During the New Year, the stewards who stayed in the Sui Palace, the shopkeepers of Zhao Chenji's main store in Chang'an and branches in various places, the clerks, the heads of the weaving workshops, and the village heads of various farms under Chen's name during his lifetime all took their

His wife and children went to Saga Mountain to bid farewell to their current little master, Li Lijun, to pay their New Year greetings.

The old forest farm servants and dyeing workshop craftsmen who lived on the former Dou family forest farm, as well as the new village head of Liujiazhuang, also participated in this action.

Aunt Cui and Aunt Lu carefully arranged for these people to test their spiritual roots. However, considering that most of them had responsibilities, it was impossible for them to leave their business and concentrate on their cultivation, so they consciously chose them

The children were tested, but they and their wives were ignored.

Li Lijun was noncommittal about this. Anyway, in the end, it would be enough to find someone with spiritual roots. Younger children are easier to train and teach, and they can learn things faster.

This time she no longer needed to call people one by one under the guise of "observing hands" for testing. Except for some familiar shopkeepers, the daughter in charge, or the juniors of Cui and Lu.

Other than that, no one else needs to come to her. Erhong only needs to bring a set of three spiritual detection tools, namely a black wooden box, a tea tray spirit gathering array and a white jade ruler, and find someone to test it in private.

There is no need to obtain the consent of the children's parents. Erhong can think of the reasons for the test by herself. Anyway, with her first-level cultivation of Qi Refining, she can already control the White Jade Ruler on her own. After the cover-up work is done, the parents of those children will forget about it.

I find it strange that if I ask her about her intentions, she can also use words to deceive him.

Who would be serious with the most favored maid beside the little master?

The results of this test were quite gratifying. Erhong found two more children with spiritual roots. One was the granddaughter of an old servant at the forest farm. Her surname was Zhao, and everyone called her Aunt Zhao. The other was an acquaintance.

It was Lu Siyun, grandnephew of Grandma Lu, and his grandfather, shopkeeper Lu, had just taken up the post of chief shopkeeper of Zhao Chenji just after the autumn.

Aunt Zhao has the four spiritual roots of earth, wood, water, and fire. The spiritual roots are neither thick nor thin. They are at the normal level of the four spiritual roots.

Lu Siyun's spiritual roots are even better. They are the three spiritual roots of earth, wood, and fire. Although they are a little weak, they are within the normal range. If he had been lucky and was discovered by the True Immortal Temple, he might have been included in the door wall by now.

He is regarded as a candidate for an elite disciple, just like the former Taoist Xuanying.

Li Lijun was very happy to have found two good seedlings. Unfortunately, these two people did not live in Sagashan Villa. One lived in the forest farm and the other in Chang'an East City. She wanted to transfer them to her side so that she could teach more easily.

.

Aunt Zhao's problem is not big. Li Lijun is now the new owner of the forest farm. He only needs to give an order to have a maid by his side to get her over. Her family members are unlikely to have any objections.

Lu Siyun is in some trouble. He is the grandson of shopkeeper Lu. He has been smart since he was a child. I heard that he has learned to calculate accounts for several years. He was obviously trained by his grandfather as his successor. His future development direction is to be a shopkeeper. So what if he is okay?

Will he run to his little master and become a slave?

However, Grandma Lu said that this matter was easy to handle. She went to tell her brother in person, saying that she just lacked a trustworthy descendant to run errands, and her brother was not the only grandson who would not refute her. Even her brother

He and his sister-in-law didn’t know anything about cultivating immortals, and thought that their grandson was just here to run errands. However, with Grandma Lu’s personal guidance, the child would be able to find a stewardship position in the future. In the future, he would be a steward for the Fourth Lady of the Sui Palace, no better than in Zhao State.

Working as a shopkeeper in Chen Ji's shop might be more respectable in the eyes of outsiders!

As for whether Shopkeeper Lu and his family will find out the truth in the future and complain about Aunt Lu's concealment today... Aunt Lu doesn't care. She feels that this matter has benefited her younger brother's family, and it makes no sense to blame her for not telling the truth!

Ever since she found out that her grandnephew had spiritual roots, Grandma Lu had been in a happy mood. If she hadn't known that Grandma Cui's son and grandson, her nephew and her children had not been able to detect spiritual roots, she would have been afraid that she would be overjoyed and call people out.

She was feeling sad, which had become more obvious a long time ago. She was the one who most expected her grandnephew to seize this opportunity. From then on, the Lu family had gods. It was like smoke rising from the graves of their ancestors, okay?!

Li Lijun also noticed the sadness of Aunt Cui. Originally, the two Aunts didn't care much about this kind of thing, but now one of them has blood relatives who can practice, and the other obviously has a bigger family, but there is no cultivation seedling.

It is inevitable that she will be mentally unstable. What's more, Grandma Lu is about to have a great-nephew Chenghuan. Cui Ying, the eldest son of Cui Ying, and his son stay in the Sui Palace. The second son Cui Xiong and his family are all in Luoyang.

Mrs. Shao will be separated from her family. The more joyful the reunion during the New Year, the more desolate it will be when they are separated after the New Year.

Li Lijun thought to herself that as a good master, she should pay more attention to the mental state of the servants around her.

She then came up with an idea: "Simply ask shopkeeper Lu to select one or two other grandsons and send them over. Aunt Cui also selects one or two young and clever ones from Uncle Ying and Uncle Xiong's sons, plus other

Young people with good health, flexible minds, and strong skills should form a guard group, right? They will stay in our villa and ask people to teach them reading, literacy, archery, horseback riding, and archery. If there are any outstanding ones among them, they can be promoted in the future.

Come here to take care of things. I have a lot of mundane affairs here, and I usually rely on my two nuns to take care of them. But the nuns are busy all day long, and they are getting older. It’s time to train future successors. Besides, I don’t have any subordinates.

It’s very inconvenient for a male steward who can come forward to deal with outsiders. We can’t let Team Ding stand up for everything, right?”

Aunt Lu hurriedly said: "This is a good idea. It's not that we can't trust Commander Ding, but... he is an outsider after all, and he doesn't know anything. Although he seems to have been exiled now, but the palace

All he needs to do is give an order, and he will leave at any time. Wouldn't we be blinded by that? Even if the palace sends a new team to come over, we don't know what his character is like, so we don't dare to let him do things easily!"

Aunt Cui also nodded: "That's true. Even if Captain Ding is here all the time...just for business matters, you can also ask him to come forward for official matters, but if it involves our Zhao Chenji's affairs...please ask him

I always feel that there is something wrong with coming forward. After all, he is an official of the imperial court, not one of our own subordinates."

Both the nuns agreed, so the matter would be easy to handle. Erhong also smiled and said: "Both nuns have chosen their own nephews, so people won't mistakenly think that the two nuns are trying to show off each other, right?"

"

Everyone couldn't help but laugh.

Li Lijun added: "Moms, remember to find a few more loyal and healthy young people to lead these young people, preferably those with strong skills. After they are formed, find someone to teach them the martial arts of boxing, kicking, riding and shooting. To the outside world, they only say that they are

Give me some bodyguards. Although I don’t need them, I have a lot of female dependents at home, so I need to pay attention to safety. I can’t rely on Team D to correct them for everything. There are less than twenty of them in total. If Bieye really has

When foreign enemies come to attack, what's the use of relying on them alone? We also need our own manpower."

In less than six years, the Anshi Rebellion will begin. If she cannot stop this war, then Sanyuan County in the Guanzhong region will also not be able to escape the raging war. Saga Mountain is not a high mountain that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. If you want to win in the war
