In the side room of the west house, Yin Yiyun took out the fortune-telling disk and gave it to Xu'er to check carefully, talked about some household matters, and whispered something into Xu'er's ear.
Xuer's face turned red and she shook her head. She was embarrassed by the question.
Yin Yiyun was a little curious about this beautiful little girl who was born as a maid. Girls with a body of fire and Yin are so rare. Most of them, due to various reasons, become hopeless wastes before they even begin.
She did not teach the skills immediately, but asked with a smile: "Xu'er, now there is an opportunity in front of you. You meet the conditions for our Xuandu temple to recruit disciples in all aspects. If you are willing to join, you will no longer be a maid from now on, and you can
After regaining your freedom, you can be on an equal footing with Chen Mou from now on, as a senior brother and a junior sister, do you think about it?"
Xu'er was stunned for a moment, hiding doubts and vigilance in her eyes, and asked: "Does it mean that if I don't agree, sister, you won't teach me the practice skills?"
Yin Yiyun smiled and said: "Whether you agree or not, I will teach you the skills."
Xu'er's eyes rolled. She couldn't tell whether the other party's words were true or false. She longed to be a fairy like the young master, so she said seriously: "I have to ask my young master before I can reply to you, sister."
She just doesn't like to read and read, and she's not stupid.
Asking the young master when she is in doubt is what she thinks in her heart, and it is also a cunning trick to delay time.
"Congratulations, you have withstood the small test of your character. You can tell your son about this later without having to hide it."
Yin Yiyun didn't try again. She used some small tricks to spy on people's hearts from the subtle changes in their moods.
The little girl did not consider the "freedom" that the maid cared about, and the greed in her heart did not surface due to words and did not cause any trouble. Instead, she was wary of her. If she continued to test her, it would be self-defeating and counterproductive.
Junior Brother Chen, who can be admired by Senior Brother Gu and respected by Junior Brother Cui, is indeed worthy of his reputation, and the maid he has taught is also very extraordinary.
It took more than an hour to teach Xu'er to become familiar with the two main meridians and acupoints of the body, as well as the simple breathing and breathing exercises.
Watching Xu'er stumble and perform the exercises three times, Yin Yiyun made an agreement with Xu'er that for the next half month, he would go to the "Shanying" guest house of "Donglai Inn" in Fangshi every morning to find her and continue to study and practice.
Progress step by step every day until Xuer can master the basic part of "The Art of Combining Fire and Yin with Alchemy".
On the way back, Xu'er was chattering in high spirits. She had endless topics to talk about her vision for the future and her novel feelings about spiritual practice. The young master would not bother her. He would listen carefully with a smile, and occasionally reply with "Hmm".
I can share my excitement with all my heart.
After telling her son about Yin Yiyun's provocation to switch to Xuanduguan, she couldn't tell whether Yin Yiyun was testing her or had another purpose?
She didn't want to be separated from the young master. It would be great to be his maid.
No need to think about those complicated and disgusting things about intrigues, just follow the young master and enjoy the hot and spicy food.
Chen Mou chuckled and said, "She uses trials as a test, and you handled it well."
He reached out and rubbed Xu'er's head, which was smiling happily.
The senior brother has already told him that the core disciples have great authority in the various peaks of the sect. The fire-yin body is only rare. In the future, if he does not show unique potential, he will be able to obtain the status of an inner disciple and have a relationship with the core disciples.
The difference is huge.
He is not worried at all about being exploited by the sect.
"Xu'er, when I get back, I will formally teach you how to read and read. You have a good foundation. I still have a few books at home that are suitable for you to read now. I will bring them to you later."
Chen Mou's casual words turned the cheerful girl into a frost-beaten eggplant, unable to lift her spirits.
"Sir, if I still can't remember new words in a few days, will you slap me?"
"No, why should I hit you? You will remember it if you take more time."
"If... I mean if, I spent a lot of time and still couldn't remember it, would you be angry?"
Xu'er climbed up as hard as she could.
