Myths and Dharma, starting from Erlang Shen

Chapter 180 Not today, but tomorrow
"Compared with the blessings given in previous years, this year's blessing seems more comfortable."

After receiving the blessing from the sweet rain, the Queen Mother felt inspired and spoke.

"Because this year I specially added the Yuchun Spring Water from Jiangnan, but this effect is also thanks to the spiritual power of my junior uncle. The purer the user's spiritual power of the Ganlin Curse, the better the effect." Zixu explained.

"So that's it. The real person is interested. A few months ago, Jiangnan sent a lot of Bimai Ling tea as tribute, and the two real people just happened to have one bag each." The Queen Mother said.

"Thank you, Queen Mother."

Two Taoists, Zixu and Ziqing, said in unison.

Bimai Ling tea can calm the mind and calm the mind, nourish the body and prolong life.

"Also, Mr. Ji, at your age, you don't need Bimai Lingtea. I wonder what kind of reward you want?" After the Queen Mother finished speaking, she looked at Ji Rendao again.

"Zixu and the others found the spring water. Pindao just used his spiritual power and didn't dare to take credit." Ji Ren said modestly.

Mainly because he really didn't do anything, and the Queen Mother couldn't give him what he wanted.

"So you want the Aijia to reward Mrs. Wei Yuanbo?" The Queen Mother glanced at Mrs. Qiao who was standing aside, and looked at Ji Ren with even more satisfaction.

When many noble ladies in the imperial capital were envious, jealous and hated Qiao Qingyu and couldn't catch up with her, they would add, what's the use of being so outstanding? In the end, they would still have to marry that good-for-nothing?

Hearing this, Ji Ren had a look of contemplation on his face. He immediately lowered his head and changed his address smoothly: "Both of my parents have died since I was young. I was born in Uncle Weiyuan. I have relied on my uncle and his wife to grow up to this day. Especially Aunt Qiao. , He did not despise me for being young and ignorant, but regarded him as his own child, and he never gave up on me and taught me earnestly.”

The current situation is quite different.

The most famous one is the story of Lu Ji’s concubine in the Twenty-Four Filial Piety.

Ji Ren's rise to prominence in the imperial capital has only happened in the past six months, but his reputation is well-known among the ladies of the imperial capital. After all, it is difficult for the good-for-nothing fiancé of Da Qi's most prodigy not to attract attention.

Seeing that Ji Ren did not want a reward, the Queen Mother was even more satisfied. There were too many people who wanted benefits in this world, including her closest relatives. But now that Ji Ren, an unwanted person, appeared, she felt even more sad. He was overjoyed and said: "Just now, Taoist Master Ji gave me a sermon, which was profound and profound. The use of the Sweet Rain Curse this time is even more extraordinary. How can we not reward him? Doesn't this make people feel that the rewards and punishments of the Ai family are unfair?"

Lu Ji once visited Yuan Shu's house as a guest. Before leaving, he dropped a few oranges from his arms. Yuan Shu immediately laughed at him. Then Lu Ji said seriously that his mother wanted to eat at home, so he took them back to his mother to eat. Suddenly, the public opinion changed, and from then on Lu Ji said that his mother wanted to eat some at home. The guest who did not know etiquette turned into a filial son, and became a legend, ranking among the twenty-four filial piety.

It is also one of the few stories in the Twenty-Four Filial Piety that can be learned.

So everyone is aware of Ji Ren's situation.

People are always like this. If someone puts forward an excessive condition to you, and it is for themselves, then they will probably criticize you and think you are selfish. But if it is made for others, then others will have a different attitude towards you. .

Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but look at Mrs. Qiao with envy, especially Lu Jinyun, who almost bit his teeth. They couldn't help but look at Mrs. Qiao with resentment, why is her life so good?
Can such trash become like this?
Mrs. Qiao herself also looked flattered. She looked at Ji Ren in disbelief. Speaking in good conscience, she said at first that she really treated him as her own child, even more so. After all, people always regard politeness as her own. Leaving it to strangers, and leaving the worst side to those closest to her, but as time went by, Ji Ren became more and more domineering. After all, she was not her biological mother, so she couldn't fight. Over time, Ji Ren became more and more domineering. The relationship became estranged, and later on, in fact, for Mrs. Qiao, it would be better if Ji Ren suddenly disappeared one day.

