Tonight, it must be very lively outside. Lin Yutong didn't want to scare the four members of the Tang family, so in the name of fumigating the house, he asked Gu to light incense in every room. In fact, the incense was soothing incense.
In her own room, she casually ordered some other medicinal powder and put it in to relieve the potency.
Therefore, after dinner, Lin Yutong asked Tang Jiu to close the door, and then ordered them to go down and have a rest. As soon as the night fell, it started to rain and the wind suddenly picked up. Lin Yutong also heard Gu closing the window.
Sound. In a closed room, a quarter of an hour with that soothing incense was enough for them to fall asleep deeply.
Lin Yutong and Fourth Master lit the lamp and looked through the rubbings.
I could understand it, but after reading through it briefly, I realized that the ones that could be used were actually very limited. In the eyes of Lin Yutong and Fourth Master, these so-called methods were to use themselves as the medium to communicate with the world and the people.
For example, if you burn some kind of talisman and tell the gods what you want, and the gods will grant it, then it depends on whether you want to send clouds and rain, or whether you want heavenly soldiers and generals to help... The prerequisites are very strict. First of all, you have to
You are someone's disciple, in other words, you are worshiping someone. Secondly, you have to cultivate to the point where you can use yourself as a medium. Otherwise, the immortal knows who you are?
This is probably what the rubbings say.
But this is a bit difficult for Lin Yutong and Fourth Master.
Why?
First, if you want to practice cultivation, you can get started. Looking at this record, I’m afraid it won’t work if you don’t have more than ten years of practice. To take a step back, it’s okay to practice for more than ten years. Anyway, just practice slowly. Life is so long, you have to do something.
What is good.
But even if they have mastered it, this is the second point that Lin Yutong and Fourth Master are worried about: You said this is to communicate with the gods. Okay! If there really is a god, then Fourth Master and Tong
Who do Tong and the others count? They are just unexpected visitors, people from outside the world. You said that you two stowaways came here secretly and stayed quietly. Why did you provoke the supervision department? It was fine.
Things, you have to touch them to seduce them, it's hard for them to pretend not to see it. It's like black and white, people can see the fourth master, and they know that the fourth master can see them. Maybe these two people are not nosy, but
Others may not be able to do it. So, this thing... maybe it can be practiced, but the problem is that considering the various consequences, the two of them dare not practice it.
Feeling very sad, I rummaged through the rubbings again and found two kinds among the rubbings.
One is to draw talismans, such as amulets, cloud and rain talismans, light body talismans, wealth gathering talismans, luck-increasing talismans, etc., there are hundreds of them. What makes Lin Yutong most satisfied is that there are several special talismans in it, like
They are ghost-repelling talismans, immobilizing talismans, rat-forbidden talismans, mountain-moving talismans, wine-taking talismans, and water-flowing talismans. These talismans all use the power of nature to achieve a certain purpose. They do not need to rely on others.
What.
There is another kind of alchemy, but this kind of alchemy is different from the alchemy that I have come across before. The kind of alchemy in the past really used things like mercury, but the one I am looking at now seems a little different. There are also required medicinal materials.
It's something with obvious toxicity, but... who takes this score? It's definitely not possible for ordinary people to take this... but if they can eliminate these toxins by themselves... like Xiaoqing, let alone the benefits, the benefits should outweigh the harms.
. However, this can be considered to have merits. Improvement and improvement may not be able to refine elixirs suitable for human consumption.
There are not many things, but Lin Yutong feels that it is an unexpected surprise.
Both Fourth Master and Lin Yutong can learn these two things. Of course, Lin Yutong's foundation in alchemy is obviously better, so he should be able to get started quickly.
After collecting these two things separately, and organizing other things that were not needed temporarily, Lin Yutong put them in the box and put them away separately. Who knows when they will be used.
The fourth master said: "I used to talk about talismans and spells. This talisman should be used together with the spell to have the best effect. It's a pity that there is only a talisman and no spell."
Just look for it slowly, don't be in a hurry.
