Chapter 119 Self-knowledge
At dinner, everyone gathered together to taste the dishes prepared by Shen Xuyao.
Looking at the dishes on the table, brothers and sisters Xiao Ran and Xiao Fangfang didn't really want to eat them at first, because they saw that Shen Xuyao actually put some unknown herbs into the dishes while cooking. Therefore, they thought this dish should be bitter and did not dare to eat it.
But seeing how delicious their cousin Feng Hua's food was, the two brothers and sisters felt that it might not be so bitter, so they just picked up chopsticks to pick up the food. I was immediately amazed when I ate it. No wonder my cousin said that Shen Xuyao's cooking skills are better than those of the chefs in the restaurant. It seems that this is not an exaggeration. This Shen Xuyao's craftsmanship is indeed extraordinary!
Seeing the three young masters and young ladies enjoying their meals and being very satisfied with their craftsmanship, Shen Xuyao smiled, and immediately brought food to his wife, worried that they would grab all the food in a while, and the daughter-in-law would have nothing to eat.
After dinner, Murong Jin made a pot of hot tea and entertained Feng Hua and the others.
"Oh, not only is Taoist Shen's cooking skills good, but Taoist Murong's tea skills are also top-notch!"
Hearing this, Murong Jin smiled modestly. "Fellow Daoist Feng, thank you for the award." In fact, it was the credit of Lingshui. The water in their water tank was blended with Lingshui, half of it was Lingshui.
"Fellow Taoist Murong is too humble." As he said this, Feng Hua took a cup of tea and started drinking.
After taking a sip of tea from the bowl, Xiao Ran looked at Shen Xuyao. "Fellow Daoist Shen, your medical skills are superb, and your medicine skills are also excellent. If you stay in this small Fengkou Town, won't you be a little bit buried?"
Shen Xuyao's medical skills are very good, and Shen Xuyao's pharmacy skills are also very good. Unpopular potions such as Tianming Potion and Sea Blue Potion may not be able to be refined by a pharmacist of level 4 or level 5, but Shen Xuyao is The success rate is very high, it can be seen that this person has a very high talent in medicine. In the future, he will definitely be able to become a pharmacist of level 4, level 5 or even higher. Such talents are very worthy of attracting attention.
"Yes, Fellow Daoist Shen. You saved my brother and I this time. If you want to go to Pingcheng, my brother and I will definitely help you arrange a guest position in the city lord's palace in Pingcheng." Nodding, Xiao Fangfang said the same.
"Fellow Daoist Shen, there is something you don't know. My grandfather is the lord of Pingcheng, and my cousin and cousin are both young masters and misses of the lord's mansion. If you go to Pingcheng, they will definitely help you." Put down the teacup in your hand , Feng Hua also immediately joined the ranks of persuasion.
Looking at the three of them, Shen Xuyao smiled. "Thank you two fellow Daoists Xiao for taking a fancy to me. A big first-tier city like Pingcheng is indeed a good place. However, I am not suitable for going to that kind of place."
"Hey, Fellow Daoist Shen, you are too modest."
Hearing this, Shen Xuyao shook his head. "No, this is not modesty, this is the truth. People should be self-aware. They should know their own level and abilities. Pingcheng is a first-tier city, the city lord is a seventh-level soul pet master, and most of the elders and guest ministers are also sixth-level. Soul pet master, a fifth-level soul pet master is probably just a guard captain in the city lord's mansion. A fourth-level soul pet master is also a guard. And I am only a third-level soul pet master. No matter how good the potion skills are, You can only refine third-level potions, so it’s hard to reach the level of elegance.”
"this……"
Seeing Shen Xuyao who analyzed so clearly and spoke so directly, Feng Hua twitched the corners of his mouth, but didn't know what to say.
After staring at Shen Xuyao, Xiao Ran couldn't help but raise his thumb. "Young Daoist Shen is really alive and well! I really admire you!"
"No, our pharmacists all cost as much as 2,500,000 to 80,000 yuan each. The fourth-level pharmacists wish they could be the sixth-level pharmacists. The fifth-level pharmacists wish they could be the seventh-level pharmacists." Spectrum. This is the first time I have seen a pharmacist as humble and sober as Daoyou Shen!" I have to say that Xiao Fangfang also admired Shen Xuyao's words.
There are few pharmacists in the Card Master Continent, so many pharmacists are very arrogant, and many pharmacists are even more powerful than grandpa, the city lord. However, in order to win over these pharmacists, grandpa even had to give them a bit of face, various cultivation resources, spirit stones, and even women were often given to them. However, Shen Xuyao is an exception, a pharmacist who is completely different from other pharmacists.
"No matter what, I am very grateful to the two fellow daoist Xiao for their invitation. How about it, wait until I become a fifth-level pharmacist. If the two fellow daoists are still willing to invite me by then, I can go to Pingcheng. Go and have a look The scenery of a big first-tier city.”
Hearing this, Xiao Ran nodded. "It's a deal, I'm waiting for Fellow Daoist Shen in Pingcheng."
"Okay!" Nodding, Shen Xuyao agreed with a smile.
"Fellow Daoist Shen, what's going on with you and the four brothers and sisters of the Zhang family?"
Hearing this, Shen Xuyao looked at Xiao Fangfang who was asking him, and couldn't help but frown. "The Fifth Young Master Zhang and the Sixth Young Master Zhang Liu plotted against my wife and said they wanted to invite us to dinner. I didn't agree, so the Eighth Young Master said I didn't know how to show appreciation." At this point, Shen Xuyao looked contemptuous.
