Chapter 25 Daily Life of the Zhao Family (Part 1)

 Shuihengyuan

This is the three-entrance courtyard where Zhao Yueer lives. Why the courtyard is named "Shuiheng" is no longer verified? I don't know which senior scholar of Zhao's family named it. This name is very popular with the wife. It is said that it is because of the word "Shui". Therefore, this place became Zhao Yueer's residence.

When Yang Zhen woke up, it was still dark outside the window. It was autumn rain last night, and the courtyard was wet, and the air was filled with the fragrance of rain after washing.

He held a candlestick in his hand, walked all the way through the corridor, and after passing through two corridors, he arrived at the innermost room.

The door of the west wing was closed. After a few knocks, a girl's voice came from inside: "Hey, I understand."

After a rustling sound, the door opened soon and a girl in a green gauze dress walked out.

"Little Shitou, you got up so early!" The girl greeted with a smile.

"Sister Caiyun is early, go and call the lady, I'm back."

"Okay. I'm going to be scolded by the lady again." The girl covered her mouth lightly, feeling helpless.

...

It has been a month since Yang Zhen came to Zhao's Mansion.

After handing over the exercises to the nanny that day, the nanny quickly prepared a new recipe list for him. Then, he received the spirit stones from Caiyan in batches.

With the spirit stones, he quickly became a regular customer in the market, especially the meat shops that sell various monsters and blood. He would buy them every ten days. Although he didn't buy much each time, because he was young, he easily left an impression on the stall owners.

According to the requirements of the body-building technique, after eating monster meat, you need to run gymnastics twice, one on the night after eating full food, and the other on the early morning of the next day.

Since then, Yang Zhen has developed a habit of getting up early every day.

He gets up every day at Mao hour (5 a.m.), jogs all the way from Shuihengyuan to the back mountainside, finds a flat ground, then practices gymnastics, performs the first seven poses from beginning to end, and then goes down the mountain to start your day's life.

His habit was soon discovered by his wife. Since that conversation with the nanny, the wife has changed her previous spoiling for Zhao Yue'er and has started to let her learn to suffer, without fear of falling and being injured. So, this poor little girl was forced by her mother and had to get up with Yang Zhen at the same time every day and exercise together.

Yue'er was very dissatisfied, but could her little arm twist her thighs? Naturally, she obediently obeyed.

In this way, every morning, Yang Zhen would wake up Caiyun first, and then Caiyun would wake up Zhao Yue'er.

The inner room soon came from the little girl who couldn't afford to get married and was angry at her coquettishness, and Caiyun's gentle tone of persuasion and scare. Yang Zhen sounded funny and did not stop here to watch the fun. He returned the same way and shouted Cai Si who lived next door.

Cai Si is nominally Zhao Yue'er's maid, and is under Cai Yun's management, but now she is all about serving Yang Zhen. When she gets up, she has to boil water for Yang Zhen. Every time she finishes practicing that gymnastics, Yang Zhen will sweat and smell a little. She will naturally have to take a bath after she comes back.

Not long after, a little girl wearing a white silk dress and still yawning and rubbing her eyes walked out of the yard. When she saw Yang Zhen, she also greeted her weakly:

"Brother Stone, it's so early!"

This little girl is naturally Zhao Yueer. Since Yang Zhen became her companion, the two have fought many times in the martial arts field, and Yang Zhen has never won. So now she calls her younger brother Yang Zhen, and Yang Zhen can only bear it honestly. She is not as good as others, so she will not have those verbal disputes. Only by winning the fight in the future can this place be regained.

Yang Zhen smiled and pointed to the mountain in the distance and said, "It's still the same as before, let's see who will arrive first."

"Okay!" When talking about the game, Yue'er was no longer sleepy and hurriedly came to Yang Zhen, looking ready to go.

With Yang Zhen's order, the two rushed out together.

"It rained last night, be careful of the slippery road..." Caiyun shouted from afar behind her.