The two of them were talking, and the sound of banging was heard in the distance. It was going to be midnight soon.
Maybe it's because it's not very peaceful here. The watchman doesn't go down this alley at night. Every time, he hears the watchman shouting from a distance: "It's dry and dry, be careful of the candle."
The two of them put away their things. It was cool in the night, so they all found their cloaks and came out. They gently opened the door and walked out. The four members of the Tang family were sleeping deeply as expected. These four people lived in the concierge's house just after they entered.
There are two rooms in the gatehouse, the east and the west. They are divided into inner and outer rooms. The inner room on the east is where the daughter of the Tang family lives, and the outer room is where the couple and their son live. When the door is opened, you can still hear the snoring of the Tang family, which shows that they are sleeping.
It's extremely down-to-earth.
Lin Yutong opened the door and looked outside, but couldn't see anything clearly. It felt like there was fog, the visibility was only two or three meters, and he couldn't see anything clearly.
Are you wondering? A green light flashed, and Xiao Qing appeared in sight. She held a long sword and stood in front of Lin Yutong. She looked around: "You really don't know how to live or die! You dare to come here if you have meritorious deeds. I
Look, one death is not enough for you..." As she spoke, she muttered words, and then the sword in her hand suddenly became brighter. The thick fog in front of her eyes dissipated in an instant. Even if Lin Yutong knew that these Ah Piaos were injured
He couldn't help her, but he was still so frightened that he stepped back.
There are all kinds of Ah Piaos, some holding their heads, some gnawing their hands. Anyway, they are the kind of images that make you feel uncomfortable when you look at them. When you look at them, you see a densely packed area.
.
Fourth Master pulled Lin Yutong behind him: "Close your eyes and don't look."
But I’m still curious! I’ve never seen it before.
Xiao Qing said: "You don't have to be polite to these... there are very few good-hearted people who can stay until now. These are the ones who are unwilling to reincarnate." As she said that, the sword in her hand seemed to have spirituality.
Some of the Ah Piao darted back and forth among the group of people, collapsed under the sword.
"Spare your life! Spare your life! Girl, please spare your life!" A kid with a red nose, blue face, fangs and purple lips advanced instead of retreating and knelt straight in front of Xiao Qing: "Girl, spare your life, we don't dare to do it anymore. Not only do we not dare to do it anymore,
We are still watching, not asking others to disturb the peace of the two nobles, we only ask the girl to show mercy..."
Xiao Qing looked at him and snorted: "It depends on whether you have the ability."
"Yes, yes!" The kid kowtowed repeatedly: "The villain has several brothers. If the girl can't handle this matter well, without the girl taking action, the boys themselves will have no shame..."
Xiao Qing pointed around: "Go ahead! After you finish your work, go to Prince Qiu's Mansion to find me..." As he said that, with a light touch of his hand, a vague aura floated out from those little ghosts, and Xiao Qing was
He caught it in his hand. Then with a wave of his hand, Lin Yutong felt the cold air dissipate. He raised his head and saw a bright moon and a few stars. This was a sight that he had never seen before.
"How is it?" Xiaoqing felt a little proud.
Lin Yutong nodded: "Amazing!" She smiled: "Then I'll leave it to you. The merit you need..."
"Hey!" Xiaoqing waved her hand: "I keep my word. You can try to see if what I give you is real before giving it to me..." After saying that, he handed over and left, and disappeared with a flash of green light.
Lin Yutong chuckled: "Sometimes they are indeed more human than human."
Since that night, the house has been peaceful. Nothing has come near.
As for Lin Yutong and Fourth Master, the first talisman they learned was the ghost-expelling talisman.
To learn how to draw talismans, you must first have yellow paper and cinnabar. As for the brush, Lin Yutong has all kinds of brushes.
But to be honest, this thing is not so easy to learn. During the day, there are servants at home, and occasionally neighbors come to visit, but Lin Yutong is not easy to learn. She only starts to learn it at night, when she and her fourth master are alone in the house.
Painting.
