Madam Xin suddenly picked up the red rope around Lemongrass's neck, and the green jade piece was lifted out of the water.
The jade pieces are so bright, they seem to be the color dyed by the tenderest leaves in spring, so clear and green.
Lemongrass was pulled backwards by the string. She held her neck and was lifted out of the water by the stepmother, almost suffocating her.
The moment Lemongrass turned her head, her expression changed. Oops! She was careless and forgot that the Ascension Order was hanging around her neck. She would not be noticed if she wore clothes to cover it. But when I was taking a shower, my whole body was naked, but where did I hide it? !
Xiang Maozi looked at her stepmother with a pale face, her hair wet and sticking to her scalp, like a helpless puppy that had fallen into the water.
Madam Xin pinched the jade piece hard with her fingers and looked at it carefully, her expression filled with a sharp light.
Xiangmaozi was so frightened by her eyes that she pulled the rope hard, and the jade piece quickly slipped out of Madam Xin's hand and fell into Xiangmaozi's hand.
Lemongrass held the jade piece tightly, her lips closed, her expression was like a puppy guarding its food, full of vigilance and ferocity.
Madam Xin knew clearly that this thing must be the Immortal Order.
It turns out that it looks like this.
However, Madam Xin remained calm on the surface. She smiled arrogantly and ignorantly, "Hey, what kind of object is this that no one knows, and you can't touch it? I just pulled the red rope, and even used my eyes to pluck it. I."
Listening to the stepmother's non-angry teasing, Xiangmaozi's nervous and frightened mood suddenly calmed down a little: she didn't know, she didn't know anything.
Lemongrass didn't speak. She leaned back and stood up from the bucket. The bathtub was originally small, and when she fiddled with it, the water splashed onto the stepmother's hair.
The stepmother yelled, "Why are you acting like a monster if you don't take a bath honestly?!"
Lemongrass quickly climbed out of the tub and answered quickly, "I've finished washing."
The stepmother scolded her, "Wash your heels! How can you wash it clean if you wash it thoroughly? I thought you were a hero of the Xin family for saving Xin Mao, so I'll let you take a good bath." As a result, you won’t be promoted, you won’t take a good bath, and you’ll end up splashing water all over my head and face, you damn girl, let’s see if I don’t beat you to death!”
The stepmother rushed water to her face and cursed the lemongrass in a skillful manner.
After hearing the stepmother scold her like this, Xiangmaozi felt relieved. Yes, the Ascension Order did not include a name, so how could the stepmother recognize it? I'm not afraid even if I write my name, the stepmother can't read anyway.
Xiangmaozi got dressed quickly and ignored her stepmother's habitual scolding. She took a cloth and played with her hair in the yard.
Xin Wang and Xin Mao heard their stepmother scolding Citronella through the door. It was still the familiar voice and the same familiar words. The two looked at each other and suddenly grinned at each other.
After a while, the stepmother took a bath, and everyone started to clean up the house and get ready for bed. There is only one big bed in the small lower room. In the past two days, the whole family has been sleeping next to each other. Xiangmaozi is next to the window, then Xin Mao, then the stepmother, and at the end is her father Xin Lang.
Xin Mao really overworked himself today. As soon as he climbed into bed, he started snoring. After another long while, Xiangmaozi heard her father's snoring.
In the darkness, Xiangmaozi did not dare to close her eyes. She was worried that her stepmother would touch the Immortal Order while she was sleeping.
Xiangmaozi felt her stepmother turn over, and then she seemed to raise her hand.
Xiangmaozi nervously squeezed the jade piece tightly, but the stepmother just touched Xin Mao around to see if the quilt was tight, and finally groped to tuck the corner of the quilt for him, and then took her hand back.
That night, Xiang Maozi opened her eyes for a while, but she didn't sleep well at all.
Feeling groggy, it was almost dawn before Lemongrass fell asleep.
When she suddenly woke up from her sleep, there was no one around her. Xiangmaozi was shocked and immediately went to touch the Immortal Order. The red rope was still firmly around her neck. She turned around, took out the green Ascension Token and looked at it. Then she felt relieved and stuffed the Ascension Token into her collar again and put it away.
She got up and found that her stepmother had already laid out breakfast. When she saw her coming out, she sneered, "You have become the eldest lady now. What time did you get up?! Are you excited now that you are in town?" , let me serve you!"
After hearing this, Xiangmaozi was convinced. The stepmother definitely didn't know about the order to ascend to immortality. Otherwise, her attitude would be either extremely fierce and bad, or very flattering, and she would never be as normal and cold as she is today.
So Xiangmaozi, despite her stepmother's scolding, happily ate and led Xin Mao to the school.
Lady Xin held back her words for a long time, and finally waited until both Xiangmaozi and Xin Mao left. She and Xin Lang were the only two people left at home. The calmness and vulgarity on her face were gone, and she turned into a timid little woman. Even if she was bare-faced, she still had a somewhat feminine look.
