An unfilial son who cannot get what he asks for is an expert who comes to his door.

Pei Dongzhai—a well-known figure in Da Zhou asserted that Sister Zhen was a rare sorcerer seedling, and it would be unreasonable not to accept her as an apprentice.In this way, the precious granddaughter was easily coaxed away.

She is not rare enough!
She still remembers the unpromising appearance of the unfilial son and the dead old man wishing he could join Pei Dongzhai's door with his granddaughter.

That's all, let's put aside the bad feelings of 800 years ago.Today is her sixtieth birthday.The old lady raised her hand to touch her forehead, then looked at the jade bracelet on her wrist, frowned and murmured: "I always feel like I forgot something. It's still very important."

Lu leaned down and reminded in a low voice, "Dragon head crutch."

Yes!Leading turn!The old lady hurriedly told Nanny Dai, "Quick, bring it to me quickly."

Nanny Dai must have left in a hurry.

The dragon head crutch was made for the old lady by Lu Zhen herself when she was ten years old.Naturally, a ten-year-old child cannot be said to be exquisite in handwork.But it's more than chic.In particular, the four dragon teeth in the dragon's mouth were carved from the bones of Lu Zhen's first slaying of evil things.

Filial piety is indeed rare, but this crutch is easily used by the old lady.It's not that I'm reluctant, it's just that I don't know where to put my hands after repeated use.

Nanny Dai hurried back, just as the leading crutch stood beside the old lady, the eldest grandson Lu Quan strode into the hall, and before he could speak, he saw the old lady's urgent eyes flashing across his face, looking behind him The delicate and exquisite girl said, "Sister Zhen!" She stretched out her hand while calling out, and Lu Quan tactfully made way for Lu Zhen.

He had long been accustomed to the scene in front of him.The fifth younger sister studied with Pei Zhenren, and only went home two or three times a year.Although letters were exchanged continuously during this period, no one was seen after all.Grandmother panicked thinking about her sister.

Lu Zhen quickly stepped forward to hold the old lady's hand, knelt on the ground, and called softly, "Grandmother."

The young girl has picturesque eyebrows, bright eyes and white teeth, beautiful and delicate facial features, "I'm thin." The old lady Lu felt distressed, "I have pity on my sister Zhen who was tortured by the old way at such a young age..."

I don't know how many people in the world who want to be "studied" by Pei Dongzhai are not so blessed.Not to mention far away, there are two ready-made ones at home.One is the younger brother-in-law Lu Xuan, and the other is the father-in-law whom the mother-in-law dislikes so much.

Eh?Where is father-in-law?Lu's belatedly realized that her father-in-law hadn't been seen since she entered Yannian Hall.How dare he not show up when the old lady lived her [-]th birthday?

Lu took a deep breath.

This is enough of a good day!

He secretly raised his eyes to glance at the old lady, and saw that she didn't notice.Lu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and later quietly sent someone to find her father-in-law, at least to ask him to show up at the banquet.After making up her mind, she heard Lu Zhen ask, "Where did grandfather go?"

The old lady Lu went to see Nanny Dai with a blank face, "Are you still there just now? Did you go out to digest after eating?"

The old man is ignorant!It's rare for the child to come back. If he doesn't sit down and wait at home, what's the point of wandering around?
Nanny Dai's face trembled.Their old man reported to the old lady last night that he went out to collect dew for the old lady.He also said that eating dew can increase happiness and longevity.After sleeping all night, the old lady forgot?

In front of so many masters, Nanny Dai couldn't and didn't dare to remind her.If you don't remind, the old lady will be angry, but if you remind, the old lady will be even angrier.On balance, Nanny Dai felt that it was better to keep her mouth shut.

Mrs. Lu saw the clue from Nanny Dai's flickering eyes.Happy days cannot be disappointed.The muddled lawsuit between the mother-in-law and the father-in-law made them close the door slowly, so don't hurt Chi Yu.As one of the pond fish, her only wish is to happily eat a hearty meal.Mrs. Lu hurriedly stood up and smoothed things over with a smile, "Mother, Sister Zhen is tired and exhausted just after arriving home...

Halfway through the conversation, someone came from outside the door to report: "Mr. Zhu Shenji of the Shenji Division sent the old man back. The old man invited Miss Wu to go to the front yard."

Ever since Pei Dongzhai accepted Lu Zhen as his apprentice.From time to time, people from the Shenji Division came to the door to make friends, and the whole Lu family did not have a good impression of this group of sanctimonious Shenji envoys and Shenji students.Just deal with it out of politeness.As time goes by, they don't come much anymore.

Mrs. Lu's face sank like water.She was very upset, she didn't come sooner or later, she had to wait for her [-]th birthday?She can only live a full sixty years in this life!Can't it be smooth?

After a moment of silence, Mrs. Lu nodded to Mrs. Lu, "You take Sister Zhen there. If your father bumps into some magician..." Let him carry it alone.Don't use Zhenren Pei's name to find love for him.

Lu Shi immediately understood the unfinished meaning.

Not only she could understand, but Lu Zhen could understand too.

The grandmother was nothing more than saying harsh words and sulking because she was uncomfortable.But... after not going home for half a year, my grandmother seemed to dislike my grandfather even more.

……

Different from the previous dynasty, the God Machine Division is not the 28 God Machine Envoys who sit on an equal footing.Rather, there is a great master of the country above the magician, and there are magicians and magicians under the magician.After the former Great Master Gu Huaide was executed by all the families, one of the Great Masters has been suspended until now.

It was Zhu Yinghuai, a student of the divine machine, who sent Old Master Lu back.He is also the proud disciple of Zheng Kun, the envoy of magic.

"Wuming Mountain is not peaceful these two days. If Mrs. Lu wanted to relax, he would walk around the mountain in the city." Zhu Yinghuai bowed his hands to Lu Guan with a sullen face, "I hope Mr. Lu will give you more advice." He said east, he said west.Talk to him, he says east.It's basically a chicken talking to a duck.This journey made Zhu Yinghuai very tired.

Is there any advice?The old man of the other family raised flowers and birds, and his old man went up to the mountain for a stroll, can't he?The god machine driver is too wide.Lu Guan put up his official airs and smiled at Zhu Yinghuai, "I don't need Zhu Shenji to worry about my father's affairs."
