"I haven't been back to this Jade City for many years. I'm not very familiar with it. It's up to you to decide. But one thing is, don't make it too expensive. It's really hard to afford." Qi Xuansu was influenced by Qiniang and had never played.
Even a beauty like Zhang Yuelu cannot do this with her swollen face and pretending to be fat.
Zhang Yuelu said with a smile: "Brother, you have settled the score clearly. Can I still take advantage of you?"
Qi Xuansu touched his satchel and said, "Whether two people are sharing the meal equally or one person is treating the guests, it is not advisable to be too extravagant. It is better to respond to the call of the Taoist sect and be frugal in everything."
Zhang Yuelu forgot the purpose of his visit for a while and couldn't help but said: "Stingy guy, you won't get a wife in the future if you do this. I'm going to have a big meal today."
After all, Qi Xuansu was not Qiniang. Seeing Zhang Yuelu say this, she just opened her mouth, but could not utter any words to refute.
Having said that, Zhang Yuelu still led Qi Xuansu to a small shop in a remote location, which looked very cheap.
Zhang Yuelu said: "I used to come to this store often. It tastes good and the price is fair."
While he was talking, the landlady here came over and said, "Miss Tantai, you haven't been here for some time."
Zhang Yuelu usually used the name "Tantai Chu" when he was outside, not just for Qi Xuansu.
Zhang Yuelu said vaguely: "Once you have achieved the 'Big Grain Technique', you will rarely come back."
"What a pity." The landlady is just an ordinary Taoist, but in Yujing City, except for second- and third-grade Taoist priests, there are so many innate people that no one would think that fasting without food is so miraculous.
Qi Xuansu did not speak, but silently estimated Zhang Yuelu's cultivation level in his heart. He was at least at the Yuxu stage, and he was so young. He should be a fifth-grade Taoist priest, also known as a candidate mage, with an unlimited future.
Zhang Yuelu found a clean table and sat down, and said to the landlady: "Two big bowls."
"Okay." The landlady responded, turned around and went to the kitchen.
Not long after, the landlady came back with two bowls of beef noodles on the tray in her hand.
Qi Xuansu was stunned for a moment, and then said after a while: "You used to come here often?"
Zhang Yuelu nodded and said: "Why, you don't like it?"
"Of course not." Qi Xuansu shook his head and said, "When I was traveling abroad, I ate in the open air and ate dry food as cold as stone. There was nothing I liked or disliked. But I didn't expect that Miss Tantai would like it.
Eye."
"Then what do you think makes me attractive?" Zhang Yuelu sat opposite Qi Xuansu and casually took a pair of chopsticks, "Even if it's a male
My dear daughter, you still have to eat whole grains before eating grains."
Qi Xuansu said: "Grains and grains can also be divided into high and low. I thought you were the kind of person who never gets tired of fine food and never gets tired of fine food. If you don't eat it, you will eat it. When you eat it, you will eat flowers. You quote all kinds of scriptures, including seasonal solar terms and
Poems and songs, down to the use of utensils and cooking techniques, must be clear and logical."
Zhang Yuelu couldn't help laughing and said: "You really think too highly of me. I want to be arty, but I am empty-handed and don't have that kind of knowledge."
"Then we can be considered as people of the same mind." Qi Xuansu said with a smile.
Zhang Yuelu sighed: "There is one more thing, and that is the word 'poor'. Although there is money every month, and there is a residence in Taishangfang, there is no shortage of human connections in Yujing City, just colleagues
I was overwhelmed by all the socializing and entertainment. The cheapest way to go to the Phoenix Tower was NT$1,000, while here, a bowl of noodles only cost NT$10,000. I don’t need to say more about which is higher or lower.
"
Qi Xuansu patted the table lightly: "These are not the same people."
Zhang Yuelu was slightly startled.
Qi Xuansu paused for a moment and then said: "This is the period when Bo Ya meets his son, and when he meets his bosom friend in the mountains and flowing water, he is a confidant. I have also been tortured by the word 'poor' to this day. I am really a rich and heroic man, but it is difficult for a man without money.
It’s really unspeakable.”
Zhang Yuelu was amused by Qi Xuansu and temporarily forgot about his purpose.
When Zhang Yuelu first came to Yujing, he came into contact with several so-called young talents because of working together. Most of these people were children of aristocratic families. Although they were polite on the outside, they were like tigers and wolves on the inside.
He regards it as a piece of fat on his lips. He thinks that as long as he defeats his kind, he can enjoy the taste of fresh fat all to himself. He never cares whether the "meat" is willing to let him "enjoy" it.
This made Zhang Yuelu very unhappy and angry, so he used some tricks to severely lose the face of one of them, and gradually developed the arrogant temperament he has today.
On the contrary, it was Qi Xuansu who changed Zhang Yuelu's temper under some circumstances. Zhang Yuelu did not think Qi Xuansu was a dangerous person, but found it interesting and in line with his own temperament. Although there were some problems with his background, it shouldn't be a big problem. He might as well be a friend.
, drink and chat.
Qi Xuansu breathed a long sigh of relief.
Now that the trick is over, we still have to find a way to get rid of this Tantai girl. Although this Tantai girl has a good appearance and a good temperament, she is too dangerous, and I don’t know where she has exposed her flaws.
Since she's been spotted, it's really not appropriate to have too much contact with her.
