The Cui family's breakfast is no different from that of ordinary people. At most, the food is a little more refined, and the food is still the same. Two light side dishes and a bowl of rehmannia porridge are the daily breakfast of the Cui family's mistress.
"Is it still to your liking?" Dongfang Mubai said with a smile, looking at the somewhat reserved Li Taiping.
For Li Taiping, who had been hungry for several days, this meal was really not what he wanted. It was too much! However, in front of the tigress, he did not dare to say bad things, but used facts to prove that this meal was very appetizing.
I saw Li Taiping nodding and busily eating food in his mouth. In a blink of an eye, he had a bowl of rehmannia porridge in his stomach, and the maids waiting nearby all laughed.
"What kind of friend has my young master made? He is so vulgar in front of his wife. He is really careless in making friends!" Although the maid thought so, she still filled another bowl of porridge for Li Taiping.
Dongfang Mubai just took a small symbolic bite and smiled as the two young men swept away the food on the table.
"Ming Dao rarely brings friends home, and even fewer bring them to me! That's why I let you see the sword and teach you the sword's will. As for you, you don't need to thank me. I also hid my selfish intentions. I don't want to
My sword spirit has been lost!"
Dongfang Mubai has a beautiful smile. She is definitely a beautiful woman rarely seen in this world.
Preaching and imparting knowledge is a great favor. Although Dongfang Mubai said it very casually, Li Taiping did not dare to be negligent at all. He stood up and was about to salute, but when Dongfang Mubai waved his hand, Li Taiping could not kneel down.
Went down.
"I, Dongfang Mubai, don't pay attention to these secular etiquette. If I don't like you, I won't teach you the sword power even if you kowtow a hundred times! However, although you don't need to repay your kindness, there is one thing you must keep in mind.
, if one day you dare to do something wrong, don’t blame me for recovering everything you have learned for your master!”
Although Dongfang Mubai was smiling, looking at Li Taiping's eyes, he couldn't help but shudder, thinking, "This woman is so cruel! If one day I really make a mistake in my business, this woman will really know how to make a profit together with my capital."
Take them all back together!”.
"Don't worry, Auntie, Taiping will never give Auntie a chance to take action in this life!" Li Taiping respectfully saluted with clasped fists.
This time Dongfang Mubai did not stop him, but looked at the young man in front of him with a smile. He really liked the phrase "aunt". If Li Taiping called her senior or madam, although it was respectful enough, it would seem that there was a little less affection in it. This sentence
The aunt was different. She was respectful and kind, which immediately brought the relationship between the two closer.
Dongfang Mubai laughed and scolded: "Your shameless cleverness is comparable to Ming Dao's. No wonder you two will become brothers!"
"Mom! How can you say that your son is shameless!" Cui Mingdao complained.
Dongfang Mubai ignored Cui Mingdao, but asked the maid to go to the back room to take out something.
The red sandalwood sword box of the Nanhai Jianzong has several noble and elegant orchids carved on the front and back, and an unsheathed long sword is carved on the side, symbolizing the holiness and majesty of the Nanhai Jianzong.
The sword box is made of rosewood and is so exquisite. It can no longer be called a sword box. It can be regarded as a work of art. As for the sword box itself, if it were put on the market, it would not be sold for thousands of taels of silver.
.
Seeing this sword box, Li Taiping was secretly speechless. The Cui family was indeed the richest in the world, and a sword box was so luxurious.
Dongfang Mubai gently stroked the sword box, and his jade fingers slid over the patterns, as if the past was engraved in the patterns, and a trace of unexplainable emotion flashed in Dongfang Mubai's eyes...
"Do you like it? If you like it, I'll give it to you!"
When Cui Mingdao saw the sword box and heard his mother's words, he couldn't help but said: "Mother..."
Dongfang Mubai waved his hand, and Cui Mingdao stopped talking.
The red sandalwood sword box was already precious. Seeing Dongfang Mubai and Cui Mingdao look like each other, how could Li Taiping not know that this sword box must be very important to Dongfang Mubai?
Taiping, the sword box, cannot be asked for. My master often told me that a gentleman does not take what others like! Although Taiping does not dare to call himself a gentleman, he will do the things of a gentleman."
Dongfang Mubai smiled slightly, put the sword box into Li Taiping's hand, and said at the same time: "This is the sword box of the Nanhai Sword Sect, which has been with me for most of my life! I planned to give it to Ming Dao, but this guy is not a swordsman.
I just put it away! But I don’t want to let it gather dust in the corner. It just so happens that I picked up a nephew today and learned my sword intention, so giving it this sword box is just the right thing."
Li Taiping was about to refuse, but Dongfang Mubai, who had been smiling just now, suddenly looked at her with a cold face: "Why, you don't like her?"
Li Taiping suddenly remembered this woman's out-of-the-box temperament, and quickly bowed and saluted: "Taiping, thank you auntie."
Seeing Li Taiping accept the sword box, Dongfang Mubai suddenly smiled sweetly and said: "That's right, what a decent man and mother-in-law!"
Li Taiping stood the sword case in front of him, pressed the handle of the sword case lightly, and saw that the door panels on both sides with the long sword carved on it opened smoothly.
"this……"
Looking at the three swords inserted in the sword box, Li Taiping looked at Dongfang Mubai in confusion.