Now that Ji Renlai has done something like this, he can't help but feel a little ashamed when he is moved.

"Not bad." Ji Ren agreed immediately. Whether he has any credit or not depends entirely on what the Queen Mother thinks, and she asked him to mention it himself. To be honest, Ji Ren felt that the Queen Mother either couldn't afford it, or she didn't want to give it if she could afford it. In this case, it would be better to just give it to him. Give it to Mrs. Wei Yuanbo, and kick the ball back to the Queen Mother, so that the Queen Mother can think for herself.

"Well, you are worthy of being the most talented person in my family. Mrs. Qiao is also well-educated. She will be promoted to the second rank of Madam Gaoming from now on." The Queen Mother smiled slightly and agreed. To be honest, it is easier and more convenient to reward Mrs. Qiao than to reward Ji Ren. .

"Thank you, Queen Mother, for your kindness."

Mrs. Qiao was still in a daze. She was pushed by Qiao Qingyin before she came to her senses. Under the envious and jealous eyes of many people, she slowly walked out and bowed and thanked her.

"You deserve it. When the Ai family is in the palace, people often say that the future support of our Daqi women is your eldest daughter. You are worthy of being a woman, and you should be rewarded. What's more, you have taught Taoist Master Ji now." Such a talented person." The Queen Mother smiled.

"I don't dare, I just did my duty." Mrs. Qiao said politely.

The Queen Mother smiled slightly, praised her more, and then let Mrs. Qiao leave.

On the way back, Mrs. Qiao still felt a little light and airy, but it felt too real, as if she was stepping on the clouds. She looked at her previous position, then looked at Lu Jinyun, and said with a smile: "Before, my sister said that maybe this year This is the last time I'm ahead of my sister. My sister didn't believe it before, but she didn't expect that our Aren is so filial, and her words came true."

Hearing Mrs. Qiao's words, Lu Jinyun's face twitched slightly. She said this just now because Wei Yuanbo was gathering news about Gao Lan's appearance. No one knew about it. The unified statement to the outside world was that he had gone too far in cultivation, so she was mocking Mrs. Qiao. , he could only be a third-grade imperial concubine for the rest of his life. Who would have thought that he would be slapped in the face so soon. Before the three hours were up, the situation had changed. I just thought about Ji Ren’s expression just now and didn’t dare to really quarrel. He forced a smile and said, "Congratulations, sister."

"Same joy." Mrs. Qiao smiled from ear to ear, feeling unprecedentedly happy.

In the past, she was a head lower than Lu Jinyun in terms of imperial qualifications. Although she complained a lot about Uncle Wei Yuan, she actually knew in her heart that she would almost have a third-grade imperial decree in her life. After all, Uncle Wei Yuan's limit was here, unless he had some great achievements. , but great achievements come with great risks. Compared with her husband's risks, she hopes that her family will be reunited and live in peace and harmony. However, she can only complain about this to her husband.

But it's different now.

If this situation continues, Yipin's life will not be a dream.

Mrs. Qiao is relatively radiant, and Qiao Qingyin on the side has a subtle expression. Our Aren?
When did you scream so affectionately?

"Okay, today has been lively enough. Let's change our clothes and go to the banquet with the Ai family." The Queen Mother added after the commendation.

A group of ladies who were still wearing wet clothes immediately changed their clothes as if they had been granted amnesty, and then the Queen Mother led everyone to the banquet venue.

Emperor Qi stood up to greet him and started the real palace annual banquet.

Delicious imperial delicacies, magnificent dances, colorful fireworks...

It was very lively.

Ji Ren, who was participating for the first time, felt that his trip was worthwhile and he was thoroughly enjoyed it.

Only Zhuge Qinglan kept sensing the surroundings while enjoying the delicious food. As a result, the whole banquet ended and everything was as usual, as if nothing had happened.

Outside the palace, there are also people smiling. Since I have been discovered by Ji Ren, you, who have always been cautious, will naturally not be silent. How could I fall into a trap?
But you forgot that besides the palace, there was another place that Zhong Xiaoqiu would definitely go to. How could she not participate in the Cuju venue and the event organized by Ji Ren tomorrow?
