Qi Xuansu ran around for a day and helped Huangfuji get the matter done, mainly through matchmaking. Qi Xuansu acted as the host and invited the chief of Shibotang to drink tea with Huangfuji. The conversation was almost done. Next, the people below went
Formally discuss some details and finally sign the contract.
For an individual, one and a half million yuan of peace money is a large amount. Qi Xuansu has been carrying huge debts for two lifetimes, and still does not have even a cent of the money. His pocket is cleaner than his face, so this is the amount. But for Taoism, it is indeed
It's not a big amount, and there's no need to go to Jinque to discuss it. Jiutang has enough autonomy.
If the previous Jinque discussion had reached a resolution and it had become a trend, maybe there would be some changes in this matter. But now that no resolution has been reached, it is another trend.
The key point is that the conditions offered by Xidaomen are too generous. The investment of 1.5 million yuan of Taiping money and the expected return of 3 million yuan of Taiping money are a good deal and doable for everyone.
Jiutang is also about performance. Isn't the performance of Shibotang the word "money"? Don't think about big things all day long. The arms business at the beginning of the year was the right time, place and people, and it doesn't happen often. Generally
The situation still adds up to a small amount, and this kind of long-term, stable investment is needed.
When a port is built, Xidaomen provides land, manpower, raw materials, and policy support, while Daomen invests in capital, technology, channels, and overseas markets. This is a win-win cooperation between both parties.
After resolving these matters, Qi Xuansu met Master Shi Da again.
This time there is something serious.
Because Huangfuji also wanted to visit the Wanxiang Taoist Palace and learn about the Taoist sect's reserve talent construction, Master Shi Da called Qi Xuansu here just for this matter.
What Shi Dazhen meant was that Qi Xuansu, as an outstanding talent from Wanxiang Taoist Palace, accompanied Huangfuji to visit.
This was originally in Qi Xuansu's plan. Even if there was nothing to do with Huangfu Ji, he would still plan to go there.
However, Master Shi Da also had another request: let Qi Xuansu, an outstanding senior, give a speech to encourage the students of the younger generation, so Master Shi Da asked Qi Xuansu to make preparations in advance.
Master Shi Da did not call Qi Xuansu for nothing. A few years ago, the Wanxiang Dao Palace imitated the Westerners and established a selection mechanism for friends of the Dao Palace. Only very outstanding Dao Palace students can be included in it. However, it does not include entering the upper palace.
If the high-quality Taoist priests who studied were included in the Shang Palace, it would cover almost the entire Taoist high-level, which would be meaningless. Therefore, Zhang Yuelu, Yao Pei and others have no chance. Zhang Yuelu is from the Shangqing Palace, and Yao Pei is from Wuxu.
Li Changge is from Qingling Palace.
Friends of the Dao Palace are mainly targeted at people from lower palaces. Qi Xuansu has been confirmed to be selected and will soon become an outstanding Friend of the Dao Palace, so this speech is also a bit like an acceptance speech.
Yesterday I was proud of Dao Palace, and tomorrow Dao Palace will be proud of me.
If I don't stand out, I can only say that I graduated from a certain Taoist palace, and the biggest and only label on my body is also a student of a certain Taoist palace. It seems that my whole life has stopped at the moment when I was admitted to the Taoist palace. If I get ahead of myself
, that is, a certain big shot came out of a certain Taoist palace, and his career in a Taoist palace was just a stop in his life, nothing special.
In the first thirty years, I watched the Dao Palace and respected the students. In the next thirty years, I watched the students respect the Dao Palace.
If Qi Xuansu becomes the Grand Master, then the Wanxiang Taoist Palace will probably build a statue and a monument for him. Look, this is the Grand Master we taught!
In fact, many people have also analyzed that even if Qi Xuansu fails in the competition for the Grand Master and fails in the competition for the Third Master, he still has two places to go. One is the Zixiao Palace of the Grand Master lineage to take over the position of Jiang Dazhen, and the other is Wanxiang
Taoist Palace, connected to the location of Shi Dazhen.
Especially for the latter, Qi Xuansu, who was born in the lower palace of Wanxiang Dao Palace, is simply in the right place at the right time and the right people. As long as he wants to compete, almost no one can be his opponent. Don't underestimate the great master of the Wanxiang Dao Palace.
There are so many peaches and plums in the world, who doesn’t call out “Great Master” when he sees them?
Qi Xuansu always felt familiar with this outstanding Taoist palace friend. He seemed to have had a similar dream, but it was not that Xiao Yin had difficulty in going to school, but that Xiao Yin graduated from the Wanxiang Taoist palace.
Qi Xuansu naturally agreed immediately.
Let Chen Jianchou write a manuscript, he will make two more revisions, and then go directly to the stage to read the manuscript.
As for the sincerity and sincerity of what Master Shi Da said, it lies not in the words but in the performance on the spot.
Qi Xuansu is destined to be very busy today. He will also meet Qiniang next about the apprenticeship ceremony.
The identity of Master Donghua is there, and it is a formal occasion, so it cannot be fooled casually. However, it should not be too expensive, as it will damage the reputation of Master Donghua.
Qi Xuansu raised this issue immediately, and Qiniang said it would be up to her.
Although Qiniang had never let go, Qi Xuansu did not dare to let go completely.
Qiniang arrived at Qi Xuansu's new home as promised. She walked around first and affirmed that "it's well organized."
Qi Xuansu specially led Qiniang to her residence, which was the courtyard behind the main courtyard on the middle road, next to the garden. Under normal circumstances, the old lady who had handed over the power of housekeeping and lost her husband lived here.
