Less than three years after Ruoshui Shenjun married the eldest girl from Donghai, he gave Lord Donghai a son. Ruoshui and Donghai both families were very happy.
Lord Donghai was even more proud. Invitations to make full-moon wine for his son were spread all over the world, and even a copy was sent to the fox cave where father and mother lived.
My father and mother have been away from home for hundreds of years. The eldest brother, the second brother, and the third brother settled down and got married and divided their fiefs one after another. The third brother went to Xishan to look for his lost mount Bi Fangniao. Therefore, I am now the only one left in charge of the Fox Cave.
I took the post and backlighted it against the water curtain outside the cave for a long time. I remembered that my mother-in-law had difficulty in giving birth to me, and it seemed that it was the help of Dong Haijun's great-grandfather's wife who saved her from a lot of suffering, so I hugged him. A pumpkin-sized luminous pearl, ready for a trip to the East China Sea.
I'm not very good at finding my way around.
Before leaving, I went to the old man Migu next door and asked for a branch from the Migu tree.
The Migu tree is born with black wood texture, and the Migu flowers that are conceived are five-color and fragrant. But apart from being used for lighting at night, the flower has no other use.
What holds my dearest heart is the branches in the Lost Valley. As long as you wear one, you will never get lost.
The original form of Migu Lao'er is a Migu tree, which grew on Mount Zhaoyao in the Southern Wilderness at the beginning of Hongmeng.
When my mother-in-law was pregnant with Brother Xi, she had an argument with her father and ran away from home. She got lost and went to Zhaoyao Mountain. When my father found my mother-in-law, I was worried that my mother-in-law would get lost next time she left home alone, so he simply carried the only lost tree in Zhaoyao Mountain back to Qingqiu and planted it at the door of his house.
Qingqiu is a blessed land of immortality. This lost valley tree was bathed in the essence of the sun and the moon and the aura of the west, and after three thousand years, it actually transformed into a human form. After another three thousand years, he transformed into a medium-sized earthly immortal.
My father gave him a few bundles of bamboo as a gift, so he used these bundles of bamboo and some thatch to build three sheds next to the fox hole, and we became our neighbor.
Because he was an immortal from the Kingdom of Qingqiu, he followed the other little immortals and called his father, "Your Majesty."
Old Migu is actually not old. He took human form more than two thousand years after I was born. He has red lips and white teeth, and a pair of slightly upward peach blossom eyes.
Most of the female fairies in Qingqiu asked their mother-in-law to act as a matchmaker to propose marriage to him, but they never succeeded.
Although Mr. Mi Gu looks like a romantic, he is very polite. Every time he saw me, he would clasp his hands and call me "aunt" respectfully. This courtesy is very useful to me.
This time when Mr. Migu handed me the branch, his expression was quite gloomy. I didn't know who he was provoking. If I asked him, I would probably listen to his nagging. I thought about it and said it carefully. After I got something, I immediately made a trick to attract auspicious clouds, put my head on the clouds and rushed to the East China Sea.
There are ten miles of peach trees to the east of the East China Sea.
When my third brother heard that I was going to the East China Sea for a banquet, he sent a special message asking me to go to Zheyan's house to ask for two pots of Peach Blossom Drunk on my return.
Zheyan is the owner of Shili Peach Grove, an old phoenix who is so old that even he himself cannot remember his exact age.
Auntie said that Zheyan was the first phoenix born in the great era since the beginning of the world. Father God raised him personally, and his status was somewhat higher than that of the current Heavenly King.
When I was born, there were no miracles from God the Father in this world.
My father and mother took me to see Zhe Yan. He raised his eyebrows and pursed his lips and smiled at my father: "Is this the girl your wife recently got for you? This little girl is really good-looking."
The relationship between Zheyan and the Kingdom of Qingqiu mainly started with A Niang.
It is said that tens of thousands of years ago, Zheyan proposed to his mother-in-law and even gave her a betrothal gift.
But my mother-in-law was attracted by my elm-headed father, and she shook her head but refused to nod.
For this reason Zheyan even had a hearty fight with his father, and after the fight the two became sworn brothers.
