Chapter 9: You're the fifth uncle's sweet little padded jacket
The fifteenth year of Yong'an, the eighteenth day of the first lunar month.
Nanyu Mansion, Jingping Official Road.
It's Haishi.
Lone stars were scattered like jade beads in the sky, the sky was as dark as ink, and a caravan was driving on this official road.
The public security of the Great Zhou Dynasty was relatively good, not to mention the smooth official roads, and there was a post station every hundred miles. Caravans entering the official road had to report, and when they arrived at each post station, they would be notified and stamped. If there was no Come and seal it, and the government will dispatch it within three hours.
Although the person may be dead, what is worth resting on is that the officials of the Zhou Dynasty will avenge you.
The purpose is to deter bandits and bandits. Just because you rob something doesn't mean you will be saved.
Otherwise, if you go through the official route, you won't get 20% of the shipping fee.
Generally speaking, the Chen family does not follow the official route. The cost of water transport is too high. Most of the profits from escorts are only about 30%. It is a bit distressing to have 20% taken away directly. But this trip is not just for escorts, but more importantly. It was to protect Chen Xuanqing when he went to Jinyun Mansion.
Otherwise, why would the Chen family hire so many escorts? Why would they have nothing to do when they are full?
The caravan was traveling very fast, and it was already midnight. They had to rush to Ping'an County. Although this was an official road, there was no guarantee that they would not encounter desperadoes. They just had to rush to Ping'an County and rest for a day. After reorganizing, it will be safer to set off early the next morning.
Inside the carriage.
Fifth Uncle Chen Peng looked at Chen Xuanqing with some curiosity.
At this moment, Chen Xuanqing was sitting in the carriage reading Buddhist scriptures, holding a pearl in one hand and turning over Buddhist scriptures in the other, which was really weird.
Chen Xuanqing asked someone to find these Buddhist scriptures. Chen Peng didn't know what kind of medicine his nephew was selling in the gourd, but after thinking about it, he expressed his concerns.
"Xuanqing, you usually make troubles and your fifth uncle doesn't care about you. But if you become a monk in order to enter the immortal sect, don't blame your fifth uncle for not giving you face and whipping you home."
Chen Peng sat in the carriage and looked at Chen Xuanqing and said seriously.
He doesn't care how noisy Chen Xuanqing is on weekdays. After all, no matter how noisy he is, it's just a child playing house. But if Chen Xuanqing does whatever it takes to become a Buddhist in order to win, then he won't be so easy to talk to.
"Uncle Wu, what are you talking about? I just read Buddhist scriptures casually. I would rather stay at home than be a monk."
Chen Xuanqing glanced at his fifth uncle, and then put down the Buddhist scripture in his hand.
He can endure hardship, but he cannot be a monk and does not have that kind of virtue.
"That's good." Chen Peng nodded. He was really afraid that Chen Xuanqing would do anything to win. But in the end, Chen Pengji said helplessly: "Xuanqing, there is something that Fifth Uncle really can't understand. You said your qualifications are average. , Why do people with ordinary bones and good health insist on cultivating immortality?"
"The clan doesn't really want you to have ten or twenty children. If you have the ability to give birth to five children, they won't say anything. When the time comes, no one will care about you when you go to cultivate as an immortal, and you will be given your own rights. How can such funding be like now? It’s urgent and urgent, and haste makes waste.”
Chen Peng spoke, somewhat puzzled, not understanding why Chen Xuanqing was so resistant.
Just saying this, Chen Xuanqing couldn't help but hum.
"Fifth uncle, you don't know the virtues of our Chen family. It doesn't sound like much to have five children, but my father, uncle, and grandpa want me to give birth to a boy. Five boys. I really can't say that. If you say nice things, you can give birth to someone you haven't seen for three to five years."
"I am eighteen now. If I delay for three to five years, I will miss the best years. What is important in cultivating immortality is to be carefree. How can I do whatever I want when I have a child?"
"Anyway, I don't want to be a father so early."
Chen Xuanqing also expressed his feelings.
In fact, this was the reason why he was so resistant.
It is easy to give birth to a child, and it is a man to raise a child.
As a time traveler in the new era, his whole body is full of positive energy and bathed in the light of the righteous path. Chen Xuanqing cannot and will not do this kind of thing.
Therefore, Chen Xuanqing has to cultivate immortality first before he considers his future career.
"Hey, yes, everyone has his own worries. You have your own thoughts. Uncle Wu won't stop you."
Chen Peng had nothing to say. He had come here and had an unbearable experience. From the bottom of his heart, he really didn’t want Chen Xuanqing to be like him, but for the sake of the Chen family, he still hoped that Chen Xuanqing could renew his incense before cultivating immortality, even if
It’s okay to be one.
After hearing what Chen Peng said, Chen Xuanqing suddenly became interested.
"Uncle Wu, are you worried too?"
Chen Xuanqing really cheered up when he heard that Chen Peng was worried. He needed spiritual stones now, the more the better, lest he would not have any spiritual stone flowers after joining the Immortal Sect, so the little he could earn was worth it.
"It's not nonsense. How can we not worry about it when we are born as human beings?"
Chen Peng replied angrily.
"What are you worried about? Tell me to make me happy. Oh, no, tell me and let my nephew help you think about it. Maybe my nephew can help you come up with something."
Chen Xuanqing opened his mouth, making Chen Peng happy to say it, and also helped him solve his problems.
"just you?"
Chen Peng glanced at Chen Xuanqing with contempt in his eyes.
