The weather is getting colder and it’s already the end of November in a blink of an eye.
Chen Yining adapted to life in Jinmen and was busy with two major events these days. One was the establishment of the Taoist Association, and the other was the creation of Taoist publications.
In fact, it should be counted as three things. Whether it is to establish an association or publish a publication, it requires financial support. Chen Yingning relied on his old friends in Jinmen to entertain celebrities and rich people in Jinmen, and talked about mysteries every day, and he often used it.
The small movement technique caused ordinary people to exclaim in surprise.
After a lot of hard work, after half a month, I had raised several thousand yuan. But this amount of money was really far from Chen Yingning's goal, so he had the idea of using Fei Jingting's tiger skin as a banner.
One day Fei Jingting went to the quadrangle and heard what Chen Yingning said. He couldn't laugh or cry. Mr. Yan, Principal Zhang just used him to pull a tiger skin to make a banner. Why did Chen Yingning do the same thing?
His soul had been repaired recently, and there was only a tiny crack left in the sea of consciousness, where the round door was, but he could no longer cover it no matter what. So he changed his mind and practiced the second one while practicing.
The escape method obtained from the jade slip.
Fu Yunzhao left without saying goodbye, which made Fei Jingting feel depressed. He had been in a state of depression for more than ten days. He couldn't get interested in anything. How could he still find the time to come out and support the Taoist Association?
He directly asked Chen Yingning about the funding gap. Chen Yingning made some calculations and said that fifty thousand was not too little and one hundred thousand was not too much. Fei Jingting just threw in twenty thousand pounds, which shocked Chen Yingning and was speechless for a long time.
Perhaps due to the post-war economic recovery, the pound has continued to rise recently, and now ten thousand pounds can be exchanged for eighty thousand dollars.
What Fei Jingting didn't know was that it wasn't the pound that became valuable, but the ocean that became worthless. As one of the few currencies linked to silver, the silver dollar has been falling internationally due to the increase in silver mine production in Mexico and Peru.
Not only the British pound, but also the exchange rate of the Japanese yen to the silver dollar was rising steadily. The silver dollar depreciated, and ordinary people in the market had no reaction to this. They did not need to buy those expensive foreign goods, so life went on as usual.
But for national capital, this is a rare opportunity. Taking advantage of the depreciation of the silver dollar, many wealthy businessmen in the cotton spinning business in Tianjin expanded their production capacity. For a time, flowers bloomed and the oil was cooked. Unfortunately, this was only a temporary prosperity. We will wait for it.
When the exchange rate stabilizes, they will be the first to suffer.
Fei Jingting threw away 20,000 pounds, skipped the errand of going out to the platform, and asked Chen Yining about the progress of his work.
Chen Yining had the confidence of 20,000 pounds, and immediately said that whether it was the Taoist Association or the publication, he would get it done as soon as possible.
Fei Jingting did not expect the Taoist Association to do anything, but instead asked Chen Yining to spend more time on publications.
He had inquired from Yang Jinglin before and found that there was no Taoist Association at this time. As early as the year of 1911, Baiyun Temple in the capital had established a Central Taoist Association, and all participants were from the Beidi Quanzhen lineage. In recent years, Zhengyi realized that,
Seeing that Baiyun Temple didn't want to play with him, he simply made a Chinese Zhengyi Association.
One south and one north, a pair of Quanzhen, they are tit for tat, and they are incompatible with each other. Chen Yingning's desire to break the distinction of family status and create a Taoist Association that mixes all sects is purely a fantasy.
Unless someone in the newly created association can subdue both factions, forget it.
Fei Jingting didn't want to get involved, so he paid the money and left. He also gave up on the fairy tale novel he had promised before, saying that he was studying the serialization of the Condor Shooting and was temporarily unavailable.
After some time, the weather became colder and colder. Dean Ling brought back a physics master from the United States. Fei Jingting immediately abdicated in favor of others and stayed behind the scenes.
Provost Ling Bing thought that Fei Jingting was retreating in order to advance, so he tried to persuade him repeatedly, but when he saw that Fei Jingting kept pushing back, he gave up.
After quitting his job as a lecturer, Fei Jingting simply went to Principal Zhang Shouchun, who had just returned from the south, and said bluntly that since he had nothing to do and was light-hearted, he would simply quit his job completely to avoid being paid and not working.
Principal Zhang suddenly became anxious: "Jing Ting, what do you mean?"
Fei Jingting said sincerely: "To be honest with the principal, I have other important things to attend to. I'm afraid I won't have much time to come to school in the future."
"In this case... why not give Jingting the title of visiting professor? What do you think?"
Fei Jingting thought about it for a moment and then agreed. Literary men were very popular these days, so having a visiting professor as a visiting professor could intimidate Xiao Xiao. Apart from that, the warlords were fighting back and forth, and the literati mentioned many warlords' ancestors in newspapers.
Eight generations have been scolded, but the warlords were worried about their reputation, so they held their noses and endured it, not daring to touch the literati in the slightest.
The few warlords who did not care were directly nailed to the pillar of shame by the literati after their defeat, and they will be infamy for thousands of years.
"Okay, then I will be a visiting professor."
Principal Zhang lamented: "Jing Ting is talented and knowledgeable. Teaching students on campus will make him famous all over the world. It will be a good thing, but Jing Ting's ambition is not here."
"Oh, I'm used to being lazy. Principal, just don't scold me behind my back for not being polite."
"You……"
Okay, now I have nothing to do and I am finally out of the school. After coming out of the teaching building, Fei Jingting saw Zhang Leyao wearing a white cloak, standing in front of the door, reaching out to catch the falling snowflakes.