It's just that Qi Xuansu didn't know what Zhang Yuelu was thinking at this time. If he knew, he would lament that he was self-defeating and his cleverness was mistaken for his cleverness.
…
In the middle of Taiqing Square, below the statue of Taishang Taozu, on the Xumizuo on the third floor, three young men and women in regular clothes are standing against the railing.
The Xumizuo at the foot of the statue of Taishang Daozu is divided into three floors. Each floor is three feet high, and the third floor is nine feet high. Standing on it, you can overlook the entire Taiqing Square. It is a good place to visit. However, usually, the third floor and the third floor are as high as nine feet.
The Xumizuo on the second floor is not open to the public, and ordinary people can only walk around on the Xumizuo on the first floor.
These three people were able to reach the Xumizuo on the third floor, so they must have good status.
One of the young women asked: "Did you really see Zhang Yuelu coming this way?"
Another man holding a telescope replied: "That's absolutely true."
The young woman said happily: "Isn't this Zhang Banxian busy being the deputy hall master? How can he have the leisure to hang out in Taiqing Square?"
The same young man who answered smiled and said: "I advise you to be merciful. This time, the great master who is on duty has appointed her to be the deputy hall leader. Two of the three deputy masters, the great master, are optimistic about her real future.
Wuliang. The few of us may still rely on her in the future."
The woman's face was not very good-looking, but she did not speak harshly. She just said: "If I meet her in person, I will definitely call her deputy hall master."
Another man who had not spoken until now said slowly: "In my opinion, this girl from the Zhang family is not actually arrogant. The key is that she is weird."
The woman became interested and asked, "How do you say it?"
This man's surname is Lu, and his name is Lu Shuihan. He is a direct descendant of the Lu family of Taiping Road. His two companions are both leaders of the younger generation. The woman is Bai Yuru and the man is Zhao Huang.
Lu Shuihan is now a fifth-grade candidate mage, while Bai Yuru and Zhao Huang are sixth-grade preparatory mage. The three of them had a small "misunderstanding" with Zhang Yuelu in the past.
"This woman is very interesting." Lu Shuihan said unhurriedly, "I have seen many arrogant women. They have eyes on the top of their heads and look down on those who are inferior to themselves, or even those who are almost the same as themselves.
But Zhang Yuelu has a solitary temperament. With her temper, she can treat even a beggar with courtesy. If she doesn't have her temper, even a third-grade Taoist priest will be rejected by her thousands of miles away."
Zhao Huang added: "A few years ago, a young master from the Li family came to the ancestral court and happened to meet Zhang Yuelu. He wanted to make a good story, but somehow he offended Zhang Yuelu.
Lu, was invited to fight by her. Witnessed by others, the two fought openly and openly, using different methods. It turned out that the young master of the Li family lost. He was willing to admit defeat and left the ancestral court immediately. He has not come back yet.
Pass."
"I know this. The young master of the Li family is called Li Tianzhen. The seniority of the Li family is 'follow the law and have destiny.' From the seniority point of view, Li Tianzhen is the great-great-grandson of Xuansheng, although he is not the direct descendant of Xuansheng.
, but they are the direct descendants of the Donghuang lineage, Xuan Sheng and Donghuang are brothers from the same lineage."
Lu Shuihan held his hand on the railing and looked at the prosperous scene at his feet: "I heard that the Imperial Master and Master Qingwei are very fond of Mr. Li. It is really a great honor for Zhang Yuelu to be able to brush his face and still be safe and sound."
Bai Yuru said helplessly: "Whoever makes a person's life good has fallen into the eyes of the earth master somehow, and if there is a heavenly master of the same family, who dares to provoke this evil star?"
While he was talking, Zhao Huang, who had been holding up a telescope, suddenly said: "Is that Zhang Yuelu over there?"
"Where?" Bai Yuru immediately looked around.
Zhao Huang handed the telescope in his hand to Bai Yuru, then pointed in a direction.
Bai Yuru took the telescope and looked at it, and said in surprise: "It's really Zhang Yuelu, but who is that person next to her?"
Zhao Huang shook his head and said: "I've never seen a new face."
Lu Shuihan, the most mature and prudent person, was also a little surprised: "Could it be someone from the Da Zhen Mansion?"
"I can't see it." Bai Yuru stared at the telescope, "She looks like Zhang Yuelu's little lover."
"It's possible." Zhao Huang was happy, "A woman like Zhang Yuelu is too strong and can't be subdued by others. Even Li Tianzhen returned home defeated. Who dares to bring trouble to herself? She can only raise a pretty boy."
Bai Yuru still stared at the telescope with her right eye and laughed out loud.
At this moment, Zhang Yuelu in the telescope seemed to realize something. He suddenly turned his head and looked at Bai Yuru through the telescope.
For a moment, Bai Yuru felt as if her right eye was being burned by lime. She screamed and the telescope in her hand fell to the ground with a clang.
…
"What's wrong?"
Qi Xuansu noticed that Zhang Yuelu, who was walking side by side with him, suddenly stopped, and then he stopped and followed Zhang Yuelu's gaze, only to see the tall and majestic statue of Taishang Daozu.
After a moment, Zhang Yuelu looked away and said with a smile: "It's nothing."
After that, Zhang Yuelu continued to move forward.