After the New Year, my father brought my mother to Qingqiu in a big sedan chair, and asked Zheyan to marry her.
Based on seniority, the brothers above me and I all have to call Zheyan "uncle".
But he has always been "disrespectful for being old" and firmly believes that he is actually very young, and he will hate anyone who dares to call him old for thousands of years.
So, we had to follow our father and mother in fear and call his name.
Although Zheyan was good at brewing wine, he didn't like the mingling of wine at banquets.
"A mysterious god who retreats from the three realms, has no concern for the mortal world, has an elegant taste, and has taste more elegant than his taste" is his positioning of himself.
Therefore, he always laughed at the posts posted by immortals inviting Zheyan to drink and have fun.
The immortals invited him to join in the fun, which was originally to express their closeness to this god who had no actual duties but had a high status. He had been in this room for a long time, and the immortals in that room had probably come up with a name, saying that this idle god could only be respected but not approached, so the idea of inviting him again faded away.
Zheyan was so happy that he devoted himself to farming in the peach blossom forest.
Arriving at the edge of the East China Sea, I counted the time with my fingers and saw that there was still one and a half days before the official banquet.
Thinking of the third brother's request, he planned to go to Zheyan's house first and ask for a jar of peach blossom wine from him. Fill two pots and take them back to Third Brother, fill another pot with luminous pearls and send them to Lord Donghaihai as a gift, and bury the rest in front of the fox hole and drink slowly.
This is the season when peach blossoms are in full bloom. There are ten miles of peach trees and ten miles of peach blossoms, and the mountains and plains are filled with scorching fragrance.
I walked towards the depths of the peach forest by familiar means, and at a glance I saw Zheyan sitting cross-legged on the open ground, chewing peaches. In the blink of an eye, there was only one core left in such a big peach.
Zheyan smiled and waved to me: "Isn't this the little girl from the Bai family? She is getting more and more handsome as she grows. Come here," he patted the open space beside him, "Sit here and let me take a closer look."
Among the gods in heaven and earth, there are not many who are senior enough to call me little girl.
This little girl's voice gave me the illusion that I was actually still very young, which was extremely emotional and helpful.
I sat down and Zheyan wiped his hands on my sleeve.
I was thinking about how to open my mouth to ask for the jar of wine smoothly, and then I heard Zheyan chuckle and say: "You have stayed in Qingqiu for tens of thousands of years, and this trip is really good."
I was stunned for a long time, not quite understanding the reason behind his words, so I could only apologize and said with a smile: "The peach blossoms here are blooming very well, very well."
His smile deepened: "A few days ago, Beihaijun brought his wife to my place to enjoy the peach blossoms for a few days. This is the first time I saw his little wife, she is so innocent and cute."
Now I couldn't laugh anymore.
Beihaijun's little wife is called Shaoxin, and it was me who gave her this name.
I can’t remember exactly how many years ago, my brother and I went to Dongting Lake to play. In the reeds about half the height of a man, we found a small snake that was bullied until it was dying.
I looked pitiful and asked Brother Xi to take it back to Qingqiu.
At that time, Xiaoba Snake had become a spirit. Although he was limp, he could barely form a human form. This was Shaoxin. Shaoxin spent two years recovering from his injury in Qingqiu. After he recovered from his injury, he said he wanted to repay me, so he stayed.
At that time, my mother-in-law and mother-in-law were often away from Qingqiu, and Xi Ge was in charge of the Fox Cave, so he arranged for her to be a cleaning maid. There were no maids in Fox Cave before, so I was the one doing all the cleaning work.
I enjoyed my leisure time, so I was homeless all day long, hanging out with my eldest brother, second brother, third brother, and Zheyan.
Two hundred years passed peacefully like this. One day, my father and mother came back to Qingqiu and said that they had arranged a marriage for me. My fiancé is from Beihaijun Sang.
At that time, Sang Ji was still the favored second son of the Emperor of Heaven. He lived in the ninth heaven and was not sealed to Beihai.
The Heavenly Lord spread the word about Sang Ji and I's engagement to all the Western Seas, and everyone from all walks of life knew about it.
