Qin Liuxi took Si Lengyue and the others into the main hall, and first offered incense and kowtow to the ancestor. Si Lengyue generously added a thousand taels of sesame oil, while Gao Niang and his daughter did not have much silver, so they only added half a penny of broken silver.
But they are all very sincere.
Mrs. Gao was a little shy and said, "I will add incense and oil later."
Qin Liuxi smiled and said: "Master Patriarch will know your sincerity. You don't have to force yourself to pay for the sesame oil. You can just come to offer incense and pay homage."
Madam Gao nodded and said, "I also want to invite a statue back to worship."
"That's okay." Qin Liuxi called Wuwei and said, "Tell her the process of inviting a god statue."
Wuwei smiled and said: "Good people, follow the path of the poor."
However, Madam Gao did not move. She looked at Qin Liuxi hesitantly and expectantly, and asked, "I wonder if Master has a small portrait. I would also like to invite one."
Qin Liuxi was stunned.
Wuwei is also a bit unexpected.
Mrs. Gao explained: "The lives of our mother and daughter were given by the master. I have nothing to repay. I can only offer the master a longevity tablet. It would be better to have a small statue."
Wuwei looked at Qin Liuxi with some envy.
Offering small statues is not as good as the statues of gods, but it is still Qin Liuxi himself who receives the tribute. What he gains is the power of faith from the believers, which is of great benefit to his cultivation.
Qin Liuxi shook his head and said with a smile: "I don't have a small statue, but if you are willing, offering this longevity tablet is enough. Thank you very much."
Mrs. Gao was a little disappointed, but with a smile on her face: "I am the one who should say thank you."
Qin Liuxi asked Wuwei to take her to see the small statue, while she and Si Lengyue went to the Taoist temple behind to sit down and drink tea.
Si Lengyue looked at the two little tails of Teng Zhao and Wang Chuan: "Who are these two?"
"Oh, these are the disciples I just accepted yesterday. They are the direct sons of the fifth generation of our Qingping Temple. This is Xuan Yi, and this is Xuan Xin." Qin Liuxi introduced the two disciples to her, and also said to the two disciples
The son said: "This is Miss Si from Qingzhou Prefecture. She is an acquaintance of my teacher. Let me greet you."
Teng Zhao and Wangchuan stepped forward and saluted her.
Si Lengyue returned the courtesy, touched his body, felt a little embarrassed, and said: "I didn't expect that you had already accepted a disciple, but you didn't bring the greeting gift. I will make up for it when I return to the city."
"It doesn't matter. People who practice Taoism don't pay attention to these things." Qin Liuxi said to his two disciples: "You go to find the master and listen to his sermons and introductory lessons."
The two of them bowed obediently and retreated.
Si Lengyue sighed: "Isn't it too early to accept a disciple at your age?"
"It's too late for me. I'll accept those who are compatible with me first. When they leave, I'll take it easy." Qin Liuxi narrowed his eyes and said.
Si Lengyue only thought that she was the Taoist priest and the direct disciple of Qingping Temple, so she was so troubled to develop the Taoist disciples, but she didn't expect that people simply thought that once the apprentice left the Taoist priesthood, she could live in retirement.
"Why did you come to Li City?"
Si Lengyue said: "The Si family has an industry called Rongxiu. I plan to open a branch in Licheng City and let Madam Gao take care of it. This is what I promised before. The mother and daughter have left their hometown, so they can avoid some problems."
Bitch.”
"Why, her husband's family is still bothering her?"
"That's not true, but the Gao family has not had an easy life since mother and daughter left. They are very unlucky. People with dark hearts will not see good things in others. If Mrs. Gao is well off, we will meet in the same city.
Who knows what evil thoughts the Gao family may have? What if they threaten Yan'er?"
Qin Liuxi smiled: "If it comes to that, you can protect them."
"Indeed, I just think that it is better to do less than to do more. No matter in Licheng, they will feel more at ease with you." Si Lengyue smiled lightly.
Qin Liuxi said lazily: "If you had come earlier, I wouldn't have had a headache, and I would have asked you to help plan this business."
"oh?"
Qin Liuxi didn't hide anything, and simply told him about opening a shop, and finally said: "By the way, you still don't know my secular identity, right?"
"Taoists don't ask three questions, I have a sense of proportion."
Qin Liuxi waved his hand: "My family name is Qin. My grandfather is Qin Yuanshan, the former minister of Guanglu Temple. Now he committed a crime and was exiled. All the women and children were sent back to their old home in Licheng."
Si Lengyue was a little surprised: "Qin Yuanshan is your grandfather? It seems that there was a big mistake during the national sacrifice this year."
Qin Liuxi raised his eyebrows: "Have you heard about it?"
"The Si family's property also exists in Shengjing. The Si family has channels for people to pass on some news from the Di newspaper. I have seen this Di newspaper." Si Lengyue did not hide his news channels.
"It seems that being a family member is not just about doing business."
Si Lengyue smiled bitterly: "You know what I learned in the beginning, abacus and arithmetic. When I was only two years old, I was held in my mother's arms and looked at the account books and listened to the management. I have been doing the accounting alone since I was five years old.
When I was 2 years old, my mother gave me all the information channels in the family, including the entire Si family, because she left."
Therefore, she was forced to pull back the seedlings and encourage them to grow. Fortunately, they did not grow crookedly.
Qin Liuxi reached over, patted the back of her hand, and said: "I left home when I was five years old, and I followed the old Taoists to practice Taoism and learn skills. Day after day, you are better than me, and you have a father who loves you wholeheartedly."
"Then you have a master who is also a teacher and a father. You have grown up so well, free and easy." And you are as warm as the sun.
Qin Liuxi glared: "Why, are you worse off than me? Even in the cold weather, I have to go up the mountain to meditate to strengthen my muscles. This is so cruel if you are not your own child!"
Chi Yuan, the old Taoist, sneezed twice and said to his two disciples: "It is not easy to cultivate Taoism. You must not be lazy, let alone be like your master, who can't get out of bed even under the sun. It is very important to do morning exercises to strengthen your muscles and bones, otherwise
Where do you get the strength to drive away evil spirits and catch ghosts?"
Over there, Si Lengyue said: "You are better than me. Countless ledgers are piled up, which makes you vomit."
"I almost vomit when I draw talisman."
The two of them talked about the bleakness of their childhood, and finally looked at each other and smiled.
Everyone has different experiences, everyone has his own misfortunes, and everyone has his own blessings. This is everyone's way.
Si Lengyue returned to the topic and said, "So, your family is now a big family."
"Who says it isn't?"
"Then do you plan to use this shop as your old business and use it as the private property of your eldest son?"
Qin Liuxi nodded: "That's all I can think of. I am the most proficient in medical and mystical arts. I am familiar with exorcising evil spirits and catching ghosts, drawing and selling talismans."
As for the other things, she really couldn't think of them, and she didn't bother to think about them. She didn't like to deal with troublesome things. She could practice medicine, save people, catch ghosts, etc., she could do it at her fingertips, without any trouble, and it was simply a great kindness.
Si Lengyue was silent and stopped talking.
Qin Liuxi saw it and said, "If you have anything to say, you might as well say it directly. If you are more patient in doing business, I will learn from you."
"Liuxi." Si Lengyue called tentatively: "Can I call you that?"
"uh-huh."
"Liuxi, there's nothing wrong with doing business to the best of your ability, but it should be your personal property, so why is it mixed up with Qin's family's house?"
