The master and the servant were walking on the way back to the academy with the setting sun on their backs. The sky was full of rays of rays of light shining on the two of them. There were also three sunsets in the bowl of water Li Ye was holding...

Unknowingly, we were on the road to the General's Mansion again.

The young lady from the General's Mansion held her chin with her little hand and sat blankly on the stone steps in front of the mansion, looking towards the roadside, thinking that it had been a month and there was no news about this boy Li Ye.

Li Ye walked quietly, thinking about what his husband said in the afternoon. Unexpectedly, he came to the road in front of the General's Mansion again. Looking at the young lady sitting on the stone steps from a distance, he secretly said to himself, she sees

Can't see me, she can't see me...

The young lady was just thinking about it when she looked up and saw Li Ye holding a bowl on his head and about to walk past the General's Mansion.

She felt happy in her heart, pushed hard with her feet, jumped down the steps, and ran to Li Ye: "Stop, Li Ye, what are you hiding from? Come here. This princess is looking for you for something."

When Li Ye saw that he couldn't hide, he had to stop and look at the young lady helplessly. "What's the matter? Tell me quickly. I'm holding the water in my head. I'm so tired that I'm in a hurry to go home."

With a smile on her face, the young lady held Li Ye's sleeve with her left hand, and gently stretched her right hand towards Li Ye's shoulder: "Don't be angry, just show me your bowl."

I wanted to take the iron bowl, but I didn't expect that the iron bowl filled with water was very heavy. I shook my hand and the water in the bowl spilled out and onto Li Ye's robe.

Li Ye was speechless, and patiently said to the young lady: "If you want to see it, let me take it to you. Isn't it ugly to be so messy and make me wet my robe?"

The young lady's face suddenly turned red, and she thought to herself, "This fool is really practicing cultivation, and he is no longer angry with me."

Holding the iron bowl with more than half of the water left in both hands, he said softly to Li Ye: "This bowl is indeed very heavy. I didn't expect you to be so powerful. When will you teach me and let me push it too?" He said that he was about to pour it into his own.

Put it on your head.

Li Ye laughed angrily at the little sister. "You're a girl, isn't it ugly to do this? If you want, I'll lend it to you to play with in a few days, just don't damage it." After saying that, he took it from the little sister's hand.

I have passed my own alms bowl.

After hearing this, the young lady felt happy. She quickly pulled Li Ye and said, "You have agreed that you will play with me and I promise not to break it."

Li Ye nodded, handed the bowl to Agui, and put it on his shoulder. He said to the young lady, "It's okay, I'll go back first."

He turned around to leave.

The young lady was so anxious that she quickly pulled Li Ye and said with a mysterious face: "Don't worry, we haven't said anything about the business yet!"

Upon hearing this, Li Ye was so dumbfounded that he stopped again and looked at the young lady with a sad face.

"Sister Li from Hongxiu Tower announced a few days ago that she was offering a reward of 500 gold coins for writing a poem for her painting. People in the city went crazy and lined up in front of the Hongxiu Tower to send poems!" the young lady said with a look on her face.

He looked at Li Ye proudly.

Li Ye still replied with a grimace: "That's none of my business. Just let go. My parents are waiting for me to come home for dinner. You should hurry back and don't hang around the door. Girls are precious."

When the young lady heard that, she quit, her face flushed with sweat. "That won't work. Aren't your poems good? Didn't Sister Li grind ink for you last time?"

"You are responsible for writing it, and I will deliver it to Sister Li. After collecting the money, we will split it equally. How about that?"

"It's not that good, why should we share it equally? Two hundred and fifty per person?" Li Ye really laughed this time.

After saying that, he ignored the young lady, turned around, called Agui and left together.

Later, the young lady jumped up in anger and yelled: "Don't run away, I will go to your house to find you tomorrow night, and my parents will go too."

After yelling, the young lady turned around and went back to her house.

Agui was left laughing behind Li Ye.

Li Ye frowned and said, "Agui, why did she go to my house? With her parents."

Agui followed behind and quickly replied: "Isn't it my birthday tomorrow, madam? No, I invited the General's Mansion and Sanhao Medicine Pavilion, and it seems that there is also the owner of Hongxiu Pavilion."

Without replying to Agui, Li Ye quickened his pace and went home while he could.

...

When he entered his house, it was almost dark, the lamps had been lit in the academy, the food had been put on the table, and he was waiting for Li Ye to come back.

After taking off the bowl on his head and preparing to fetch water to wash his face, Ye Zhiqiu came over.

The mother-in-law, who had not seen her son for a month, was naturally very happy. She hugged Li Ye and shouted: "Son, it's been a long time since we last seen each other. My hair has grown. It's still so good-looking. I won't stop shaving it in the future."

I’m bald. Ah!”

Li Ye nodded in agreement. He took my mother's hand and walked towards the flower hall when his stomach growled.

The master was already sitting at the dining table. He was happy when he saw the couple coming in. He looked at Li Ye and said, "Have you been studying or practicing in seclusion for a month? Have you gained anything?"

Li Ye quickly returned the gift to his father and said: "Back to my parents, my son has been reading the poems and books in Mr.'s study this month and has almost finished them. His cultivation seems to have also reached a new level in this month.

.”

Upon hearing this, the master beamed, looked at Ye Zhiqiu and said, "Madam, our son is still smart. It's rare to be happy today, so he has to have a drink."

Mrs. Ye was also happy and ordered her servants to go to the kitchen to get wine.

The three of them sat down, and Madam filled Li Ye's bowl with vegetables as usual. She touched Li Ye's head and said softly: "We haven't sat down to eat together for a long time. Today is an exception. Let's talk while we eat.

"

Li Ye nodded and said, "Okay, listen to mother."

The master took the rice wine brought by the servants, poured a glass for his wife and himself, looked at Li Ye and said: "You have been practicing with the master for so long. It is said that you are naturally smooth, but why do you still look at the third or fourth level of Qi gathering?

Wushuang is now at the seventh to eighth level of Qi gathering."

Li Ye held up his chopsticks and was about to eat meat. After hearing what his father said, he had to put down the meat on his lips and replied: "Sir, the highest state of practicing a religion is that there is no state. As long as the place you think about in your heart, your body will

It can be achieved! If you use a master from the Great Buddha Temple, then it is: unspeakable.”

"My husband taught me earlier that practice is not for fighting or showing off. Practice is just a very personal matter and is not worth comparing with others."

After saying that, he put the meat into his mouth and ignored his parents' interrogation.

When the master and his wife heard this, they were stunned. They thought that the masters and disciples from other schools all wanted to improve their realm non-stop, trying their best to find exercises everywhere, buy elixirs, and then go out to compete with others in martial arts. This is not the case.

The husband not only taught his son tea ceremony, harp music and spiritual practice, but also taught his son how to cultivate his moral character and cultivate his character. His teachings were not even comparable to those of the husband and wife.

Ye Zhiqiu was filled with joy. His son was practicing with his husband, and he was already knowledgeable and educated at a young age. As he put vegetables into Li Ye's bowl, he said, "This is important to practice. You must also pay attention to your health. Don't get exhausted."

Li Ye asked about his mother's birthday tomorrow and said that his husband asked him to stay with his parents at home tomorrow and have a day off.

Speaking of this, the master who was drinking intervened: "Tomorrow I will invite people from the General's Mansion, City Master Xia, and Master Li from Hongxiu Tower. You can play with your friends in the academy tomorrow morning, and you can follow me at home in the afternoon.

We will receive guests together. Also, I have invited your classmate Tang Chao and his parents."

Li Ye nodded, indicating that he would listen to his parents' arrangements.