...

Zhao Yue'er's pace in the martial arts field was treacherous and changeable, but this kind of mountain road race was not useful. Yang Zhen quickly left her behind and was the first to reach the finish line.

After a while, Zhao Yue'er also arrived and was a little unhappy when she couldn't get ahead. As agreed, since she lost, she could not call her brother Yang Zhen this day.

Yang Zhen ignored her and started doing gymnastics on her own.

He has been practicing the three additional moves in the second stage these days very skillfully. At this time, he was following the steps and starting from the first move. Zhao Yue'er practiced a new set of swordsmanship not far away. The two did not interfere with each other and focused on practicing. After a while, Caiyun also climbed up.

The operation of gymnastics focuses on the operation from slow to fast, and gradually the blood and spiritual power of monsters are circulated all over the body. After Yang Zhen performed the first move, the muscles and meridians of the whole body became slightly hot, which was the best state for the body to absorb the energy of the beast meat.

He immediately began to perform the second and third poses, and his speed gradually accelerated, and the seventh pose had doubled. He felt warm at the beginning, but then he became hotter and hotter. A hot current washed and moistened every muscle and joint in his body, with a hot and spicy tingling feeling. As the cycle of erosion was washed, the muscles and joints of his body seemed to be filled with these pervasive heat flows, and a large amount of energy flowed in his body. His face turned red, like a drunken man who had drunk too much, and his body felt a little uncomfortable.

"This is the feeding of the fire-type spirit beast has reached saturation, and this cycle can be over." He thought to himself.

The second stage was a total of three times, each time was five small cycles, each cycle was about ten days. According to the order of water, wood, fire, earth and metal, different cycles were eating monsters of different attributes. He was now conducting the cycle of fire monsters, and the ones eating the Fire Rock Rabbit mentioned earlier.

"As long as the Fire Rock Rabbit's ears do not have yellow earrings, it is not a soil-based variant, you can choose it with confidence." This was what the nanny told him after reading the classics. She didn't know this method of identification before.

According to his performance in practicing the exercise just now, he can no longer eat fire rock rabbits. It is time to find earth-type monsters as the main ingredients for the next cycle.

It's still early, so I can go to the market.

He cleaned up, said hello to Caiyun, and left first.

Zhao Yue'er saw it there and shouted angrily: "I want to go to Fangshi too!" She had already figured out the rules and knew that today should be the day when Yang Zhen went to Fangshi.

Yang Zhen ignored her.

This time is the time for the monk to practice. At this time, the nanny and his wife were practicing martial arts, and there was no one to accompany her. How could she let her go with her?

Yang Zhen returned to the room, and Caisi had already boiled the water. Yang Zhen quickly finished taking a shower and looked at the sky. It was not yet midnight. He called Caisi and took the spirit stones he received from Caiyan yesterday. The two of them walked towards the market together.

Fangshi is not far from Zhao Mansion, and the two of them travel through the manor for more than half of the time. When they arrived at Fangshi, they were already in the east and there were already many people in Fangshi.

The two of them first came to the herb shop in Zhao's family. The shop had just changed the shopkeeper not long ago. The new one heard some rumors from somewhere and was very respectful to Yang Zhen. Every time Yang Zhen came to the shop, he would receive him personally, which made him quite uncomfortable.

Fortunately, the shopkeeper was not here at this time, and the door of the store had just opened. After Yang Zhen went in, he said hello to the clerk and took three candied haws from him.

Those who sell candied haws usually come in the morning and go back in the evening. Yang Zhen and him did not coincide with each other, so they asked him to send the candied haws to the store and Yang Zhen came to pick them up the next day. This thing will not break even if it is left for a day or two.

Cai Simei smiled and took two candied haws, took out one and ate them. Just for the candied haws of silver coins, this girl always followed Yang Zhen to the market with all her heart.

