Xiao Ruxue really didn't understand Xu Qing's words. Nowadays, three parts of the Central Plains are in troubled times. Although there is such a short period of stability and prosperity, the family and country are not unified, and it is difficult to usher in a real prosperous age.
Chu, Zhao, and Zhou all regarded themselves as orthodox, and they continued to conquer each other, and the war continued for decades.
Xiao Ruxue asked curiously: "Now that the Chu State has been fighting for years, the army will only be insufficient, and sometimes even strong men will be recruited. How can there be no saying that it is not necessary?"
Xu Qing shook his head and looked to the sky, as if he wanted to transcend time and space, but in the end he could only see the vast sky, and a tear fell uncontrollably from the corner of his eye.
Although Xu Qing has been trying hard to integrate himself here, today he couldn't help but feel emotional. After all, this place still can't give him a true sense of belonging!
Xiao Ruxue felt a chill coming from the back of her hand. She raised her head and looked into the corner of Xu Qing's eyes. She quickly took out her handkerchief and stood on tiptoes to reach out her hand to wipe Xu Qing's tears. Her eyes were slightly panicked and her tone was cautious:
"Why are you crying?"
Xu Qing shook his head and said: "It's okay, I just feel a little homesick."
"Missing home?" Xiao Ruxue was a little confused, but still said: "Then let's go home?"
Xu Qing pulled back from her thoughts, looked in the direction of Uncle Anding's Mansion, and nodded: "Okay, go home."
Anding Bofu
Xu Qing and Xiao Ruxue walked into the inner house and saw Su Qian and Xuan'er coming out of the kitchen with plates in their hands and placing them on the table in the courtyard.
My father-in-law held bowls and chopsticks in his hands and placed them on every seat.
Su Qian turned her head and saw Xu Qing and Xiao Ruxue walking in. A smile appeared on her pretty face and she said, "Husband and Xue'er are back? Come over for dinner quickly."
Xiao Ruxue's little nose moved, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she ran to the dining table in small steps: "It smells so good! Sister Su's craftsmanship is really getting better and better. Can I learn from Sister Su?"
Su Qian nodded and said, "Xue'er can learn if she wants to."
Xu Qing, who was standing by the courtyard door, looked at the lively scene in the courtyard, and a smile inadvertently appeared on his cheeks.
Home? There is one here too.
Even if you can really go back, can you really go back with such peace of mind?
Both worlds have emotions and love that they can't let go of. Can I really let go of it all?
The universe has its own laws of operation.
Everything in the heaven and earth, stars, time and space are not subject to one's own personal will.
Since I can't change all this, I can only live in the present.
Only, live in the present.
Xiao Ruxue turned around and looked at Xu Qing, who was standing by the courtyard door with a smile, and urged: "Xu Qing, Xu Qing! Stop giggling there, dinner is ready!"
…
afternoon
Xu Qing no longer needs to go to the shadow guards this afternoon because their training has ended. As for when Xian Wang will use the accounting professional shadow guards that he and Xiao Ruxue have worked hard to train, that is Xian Wang's own problem.
Xu Qing, who originally planned to have sex with his wife, had to go out again because the Guoshang Academy received another order.
It’s a big deal this time!
The fireworks to be used on the night of the Queen's birthday banquet were purchased from the Guoshangyuan. The Guoshangyuan should arrange them well during this time, and money is not a problem.
Last year, not to mention the Queen's birthday, even his own birthday was not so grand.
Today is different from the past.
It seems that the Emperor of Chu has become richer since he obtained a large sum of money by raiding corrupt officials.
After Xu Qing finished giving instructions to the fireworks workshop, he saw Xiao Ye when he came out of the fireworks workshop. Xiao Ye was accompanied by Jiang Daoxuan and a middle-aged Taoist with a long beard, wearing a Taoist robe, holding floating dust in his hand, and making Taoist rituals with his hair.
Bun shape.
Jiang Dao
Xu Qing bowed to the Taoist and said: "Originally I just wanted Brother Jiang to ask the Taoist, how could I let the Taoist come here in person despite the long journey?"
Jiang Daoxuan said: "It's mainly a big deal of ten thousand taels. Master is worried and wants to discuss it in person..."
Taoist Chunyang, who had just restored his immortal spirit, suddenly turned dark when he heard this. He pulled Jiang Daoxuan aside, walked up to Xu Qing and said, "Fellow Taoist, please don't listen to the nonsense of this scoundrel Pindao. It's mainly because of our Taoist sect."
The secret book is only passed down to those who are destined to be here, so I came here to see if my Taoist friends are destined to my Taoist sect."
Today's world is not easy to live in. Even Taoist priests have become more realistic. After all, it is impossible to be unrealistic. If it is not realistic, Taoist temples may not be able to open. It is better to be realistic.
Xu Qing looked at Taoist Master Chunyang and asked, "I wonder if I have a destiny with the Taoist sect?"
Taoist Master Chunyang said: "My fellow Taoists in the poor Taoist temple are full of heaven, and Di Ge Fang Yuan is a person who has a great affinity with our Taoist sect. What's more, my Taoist friends are willing to give 10,000 taels of silver to repair the Taoist temple. This shows my Taoist friends' sincerity.
This frivolous person sells it... ahem, and passes it on to fellow Taoists. After all, silver... ahem, the power of piety is great."
Xu Qing had a dark look on his face when he heard this. Is he really that Yuanren?
Speaking of this, Taoist Master Chunyang suddenly changed the subject and said: "However, this light skill is the result of many years of careful study in our Taoist sect. It is very precious and should not be passed down lightly."
Xu Qing looked at Taoist Master Chunyang and didn't know what kind of lawsuit he was selling, but he still said: "What does the Taoist Master mean?"
Taoist Master Chunyang said: "Why don't you Taoists worship Pindao as your teacher and become a lay disciple like a bad disciple? In this way, Pindao can safely teach fellow Taoists the secrets of my Taoism."
"This..." Xu Qing couldn't help being silent for a moment. He originally wanted to buy a secret book, but who knew that to sell the secret book, he would have to give a master as a gift. This seems to be buy one, get one free, but why does he always feel that this Taoist priest is taking advantage of him?
Cheap?
But for someone who becomes a teacher once and becomes a father for the rest of his life. If he becomes a teacher so hastily, wouldn’t he be equivalent to having multiple fathers for no reason?
However, considering the Taoist priest's age, even if I worship him as my teacher, I won't be taking advantage of him. Moreover, if I have this light skill in the future, my safety will be improved by many levels. After all, the lady cannot be there anytime and anywhere.
Moreover, the Taoist sect has been developing for so long. It is not necessarily the only martial art of Qinggong, right? There must be many more. He calls him master, so why don’t he show it?
In any case, calling me master cannot be in vain, at least I have to get back to my roots in the secrets of martial arts.
Taoist Master Chunyang looked at Xu Qing who was thinking about it and said: "It is true that the inheritance of the master's sect cannot be ignored, and poor Taoists cannot make an exception. Fellow Taoist, please give it more thought."
Xu Qing finally weighed it up and said, "Okay, I would like to become my teacher to the Taoist Master."
Taoist Master Chunyang nodded and said: "If you Taoist friend can think of a way to relieve his pain, then I will do the apprenticeship ceremony another day. After you actually become the apprentice, you can always ask Pindao if you have any questions about Qinggong."
Xu Qing murmured at this time: "How about twenty thousand taels?"