The runes were complicated, and I had been drawing them for more than ten nights, but I still couldn't complete one. On the contrary, the Fourth Master, after half a month, drew one. Don't worry about whether it is good or bad, it was finally done.
But as for the effect, only the ghost knows.
The two of them went to try it without even thinking about it. The painting was done. Lin Yutong stuffed it into the fourth master's purse. If there is anything useful, wear it.
When they were about to go out, the fourth master remembered something, "There is no need to deliver food today. Master has chosen a few people to go to the lake with the county magistrate. I will go with you to see..."
Then this...it won't work if it's so simple.
Lin Yutong took off the clothes on his body for the Fourth Master again and changed into a low-key and luxurious material. He originally planned to hang a purse on his waist, but now he doesn't want to hang the purse on his body, but will put it in the sleeves of his clothes. Lin Yutong
Put a money bag with copper plates in one sleeve, and gold and silver beads in the other sleeve. When you go out, you must not miss money.
The fourth master was dumbfounded by her torment: "I'm on the boat, where can I spend money?"
Just be prepared.
The people who can be chosen by the master are all people who are spiritual in reading. This time, there are four people brought with him, including the fourth master who has just not attended the class with the master for a few days.
The county magistrate invites you to visit the lake, which shows your closeness to the people.
When we arrived at the place, we found out that the county magistrate had found a huge boat, and more than thirty masters had been invited, along with more than a hundred students.
The county magistrate had already been surrounded by the masters, and there was no chance for these students to show their faces. However, the students did not push forward. There were dozens of singers and dancers on the boat, on the three floors above and below.
There was Mr. You, who was a classmate of the fourth master, and he pulled the fourth master over: "...This is the girl from Cuihonglou. You can't invite anyone else..."
The fourth master waved his hands repeatedly: "I have a fierce wife at home. Brother You, please don't harm me. Just go ahead and I'll just stand here."
Clearing thousands of miles, blue waves rippling, singing and dancing, it is quite interesting.
Just when I was enjoying watching it, I heard a song coming from far away. The song was so tearful that it made the singing and dancing on the boat suddenly lose its color. Many people were lying on the side of the ship, looking in the direction where the singing was coming from.
In the distance, people are approaching. A boat like a lotus leaf floats towards this side. Standing on the boat is a woman in white clothes, holding an oil-paper umbrella that looks like an ink painting. The boat has no
The oar moved automatically, and within a few breaths, the woman's face could be seen.
What a beauty! She is indeed a beauty.
But the fourth master stepped back warily. There was something wrong with this woman. A boat of that shape could go so fast without a paddle, even if it was equipped with an electric motor. All these illogical phenomena were explained.
This woman is probably not a normal species.
The fourth master is no longer a feudal king, and he doesn’t say anything about ‘those who are not from my race must have different hearts’. He also wants to live in harmony. But this requires these unknown species to also have this understanding.
Look, everyone here is intoxicated. The fourth master really doesn't believe that there is nothing charming in the singing.
Just as the person was approaching, suddenly, the color of the sky and the earth changed, the wind suddenly rose, and then the rain began to fall. The woman's oil-paper umbrella and the canoe immediately began to sway in the wind and rain.
The county magistrate sent someone: "Hurry, hurry, hurry! Get this girl up quickly. They are all my subjects. I really can't bear to see the people under my rule suffer any pain."
The fourth master frowned and looked at the woman. Sure enough, the woman followed the messenger and got on the boat directly. Not only did she get on the boat, she actually ran towards the county magistrate. She walked to the county magistrate and bowed down.
The voice was like the first cry of an oriole, and it was very moving: "I have met the county magistrate, I wish you well."
The county magistrate involuntarily stretched out his hand and helped the woman up: "No need to be polite, no need to be polite. Get up and sit down quickly..."
A flash of realization flashed in the fourth master's eyes: I'm afraid that the county magistrate may not be a good official. Otherwise, these people would never dare to get close.
Just as he was thinking about it, he saw a man standing up, taking two steps towards the middle, and following closely, he stood between the county magistrate and the woman.
The county magistrate looked ugly: "Li Gongfu, what are you doing?"