Caisi walked in front, Yang Zhen followed behind, and when she was not paying attention, she stuffed the candied haws into her arms, and then... the candied haws disappeared.

Where did you go? Of course it is in the stone space.

This was the last time he and Caisi were shopping in the market. At that time, each person had a candied haw. Yang Zhen kept his own and prepared to bring it to Zhao Yueer.

But he thought it was inconvenient to hold it in his hand, so he wrapped it in paper and stuffed it into his pocket. He specially asked Caiyun to change this pocket, which was on the inside of the clothes and could not be seen from the outside.

Then the candied haws disappeared. At that time, he thought he had fallen on the way, so he searched back and forth with the colorful silk for a long time. After all, it was a silver coin! But he couldn't find it.

Until that night when he entered the stone space and saw the empty candy paper beside the grass and a slender bamboo stick, he naturally understood it.

He always thought that this stone would only absorb spirit stones, and other things needed to be brought in by himself. This was the first time he found that the stone could absorb other things independently.

This discovery surprised him and made him happy, which meant that he could store items more conveniently. Sure enough, as long as he put the thing not far from the stone and showed the intention of putting it in, the thing would automatically disappear and appear in the stone space.

As for whether he can take things out of the space during the day, he has not succeeded yet.

Another discovery of his is that Xiaocao does not only eat spirit stones and water. She likes many good things, such as candied haws, and spiritual liquid sold on the market, and a bucket of spiritual energy equivalent to a spirit stone. Yang Zhen once bought a small cup and secretly fed it to Xiaocao, and the little thing immediately expressed his satisfaction to him.

There are also spiritual wine, spiritual honey, elixirs... many good things.

...

The two of them were familiar with the road and soon arrived at the meat shop. The place was filled with a smell of smell. Yang Zhen left the colorful silk outside and went in to buy it himself.

"Sister Gu, how do you sell this mountain rat?"

"Every living spirit stone is given to you one piece of iron cage; if you only buy meat, you will be ten kilograms of spirit stone." A woman with big arms and round waist replied.

The flesh and blood of this monster beast usually has two sources. One is that some immortal cultivators raise it themselves and specialize in selling spirit stones. For example, this is how the Fire Rock Rabbit that Yang Zhen had just eaten came from.

There are also some alliances formed by casual cultivators. They often team up to go deep into the wilderness to hunt monsters. For example, the mountain-drilling rat is good at digging holes and is easy to escape if raised, so they usually get hunted in the wild. The meat of such monsters is naturally a little more expensive than that of domestic ones.

Mrs. Gu is a casual cultivator. When she encounters such a casual cultivator who uses her life to fight for resources, Yang Zhen usually doesn't bargain much. He quickly chose two, handed over two spirit stones, and walked out with two iron cages.

An adult mountain-drilling rat is about 20 kilograms, so of course it is more cost-effective to buy a living thing. This monster has all the skills in digging holes and has no other means of attack. Therefore, Yang Zhen is not afraid of any danger when he holds it in his hand.

In addition to the mountain rat, other five elements spirit beasts also need to be bought appropriately. Yang Zhen then came to the place where the giant fish was sold. This fish was the man-eating strange fish that Yang Zhen saw on the first day of his first visit to the world. It looked very fierce. In fact, it was just a half-level monster, and its five elements attribute was water.

"Six kilograms of fish, one drop of spirit per kilogram, a total of six drops of spirit." This fish is really cheap.

"Uncle, I only have silver coins here, so I'll give you six silver coins." Most of these fish come from the family's spiritual pond, so Yang Zhen naturally has to bargain well. If you can use silver coins, try not to use spirit stones.

"You little baby, this is like this every time. This time, I still want to be spiritual!" said the fish seller with a smile.

Yang Zhen knew that he was teasing him and was about to make some talk, but heard a sound behind him:

"Six Spirit Drops, I'll come out for this little friend."

ps: It feels good to write like this now.