"Dad, I have something to tell you." Lady Xin said softly.
Xin Wang looked at her silently and softly, waiting for her to say.
Lady Xin held it in for a whole night, because when she discovered the Immortal Order, she had already figured out that this Immortal Order must belong to her son Xin Mao! But how to use the Immortal Order? Should I use it as a token and give it to someone? Or will we go somewhere with this?
She didn't know these things clearly, but she was very clear-headed - she couldn't ask other people about this matter, such as Aunt Song.
Apart from anything else, Madam Xin knows how rare it is to have the opportunity to be accepted as a disciple by a god. Lady Xin knows this better than anyone. For this matter, let alone murder and arson, some people would also do even more despicable things. If other people knew that Xiangmaozi had an order from the gods, let alone Xiangmaozi, no one in their family would be able to protect him.
Regarding this point, Mrs. Xin's mind is very clear.
At that moment, she decided that no one outside except her family could know about this. Then the practical question of how to use this Immortal Order and where to use it is before us.

Lady Xin knew better that even if she snatched Xiangmaozi's jade card, Xiangmaozi would not tell the truth to her. This girl had a stubborn personality and had a mouth that could not be opened or stewed.
In the final analysis, this matter still has to be blamed on Xin Lang.
Only Xin Lang could ask everything from Xiangmaozi's mouth.
So Lady Xin held it tenderly, "Da Lang, I have something to discuss with you."
Xin Wangzheng is full of hope and expectation for his new life. These days, he seems to be burning with fire, with endless strength and energy. This kind of restlessness has been burning from morning to night, but now the house is cramped, with only one big bed, and the children are getting older, so it is difficult to do anything at night. I just hold it in until my eyes are burning.
The children are all in school now, and no one is coming or going outside.
Xin Wang's eyes changed. He stared at Mrs. Xin fiercely like a wolf that had been evil for three days. He grabbed her, closed the door and pushed her onto the bed.
Mrs. Xin let out a short scream. There was not much fear in her voice, but a little bit of a lingering meaning.
The two of them were locked in a dark room for a long, long time.
When the clouds dispersed and the rain stopped, Madam Xin leaned against Xin Lang. The hair on her forehead was stuck together due to the fine beads of sweat, giving her a unique and fragile beauty. Xin Wang hugged her, his slightly rough hands sliding up and down.
The atmosphere is charming.
However, Lady Xin shed tears silently. The tears were like unstoppable spring water, quickly wetting Xin Wang's chest.
He wanted to lift her face, but Mrs. Xin pressed her chin hard against his hand.
In the end, Xin Wang was still strong enough to support Madam Xin's chin with his palm, and forcefully raised her face. When he saw her face bursting with tears, she looked extremely sad and sad.
This made Xin Lang extremely frightened.
They were still passionately intimate just now, but suddenly the woman in his arms began to cry. He frantically tried to touch Mrs. Xin's tears with his fingers.
But as he wiped it, Madam Xin's tears kept flowing, almost drowning Xin Lang's heart.
"A Chang, did I hurt you just now?" Xin Wang asked in a low voice, with a slight worry.
Madam Xin shook her head vigorously, "No."
"Then why are you crying?" Xin Wang hugged his woman tightly again. "Are you worried about the future? Don't worry, I will definitely give you a good life."
"Dalang, as long as you are here, I am not afraid of anything." Lady Xin said sincerely.
This time it was Xin Wang's turn to be surprised, "Then why are you crying? Are you still so sad?"
Madam Xin sniffed, "I'm not doing it for myself, I'm doing it for Damao!"
Xin Wang was surprised, "Da Mao? What's wrong with him? Didn't he go to school happily this morning?"
Madam Xin snuggled into Xin Lang's arms again, "Yes, Xiangmaozi saw that he could read for two hours yesterday, and he finally remembered everything his husband said. Maybe he won't be beaten today. "
Xin Wang thought that Mrs. Xin was sad because Xin Wang was beaten at school, and couldn't help but laugh, "Don't feel bad for him because he was beaten by the teacher. This jade cannot be made into a weapon if it is not polished. The teacher only gave him a real lesson."
Lady Xin said, "How come I don't know this truth? I don't feel sorry for him being beaten, I just feel that this child really has no talent in studying!"
They both saw how Xiangmaozi gave Xin Mao extra lessons yesterday, and they really noticed the difference. In the same class, Xiangmaozi could explain it clearly to Xin Mao, but Xin Mao couldn't remember it after listening to it several times, so Xiangmaozi would repeat it impatiently over and over again.
The contrast is too obvious.
No matter how unwilling they were, Xin Wang and Mrs. Xin had to admit that Xin Mao was probably not good at studying.
Knowing that the woman felt sorry for her son, Xin Wang went to persuade her, "You are worried that Damao will not be able to study today, but two years ago, if you had the chance to teach him how to read, the ancestral graves would be smoking. Now we are still moving to the town. , Damao is not good at studying, and he has Xiangmaozi taking care of him, so he will definitely not suffer any loss. Don’t you know how energetic that girl is?!"