Li Gongfu cupped his hands, and then pointed at the woman: "Sir, this woman appears out of nowhere! Considering how big the West Lake is, even if you shout on the boat, you may not be able to hear it even ten meters away. But what about her? When she appeared,
, I'm afraid it's several miles away. At such a long distance, I really don't know who can do this. What's more, I have never seen such a ship, let alone such a ship without wind.
Automatic, automatic without paddles... Therefore, I’d better stand by your side. It’s my responsibility to protect you.”
The county magistrate got angry: "You...you..." After a long time, you didn't come up with a reason.
The woman smiled softly: "Your Majesty is an official, and since then all evil has been immune to invasion. If the little girl is really that evil spirit, how can she get close to your body?"
"Exactly!" A flattering master nearby said, "My master is so upright and upright, so why should you be afraid?"
What followed was a chorus of agreement.
The county magistrate looked a little annoyed when he saw Li Gongfu, but he still said: "Your loyal officer knows it. Go down and have a few glasses of water at the bar, and just don't worry. There are also Dukes Gongun on the boat, so what can happen?"
"
Li Gongfu was almost dragged down. As soon as he left, the atmosphere became lively.
The woman claimed to have learned art in the mountains. She just came down from the mountain today and met the county magistrate. The Fourth Master was about to walk a little further when he suddenly heard the woman say: "Little girl, it happens to be a grand event for meeting friends through literature.
I also want to get a lucky number." As he said that, he took out a bead from his arms. The bead was as big as a dragon's eye and shone with colorful treasures. "Which gentleman got the lucky number, the little girl would give it to him with the pearl..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the boat was filled with the sound of breathing.
Even the dozens of masters present here were gearing up and preparing to take the test. They didn’t care about whether they were masters or not, and they just shouted for the county magistrate to come up with the questions.
Fourth Master became wary. A bead aroused everyone's greed. What did she want to do?
He was about to look for Li Gongfu to see if there were any rescue boats on the boat. He wanted to leave first, but he heard the woman say: "My husband, are you leaving now?"
Fourth Master frowned, but it was directed at him?
Before the Fourth Master could speak, the Fourth Master's wife first said: "This is my student. He has only been in school for a short period of time, but his qualifications are excellent. He is reserved and indifferent, so please don't force yourself..."
The woman smiled: "How dare you, little girl, force yourself? I'm just afraid that my husband won't see the pearl clearly." She handed it forward with both hands: "My husband might not notice..."
"No need!" The Fourth Master shook his head, and the ghost-exorcist charm on his body felt as if it had rushed out. In other words, this bead was not a good object, and it might have come for him. He bowed his hand to the county magistrate and retreated directly.
go out.
That Xianggong You laughed and said, "Brother Siye has a rouge tiger in his family. I'm afraid he won't be able to be free."
Everyone gave them a face-saving smile, and the matter was revealed.
The woman stared at the fourth master's back and didn't look away for a long time.
Because Li Gongfu was dismissed by the county magistrate, he was already feeling uncomfortable. A few colleagues exchanged words with each other, and he felt even more uncomfortable. As soon as the fourth master said that he wanted to leave early, he immediately agreed.
In the name of delivering fresh aquatic products to his aunt and uncle in the grandpa's house, he asked someone to tell the grandpa. So, he left the ship very smoothly and headed back all the way.
After waiting far away, Li Gongfu said: "This master is too confused. Someone appears out of nowhere, and he dares to take him with him without asking for verification... If something happens, it will be us who will be punished...
…I hope I don’t bring this woman back…”
I will definitely bring it back.
After returning home, Fourth Master told Tongtong about the matter, and then took out the ghost exorcism talisman from his purse. He saw that the original bright red color of the cinnabar talisman on it had darkened.
Fourth Master is right, there is something wrong with that woman.
In the evening, Lin Yutong went to Mrs. Xu's house to inquire about the news. Sure enough, Li Gongfu was complaining at home: "I really brought it back... What if something happens..."