Now that I know it, I will come to my door to have a casual chat and say congratulations.
Brother Xi and I were so annoyed that we simply packed up our bags and hid in Zheyan's Peach Blossom Forest.
This avoidance hides the problem.
When he returned to Qingqiu after eating Tao Zi, Shao Xin disappeared. Only Feng Sangji's divorce note was buried in the gray fox cave. It is said that he has been in love with Shaoxin for a long time and will never marry Shaoxin in this life. I'm sorry for that.
I thought this was no big deal. First of all, I have never met Sang Ji, and I can't say that I have feelings for him. Secondly, Shaoxin and I didn't get along for long, and even if we had feelings, it's hard to say how deep they were. Thirdly, even the livestock in the forest have the right to choose a good-looking mate. All living beings are equal. There is no reason why Sang Ji should be deprived of this right. To put it mildly, it doesn't really matter to me that they make a couple.
However, the matter finally came to Tianjun.
It's not like I was there to cause trouble.
It is said that Sang Ji personally took Shaoxin's hand and knelt down in Tianjun's court, saying that he would give Shaoxin a status.
In less than half a day, the news spread throughout the country.
The kind-hearted person said: "The youngest daughter of the Bai family in Qingqiu is really pitiful. It used to be a good marriage, but she was abandoned by her husband's family after only three years of engagement. How can she get married in the future?"
There are also some who are gossiping: "I wonder how that Ba snake is so beautiful that it can compare to the natural charm of the nine-tailed white fox?"
At this point, my father, mother, eldest brother, second brother, third brother and Zheyan all knew that I had been annulled.
Zheyan immediately took his father and mother and ran to the ninth heaven to seek an explanation from the Heavenly Lord.
I don't know exactly how to discuss it. I only know that Sang Ji fell out of favor after that, and Tianjun hurriedly granted him the title of Beihaijun. His position was still under his younger brother Xihaijun, Liansong. Anyone with a discerning eye would know that he was exiled. As for his marriage to Shaoxin, it has never been recognized.
My father's only thought on this matter was: "Damn boy, it's easy for him."
Zheyan was kind-hearted, half watching the excitement and half regretting sighing: "Why bother to ruin your whole life's future for a woman?"
At that time, I was young, naive and ignorant. I always felt that since the main characters were Sang Ji and Shaoxin, they had little to do with me and I was not at a disadvantage.
Later, Tianjun personally issued the decree in the court hall. The gist of this unfortunate decree was that although the crown prince had not yet been decided, Bai Qian, the youngest daughter of the Bai family in Qingqiu, had been chosen by the Celestial Clan as their daughter-in-law and the future Empress of Heaven.
In other words, any of his sons who want to succeed Tianjun must marry Bai Qian from the Bai family in Qingqiu.
It was obviously a great favor, but it was too great. In order to avoid the suspicion of competing for favor, the other sons of Tianjun basically ignored me. Of course, I had never been lucky enough to talk to them. And because of the reputation of the Celestial Clan, the other gods did not dare to take the risk of falling out with the Celestial Clan and seek employment from Dad. From then on, I was completely ignored and became a goddess who could not get married.
More than three hundred years ago, Tianjun made his eldest grandson, Lord Yehua, the crown prince and succeeded him to the throne.
I don't know anything about Ye Hua, who came up and was named the crown prince halfway. I only heard that after Sang Ji was exiled, Tianjun was very depressed for a time because his other sons had mediocre qualifications. Fortunately, three years later, his eldest son Yangcuo gave him a smart grandson. Tianjun was able to free himself from depression and was very happy.
Dun Min's grandson is Ye Hua.
According to the decree issued by the Heavenly Lord, this Lord Ye Hua is my future husband, and I must get married to this young divine Lord. Ye Hua, on his side, is said to have married a concubine named Su Jin, who is favored by her and has given birth to a little grandchild. Naturally, he has no intention of marrying me. Although I don't have a loved one like him, when I think about him giving birth to me nearly a hundred thousand years later, I should call me aunt in terms of seniority, and call me ancestor in terms of age. He couldn't help himself and forced himself to take the initiative to get married.