Madam Xin knew too well, she snorted coldly, "What will Damao do in the future?"
Xin Lang was surprised, but he still followed Mrs. Xin's words, "In the future, if Damao knows a few words, whether he works as a waiter in a rice shop, a waiter in a restaurant, or does errands in a pawn shop, it will be extremely respectable. . When the time comes, let’s save a few more taels of silver and find a capable wife for Damao. Then you will be the old feudal lord, and you won’t have to do anything all day long, just eat ready-made food!”
What Xin Wang said was very interesting, which made Mrs. Xin couldn't help but laugh, "You just do nothing all day long, like a pig!"
Seeing her smile, Xin Wang deliberately arched her neck a few times, "I am a pig, then you are the pig's trough, letting the pigs hump every day." The two of them started teasing again.
If there is no immortal order, then Lady Xin is satisfied with the future described by Xin Wang. Xin Mao was able to escape the fate of farming, read and read, and work as a clerk in the town. This was an extremely honorable job for a family like theirs.
However, these prospects are nothing compared to being an apprentice to an immortal.
So Mrs. Xin sadly said to Xin Wang, "Dad, I don't want Damao to be a servant who is ordered around all his life. He doesn't have to drink and drink all day long. Occasionally, he will pick up a reward of two cents and follow him happily. Something like that. I want Damao to be a master!"
Xin Lang was silent. Who wouldn't want to be a master? But the Xin family's ancestors had been farmers for several generations, so they didn't have that kind of fate!
"Mother, I know you are very enthusiastic and want Damao to succeed. But this child is not good at studying, and he has no destiny. You can't force this matter." Xin Wang could only comfort his woman.
Unexpectedly, Madam Xin sat up all of a sudden. She was completely naked. She looked directly at Xin Lang, "What if you have this fate?"
Xin Wang was startled by her, "What's your fate?"
Mrs. Xin said one sentence after another, "What if Xin Mao has a life of success?"
Xin Wang thought for a while and said, "Then I will risk my life to give Damao a good future!"
Lady Xin confirmed again, "Are you serious?!"
Xin Wang said, "Really."
Madam Xin's eyes shone brightly, and she stretched out her hand to hold Xin Lang's chest, "Dad, Xiangmaozi has an immortal order. That thing can allow immortals to accept mortals as disciples!"
Xin Wang was startled, "Don't talk nonsense, how can such a thing exist?!"
Madam Xin said anxiously: "Why not? It has been spread throughout Huangshi Town. This year the Immortal Road is opening up, and all the major Immortal Sects are recruiting disciples. As long as you are destined to be an Immortal, you can join the sect and become a true Immortal disciple. Then This kind of honor is not a hundred or a thousand times better than being a waiter!"
The matter of opening the Immortal Road is indeed a big gossip in Huangshi Town recently. Everyone will brag about it whenever they meet someone. When Xin Wang was cleaning up the house, he also heard people talk about it. It's just that he never regarded this as his opportunity.
So Xin Wang also put on his clothes and started working. He asked seriously, "Then how do you know there is such a thing as the Immortal Order?"
This was easy. Madam Xin recited Aunt Song's words yesterday like a child learning from beginning to end. Listening to this, Xin Wang realized that Aunt Song didn't have any good intentions, "This woman doesn't have any good intentions. I'm afraid she is plotting against our family. You should stay away from her in the future."
Madam Xin quickly agreed. She was still impatient about what Madam Song meant. The key was the Immortal Order.
Mrs. Xin said, "I thought I wasn't good enough to Xiangmaozi before, so I wanted to make amends yesterday and took her to take a hot bath with me. But when I was washing her hair, I saw a red string around this girl's neck. , there is a long jade pendant tied to the rope. The pendant is green, bright and moist, definitely not an ordinary thing!"
Xin Lang listened carefully.
"I just took it and took a look, and the girl immediately pulled it away, looked at me warily, and rushed out without even taking a shower. Dad, that jade piece is definitely the fairy order that Aunt Song said! "Ms. Xin said with certainty.
"This order to ascend to immortality belongs to our old Xin family. Logically speaking, it should be given to Xiangmaozi." Mrs. Xin said, looking at Xin Lang with her eyes, "But that girl Xiangmaozi is so wild that she really got immortality." Fate, I must not remember my parents and brothers, I must have run away just to care about myself!"
Xin Wang began to be in a daze, and he thought of Abai's cold and stubborn expression. If Xiangmaozi really had a destiny, would she be like Abai back then, aloof and disdainful of him from now on?
Seeing Xin Wang in a daze, Mrs. Xin said anxiously, "His father! Instead of giving this fairy fate to Xiangmaozi, it is better to give it to Damao! That child is honest and kind, and he will definitely not ignore his parents. When the time comes, we will be doubly kind to Xiangmaozi. , find her a good family, wouldn’t this be perfect?! His father, please tell me, will you give this fairy fate to Damao?"