Mrs. Xu also told Lin Yutong: "Our husband-in-law is too timid to bring a woman back. What he should be worried about is his wife and his aunt. It has nothing to do with him."
If that woman is an ordinary woman, it really doesn't matter.
Before Xinghua was solved, someone with unknown origin suddenly appeared. Lin Yutong's heart was hanging, who knew that someone would come to his door.
Opening the door, Mrs. Xu looked embarrassed. She was followed by two women. One was dressed in white clothes and looked a bit fairy-like. The other had a sharp chin and foxy eyes, which looked quite charming.
"This is Miss Li and Grandpa's aunt." Mrs. Xu introduced Lin Yutong and whispered: "My aunt personally brought them here and asked me to accompany them for a walk. Who knows?
Come to your door...Miss Li said that the house has good feng shui and wants to come in and have a look..."
Lin Yutong looked at Miss Li and laughed: "Miss Li is really good at joking. It's okay to say that Feng Shui is good in front of others, but why do you say it in front of us? If the Feng Shui in this yard is good, Mrs. Xu won't do it either.
I was in early mourning and lost my mother, so I lived alone with my younger brother. Then you sold the house to our family. You also said that the feng shui was good. Are you saying that the house was sold cheaply? Are you not picking on our two families to make trouble?
?”
When she said this, a trace of confusion flashed in Miss Li's eyes, as if she was confused by the twists and turns in Lin Yutong's words. Seeing her look, this aunt's eyes flashed with joy, and the corners of her mouth
I can't hold back my smile.
She smiled and said to Mrs. Xu: "This lady from the Jin family is really eloquent. I didn't know that such a neat person came to our Qiantang County. From now on, we often come and go and talk together..."
Lin Yutong exchanged greetings with this woman, and looked at Miss Li out of the corner of her eye, thinking: This is another fairy who doesn't know the world.
I came in and drank tea, and all they talked about was nonsense.
Miss Li couldn't get a word in, so she suddenly said: "Today is the first time I meet the Jin family's wife, and I want you to entertain me..." After saying that, she took out a small box from her sleeve and pushed it to Lin Yutong: "Be careful, please give me a treat..."
Please don’t refuse.”
Then he looked at Lin Yutong nervously, as if he was afraid that she wouldn't accept it.
Lin Yutong stretched out his hand and opened the box. In an instant, the precious light overflowed. It was an extremely round bead with colorful colors rotating on it. It was so dazzling. The aunt and Mrs. Xu both said "Ah", then covered their mouths to hide it.
That surprise.
Miss Li's face immediately became a little complacent, and she looked sideways at Lin Yutong, just to see if she would accept it.
Lin Yutong closed the box: "That would be a great blessing."
She put the things away, but secretly squeezed her aunt's hand.
There was a hint of surprise in the eyes of this aunt, and then she coughed lightly and sat down again.
When Lin Yutong turned his back and put the things into Duobao Pavilion, he secretly poured the beads into another box without touching them with his hands. Then he held the beads in the new box again and took them casually.
One thing, he handed the box containing beads to the county magistrate's aunt, and pressed it heavily into her hand. And the other thing was given to Miss Li: "Miss Li is so polite, I don't have anything good here, either."
Miss Li’s money is precious, but it’s my heart after all.” It was considered a gift in return.
Miss Li reached out and took it without looking at what it was. She looked at it with a bit of joy.
The aunt took Lin Yutong's hint and naturally wouldn't open it in public. At this moment, she was very embarrassed, "Look, I came out in a hurry and didn't show any courtesy..."
"I love my aunt's handkerchief because she is an excellent embroiderer. If you are willing to part with it, give it to me..." Lin Yutong helped her out. The handkerchief was just a little more neat.
It was a worthless household item, and I felt that the wife of Jin Xianggong’s family was really sensible. So she handed it over, and her smile became more sincere: “You are a very good person, no wonder my grandpa’s family came to praise your husband. I didn’t believe it before, but now I see you.
I believe you."
The county magistrate doesn't know who the fourth master is at all, and these words are purely polite. But for today's matter, I guarantee that she will remember Jin Xianggong and his wife. That's enough.
