Even though Xue Bian is far more sensible and smart than Xue Pan, the eldest family member of the Xue family faces the same problem as the second family member: money is enough, but there is no backer, and the children have no future.

Back then, Shi Zhongkui had just been admitted to the sixth rank of Hanlin, the leader of the Six Yuan Dynasty, and Bao Qin had already thought that it would be great if he could marry Shi Zhongkui.

Not to mention that Shi Zhongkui is a being that both the emperor and the emperor need to look up to.

If Jia Mu had not lived a long life because of Shi Zhongkui, the Emperor would have no problem kneeling down and licking him.

Even so, not only Bao Qin was willing to marry into the Shi family, but Xue Bian, Xue Pan and Aunt Xue also agreed with both hands. Even the houses of the Xue family in Jinling were eager for Shi Zhongkui to marry another daughter of the Xue family.

When Bao Qin heard Shi Zhongkui mention Xue scorpion, he stood up and curtsied and replied, "Returning to my brother-in-law, there was news from the Ministry of Personnel a few days ago that my brother is doing quite well in Yangzhou. It seems that he should be able to return to the capital before the year to report on his work."

.”

Shi Zhongkui was stunned. Baochai knew by looking at his expression that his master had not cared about Xue Biao at all for more than a year. Naturally, he didn't know that Brother Xue was appointed by the emperor as Yangzhou Salt Transport Envoy last year to help the imperial court go to the south to rectify the salt production.

And went to make money.

If it were anyone else, not to mention rectifying the salt production, even if you want to make money, it depends on the attitude of the southern salt merchants and the southern officials in the court.

But who was Shi Zhongkui? It was because of him that several major salt merchants had their homes confiscated. Even the Zhen family was ruined because they offended their own master.

If the Emperor hadn't been so concerned about his face and family ties, the Zhen family in Jiangnan would have gone beyond just confiscating their property.

It's a pity that even though the emperor used Shi Zhongkui's help to deal with the Zhen family severely, and then took the opportunity to vigorously rectify the salt industry in the south, only five or six years later, the salt industry still began to decay.

Everything is like a reincarnation. Officials who helped the Supreme Emperor collect money back then became people who helped the Emperor make money.

As time passed, these new officials naturally began to conceal everything.

When the emperor eats meat, everyone makes money.

Last year the emperor sent Xue swam to the south simply because the salt tax had been decreasing year by year.

There is no need to send people to investigate this matter. If there are disasters, salt farmers are living in poverty, and a large number of people are fleeing their country, someone must be doing something secretly.

Originally, Jia Lian and Jia Rong were both suitable as imperial envoys, but compared to Xue Biao, they were really inferior.

Moreover, Jia Lian and Jia Rong have become accustomed to wealth and status in recent years. How can they be willing to endure such hardship when they are over thirty years old?

As for Xue Pan, it was not within the emperor's consideration at all.

Shi Zhongkui thought about it and realized that Baochai would send someone to protect Xue Biao if he knew he was going south.

And speaking of it, the Xue family and the Jia family themselves believed that Xue Biao was the most promising person.

He looked at Baochai and said, "Did you send someone to follow?"

Bao Qin immediately showed a feeling look, while Baochai smiled and said, "Don't worry, sir. I asked Shi Xingguo, Shi Xingtai, Shi Xingmin, and Shi Xing'an to choose four people from the home guards to follow. At the same time, I also asked the maids in the backyard to follow."

Two little girls were selected to serve Brother Tao.

Moreover, Second Aunt You and Third Aunt You also selected four Taoist priests from the Xuanqing Sect to follow them secretly."

Second Sister You and Third Sister You secretly rejoiced. Although the master has always been fond of their sisters, and the three ladies in the family also treated their aunts well, when it comes to opportunities to do things, their sisters are really not as good as Ying'er and Hu Hu.

The two sisters were naturally overjoyed to be able to perform in front of Shi Zhongkui.

Second Sister You quickly stood up and became polite, then bowed her knees to Baochai with a grateful look.

The third sister smiled without scruples and said, "It's not like I don't know the virtues of my and my sister's cheap seniors.

Given the opportunity to please the master and the eldest lady, the senior brothers and uncles in the sect almost went to work as the bodyguards of the second master."

Shi Zhongkui smiled, and the other female relatives covered their mouths and laughed softly.

Relying on Xianggong, I and others can easily break through the Nascent Soul and even the combined stage, but the Taoist priests of Xuanqing Sect are not so lucky.

Even the second sister You and the third sister You still attach great importance to Xuanqing Sect, so they have foreign help.

But he didn't dare to really give them his own skills, fairy fruits, and fairy wine.

Besides, Baochai and Yingchun always keep the good things, and even Daiyu doesn't have the key to the treasure house.

Second Sister You and Third Sister You will naturally not be stupid and give away the good things allocated to you every month.

However, the two sisters, who have already reached the stage of spiritual transformation, are still qualified enough to give guidance to the people of Xuanqing Sect.

In recent years, Chang Qingzi, Chang Lingzi, and Chang Zhenzi have successively broken through from the 8th and 4th levels of Qi training to the foundation building stage.

The test was about the Foundation Building Pill refined by Second Sister You.

The third sister is a bit carefree and likes to play outside the sword, but the second sister You thinks more long-term.

After breaking through to the golden elixir stage four or five years ago, I asked Shi Zhongkui for the elixir refining technique and began to explore elixir refining.

Naturally, there was no result at first, but every month at Shi Zhongkui's house, there were immortal officials from heaven coming to drink, and Second Sister You, a concubine, had no chance or qualification to ask for advice.

But it does not prevent Baochai, Yingchun and Daiyu from thinking that it is a good thing to have a sister who is obsessed with alchemy among their sisters.

Among the gifts sent by Yang Jian and others, some relatively ordinary materials were naturally given to Second Sister You for practice.

Together with Ao Xianqi and Ao Linghua, who followed Shi Zhongkui to the world of Red Mansions, they have already built a Dragon Palace in the East China Sea of ​​this world.

Ao Linghua also came to see Daiyu every three days.

In addition to the materials and treasures that could be found in the Dragon Palace, many of them were given to Shi Zhongkui and ended up in Daiyu's house.

Second Sister You and Third Sister You followed Daiyu to serve Shi Zhongkui. Not to mention the materials, they even collected a lot of alchemy techniques and treasures and sent them in.

Second Sister You looks timid and cowardly, but that doesn't mean she's stupid, otherwise she wouldn't be able to reach the stage of becoming a god.

With such great support, Shi Zhongkui's treasured Foundation Establishment Pill was refined by Second Sister You the year before last.

Daiyu saw that she was indeed talented, and after begging Shi Zhongkui, she quickly set her sights on Dansheng, who was studying with her.

The little guy also spent the most time with Daiyu and was the closest to her.

When I returned to heaven, I didn’t even need to ask Taishang Laojun, I just raised it once with Jin Jiao and Yin Jiao.

He got an alchemy furnace that would be envied by even the great monks in the Tribulation Stage, and it became Sister You's treasure.

Therefore, after the foundation-building pills that were actually refined by Second Sister You and handed over to Jindu and Yindu by Dansheng, the Taoist priests in the Xuanqing Sect who broke through to the foundation-building stage suddenly became famous in the past year.

There are a dozen more.

Everyone in the Xuanqing Sect, whose strength had greatly increased, wanted to call Second Sister You and Third Sister You grandma.

Not to mention these Taoist priests who have broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage, as well as the elders in the sect who were stuck in the Foundation Establishment stage, they are still looking forward to Second Sister You being able to refine an elixir that can break through to the Golden Elixir stage.