Hearing this, Xiao Ran also looked contemptuous. "The Zhang brothers are all lustful, and they are indeed not a good thing."
"That's right, the Zhang family, there are no good people. Do you know Fengsha Town? Do you know Zhang Yue, the second young master of the town lord's mansion in Fengsha Town? That guy was also a pervert, but he was killed by a brothel girl. There are five of him. My younger brother also died at the hands of a woman, and that Lu Feifei has not been found yet! So, the Zhang family is all the same. There is nothing good." At the end, Xiao Fangfang also had a face of horror.
"Yes, yes, my cousin is right, there are no good people in the Zhang family." Nodding, Feng Hua agreed.
"Three fellow Taoists, what is the soul pet of Zhang Yingying, the seventh lady of the Zhang family?"
Hearing Shen Xuyao's question, Xiao Fangfang smiled. "I know, it's a cat called Zhibao Cat."
"Recognizing treasure cat?" It turned out to be this one, no wonder, she wanted to buy her own jade pendant.
"Zhang Yingying is actually the concubine of Town Master Zhang. However, Zhang Yingying's mother's soul pet is also a treasure-knowing cat. It can recognize all the treasures in the world and helped Town Master Zhang find many good things. Therefore, she is very favored. From a common maid , rose through the ranks and became the concubine of Lord Zhang. She is the most favored in the Lord's mansion." At this point, Xiao Ran narrowed his eyes and glanced at the jade pendant on Shen Xuyao's body.
Looking at the jade pendant on Shen Xuyao, Feng Hua asked, "Xu Yao, is your jade pendant very powerful?"
Hearing this, Shen Xuyao shook his head. "I don't know, I only know that this was passed down from my ancestors. It was used by my mother to marry my wife. Now that I have married a wife, I gave a jade pendant to my partner. Our Shen family has always been one husband and one wife. Wife, my mother said that if my partner and I both wear this jade pendant, we can be in love for a lifetime and never be separated."
Hearing this, Murong pursed his lips. He said in his heart: Xu Yao can really deceive people!
Hearing this, Feng Hua was stunned. "Is it monogamous? So, you can only marry one wife?"
"Is there any problem with this?" Shen Xuyao asked with raised eyebrows.
Xiao Fangfang was startled when she heard Shen Xuyao's inquiry. "However, the pharmacists in our family have many wives and concubines."
Looking at Xiao Fangfang who looked uncertain and a little confused. Shen Xuyao chuckled. "I am a self-aware person. I don't think that all the women and twins in the entire Card Master Continent will like me. In fact, it is very, very difficult for a person to find someone who you like and who also likes you. But, thankfully, I found it." At this point, Shen Xuyao looked at Murong Jin who was sitting next to him.
Their eyes met, and Murong Jin was caught off guard by his lover's gentle gaze. Dazed for a moment, Murong Jin shyly looked away.
Looking at the red ears of his lover, Shen Xuyao smiled. He took the initiative to hold the other person's hand. "My ideal love is to hold my son's hand and grow old together with my son. It's a couple for a lifetime. It's not comparing with other pharmacists and taking concubines."
Hearing his lover's words, Murong Jin felt sweet in his heart. He raised his head and glanced at the person next to him, and happened to see his lover's gentle smile.
Looking at the two people sitting together, one resolute and handsome, the other extremely handsome, they are very suitable, Xiao Ran smiled. "Fellow Daoist Shen, you do have your own ideas."
"Yes, the pharmacists in our family all have the same concubines. The fifth-level pharmacist named Bai has more than 60 concubines. There is also a fourth-level pharmacist who also has more than 30 concubines. ." At this point, Feng Hua couldn't help but curl his lips.
"It's too hard to think about. What's the point of marrying so many people? How can so many women love one man deeply at the same time? It's just for profit. The couple is lying on the same bed, but they share different dreams and have their own thoughts. So, what's the point of living together? Moreover, if you have too many wives and concubines, your children will be affected in the future, and there will be many cases of fratricide, which will do more harm than good." Shaking his head, Shen Xuyao disagreed with this kind of monogamy. Polygamy, he is a modern man, and he still advocates monogamy.
Hearing this, Xiao Ran nodded repeatedly. "Fellow Daoist Shen's words are very insightful!"
"Yeah, I also think that all of grandpa's concubines don't like grandpa. Only grandma is sincere to grandpa." As a woman, Xiao Fangfang quite agreed with this.
"Stay with someone who obviously doesn't like you all day, but pretends to like you very much. Isn't it a kind of torture?"
"Torture? Yes, Fellow Daoist Shen is very transparent and can see clearly. It's ridiculous. Some high-ranking city lords, town lords, and even high-level pharmacists are still torturing themselves?" At this point, Xiao Ran He sneered.
In fact, both grandpa and father have a lot of women, and they enjoy the blessings of being together, but isn't it the children like them who are the ones who suffer the most harm? Fortunately, Grandpa at least did not spoil his concubines and kill his wives. Many uncles and uncles who were born as concubines were driven to other towns to become town leaders when they reached adulthood.
The father can't do it. The father is lustful and doesn't have much respect for the mother. Therefore, those concubines and their concubines' evil sons were also restless, and tried to harm him and his sister by changing the law. To put it bluntly, isn't this the fault of my father? If the father had only one wife, the mother, and the backyard was clean, then how could he and his sister be poisoned?
"Well, Fellow Daoist Shen is absolutely right. I will also marry a daughter-in-law in the future, otherwise, my children will be killed by others." Feng Hua was born in a big family and suffered deeply from it, so he naturally understands these truths.