So much so that the marriage has dragged on until now, and maybe he has become the laughing stock of the entire Western Sea.
In this matter caused by Beihaijun Sangji, I am not at a loss. Jian Shou has suffered a big loss, so naturally he keeps secret from the culprit and has the intention of killing him.
I thought that Zheyan's special mention of Bei Haijun this time was definitely not to make a bet with me, but to bring out some exciting news. It was all about picking out a passage that contained powerful information, so I quickly acted in line with his wishes and acted interested. Open your ears and listen.
The smile lines at the corner of his mouth became deeper and deeper: "That little lady is very unhappy. In just tens of thousands of years, she has given birth to three children for Bei Haijun. The one in her belly now is said to be Lao Xi. It shows that Ba Snake is indeed a child." It can give birth. The little lady is clamoring all day long to eat peaches because of her happiness. At this time of year, peach blossoms are blooming everywhere, but when it comes to peaches, there is no other place in the world except me where we can eat them. So Mr. Bei Haihai shamelessly came to the door, and since he asked for it, I was too embarrassed not to give it."
I glared at him and lowered my head to smooth out a few creases in my skirt. Because I always thought that Zheyan was a grasshopper tied to the same rope as us in Qingqiu, but he did not share the same hatred as us on this matter, and generously gave peaches from Beihai Lake, which was really disappointing.
He looked at me for a while, then laughed out loud: "Look at you, your face is turning green. Aren't they just a few peaches?"
I raised my head sharply, my movement was too sudden, and I accidentally bumped into his lowered forehead.
But he didn't care at all, and teased me in a humorous tone: "Look, after hearing that I gave someone else's honey mixed with oil, the little couple's hearts softened immediately. I said, that's just a peach. If Bei Haijun's family is temporarily unable to add a fifth child in the past tens of thousands of years, it will not cost him much blessing, nor will it damage much of my moral character."
In fact, it has nothing to do with me when Bei Haijun acquired the fifth prince, because I can't kill anyone by eating him from side to side. If he hadn't broken off the engagement back then, he wouldn't have caused a lot of trouble later on. I sincerely appreciate Zheyan for teaching him this lesson. But since Mr. Zheyan has decided that I am actually very soft-hearted, I can't say anything more and can only suffer in silence. He tried to comfort him again, saying that carelessness would always lead to Tianjun's family being a turtle and a bastard, and his descendants would all be turtles and bastards.
After scolding Tianjun's family, he asked me about the current situation of my family, and also talked about other things, from how the vicissitudes of life outside the Eastern Wilderness had changed over tens of thousands of years, to petty quarrels at home and several wars, to whose family Whoever falls in love with someone from whose family will soon have a good relationship. There are always endless gossips about Zheyan. I humbly asked for advice, and he poured beans into bamboo tubes from all walks of life and seemed to pour them all into me.
At first, I was still thinking about the jar of peach blossoms, but after a few moments I became dizzy and completely forgot about begging for wine.
When night fell, Zheyan reminded: "The mistress asked me to make two pots of wine for him and bury them under the Du Heng plant with few leaves beside the Baguio Pond in the back mountain. You can rest there tonight. At the office, I dug some wine for my mistress to take back, just two jugs, but don’t spill it or drink it secretly.”
I curled my lips: "You are too stingy."
He leaned over and rubbed my hair: "You really can't drink that wine secretly. If you really want to drink it, you can move it to my wine cellar tomorrow. You can move as much as you can." He said with a smile as if he remembered something, " Don't go west at night. I have guests here today. I don't think it's appropriate for you to meet at this time, so it's better not to meet."
Regarding what he said before, I would like to thank him profusely, but I had already made a plan in my mind. In recent years, unlike when I was a child, it has become more difficult to visit the Ten Miles of Peach Grove. Those two pots of Peach Blossom Drunk must be drunk secretly. , the wine in his wine cellar also needs to be moved with great effort.
As for the last sentence, his instruction was in vain. Recently, I don't like liveliness very much, I don't like wandering around at night, let alone making friends. I am not very interested in what kind of guest this guest is. But he asked me to avoid it, so I naturally avoided it.