"Uncle Fifth, you are a fan of the authorities. Have you never heard of this? Maybe my nephew can help you solve your problems."
"Fifth Uncle, please tell me. It's okay anyway. Why don't you find something to chat about? When I enter the Taiyi Immortal Sect, I may not be able to go back for a few years. Don't you miss me?"
Chen Xuanqing urged.
These words made Chen Peng a little curious. Normally, Chen Xuanqing would really not be so considerate and help you solve your problems?
Why has it changed?
But think about it, it was boring along the way, and it would be nice to chat between uncle and nephew.
"Okay, let me tell you, fifth uncle, doesn't your fifth uncle have three wives? This time when I go out, your three aunts want me to bring back gifts. Bringing gifts is a small thing, how can I do it?
It can not only make these three aunts happy, but also distinguish priorities."
Uncle Wu spoke, this was his worry.
It’s also a worry that many wives have, and normal people really can’t answer it.
Just like Chen Xuanqing, after hearing his fifth uncle's worries, he really didn't know how to answer for a while.
How to give three gifts to three wives and make all three of them happy while clearly distinguishing the priorities?
This is a proposition.
Chen Xuanqing couldn't think of an answer, but he had a diary of cultivating immortals.
Sure enough, the diary has been updated.

The fifteenth year of Yong'an, the eighteenth day of the first lunar month.
Haishi: In order to earn your fifth uncle's spiritual stone, you took the initiative to ask your fifth uncle if he had any worries. Your fifth uncle told you his worries. You couldn't solve the problem after thinking about it, but you thought that the almighty diary of cultivating immortals must be
There is a way to solve it, congratulations on your guess.
Brackets [Hint 1: Fifty Spirit Stones] [Hint 2: One Hundred Spirit Stones] [Hint 3: Three Hundred Spirit Stones] brackets.
---
New content has been updated, but what surprised Chen Xuanqing was that the price was so expensive?
You actually need fifty spiritual stones for a question like this?
Regarding the price of prompts, Chen Xuanqing had a vague concept before, that is, the larger the problem involves, the more difficult it is to solve, and the higher the price will naturally be.
But such a thing actually costs fifty spirit stones?
It's really outrageous.
Are you crazy about money and money? Have you never seen a spiritual stone? You are really a profiteer.
But after looking at Uncle Wu's worried eyes, Chen Xuanqing thought for a while and spoke.
"Uncle Wu, I have thought of a way."
Chen Xuanqing spoke.
"Hmm? Tell me."
Uncle Wu was a little curious. He really didn't expect Chen Xuanqing to come up with any good ideas, but it was still okay to listen.
"Two hundred low-grade spiritual stones."
Chen Xuanqing spoke with some embarrassment and asked for a reward of two hundred spirit stones.
Chen Peng: "..."
Do I need to pay for answering a question?
You are really Uncle Wu’s caring little cotton-padded jacket.
Chen Peng laughed out of anger.
"roll!"
In the carriage, Chen Peng shouted and ignored Chen Xuanqing.
This kid is just after money. It's a shame that I still think that Chen Xuanqing cares about me so much that he has grown up and become sensible.
Unexpectedly, it was for the spirit stone.
It's really...speechless.
"No, Fifth Uncle, one hundred, one hundred, okay? I'll help you solve the problem, and you give me the spirit stone. Let's win-win. Eighty, eighty, okay?"
Chen Xuanqing spoke quickly and lost one hundred and twenty spirit stones in one breath.
However, Chen Peng didn't even want to look at Chen Xuanqing.
eighty?
He didn't even bother to give the eight spirit stones.
After that, no matter what Chen Xuanqing said, Chen Peng just ignored him, which made Chen Xuanqing really feel a little uncomfortable.
It's all because of this cheating diary. The charge is so expensive. Would it be cheaper if it was cheaper?
It’s so embarrassing now.
Opening the Immortal Cultivation Diary, Chen Xuanqing wanted to see if there were any prompts.
Just seeing the recently updated content made Chen Xuanqing even more embarrassed.
---
Haishi: You opened the Cultivation Diary and learned that one cost fifty spiritual stones. You were in a very happy mood and thought the price was extremely reasonable. But what the Cultivation Diary didn’t expect was that you started a middleman business and improved four levels.
Double the price, which made your fifth uncle angry and ruined the business. Man, your name is greed.
Brackets [Free tip: Make preparations before raising the price, try not to appear too philistine, we can only facilitate the sale if you are willing to do so]
---
Yes, I forced Cultivation Diary to issue free tips. It seems that my behavior is indeed inappropriate.
Sure enough, doing business is a science.
Glancing at the dark-faced Fifth Uncle, Chen Xuanqing could only quietly pinch out fifty spirit stones, intending to reluctantly buy Tip 1 as compensation.
After all, we are a family, and my fifth uncle will not be separated by this matter.
Chen Xuanqing still understands big and small things.
But just when Chen Xuanqing was about to buy the reminder, the carriage suddenly stopped.
"Who's blocking the road?"
As a loud shout rang out, followed by a burst of footsteps, the fifth uncle in the carriage immediately looked extremely serious, picked up the saber, and said with cold eyes.
"Xuanqing, don't panic."
After saying this, Uncle Wu opened the curtain with his scabbard and stared forward.
Chen Xuanqing also used the gap to look outside the carriage.
He wasn't panicked, he just seemed extra cautious.
It was almost midnight, the night was dark and windy, and someone suddenly blocked the road. This was indeed not a good thing.