.
It's snowing.
Fei Jingting stood there, looking up at the falling fine snowflakes. It was already snowing in Jinmen, so it would only snow even more outside Guan, right?
Zhang Leyao took back his hand, turned to look at Fei Jingting, and then said: "You seem to have been avoiding me."
"Avoid suspicion." Fei Jingting's words were concise and to the point.
Since Fu Yunzhao is so worried about Zhang Leyao, then he should stay away from him. In a good life, there is no need to turn it into a Shura field.
Zhang Leyao said: "Miss Fu has temporarily solved the curse on me. I have thought about it these days and it seems that there is nothing wrong with being alone."
Fei Jingting exhaled a breath: "You can think about it as long as you want."
"I'm just thinking about it, but I'm afraid you might be having trouble thinking about it."
"How to say?"
Zhang Leyao said: "Since you have no distracting thoughts, why do you avoid me like a snake and a scorpion?"
Fei Jingting said: "I have thought about your question a long time ago. Sometimes in this life, a person will never meet the right person. Sometimes fate plays tricks, and he will meet several right people. What should I do at this time?
Choice?"
Zhang Leyao remained silent and did not speak.
"Other people don't know, but I feel that what is needed at this time is morality in the heart. Be responsible for others, be responsible for yourself, keep yourself clean, keep a respectful distance, and cut off when necessary."
Zhang Leyao turned around slowly, looked at Fei Jingting and said, "Are you afraid of being tempted by me?"
"I'm afraid she'll be too worried."
Zhang Leyao nodded and said: "Please thank her for me. Although the attack is heartbreaking, I won't die at least."
"Well, I will tell you when I have the chance. Huh~ By the way, I resigned and I will probably rarely come to school in the future. Well, that's it, I'm leaving."
Fei Jingting stepped into the fine wind and snow, and in a blink of an eye he was covered in white. Zhang Leyao still stood there, his eyes burning and thoughtful.
"If you have a chance to tell me... Fu Yunzhao is gone?"
Fei Jingting felt relieved and completely free.
In addition to instructing Yin Jinhua to practice Taihe Quan and helping Guan Xiyi practice the Fetal Breathing Technique every day, a lot of time was spent on practicing. In more than a month, sixteen acupoints were broken through, which was sufficient for Yangming's stomach.
There are a total of forty-five acupoints on the meridian, but they are still far from being opened.
A small incident occurred in late December.
Guan Xiyi mistakenly believed that the purchasing power of Tianjin people would be released at the end of the year after being suppressed for a whole year, so she hoarded a batch of fabrics.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I stocked up, a large amount of cheap fabrics hit the market. After a little calculation, I actually lost more than 3,000 yuan this time.
It was only later that I learned that some unscrupulous businessmen had colluded with the Japanese to package Japanese fabrics as domestic fabrics and wait for opportunities to dump them on a large scale.
This move by the Japanese also meant to suppress the slightly rising national capital. Guan Xiyi was so angry that she shed tears. She had worked hard for a whole year, but in the end she lost everything.
He was in a bad mood and had slacked off a lot in his cultivation. Fei Jingting comforted him several times and directly persuaded him to close the cloth village.
Fei Jingting knew that starting from next year, the king's flag will change on the city wall, and warlords from all sides will sing and I will appear. It will be especially difficult for merchants. One warlord in the front collects taxes, and the next one steps down, and the new one comes to collect taxes.
.
Instead of working hard and enriching the warlords in vain, it is better to retire and concentrate on cultivation.
Guan Xiyi seemed to have some thoughts. After thinking about it for a few days, she finally made up her mind and prepared to sell Guanji Buzhuang.
The cloth shop is in a good location and has accumulated many regular customers, so it is not difficult to change hands. Guan Xiyi focused more on arranging the store's clerks and tailors.
I stopped practicing for a few days, leaving early and returning late every day, and finally found a suitable buyer for the cloth shop. That family had also been running the cloth shop for generations, and they agreed and promised to treat the tailors and workers well.
On the day of the change of ownership, Guan Xiyi specially hosted a banquet for Sister Liu and Shunzi. They had been the boss for several years and the relationship had long been beyond a simple employment relationship. After drinking a few too many glasses of wine, Guan Xiyi even shed tears and told Sister Liu to come if she was wronged.
Looking for her, she went to find reason with her new owner.
He also told Shunzi that it is better to learn skills while you are young, whether it is tailoring or accounting, you must have skills to defend yourself, so that you can marry a wife and have children in the future.
This person was also strange. As soon as Buzhuang changed hands, Guan Xiyi had a few days of leisure, but then everything went wrong.
When I was idle at home, I became more and more angry and looked at Ni Qiufeng more and more unpleasantly, almost to the point of quarreling when they met. Even Fei Jingting suffered a lot and was scolded by Guan Xiyi.
As January approaches, Guan Xiyi seems to have adapted to the leisurely days. That day, she was in her room as usual, with Fei Jingting sealing the acupoints all over her body, holding a jade tablet in her hand, and started practicing according to the Fetal Breathing Method.
While breathing, bits and pieces of inspiration accumulated little by little, and when they reached their peak, they violently opened the small Zhoutian acupoints, the true energy flowed, and the true energy gathered in the sea of Dantian Qi, which looked like a baby, expanding from time to time according to the fetal breath method.
, sometimes shrinking.
At the same time, Guan Xiyi felt that no part of her body felt uncomfortable. The fetal breath method was running, and the sealed acupoints all over her body were opened little by little, and then they were naturally closed. When she opened her eyes, the whole world had become different.
.
Guan Xiyi slowly collected her skills, then exclaimed and ran out barefoot.