Dongfang Mubai smiled and said: "There is no reason to give away an empty sword box. It happened that there were some weapons in Cui's treasure house. I had nothing to do the past two days so I went shopping and took out these three swords.
.”
Li Taiping quickly waved his hand and said, "Auntie, you can't do this. Taiping deserves it!"
"Ming Dao said that your Taiping Dao focuses on raising swords. Your two swords can't be unsheathed easily. But as a swordsman, you can't always have two empty hands and attack others like that common man in the market! If things go on like this, the swordsman's
Won't you lose everything by being elegant and unrestrained! Take it, it's not a magic weapon, it's just three long swords for chopping wood! Besides, how can you call me aunt in vain! Just treat it as an aunt.
It’s your meeting gift.”
Dongfang Mubai looked at Li Taiping very kindly and said.
Having just put away the sword case, Li Taiping did not dare to shirk too much, so he could only bow again.
The Sanchai Sword was three feet and seven inches long. It had no complicated sword patterns and looked very ordinary. But as soon as he got started with it, Li Taiping knew that although this sword was not a peerless sword and was not as good as his own two, it was still good.
A sword that can cut iron like clay. The most important thing is that these three swords are exactly the same, no matter the weight or length, they are exactly the same.
Li Taiping looked at Dongfang Mubai gratefully. It was obvious that this moody woman was a thoughtful person. She must have understood his situation in detail and knew what kind of sword he needed for his Lishou Sword.
Li Taiping wanted to salute, but Dongfang Mubai waved his hand and said, "I'm not annoyed! Get out of here while I'm in a good mood, or you can recover the water I spilled!"
On the bamboo forest path, Cui Mingdao looked at Li Taiping's happy look from time to time, and said with jealousy: "I have never seen my mother so easy to talk to and so generous in my life! You kid is really lucky! -
—Bah! You said it wrong, you said it wrong!"
Cui Mingdao, who said the wrong thing, hurriedly turned around and glanced in the direction of Zhulin Xiaozhu. His heart dropped when he didn't see Dao dressed in white.
Li Taiping felt that everything just happened was like a dream. Not only did he have an aunt who was more than a master, he also got a valuable sword box and three handy weapons. Li Taiping couldn't help but think of the stingy old Taoist priest.
Looking like this, I thought to myself, "There is no harm without comparison. Compared with my new aunt, old Taoist priest, you are worlds apart. When I see you in the future, I will definitely treat you with a few words!".
In the small house in the bamboo forest, the maid sat next to Dongfang Mubai and said with great reluctance: "Madam, I gave you away the Sancai Sword, but the sword box is your most beloved thing!"
I saw Dongfang Mubai lightly knocking the maid on the forehead and scolding with a smile: "Silly girl, I can't bear the child but can't trap the wolf, can't bear the wife but can't seduce the pervert! There is no good thing in this world for no reason, and if you don't give up, you won't get it. If I
Otherwise, how can that kid focus on our family and the bright way!"
The little maid was confused by the madam's words and couldn't help but ask: "Why do you want that silly boy to face our house?"
"Taiping Dao is a single lineage. Not many people know about it. Fortunately, Madam, I know about it. Taiping Dao is also a branch of the Taoist sect, and every sect leader can reach above the master in cultivation, and that boy has learned from me.
Sword Intent, it is uncertain whether he will become a saint in the future! At the very least, he is more than a grandmaster, so it will not be a problem to protect our Cui family for hundreds of years."
The little maid wondered: "Young Master is also very talented in martial arts! Besides, he has a wife. Everyone in the family says that as long as the wife is here, no one in the world would dare to bully Mr. Cui."
Dongfang Mubai looked out the window with melancholy eyes and said: "Unless Mingdao's talent for painting can be matched with his talent for martial arts, he can only be a master at best! And I can't bear that my husband will go on the road alone without anyone to accompany him, so I have to give it to Cui in advance.
Find a backer, and one who treats Mingdao as a brother!"
After speaking, Dongfang Mubai stood up and left the bamboo forest building, leaving the little maid behind who was confused.
I saw the little maid looking at Madam's back, wondering in her heart, "My master has never been far away. I wonder where he is going? I have to ask him when I have time."
Li Taiping settled down in Cui's house, but his life was miserable because every day Dongfang Mubai would come to him and ask him to see the sword.
As long as Li Taiping looked at Dongfang Mubai's sword, he would have to lie in bed for half a day, and every time Dongfang Mubai would do it just right, no more, no less than half a day.
This woman's temperament is really hard to fathom. Ever since she gave him the sword box and Sancai sword, Li Taiping has never seen Dongfang Mubai smile. It's as if this new aunt has changed. She always has a cold face and doesn't say anything.
The way he drew his sword seemed like it would really kill him.
Dongfang Mubai had to go through Taiping Dao's sword power, sword skills, and newly learned sword intentions one by one. Every time, Li Taiping had to use up all his cards and was exhausted.
Li Taiping missed the old Taoist priest a little, because he knew that although the old Taoist priest was very cruel when practicing swordsmanship with him, he would definitely not kill him, but this was different for his new aunt. He was afraid that her aunt would get excited and accidentally hit him.
Just kill him.
The Cui family in Guangling, both servants and clan members, would go to the martial arts arena every day to watch the show. To watch the beautiful lady teach a silly boy, so the martial arts arena has recently become the busiest and most worthwhile place for the Cui family...