Qiniang was very dismissive: "Am I very old? Who wants to live under the same roof with you? You want me to see the faces of you two in your life. Wait until you become the great master. No, you become the great master."
No way either.”
Qi Xuansu has nothing to do
As the saying goes, "Love can't live forever."
"You kid, the more you become a official, the more courageous you become. When your wings become hard, you feel that I can't deal with you, so you don't take me seriously, right?" Qiniang took out a box and said, "In that case
, do you want the apprenticeship ceremony?"
Qi Xuansu changed his face and said, "Of course."
Qiniang sneered and made a nasal sound, "Huh?"
Qi Xuansu stretched out his hand to gently caress Qiniang's back, signaling her to calm down, "Children are ignorant, they are all joking."
"Humph." Qiniang sneered again.
Qi Xuansu sighed, "Let's make a condition and be happy."
Qiniang looked at him sideways, "What qualifications do you have to negotiate terms with me? Your monthly payment has been advanced to ninety years later, which is the Western calendar..." ??
Qi Xuansu interrupted, "That means there's nothing to talk about?"
Qiniang said, "Give Xiao Yin to me and let me take care of her for a few days."
"You?" Qi Xuansu showed great distrust, "Can you do it?"
"You can do it, but I can't?" Qiniang immediately asked, "You don't think you are good at raising children, do you?"
Qi Xuansu said earnestly, "Children are not the vassals of their elders. They also have independent personalities. We must fully respect the children's personal opinions."
Qiniang was full of confidence, "Then you go ask Xiao Yin and see if she is willing."
Qi Xuansu was really not confident. On one side was Zhang Yuelu, who made her study all day long, and on the other side was Qiniang, who mainly indulged and had fun. She thought with her feet and knew who Xiao Yin would choose.
Xiao Yin takes care of you. Among the people close to her, whoever takes care of her is a good person. Compared with grandpa, Lao Qi takes care of less, and Lao Qi is a good person. Compared with Lao Qi and Lao Zhang, Qiniang takes care of less.
, Qiniang is a good person.
However, Zhang Yuelu has been very busy recently. Xiao Yin is not easy to worry about, so it is not impossible to leave it to Qi Niang. In any case, Qi Xuansu was also taught by Qi Niang, so there is no problem. Moreover, Qi Niang has one advantage over Zhang Yuelu.
My mother can cook and even make mooncakes.
Qi Xuansu said, "Xiao Yin is coming to attend the ceremony anyway. You can ask her yourself. I have no objection."
Qiniang threw the box in her hand to Qi Xuansu, "See for yourself."
Qi Xuansu opened the box and saw two pieces of ink inside.
As the so-called "grinding ink" means grinding the ink block in the inkstone while adding water to turn it into ink.
Although bottled finished ink is now available, for serious writing and painting, ink blocks are still used to grind the ink on the spot and adjust the concentration of the ink at any time. Generally speaking, when a boss is writing or painting, his subordinates will take the initiative to take on the responsibility of grinding the ink, and then
Let's talk about things again, and things will fall into place.
From this, ink-making masters came into being. The ink blocks made by these masters will also have corresponding words, such as the signature of the ink-making master. Some ink blocks have become a certain person because of the fame of the ink-making master and their age.
A collectible.
Qi Xuansu said, "Master Donghua has never seen anything before. Are these two pieces of ink a bit different?"
Qiniang looked at you as if she didn't know anything about it, and said calmly, "Look at the signature on the ink."
Qi Xuansu reached out and took out a piece of ink.
The ink has no name, only the signature.
The signature is "Master of Taiping Renwu Jianxiu Mountain".
Taiping is the reign name of Emperor Daxuan Gaozu, Renwu is the year of Jiazi, the master of Jianxiu Mountain, Qi Xuansu is the most memorable, and is the Xuan Sheng.
In other words, this is the ink made by Xuansheng himself during the Taiping period.
Regardless of the year or the person who made the ink, this ordinary piece of ink has a very special meaning. Although it is not a fairy or a fairy, but with the name of Xuan Sheng, in this competition for great masters
The critical moment is such a good meaning, which is hard to find.
Qi Xuansu looked at another piece of ink.
There is also no name, only the inscription "Master of Taiping Renwu Forgetting Sword Peak".
Qi Xuansu was surprised again.
"Master of Forgotten Sword Peak" was originally the nickname of Xuansheng. Later, Xuansheng gave up this nickname to Mrs. Xuansheng, and only retained the title of "Master of Jianxiu Mountain". In other words, this piece of ink is Xuansheng's nickname.
The handwriting of the Holy Lady.
It can be seen that Xuansheng and Mrs. Xuansheng are quite elegant. When the couple has nothing to do, they make ink together.
There should be quite a few of Xuan Sheng's ink or Mrs.
In Sheng's later years, Xuansheng stayed in seclusion for a long time, and the couple rarely saw each other, let alone such leisurely moments.
Qi Xuansu couldn't help but ask, "Qiniang, where did you get such a good thing?"
Qiniang said casually, "You don't know? I found it in Yao Zu's palace. It might have been given to Yao Zu by Mrs. Xuansheng. Yao Zu didn't put it in the Yao family's old house, but in the palace. Oh yes, I forgot.
, you were already dead by then."
Qi Xuansu said dissatisfiedly, "I'm dead, how can you still find the treasure?"
"Of course I'm very sad." There was no trace of sadness on Qiniang's face, "But we must turn grief into strength. If we don't take away some treasures, my trip will be in vain, and secondly, won't you die in vain?"
Qi Xuansu hummed and said, "I can see that the capital you later got into starting your business was all taken from Yaozu's palace, right?"