Even though he may not be a big person, he is someone who can influence people around him, and he may be put to good use at some point.
The host and guest enjoyed themselves and sent the person away politely.
Then he looked at Miss Li's back and sneered, thinking: Maybe I'm afraid of you by using force, and you want to plot against me?
hehe!
But she said that after the aunt went back, she hid in the house alone and didn't let anyone disturb her. She was still worried about this, and she didn't dare to open the box Lin Yutong gave her until she got into the tent on the bed and took the beads in her hand.
, I wish I could hide it in my heart. After playing with it for a long time, what should I do in the end?
Putting it in a dark compartment beside the bed is considered safe.
The county magistrate has been very infatuated with Miss Li recently, but unfortunately she only hangs around and refuses to do this or that with him. He played chess with Miss Li for half the night, and then went to sleep with his aunt.
The two people who were lying on the bed in a state of confusion did not notice that there was something on their bodies that was being absorbed crazily by the bead.
At the same time, Miss Li, who sensed the inflow of Qi, sat down cross-legged and introduced the Qi into her body. But what was waiting was not the Qi of Merit and Dragon Qi, but two streams of filthy turbid Qi that rushed straight into her Dantian.
Immediately afterwards, she felt as if a shadow had been cast on her Dantian, and her whole body became hot and dry.
No! This won't work! This trace of turbidity, along with greed, anger, ignorance, alcohol, sex, and wealth, are all things that can destroy the foundation of Taoism.
how so?
how so?
She spent a lot of effort to spit out the trace of turbid air, but the scales on her body came out. She was shocked, and spent her last breath of energy to turn into a little bit, and flew out.
Early the next morning, before Lin Yutong woke up, she heard Tang Le's voice in the yard: "... Where did the carp come from? It's so beautiful. Did dad buy fish today?"
"No!" Gu's voice came with a bit of surprise: "Your father and your brother didn't go out. I asked your brother to bring this water up yesterday. There are no fish in the jar?"
Lin Yutong got excited and got up with her clothes on. The fourth master asked what was wrong, and Lin Yutong hurriedly got out of bed: "I'm afraid that Miss Li is not Miss Li, but Miss Li."
After going out, I saw a carp that was three feet long in a very large water urn, with a golden light shining on its body.
In this water urn, it couldn't turn around at all, but it still wagged its tail at Lin Yutong to please Lin Yutong.
Gu whispered: "It's a fish...it's in the water urn fine..."
"Oh!" Lin Yutong said, "I just told the mute fisherman a while ago that if I find a good one, I will send it to you and settle the bill at the end of the month. I'm afraid he came in to release it and we didn't hear it."
I thought so. They got up and opened the door first, then went to clean the backyard and water the vegetables in the backyard, even if no one in the front yard could hear them.
Gu laughed and said, "Let's just say, a fish will appear out of nowhere."
Tang Le looked at Lin Yutong carefully: "Madam, look at how beautiful this carp is, how about you don't eat it?"
Gu's face turned red and she quickly apologized.
Lin Yutong waved his hand: "Okay! Then I won't eat. You go and do your work."
After everyone left, she looked at the carp in the water urn: "Do you want me to release you, or do you want to stay here?"
The carp waggled its tail and nodded its head gently.
This means that it does not want to be released and wants to stay here.
Fourth Master came out and asked Lin Yutong: "Is it a carp?"
Lin Yutong said ‘hmm’, “I don’t want to leave yet.”
The fourth master came over, and the carp was wagging its tail again, looking very flattering. Lin Yutong chuckled: "If you have something to say, what you want, if we can give it to you, we will give it to you, just as a good relationship. You
If you are afraid of karma, you can exchange it for something of equal value. Why bother coming here to tempt me?"
The carp has its head buried in the water, as if it is shameless, which is quite interesting.
The Fourth Master then asked: "Can I still turn into a human form?"
The carp shakes its head and tail, which means it can't do it anymore.
