Little Red didn't know why the Second Madam was so eager to find out about Ye Kong's secret. Hearing her mention it, she listened carefully.
The Second Madam looked out the window, frowned, and said, "Actually, I'm doing this for Wen 'er and Wu' er's own good. Although they have the guidance of a famous teacher, their martial arts are still stagnant. Wen 'er is about to turn twenty, and Wu' er is about to turn eighteen. They're about to go to the battlefield to make a name for themselves. If they can get Ye Kong's method, my son Ye Wen, Ye Wu's martial arts will improve greatly. That will be beneficial to both you and me."
Little Red nodded. No wonder the Second Madam suddenly changed her attitude towards Ye Kong and his mother. The main reason was because of her son.
It was no wonder. Which mother didn't want their son to be well off? Moreover, in the Cang Nan continent, there was a concept of honor for mothers. If Ye Wen and Ye Wu were successful, then she would be promoted to be the official wife.
"Madam, don't worry. Little Red will do well and won't let you down," Little Red said immediately.
The Second Madam knew that if she wanted her subordinates to do things, she had to give them some benefits. She touched Little Red's shiny black hair and smiled, "Little Red, I know you're ambitious and want to climb up the tree to be a phoenix. That's why I haven't let you serve Master. I'm thinking that when we get back, I'll betroth you to my Ah Wu as a concubine. When he opens his own government, you'll become half a master. As long as you do this well, I promise you'll be satisfied. How about it?"
If it was in the past, Little Red would be very happy. Ye Wu had always been eyeing her. Although Ye Wu wasn't the best son-in-law in her heart, he was the Third Young Master. If she could marry the Third Young Master, she'd have climbed up the tree.
But now, Little Red didn't think so. Suddenly, the figure of a young man barged into her heart. She didn't know why, but suddenly, that guy had a bad temper and was as cunning as a ghost. But she couldn't let him go.
"What? You're not willing? "The Second Madam asked unhappily when she saw Little Red in a daze.
"Yes … I'm willing." Little Red didn't dare to refuse, but she was thinking, if Second Madam knew that the person she liked was Ye Kong, how would she react?
But that brat pretended to be stupid and didn't know how to flirt. What should she do?
Ye Kong didn't know that countless maidservants were thinking about him that night. Otherwise, he would have stuck an Invisibility Talisman on himself to sweep the surroundings.
He was still pondering over the array talisman. After pondering for most of the night, he felt that he had basically understood the talisman, so he began to set up the array.
Standing in the middle of the room, he formed a formation amulet and infused his spiritual energy into it … Heck, there was no reaction at all.
"How could this be? Isn't this how the Array Talisman should be used? "Ye Kong was a little puzzled. He tried twice more, but the Array Talisman still didn't move at all.
Ye Kong sat back in front of the table and suddenly thought, No wonder Fan Jiushe used the cage grass to trap me and not the array talisman. It turned out that the array talisman was broken and could not be used.
Unexpectedly, the talisman that he had studied for most of the night turned out to be a useless piece of trash. Ye Kong could only smile bitterly.
In fact, when he was studying it before, he found that there was an abnormal break in the line of this talisman. It seemed that the line was broken, causing spiritual energy to be unable to pass through, which made the array talisman unable to operate.
Ye Kong really needed an array to cultivate, but this array talisman was actually broken. This made him very angry and wanted to throw the array talisman into the storage bag, but he had another idea.
"Why don't I try to repair this array talisman? It's just a good time to test my skills. " If it was in the past, Ye Kong wouldn't have this confidence. But now it was different. He had the low-grade low-level spiritual grass juice.
Ye Kong did as he said. He took out a relatively short cage grass vine from the storage bag and used a small sword Dharma artifact to cut a few holes on the vine, allowing the white sticky grass juice to drip out. He then used a clean inkstone to collect it.
The broken line was very short. As long as there was a small amount of it, it would be enough to connect the line.
