Of course, this is just the method by which the aristocratic families raise the lower limits for their disciples. Cultivation is ultimately a process of self-exploration. People like Liu Xuanhu, if they are meant to be unable to push open the Heaven and Earth Gate, they will remain unable to do so.
Apart from providing healthy milk, a wet nurse must also have adequate manners, as she often accompanies the infant. Every word and action must conform to propriety.
Now this wet nurse, who rashly carried the child into the mourning hall, is extremely disrespectful and naturally cannot be kept any longer.
Miao Yuzhi stood in the mourning hall of Bao Zhongqing, holding the child without speaking further. She only placed her pale and thin face close to the swaddling clothes, gently rocking and swaying...
...
...
"Bao Xuanjing, Bao Xuanjing."
The carriage departed from the Shuofang Earl’s Mansion, and Zhongxuan Sheng, leaning against the carriage window with some sentiment, said, "Who among kings, lords, and generals does not envy? A private matter of a thousand years."
"Indeed." Jiang Wang, sitting opposite, nodded in agreement: "The two brothers of the Bao family contended with one another, yet in the end, the Bao family belonged neither to Bao Bozhao nor to Bao Zhongqing. Who knows how Bao Xuanjing will view this story when he grows up?"
Zhongxuan Sheng laughed, "How will he view it? A valiant uncle, a heroic father, and an honorable family... Generations of renowned gates, a house of loyalty and courage!"
Jiang Wangruo pondered, "For many people, the meaning of writing history may lie precisely in this. It further highlights the greatness of Mr. Sima."
"You seem to understand history more and more." Zhongxuan Sheng mocked, "Are you planning to enter the palace to memorize books again in a few days? Up to which volume are you now?"
Jiang Wang couldn’t be bothered with this and simply said to himself, "The name Bao Xuanjing is rather lovely, and he is quite innocent and adorable now. I hope he will be more talented than his father in the future, yet also not as unscrupulous as his father."
Zhongxuan Sheng said, "You haven’t truly grasped the charm of this name."
"How so?"
Zhongxuan Sheng lightly lifted a corner of the carriage window and, gazing at the gradually disappearing Shuofang Earl’s Mansion in the distance, sighed, "The so-called ’Xuan mirror alone reflects, illuminating with clarity,’ giving Bao Zhongqing’s son this name shows Master Bao’s overt remembrance of his eldest son."
Jiang Wang fell silent for a moment.
In the smoothly traveling carriage, Zhongxuan Sheng suddenly said, "Wang, it’s about time you married. Everyone’s pushing you to become a father, aren’t you nervous?"
Jiang Wang shot him a glance, "I find that you married folks especially like to urge others. Dog Steward is the same; since getting engaged to Miss Wen, he’s often trying to set me up. What is it? Just because you can no longer frequent the four famous pavilions, no longer indulge in romance, you want to drag everyone down with you?"
Speaking of Yan Xian Brother, prosperous as he was, he was once a figure on the Linzi beauty rankings, seated at five aiming for three, a position he held firmly for years, unshaken by any handsome newcomers. But after he got engaged to Wen Tinglan, and bore the label of heartbreaker, he was chased around Linzi by Jiang Wuyou, and his ranking plummeted fiercely... Now he has honorably fallen off the list.
Considered alongside Zhongxuan Sheng as one of the missed gems of the Linzi beauty rankings. (according to Zhongxuan Sheng himself)
Zhongxuan Sheng sneered at Jiang Someone’s sweeping, "Even when you visit the four famous pavilions, you’re just sitting there cultivating, aren’t you? Whether you can go or not, what’s the difference?"
"What do you know!" Jiang Wang replied with disdain, "When it’s time to cultivate, I cultivate; when it’s time to play, I play. This Marquis doesn’t lose out to anyone in life! I was at the Mugu Temple of Divine Grace, chatting and laughing with Yuwen Ze! At home, I keep a bunch of beauties, I’ll have them dance when I return!"
"You better keep your word!" Zhongxuan Sheng’s eyes lit up, and he smacked his thigh, "Let’s go! Let’s go now!"
He was quite interested in the dance troupe from the Wu’an Marquis Mansion, having long wanted to see a performance. He heard they had traveled from the Chu Territory to Mugu and were presented as a grand gift to Linzi.
Unfortunately, Jiang’s trips home were sporadic, and when he was in the mansion, he was always busy, so Zhongxuan Sheng never found the right opportunity.
Yi Shisi, who had been quietly listening to the two jest, still said nothing, but the smile on his face had disappeared.
"Get out of here!"
Zhongxuan Sheng kicked Jiang Wang, "You vile creature, get out now! Go enjoy your songs and dances, live your life of debauchery! Don’t stay in my carriage!"
If Shisi weren’t present, Jiang Wang was sure this kick from Zhongxuan Sheng would have turned out awkwardly.
But alas, with Shisi present, he had to awkwardly slink out of the carriage.
...
...
"The autumn wind rises, the white clouds fly,
The grass and trees yellow and fall as the geese fly south.
The orchid has grace, the chrysanthemum has fragrance,
Thinking of the fair lady, I cannot forget..."
In the Wu’an Marquis Mansion, the singing was melodious, the dancing graceful.
The song and dance troupe brought back from the grasslands were finally put to use today.
When talking about hearing Chu Song, one listens to Chu Song.
When speaking of enjoying Chu Dance, one enjoys Chu Dance.
Today’s Marquis Wu’an is indeed bold and confident. To say he acts as he wishes in Qi Country may be an exaggeration, but there are few things that can trouble him.
Just like at this moment, having exchanged banter with Marquis of Bowang, he returned home to adorn with bright lanterns, to revel in songs and dances...
While also entering the Taixu Illusion Realm.
It could be said that he seamlessly balanced cultivation with leisure, becoming the master of his time.
Recently, there was a significant change in the Taixu Illusion Realm.
The long-developed Taixu Scroll has now been formally created, having passed through the resolutions of all major supervisory forces. This will inevitably usher in new changes for the ever-expanding Taixu Illusion Realm.
The Taixu Sect evidently made ample preparations for this, and the trial implementation of the Taixu Scroll was quite successful.
Currently, the tasks within the Taixu Scroll are not numerous, mostly concentrated in The Gate of All Demons, the Lost World, the Endless Desert, the Fallen Immortal Forest, and Yu Yuan - these absolute places of reality, primarily involving exploration and raiding of these deadly grounds.