As long as you can't become a human, you can just treat it as a pet at home. This thing is placed in the yard to look after the house and the yard, and it is easier to control than a dog.
So, the carp just stayed.
Tang Le called the carp "Little Carp", so everyone called the carp "Little Carp".
When Xiao Qing came to find Lin Yutong and Fourth Master carrying another bag of rubbings, as soon as she arrived at the door, Lin Yutong heard a little girl's voice: "Master, master, a snake demon is coming."
"Ah!" Xiao Qing appeared in the room out of thin air: "You are the monster. A little carp, if you can't jump over the dragon gate, go back and continue practicing. You still want to swallow the dragon's energy and transform into a dragon in one step. You are so beautiful. How dare you?
I am really tired of living with the inner elixir of the water ghost!"
The little carp bird was quiet and did not dare to speak.
Only then did Lin Yutong know the whole story. No wonder the ghost exorcism charm on Fourth Master's body worked.
Now that it worked, Lin Yutong said to Xiaoqing: "You can take advantage of that trace of merit."
Xiao Qing was stubborn: "You were right before. Even if I took your merit energy, you don't know how much I took. This time, I am looking for a way to practice Qi. You can practice it slowly.
Three years to five years, ten years to eight years, even thirty to fifty years, we will wait."
Compared with the thousands of years they spent practicing cultivation, thirty or fifty years is nothing.
It may be that she insists on this, but it is not easy. That breath of merit can make her turn into a dragon, which is a qualitative leap. Lin Yutong is really surprised that she can endure her heartbeat and not take action: "You are not afraid that I will spend the rest of my life."
If you can’t cultivate successfully…”
"That's because I don't have the chance." As he said that, his figure flashed and disappeared again in an instant.
Xiao Li felt regretful after hearing this. It was so easy to want that qi of merit? Did he really know that he would do it now? Why did he do it in the first place?
The qi training methods Xiaoqing sent were all kinds and everything. Even the most basic advantages and disadvantages could not be seen.
The two of them are not in a hurry to practice anymore, they want to find an opportunity to find a knowledgeable person and ask before talking.
What we are anxious about now is not this matter, but the exam that Fourth Master has to take. The imperial examination is a little different from the familiar examination system. In later generations, at least you have to start from the county examination, but now there is no need to do so. They are all state examinations and provincial examinations.
Finally, there is the imperial examination.
There will be state exams in late August, and now it’s time to make recommendations.
This recommendation means that each county recommends outstanding students to take the exam.
Because Lin Yutong had a good relationship with the county magistrate's aunt, who was also very particular and knew how to use people's money to do things for others. As soon as the news came, the Fourth Master had not even received the news, so the aunt sent Lin Yutong a letter.
When she came, she was told that her husband-in-law was the one recommended.
After all, they were the new residents who had moved in. They should be the ones with the least foundation, but they were directly recommended.
This made Mrs. Xu complain to Li Gongfu, "The people who are with me can't even do this..."
Li Gongfu said: "My master already sold me this face three years ago, how can I open my mouth again?"
"That Mr. Jin family..." As she said this, she paused and poked Li Gongfu: "Tell me, is it because of that incident?"
"What is it?" Li Gongfu looked at her inexplicably.
"That's the thing!" Mrs. Xu glared: "You will never remember what I told you. It was that time the lady of the Jin family secretly stuffed a box into the grandpa's aunt... Do you think we should...
…”
"What can we give you?" Li Gongfu turned around and said, "Wait a minute, I will think of a solution later."
"Wait a minute, wait until you think of a way, the day lily will be cold." She snorted softly: "My parents' yard has been sold and there are still forty taels left to pay off the debt. Let's add another ten taels to make up for fifty taels.
Auntie will send it to you?"
"Then have you thought about it?" Li Gongfu looked at her: "I will spend this money to buy a yard for Hanwen in the future, but it will really be gone. Even if you ask me to think of a way, I won't be able to change the money."
"The future is important." Mrs. Xu rummaged through the boxes and rummaged through the money: "If you have a future, you have everything. A yard, a house, land, a wife, that's not just having everything you want..."