Ye Kong used the tip of the pen to absorb a bit of the juice. He held his breath and pointed at the broken point.
Although making talismans required a "Psychic Talisman Pen", which was the kind of pen that could channel spiritual energy, Ye Kong only needed to repair it a little. An ordinary pen should be able to replace it.
With a touch of the pen, the broken point was connected, but it didn't have any effect. The juice that fell on the talisman paper was not compatible with the talisman paper. The moment he moved his hand, the juice rolled away like a small dew.
"How can this be? Could it be that the low-grade low-level spiritual grass juice isn't extracted like this? "
Ye Kong's thoughts were not wrong. The liquid used to make talismans was not something that could be used just by taking a few drops from the spirit grass. The correct method was to use the spiritual fire within the cultivator's body to burn the spirit grass into liquid. This was also called refining.
But Ye Kong didn't know that. Besides, he wasn't proficient in controlling the fire attribute, so he couldn't release the flame steadily and continuously.
However, Ye Kong was a little clever. He quickly realized that the juice wasn't thick enough. If he could concentrate it, it might work.
Then he spent some time to collect a lot of white glue juice in a small bowl and put it on the table, letting the water evaporate naturally.
After everything was done, he felt a little sleepy. Cultivators in the early stage would also feel sleepy. If you didn't meditate or sleep, you would become more and more sleepy.
Meditating and sleeping could both relieve one's fatigue, but there were differences. Meditating could absorb spiritual energy, but sleeping couldn't. It was fine even if one was beaten up while sleeping, but if one was slapped while meditating, one would vomit blood.
Since he had just arrived at a new place, Ye Kong didn't dare to meditate. It was better to sleep. He rolled up his clothes and went to bed.
The young girls woke up early in the morning to go to the bathroom. After that, they dressed up in front of the mirror and went to see the handsome Ye Kong.
Today, Chen Jiuniang was really busy. Of course, she wasn't doing embroidery. After moving to the backyard, no one dared to ask her to do any work. She was busy dealing with the young girls.
Although the two rejected maids helped Ye Kong to advertise last night, it still couldn't dispel the enthusiasm of the maids.
The maids in the mansion had a lot of ideas. Who didn't want to climb the ladder? Even if it was impossible to be taken in as a concubine, it was also an honor to follow a famous young master like Ye Kong.
Those who thought they were beautiful had dressed up early and found an excuse to come to this courtyard. As for the excuse, it was too simple. They came to learn embroidery and become Chen Jiuniang's disciple. They wanted to build a relationship first.
Chen Jiuniang was also very happy. The room was filled with birds chirping and chirping. Not to mention the men, even Chen Jiuniang, as a woman, felt comfortable.
"Aunt, this is the embroidery I embroidered last time. Please give me some advice and criticize me. I will accept it humbly."
"Aunt, your embroidery is really amazing. Hehe, the mandarin duck seems to be alive."
"It's not the mandarin duck that is alive. It's your mind that is alive, right? Haha … "
"You're a spring girl. You're going to die. Watch me pinch you …"
Chen Jiuniang looked at the group of maids laughing and joking. She was also very happy. It had been a long time since it was so lively.
Of course, she knew what the maids were thinking. Although the position of her goddaughter, Xiaoqin, had been set in her heart, a man should have three wives and four concubines and many children, right?
"You should embroider like this. En, it will be better if the needle goes up from the bottom …" Chen Jiuniang instructed while looking at the maids.
This one was not bad. He was handsome, but his butt was small. That one was also not bad. He looked like he was going to give birth to a son, but he was old. The one here was about the same age as Kong 'er. She had a good figure and face, but her temper was too bad …
Chen Jiuniang was picking flowers among flowers. She was dazzled. She didn't even notice that Lu Qin had come.
Lu Qin went to their original residence today. When she saw that there was no one around, she asked around and found out that they had moved to the inner courtyard.