Chen Mou stretched out his hand and touched the forehead of the young girl who was looking up. It was as smooth as fine porcelain and she didn't have a fever. Why did she keep talking nonsense? He smiled and said, "I'm sure you can remember it after three days of hunger and nine meals."
"Sir, you are more ruthless than Sister Han'er. I can starve for up to four days."
Xu'er resumed jumping around, walking backwards, giggling with joy. Without paying attention, her soles slipped and she danced down the hillside, leaving behind a string of women screaming in the thick snow.
A certain unscrupulous man stood by with a smile. When the dust settled and fell more than ten feet below, he pulled out the girl who was stuck in the snow, and then helped to brush the snow off her body and head.
If you don't experience beatings, you won't grow up.
No matter how much he likes the girl's lively and flawless temperament, he will make her suffer some hardship, or let her ask for it.
Even if he can join the sect in the future and his starting point is much higher than that of ordinary casual cultivators, he will still have to endure the hardships of the sinister human heart and the severe beatings of the cultivating society. He does not need a vase maid monk at home.
Returning to the courtyard, Chen Mou took out a few books, pens, ink, paper and inkstones, and called Xu'er out from the kitchen.
Walking into Xu'er's clean room, he asked Xu'er to sit down. He opened the book "Education" and put it on the table. He pointed at the words on it from the beginning and asked questions one by one. If he didn't know or couldn't read, he would use a question mark.
Draw a circle mark with a pen.
By noon, I discovered that the girl could write and recognize more than 300 characters.
The others were thrown away and returned.
It’s good to have this foundation, but the requirements shouldn’t be too high.
After lunch, he told Xu'er to rest for half an hour. Looking at the lively and energetic girl, Chen Mou smiled and went out to look around the second-hand bookstalls and bookstores in Fangshi, and bought back a stack of books.
In the afternoon, I taught Xu'er five new words and taught her how to read and write them, and then gave her a copying assignment.
Mr. Chen took out a yellowed book and read the strange stories about ghosts, ghosts and mountain spirits to Xu'er vividly. He had to correct the girl's attitude of being tired of studying, clear away the shadow left by the past, and use some interesting stories to arouse her interest.
means to inspire her passion.
The effect was immediate. Xuer was immediately attracted by the story and stopped dozing off. The strange spirit in her eyes came back to her. She held her chin with both hands and listened in rapt attention.
After finishing two chapters, Mr. Chen ended with "If you want to know what happened next time, please listen to the explanation next time." He left the book in his hand on the table and walked out.
Opening the door leading to the main room, the two heads who leaned close to the door and listened to the corner quickly shrank back.
Ying'er held the needle and thread in her hand and pretended to stir it up, complaining in a low voice to Han'er, "Add two more charcoal, the brazier is almost extinguished, please shout now and move it."
Han'er hurriedly got to work, she always listened to Ying'er.
Xu'er held the yellowed book in her hand, chased her out and shouted: "Sir, the story is not over yet. Has the little vixen turned into a human form? Has she found the scholar who saved her?"
Mr. Chen didn't stop and said with a smile: "It's all written in the book, you can read it yourself first."
Crossing the threshold, leaving behind an extraordinary and elegant figure.
Liaozhai stories are suitable for all ages. He still remembers many wonderful vernacular copycat versions, and with his slight interpretation, there are ups and downs, and he has no worries about arousing the interest of young girls who are tired of studying.
"No... Master, I don't recognize any of the characters in this book."
Xu'er chased him out of the hall, feeling itchy in his heart.
When the words came to be used, Fang hated the few words, and she was eager to know the wonderful story that followed.
Mr. Chen waved his hand and walked straight into the quiet room in the west room. He refused to say another word and kept the eager girl outside.
He did it on purpose. The beauty of breaking the chapter is that you can't stop it.
"Xu'er, bring the storybook. Han'er and I both know some words. Let's take a look together."
Ying'er waved and shouted in a low voice.
The three heads came together and looked at the eye-rollingly complicated seal characters in the ancient book. Each head had three big characters. They looked at each other in confusion. They knew the characters, but they did not recognize the characters in the book.
To be honest, they have never heard such a charming and poignant story.