So the little girl went to the backyard. But the backyard wasn't a place that could be entered casually. Not only men, but women also couldn't enter easily. They had to be notified. If they wanted to be notified quickly, they had to give a reward. It wasn't much, just eight or ten copper coins were enough.
Although the servants who guarded the courtyard knew that Ye Kong was powerful, this was their rule. Besides, it wasn't the Eighth Young Master who came personally. Who knew who was looking for him?
Giving a reward was the rule, but it wasn't convenient for the servants to say it out loud. How could Lu Qin think of this? She heard that she went to notify the Eighth Young Master, but the two servants were like old dogs guarding the house — their mouths moved, but their bodies didn't move.
"You two, please help me to notify the Eighth Young Master." Lu Qin's legs were sore after standing for a while.
"Little girl, can't you see that we're busy? We'll go after we're done." That fellow was sitting at the door, busy counting ants.
"Big brothers, I don't see that you're busy." The little girl didn't understand these things and spoke the truth.
The younger one was unhappy. "Little girl, how do you know that I'm not busy? Can I tell you what I'm busy with? To tell you the truth, I'm waiting for an important person here. If something goes wrong when I'm notifying you, will you take responsibility? "
This excuse was so good that Lu Qin was speechless. An old servant at the side reminded her again. "That's right. It's not easy for us to guard the door. Miss, if we're not careful, we'll be punished. If something goes wrong because of you, our money will be deducted."
The two servants looked sad and painful. Even if you know that they're extorting you, you can't do anything about it. They're also very pitiful, aren't they?
Lu Qin understood what they meant. The little girl was no longer a poor person. She quickly took out a piece of silver and handed it over.
"Big brothers, you've worked hard."
The two servants' eyes lit up when they saw it. Wow, they're rich. Two taels of silver just to notify the Eighth Young Master. Their faces immediately bloomed with smiles. "Little girl, please accept it."
But at this moment, a woman's clear rebuke came from behind, "Do you know who she is? Aren't you afraid that someone will break your legs if you accept her money! "
The two servants' fingers trembled. They turned around and saw that the Second Madam's most favored maid, Little Red, was standing behind them. The Second Madam was the current ruler of the Ye Mansion. Little Red was someone they couldn't afford to offend.
Lu Qin was a little surprised. This girl was two years older than her. She was quite pretty, but she didn't know her. And from her tone … Am I very famous?
"So it's Sister Little Red. She is …?" Although Little Red was only sixteen years old, she was the most popular maid. Housekeeper Ye Cai didn't dare to offend her. The servants naturally called her Sister.
"She's the Eighth Young Master's sworn sister! You extorted money from his sworn sister. You … Think about Sister Ma! "
The two servants trembled in fear. Sister Ma was beaten unconscious and chased out of the mansion. It wasn't a good deal to anger that violent maniac for two taels of silver.
"Miss, don't be so polite. This is just a small matter. You don't need to be so generous. We'll accept anyone's money but not yours." The old servant stretched out his hand and quickly withdrew it.
Lu Qin sympathized with them. She still handed over the silver and said, "It's okay. Take it. You're such a big shot. How can I just stand by and watch you get punished for me?"
Little Red obviously knew that they were playing tricks. She pulled Lu Qin over and smiled. "Little girl, they're just bragging. Quickly keep the silver. Big sister will bring you in."
"Oh." Lu Qin had a good impression of this affectionate sister. She asked as they walked, "Big sister, what's your name? How come I don't seem to know you?"
Little Red had been ordered by the Second Madam to pay attention to Ye Kong. Naturally, she knew the relationship between Lu Qin and Ye Kong. That was why she was especially affectionate.
"My name is Little Red. Miss Lu, if you don't mind that I'm a servant, you can call me Sister Little Red. I often hear Concubine Chen talk about you …" Little Red was especially enthusiastic. Lu Qin also had a good impression of her. When the two of them walked to Ye Kong's courtyard, they were as familiar as if they had been best friends for decades.
